Chapter 18 Food Crisis

The next morning, Yang Yi took the old blind eye and rode the turtle mount toward the canyon village. After all, Yang Yi and the Fishman Merchant had just been to the Canyon Village yesterday. It would be a bit suspicious if they came back so soon. Others don’t know the existence of the turtle mount. Just in case Yang Yi and the Fishman Merchant should not come forward.

Yang Yi also brought Lao Xiaoyan, the deputy village chief, because his expertise in "negotiation (B)" was very effective for the indigenous people. After Lao Xiaoyan left, no one directed the construction of the fishman hut. Fortunately, the fishman hut in the village has been built at a rate of two a day for the past seven days. At present, there are less than forty fishmen in the village. One fishman hut can accommodate five fishmen. These built fishman huts are temporarily enough for the fishmen in the village.

When he arrived at the coast near Canyon Village, Yang Yi asked Lao Zhaoyan to go to Canyon Village alone with coins. Lao Zhaoyan had the expertise of "negotiation (B)" and it was easy to go to Yuren Village alone to buy some small things.

Lao Zhaoyan was led by the fishman in Canyon Village. Yang Yi rode a turtle mount nearby to check. The things sold by the merchants in Canyon Village not only include alchemy potions but also copper ore for sale. It seems that the mines were discovered. Copper ore is an important material for the development of the village. As the village continues to develop, these things will be needed sooner or later. Copper ore is not as good as stone, and wood is placed on the surface. If the mineral is not found, then I want to mine Ratchet Village even if someone has tools, I can only stare at it.

Yang Yi followed the coastline back and forth and did not find the existence of the mine. At this time, Lao Zhaoyan walked out of the canyon fishman village. For some reason, a stranger with a bunch of tools was followed behind him.

Yang Yi uses his skills to view the attribute information of strangers.

【Fishman Hard Work】

【Level 2 Fishman】

【Junior quarry】

【Skill: Level 1 quarrying】

It turned out to be the quarry that Yang Yi was looking for!

"Lord, this fishman is a junior quarry, he is a slave. I happened to find his master buying him, so I bought him." Lao Zhao said excitedly.

"Buy it? How much did it cost?" Yang Yi asked. Lao Zhaoyan only brought less than 12 coins to Canyon Village. After deducting the pile of things he bought, there should not be much left.

"I exchanged him for the high-quality heavy sword." Lao Zhaoyan explained.

"Oh." Yang Yi noticed that Lao Yan's weapon was gone, "I did a good job. I'll hand you over this high-quality heavy sword."

A fishman with expertise is easy to use. The old blind "negotiation (B)" expertise brought unexpected surprises to Yang Yi, and solved the things he was worried about in an instant.

Lao Wuyan obviously was worried about the lack of quarry after entering Canyon Village. In addition, his negotiation expertise played a role among the indigenous people, so he had the opportunity to exchange his weapons for this fishman slave.

Lao Wuyan, a subordinate, was willing to worry about the Ratchet Village and was willing to sacrifice. As the boss, Yang Yi naturally could not let him suffer a loss, so he immediately gave Lao Wuyan the high-quality heavy sword he carried with him.

"Thank you Lord!" Lao Xiaoyan didn't just push this trick openly and secretly, so he took Yang Yi's heavy sword directly.

"Are you willing to join our Ratchet Village?" Yang Yi asked the fishman slave.

"..." The fishman slave did not answer but looked at Lao Yan.

"Now he is your master." Lao Zhaoyan said to him.

"I, do." The fishman slave said weakly, sounding like he didn't like or object to joining the Ratchet Village.

The fishman slaves have no intention of their own and are completely obeying the master's arrangements. There are few wars within the fishman race, but it does not mean that there are no fishman slaves. It is very common for slaves and slave owners to appear in primitive and backward societies like the Fishman Village.

Yang Yi didn't care about the inner thoughts of the fishman slave. He asked the fishman slave this way not just to listen to his answer, but to wait for the change in the attribute information of the fishman slave.

Sure enough, after the fishman slave answered, there was another line on his attribute information: "To be: Ratchet Village".

"Okay, let's talk about it together." Since Yang Yi has been certified, he is relieved.

When Yang Yi returned to Ratchet Village, he asked Lao Yan to arrange the quarrying work. The rest of the thing to do was to wait patiently for rest.

In the evening of the same day, the old blind found Yang Yi, and the food supply in Yuren Village was in crisis.

Lao Wuyan explained to Yang Yi in detail that there are 41 fishmen in Ratchet Village, of which 10 fishmen were arranged to quarret, 7 fishmen logging, and 5 fishmen hunters (another recruited another day before yesterday) were responsible for exploring the waters near Ratchet Village. Three combat professions were not responsible for production, and one fishman with herb collection skills was arranged to collect thorn algae. In other words, there were only 15 fishmen responsible for the food of 41 fishmen. This is a task that is impossible to complete when Ratchet Village is now low in productivity and food is entirely relied on collecting wild animals and plants.

"What should I do? I don't have food and money." Yang Yi then realized how much pressure it would be for the Ratchet Village to force the old blind to draw 10 fishmen to quarry. However, Yang Yi was not sure whether the 10 fishmen could collect enough stones to build the fishmen seedling pond within ten days. If the task failed because of the few quarry fishmen sent, it would be too late. The lottery system is the biggest reliance for the rapid development of the Ratchet Village.

"The sea area near Ratchet Village has been explored almost enough, and a lot of edible seaweed has been found. The five fishman hunters left one to explore the outside world and paid more attention to the movements of the lobsters. The other four fishman hunters sent them to collect food. Most fishmans were sent to collect seaweed instead of fishing. After collecting enough stones and building the seedling pond, the fishman could be reduced. Well, reduce the number of lumberjacks and also sent to collect seaweed."

Yang Yi made arrangements while considering it. He decided to ensure the construction of the fishman nursery pond to the greatest extent, but the food in the fishman village will become a little worse next. This can only be a temporary solution and will affect the morale of the fishman in the long run. As an indigenous people, the fishman has many things to pay attention to or has many hidden attributes. For example, Brack, a fishman beach walker, is definitely more efficient than ordinary fishman to log wood, but the consequence is to reduce hidden attributes such as morale. For example, the fishman lying in the fishman hut and sleeping on the ground, it seems that there is no difference between sleeping in the fishman hut and sleeping on the ground, but it looks very different to the fishman.

The food problem is almost the biggest obstacle to the development and growth of all nearby fishman villages. In many fishman villages, almost all fishman in the villages have to go out to find food every day. Just like the fishman who earns junior construction workers in Ratchet Village, who have skilled fishmans have to go to the beach to find food before, so they are attacked by lobsters. Many fishman villages exiled the fishman young and the fishman who are young and let them fend for themselves due to food pressure.

The food problem in Yuren Village needs to be solved as soon as possible. The matter of growing seaweed should be started as soon as possible. Even if you try to breed, you should try it early. After all, only a stable source of food is the most powerful guarantee for the development of the village.

Yang Yi once asked the old blind mermaids to collect seaweed "seeds" and shells. During this period, the fishmen who came to the sea to collect seaweed and several fishman hunters collected a lot of seaweed spores and shells. It was time to start trying to grow seaweed.
