Chapter 109. The beginning of the sugar workshop
Thinking and communication systems.
The two cards in Kant's mind suddenly turned into golden shatters.
The flow of data spreads, emanating from Kant's eyes, but before he can arrange it, it has already been concretely formed.
Five chicken coops made of straw and timber, about half a man tall, are placed side by side on the west side of the wall, next to the wall area, next to a canal that construction workers are carefully compacting and paving with stone bricks and slabs.
"Goo-goo..."
The sound of chickens crowing in the nest kept ringing, and Kant could even see that at the small doors of the five chicken nests, a few small heads were coming out, with brown feathers and black pearl-like eyes, looking around inquiringly, looking at the construction workers who were still busy not far away and whispering a few times, which was very eccentric.
"There are bees, there are a lot, oops, be careful!"
In the date palm grove, the peasants who were still holding tools to loosen the soil exclaimed, and they didn't care that they were still working, so they threw down their farming tools and covered their heads and ran out, and just above their heads, small dots like flying insects were circling.
Kant turned his head to see that in the middle of the date grove, 10 wooden boxes were being placed.
It was the artificial beehive that was mastered and studied by the Swadia beeherders.
When I arrived at the new place, the desert bees were fluttering their wings and flying out of the hive, buzzing sounds, even towards the entire date palm grove, and even the desert outside the wall, as if to find out where this was.
On the edge of the date palm grove, farmers are also looking inside worriedly.
Desert bees swarm like black clouds, and there are no less than a thousand.
"Twitter."
Just as this group of desert bees had just flown away from the date palm forest, several small birds that had been living in the sentry oasis flew out, took a bee in their mouths, and when they landed on the branches, they stretched their necks and ate them into their stomachs, tilting their little heads, and flew back into the bee colony, obviously treating these desert bees as insects that came from nowhere.
But these small birds have not flown a few times to eat many desert bees, just as they swept past the chicken nest, the brown figure "clucked" and flapped its wings, pressed directly under the body, pecked a few times with a hard beak with its neck down, and then lost its life.
It is a male sand grouse with a crown on his head and a sturdy body.
Behind them are a relatively smaller, but extremely well-proportioned female sand grouse, all of them are "cooing" and looking around suspiciously, flapping their wings and not afraid of people, pecking at the sand on the ground by themselves.
5 males and 45 females.
Kant swept over the five chicken coops and couldn't help but shake his head and smile self-deprecatingly at the happy life of the five roosters.
"It's not as alive as a chicken." He complained helplessly.
Although the development of the territory must be complete with women, but now the sentry oasis is still in the early stage of development, women are a burden, even if Kant really wants to have some women, to add some feminine women to the "Drehem" who are all men, then the system must be given, as for the native women in this world, Kant can be trusted, and he will not bring them back at all.
Before killing the woman with ulterior motives, Kant was based on this psychology.
Shaking his head, he didn't take this matter to heart.
The farmers standing outside the date palm grove were a little stunned, because the swarms of bees "buzzed" and flew over their heads, but did not attack them.
"These desert bees, don't sting us."
Some peasants suddenly realized, and their eyes brought out a bit of happiness.
Although the desert bees are not the most poisonous bees, they still have unbearable pain for more than ten days when they sting, and if it is not necessary, no one wants to go near the location of these bees, lest they be stung and hurt all over their bodies.
Now these bees don't sting, which really brings smiles to the faces of these farmers.
So they can continue into the date palm grove and pick up their tools and get to work.
"Somebody will bring some grain."
Kant also stretched out his hand to greet the peasant next to him, and instructed him: "Go to the warehouse and get some grain, and the task of feeding these grouses every day will be left to you, I hope there will be no mistakes." ”
"Yes, my lord." The farmer nodded respectfully.
The grain was brought in quickly, and it was all plump and fine wheat, which was more than enough to make white bread.
Now that there are these grouse, Kant is not going to be stingy.
As the farmers sprinkled the wheat grains one by one, a total of 50 grouse grouses, cooing, rushed to peck at the wheat grains on the ground, and soon the small half bag of wheat grains was sprinkled out, and these grouse's grouses also straightened up with satisfaction, occasionally bowed their heads and pecked at the sand grains to help digestion, and walked in all directions, as if patrolling their own territory.
Although there was a gap of one metre on the left and right sides of the wall, the grouse's grouse did not escape.
Occasionally, the grouse enters the vicinity of the lake and the grass beach, and with the shouts of the peasants, it will not take long for all of them to return.
It's like a domestic chicken that has been raised for a long time.
Kant looked at the chicken nest and the hive with satisfaction, which was worthy of the reward given by the system, and fully implemented the sentence that the system must be a high-quality product, and fundamentally abandoned the trouble of Kant to continue to domesticate.
"And a card."
Raising his head slightly, Kant's eyes swept over the many luxuriant date palm trees.
The lush verdant appearance adds an intoxicating greenery to the earthy desert, while the straight tree above the slender leaves looks empty, as if something is missing.
Fresh dates have been picked, and there are still dried dates in the pantry.
For the sentry oasis, which lacks fruit, dates, which are very high in sugar, are a popular good.
At the end of almost every meal, each person will be given 3 dates as a snack.
The delicious sweetness fills the mouth, and the soft feeling is like the finest sugar bread, which is an intoxicating dessert after a meal, but also a reward for a hard day's work, and a highly effective source of energy to replenish the tired body.
The corners of Kant's mouth curled slightly: "There will be honey to eat in the future." ”
The mind connects the card in his mind, and the golden card instantly bursts out with countless dense data streams.
Just like a gust of wind, it appeared from the mysterious void, blowing through all the 5 acres of the entire date palm forest, and a lot of data stuck to the date palm tree, but when the data flow disappeared, dense white flowers were swaying under the emerald green slender leaves.
And right in the middle of the white flowers, the small fruit is taking shape.
The entire agricultural area is filled with the sweet aroma of date palm trees in bloom.
The desert bees, which were still flying in disorder, gathered in an instant, buzzed their wings and fluttered into the white flowers, covered with pollen on the stamens, before flying towards their hives.
Obviously, this is the most common honey harvesting life of desert bees.
"With honey and dates, maybe the sugar mill will be able to arrange for people to work."
Kant looked at the desert bees coming and going in the hive, and thought to himself.
Due to the scarcity of raw materials, as well as the lack of personnel, no sugar production has been started at the moment.
However, the only sugar that can be made in the sugar mill is date sugar, but according to the Salanders, this sugar is actually ground into a powder and used as a condiment or for drinking.
"Open the building interface." Kantian Thinking Communication System.
retina on the retina dialog box pops up.
[Sugar Workshop: Civil Building. A cottage made of wood with all the tools inside. Farmers are stationed in it, and the raw materials consumed can be used to make various types of sugars. Currently available: Date Sugar, Honey, Honey Date Sugar. 】
Kant raised an eyebrow.
After the date sugar, which could only be made, there were two kinds of sugars that could be made.
But looking at the simple words, Kant also smiled wryly.
It is simply honey and honey mixed with date sugar, and in a sense, it is not as good as the real sugars of white sugar and maltose, and it also belongs to the concept of ingredients.
【Ding... Temporary Task Release]
[Temporary Mission: The Beginning of the Sugar Workshop]
[Reward: Peasant Woman×50]
[Introduction: Sugar is an expensive luxury, and to some extent it is worth more than salt. Now that you have the ingredients, you might want to try making any of them. Of course, if you craft a high enough level of sugar, congratulations, you have one more valuable output in your realm that can be used as a trade item. Want to give it a try? You should probably try this delicious luxury, which is a temptation that is hard to resist. 】
The temporary task dialog box of the system popped up directly in Kant's eyes.
"Peasant woman?" Kant was shaken.
He didn't care about this mission, but swept directly to the task reward, after all, this mission reward was an unexpected female peasant woman, not a male farmer.
With a wry smile on the corner of his mouth, Kant found that it was estimated that the system could not stand it, and his territory was only male.
But if you think about it, you know.
Now there are more chores.
Whether it's feeding grouse, or tidying up the hive, it's easier for an attentive woman to do it.
There is also work in the kitchen, including work in the sugar mill, and peasant women are much better than peasants who are more suitable for manual work, and the appearance of peasant women at this time is just right for the present situation.
"In that case."
Kant chuckled, and of course he chose to accept the task.
It's just a technique to make date honey candy, which is not too difficult for those Salanders in the desert.
