Chapter 434 Waiting for the donkey

The original third leader of the Soaring Snake Tribe, who had just returned from the Grassroots Tribe not long ago, and now the second leader of the Soaring Snake Tribe, set out again with a group of people.

Also accompanying me was Cao Gen, a man with a crooked nose.

Their destination was the cave where they once lived.

They will live in the cave for a while.

On the one hand, you can go to another place not too far from the cave where the grass roots originally lived to collect and dig the grass that the one-horned monsters that are increasingly valued by them like to eat.

On the other hand, you can also collect fruits and hunt prey there.

Of course, in addition to this, there is another most important purpose, which is to wait for the dark tribe to come over again with precious pottery and delicious salt for exchange...

The witch from the Soaring Snake Tribe was there, gently stroking the face of the big one-horned monster with his hand, while watching the second leader of the Soaring Snake Tribe lead everyone away.

His mood was so good that he almost wanted to raise his head and scream a few times to vent his happy impulse...

The leader of the Donkey Tribe led the Green Tribe people on their backs, carrying pottery, salt and some food exchanged from the Qingque Tribe, and walked on the road leading to his tribe.

He was also in an extremely happy mood, especially after feeling the heavy weight on his shoulders, he felt even more beautiful.

These heavy things can be exchanged for a lot of things from other tribes over time!

However, the leader of the Donkey Tribe was not ready to trade with other tribes immediately after returning.

Because now is the season when fruits are ripe in large quantities, it is extremely easy to obtain food.

He took the people of the tribe and made trades between the tribes in order to obtain sufficient food.

Since you don't have to travel back and forth to trade now and you can get enough food, naturally you won't have to go back and forth to trade in danger.

He wanted to spend the time doing transactions when the ice and snow were about to melt, just like last time, so that he could easily exchange for more furs and other things from other tribes...

Compared with the complacency of the Soaring Snake tribe and the contentment of the Donkey tribe, life of the Green tribe is much more difficult.

It's not because the food is not easy to pick at this time, but because ever since the Qingque Tribe announced that it would no longer be free, the salt that they both love and hate has been hanging over their heads.

There was not much salt left in exchange for it from the kind-hearted Qingque tribe last time. Even though the leader of the Green tribe had eaten very carefully and frugally, he still couldn't stop the number of salt-eaters in the tribe.

The green tribe leader looked a little irritated and scratched his hair. Green grass leaves fell from his head, and with them, some hair...

At this time, the house prepared by the Qingque Tribe for the Green Tribe has already been installed with wooden beams. All that is left to do is to fix the roof, and then everything will be fine.

At the same time, the rapeseed in the field was also planted.

There are a lot of them, reaching a hundred acres!

Fifty acres of it were sown with a columbine, and the other fifty acres were sown by hand.

Those sown by columbine are mainly for harvesting and saving seeds, and those sown by hand are mainly for digging and eating vegetables.

Because the uses are different, the sowing methods used are also different.

After all, if you sow seeds, the number of rapeseed plants in the same area of ​​land can be at least three or four times greater than that of columbine sowing.

The rapeseed grown in this way is most suitable for digging and eating.

When pulling vegetables, pick the largest ones first. After the big ones are pulled out, the smaller ones will have space to grow. In this way, if you pull them out in batches, you can eat them for a long time.

The reason why they plant so much at once is because considering that the Qingque tribe has a large population and the amount of food they raise is also increasing, the consumption of rapeseed will become even more.

As for whether there will be enough land to grow millet next year, don't worry.

First, after the rapeseed was planted, Han Chenggong then arranged manpower to continue to open up wasteland.

Secondly, after these rapes are harvested, they can be planted with the next crop of late millet for rotation.

After planting for two years, the fertility of the land has declined, so it is left fallow for half a year or a year to restore the soil fertility.

The Chinese cabbage and high-quality rapeseed that Han Cheng carefully cultivated were also planted, and he did this himself.

After several years of continuous seed selection and cultivation, some results have been achieved.

But there is still a long, long way to go before we can be like the common Chinese cabbage of later generations.

But this was enough to make Han Cheng happy.

Since an old man over the age of 60 can cultivate white marigolds from scratch year after year, then I, a person who has just become an adult in primitive times and is far from adulthood in later generations, use

Why can’t we cultivate Chinese cabbage using the same method?

Such complacency immediately diminished a lot when his eyes glanced at the five dogs.

More than a month has passed now, and Xiaofu has not returned yet. It seems that he will never come back...

Although Han Cheng felt regretful about this result, he was no longer anxious at the beginning. He just felt a little regretful when he thought about it.

After all, 'He who is heaven and earth, the reverse journey of all things, time, the passerby of generations...'

"Bang dong, bang dong..."

Not far in front of the cave, Zhuang was holding a smooth wooden stick with a thin top and a thick bottom in his hand, and he was pounding it hard into the stone pit below.

This work is so tiring that even the strongest man is exhausted and sweats all over.

After pounding it for a few more times, he bent down and looked at the millet placed in the stone mortar. Many of them had already had their shells broken off, so he stopped and handed the stick to another primitive woman, who squatted down.

Lifting his tired and aching arms, he put all the millet in the stone mortar into the dustpan placed aside, and walked to the side to clean it.

The dustpan rose and fell again, and the chaff flew out and fell to the ground. What was left in the dustpan was round and yellow millet.

These chaff cannot be wasted. Although it cannot be used to make fire, it is very good to mix it with grass to feed pigs or to pad deer pens.

When Zhuang was cleaning up the millet, the original female took over Zhuang's job.

She scooped up some millet from the dustpan placed next to her, put it into the stone mortar, and then started pounding the rice step by step.

Although the frequency is not fast, it doesn't take long before sweat appears on the forehead.

Dried millet rice and millet porridge are indeed extremely delicious, but they are too troublesome and tiring...
