Chapter 115 Summer is coming
Bamboo shoots are actually available all year round, but spring bamboo shoots and winter bamboo shoots are the most delicious. They have high nutritional value and can also supplement the human body with various dietary fibers. This is really good. thing.
Unfortunately, after leaving the production area, it is generally difficult to eat fresh bamboo shoots in other places. At most, they are dried bamboo shoots.
Of course, Zhou Xu was so happy at this time, but it was not because of his appetite.
To be honest, although bamboo shoots are a local specialty of his hometown, Zhou Xu himself doesn’t particularly like to eat them, let alone dry ones, even fresh spring bamboo shoots that are tender and crispy.
The reason is that, to put it bluntly, outsiders cannot eat it and locals are tired of it.
Not to mention bamboo shoots as a product, bamboo itself is also very valuable and can be used as medicine. It can also be used to weave baskets and make various handicrafts. It was the main raw material for his grandmother's handicrafts in the past. one.
In addition, if this bamboo forest had appeared in front of him earlier, the problem of filling the water could be solved more easily.
After all, bamboo tubes are natural containers.
Without any polishing, few plants can grow as neatly as bamboo.
But even if we ignore these, bamboo still plays a very important role for Zhou Xu at this time!
That is used to make bamboo bows!
In addition to playing the "Dragon Climbing Sword" when he was a child, he occasionally played a role as a ranger with a bow on his back.
Bamboo itself is very tough, so making a bamboo bow with it is not difficult and the cost is also very low.
When I was a child, my ideas were relatively simple, and my work was very crude and crude. It was essentially a toy and had no lethality...
Hmm. The problem of lethality is big...
Now that I have grown up and my thinking is clearer, I can definitely upgrade on that basis to comprehensively evaluate the performance of bamboo bows. promote.
Just do it, Zhou Xu directly called Zhou Chongshan and others, and began to wander around the bamboo forest cutting bamboos and digging bamboo shoots.
During this period, he even sent a person back and asked him to bring more people to help.
At this point in time, Zhou Xu didn’t have much idea how many bamboo shoots to dig. After all, there was no shortage of food in the barren mountain camp for the time being.
But the demand for bamboo undoubtedly increased all of a sudden. People were called in, and the focus was to cut more bamboo back.
The research and development of bamboo bows requires the consumption of bamboo. After the successful research and development, it is even more necessary to produce large quantities of bamboo.
According to the plan in his mind, he basically just needs to cut as much bamboo as possible. When the transportation team arrives, they will start transporting it to the Black Moon Camp in batches.
Yes, he has no plans to conduct research and development at the Barren Mountain Camp.
Zhuang Mengdie is there at the Black Moon Camp. If you want to develop and make things, those skillful hands will be in vain.
Instead of letting him immerse himself in the trouble, it would be better to bring Zhuang Mengdie with him, which would definitely get twice the result with half the effort.
In this way, during this period, except for the plowing of new fields and the large-scale transfer and planting of crops that directly affect the food output in the barren mountain camp, other work can be put aside first.
The most important thing right now is to quickly collect bamboo, which is an important raw material.
Following Zhou Xu’s order, the Barren Mountain Camp was operating at full capacity.
While the tribe members were busy and busy, Zhou Xu himself lived a very leisurely life, but it was not easy.
After a large amount of mantra power was consumed, the dizzy feeling was not pleasant.
The main thing he does every day now, besides paying attention to the cultivation of new fields, is to rest.
Because the day for him to leave the barren mountain camp is getting closer and closer. Before that, he must quickly regain his strength and use the 'Eye of Insight' to confirm the remaining panels. . On this day, according to reports from his subordinates, Shi Lei, who led the transport team, successfully arrived at the barren mountain camp.
“Chief!”
At this time, Shi Lei's whole face was disgraced, and he looked completely dusty.
I think I just arrived here, and I didn’t even have time to rest and wash up, so I hurried over to see him, the leader.
"Shi Lei, you have worked hard on this journey. You should know the general situation. You should have a night's rest first. I will tell you about various things here tomorrow morning."
"Yes!"
After responding, looking at Zhou Xu who looked tired and obviously exhausted, Shi Lei couldn't help but ask...
"Chief, who are you?"
Faced with Shi Lei's question, Zhou Xu took two seconds to react, and his whole spirit seemed to be in a trance.
"Oh me? It's nothing serious. It's just that I have used up too much strength in the past two days. I am so tired that my reaction has become a bit sluggish now."
said Here, Zhou Xu was in a trance again, and then he forced himself to express...
"Anyway, let's rest first, and we can talk about other things after resting."
After saying that, Zhou Xu, who had originally planned to go back to the tent to rest, stopped dilly-dallying and returned to the tent safely under the escort of Zhou Zhongshan.
At this moment, he only felt that his head seemed to weigh a thousand pounds. With a 'boom', he plunged his head onto the animal skin mat and fell asleep as if in a coma.
Facing this situation, Zhou Chongshan was obviously used to it.
This period of time was more difficult than Zhou Xu expected. There were more than a hundred people waiting for him to confirm the panel at the barren mountain camp.
According to his plan, he wanted to read all the panels of more than a hundred people before leaving.
Now it seems that he made a mistake in judgment and was too confident in his own strength.
In the past two days, he has seen almost half of the people. Even if he rests for a few more days before leaving, he will not be able to bear it, but he must stay in this barren mountain camp until he has finished watching. It would delay things too much.
So after waking up, he made a decision.
[This time I return to the Black Moon Camp. Anyway, I have to take fifty more people away from here. I won’t read these fifty people for now, and just read the ones I want to stay here. 】
After subtracting fifty people, there was not much left. Zhou Xu, who had determined this idea, successfully completed the job after two days of rest.
What is regrettable during this period is that so far, except for Zhao Geng, there is really no talent here.
Seizing the gap between these two days, he had finished explaining everything to Shi Lei. Now Zhou Xu has no intention of staying here any longer.
After the order was given, the wooden pallet truck of their transport team was filled with bamboo, and the group set off directly on the return journey.
After leaving the mountain forest area and entering the Gobi area, Zhou Xu clearly felt the increase in ambient temperature.
【The weather is definitely above 30 degrees, right? 】
Looking up at the dazzling sun, Zhou Xu clearly realized that summer was coming!
