The Phoenix Clan has always been very lively. The construction of the royal city is gradually coming to an end. All the houses have been built, and some decoration is still in progress.
Some orcs had no houses to live in, so they moved in first. For places like the palace, they had to paint and tile, and some delicate work like landscaping and fountains had to be done slowly.
Therefore, some manpower can be saved from construction and invested in production and planting.
While the orcs outside were still collecting flowers and plants, Hu Li had already led his men to retrieve vegetables and grains such as corn, wheat, sweet potatoes, radishes, and cabbage.
"Your Majesty, we have retrieved the things according to the drawings you gave us. Do you think these are them?" Hu Li and a group of men from the Ministry of Revenue walked into the palace carrying their loads.
Fengjiu hasn't moved into the palace yet, but the palace for work has been built. She works here every day and only returns to the cave at night or during rest time.
Fengjiu walked out of the desk, holding her big belly, picked up the wheat ear the size of her arm, weighed it, and nodded: "Yes, this is wheat. Like rice, it can be used as a staple food. It can be made into steamed buns and noodles.
Go collect more, dry it, and store it. Save the seeds and plant the wheat after the rice is harvested. "From now on, you don't have to worry about having no food to eat.
Fengjiu actually learned about these grains and vegetables from the merchants when she was drawing the map, and she also marked them on the map.
Hu Li led his men to follow the map and quickly collected the food.
There is also corn that is equally large, with dry kernels that are very hard: "Can this corn really be cooked? Even the bugs can't bite it, and it's very difficult to shell." Therefore, the corn grows the best and has the largest quantity.
If this could really be used as food, they could just lie down for a while.
"You'll know after trying it. Bring me the hand-cranked machine." The hand-cranked machine for corn threshing has simple steps and can be made quickly. Fengjiu had already asked Zhu Jian to prepare it.
"King, I'll do it. Just tell me to do it." How could they let the queen do everything? It would make them seem particularly useless.
Zhu Jian walked forward with a hand-cranked machine, clamped the corn cob with one hand, and shook it with his other hand, and the corn kernels fell into the basket.
Everyone was stunned. Even though they had seen many of the Queen's little inventions, they were still shocked again and again.
As for the corn cobs, they all have high holy power, right? But if you use too much force, the grains will turn directly into powder. If you use less force, even males like them with thick skin and flesh will get blisters on their hands.
Hu Li and the others tried it when they were on the scene, but it didn't work at all. But the queen had already prepared for it, she was worthy of being their king.
Zhu Jian quickly shook out half a basket of corn kernels without much effort, then put them into the peeling machine next to him for grinding. After the kernels were sifted out, he had someone take them away to make porridge.
That evening, the officials had a sumptuous dinner.
There are sticky corn porridge, steamed buns and noodles, roasted sweet potatoes, cabbage, and radish and bone soup.
However, everyone felt that the taste of the meats they were used to eating on a daily basis had become ordinary.
"Have you noticed that after having more food, your body becomes healthier? And your holy power increases more smoothly too."
Lao Wan felt it very clearly, so it shouldn’t be his illusion, right?
"Ah! Don't you know? Otherwise why would the king take the trouble to let us go out to collect food." Hu Li's surprised expression made Lao Wan look stunned.
How come he hasn't heard of this?
The Sixth Granny who was sitting next to Hu Li raised her hand and gave him a slap on the head: "Don't listen to his nonsense. The king didn't tell us that collecting food is simply for the purpose of storing it, right, king?"
Sixth Granny also had this vague feeling, but she was old and her holy power was increasing slowly, so she didn't say it out loud.
"Yes, but it's not difficult to understand. Rich food allows the body to achieve a balanced nutrition and provide all the necessary needs. Physical fitness will naturally improve, and at the same time, it will meet the needs of the advancement of Saint Power. It is normal for the improvement to be faster."
Fengjiu explained patiently, and Lao Wan realized that he had been deliberately fooled by Hu Li.
"You damn fox are deliberately misleading me. I'll deal with you when I have time!" He is a ninth-level saint. If he works harder, he will soon reach the tenth level, while Hu Li is only at the eighth level.
Ha! Lao Wan glanced at Hu Li with ill intent.
"Haha, come on, brother, I'm just kidding, because I'm about to level up again." But he hasn't leveled up yet, so he is definitely no match for Lao Wan.
"If you want me to forgive you, how about introducing your sister to me?" Lao Wan spoke fluently, but his face turned red inexplicably.
Hu Li's eyes widened, this time in disbelief: "Are you okay, brother? You're such a high-ranking official, why would you fall for that little girl? Don't you know who she is?"
After being rejected by the Wu family, she still pines for Wang Fu and refuses to marry anyone else. "Maybe one day the Phoenix King will break her neck."
Hu Mei is Hu Li's half-sister, and they have a bad relationship. Now Hu Li has almost severed ties with the Hu family.
I never thought that Lao Wan would fall in love with his sister. It's outrageous.
Lao Wan has never been in a relationship, is not very old, has high holy power, and is a high-ranking official of the Phoenix clan. He has a bright future. Once he is involved in the Hu family, there is a fear that he will not be smart enough and will be taken advantage of by others.
"Hey, didn't I accidentally save her life last time? Just ask her for me. It doesn't matter whether she agrees or not.
"Would Wang mind?" Lao Wan asked, not knowing that Hu Mei had thought of Wang Fulong Qinghan.
"I don't care. As long as you like each other, that's all that matters." Fengjiu originally wanted to say that marriage is a lifelong thing and should be considered carefully.
But orcs are different. They can marry many at the same time to reproduce offspring. For the sake of population development, Fengjiu will certainly not stop them.
Just don't mess with her.
"Look, the king has agreed. Don't worry, I will definitely keep her in check after we become a couple."
All I can say is that Hu Mei is lucky and her aesthetic taste meets Lao Wan's, so he wants to stick with it.
"Since you said so, I'll go back and ask." After all, Hu Mei was cultivated with a lot of resources. As long as she is willing to settle down and live a happy life, it may be a good thing for Lao Wan.
Having food, shelter, and of course a partner, perhaps this is what makes life complete.
The next day, the Phoenix Clan was collecting new food again. They organized a large number of orcs in the tribe to go out and collect food. They did not hide the food and even told some outsiders who came forward to ask about its uses and how to eat it.
So some tribes followed suit, especially the Seven Star Tribe. After tasting the sweetness, they kept an eye on the Phoenix Tribe all day long. Naturally, the harvest was plentiful, with enough food and drink and even food reserves. This kind of life was like a dream.
After collecting food for several days, the Phoenix orcs looked around the wilderness and found that it was barren even before winter. They stopped their efforts.
However, they were not idle. They started weaving and making shoes in the factory, and were busy with daily breeding, planting, construction, training, group exercises, etc. every day.
