Chapter 115 Summer is Coming

Bamboo shoots are actually available all year round, but spring and winter bamboo shoots are the most delicious. They have high nutritional value and can also supplement various dietary fibers for the human body. This is a real good thing.

Unfortunately, outside the place of production, it is generally difficult to eat fresh bamboo shoots. The most you can get are dried bamboo shoots.

Of course, Zhou Xu was so happy at this moment 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 dried bamboo shoots, even the tender and crispy fresh spring bamboo shoots are no exception.

The reason, to put it bluntly, is that outsiders can't eat it and locals are tired of it.

Apart from the bamboo shoots, bamboo itself is also very valuable. It can be used as medicine, and can also be used to weave baskets and make various handicrafts. It was one of the main raw materials for his grandmother's handicrafts.

In addition, if this bamboo forest had appeared in front of him earlier, the problem of getting water could have been 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 has a very important function for Zhou Xu at this time! That is to make bamboo bows! When he was a child, in addition to liking to play with the "Dragon Sword", he occasionally played the role of a ranger with a bow on his back.

Bamboo itself is very tough, and making bamboo bows with it is not difficult and the cost is also low.

When I was a kid, I had simple ideas and made it very crudely. It was essentially a toy and had no lethality...

Well, if there is lethality, then the problem is big...

Now that I have grown up and my thinking is clearer, I can completely upgrade on that basis to comprehensively improve the performance of the bamboo bow.

Zhou Xu did what he said. He called Zhou Chongshan and others and started wandering around in the bamboo forest, cutting bamboo and digging bamboo shoots.

During this period, he even sent someone back specifically to bring more people to help.

At this point in time, Zhou Xu didn't care too much about how many bamboo shoots he dug. After all, there was no shortage of food in the barren mountain camp for the time being.

However, the demand for bamboo undoubtedly increased all of a sudden. The key point of calling people over was to cut more bamboo.

The research and development of bamboo bows requires the consumption of bamboo. After the successful research and development, large-scale production of bamboo is even more necessary.

According to the plan in his mind right now, he just needs to cut as many bamboos as possible, and once the transport team arrives, he will start transporting them to the Black Moon Camp in batches.

That's right, he had no plan to conduct research and development here in the deserted mountain camp.

Zhuang Mengdie is at the Black Moon Camp. If she wants to research and develop something, she would put her deft hands to good use.

Instead of letting him struggle on his own, it would be better to bring Zhuang Mengdie along, which would definitely achieve twice the result with half the effort.

In this way, during this period of time, except for the cultivation of new fields that directly affect the grain output of the barren mountain camp, and the large-scale transfer and planting of crops, other work can be put on hold.

The most important thing at the moment is to quickly collect bamboo, which is an important raw material.

Following Zhou Xu's order, the camp in the deserted mountains began to operate at full capacity.

During this period when the tribal members were busy as hell, Zhou Xu himself had a very leisurely life, but it was not easy.

After a large amount of mantra power was consumed, the dizzy feeling was not pleasant.

His main activity every day now, besides paying attention to the cultivation of new fields, is to rest.

Because the day when he would leave the camp in the deserted mountains was getting closer day by day, before that, he had to quickly recover his strength and use the "Eye of Insight" to confirm the remaining panels.

On this day, according to the report of his subordinates, Shi Lei, who led the transport team, successfully arrived at the camp in the barren mountains.

"leader!"

At this time, Shi Lei was covered in dust and looked completely exhausted.

I guess he just arrived here and didn't have time to rest or wash up, but he hurried to see the leader.

"Shi Lei, you've worked hard along the way. You should know the general situation. Take a rest for a night. Tomorrow morning, I'll tell you about everything here."

"yes!"

After he responded, Shi Lei couldn't help but ask Zhou Xu, who looked exhausted, after seeing him...

"Chief, what are you doing?"

Facing Shi Lei's question, it took Zhou Xu two full seconds to react, and he seemed a little dazed.

"Oh, me? It's nothing serious. I just used up too much energy in the past two days. I'm so tired that my reaction has become a little slow."

At this point, Zhou Xu was in a trance again, and then he tried to be alert and said...

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Anyway, take a rest first, and we'll talk about other things after you've rested."

After saying that, Zhou Xu, who had originally planned to go back to the tent to rest, did not delay any longer and returned safely to the tent under the escort of Zhou Chongshan.

At this moment, he felt as if his head weighed a thousand pounds. With a thump, he slumped down on the animal skin mat and fell into a deep sleep as if he was unconscious.

Faced with this situation, Zhou Chongshan was obviously used to it.

These days have been more difficult than Zhou Xu had expected. At the barren mountain camp, there are still more than a hundred people waiting for him to confirm the panel.

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 wrong judgment and was too confident in his own abilities.

Over the past two days, he had seen almost half of the people. Even if he rested for a few more days before leaving, he would not be able to see enough. But it would be too much of a waste of time for him to stay in this camp in the deserted mountains until he finished seeing everything.

So after waking up from a good sleep, he made a decision.

[This time when I return to the Black Moon Camp, I still have to take fifty more people away from here, so I won’t look at these fifty people for now. I will just look at the ones who are going to stay here.]

After subtracting fifty people, there were not many left. Zhou Xu, who had determined this idea, successfully completed the task after resting for two days.

The regrettable thing is that up to now, apart from Zhao Geng, there is really no talented person here.

Taking advantage of the past two days, he has explained everything he needed to say to Shi Lei. Now Zhou Xu has no plans to stay here any longer.

After the order was given, the wooden carts of their transport team were loaded with bamboo, and the group set out on their return journey.

After leaving the mountainous area and entering the Gobi area, Zhou Xu clearly felt the increase in ambient temperature.

[This weather is definitely over 30 degrees, right? ]

Looking up at the dazzling sun, Zhou Xu clearly realized that summer is coming! (End of this chapter)
