They were fighting over the three rakes, which made Jiang Xue very upset. Finally, she personally selected Dashu, Dawei and Heitu to dig the ground, while the others just watched from the side.
After they had dug nearly half of the way, Jiang Xue directed the others to go down to the ground and pick up the stones, grass roots and branches that they had dug out.
The tools were easy to use and they were strong, so they had dug the ground in just half a day.
Mu Feng asked her curiously, "Axue, what are you going to plant on this land?"
"Rice," Jiang Xue said, "but we can't plant it yet. We need to wait until the sun has been shining for a few days to kill the harmful insect eggs in the soil, and then wait until the weather gets warmer before we can start planting. In the meantime, we also need to level the ground and raise and compact the foundations around it."
Everyone only understood half of what was said, but didn't say much.
After finishing this piece of land, Jiang Xue took them to the field next to it and started picking up stones and branches: "This land needs to be reclaimed too. I plan to plant some corn."
Not only does she grow corn, she also grows ramie.
The tribe now needs a lot of hemp ropes, and the collected ramie is far from enough.
Jiang Xue brought people to the cabbage field again.
The cabbages in the field are almost done. Although this piece of land has been used to grow cabbages once, it cannot be wasted: "We need to plow this field again and dig out all the stones and branches."
When everyone heard that there was still work to do, they rubbed their hands in anticipation and almost got into a fight over a rake.
Jiang Xue was so upset she said, "Alright, stop arguing."
Anyway, I'll exchange some iron hoes in the system first. Otherwise, after the land is almost ready, I'll have to deepen and widen the ditches. If I don't have the right tools, not only will the work be a waste of time, but it will also be very inefficient.
As soon as she finished speaking, she had another hoe in her hand: "Don't grab it, these are all I have now, no more."
Iron tools are ridiculously expensive, costing nine thousand achievement points each!
The achievement points she had saved up with great difficulty during this period of time were returned to the level before liberation overnight.
Jiang Xue looked at the single-digit achievement points on the system panel and almost burst into tears.
Suddenly, she felt something was wrong.
She remembered that she wanted to exchange for tools like a hoe. Wasn't it 12,000 yuan a piece at that time? Why is it cheaper now?
She really couldn't understand the system's exchange mechanism.
Jiang Xue frowned and typed "hoe" into the system interface to check. Oh my goodness, it's only 8,000 now?!
this……
She blinked her eyes. What was going on? Why did the price get lower after she bought one?
But the reaction of the crowd did not allow her to think too much - they started fighting over the only hoe again.
The corner of her mouth twitched, and she took the hoe and handed it to Akagi, who had been grabbing the land the most fiercely: "This piece of land is now yours."
Akagi grinned, took the hoe and showed it off to the tribesmen, then started hoeing the ground.
Jiang Xue shook her head helplessly.
The seeds she had were only corn, early rice, potatoes, winter wheat, etc. Most of these could be used as staple food, but corn and potatoes could be used not only as staple food but also as vegetables.
All in all, there are still too few types of seeds!
We still have to find a way to get more seeds!
But now if she wants to redeem it in the system, it is impossible. The achievement points she has are almost zero. She has to find a way to earn more achievement points!
However, it is spring now, and many plants must have begun to sprout. If you look for them, you should be able to find them.
For example, wild yam, ginger, wild onion, and wild garlic.
The hoe was given to Akagi, and Jiang Xue arranged for other people to pick up the stones and branches dug out from the ground. No matter how you look at it, although there are inevitably stones, branches and other things in the ground, it is better to pick them up as much as possible if you can.
After returning to the tribe, Asongbo showed Jiang Xue the hemp rope as thick as his fingers that he had made.
Jiang Xue's eyebrows curved as she watched: "Yes, this is exactly the kind of rope I want."
Next, she took the rope to the sheep pen, tied the rope around the neck of a ram, and led it out the door.
When the head sheep left the sheep pen, Xiaohua and Aqing each took a bamboo stick and stared at the sheep closely, fearing that they would run around.
Jiang Xue signaled them to relax and led the sheep to the edge of the field.
More than twenty sheep ran out of the sheepfold, passed through the tribe and came to the wilderness. The grass on the wasteland had not grown much yet, but it showed signs of sprouting. As soon as the tender green grass appeared, half of it was eaten by the goats led by Jiang Xue.
Jiang Xue also let them run around. She told Xiaohua, who was following her, "When you plant crops in the future, you must never let the sheep damage the crops."
Xiaohua looked at her in confusion, not quite understanding what she said.
"When we were growing cabbages before, didn't pheasants come and eat them? From now on, no matter what the reason, you can't let sheep run into the fields."
Xiaohua suddenly realized: "They also eat crops?"
"Food," Jiang Xue said. "You guys stay here and look after the sheep. Feed them well. I'll be back soon."
She is still a layman when it comes to farming, so she has to make up for her knowledge in this area during her free time.
"Okay, Sister Xue, go ahead and leave the sheep to us."
Jiang Xue returned to the tribe, found a stone and put a piece of animal skin on it, took out "Qimin Yaoshu" and started reading.
I was halfway through the book when I saw everyone coming back excitedly, carrying hoes.
Mu Feng saw her reading a book, sat down beside her with great interest, and said, "Axue, where did you get this tool? Can we make it?"
Jiang Xue looked at his serious expression and thought for a moment: "It's possible, but we can't mine the ore right now."
Having a hoe and a rake is like having a mold. If you have iron ore and can melt it into molten iron, you can make it.
"What is ore?"
Jiang Xue said, "Ore is just a general term. There are many types of ores, such as iron ore, copper ore, gold ore, silver ore, tin ore, and so on. If we can find the raw materials of these ores, screen them, melt them at high temperatures, and then hammer and forge them, we can make the tools we want. But so far, I haven't found any ore."
"that's all?"
"What do you mean it's just like that?" Jiang Xue said, "We can't even find the raw materials right now. The second problem is the temperature. We're so inexperienced and we might not even be able to build a high-temperature forging furnace."
"Where did you get these tools?"
Jiang Xue smiled but said nothing, "Let's talk about it later!"
Now that spring has arrived, and after a winter of settling down, they now have so much to do.
