Chapter 197 Making a Stone Hoe (2)

Si Ye observed the strangely shaped tool in his hand, feeling a bit lost for words. "Xia Xia... what do you think this is? I can dig the soil directly. You tell me how to do it. You can just go and rest first."

It was the first time he saw this tool. He had only heard that it was used to turn the soil, so he thought it was unnecessary.

Besides, what’s the use of something that can be broken with one hand?

But Xia Tian put a lot of energy into doing this. He didn't dare to say what he really thought in his heart, he just wanted to finish this thing as soon as possible.

Moreover, he had seen tribes that grew their own food, and most of them were very tired, and the yield was very low. The herbivorous orcs went out early and came back late, working in the fields all the time, but they did not get much harvest every year.

It's a thankless job, which is why he has always been somewhat opposed to Xia Tian.

But the girl seemed to be very devoted to this matter, and she always had some knowledge that he didn't know. Maybe she could really bring about a miracle.

"I know that if you turn into a beast, it would be convenient to use your claws directly. But this tool is more labor-saving and more convenient. Why don't you try it first to see how it feels?" Sensing Si Ye's emotional resistance, Xia Tian clasped her hands together and looked at him with a pleading expression.

After the stone hoe was completed, the system did not report that the task was completed, so in addition to this task not being on the system's list, it may also be because this kind of tool needs to be used before it can be certified.

She didn't really intend to rely on Si Ye as the main labor force for planting. In the future, he would be responsible for hunting and she would be responsible for the fields, but at this moment she needed him to use this tool.

There was a spring in the girl's dark and clear eyes, and her eyes were wet... Si Ye didn't know whether others could withstand it, but he definitely couldn't!

"...Okay." Si Ye agreed reluctantly.

This helpless feeling...is it really a sweet burden?

The audience who watched the live broadcast in its entirety have become accustomed to this kind of scene and said they have had enough of the dog food.

[Just indulge me! Just indulge me!!!]

[This is too good, too good. There are so many times when I clearly feel that it is not appropriate, but I still force myself to accept it.]

[I also felt that letting those strangers into the cave earlier had already crossed my line. I didn't expect him to actually agree...]

[I thought it was a script at first, but after seeing this, I believe it. Lao Si really spoils Xia Xia...]

[Xia Xia, I hate that you are a piece of wood!!!]

At this moment, Xia Tian was completely focused on the stone hoe in her hand and the land she was about to renovate, and she didn't notice the howling in the barrage at all.

She had figured out how to renovate the land a few days ago - the ridge method.

Ridge cultivation is a traditional Chinese farming method that turns the originally flat farmland into ditches and ridges. The high, arched land is a ridge, and the low, sunken land is a ditches, which takes into account both drainage and composting.

Later, the Daita method was developed.

On the basis of the ridge cultivation method, the position of ridges and furrows is constantly changed every year or every quarter to give the soil fertility enough time to recover. In this way, a small piece of land can be cultivated carefully and a relatively satisfactory harvest can be guaranteed every year.

Before making ridges, you need to turn the ash left over from burning weeds and branches into the soil to loosen the originally compacted soil. Break it up to increase the air contact surface and evenly distribute the nutrients inside.
