"There's one more thing I want to tell you all." Jiang Xue thought for a moment and decided to tell you about the seeds. "Well, when the snow melts and the weather warms up, we'll start reclaiming the farmland and planting crops. I hope everyone will actively participate. If we succeed this time, we won't have to worry about food in the future."
"What? We don't have to worry about food anymore?" Everyone was stunned, not quite understanding what Jiang Xue meant.
Jiang Xue nodded. "It's just that I have limited seeds. If I want to have no worries about food, I'll have to wait at least a few years."
Jiang Xue had always thought the system was a bit of a rip-off. She'd been here for so long, and halfway through winter, they'd only just given her wheat seeds, and they'd even specifically emphasized they were winter wheat. If they'd given her spring wheat, she could have planted it in the spring, and by August or September of the following year, she'd be able to eat her own wheat.
"Axue, what kind of seeds did you get?" Elder Akagi suddenly asked, "Can you take them out and let us see them?"
Jiang Xue shook her head. Her seeds were all placed in the package that came with the system. It was easy to take them out, but it was difficult to put them back in.
What she was most worried about was that if she took the seeds out, someone would snatch them away. If the seeds were snatched away, and she had made such a boast, she would have to exchange the seeds for achievement points next year.
The gain does not outweigh the loss.
She said, "Don't worry, I'm not lying to you. It's just that we're not strong enough right now. If we can truly become self-sufficient through farming in the future, then we won't have to go out hunting much more often."
In fact, food diversification is imperative.
Eating only a single food is not good for your health.
Everyone nodded, and Jiang Xue clapped her hands again. "Also, since we're planning to farm, I'll teach you how to make baskets tomorrow. We'll need them to store our food. So if you have nothing to do these few days, split into three groups. One group will cut bamboo, one group will make baskets, and the last group will make bows and arrows."
"Everyone has seen how I made the bows and arrows. In the future, if we have the conditions, I will upgrade and modify these bows and arrows."
After Jiang Xue finished speaking, Ah Song asked, "Xue Wu, I have no objection to making a bow and arrow, but we have never seen this basket before. How do we make it?"
Jiang Xue smiled and said, "As usual, I'll draw a diagram on the ground for everyone to see first. After you've seen it, I'll teach you how to weave. But before that, what we need to do is cut as much bamboo as possible and break it into strips."
Everyone nodded, but their expressions were a little dull, as if they were not very interested in what she said about making bows and arrows.
Jiang Xue didn't really care. She yawned and said, "I've been busy until now, it's already dark." She walked to the fire, took down the clay pot on the fire, picked up a bamboo stick and poked it. Seeing that the bamboo stick could easily penetrate the chicken, she poured out a bowl of chicken soup and handed it to Ayun: "Ayun, drink some soup first, and then you can eat some chicken."
After saying that, she turned her gaze to the child lying next to her. Looking at this little ball with its mouth pouting and nestled in her quilt, Jiang Xue's heart was melted by the cuteness of it.
"What's the name for this furry thing? Have you decided yet?"
Ah Yun looked at her steadily and said, "Xue Wu, you'll decide on this matter. We don't know how to name her, so if you really want me to, I'll probably call her Muzi."
Jiang Xue looked at her in surprise: "Muzi is a good name, why do you have to let me come up with it? If I were to come up with it, it would definitely be a cat or a dog."
Or there may be pity, sadness, grief, worry, and questioning, all kinds of feelings.
Ah Yun looked at her: "Xue Wu really thinks the name I chose is good?"
Jiang Xue nodded: "That's really good. By the way, who is the father of this child?"
Ayun lowered his head: "I don't know who her father is either."
Jiang Xue's eyes widened: "You don't even know who it is?"
"I really don't know."
"Think about it, who has ever slept with you in the past?"
Ayun thought carefully and said, "Xiao Lai, Da Shu and Shitou."
Jiang Xue's mouth twitched. Is it necessary to be so explosive?!
Their sex life is really...
"Who do you think this child looks most like?"
Ah Qu took a close look at the child and pointed at Xiao Lai: "To me, this one looks the most like Xiao Lai."
Xiaolai is only twenty-one or twenty-two years old. He is not tall, a little fat, and has a mustache.
Jiang Xue sighed and walked silently to Mu Feng: "Mu Feng, come out and talk to you."
Mu Feng didn't understand why and followed her out.
Arriving at the clearing, Jiang Xue said, "I know there are more men than women in our tribe right now. There are eighty or ninety men, but only thirty or forty women. Have you ever thought about changing this situation?"
In fact, there is nothing to worry about if there are more men than women. What we should worry about is that they will do things recklessly because they cannot tell who is related to whom by blood.
Mu Feng said, "We really don't have any better solution for this matter. It's not just us, but all our tribes have more men than women."
"You've seen that after the Bear Tribe merged into ours, there were only a dozen or so women in their tribe, almost the same situation as ours. In this situation, what do you want me to do?"
Jiang Xue choked. "Then, next year, or the year after at the latest, I will build a house for everyone. Furthermore, the first people to move into this house must be partners who are willing to take care of each other and their children together."
Young couples will be companions in old age. If she can't even do this, then no matter how much she says, it will be meaningless.
"I'm afraid that won't be easy."
"It's not easy, but we have to do this." Jiang Xue was troubled. "If we don't do this, won't the world be in chaos?"
What made Jiang Xue feel even more incredible was that originally in this world, they basically made a living by hunting. Logically, the probability of men getting injured was very high, and they also lacked clothes and medicine. If they got injured and got infected and missed the best time for treatment, they would definitely die.
But the strange thing is that no matter which tribe, the number of women sitting at home is far less than the number of men going out hunting.
Logically speaking, the risk factor for women sitting at home is much lower than that for men facing wild animals outside.
Mu Feng pondered for a moment and said, "Since you have this plan, you will be responsible for this."
Jiang Xue nodded, "Then if you're alright, I'll go in first."
Mu Feng grabbed her and held her in his arms. He buried his head on her shoulder and whispered in her ear, "Stay with me a little longer."
Jiang Xue was petrified instantly.
