The correct way to open the elf

Chapter 136: Cattail

Johnson was reading the record of the transaction with the goblins to Feng Yu.

It turns out that these goblins belong to the Northern Alliance of the Goblin Merchant Alliance, just like the Pate brothers.

These goblins knew that the Pate brothers had found a good source of goods, but after waiting for a long time and seeing that the Pate brothers never returned to their base, they guessed that the two brothers must have taken the caravan directly to "retail".

In order to prevent the two brothers from occupying more customers, the goblins in the base also took action, searching along the route of Pete and others.

Finally, at the second stop, the Dwarf Kingdom, we learned that the Cattail City Camp in the lower reaches of the Lengshui River produced a large amount of high-quality salt and exquisite utensils, so we rushed over at full speed.

Feng Yu did not ask about the details of the transaction. He knew the nature of the goblins. These guys spent two days here before making the transaction, most likely because they had been trying to persuade Illya and Johnson a lot.

Unfortunately, Feng Yu set a fixed price, and the goblins finally had no choice but to hand over all their silver coins and run to the wealthy human kingdom with the goods.

With the high-altitude reconnaissance satellite Grand Mage Anthony coming online and the well-equipped Cattail City Guards launching indiscriminate bombings, the originally domineering natives in the Great Wasteland are in big trouble.

I was just staying at home when I heard a sharp scream from the sky. Before I could react, my home was gone to the sky with me.

Some of the lone rangers who fight alone are not in a good situation either. Old man Anthony was injured in the Elf Forest and has been enduring for hundreds of years. Now he finally comes out to stretch his muscles. How can those who are alone compete with him?

Old man Anthony flew into the sky relying on the powerful magic of the grand mage level, and with one hand wrapped in thorns and the use of wooden spears, he made the lone strong men who were dominating the wilderness scream in pain.

Mason watched his tribesmen being brought to the camp by boat and starting to work with the engineering team. He felt relieved and headed north with supplies and a team of soldiers to the magnetite area of ​​the Cyclops camp to officially begin mining magnetite.

Feng Yu asked Dick: "Master Mason, how many dwarves of the Giant Rock Clan are you going to leave behind?"

Dick said, "Except for the three hundred miners and some of their families, plus fifty soldiers, the rest will stay in our camp."

Feng Yu was shocked: "All left behind?"

"Yes, didn't you say you were short of people? Mason told me that he wanted to let the tribe live here and only take some of them to mine, so I agreed.

What's wrong, too much?"

Feng Yu shook his head and said, "Master Mason is a ruthless man. He actually left all his people in the camp."

Dick said, "You'd be a fool to leave. What else is there besides the magnetite mine? If they get there, they'll just have to rely on selling some of the magnetite, and transportation is difficult, so they'll still have to live frugally.

It’s different in the camp. There’s good food and shelter, the dwarves can go to school, and a woman can stay behind to support the whole family.

If you didn't need magnetite, I don't think Mason would have planned to leave. He would have brought his entire clan to follow us.

This time, most of the people he brought with him were young and strong miners. They were doing mining as a job, but they had no intention of settling down there. "

Feng Yu flipped through his notebook and said, "There's something wrong!"

Dick asked hurriedly, "Can't we leave so many Giant Rock people behind?"

Feng Yu shook his head and said, "I'll call Alan and the others over later and we'll have a small meeting."

As he said that, he arranged for people to look for his assistants Illya and Johnson, as well as Alan, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

Alan was the last one to arrive, holding a cloth bag that was bulging with something unknown. He shook the bag at Feng Yu as he entered the room.

Feng Yu asked: "What treasure?"

Alan didn't keep the secret, and said as he took something out of his pocket, "You've been spending a lot of time at the research institute lately, and you haven't been to the farmland to take a look. What is this?!"

Feng Yu recognized it at first sight. After all, this thing was his first impression of the Great Wilderness.

"Ears of cattail!"

Allen smiled and said, "Yes, this is the ear of cattail, and it is the ear of cattail in our paddy field."

Dick said in surprise: "This thing works?"

Alan nodded and said, "Although there were some minor problems, it was still planted. At first we planned to transplant the cattails from the riverside into the paddy fields, but it was difficult for them to survive."

Dick smiled and said, "It's a miracle if they can survive. The shallow water where the cattails grow by the river is freezing cold. The water in the paddy field only takes half a day, and it will burn your feet if you go in again."

Alan said in surprise: "I didn't expect that a chubby boy like you could see things clearly. Yes, I guess that's the reason. Later we adopted Darren's method, using seeds to grow seedlings and then planting them in paddy fields.

The cattails by the river can only mature once a year, but I found that the cattails in the paddy fields matured shortly after the corn was harvested, and the ears were fuller than those by the river.

Not only that, these cattails are not only mature, but are also constantly branching and heading. It looks like we may have to harvest them until winter comes in the wilderness. I didn’t expect this thing to be more productive than corn.”

Feng Yu was surprised and said, "Is it really possible?"

Allen said, "Sure, of course. The first cattails we planted have already been harvested twice, and they are still producing ears!"

Dick exclaimed loudly: "My great land, won't we be able to eat delicious fragrant snow rice every day like human nobles?"

Feng Yu said, "Paddy fields are originally yellow soil with poor fertility. If the cattails keep growing, will the fertility in the fields be able to keep up?"

Allen pointed at Dick and said, "Listen, it's Brother Darren who thinks things through. You only know how to eat."

Dick was too lazy to pay attention to Allen and said, "Anyway, I want to eat Xiangxue rice, no matter how you grow the crops!"

Allen rolled his eyes at Dick and said, "I have arranged for halflings to clean toilets in the industrial residential area one by one. Combined with the livestock manure from the farmers, I think it should be enough."

Feng Yu thought for a moment and said, "The small fish along the river like to eat plants and animal feces, so we can raise some in the paddy fields.

Then they catch some wild geese, cut off their wing feathers and raise them in the fields. The wild geese eat fish, leeches and other things as well as weeds in the paddy fields, and their feces are more effective in fertilizing the fields.

Moreover, wild geese have delicious meat and can be eaten when they are grown up. Their eggs are also much larger than the eggs of your halfling chickens, and are also a top delicacy."

Allen said in surprise: "Oh my god, can you raise it like this?"

Feng Yu smiled and said, "Of course. We still raise frogs in the paddy fields. Frogs specialize in eating small insects in the paddy fields. They can prevent insect pests in the paddy fields, and frog meat is also delicious."
