In the Qingshan tribe, Meng Yuqing had already sorted out what to do next. He found a thin piece of animal skin and made a list of things to do.
At this time, the system suddenly appeared and started issuing tasks
Random task: Teach at least three people in the tribe to grow potatoes and sweet potatoes.
Random task: Teach the tribesmen to weave baskets, baskets and bags.
Random task: Teach the tribe to make pottery and wood ash products.
The day after Xuan left, Qiu Ye took the three sub-beasts to Meng Yuqing's house.
"Yuqing needs me to find a few people to help him. I thought you guys are very down-to-earth and smart, so I called you over. If he teaches you something, you must learn it well."
This is what Qiu Ye told them on the way here.
Hearing Qiu Ye's words, the three people who were brought here were very excited.
They knew that Meng Yuqing was very powerful. Not only did he know about herbs, but he could also make powerful weapons.
I heard that these weapons were specially made for sub-beasts so that they could protect themselves.
There is still a chance of survival if you encounter danger without the orcs around.
They also knew that Qiu Ye was saved alive from the roaming orcs because Xia made him such a weapon.
Xia also specifically sought out the sub-beasts who had experienced the incident and the orcs who had participated in the battle from the beginning to tell everyone what had happened.
It was really thrilling. The orc was actually preparing to kill Qiu Ye.
Fortunately, the weapon worked and the orc lost his strength in an instant, and Qiu Ye was rescued by Xuan Hefei in time.
When I arrived at Meng Yuqing's house, Meng Yuqing had already opened the door.
They were carrying potatoes and sweet potatoes out, and the four people saw this and immediately came over to help move things.
Among the people Qiu Ye brought with him was a face Meng Yuqing was familiar with, Rong Lin, the partner of the dying orc Luo whom he had rescued, and who had brought him food.
Last night he looked at his energy and bought another batch of potatoes and sweet potatoes. Now he has 190 kilograms of potatoes and sweet potatoes each.
After moving the potatoes and sweet potatoes to the fenced vegetable plot, Meng Yuqing pointed to the enclosed land and said, "I'm going to plant potatoes in this area, and sweet potatoes in that area."
As he spoke, he took out a potato and a sweet potato and introduced them to them, "The yellow one is a potato, and the red one is a sweet potato. They are two different kinds of food. What we are going to do today is plant them in the soil."
Qiu Ye took the two objects from Meng Yuqing and asked, "Just like trees and grass grow in the soil, should we put them in the soil and let them grow on their own?"
"Yes, when they grow up there will be a lot more than now."
Meng Yuqing calculated the yield in his mind and compared it with Qiu Ye's appetite. "The potato yield alone is enough to feed all the sub-beasts in our tribe for ten days. Adding the sweet potatoes, it's enough for all the sub-beasts in our tribe for sixteen days."
Hearing this, Qiu Ye and the other three people's eyes widened, "So many?"
Ronglin murmured, "If we only eat this these days, we can leave a lot of meat for the orcs. They will become stronger."
Qiu Ye looked at Meng Yuqing excitedly, "If we can find more to plant, can we eat this all winter?"
Hearing Qiu Ye's words, Meng Yuqing touched his nose awkwardly, "Xuan and I have been searching for a long time, and these are all we have found for now."
Seeing Qiu Ye's disappointed expression, he quickly added.
"When they grow up, we can harvest them all and not eat them for now. We can continue to plant them. The more we plant, the more we will harvest. There will always be enough for us to eat and still have enough left for more planting."
"Really?" Meng Yuqing's words made Qiu Ye's eyes light up.
"Really, I promise." He also wanted to take out enough at one time, but this required energy.
He couldn't possibly exchange all of it with energy. The things in the system mall were extremely expensive, and he still had a lot of things he wanted to exchange.
Moreover, after the attack, he discovered that energy has many other uses and can save lives at critical moments, so a portion must be reserved for emergency use.
"Great, what should we do?" They all looked at Meng Yuqing.
Meng Yuqing didn't waste any words and poured out all the potatoes and sweet potatoes.
After briefly introducing to them how to eat potatoes and sweet potatoes and the precautions to take, Meng Yuqing took out the small stone knife that he had asked Xuan to grind a few days ago, gave one to each of them, and taught them on the spot what cutting and planting is.
Each cut potato retains a sprout nest.
After cutting, apply wood ash on the cut to prevent rot and sterilize.
Then sprinkle a layer of wood ash in the pit to prevent insects, put the potatoes in with the buds facing up, and finally cover them with soil to form small mounds.
It sounds simple, but it takes time to do.
The five of them worked together for a whole day before they managed to plant all the potatoes and 100 kilograms of sweet potatoes.
Meng Yuqing pulled Qiuye and filled a bamboo tube with clean water and poured it on the potatoes. In the end, there were still 90 kilograms of sweet potatoes that had not been processed.
Looking up at the sky that was about to get dark, Meng Yuqing stopped everyone and said, "Let's stop here for today. We'll plant the rest tomorrow."
"Is that all?" Qiu Ye asked softly.
"It's almost done. This kind of crop is easy to grow. You don't need to take care of it too much during the few days after burying it. Just make sure to water it. Not too much, just keep the soil moist and not dry." Meng Yuqing recalled the method of planting potatoes.
After sending the other three away, Meng Yuqing grabbed Qiu Ye and said, "Qiu Ye, there are still some things."
He took out the vine woven bag he had brought back at the beginning and a small vine that he had taken the time to weave a few days ago.
"I want to teach the people in my tribe how to make these two too. I usually see you all use animal hide bags to carry things. After all, animal hides aren't as easy to come by as grass or vines. Using these is much more convenient. If they get torn, you can just replace them. You don't have to worry about carrying rough things in them."
Qiu Ye was a little surprised when he took the small rattan basket from Meng Yuqing.
Looking closely at the materials used to make this thing, it is actually made of some large leaves and thin bamboo strips.
And that bag is actually made of only vines, which is much better than making it with animal skins.
"Do you have to teach us this too?" Qiu Ye asked.
"Yes, of course I have to teach you these. Do you want me to compile them for the entire tribe alone?" Meng Yuqing said in surprise.
"I don't want to make these every day. You know I'm very lazy and don't like to get up early in the morning. You have to find someone who is good at handcrafting to learn from me. I don't want to teach you many times."
Holding the wicker basket in his hand, Qiu Ye looked at Meng Yuqing steadily, "Okay, I understand. I will bring a few more skillful sub-beasts over tomorrow."
"Okay, let's give the remaining sweet potatoes to the three of them tomorrow. You and I will make the rattan baskets and woven bags tomorrow." Seeing Qiuye agreed, Meng Yuqing told Qiuye directly about his plan for tomorrow.
"Okay, I'll arrange it." Qiu Ye nodded seriously.
