"This is the temporary camp of our Riot Chamber of Commerce in the Cursed Land."
Liu Xiao took the half-orc Rosa to visit in front of the cave dwelling that everyone had dug.
"How about we call these houses 'cave dwellings'? Do you want to go in and try them?"
The half-orc Rosa looked at a cave-like house that she had never seen before, her eyes widened and she was completely attracted.
What surprised her even more was that there were tall Cyclops, short goblins, stocky dwarves, and smart humans in this camp.
There seems to be no racial boundaries between them, they collaborate and work together, and they are full of high-spirited energy and vitality everywhere!
More importantly, Rosa saw that each of them seemed to have never been hungry, and their faces were glowing. Unlike her tribe, sallow faces were their norm, and listlessness was always with them.
The jungle orcs, who were once famous for their fighting, can now only rely on a few talented young people to make a living.
Thinking of this, Rosa's initial excitement gradually subsided.
Liu Xiao noticed that the beautiful woman with a horn on her forehead was a little depressed. He changed the subject and pointed to a wooden shed enclosed behind Abu's wooden house and said: "Hey Rosa~~ Do you know what it is used for? ?”
"Um?"
Rosa looked up, her eyes full of confusion, and she shook her head blankly.
"Come with me, I'll take you to see it."
Liu Xiao said, taking Rosa's hand very naturally and dragging her close to the wooden shed.
Below the wooden shed, there are some wooden fences that divide it into squares that can only accommodate one person. Above each square hangs a hollow coconut shell, which is also filled with tiny holes.
Liu Xiao stood below with a smile on his face, reaching out to pull a rope connecting the coconut shell above.
With a "crash" sound, a basin of clean water was poured from the reservoir above into the coconut shell, and the coconut shell full of holes dispersed the water into tiny water columns and sprinkled them down.
"How's it going? Rosa hasn't seen it before, has she? It's called a shower~! Although it's still relatively simple now, fortunately it's summer and you won't feel cold if you take a cold shower.
How about it? Do you want to try it? I will guard the door for you to prevent others from approaching. Use the water flowing from above to wash your body and hair. There are also shampoo, body soap and bath towels that I brought. Try it. Try it out, it’s very comfortable.”
Rosa looked at the water columns falling like rain and was quite surprised.
Such an exquisite device is completely unheard of and unseen by the orcs who live deep in the forest.
In fact, don't talk about them, even the big shots in the abandoned castle among the dwarves, at most they can only soak in the hot spring pool. When have they ever taken a shower?
Ensuring the hygiene of the camp was also a rigid condition that Liu Xiao immediately conveyed to these indigenous people.
He didn't want to see the camp the next day when he came in, full of urine and feces, and the stench was so high. So personal hygiene must be done first.
Watching Liu Xiao pick up the shower gel and shampoo and give her a simple demonstration, the half-orc Rosa immediately became very interested in those viscous liquids that can produce white foam and have a fragrant smell.
"Okay, Rosa, I'll have someone bring you a change of clean clothes. You take a shower here first, and I'll guard you at the door."
"Master...thank you!"
Rosa lowered her head, feeling unbelievable at what she had experienced.
She had never imagined that any slave owner who purchased a slave would back away from the door while the slave was bathing?
This is really unbelievable! Shouldn’t the slave clean the master’s body first?
In fact, Liu Xiao had a little impulse just now, but he still held it back.
After all, we are pioneers from the civilized world. We cannot be assimilated by these natives so quickly. We still have the bottom line~ He cannot force others.
Although Liu Xiao never considered himself to be a gentleman, this kind of thing... After all, it is still comfortable for you and me to do what we want.
After retreating outside the bathroom door, Liu Xiao asked Abu to take out a set of men's T-shirts from the goods he had delivered.
There was no way, they were all men here, and Liu Xiao didn't prepare any clothes such as skirts in advance.
Fortunately, Rosa is quite tall. But without her bare feet, excluding the horns on her head, she is already taller than Liu Xiao. If she wears boots or high heels, the gap will be even more obvious.
Hearing the sound of water finally coming from behind him, Liu Xiao swallowed and his expression became a little unnatural.
"What are you thinking, grandma...? Now is not the time to indulge in beauty... There are still many things that need to be dealt with... Hey! Who is that over there? Did I say that open defecation is not allowed in the camp!?
Kota! If I see anyone breaking the rules, I’ll give him twenty lashes first! Then I’ll deduct that day’s dinner!”
Liu Xiao saw a goblin urinating on a tree root, and immediately became furious.
He ordered the undead Kota to perform the duties of an overseer, holding a bamboo whip in his hand, and punished the goblin who violated discipline with twenty lashes.
New company, new atmosphere. Since the Boxing Gloves Chamber of Commerce has brought absolutely favorable working conditions to everyone, anyone who breaks the rules must be punished!
Corporal punishment is only the lightest, and deprivation of food is not considered serious. The most serious punishment given by Liu Xiao is to be expelled from the Riot Chamber of Commerce and never to be hired!
People who are disobedient or have trouble controlling themselves are not qualified to enjoy the 996 blessings! They only deserve to wallow in the mud for the rest of their lives and be a loser!
These are Liu Xiao's exact words. After giving a sweet treat, you must take out a big stick and swing it twice. After all, the combination of kindness and power is the long-lasting way to control your subordinates.
"Boss, according to your instructions, we have set aside an experimental field in the east and planted those seeds. But no one here knows how to grow food. We have never even seen the seeds you brought, and we have no idea.
How to plant."
Following Liu Xiao's previous instructions, lizard man Abu stood in front of Liu Xiao with a lot of questions, waiting for the latest instructions from the messenger of God.
"Hell...how do I know how to farm? I only know how to water, fertilize and other things after planting? God knows!"
Although he complained like this in his heart, Liu Xiao could not show any timidity in order to maintain his character.
He thought for a while, nodded with a straight face and said, "It's done well. Now I only need to water a small amount of water regularly every day, and then dilute the bag of fertilizer I brought and spread it into the ground. The rest will be left to time."
, after all, this is just a test field, whether it can bear fruit and produce food is still unknown."
Yes, it is indeed unknown.
Liu Xiao decided to fudge it with ambiguity first, and waited until he returned to the real world tonight before going to the library to buy a professional book related to agriculture to make up for the bad.
Just as he was prevaricating Abu's questions, Goblin Crook came over again.
"Boss, boss~~~There is a problem that we must solve as soon as possible, otherwise both life and projects will be affected."
"Huh? What needs to be solved urgently?"
After Liu Xiao asked, he saw the little goblin standing on tiptoes and pointing into the distance, frowning and shrugging: "Boss, our place is a bit far from the river. There were few people the day before, and one carry of water was enough for a day or two. But now there are no more people."
A lot of people have to be sent to get water every three hours, which is very inconvenient.
If we still build camps in the valley, we will be further away from the river, and water sources will be a big problem. This tank-by-tank transportation can no longer meet our daily needs."
After listening to Crook's report, Liu Xiao took a breath and frowned together.
Yes, when he was shopping yesterday, all he could think about was farming and building buildings, but he ignored one of the most important issues.
Where does the water come from? That was a question he had thought about when he decided to develop the mineral vein, but he was distracted by other things and forgot about it.
