Today is a great day for the people of the Qingque tribe.
Because today, after half a year of hard work, rice, a new food for everyone in the Qingque tribe, will finally begin to be planted in the fields.
Han Cheng attaches great importance to rice, because in his impression, rice is an extremely important staple food, and the only thing that can compete with it is wheat.
As for millet, sorghum, corn, soybeans, etc., in his opinion, none of them can be called staple foods. With the two staple foods of rice and wheat, it is okay to eat some occasionally, but it will be a bit boring to eat too much.
People can't eat anymore.
Of course, without fully cultivating rice and encountering wheat, the tribe's staple food could only be millet.
At this time, the morning sun has risen for more than a pole. Except for some people in the Qingque tribe where Jinguan City is located, the rest of them are staying at the edge of a paddy field opened by them, watching intently.
Their son of God had excitement and expectation on his face.
At this time, Han Cheng also became extremely solemn.
He rolled up his trousers to just above his knees, and also rolled up the sleeves on both arms.
After making such preparations, he, barefoot, picked up the rafter head lying beside him and got down to the ground.
Inside the rafter head are neatly arranged seedlings.
This is the first time for the Qingque tribe to artificially plant rice. Except for Han Cheng, who has seen some rice planting scenes, everyone else is extremely unfamiliar with this.
Therefore, Han Cheng, who was not even considered an apprentice in later generations, magically became the master of the banker.
The weather was still a little cold at this time, and the sun was shining warmly on my body, but I couldn't go into the water. When I went into the paddy fields with my bare feet, I could immediately feel a chill coming from my feet and legs.
The rapid speed spread throughout the body.
However, this kind of cold is not the kind of biting cold. Although it is not uncomfortable, it is still within the range that people can bear.
Han Cheng didn't complain, because he knew that this was something he had to go through if he wanted the autumn harvest.
Having lived in two lifetimes, he no longer had the illusions he had when he was a child. He knew that if he wanted to get something in this world, he had to give something.
There were a few small swimming fish that swung their tails after he entered the paddy field and ran away quickly against the bottom of the water, leaving behind some small muddy water.
After standing here and feeling the temperature of the water, he got used to it for a while, and then carefully recalled his not too clear memories of transplanting rice seedlings. Han Chenggong began to work under the watchful eyes of everyone in the Qingque tribe.
He picked up a few seedlings from the vines beside him with his hands, inserted them with their roots downwards into the paddy field that was already soaked with water.
In order not to scatter the seedlings and make it easier to insert them into the field, Han Cheng picked them directly from the roots instead of the upper leaves.
After planting the first handful of seedlings, Han Cheng picked up another handful of seedlings from the top of the rafter and inserted them into the paddy field.
A bunch of seedlings can contain anywhere from three to five plants.
But this time compared with the previous one, Han Cheng seemed more hesitant.
This is mainly because he is not sure about the distance between two bunches of seedlings among his colleagues.
After hesitating for a while, Han Cheng inserted the bunch of seedlings in, with a distance of about fifteen centimeters between them.
After inserting this row four times, and it was difficult to insert the rice seedlings because the arms were not long enough, Han Cheng stopped and inserted another row from his feet.
After a brief thought, Han Cheng set the distance between the new row and the previous row to be thirty centimeters.
Of course, this is just a rough estimate. In the process of transplanting rice seedlings, no one will hold a ruler to compare. It is not a big problem if the distance is wider or narrower.
The length of Han Cheng's arms is within the range of normal human beings. He is not a genius like Liu Huangshu who puts his hands above his knees and looks like he dropped a child on the ground, so he can only insert four lines this time.
As he continued to move and move back, four rows of green seedlings were left in the paddy field in front of him, swaying in the warm spring breeze.
After seeing this, the people of the Qingque tribe who were watching and studying on the side had some enlightenment in their hearts.
It turns out that this is rice transplanting, and rice rice transplanting doesn’t look difficult at all.
Crop work is like this. There is no particularly accurate standard. Generally, you only need to watch others do it a few times and practice it yourself a few times, and you will be able to master it.
"Did you see it? This is rice transplanting, it's very easy. Now everyone disperses, and ten people are responsible for one field to transplant rice.
When transplanting rice seedlings, pay more attention to the spacing. In the same row, the spacing between every two bunches is fifteen centimeters, and the spacing between two adjacent rows is thirty centimeters.
Of course, it does not mean that the transplanting must be perfect, but it means that when transplanting the rice seedlings, try to follow this standard as much as possible..."
After Han Cheng walked about ten meters away, he straightened up and smiled and said to the people standing on the edge of the field watching.
Everyone nodded to show that they were taught, and then followed Han Cheng's instructions, taking the seedlings that had been pulled out before and dispersed, and a group of ten people entered a tidy rice field and followed Han Cheng's example here.
Start planting the first rice seedlings.
At the beginning, everyone felt very unfamiliar with this matter, but after doing it for a while, they no longer felt unfamiliar.
Don't be too cheerful as you hold the seedlings one by one and plant them.
As everyone worked non-stop, greenery began to appear in the empty fields.
In the evening, people who had sore backs and backaches came out of the paddy fields and stood on the ridges of the rice fields. Looking at the rice seedlings floating slightly in the evening breeze in the originally bare paddy fields, they only felt that
All the fatigue disappeared instantly.
This kind of scenery is not very beautiful. It is not as beautiful as the gorgeous mountain flowers, not as gorgeous as the sunset, and not as touching as the scene where the female primitives in the tribe wearing leather skirts accidentally exposed themselves when climbing up the tree. But for some reason, everyone stood there.
Here, I can't get enough of this scenery.
That kind of contentment and expectation cannot be experienced when looking at other scenery.
After standing here for a while and looking at the fruits of the day's work, the sky became darker and darker.
Everyone washed the mud off their legs and feet at the edge of the ditch, and walked towards the inner courtyard of Jinguan City with their tools, where the smoke was rising.
The moon, which had already come out in the afternoon, became brighter and brighter, shining on people and leaving a shadow on the ground.
The people were walking along the field ridges in the moonlight, which felt like they were returning from hoeing with moonlight.
The moonlight is like water, and the night is vast. Behind you are the rice fields where the rice seedlings have not been planted. In front is the inner courtyard with orange firelight. The fragrance of the food is drifting in the night with the breeze. There are dogs howling. Occasionally in the middle
There will be one or two sounds of deer braying and donkey braying...
Han Cheng, who was standing in the paddy field, straightened up and took a temporary rest.
Standing here for a short rest, he involuntarily turned his head in one direction, which was the direction in which the older primitive women came and left.
It has been some time since the older primitive women left. Judging from the past, counting the time, it is almost time for these people to come again.
Han Cheng always had great expectations for the older primitive women to come.
This is not only because the older primitive women will bring a lot of food, but also because they may bring news about the unknown tribe.
Although so far, they have not brought much news about that tribe.
Han Cheng still had great expectations for that unknown tribe.
Not only because that tribe had the three major items of bronze, pottery, and salt, but more importantly, Han Cheng learned from the mouths of the older female primitives that the unknown tribe also had some very large ones.
prey.
On the way to carry things for exchange, they would tie part of the goods and the exchanged food to the bodies of the large prey and let them carry them.
After learning the news, Han Cheng was extremely excited.
He asked Mao to take the older primitive women to see the donkeys and deer, and then asked Mao to question them.
They said that the prey led by the unknown tribe was not the two types, and was much larger than the two types.
In addition to these, no more information can be obtained from the older primitive women.
But this was enough for Han Cheng, enough to attract his attention and full of expectations for that unknown tribe and such a big prey.
In his impression, there are not too many large animals that can be domesticated by humans and put into production and life on a large scale.
Nothing more than elephants, cows, horses, donkeys, camels, etc.
From the older primitive women, he learned that the big animal was not a donkey, nor was it an elephant with a long trunk, and it did not have one or two high bulges on its back.
After eliminating these, there were not many options left. This was undoubtedly excellent news for Han Cheng, who had always wanted to obtain large livestock.
If things don't go too far wrong, the large livestock owned by the unknown tribe will most likely fall on cows and horses.
Of course, it does not rule out that in such prehistoric times, there will be species that have never been seen by later generations.
But even if they were species that had never been seen before, since they were so big and could be domesticated, Han Cheng still dared to let them pull plows and cultivate the land for the tribe.
Thinking about these things in my mind, I stood there and looked in the direction where the older primitive women and others were coming for a while, but there was no sign of anyone coming there.
Han Cheng had no choice but to suppress his impatience and disappointment, and continued to bend down to pick up some seedlings and insert them into the paddy fields.
It’s okay to have expectations for some things, but you should also try your best to do the things in front of you well.
Otherwise, if you can't wait for the thing you're looking forward to, and everything else turns into a mess, that's really bad...
“#￥4@3……”
The older primitive woman spoke aloud and put down the burden she was carrying.
The people in their tribe were very happy to see them coming back with so much food again.
However, after seeing the hunchbacked primitives returning with the older female primitives, some people became a little wary, especially the leader of the tribe where the female primitives belonged.
After all, in the past, it was the hunchbacked primitive people who were doing these things. By doing these things now, our tribe is robbing a lot of food that should originally belong to the hunchbacked primitive people and their tribe.
In this era, food is equivalent to money that everyone in future generations will strive for.
Fortunately, the hunchbacked primitive people did not show any malice. On the contrary, they still smiled at them as before, which made the leader of the tribe of the older female primitive people feel relieved.
After some conversation, the older primitive women also told the leader of their tribe about the same thing.
After understanding that these people were not here to cause trouble for their tribe, but to find the mysterious Qingque tribe, the leader of their tribe was completely relieved.
“#@￥4@……”
After the older female primitives put down their food and other things, the hunchbacked primitive who couldn't wait to go to the mysterious tribe couldn't help but speak aloud and make some movements, which meant that he wanted to go to the mysterious tribe.
The older primitive women can take them there earlier.
After understanding the meaning of the hunchbacked primitive man, the older female primitive man shook her head vigorously.
Seeing such a scene, the hunchbacked primitive man was filled with surprise.
Didn't you already agree on this on the way back? Why did you change your mind after returning to the tribe?
Why don't you take yourself and others with you?
How can a woman be so fickle?
The hunchbacked primitive man was smart. From this unexpected move of the older female primitive man, he quickly understood what the other party meant.
He looked at the food carried by his tribe, hesitated for a moment, then brought two packages and placed them in front of the older female primitives, saying that as long as the older female primitives took them to the mysterious tribe, these
The food was given to the older primitive women.
However, he soon discovered that he was wrong, because after he conveyed this meaning, the older female primitive woman who had become a fickle woman in his eyes did not ask for the food he sent, but asked for it again.
He shook his head once.
Although he saw that this woman did want some of the food.
This kind of thing left the hunchbacked primitive man confused as to what this woman wanted to do.
“@#4SD……”
In his confusion, the older primitive woman spoke.
