Chapter 130: Hook and sickle
Hundreds of craftsmen came, and since it was already late spring and early summer, they didn't have to worry about where to live, and they were able to build temporary shelters themselves.
However, when they saw Jiang Xingchen's design, they were all dumbfounded. The bath is a good thing, and the water tank is fine with a little effort, but the sewage system is a bit complicated, and they have never heard of what the underground sewage is. Aren't they all gutters.
"Before I came, Commander Mo didn't say that it was so complicated!" The leading craftsmen glanced at each other, and had the heart to refuse, the salary given was really attractive, and they couldn't encounter such a big job in a year or two. If you don't refuse, these craftsmen won't be able to handle it at all.
In the end, they had to negotiate with Jiang Xingchen and talk about the difficulties. Even the drainage ditches on the ground are not a small project to lead out of the valley.
After Jiang Xingchen heard this, he also felt that he was a little too blind. This underground sewage discharge is indeed a problem, although it is only a small village, but the amount of work is huge. Simply diverting sewage out of the valley is more laborious than digging irrigation canals. In addition, there is little water in the valley, and at least two more wells must be opened! If he wants to bring water from the river, he will not have enough money to draw water.
"We have to expand our territory, and there is so little water in the valley that it is not habitable...... Why don't you build the village on that 10,000 acres of wasteland!" This thought flashed, Jiang Xingchen shook his head again, he still has a use for that 10,000 acres of wasteland, and he can't start construction on it for the time being.
"Construction is a bottomless pit, how much money is not enough to burn!" sighed, Jiang Xingchen was ruthless in his heart: "There is a lot of money back, buddy has opened up the whole mountain, you have to bring in water!"
The end result was the construction of above-ground drainage ditches and a large septic tank in a secluded area outside the valley.
Originally, Jiang Xingchen was still whimsical. I want to see if I can have a closed one and stuff out the methane. But after thinking about it, forget it, don't talk about whether it can succeed or not, even if it is done, if that thing explodes...... He couldn't help but shudder.
After discussing with the craftsman, Jiang Xingchen handed over the work here to Han Xiaowu, returned to the room by himself, and began to make a beehive out of wood.
He didn't know the specific structure inside the beehive, and the person who sold wild bees only gave him a rough idea. At that time, I saw those dense bees. And he was defeated.
However, the bellows are layered, and he often sees beekeepers pulling out pieces of hives from the beehives vertically on TV.
In addition, he also tried to make a few of Wangtai's things, using beeswax after the hive has melted. He doesn't know if he can give birth to a king. Just give it a try!
With his craft, making a beehive is not complicated. Leave an exit. A wooden frame was laid inside, and the royal platform was placed on top of the wooden frame.
After the qiē was done, Jiang Xingchen took the little cat girl over the mountain beam and placed the beehive on the hillside behind the river.
The location is well-lit and has a variety of wildflowers that bloom for a long time. Definitely a great place for beekeeping!
After Jiang Xingchen put the beehive, the little cat girl, who had been very curious since she went out, finally couldn't help it and asked, "Brother Xingchen, what are you doing here?"
"Keep bees!" replied Jiang Xingchen.
"Huh?" the little catwoman's eyes widened. Can bees be raised, this is not a beast. The Orc Alliance domesticates beasts like no other in the world, and I never thought that bees could be raised.
"Hehe! If this method is successful, there will be honey to eat...... In my absence, you have to keep an eye on it, this box must not be destroyed by other beasts!" Jiang Xingchen patted the little cat woman on the shoulder.
"Oh! okay!" the little catwoman nodded, looking cute.
After the things at home were roughly arranged, Jiang Xingchen began to prepare for entering the mountain, and prepared a lot of white flour cakes and ham sausages.
Early the next morning, under Mei'er's nagging instructions, Jiang Xingchen, the old man, the second brother, and Zhao Danqing led a group of mercenaries into the vast mountains......
Back on the earth, Jiang Xingchen had never entered the primeval mountains and forests, and the places he traveled to had been developed.
When he really entered the vast mountains, Jiang Xingchen immediately felt different, there was no road under his feet, the trees above his head covered the sky and the sun, he couldn't see the sun at all, and he couldn't tell the direction!
With more than 20 mercenaries around him, as well as the super master of the old man, Jiang Xingchen didn't have much worry and vigilance, but looked left and right with high interest, showing a strong interest in each plant, and kept asking the old man questions.
On the contrary, the mercenaries were completely different, everyone was in a hurry, as if they were going to explode at any moment. Even the second brother, the fourth brother, and Zhao Danqing were extremely strict, which made Jiang Xingchen think that they had changed their personalities.
In order to take care of Jiang Xingchen, the mercenaries did not walk very fast, and it took them half a day to climb a mountain. But that's it, Jiang Xingchen was already so tired that he was panting.
To say that his current body is definitely much stronger than in the previous life, but he can't stand this is a primeval mountain forest, even if someone from the mercenary group opens the way for him, it will be extremely difficult to walk.
At this time, his freshness had been exhausted, and his interest had been smoothed out, leaving him with only gasping for air.
However, Jiang Xingchen is very strong in his bones, and he has always followed the mercenaries and has never asked for rest. Moreover, he did not forget his original intention, and was still observing the plants around him and asking the old man.
"It's called a green tree, and its leaves can reduce swelling. This is the ground white fruit, and his rhizome can be laxative. This is...... It looks like a rape flower......"
Zhao Danqing, the second brother, they have been paying attention to Jiang Xingchen, after all, he has not cultivated in his body, and he has never entered the mountain, thinking that he will not last long. But they really didn't expect that Jiang Xingchen insisted on not shouting tired for most of the day, which surprised them.
"This kid, you really want it!" The old man walked behind Jiang Xingchen and nodded slightly appreciatively.
"Okay, there's a stream ahead, let's rest!" Zhao Danqing spoke, as the leader of the Iron Sword Mercenary Group, he was more suitable than the second brother to act as a leader at this time.
Jiang Xingchen let out a long breath and stood still, only then did he hear the faint sound of running water in front of him.
After walking forward for another hundred and ten meters, a small stream appeared in sight, and there were flat gravel banks on both sides. There are also a lot fewer trees.
Everyone came to the flat place and sat down, the members of the group had a hot meal, Jiang Xingchen was very tired all the way, no one let him do it, even Zhao Danqing couldn't help it.
"I've been walking for so long, I'm almost in the deep mountains!" Jiang Xingchen asked, his vision was blocked, his sense of direction disappeared, he didn't even notice that he had crossed a mountain, and he thought that he had reached the deep mountain.
"Hahahaha......" A group of big men laughed: "Lord Jiang." Not to mention the deep mountains, this is not even the periphery of the vast mountains, it is the edge of the edge!"
"Brother, don't you know that you just climbed a mountain now...... If we hadn't waited for you, we would have climbed over five or six mountains!" Zhao Danqing also laughed.
Looking at a bunch of laughing men. The corners of Jiang Xingchen's mouth twitched, and he slandered in his heart: "Won't you guys explain it well?" I'll die if I don't hit me, right?"
"Cut! Dude, it's brainpower. I don't know you martial artists in general!" Jiang Xingchen pursed his lips, but fortunately turned his head away and ignored these two people.
"Huh, this plant is so strange!" Jiang Xingchen turned his head for a moment and saw a strange plant, huge white flowers, and the leaves were like sickles. The long rod is curved and has a spike-like tip.
"Old man, what is this?" Jiang Xingchen asked as he got up and walked over.
"Don't touch that thing, boy!" the old man asked. When he raised his head, he saw Jiang Xingchen's movements, and immediately shouted, and one dodged over and grabbed Jiang Xingchen's arm.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Xingchen asked in surprise, his expression a little puzzled.
And at the same time, Zhao Danqing, the second brother, and the fourth brother also stood up suddenly, with solemn expressions.
"That thing is called a hook sickle, it's poisonous, and if you get stabbed, it's miserable!"
"I'm the next Olympics!" Jiang Xingchen shuddered, and a layer of cold sweat suddenly broke out on his back.
Then he watched as the fourth child took a knife from behind him, walked to the side of the hook sickle, and slashed off the spikes at the top of the leaf with a single knife, and a pale yellow liquid gushed out of the section like running water.
The fourth child immediately took out a small pottery bottle and filled it with a pale yellow liquid.
"What are you collecting all this poison for...... Oh! I see, it must be sold to pharmacies and can be used for medicine!" Jiang Xingchen was slightly puzzled, and suddenly realized that although poison can poison people, it can also save people, and there were many people who raised poisonous snakes in the previous life.
The old man seemed to see his doubts, and said, "This thing is used to make spices!"
"Uh!" Jiang Xingchen was suddenly a little confused, it turned out that he wanted to screw it completely, this thing was not used to cure diseases at all...... But how can this thing have anything to do with making spices, aren't you afraid of poisoning people?
"The poison of the Gouxile is only a little at the tip, and if you remove it, you will be fine! The liquid of this Gousickle is the main ingredient for making high-end luxury spices, and a small bottle can sell for 10,000 citrine coins in the Moon Shadow Kingdom!" the old man explained.
"So much!" Jiang Xingchen was dumbfounded, this money was too easy to make, and his secret recipe for removing the smell of meat at that time was only sold to major restaurants for 10,000 citrine coins. This strain of Gou's sickle must not contain at least three vials, which is 30,000 citrine coins.
"If you're lucky enough to come across one today, you'll be able to come across one! Over the years, the scythes on the edge of the vast mountains have almost been exhausted! Once the tip of this thing is broken, it will soon die!" the second brother said on the side.
"Is this so?" Jiang Xingchen nodded and asked, "Is there no one who usually grows such a money-making thing?"
"Why not, such a valuable thing, of course it's good to be able to grow it, but it can't be planted at all!" Zhao Danqing said.
As he spoke, the scythe had begun to wither, and it quickly collapsed, and the white flower fell off and fell to the ground. (To be continued......)
