Chapter 75 New functions of the gourmet table
Entering the Frost Moon, the weather is getting colder and colder.
Especially in this bitter cold place.
Every morning, the water vapor in the air condenses directly on the ground or plants to form fine ice needles, or hexagonal frost flowers, which are white in color and loose in structure.
With no anger on his face, William came to the city wall in a leather jacket sewn together with several animal skins.
The city wall is finished.
The three-meter-high city wall is filled with compacted soil in the middle, only two meters high, and covered with bricks, forming a one-meter-wide city road.
The wall door has been successfully installed under the hard work of several carpenters and apprentices.
The two city gates are thick and covered with a layer of iron.
For this layer of iron, Nisai Village consumed all the iron ore in the village.
Because of the construction of the city wall, the demand for bricks has also dropped, and there are no need for so many wild slaves to do this job.
But that doesn't mean they're idle.
The labor during this period has improved their obedience, and under the screening of the magic mirror, William has selected 250 strong wild slaves from them.
Adding the fifty servants selected first, there are three hundred people in total.
Each of these three hundred wild slaves was equipped with a wooden spear. Under the leadership of the official guards, they underwent low-to-medium-intensity physical training and stabbing training every day.
Although this move is to sharpen the gun before the battle, it is better than nothing!
At that time, William intends to arrange them on the city road as a protection on the city road.
With three hundred servants holding wooden spears, sixty official guards holding wooden shields and iron spears, and six knight-level guard captains, the strength in William's hands suddenly expanded to three hundred and six. With sixteen people, it is much more convenient to do things.
The first thing William did was to establish a patrol system.
Because there were few troops and many things in the past, William always let his guards focus on certain key positions, and other positions could only be temporarily ignored.
It's okay during the day, but at night, the defense of the entire Nisai village is really full of loopholes!
Unlike a castle, the terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and ordinary people can't touch it at all.
The small village of Nisai is located on flat land, so there is no danger to defend it!
If it wasn't for William's magic mirror to check and fill in the gaps, maybe William would have been killed by the killer sent by the Scarlet Hand long ago!
Therefore, after a little more troops at hand, William immediately set about establishing a patrol system.
The vigil at the two gates was increased.
On the city roads of the four walls, bonfires are lit every night for lighting, and a few guards and servants are sent to watch at intervals to monitor the dangers coming from various places in the dark.
In addition, there are two night patrol teams, starting from two directions, following a fixed route, patrolling around the entire town, patrolling every once in a while.
What William didn't expect was that after so many protections, he didn't feel much, but the villagers and wild slaves, seeing the valiant guards and what they did every day, their inner sense of security increased. Quite a few of them showed long-lost smiles on their faces, which became gloomy and worried as the weather got colder and colder.
If it is a game now, then William will definitely be able to see on the property bar that the index of people living and working in his territory has increased a lot.
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ………
The remaining wild slaves and some of the original villagers of Nisai Village were not idle. They were basically sent to open-pit coal mines to mine coal ore.
People here call coal ore black stone.
With such a new force joining,
The mining volume of black stones suddenly increased a lot.
Every day, more black stones are transported to the adobe yard, made into slime, and then turned into briquettes.
Then at this time, a new problem came.
The weather is getting colder and colder. Even if there is sunshine during the day, the sunlight seems to be cold.
The briquettes placed outside to dry, not only did not dry, but became more damp.
The damp briquettes cannot be ignited at all.
William, who had this incident, had a big head.
If there is no guarantee of heating in winter, not to mention the huts where wild slaves live, but the leaky thatched huts where villagers live, a lot of people will die.
William had to rack his brains to start thinking about this problem.
In fact, drying with fire is a good and simple method, but for William, the cost is a bit high.
With so much firewood, why did William bother to develop briquettes?
William thought about it for a long time, and finally one night, when he was using a gourmet table to make dinner, he suddenly came to his senses.
Since the gourmet table can select the ingredients in the nearby area to make and use, can William specify the object for the gourmet table and the category to be obtained?
Seems like it's been done this way before?
Seems to give it a try!
William suddenly had the idea of experimenting.
The magic power of the gourmet table that day was exhausted by William, so William had to wait for the magic power of the gourmet table to recover the next day, and then started his own experiments without stopping.
After chanting the mantra, William's mind was full of the damp briquettes placed in the open air in the village, and all he thought about was extracting water from these briquettes.
These thoughts just turned around in William's mind, and a clay pot filled with purified water appeared out of nowhere on the gourmet table.
William rushed out the door to see that the damp briquettes had become extremely dry one by one.
William took a few and burned them in the red clay stove.
These briquettes were quickly ignited, and orange-red flames burst out, releasing warm heat.
William couldn't help laughing, not only because the briquette matter was resolved, but also because William discovered the further use value of the gourmet table.
Using him to cook food is simply too reckless.
This is simply a separator!
Still automatic!
The only problem is that it often encounters the problem of insufficient power.
But harmless.
William's mind suddenly came up with whimsical ideas one after another...
After solving the drying problem of honeycomb coal, there is no obstacle in the production of honeycomb coal.
Large quantities of briquettes are produced.
Even though a lot of briquettes are sold every day, there are still more and more briquettes.
William sorted out the houses of several villagers who had left the small village of Nise, and used them as warehouses for briquettes.
The briquette warehouse is being filled at a speed visible to the naked eye!
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ...
Most of the hard work was contracted out by wild slaves, but that didn't mean that the villagers in the original Nisai village could enjoy life in peace.
In fact, they still have to work!
After all, work can make people happy!
It's just that the nature of the work is different from the one who sold his physical strength back then.
