If Xuan hadn't come to find him, he wouldn't have forgotten that he still hadn't made the cotton gin and hadn't dealt with the wood ash he had stored.
"Yuqing, you said before that you wanted me to make something with you. Can we start now?" In the evening, Xuan suddenly appeared at his doorstep. Just like last time, he placed barbecue, vegetable soup, and a cup of black honey fruit water on the flat stone.
Meng Yuqing looked at Xuan in confusion. What else was there?
Seeing his expression, Xuan held his forehead helplessly, "You said you wanted to make a machine for processing cotton, and..."
He waved at Meng Yuqing. "You haven't gotten the fire fruit or the stem-leaf tree yet, have you? The tribe already has a lot of wood ash. Father asked me to ask you, besides the plantations, what else are you going to use the wood ash for? The plantations don't need that much wood ash."
After hearing Xuan's words, Meng Yuqing, who had just sat down, suddenly stood up again, "Ahhhhhhhhh, if you hadn't told me, I would have forgotten where I was. Wait a moment!"
After saying that, without waiting for Xuan's answer, he ran straight back into the house, which was brightly illuminated by the yellow light stone.
In the tribe, apart from the pregnant sub-beasts who can be directly allocated a piece of yellow light stone, he is the only one who can be directly allocated one.
The other yellow light stones require the tribesmen to exchange them for something.
Soon, he came out with a piece of animal skin. He sat next to Xuan and looked at the things listed on it in the light of the fire.
Sure enough, all the things Xuan mentioned were listed on it, but he was so busy during this period that he only looked at the list once except for crossing out the time when he was making bricks.
If Xuan hadn't reminded him, he would have forgotten even the list.
"Are you free these two days?" Meng Yuqing asked casually while looking at the list.
"Well, I have free time for the next few days. My father asked me to help you before organizing the autumn hunt." Xuan said as he handed food to Meng Yuqing.
"Then let's deal with the stalk-leaf trees and fire fruits first. Then I'll try making the wood ash cement. Once it's successful, we'll teach others how to make it. Then the two of us can focus on studying the cotton gin." Meng Yuqing thought for a moment and continued, "If there's anything I've missed, please remind me immediately. I tend to forget things when I'm busy."
"Yeah, I know." Xuan looked at him with a smile in his eyes.
It is not autumn yet, but Meng Yuqing feels that time is too tight. Many things can only be obtained after returning from the market. He must arrange everything before winter.
He had promised Xuan and Qiuye that he would ensure the entire tribe had a good winter.
There were not many stem-leaf trees and fire fruits. With Xuan's help, they dug out all the fire fruit seeds in one day.
After letting the system identify that the fruits were ripe and could be planted directly, they rushed to the field. On the way, Meng Yuqing accidentally touched her eyes with the hand that had touched the fire fruit seeds. She felt so spicy that she jumped all over, which scared Xuandu.
Fire fruit is not a delicate plant. Just sow the seeds at a proper distance, cover them with a thin layer of soil, and sprinkle some water.
I just encountered some trouble when planting the scutellaria. Only the seeds on one scutellaria could be planted, and the number of seeds was very small.
The planting method is not difficult. Just spread them in the soil, cover them with soil, and water them. But the number is really too small. Even if they grow up and are planted, the number will not be large. It is still impossible to have a piece of cloth for each person in the tribe next year.
So we still have to find a way to revive those seedless stem-leaf trees.
But that's where the problem lies.
"These trees have been away from the soil for too long. Even though I put them away myself, it still affects their activity. I don't know how successful I can be." Meng Yuqing sat next to his own plantation, looking at the stem-leaf trees in front of him with a sad face, while frantically searching for relevant information on pole planting.
In fact, the current weather is not suitable for planting with poles, but if he waits any longer, it will be until the beginning of next spring, and he doesn't want to wait.
Xuan sat beside him and looked at him, not knowing what to do. This was an area he had never been involved in. Even Meng Yuqing was troubled, so he had no idea what to do.
Just when Meng Yuqing was worried, the system suddenly spoke, "Host, do you want to use energy?"
"How do I use it?" He sat up straight suddenly.
Xuan had been watching him, and when he noticed his movements, he immediately looked over. He saw Meng Yuqing's expression of surprise, as if he were communicating with someone. Was he communicating with something he couldn't see? Was that thing helping him solve the problem?
"Well, using energy to ensure the survival of these stem-leaf trees will be quite energy-consuming. Host, do you want to use it?" After a pause, the system continued, "Or you can go to the mall and see. Exchanging for items requires less energy than using them directly, but there's no guarantee of 100% survival."
After saying that, the system fell silent. He could only say this much and nothing more.
Meng Yuqing immediately opened the mall, and the first products that caught his eye were rooting powder and fungicide. It must be that the system specifically picked out these two things for him to see.
These two things are inside the finished product, and the things inside the finished product are very expensive, although Meng Yuqing can definitely afford it with his current energy.
Apart from exchanging items and looking up information, he rarely uses extra energy. He handles things that he can handle by himself, and will not seek death by relying on the system.
So I still have a lot of energy stored up.
However, these two things cannot guarantee the survival rate of the stem-leaf trees 100%. What if all the stem-leaf trees have that small probability of failing to survive? Then the energy will be wasted.
Thinking of this, he hardened his heart and said, "Let the system use energy directly. I must weave cloth next year."
As long as these trees survive, they can branch indefinitely. Before winter, he can collect a lot of fresh branches and store them in warehouses. Next year, he can plant a large number of stem-leaf trees.
"Okay, host, just plant these stem-leaf trees in the soil. The energy will adjust automatically."
After hearing what the system said, Meng Yuqing stood up and said, "Xuan, let's stick these directly into the soil, and then break off the branches that look stronger and stick them into the soil as well."
Xuan stood up with him, holding the safflower and walked into the plantation. According to Meng Yuqing's instructions, he inserted the safflower directly into the soil.
He was much faster than Meng Yuqing and completed most of the work.
After all the stem-leaf trees were planted, Meng Yuqing spoke to the system in his mind.
"I understand, host. Just remember to water it." The system replied.
Then Meng Yuqing found that his energy was almost exhausted. He covered his chest with his hands and felt heartbroken for a while, then pulled Xuan away from the plantation.
He needs to slow down.
It doesn’t matter, I can earn it back once the cloth is woven, he comforted himself.
