The Lord of the Oasis

Chapter 109: The beginning of the sugar workshop

Mind communication system.

The two cards in Kant's mind suddenly turned into golden fragments.

The data flow spread, shot out from Kant's eyes, but before he arranged it, it had already been concretized.

Five chicken coops, about half a person's height, made of straw and wood, are placed side by side on the west side of the wall, close to the city wall area, next to which construction workers are carefully compacting and laying stone bricks and Slate canal.

"Cuckoo..."

The crowing of chickens kept ringing in the nest, and Kant could even see a few small heads poking out from the small doors of the five chicken coops, with brown feathers and black pearl-like eyes, looking around inquiringly, looking Seeing the construction workers not far away who were still busy, they yelled softly "cuckoo" a few more times, which was very strange.

"There are a lot of bees, oh, be careful!"

In the date palm forest, the farmers who were still holding tools to loosen the soil exclaimed. They threw down their farm tools and covered their heads and ran out. dots are circling.

Kant turned his head and looked, in the middle of the date palm grove, 10 wooden boxes were placed there.

It is the artificial beehive mastered and researched by the Swadian bee herders.

Arriving at the new place, patches of desert bees are flying out of the hive with vibrating wings, buzzing in patches, and even flying towards the entire date palm forest, and even the desert outside the wall, as if they are exploring what is going on here where is it.

On the edge of the date palm grove, one by one farmers were looking inside worriedly.

The desert bees are swarming, like dark clouds, probably no fewer than a thousand.

"twitter."

Just as the group of desert bees had just left the date palm forest, a few small birds that originally lived in the sentry oasis flew out, grabbed a bee in their beak, and stretched their necks to eat it when it landed on a branch. Here, with his head tilted, he flew into the bee colony again, obviously treating these desert bees as bugs from nowhere.

But these small birds hadn't flown a few times to eat a lot of desert bees, and when they passed by the chicken coop, the brown figure "clucked" and fluttered out, directly pressing down on the body, with its neck facing upwards. He pecked a few times with his hard beak, and then he died.

It is a vigorous male sand grouse with a crown on his head.

And behind them are smaller but very well-proportioned female sand grouse. They all screamed "cuckoo" and looked around suspiciously. grains of sand.

5 male sand grouse, 45 female sand grouse.

Kant scanned the five chicken coops, and couldn't help shaking his head and laughing at the happy life of the five roosters.

"It's not as good as a chicken." He complained helplessly.

Although the development of the territory must require women to be complete, but the Sentinel Oasis is still in the initial development process, and women are a burden, even if Kant really wants to have some women, to add some softness to the male "Drehem" , the system has to give it. As for the native women in this world, Kant cannot be trusted and will never bring them back.

Kant was based on this mentality when he killed the woman with ulterior motives before.

Shaking his head, he didn't take this matter to heart.

The farmers standing outside the date palm forest were a little dazed, because the swarms of bees "buzzed" and flew over their heads with their wings shaking, but they didn't attack them.

"These desert bees, don't sting us."

A farmer suddenly realized, with a bit of joy in his eyes.

Although desert bees are not very poisonous bees, their stings can still be unbearable for more than ten days. If it is not necessary, no one wants to get close to the location of these bees, lest they will be stung with pain all over their bodies.

Now that these bees don't sting people, it really puts a smile on the faces of these farmers.

This allowed them to continue into the date palms and pick up their tools and get to work.

"Come and fetch some grain."

Kant also reached out to greet the farmer next to him, and told him: "Go to the warehouse to get some grain, and the task of feeding these sand grouse every day will be entrusted to you. I hope there will be no mistakes."

"Yes, Lord Lord." The farmer nodded respectfully.

The grain was brought quickly, plump and good wheat, more than enough for white bread.

Now that he had these sand grouse, Kant did not intend to be stingy.

As the farmers sprinkled the wheat grains, there were at least 50 sand grouse cooing and pecking at the wheat grains on the ground. Soon, half a bag of wheat grains was scattered, and these sand grouse Satisfied, he straightened up, occasionally lowered his head to peck at grains of sand to help digestion, and walked around, as if patrolling his own territory.

Although there was a gap of one meter on the left and right sides of the fence, the sand grouse did not escape.

Occasionally, sand grouse entered the vicinity of the lake and the Achnatherum splendens beach, and they all came back in a short while following the shouts of the farmers.

It looks like a domestic chicken that has been raised for a long time.

Kant looked at the chicken coop and honeycomb with satisfaction, which is worthy of the rewards given by the system. It fully implements the saying that the products produced by the system must be high-quality goods, and fundamentally abandons the trouble of Kant to continue to domesticate.

"There's another card."

Raising his head slightly, Kant's eyes swept across the many lush date palm trees.

The lush appearance is emerald and pleasant, adding a fascinating greenness to this khaki desert, while above the straight tree body and under the slender leaves, it looks empty, as if something is missing.

The fresh dates have been picked, and now there are still dried dates in the storage room.

For the sentinel oasis that lacks fruit, the date palm, which is extremely high in sugar, is a very popular good thing.

At the end of almost every meal, everyone will be given 3 dates as snacks.

The delicious sweetness fills the mouth, and the soft feeling is like the top-quality sugar bread. This is an intoxicating dessert after a meal, and it is also a reward for a tiring day, and an efficient source of energy to supplement the tired body.

The corners of Kant's mouth turned up slightly: "There will be honey to eat in the future."

The mind connects to the card in the mind, and the golden card bursts out countless dense data streams in an instant.

Just like a gust of wind, appearing from the mysterious void, blowing across the 5 mu of land in the entire date palm grove, a lot of data stuck to the date palm tree, but when the data flow disappeared, dense white flowers were growing green and slender. Swaying under the leaves.

And in the middle of the white flowers, the small fruit is showing its embryonic form.

The entire agricultural area is filled with a sweet aroma as the date palms bloom.

The desert bees, which were still flying chaotically, assembled in an instant as if they had found their home, buzzing and fluttering their wings, and pounced on the white flowers. After being covered with pollen from the pistils, they moved towards themselves. hive flies away.

Obviously, this is the most common honey-gathering life for desert bees.

"With honey and dates, maybe the sugar workshops can also arrange people to start working."

Kant looked at the desert bees coming and going at the hive, thinking in his heart.

Due to the scarcity of raw materials and lack of personnel, no sugar has been produced yet.

However, the sugar workshop originally had the only sugar that could be made, which is date palm sugar. However, according to the people of Sarande, this sugar is actually date palms that are ground into powder and used as condiments or as water for drinking. thing.

"Open the building interface." Kant's thinking communication system.

On Retina, the dialog pops up.

[Sugar workshop: civil building. A hut made of wood with complete tools inside. Arrange farmers to enter it and consume raw materials to produce various types of sugar. Currently craftable: Date Palm Sugar, Honey, Honey Date Palm Sugar.]

Kant raised an eyebrow.

After date palm sugar, which could only be made originally, there are two kinds of sugars that can be made.

But looking at that simple vocabulary, Kant also smiled wryly.

It is basically honey and honey mixed with date palm sugar. In a sense, it is not comparable to real sugars such as white sugar and maltose, and it belongs to the concept of ingredients.

[Ding...Temporary task release]

[Temporary task: the beginning of the sugar workshop]

[Task Reward: Peasant Woman × 50]

[Introduction: Sugar is an expensive luxury, and to some extent is more valuable than salt. Now that you have the ingredients, you can probably try making any kind of sugar. Of course, if the level of sugar you make is high enough, then congratulations, there is another precious output in your territory that can be used as a trade item. Want to try it out? You should probably give it a try, this delicious luxury is too tempting to refuse.]

The system's temporary task dialog box popped up directly in Kant's eyes.

"Peasant woman?" Kant was startled.

He didn't care about the task this time, but directly swept towards the task reward. After all, the task reward this time was an unexpected female peasant woman, not a male farmer.

With a wry smile at the corner of his mouth, Kant realized that the system probably couldn't stand it anymore, and his territory was only for men.

But you can also know if you think about it carefully.

There are more chores now.

Whether it is feeding sand grouse or tidying beehives, it is easier for careful women to do it.

There are also jobs in the kitchen, including those in the sugar workshops, where peasant women are much better than peasants who are more suitable for manual work. At this time, the appearance of peasant women is just suitable for the current situation.

"In this case."

Kant chuckled, of course he chose to accept this task.

However, making date palm honey candy is not too difficult a skill for those Sarandes in the desert.
