I have a city in another world

Chapter 42 Food Sources for the Residents of Black Rock City!

As soon as he walked into the medicinal material shop, Tang Zhen smelled a very special smell.

He had smelled this smell a few years ago, in a temple full of incense.

I heard that this fragrance comes from a precious spice, which is rare in production, and sometimes a piece of top-quality spice can even be exchanged for a villa!
Taking a deep breath, Tang Zhen felt it carefully. The spice tasted really good.

Turning his head following the smell, Tang Zhen saw a small bone incense burner on a simple stone table, and the smell was wafting out from the incense burner.

Seeing Tang Zhen's gaze fell on the incense burner, a handsome girl in a light green leather coat came over and said to Tang Zhen with a smile: "This is just shipped from our store from Loucheng, Xiangdu thousands of miles away. Spices, sweet and pure, can refresh the mind, and if used for a long time, it is also very helpful for cultivation!"

Compared with the homeless people outside, the girl's face does not show any trace of wind, frost and sorrow, and her clothes are very clean and decent.

Tang Zhen glanced at the girl, then nodded slightly, and asked about the price.

Perhaps it was because of the high output in the other world, the price of this spice was not very expensive, so Tang Zhen took out his brain beads and bought a pack without hesitation.

After putting away the spices, Tang Zhen looked at the other products in the medicine store.

After looking around, Tang Zhen found that there are many types of medicinal materials here, but he hardly knows them. This made his original plan to buy a few century-old ginseng and sell them at a high price back home to fail.

Tang Zhen also discovered that many medicinal materials in the medicinal shop were collected from monsters.

Bone marrow, gallbladder, blood meal, the raw materials of these medicinal materials all come from monsters in the wilderness.

Even in some bottles, the monster's organs were directly soaked. The girl introduced that this is medicinal wine with nourishing effect.

Inside the counter inlaid with glass-like transparent objects, there were all kinds of finished medicines. After Tang Zhen inquired about the efficacy, he bought a few bottles at random and prepared to take them back for experimentation.

Walking out of the medicinal material store, Tang Zhen was thinking about looking for an opportunity to sneak into the building, but inadvertently discovered that dozens of people were driving a group of carriages towards an entrance similar to an underground parking lot.

Tang Zhen's heart moved, he found a hidden location and turned on the quantum invisibility light curtain, then walked over in a leisurely manner.

This underground entrance is very spacious, and there are several monks from Black Rock City guarding the entrance. Tang Zhen tried to keep his movements as light as possible, and walked over quietly.

After Tang Zhen entered, a black rock city monk in charge of guarding looked at the underground passage with some doubts. He seemed to have heard a slight abnormal sound coming from the passage just now.

After confirming that there was nothing abnormal in the passage, the monk turned his head and ignored it.

After Tang Zhen walked nearly a hundred meters along the underground passage, he realized that he was in a huge underground space. Judging from its size, it seemed to be similar to a square on the ground.

Perhaps this underground space is built under the square.

He took a closer look at the surrounding walls of the underground space, and found that the texture was extremely solid, and it really deserved to be a tower city built by the mighty forces of heaven and earth.

This underground space was artificially divided into countless small areas, which were filled with soil after being piled up with stones.

Pour a layer of viscous liquid with a faint odor on the surface of these soils. Tang Zhen took a look and found that every small area was like this.

Tang Zhen was quite curious when he saw this, secretly guessing what would be under the soil?
Taking out an engineering shovel from the space, Tang Zhen went to a dark corner and dug down with the engineering shovel.

After only digging with two shovels, he felt that the engineer's shovel hit something.

Vigorously pushing up the engineer shovel, Tang Zhen saw a ball-shaped object the size of a human head, which was dug out by the engineer shovel.

Tang Zhen carefully moved forward to observe, but found that this thing turned out to be an extra-large 'potato'!
Whether this thing is a potato, even Tang Zhen is not sure, but judging from its shape, it does look like a potato.

It's just that Tang Zhen has never heard of such a large potato.

Tang Zhen dug a few more shovels, and found that there were densely packed things like this under the soil layer.

Tang Zhen reckoned that this thing was the main food for the residents of Loucheng. Looking at the size of the basement and the size of the potatoes, God knows how many tons of potatoes would be produced once harvested!
If this kind of potato can be harvested continuously, the residents who want to come to Loucheng will not have to worry about the source of food.

Tang Zhen used to wonder, what do the residents of Loucheng eat every day if they don't reclaim the land to sow food?
Now he knows that feeling is to eat this kind of giant potato!
He dug out two potatoes and put them in the storage space. He wanted to take them back and try to plant them. If successful, they would definitely fill the stomachs of many people.

However, Tang Zhen guessed that the chance of success in this matter might be very small. If this kind of potato is so easy to cultivate, how could there be so many homeless people in the wilderness?

At this moment, the entire underground space was empty, and those people and carriages could not disappear for no reason, so Tang Zhen guessed that there were other spaces here.

After searching carefully for a while, Tang Zhen found that there was another sloping downward passage in a dark corner.

"Could it be that there is another layer of space under this underground plaza?"

Tang Zhen walked into the passage while thinking.

A few minutes later, another underground space of the same size appeared in front of his eyes. Like the square above, that huge potato was also planted here.

It's just that in this space, there are still a few scattered residents pouring the viscous fertilizer on the soil, but the carriage is still missing.

After observing for a while, Tang Zhen found another entrance extending underground.

Stepping in without hesitation, Tang Zhen wanted to see how many floors of underground space there are in this Black Rock City?
After walking out of the passage this time, Tang Zhen didn't see that kind of spectacular potato planting scene, but saw the "mushrooms" in pieces!
Well, Tang Zhen doesn't know how to describe the scene he saw, but the things in front of him are more than two meters high, more than 50 centimeters in diameter, and the canopy is as big as a parasol. They really look exactly like mushrooms!
These giant mushrooms are clustered next to each other, and there are small mushrooms growing underneath. Except for a three-meter-wide road, there are such huge mushrooms everywhere.

Among these mushrooms, residents of Loucheng were chopping them down and dividing them into small pieces, and putting them into large baskets.

It seems that this kind of mushroom is also one of the foods of Loucheng residents. It can just adjust the monotonous taste of potatoes, or you can have a pot of potato and mushroom soup. It should taste good!
Tang Zhen thought about it, and felt a little hungry.

After shaking his head to get this thought out of his mind, Tang Zhen also dug up a piece of mushroom meat and put it in the storage space.

After passing through the huge mushroom forest, another underground passage appeared.

Tang Zhen was no longer surprised, but walked down again.

Compared with the upper floors, Tang Zhen smelled a stench just after walking into the passageway on this floor, which was very similar to the manure that was poured on mushrooms and big potatoes.

At the same time, there was a sound of conversation and the sound of horseshoes stamping on the ground. It was the carriage team that Tang Zhen had been chasing before.

Tang Zhen, who walked out of the passage, observed intently, and soon he was a little surprised to find that in the underground square on this floor, there were also many pool-like isolation areas built by masonry.

And in these isolated pools, a giant white flesh worm with a length of two meters was slowly wriggling.

They were soaked in the liquid that fertilized the big potatoes, swallowing the feed that the residents of Loucheng scooped up from the buckets of the carriage one after another.

Tang Zhen roughly estimated that the number of meat worms bred in this underground square would be at least several thousand!

Could it be that this fleshy big white worm is the main source of meat for the residents of Loucheng?
