The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer

Some things are better off said out loud. Hiding the truth from each other will only make the problem worse.

After explaining his intentions clearly to Li's mother, Earth Li was able to continue his farming plan.

[Don’t you think these sheep are weird? ]

"I didn't think so before, but after you told me, I suddenly find these sheep unpleasant to the eye."

Li and his follower Xiaoli were squatting outside the sheep pen together. The sheep inside the fence were eating grass slowly. When they raised their heads, they would look at Li.

Wagyi sheep are a type of livestock that retreated from the southern continent along with humans. They are a very popular livestock breed among humans because of their strong adaptability and high wool and meat yields.

But the Waji sheep in front of him are very different from the sheep on Earth.

These curly-haired sheep look more like deer, and each individual is much taller than sheep on Earth.

But the difference in size was not what surprised Li the most. The shapes of these guys were simply unbearable.

The ram has a 3:7 bangs on his head, and every time he looks up he tilts his head handsomely.

In addition to the curved horns on the ewe's head, there is also a pair of pointed ears that stand upright like a cat.

In addition, the ewe has charming double eyelids and red lips as if she had applied lipstick.

You told me this creature is a domestic animal!

Li admired the butchers in this world in his heart. How stable their spirits were.

"I've decided not to touch a piece of mutton for three days!"

Li uttered a loose oath, then turned to look at the poultry in another pen nearby.

A bird about the same size as an ostrich but with colorful feathers was lying quietly on a pit. There were a few round eggs in the pit, which looked very appetizing.

In a town like this with a shortage of food, those eggs would be lost if nothing goes wrong... No way!

Those eggs were full of fat, and no one would eat them unless they were starving to death.

The oil that Li used to fry cakes these days was filtered from those eggs.

By the way, the male birds of that species like to peck at eggs that have not yet hatched, so the egg-laying female birds must be kept in a separate pen.

[These are all incomprehensible ecosystems, but fortunately we have no shortage of meat or fat! ]

Among the ten thousand shocking elements, Li extracted some information that is beneficial to the current situation.

The arable land here limits the amount of food, but the non-staple foods are unexpectedly abundant. However, the humans who often flee in wars and exiles have not developed a systematic food culture.

[I decided to open a restaurant here and promote the food of my hometown! ]

After a long investigation, Li returned home with his latest results.

After hearing Li's statement about opening a restaurant, Li's mother and Xiaoli agreed wholeheartedly without even asking any questions.

They were all conquered by Li's delicious food.

"Son, you can definitely make a lot of money by opening a restaurant with your cooking skills. The pub opened by Sam in our town should have closed down long ago!"

Xiaoli nodded vigorously, agreeing with her wife's evaluation.

The only restaurant in the town, apart from selling bread and stewed beans which every restaurant makes, can only provide sour beer, and the supply is limited!

"By the way, Master, what about what you promised Miss Theresa? Opening a restaurant will only consume food. It's impossible to increase the food supply, right?"

Fortunately, Xiaoli helped remember the agreement between Li and Theresa. Li nodded to her and affirmed the relationship between opening a restaurant and increasing food.

"Proper commercial development will promote the flow of materials, increase the supply of raw materials, and bring in additional population."

Lee used terms he had learned from his other self, explaining the relationship between economic and population growth.

His words left the two ladies stunned.

"Opening a restaurant will attract more people and consume more food. Even if some merchants come here and bring some food to sell, the growth won't keep up with the consumption, right?"

Li is very happy that there are still many people who love to think in this world.

As long as the people here don't fill their brains with muscles, it will be much easier for Li to do things.

"In fact, the main purpose of doing this is to motivate everyone. When the food that was hard to swallow in the past is transformed into delicious food, do you think more people will want to grow food seriously?"

Mother Li and Xiaoli nodded. They were eager for the wheat in the field to grow as quickly as possible.

"But even if someone wants to farm, we don't have that much land..."

"Where there is population, there is land. Gravel hills are just naturally full of rocks, so they are not suitable for farming. There is no fundamental problem with the soil here. As long as the rocks are removed, this large area of ​​land can become excellent farmland."

Xiaoli and Li's mother looked at each other, and they understood the meaning of encouragement that Li mentioned.

Ever since the war with the demons ended in failure, humans lost the land suitable for survival in the southern continent, and the refugees have been living in tension.

In an unfamiliar environment, you need to explore new areas wherever you go. Even if you manage to put down roots, you don’t know what problems will arise that will require you to leave your hometown again.

Troubled by such an atmosphere for a long time, people gradually became numb and lost their enthusiasm for the land.

Is there really no way for humans living on gravel hills to clear the gravel and open up more farmland?

Of course they have the ability, but the worry about the future and the lack of security make people around them subconsciously isolate themselves.

There is no need to spend much effort, and perhaps we will have to move again soon. Most people have this idea, and even the Li family who have lived here for several years are no exception.

"It is wrong for us to only treat this place as a temporary shelter! If we want to develop again and accumulate enough strength to fight back to the south, we must turn this place, the land under our feet, into our base camp!"

Li knocked on the table and directly borrowed some of the knowledge from Earth Li to stir up the emotions of his mother and Xiaoli.

"We can't retreat again. Even if there is still space in the north of the continent, it is not suitable for us to survive! And if we can't even defend the Gravel Hills, how can we expect to gain a foothold in the north in the future!"

If you leave room in your heart, you will be able to retreat again and again when facing pressure.

Li believed that as long as enough forces were gathered, the decline could be stopped, otherwise mankind would have perished long ago.

Li's passionate lines not only moved his mother and the maid, but also immersed Li himself in a sense of mission.

"Okay! Let's prepare to build a restaurant right away. Mom will use your dad's private savings to support you!"

"Thank you, Mom, you are so great!"
