Ah Qing understood immediately. She glanced at Yang Jiu in front of her and whispered to Xiangcao, "Xiangcao, are you serious?"
There was a hint of excitement in her words, and she looked like she really wanted to pin Yang Jiu to the ground and beat him up.
Vanilla looked around, pulled her and ran away.
The departure of the two did not attract everyone's attention. Yang Jiu listened to the conversation between Jiang Xue and Sang Yang in front of him and remembered their conversation firmly in his heart.
He never knew that besides relying on the mountains, he could also use his wisdom to get what he wanted.
He said that he had never seen any other tribe like their Snake Tribe, which would plant those small saplings that looked good but were useless in the open space of the tribe.
It was the first time that Yang Jiu heard that the specialty of the Bamboo Tribe was the sand dates.
As for the Fire Tribe, they are only said to be powerful in legends. Apart from those legends, they are nothing.
Jiang Xue found another place, which was more in line with the characteristics of "convex mountains facing concave mountains, and good water in the concave".
To put it simply, the shape of one mountain is convex toward the opposite side, while the shape of the other mountain is concave inward. The convex and concave are opposite to each other. The water source is good in the low-lying area of the concave mountain, and there will be a lot of water if you dig a well.
This protruding mountain is the cliff to the west of the tribe, and opposite it is the mountain where charcoal is usually burned.
Jiang Xue actually found a low-lying area here.
There used to be water here, but due to the recent drought, the water has long evaporated, and even the exposed mud has cracked.
As long as we find the lowest point here and dig out water, this will become a natural pond. Then we can connect it to the ditches in the tribe, and the water will flow out. There will be no need to worry about having no water!
With the previous experience of digging wells, the tribesmen were more adept at the work.
Without waiting for Jiang Xue's instructions, they rushed to work, fearing that if they were too slow, Jiang Xue would not be able to see their performance.
This place is far away from the tribe’s living area, covers an area of about two acres, and has a suitable depth. If water can really be dug out here, it will become a natural lotus pond without any need for any transformation!
Jiang Xue originally thought that it would be the same here as in the valley, where they would have to dig at least five or six meters deep before water would appear. However, they only dug two meters deep and water came out.
The speed was so fast that Jiang Xue was stunned.
Yang Jiu stared in amazement as water emerged from the bottom of the pit. It quickly filled up the entire pit. He shook his head and sighed, "I'm truly impressed. I never thought the Snow Witch had such great abilities."
He has no choice but to accept it!
He still remembers how he left the gathering place of the Yang tribe.
It's because of lack of water.
If the tribe had not lacked water, then when the Crazy Sand Tribe attacked, they would not have been without the strength to fight against them, and he and his tribesmen would definitely not leave the territory where they had lived for decades.
Jiang Xue originally wanted to reinforce the bottom of the well here with bricks like she did on the other side of the valley, but the water here was too high. Before they could transport the bricks over, the water had already filled half of the newly dug pit.
As a result, it was completely impossible for them to pave the bottom of the pit with bricks.
"Okay, let's leave it like this. We'll plant lotus flowers here later, and we'll be able to harvest more lotus roots next year."
When she mentioned lotus root, Yang Jiu thought of the day when they first met, when she was digging something in the lotus pond.
And the food that night included what they had dug up.
Those things are crispy when eaten raw, and they are also a rare delicacy when cooked.
The happiest one is Sang Yang.
He stared at Jiang Xue with a fiery expression and begged, "Xue Wu, please be kind and help us dig a well. Don't worry, as long as you help us dig a well, I will cover all the salt for your tribe!"
Jiang Xue rolled her eyes.
He is indeed the son of a landlord, stupid but rich.
Salt is originally scarce and is the most valuable commodity in every tribe. Yet, he actually said such words just to please himself.
"There are over 200 people in our tribe now. Even if we only use one kilogram of salt a day, we still need 360 kilograms a year. And as you know, we also use salt to make bacon and salted fish in the winter. Therefore, we need at least 400 kilograms of salt every year."
Jiang Xue chuckled, "And this is just the minimum standard. Aren't you afraid that your production won't be able to keep up with our demand?"
Sang Yang frowned. He really hadn't thought about this.
"How about this, our two tribes join forces. We specialize in producing salt, and you teach us how to make these miscellaneous things. How do you think?"
Jiang Xue wasn't at all excited about making this deal with him: "Not interested, you should find someone else."
Sang Yang suddenly became a dramatic figure. He grabbed the corner of Jiang Xue's clothes and said pitifully, "Xue, please help us!"
Jiang Xue rolled her eyes at him and said, "It's impossible for us to join forces. If you can join our Snake Tribe, I would be happy to accept your suggestion."
Raising one person is raising, and raising a group of people is also raising.
What's more, this group of people have all kinds of survival skills, and there must be some talents among them who have not yet developed various skills. If we can really convince them to join the Snake Tribe, hehe, it would be a waste to not use them.
Sang Yang's face suddenly froze. He looked at Jiang Xue seriously, "Ah Xue, are you serious?"
Jiang Xue nodded. "I'm definitely serious. Look at our tribe. We've already reclaimed so much farmland. One more of you wouldn't be too many, and one less wouldn't be too few. Whether you agree or not, we'll just reclaim more land for planting next year."
