Great time travel

Chapter 8. It’s so easy to earn points

After casually greeting the guards of the Egyptian royal palace, Wang Qiu took Mr. Miyamoto and walked in along the corridor in the royal palace.

In general, the Egyptian royal palace in Thebes has been continuously built and expanded for centuries, and it can be called quite grand and luxurious.The main hall at the front is made of huge boulders, and the huge carved stone pillars support the broad and magnificent palace. There are murals, reliefs, gold, silver and gem inlaid decorations everywhere. There are Egyptian kings and ministers who deal with government affairs. , the place where foreign envoys were received, and also the office of court officials.

Behind the main hall is a large group of scattered, exquisite and small buildings, which belonged to the private harem of the pharaohs of the past dynasties.Between the palaces, there are lush and beautiful flowers and trees, as well as pools and stone carvings.The architects deliberately created a large number of canals, ponds and artificial waterfalls in the harem, so that the palace is always cool and pleasant.Lotus flowers bloom in most of the pools, reeds grow around the pools, and waterfowl play.There are also dense shades of date palms, ficus, palms, and beautiful flower beds adorned with pomegranates and figs.

Although it cannot be compared with the finely crafted and luxurious gardens in the modern West, it is already the pinnacle of architectural art in this era.

Miyamoto and Wang Qiu were walking slowly along the promenade covered with vines, and there was a cool wind blowing in front of them, and along with it was a burst of cheerful laughter from a girl: a petite girl with dazzling blond hair was dragging Another black-haired woman with astonishingly large breasts was running around in the vast imperial garden, pointing at some rare birds and beasts, chirping and screaming, and laughing and making noise while trying to pick lotus flowers in the pond , with long golden hair fluttering and fluttering with her movements, there is a large group of maids laughing and laughing, and an older lady tries to stop her, "...Princess Carol, be careful not to fall into the In the water, if you get sick, King Memphis will be worried..."

——Obviously, these two people are Princess Carol, who is the daughter of the Nile River, and Mrs. Ju Chuan Shizuka who dyed her black hair.From the very beginning when the two of them met, they talked very happily, chatting about various topics very vigorously, and happily joined hands and played wildly everywhere, just like close friends.

Sure enough, as long as it is a cute thing with a natural stupid attribute, no matter whether the breasts are big or small, will they naturally have a common language?

Under the clear sky and scorching sun in ancient Egypt, Shizuka Ju Chuan was wearing a light-colored dress with white flowers on a blue background and a straw hat decorated with feathers, just like an ordinary modern urban girl in summer.Kyrol, on the other hand, wore a white linen "churnik" embellished with gold, that is, a barrel bodysuit that fell from the chest to the ankles, a pair of filigree sandals on the feet, and a pair of leather straps hanging around the neck. Emerald, lapis lazuli, agate, amethyst and necklaces strung together with colorful glaze pieces, plus a gold crown decorated with cobra sculptures, look extravagant and compelling, and the contrast is very strong.

——The beautiful and cool silk clothes given to Kyrol by the traversers before were used by the Egyptian court ladies as "foreign exotic clothes, which are impolite to wear on my princess", and the Daughter of the Nile River was not allowed to continue to wear them .As for the "Qunik" made of modern colored silk, the exclusive tailors of the Egyptian royal family are still working overtime and have no time to make it...

In short, in terms of appearance, although she is different from the tall American actresses in Hollywood movies with big breasts and wide buttocks, Ms. Carol Lido does have the talent to become a heartthrob—even though she has a pair of The loli body is as petite as a doll, but it is really beautiful: the skin is as smooth and delicate as fine porcelain, and there is no trace of blemish; the skin is so fair that it is almost transparent, which is very different from the dark brown of the native Egyptians Skin color; the breasts on the chest are continuing to swell vigorously, as full and delicious as juicy fruits that have just ripened;Although the size is indeed too petite, but what is concentrated is the essence!
And the handsome male protagonist who staged a love song with her, the black-haired Egyptian king Memphis, is practicing swordsmanship with the captain of the palace guard, General Unas.No matter in what era, the violent aesthetics made of metal has a fatal attraction to men.

Due to the need to do strenuous exercise, the Egyptian king did not wear a heavy crown, but was shirtless, with a short skirt around his waist, and a short cloak over his shoulders. At this time, Indian cotton had not yet been introduced to Africa, and he wore animal skins. It was too hot, so the ancient Egyptians generally used linen to make clothes, because it was not easy to dye, most people's clothes were white, and the nobles and royal families would decorate themselves with gems and gold to show their status.

For example, the cloak worn by King Memphis is made of gold thread added to the linen. When he wears it, his whole body looks golden, like a heroic young god. At the waist hangs a dagger with a scabbard inlaid with precious gems.

However, at this time, Memphis did not use this luxurious iron dagger, but brandished the all-steel folding knife just given to him by the traversers, and fought against General Unas who was using a wooden sword on the opposite side. It was inextricably linked—on the whole, Memphis was very pleased with the new weapon.At the very beginning, General Unas used his ancestral bronze dagger to confront Memphis' jackknife. As a result, in the close-up exercise, Memphis hadn't used [-]% of his strength, and every time It left a big gap in the opponent's weapon.After a few rounds, Memphis had to allow the opponent to suspend the fight under the strong protest of General Unas, who was distressed about his weapon, and replaced it with a practice wooden sword that would not be distressed even if it was cut off.

When changing the wooden sword, Captain Unas complained several times in a sour tone: "...My king! Although this small knife of mine is not as sharp as the iron tools of the Hittites, it is not as good as your new toy. It is useful, but it is also an old friend who has accompanied me and my father on the battlefield for many years. Before finding another partner that is more convenient, let it stay in my hand for a few more days! Don’t use your new gadget on it. There are more scars carved on the body."

However, such an unstoppable magical weapon, in the hands of those foreigners with great powers, is just a small gadget for ordinary people to peel fruit. For those words, King Memphis couldn't help feeling bitter.

However, for a guy who can control such a behemoth soaring into the sky, a few sharp swords may really be nothing.

He looked up at the huge airship that was still hanging high above the palace, and then saw a few foreigners in strange costumes not far away, who were hard at work plowing and sowing in the vegetable patch in the corner of the imperial garden with small tools. , It is said that it is dedicated to the palace with a few novel plants that did not exist in Egypt before.

——The gardens of ancient royal palaces are often also botanical gardens for industrial research, used to try to plant novel crops brought by distant messengers or merchants.

...Well, I don't know what kind of surprise they will bring to themselves this time...or fright?

Under the shade of dense date palm trees, the young Egyptian king thought with complicated emotions while wiping his face with a damp cloth dipped in clean water.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

"...Mami-chan, don't be in a daze, quickly sift out the sand! It will be bad if stones or bugs get in there."

In the vegetable patch in the royal garden of the Egyptian royal palace, an elderly Japanese policewoman is reprimanding another cute young policewoman.

They are the ex-inspector Matsushima Miyu and the former inspector Nakaoka Asami who escaped from the zombie apocalypse, and now they are also participating in the colonization of another world with their boss, Miyamoto Masa.Right now, because he was born in the countryside and did farm work, he was caught by Wang Qiu and Doraemon. He took a sieve and a small shovel to plant strawberries native to America in the garden. These "landlords" of Memphis are trying something new.

- Since strawberry seeds are very small, they must be sown very carefully.Not only should rakes be used to level the ridges of the field in advance to avoid ground inclination, but also a part of the same sieved humus soil should be mixed with sieved fine sandy loam and spread on the ground as a seedbed instead of directly using the sticky loam by the Nile River to avoid The soil layer is too firm, making it difficult for strawberry seeds to germinate.But you can't use sand alone to avoid lack of nutrients.

As a result, Nakaoka Asami, who was assigned the task of sifting soil by her predecessors, soon felt that her arm shaking the sieve was so sore that it was about to break.

In comparison, the young man who planted sunflowers next to him is much easier. He only needs to poke small holes with a wooden stick in the fertile soil by the Nile River, and put the raw sunflower seeds in with the pointed end down. In the hole, water it again, and you can wait for them to germinate leisurely.

(Many people may not know that the sunflower, the national flower of the Soviet Union, is also native to the Americas and was brought back by the Spaniards in the [-]th century.)
And this is also a typical agricultural form that the ancient Egyptians were blessed with——the Nile River, with gentle water and regular flooding, is like a tireless hardworking mother who automatically helps the Egyptians complete the hard work of irrigation and fertilization every year. Ancient Egypt Farmers only need to take the time to scatter the seeds, and then wait patiently for the harvest.

What makes the hard-working Chinese farmers even more envious is that the output of such extensive agriculture, which depends on the sky for food, is actually the highest in the world!
——That's why the Greeks said enviously: "Egypt is a gift from the Nile"

Closer to home, while sifting the sand hard, Asami Nakaoka secretly looked at the Egyptian king Memphis who was practicing swordsmanship in the distance from time to time.

Speaking of it, Nakaoka Asami, a little natural policewoman, was once one of the loyal readers of "Daughter of the Nile".

I remember that when she was young, her mind was full of pink dreams. When she saw "Daughter of the Nile" for the first time, she was so attracted by the magnificent artistic conception, the profound time and space, the grand history, and the poignant love. I fell into it and became a fan of this shoujo manga masterpiece ever since.

She loves the magnificent temple in the book;
She loves the king who rides the wilderness in the book;
She loves the pious hymns in the book;
She loves the priest with the mysterious smile in the book.

The turbulent ocean and the grand battlefield have jointly created a series of soul-stirring love epics;
The duel intertwined with ambition and arrogance, full of wisdom and strength, added an unparalleled bright color to the beauty of the peerless beauty.

……

After learning that these refugees from the end of the world were going to migrate to the world of "Daughter of the Nile", Asami Nakaoka still had a little bit of expectation and longing—even if she didn't expect to compete with the heroine for a man, she could appreciate so many beauties with her own eyes. Men, it should also be a very pleasant thing.

However, not long after entering the Egyptian palace and seeing the protagonists of the plot with her own eyes, the dreams and longings in her heart were completely shattered.

The appearance of King Memphis is as handsome as in the comics, but his character is indeed as brutal as a tyrant in a slave country.

In just one morning, Nakaoka Asami witnessed from a distance that the king of Memphis personally smashed the head of a slave who made a mistake in a rage, and ordered two criminals to be tied up and thrown into a pond to feed the crocodiles .Then, amidst the criminal's dying screams, he picked a bouquet of flowers with morning dew with great interest, and sent them to Carol who was still sleeping, leaving only the ladies behind with smiles. Whispering intentionally.

By the time the innocent and kind-hearted Kyroll came to hang out in the garden after breakfast, the corpses in the crocodile pond had already been cleaned up.She would just stand by the pool, happily feed the crocodile with raw meat, and found it strange that today Mr. Crocodile seems to have a poor appetite and can't eat much... She didn't know that just a few hours ago, something happened here What a horrible tragedy.

ah?You said that in such a bloody and terrifying court, why do the ladies dare to play and laugh?

This is because all court ladies with a little bit of status are basically descendants of nobles or high officials, so King Memphis treats them politely. They dragged them out and strangled them...

——If this is the case for King Memphis, who is the hero and positive character of love comics, then as the negative characters, Assyrian king Aran, Babylonian king Lagsh, and the Hittite prince Izmi, who is both good and evil, Let alone their humanitarian and human rights concepts.

Alas, the girl's dream is so beautiful, but the cold reality is so cruel!

From ancient times to the present, which ruler's buttocks can be said to be absolutely clean?As the saying goes, accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger!
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Of course, whether the court life in Thebes is terrifying or pleasant, all this has nothing to do with the Japanese immigrants from the last days.

The only reason why the former Inspector Matsushima Miyu, the former Inspector Nakaoka Asami, and the remaining Japanese with farming experience are in the royal garden of this palace is to support the daughters of the Nile, Carol and Memphis. To serve the king, to plant some crops that did not exist in ancient Egypt in this era, to enrich their dining tables and gardens, to show the abilities of these people, and to earn funds for the construction of new homes in the future.

The first batch of planted projects are strawberries and sunflowers that are more adaptable to the environment.

"...Okay, Miss Carroll, this batch of strawberries has been planted! After a few months, you will have fresh strawberries to taste!"

Wiping the sweat off her forehead, Miyu Matsushima stood up from the vegetable bed, and said to Carol who came over curiously, "...as long as you water every day, keep the soil moist, and remove weeds frequently, then in For the next three years, this land will be able to harvest strawberries every year..."

"...Ah? Wait a few more months?" Carol looked a bit disappointed, "...but people really want to eat it right away!"

——For such excessive demands, the three Japanese "agricultural technicians" can only express that they are helpless. At most, they ask Doraemon to find a way to buy a batch of strawberries from the future to satisfy the craving for His Royal Highness the Daughter of the Nile... But Doraemon A Meng himself obviously has a better way.

"...If you really want to eat strawberries quickly, it's not impossible! You just need to use this! [Time Furoshiki]!"

Doraemon, who just came back from a stroll around the palace, stood on the ridge of this small vegetable bed, proudly took out the [Time Furoshiki] from his belly pocket, and showed off to everyone, "...Look Look at this! I can make this field enter the harvest period in the blink of an eye!"

——After a while, the bare vegetable bed was covered by green vines and grass leaves, dotted with bright red strawberries like bright rubies, which made the mouth water. Move your index finger... There are also golden sunflowers standing proudly facing the scorching sun of Egypt, like vigilant sentinels.

"...Wow! It looks so delicious!" Regardless of the dissuasion of the maids, Kai Luoer jumped into the strawberry bushes with bright eyes, picked a red strawberry and stuffed it into his mouth, "... Mmm! So sweet! Memphis! Memphis! You can have one too! I’ll feed you! Ah~~~”

"...Carol! Don't eat indiscriminately! You have to ask the medical officer to check whether there is any problem with these fruits!"

"...I hate it! Why do you need to check it! It's so troublesome... Memphis! This kind of fruit is called strawberry, it's delicious, I used to eat it... ah - let me have one! People don't know Damn you! How is it? The taste is not bad, right!"

"...Well, it tastes okay...but what are those golden flowers? Are they edible too?"

"... This kind of flower is called a sunflower. It is said that the flower disc is always facing the sun, and it can rotate by itself! As for the purpose... This thing is not a fruit, so it should not be eaten! But... it seems that it can be used to extract oil?"

……

Leaving aside the chattering and chattering between the time-traveling lovers, on the other side of the vegetable bed, Wang Qiu and Doraemon are holding the "Book of Time Traveling" in their hands. As expected, another reward point was added to the account:

"...introduces a non-existing strawberry to ancient Egypt for 200 bonus points."

"...introduces a previously non-existing sunflower to Ancient Egypt, for 300 bonus points."

"...The total points are now 1500 points, and I look forward to your continued efforts."

——Eh eh?In this way, if you want to earn points in this time and space, don't you just need to sow more seeds of different crops?
So, after exchanging opinions, Doraemon and Wang Qiu drove a large number of Japanese immigrants to do a big dumping of exotic crops to the ancient Egyptians - corn, sweet potatoes, potatoes, Pumpkins, peanuts, tomatoes, cactus, green peppers and hot peppers, peaches, oranges, water spinach, rice from China, sugar cane and cotton from India... and some exotic fruits and vegetables obtained by Doraemon from the 22nd century.The addition of each new crop shows bonus points ranging from 200 to 1500 points in the "Book of Time Traveling"!
After they got all the crops and ornamental plants they could think of, the sweaty and half-tired Japanese immigrants had planted them from the imperial garden to the royal farm near the palace, and even the dry land far away from the Nile River. The hot desert (planting cactus) also attracted a large number of local Egyptians and foreign travelers to watch... But the results are also very rich, and the reward points obtained have reached more than [-]!

In short, according to the above practical experience, it is really easy for travelers to score points in this time and space.

But on the other hand, if you want to make money from this city of Thebes, and make a lot of money, it will feel very difficult.

Regarding this, Ms. Nan Lixiang and Senior Sister Ma Tong, who are sitting in a certain hall and setting up a stall, definitely have a deep understanding...
