Chapter 203: Expansion of Underwater Forces
A group of finless porpoises!
Liang Qu raised his eyebrows.
Today's good news comes in waves.
The Yangtze River dolphin is known as the wolves of the river!
When he took control of the round-headed dolphins, it was because of the high organizational ability of the finless porpoises. Even if the group's level was slightly weaker, they could still fight against monsters of a higher level by working together.
Moreover, when a leader leads a team, his subordinates will organize themselves into a team, which is equivalent to indirectly having many more subordinates, and there will be room for spiritual connection.
Previously, due to Yuantou's own lack of strength and being just an ordinary member of the Yangtze River dolphin group, he could not defeat those wild leaders and had never formed his own team.
He didn't expect that just a few days after the evolution, he would receive such good news.
Liang Qu was in a good mood.
"eat first."
Yuantou brought such a message, so he had to play with the dog in the morning. His master's plan failed, but he still had to eat breakfast.
"Master, it's time for breakfast."
After letting Awei inject the poison, Liang Qu shouted towards the west wing and ran to the kitchen first.
There was steam rising from the white porridge in the wooden barrel, and next to it were a few steamed buns, half of which were made of beef and mushrooms, and half were made of vegetables and mushrooms, as well as a plate of scrambled eggs and a dish of stir-fried green beans with pickles.
Aunt Zhang wiped her hands on her apron and said, "Master, please see if there is anything else you need. I will do it right away."
"No, it's fine."
As a cook, Aunt Zhang naturally had a skill, and her monthly salary was 200 copper coins higher than that of Aunt Li, who washed clothes.
Liang Qu brought a stool and sat down, served a bowl of porridge in front of the old monk, and served himself another bowl. Just as he picked up an egg with chopsticks, an idea suddenly flashed through his mind.
"By the way, I saw some green peppers being sold on the street a few days ago. Auntie, go buy some and cut them into cubes. Then stir-fry them with eggs. They will taste even better."
"Green pepper? Is it the one with the slippery skin and seeds inside?"
"Yeah, that's it."
"I've heard about that, too. It's from the south sea, and there's red ones. They say they're very fragrant when used to cook dishes, but they smell too pungent and are expensive. I'm afraid they won't taste good, so I've never bought any."
"I'll try it next time, Auntie."
"okay."
Liang Qu remembered that the first time he tasted chili peppers was last year when Lin Di from Yulan invited him to dinner at Langyun Tower. At that time, only the restaurant had the corresponding dishes.
I didn't expect to see people selling it on the streets in early summer this year. I guess large-scale cultivation has already started locally.
I'll get some spicy food in a few days and treat everyone to hotpot.
Liang Qu started drooling at the thought of it. It had been a long time since he had tasted hot and spicy fatty beef and mutton rolls. He missed it so much.
There is also fried chicken. It’s not that Dashun doesn’t have fried chicken, Hulu chicken is one of them, but it’s not coated with batter and fried.
Liang Qu suddenly realized that if he opened a restaurant, the business would probably be good. Unfortunately, he didn't have the time to manage it, so he could only prepare some for himself.
Having money is good.
He drank two bowls of porridge, ate five or six big meat buns, and wrapped a basket of them with oil paper.
"Master, take your time eating. I have something else to do. I'll leave first."
"good."
Liang Qu picked up Fu Bo and all the equipment, big and small, and hurried to the big lake.
Not far from the pier, a water stage has been built, and Liu Quanfu and his disciples are busy at work.
Liang Qu rowed the boat and turned around.
"Uncle Fu, have you read the drawings I gave you last time? You are an old carpenter, do you have any questions?"
Liu Quanfu quickly put down the wood and ink line in his hands.
"I've checked it out, there's no problem, I asked my apprentice to choose the wood.
Last time, I was inexperienced and went astray when putting up the planks and installing the dragon ribs. This time, I’ll be able to get started quickly and I guarantee that I’ll be able to finish it for the owner by mid-August.”
After tasting the sweetness of the previous transaction with Toad, he began to prepare for the second transaction.
This time it was not a tower ship, but a warship, which came along with the river port at that time.
Liang Qu made a slight modification on this warship, removing many ugly but useful things and adding some fancy carvings. Practicality is not important, the most important thing is to look good.
Let Liu Quanfu come again, the price is the same.
Of course Liu Quanfu had no problem with it. Not only was the wages doubled, but it looked like there would be three, four, and five more jobs in the future. The pay was stable and high, so he was definitely going to do it.
Liang Qu nodded and rowed the boat alone towards the depths of the swamp.
When they arrived at the location, several animals surfaced one after another. Jiang Xiaotun circled around the boat, very excited.
Seeing this, Liang Qu took out an oil-paper bag from the waterproof compartment and fed it a meat bun.
Jiang Xiaotun picked up the meat bun and swallowed it in one gulp. The fat catfish crouched underneath him stealthily.
"Eh!"
Liang Qu glared at the fat catfish.
The fat catfish swam away angrily.
"fist!"
Fists determine life, a pair of eyes stare at Ah Fei firmly, wherever he goes.
Only after being caught in the rain do you think of holding an umbrella for others.
The fist, which grew up under the shadow of the fat catfish, followed the fat catfish closely.
As a loyal old minister, he could not move and escorted Liang Qu to the bottom of the water.
Following his sense of the round head's position, Liang Qu soon saw a group of wild porpoises resting and playing.
After a quick count, there were thirteen finless porpoises in total.
Nine of them are common finless porpoises, about five meters in size.
There are three cubs, each less than three meters long, active in the center of the group.
And the largest finless porpoise, which is over eight meters long, only slightly shorter than the round-head porpoise, has many scars on its skin, showing its fierce combat record.
There are not as many finless porpoises as there are in Hebo Station.
Liang Qu recalled and found that the number of finless porpoises in the river and lake was generally more than 20, and the larger ones could even control nearly 100 porpoises.
But it's understandable.
The conditions for domesticated animals are much better than those for wild animals. There is no need to worry about food and drink, and there are both meat and plants available.
The cubs were personally cared for by officials. If they died due to improper care, the lightest punishment would be twenty military sticks. If they were unlucky enough to be caught during the twice-a-year inspection, they might even be exiled.
This makes it naturally easier to reproduce and grow on a larger scale.
Fortunately, the Hebo Institute was new and there was no special breeding ground. The little Jiang pig was born on the road and no one knew about it. It was not registered, otherwise it would have been difficult for Yuantou to bring it out.
It might harm others.
Liang Qu called out in his heart.
The round-headed "sentinel dolphin" hiding behind the rocks carefully crossed the group of finless porpoises and joined the main group.
Liang Qu patted Yuantou's back and said, "How is it, do you have the confidence to defeat the leader?"
Roundhead shook his head and beat his chest with his fins, showing that he had full confidence in defeating the scarred porpoise and bringing glory to the gods.
"Okay, come on."
The system of Yangtze River dolphins is not much different from that of wolf packs and lion packs. If you want to lead them, you must defeat the leader in a one-on-one duel.
The existence of the round head is like a lone wolf challenging the wolf king. If it wins, it will naturally become the new king, and if it loses, it will be a stray dog.
This is an internal change among the Yangtze River dolphins, and Liang Qu can't help.
The round-headed fish jumped out of the water grass and swam in front of the group of porpoises in a dignified manner.
The huge size immediately attracted the attention of the sentinel porpoise, which made a cry to alert all the porpoises in the clan.
The Scarred Finless Porpoise King took the lead to stop the Round-headed Porpoise. In comparison, the tribe felt more uneasy.
The round-headed creature is nine meters long, a circle larger than the scarred porpoise king, and it gives off a very oppressive feeling!
