I'm working on infrastructure in the wizarding world

Connan is indeed not omnipotent.

He will help fellow villagers repair their houses, and simple carpentry work will not trouble him.I know how to mend clothes by myself, and I can mend a pair of socks several times before reluctantly throwing them away—not because I can’t afford them, but because I can’t bear the waste of going up and down the mountain all day long.He can farm and treat some crop seedling diseases.Can identify simple herbs and distinguish all edible wild vegetables around.He will help the cows and sheep to deliver babies, and will give birth to pigs and chickens.Can pickle pickles, make sauces, make live broadcasts and bring goods, and even perform very good food to attract people.

But he really doesn't know how to burn pottery.

After all, pots and pans in modern society really don’t cost much, and these things are not disposable utensils. If you buy a stack, you can use them for three or four years.Not to mention that many poor families will buy small stainless steel basins as dishes, which will not break even if they are dropped, and can be passed down from family to family.

The comments on the live broadcast also started a chattering discussion.Some people expressed great doubts about the fact that the tableware is not disposable and recyclable, and some people suggested that gold, silver or iron bowls can be directly made, which feels more durable.Some people even think that wooden bamboo bowls are also good, why do bloggers insist on using mud to burn pottery?

Although high-level people can see many live broadcasts in different time periods in different worlds, not all live broadcasts start from infrastructure.What's even more outrageous is that some people suggested that Kang Nan should study nutrient solution and nutrient paste. This kind of individually packaged items that can be eaten directly will neither pollute nor use any tableware, which is convenient and practical.

Some people even saw that the funeral was not a big deal, and they made a fuss about letting the "queen" and "imperial concubine" catch an alchemist back. After all, they haven't seen how an alchemist in this world burns pottery. You can grab a magician to clean up.

Kang Nan only felt that his head was big, and he didn't know how these queens and concubines were brought out by YY, and they became synonymous with Landis and Norman unconsciously.

Only a few viewers who study ancient history gave some trivial suggestions——

"The mud glue and the content of sand and minerals in different places are different. It needs to be stirred and beaten to dry every day until it is fully awakened."

"Pottery products are actually not very difficult, and they can be fired with firewood, so they are quite suitable for land reclamation infrastructure. Why don't you start by firing tiles first? It will be easier than bowls and clay pots."

"Anything that can be rotated is a technical job. It's quite a feat for a beginner to make a bowl. If you want to make a vat in the future, it's better to use a wire rod."

It is really difficult to pick out a few useful pieces of information from thousands of comments. Kang Nan felt that he really couldn't figure out the detailed production method with his own little head.But he doesn't worry, he has someone!

"You need to be careful, have strong hands-on ability, and be able to record various changes. It doesn't matter if you can't write. You can remember and tell me to let me record... Oh, you can write? How much can you write?" Kang Nan looked at a middle-aged woman .

The thin, middle-aged woman had a head of flaxen hair, which had been shaved in winter, and now it has grown a lot, wrapped neatly with a scarf.

This six months of recuperation has made the slaves much healthier, and even their temperaments have become much more cheerful.She stood up excitedly and said, "Your Majesty, I used to be Princess Mary's maid, and I learned to read and write from Princess Mary, and I can read and write."

Kang Nan nodded, he thought for a while, and asked, "Then how did you become a slave?"

The woman's face became sad, and she said: "Princess Mary has the most gentle temper, but her health is not good. She left before she got married, and the former... thought that we were not well served, so they were all reduced to slaves. I originally There are also several sisters who have a family, and the other party drove her out of the house one after another when they heard that they had become slaves, and finally committed suicide. Only me and two other people stayed, that is, Amei and Aina, because we both I have no relatives."

Behind her, two equally thin female slaves sobbed softly.

"Then what's your name?" Conan asked.

The woman said: "Go back to Your Majesty, my name is Awan."

Kang Nan said: "Then you can bring your sisters to do this together, what kind of mud, how to knead clay bowls and pots, and what kind of fire to use. As long as you do well, If you can really burn pottery, then I will let the three of you recover as commoners, and come to me to continue to be maids. Similarly, those who figure out how to quickly make good clay bowls and pots can also restore the status of commoners. In addition to farming, they can work in the pottery workshop, and each person can get a catty of grain and a vegetable as compensation every day."

Most of the slaves who have recovered their status as civilians are craftsmen, and there is also the very diligent and discerning new maid Leia.Now Leia is not only helping the herbalist old Ford to collect various herbs for recording, but also responsible for distributing old Ford and his own fields, which can be said to be quite hard work.

The original maids and grooms did not have any land, but they were promoted, and Kang Nan used some cheap jewelry to cover their wages. They still managed food and housing, and their lives were good.

Now His Majesty the King said that as long as he can find out whether pottery can be burned, he can restore his status as a commoner. The slaves are so excited.

"But, can we really burn pottery?" A slave asked incredulously, "After all, we don't have magic."

Kang Nan waved his hand, pointed to the already lush fields and said: "We don't have magic, we can grow vegetables and food, maybe there is no magician and they grow delicious food, but it will definitely fill your stomach! Similarly, we may burn pottery It won’t be so exquisite, but it will definitely work! I believe in you, if you think hard, you can get rid of poverty and poverty with your hands!”

The slaves were very excited and discussed in low voices among themselves.Although the status of a slave can eat enough to live in a house that is airtight and rainproof, who would be willing to be a slave for a lifetime?Since His Majesty the King can give opportunities again and again, then they must seize these opportunities!

Kang Nan looked at A Wan and said, "I hope you can record in detail what everyone does and what they look like. Because there is not enough parchment, you temporarily write it on white linen with charcoal, and then The most accurate data tells me, so I can record it. At the same time, I will also write your names, so that the descendants of Olanka will know that it is you who used your wisdom to make items that benefit them."

Listen, there is such a good thing! !The slaves fainted from excitement.

Even the blacksmith's wife and children wanted to join the pottery workshop, hoping that their names would be recorded by His Majesty the King in the future.It's just that the blacksmith is too busy, repairing endless farm tools, and making new farm tools with all kinds of discarded iron materials.

Kang Nan would naturally notice this kind of thing, he raised his hand and pressed it down, and made a gesture to make everyone quiet, "You are the citizens of New Olanka, as long as you do something for Olanka I will record all the contributions. When future generations open the history books, they will see your names on it-Andy the blacksmith, Old Jack the cobbler, Old Ford, the only herbalist, and your apprentices, family members. There are many I don't know anything about it, and I don't know how to do it. But I think if we figure it out together, we can find a solution, right?"

"Yes, yes, Your Majesty!!! We will definitely find a way to make pottery!!!" The slaves were going crazy with excitement.

Kang Nan looked over the excited people, and the rolling hills and mountains in the distance have been covered with different shades of green, dotted with pink and white dots, which are wild fruit trees blooming.Around the square of the castle and in the garden behind, the roses that had been burnt out spit out new branches and hung round buds.

The warm spring drove away the severe cold and ushered in a rich and fragrant summer.

Landis and Norman remained quite interested in whether pottery could be made out of mud and firewood without magic and magic crystals, so that they stopped sticking to Kangnan. The edge is their new playground.

Pile after pile of mud was piled up on the ground covered with stone slabs, because it was used to make bowls and clay pots, and the slaves did not dare to step on the mud when stirring the mud, even if His Majesty the King said that it was okay to use their feet.It's just that there is a clean-eyed dragon squatting on the wall next to it, so that the slaves not only dare not move their feet, but also take a bath for themselves before rubbing the mud.

However, although the slaves are scrambling to improve their status through pottery making, they will not give up their original jobs.Cleaning inside and outside the castle every day, changing clothes and sheets, plowing the fields, herding sheep and cattle, digging wild vegetables, and looking for edible fungi.

There are also slaves who found hemp at a mud stall by the river. Kangnan promised that if they could make cloth from hemp, they would be able to improve their status even if they did not participate in pottery making.This allowed the slaves to find a suitable direction for their own development again, and they were gearing up one by one, excitedly.

After Kang Nan delegated power to the pottery workshop, he began to follow Old Ford to identify all kinds of wild vegetables, weeds and fungi that people picked back.In late spring and early summer, the plants basically emerge from the surface, showing their original appearance.In addition to communicating with Old Ford about the common herbal medicine he knew that can stop bleeding and reduce inflammation, the other is to identify which plants he is familiar with, which can be eaten or even cultivated and improved.

Genies are seriously color-conscious and vegan.In their eyes, only beautiful, crisp and tender vegetables and fruits that grow on the ground or on trees can be eaten.Because of the guidance of elves, people basically agree with elves in eating vegetables and fruits.The only difference is that humans will try to eat radishes and potatoes that grow underground, which were originally fed to horses, but I heard that the really rich and powerful and people in the holy court will still not eat these "unclean" things that are stained with dirt. "food.

Kangnan once complained that even if they ate the best food, they would still brew shit in their stomachs. This made Landis look ugly for several days, and during this time he completely refused to eat the same food as Kangnan.Although he has omnivorous attributes like a dragon, he is also awkward and hypocritical like an elf.

On the other hand, Char, who is also a dragon, is not like this. He typically eats everything. After knowing that bamboo shoots can be eaten, he gnawed a bamboo alive, which made Kangnan very amazed at the other's good teeth and good appetite.

"This is dandelion, which can remove anger, crush it and apply it externally to reduce swelling, and it can also be eaten in soup, but it has a slightly bitter taste." Sitting next to Old Ford, Kang Nan put the dandelion aside, "It can be eaten and used as medicine. Oh, this... This should be honeysuckle. It can be dried to make tea and drink to clear away heat and detoxify. Purslane can be used as stuffing, cold salad, soup, and can also treat diarrhea. Is this shepherd's purse? Oh, this is a good thing, Later, let people dig a little more and come back to cook soup..."

Old Ford looked at Kang Nan in surprise, not knowing why Kang Nan could casually name these strange flowers and plants.In his records are simple appearance, taste, and how to cure diseases.Because herbal medicine is forbidden witchcraft, there are many plants that he knows only by seeing them, but he doesn't know the names at all.

Except for the vegetables and fruits grown by the elves, the pile in front of them is collectively called weeds.

But his majesty the king was able to quickly give the weed a strange but unexpectedly appropriate name, and tell the efficacy of the weed.The most important thing is - can eat.

He hurriedly recorded the names and functions of the various plants that Kang Nan said, and he felt great respect for the new king in his heart.If he had always felt that Kangnan reused him before, it was because Olanka didn't have anyone who could use him, and he didn't have the money to buy or hire someone.He has even prepared that if one day a magician who is willing to heal the people of Olanka without the need of the mage tower comes, his life of healing diseases with herbal witchcraft will come to an end.

However, he really never thought that His Majesty the King seems to know better than him!

Connan didn't notice the rich inner activities of old Ford. He picked out a bunch of long grass stalks and looked at them carefully, then grabbed a little tassel from the top of the grass stalks and stuffed them into his mouth.

"Your Majesty!!" Old Ford was almost scared to death, "Please don't eat these weeds indiscriminately, what if it is poisonous?? Spit it out quickly!!"

There were several rabbits in Old Ford's room, and these rabbits were caught by Leia, and they were specially used to test whether the fruits or fungi recovered by the slaves were poisonous.It is poisonous if the rabbit does not eat it, and it is poisonous if the rabbit eats it and dies.Because of this, the rabbits were replaced several times, and the dead rabbits were thrown into the mountains and turned into mud.

"This is... rice!" The familiar aroma of rice slowly melted away in the mouth. The rice was very malnourished, and only a little spike had grown. It should have been pulled back when it just started filling.But the taste of rice is definitely not wrong, this is rice!

"What rice?" Old Ford, who was holding a glass of water and wanted to rinse His Majesty's mouth, was taken aback for a moment, "What is rice?"

"It's a kind of food!" Kang Nan was so excited, "If it is well cultivated, it can produce a lot of rice, and it can be boiled directly without roasting. It is very delicious and filling."

Old Ford had never heard of rice, and the food available on the market today was barley, rye, potatoes, sweet potatoes, pumpkins, and even corn, which was food for the rich and powerful, and ordinary people had no chance to eat it.

Kang Nan asked: "Who found this? Hurry up and record the place where this crop grows, and pick it back when it's ripe and keep the seeds!!"

The little apprentice who was helping to tidy up listened, took the rice in Kangnan's hand and ran out quickly.

After picking up the pile of plants and harvesting new vegetables and food, Kang Nan felt refreshed.While it was still early, he planned to go around the fields.

There are no paddy fields in Oulanka today, but all dry fields.The slaves were weeding and catching insects in the fields, for fear that if the food was not served well, the production would be reduced.Because there are not many corn seeds, the corn field is Kangnan's private land, which is as sacred and inviolable as the experimental field.The first thing the slaves do when they go to the fields every day is to weed and water Kangnan's fields first, and then go to work on their own fields.

The corn grows very fast, and now it has reached the height of one person, and it has begun to head.

A few days ago, Kang Nan taught the few hundred people in Olanka how to harvest pumpkins and watermelons, so as to avoid competing for nutrition and growing them badly.Now the corn is earing, and it's time for earing.

The improved corn seeds basically rarely need to be eared. One or two corns will grow on one corn stalk, and occasionally three will grow, and the smallest one will be pinched off by people.However, unimproved primitive corn is very prone to multiple ears. Five or six ears of corn can grow on one stalk. In the end, all of them are malnourished, and the lack of a few grains leads to reduced production.

In fact, the young ears of corn that are crushed are also a good vegetable, and they can still be sold at high prices in many high-end markets.Although this thing is really not as worthwhile for farmers as having an extra real corn cob.

"Pull off the ears of corn?" The slaves were all surprised when they heard this.If the melon fields pinch off the so-called male flowers that are useless, they can still understand the small melons.After all, it is a melon. If you don't have enough food to fill your stomach, it's good to grow it.But this is an ear of corn, and what grows out is grain, which can really fill the stomach, so, just pinch it off?

"Yes!" Kang Nan said firmly. He shook another slender thing in his hand, and said: "If the corn grows on this, also pinch it off. This will easily make the corn sick and not grow well. Pinching Put all the ears of corn that fall and this thing in a basket for me to keep, and I can use it."

The slaves looked at each other in blank dismay, really not understanding what their Majesty the King wanted to do.

Kang Nan knew that it was because the slaves felt sorry for the food, but...

"When did I lie to you? Am I right when I said that manure can fertilize the land and make crops grow better? Am I right when I said that vegetable seedlings need to be transplanted to grow big and well? So pinch them out. These are also right! Otherwise, not a single corn will grow well!"

The slaves nodded suspiciously. Since His Majesty the King strongly requested this, they could only do so.After all, what His Majesty said is correct, if you think it is wrong, please refer to the first article.

Watching the slaves scattered into the corn field, Kang Nan walked into the vegetable field with his hands behind his back.

Pea shoots are edible, as are sweet potato vines.The cabbage is also ready for thinning, but in order to prevent the slaves from rebounding too much, it is better to transplant the young cabbage that has grown out.

When Landis and Norman had enough mud, he found that Connan directed more than a dozen pots of green soup, and the green soup in the cauldron was bubbling like a witch's cauldron.

"Are all your slaves sick? What are these things?" Landis looked at the pot of green soup, his face turned green.

Kang Nan pointed at one of the cauldrons with a smile, and said, "Pea sprouts, sweet potato vines, pumpkin flowers and pumpkin tips, tender corn ears, black rice and wheat flour. The taste is quite good. Do you want to try it?" ?Vegan, just with a little butter. How about I call this food gnocchi soup?"

Landis looked at the sticky cauldron and stepped back a few steps.

Although Norman was a little apprehensive looking at this pot of mess, but since Connan could eat it, then he... He glanced at Landis quickly, then smiled at Connan: "It sounds very good. , I want to taste it."

"You still have vision." Kang Nan nodded with satisfaction, and then said to Aisha: "It should be almost there, go and call everyone back for dinner."

In fact, Aisha is also very skeptical about this pot, but the smell is okay, and at least there is precious wild beef butter in it, and you can smell a faint milk aroma after boiling.What's more, there are still a lot of wheat flour lumps. Now they are short of food. They used to eat all kinds of steamed and roasted wild vegetables, but now they can improve their taste.

The slaves didn't have much opinion on what to eat. They used to eat weeds in the wild in order to fill their stomachs.Besides, His Majesty the King will not harm them. Although this pot of green paste does not look very good-looking, it is delicious with oil and salt.

After they ate it in their mouths, they realized that it was really delicious!These things they thought were going to be fed to cows and sheep were unexpectedly refreshing. Looking at the tender ears of corn inside, although they were a little distressed, they were delicious, with a hint of sweetness.Not to mention that there are gnocchi, not baked black bread, but cooked wheat flour, which does not choke people at all!

Norman also found that this pot of food didn't look very good, but it tasted quite good.Satisfied, he added another bowl to himself, "It's really delicious. I found that many of His Majesty's ideas are very surprising, and I learned a lot from His Majesty."

Kang Nan smiled embarrassedly, and said: "If you are hungry every day and can't eat enough, you will wonder what you can eat. Now that I have the opportunity, I want to make these seemingly inconspicuous things as much as possible. Eat something delicious, let everyone eat as much as possible to avoid starvation."

Norman tilted his head and shook his ears, "Your Majesty has been hungry before?"

At any rate, they are the heirs of Shun, even if they don't eat well, they won't go hungry, right?

Kang Nan shook his head and sighed, "It's all in the past."

Landis was very unhappy watching Norman wagging his ears or tail at Connan, looking very annoying.He gritted his teeth hard, and said, "These things are grown from that kind of fertilizer?"

You used to gloat about dung, but now you swallow the word dung... Bah, bah, bah! !

Connan pushed the bowl away, looked at Landis seriously, and said, "Your Excellency Landis, please don't talk about this kind of topic during dinner, okay?"

Landis snorted and said, "You don't know, too?"

Kang Nan said: "Yes, after all, no one will bring up such a topic while eating, just like your Excellency, they will not excrete while eating..."

Before she finished speaking, the tsundere little princess left with a livid face.
