Chapter 72
==================
In the following half month, the town basically completed the mission hall and was in the final stage of completion.
When the construction was halfway done, work began on the town's eastern and northern walls.
The frog farm has been built. Lana and his men brought half of the big frogs out of the cave to try it out for a while. If they can breed them stably, they will introduce all of them in.
The small silver fish in the river are called "blind fish". They taste surprisingly sweet and delicious, probably because the water quality is so good.
A resident who was interested in this area was sent to manage the river.
The wheat in the fields seems to be soaked in golden paint, and the heavy ears of wheat hang down to the ground, which is pleasing to the eye.
According to Mary, the harvest will be ready in a few days.
After this first batch of wheat is harvested, the town will have a staple food crop with high yield and short harvest period. In addition to the meat supply from frog farming and blind fish, as well as some vegetable seeds with short harvest period brought from Kuoge City, the town will no longer have to worry about food and clothing.
Lina's guardian birds moved their position from the bottom of the water under the cave to the warehouse in the town. Except for specific people, they would not let anyone approach the warehouse.
As for their potential, all we know so far is that they can go into the water to catch fish.
And the things they were guarding were brought up from the bottom of the water the day after Lina subdued them.
It was a box, and the touch of its exterior was similar to the stone shell of a snake or turtle, so it was waterproof.
After opening it, Lian Yun happily sent someone to take it to Meili, asking her to cultivate it first and instructing her to plant it on a large scale in the future.
——That's a box of potatoes.
Everyone was very happy after the "treasure" was "certified" by Lian Yun.
They thought it might be some rare treasure, but after seeing the backup force of their lord, they suddenly felt that even a box of priceless jewels would be boring.
What they need now is something that can bring long-term benefits and is very practical.
Lina has been communicating with the monsters captured nearby these days to try out her "new skills".
But whether it was because the nearby monsters were not intelligent or for some other reason, Lina kept hitting a wall and ended up staying in the small town in frustration, cultivating relationships with several newly born camels.
Abe had accumulated enough points to take over the management of the tavern. With Gerry's approval, he made his dishes very affordable. He also accepted Lian Yun's suggestion and offered half-price meals on Saturdays and Sundays, which increased customer traffic significantly.
However, the town has a limited population, and Lian Yun cannot just focus on making money for his family.
She had further plans in doing this.
As the town becomes more prosperous, urgent needs also arise - the lack of manpower is a real pain.
Lian Yun, Lanna and Gerry had discussed this together. The town was in a panic because of the incident with Kelme, so they did not dare to hastily introduce new residents.
But now the five-man team has become experienced after a long period of monster-fighting training; the town's walls are gradually taking shape, protecting the town's safety in all directions without blind spots.
Pesce wrote a few days ago saying that when Bubu Town sent people to transport supplies, the existence of the town had slowly spread in Kuoge City.
Because there are not many cities near Kuoge City, the residents of the city are particularly interested in the sudden appearance of "Bubu Town".
And when they heard that Bubu Town was under the protection of the Sun and Moon Cult, they became even more curious.
Many people have gone to the mission hall to inquire about the news of Bubu Town. They were a little disappointed to learn that Bubu Town is not welcoming outsiders now.
This gave Lian Yun some inspiration.
On the one hand, the town is currently short of staff, and there is a trend of outward expansion in the future, which will require even more residents.
Since the people of Quoge City are interested in this place and the town can now remain self-sufficient, why not recruit a group of people to move here?
They did what they said. Lian Yun and Gary agreed to let Xiaohong deliver the letter to Pei Si.
After receiving the letter, Pesce immediately had someone post a notice in the mission hall, stating that Bubu Town would begin recruiting outsiders to live in the town.
Gerry naturally raised the difficulties of implementing the recruitment order: "They already have homes and jobs, why would they move? How many people are willing to leave their homes?"
Even when his village was threatened like that, he still hesitated for a long time before making the decision to leave.
Now that Kuoge City no longer has the previous crises and hidden dangers, will anyone still want to leave?
Lian Yun had also thought about this: "So our target audience isn't those who have settled down and have a job, but people like Fang Suo who have a skill but no place to live. We provide them with safer housing and more generous mission rewards, which will definitely attract some people."
Gerry nodded in agreement, but he still felt uneasy. "There will definitely be people, but we'll have to do some careful screening. Not to mention that Kelme grew up by my side and could be exploited, so someone from Kuoge City would be even harder to predict."
After the letter was delivered, the town immediately began to build the hotel.
The old site of the hotel in Bubu Town is not very big, but considering that there won’t be too many people coming in the early stage, we don’t plan to expand it for now, and just renovate it will be enough.
This saves building materials and is quick.
However, the interior decoration cannot be too bad. The hard decoration is limited by the raw materials, but the soft decoration still has strength.
This is another process.
There are special people responsible for wooden furniture, while iron can be handed over to the town’s new blacksmith, Fiona.
Every day when Lian Yun goes out, he can see Fiona working enthusiastically in front of the blacksmith shop.
She tied her red hair up high, transforming herself from a gentle and dangerous succubus lady into a passionate and unrestrained blacksmith shop owner.
A smile from the heart appeared on her face again, and the environment around her was immersed in harmony, and everyone liked to take care of her business.
Perhaps driven by true talent, her skills improved rapidly with Bart's help and guidance, and she received more support from everyone.
However, Fiona holds the usual attitude towards life of small town residents: not for money, but for happiness.
By strengthening exchanges with Kuoge City, not only the population problem was solved, but also internal and external trade was promoted.
Lian Yun has begun delivering small amounts of meat to Kuoge City. When the people of Kuoge City first heard the news, they responded with disgust and aversion.
They had indeed not eaten meat for many years and had long forgotten what meat tasted like. When they heard the other party say without any concealment that it was monster meat, they felt even more disgusted.
However, what Lian Yun sent was a semi-finished product processed and seasoned by Aibei.
It was immediately grilled in the center, and then a few of the Persian people tried it first. Everyone was gradually attracted by the tempting aroma of meat lingering in the street.
Seeing that the people who were trying the food were fine, they also started to try it.
You don’t know until you try. Once you try, you will break their inherent thinking.
"So...meat is so delicious?"
The end result is that supply exceeds demand.
In his reply, Pesce mentioned the huge demand for goods needed in the initial stage of the launch. If the frog farm is stable, this demand will not be a problem at all.
Lian Yun got up early that day, because today was not only the day Xiaohong would come back with the bill of lading and letters, but also the day when the cooperating caravan would come back with goods for the first time.
Lian Yun finished packing and went downstairs. Lana was trying on Fiona's freshly made armor, which was made by grinding the stone shells of snakes and turtles into powder and then melting it into iron.
The stone shell is grayish white, and when added to armor it can actually emit tiny, tiny lights.
"You seem to be glowing." Lian Yun said with a smile.
Lanna looked up at Lian Yun standing on the stairs, his indifferent expression softening in an instant: "Sir."
He quickly took off the armor and reported on his experience trying it on: "It's very strong, and its defensive properties are much better than those of iron armor alone."
"By the way," Lanner picked up something from the table, "This is from June and Danny."
"The two of them?"
One child is fire and the other is ice.
Lian Yun walked forward and was startled by what he saw in his hand.
Lanner quickly put the brown shark skin away and said apologetically, "They recently followed Joel out to fight monsters and unexpectedly discovered that the shark skin is very easy to peel off after being frozen by Joel and then heated by Danny."
He pulled at the fish skin and continued to explain, "It's very elastic, and it can't be burned through by fire or cracked by ice. That's why the two of them brought it here to ask if you have any good ideas."
So that's how it is.
Lian Yun shook his head: "Show it to me."
Lanna was stunned for a moment: "You are not afraid..."
"I can't be afraid all the time." Lian Yun spread his hands helplessly, "I can't let it occupy my thoughts forever and become my eternal fear."
She couldn't stay in town forever.
The best way to overcome fear is, of course, to face it!
Lana said nothing more and handed the shark skin to her.
The surface was rough and uneven, and the touch made her feel a little uncomfortable, but she quickly suppressed it.
As Lanna said, the skin is very thick and seems to be invulnerable.
Lanner said, “It would be great to make it into soft gear.”
Wrist guards, hats, boots and the like can protect small parts of the body in addition to clothing.
Lian Yun nodded: "The cloth used for tables and chairs is also very durable."
While the two were still figuring out how to make more use of it, Lina rushed into the house with the letter.
"elder sister!"
Lian Yun turned around and saw Lina holding the letter in her hand, looking at him with tears in her eyes.
Lina's voice trembled a little: "Sister! Uncle Garlin and the others are in Quoge City!"
