The Qingque tribe harvests millet. As long as it doesn't rain, once they start using the sickles, they basically won't stop.

When sowing, the millet in the tribe was planted in batches.

When harvesting, it is naturally harvested in batches.

It's just that when the millet is supposed to be ripe, it ripens faster. Although the millet planted later ripens later, the time difference between them is actually smaller than the time difference between the two batches of millet when they were planted.

That is why the people in the tribe cannot stop harvesting.

The first batch of millet has just been harvested, and the second batch is ready to be harvested.

Moreover, millet in the tribe is planted not only in flat areas, but also on some slopes with gentle undulations and not too steep slopes.

Because there is no water storage and moisture accumulation on slopes, millet planted on slopes generally matures earlier than millet grown on flat land.

Planting on slopes is the result of Han Cheng's persistence.

This is certainly not because Han Cheng is short of land, or because there is not enough flat land around the Qingque tribe.

This is mainly because slopes do not store water.

When the weather is good, the grain yield on the slopes is naturally lower than that on the flat land.

However, in years with heavy rainfall, the yield from slopes with good drainage can often exceed that from depressions and many flat lands with poor drainage.

This is why Han Cheng insisted that the people in the tribe plant crops on slopes, flat land, and some depressions.

It is impossible to have good weather all the time.

Drought and flood are common occurrences.

With the existence of these slopes and depressions, no matter how bad the weather is, the tribe will not suffer a complete crop failure.

This is a means of risk avoidance and risk diversification.

This is also the main reason why plain areas are more severely affected by disasters than hilly areas under the same climatic conditions.

Piles of straw have been piled up on the threshing ground of the Qingque tribe.

These straw stacks are either round or long.

The circular haystack can be piled more than three meters high, and the maximum diameter near the center can exceed seven meters!

There is a top at the very top, and on top of it are things like millet chaff that are pushed up with wooden forks.

These things are very waterproof.

Especially those old straw stacks that have been stored for a year and have become very solid. Even if it rains for a month, only the top layer will be wet.

The rest of the place is dry.

As for the long-shaped haystacks, the principle is actually similar to that of the round haystacks.

They are smaller and narrower at the bottom and become wider as they go up.

When it reaches a certain height, it will begin to shrink towards the middle, forming a top that bulges upward.

Because of its shape, the roof of this long pile actually looks similar to the tiled houses in the tribe.

However, it lacks the angularity of a tiled house and has a more rounded feel.

There is a reason why haystacks are small at the bottom and get bigger as they go up.

On the one hand, this shape allows more straw to be piled up within a limited area.

On the other hand, this shape can effectively block rainwater, so that the water flowing down from the top of the haystack will drip around the haystack, instead of flowing down along the haystack and wetting the lower part of the haystack and making it damp.

Stacking straw bales is a technical job.

Generally, when the straw stacks reach a certain height, someone needs to go up with a wooden fork to "stacker" them.

That is, they use their own weight to stomp the originally loose straw to make it more solid, and use wooden forks to distribute the straw shoveled up by others more evenly.

Tasks like stacking straw bales are usually done by multiple people.

It takes several people to shovel straw onto the haystack with wooden forks, and one person stands on it to stack it.

In fact, it is almost the same as loading a truck.

Among them, the position of stacker needs to be someone with skills and good eyesight.

Only in this way will the stacked haystacks become beautiful in the end, will not be crooked, and will not leak due to a poor top of the haystack.

These haystacks are valuable.

Of course, this is based on the premise that there are a large number of livestock in the tribe.

If the straw was not used as fodder for the tribe's cattle, sheep, donkeys, deer and other livestock, the people in the tribe would not attach so much importance to it.

The busy harvest is going on, and everyone is engaged in this busy and enthusiastic harvest.

Among the large group of people who returned from the south with Han Cheng, many were from the Red Tiger Tribe, a few were from the Youchao Tribe, and some were people who took advantage of the evil created by the Red Tiger Tribe and gathered their forces.

These people had never had much contact with these things before. Even though they had been in the Qingque main tribe for some time, when they saw the grand scene of harvesting crops in the Qingque tribe, they couldn't help but be surprised.

Before coming to the Qingque main tribe, some of these people were still somewhat proud in their hearts.

These people are all people with some abilities.

For example, some people know how to feed cattle, some are good at harvesting food, or some are good at hunting.

But after arriving at the main tribe, they were dazzled by the wide variety of tools and all kinds of work they had never seen before.

They were also amazed by the exquisiteness of the things made with such tools and actions.

They were devastated after seeing this.

The pride in my heart also disappeared.

It turns out that the things they were proud of before are nothing in the Qingque tribe.

After being deeply shocked, these people were attracted and impressed by the profoundness of the Qingque Tribe and began to devote themselves wholeheartedly to the construction of the Qingque Tribe.

Study hard all kinds of things that you have never been exposed to before, learn technologies that you have never been exposed to before, and work hard for the construction of the Qingque tribe.

The more they learned, the more they felt that the Qingque tribe was wealthy and profound, far surpassing any tribe they had lived in before.

And gradually I feel proud of myself for being a Qingque person...

Sweat kept flowing down, but everyone's faces were full of smiles.

They would rather be more busy like this.

In this way, the tribe can get more food!

People in the tribe have an extreme obsession with food.

No matter how much, they never think it is too much.

This is the same reason why people in later generations do not complain about having too much money in their hands.

However, not everyone is so busy. Apart from some people who feed or graze livestock, there are some special people who are not involved in this matter.

These people are a group of carpenters headed by Lame.

They need to repair the farm tools that have been damaged during this period.

At the same time, Bo and others were busy with more important things.

This matter is the research and manufacture of sailboats.

At present, the tribe has sufficient manpower.

At least after Han Cheng brought back a large number of people from Jinguan City in the south, some people could be allocated to do other things when harvesting crops.

After all, there were certain people who were doing the planting before, and those who came back with Han Cheng did not participate in the planting.

Now he is taking part in the harvest.

This advance and retreat saves manpower.

"Hahaha……"

In the carpenter's room, which was shaded by dense trees, laughter could be heard.

Lame, the old carpenter who had become very mature, smiled so hard that his teeth were visible.

But his smile was a silent smile.

The smile on his face was particularly obvious, but no laughter came out.

On the contrary, the other people around were all smiling and looking particularly happy.

Everyone was so happy, their eyes were focused together.

What attracted everyone's attention was nothing else but a ship.

Boats are not a very rare thing in the Qingque tribe today, but boats with masts and sails are rare.

It can even be said that there is none at all.

But now this record has been broken.

In front of Bo and others, there was a boat with a mast.

This ship is not very big, about the same size as the existing ships in the tribe.

But the style is completely different.

The existing ships in the tribe basically have rectangular bottoms.

But the current ship has a rectangular shape in the middle of its bottom and triangles at both ends.

This triangle is not very sharp, but the lines are smoother.

The area of ​​the bottom of the ship is not as large as the area of ​​the top. Compared with the area of ​​the bottom and the top, the bottom of the ship occupies about one-fifth of the entire height of the hull, which is relatively small.

This is reflected in the lines as this position is concave towards the middle.

Apart from this, there are many aspects of this ship that make it different.

For example, a large part of its cabin is paved with wooden boards, which makes it very flat.

There are square holes in some places, through which you can see a wooden ladder with a part of its head sticking out.

Of course, what is more eye-catching is the mast standing on the ship here and the sail tied to the mast.

There are three masts. The middle one is the tallest and strongest, while the front and rear masts are basically the same in thickness and length.

At this time, ropes were tied to the three masts.

The ropes are connected to the mast and certain places on the hull that are specially reserved.

There are sails tied to the mast.

The sails are made of tarpaulin and are white.

Even though the people in the tribe, under the leadership of a rather despicable son of God, were quite skilled in the art of binding, it still took a lot of thought to tie up the ropes and sails.

After all, the people they are most skilled at tying up are humans, not the sails that they have never had much contact with before.

Looking at the small sailboat in front of them, Bo and others felt particularly happy.

Only they themselves know how much effort and hard work they have put in to make this thing during this period of time!

Only they themselves know how difficult it was for them during this period of time.

Now, this small sailboat has finally appeared in front of him and others. Witnessing the results before their eyes and thinking back to what they have worked for it in recent times, it is easy to feel a strong sense of joy and excitement in their hearts.

Although they have not yet launched the boat to verify its performance, and although they know that many things still need to be adjusted and modified in the future, looking at the sailboat that now appears intact in front of them, Bo and others cannot suppress their joy.

"Apply a layer of tung oil on it."

After a while, Lame spoke to the people around him.

Originally, he could no longer contain his joy and wanted to immediately send someone to find the Son of God and tell him the good news.

But thinking that it was the busy farming season in the tribe and that the Son of God was busy in the fields with the others, he forced himself to suppress the impulse in his heart.

After some thought, he finally gave this order.

Afterwards, he began to inspect the small sailboat carefully, striving to make it perfect without any flaws, and to present it in its best condition before launching it to the Son of God.

Try to avoid as many undesirable situations as possible after the boat is launched into the water.

The sunlight moved inch by inch, and finally disappeared completely.

Large patches of clouds were dyed red, and everything on the earth seemed to be dyed with some brilliant colors.

In the fields surrounding the Qingque main tribe, everyone was still busy. After a tiring day, their movements not only did not slow down, but actually sped up a lot.

It was as if the non-stop work throughout the day did not make them feel tired, but instead made them more energetic.

Flocks of sheep and deer returned from afar, crossing the harvested fields and heading towards the main tribe.

These playful guys seemed to realize that it was getting dark and if they didn't eat now they would have no more chances, so they hurried to nibble on the grass, being more greedy than at any other time of the day.

The herders seemed to have long been accustomed to this characteristic of the animals. They did not urge them, but just followed slowly behind them towards the tribe, allowing the animals to eat as they walked.

Anyway, the main tribe is there, and some people have already started cooking.

No matter how late we get back, there will be prepared food waiting for us, enough to fill us up.

Time passed little by little, and those gorgeous clouds completely dissipated. When dusk fell, the distance became a little hazy, and the weather became cooler, the people in the tribe finally finished their work.

At this time, walking on the way home, I could already feel the dew on the grass.

At dinner time, Han Cheng, carrying a large bowl, came to the carpenter's room...
