Surdak winked at Selena behind the old village head when he turned around and said hello quietly.
Selena held the sheepskin books in place with a delicate face and turned around. She didn’t avoid the old village head flying Suldak with a supercilious look and charming expression.
Old village chief Brett leaned over to Surdak and asked mysteriously, "Dudak, I know you must have some ideas. What can I do for you?"
Surdak put his hand on his forehead. He actually thought of a method to remove the toxicity of cassava, but he didn’t know whether this method would work. He said to the old village chief Brett, "There are some ideas that I still don’t know whether it will work …"
"It really needs your uncle Brett to come forward. I need some water tanks and wooden barrels to move to the village’s usual laundry pool."
"oh! By the way, please ask some village women to help. "
Village head Brett’s personality is also highly effective. When he heard Surdak say this, he immediately promised, "I’ll do it now."
Say that finish turned and walked towards the village.
"good! Uncle Brett "Surdak walked into the village with him.
Selena took advantage of the old village chief’s inattention and leaned in and asked Surdak, "What the hell are you doing?"
"You’ll see." Surdak smiled at Selena and said.
At this time, the young villagers who were responsible for bearing cassava shouted to Selena with no expression of eyes, "Selena, 1,557 pounds, please make a record quickly!"
Selena glanced at Surdak’s long-haired skirt and turned around and walked back bitterly.
Aphrodite looked at Selena with a curious face and turned away from her back with a faint smile on her face.
Surdak turned to the ogre behind him and ordered, "Coultham will help me get some cassava here …"
There are several boxes of ogres beside the cassava pile, and they will pack a wooden box with cassava on their shoulders and walk to the village. Surdak asked him foolishly, "Captain, what shall we eat for dinner?"
He simply doesn’t want to eat these cassava in the box.
Surdak saw that the yellow sheep were rushed back from Beigou grassland by two small children, so he smiled and said to the ogre, "I’ll let you try our Wal-Mart mutton soup tonight …"
"Oh, oh … mutton soup Gulitem likes to drink mutton soup." The ogre grinned at once when he heard that it was not eating these cassava that made his mouth numb.
Not far from the wooden workshop, there is a natural pool on the bank of the stream. Usually, women in the village wash clothes here. In summer, children in the village also bathe in this pool. There are also some stone slabs beside this pool. Even though the river has been cut off, it is still full of clear water.
Surdak asked Gulitem, the ogre, to put this big wooden box of cassava by the pool first.
Several women in the village were chatting while squatting in the pool to do laundry when they suddenly saw an ogre carrying a big wooden box coming from the village. They were so scared that they picked up the wooden basin and ran away while secretly looking back …
Samira and Aphrodite looked at the poor village curiously.
Surdak pointed to the most tourist in the village and said, "Let’s go and show you around!"
The village reservoir project has been resumed, and the rivers and streams have been completely cut off. A wagon is full of volcanic ash and travels along the village road towards the village. Surdak and members of the security team came to the village reservoir.
With the completion of the first-class reservoir surface and the completion of the sluice, the village wagons continue to pull volcanic ash and lime powder to the construction site. After the second-class reservoir is finished, it expands 10 meters around the first-class reservoir, which is obviously lower than the first-class reservoir by nearly two meters. More than 50 masons are leveling the ground with cement. The foundation of the second-class reservoir dam has been completed and will be repaired after the ground is ready.
At this time, Rita, Natasha and several women in the village are cooking dinner for the bricklayers on the construction site.
The dam of Surdak first-class reservoir pointed to the reservoir and swam a large area of land. It was introduced to Andrew, Samira, Aphrodite and Gulitim that "three more stepped reservoirs will be built here to increase the water storage capacity here. The city of Hailansa is affected by climate and monsoon, and it is dry and rainy in spring, but it is easy to form a waterlogging place in midsummer. We only built the reservoir here, and the water in the reservoir can irrigate the village and swim some wheat fields to cope with this dry season."
Samira, a half-elf archer, asked Surdak strangely, "Since there is plenty of rain here in summer, why is it so deserted here?"
Surdak hesitated for a moment before saying, "The geological feature of this barren land is that there are limestone formations with extremely high water permeability, and rainwater can easily penetrate into the land. Moreover, there is no fertile soil for plants to grow here, and the dry season just happens to bring everything to life. Many plants can’t live in this land. There are some spiny grass and thirsty grass that can live. Some valleys with water sources can show a little vitality. Apart from Woer Village, there are more than a dozen villages near here."
"Nothing here is better than Wozhmala except being located in the main plane of Roland mainland," Andrew muttered.
"But this is the most important thing," retorted Aphrodite Andrew.
The aboriginal warrior’s lips moved, and finally he didn’t think of any suitable words to fight back.
At this time, a young man panted heavily as he ran to the dam and shouted at Surdak, "Uncle Duckbright is ready over there …"
"I’ll go over …" Surdak waved at the young man.
Instead of taking the members of the security squad directly back to the village pool, he detoured to the village threshing floor next to the stone mill, and let the ogre Gulitem directly lift the stone mill base, and Andrew carried it to the ground before returning to the pool.
The villagers were surprised to see that the ogre put nearly a thousand pounds of heavy stone mill base by the pool and helped Andrew put the stone mill back in order.
The old village chief Brett has moved in a big water tank, and there are dozens of wooden barrels. These wooden barrels are almost full of stone platforms by the pool. A group of village women are pale with fear when they see the ogre, and their legs are weak. After being scolded by the old village chief Brett, their emotions are stable.
"Duck, what are we going to do?" Old village head Brett came to Surdak and asked.
"Uncle Brett, this process is not difficult. You just need to watch what we do …" Surdak said to the old village head.
With that, Surdak asked Andrew to put a stone mill on the cassava in the box, and Gulitim, the ogre, pushed the stone mill to crush these crisp radishes like cassava, and the milky cassava juice flowed into the wooden bucket along the stone trough, and soon it was filled with a wooden bucket. Then Surdak laid a piece of coarse linen on a water tank, then poured this bucket of white pulp into the water tank, and added two barrels of water to the water tank.
In this way, Gulitem and Andrew crushed a wooden box of cassava into white pulp, filtered it, and then mixed a lot of clear water and put it in a water tank for standing.
The old village chief took a group of women in the village to watch silently. Everyone couldn’t understand what Suldak was doing by squeezing these cassava juices.
Soon, the water in the first water tank became clear and transparent. Surdak asked Samira to scoop out the clear water in the water tank, leaving a thick layer of white pulp at the bottom of the tank in the straight water tank and refilling it with two barrels of water to stir the white pulp. Then, after waiting for the slurry in the water tank to become clear for three times, Surdak collected the white pulp as paste in a wooden bucket.
The old village head came up with a frown and looked at it. It took a whole wooden box of cassava to precipitate two barrels of white pulp. He asked Surdak, "Is this potions or alchemy? What is this thing called? "
Surdak rubbed his temples vigorously and introduced to the old village head Brett, "Now … we can call them’ water starch’. When they are dried, it will be starch, which not only removes the toxicity of cassava, but also tastes quite delicious. I also know how to cook this kind of food, where people call this kind of food’ stew’ …"
……
Chapter 499 Night in the mountain village
A setting sun is about to fall on the ridge and dusk is approaching.
After a busy day, the villagers rushed back to the village, and the kobolds and slaves also returned to the village shed. In front of the village shed, five large steaming drawers braved the hot steam to lift the top steaming drawer, which was impressively doped with a lot of cassava, a small amount of wheat bran and miscellaneous grains, and a bowl of salty vegetable soup. The taste made the kobolds digging in these riverbeds almost bite their tongues.
Obviously, kobolds and slaves probably haven’t eaten such delicious food for a long time.
The food in the reservoir site is obviously much better than that of the kobolds and slaves. scones and miscellaneous grains porridge with some pickled salted and dried vegetables are everywhere. In spring, most villagers outside the mountain pass can have the best food. Last year, Woer Village earned a sum of money. When the frozen soil was frozen, the masons came out of the villages and forcefully put the second phase of the reservoir project half a month ahead of schedule.
