Chapter 44 Dinner(1/2)
I picked up a handful of wool from Yuan Poshui's body. Although it was not fat, it was still very satisfying in the morning.
After the crowd dispersed, Ying Xiu and Yue Xing followed the people to visit Chaowen, and continued to sort out the magic weapons they brought with them morning after morning.
Yuan Boshui watched from the side, wanting to see what other treasures Pu Feng had. When he saw Zhuchen setting up a mountain guarding sword array that was bigger than Xuntian City, he completely lost his voice.
Convinced. Nothing else.
His disciples came over and asked him when he could leave. Yuan Poshui sneered and said, "It depends on how happy they are."
The disciple paled: "Doesn't it mean that you won't be able to leave for a while? But I think the attitude of the Chaowen people towards you is quite kind. If you explain to them well, can you resign safely?"
Yuan Poshui slowly turned his head and glanced at him: "When people are still willing to be polite to you, you should be sensible. Otherwise, you won't be able to reap the benefits if they lose their patience. Look at those two Pu Feng, they are really easy to mess with.
?”
He felt a pain in his heart as he said that. Now there is no good fruit to eat.
Disappointed disciple: "Ah... what can we do?"
Everyone in Xuntian Master's sect is filled with gloom and gloom.
This wolf den, how should I say it? They still feel that they have broken into it in a mysterious way.
You have obviously been so cautious, but what went wrong?
The only thing Yuan Poshui could comfort himself with was that he still had some savings. If Zhuchen wanted to ask him for money, he would have to let him go first. He was safe.
Not far away, Zhuchen opened the blind box and placed the magic weapons, and found that Pu Feng was very creative and thoughtful. After giving her so many valuable things, he did not forget to equip her with a powerful security system.
Of course, she felt that no matter how powerful the security system was, it would not be as effective as Feng Buye. The presence of Feng Buye could stop children from crying and thieves from causing trouble. It could also make people reflect on themselves and become "Buddhas" immediately, which was only a little worse than a saint.
Look at Yuan Poshui and his gang, don’t they look like Buddhas now? The effect is simply excellent.
After Zhuchen had dealt with all the magic weapons that could be placed, he immediately ran back to the house happily to count the money.
Zhuchen already had a rough plan on how to use the spiritual stones sent by Yue Xing.
The first priority is of course the payment of wages. She still owes a lot of money to the people and monks, so during this period everyone was working in vain.
The second step is to buy some commonly used iron tools.
In Xiuxian Continent, where the iron smelting industry is not very prosperous, better iron tools are still very expensive. She would like to enter this industry, but the reality is a bit cruel.
Iron smelting requires heating a block of iron to high temperatures and then forging it multiple times to squeeze out impurities in order to improve the quality of the iron. This is the so-called smelting into steel. This method has low output, is time-consuming, and has high costs. With their current technology, it is still
Unable to learn.
Or use a higher-quality high-temperature forging furnace and raise the temperature to above 1,400 degrees to smelt pig iron. This not only has less impurities, but also has good quality and high productivity. Unfortunately, she can't do the same because she doesn't have such high temperature.
There are no furnaces, mature craftsmen, or enough iron ore. There are even less manpower to mine iron ore.
Therefore she can only buy finished products.
Zhuchen wanted to buy a better set of kitchen utensils for the people. The kitchen knives in most people's homes were so dull that they had sharp edges, but they couldn't buy new ones. To cut meat on weekdays, they had to grind them for a long time.
Another batch of farm tools need to be customized to improve the current level of tools. Chaowen relies entirely on manpower to cultivate farmland. Those hoes and axes are already old, and the tools for plowing are also very backward. She saw several farmers carrying heavy plows on their backs.
Walking hard in the dry and hard fields, the skin all over the body was blistered, but the efficiency of the hard work all day was not very high.
Then the small wooden cart needs to be reinforced with metal to prevent it from breaking.
Zhang Shiwen and others also have to change their clothes when eating. What is a craftsman without a handy tool? Are you fighting against the sky?
After doing some calculations, I discovered in the morning that all the pots and pans were filled with money. Adding up the sums and the number of people, it was a big deal.
In addition, some other goods must be imported.
Cloths, quilts, soap locusts, food, and all kinds of daily necessities are not available in Chaowen. They can barely survive in the short term, but over time they become unbearable.
Fortunately, Yu Yuan's business model has taken shape, and it can be considered self-sufficient. Chaowen's supplies are poor and productivity is lacking, so she needs to invest money to fill the gap for the time being.
So she plans to open a department store to control prices and support early business development.
After a casual calculation and deductions in the morning, there are very few hundred thousand spiritual stones left. The remaining part must be reserved for emergencies.
This time of wealth was too short. Zhuchen almost cried while hugging the exquisite eight-treasure bag. But she had no intention of going to Yuexing again to ask for money. What she wanted to build was not a Pufeng branch, but a special Chaowen branch.
I tidied up my account books early in the morning, stuffed them under my pillow, and walked out again.
The head of Xuntian is outside. As the saying goes, money is like milk, you can get more if you squeeze it. She needs to entertain him well.
There was a commotion and constant shouting in the square. When Zhuchen got closer, he found that it was Feng Changyin and the people from Chaowen who were killing the monsters.
The briquettes that have been raised for more than half a month have gained a lot of weight. After all, they are eating well and not exercising, so it is normal for them to become plump.
Not to mention, after the coal briquettes had their hair removed, they still looked pretty and pretty. Their skin was fair, with tiny pores, and was so tender that it looked like you could pinch water out of it. It was very deceptive as a delicacy.
It also has great development potential. It is round and chubby, twice as heavy as an adult pig, and its meat yield seems to be very high.
Yingxiu and others were curious and mixed in with the crowd to watch.
Zheng Kang was the strongest and was sent to be the first World of Warcraft butcher. With the big iron knife in his hand, he scratched the belly of the coal ball over and over again, but failed to completely cut open the belly.
I sweated profusely after watching it in the morning, and moved forward my shopping schedule.
Feng Changyin couldn't stand it anymore and took the initiative to donate his long sword.
He is a monk who specializes in killing. He has killed many monsters and is not afraid of using his sword as a butcher's knife.
Zheng Kang was not good at using the sword, so he made room for him and taught him how to feel the bones and then cut along the bones.
The junior brother was eager to give it a try, rolled up his sleeves and tied them tightly, breathed into the palm of his hand, took a decent stance, then covered the sword blade with sword energy, and stabbed the prey in the abdomen.
This sword is extremely sharp, cutting iron silently, and cuts through the thick flesh of the monster as easily as cutting through a piece of paper.
With a smooth operation, Feng Changyin quickly decomposed the meat from each part, which was quite like the pleasure of a cook deconstructing a cow.
The crowd applauded and praised him highly. The young man wiped the blade of his sword and shyly waved in all directions in response.
Yingxiu said with a smile: "Junior brother, what weird things did you learn in Chaowen?"
Feng Changyin said proudly: "I learned a lot of social things!"
Yingxiu: "Ah?"
Zhuchen hurriedly covered Feng Changyin's mouth and took him outside: "Haha, get ready to cook. By the time the meat is ready, it will be almost dark."
Everyone hurriedly got into action, boiling water and setting up stoves.
Several cooks observed the meat quality of different parts of the monster, briefly discussed the cooking method, and each took a few cuts of meat and went to work.
Not long after, the aroma of barbecue, braised pork, sauerkraut stew, and all kinds of enticing flavors came from all directions.
Even if the monks didn't need to eat, they were still in a trance by this combo meal.
Yingxiu couldn't help but look in the direction of the rising smoke, feeling so happy that she was about to faint.
The Xuntian monks were also looking forward to it very much. They gave up their thoughts of leaving and squatted on the ground waiting for the meal to begin.
As a result, Yuan Poshui quickly informed them of the bad news that they had no food to eat.
Xuntian's disciples were immediately so sad that tears flowed from the corners of their mouths.
They made a mistake and could punish them directly. Why do they need to kill people and punish them like this?
After nightfall, Chaowen's dinner finally began.
In fact, Zhuchen did not require everyone to gather together to eat. After the independent houses were built, everyone would go back to their own houses to eat. Only when guests came, would they move the dining table outside to gather together.
The tabletop of the row of long tables was now filled with dinner plates. There were wine, vegetables, meat, and after-dinner fruits. All kinds of bright colors were put together, and there was still a white mist of heat, which made people feel...
People move their index fingers.
Zhuchen stood in front of the table and rolled his eyes twice. He had to admit that this was the most luxurious and sumptuous dinner in Chaowen's history.
She took a sip to keep up her appearance.
Thank you to Pu Fengzong for your friendly sponsorship. I hope they will come to visit often in the future. Our friendship will last forever!
When everyone arrived, Zhuchen raised his hand and motioned for everyone to sit down and eat while it was hot.
In the middle of each table, there is a piece of charcoal-grilled monster meat. However, Zhuchen's table has spare ribs, which are several times larger than those on other tables.
Seeing that there was plenty of food and the people at the table were monks who didn't need to eat, Yingxiu wanted to be polite. After sitting down, she didn't get the chopsticks immediately. Instead, she found a wine glass and chatted with Zhuchen.
As a result, the little junior brother next to her suddenly snatched away the biggest bone she was interested in. Yingxiu immediately lost her skill, dropped her wine glass, and followed Feng Changyin to grab the food.
The plastics industry is in jeopardy.
Zhuchen scooped up a bowl of soup and took a bite of the meatballs.
The juice in the meat filling splashed out with her movements, with a hint of hotness, flowing on the tip of her tongue.
Zhuchen instantly shuddered, as if he had returned to the modern gourmet society.
The meat has neither fishy nor pungent smell, but instead has a unique freshness. The soup base is light in color and extremely rich in taste. Because it is slowly stewed with sycamore wood water, the aftertaste has a refreshing sweetness without any trace of odor.
Appears greasy.
It’s been so many years! In a world lacking in seasonings, it’s like a dream to have such a meal of meat.
Wiping the corners of her eyes in the morning, she felt a little wet on her knuckles, but she couldn't control it.
She had doubted the briquettes before, but she was wrong. The briquettes were as good as they appeared on the outside. Although they were not as cute as pigs, they were more delicious than pigs.
