Apocalypse Lord - 49. Autumn harvest 1

Time flies, and it is the 71st day in a blink of an eye.

The text in the upper right corner has a new change, “Autumn, harvest day.”

“Harvest day?” Yunling squeezed the mung bean cake and ate it with small bites.

I don’t know how to make this mung bean cake. It is delicate and soft, with a great taste.

Yunling fell in love after eating it once, but Zhengzhou didn’t have to eat it in the future, so by coincidence, You Qingwen gave her a few more boxes.

“It doesn’t sound like bad news.” She was eating cakes and thinking, “Did the game’s conscience find out that the player is finally allowed to recuperate?”

After pondering for a moment, Yunling decided to take the team out to see what was going on in the wild.

At 8 o’clock, the team set off on time.

Today’s team is different from before. There are more than forty NPCs, and forty collection squads, which add up to eight/ninety people.

Yun Ling glanced around and divided everyone into two teams.

Then, the armor led a team to go out on an expedition, and she led the other team in the opposite direction.

Autumn is indeed a good harvest day, and there are many more resource points refreshed than on Peaceful Day.

Within a few minutes of walking, Yunling saw berries, corn fields, and potatoes. She didn’t stop the collection team, but moved on.

According to speculation, winter will be difficult, and she wants to prepare for the winter in advance.

After walking for more than ten minutes, I met a cotton field. Yunling stopped and arranged for players to collect.

You don’t need to order more, the players work consciously and in order.

At this moment, the grass swayed lightly. Eight gray rabbits hop around and gather together to graze.

Yunling shouted, “Master!”

It was too late and then soon, thunder and lightning, rocks, fireballs, and hail poured out, instantly drowning the gray rabbit.

But in the blink of an eye, all the mobs were wiped out, only rabbit meat, rabbit skin, copper coins, and white rabbit fur gloves floated in the air.

Yunling picked up the dropped items one by one, saying that it was good. Whether it is rabbit fur or rabbit fur gloves, they are suitable for keeping out the cold.

In winter, it is not only necessary to provide players with warm equipment, but also the combat NPCs under their hands. In this way, you would have to prepare fifty copies for less.

Not long after, the cotton fields were all collected.

“Let’s go.” Yun Ling’s thoughts were ups and downs, and his face was not obvious, and he took his steps calmly.

**

In the evening, Yunling returned to the house to rest.

She made herself a cup of Pu’er tea first, and then drank the tea while dealing with territorial matters.

Level: 3

Attributes: Strength 8, Dexterity 8, Physical Strength 8, Intelligence 6, Spirit 6.

Combat skills: None

Life skills: advanced sewing

Items that can be made: bandages, quiver, cloth shoes, cotton shoes, linen, cotton clothes, cotton trousers, knee pads, quilts, blankets, leather gloves, leather clothes.

The moment I saw the items that could be made, I felt the breath of winter.

Yunling did not hesitate to hire, named the NPC “Tailor C”, and then sent to the tailor shop to start making cotton-padded clothes, cotton pants, knee pads, quilts, and blankets.

Yunling really wanted to upgrade his farmland to level 2, but the blacksmith shop he wanted to do was almost time to unlock.

However, once the smithy is unlocked, mining requires a lot of labor, and the farmland may lack sufficient manpower to take care of it.

The fields are no better than bushes, and bushes are vigorous, and they can harvest without care. If there is no one to look after the fields, it is not impossible for the land to reduce its production drastically.

How to do?

Yunling is in a dilemma.

Before she could come up with a countermeasure, the system sounded a prompt, “The player’You Qingwen’ requested to enter the house, is it allowed?”

Since her identity, she bought a stone house, and became a neighbor, You Qingwen has often visited her house. One is to deliver salt, and the other is to bring her some delicious food.

Yunling clicked “Yes” casually to let people into the house.

“This is freshly made table salt.” You Qingwen said as she took out the wooden jar and wooden bowl from her backpack. “This is freshly fried sugar cake. Try it?”

The sugar cake is golden in color, and the skin is crispy and the inner layer is soft.

“Let it go first.” Yun Ling had a tragic look.

She also wants to let go of her belly and eat as much as she wants, but her weight is not allowed.

“Eat while it’s hot, it won’t taste so good when it’s cold.” You Qingwen reminded.

“I know.” Yunling decided to change the subject. “It’s almost winter, and every household needs salt to make pickles.”

“Have you ever asked the tech giants you picked up? Can the output be increased?”

“I’ve asked.” When talking about business, You Qingwen’s expression was serious. “He said that some of the instruments he carried were destroyed by accident. The current daily output of salt is about 1,000 packs.”

“If you want to increase the output, you need to find a special master to open the furnace, and customize the experimental tools according to the requirements.”

Speaking of this, she looked at Yunling hopefully, as if she felt that the lord was omnipotent and there must be a way to solve it.

Yunling, “…”

“Forget it,” she said slowly.

“What? Can’t do it?” You Qingwen was surprised.

Yun Ling: “This question is beyond the outline. There is no furnace in the building to be unlocked.”

“Okay.” You Qingwen shrugged, “In fact, residents don’t have to make bacon. Bacon and bacon can also be stored for a long time.”

“A family I know has already started looking for jars to make wotou. It will be cold and the jars will be outside the house, and they can eat all winter.”

“There are also dried sweet potatoes, potato cakes, homemade mustard, chili meat sauce…all are storage-resistant.”

“There are many ways, but bacon is only one of them.”

Yun Ling said, “The shelf life of game materials is extremely long, most of which are as long as 180 days. Even if they are not pickled, they can be stored.”

Mentioning this incident, You Qingwen remembered the large piles of rotten food in the house, and her heart ached, “Speaking of which you once reminded me to stock up more game materials. At that time, I was exploring and searching for a lot of food. I didn’t take your words to heart. Who knows that when summer comes, no amount of food is good enough, it’s all spoiled and moldy.”

In retrospect, I still suffer from angina.

“There was no summer in the beta period, and I was just guessing. It was so coincidental that I guessed it.” Yun Ling smiled helplessly.

“So from then on, I don’t mind using the worst malicious speculation game.” While she was talking, You Qingwen stood up, “There is still a lot to be done, I have to go.”

“Okay.” Yunling sent the guest out, then immersed in his thoughts.

The next day, a new building “Blacksmith’s Shop” appeared in Lingyun Town.

At the same time, the mission hall and territory released seven new collection missions.

[Acquisition of saltpeter, 1 copper coin 1 piece. 】

【Acquisition of coal ore, 3 copper coins and 1 piece. 】

【Acquisition of copper ore, 3 copper coins and 1 piece. 】

【Acquisition of iron ore, 5 copper coins and 1 piece. 】

[Acquisition of cold iron ore, 8 copper coins and 1 piece. 】

【Acquisition of black iron ore, 15 copper coins and 1 piece. 】

【Acquisition of Wujin ore, 30 copper coins and 1 piece. 】

One person was handing in the linen cloth, glimpsing the new task, and ecstasy appeared when his eyes were neutral, “I went into the cave to hide from the rain before, but I found a piece of black gold ore! It is so simple to exchange for 30 copper coins??”

He couldn’t believe it and quickly submitted the ore.

In the next second, Wujin ore is -1 and copper coins are +30.

“This is much higher than hunting income! It’s safe, no risk!” The man was overjoyed, and ran out of the mission hall-he planned to bring tools, and then invite relatives and friends to go mining in the cave together.

“Copper ore and iron ore can be exchanged for money? There are drops when fighting monsters!”

“I have studied blueprints. In order to create a purple outfit, I specially dig a black iron ore, but now I have two pieces left.”

“Although I have never digged a mine, I don’t know where the mine is… But in order to complete the collection task, I can!!!”

The sentiment is enthusiastic, and many players set out to prepare and plan to engage in the lucrative job of “mining”.

…

At the same time, the system prompts constantly.

[Congratulations on your acquisition of Wujin Ore*1. 】

[Congratulations on obtaining iron ore*1. 】

[Congratulations on obtaining copper ore*2. 】

In the stone house, Yunling smiled brightly.

What are you afraid of? Increase the purchase price of ore, and own players take the initiative to participate.

Yunling opened the panel and upgraded the farmland to level 2.

Farmland (Level 2): You can hire people to cultivate and harvest crops steadily. It takes 100 copper coins to open up a field. (Currently, you can have up to 50 fields)

“In this way, the problem is solved.” Yunling said relaxedly.

**

Smithy.

Qiao Qiao entered and asked repeatedly, “Is there a kitchen knife? Is there a machete? Is there a small dagger?”

There is only one blacksmith in the shop, and he is smelting ore at the moment.

Pulling the bellows, the flames soared fiercely, and then there was a sound of clinking iron.

The blacksmith Jia Urn said, “I just got a batch of ore, and it’s being smelted at the moment. It will take a while to make a finished product.”

“What will the store sell in the future?” Qiaoqiao asked.

Don’t blame her for her heart, she is really in urgent need of tools.

A chopper can cook vegetables, a machete can speed up collection and harvesting, and a dagger can defend yourself. It would be great if all these things were sold.

Blacksmith Armor did not say a word, but revealed the attribute panel.

【Name: Blacksmith Armor】

Combat skills: None

Life skills: primary mining, intermediate smelting, intermediate forging.

Craftable items: small animal traps, iron pots, iron picks, small knives, kitchen knives, short knives, steel knives, machetes, bronze swords, broad swords, seven-star swords, chain mail, bronze helmets, bronze shields, and iron shields.

There are kitchen knives, choppers, and short knives!

Qiaoqiao’s eyes lit up, and she said excitedly, “Then you smelt first, and I will come at night.”

**

Summer passes and autumn comes, and the heat fades away.

As the high temperature dissipated, the non-game material stock in the warehouse was just exhausted.

The back kitchen of the restaurant.

Chef A gently reminded, “My lord, the daily limited supply of food may affect the store’s business.”

“It doesn’t matter.” Yunling didn’t care very much. “The restaurant exists not to make money. It is to provide a place to spend money to buy food when the residents eat up all their food.”

“From today, 50 multi-grain steamed buns and 50 bowls of porridge will be served for breakfast.”

“For lunch, 50 pieces of black rice cakes and 50 bowls of rice soup are served.”

“For dinner, 30 rice cakes, 30 vegetable salads, and 30 sandwiches are served.”

“Breakfast and lunch can’t be sold out, so they can be sold together in the evening. If the food is not sold out that day, you can leave it to the NPC for dinner.”

The menu was decided after careful consideration. She made a comprehensive analysis of the number of people in the territory, the consumption capacity of residents, the situation of food storage, and the daily income of the collection team before setting this number.

Under normal circumstances, the stock is too much.

Nowadays, all the foods sold in restaurants are supplemented foods. The prices are quite high, and not many people can afford them.

On the other hand, it is autumn and harvest day, and wild resources are everywhere. If residents want to save money, they can dig out the ingredients and cook their own meals.

After making up his mind, Yunling ordered to go down and let the chefs act according to plan.

**

In fact, if you don’t eat up the stored food as soon as possible, players will find that after a summer, non-game-produced food has become moldy, expired, and all become inedible.

Some people lamented, “What kind of bad luck is this for me! The food I finally shed from my teeth was wasted in vain.”

“I knew it would expire, so I might as well let go of my stomach and have a good meal!”

“In my rural area, I stocked enough food for three to five years. The family hurriedly hurried, but they didn’t finish it before the expiration date. Yes, I will change the stocking of game ingredients in the future, I hope it can be stored for a longer time.”

“Hey, there is a fluke mentality in my heart. If I sold a portion of the grain at a low price, I could get some copper coins back, and I don’t have to watch it rot and mold.”

…

Most residents did not have such happy troubles after eating the food for one spring and one summer.

After consuming the food searched everywhere, people automatically changed their recipes and used game ingredients to cook.

Once the potatoes are roasted, a little salt can satisfy your hunger.

Wild vegetables can be eaten with a mix.

Picking mushrooms, millet peppers, and meat sauce, thinking about it for a while, adjusting the recipe ratio, you can make a good meat mushroom sauce.

The bamboo tube is filled with fragrant rice and meat. Add appropriate amount of water and put it in the fire to cook until it becomes a bamboo tube rice.

If you really don’t have the talent for cooking and are too lazy to cook your own food, you can buy and eat in a restaurant, hire someone to cook it, or go to the night market to buy supper.

Every night, there are always live players who are ingenious and good at cooking, setting up stalls and showcasing their craftsmanship.

“Delicious roast lamb!”

“Freshly baked glutinous rice eight-treasure rice.”

“Fried udon with mushrooms.”

“Steamed custard! Crucian carp soup!”

Only other people can’t think of it, and they can’t do it without them. The food of the past reappears in the rivers and lakes, and the population is flowing.

As a neighbor of a barbecue expert, Yunling suffered greatly. In the evening, the smell of barbecue must be wafting from the stone house next door, which really affects the good-neighborly relations.

Just when Yunling was about to come to the door to protest, Mr. Neighbors took the initiative to visit, “I made skewers. There are grilled gluten, grilled rice cake, grilled squid, grilled pork belly, grilled fat beef. You can eat it.”

Yunling, “…”

The outer layer of the skewers is coated with sauce, and it smells great!

Take a bite, sweet and spicy, spicy and sweet, it tastes very tasty and enjoyable.

“I like to send it to you next time.” Mr. Neighbor is very kind.

Yunling: Forgive you.

**

The 75th day.

The berries are harvested and the crops are mature. Five days have passed since the last harvest.

At this point, Yunling finally understood what it meant by “a batch of crops can be harvested every 5-10 days”.

Harvest day, 5 days can be harvested.

It can be harvested in 10 days on disaster days and peace days.

It’s not a random value for fighting character at all.

After thinking about it, Yun Ling calmed down instead, “It doesn’t matter whether it’s a fixed date, it’s convenient to arrange NPC work.”

**

In the autumn harvest season, food is everywhere, and residents hoard food to prepare for the winter.

On the open space behind the wooden house, Xiaxi did not follow the trend of transplanting bushes, nor did he cultivate vegetable fields or plant wild vegetables. Instead, he found wood, soil, and sand to make a bread kiln.

The making of the bread kiln is not cumbersome, and it is not the first time for Xia Xi to do it. It stands to reason that it will be done soon.

The problem is that during the construction process, she found that the key material “bricks” was missing.

Before the end, bricks can be bought everywhere.

After the doomsday, I can’t eat enough to eat, let alone other things.

If you burn it yourself, it will take less than three to five months to make the bricks.

“Can I only give up?” Xia Xi hesitated.

After hesitating, his brother Xia Handong went home and shouted as soon as he walked in the door, “Xiaoxi, come and see! I will bring you the bricks you wanted!”

Xia Xi was surprised. When she found out that what her brother brought back was indeed a red brick, she was surprised and delighted, “Where did it come from?”

“Daguai drop.” Xia Handong explained, “I met a few clay monsters. After killing them, they not only drop clay, but also bricks.”

Seeing his sister holding a brick in love, he added, “Look if the quantity is enough. If it is not enough, I will fix a few more tomorrow.”

“Not enough, I have to brush a few more.” As he said, Xia Xi smiled sweetly, “Thank you, brother.”

“Okay, you will brush the Clay Monster tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, until you have enough.” Xia Handong responded readily.

After waiting for a few days to gather the materials, Xia Xi officially started to do it.

Build a base first, and then pave the insulation layer with sand and stones. Then make mud tires on the bottom plate, wrap the mud tires with cloth, reserve a place for the chimney, and build the kiln outside.

After the kiln is built, take out the cloth and mud, and add a small door made of wooden boards. Then the bread kiln is ready.

Despite its large size, the inner tank is similar to the built-in oven.

After finishing the work, Xia Xi kneaded the flour and put it in the bread kiln to bake.

Bread kilns are also called earth kilns. It does not directly use firewood to heat the food, but after the firewood is fully burned, it relies on the radiant heat of the thick wall to heat the food.

The bread baked in this way is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, which is more delicious than the oven-made bread.

Xia Xi made five ovens to toast, ate one by herself, and left the remaining four for her brother.

Xia Handong took a sip, showing nostalgia, “That’s it! When I was young, my grandma made it for us, but unfortunately I never had it again.”

Xia Xi thought to herself, that was, later you went out to work and only returned home once a year during the Spring Festival. Sometimes in order to save money, I am reluctant to come back during the Spring Festival.

Looking at the remaining bread, she said solemnly, “Brother, I plan to set up a stall to do business.”

“Selling bread?” Xia Handong reacted immediately.

“En.” Xia Xi nodded, “I’m not good at fighting. I used to rely on you to go hunting to support my family. Now, I want to do something that I can do.”

“Yes.” In Xia Handong’s view, there is nothing wrong with trying to do business. If you can’t sell it, your family can help eat it up.

It doesn’t matter if he is different from his elder brother, Xia Xi made up his mind to make some achievements. Don’t say anything else, at least you have to support yourself.

Next to the wooden shed, Qiaoqiao was making bacon with Granny Qian.

The practice of bacon varies from place to place. Mother-in-law Qian is used to cutting the pork into pieces, then preliminarily marinating them with salt, and then starting to smoke and roast.

In order to avoid the ashes during smoking, Mother-in-law Qian specially asked Qiaoqiao to set up a stone bonfire in the open space.

Different firewood will also affect the taste of the finished product. In order to eat delicious bacon, Qiaoqiao deliberately picked up cypress leaves and cypress branches.

It takes three days to smoke the firewood.

During the period, the fragrance was tangy and permeated near the wooden shed, causing passers-by to look back frequently.

Players even came forward to inquire, “Is this bacon sold?”

Qiaoqiao replied uniformly, “I don’t sell it, but I made it for my family to eat.”

The bacon is transparent and shiny, bright in color, and smells very unique. The player stood still and took a deep breath, almost unable to move his legs.

Some were so greedy, they just stood by and secretly learned, planning to go back and make the gourd paintings by themselves.

Qiaoqiao and Granny Qian were busy with the work they were doing, just as they watched, and didn’t drive them away.

Somewhere in the town.

Lu Fei held a knife in his hand and cut the wood quickly. Not long after, a “door”-like wooden frame gradually took shape.

In order to prevent unstable standing, the base is deliberately set in a triangle shape to increase stability.

Not far away, his cousin Lu Feng was grabbing a handful of straw and rubbing the rope.

Working on the job, a woman came over and asked, “How do you sell wooden racks?”

Lu Feng raised his face and answered with a smile, “One of 20 copper coins.”

Upon hearing this, the woman couldn’t help showing a painful color, “Where is the straw rope?”

Lu Feng: “Three copper coins one.”

“It’s too expensive.” The woman thought to herself, this is not doing business, it’s clearly stealing money!

“You can’t say that.” Lu Feng analyzed seriously, “Look, it’s almost winter, everyone is busy hoarding food.”

“Do you have enough salt for bacon? Do you know how to make bacon? It seems that only bacon is most suitable for people like us who don’t know anything.”

“Buy the wooden rack back. How convenient is it to hang the meat on the rack with straw ropes? It will be air-dried in a few days.”

The woman was obviously moved.

For ordinary people, the salt in restaurants is really not cheap. On the other hand, even if she is willing to spend money to buy it, she can only buy one pack a day at most. If you want to make more pickles, it’s not enough.

As for what kind of bacon, she had also heard of it, and she stood there to steal the teacher for two days. As a result, the taste is completely different from others, and I don’t know which step went wrong.

After thinking about it, it’s true that dried bacon is the easiest to make.

The woman thought about it, but said, “It’s too expensive. 10 copper coins are about the same on a wooden stand.”

Lu Feng smiled bitterly, “This is purely manual work, and I can’t do a few in a day. Your offer is equivalent to smashing our jobs.”

The woman was speechless, and then she said, “A price of 20 copper coins is fine. You can send me some straw ropes.”

A lot of lip and tongue.

The woman paid 24 copper coins, took a wooden frame and three straw ropes, and left with satisfaction.

Lu Feng was also very happy.

Residents like them who are not good at fighting are better to stay in the territory and do manual work than to go out and fight the mobs.

Besides…the wooden racks and straw ropes have been selling hot recently.

Thinking of happy places, Lu Feng couldn’t help but grinned.

**

Feeling the enthusiasm of the residents of the territory for hoarding food, Yunling tried to make bacon out of curiosity.

【Name: Marinated Meat】

Quality: Normal

Effect of use: Fill the stomach.

Shelf life: 237 days.

And three days ago, the ingredients clearly showed–

【Name: Pork Belly】

Quality: Normal

Effect of use: Fill the stomach.

Shelf life: 180 days.

Excluding the three days of pickling, the shelf life is increased by 60 days, showing that pickling is indeed effective.

Yunling tried smoked roasting and air-drying again, and found that the shelf life was also +60.

“240 days, 8 seasons converted into game time, the residents will definitely be able to finish eating before the expiration date.” After confirming the result, she was finally relieved.

At the time of writing this chapter, Baidu’s “bread kiln” information was included. In addition, I also watched the whole process video of Li Ziqi making the bread kiln.

There is something I want to clarify for a long time. Although it is indeed spring, summer, autumn and winter, I did not say that I only write about one cycle…
