However, the quantity was limited, and Zhao An himself was unable to offer any gifts. Thus, they could only look longingly at the boxes, unable to enjoy them. Now that there was a chance to obtain such treasures, how could they not be tempted? Moreover, there were as many as a hundred sets! It was simply unbelievable! Did the warehouse of Zhao Family Village really hold that many?
Zhu Ji and Xiahou Xing's faces immediately lit up with unmistakable joy. How could they feign modesty in the face of such treasures? If Xian Chang were to take back the gifts due to their polite refusals, it would be a great loss.
So the two of them expressed their gratitude in succession: "Thank you, Xian Zhang Da Ren! Thank you, Xian Zhang Da Ren!"
Yun Yi waved his hand lightly. "No problem. By the way, how did you suddenly come to Zhao Family Village?"
Zhu Ji quickly replied, "Zhao Feng has completed the waterwheel he made for us, so we brought him back. Following your instructions, we also brought the bones along. Five tons."
Upon hearing this number, Yun Yi's eyes brightened. Five tons of bones? That was substantial. The bones could be processed into Bone Meal, which accelerated plant growth. However, it would take about fifty kilograms to produce one unit of Bone Meal. Five tons of bones could yield five hundred thousand units, equivalent to one hundred portions of Bone Meal.
If used in an ordinary Wheat Field, this hundred portions of flour was indeed not much, especially for wheat and radishes. It was expected to only enhance the growth rate of a small area of about over two thousand square meters. Given the current population needs of Zhao Family Village...
This is merely a drop in the bucket. However, that does not mean that Bone Meal lacks value. On one hand, when faced with an urgent situation that requires immediate resolution, Bone Meal can be put to use right away. In a true crisis, even crops from the Wheat Field that take only three or four days to mature cannot afford to wait that long.
Additionally, Bone Meal has a remarkable effect on the growth of mushrooms. Just a small amount can spur a mushroom the size of a fist into a Super Giant Mushroom the size of a small room. One such mushroom can provide enough sustenance for dozens or even hundreds of people. Of course, the nutritional value of mushrooms is far inferior to that of actual food; they are merely used as a side dish. Yet, having an additional option on the menu increases the diversity of meals for the people of Zhao Family Village.
"Isn't it made from human bones?" Zhu Ji hurriedly shook his head in denial. "No, it's not."
"Then you all can handle it," Yun Yi said approvingly. Upon hearing this praise, both Zhu Ji and Xiahou Xing felt an overwhelming excitement within them, their smiles beyond words.
The group continued onward, passing through the fields. The rammed earth walls of Zhao Family Village came into view. At this moment, Zhao Anqi eagerly stepped forward to ask, "Xian Zhang Da Ren, are there dogs following behind us?"
With Zhao An's question, those around them perked up their ears to listen.
The history of humans domesticating dogs is incredibly long. It dates back thousands of years to prehistoric times when people began attempting to tame wild wolves. As time passed, these domesticated animals gradually became humanity's most loyal companions.
Although Zhao Family Village also raised some dogs, their numbers were extremely limited. In a year of famine, food shortages meant that even human rations had to be carefully planned, leaving no room for extra pets. It was necessary to keep a small number of dogs for guarding purposes. Noticing the curiosity of the crowd, Yun Yi explained, "That's right, these are all dogs."
