Infrastructure Frenzy

Chapter 66: Stone arch bridge and fish

Views:

Zhuang Yu now wants to engage in urban construction. If such a large-scale infrastructure construction is on the earth, it would take many years just to plan.

But now it is different, here he can call the shots.

A group of little radish heads are also gearing up, it's time for them to show their talents.

They went to the Guiliu clan to borrow a hoe, and a group of little radishheads ran outside each resisting a hoe, even the twins, Yushifenghou, the little leather hat featherheads, were no exception.

Zhuang Yu's city plans all centered on the moat. With the water in the moat, his grassland, berry trees, and flower beds can be planted.

So, first of all, they have to dig out the moat.

A group of small radish heads, bent over and digging the ground with hoes.

It's just that, just these little radish heads, at their speed, they want to dig a river around the entire Chidi City. I don't know how long it will take to dig.

However, these little radishheads believed that Zhuang Yu said that they could dig well if they could, so they dug one hoe at a time, wiping the sweat from their foreheads while digging.

The scorching sun, in the middle of the desert, a group of children digging ditches, looked quite inspiring.

However, at this time, a burst of "quack" laughter came.

The little carrot heads were taken aback, who dared to laugh at them

When he looked up, his mouth could not be closed.

I saw the little mushroom with its hips akimbo laughing, and at the foot of the little mushroom was a huge pear tree.

This pear tree, fertilized by the little mushrooms every day, is now very different from before. The trunk must be surrounded by a few children to hold it.

Not to mention the towering green leaves, which look very lush, and now the yard they live in doesn't have to worry about being exposed to the sun at all, because the sun's rays are completely blocked by this pear tree.

This pear tree is so big that even the big peacock made a nest on it. Now the big peacock rests on the pear tree braggingly every day.

Of course, the pear tree didn't allow the big peacock to make a nest on it at first, but after some "heart-to-heart talks", the big pear tree agreed.

It is very shocking that such a towering tree appeared in the desert.

If it hadn't been for it standing in Zhuang Yu's yard, many people would have come to watch it.

Now, such a big pear tree rose from the ground and walked outside the Red Emperor City, which also caused a sensation in the entire Red Emperor City.

There are also many types of giant beasts in the red land, but this is the first time I have seen such a huge green tree-like monster.

So behind the big tree came a group of bosses, who came to see the excitement, and they were not afraid, because this tree was in their Shaojun's yard, and they could usually see it, but it was not on the ground like it is now. go up.

The little mushroom is majestic, its nostrils are facing the sky, have you seen it, the mushroom boy also has giant beasts, let's see who will dare to bully the mushroom boy in the future.

The pear tree is not what it used to be now, the roots pulled out from the ground are huge and strong, and the tentacles look incredible.

Little Mushroom waved his small hand, get out of the way, Mushroom Boy's super excavator is here.

Zhuang Yu was also standing on the pear tree. To be honest, this pear tree is simply a super city construction machine. With it, I don't know how many things can be saved.

Little Mushroom looked at a group of radish heads digging for a long time, and then dug a small hole. He was extremely proud, and let you see how powerful its big pear tree is.

The little mushroom let a group of little radish heads get out of the way, but the group of little radish heads saw the big pear tree running out. Zhuang Yu and the little mushroom were still standing on the big pear tree. Run around, not afraid at all.

"Pear tree, pear tree, let us climb up too."

A group of small radish heads kicked their legs, hugged the big pear tree and began to climb up.

A group of children hung from a big pear tree, followed by a large group of onlookers, and the scene was not ordinary.

The little mushroom is also very generous, allowing a group of little carrot heads to climb up.

A giant pear tree, Kazuki's child, chattered, but soon turned into screaming.

Because the big pear tree put its roots deep into the ground, and then started to move forward, and the sand began to roll around.

It is exactly the same as large-scale mechanical operations, even worse.

A group of little radish heads watched them dig the ground that they hadn't dug for a long time, but when the big pear tree passed by, a big hole appeared all the way, and they screamed with joy and excitement.

"Baby Lishu is too powerful."

"From now on, we will water the big baby pear tree every day."

The little mushroom is so frightened that it can't even see its nostrils now, because its head is raised too high, and its nostrils have gone to the back.

The people who watched the excitement behind were also surprised, "This giant beast is really good."

"No, it took us so long to dig the dam before. If there is this giant beast, I don't know how much time can be saved."

A huge pear tree was cultivated in the desert, and the land it passed was flying sand and rocks, leaving a huge hole behind it.

The little radish heads sat on the tree branches, very leisurely, their little feet dangling.

There are still a lot of big pears on the pear tree, which are already ripe.

Zhuang Yu didn't let the little radishheads idle, and let them start picking pears, otherwise they would fall to the ground and spoil.

The little mushrooms are also generous, and you can eat whatever you want with a wave of your hand.

In fact, the main reason is that it can't finish it by itself. A big pear can last for many days, but it's rare for it to be generous when the pear is about to go bad.

The little radish heads picked the pears and threw them to the crowd watching the excitement behind the pear tree. Such a big pear tree bore too many pears, and they couldn't finish them.

Zhuang Yu smiled, berries are almost non-existent in the desert, let the people of Chidi City taste what they taste.

Later, he planted some berry trees on both sides of the moat, so that everyone could eat them.

The clansmen who picked up the pears below were also sharing and eating with each other, and then their eyes narrowed, "Is this a berry? It's so sweet."

"I heard from my grandfather that he had eaten berries when he walked out of Chidi before. Does not produce berries."

Although there are many pears on the big pear tree, it is impossible to satisfy the needs of Chidicheng. If one person eats a little, most people will not be able to try it.

However, the atmosphere was very different, happy and satisfied.

Zhuang Yu couldn't help laughing, other people's construction is very boring, so it's not as lively as theirs.

The laughter of children and the discussion of adults never stopped.

Zhuang Yu looked at the clansman who was eating a little pear, and smiled and raised his eyebrows, "In the future, everyone in our Chidi City will be able to eat berries, because now, we are preparing to plant berries."

As soon as the voice fell, there was an uproar.

Growing berries? Growing berries in the desert

My goodness, this is completely unthinkable.

However, their young master will definitely be able to do it.

In the past, some people dared to say that green grass was planted in their bare land

But their young master did it, and now there is a large expanse of green grass outside their Scarlet Emperor City, which is sacred and inconceivable, and they are still used to looking at the grass and the cattle and sheep on the grass every day.

Moreover, after their young master got out the gleaming sun visor, he also planted green plants other than green grass.

They just went to see it, and it was knee-high.

Moreover, the plants called devil fruit by people outside have all begun to bear fruit, and there is also a kind of yellow bean, which has also begun to bear fruit.

It has been a while since Zhuang Yu planted peppers, soybeans, garlic, Chinese prickly ash, and fragrant leaves. With the addition of the bath water for the small mushrooms used for irrigation, they have grown very well now.

Today's awnings are also in pieces, which look very spectacular.

Thinking that they could actually eat berries in the future, the excited voice almost spread throughout the entire Red Emperor City.

Soon after hearing the news, more and more people watched the excitement.

Such a large-scale construction with great fanfare actually requires a lot of people, but each department of Chidi City now has its own affairs, and each performs its own duties, so it may not be possible to spare many people.

Zhuang Yu thought for a while, and it happened that these people who stayed behind in Chidi City were free, so they could mobilize.

Standing on the pear tree, Zhuang Yu said loudly, "I'm going to dig a moat now, in order to bring water in and circle around our Chidi City, so that we can plant berry trees around the city. lock up."

These people may not know what a moat is, but when they think of planting a circle of berry trees around Chidi City, oh my god, their Chidi City is so big, it would be so spectacular if they planted a circle of trees around it.

Zhuang Yu continued, "Did you see the sand on both sides of the ditch? If you have time, help transport the sand out."

Many of these clansmen came back temporarily to rest, and they were likely to leave Chidi City to continue their missions in the next moment.

There are also less fixed hours when they can help.

However, as soon as Zhuang Yu's words fell, a group of people shouted, "Where is the young master, the construction of the Chidi City is our business, even if we don't have time, we can still find time."

Pick up your arms and start working, as much as you can do, anyway, when they go out to work, another batch of people will come back, and then they will continue to work.

The clansmen also started this big construction. Although they sacrificed their rest time, the excitement of building their homeland made them not feel tired at all.

Many people even remembered how they built the dam in the past. It took them three years to build the dam with the strength of their entire family in Chidi City. The scene is still fresh in their memory.

In the Chidi City back then, it was really time to run out of water, and everything was put down, just to draw the water from the North Sea of Darkness into the Chidi.

The situation is different now, all the tribes have missions, and it is impossible to act like before, in the whole Red Emperor City, because it is impossible to leave the matter at hand.

This is why Zhuang Yu is not afraid of other forces discovering the existence of their dam at all, because even if they find out, can the other four major forces use the power of the whole family to build a dam in three years? There is not enough manpower in the small tribe, so there is no need to think about it.

This is impossible. The construction of this dam in the first place was also a glimmer of life for Chidi City when it was desperate.

If they don't build a dam, they won't be able to produce sea salt. Let them go to the sea of Beiming to dry salt

Then they have to have such a great life. The North Sea is called the restricted area of life, not because there is no life in it, but because the things inside are so terrifying that humans on land cannot approach it for a long time.

Zhuang Yu thought for a while, and then assigned some people to move volcanic rocks, that is, to make rocks on volcanoes like Yantian.

For the moat, it is impossible to dig a ditch, and rocks must be paved on both sides.

One is to prevent water leakage, and the other is to prevent collapse. After all, if the two sides of the strait are dominated by sand and soil, they will not be so strong and easy to collapse, and maintenance will be time-consuming and labor-intensive.

The third is the beauty. The river bank piled up with stones and the fruit trees along the way are so beautiful.

Zhuang Yu also jumped off the pear tree, and began to teach his tribe how to use stones to lay rivers. If he was the only one involved in such a large project, it would take forever.

Laying the river lift is actually a time-consuming and labor-intensive task.

Nowadays, anyone who is a little free in Chidi City has come out to help, and there are many women. They are still capable of moving stones, paving rivers and carrying them.

The lively scene made the entire Scarlet Emperor City boil.

Even Shaohao's furbolg ran over, its whole body lying on the ground, its two front paws kept digging, it was also an excavator.

In the end, he was ridiculed by the little mushroom. Without it, the big pear tree dug quickly, and his body was still dirty. The furbolg was covered in hair, and now the sand had gotten into the hair.

The furbolg shook its head, waiting for it to jump into the river to wash itself off.

A tree, a tree child, and a bear keep moving forward, and the progress of the project is unexpectedly fast.

However, Chidi City is too big, and the moat cannot be dug in a day or two.

Zhuang Yu led his tribe to move the volcanic rock, and the speed of building the river was not too slow.

The helpers changed batch after batch, but they never stopped.

Those who left to continue the task also brought out the news that they would have berry trees in Chidi City, and those who are free should go back to Chidi City to help.

Therefore, the number of people increased instead of decreasing, and the entire Scarlet Emperor City seemed to be in action.

Day after day, it seems boring but everyone is full of enthusiasm.

Without delaying anything, a stone moat slowly began to form.

Looking at the well-built river bank, the people of Chidi City couldn't help being stunned. They actually built such a beautiful river bank by themselves.

With rules, everything will reflect a unique beauty, such as a room, which is cleaned properly, looks completely different from the one that has not been cleaned.

"Our young master just likes to make everything beautiful."

"No, our grassland is the same, now it's all piece by piece, it looks magical and beautiful."

"It's great. Living in Chidi City is like enjoying it. It's not like before. Everything is messed up."

"This is just Heti. If you plant berry trees on both sides as Shaojun said, it will be so beautiful. I have decided that I will come to Heti every day before going to bed and walk around. Any fatigue will be relieved." eliminate."

"That's not it."

A few days later, Zhuang Yu began to let the Guiliu family make some new waterwheels, ready to be installed in the moat.

The purpose of his moat is to water the surrounding plants, and water wheels can be used to lift the water and water it around.

The project was proceeding according to plan. Originally, Zhuang Yu wanted to make a block of pulleys to lift the stone, but he found that it was not needed at all. The weight of the stone was not a problem for these tribesmen.

It's very different here from Earth.

The atmosphere in the entire Red Emperor City has changed.

Finally, after days and nights of hard work, a stone-built moat surrounding the entire Chidi City appeared outside the Chidi City.

In order to facilitate crossing the moat, Zhuang Yu also built a stone arch bridge on it at intervals.

The semi-circular stone arch bridge looks very interesting and beautiful, as picturesque.

Looking at such a huge project, Zhuang Yu felt a surge of ambition in his heart.

Standing on the stone bridge and looking at the extra river, it feels very different.

Now, the only thing left is to fill the moat with water.

Zhuang Yu took a group of small radish heads to the location of the dam, and a huge waterfall fell from a high place, making a very loud sound.

Shaohao's furbolgs were ready in the river, which was only a huge sand wall from the moat.

The corners of Zhuang Yu's mouth rose, and he waved at the furbolg.

The furbolg blinked his eyes, and then threw his huge body on the huge sand wall, which collapsed with a bang.

The river rushed towards the moat, and the rushing water flowed continuously.

Today, the water flowing down from the dam has formed two paths, one is still the original river, and the other part of the huge water flow has flowed into the moat.

The white water flow rushed away and began to fill the moat.

From morning to night, the water level of the entire moat was only a shallow layer.

A few more days passed before the water level of the moat began to rise.

The new waterwheel in the river also started to turn.

On this day, when the desert sun began to slant westward, the busy crowd began to return to Scarlet Emperor City.

But from a long distance, they heard the cheerful laughter of a group of children, and when they got closer, they realized that a group of children and their young master were standing on the stone bridge, holding a long tree trunk, motionless, very Warm and very strange picture.

The people who were going back to the city couldn't help being stunned, what are they doing, Shaojun

Can't help but look up curiously.

Then the tree trunk in the hand of a little radish head suddenly lifted, white water splashed, and a fish with the size of an arm flew up.

There were also the joyful voices of the children who were extremely excited, "Fish, fish, I caught another fish, look, Shaojun."

The returning clansmen were all dumbfounded, they couldn't even close their mouths, they were really a fish.

This is the fishing rod that Zhuang Yu just got out, and he is teaching this group of children to fish.

A tree trunk, then a thread made of spider silk, and a hook melted with iron.

Their dam can stop large water monsters, but small things like fish and shrimp cannot stop them, so there are actually many fish in the moat.

It turned out that the river was too fast and not suitable for fishing, but the moat was different. It flowed much slower and rippling, which was suitable for fishing.

That's why Zhuang Yu got out the fishing rod. Fishing is a very interesting thing. Those who like it especially like it. Those who don't like it probably won't be able to stay. This is also the fun of fishing.

Every time a fish is caught, a group of children can laugh happily for a long time.

The children also seemed to notice the returning adult, and one of the children shouted, "Daddy, I caught two big fish. We will eat fish tonight."

Their moats are not only beautiful, but also provide them with meat.

Along the river bank, there are a group of children. They have been fishing with Zhuang Yu for a long time, and they have basically gained a lot.

Opening his mouth, he said cheerfully, "Let's eat fish tonight."

After the rainstorm, the children from the Golden Centipede Department also laughed from ear to ear, "We also caught a lot, and we also eat fish at night."

Zhuang Yu smiled, and then glanced at the awning in the distance. His chili soybeans were almost grown, it was time to harvest, and the garlic was already ready to eat.

Today I will teach you how to make boiled fish fillets.

Put away the fishing rods, let a group of children harvest peppers and soybeans, and dig some garlic by the way.

In the evening, a group of children happily ran across Chidi City again, "Young Master asked everyone to go to the square to collect things."

The voice of excitement spread far away.

Those who heard the voice were also taken aback, Shaojun sent something again

They received salt, earthenware pots, and porcelain bowls. How long has it been since they received new things

Every time Shaojun asked them to receive something, it was the happiest time for them.

There were smiles all over his face, and I don't know what good things Shaojun came up with this time.

However, when they arrived at the square, they were stunned, because what they received seemed to be some strange water and grass, as well as something called devil fruit by outsiders. Didn't outsiders say that it was useless and could not be eaten

Water is actually oil squeezed from soybeans, grass is actually garlic, and devil fruit is actually pepper.

A group of people were full of doubts, isn't this what Shaojun planted

To be honest, although they grew up watching these things, they don't know what's the use.

As long as it is green, they like it. They thought it was grown by Shaojun to feed the cattle and sheep, but Shaojun let people watch and prevent the cattle and sheep from approaching those shiny houses.

Zhuang Yu smiled and said loudly, "Today I will teach you how to cook fish."

After the moat was repaired, he was in a particularly good mood, and he was also happy when he finally had fish to eat.

He is planning to open a snack street in the comprehensive area outside Chidi City, and of course he must teach these delicious recipes to his tribe.

Everyone was stunned when Zhuang Yu taught them how to make fish. Where did they get fish to eat in Chidi before, but now that they think about it, there is a moat outside them now, and their boys did bring back fish today.

In other words, wouldn't they really have fish to eat in the future

Everyone is not very clear about the taste of fish, so listen carefully.

Zhuang Yu is already teaching how to slice fish.

They all use bone knives, which are very sharp, and it is still possible to cut fish fillets.

A group of people stared blankly, looking at the thin fish fillets, which were crystal clear, so beautiful, and... too particular.

Tsk tsk, they are all starting to pay attention to the Red Emperor City now, but they couldn't even eat enough before.

When people are happy, they are happy to see everything.

Zhuang Yu also taught how to boil chili oil and how to cook fish fillets.

When the scent came out, I don't know how many people were stunned.

"It's... very fragrant."

"Just by smelling it, you know it's delicious."

"Oh my god, how can there be such a good smell."

The delicacy of the fish soup is indeed very tempting, and the fragrance can waft far and wide, and this is due to the lack of ingredients, otherwise Zhuang Yu can make it more fragrant.

For the people of Chidi City, where the best food is broth, a boiled fish fillet is absolutely unimaginable.

After they knew how to cook broth, they all disliked the barbecue of foreigners, thinking that their broth was definitely the best thing in the world, but now just because of this taste, they began to waver again.

Moreover, the white fish fillets in the pot are so beautiful.

Zhuang Yu only cooked a pot, and let the tribal leaders and their women taste it, and they had to rely on these women to teach their tribe members how to do it after returning home.

There is no need to worry that no one will learn, because they will definitely scramble to learn.

Pass them a small bowl of fish soup.

Then, the smoothness of the fish meat and the deliciousness of the fish soup really made a group of people confused.

It turned out that the barbecue with their snowflake salt and the broth with their snowflake salt were not the best at all.

Shaojun's boiled fish fillet is almost so delicious that it makes people cry.

What kind of taste is in this soup is so indescribable.

It turns out that these grasses planted by Shaojun can make the food so delicious, even better than those green grasses. They will have to look forward to it in the future. Their children seem to sneak away to Shaojun's transparent houses and spoil a lot of seedlings. Now that I think about it, I want to go back and smoke people.

Compared with the salt-only broth, this dish has indeed risen more than a notch.

Those who drank the fish soup were somewhat incoherent. To them, the taste was beyond description.

Zhuang Yu said, "The process of boiling fish fillets just now is like this, and the ingredients have been sent to you. If you don't understand anything, ask Mrs. Chuncha."

Zhuang Yu asked the people who had received the materials to go back, and he himself took a group of radish heads back to the yard.

A group of little radish heads couldn't hold back for a long time, and they just kept swallowing their saliva.

Back in the yard, that's when they started cooking the fish.

Tonight, the whole Chidi City seemed to smell of fish, a food smell they had never smelled before.

I believe everyone will never forget the taste of fish.

Zhuang Yu could imagine that there would definitely be many fishermen by the moat in the future.

The little radishheads need to exercise, and Zhuang Yu took them fishing today. If they were allowed to go by themselves, they probably would not have that patience.

Leave things like fishing to the more leisurely old people in the clan, and find something for them to do so that they can also find some meat for their families.

The next day, Zhuang Yu arranged for people to start harvesting a large amount of their peppers, soybeans, garlic, etc. They planted a lot, and yesterday was only a small part of it.

Peppers should be sun-dried, which is convenient for storage. Garlic is not easy to rot, so it can be stored for a long time.

Part of the soybeans is used to extract oil, and the other part, Zhuang Yu decided to wait a few days and teach everyone how to make bean curd.

The change of Chidi City needs to involve all aspects, and eating is a very important aspect of it.

Whether a city is rich or not depends on people's living standards, such as food and clothing, in addition to infrastructure construction. If only infrastructure is built, what's the use of people living a poor life with poor food and clothing.

Zhuang Yu looked at his prickly ash tree and fragrant leaf tree, which had grown very tall and could be divided into seedlings.

On both sides of the moat, the first batch of trees should be planted with pepper trees and fragrant leaves.

Moreover, after these things are harvested, the land cannot be left empty and must continue to be planted.

There are small mushrooms, but there is no need to consider the season, anyway, they can be planted quickly.

So it looks like it's been a while.

While Zhuang Yu and the others were busy harvesting, the troops from Ruidi City and Baidi City who had been wandering in the desert finally withdrew from Chidi.

Their food and water are exhausted, and if they don't leave, they can only have new food and water by attacking Chidi City.

But the fighter plane has been delayed, and they don't trust each other, retreating is their only choice.

This is good news.

At least, Red Emperor City has more time to prepare.

Then, successive caravans also began to approach Chidi City.

This time was different from the last time. The caravans that came this time were not just as few as last time.

After Zhuang Yu got the news, the corners of his mouth raised up. The arrival of the caravan meant that they would get a large amount of supplies from Chidi City.

Zhuang Yu thought for a while, the grass outside the moat could be planted by the Qingsang family.

But there is no way for berry water and flower seeds. We have to tell these merchants about the demand through this transaction and let them bring in.

So berry trees and flower beds have to slow down for a while.

However, the snack street in the comprehensive area can be made.

The food they eat in Chidi City should still be very rare in other people's places.

Zhuang Yu started to act. Compared with the last fair, this time there are some changes. I believe that the caravans will spread the reputation of their Red Emperor City again.

The greater the reputation, the more caravans will come here.

But this is just the beginning, and the construction of Scarlet Emperor City has just started.

Zhuang Yu is slowly changing Chidi City in his own way.
