Chapter 22 Pushing Trees Personally
After Qu Mao had a meeting with the five people who stayed in the territory, he waited in the living room for Su Qiaoer to roast the oyster snails that Su Yan had brought back. Su Yan hid in her own room with the roll of fabric in her arms.
Although Su Yan said that she would use the roll of fabric to sew a new cloth robe for Qu Mao, Qu Mao didn't care at all. According to his thinking, it was impossible for Su Yan to make a robe by herself.
Other citizens Qu Mao also basically understood the results of the morning exploration, and arranged new tasks for everyone, hoping to finish some important things before dark.
Su Nan carried an ordinary shovel to the edge of the reservoir and continued to dig a new reservoir.
Jia Sixie and Franklin King went to the forest in the south of the territory and continued to cut down trees.
Zhang Da wandered around and went wherever he needed help. At present, he is mainly helping to cut down trees. The main tool for cutting down trees is a low-quality hatchet, which is really inconvenient.
After Su Qiaoer moved the steamed oyster snails to the table in the living room, Qu Mao killed twelve of them. After Su Yan was called out, she only ate five and went back to her room. Qu Mao took a few glances.
After coming to this Continent for Hegemony, Qu Mao has not cut down trees in a serious manner except for cutting down bamboo in the bamboo forest.
Currently, the only tool for felling trees in the territory of Yi Village is a low-quality hatchet. For these trees that are thicker than the mouth of a bowl, a low-quality hatchet is definitely a challenge.
Qu Mao wanted to make a metal saw, but Qu Mao didn't know the forging equipment and craftsmanship.
When he came to the felling site, Qu Mao found that Jia Sixie and Franklin King were facing a tree as thick as a bucket, and they took turns waving inferior hatchets.
Receiving the inferior machete from Jia Sixie, Qu Mao went up to chop it himself, only to find out that no matter how strong the person who fells the tree is, the damage that everyone seems to do to the tree changes in a regular way.
About two hours later, Qu Mao, Jia Sixie, Franklin King, and Zhang Da, who came to help from time to time, took turns wielding inferior hatchets, and finally felled the tree as thick as a bucket.
After the tree fell, it quickly turned into a pile of wood, and then disappeared, leaving only some branches, leaves and sticks of different thicknesses remaining on the scene.
At this time, Qu Mao realized that logging around the territory is not a physical process like in another world. It is still a gamified data process around the territory of the Continent.
When the number of felling with a knife reaches a certain value, the felled trees will automatically become the timber resources of the territory, even without any moving action by the logging residents.
This cognition, if he hadn’t personally participated in the work of rolling trees, Qu Mao would not have realized it.
Su Qiaoer finished processing Qu Mao and Su Yan's leftovers from eating sea oyster snails, and cleaned up the wooden bowls, wooden spoons, etc., and continued to pick up stones around the territory.
Qu Mao personally participated in pulling the trees, and Jia Sixie and Franklin King did not have to accompany them all the way to wait for the shift change. However, whenever Qu Mao went to cut trees in person, one of Franklin King and Jia Sixie would go to clean up the cultivated land or give the corn seeds planted. Watering, or just raking the blank plow with a poor-quality wooden rake.
Zhang Da even asked Su Qiaoer to borrow the ordinary kitchen knife, and joined the ranks of pulling trees.
In one afternoon, Qu Mao, Jia Sixie, Franklin Jin and Zhang Da joined forces to cut down five big trees and harvested 158 units of timber.
During the process of cutting down trees, Qu Mao had the urge to open all three bronze treasure chests in his backpack more than once. The tools available now are really rubbish.
Of course, what Qu Mao wants to get out of the bronze treasure chest is a fighter like Zhang Da. Now not only are the tools simple and seriously insufficient, but also manpower is lacking.
Even after recruiting new citizens, the living environment of the lord's hut will become more crowded, and Qu Mao doesn't even want to think about this issue.
When the sky was about to darken, Sunan had dug a new one-meter-wide, two-meter-long, and one-meter-deep reservoir beside the reservoir, but the old and new reservoirs were not connected.
Judging from the lines drawn by a few branches on the ground, it is obvious that Sunan is not satisfied with the new reservoir of this capacity. Tomorrow, he will continue to use ordinary shovels to expand the capacity of the new reservoir by more than twice. .
Qu Mao waved his hand to ask Jia Sixie, Franklin Jin, and Zhang Da to deal with the branches, sticks and other residues from the logging site.
After receiving the order, the three of them immediately divided up the work and cooperated. Zhang Da cleaned up the branches and sticks, while Jia Sixie cut the weeds on the ground with a borrowed kitchen knife. Go to the open space and wait for another day of exposure tomorrow. These weeds will be turned into hay and become one of the common consumable resources in the territory of Yi Village.
Qu Mao himself went to clean up the salt from the iron pot, and then handed the iron pot to Su Qiaoer.
When Su Qiaoer saw that the iron pot was empty, she immediately started preparing dinner in the kitchen.
The kitchen in the territory of Yi Village is ventilated on all sides, only the top is slightly covered with hay, and Su Qiaoer did not light a torch. She prepared dinner with the light from the earthen stove, and she did not seem to be troubled by lack of light.
The ingredients for dinner are the oysters, snails and sea fish that Qu Mao and Su Yan brought back from the sea in the afternoon. Although there are some changes, the most important ingredient in Yi Village is still meat. There is no doubt that eating meat for a long time will definitely bring new For example, Qu Mao now feels that his constipation seems to have become more serious.
Su Qiaoer suggested to build the toilet. Qu Mao didn't arrange anyone to finish it in the afternoon, but Qu Mao already had a general idea in his mind.
That is to use thin bamboo poles as bones and hay as skins to make a few hay mats and dig a cesspit. Use hay mats for partition to distinguish male and female toilets. It is best to set up a ceiling according to the style of the kitchen. In order to facilitate lighting, it is best to leave a one-foot-wide blank area between the surrounding hay mats and the ceiling, and it is also convenient for the toilet to discharge odors.
This project is planned to be done tomorrow, maybe you can get some cheating points after it is done.
The cheating system is relatively quiet today, probably because Qu Mao has almost accumulated 100 cheating points, and the cheating system is suffocating, ready to clear Qu Mao's cheating points in one go.
But Qu Mao didn’t want to care about these things anymore. He was looking forward to the night, because he had made up his mind to open at least one bronze treasure chest tonight, even if there was an 80% chance of opening something he didn’t need.
Although this deserted island has already been searched, Qu Mao still wants to stabilize the territory first, and then use the cheating value to ask the cheating system about strategies. After all, except for wood and stones in the resource list, Qu Mao cannot get from the deserted island. It is against the law of the game to acquire any other resources.
