Chapter 320: Growing Stronger
"What's the name of this dish?"
"It's delicious, it's delicious!"
"If I could eat this kind of meal once a week, I would be willing to die of exhaustion in Chaoge!"
After the craftsmen finished eating in one go, they touched their bellies and were in the mood to chat.
"In less than a week, you can eat every day, and if you contribute a lot to Chaoge, you can also eat new dishes invented by the Great Chief!"
The female high-ranking is like a demon, tempting these craftsmen.
"The ......"
A young craftsman hesitated, couldn't resist the temptation of food, and said, "Can I eat another bowl!"
"Zhu Feng, shut up!"
Zhu Yu's face became gloomy, you can't be so ignorant, this meal is rare, it must be very expensive, just eat some and taste it, how can you be greedy for food.
"I'm sorry, I lost my words!"
Zhu Feng looked embarrassed.
"It's okay, whoever hasn't eaten enough will go to eat!"
The female high-level took a sip of soup and remembered that she had just eaten these meals, and she was so unproductive: "Although Chaoge is not rich, he will never let his people go hungry!"
"Really?"
Zhu Feng looked happy, and some craftsmen had already taken the dinner plate and ran out like wild dogs.
To be honest, many people are full, but such a good meal, I always want to stuff some more, although the female high-level said it well, but who knows if there is this village or this shop?
"This feast is too rich!"
Zhu Yu sighed: "Let the big chief break the bank!"
"This is not a reception!"
The female executive explained: "It's just an ordinary daily meal!"
"What?"
"That's what you usually eat?"
"My goodness, fake, right?"
The craftsmen looked at the female senior suspiciously, expressing their disbelief, it would be too sinful to eat so well every day, but these words can't be faked, after all, after a few days of eating, you will know it.
"It looks like it's true!"
The craftsmen exchanged glances with each other and decided to give 200 percent of their strength and work hard.
Just when the craftsmen were being influenced by the songs, Xia Ye didn't care about eating and took the lead in inspecting the tribe.
"The Elemental Energy Converter has been built, and the efficiency of absorbing Vitality has been greatly improved, so that every building can be fully operational!"
Elena was introduced with her entourage.
Chaoge's only shortcoming has been filled, and the best vitality tower can ensure that in wartime, when the building is running at super power, the vitality absorbed can keep up with the consumption.
"The Death Rift is also complete, because it is underground, it is not visible at all, but in order to hide, there are only twelve exits, three each in the south, east, west, and west, so when launching a surprise attack and intercepting the enemy, you must choose the right time. ”
Elena reminded.
"Hmm!"
Xia Ye understands that few exits means that the front line is open, and it takes time, and if the timing is not good, it will alarm the enemy and cause the encirclement to not be formed.
"The Tiger and Leopard Riders and Molten Soldiers have been cracked by the Juggernaut Tower, and they have all begun to produce troops, but unfortunately they are all the lowest!"
The two unique war buildings looted from Cao Xuan and Xia Wei have already begun to operate, and Elena called two to come over.
Two-meter-tall, the Tiger and Par Riders are burly and agile enough to fight in a variety of terrains, and their weapons are three-meter-long spears and heavy tomahawks that can be used as hoplites.
"Very cool!"
Woad whistled.
As the name suggests, the Tiger Rider has a tiger's head and limbs, while the tail and torso are the patterns and body of the cheetah.
"Lily, go and test his fighting power!"
Natsuno commanded.
Soon, the two fought together.
The performance of the tiger and leopard ride is very good, the offensive is wide open and close, a tough one, if it were not for Chaoge having a giant spirit god, these tiger and leopard horses can be used as the main force of the attack.
"If only I could get the original!"
Jiaduo has to look at Shu.
"Break the Cao tribe!"
After Xia Ye finished speaking, he found that the female warriors were eager to try, and they didn't have the mentality of 'oops, the enemy is so strong, he can't do it'.
"Let's look at the Molten Soldiers first!"
Elena also summoned a water elemental giant to fight the Molten Soldiers.
As Xia's unique class, Xia Ye is still very familiar with the molten fire soldiers, they themselves are humanoid elemental bodies composed of some stones, when fighting, the body will burn, become red, and between the cracks of the stones, there will be magma flowing, once close, it will continue to be scorched by high temperatures.
Of course, as a fire element, these molten firefighters will be limited by the terrain, and in areas such as rain and wetlands, their combat effectiveness will be weakened to varying degrees.
After seeing the war building, Xia Ye went to the granary, there are so many people in Chaoge now, if you don't eat enough, it will cause a riot.
"The population of our tribe is growing too fast, fortunately, the tribe that plundered Xia Wei, plus the rice accumulated in Peach Blossom Land for so many years, can last for a year, otherwise I will have to implement a food rationing system!"
Elena looked at the sky: "When autumn comes, the grain harvest will be abundant, and we will be able to fight one or two wars!"
"Hmm!"
Xia Ye knows that food will never be enough to eat, especially after the start of the war, manpower transfer, agricultural delays, and enemy border blockades, etc., will lead to a reduction in grain production, if there is no food, do not wait for the war, you will lose first.
With the death of Xia Wei and the capture of Xia Shilian, the people of the Xia clan will definitely come to find out the reason, and they have captured Zhongshan Yin and offended Cao Daoyun, the corps of these two families, it is a matter of time before they attack Chaoge.
"The blacksmith is working overtime, the fire in the blast furnace has never been extinguished, there are enough slaves to mine iron ore at the moment, but there are too few blacksmiths!"
Elena complained.
When it comes to craftsmanship, it is the most difficult to improve, the skills of the craftsmen are not up to standard, and it is not only the iron that is wasted, but also the time, and the current Chaoge needs to change clothes as soon as possible, at least to ensure that the slave also has an iron weapon in his hand, instead of fighting with a wooden stick.
"I brought back more than 400 people this time, and I estimate that half of them can be useful!"
Xia Ye is not qualified to select talents, so as long as the other party comes with him, he wants it.
"What about loyalty?"
Elena is worried about leaks.
"Hehe, Auntie is really joking!"
Elivier held the hilt of the sword: "I entered Chaoge, do you still want to leave?"
The female warriors all laughed.
Xia Ye will not treat these people badly, and the monthly salary will also be sent to their families, but these craftsmen don't want to leave Chaoge for the rest of their lives.
"How's the livestock industry?"
Because of the growing population, the cowshed has long since been moved to the foot of the hill to avoid environmental problems.
"I was going to let the Deer Prophet tell you!"
Elena laughed, looked at Xia Ye, there was curiosity and puzzlement in her eyes, and finally turned into a strong worship: "Your kind of breeding method, the deer prophet has done it, and the chickens really floated out of the kang with fire!"
"Is it true that you don't need a hen to hatch chicks?"
The female warriors who followed Xia Ye to the Acropolis didn't see that scene, so they didn't believe it.
"It's true, it's the first few batches, the mortality rate is relatively high, and when there is a base, the chickens begin to snowball, you don't know, we have built thirty maggot houses. ”
Elena hated maggots, but now, looking at those white and chubby maggots, she wished they were fatter, because the fatter they were, the bigger the chickens were.
"Be sure to pay attention to hygiene, if you find sick chickens or dead chickens, incinerate them immediately!"
Xia Ye solemnly reminded that the growth cycle of chickens is not long, basically three or four months can lay eggs, and it can last for a long time, so once it snowballs, the scale is very easy to expand.
Modern chicken farms have maintained a certain scale, because they have expanded, not necessarily to make money, after all, the price of eggs, subject to market fluctuations, Xia Ye has seen some videos, just hatched chicks, were directly crushed.
However, Chaoge has no such concerns, in the current lack of food and clothing, even if it is a rooster cub, it must be raised to eat meat, even if it is sold cheaply, there will be people rushing to buy it.
"Now Chaoge, egg dishes have begun to appear, and children over ten years old who have entered the reserve corps can replenish an egg every day!"
Elena looked apprehensive.
"Do a good job, let the children be fed, and then ensure the egg ration of the main corps!"
As a modern person, Xia is ambitious and kind-hearted, and always takes too much care of the children, in fact, the most correct thing to do is to put the egg quota on the main corps.
There is no objection to the interracial women, because there are not many school-age children, and most of them are their juniors.
Elena has a lot of experience and manages Asaka in an orderly manner, and after Natsuno is sure that there is nothing wrong, she goes to the small cafeteria to eat.
The three best cooks have done their best to make the Great Chief happy.
"Grilled chicken wings!"
Xia Ye tasted it and shook his head: "I'll cook you a dish tomorrow to make sure you have your tongues down." ”
In the evening, the morning song was brightly lit, and the slaves who had been tired from a tiring day did not go to rest, but gathered in the square to play billiards, play cards, or listen to the storyteller's storytelling, and enjoy a short time of entertainment.
The storyteller's story was changed after Elena heard it from Xia Ye, it is called Journey to the West, even if it is the third time, many people still listen to it well.
No way, there is too little entertainment in this era.
Xia Ye soaked in the hot spring pool, closed his eyes, and thought about his next action, first negotiate with Xia Shilian, and then go to Xia Zhi and their previous successes, collect a wave of taxes, and if they see a good building, they will push the tower and snatch the core.
For now, it is to work hard to accumulate strength and prepare for the destruction of summer.
"Hey, with the current song of the dynasty, I can't beat the Xia family!"
Natsuno sighed.
"I'm sure that day will come soon!"
With a warm voice, a pair of hands placed on Xia Ye's shoulders and gently massaged him.
"You're tired too, go and rest. ”
Xia Ye didn't look back, and he knew that it was Jiaduo.
"Serving you is the best way for me to rest!"
Jiaduo chuckled, ten fingers forced.
