Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 115 Summer is Coming
In fact, bamboo shoots are available all year round, but spring and winter bamboo shoots are the most delicious. They have high nutritional value and can also supplement various dietary fibers for the human body. This is a real good thing.

It's a pity that after leaving the place of production, it is generally difficult to eat fresh bamboo shoots in other places, and at most they are dried bamboo shoots that have been made.

Of course, Zhou Xu's joy at this time was not because of his appetite.

To be honest, although bamboo shoots are a local specialty of his hometown, Zhou Xu himself doesn't particularly like to eat them, let alone dried ones, even fresh spring bamboo shoots that are tender and crunchy.

The reason, to put it bluntly, is that outsiders can't eat it, and locals get tired of eating it.

Leaving aside the product of bamboo shoots, the value of bamboo itself is also very high. It can be used as medicine, and can also be used to weave baskets and make various handicrafts. It was one of the main raw materials for his grandmother's handicrafts.

In addition, if this bamboo forest had appeared before his eyes earlier, the problem of filling the water would have been solved more easily.

After all, bamboo tubes are natural containers.

Few plants can grow as neatly as bamboo without any sanding.

But even if these things are not mentioned, bamboo still plays a very important role for Zhou Xu at this time!
That is used to make bamboo bows!
When he was a child, besides playing "Dragon Sword", he occasionally played a cameo as a ranger with a bow.

Bamboo itself is very tough, and it is not difficult to make bamboo bows with it, and the cost is also very low.

When I was a child, my ideas were relatively simple, and my making was very simple and rough. It was still a toy in essence, and there was no lethality...

Hmm. Lethality is a big problem...

Now that I have grown up, my thinking is clearer, and I can completely upgrade it on that basis, so as to comprehensively improve the performance of the bamboo bow.

Just doing what he said, Zhou Xu called Zhou Zhongshan and others directly, and started wandering around in the bamboo forest to cut bamboo and dig bamboo shoots.

During the period, he even sent a person back to ask him to bring more people to help.

At this point in time, Zhou Xu didn't care too much about how many bamboo shoots he dug. After all, there was no shortage of food in the barren mountain camp.

However, the demand for bamboo is undoubtedly rising all at once, and the key point is to call people to come over and chop more bamboo.

The research and development of bamboo bows requires the consumption of bamboo. After the research and development is successful, it is even more necessary to manufacture bamboo in large quantities.

Right now, according to the plan in his mind, basically just cut as many bamboos as there are, and when the transport team arrives, they will start transporting them to the Black Moon Camp in batches.

That's right, he didn't plan to conduct research and development at the barren mountain camp.

There is Zhuang Mengdie at the Black Moon Camp, and if he wants to develop and make things, those skillful hands are useless.

Instead of letting him immerse himself in tossing, it is better to bring Zhuang Mengdie, and it will definitely get twice the result with half the effort.

In this way, during this period, except for the plowing of new fields that directly affect the grain output of the barren mountain camp, and the large-scale transfer and planting of crops, other tasks can be released first.

The most important thing right now is to quickly collect bamboo, which is an important raw material.

Following Zhou Xu's order, the barren mountain camp was fully operational.

During the time when the tribe members were busy and the sky was dark, Zhou Xu himself lived very leisurely, but it was not easy.

After a lot of mantra power is consumed, the feeling of dizziness is not good.

What he mainly does every day, besides paying attention to the plowing of new fields, is to rest.

Because the day when he left the barren mountain camp was getting closer day by day. Before that, he had to recover his strength quickly and use the 'eye of insight' to confirm all the remaining panels.

On this day, according to the report of his subordinates, Shi Lei, who led the transport team, arrived at the barren mountain camp smoothly.

"leader!"

At this moment, Shi Lei's whole body was ashamed, looking completely dusty.

Presumably, he had just arrived here, so he rushed to meet the leader before he had time to rest and wash up.

"Shi Lei, you have worked hard on this journey. You should know the general situation. You should rest for the night first. I will tell you about the various things here in the morning."

"Yes!"

After a reply, Shi Lei couldn't help asking Zhou Xu, who looked tired and exhausted all over his face...

"Boss, what is this?"

Facing Shi Lei's question, Zhou Xu took two seconds to react, and his whole spirit seemed a little dazed.

"Oh me? It's nothing serious, it's just that I've exhausted a lot of energy in the past two days, and I'm really too tired, which has caused my reaction to become a little sluggish now."

Having said this, Zhou Xu was in a trance for a while, and then forced himself to express...

"In short, let's rest first, and talk about other things after rest."

After finishing speaking, Zhou Xu, who was planning to go back to the tent to rest, stopped dawdling, and returned safely to the tent under Zhou Zhongshan's escort.

At this moment, he only felt that his head weighed a thousand catties, and with a 'boom' sound, he stuck his head on the animal skin cushion, and fell asleep as if unconscious.

Faced with this situation, Zhou Zhongshan was obviously used to it.

These days, it has been more difficult than Zhou Xu expected. There are more than 100 people in the barren mountain camp waiting for him to confirm the panel.

According to his plan, he had to watch all the panels of more than 100 people before leaving.

Now it seems that he made a mistake in his judgment and was too confident in his own strength.

In the past two days, he has watched almost half of the people. Even if he rests for a few more days before leaving, he can't bear to watch it, but it would be too late for him to stay in this barren mountain camp until he finished watching it. .

So after waking up, he made a decision.

[This time I’m going back to the Black Moon camp, anyway, I’m going to take another 50 people away from here, so let’s not look at the fifty people, just watch the ones that stay here. 】

After subtracting 50 people, there was not much left. Zhou Xu, who had decided on this idea, successfully completed the job after two days of rest.

It is a pity that so far, apart from Zhao Geng, there is really no one here.

Taking advantage of the gap between these two days, he has already explained to Shi Lei what he was going to explain, and now Zhou Xu has no plan to stay here any longer.

After the order was issued, the wooden carts of their transport team were filled with bamboo, and the group set foot on the return journey directly.

Zhou Xu, who left the mountain forest area and entered the Gobi area, clearly felt the increase in the ambient temperature.

[The weather is definitely above [-] degrees, right? 】

Looking up at the dazzling sun, Zhou Xu clearly realized that summer is coming!
