At Jiang Xue's command, the tribe members finished tackling one acre of land in just about an hour.
The early rice was ready, but Aunt Cao and the others hadn’t prepared breakfast yet.
Jiang Xue took out the potatoes she had placed in the cave.
Fortunately, it is the return of the south wind, and the air is relatively humid, so some things will become moldy if left for a long time. But thanks to this return of the south wind, these potatoes have already sprouted.
Jiang Xue took some ash from the campfire, cut the potatoes into pieces of appropriate size according to the number of sprouts, rolled them in the prepared ash, and planted them directly in the field.
After planting the potatoes, Jiang Xue remembered that she still had some soybean seeds in the package. Since she was going to start planting today, she decided to take them all out and plant them.
Jiang Xue had no idea when to plant these crops. She just thought that since she had nothing to do now, she might as well plant them.
The early rice, potatoes and soybeans have been planted, but the thick fog shows no sign of dissipating.
Jiang Xue looked at the thick fog and sighed.
After all, it is a mountainous area, and the fog comes suddenly and doesn't dissipate for a while.
After returning to the tribe and eating something quickly, everyone came to her and asked her what to do. She was at a loss.
This won't do. She can't be in charge of everything. She frowned and thought for a while, deciding to discuss it with Mu Feng in the evening.
After arranging the affairs of the tribe, she took her two sisters, Xiangcao and Xiaohua, to the bamboo forest.
After entering the bamboo forest, Jiang Xue asked them to go find pheasants again, take out the eggs if there were any, and catch the chicks if there were any. They could do whatever they wanted. Jiang Xue herself planned to go deeper to see if there were any bamboo rats to catch.
To be honest, she had been thinking about this for too long.
The last time she ate bamboo rat meat was when she followed the main tribe to cut bamboo. Since then, she almost never talked about catching bamboo rats again.
If she didn't say anything, no one in the tribe would come to catch bamboo rats.
Even though Xiaoxi and the others came to cut bamboo every now and then, they would not even bring one or two back to eat.
In the past, the tribe could still eat fish, but now, the fishing nets are broken and they can't even eat fish.
Following the previous method, she caught three nests of bamboo rats by herself.
Throwing the bamboo rat she caught into her backpack, she looked around to see no one around and silently said, "Sign in."
[Successfully sign in for 230 consecutive days and receive 230 achievement points, plus a flute and a beginner's music sheet.]
When Jiang Xue heard the word "flute", she thought she had misheard.
Flute?
Is he going to promote music theory in the tribe? !
Poor girl, she couldn't even read the musical notation. Even when looking at the simplified musical notation, she had to recite "do re mi fa so la si" once before she could pronounce the relevant notes smoothly.
This is too difficult!
She took out the flute, her brow furrowed.
People like her with insufficient lung capacity may be able to play the flute loudly, but playing a complete tune is probably as difficult as climbing to the sky!
Jiang Xue found Xiaohua and the other person with a depressed look on her face. They were obviously tired and sweating, but there was not even a chicken feather in the backpack.
Jiang Xue frowned: "What are you doing? How come you haven't even caught a chick in such a long time?"
It would have been fine if she hadn't mentioned it. As soon as she did, Xiaohua pouted and started crying: "Sister Xue, we really didn't expect that chick to be so agile. It got into the thorn bush in the blink of an eye and refused to come out."
Thorn bush?
Jiang Xue glanced in the direction of her finger, and wow, it really was a thorn bush!
If I remember correctly, the tender shoots at the tips of these thorns are also edible!
Thinking of this, she picked up a thorny young bud, peeled off its emerald green coat, and stuffed it directly into her mouth.
Xiaohua stared at her with wide eyes and shouted in disbelief, "Can this thing be eaten?"
She had lived for so long, and she only knew that some fruits were edible, but she had never thought that these unattractive young buds with thorns could also be eaten.
She followed Jiang Xue's example, broke off one, peeled it, and took a light bite.
"Ah, so sweet!"
"Then let's quickly fold more and bring them back so they can have a taste too."
Jiang Xue looked at the two chicks in astonishment and stopped catching them. She was busy breaking off the thorns.
"Then you guys just fold it first, I'll send the bamboo rat back."
She also didn't have the heart to interrupt their fun. She was the one who caught three nests of bamboo rats. Although the little creatures were a little chubby, it was still quite tiring to carry more than twenty of them in a backpack.
"Okay, you go back first, we'll be back soon."
Jiang Xue shook her head helplessly and let the two sisters get busy first.
She has a heavy workload now.
So many fields were reclaimed in the tribe at once, and she needed to manage them all.
The field was okay, next to the trench she had dug and close to the tribe, but those fields were relatively far away.
What's even worse is that she hasn't made a wooden barrel yet, so the farm manure, especially the farm manure in the pit, can't be transported out at all.
It seems that I have to look up "The Exploitation of the Works of Nature" again to see if there is any method on how to make a bucket without wire.
Jiang Xue walked and thought all the way. Now she had most of the tools for carpentry. The only thing she needed was to use them to make something. If she couldn't make use of them, they would be nothing but a pile of scrap metal.
Here, the role of scrap copper and iron is not even as important as stone tools.
After all, we still have to go find some ore!
She thought about this all the way, and when she walked into the tribe, the children in the tribe were still playing hopscotch with great interest.
The popularity of hopscotch will not decrease for the time being. After a while, when the children lose interest, we can ask Asongbo to make some skipping ropes for them so that they can jump in the tribe when they have nothing to do.
"The Snow Witch is back?"
When Aunt Qingshi saw her coming back, she greeted her with a smile.
Jiang Xue nodded at her: "Auntie Qingshi, why are you twisting the rope?"
"Well, I can't do anything else, but I thought twisting these ropes seemed to suit me, so I started." Aunt Qingshi's tone became a little dull as she spoke. "I saw they were twisting them pretty fast, and I can never catch up with them. Look, I've been twisting them for a long time, and I've only made this little bit."
Jiang Xue took a quick look and found that the rope at her feet did seem to be much less than that of others, but overall it was not bad.
"Don't worry, Auntie. Everything is difficult at the beginning. Once you become proficient, you will definitely not be much slower than them."
"really?"
"Really, Auntie, you have to believe in yourself."
Aunt Qingshi's face immediately lit up with a smile, "Okay, hey, didn't you say you wanted to catch pheasants? Where are the pheasants?"
"I caught bamboo rats today. I'll have them roast them tonight so you can have a taste."
"well!"
Aunt Qingshi said two good words in a row and went back to struggling with the hemp rope.
