Chapter 37 Big beads and small beads falling on the jade plate
Lu Yu frowned and thought.
Sure enough, the development progress of the cube people in District 7 and District 1 is not at the same level. People in District 1 are starting to think about conquering hell, but they in District 7 are still worrying about food and accommodation.
Once the big hat comes down, they have to agree even if they don't agree.
As of yesterday, there were only 50 groups of grain stored in their village, and Lu Yu promised him to provide 50 groups of grain, but it had only been a few days since his promise, and even Lu Yu couldn't do it.
The village chief was so anxious that his white hair almost fell out.
At this moment, "Is it okay to hand over other things instead of wheat?"
Chu Xian replied on behalf of Qi Fang: "Of course, as long as it's food."
"Then can we hand over potatoes?"
Qi Fang sneered and asked, "Are you the only one who still grows potatoes?"
Yesterday he passed by the village and took a closer look. Although the appearance of their fields had changed and looked strange, the things they planted had not changed at all. They were all wheat.
The villagers in Xueshan Village in District 7 are already poor and shabby and have no technology for other crops. Isn't he asking nonsense now?
"Did you buy it from takeaway? Or did you pick it up in the wild?"
Lu Yu did not answer, but continued to ask: "Answer my question first."
Qi Fang didn't bother to answer, thinking it was a waste of time, so he waved his hand and asked Chu Xian to deal with this fool.
"sure."
"How much wheat is one potato equivalent to?"
Chu Xian frowned: "A potato is equivalent to a stick of wheat."
Lu Yu continued to ask: "What about the carrots?"
Chu Xian thought about it: "One carrot, two wheat."
"What about eggs? Where about chicken?"
Qi Fang listened to their conversation and became more and more strange.
"You idiot, why are you asking so many questions? Give me back eggs? How many times have you seen chickens?" Qi Fang's tone was full of contempt.
He thought the people in District 7 were short-sighted, but his thinking was too extreme.
Raising chickens? That's something only available in areas above the sixth district. How can people in the seventh district have it?
Chu Xian paused for a moment and finally answered: "It's equivalent to three stalks of wheat."
Lu Yu asked again: "What about the fish?"
"fish?!"
How could they, the country bumpkins from District 7, openly negotiate terms with something that he had never eaten even a few times?
"..." Chu Xian answered honestly: "One fish, five stalks of wheat."
"Okay, I know."
After Lu Yu finished his Q&A, the village chief's expression suddenly relaxed.
Lu Yu is so smart that he actually came up with such a method of exchanging things for things.
If they only handed over wheat, they would probably not be able to collect two hundred groups of wheat no matter what, and it would be impossible to exhaust their fields to death.
But they can hand over other things, so it's not completely hopeless.
They can pick up eggs and go fishing while waiting for the wheat to mature!
Now everyone in their village has learned how to fish, and everyone will always catch a certain amount when fishing together.
Besides, one fish is worth five sticks of wheat!
"By the way, how many days did we have to pay the food in previous years?"
Qi Fang wanted to embarrass their village and said, "Three days."
“Isn’t it just one week in previous years?!”
the villagers asked.
"Change it, change it! Hurry!"
Qi Fang shouted: "We are going to attack hell, how can we delay it!"
The villagers had anger in their stomachs, but they could not vent it and could only swallow it back.
"It's okay, three days is enough." Lu Yu said.
The village chief pressed Lu Yu's arm and confirmed, "Is it really enough?"
Lu Yu smiled obediently: "That's enough."
The village chief nodded repeatedly, choosing to believe Lu Yu.
"Why don't you all go home and get busy? Hurry up and go back fishing!"
"Fishing, fishing?!" Qi Fang almost slipped off the wooden pillar he was sitting on, and then he looked at the villagers who were leaving in surprise.
They don't seem to say it casually, but seriously...
Is it possible that they really know how to fish?
There is no water source in their village? And where did they get the spider silk in District 7?
"Follow them!"
Qi Fang commanded, and they immediately chased after him.
They watched the villagers return to their homes and took out their fishing rods towards the small pond in the yard.
"They have fishing rods?!"
Then they watched the villagers pull fish out of the small pond.
Chu Xian regretted what he said a little bit.
If fishing was so easy for them, they would indeed save a lot of effort.
Hey, maybe Qi Fang should be angry with himself again.
"Damn it!"
But calm down and observe, it is not that easy for them to fish. Sometimes a fish takes the bait in ten minutes, and sometimes it takes a long time.
"Let them trade fish for it."
After saying that, Qi Fang licked his mouth.
In fact, their seventh district does not need to submit 200 groups at all. Although the number of grain harvests has indeed increased, it is only 180 groups.
When they come to collect rent, it is common for some of them to increase the amount with some evil intentions and end up pocketing it themselves and then selling it.
Lu Yu did not rush to his farmland, but came to his monster spawner.
Lu Yu dug down sixteen squares, a position just right where Xiaobai could be thrown to death. Then, he used water to wash away Xiaobai and fall down.
And Lu Yu himself was standing below, waiting to harvest the experience, bones, and bow and arrows dropped by Xiaobai who fell to death.
A suggestion was made to create a monster spawner. Lu Yu didn’t have time to make a complicated red stone mechanism now, so he designed it like this.
It only took Lu Yu less than an hour to complete all of this, and the most wasteful part was digging out rocks.
Then he started fishing next to the monster spawner while waiting for Xiaobai and Bones to fall to death.
Lu Yu's fishing speed was astonishing. By the evening, he had harvested a group of herrings, nineteen salmon, and several pufferfish.
There are also several tools with general enchantment effects.
Seeing that his backpack was full, Lu Yu started walking home.
"Lu Yu, where have you been these days? I can't find you."
Lu Yu scratched his head in embarrassment.
Lin Xiaomeng dragged Lu Yu to explain the situation: "We are all busy fishing? Lu Yu, you are the fastest fisher. Come and help."
Lu Yu patted her shoulder and told her: "Don't worry, it'll be okay, just wait for me and it will be fine."
"How can we not be anxious? Now everyone is trying their best. One person in the family is left to fish, while the rest of the family goes to look for eggs outside the village. The farmland needs to be guarded..."
Lin Xiaomeng himself was impatient, and he began to think incessantly when he was anxious.
Lu Yu ignored it and went straight to his room.
"Lu Yu, where are you going?"
"Um?"
Lu Yu pointed to the door of his room and said, "Go back to the room."?
