In the morning, the sun rises high and scorching the earth.

Away from the coastline, walking on the mountain road to the town, Natsukaze and Maruyama chatted non-stop.

"Maruyama, have you ever heard of a tractor?"

"Drag..... Drag what? All I know is the mop. ”

"It's a mechanical agricultural tool that can be used to plow, harvest, or pull heavy things."

Maruyama had obviously never heard of tractors, but as a descendant of a master builder, his understanding of tools was also excellent, and he could probably understand the type of things that Natsukaze was talking about.

"I haven't seen anything like that, but I've heard that the large fishing boat of the Nishinomiya family has a mechanical netting device, and tons of fishing nets can be pulled up effortlessly, more than the pulling force of a cow."

"Oh, machine, of course."

"That's amazing."

"That's not a big deal, if it's driven by source stones, not to mention tons of fishing nets, even a huge city can move on land."

Maruyama's smile was awkward but polite, and that expression was like saying, "You keep blowing, I'll listen." ”

....

The people of the East are aware of natural disasters and the existence of ore diseases, but it is clear that they do not know the true power of the source stone.

Of course, there is nothing surprising about this, and they should not be ridiculed for it.

If it weren't for the shepherd who first discovered the mystery of the source stone, I am afraid that today's world science and technology power is still on the way to explore, and the explosive rise of the source stone technology system will have to go back for I don't know how many years.

Xia Feng believes that as countries around the world gradually resume maritime interaction, it will not take a few years for the scientific and technological level of the eastern country to be raised.

However, the price is that the three-legged form will inevitably collapse.

With the effective resolution of transportation, communications, science and technology, energy and other issues, there will be no forces that will cede power due to lack of ability, and a family must have the final say.

....

Along the way, Xia Feng and Maruyama Tiannan Haibei talked nonsense, and the relationship between the two became very familiar.

Unlike the older generation in Minamino Village, Maruyama is a relatively "avant-garde" young man, so he can understand most of the unheard things that Xia Feng said in his own way.

Gradually, he also discovered that what Xia Feng said about the mobile city-state seemed to be true.

"Kazetaro, are there really dozens of stories in Victoria?"

"Of course there is, hey, don't call me Kazetaro, this is Uncle Minamino's screaming, my name is Xia Feng, Fire Feather Xia Feng."

"Oh."

Maruyama pondered for a moment, and the topic suddenly became strange.

"By the way, Xia Feng, are you married?"

"Nope."

"The girl you live with?"

Xia Feng took out the kettle and took a sip.

"Oh, that's my sister, she's called Firefeather Bagpipes."

Hearing that Xia Feng was not married, Maruyama seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and then, he said solemnly.

"Xia Feng, I think you are a very good person, you have a good temper, you are good, and you are knowledgeable, my sister is at the age of marriage this year, do you want to think about it?"

"Poof!"

Xia Feng wiped his mouth.

"Hey, do you people in Nanno Village like to be matchmakers so much?"

Maruyama didn't mean to joke, but was serious.

"It's not a matchmaker, the person I'm talking about is my own sister, she is very beautiful, except for her temper, she should be quite a match for you."

"Ahem, I don't plan to get married yet."

"Oh, it doesn't matter, I'm not forcing marriage, but she is arguing all day long to get married, and she can't look down on the men in the surrounding villages, otherwise, you guys will try to contact and contact first?"

The summer breeze cuts the railway.

"Forget it, I'm very self-aware, so don't delay your sister's time, it's impossible."

Maruyama is instead in the mud.

"This person can't just rely on his own imagination, you think you are very bad, maybe in the eyes of others, your shortcomings are all advantages."

"Maruyama, it's really not suitable."

"You don't know each other yet, how do you know it's not appropriate?"

"Don't be, I'm a person who likes to be quiet."

"That's good, when the time comes, the two of you can go to the secluded beach to stroll, chat, watch the sunrise and sunset, if it's really not suitable, you can also be ordinary friends, you say yes."

At this moment, Xia Feng felt that Maruyama Zushang didn't seem to be a carpenter, but a salesman.

Faced with Maruyama's enthusiastic promotion of his own sister, he was speechless to refute.

"Ahem, let's get back to it."

"Okay, that's settled."

“？？？”

....

This is the first time in Xia Feng's life that he has been forced to go on a blind date, how to say it, although it is embarrassing, but it feels quite fresh.

Yes, men should get married, women should get married, this is the life of ordinary people.

Of course, he would not have married a girl from Minamino Village, and the next time his friends from far away in Victoria came to see him, they found a bunch of little dolls running all over the ground, and I was afraid that he would not be laughed off.

....

After a morning of walking on the mountain road, this magical town has finally arrived.

This is the only town around the south coast of Xichuan, and to put it seriously, it is called a trade hub, and the name of the town is Nanwan Town.

A few decades ago, Nanwan Town was not a town, but called Nanwan Village, and its population was about the same as that of Nanye Village, with only a few dozen households.

With the development of time, the villagers of the surrounding villages gradually pursued the quality of life, such as the diversity of food, the balance of nutrition, including clothing, pendants, farming tools, production materials and so on.

If there is a demand, it is natural to need to interact, and exchange what you have for what you don't have.

From the geographical point of view, Nanwan Village belongs to the center of the entire south coast of Xichuan, close to the village near the sea, and not far from the village in the deep mountains.

The most important thing is that the carriage in the interior of Xichuan can barely reach here, and the world, is focused on you.

In this way, because of the huge flow of people, Nanwan Village has become Nanwan Town, and even subtly formed a commercial street, of course, the so-called commercial street is similar to the night market.

Here, you can not only see the specialties of all the villages on the south coast, but also buy "high-end" goods from the mainland, such as apple candy, a folk snack unique to Dongzhou.

Although the total population of a dozen villages on the entire south coast is not as large as that of a large inland town, as long as there is a market, there will be merchants, even if the market is very small and the profit is very small.

In order to live, there are always people who will try.

....

After walking into the town, looking at the tattered commercial street, Xia Feng can be said to be a little disappointed.

How to put it, if it is placed in Victoria, with the size of this town, it is called a village.

But he didn't come to buy a house, but to buy raw materials for building a house, regardless of the black cat and white cat, if he can catch mice, he is a good cat, as long as he can get what he needs here, it doesn't matter how simple it is.

Along the way, they ran out of water, and under Maruyama's leadership, they first went to the well in the town to fill it with water.

The people on the south coast of Xichuan are simple, but as the so-called those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to ink are black, under the interference of inland merchants, the people here have also become interest-oriented.

When I came to the well, two large water tanks were already loaded with water from the well.

Xia Feng was just about to start filling the kettle when a shirtless man next to him stopped him.

"Hey, I haven't seen you, you're not from the town."

Xia Feng replied honestly.

"It's not."

"Not? You have to charge money for fetching water. ”

"Oh, how much?"

"Ordinary 2 copper, cool 5 copper."

"What is ordinary and what is cool?"

The man guarding the well had a dogtail in his mouth.

"What is in the water tank is ordinary, and what is freshly shot from the deep well is cold."

"How much cold can 5 copper hit?"

"Whatever, how much can you pretend?"

"But all I need is a kettle."

"That's also 5 copper, you can drink it first and then fill it with water."

“.......”

Xia Feng took out 5 copper coins.

"Give."

After putting the money in his pocket, the man guarding the well lifted Erlang's legs and used his mouth to nu the bucket with a rope tied to the well.

"Alright, you can fight it yourself."

"I ......"
