Chapter 52: Glass and coal

Views:

While Zhuang Yu was thinking about how to solve the problem of non-viability of peppers and soybeans, he went to see their cattle and sheep on waterwheels every day.

He is not in a hurry, because these are condiments and food supplements.

Sitting on the back of a big blue fish and looking down every day, there are patches of green grass below, flocks of cattle and sheep all over the mountains and plains, children are driving the cattle and sheep with smiles from ear to ear, adults who have a little time to spare, Just lying on the grass in twos and threes and talking.

The small river next to it is crystal clear, and the water wheel in the river is turning slowly, sprinkling water to the ditch next to it bit by bit. In the distance, you can faintly see the busy crowd drying in the salt fields like thick snowflakes. Salt.

This is Chidi City. It used to be full of yellow sand, but now it is full of vitality. This is his home.

Although people are still wearing worn furs, and although they are still planning how much to eat every day so as not to be hungry and poor in the days to come, all of them have hope and expectations for the future on their faces.

A group of small radish heads seemed to have spotted a big fish in the blue sky, "That's Yun Duo, brother Yu's big fish."

"Brother Yu, we are helping to pick up cow dung cakes, it smells so bad, do you want to come down together?"

A group of little radish heads were picking up cow dung cakes with children from various ministries of Chidi City. The sun was so strong that the cow dung dried up in the sun in a day, but there was actually no smell.

In the ancient times of the earth, there was also the habit of picking up cow dung cakes, especially in the grasslands. Sometimes children would fight for a piece of cow dung cake.

Zhuang Yu laughed, and the voice came from above, "You guys pick it up, remember to take a bath with the mushrooms before coming back."

The little mushroom is standing in front of a cow dung cake and covering its face. The mushroom looks too evil, and it decides to expel the mushroom in front of it from the mushroom membership.

Then he ran to find the next ugly mushroom, and asked the little radishes to pick up all the ugly mushrooms. They were ashamed to be with each other, and they didn't use the beauty of the mushroom family at all.

Zhuang Yu looked at their ditches, and now there are many places where ditches have been dug but no grass has been planted, which is a bit of a waste.

There are much more grasslands than before. In the past, the grasslands were along the river, and now they are, but the area is much larger and the length is also much longer.

If you stand on the ground, you can’t really see the heads of the grass. Because of the bath water of small mushrooms, the grass grows very lush and has more tenacious vitality. Even the heads of radish can’t be trampled to death. , is a very suitable place to play and relax.

Now, children from Chidi City can be seen at any time, chasing and rolling on the grass, laughing like silver bells without interruption.

Zhuang Yu looked at the large empty field, and it was a pity that there was water flowing there, but nothing had been planted. Then he drove the big fish and flew towards the volcano.

Zhuang Yu was observing the lava. This huge lava lake was surrounded by sand dunes, and the sand dunes in contact with the lava emitted light from time to time.

This is because the sand grains are in contact with the high-temperature lava, and the glass is turned, that is, vitrified.

Zhuang Yu's eyes flickered, which showed that the temperature of this lava lake can make sand crystallize.

And the most indispensable thing for their red land is sand, the best sand for making glass.

His idea is very simple, that is to use glass to build a sunshade, which blocks the direct sunlight, and with the bath water of small mushrooms, it should be able to grow peppers and soybeans. In the modern society of the earth, glass houses The awnings made of them are common in large areas.

But now there is a problem. The temperature of the lava lake is too high. Except for Shaohao who has the Eternal Emperor Body, even ordinary giant beast warriors may not be able to approach this lake.

But let Shaohao burn glass for him all the time

Zhuang Yu couldn't help covering his mouth and laughing, his mind was filled with scenes of holding a small leather whip, tied it up, and whipping Shaohao to work.

This is not very realistic, and even if a person burns glass without rest for a day, how much can he burn out? It is not enough at all, he is building a sunshade for the entire Chidi City, and the scale cannot be small.

But if he can't use this lava lake, how can he burn glass

It's a bit troublesome, Zhuang Yu was thinking about this problem while letting the big fish fly to the city.

In Chidi City, there is no fuel that can turn sand into glass.

No, Zhuang Yu suddenly felt that he really had this kind of fuel.

Drought and Ba used fire to use oil, and there was probably a coal seam on top of the oil.

When the time comes to build some fire kilns, it will not be enough to use coal to burn glass. In fact, oil can be refined into fuel, but the refining is a bit complicated. Their current conditions only meet the level that they can be used directly without refining oil. As a fuel, the pollution is too great, and he doesn't want to destroy the oasis he managed to get out.

He remembered that the giant beast of Han and Yan used to live in black water. The so-called black water is the name of oil in this world.

Zhuang Yu's eyes lit up, and he went to Brother Hanba while sitting on the big fish.

Han and Yan are patrolling, "Our giant beasts did live in black water before. It was something we did when we were young. Once we accidentally lost our way in the yellow sand, and we didn't know how we came to a black water. At the lake, we stayed there for three days and three nights before being found by the people from the Huangsha Department. At first we thought we were going to die, but we didn’t expect this giant beast in the Blackwater Lake to protect us all the time. Maybe he thought we were more interesting? In the end The people from the Yellow Sand Department took us away, and this giant beast followed us."

Zhuang Yu: "..."

The opportunity to become a giant beast warrior is really unpredictable. Some people can have their own giant beast just so inexplicably, but some people can't get the favor of the giant beast even if they want to break their heads.

Zhuang Yu said, "Do you still remember where the black water lake is? I want to go to the black water lake you mentioned. Maybe there is something I need."

Han and Yan shook their heads, "I was too young to remember the route at all, but our giant beast should be able to find that place."

Zhuang Yu was overjoyed, he couldn't hold back anymore, and immediately prepared to set off to find the black water lake.

But before setting off, Zhuang Yu found Mrs. Chuncha and asked him to help take care of his group of little radishheads, and then he brought Shaohao, his thug, and of course the big peacock and big fox to avoid danger on the road.

Also, the little mushroom has to be brought, this little guy is having fun with a group of little radish heads now, if he is left behind, with his small mind, he doesn't know how long he will have to toss around.

So Zhuang Yu and the others brought water and food and started on the road. There were only four of them, him, Shaohao, Brother Hanba, and several giant beasts.

Han and Yan were a little puzzled, "What is Shaojun looking for for black water? It's disgusting, it doesn't taste good and you can't drink it, it's useless at all."

Otherwise, it wouldn't be called Heishui.

Zhuang Yu said, "What is most lacking in our Red Emperor City?"

Han and Ba replied, "Food, salt, firewood, no, now we don't lack salt, and we have more food."

These are the three most basic things for survival, but they were all lacking in Scarlet Emperor City before, which shows how hard the days were before.

Zhuang Yu's smile became more obvious, "If there are no accidents, our trip may not be able to solve the problem of lack of firewood in Chidi City."

Han and Yan opened their mouths, the lack of firewood in the desert has always been an unsolvable problem, but when they thought that this was what Zhuang Yu said, they became excited, "Shao... is what Shaojun said true?"

They trembled a little when they spoke, why did they live in such poverty in Chidi City? The biggest problem is the lack of these three things. In the past, we had to add the lack of water.

The water problem was solved by Shaojun before, and the salt, Shaojun also solved it this time when he came back.

And now they have waterwheels, the grassland is expanding, more and more cattle and sheep are grazing, and the food problem is gradually being solved.

Now, Shaojun actually said that they might even solve the problem of lack of firewood, can you not be excited

They are relatively calm like this. They used to be by Shaojun's side. They have seen this kind of thing a lot, and they have seen the big world. They are all so excited. If other people in Chidi City know, they won't stay up all night. cheer.

Zhuang Yu nodded, "Nine out of ten."

Han and Yan clenched their hands tightly, anyone could feel the excitement on their faces, and they looked at Zhuang Yu with uniform eyes.

It is their honor to be born in this era, to be by Shaojun's side, and to watch Chidi City get better and better.

Zhuang Yu started to lift the big fish into the air, and the Hanba brothers stood on their two-headed tar beast and led the way on the ground.

The big peacock is flying around, like a king patrolling the territory, and the big fox is cleaning and blowing the wind and sand in its fur irritably. It can be seen that it is a serious cleanliness.

And Little Mushroom, carrying its small schoolbag, was standing on Shaohao's head, holding its little stick and doing the movements of punching ducks, its little faces facing the wind.

Zhuang Yu was stunned for a moment, did he regard Shaohao as his dragon mount? Shaohao didn't object.

The corner of Zhuang Yu's mouth twitched, and he said to Shaohao, "Have you gotten used to living in Chidi City recently?"

To Zhuang Yu's surprise, Shaohao shook his head solemnly, "Recently, I searched the entire Scarlet Emperor City and its surroundings, but I didn't find a small forest, which is too inconvenient."

Zhuang Yu was stunned, this Xiong Hao, who ran around all day, could he just be... looking for the grove

Zhuang Yu's face was a little red, this raging, couldn't it be possible without the grove... Is the grove really that important

It's really a bird... It's not as good as a beast.

No, Zhuang Yu quickly shook his head, wondering what he was thinking.

Zhuang Yu said, "You have been in Chidi City for so long, have you ever thought about going back to Baidi City?"

Shaohao narrowed his eyes, "What do you mean?"

Zhuang Yu hurriedly said, "It's not interesting, I'm just afraid that you will miss Baidi City."

Shaohao said, "I have to wait for the Red Emperor to come back and clarify the matter, and then I'm going to try planting trees by the river to see if I can grow a small forest."

Why is this guy so obsessed with the wild Z, he doesn't need a good earthen house, he must... must have a grove.

Zhuang Yu's heart trembled, because he was the target of the wild.

Zhuang Yu kept muttering, this raging bear, could it be that the groves are not planted, and they are still living like this

Zhuang Yu shook his head and quickly stopped, why is he so obsessed with these things

Shaohao asked, "Are you alright?"

"It's okay." Zhuang Yu changed the subject, "I don't know if you left Baidi City just like that. What does Baidi City look like now?"

I was a little bit terrified, seeing that he had seduced other young masters and ran away, and he was still reluctant to go back.

Satisfy.

When Zhuang Yu and Shaohao were looking for new "firewood", Baidi City really fell apart.

Because they received the news that their missing young master had a clue, and their family young master ran to Chidi City, and he went there willingly.

Bai Di was so angry that the corners of his mouth were trembling, and the group of leaders didn't know what to say.

But the problem still needs to be solved. A leader stepped forward, "Baidi, what about our marriage with Ruidi City? Our current alliance was established because of the marriage between Shaohao and Ruidi's daughter, but Shaohao He actually went to the Red Emperor City with the Archmage...and the Red Emperor Shaojun."

Baidi was furious when he heard that, he had never seen Shaohao so ignorant of the overall situation before, "Send someone to catch him back for me."

"This… "

Not to mention the endless yellow sand in Chidi, can they pass through it, even if they pass through, can they still arrest people from Chidi City? Even if Ruidi City can't do it without paying a heavy price, it is not for nothing that the unyielding wall of Scarlet Emperor City is called the wall that will never collapse.

The leader said, "The important thing now is how to appease Ruidi City. If the news reaches Ruidi City, the Shaojun will all run away with others. Such a big joke, Ruidi City may..."

Baidi's face was as black as the bottom of the pot, and he thought for a while and said, "Let someone spread the news, saying that Shaohao was hijacked by people from Chidi City..."

As long as this news overwhelms the other news and let everyone know that Shaohao didn't go to Scarlet Emperor City on his own initiative, even if Rui Emperor City came to question after hearing some news, they would have an excuse to deal with it.

It's just that this made Baidi City a little embarrassed, and the majestic Baidi Shaojun was actually hijacked, and this is also a solution to the symptoms rather than the root cause, because one day the truth of the matter will surface.

Really tricky.

In Baidi City, both the little fur hat and the feather head were punished to kneel for two or three months. Even as the son of God of War, he prevented the ancestor beast from chasing Zhuang Yu at the beginning, and finally caused Zhuang Yu to run away, leaving Baidi City behind. It's too shameful, so I have to be punished.

However, they were fined to kneel for three months, and today just ended.

It's not that the two little guys haven't done anything in the past three months, no, the two are walking outside against the package.

They will not stay with a group of bad guys, they will go to Chidi City like Shaojun, and they will run away from home.

For children in the rebellious period, just punishing them without reasoning with them will not work.

If the people of Baidi City knew that not only their young master had gone to Scarlet Emperor City, but now even the two sons of God of War had to run away from home and go to Red Emperor City, what kind of expression would they have

At the same time, the two caravans from Chidi City also arrived at the junction of the three sides of Ruidi in Baidi City, which is usually the place where the three parties conduct large-scale transactions.

The people in Baidi City and Ruidi City all had such expressions on their faces. Look, the people in Scarlet Emperor City couldn't bear it anymore, and came to exchange salt stones with them.

It's a pity that they came in vain. It is impossible to exchange the salt stone for them. They have to realize their mistakes.

However, the caravan in Chidi City was also very strange. They were actually exchanging unwanted things like cuckoo birds with them, and they didn't submit a word about changing salt stones.

The people in Baidi City and Ruidi City sneered in their hearts, and they will give you the Cuckoo Bird if you want it. Anyway, after the exchange of such useless things, let's see how long the other party can endure.

A group of people were waiting to see the jokes about Chidicheng.

Jiaohong and Jiaodu are still a little strange, why are these people so happy, they directly caught the Cuckoo Bird to trade with them, before they had to push back and forth for a long time

Jiao Hong and Jiao both thought about it, and probably understood the reason, with a sneer at the corners of their mouths.

After the thunder monsters were covered with cuckoo birds, they bought some lambs and calves.

Finally bought almost.

People from Baidi City and Ruidi City began to look down on them, and the fun was finally about to begin.

Jiao Hong and Jiao Du walked towards these people with a sneer at the corners of their mouths, "We are here this time, and there is still a big deal about salt..."

Before the words were finished, the people who watched the joke began to get sour, "You mean salt stone? It is impossible to exchange it for you Chidi City."

"You Chidi City don't even look at yourself, you dare to offend our White Emperor City and Ruidi City."

"If you want to change the salt stone, go to another place to change it."

"Aren't you Chidi City very arrogant at the beginning, and now you can't help it anymore, and you know how to beg us in a low voice?"

All the harsh voices sounded, as if trampling the Red Emperor City like this, they could get some kind of satisfaction, as if they were superior to others.

The Red Emperor City will definitely become a joke on the earth this time, and in the end it is not like begging for them.

"Where is the previous enthusiasm? Continue to be proud."

"Aren't you young masters amazing? After injuring Ruidi Qilinzi and burning the eight hundred miles of Baidi City's hunting grounds, he can still escape calmly. Let him continue now."

"Our Emperor Rui said that unless your young master comes here to plead guilty, you will never get a single salt stone."

The corners of Jiao Hong's and Jiao Du's mouths have turned into crescents, so just continue to mock and be proud, your faces will be swollen immediately.

Thinking they didn't know, in order to see the jokes about their Scarlet Emperor City, Ruidi City and White Emperor City had already spread the news, letting the five forces all over the world know about this conflict, and wanted people all over the world to see their Red Emperor How the city bowed its head and was humiliated.

But with their Shaojun around, whoever will become the object of ridicule, just watch.

The people in Baidi City and Ruidi City were happy, flaunting their power, and slapped their faces back. However, no matter how high-spirited Chidi Shaojun is, they will admit their mistakes in embarrassment in the end. They will be the winners in the end.

Let all the forces see how ugly the end of offending them is, this is just the beginning, and the real humiliation will begin when the Red Emperor Shaojun personally admits his mistake.

They are sure that in order to buy the salt stone, the Chidi Shaojun will definitely bow his head like their caravan. What kind of young Wushuang, he has to obediently admit defeat in front of them.

When the sarcasm and mocking voices around were a little bit quieter, Jiaohong and Jiaodu raised their mouths and said, "I'm afraid everyone made a mistake. We are not here to exchange salt stones, but... to sell salt. Salt infinitely better than rock salt."

The voices of the two were not loud, but when the voice came out, the sudden drop of needles could be heard all around.

Did they hear wrong just now? The people from Chidi City just said that they came... to sell salt
