After the deal was concluded, Brandy bowed out of the carriage and quickly disappeared into the crowd with the plastic bag of medicinal materials.
Lying in the soft and comfortable carriage, Liu Xiao felt that something was missing.
"Hiss... If there is a secretary's leg pillow here... it would be perfect~!"
Liu Xiao admitted that he was drifting.
Standing up, he opened the carriage and jumped out of the carriage, looking at the dozens of applicants that had been screened out, and preparing to make the final decision.
On the other side, Brandy, who had already left the market at some point, got into a carriage that had been waiting by the roadside.
In the carriage, sitting a mysterious man covered in white robes.
Brandy sat across from the man and placed the plastic bag between them.
"This time I have gained a lot...but I judge that he must have better and more materials in his hands. Although he acts like he doesn't understand anything, in fact he is calm and impenetrable...He is also
Gave me this."
Brandy said as she took out a contract she had just signed.
"He said this thing is called an 'agreement', which is similar to a letter of credence signed between two countries... It can bind the signing parties to certain behaviors... I wonder if there is any magic mark left on it?"
"...."
After Brandy finished speaking, the mysterious man covered in a white robe stretched out his left hand and hovered directly above the contract.
He paused for a while, then withdrew his hand and said in an extremely ethereal voice: "I can't sense any magic residue...or...this is just an agreement...or...
At my level, I still can't see the other party's true intentions..."
Brandy put away the contract silently, with a solemn expression on her face.
"The other party is by no means an ordinary person... It seems that this agreement should have some kind of magical restraint... Liu Xiao... This person's identity is quite mysterious. Even if I use all my strength, I can't find any clues...
It seems necessary to report it to the president."
....
"Friends who have passed the preliminary review, stand here~~~Those who have no relevant work experience do not need to be discouraged~~Our chamber of commerce still needs some hard-working people~~As long as you are not afraid of hardship and tiredness, you will definitely get a job
Opportunity~!”
Liu Xiao looked at the forty people in front of him and calmed them down first.
Although his plan is to recruit only twenty people in the first batch, they will mainly build camps in the valley and explore gem mines nearby.
But when he had enough professionals, he realized that he had to hire some workers with brute force.
Looking at the ten giants led by Bang Bang, Liu Xiao's candidate for the "coolie" has been determined.
He decided to hire all forty-eight people and build a camp in the valley as soon as possible.
"Everyone, follow my carriage~~ Let's set off!"
Dwarf Johnson was sitting on the boss's new luxury carriage, looking a little at a loss.
This was the first time for him to sit in such a luxurious carriage, and he was a little reluctant to slap the noble horse in front of him.
The other carriage was dragged by Bang Bang back to Abu's cabin.
Liu Xiao divided the forty-eight newly recruited people into five groups and asked them to start logging along the path from Abu's cabin to the valley.
The cut down trees will be used as materials to build new wooden houses, along with some stones and straw, to first solve the problem of living for these people at night.
Liu Xiao found a dwarf who had built the house and drew him a rough layout plan.
His idea was very simple, that is, to build houses in circles and use buildings to enclose a relatively safe open space in the center.
"Oh~~~Boss, your idea is really great! I praise you~!"
The old dwarf took Liu Xiao's design sketch as if he had found a treasure, and immediately directed everyone to build the house.
Looking at the enthusiastic crowd, Liu Xiao gradually realized that something was wrong.
"Wait a minute...don't these people build houses without digging the foundation? Can such a house be stable?"
Although Liu Xiao is not an architect, he still knows some basic common sense.
The houses these indigenous people build can be summed up in four words - "simple and crude".
They would cut off the excess branches and buds from the trees they had cut down, and then smash them into the ground with brute force.
Then choose a relatively suitable stone to put on it as a roof.
Finally, the gaps are filled with straw and leaves, and the house is completed.
"...Isn't it possible that half of it will collapse if it rains?"
Only then did Liu Xiao realize that lizard man Abu's wooden house was already considered luxurious.
"Stop, stop, stop~~~Everyone, please stop for a moment~~! Do any of you... know about mortise and tenon joints?"
Liu Xiao stopped the heated crowd and planned to give them some advice.
"Damage the cat?"
"Bamboo shoot hair?"
"Sun Mao?"
"...."
Liu Xiao was silent for a while and decisively gave up the plan of teaching these people to build houses.
How could he teach these natives from another world when he himself knew only a little about it?
Liu Xiao, who was frowning, glanced around and suddenly fixed on the mountain behind Abu's cabin not far away.
This is an extension of the mountain in the valley, with a moderate slope and a lot of green plants.
An idea popped into Liu Xiao's head, which even surprised him.
"Yes...it's easy and fast...why not dig a cave dwelling?"
As soon as the idea came up, he immediately gathered everyone together.
When they were in school, the school organized them to visit old revolutionary areas, where many cave dwellings were built.
He remembered that there was a kind of cave dwelling called "Zhuang Kiln", also called "Yazhuang Kiln". They were usually built on the side of mountains, ditches and cliffs, which was just suitable for their current terrain.
Liu Xiaoyi started to explain to everyone based on the prototypes he saw in his memory and the basic knowledge the tour guide gave them.
"Everyone, look over here~! We can back up this hillside and dig holes~! Build a temporary camp!"
Liu Xiao held a branch in his hand and started drawing on the ground.
It stands to reason that you should not dig a cave dwelling too hastily. If you do so, there will be a lot of moisture in the soil and it will easily collapse.
But Liu Xiao and the others didn't have that much time, so they had to dig out and deal with the strange beasts at night first.
After the cave dwelling is dug, the arch will be cut out from the top of the cave, and then soil, mud, weeds and other materials will be used to fill the clay cave.
In order to ensure safety, Liu Xiao also decided to use some thick tree trunks to frame the cave dwelling to prevent it from collapsing in the middle of the night.
Dwarf Johnson, who has mined in this area, has experience and can be put to use.
After he finished explaining what a "cave dwelling" was, Goblin Kruk said "Oh": "Boss, I know~~~Everyone in my hometown used to dig holes like this~! But now this hole is dug
Just make it bigger ~ leave it to me!"
Liu Xiao snapped his fingers and gave Crook a thumbs up.
"Beautiful~! Crook, then I'll leave this matter to you. Everyone must listen to your command~~! Let's work hard and try to dig the hole before night comes, and then use the felled trees to build a circle.
Fence~! Let’s start doing it~~!”
After receiving Liu Xiao's affirmation, Crook's face glowed red and he felt like he was about to fly.
With a new direction, everyone once again burst out with unprecedented energy.
Liu Xiao looked at the tall and strong giants who were digging cave dwellings as fast as an excavator!
It's just...the tools they have are really weak...usually they will wear out one after thirty or fifty minutes of use.
"You also need to use some farm tools like hoes and shovels... If you want to do your job well, you must first sharpen your tools~"
