Chapter 84 Eat enough meat, eggs and milk to strengthen the tribesmen!
In the temple, the second-generation prophet Hemira reacted the fastest.
"Soybean, God has bestowed a gift!"
An exclamation mark popped up above her head: "The gods have given us new guidance."
"Praise you, great and wise God Yao."
She knelt before the statue, as pious as ever.
Outside the temple, the pixel people had different reactions.
"Soybeans, soybeans... soybeans are for eating."
“Grow soybeans. The world needs soybeans.”
"The gods love soybeans! Soybeans must be delicious, just like wheat and potatoes."
“Round soybeans, jewel-like soybeans, mysterious soybeans.”
The Garlic Tribe had received many blessings and was very receptive to various gifts from God. They immediately planted soybeans in the land.
Soon, green soybean seedlings sprouted in the fields. After a period of time, these soybean seedlings became tall and full.
Time passes quickly in the pixel world, and farmers begin to harvest soybeans batch by batch.
Just as Lu Yao expected, the little people first used soybeans as direct food.
As spring turned to autumn, the soybean fields grew larger and larger, and the garlic tribe harvested more soybeans. The small people dried a large amount of soybeans and stored them in the barn with wheat to meet the needs of the time.
At this time, Lu Yao also started eating the braised edamame and enjoyed himself with the people.
When he chose soybeans, his first consideration was to strengthen the little people's physical fitness.
There are no physical attributes in the pixel world, but the low-dimensional world is still a complete world. The simulator just simplifies it into a pixel interface, which does not mean that it is so simple.
Isabel and the Blood Knight will reveal their complete true selves only when they enter the real world, and this is proof of that.
So, Lu Yao found soybeans based on the real world as a template.
Eat enough meat, eggs and milk to strengthen the tribesmen! The meat sources of the Garlic Tribe are now sheep, roosters, domestic pigs and fish. Although it seems to be abundant, the meat production is actually very small and far from meeting the per capita demand.
The pixel people are still in the tribal stage, and animal husbandry is relatively backward. Whether it is sheep, pigs or walking birds, they are mainly raised in the wild, and the breeding cycle is very long. The number of fishing boats is limited to the number of people and boats, and the amount of fish caught is also quite limited.
There is only a certain amount of meat in reserve, but the price remains high.
Lu Yao noticed that many little people were bargaining with merchants at stalls on the streets, and their main reason was to buy meat.
Meat is still an expensive luxury for most tribesmen. Many tribesmen can only buy salted fish and cannot afford fresh meat. They mainly eat wheat and potatoes.
This scene made Lu Yao heartbroken.
Although I can't afford meat, I want you to be able to eat meat! So, how can we do this? From a macro perspective, we need to improve the entire animal husbandry industry, expand livestock breeding, further reduce feeding costs, and speed up the rate of slaughter.
To be honest, this is a very complicated subject.
Lu Yao chose one of the entry points: feed.
Soybeans are not only high-quality pig feed, but also edible for humans. Soybeans themselves contain a lot of fat and protein, which can be used to extract oil and then be used for a series of development and utilization.
But theory is one thing, but what direction the little people will actually develop soybeans in is another.
Just like grapes, Lu Yao originally thought they could make wine, but the villains turned around and made beer for him, turning grapes into a high-end sacred fruit.
Lu Yao continued to pay attention to the tribe.
After three winters, a 60-year-old farmer named Nong Liang discovered the secret of soybeans.
"The pacing bird often steals food from the soybean fields, which means it likes soybeans very much. Since there are extra soybeans in the barn, we might as well feed them to it."
Nong Liang initially did it secretly, using fresh soybeans to feed two baby walking birds that he had bought.
The walking birds he raised were obviously stronger than other birds of the same kind. Not only were they tall, but they also had dense feathers. When they walked, they were also domineering, with the momentum of the red rabbit among birds.
Especially after slaughtering them, you can get [high-quality meat].
Nongliang was so excited that he ran all the way to the temple and selflessly told his leader Morimi about this great discovery.
"Leader, soybeans can make the pacing birds stronger and produce more and better meat!"
“Maybe feeding sheep, pigs and fish would work, too!”
The wizard Sen Jian took this very seriously. After confirming that what Nong Liang said was completely true, he immediately discussed it with Haimi La and Yu Lian, and asked other farmers and herdsmen.
Soon they began to mobilise the entire tribe to feed soy to their livestock to produce more meat.
A prompt appears on the screen.
【Nong Liang invented soybean feed. 】
[The Garlic Tribe has mastered the method of making and using soybean feed. ]
Feed policy brought immediate changes. Driven by soybeans, the growth and reproduction rates of pigs, sheep, roaming birds and even horses increased significantly.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Soon, these changes spread to the trading market. The price of meat dropped to a certain extent, allowing more people with limited money to eat meat.
What made Lu Yao a little regretful was that Nong Liang died soon after promoting the soybean feed. He didn't even wait for the possible hero transformation treatment.
But the tribesmen remembered him.
The old farmer's name was engraved on the monument. Although it was only a short line of words, it was also remembered by later people as part of the tribal history.
"Nong Liang: He was the first person to feed the walking bird with soybeans. He let everyone know that soybeans are valuable feed. He made everyone eat more meat."
The garlic tribe began to grow soybeans frantically to get more meat.
Soon, soybean fields rivaled wheat fields in size, extending into forests and rivers. The soybeans attracted many animals, which in turn triggered a series of subsequent changes.
[The Garlic Tribe learned how to raise and use cattle.]
[The Garlic Tribe has learned how to raise fish.]
Soybeans indirectly domesticated bison and finally made fish farming a reality.
Black and yellow cows strolled leisurely on the grass, and farmers pushed piles of soybeans with leaves next to them with wheelbarrows. Then these large livestock began to eat quietly, and their tails were wagging with pleasure.
On the docks along the East River, there are fish farms surrounded by stones and fishing nets. Fishermen throw soybean feed into the farms, and fish in the water rush out to grab the food.
Seeing this scene, Lu Yao also felt a little emotional.
A long time ago, some people in the tribe had the idea of raising fish.
One of them is called Nong Yu and the other is called Yu Huan.
At that time, the two imagined making a water farm, raising fish like growing wheat, and harvesting in spring and autumn. But they never succeeded until they died.
Many years have passed in a flash.
Later generations finally fulfilled their fantasies and made the dreams of their predecessors come true.
Soybeans became the catalyst that enabled the Garlic Tribe's long-stagnant agriculture to begin to flourish.
Not long after, what Lu Yao had been thinking about finally appeared.
【The Garlic Tribe learned to make and use milk.】
【The Garlic Tribe learned to make and use goat milk.】
[The intelligence of all the people in the Garlic Tribe has improved to a certain extent. ]
When Lu Yao saw these two lines of words, he felt a sense of accomplishment.
Finally, the little people in the tribe can have a meal of meat, eggs and milk. Brother, this god has done a good job.
