Chapter 364: New Emerald City

"You have also seen that my side is not as good as Fengdu City, and the background is not enough. ”

Xiao Yu smiled bitterly with a little headache: "Fengdu is a big city in the south of the mainland, and it has been taken care of by our natural forest for many years. But the people of Xincui City are still worried about their full stomachs. Fortunately, there have been two batches of relief food from Tingyu Restaurant, and there has been no starvation death for the time being, but people are constantly forced to flee the famine, let alone call them back. ”

Pei Pei looked at the people who were working hard in the fields with strong spirits, and his eyes showed unbearable expression: "Now it seems that we should have given priority to this side in the first place?"

Gan Guyu looked at Xiao Yu and sighed: "It is indeed difficult for you to be a member of the Desert Eradication Committee that manages this area. ”

"Then you, the superior leader, hurry up and help my sister find a way?" said Xiaoyu with his waist inserted.

"I took a general look, and the biggest problem on this side of Xincui City is that it is almost all saline-alkali land at a glance. Gan Guyu said, "It is estimated that even if there is no locust plague, the people of Xincui City will not have a good time, right?"

Xiao Yu nodded: "There is not much land that can be cultivated here, and the area is still decreasing year by year." According to the method described in the document you issued, I have improved the condition of some land by means of deep ploughing and deep ploughing, irrigation and drainage, and salt washing, but after all, the manpower is limited, and at most I can only prevent the saline-alkali land from continuing to spread, which seems to be a drop in the bucket. ”

"It's because of the lack of magicians from the water and earth systems, so the efficiency is very low, right?" Pei Pei immediately said, "I can come to help, Xiao Guyu, you can too, right?"

Hearing this, Gangu Yu smiled bitterly, spread his hands and said, "Yes, yes, but this can't solve the fundamental problem." Even if it is the law god of the water and earth system. It is also impossible to improve how much saline-alkali land can be done at once. ”

When Pei Pei and Xiao Yu heard this, they both closed their mouths a little helplessly.

"In this case, we should adapt to local conditions and plant some salinity-tolerant crops on those plots that cannot be planted with wheat. "Sunflowers were a good choice, but now that the planting season is over, it is unrealistic for farmers to plant them on a large scale. ”

Pei Pei stuck out his tongue: "And whether it's fried or squeezed." Sunflower seeds aren't going to solve the immediate need anytime soon, are they? ”

"Indeed, the point is to seize the time to let everyone solve the problem of food and clothing. Gangu Yu also seemed a little at a loss.

There were quite a few salinity-resistant plants he knew, but most of them were trees, and the slightly better ones were just fruit trees. Regardless of whether these plants can be hungry or not, their relatively long growth cycle is enough to discourage Ganguyu from promoting them now.

"Hehe, don't worry, there will always be a way. At this moment, a young man came over with three small bowls, "Two distinguished guests have come from afar. Let's try our specialty black milk first!"

This young man is Ye Bin, the city lord of Xincui City, who is said to be a descendant of a certain high-ranking official of the empire, and invited himself to this poor small city to serve as the city lord. It's just that he came to Xincui City for three years, and he has done his best for this small city, and he is deeply loved by the people.

Gangu Yu had a good impression of the young city lord. The gold and silver cups are not as good as the reputation of the common people, and this Ye Bin City Lord can be called "the savior sent by Mother Nature" by the people of Xincui City, naturally there will be no reason.

He thanked the other party. Picking up a bowl of so-called black milk and looking at it, I couldn't help but be happy. He originally thought. The so-called black milk is supposed to be some kind of black cow milk, but it is really black milk worthy of the name.

"Surprised, wasn't it? I was also shocked when I first saw this kind of milk. Xiao Yu smiled, "Try it, although it doesn't look good, it tastes very good!"

Gangu Yu was surprised when he heard this. Xiaoyu was raised by Gangu Yu when she was in the natural forest, and there are not many things that can make her praise a very good taste. He blew off the cream film on his face. After taking a sip, I couldn't help but look shocked.

Nima, this, this isn't chocolate-flavored milk!

Seeing Gan Guyu's expression, Xiao Yu smiled even more happily: "In the past, it was Xiao Guyu who made us show this expression. Now it's finally a turn of feng shui. It can be seen that sooner or later you will have to pay it back!"

"It's delicious! I heard it was milk, and I thought it would be fishy, but it turned out to be so delicious. Pei Pei's eyes lit up again, and she drank her small bowl of black milk in one gulp, "How is this milk, can you teach me? I will go and make it for my sisters and the high priest and grandmother!"

"Little fool, it's just a matter of giving it to the sisters, do you dare to bring the milk to the high priest?" Xiao Yu saw that her face was still unsatisfied, so she pushed her bowl of black milk in front of Pei Pei, playing with the taste, "It seems that you have forgotten the rules and precepts of the natural forest in less than a year since you followed Xiao Guyu out, right?"

Pei Pei reacted when he heard this, stuck out his tongue and laughed embarrassedly, and listened to Xiaoyu continue: "But you ask how to make this black milk...... It's as simple as squeezing the fresh milk out of the black cow and then boiling it. ”

"Oh, that sounds pretty simpleβ€”" Pei Pei just nodded his head and was startled, "What did you say?!"

Gan Guyu was also stunned before he reacted: "Sister Xiaoyu, you mean-"

"That's right. Xiao Yu was quite satisfied with the reaction of the two, "Black milk is unique to Xincui City, a kind of milk from livestock called Black Cow, which is born black!"

Gangu Yu and Pei Pei Qi turned their heads to look at Ye Bin, who smiled and nodded.

Pei Pei was amazed, and unceremoniously drank a few sips of the black milk that Xiaoyu had given her. Gan Guyu looked at her expression of wanting it, but she was embarrassed to speak, and smiled secretly in her heart, but her mouth was provocative: "This black milk should be very precious in Xincui City, right?"

Pei Pei was shocked when he heard this, and Xiao Yu sighed lightly: "How do you know." ”

"The milk that Lord Ye personally served, and he only served three bowls, obviously he didn't have his own share. Gangu Yu spread his hands and said as a matter of course, "The delicious specialties that even the city lords can't drink at will are not well-known on the mainland, so the yield must be very low." ”

Ye Bin smiled: "Not bad." Black cattle feed on wheat stalks, in the past, the residents of Xincui City, who could raise one or two black cows at home can be regarded as a wealthy family, the number of black cattle is scarce, and black milk is naturally precious. Last year, we planted a small amount of sweet potatoes, and later found out that the black bull is also very fond of sweet potato vines. But just as everyone was preparing to plant a large number of sweet potatoes and raise a few more black cattle by the way, the locust plague came, which is really ...... Hey!"

Hearing this, Gangu Yu's heart moved, and he hurriedly said, "City Lord Ye, can you take me to see this kind of black bull?" )
