There were only two people from the Yanshan tribe this time, and Ayan kept Ayu behind. A Zhang was worried that the other party would not be able to take care of him after walking so far by himself, so he arranged for a female son of Qi Zecheng to go back with him.

After Ayan thanked everyone, he carried some of the things he had collected and enough food and left. He didn't bring any paper, bamboo sieves, cloth or the like in Qize City. He brought the wooden bow instead. The arrows were made of iron armor of the Iron Armored Dragon. Because there were not many, he only made two, and the other arrows were still made of bone.

After the arrow was replaced with iron, the lethality was obviously much stronger than the original bone arrow, and the arrow targets could be easily shot through. It’s a pity that grinding iron tools is a laborious task. Even though it has been proved that iron tools can be obtained by melting the armor and recasting it, it consumes a lot of resources and manpower. For firewood alone, Ayan has gone to the edge of the forest to cut down these few days. Twice, this made a few arrows and a shovel and hoe.

In addition to A Ming and Ayan, who went back to the tribe to pass the news, A Zhang also asked A Xu and another female son to go to the Lion and Wolf tribe, and told the Lion and Wolf tribe all the information they knew now, and then asked the The lion and wolf tribe went to inform the other tribes.

There is no way, the number of people in Qi Ze City is too small, and there is no way to tell the people to go to each tribe to inform them, so this matter can only be handed over to the Lion and Wolf tribe.

After receiving the advice of the Giant Wolf God, A-Zhang also rejected the practice of letting people enter the forest to hunt again. The main meat of the people in Qize City can only come from the Chishui River, so they can no longer use Buddha as before. It was caught by fishing, but according to the method that Chen Qi taught the Luoshui tribe before, we weaved fishing nets and used nets to catch fish.

It's just that this time the orcs no longer only catch fish in a few fixed points, but change places to catch fish along the Chishui River within a distance that is enough to go back and forth for a day, so as not to scare all the fish away, and also Conducive to fish recuperation.

Hunting is still every other day, and the rest of the time is where the massive construction work begins.

Before Ah Zhang and the others came back from the forest, Chen Qi had already drawn a lot of renderings of the moat, because none of them were professionals, so Chen Qi could only roughly do the work of site selection and measurement.

In order not to affect the existing city wall, the moat is also some distance away from the city wall, and the dug out sand and sand are raised and compacted along the side of the city wall.

When Chen Qi was measuring the moat, Ali and a group of people cut open the sprouted potatoes one by one, leaving only one sprout on each piece, and then cut the remaining half of the land in Qize City. All are planted, and the remaining open space is planted with sweet potatoes.

Chen Qi asked Ali to make all the pieces of iron armor that he brought back this time, and he only got two hoes and three shovels. Although they are not as sharp as the claws of the females, there are still males for those who can no longer be beasts. For us, this iron tool is already comparable to the existence of a sword and horn knife, but unfortunately there are not many iron armors, and now we have to dig a moat, or Chen Qi really wants to make a few kitchen utensils.

The weather was hot at noon, and Chen Qi was not like the beasts who were exposed to the sun all day long. Even with a hat on, he was a little dizzy before noon, and Aze said nothing. He carried it home and was not allowed to go to the moat to help.

Chen Qi had no choice but to go to school to help Carlo make lunch for the orcs together after he was relieved.

Because the orcs in the entire Qi Ze City are busy building the moat, so now the lunch and evening meals are sent directly to the outside of the city. On other days, they would only work until midnight every day, so they had good eyesight, so they had to be replaced by Chen Qi. When it got dark, there was no oil lamp, and they couldn't see the surrounding things clearly with the weak moonlight.

Now, Carlo and A Jing are in charge of managing the food of the entire Qi Ze City, while the little wolf cub is in charge of watching the unusually lively A Yao and forbids him to move.

Ah Yao is at an active age now, and is curious about everything. If he is not careful, he will run away without a shadow. Carlo does not dare to let him out of his sight.

And the little wolf cub is not too old, just when he is impatient, when he sees A Yao running out or climbing to a high place, he will take him down without a word, and he will make a threatening voice from his throat to let him not. move.

At first, A Yao was a little afraid of the little wolf cub because of the threat of it. Later, when he found out that the other party would not hurt him at all, he did what to do. As a result, the little wolf cub learned to directly press the other party on the bed with his front paws. Don't move. In more than ten months, the little wolf cub has grown to the height of A Jing's waist. It is easy to suppress the three-headed little dumpling.

When Chen Qi came in, he saw Carlo frying fish balls. In such a hot weather, he could eat this kind of fried food.

Seeing Chen Qi come in with a cloth bag, Carlo knew that the other party must not be able to bear the big sun being driven back by his eldest brother, so he smiled and said, "You don't have to dig the moat yourself. , it won't take long for the sun to dazzle you."

Chen Qi choked, watching him happily blow a freshly fried and steaming fish meatball into his mouth, and then he was undoubtedly scalded, and he was reluctant to spit out the fish meatball. He could keep breathing and trying to blow it cold, and when he finally swallowed it, he found that the other party had fog in his eyes.

...... This way of eating is not afraid of getting angry.

Seeing that Chen Qi opened the cloth bag he was holding and took out a few bags from it, Carlo leaned over curiously, "What did you bring?"

"Barnyard tares, mung beans, and sugar." Chen Qi replied as he set out his things.

The barnyard tares that he and Aze went to pick before had almost dried up in two days under such a sun. He set aside half of the seeds to plant in a few plots specially set aside on the wasteland, and the remaining half couldn't help it. Get a stone mortar, and then shell the tares to get a small bag of rice grains.

When he was dizzy from the sun just now, he thought of making something to clear the heat and relieve the heat for the beasts who worked hard under the scorching sun. Seeing the barnyard rice, he found the remaining mung beans and A bag of candy came to find Carlo in the cooking class on this side of the school.

After all, there are not many materials, so Chen Qi can only divide it into two large pottery plates and add a little more water to make it thinner, so that everyone can eat a bowl.

First wash the mung beans, put them in a clay pot, add water and boil until soft, then wash the barnyard rice and put it in, boil it until it becomes slightly thick and add sugar.

For the only mung bean porridge that can be eaten this time, Chen Qi also took saltpeter and made a plate of ice, put the cooked mung bean porridge in the ice and kept it in the ice. I took out a large jar, washed it all, cut the marinated meat, and fry it on a large pottery plate.

Then I cooked two more plates of fish fillet porridge with rice berries. After seeing that the time was almost up, I sent Ajing to call the beastmen back for dinner. After all, the ice was too easy to melt, so I carried this pile of things to the outside of the city, what? The ice mung bean porridge is gone.

Hearing that Chen Qi actually called them to go back for dinner today, A-Zhang was puzzled for a while, but he stopped and called everyone to clean up before going back.

Chen Qi had already prepared two large wooden buckets outside the door, filled with the well water that A Jing had just pumped up, and told the orcs to wash their hands before coming in.

Because of the large number of people, the meals were divided into two places: the classroom and the sewing classroom.

A Ze came over to help bring out the cooked side dishes together, and Chen Qi then gave them a bowl of mung bean porridge, no more or no less, just one bowl per person.

The orcs ate the fried meat patties and fried fish **** cooked by Carlo for two days in a row, and suddenly holding this cold mung bean porridge, they couldn't react for a while. The people in Qi Ze City had never eaten frozen in the summer. But the Luoshui tribe used to eat it every day, and now seeing this cold mung bean porridge, my eyes lit up. I couldn't wait to take a sip. From the outside to the inside, I felt that the heat of the morning had been dispelled by half.

Ale was the first to shout, "Chen Qi, you will cook the rice in the future. I will take care of your job of digging the moat."

Ashu, who was sitting next to him, also quickly nodded in agreement.

Chen Qi said with a smile: "The tares and mung beans in this mung bean porridge are all used up, and this is the only meal. You don't have any more to eat."

...... After listening to Chen Qi's words, everyone's eating action suddenly slowed down, and no one was willing to eat this cold food immediately.

Holding his own bowl of mung bean porridge, Carlo looked at the piles of golden-yellow fish **** on the table, and silently stretched out his chopsticks to the plates of sauerkraut and fried pork made by Chen Qi. This sweet and cold mung bean porridge doesn't feel so uncomfortable in the surrounding heat.

With the mung bean porridge appetizer, the fish porridge in the back was also swept away by the orcs. Even those fried fish **** made by Carlo were impossible to be left in front of the orcs who were exhausted by heavy labor.

Seeing that everyone was almost done eating, Chen Qi went to the cooking class to get a few honeydew melons and cut them out. The honeydew melons had never been iced, but they had been soaked for a long time in the well water that had just been beaten, even in such a hot weather. In the hot weather, the well water that has just been hit is also cold, although the effect is not as good as real ice, but it is also much better than soaking it in unused well water and eating it directly.

"I never thought that well water could be used in this way." After taking a bite of the honeydew melon, Ali couldn't help but sigh.

Chen Qi put the honeydew melon cut into small pieces and handed it to A Ze in a pottery plate, and cut a bamboo skewer for him meticulously, so that he didn't have to nibble directly with a large piece like others did. .

"If you want to eat fruit in the future, you can soak it like this first." Chen Qi replied while admiring Aze's elegant way of eating.

Today's lunch can be said to be the most comfortable meal that people in Qi Zecheng have eaten since the beginning of summer. Even if there is no whole meat that the females love most, everyone ate it happily and went back to work after a little rest. .

After all, porridge is easy to digest. Not long after noon, Chen Qi made a lot of pancakes and sent them to them. The pancakes were filled with meat filling, and they were all eaten up in a short time.

As a result, a moat was dug, and even with the hard work every day, the females felt that the companions beside them seemed to be stronger than before.
