Wolf King

Chapter 129

The second story of "Gourmet Hunter's Travels" is still in St. Bridge.

The beginning of this story is very clichéd to people on earth, especially Chinese people, at least the cliché that has been popular for thousands of years: A mysterious man who claims to be a gourmet hunter passes by a small town, and most of the land in the town belongs to a noble family. People, the noble lady was recuperating in the manor, and had a romantic encounter with a mysterious man passing by.

If the mysterious man is replaced by a scholar rushing for an exam, the next development and ending of this story can be made up by any Chinese...

But Xiao Yun is obviously not interested in writing about the noble lady falling in love with me, so after the romantic encounter, the plot begins to take a 180-degree turn: the beautiful noble lady who is delicate and frail, and behaves like a weak willow Fufeng, meets the mysterious and powerful food hunter. Seeing love and pursuing, the protagonist frowned and looked disgusted, and even bluntly said that the other party was not grateful for the food, but wasted food and wasted food and indulged himself to be thin. Such an excessive woman and him Is there no future for a tough guy who pursues ultimate food for life? !

The noble lady looked confused, and when Isaac read this part, Arnold and Alex, who were listening to the story, also looked confused...

In this world, there are many legends in which a poor boy falls in love with a rich girl, and a noble young master falls in love with a pretty maid. It’s not the same in any world; but the reaction of this food hunter is so fresh and refined, everyone really loves it Haven't seen it at all.

This is not over yet, the next operation of this gourmet hunter is beyond the comprehension of the people of this world: the person takes the noble lady to see what life is like for the poor peasants on the farm outside the town, and the family huddles with the sheep, pigs, chickens and ducks in the narrow thatch Living in a mud hut, the child has no pants to wear, and at night he has to sleep with a pig to keep warm, etc. The noble lady was frightened into a daze...

The gourmet hunter accused Miss Noble, as a farm owner, of not caring about the development of the farm, the food and clothing of the poor farmers, and being picky about fine grains that the poor farmers could not eat, and made Miss Noble cry...

At the end of the day, the gourmet hunter finally had a little bit of conscience. He bought a fat pig from a poor farmer, and after slaughtering it, he took the tenderloin and ribs and made two sweet and sour delicacies for the noble lady, one sweet and sour pork tenderloin and the other sweet and sour pork ribs ——This part is both a cooking textbook and a private product. The gourmet hunter uses fruit acid instead of vinegar to cook the tenderloin. During the cooking process, he once again dislikes the noble lady who doesn't care about the development of her own territory. She doesn't even understand the popular seasoned sour vinegar in St. Bridge , by the way, tell me where to buy the most appetizing sour vinegar...

It is unprecedented to play such a hard-core advertisement.

The most exaggerated thing is that this chapter still uses at least [-] words to describe how delicious and tempting these two sweet and sour delicacies are. The picky noble lady ate with a big appetite, gnawing on her image, and even fell in love again. A gourmet hunter who has a vicious tongue and a bad temper but refuses to take the usual path...

Of course, this relationship is still fruitless. After educating the lovely noble lady with tears in her eyes, the gourmet hunter pulled down his hood and left a sentence "I'm just a passing gourmet hunter" in a cool way. Go, wave your sleeves, don't take a single cloud...

"Still didn't say who he is!!" Arnold hugged his head and howled.

Alex, on the other hand, was drooling and looking forward to the street by the window: "Which restaurant can launch sweet and sour pork as soon as possible?"

"This story is purely to sell the jealousy of the Snow Wolf Clan!" Isaac couldn't laugh or cry, "This Ah Yun didn't intend to write travel notes seriously at all!"

I have to say that Isaac discovered Huadian...

Arnold and Alex, who taught people farming, were not interested. After listening to the story of the perfect hunter, the two patted their buttocks and left. Isaac could calm down and enjoy it slowly.

Just halfway through, Isaac stood up with a look of astonishment - can water be used to grow food without a field?The poor in the city use potted water for hydroponics or use courtyards, corners, windowsills, roofs and other narrow spaces to grow emergency rations?

Although Isaac had a good background, as the second son in the family, he was not favored by his parents. When he became an adult, his father with a title gave him a thousand gold coins and sent him away.Afterwards, although Isaac did not fall to the point of living a hard life, he did see the life of the poor, so he understood very well how important the knowledge guided by the elf ranger Kleist in the story of this chapter was— Among other things, the lower town of Valentine is full of poor families. If these families can use the space as much as possible to obtain emergency food, it will be a great achievement.

Going down seriously word by word, Isaac felt more and more feasible... In this chapter, Kleist pointed out in detail how the poor in the city of the dwarf kingdom can use the existing conditions to plant, as long as A space where sunlight can shine can be used for hydroponics even if it is not close to the ground. How to prepare the hydroponic nutrient solution during the cultivation process (see Chapter 25 Soil Phosphate Fertilizer), how to dilute it into clean water for use, how to change the water, etc. Be clear.

And if there is vacant land or space around the home, even if it’s just a palm-width window sill, you can use wooden planks to make long planting containers and fill them with soil to plant onions and garlic—Kleist also thoughtfully introduced the soil cultivation part. The way to increase the yield of crops, the decomposed black soil in the woods and the earthworm soil dug from the field are all good crop soils. (The manure part was originally written by Xiao Yun, but was strongly dissuaded by Evelyn...Using this thing is too black magic style, not suitable for early publicity)

According to this textbook, the poor in the city can use the front and back of the house and even the roof area. A hardworking housewife can at least provide hundreds of catties of emergency rations (sweet potatoes, potatoes, and taro) for the family every year-not to mention that sweet potatoes are cheap No need to plant, you must know that many poor people who are struggling on the food and clothing line have no money at all!

"How many poor families' dining table problems can be solved by the story in this chapter!" Isaac couldn't help admiring, and shook his head again after a while, "It's a pity that people who need guidance can't read this travel note at all. "

The poor at the bottom can't even eat enough to eat, let alone be able to read and write. Even if they are literate, it is a problem whether they can afford "Travel to the Mainland"... The price of a book of travel is two silver coins!A total of 100 copper coins!This money is enough to feed a family of three for a month!

The small building that Isaac rented hired three maids to clean and cook food. Each of them was paid only a few silver coins a month, which was enough for two drinks for the adventurers; that’s all, Isaac When Ke spread the word about recruiting people, Valentine's union in the lower city brought more than a dozen people for Isaac to pick... Jobs in the middle city are a scramble for people in the lower city.

Isaac stood silently for a while, walked out of the room with the travel notes in his arms, went downstairs and summoned three maids from the lower town, and found an excuse to tell them a story.

The three maids are all older, and the youngest is about forty years old. This is what Isaac deliberately chose when he selected the maids—the members he recruited were all young men, and he didn’t want to be in his own Disgusting things like forced maids happen in the team's stronghold.

The three maids were very puzzled as to why the master had to read them the stories in the book, but this job was related to whether their families could have enough food, so they didn't raise any objections.He sat down on the wooden chair next to the sofa with a heart in his heart, and listened to Master Isaac start to read the story of the adventures of the elves and the snow werewolves in the dwarf kingdom. Just halfway through the reading, the three women from the lower city were extremely surprised... It is not ignorant, but don't they all describe the stories of how some brave adventurers hunt powerful monsters, earn a lot of wealth that they can only imagine, and love each other with beautiful and extraordinary princesses?

Even if adventurers help the poor, they only help beautiful girls... and the so-called help is always inseparable from fighting against injustice or robbing the rich and giving to the poor. How can there be stories of living in the homes of the poor and teaching the poor to grow food?

Although they find it very weird and inconsistent, they still can't help but fall into the storyline in the travel notes, especially the detailed descriptions of planting onions, garlic, sweet potatoes, and potatoes, which makes them feel excited and excited... Can work in Midtown They can afford sweet potatoes, and ginger, onion, and garlic are relatively reluctant; especially ginger, a relatively well-off family like them in the lower city can buy a small piece at most a month, and cut a thin piece every time and put it in the soup for seasoning , more people can't afford it at all-their family also has a small piece of open space on the window sill, in front of and behind the house, and they can grow ginger, onion and garlic by themselves, so how much money will be saved!

After Isaac finished reading it, seeing the three maids looking very focused, he smiled and said: "This travel book explains it in great detail, but I don't have any experience in planting, so I don't know if it will be possible to grow crops like what he said. , how about you, do you know anything about this?"

The oldest of the maids nodded quickly, and smiled with a wrinkled face: "I have worked on a farm before, it sounds reasonable, and the flowers raised by noble gentlemen are only so delicate." After a while, she said embarrassedly, "Master Isaac, can you tell us again how ginger, onion and garlic are grown, I'm afraid I'm not smart enough to remember all the details..."

"Of course." Isaac turned back and re-read the paragraphs related to ginger, onion and garlic. "If there is anything I don't understand, I can read it again."

"No, we've written it down." The older maid quickly waved her hand and said happily, "The soil drilled by earthworms and the water soaked in leftover bones can make crops grow better, it's really amazing ——My daughter lives in a nearby town, and she has a nice garden at home, and her life will be much easier if ginger and garlic can be planted all over it.”

"Yeah, I want to plant some in my house too." The other two maids echoed excitedly.

"The elves and snow wolves are the races that I have seen best at planting, just like the legendary Tauren. If you follow what they teach, you will definitely get something." Isaac is very happy to help them, happy Honestly, "The elves and snow wolves have unreservedly written this knowledge into their travel notes, hoping to be seen by more people in need. If your relatives, friends, neighbors and neighbors also need this knowledge, I hope you can Pass this knowledge on behalf of the elves and snow wolves."

Women are easily moved by sincere emotions, and the three maids nodded one after another, expressing that they would teach the people around them the knowledge they wrote down.

"Master Isaac is really a good man." After Isaac left, the three maids couldn't help feeling together, "It's the first time I've seen a young master who is so friendly and caring towards people like us!"

Isaac gets good guy card X3...

St. Bridge's "Continental Travel Notes" was released a few days later than the northern commercial city of Valentine. Prince Carlisle read the new issue of travel notes devoutly, and immediately summoned the prince and two princesses who followed the prince to get in touch with the real affairs of the country. , Let them arrange people to promote family planting technology in China.

"This... If everyone grows ginger and garlic at home, won't it affect the spice business in our country? Your Highness, we should ban this travel book from being published in China." Prince Hilbert flipped through the travel notes and was immediately dissatisfied. typical.

Carlisle frowned, did not speak, and looked at the two younger sisters sitting aside.

The eldest princess has a cowardly character, while the little princess has a lively nature. In the past six months, she has been favored by Carlisle again, and she has regained her confidence and pride as a royal girl. She raised her chin and said cutely: "Brother, all the spices in our country are grown in farms and manors. Come out, if those civilians who have no land grow some ginger and garlic at home, it can affect the spice trade in St. Bridge, doesn't it mean that the spice trade in our country is particularly unstable?"

Carlisle smiled approvingly and nodded slightly, Prince Hilbert looked embarrassed.

"But... what if those common people put the ginger and garlic they planted in the market for sale? Wouldn't that disturb the order of the market?" Prince Hilbert was beaten hard by Carlisle before he reluctantly agreed to let the princess participate in politics. At this moment, she was particularly dissatisfied with the little princess's ignorance, and said with a long face, "If we want to promote family planting, then these ordinary people will have to pay an extra tax."

Carlisle was really upset now, and scolded with a straight face: "Prince, please be careful with your words!"

Prince Hilbert looked displeased: "Your Highness, what did I say wrong?"

"Not to mention how much ginger and garlic the city residents can grow just by relying on their narrow living quarters, even if they sell the ginger and garlic they grow at home to earn some extra income? The industrious should live better than the lazy. Isn’t it natural for you to be rich? As a member of Ferdinand’s royal family, you are so narrow-minded?” There was no outsider in the hall, and he didn’t bother to show face to his cousin Carlyle, “You can’t even earn a few copper coins for a commoner. Accept, then the nobles wear silk and satin and eat delicacies from mountains and seas, does it also make you sleepless?"

Prince Hilbert was ashamed and angry, but he couldn't refute it—if Carlisle spread the last question, his reputation among the nobles would be ruined...especially those nobles who made their fortunes by sea trade , Even poor haha ​​has to worry about how many copper coins they earn, so wouldn't the gold coins they earned so hard make Hilbert hold a grudge?

This issue of "Travel to the Mainland" has aroused a craze for people to get rich through hard work led by the royal family in St. Bridge, and it has also caused quite a commotion in other countries and regions.

You must know that there are many smart people in this world. There are not a few who can combine the transformation of mountains into terraced fields in the last issue and the use of decomposed leaves and earthworm soil to increase crop production in this issue. Of course , the vast majority of people who have discovered this will not publicize it to the outside world, but secretly start experiments in their own territories...

As the "home field" in the travel notes, the dwarf kingdom naturally noticed the contents of the travel notes after the elf ranger's travel notes were spread with relish.

The dwarf king who just turned [-] years old is at the prime of his life. This top powerhouse who has been famous on the mainland for decades laughed after reading two issues of travel notes: "The forest elves are helping the snow wolf clan to become famous. Are they going to support the Snow Wolf Clan?"

The content of the travel notes is undoubtedly fabricated, and the rule of the dwarf king in the western continent is unquestionable. If there were elves and snow werewolves who came to guide the dwarves in terraced field technology, then the dwarf king would have received the news long ago.

The dwarf king will not feel offended that the forest elves and the snow wolves use their own family as a guiding example. The western continent is recognized as the area with the worst agricultural development and the least suitable for agriculture on the Bloomfield continent. Plateaus and mountains are widely distributed. , Most of the country is mountainous and desert.Several generations of dwarf kings have worked hard to promote agriculture according to the experience taught by the tauren, but they can only maintain the population of tens of thousands in the country.If there is more, it will not be able to feed.

If this travel note ridicules the lack of agriculture in the dwarf kingdom, the dwarf king will definitely pick up the magic weapon warhammer and hit the door to find trouble... But since people not only did not laugh at it, but also gave a solution to the problem of field tension, then the dwarf king must be the answer affectionate.

With the order of the dwarf king, an army was immediately dispatched to the southern mountainous area of ​​the Western Continent against the wind and snow, and launched a large-scale terrace reclamation plan-the southern mountainous area with the most suitable climate for cultivation, just as described in the travel notes, seven mountains, two waters and one land, Local food production is barely enough to maintain local consumption, let alone transport it to the country.The dwarf king was planning to take a big gamble to see if the solutions given by the forest elves and the snow wolves could solve the food supply problem in the kingdom.

"If we can really produce food, we can't just let the forest elves do things like supporting the snow wolf tribe." The dwarf king stroked his beard, his eyes flashed... Don't look at the protagonist of the travel notes is the forest elf, long-term The dwarf king who dealt with the forest elves knew very well that those green-skinned pointed ears had no such ability at all-the elf mountains across the continent blocked the connection between the western continent and the northern continent, and most of the land in the elf forest also In the mountains, what the forest elves can do is to use a small amount of flat land to grow food as much as possible. They don't live in extremely cold areas, and their population is only a few hundred thousand more than the snow elves.

In other words... the dwarf king could guess with his knees that it was the snow wolves who really came up with a solution, and the forest elves were the protagonists, but the snow wolves didn't have enough weight.

This also made the dwarf king doubtful: "How did those orcs and barbarians become so smart? Could it be that they found the inheritance? But this doesn't make sense. Isn't the inheritance of the group of orcs and barbarians just how to fight? Teach people to farm!"

Unable to figure it out, the Dwarf King left it behind...Last year, he bought a lot of soy sauce produced by the Snow Wolf clan through the forest elves, which greatly eased the shortage of salt in the Western Continent—four copper coins per catty of soy sauce is enough for a dwarf family In the past month, this price is really unconscionable compared to the silver-denominated salt shipped by the Lamia Merchant Group. In this matter, the Dwarf King has a good impression of the Snow Wolf Clan, even if the Snow Wolf It doesn't feel like the clan really recovered the inheritance and inherited the dwarf king.

"The Travels of the Gourmet Hunter" and "The Travels of the Elven Ranger and His Friends of the Snow Wolf Clan" have only published two issues, and they have aroused extensive attention from readers of different levels. The dining habits of countless people have been changed within two months—those who love spicy food are loyal fans of cold-eating rabbit, those who love sweet and sour taste can’t stop eating the magical cuisine of sweet and sour; third-rate cooks and even ordinary New dishes made by housewives and maids according to meticulous recipes can beat conventional food, making many people shout what kind of pig food they used to eat...

The two recipes are obviously not enough to satisfy the foodies who discover the new world. There are not a few people who are curious about what magical agricultural technology the elf ranger Kleist and the snow werewolf Hongye can spread; Come to the day when "Travel to the Mainland" is released——

"Apology: Because the author, Ayun of the Snow Wolf Clan, went out to collect materials and did not return after the deadline, this issue of "The Travels of the Gourmet Hunter" and "The Travels of the Elf Ranger and His Friends of the Snow Wolf Clan" will be suspended for one issue."

"puff--"

Countless catering business owners and cooks who rushed to the door of the bookstore before dawn sprayed blood.

"[Muffling]—"

The adventurers who lived by referring to these two travel notes sweared out their hometown dialects in various dialects and accents.

"Cough cough cough cough cough——!!"

In the Royal Palace of St. Bridge, Prince Carlisle coughed loudly.

"..."

In the dwarf kingdom, the dwarf king holding the travel notes in one hand twitched his facial muscles, and his thick and short fingers grabbed the handle of the artifact war hammer at his waist.

Elven Forest, King City Stephens, the Elf Queen sat on the sofa in an elegant and clean home robe, and stayed there for about three seconds after opening the cover of the travel notes.

"Is it because Anas placed too many orders for the Snow Wolf Clan, leaving this Ayun with no time to write?" Her Royal Highness looked at the female officer displeased.

"Uh..." The female officer was speechless... She had a lot of work to do to assist the queen, how could she have the time to pay attention to a small country town like Anas?

Today is still a fiery tribe in full swing.

Xiao Yun sat cross-legged on the kang, with a charcoal pen in one hand and a steel ruler in the other, he slowly drew the planning plan for the third phase of the expansion of the tribe on the bark paper, and said in a loud voice: "So I'm telling you, the thing called inspiration is It's very important, if you can't make it up, you can't make it up, you can't rush, you can only wait, otherwise there will be no more rush, don't you know? Making up stories is not drawing blueprints or doing construction, rushing to work can always force a result, How can this kind of stream of consciousness be so wide-ranging~~~~”

Evelyn, who was on the opposite side of the Kang table, had a face full of tears...

"Besides, the first two stories have already shown the sincerity of our elves and snow wolves. People who read the stories can already understand our style of food and agriculture that we don't keep secrets. Why don't we take a break for one or two issues? What does it matter~~How old is Bloomfield, I don't believe that someone can come to trouble our cub~Okay, don't get in the way in front of me, we will start construction work again in spring, my plan The picture has to be done quickly, very busy~!"

"You still want to rest for another period?!" Evelyn, who was physically and mentally exhausted, took a step to hear the meaning of Xiao Yun's words, and she was immediately terrified.

"What's this? People who have been out of publication for a few years live a good life. I only plan to suspend publication for two issues, which is already very moral." Xiao Yun didn't care.

Evelyn took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "It's best not to... Teacher Ayun, this time the suspension of publication has already caused the Bard Association to suffer a lot, and the number of letters scolding them sent to various branches is frightening - suspend two issues Something will happen!"

Xiao Yun chuckled, "It's none of my business, dead friends don't die poor daoists."

It's just a draft, what a big deal!You can't even send blades to him!He didn't believe that someone would come all the way to block him!

Full of confidence, Xiao Yun devoted himself wholeheartedly to the work of the tribe, directing the new laborers who had just adapted to the work rhythm; the soldiers who had gone out for training returned and brought good news that a group of tribes in the central region would move in and integrate after the spring. Xiao Yun immediately began to write the construction plan for the new district, and he was very busy - the new district should be built, the fields should be expanded, the drainage and flood control work should continue to be extended, and the classification of work should be further refined; When it is used on the cutting edge, we must resolutely put an end to any waste of human resources!

Work sucks!

If he was so busy working until the snow melted in spring, Xiao Yun immediately organized people to extend and cultivate the fields on both sides of the river bank, and he would not give up until the farmland was dug to stretch as far as the eye could see; At that moment, a group of black-skinned elves emerged from the ground and blocked the way of the land reclamation team.

"Damn it, you guys found out that you drained water into the underground world?!" Xiao Yun saw clearly that those black-skinned pointed-eared people were showing unkind faces, and his heart immediately thumped.

"Where is Ayun from the Snow Wolf Clan? Who is Ayun from the Snow Wolf Clan?!" The big-breasted dark elf headed by shouted with a dark face.

Mu Muding, who was in the front and carried the triangular plow in a wolf shape, had no consciousness of covering Xiao Yun at all, and turned his head to look at Xiao Yun suspiciously.

The big-breasted dark elf immediately got into the crowd, rushed in front of Xiao Yun in a very slippery manner, and slapped his slender fingers on Xiao Yun's nose angrily: "It turned out to be you——didn't you go out to collect materials!! You big liar!!"

Xiao Yun: "??"
