Chapter 55 Expanding edibles
Cecil doesn't have any special experience in farming. The main problem is that antibiotics bring huge advantages in modern farming, and he can't meet this condition.
There is an old saying in the countryside, "If you have a lot of wealth, you can't count the fur." Under the ancient conditions such as land and planting, you can still find a way. In terms of breeding, warmth, feed, etc., the difference between ancient and modern times is not particularly obvious. The difference lies in the modern Great advances in pharmacy brought about by industry.
As a result, the lifespan of humans and animals has been significantly increased, and the number of animals that humans can eat has also increased significantly...
Cecil really can't do anything about modern medicine, at least not now.
"Is there any magic that can cure the sickness of farmed animals?" Cecil looked at Langdon.
"Are you sure you want to use magic to cure the diseases of the farmed animals?" Langdon asked back. "Is there anything special about cooking such animals?"
"..."
Well, I'm stupid, but hey, maybe I can use this method to collect IQ tax in the future?
Putting aside this evil thought, Cecil pondered for a while and said, "Why don't we raise them first, are there any chickens here?"
"No." Langdon said.
"duck?"
"What's that?" Carroll asked.
Cecil was silent for a few seconds and asked, "Pig?"
"Oh, I know that!" Carroll finally had a chance to interject, "There is a herd of wild boars within a three-hour walk."
"Oh!" Cecil said excitedly, "How much?"
"There are about a dozen of them. There are males and females!" Carroll said. "The meat is a bit old, but it's edible!"
Langdon cleared his throat, drawing everyone to look at him.
"As far as I know, there are only plateau wild boars near Ebo. This kind of wild boar has tusks as long as arms, and its skin is as thick as metal. The legs are slender and long, but the body is quite small, which means that there is very little meat." Langdon said with a disgusted expression, "Only the hungriest wild people will hunt the plateau wild boar."
Cecil: "..."
How many years does domestication take?
No, can I domesticate successfully when I am alive?
Otherwise, how to domesticate it?
Cecil scratched his scalp for a long time, and finally said with a guilty conscience: "Let's start with the rabbit!"
"The rabbit is too small." This time it was Carroll who disliked it. "If there is really no other choice, well, the rabbit is the rabbit."
"Can you gather feed for the rabbits?" Langdon asked suddenly.
"No."
"Can you build a nest for rabbits?"
"Why build a nest for rabbits?"
Langdon looked at Cecil.
Cecil looked up to the sky and sighed: Yes, at the beginning, I fell in love with the magic elk because they are extremely fast and have a high IQ. They can be used to guard wild and untamed wild animals, but if they are rabbits, other people can also guard them. And the magic elk can't help feed them, so what's the use of them?
Cecil rubbed his face, trying to squeeze something out of his head, but there was only a blank, with no connotation other than various recipes, for example, I really want to eat fried skewers, fried everything, Fried to crispy meat, kebabs...huh?
He suddenly raised his head and said, "Have you ever seen a sheep?"
"I've seen it." Carroll said, "Those sheep are good at moving, they can also fly over the walls, they have huge thick hair and their teeth are sharp. However, the lamb is not very tasty, it is smelly and thin, and it is full of meat. bone."
"Don't worry, I can fatten!" Cecil cheered up, "Just start with sheep and rabbits!"
That being said, when he actually saw the flock of sheep, Cecil still felt that something was wrong.
It was a cliff leaning against the Luofeng Mountain Range, and a few black sheep were standing on it in a magical posture. Unlike other places, this mountain range seemed to have been cut by something, leaving only the steep bare soil Layers with big stones, not a hint of green.
"Is this blue sheep?" Cecil squinted his eyes and looked over. It turned out that Cecil's eyesight was really good, and he could see the sheep's face clearly. "Why is it so thick? Sheep?"
No matter what kind of sheep, Cecil was sure that these sheep were malnourished. Not only did their bellies sag, but their ribs protruded even though they were covered by wool.
"What do these sheep eat?" Cecil asked.
"Grass, tree." Carrow, the top hunter on the grassland, said, "Occasionally eat dirt, and I don't know why."
"Probably eating grass roots." Cecil looked around, "Are there just a few of them?"
"I remember quite a few." Carroll tilted his head and thought for a while, then suddenly realized, "Oh, the prey have all run away recently, it seems that I have eaten a lot."
Cecil: "..."
The process of catching sheep was a disaster. Cecil couldn't climb up. Langdon said that he could fly up with magic, but he didn't have the ability to catch live sheep with agility. Dead sheep would be fine, and a magic missile would be enough. .
In the end, it was Carroll who activated the magic elk. The elk rushed up with lightning movements and knocked down the low sheep. The thick straw mat provided a cushion, and Langdon was able to hug a few of them, but the high ones did not. The only solution is to send the magic elk to stay and guard, and wait for them to come down before catching them.
There are five sheep in total, all skinny and skinny, and it is said that there are still some, but Cecil can't wait here all the time, he can only let the magic elk wait.
"Didn't you say you can't catch extinct species?" Carroll asked.
"I think if I don't catch them, they will become extinct..." Cecil muttered.
It took another knight three days to build the house and the sheepfold for the magic elk. There is only one mud squeeze technique a day. If it is broken, there is no chance to modify it. Cecil had to follow the knight's ass as a design It's just that he is Party A, and it's cool to point fingers, and enjoy the handsome knight's stinky face by the way.
Ah, what a pleasure it is to be surrounded by handsome men!
The two big elk rooms are actually a square empty box with the door wide open and nothing inside.Carroll came to take a look, and still expressed that it was unnecessary. Cecil didn't think so. After the kang was burned, these guys would definitely kneel down and sing conquest.
The sheepfold is relatively simple, just a low wall with a few pillars and a roof. It doesn't need to be so rigid, it just needs to be big enough.Half of the wall is covered with straw mats, which is almost the same in winter, mainly for ventilation, otherwise there is no need to keep this part.
In contrast, the houses that people live in cannot be so casual.
"We need to make doors and windows." Cecil said to Langdon, "All houses need it. Wooden doors can always be made, and windows are also made to be able to be opened."
"Hmm." Langdon agreed. It was obvious. In winter, a house with a "big hole" in the wall would be useless to build a kang. "We don't have enough manpower to do it."
Yeah, this goes back to the original problem: lack of people.
"Can you find it in Ebo?" Cecil said, "I think they also have doors and windows. There should be a store in this area, just order."
"Doors and windows can be ordered, but the store needs long-term manpower." Langdon said, "My suggestion is not to hire people in Ebo, it is best to wait for the support of the temple."
Cecil was puzzled and said: "Why? Is it because of our technology? I don't think these are any special technologies."
There are already similar shops for beef noodles. Ebo's business is not well-developed. There are still food shops and daily necessities shops, and most of them are used to meet the needs of residents in the city.Due to the early harvest of saffron, there is no identical beef noodles yet, but beef noodles using high-grade spices from Toto Port have appeared. Cecil actually found green onions in the noodle soup. This kind of noodles is extremely expensive, and the output is still small. It is only served to the privileged class in the world, and Bills is said to have changed to this kind of food.
This kind of noodle uses the highest grade yak meat, which can flow out "myoglobin" steak.
In any case, this is indeed justifying the name of ordinary food. The idea that ordinary food is too dangerous and prone to disease is quietly changing. Cecil feels that in the near future, various ingredients will definitely be developed rapidly. Under the pursuit of desire, there will be fewer and fewer loopholes he can "pick up".
"The beef noodles are indeed very simple. What about the soap? What about the paper?" Langdon asked before Cecil could speak, "Maybe you think these things are made in the village and only sold in the shop, but how much does it cost to stay in the shop for a long time?" It is not appropriate from a confidentiality point of view to have access to some inside information."
Cecil didn't feel much about Langdon's worries. After all, he still has a lot of technology that can be developed. However, the male god had to sell his face. He said, "That's up to you."
Langdon smiled: "Listen to everything?"
"Yes." Cecil nodded like pecking rice, "Listen."
Langdon touched Cecil's monk's head: "Remember this sentence."
Cecil patted his chest flatteringly and agreed, but when Langdon disappeared, after thinking about it carefully, he felt something was wrong.
Didn't I, Nima, sell myself?
Wait a minute, it's not bad to sell to a male god, right?
Emmmmmmmmm...
When Cecil was struggling, the production of the papyrus went very smoothly. When the shop was almost full, Cecil received "support" from the temple.
"The reason Bills suddenly ordered papyrus was that King Losher issued a notice." Langdon said, holding the exact same parchment, "The temple has received inside information that the king has long-term sexual problems, and it is very painful to defecate. High-grade magic cloth can indeed solve this problem. As one of the top ten countries, this king is indeed rich in financial resources. Unfortunately, he is very frugal. The matter almost drove him crazy, so he issued this notice, willing to buy a replacement for one-tenth of the price of the magic cloth."
Cecil listened to this description in a state of dementia: "This king actually talks about sex?"
"Of course he didn't talk about it." Langdon glanced up from the parchment and said with a smile.
"How did the temple know?"
Langdon's expression became very subtle at this time: "The king has a Templar as his lover. Of course, most people only say king knight, queen knight or king knight."
Cecil: "..."
Wait a minute, Templars?
