Chapter 198 "Flowing Green" Fertilizer for Giant Dragon Bamboo
The sky was bright.
Nana woke up from her sleep and the first thing she saw when she opened her eyes was her husband gazing at her with loving eyes, his chin resting on his hand: "Good morning, darling."
She leaned over and kissed his cheek: "Kikik, good morning."
The couple flew out of the underground cave hand in hand, lined up at the lakeside to get breakfast, woke up their daughter who was still sleeping in the cubicle, and the family ate a warm and loving meal together before heading to their respective posts to begin their day's work.
The affairs in the Land of Sin are much more complicated than those in Lotte City. It also requires a handover with the former official, Nonori. So even with Dodorin and Pupuli sharing the workload, Kikik is still quite busy. However, the most important thing in the Land of Sin right now is to receive and settle the refugees. Other matters can be dealt with later. Kikik basically flies around outside the White Wall every day.
Nana, the newly appointed construction officer, has begun planning the new residential area. The location is not a big problem; the area can be expanded directly on the site of the original residential area. There is no need to worry about manpower either, as the continuous influx of disaster victims to the land of evil is a ready-made solution. What Nana is currently having trouble with is what building materials to use.
After all, the building materials commonly used in the Land of Sin are not very suitable now. The weather is too hot and dry. The lake mud, which is easy to shape because it is moist, dries and hardens before it can be shaped. In addition, the previous harvest month was affected by drought, and there is a shortage of both wood and grass. It is obvious that the Flower Fairy wants to provide an independent house for every flower fairy family. Given the severe shortage of building materials in the Land of Sin, it is impossible to achieve this.
So Nana was racking her brains to find new building materials. During this time, her potion workshop was completed, so she decided to start researching deodorizing agents first, intending to eliminate the lingering stench that would permeate the fields of the dungeon after each fertilization.
As for their youngest daughter, Nunnally, who inherited her mother's lucky magical talent, she was called upon along with other underage flower fairies to help refine moss syrup.
Helping out, in reality, meant stirring the simmering moss syrup in the pot to prevent it from sticking to the bottom and burning. Once the dark green syrup thickened, the cooks would sprinkle two spoonfuls of magic powder into the pot, and the children would continue stirring until a sweet, fresh, and slightly cool aroma wafted out, at which point the syrup was ready.
Every time a large pot of syrup is boiled, the little flower fairies can carefully select a thick moss leaf from the neatly stacked bundles of moss nearby and give it to the equally large servant guarding the large sugar jar. Then, the flower castle servant on duty that day will take the moss leaf, dip it into the sugar jar to make sure that more than half of the moss leaf is covered with light green, translucent moss syrup, and then hand it back.
After receiving the moss leaves coated in syrup, you can carefully lick them little by little, or you can bite off most of the leaves and eat them heartily. No matter which way you eat them, they can make children happy all day long.
Nanali's pot is always the fastest to cook the syrup, so everyone likes to be in her group. If you get to be in her group, you can eat up to five syrup leaves a day!
As Nana flew out of the potion workshop with her newly developed potion, she saw a large group of children surrounding her youngest daughter from afar. Even from a distance, she could hear the little flower fairies chattering and laughing, having a wonderful time. The stench of the fertilizer she had scattered that morning had completely dissipated, and the air was filled with the sweet, cool scent of moss syrup. All the adults who passed by smiled when they saw the noisy children.
Looking at Nanali, who was proudly raising her little head, Nanaja also proudly raised her head, thinking that her decision to have all the city's citizens move to the land of sin was absolutely correct!
"Is this the deodorizer?" Shu Xin examined the glass bottle of cardamom that Nana had brought. The transparent bottle was empty inside and felt very light in her hand. She guessed, "Is it filled with gas?"
Nanaja nodded, then shook her head:
"It contains gas, but not an odor remover. This is refined liuhuaqing. Your Highness, this smelly liuhuaqing is not easy to deal with. If you eliminate the odor, the liuhuaqing will also be dissolved and will not be able to fertilize the land. Dissolving it in water is also not good, as it will directly turn into poison. So I added some magic powder and refined it. Now, when fertilizing, you just need to turn the bottled liuhuaqing upside down, bury it in the soil, and then pull out the stopper. The liuhuaqing will diffuse in the soil, and the smell will only dissipate in the soil, so the air will not smell bad."
Is "Liuhuaqing" a direct transliteration of hydrogen sulfide? Shu Xin paused for a moment, ignoring the pronunciation issue that the flower fairy had been misled by her, and indicated that this line of thinking was fine. Next, she would break down the specific processing steps of "Liuhuaqing" into magic array groups, and then create a new workshop to record them. Then, she could use the magic workshop to mass-produce "Liuhuaqing" gaseous fertilizer.
"By the way, have you been looking for suitable building materials lately?" Placing the bottle on the table, Shu Xin took out a long, narrow, deep red seed from her spatial stone. "Have you ever heard of Giant Dragon Bamboo?"
Nana's eyes lit up: "You mean using bamboo tubes to make houses?" Her gaze fell on the seeds in the flower fairy's hand. "Dragon bamboo? I've never heard of it, but it sounds like bamboo that can grow as big as a dragon?"
Shu Xin smiled and nodded, handing over the seed: "It's not really as big as a dragon, but it's more than enough for beggar fairies to live in."
Dragon Bamboo is a giant bamboo species. It is said that the blood of a red dragon was spilled into a bamboo forest, and ordinary bamboo absorbed the power of the dragon's blood to grow and mutate. Because it is deep red all over and the sharpness and hardness of its bamboo leaves are comparable to refined metal, it is also known as "Red Dragon Scales". Naturally, there is no such plant that is associated with the red dragon in the Garnar Plains. In fact, these seeds are one of the magical materials that Xi brought back from the Blaitzman Empire.
Xi had looted the wand workshop of the Imperial Magic Academy and brought back a lot of magical materials, but Shu Xin hadn't had time to sort them out. Recently, there wasn't anything urgent to deal with, and with the addition of the capable couple Nana and Qiqi Ke to the Sinful Land's leadership team, the division of labor within the leadership had been refined. Only then did Shu Xin have time to look through these magical materials. Of course, she didn't recognize any of them, but she was sure she recognized the Tree of Life!
So Shu Xin identified them one by one and found the seeds of the Giant Dragon Bamboo. The Tree of Life said that this kind of bamboo can grow up to 80 meters tall and up to 80 centimeters thick. She immediately realized that this was the perfect residence for the flower fairy - a super-large mansion made of pure nature!

Author's Note: It's 4:30 AM, the cat is still awake, and so am I. Quietly, here's a belated update.
Although it's only two thousand words, I was really struggling to write it, plus it was my period, I was bleeding and crying. [Slowly lay down] [Turn over] [Prostrate himself in apology]
Oh, I forgot to mention, there are giant dragon bamboos in real life, but I exaggerated a bit. The information I found says that the tallest one is nearly 30 meters and the thickest one is nearly 30 centimeters. But in the magical world, let's make it a bit longer!
