Food, drink and merrymaking in another world

Linda went to open the door, and the person who came was the servant sent by the city lord Gal, who said he had something to ask for Linda, Linda and the chess player confessed and followed to the city lord's mansion.

When I saw Gal, I found out after asking about it. After all the pre-requisites were completed, the guiding villagers of Ayer Village were divided into five teams, and each team went to guide a village.But now there is a problem, because the locations of the villages are different, and the land is slightly different. Among the other villages, one is near a mountain with a higher terrain, and the other two villages are far away from the river, so it is inconvenient to transport water.The land in Aier Village is close to water, and the villagers have become accustomed to carrying water nearby for irrigation. Later, after the bobbin car developed by Linda and the craftsmen appeared, Aier Village raised funds to build one, which was even more convenient.Therefore, the Ayer villagers in the village of Milo near the high mountain and the villages of Thor and Huage farther away from the water did not know what to do, so they reported to Gal for help, and Gall called Linda for help.

Linda looked at the map and asked Gal, "Are there no wells in these three villages?" Gal nodded and said, "We have done investigations before and built wells near the fields, but it seems that it is still very difficult to transport water. Some villagers are too tired to plant. So I want to know if you have any way to solve this problem."

Linda pondered for a while, then he stood up and said, "I have to go and see the scene. It's useless to just think here. Please, the city lord, take me around the villages." Gal also stood up and called The housekeeper ordered the carriage and luggage to be prepared, and we went to each village to see together.

They went to Milo Village first. This village is on the south side of Torway City, on a branch road leading to Wangcheng Road. The carriage traveled for a day and a night, because they set off in the morning, and it was morning when they arrived at the village. Linda and Gal Ignoring the rest, I went to the village chief's house, met with the Ayer villagers who came to guide me, and went to the field together to see the situation.

It turns out that Miluo Village was originally built on the mountainside. Except for the road, it is surrounded by continuous high mountains. Among them, the high mountains in the northwest and the high mountains in the southeast of Ayer Village are connected. Of course, there are countless high mountains in between. From there there is no other possibility but to fly.There are fewer villagers in Miluo Village than in Aier Village. They live by the pond water flowing down from the mountain, but the reclaimed fields are outside the village, and the pond water is on the mountain inside the village. It takes a lot of time to carry water by manpower, and more importantly The mountain road is not easy to walk.Gal and the others didn't investigate beforehand, which resulted in the current situation.

Linda first went to the pool to have a look. The water was the spring water left on the mountain, and the taste was very mellow and sweet. Miluo Village relied on this spring water to make wine for its livelihood.He went to look at the fields again, only to find that because of the uneven terrain, there were relatively few cultivated fields, and some fields were sloped, which was not conducive to plant growth.Looking at the slope in front of him, a word suddenly popped up in his mind: "terraced fields".Isn't this terrain suitable for reclamation into terraced fields now? He squatted down, found a dead branch and began to gesture. After a while, he stood up, looked around the mountain, and finally came to the village chief and Gal. What they were looking forward to look at him.

Linda explained the concept of terraced fields to them, and then used branches to draw a schematic diagram on the ground. The village chief and others felt enlightened after listening to him.Gal and the village chief hurriedly ordered people to renovate. Fortunately, there are enough people now. Everyone obeyed Linda's instructions, digging, dividing into blocks, laying stones, and preparing the ground. It took two full days to complete the transformation of the terraced fields.

They were busy building terraced fields, and Linda and the others were not idle either. He took the village chief and Cal to the woods on the mountain, pointed to a large bamboo forest and said, "Did you see that? That is bamboo, a kind of bamboo with a hollow in the middle." plant." The village head nodded: "The buds that just grow out of that thing are delicious when cooked, but if they grow later, they will become hard and cannot be chewed." Linda said: "That is called bamboo shoots, which are the young shoots of bamboo. , It is indeed edible and delicious. But let’s not talk about it now, if you want to irrigate the terraced fields, you need this kind of plant.” Gal asked in surprise: “What can this kind of plant do?” Linda looked at him and the village. Long said: "Because this kind of plant is hollow, we can divert water from the mountain to the field. The specifics are like this." He explained to them the method and principle of this kind of bamboo tube diversion in detail, saving them from understanding. Vocabulary, finally let them understand what is going on.

When Linda went on a trip, he saw a local in a certain place lead the spring down from the mountain like this, which is very convenient.Later, when I read Tang poems, there was a poet Li Qunyu's "Walking of Water", which described in detail the situation that ancient people used bamboo tubes to guide water down the mountain: "A piece of cold jade walks through the autumn spring, leading to smoke from the mouth of the deep radish cave. The sound of the undercurrent for ten miles is constant, and there are gurgling streams above the heads of pedestrians." Only then did we know that people in ancient times invented this method, and it was mostly found in the southern mountainous areas. The place where Linda traveled was one place.The specific method is to cut off the bamboo of the same thickness, if there is an iron rod, heat it and insert it into the bamboo cavity to burn off the middle bamboo joints, if there is no iron rod, chisel off the middle bamboo joints, and then connect the bamboo tubes , leading water from a high place to a low place.

The village chief and Jiaer shouted wonders when they understood it, and arranged for people to cut bamboo. Linda hurriedly stopped them and said, "Don't cut bamboo casually. This kind of plant can grow new as long as the bamboo whip is fine. But the grown bamboo It will take time to grow thicker, so let’s choose the right ones to cut, it has many uses, and we must learn to protect renewable resources.” Although the village chief and the others don’t understand what renewable resources are, they also understand what Linda said. Looking at the young magician with admiration, he turned around and arranged for the manpower.

Gal patted Linda on the shoulder boldly: "Little brother, you are really amazing! Today you solved two big problems!" Linda smiled and said nothing.

Because everyone was going to repair the terraced fields, they sent someone to cut enough bamboo under Linda's guidance after they were all finished.After two days, everyone finally connected the bamboo tubes, placed the water outlet on the highest terrace, and opened a small opening at the corner of each terrace for drainage.At the order of the village chief, the water inlet was placed on a small hole specially dug beside the pool, and the cover on the mouth of the bamboo tube was removed. When the first stream of spring water gushed out of the mouth of the water, all the people cheered.

At this moment, Linda was relieved, and then said goodbye to Gal and the village chief, and rushed to the next village.

Thor Village is in the northwest of Torway City, not too far away from Torway City. When Linda got there, Linda discovered that the village was next to a forest, which was much smaller than the forest in Ayer Village, so there was no running water and Rivers and villages all drill wells for water.As a result, it is very troublesome to water the fields. Although there are wells drilled in the middle of the fields, the water in the wells is too small and the water source is not enough for irrigation.

Linda inspected it and found that it was really troublesome here. He sat on a rock and thought carefully, but couldn't think of a good idea for a while.He scratched his head and simply walked around. After walking through a few fields, he suddenly thought, if the magic array is used to spray regularly, will this problem be solved?He looked around and saw no one, so he carefully took out the magic notebook from the interspatial ring, carefully flipped through the magic circle behind it, and really let him find a magic circle called "Scattering Technique". If an energy-guiding magic crystal is added to the array, it can control a fixed spray of water, which lasts for 3 minutes each time. Siam Nuodai originally developed this magic array to be used as a fire-fighting facility, but it was a pity that it left before it was applied.

Linda was overjoyed, but then a little frustrated. He couldn't draw, and he didn't have an Earth camera or copier at hand. This notebook couldn't be shown to others, and Nazgray wasn't around. It was really difficult.

He put the notes in, pretended to be thinking and sat on the side of the road, annoyed.After much deliberation, he had no choice but to stand up and go to Gal: "City Master, I think of a way now, but I need the help of my companion, but I don't know where he is now, and I don't know if you can help me find a solution." Where are you looking for?"

Gal asked, "Who do you need?" Linda gestured, "It's a black-haired man with me when I came last time, about this tall, named Nazgray." Gal thought for a while, As if remembering something, he said: "Oh, you mean that guy who looks a little proud? That guy has been with Quez recently, and he seems to be busy with other village affairs. I'll ask someone to go Find him." After speaking, he turned and went to order his followers.

With Quez?Linda was taken aback.This guy has been working with that guy on village affairs lately?Why didn't he know anything? The guy didn't say anything after asking several times before. Could it be that he wasn't willing to tell him?Linda was a little angry. Did this guy treat himself as a friend? There was nothing to hide about this kind of thing.He felt a little bored, he didn't even have the appetite to eat the barbecue and bread sent by the village head, so he just sat on the chair outside the house in a daze after a few polite words.

In less than a day, Nazgray finally came, along with Quez. Linda saw the two of them whispering to each other, with a kind of intimacy that had never been there before, and she couldn't help but feel an indescribable sullenness in her heart.When Quez saw him, he happily came over to shake hands with him, ignoring the unhappiness in his heart. He and Quez greeted each other, then pulled Nazgray to an angle where no one could see, took out the magic notes, and turned to Magic On that page, pointing to the drop spell, let Nazgray memorize it.Although Nazgray wondered why his tone became so blunt, he honestly wrote down the magic circle.Linda put the note back into the ring, pushed him away, walked up to Gal, asked the city lord to briefly explain the matter, skipped the source of the magic circle, and only said that it was taught by his teacher earlier, but he couldn't draw well. Taught it to Nazgray and asked him to help.

Garr ignored the others, and when he heard that this magic circle could solve the irrigation problem, he hurriedly called someone to prepare the magic materials and field locations according to the list Linda had listed.
