Chapter 160 Digging the River
There is no big river in Dalaranling. The largest river in the north is the Izumo River, which is formed by the large and small streams formed by the melting of snow in the mountainous areas in the northeast of Hongfeng Town.
And this river flows only through the former territory of the Melinna family. Now Lord Gerry's lord goes east along the forest mountains, into the eastern territory of the kingdom, and then into the sea south.
However, deep in the green cape forest north of the moonlight forest, near the western part of the Izumo Mountains, there are still many streams and mountain streams formed by melting snow. However, in the end, they all flowed southeastward and flowed into the Izumo River, and no other large-scale rivers were formed.
So Donald planned to use this as the source to divert out part of it, and manually dig a river in Dalaran to make it convenient for residents of the territory to drink water, and also fish some fish to make up for meat vacancies.
Otherwise, it would be more stressful to eat meat by relying solely on animal husbandry in the territory.
I liked the most in the city's Binhu scenic spot residential area in my previous life, but unfortunately I couldn't afford the kind of house in a high-end community. In this life, I became a lord and had a certain strength. I would do whatever I had to do with my own territory. In the future, I would have to dig artificial lakes and build a water park.
Just as he was eating, Catherine suddenly pointed to the stream beside him and shouted, "Donald, look there! It seems like there are fish!"
Donald had a sharp sense, but in fact he noticed the movements in the stream beside him. However, the food they prepared was very good, so he didn't care.
At this time, when he heard Catherine mention it, he looked into the water casually, and was surprised when he saw it!
"It turned out to be an ice fish! Catherine, we have a good time today!"
The northern half of this world continent is similar to Donald's Asian continent in his previous life. Both are high in the west and low in the east, so the two rivers in his previous life both originated from the west and flowed into the sea in the east.
However, this refers to the entire northern continent, including the northwest wasteland, the snowy mountains and the frozen highlands. In terms of the northern part where Celte is located, the terrain is somewhat different due to changes many years ago.
The situation here is high in the north and low in the south. A large river also originates from the Izumo Mountains in the north and even the Daxue Mountains in the frozen highlands. Then it flows southward through the plains in the central part, and finally turns southeastward and merges into the sea at the port of Layton, the capital of the East County.
This situation caused the lack of large water veins in the northern county, and there were not many lakes, only a few thin streams, and finally they all flowed into the Yunhe River and headed towards the eastern part of the kingdom.
Therefore, North County rarely produces fish food, and the only famous one is that a kind of ice fish is produced in a small river near Lord Gerry.
It turned out to be the territory of the Meliner family. Donald naturally knows this ice fish. The ice fish is produced in the cold waters. Its flesh is fine, its similar and almost transparent. The name of the ice fish comes from this. Apart from a single fish bone, there are almost no other fish bones on this fish. After countless years of evolution, its physique has adapted to the cold water quality of the Beijun Mountains. It has a lot of protein and low fat. In Donald's words, it is high in protein and low in fat, rich in a variety of nutrients. Its natural deliciousness is almost no seasoning, but a delicacy.
However, the most delicious thing is not the ice fish itself, but the fish roe produced in its belly.
Every spring, ice fish will swim to the upper mountain streams located in Izumo Mountain and are transformed by snow. The cold stream water with clear water and ice is a necessary place for ice fish eggs to survive. Only the ice roe caught in the days before the ice fish spawn is the most delicious.
After simply marinating with salt, put a spoonful of fish roe into your mouth. The delicious taste of the plump and smooth, fresh, sweet and fishy fish roe bursting out in your mouth is simply the supreme delicacy that only true gods can enjoy.
Since the number of ice fish is small, the fish roe produced is even less sparse, and it must be caught in the cold and dangerous Izumo Mountains in early spring. Therefore, caviar made from ice fish roe has always been the best ingredient on the dining tables of the nobles of the Kingdom.
A piece of caviar is priced at ten times the price of gold, and it is often in short supply.
In addition, although caviar is marinated, it can only be stored for just one week, and it will rot and deteriorate after the period. Therefore, even His Majesty of the King of Celte can only taste its beautiful beef every spring.
The sight of ice fish appeared in the mountain spring stream that Donald was preparing to divert water, which surprised him greatly.
"Great, this is a big discovery. Catherine, you are really my lucky star!"
I was unexpectedly found here. This was not just a simple delicacy for Donald, but a rare industry that can earn tens of thousands of dollars a day. If the ice fish industry can be developed, then after the Moonlight Wine and Black Tea industry, the third largest industry will appear in the territory. In less than ten years, Silver Moonland will become a richer territory than the kingdom.
"I didn't expect that ice fish are produced here. I thought they were all breeding in the mountains and waters in the east!" Catherine said in surprise: "Is this ice fish? I didn't expect that it was so beautiful, like crystal. I was lucky enough to eat ice fish roe in the capital. The taste was really intoxicating. I haven't tasted the fresh ice fish yet! These are worth thousands of gold Thor. Donald, just grab two of them. The rest will definitely make Dalaran famous. 1" Donald smiled and said, "I already have a plan in my mind... As long as you succeed, you can eat as much as you want."
"Really?"
"You're waiting to see!"
As soon as he saw the ice fish, he thought about how rich the ice fish roe that Kod had been talking about in his ears at this time. A hundred years ago, the Merlina family developed it with ice fish roe, and records of the growth environment and fishing skills of the ice fish are still kept.
So an idea immediately arose in his mind, that is, to artificially build a river, and then make ice fish produce in his territory, and to retake the industries belonging to their family.
If you think of it, and if you dig a river channel, you don’t have to mobilize the crowds of people. With the help of spells and summoning creatures, it’s only a matter of time for him to have a river channel that only a few dozen miles away.
After enjoying a portion of the burial ice fish and ice roe, Donald immediately started his action.
He flew over the sky, released three owls and flew southward, and flew to the territory, roughly observing the terrain between them, and then chose a suitable route, taking Catherine back to the airship, and flying all the way to the territory.
Every few miles along the way, he left a guard guard as a mark. When he arrived at a deserted grassland between the Moonlight Woodland and the Musée Forest, he immediately summoned a tall giant with a height of thirty feet tall and a rock-like skin coming out.
This permanent summoning was the first time that Donald summoned a high-level army up to level 6, which consumed his 2,500 units of spiritual power. It was the mountain giant, the strongest arm of the land war of the elves.
Donald took out the thick trunks that had been used as wood from the space and placed them on the ground, and then said, "Giant, dig a hole here, and then play along the mark until before the mountain stream!" Hearing Donald's order, the Mountain Giant immediately reached out to pick up the tree trunk. The trunk that was more than ten feet long was like a short stick in his hand, but Donald really didn't have a weapon suitable for the mountain giant, so he could only put it in a moment.
Although the mountain giant looks clumsy and the trunks of his hands and feet are not sharp, under its powerful force, with just exerting force, the trunks are deeply penetrated into the soil, and a digging of a diagonal pit several feet deep and more than ten steps long was dug out on the spot.
Seeing a huge monster like the mountain giant appear, Catherine was very shocked. Donald beside her had already explained: "Don't be afraid, this is a mountain giant, which belongs to a kind natural race. She likes to be close to races like elves and nature and will not easily hurt other lives! Don't look at him as big as a big person, she is actually very honest and honest!" After Donald's explanation, Catherine breathed a sigh of relief, but instead smiled at the giant.
"Donald, are you?"
"Haha! I was thinking before that there was a lack of water in our territory, and now I have discovered an unexpected surprise like ice fish. Then creating a water source is an imperative thing!" Catherine asked in surprise: "Are you planning to dig a river?"
Donald smiled confidently and said, "It's not just a river, you're waiting to see it! In a few days, I'll surely surprise you!"
Then the mountain giants dug one after another, and soon a large pond appeared in front of the two of them. Donald suddenly remembered that the war puppet he summoned last time was still in the space, so he released it and helped the mountain giant dig the pit factory according to Donald's order. In half a day, two giants dug out a small artificial lake. However, Donald thought the area was not large enough, so he cast a few spells and exploded several large holes. Then he worked for an afternoon, and a large artificial lake pit of about a few hectares was completed.
The shape of this artificial lake is like a crescent moon. Donald used part of the excavated soil to accumulate an artificial lake center island with a large area. Several magic spells were used at the bottom to stabilize the foundation, and the soil on it was also compacted by the mountain giant with his heavy body.
Donald pointed to the still bare island in the middle of the lake and said to Catherine: "This is the place to prepare for the construction of a water park and a lakeside resort manor for the future."
When Catherine thought of the future scene of a beautiful manor in the water, she couldn't help but have a lot of fantasies in her heart. She excitedly talked about some architectural styles she had seen elsewhere. Before she married the queen to Celte, she and her family had visited many places in the north and south of the mainland, and had also seen many beautiful aristocratic manors.
Donald took a look at it and temporarily selected several of the layout plans. The others will have to be further improved by inviting designers.
The mountain giants and war puppets were ordered to continue digging along the mark north. I believe that in a few days, you should be able to dig the mountain where the mountain is located, and then you can attract water at any time to form a river channel.
After doing all this, the two of them returned to the lord's mansion excitedly. Donald immediately issued an order to William, who was responsible for arranging the construction of the Lake Island Manor.
