Chapter 237 Beaver Shipyard
The gaps between the pond stones were full of lush green grass, with curved leaves and raindrops hanging from the tips, falling obliquely.
The drizzle was swaying and falling into the pond, splashing onto the wooden board, leaving small brown dots, which faded away in the river breeze.
The unfinished cabin used the pond stones as its foundation, spreading from the water to the bottom. Two little beavers carried wooden strips in and out, constantly adding bricks and tiles to the cabin.
It was hard to imagine that the entire cabin covering more than ten square meters was built in less than ten days with the joint efforts of the four beaver monsters.
Seeing that it would be completed in two or three days, the chief designer of the entire project, the big beaver, was called out by Liang Qu.
The big beaver sat on the ground with its tail dragging. It stretched out its tongue to lick its paws and used its saliva to comb and smooth out the few raised hairs on its head.
After sorting out the rules, the big beaver walked out of the wooden house and came to the pond to meet the landlord.
Liang Qu looked at the old giant clam by the water and motioned the old giant clam to come forward to communicate for him.
As a monster, the old giant clam seems to be useless, with no advantages except high defense and long life.
But its mental power is really strong, and it can communicate with intelligent monsters at a shallow level through thoughts, which is just the transit station for him to communicate with the beaver.
And Liang Qu is very suspicious that the beaver family was attracted by the old giant clam.
That day, the fat catfish and a group of water beasts came to the pond, and the beaver family was very frightened. The first reaction was to look at the old giant clam.
This is very subtle.
The beaver subconsciously regarded the old giant clam as a person for help.
Perhaps the old giant clam traveled to the Great Lake every day and happened to meet the beaver family who wanted to spend the Binghuo day. He mentioned it and the matter happened so naturally.
It is even possible that the two parties knew each other a long time ago.
Having lived for more than a thousand years and spent most of the time in the Great Lake, it is not impossible to know some safe and harmless monsters.
Otherwise, Liang Qu did not believe that the beaver would just find a garden to settle the whole family without knowing the personality and habits of the owner of the house.
He asked the old giant clam to be responsible for communication, also considering that both of them are water beasts and the degree of mutual trust will be higher.
As the old giant clam kept bubbling, the big beaver kept nodding.
The Beaver Brand Shipyard seemed to be expected to be listed for business.
If it can be listed, it will be no problem for the Beaver family to live there forever.
However, if you want others to work, you can't avoid one thing-remuneration.
You can't work for free to build things for others.
The old giant clam relayed the beaver's request.
Liang Qu asked back: "What do you want?"
People like silver not because silver can be eaten, but because silver can be exchanged for food.
It's okay to give Liu Quanfu silver notes, but the beaver may not like it.
It can't take the silver notes to the bank to exchange for silver, and then take the silver to the market to exchange for what it likes.
That's too difficult for a beaver.
The big beaver stood up straight, waving its two claws up and down, picking up something in the air and chewing it under its mouth.
Then it moved to Liang Qu's feet, held his palm with its claws, helped to make a fist, and held it in front of Liang Qu, with five toes spread out.
It looked back, thought for a while, and then put one toe back and stretched out four toes.
Liang Qu looked at his fist, and then listened to the explanation of the old giant clam next to him and suddenly realized.
"Four metal stones the size of my fist every month?"
The big beaver nodded vigorously.
For a family of four, one stone per beaver per month?
"Gold and silver are not good enough?"
The big beaver shook his head, and his cheeks were trembling.

It picked up a stone from the ground, handed it to its mouth, and chewed it into powder, which fell to the ground one after another, and then bared its mouth, revealing its two orange front teeth.
"Gold and silver are too soft, not enough to chew?"
Liang Qu was thoughtful.
The most important treasure of the beaver family is its teeth.
The reason why the big beaver's teeth are orange-yellow is not that it does not brush its teeth and is not hygienic, but the composition of beaver teeth is very different from that of ordinary animals, and it contains a lot of metal elements!
The elements do not appear out of thin air, they need to be supplemented, and chewing metal ores is the main way.
In addition, the teeth of beavers continue to grow throughout their lives. If they are not polished, they will grow too long and poke their heads.
It is enough for ordinary beavers to chew trees, but it is not enough for monster beavers. They must have some "hard goods".
Chew ore, which belongs to grinding, and ingestion is two-in-one.
Although gold and silver are also metals, they are too soft in texture and are not even as good as ordinary stones.
Liang Qu agreed immediately.
As for metal ores, there are a lot of them in the big lake. Even if they cannot be found in the water in a short time, Senior Brother Lu Gang must have a lot of stocks.
A blacksmith at the level of Langyan Wushi has no shortage of various ores.
It’s just that metal ores are not cheap. Although the efficiency of beavers is high, the construction cost will also double...
But it doesn’t matter.
Efficiency is king.
Go to Liu Quanfu to ask for two drawings some other day and start work on two lines!
It used to take two and a half months to build a ship, but it can be built in one month!
I think it can maximize the benefits while the toad is not too tired.
With Liang Qu’s approval, the beaver twitched its tail, lay on the ground and ran back to the wooden house with all its limbs, telling his wife and children the good news.
From now on, they not only have a monthly supply of ores, but also a safe shelter!
For beavers, building things is a part of life. The only difference is that the things they build need to change shape.
The four beavers rubbed against each other, passing on their joy. The big beaver ran back again, pointed at the cabin, and stomped on the ground with his legs, stretching out his claws to dig the soil left and right to make a hole.
"Want to dig a hole by the pond?"
The beavers originally lived there for only one and a half months, and left after the Binghuo day. Now they want to live there for a long time, and want to dig a hole on the edge of the pond to connect the inside and outside of the house. It's instinct.
Liang Qu looked around and agreed, only asking the beavers not to dig outside the wall.
The purpose of building the pond was to give the old giant clam and the fat catfish a place to go in and out.
For this reason, the entire pond was built very large, with a radius of five feet, fifteen meters, and a diameter of thirty meters. It is roughly slightly oval and covers an area of more than one mu.
Outside the pond, there is a circle of land paved with pebbles, planted with a few shrubs, and then a two-meter-high wall, which is almost equivalent to the area of a three-courtyard house.
The expenses were not big. Liang Qu was already an official at that time. There were no houses around, and the land for expansion was almost half sold and half given to him.
The main force of the pond pit was a few water beasts. It cost a lot of money to build walls and hire craftsmen for paving the ground.
It was really a fairy life.
There was a large garden with a pond, three courtyards, and someone was responsible for eating and washing clothes. It was a real landlord's life.
When he went to his master's house for the first time, he saw almost the same scene, but the scale was more exaggerated.
There were four courtyards, a large courtyard with a pavilion in the middle of the lake, a horse garden, a dog house, an ice cellar, a small martial arts field, and servants came and went.
I was so envious.
Thinking about it carefully, I am really a replica of my master now.
There was Yang Dongxiong in Pingyang Town back then, and now there is Liang Ashui in Yixing Town.
How do others feel when they look at me?
