Chapter 66 Stone Arch Bridge and Fish
Zhuang Yu now wants to engage in urban construction. If such a large-scale infrastructure were on earth, it would take years for planning alone.
But now it's different. He's in charge here.
A group of little turnips are also rubbing their hands, and it's time for them to show their skills.
Ran to the ghost willow family to borrow a hoe, a group of turnips ran outside against a hoe, even the twins after the rain style, little leather caps and feathers were no exception.
Zhuang Yu's city planning takes the moat as the core. Only with the water in the moat can his meadows, berry trees and flower beds be planted.
So, first of all, they had to dig up the moat.
A group of small radish heads, bent small bodies, hoes digging to the ground.
It's just that, with these little turnips, at their speed, they have to dig a river that surrounds the whole city of Chidi. don't know how long it will be until the end of time.
However, these little turnips believed that Zhuang Yu said they could dig as well as they could, so they dug with a hoe, digging and wiping the sweat on their foreheads.
The scorching sun, in the desert, a group of children digging ditches, looking quite inspiring.
However, at this time, a burst of "quack" laughter came.
The little turnips were stupefied, who dared to laugh at them?
When looked up, mouth could not be closed.
I saw the little mushroom giggling with his waist crossed, and at the foot of the little mushroom was a huge pear tree.
This pear tree, after fertilizing small mushrooms every day, is now very different from what it used to be. the trunk must be surrounded by several children in order to hold it.
Not to mention the towering green leaves, the Overgrow, now they live in the yard, do not have to worry about being exposed to the sun, because the pear tree completely blocked the sun.
The pear tree is so big that even the peacock has made a nest on it, and now the peacock rests on the pear tree every day.
Of course, the pear tree did not allow the peacock to make a nest on it at first, but later, after a "heart-to-heart talk", the big pear tree promised.
It is very shocking that such a towering tree appears in the desert.
If it hadn't been standing in Zhuangyu's courtyard, many people would have come to watch.
Now, such a big pear tree has risen from the ground and walked outside Chidi City, which has also caused a sensation in the whole Chidi City.
There are also many kinds of giant beasts in the red land, but this is the first time to see such a giant as a green tree.
So a group of people followed the eldest brother behind the big tree, all came to watch the fun and wonder, and they were not afraid, because the tree was in their Shaojun yard, and they could see it at ordinary times, but they didn't walk on the ground as they do now.
The little mushroom is valiant and arrogant, and his nostrils are all upside down. See, the mushroom boy also has a giant beast. Let's see who dares to bully the mushroom boy in the future.
The pear tree is not what it used to be, and the roots pulled out from the ground are huge and strong, and the tentacles look amazing.
The little mushroom waved his hand, got out of the way, and the mushroom boy's super excavator came.
Zhuang Yu is also standing on the pear tree. to tell you the truth, this pear tree is simply a super urban construction machine. don't know how many things can be saved with it.
The little mushroom looked at a group of small turnips digging for a long time, then dug out a small hole, extremely arrogant, let you see the strength of its pear tree big baby.
Small mushrooms let a group of small turnips out of the way, as a result, a group of small turnips saw the big pear tree running out. Zhuang Yu and the small mushroom were still standing on the big pear tree. They responded and ran to the edge of the pear tree, not afraid at all.
"Pear tree, let's climb it, too."
A group of small turnips kicked their calves, hugged the big pear tree and began to climb up.
A big pear tree hung a group of children, followed by a large group of onlookers, the scene was not ordinary lively.
Small mushrooms are also very generous, let a group of small turnips climb up.
A huge pear tree, the child of a tree, squeaking dregs, but immediately turned into a scream.
Because the big pear tree put its roots deep into the ground, and then began to move forward, the sand began to roll around.
It is exactly the same as a large-scale mechanical operation, even more so.
A group of little turnips watched them dig the ground that they had not dug for a long time, and as a result, as soon as they were passed by the big pear tree, there was a big pit all the way, shouting with delight and excitement.
"the big baby of the pear tree is amazing."
"from now on, we will water the big baby of the pear tree every day."
The show-off of the little mushroom can not even be seen in the nostrils now, because its head is raised so high that its nostrils go to the back.
The onlookers at the back were also surprised, "this giant is really good."
"that's right. It took us so long to dig the dam. I don't know how much time would have been saved if we had this giant beast."
A huge pear tree, ploughing in the desert, flying sand and stones, leaving a huge pit behind.
The little turnips sat on the trees, leisurely, their little feet swaying.
There are many big pears on the pear tree, which are fully ripe.
Zhuang Yu did not let the turnips idle and let them start picking pears, otherwise they would fall to the ground and break down.
Small mushrooms are also generous, small hand wave, feel free to eat.
In fact, it is mainly because it can not finish it, a big pear can let it eat for many days, the pear is about to go bad, it is also rare and generous, this stingy and cunning.
The little turnips picked the pears and threw them at the crowd who followed the pear trees. Such a big pear tree produced so many pears that they could not finish it.
Zhuang Yu smiled, berries are almost non-existent in the desert, let the people of Chidi City taste what it tastes like.
Later, he planted more berry trees on both sides of the moat, which everyone could eat.
The people who picked up the pears were also sharing with each other, and then their eyes narrowed, "is this the berry?" It's so sweet. "
"I have heard my grandfather say that he has gone out of the red land before and has eaten berries, which is delicious. I have never known the taste, but today I finally know that the berries are really delicious, but it is a pity that we do not produce berries in the red land."
Although there are many pears on the big pear tree, it is impossible to satisfy Chidi City. One person eats a little, and most people can't try it.
However, the atmosphere is very different, happy and satisfied.
Zhuang Yu could not help laughing that the construction of others was very boring, which was as lively as they were.
The laughter of children and the discussion of adults never stop.
Zhuang Yu looked at eating a little pear, smiled and bent his eyebrows and shouted, "in the future, everyone in 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.
Grow berries? Growing berries in the desert?
Oh, my God, this is completely unthinkable.
However, they Shaojun will be able to do it.
In the past, some people dared to say that they planted green grass in the red land?
But they Shaojun did, now they have a large area of green grass outside the city of Red Emperor, sacred and incredible, they are still used to looking at the grass every day, to see the cattle and sheep on the grass.
Moreover, after they made the shining sunshade, they also planted green plants except green grass.
They just went to see it, all knee-high.
Moreover, the plants that people outside call Devil Fruit are beginning to bear fruit, and there is also a kind of yellow bean that is also beginning to bear fruit.
Li Zhuangyu has planted chili, soybeans, garlic, pepper and incense leaves for some time, and now he has grown very well with the bath water of small mushrooms.
Today's sunshade, also piece by piece, looks spectacular.
Thinking that they could eat berries in the future, the excited voice almost spread all over Chidi City.
Soon more and more onlookers came to hear the news.
Such a large-scale construction with great fanfare actually requires a lot of people, but the various ministries of Chidi City now have their own affairs and perform their own duties, and they may not be able to draw out much manpower.
Zhuang Yu thought about it, and it happened that these people who stayed in Chidi City were free, but they could start it.
Standing on the pear tree, Zhuang Yu exclaimed, "now I'm going to dig a moat to bring water around our Chidi city, so that we can plant berry trees around Chidi city."
These people may not know what a moat is, but the thought of planting berry trees around Chidi City, my God, how big they are and how spectacular it would be to plant trees around it.
Zhuang Yu continued, "do you see the sand on both sides of the ditch? If you are free, help to transport the sand to the outside world. "
Many of these people have come back temporarily to have a rest, and they are likely to leave Chidi City to continue their mission the next moment.
The time they can help is less fixed.
However, as soon as Zhuang Yu's words fell, a group of people shouted, "Shaojun, it is our business to build Chidi City. Even if we are not free, we can squeeze out time."
Pick up their arms and start working as much as they can. Anyway, when they go out on a mission, another group of people will come back, and then they will continue to do it.
The ethnic people also began this great construction, although they sacrificed their rest time, but the excitement of building their homes did not make them feel tired at all.
Many people even think of how they built dams in the past, but it took three years for them to build dams in Chidi City, and the scene is still fresh in their memory.
At the beginning of Chidi City, it was really at the end of the mountain and water, and everything was put down in order to draw the water of the north sea into the red ground.
Now the situation is different, each tribe has a task, and it is impossible for the whole Chidi city to move as before, because it is impossible to leave behind what is on hand.
This is also the reason why Zhuang Yu is not afraid of other forces to discover the existence of their dam, because even if they do, can the other four major forces use the efforts of the whole clan and take three years to build a dam? The tribe is understaffed and there is no need to think about it at all.
This is impossible. When we built this dam, Chidi City had no choice but to have a chance of survival.
If they don't build a dam, they won't be able to get sea salt, so they can go to the edge of the North Sea to bask in salt.
Then they have to have such a big life. The North Ming Sea is called the restricted area of life, not because there is no life in it, but because the things in it are so terrible that human beings on land can not get close to them for a long time.
After thinking about it, Zhuang Yu assigned some people to move volcanic rocks, that is, to make volcanic rocks like Yantian.
It is impossible to dig a ditch for a moat. Rocks must be laid on both sides of the moat.
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, they are not so reliable and easy to collapse, and maintenance will be more time-consuming and labor-consuming.
Third, it is beautiful, the river bank piled with stones, coupled with the fruit trees along the way, it is incomparably beautiful.
Zhuang Yu also jumped off the pear tree and began to teach the clan how to lay the river with stones. if he was the only one in this big project, it would not last forever.
Laying the river is actually time-consuming and strenuous work.
Nowadays, all the people who are a little free in Chidi City have come out to help, and there is no lack of the figure of some women, who are still capable of carrying stones and paving the river.
The lively scene made the whole Chidi city boil up.
Even Shaohao's bear monster ran over, the whole body lying on the ground, two front claws have been planing, bear is also an excavator.
As a result, he was laughed at by the small mushroom. the big pear tree was not as fast as it was, and his body was dirty. The bear monster was covered with hair, and now the sand was in the hair.
The bear monster shook his head and then he jumped into the river and washed it.
A tree, a tree child, a bear, keep moving forward, the progress of the project is unexpectedly fast.
However, Chidi City is so big that this moat cannot be dug in one or two days.
Zhuang Yu took his people to move volcanic rocks, and the speed of bricking up the river was not slow.
The people who helped have changed one batch after another, but they have never been broken.
Those who left to continue the mission also brought out the news. They are going to have berry trees in Chidi City. Those who are free should go back to Chidi City as soon as possible to help.
Therefore, the number of people has increased rather than decreased, and the whole Chidi city seems to have taken action.
Day after day, it seems boring, but everyone is hot.
Without delaying anything, a stone moat slowly began to take shape.
Looking at the well-built river bank, the people of Chidi City could not help but be stupefied that they had built such a beautiful river with their own hands.
With the rules, everything will show a unique beauty, such as the room, which is properly cleaned and looks completely different from the one that has not been cleaned.
"We, Shaojun, like to make everything beautiful."
"that's right. It's the same with our grass. Now it's all in one piece, and it looks magical and good-looking."
"it's nice to live in Chidi City. It's like living in Chidi City. It's not like before, everything is in a mess."
"this is just the river. How beautiful it would be to plant berry trees on both sides, as Shaojun said. I decided that from now on, I would come and walk around the river in front of Rest every day, and any tiredness can be eliminated."
"that's right."
A few days later, Zhuang Yu began to ask the ghost willows to build some new water wagons to be installed in the moat.
The purpose of his moat is to irrigate the surrounding plants and use water trucks to lift the water and pour it around.
The project was carried out according to the plan. Zhuang Yu originally wanted to create a pulley group to lift the stone, but he found that it was not necessary at all, and the weight of the stone was not a thing for these people at all.
This place is still very different from the earth.
The atmosphere of the whole Chidi city has changed.
Finally, after day and night efforts, a moat with stone banks around the entire Chidi city appeared outside the city.
In order to facilitate crossing the moat, Zhuang Yu built a stone arch bridge on it at intervals.
The semicircle stone arch bridge looks particularly interesting and beautiful, like a picture.
Such a huge project, Zhuang Yu saw a surge of ambition in his heart.
Standing on the stone bridge, looking at the extra river, it feels very different.
Now, the only thing missing is to inject water into the moat.
Zhuang Yu took a group of small turnips to the location of the dam. The huge waterfall fell from the height, and the sound was very loud.
Shaohao's bear monster is ready in the river, which is only a huge sand wall from the moat.
Zhuang Yu raised the corners of his mouth and waved to the bear monster.
The bear blinked his eyes, then his huge body threw himself on the huge sand wall, and the sand wall collapsed.
The river rushes toward the moat, and the surging water flows endlessly.
Today, the water from the dam has formed two paths, one is the same river, and the other part of the huge water has flowed into the moat.
The current of the white flowers, galloping away, began to fill the moat.
From morning to evening, the water level of the whole moat is only a shallow layer.
It was a few more days before the water level of the moat began to rise.
The new waterwheel in the river also began to turn.
On this day, when the sun in the desert began to set in the west, the busy crowd began to return to Chidi City.
But far away, they heard the cheerful laughter of a group of children, close, only to find that a group of children and their Shaojun were standing on a stone bridge, holding a long tree trunk, motionless, very warm and very strange picture.
People who are going back to the city can't help but be stupefied, Shaojun, what are they doing?
I can't help but look at it curiously.
Then a little turnip suddenly lifted the trunk of his hand, the spray of white flowers splashed, and a fish with a big arm flew up.
And the children were extremely excited and cheerful, "Fish, fish, catch fish again, Shaojun, look."
The return of the people are confused, mouth can not be closed, is really a fish.
This is Zhuang Yucai's fishing rod, which 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 be stopped, so there are actually a lot of fish in the moat.
It turns out that the river is too fast for fishing, but the moat is different. It flows much more slowly, and the waves are rippling, so it is suitable for fishing.
That's why Zhuang Yu got the fishing rod out. Fishing is a particularly interesting thing. People who like it especially like it, and people who don't like it may not be able to stay. This is also the pleasure of fishing.
Every time a fish is caught, a group of children can laugh happily for a long time.
The children also seemed to find the returning adults, and one of the children shouted, "Dad, I've caught two big fish. We'll have fish tonight."
Their moat not only looks good, but also provides them with meat.
Along the river bank, there are a group of children. They have been fishing with Zhuangyu for a long time and have basically made gains.
He opened his mouth and said happily, "We'll eat fish tonight."
After the rain, there were children from the Golden centipede smiling from ear to ear. "We also caught a lot of fish, and we also ate fish at night."
Zhuang Yu smiled and then looked at the sunshade in the distance. His chili soybeans were almost grown. It was time for harvest, and garlic could be eaten a long time ago.
Let's teach you how to make boiled fish fillets today.
Put away the fishing rod and ask a group of children to harvest chili peppers and soybeans and dig up some garlic.
In the evening, a group of children happily ran away from Manchu Chidi City. "Shaojun asked everyone to go to the square to get things."
The excited voice spread far away.
The person who hears the voice is also stupefied. Did Shaojun send something again?
They got salt, pottery pots and porcelain bowls. How long did it take for them to have something new to pick up?
Every time Shaojun asks them to take something, it is their happiest time.
There is a smile on his face, and don't know what good thing Shaojun has come up with this time.
However, they were stunned when they got to the square, because they seemed to get some strange water and grass, and the kind of thing that people outside called devil fruit. Didn't the people outside say that they couldn't eat it without use?
Water, in fact, is the oil squeezed with soybeans, grass, in fact, garlic, devil fruit is also chili.
A group of people had doubts on their faces. Isn't this the kind of thing that Shaojun planted?
To tell you the truth, although they grew up watching these things, they don't know what the use is.
As long as it is green, they all like it. They thought it was Shaojun to feed the cattle and sheep. As a result, Shaojun let people watch and keep the cattle and sheep away from those shiny houses.
Zhuang Yu laughed and shouted, "Today I'll teach you how to make fish."
When the moat was repaired, he was in a very good mood, and he was happy when he finally had fish to eat.
He is going to open a snack street in the comprehensive area outside Chidi City, and of course he has to teach these delicious practices to his people.
When people listened to Zhuang Yu's lecture on how to cook fish, they were also stupefied. Where did they get the fish before, but now when they think about it, they have a moat outside, and their boys have indeed brought back fish today.
In other words, won't they really have fish to eat in the future?
We don't know what the fish tastes like, so we listened carefully.
Zhuang Yu is already teaching how to cut fish slices.
They all use bone knives, which are sharpened so that they can cut fish fillets.
A group of people were stunned, looking at the thin fish fillets cut out, glittering and translucent, really beautiful, and …. It's too fastidious.
Tut-tut, they all began to pay attention to Chidi City now, but they didn't have enough to eat in the past.
When people are happy, they are happy to see everything.
Zhuang Yu also taught how to cook chili oil and how to cook fish fillets.
When the fragrance came out, don't know how many people were confused.
"well. It smells good. "
"just by smelling it, you know it's delicious."
"Oh, my God, how can it smell so good?"
The delicacy of fish soup is indeed very attractive, the fragrance can float far away, this is still the case of insufficient materials, otherwise Zhuangyu can make it more fragrant.
For the people of Chidi City, where there is nothing more delicious than broth, a boiled fish fillet is absolutely unimaginable.
After they can cook broth, they all dislike the barbecue of foreigners, thinking that their broth is definitely the most delicious food in the world, but now just the taste, they are beginning to waver again.
Moreover, the white fish fillets in the pot are too beautiful.
Zhuang Yu only cooked one pot and let the tribal leaders and their women taste it, and they had to rely on these women to teach them how to do it when they went back.
Don't worry about no one to learn at all, because they will definitely scramble to learn.
Pass them half a bowl of fish soup.
Then, the smoothness of the fish and the delicacy of the fish soup really confused a group of people.
It turns out that the barbecue with their snow salt and the broth with their snow salt is not the best at all.
Shaojun's boiled fish fillet was almost delicious enough to make people cry.
The taste of this soup is so indescribable.
It turns out that the grass planted by Shaojun can make the food so delicious and better than the grass. They will have to watch it in the future. Their children seem to have secretly run to Shaojun's transparent houses and spoiled a lot of seedlings. Now want to go back and smoke people.
Compared with the broth with only salt, this dish does rise to more than one level.
People who drank fish soup were somewhat incoherent, and for them, it was delicious beyond description.
Zhuang Yu said, "this is the process of boiling fish fillets just now, and the materials have been sent to you. If you have anything you don't understand, ask Aunt Chun Cha."
Zhuang Yu asked the person who had finished receiving the materials to go back, and he also took a group of turnips back to the yard.
A group of little turnips couldn't contain themselves for a long time, and they just swallowed their mouthfuls.
Back in the yard, that's when they started cooking fish.
Tonight, the whole city of Chidi seems to be smelling of fish, a smell of food they have never smelled before.
I'm sure no one will forget the taste of fish.
Zhuang Yu can imagine that there will be a lot of fishermen on the edge of the moat in the future.
The little turnips want to exercise, and it is Zhuang Yu who takes them fishing today. If they are allowed to go on their own, they may not have the patience.
Leave fishing to the more leisurely old people in the clan, and we should also 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 harvest a lot of their chili peppers, soybeans, garlic and so on. They planted a lot, and yesterday was just a small part of them.
Chili peppers should be sun-dried and easy to collect. Garlic is not easy to rot. In fact, it can be collected for a long time.
Some of the soybeans are used to extract oil, and for the other, Zhuang Yu decided to wait a few days to teach everyone how to make bean flowers.
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, in addition to infrastructure, it also depends on people's living standards such as food and clothing. If it is only built up by infrastructure, it is no use for people to live a life of poor food and clothing.
Zhuang Yu looked at his Zanthoxylum bungeanum tree and incense leaf tree. It was so tall that it could divide the seedlings.
On both sides of the moat, the first batch of trees will plant prickly ash and incense leaf trees.
Moreover, after these things are harvested, the land cannot be empty and must continue to be planted.
If there are small mushrooms, you don't have to think about the season. anyway, they can be planted quickly.
In this way, it will be busy for a while.
When Zhuang Yu was busy with the harvest, the troops of Ruidi City and Baidi City, which were originally wandering in the desert, finally withdrew from Chidi.
They have run out of food and water, and if they do not leave, they can have new food and water only if they take down the city of Red Emperor.
But the fighters have been delayed, they do not trust each other, and withdrawal is their only option.
This is good news.
At least, Chidi City has a lot of time to prepare.
Then, a succession of caravans began to approach Chidi City.
This time is different from the last time, this time the caravan, but not only a few last time.
When Zhuang Yu got the news, the corners of his mouth rose up, and the caravan came, which meant that they would get a large amount of supplies in the Red Emperor City.
Zhuang Yu thought that the grass outside the moat could allow the green mulberry people to start planting.
But there is nothing we can do about berry water and flower seeds, so we have to tell these businessmen 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 out.
The food they eat in Chidi City, now with others, should still be a very rare thing.
Zhuang Yu began to act. Compared with the last bazaar, there were some changes this time. believe that the caravans will spread their reputation of Chidi City again.
The greater the fame, the more caravans come.
But this is just the beginning, and the construction of Chidi City is just beginning.
Zhuang Yu is slowly changing Chidi City in his way.
