Similar to the Earth, most of Chenghuang Star's surface is covered by a vast saltwater sea. There are several land masses floating in the saltwater sea, and the two continents on the east and west are the largest of them. Among the two continents, the latitude and brightness of the east continent
It is lower than the Western Continent. If we use the concept of the earth as a metaphor, the Eastern Continent as a whole has a subtropical and temperate climate, while the Western Continent is more temperate and frigid, right?
In the Eastern Continent with lower latitudes, Liyang Territory is also located in a very southern region, so its climate has a tendency to cross the subtropical zone and move closer to the tropics. This feeling is particularly obvious whenever the climate enters summer. Currently, it is only
It's early summer, but the temperature has risen significantly in the morning and evening, and it's estimated to have exceeded 35 degrees by noon.
If you were on Earth, you could still use electric fans and air conditioners to combat the heat, but in Chenghuang, which didn't even have a steam engine, the most Gu Chen could do was to open the windows and use air convection to suppress the room temperature while sleeping.
Fortunately, the business building itself is a rare stone building in Liyang City. The disadvantage of using stone to build a house is its high cost. The advantage is that in addition to being strong and durable, it can also insulate the steaming heat of the hot summer to a considerable extent, giving the occupants a sense of comfort.
The coolness on the bed. Combining the above two measures, Gu Chen was able to overcome the generation gap in civilization and barely managed to maintain a peaceful sleep.
"call……"
The early morning sunlight penetrated through the cracks in the window, leaving mottled light on the walls of the bedroom. Gu Chen woke up with a yawn on the bed.
Gu Chen looked around half-consciously. The potted broad-leaf plants on the windowsill and the hand-knitted blankets in the Nanman ethnic style hanging on the walls were all recently added decorations. Although their existence did not change the basics of the bedroom.
attribute, but it does make the environment atmosphere a lot more lively. Even Gu Chen, who is used to staying up late and dozing off in the study, has re-realized the benefits of sleeping on the bed.
Sitting on the bed for a moment, Gu Chen looked at the low table beside the bed, picked up the iron pot and poured himself a glass of cold water. The cold water mixed with mint nectar flowed into his stomach, and its dense spiritual essence spread along the Qi pulse.
Quickly driving away the remaining sleepiness in his body, Gu Chen immediately yawned and rolled out of bed.
This pot of mint water was also added not long ago.
Specifically, it started after Secretary Wu Zhen joined Gewufang as an assistant officer. The female secretary had extraordinary skills in handling affairs and personnel negotiations. She not only quickly sorted out the affairs related to Gewufang, but also
The maid Ani and the cooking officer Guru were recruited to enrich the housekeeping configuration of the business house.
Thanks to her, this business building, which had barely maintained the minimum habitability so far, began to be associated with words such as comfort and elegance. Subtle changes such as the potted plants in the bedroom and the mint water beside the bed were
one.
It should be said that Gu Chen himself is not very particular about the living environment. In extreme cases, he can make do with even a warehouse loft. But this does not mean that he does not like a comfortable environment. Rather, it is because of the experience
After experiencing the frustration of being in the company of small rodents in a dark attic, Gu Chen felt more deeply the changes brought about by the female secretary.
"Well, it feels like a shared house has turned into a star hotel..."
Gu Chen, who was muttering to himself, put on his casual clothes and walked out of the bedroom to the corridor connected to the stairs.
The corridor is also made of stone, but in order to reduce the cold texture of the stone, wooden decorative ceilings are specially made on the ceiling. In addition, there are several Nanban plants half a person tall in the corridor, giving people the feeling of a southern resort hotel.
It feels like there are several windows set up in the corridor to increase lighting. However, Chenghuang Zhubang has not yet opened up the technology of glass production, so all the windows are separated by wooden strips and paper.
The window was open at the moment, and the morning breeze mixed with the weak heat flowed in through the window.
The temperature was not high in the morning, and the wind made Gu Chen feel quite comfortable. Gu Chen walked to the corridor window, leaned on the window sill and looked out. The window faced the atrium of the business building, but because the business building itself was located on the mountainside, so
The field of view is quite wide. If you look out, you can see the west gate of Liyang and the pack transport station adjacent to the west gate.
The pack station is a place for the pack teams to stop for loading and unloading. However, after the summer, wild monsters will become particularly active, and the risk factor of the pack truck traffic will increase accordingly. Therefore, most pack teams choose to temporarily close the business, while the pack stations
The place then became quieter.
(I wonder if Cui Wu and the others have left?)
Gu Chen suddenly thought of Ri Shengchang's pack team. Beastmaster Cui Wu's pack team was drafted by the leader to deliver supplies to Li Gong Chaoxu a while ago. At that time, the season was about to enter the threshold of summer. If they had not returned to Liyang City
If we set off right away, we will definitely miss the departure time of the pack transport.
If a large group of people and beasts of burden had been eating and drinking in the shop all summer, Gu Chen could already imagine someone who was both an iron rooster and a short winter melon, rolling around on the floor with his abacus in his mouth in regret. At this moment, Gu Chen was disappointed with the rising sun.
He had neither hatred nor feelings at the time, but the picture that came to his mind still made him happy.
Gu Chen squinted his eyes and looked at the camp, but due to the distance between the store and the camp, Gu Chen couldn't see what was going on over at Rishengchang no matter how good his eyesight was. Instead, the scene somewhere in the atrium attracted his attention.
"Huh? That's it?"
A huge brown wild boar lay lying in the open space of the atrium. The wild boar rolled its eyes and half of its tongue was hanging out of its mouth, while the little human tribe's cook squatted next to the wild boar, reaching out and gesturing as if thinking where to start.
"I see, Chinese food is stewed pork..."
Gu Chen smiled bitterly and nodded. Although he didn't know where the wild boar came from, it seemed that Gewufang would be able to eat rich meat for several days in the future. For those who had no employee canteen before, most of their meals depended on takeaways.
For everyone in Gewufang, the addition of Cooking Officer Guru has fundamentally improved the food treatment in the workplace.
Guru, who once served as Liyang's official cooking officer, is definitely at the level of a famous chef in terms of craftsmanship, and he has extraordinary skills in the preparation of ingredients. No matter what kind of game ingredients are used, he can make full use of them, if you don't care about the dishes.
The inexplicable materials that appear from time to time are really impeccable logistics talents.
At least these days, Gu Chen has completely given up the idea of ordering takeout to extend his life.
"Ah, young master?"
There was a slight exclamation from behind. Gu Chen turned his head and looked, only to see the maid Ani walking upstairs with a bucket.
Ani holds a wooden spoon for watering in her left hand. In addition to cleaning the house, plant maintenance is also included in the maid's duties. She is obviously a girl who is almost a high school student, but she has to be busy from morning to night.
, this made Gu Chen feel quite sorry, but he himself seemed to be working very energetically.
Ani is hard-working and polite, and is quite trustworthy as a maid. If there is any shortcoming, it would probably be that she is easily nervous when seeing Gu Chen, right?
