Chapter 304 You were severely dehydrated last night, you need to rehydrate!
Late at night, in the courtyard of the city lord's mansion.
"Continuing from where we left off..."
"Ever since Xiao Yan awakened the golden finger of Yao Lao, he began learning alchemy, honing his physical body, and cultivating advanced fighting techniques, his cultivation advancing by leaps and bounds. It just so happens that the Xiao family's triennial clan competition is underway..."
At this moment, under the glowing tree and around the stone table, the women gathered once again to listen to Xiao Yu tell a story.
Since popcorn became available, listening to stories under the moonlight has become a daily pleasure.
When they heard that Xiao Yu had risen again and easily swept away the clan's most talented young men, the women's eyes lit up with admiration, and they couldn't help but clap and cheer!
Xinglan, holding a charcoal pencil, wrote furiously, copying down everything Xiao Yu said.
Tomorrow, she'll be able to sell the content her brother-in-law just updated.
Now, the people of Longcheng live a life free from worries about food and clothing and have begun to pursue spiritual pleasures.
The next morning, Honglian rubbed her eyes and stretched groggily.
"Brother? Where did you go?" Honglian turned to the side, trying to hug the man next to her.
They arrived to find no one there; when they looked up, the other person was already gone.
In Longcheng today, basic toiletries such as toothbrushes are available.
Honglian went into the bathroom, washed up, and then went to the study.
"Brother, what are you busy with so early in the morning?" Honglian asked, puzzled.
"You worked hard last night, why didn't you get some more sleep?" Xiao Yu said gently with a smile.
"Hmph! How dare you say that!" Honglian blushed and turned away, scolding him.
Last night, the two fought another battle, and Honglian was defeated once again, falling into a deep sleep from exhaustion.
She even used the Great Waterfall technique to soak the bed.
Finally, Xiao Yu had no choice but to use water escape techniques to drain the water.
Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to sleep in the whole bed.
"hehe!"
Seeing the red-haired girl blush, Xiao Yu chuckled, pulled her into his arms, and explained, "I'm researching a wine recipe. Once this wine is brewed, it won't just be a top-quality brew, it will also greatly increase everyone's strength..."
"The recipe? Is it the one Hou Ji gave you?" Honglian leaned over to take a look and asked curiously.
When Hou Ji left the City of Ten Thousand Beasts, he gave Xiao Yu his brewing recipe, which he had treasured for many years.
"Yes, I'm still researching it."
Xiao Yu nodded, pointed to the prescription with his finger, and said, "According to the prescription, if you gather five top-grade natural treasures, you can brew a mysterious wine that has the power to change people's fate."
Previously, Longcheng couldn't even brew the most ordinary wine.
In addition, he has been busy with various other matters, so he hasn't had time to do this.
But now, thanks to the luminescent ripening technology, many fruits in the orchard have ripened.
The little monkey has already brewed several jars of monkey wine, and its brewing skills are becoming increasingly proficient.
"Let's go! Let's go to the orchard and find some fruit to try first." Xiao Yu said, taking the red-haired girl's hand and directly using his gravity control ability.
The next second, the two of them took to the air and flew into the orchard in the blink of an eye.
"Apples, pears, hawthorns, mulberries... just five kinds of fruit will do."
After randomly selecting five kinds of fruit, Xiao Yu prepared to go back and test the effects of the recipe.
At the same time, he conjured water in his hand, washed a pear, and handed it to the red-haired girl, saying, "You were severely dehydrated last night, quickly eat some fruit to replenish your fluids."
"Ugh, you still dare to say that!"
Honglian blushed again and pinched Xiao Yu's waist hard.
But once I actually got the hang of it...
But the force became weak and feeble.
Ultimately, it's because I can't bear to part with it.
"Hehe! Okay, I won't say anymore."
Xiao Yu pretended to be in great pain, laughing and twisting his waist. He then looked at the fruit trees in front of him and said, "What have Xiao Yu and the others been busy with these past few days? The fruit in the orchard is all ripe. Let them pick some quickly, or it will rot here."
"They're still busy picking corn and tomatoes, and there's still cabbage to pick..."
Honglian shook her head with a wry smile, shrugged, and said, "Brother, Xiaoyu and the others are really too busy. We need to hire some people as soon as possible, otherwise it would be such a waste to waste all these fruits and vegetables."
Things that people outside the area can't get even if they want to eat them.
The disease has become rampant in Longcheng, and due to a shortage of manpower, it cannot be completely removed.
"Yes, now that we're out of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range, let's recruit some people along the way," Xiao Yu nodded.
Previously, there was no way to recruit people in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range.
After all, places like the Beast Mountain Range are truly forbidden zones for humans.
They traveled for several days through the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountains, only encountering Black Horse and his companions.
Afterwards, Xiao Yu went to the plantation to inspect the sorghum that had just been spurred.
Since obtaining the sorghum seedlings from the little monkey, Xiao Yu has attached great importance to them.
Using his special ability, he spurred the growth of hundreds of plants in one go, then sowed more seeds to continue planting.
Now, there are already hundreds of sorghum seedlings, just waiting for the sorghum to mature so that we can brew baijiu (Chinese liquor).
Meanwhile, on one side of Longcheng Avenue, a group of women were busily working in a plantation.
"There's still a lot to do today, everyone, keep up the good work!"
"Let's break them open and take a look. Quickly pick the ripe ones, and we'll harvest the rest next time..."
"Sort the best ones to the City Lord's Mansion, the average ones to the Hall of Merit, send a hundred ears of corn to the Commercial Street, and store the rest in the freezer."
Xiaoyu is 1.6 meters tall, which is not considered tall.
But at this moment, she stood in the crowd, directing everyone to pick corn and move goods.
He was like a general on the battlefield, commanding his troops with ease, and everyone obeyed him completely.
"Be careful when transporting the goods, don't damage the corn, it's very expensive."
"The commercial street is currently out of stock. Please help carry these 100 ears of corn to the corn shop first."
"Alright!" Upon hearing Xiaoyu's command, the two middle-aged men nodded, jogged over, and used wooden sticks to pierce through the wooden barrel filled with corn. Each of them carried it from one end towards the outer city.
"Phew~ It's too heavy!" the man in front exclaimed, panting.
"Yes! And so many trips every day..." the man behind him said with a wry smile.
"Greetings, Lord City Lord! Greetings, Deputy City Lord!" Upon seeing Xiao Yu and Hong Lian, the two men immediately bowed and greeted them, their faces somewhat embarrassed, worried that the Lord City Lord had overheard their earlier complaints.
However...
"You've worked hard." Xiao Yu didn't blame him at all, but smiled and nodded.
He saw that both of them had sweat dripping from their foreheads, but they didn't even have time to wipe it away.
It seemed they were even running to get the goods to the commercial street as quickly as possible.
"It's not hard work at all!" The two men nodded repeatedly, their eyes filled with gratitude and happy smiles.
Although they had just complained that they were a little tired and had too much to do.
But... compared to my previous life, it's already paradise.
At least... for now, they have no worries about food, clothing, or safety!
And all of this was brought about by the city lord before us!
Watching the two carrying heavy loads and jogging towards the commercial street, Xiao Yu frowned slightly.
"What's wrong with my brother?" Honglian asked with concern.
"It's too laborious and time-consuming to carry it by hand like this," Xiao Yu said with a serious expression.
If it's just a small amount of goods, that's fine.
But now, Longcheng harvests thousands of goods every day.
There was already a shortage of manpower, and only these two people were responsible for picking out the goods.
Once the plants catalyzed by the bioluminescent field mature and the goods increase, wouldn't it be exhausting to carry them by hand?
"Brother, do you have any ideas on how to solve this?" Honglian's beautiful eyes lit up when she heard this.
She knew that whenever Xiao Yu showed that expression, it meant he had a good idea.
"Let's go! We're going back to the city lord's mansion! I want to build a cargo transport vehicle."
