Chapter 36: Bamboo

"Didn't you say that you asked us to come and help build you a new place to live, why did you come here?" Pei Pei looked at Gan Guyu suspiciously, "Do you want to live in the back mountain?"

Early in the morning, Gangu Yu pulled Pei Pei to the back mountain, looked east and west, and looked like he wanted to choose a feng shui treasure to make a homestead, which caused Pei Pei to complain for a while.

"What's wrong with living here, isn't it just close to your vines!" Gan Guyu pointed to the grape trellis not far away, and replied solemnly, "I'm also going to plant some grapes here, so won't it be convenient to take care of it then?"

"Let's be honest. Pei Pei clasped his hands and stared at him, looking incredulous. Didn't you already plant a vine on the edge of your sweet potato field before, why did you change it now?

Seeing that he couldn't be fooled, Gangu Yu spread his hands and said, "There are fewer people here, so it's convenient to make a fire." ”

Pei Pei understands that the convenience of making a fire is naturally not for boiling sweet potatoes to eat. She glanced at Gangu Yu, and suddenly nodded solemnly: "I appreciate your way of thinking." ”

The two looked at each other and smiled. Peipei naturally decided that Gangu Yu was for the convenience of stealing meat, so he had to move out. And Gangu Yu, who has been sleeping in clothes for the past few days, started his relocation plan as soon as the cooldown of his growth magic ended.

"But do you still need my help to build a house?" Pei Pei asked again, "Aren't you an earth mage, you can just control some stones and mud to build a small house, right?"

"How can it be so untechnical. Gangu Yu glanced at her, "Brother is a literary and artistic young man with noble sentiments, and this residence naturally has to be elegant and chic." ”

Pei Pei stuck out his tongue at him, with a look of disgust: "Come on, apart from this so-called untechnical plan, do you have any other choices?" I warn you, you can't cut down these trees in the back mountain to build a house, there are few of them." ”

"These sparse woods, my brother can't look down on them. Gangu Yu pursed his lips, walked to the foot of a hillside, inspected the soil, and nodded slightly.

One by one, the pits appeared with Ganguyu's intention. Under Pei Pei's curious gaze, some strange strips appeared out of thin air on his hands, which looked somewhat like the rhizomes of plants, which Pei Pei had never seen before.

"What's new here?" Pei Pei asked, licking his lips.

"It's called a bamboo whip, and it's the underground stem of bamboo. "Bamboo is a plant with a wide range of uses, and one of the main uses is to build houses. ”

Bamboo is usually vegetative and reproduction through the underground stem commonly known as the bamboo whip, and the joints on the bamboo whip will grow fibrous roots and shoots, some of which will grow upwards to become bamboo shoots, and some will grow horizontally into new underground stems, thus growing a bamboo forest.

It's just that the verbal introduction is not very intuitive, Gan Guyu buried the bamboo whips into the ground one by one, and then supported Pei Pei to do the watering work. Bamboo is a kind of grass that likes warmth and humidity, and has high requirements for water and soil drainage, so Gangu Yu also ran half of the back mountains to choose the planting place of bamboo, and he was almost ready to give up, and still chose to consume magic power to cultivate suitable soil.

After ensuring sufficient moisture, Gangu Yu snapped his fingers and his mind moved, and bamboo shoots rose from the ground and quickly grew into a green bamboo forest. The speed at which bamboo shoots grow, even if there is no growth of all things, is the degree to which it grows when it sees the wind, not to mention that Gangu Yu is still trying his best to cast spells.

It wasn't until the amount of these bamboos was more than enough to build villas that Gangu Yu stopped the growth of all things under the natural curse. A gust of wind blows, and the bamboo sways with the wind, making a rustling sound. Pei Pei looked at such a scene, and was speechless in amazement for a while.

And Gangu Yu didn't say a word, and directly started the next step. He took out a machete and cut down the bamboos that had grown one by one, not forgetting to harvest some bamboo shoots along the way. When he piled up the bamboo poles as high as a hill in front of Pei Pei, the little beauty did not forget to denounce the behavior of Gangu Yu for destroying the beautiful bamboo forest.

"Don't worry, bamboo grows fast and it won't take long for it to grow again. Gangu Yu casually comforted Pei Pei, and then said, "The next time to ask for your help is here." ”

"Hmph, let's talk about it first, I decided to help you or not depending on my mood. Pei Pei raised his head and pouted.

"If you still want us to have a secret base that we can like, then please ask your old man to help drain the water from these bamboo poles. Gangu Yu raised his eyebrows and said playfully, "By the way, if you have a container on you, the water extracted will be given to you, which is a good thing." ”

In the processing and utilization of bamboo, it is a very important process to roast the moisture in it with fire, one can be moisture-proof, and the other can be straightened. After the bamboo pole is split, the bamboo juice that flows out from both ends is called bamboo drain, which has a sweet taste, which contains more than ten kinds of amino acids, glucose, fructose, sucrose and other nutrients, and has the effect of quenching thirst and suppressing cough and expectorant.

However, because of the existence of the water mage Pei Pei, the drying of the bamboo pole no longer needs to be roasted by fire, and she only needs to control the overflow of the water element in the bamboo pole. Moreover, this method no longer needs to bake back and forth with bamboo poles, which makes the initial processing efficiency of a large number of bamboo poles very high.

Pei Pei, who incarnated as a contractor of the Gan family, completed the task assigned to her by Gan Guyu, and at the same time did not forget to vent her dissatisfaction: "Draining the water in the plant, can't you do it yourself?

"Because my brother has more important things to do. "For example, lay the foundation and plan the internal structure of the new house." ”

Speaking of this, Pei Pei suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly asked: "By the way, you have building materials, but you still have the ability to build a house?"

Although Pei Pei doesn't know much about bamboo, it doesn't mean that she doesn't know what it is to build a house, and a fool also knows that harvesting bamboo poles and building a bamboo house are two different things, and the difficulty is far from the same. Can this guy really turn these bamboos into what he calls an elegant and chic place to live?

"Don't worry, I've built wooden houses before, so if I use bamboo, I don't think it's a big problem. Gangu Yu said very confidently.

Pei Pei was relieved to hear him say this, and the bamboo pole in front of her was completely accessible at this time. But Gangu Yu didn't use these bamboo poles immediately, but came to a clearing next to the bamboo forest.
