Please abide by the Basic Law

Cecil sometimes unconsciously misses things about the earth, such as chopsticks, such as concrete roads, these are not "special" places in his consciousness, and only a person as keen as Langdon can detect them.

"That's... um, a way." Cecil tried to fool it hopelessly.

"What kind of road?" Langdon was no one to be fooled.

"that is……"

"Why are you not afraid of the wind and rain?"

"Uh……"

"Why is it gray? Does it have to be gray?"

"..."

The two walked and whispered all the way until the dense grassland appeared under their feet. Cecil felt that this matter might not be good, so he had to confess: "I didn't hide it on purpose."

"I know." Langdon moved his arms up. Even as a human being, his height is still considerable, at least 1.9 meters, and his arms can completely wrap Cecil's head. "You just have too many thoughts in your head." , it’s okay, take your time, first tell me what the gray avenue is?”

"That's cement." Cecil said honestly, "a mixture of stone, lime and water, it's mud when it's used, it becomes hard after it's completely dry, there's no dust, no plants grow, and it's not afraid of Rain and snow."

Langdon didn't change his posture at all, and the two of them just walked forward in the same way as brothers, with one foot deep and the other shallow.

"Sounds good," Langdon commented a few minutes later. "Any trouble doing it?"

"It requires a lot of labor, stone, lime, and other things. By the way, let me tell you, there is something called Luo...uh, volcanic cement." Cy, who almost said the term "Roman mud" Syl bit his tongue desperately. He was sure that once he said it, Langdon would definitely ask "what is Rome?" He didn't want to make up other lies, "mix lime, volcanic ash and sea water together to make mud After adding tuff, this is Luo... volcanic cement. This cement is different from ordinary cement. It will not crack in the unsupported super-long-span space, and it is extremely hard and strong. It won't break, it's because Luo... There is an extra ingredient in the volcanic ash called aluminum, so this kind of cement is very easy to use. However, the solidification cycle of this thing is 180 days hahahaha, it takes half a year to solidify, and During this process, the surface of the cement should also be kept clean. If you want to make a pavement, you have to build the roof of the first half of the year hahaha. It only takes about 30 days for ordinary cement to solidify, and the surface solidifies in about 2 days..."

Cecil's voice became softer and weaker, and he finally shut up.

Cecil wanted to die as soon as Langdon opened his mouth: "Luo Volcanic Cement?"

Not Luo Volcanic Cement!

Cecil turned his face away, completely unable to face the handsome face of the male god.

"Also, what is aluminum?" Langdon is really good at grasping the key points. In other words, interpreting magic is really too easy to pick the key points. As long as there is no translation, it must be fine.

Cecil wiped his face, only to feel that his face was covered with sweat, obviously he wasn't particularly hot, but why did he feel so uncomfortable?

"Are there any volcanoes near the coastline in this world? Volcanoes that have erupted, active volcanoes, etc." Cecil asked simply.

Langdon didn't seem to hear "this world", and replied nonchalantly, "Yes, but it's a bit far from here."

"Well, then it can be made into something called... Luo volcano cement. It is mud-like when used, and it will become hard after a period of time. It can be shaped at will during use. After drying, it is wear-resistant, hard and waterproof. It’s a very good and cheap material for roads in construction, pavement and a lot of things.”

"Sounds great." Langdon said with emotion, "But the current production conditions are not enough, are they?"

"That's right!" Cecil echoed repeatedly as if he was grabbing for a life-saving straw, "This is all for the future, let's focus on the present first."

"But this is very beneficial to trade." Langdon looked at Cecil expectantly after finishing speaking.

The two stared at each other for a long time, Langdon remained silent, and Cecil lived like a year.

Finally, Langdon decided to let someone go first: "Okay, let's not think about it for now. Have you thought about anything recently? Anything other than leatherworking."

I didn't think about anything, I just wanted to touch your fur!

Cecil was about to squeeze out his brains, and suddenly grasped the point: "Ah, yes, tea!"

Langdon sighed, touched Cecil's head, let go of his arm, and said with a half-smile, "It's food again."

"This thing is not for eating, but for drinking, and it has a special purpose. It is a life-saving thing for sailors at sea, and it is also for people who mainly eat meat! It is not only a taste, but also has physical benefits !" Cecil's excited expression flinched after meeting Langdon's eyes, "Well, what, there are actually Kang, flush toilets, running water, etc., but we have to do things step by step, right? You can't become a fat man."

Langdon nodded.

Cecil secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Then when should we go and see the tea? This time should not be a good season for harvesting tea. The main thing is to determine the scale and scope and see if it can be transplanted."

"There is a chance." Langdon patted Cecil on the shoulder, as if he was thinking about something, "There are other things to consider at that time, you go and see first."

Probably because he spent too much energy with the city lord. When he got home, Cecil wanted to make a shelf for the well to fetch water. After cutting a few hardwoods, he felt weak and weak. He lay down on the bed and fell asleep until he woke up naturally.After opening his eyes, it was still a sunny day. Looking at the light coming in through the window, he felt his throat getting drier every day, and he always had a bad feeling.

The plateau areas on the earth are usually dry and cold. When the sun comes out, it becomes summer, and when the sun disappears, it immediately enters winter. This kind of place is very suitable for planting high-sugar plants such as watermelon, provided that the water source is abundant.This grassland is indeed located on a plateau, and apart from a few abnormal animals, it actually conforms to the geographical laws of the earth. In this way, we have to consider the problem of life after winter.

Not to mention anything else, how can this house survive the cold?

Thinking about this, Cecil took out the parchment that had been left out for a while, and wrote a paragraph: [How does this house keep warm in winter? 】

【Are you still here in winter?Oh, how pitiful. 】

Cecil: "..."

Aren't Nima and his gang prepared to spend the winter here?

Cecil fell into distress. It is indeed feasible to build a kang. The problem is that neither bricks can be made locally nor the windows can be closed. He has observed in Ebo that the windows in Ebo are a whole piece of wood. There was no light at all in the room, and there was no need for people. When it got dark, I went into the room and slept.

As for the temperature in winter and summer, Ebo City Lord is very praised in this regard, because there is a "city-wide air conditioner", although it will not adjust the temperature to the most comfortable point, but at least it can be tolerated, it just feels a little hot or a little cold point.

In this way, the issue of housing must indeed be considered.

Now the beef noodle business has been completely handed over to Mrs. Class and the four children. Their physical strength is very suitable for this kind of "light work"-in the concept of this world, this can hardly be called "work"- Everyone would help out the night before the preparation of the ingredients, and Cecil was in charge of supervising the taste and saffron, which Langdon requested, so-called mastery of the "core technology".

Mrs. Klass is very satisfied with her current life. It is said that her husband is also very concerned about business matters. The look in her eyes is full of pride, and she will never mention going back to Ebo, although every time Luther stabs her as a "wild people" Sometimes it will still fly into a rage.

In any case, this strange mother really liberated Cecil's energy a lot. He was very grateful and often gave her leftover meat, which was a joy to everyone.

"I think, let's start having breakfast today." After washing, Cecil said to Langdon who was sitting by the soup pot, "Is it okay to have three meals a day from now on?"

As expected, Luther was the first to jump up: "Look at your current appearance, God, what do you want to eat?"

"It's not enough to eat meat for a long time. I also want to develop tea." Cecil has learned to ignore Luther's point of view. "Today, I asked Carroll to have a look at tea."

"Who is Carroll?" Luther asked.

"The leader of the herd of elk." When mentioning this, Cecil remembered another thing, turned to the baby and said, "By the way, I'll take you to take a bath today. Is your injury healed?"

The baby who was gnawing on the ribs held up a paw, the bloody wound had scabbed over, and it didn't look so scary anymore.

"Very good, take a shower and brush... Oh, yes, I have to get a comb." Cecil touched his prickly beard, and now he has to be extra careful when he shaves with a dagger every day , so as not to shave your beard and cut your throat, "Does Ebo have combs for sale? How much money do I have now?"

The last sentence was for Langdon. Mrs. Klass handed over all the income to Langdon, and he didn't care about it.

"23 silver coins." Langdon said, "I have a comb, let Mrs. Class buy it by the way tomorrow."

Cecil was taken aback: "I have so much money?"

"Well, it will be gone soon." Langdon said with a smile. "The temple has sent news that it will send knights to support it. We will be in charge of Ebo's affairs in the future."

Cecil squinted his eyes, always feeling that things were slipping in a strange direction.

"Wait a minute, what does reinforcements have to do with money? Do you want us to be responsible for their food and drink?" Cecil immediately thought about the practical problem, "How many people are here?"

"100 people, don't worry, they have salaries and supplies." Langdon comforted, "However, I think the boat is too slow, so I plan to use the magic portal in Toto Port."

"Oh, how much does it cost?"

"Not much, about a hundred silver coins. They're a short-term transfer, so it's very cheap."

Cecil's hand holding the bowl trembled slightly: "...This is not enough."

Langdon smiled slightly, and said, "So, during this time, you should find a way to earn more money."

Cecil: "..."

Can you refuse?
