Chapter 433

Time goes back to when the two minotaurs returned to the Red Grass Tribe.

"You said the flowers grown from these seeds can eat the insects in the fields?"

In the Tauren tribe, Chief Shuul and his partner Berea, as well as Bichi and several respected Tauren were sitting on one side. Opposite them were Blue and Jerry, who had just returned to the tribe and couldn't wait to find the tribe members to discuss important matters.

The one who asked the question was Biqi. He couldn't believe his ears and asked in shock.

It’s not that he doesn’t trust his people, it’s just that the news is too shocking.

Blue nodded solemnly. "Of course. We've been observing the fields for many days. Ever since the young patriarch planted these flowers, there haven't been any insect holes in the seedlings."

"Yes, the orcs of the Heitu tribe don't have to catch insects, which saves a lot of trouble. The crops are also bigger than those in our tribe. There were already many fruits before we left." Jerry's eyes were full of envy and pride.

They envy the Heitu tribe for the good crops they grow, and are proud that their hard work is also the result.

Bi Qi held the seeds in his hand, and felt that the light seeds weighed more than a thousand pounds. Sweat had already seeped out of his forehead, and his fingers could not help but tremble slightly with excitement.

Chief Xiuer gently picked up a seed with his fingers, roughened by years of work, and joy flashed in his eyes. "That young chief really gave us a great gift."

Jerry remembered Yu Sui's instructions before he left, and said, "Oh, by the way, the young patriarch said that before these flowers bloom, they will compete with the crops in the field for fertilizer. If we want to plant these flowers, we need to apply more fertilizer."

"The big-mouthed flowers of the Black Map Tribe are all made to bloom directly by the young patriarch using magic. We probably won't need them this year. If we plant the seeds this year, we won't have to worry about insects next year. We won't have to worry about the damage to the plants caused by spraying too much insect repellent." Blue couldn't help but add with a silly smile.

Yu Sui prepared two large sacks of seeds for them. The Tauren had a lot of fields, which were far less than those of the Heitu tribe.

If it is not enough, the big-mouthed flowers will produce seeds when they wither. Then you just need to collect them and replant them in the ground.

Chief Xiuer couldn't help laughing when he heard this. This young chief had considered them so carefully. His vision at that time was indeed correct.

He sighed and said with emotion: "This ally is really good. They are willing to give us such good things, and they are developing so fast, even faster than I imagined."

Bi Qi was a subordinate he trusted very much and understood his thoughts to some extent, although Chief Xiuer did not say it explicitly.

"It seems that the Red Grass Tribe is not fighting alone. The tribe leader really has a long-term vision."

The other minotaurs also opened their huge mouths and laughed out loud.

Jerry was a little confused and didn't quite understand what his tribesmen meant, but he was too lazy to think about it. He took out two neatly folded pieces of paper from his arms and handed them to Xiuer.

"This was also prepared by the young patriarch. In addition to the big-mouthed flower, we also have other gains. They can dig wells. Instead of drinking water from the river, they can directly use water from the wells to irrigate the fields along the ditches. The young patriarch wrote down the detailed steps for digging wells on it."

Blue also said excitedly: "As for potatoes and ground beans, you don't have to plant the whole seed. Just cut off the sprouted part completely, wrap it in wood ash, and then plant it in the ground. It will grow normally just like planting the whole seed!"

The two pieces of news were more shocking than the other. Xuer and other minotaurs could no longer sit still. Their eyes widened in surprise. Several big bull heads came in front of the two of them, which was extremely oppressive.

"What? You said they could draw water directly from the ground!"

“The ground beans can be cut and planted!”

Under such 'questioning', Blue and Jerry couldn't help but huddle together, "Yes, yes, we saw it with our own eyes."

By the time they left, the potato seedlings had grown very tall, dispelling their doubts.

Xiuer couldn't sit still anymore, and quickly opened the strange thin sheet in his hand. Because it was too thin, he didn't even dare to use force, and unfolded it gently.

A soft substance with a slightly yellowish color unfolded in the hand, and on it were written the specific methods of digging wells and how to cut the ground beans for successful planting.

The methods are written in great detail and you can learn them as long as you can understand the text.

The more he watched, the more excited he became. Xiuer couldn't help but pound the table. "It's a pity that we've already planted this year's potatoes. We must try this method next year! But we can dig a well in the field, so we don't have to bring water from the lake anymore."

If there is little rain that year and the lake level is low, the water diversion canal will have to be re-dug, which is very laborious.

Bereya saw it clearly from the side and nudged her partner. "What are you talking about next year? I'll plant a few seeds outside my house according to the above method in the next few days to see if they can sprout. If they do, it will prove that this method is feasible."

It is definitely too late to plant potatoes at this time, but they can try planting a few in front of their homes. As long as they can sprout, doesn’t it prove that the cut potatoes can also survive?

Biqi stamped his hooves excitedly, his tail wagging behind him, following his master's mood. "Just the survival rate isn't enough. Blue and Jerry, you two still need to go to the Black Map Tribe to help. We'll see how their harvest turns out then."

Chief Xiuer gently closed the item in his hand and exhaled. He sighed with excitement, "This gift is much more valuable than I imagined. I need to think about how to repay the Black Map Tribe..."

While muttering, he unconsciously pinched the object in his hand. Suddenly reacting, he picked up the object in his hand and asked, "What is this? It doesn't look like elven paper, but it's thin enough to write on, and it won't bleed through. It doesn't look like monster skin, but it's a very good writing material."

Blue remembered that the young patriarch seemed to have mentioned it, what was it called...

"It's paper, made by the dwarves of the Black Figure tribe." Jerry said quickly.

"The paper is made by myself. Although the elf paper is easy to use, it is expensive. I wonder how much this paper costs." Xuer looked at the paper in his hand again and again seriously.

The other minotaurs passed it around and looked at it, marveling at it.

Biqi muttered, "They actually made this themselves! How come dwarves from other places can't make paper? Aren't dwarves better at crafting weapons and props? If they could, they wouldn't have to use parchment scrolls to record blueprints. I once helped a dwarf tribe migrate, and they had so many parchment scrolls that they stank."

Xiuer smiled. "This proves how wealthy their family is. I heard that in the human world, there is a place dedicated to parchment scrolls. Only the very wealthy nobles can own them, and each parchment scroll is precious."
