Chapter 47: Make sea salt

Views:

The dam in front of me is exaggerated to the extreme, with a height of hundreds of meters.

The splash of water flying down is like an upside-down galaxy.

A group of little radish heads had already run down the waterfall screaming.

The little mushroom is taking off its little sweater while running, its big bathtub, the little mushroom is here.

Zhuang Yu didn't stop it. There are several dams in front of this dam. This is the last one, and it is the most downstream. The water here is used for irrigation.

At the beginning, not only the people of Red Emperor City, but also the behemoths of Red Emperor City participated in the construction of this heaven-defying project, so there was this spectacular scene.

Zhuang Yu and the others are now going up the river below the waterfall. Along the way, they encountered many tribesmen who were driving cattle and sheep, or carrying water for irrigation.

The clansmen would stop what they were doing and shout loudly with a smile on their faces, "Young Master, you're back."

Cheerful and simple, many of these people are not giant beast warriors, but they have a simple and sincere heart.

Although it is not as rich as Baidi City, and the environment is not as good, but Zhuang Yu is full of freedom.

Up the river, the water is most abundant, so the green grass grows best along the way.

Little Mushroom and a group of children have already run into the river to play, and they are full of cheerful voices. They haven't played in the water like this for almost two months.

He also kept calling Zhuang Yu and Shaohao to come down to play together, and while yelling, he went to the waterfall, and was rushed out by the rapids, laughing haha.

In addition to this group of children, there are actually some children from Scarlet Emperor City. This is their favorite place.

During the hot day, these children like to come here to play. Because the dam is a drinking water area and the water stored is deep, they will not be allowed to play.

A group of children opened their mouths and called Shaojun loudly.

Zhuang Yu smiled, then looked at Shaohao with his head raised, "How about it, this is also my masterpiece, is it better than those water wells in Baidi City?"

Shaohao was a little speechless, what he saw was like a miracle.

This is Chidi.

Zhuang Yu said, "We used the strength of the whole family to bring this water from the sea of Beiming. It took three years. At that time, there were no taboos when encountering mountains and opening mountains. It was a big project, right?"

The North Sea of Darkness is said to be the end of the world, with no end in sight.

After finishing speaking, he continued, "The water in the North Sea is salty and bitter, and it cannot be used as drinking water at all, so we built a series of dams and filtered it again and again, and when it flows here, it becomes our current water. Edible water."

The project is so vast that even Zhuang Yu's eyes are bright when he talks about it.

Shaohao looked at Zhuang Yu at this moment, as if he could see stars in Zhuang Yu's eyes.

Then the corners of his mouth turned up, Yu was his.

Zhuang Yu led Shaohao up again to see his dikes, which are the filtration systems.

This is definitely the largest man-made project in Chidi.

A group of little radish heads also climbed up from the river and chased after them. The little mushroom held up its wet little sweater, and its calves ran fast. He liked his new bathtub so much, it was bigger than the pond in Tongshan.

"Brother Yu, this place is awesome, let's come and play in the water every day from now on."

"There are a lot of kids there."

A group of little radish heads blushed with excitement. It turned out that this place was not bad. It turned out that they thought that after entering the yellow sand, they would look the same.

The oasis in the desert is the most unforgettable.

A group of people began to walk up, and it became much quieter, but there were also many people from the tribe fetching water.

The water surface is like huge reservoirs separated by dikes.

The higher you go, the saltier the water becomes.

After walking for a while, Zhuang Yu said, "Further up, there will be water monsters in the water."

The eyes of a group of little radish heads lit up instead, and they touched the crossbow on their arms, "Water monster?"

It's a pity that they are running out of arrows, and some even have empty skin pouches around their waists. They were all consumed in Baidi City last time, and they didn't have time to get them back.

Zhuang Yu thought for a while, but actually it’s okay to go and have a look, as long as it’s not near the water, the water monsters won’t climb ashore and hurt people. This is within the range of Chidi City, and with the coercion of the ancestor beasts, they dare not come out of the water.

A group of little radish heads also know the danger in the water, even the little mushroom knows it, it once lived in the mountains by itself.

Look into the water from a distance.

On the contrary, Zhuang Yu was stunned for a moment. He actually saw several large crabs crawling to the shore. This kind of small animal is not a water monster, but can't feel the coercion of the ancestor beast. It is probably because the mind is too simple and stupid Alright.

Zhuang Yu was excited when he saw several big crabs, seafood, and he saw that one crab weighed five or six catties. There are thousands of such big crabs on the earth, and he couldn't afford it.

Zhuang Yu took out his bamboo flute and watched him make these crabs fall into the trap.

As a result, Shaohao went straight up, and walked back with two crabs in one hand, muttering, "There's no meat."

But he forgot that Shaohao can make the water monsters in the water retreat when he pumps his qi and blood.

Zhuang Yu salivated when he looked at the big crab, he said it had no meat, but it was delicious, and it was freshly caught.

When Zhuang Yu left Chidi City last time, he hadn't seen these things yet. It is estimated that the creatures in the Beiming Sea drifted here one after another with the current.

Zhuang Yu decided that he would bring Shaohao here every day to grab some seafood to eat. Although he could make these crabs crawl towards him automatically by himself, such useful labor was not in vain.

A group of radish heads have already discussed around the two crabs, "It looks so ugly, I don't know what it tastes like."

"Barbecue smell? I guess it smells like Cuckoo Bird."

The little mushroom even took a small stick to poke the crab boldly. It was so ugly that the mushroom boy was afraid that he would not be able to bite.

Zhuang Yu and the others walked a little further, allowing Shaohao to catch several more.

A group of radish heads began to help move the crabs, and secretly licked them, "Why is it salty?"

Taking a group of people to visit their largest project in Chidi City, and catching so much seafood, Zhuang Yu was also satisfied.

When I returned to my residence, I threw the crabs directly into the yard and crawled around.

Zhuang Yu had never been so active before. He started to boil water, and he decided to steam all the crabs. Steamed crabs taste the best without adding anything.

Although Zhuang Yu is a young monarch, there are classes in this era, but they are all very primitive and simple class relations. It is normal to cook food by yourself in normal times. Only those big activities will be in charge of special clan members.

Shaohao originally wanted to say that if there is no meat, it must not taste good, but after thinking about the lessons learned from the past, forget it.

When the crabs were steamed out one by one, a group of people gathered around to eat taking advantage of the heat.

Zhuang Yu couldn't wait to take a bite, oh my god, this is the enjoyment, the meat is so tender and fragrant, and there is a lot of crab paste and crab roe.

Mouth full of the taste of seafood.

A group of radish heads also ate their tongues, "It actually has its own taste."

"The meat is so tender and smooth."

"It's a taste I've never tasted before, but it's delicious."

Shaohao was stunned after taking a bite. He just saw how Zhuang Yu cooked it, but he didn’t expect it to be so delicious after a simple cooking. Isn’t the Sea of Darkness called the forbidden area of life? The powerful water monster is probably amazing , I didn't expect it to be such a good thing.

This is simply the most natural ingredient, the method is simple, but the taste is particularly delicious, no wonder Yu's eyes are shining all the way.

The only downside is that there is very little meat.

But it's just an extra meal after their meal, which is not bad.

After eating the crabs one by one, a group of radish heads arranged, "We will catch this crab every day from now on, it's so delicious."

Little Mushroom also nodded vigorously, Mushroom boy ate a lot just now, look at Mushroom boy's little belly, it's so bulging.

At this time, Shaohao suddenly approached Zhuang Yu, and said solemnly, "I will take you to catch crabs tomorrow."

Zhuang Yu: "..."

Bah, what does it mean to take him? Obviously they went to catch them together.

However, Zhuang Yu was delighted that Shaohao could actually seduce others, so was this the feeling of being teased

Zhuang Yu said, "Tomorrow I will show you how I catch crabs by playing the bamboo flute."

Shaohao was serious, "I will hunt in the future, just cook for me at home, and I will support you."

Zhuang Yu: "..."

Damn, why do you feel a little flirtatious? But Shaohao looked serious no matter how he looked at it.

This Xiong Hao, with a muffled voice, didn't expect to have two tricks, so he must be a master, right

After tidying up things, a group of little carrot heads and Shaohao's room had already been cleaned up, and Zhuang Yu took them to have a look.

Because we live in the same yard, it's only a few steps away.

The little radish heads fumbled around in the house. They used to live in caves and had never lived in such an earthen house. "It's a pity that there are not even trees around, otherwise we can make wooden floors, which are smooth and slippery."

Zhuang Yu thought about it, there is no way to make the wooden floor, but it is not impossible to modify it.

He is still very different from a year ago. That dream has been completely integrated into his memory, and he can't even be said to be integrated. Now he doesn't know whether he has passed through this body or if it is just a dream. .

It's a very subtle feeling, the feeling that I am the butterfly and the butterfly is me.

With the memory of the civilization in the dream, many things can be used. There are too many areas for improvement in the current Red Emperor City. The first thing is to improve the living standards of the people in Red Emperor City.

Just as she was thinking, Aunt Chun Tu, who was as tall as a bucket, walked into the yard, "Young Master, everyone is going to hold a welcome party for you tonight. You have been out for more than a year, and everyone misses you very much."

Zhuang Yu thought for a while, then shook his head, "Let everyone do whatever they need to do, I'll go and see them."

He knows the life of Chidi City best, and he can barely support himself to eat enough. After all, the environmental conditions are here. It is a compliment to say that the land is barren. It is simply barren. If there is any large-scale welcome party, it must Knowing how to kill sheep and cattle, I am happy today, but I will have to tighten my belt in the future.

To put it bluntly, Chidi City is still too poor.

As soon as Zhuang Yu's words fell, Aunt Chuntu said, "How can this be possible? Everyone is looking forward to the young master's return."

Zhuang Yu smiled, "When I came back, the entire Chidi City was covered in fireballs. I guess everyone knows the news, so that's all."

Aunt Chun Tu was still a little unwilling, "I heard that other young masters are great every time they go out or return to the battle. How can our young master in Chidi be compared to others."

Anyway, what other young masters have, their young masters have to have them too, and it's even better, so you can't suffer at all.

Zhuang Yu thought to himself, if Chidi City is as rich as other places, it's all right, it's not because he can't break the rhythm of life of the clansmen.

Said, "Ms. Chuntu, you are wrong. The young masters in other places are not as ostentatious as I am. How can there be fireballs in the sky before entering the city? If you say it, you can't envy the young masters in other places. If you don't believe me, ask him."

Zhuang Yu pointed to Shaohao, "He is the young master of Baidi City, and they don't have such power in Baidi City."

Aunt Chuntu was taken aback for a moment, and then she couldn't close her mouth, "Could it be the one who has a marriage contract with Shaojun?"

what's the situation? No matter how Shaojun brought everyone back, he didn't say a word, anyway, their Chidi couldn't lose their momentum.

Zhuang Yu chuckled, "It's gone now, by the way, I almost forgot to tell everyone that my engagement with the young master of Baidi City has been broken."

The Red Emperor City also has a special message system, but Zhuang Yu and the others came back riding the colorful Buddha mother and the big fish, which was much faster than the average giant beast. It may take a few days for the spies from the Red Emperor City to send back the news.

Aunt Chun Tu was dumbfounded.

The engagement is broken? Why did that person come back together? Why can't she understand it.

Zhuang Yu pulled Mrs. Chuntu aside and whispered.

Aunt Chuntu was startled when she heard this, her expression on her face was unpredictable, "The white-eyed wolves in Baidi City, it doesn't matter if the engagement is broken, Young Master should have taken me with me in the first place, and see if I don't punch them You don't even know the fuck."

Shaohao was embarrassed, but he also probably knew what kind of person Zhuang Yu looked like when he made a fool of himself.

Aunt Chun Tu's face was full of indignation, "Young Master has suffered too much outside this year, and you have been bullied to the top of your head. It's true that we have no one in the world. In my opinion, we are now Let all the people fight to the gate of their city to seek justice."

Shaohao: "..."

Zhuang Yu said, "It's okay, I can let him have a good life when he bullies me? That Qilin son of Ruidi was almost caught in two by my colorful Buddha mother, and now I don't know if he is dead or not. As for Baidi City, When I left, I burned its 800-mile hunting grounds, and they didn’t necessarily get much of a deal.”

Aunt Chuntu said fiercely, "That's the way it is. Our Young Master is the one we hold dear, so how can we be bullied by them? In my opinion, it is not enough to burn eight hundred miles, but we have to burn him for thousands of miles. Han and Yan are unreliable in their work, and as for the Qilin son of Ruidi, it's his fate not to catch him."

This offended Baidi City and Ruidi City to the death, but in the eyes of Aunt Chuntu, these are not a big deal. If you dare to bully their young master, you have to be beaten on the ground until you can never get up. It may not be enough, and I have to kick a few times hard to relieve my anger.

Aunt Chuntu glanced at Shaohao, and said strangely, "Then what happened to him?"

Although she was angry, she also knew that Baidi City had broken with their Chidi City. Why shouldn't the young master of Baidi City appear here

Zhuang Yu was embarrassed, and said secretly, "Aren't I angry with Baidi City? That's why I abducted their young master."

Aunt Chuntu: "..."

So they broke with Baidi City, and also abducted his young master

She just knew that their Shaojun was not the only one who was willing to suffer, "I will tell everyone about these things, Shaojun, you can watch people, don't let them run away."

Zhuang Yu touched his nose, "Don't worry, I can't run away."

Let him run now, he won't run, he wants to go to the grove every day, but it's a pity that they don't have a grove for him to drill in.

Zhuang Yu persuaded him for a while, don't hold any welcome party with great fanfare just because he came back, Aunt Chuntu reluctantly left, just like how much their young master suffered.

The news revealed by Zhuang Yu, she should let the people in the clan know more quickly. If there is no accident, this matter may not be so easy to finish, especially Rui Di, who cares about face, his son was almost beaten to death. To take some action, they have to prepare early.

Shaohao approached Zhuang Yu, "Don't think I didn't hear what you said just now."

Zhuang Yu: "... Well, the weather is really nice today."

Damn, this man's ears are so good that he deliberately lowered his voice.

Shaohao said, "But it doesn't matter, I have to come to Chidi anyway, when will you take me to see Chidi?"

Zhuang Yu: "... my father has gone to the Qinghu Zhan Clan, and he won't be able to come back for a while."

He can guess what Shaohao is going to say, it's not that he doesn't want to settle down with Shaohao directly, Shaohao is handsome, easy to get along with, and strong, the key is that he is too strong, once they settle down, they will Well, with his thin body, he was a little scared.

Hey, finding a man who is too strong is also frightening.

Zhuang Yu blushed and ran away, and went to see their house with a group of little radish heads. He found that when he saw Shaohao recently, he always thought of some pictures that made people blush.

I patted my face to make you sway, and I am not afraid of crying and calling my mother and embarrassment when the time comes.

After watching the house, Little Mushroom invited everyone to eat pears again. The big pear tree in the yard looked very weird in Chidi City, because it was too abrupt, and there were no trees around Chidi City, let alone this pear tree Also really taller.

Because the Chidi City is not on the back of the ancestor beast, the roads are quite wide, and even giant beasts can walk in the city.

So this is a city where people and giant beasts live at the same time. If you see a giant beast at the door of someone else's house, don't panic at all, it belongs to that house.

Zhuang Yu’s yard is so big, it was planned to be reserved for giant beasts to rest in the past, but neither the big peacock nor the big fox liked it very much, because it was still too small for them, and now they don’t know where to go I guess it was hunting in the desert for food, and I had to use a bamboo flute to summon them back, but the big fish kept floating in the sky, pretending that it was a blue cloud.

Zhuang Yu arranged for a group of people to rest, and he himself began to rest.

Zhuang Yu fell asleep straight away lying on the bed. After nearly two months of non-stop driving, everyone was actually very tired. Once the excitement of returning to Chidi City was over, all the fatigue came out.

A group of radish heads are probably similar, but their feet are all worn out.

The whole yard seemed to be quiet.

After a good night's sleep, it was the next day when I woke up. Mrs. Chuntu came here several times, but she didn't bother her. Looking at Zhuang Yu who was sleeping so deeply, Mrs. Chuntu's heart ached. How tiring.

When Zhuang Yu woke up, he could smell the smell of food. Mrs. Chuntu was roasting meat for them, specially slaughtered sheep.

The person Zhuang Yu brought back was a guest of Chidi Emperor City, so how could he be negligent.

A group of little radish heads were in good spirits, blushing around the barbecue area, "Ma'am, this needs to be sprinkled with salt, brother Yu used to bake it like this, it's delicious."

Zhuang Yu didn't know how to make salt before, so the Red Emperor City still used salt stones.

The little mushroom was also gesturing around there, and had to torture it with devil fruit, the more tortured the better.

Speaking of salt, Aunt Chun Tu, who was still cheerful just now, changed her expression and said fiercely, "Just now, someone from our caravan sent back news that Baidi City and Ruidi City suddenly stopped selling salt stones to us. They don’t do big business, they have no vision.”

The environment of Chidi City is harsh, no caravan is willing to come, and all the caravans of Chidi City run out.

And the salt stone is one of the main targets of the caravan.

They bordered Ruidi City, Baidi City, and the salt stones were traded from these two forces in the past.

Zhuang Yu was taken aback, did revenge come

Is this the salt stone that wants to block them

It seemed that even if he returned to Chidi, things would not be so simple. After all, a monk could not escape the temple if he could escape.

Zhuang Yu walked over and asked Aunt Chun Tu, "What's the matter with the caravan?"

Aunt Chun Tu was taken aback, "This..."

When Zhuang Yu saw it, he probably knew what was going on. He should have offended Baidi City and Ruidi City to death. If the two parties unite, if they don't exchange salt, it's probably a joke.

Aunt Chun Tu would not say that it was their young master who made them unable to exchange salt in Chidi City, so she hesitated for a while, and then said, "Our Chidi City needs a lot of salt stones. If they don't exchange them, they will suffer. I thought I didn’t know, every time the salt stones they exchanged for us were more expensive than others, we can only exchange half of others’ salt stones for the same material, this is bullying that we have no salt stone production area in Chidi City, we have to rely on them.”

That being said, what if they can't get the salt exchanged? They have a good relationship with Xuandi City, but they don't share a border, and the journey is too far away. Otherwise, they wouldn't have accepted such harsh and unfair salt exchange conditions before.

Zhuang Yu laughed, they had a good plan, but...

Zhuang Yu said, "It is indeed their loss. In the past, we exchanged a lot of good things from our Red Emperor City every year."

Then he continued, "Notify the caravan that all the materials they brought out will be replaced with other useful things. There is no need to change the salt. As for the salt, I will take care of it."

Aunt Chuntu was taken aback, that was the salt needed by the entire Chidi tribe, where could Shaojun get it? But Shaojun has never been a big talker, so she has to tell the elders and the leaders of the ministries immediately.

Although Shaojun just said it casually, it is a major matter related to the entire Chidi City. If they really don't need to exchange salt with Baidi City and Ruidi City, they don't have to continue to suffer from that anger in the future.

As for Zhuang Yu, his eyes were already looking in the direction of the dam, and the huge project could be seen from a long distance away.

The corners of Zhuang Yu's mouth turned upwards. In fact, this huge project has not been fully utilized. For example... sea salt is higher than the salt produced by salt stones. After all, salt stones have to be ground into powder and then mixed with water to be dried. , time-consuming and labor-intensive, requiring too much manpower.

Zhuang Yu looked at the dam in the distance, and smiled in his heart, why don't you give them salt? Want to see jokes about Red Emperor City

Let them regret it.
