Age of Empires From Scratch

After asking Laura to get a full set of things related to Warcraft, Winter Village was very peaceful for the next few days.

David's heaviest job every day is to help Mark harvest various crops.

Chinese cabbage, Chinese cabbage, leeks, scallions, and cucumbers have all been successfully harvested, plus the massive amount of potatoes being harvested by eight contract farmers, not only is there no shortage of food reserves in Lindong Village, but there are even many varieties to enrich the menu.

so good!

Looking at all kinds of food piled up next to him, David Le couldn't close his mouth, always smiling. Even if several crops did not grow as expected, David was not disappointed.

Mark also made a very important discovery: Now the land near the village is much more fertile than before, and the land a little further away has become better than when I first came here.

you sure?

I'm sure, I've been observing the land conditions... To be honest, did you secretly use some strange spells? Mark observes the conditions of the farmland every day, and no one knows the land conditions of Cold Winter Village better than him , he can be very sure that the land in Lindong Village has become much more fertile than when he first came: The most striking example, have you not noticed that the potatoes in these fields are longer than the potatoes in the distant farmland? Is it bigger and more?

There's been a lot of things recently, and I haven't paid much attention to the crops. When he was free before, he often looked at them. Recently, a bunch of things happened one after another, just in time for the harvest, so he didn't notice these things: But , which should be a good thing.

Of course, more fertile land not only allows crops to grow better and produce more food, but also does not have too many restrictions on planting.

Mark then gave David Cope a variety of knowledge. Under normal circumstances, crops like potatoes are not recommended to be cultivated continuously. Generally, after one harvest, the land that has been planted with potatoes will be planted with other things. Because continuous planting will lead to a decline in yield, the reason is that the nutrients in the land that are useful for potatoes have been consumed in large quantities.

However, the land where potatoes were first planted in Lindong Village has been planted with potatoes for three consecutive rounds, and the yield has not decreased but has increased, and the land itself has even become more fertile. This situation is unscientific.

The most reasonable reason Mark could think of was David, the magical village chief. After all, the village head can 'call people' from various worlds, so it's not surprising that he can make the land fertile.

Hehehe, I actually don't know why!

David dealt with it with an embarrassed smile, but he already had the answer in his heart: Mark Watney is the root cause of the land becoming more fertile. If there is no surprise, as the relationship between him and Mark gets better and better, the land in Lindong Village may become more fertile.

In that case, the crops that cannot survive now may be successfully planted and bear fruit in the future. The agricultural prospects of Lindong Village are many times better than he thought at the beginning.

He originally thought that the village could only survive on crops such as potatoes. If he wanted more kinds of vegetables and food, he could only go to Iron Tree Fort to buy them.

After harvesting these crops, what should I plant next? Mark didn't worry too much about why the land is fertile. He wanted to continue testing what could be planted on this land.

Grow potatoes!

Potatoes have been tested...

No, it's not far from autumn now, and I'm afraid the rest of the time can only be planted with potatoes and other crops with a relatively short growth period.

The crops I tested didn't grow very long.

Well, that's up to you.

Of course, Mark has considered the climate of Winter Village. As the top (self-proclaimed) botanist on the earth, it is impossible for him to make such a low-level mistake. He asked about the general climate conditions of David Winter Village in various periods early on. And estimated the appropriate planting time.

Finally, taking advantage of the time before autumn, Mark decided to plant some radishes and shallots to enrich the menu in Winter Village.

While continuing to work in the field with Mark, Laura suddenly came to find David.

Is there something wrong?

Yes. Laura didn't shy away from Mark, ever since she knew she could bring someone to Cold Winter Village, she had this idea: I have a good friend and I want to bring him to live in Cold Winter Village. Chef on the Endurance.

Chef? David didn't respond yet, and Mark almost jumped up: This kind of talent must not be missed. I think the newly built canteen just needs a chef to sit in charge.

What Mark was talking about was the new building not far from the farmland at the foot. It looked a bit similar to the previous temporary large wooden house, but in fact, both the structure and the interior decoration were much more refined than the hastily built wooden house.

This canteen has a wide hall, enough for everyone in Lindong Village to eat at the same time and even has many vacancies. It was built some time ago, and various improvements have been carried out recently, but it is scattered and intermittent. Think it's done, and then someone finds something's missing, and that's because there's a lack of someone who's good at it.

What's the name of that friend?

Jonah Myawa, I think he's going to love it here.

David thought to himself, it was indeed this person, and then nodded to Laura: If that Jonah is willing to live in Cold Winter Village, of course I would like it.

In the new version of the Tomb Raider trilogy, Jonah is the only character other than Laura who appears in all three works. He is Laura's most trusted partner. Jonah did not live up to Laura's trust, and always firmly supported Laura to complete those adventures.

Of course, David has no reason to refuse such a person who is trustworthy in character and has a certain fighting capacity, not to mention that there is indeed a shortage of chefs in Lindong Village.

With more and more people in the village, Mark can’t always be a part-time cook. After all, Mark also has his own work to do. Just now he heard that Mark has arranged the planting plan for the next year: Mark is going to try some For crops with a relatively long growth period, plant some fruits by the way.

Continue to bury his head in his work, and when the work is finished, David carefully cleans up his personal hygiene. After changing his clothes and coming out, he saw Laura leading a strong man to visit the village.

David! This is Jonah. Laura pointed to the various buildings in the village to introduce Jonah. When she saw David coming out, she immediately introduced them: This is David, Rin The headman of Winter Village.

Hello, I'm Jonah Myawa. Jonah is a strong-looking man with a simple and honest look, and he always has a friendly smile on his face, which is easy to arouse people's goodwill.

Hi, I'm David. Reaching out to shake hands with Jonah, David welcomed Jonah: Welcome to Cold Winter Village.

For the specific situation, Laura should have introduced this Jonah. After getting to know each other, Jonah lamented that since he met Laura, his world view has been reshaped, and all kinds of weird things I have seen it.

Now I have come to another world. Although it looks no different from the earth here, since Laura told him that he has arrived in another world, then he has arrived in another world: This looks beautiful.

Jonah looked around and lamented the environment of Lindong Village: to the west is a vast and incomparably large river, flowing down from north to south and then turning west at the west of Lindong Village; to the north is a dense forest, Looking further away, you can see the mountain peaks standing in an unknown distance. Standing in the village of Lindong, you can see the peaks covered with snow.

The east and south sides are plains. Looking to the east and south, there are large expanses of verdant green grass, with waves blowing in the wind, like a green ocean.

Yeah, it's beautiful here. If it wasn't for the beauty, the development team would not have chosen to build a village here. At that time, everyone did not expect such a harsh living environment under this beautiful scenery.

Fortunately, with David's awakening of Goldfinger and some hard work, Cold Winter Village has the qualifications to survive in this place for a long time.

Would you like to see the cafeteria? Jonah was brought here in order to make Jonah the chef in the cafeteria.

I also want to see where I will work in the future. Jonah is also very curious about his future working environment. Visiting early can also determine what he needs earlier, and then go shopping as soon as possible.

There should be a lot of problems, so the village needs professionals like you very much. I took Jonas into the cafeteria for a visit, and Jonas was very satisfied with the environment of the cafeteria. Such a cafeteria built purely with wood has a unique aesthetic feeling , but the environment in the kitchen made him not know how to comment, so he could only smirk a few words.

David knew that Jonah was too embarrassed to say bad things, so after taking a tour around, he asked Jonah to study it by himself.

Jonah was also polite, took out a pen and a small notebook, and counted the various tools in the kitchen to determine the various tools he wanted to buy.

Turning to look at Laura, who was winking at him.

They walked out of the cafeteria with Laura, and chatted outside the cafeteria door.

Speaking of which, what kind of compensation should I offer this Jonah?

Actually, Jonah doesn't care about these things, but he has always hoped to open his own restaurant. Laura glanced at the cafeteria in front of him: This cafeteria won't exist for long, right?

She knew some of David's follow-up plans, and knew that David would not keep Cold Winter Village in such a small village state for a long time.

Yes, it won't be long before this place will be transformed into a restaurant...or a hotel. Facilities like the canteen, like the water system, are just overused facilities, and they will be gradually upgraded or eliminated.

At the same time, David also understood what Laura meant, and let Jonah be the owner of the hotel at that time. For a talent with a certain combat effectiveness and a very guaranteed character, this salary is really not high.
