The Qingque Lord Tribe harvests millet here. As long as it doesn't rain, once the sickle starts to be used, it basically won't stop.
When sowing, the millet in the tribe is planted in batches.
When harvesting, it is natural to harvest in batches.
It's just that when the millet is ripe, it matures faster. Although the millet planted later matures later, the time gap is actually smaller than the time gap between the two batches of millet at the time of planting.
.
It is also because of this that the people in the tribe cannot stop when harvesting.
The first batch of millet has just been harvested, and the second batch is already ready for harvest.
Moreover, in addition to flat areas, millet in the tribe is also planted on slopes with gentler undulations and less steep slopes.
Because there is no water or moisture on slopes, millet grown on slopes generally matures earlier than millet grown on flat land.
Planting on slopes is the result of Han Cheng's insistence.
This is of course not because Han Cheng is short of land, or because there is not enough flat land around the Qingque Lord tribe.
Mainly because of the characteristic that sloping land does not store water.
When the weather is good, the grain yield on sloping land is naturally inferior to that on flat land.
However, in years with lots of rain, the yield of slopes with smooth drainage can often exceed that of lowlands and many flat lands with poor drainage.
This is why Han Cheng insisted that the upper tribe people plant on slopes, flat lands, and some depressions.
It is impossible to have smooth weather all the time.
Droughts and floods are common occurrences.
With the existence of these slopes and depressions, no matter what kind of bad weather occurs, the tribe will not lose its harvest.
This can be regarded as a way to avoid risks and spread risks.
This is also the main reason why plain areas are more severely affected than hilly areas under the same climate conditions.
On the Qingque tribe's wheat field, stacks of straw have been piled up.
These straw stacks are either round or elongated.
The circular haystacks can be stacked more than three meters high, and the maximum diameter near the center can exceed seven meters!
There is a top on the top, and things like millet chaff are fastened on the top with wooden forks.
These things are very waterproof.
Especially those old straw stacks that have been stored for a year and have become very solid. Even if it rains continuously for a month, only the top layer will be wet.
The rest of the place is dry.
As for the long-shaped wharf, the principle is actually similar to that of the circular haystack.
They are smaller and narrower at the bottom, and become wider and wider as they go up.
After it reaches a certain height, it will start to shrink toward the middle and form an upward convex top.
Because of its shape, the roof of this long stack actually looks similar to the tile-roofed house in the tribe.
However, it lacks the edges and corners of a tiled house and has a lot more roundness.
There is a reason for the shape of a haystack, which is smaller at the bottom and gets bigger as you go up.
On the one hand, this shape allows more straw to be accumulated within a limited floor space.
On the other hand, this shape can effectively shield the rainwater, so that the water flowing down from the top of the haystack will drip around the haystack, instead of flowing down the haystack and damaging the lower part of the haystack.
Let it get wet.
Stacking straw stacks is a technical job.
Generally, after the straw piles are piled up to a certain height, someone needs to go up with wooden forks to 'stacking' them.
That means using your own weight to trample the originally loose straw until it becomes more solid, and at the same time using a wooden fork to spread the straw scooped up by others evenly.
Things like stacking straw are usually done by multiple people.
It takes several people to shovel straw onto the haystack with wooden forks, and one person to stand on it and stack it.
In fact, it's almost like loading a car.
Among them, Panduo people need people with skills and vision.
Only in this way will the stacked haystacks become beautiful in the end, and they will not be crooked, nor will water leakage occur because the top of the haystack is not fixed properly.
These haystacks are valuable things.
Of course, this is under the premise that the tribe raises a large number of livestock.
If it were not used as fodder for the tribe's cattle, sheep, donkeys and deer, the people in the tribe would not attach such importance to these straws.
The busy harvest has been going on, and everyone is involved in this busy and enthusiastic harvest.
Among the large number of people who followed Han Cheng back from the south, many were from the Red Tiger Tribe, and a few were from the Nest Tribe. Others were made with the help of the evil created by the Red Tiger Tribe.
The people took the opportunity to close their hands.
These people had not had much contact with these things before. Even though they had been in the main Qingque tribe for a certain period of time, they still couldn't bear to see the huge scene of harvesting crops in the Qingque tribe.
His face was full of surprise.
Before coming to the Qingque Lord Tribe, some of these people were still a little proud in their hearts.
These people are all people with some abilities.
For example, some people are good at feeding cattle, some are good at harvesting food, or they are better at hunting.
But after arriving at the main tribe, they were dazzled by the wide variety of tools and all kinds of work they had never seen before.
They were also amazed by the sophistication of the things made with such tools and movements.
When they saw this, they were greatly shocked.
The pride in my heart also disappeared.
It turns out that the things they were proud of before were nothing here in the Qingque Tribe.
After being deeply hit, these people were attracted and impressed by the broad and profound Qingque Tribe, and began to devote themselves wholeheartedly to the construction of the Qingque Tribe.
Work hard to learn all kinds of things that you have never been exposed to before, learn techniques that you have never been exposed to, and work hard for the construction of the Qingque tribe.
The more they study, the more they feel that the Qingque tribe is rich and profound, far beyond the tribes they have lived in before.
And gradually I feel proud that I can become a Qingque person...
Sweat continued to flow down, but everyone's faces were full of smiles.
With such busyness, they are willing to become more busy.
In this way, the tribe can get more food!
People in the tribe have an extreme obsession with food.
No matter how much it is, it is never too much for them.
This is the same reason that people in later generations do not dislike having too much money in their hands.
However, not all people are so busy. Except for some people who feed or herd livestock, there are also some special people who are not involved in this matter.
These people are some of the carpenters headed by Lame.
These people need to repair the farm tools that were damaged during this period.
At the same time, Lai and others are busy with more important things.
This thing is to research and make sailing boats.
With the development now, the manpower in the tribe is relatively sufficient.
At least after Han Cheng brought back a large number of people from Jinguan City in the south, some people could be allocated to do other things when harvesting crops.
After all, there were certain people who did the planting before. These people who came back with Han Cheng did not participate in the planting.
Now he is participating in the harvest.
Between advancing and retreating, manpower is saved.
"Hahaha……"
There was a burst of laughter in the carpenter's room with thick shade of trees.
Lame, an old carpenter who has become very mature, smiles so hard that his teeth cannot be seen.
It's just that his smile is a silent laugh.
The smile on his face was particularly obvious, but no laughter came out.
On the contrary, the other people beside him all smiled extremely happily.
The happy people all looked at each other at this moment.
The thing that attracted everyone's attention was nothing else but a ship.
Boats are not a rare thing in today's Qingque tribe, but boats with masts and sails are rare.
It can even be said that there is none at all.
But now this record has been broken.
In front of Lame and the others, there was a ship with a mast.
This ship is not that big, it is about the same size as those existing ships in the tribe.
But the style is completely different.
The existing boats in the tribe have basically rectangular bottoms.
But the current boat has a rectangular shape in the middle of the bottom and triangular shapes at both ends.
This kind of triangle is not very sharp, but the lines are smoother.
The area at the bottom of the ship is not as large as the area above it. Compared with the areas at the bottom and the upper part, the bottom of the ship occupies about one-fifth of the entire height of the ship, which is smaller.
It shows on the line that this position is sunken toward the middle.
Apart from these, there are many aspects of this vessel that make it different.
For example, most of its cabins are covered with wooden boards and are very flat.
There are square holes left in some places, and you can see a wooden ladder standing there with some heads exposed in the holes.
Of course, what is more eye-catching are the masts erected on the ships here and the sails tied to the masts.
There are three masts, the middle mast is the tallest and strongest, and the front and rear masts are basically the same thickness and length.
There are ropes tied to the three masts at this time.
The ropes are connected to the mast and some specially set aside places on the hull.
There are also sails tied to the mast.
The sail is made of tarpaulin and is white.
Even the people in the tribe, led by a relatively wretched son of God, were quite skilled in binding, but they still spent a lot of effort in tying up these ropes and sails.
After all, the objects they are best at tying up are people, not sails that they have not had much contact with before.
Looking at the small sailboat in front of them, Lai et al. felt particularly comfortable.
Only they themselves know how much effort and effort they have put in to get this thing out during this period of time!
Only they themselves know how hard they have gone through during this period of time.
Now, this small sailboat finally appeared in front of me and others. Seeing the results in front of me, and thinking about what I and others have paid for it in the recent period, it is easy to feel a strong feeling in my heart at this time.
Deep joy and excitement.
Although they have not yet launched into the water to verify the performance of this thing, and although they know that there are still many things that need to be adjusted and changed in the future, looking at the complete sailboat now appearing in front of themselves and others, Lame
I just can't contain the joy in my heart.
"Brush another layer of tung oil on top."
After doing this for a while, he lamely spoke to the people beside him.
Originally, he could no longer contain the joy in his heart and wanted to send people to find the Son of God immediately and tell the Son of God the good news.
But thinking that it was the time when the tribe was busy with farming, and Shenzi was busy in the fields with the others, he forced himself to suppress the impulse in his heart.
After some thinking, he finally issued such an order.
Afterwards, he also began to carefully inspect the small sailboat, striving to make it perfect without leaving any flaws, and to show it in front of the Son of God in its best condition before it was launched into the water.
Try to avoid as much as possible some undesirable conditions that may occur after the boat is launched into the water.
The sunlight moved inch by inch and finally disappeared completely.
The large clouds were dyed red, and everything on the earth seemed to be dyed with some brilliant colors.
In the wilderness around the Qingque Lord tribe, everyone was still busy. After a tiring day, their movements not only did not slow down at this time, but also sped up a lot.
It was as if the non-stop work throughout the day did not make them feel tired, but instead made them more energetic.
Herds of sheep and deer returned from afar, flowing over the harvested fields and heading towards the main tribe.
Fun guys, this is the time when they seem to realize that it is getting dark, and if they don’t eat, there will be no more opportunities, so at this time they all rush to eat green grass, and they are more greedy than at any other time in the day.
The herders seemed to have been accustomed to this characteristic of these animals, and they did not rush them. They just followed slowly and leisurely towards the tribe, letting the animals eat as they walked.
Anyway, that's where the main tribe is, and someone has already started cooking at this time.
No matter how late you wait for someone to return home, there will always be prepared food waiting for you and others, the kind that can satisfy you and others.
As time passed by, those gorgeous clouds completely dissipated, dusk fell, the distance became hazy, and the weather became cooler, the people in the tribe finally called it a day.
At this time, walking on the way home, I could already feel the dew on the grass.
During dinner, Han Cheng, carrying a big old bowl, came to the carpenter's room...
