Chapter 1366 Eating without leaving seeds
"Quick, one row goes to patrol the surrounding coasts, the second row goes to search nearby, the third row goes to search along the river bank, and the fourth row goes to search nearby mountains and forests. Come back on time after an hour. It is best to catch a few Tumans and come back..."
At this time, Chen Xu, Yu Wuya, Cao Shen and Han Xin, who had already disembarked, were studying the situation of the docking area. The ship workers and crew and the two thousand young men who accompanied them were also lined up to get off the boat one after another, and various tools were also lifted from the boat with thick cables to start distributing.
According to Chen Xu and Yu Wuya's idea, since there is a pier here, there must be people moving around, and there is also a river with plenty of fresh water. The surrounding terrain is also very flat. It is the best choice for camping.
The most important thing is that it is almost close to Dongye County, the capital of Central Fujian. Although the island is large, it only requires a large area for training for only 2,000 people. Chen Xu did not intend to conquer Taiwan and divide the county and county management at the moment. Just like Yingzhou, in this era, due to the drag of transportation and productivity, Taiwan is far from worthy of attention.
At present, central Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan, Guizhou and other places are still wilderness. The court's vision is not so far, and its hands cannot be stretched out so long. Of course, Chen Xu will not be thankless to take care of Taiwan.
And it seems that Taiwan's minerals are also scarce.
Chen Xu actually has a very limited understanding of Taiwan. In addition to several larger cities such as Taipei, Keelung, Kaohsiung, Taoyuan, etc., he only knows that Taiwan is opposite the coast of Fujian, about 200 kilometers away. He also learned Sun Moon Lake when he was a child. When he grew up, he also heard of the girls from Alishan. If he grows up, he knows the familiar underworld of the Daquan Gang, Dongxing, Xinyi'an, and Zhulian Gang. If he grows up, he will be familiar with the gangs such as the Taiwan independence and the Blue Camp Green Camp spit on each other. Later, he heard from Taiwanese people that the mainland cannot afford tea eggs...
When Chen Xu heard this news, he sneered and bought ten tea eggs in one breath and posted a post on Weibo to show off.
That's all.
Based on Chen Xu's very limited understanding of Taiwan and his general geographical location, the current docking area should be near Taipei, which is also the best place in Taiwan.
"Marty, please wait around to check. There are some abandoned wooden houses and barren grain fields nearby. Some people should have lived in it a few years ago!" A crew member came to report.
"Go and go and have a look!"
Chen Xu became interested and followed Cao Shen, Shang Qi, Han Xin and others to the southeast. Sure enough, he saw seven or eight bamboo and wood houses among the lush thorny weeds. The style was very similar to that in the Wu, Yue and Minzhong area. The rail-style stilt floors were covered with thatch, but these houses had collapsed and had long been eroded and submerged by thorny weeds.
"Marty, there are some grain fields nearby that have traces of cultivation, but they have been abandoned. According to the circumstances, it has been almost three to five years..."
"There was still a person living three or five years ago, but I don't know why it was abandoned suddenly? This place looks good!" Cao Shen looked around and said in confusion.
"There seems to be traces of people using the pier. The abandonment is probably another reason, and someone nearby is sure!" Han Xin nodded.
"Well, I have sent someone out to search, and it should be a result soon. Brother Yu, this place is good, the terrain is flat and the view is wide, and it is convenient for farming and fishing training. So I just settled here. Shang Qi will transport supplies and supplies in the future!" Chen Xu turned to Yu Wuya and said.
"Just follow the arrangements of my benefactor!" Yu Wuya nodded indifferently. For those who are accustomed to wandering around the world, it doesn't matter where they live. The only thing is that they cannot live in one place for a long time, and it is best to have a little stimulating activity, otherwise people will rust.
"Give me instructions. In recent days, we will step up the logging of trees and trees to build the barracks and warehouses to remove the food, goods, weapons and ammunition. You can do the rest slowly. It will be fine to finish it within a month?" Chen Xu asked.
"My benefactor, don't worry, more than 3,000 people work together, and the barracks and warehouses will be completed in just two or three days. The remaining training grounds and canteens and other living facilities will be completed at most five or six days. Everything can be arranged within half a month!" Yu Wuya nodded.
"That's good, you can arrange it first~"
"Okay, the situation nearby is unknown. Don't go too far!" Yu Wuya reminded him and turned around and left. Soon, loud shouts and scolding came from everywhere. Two thousand recruited teenagers and more than a thousand boatmen, crew and guards who came with the ship all began to take action. They took various tools such as knives, axes, saws, and hoes from the ship. Under the leadership of their respective managers and leaders, they began to clean up thorns and weeds, cut down trees and wood, prepared to build a barracks and warehouses, Heping Town camp.
In an instant, the sound of people waving the scythes, axes, saws, hoes and shovels were everywhere. As the sound of sawings and slashing, large areas of lush weeds and thorns began to fall, trees and bushes were cut down, and the sound of falling down came one after another.
Looking at the magnificent lively scene in front of him, Chen Xu suddenly felt a sense of pride that he had never felt before.
Damn it seems that playing the Empire Age is much more enjoyable than playing chicken.
"Brother Xiaoxu, go and see. We found a very strange tree nearby, with many large balls growing on it..." Yu Ji ran over from a distance with her skirt hem.
"Haha, how can a ball grow on the tree? It's not a fruit, right?" Han Xin said with a smile.
"Brother Xin guessed wrongly, it was not a fruit at all. Aunt Xia cut it open and looked at it. It was full of juice, no flesh, and the outer shell was as hard as wood. Brother Xiaoxu, come with me to see it!" Yu Ji took Chen Xu's hand and turned around and left.
"Marty, are there really long ball trees in the world?" Cao Shen, Han Xin and Shang Qi were bored and asked.
"It should be a coconut fruit, a fruit unique to the southern islands. Just look at it!"
Chen Xu was pulled by Yu Ji and ran to a thorny bush near the beach. Sure enough, he saw seven or eight familiar plants, with crooked and thick trunks, palm-like leaves on the tops, and a few green-skinned fruits squeezing together at the roots of the leaves.
At this time, Shui Qingrou Xia Zijin and Xiang Jing were all standing under the tree, studying a few split coconuts. When she saw Chen Xu coming, Shui Qingrou quickly handed the coconut in her hand and said, "Husband, look, what kind of plant is this? It grows so strangely, and there are many round empty wooden shells growing on it!"
"Haha, you have found good things. I taught you a song a few days ago. There is no coconut forest and the setting sun, just a blue sea. Do you still remember it... This is the coconut tree. This fruit is called coconut, which is a very delicious fruit..."
"Shut, cut open the wooden shell and just have a pack of water. How can there be delicious?" Xia Zijin said with a lip.
"The delicious thing is this coconut milk, a natural beauty and beauty-beauty drink, which is much better than herbal tea. Drink more and more beautifully, and drink it from childhood to adulthood!"
"Mr. Marquis, what does it mean to drink from childhood? Does it mean that children love to drink?" Cao Shen asked curiously.
"Hehe, this matter cannot be said!" Chen Xu woke up and laughed dryly, and changed the subject a few times. He pulled out the dagger from his waist to peel the peel outside the coconut juice and exposed the wooden shell. Then he carefully cut out a hole until the crystal clear snow-white flesh and coconut juice inside were exposed.
"Help me find a hollow tube!" Chen Xu ordered. Several people were searching nearby for a while. Shang Qi handed over a hollow grass stem of unknown species. Chen Xu inserted the grass stem and took a sip. In an instant, a warm and natural sweet smell filled the entire mouth.
"Hu~~" This is the most natural coconut flavor.
Chen Xu was breathing happily, and his face was full of comfort. Only Han Xin, Cao Shen and others were so proud that they could only hold their Adam's apples. Then, without waiting for Chen Xu to speak, they picked up one from the ground, pulled out their weapons they carried with them and started to do the same. Soon, there was a crackling sound of juice splashing out. After cutting, some looked for straws, some were directly poured into their mouths, and some were dipped with their fingers. Anyway, the drinking method was different.
"It's delicious and delicious. Sweet and sweet are definitely more delicious than herbal tea and even better than brown sugar water!"
Several men drank so much that they kept singing.
"Brother Xiaoxu, leave some for me!" Yu Ji, who had weak ability to do things, held Chen Xu's sleeves and begged.
"Um, okay!" Chen Xu stuffed the coconut into Yu Ji's hand, and when he bent down and went to the ground to pick it up, he found that it was gone, so he looked up at the coconut on the top of the coconut tree.
There are about seven or eight coconut trees in this area. Because they are covered by nearby thorns and trees, it is not easy to find if you don’t care. Most of them are crooked. There are no coconuts on the shorter trees, and only the two tallest trees are on the tops, but the height is four or five meters. Chen Xu looked at it for a few times and turned to Shang Qi and said, “Climb up and pick a few!”
Shang Qi's hand shook the coconut and almost fell to the ground. He shook his head with a sad face and said, "Mr. Marquis, I can't climb trees!"
"Mr. Marquis, don't look at me, either of them!" Cao Shen shook his head and refused before Chen Xu could see him.
"Brother knows that I can't climb trees, not to mention that there are not even bare branches of this tree, so it is definitely not easy to climb. When I finish drinking this, I will find a few teenagers..."
"Don't you know the magic of immortals? You still have to climb trees?" Xia Zijin despised Chen Xu, a pseudo-immortal disciple, as always, and stood beside him holding a coconut and sucking a straw and saying disdainfully.
"Husband, these trees are too tall, so don't climb, as you may get hurt. We will go to the nearby area later to look for it." Shui Qingrou also held a coconut and smiled with her eyes.
"Mr. Marquis, my brother can climb trees, I'll call him here!" Xiang Jing also held a coconut and slowly tasted it. Seeing Chen Xu spinning around several coconut trees, he turned around and prepared to call Xiang Yu for help.
"Why do you have to be so troublesome? Get out of the way!"
Xia Zijin held the coconut in one hand, pulled out the sword on his back with a choke, jumped up with the toes, and stepped on several coconut trees with his feet. His agile figure rose into the air, accompanied by a swaying branch and leaves, and an instant green shadow was already three or four feet high.
"Broken~"
Accompanied by a beautiful and delicate shout, the sword in Xia Zijin's hand swung out, and a bright sword shadow lit up in the sunlight. Chen Xu retreated and closed his eyes.
"Crack~" As the sword light passed, a coconut tree, which was more than meter tall, broke down in response to the sound, and then fell down like a dark cloud.
"Boom~"After the sound of branches and leaves breaking and colliding, the huge coconut crown hit the ground heavily, dust and weeds flying and stirring, a few coconuts rolled to the feet of Chen Xu and others, and Xia Zijin also landed on the ground almost at the same time, choking with a sword, he turned his head and looked at Chen Xu with contempt.
Chen Xu:...
Cao Shen, Han Xin and Shang Qi all hugged Coconut and opened their mouths in a daze.
"See what I'm doing, don't you have coconut now?" Xia Zijin withdrew her contemptuous gaze and continued to suck the tube.
"I know why you were driven down the mountain by the master's sect. You must often eat without leaving any seeds..."
