It is much easier to shell the rapeseed. After two days of drying in this open space that can barely be called a "field", the rapeseed has been completely charred.
At noon on the third day, under the guidance of Han Cheng, everyone once again picked up the multifunctional weapon - wooden sticks, and beat the dried rapeseed. They turned it over to dry in the sun, and after a while, they called on the children in the tribe to jump up and down.
After doing this twice, the rapeseed pods that had already been scorched by the sun cracked open, releasing the rapeseed that had been nurturing for a long time.
With so little stuff, everything was easy to do. He pushed the empty rapeseed plants aside, brushed over the empty rapeseed pods that had fallen from them, and then used a broom made from suitable wild grasses to gather the rapeseeds left on the ground into a pile.
The empty rapeseed pods, fallen rapeseed leaves and broken stems are light, while the rapeseed is heavy. You can separate these things from the rapeseed by gently sweeping them with the tip of a broom.
After doing this two or three times, the large residue will be gone, and the remaining fine particles, such as the white film inside the rapeseed pods and some small leaves, cannot be swept out in this way.
It was easy to get them out. Han Cheng swung the broom left and right, and the wind blew them away.
After a period of busy work, clean rapeseed finally came out.
However, the rapeseeds that have just been harvested cannot be put into jars directly because they contain a lot of water. If they are put into jars directly, they will become moldy and rot. They need to be dried.
The cleaned rapeseed was spread out to dry in the small area in front of the cave entrance. Han Cheng specially assigned two children to guard it to prevent birds from eating it, even though the totem worshipped by their tribe was the green bird.
Three days later, Han Cheng was looking at the half-jar of rapeseed and laughing. From time to time, he put his hand into the jar, grabbed a handful of rapeseed, loosened his hand slightly, and felt the tiny and smooth rapeseed slipping through his fingers. It was so beautiful.
But it doesn’t mean that you can plant rapeseed just by having it. There is another important issue that needs to be considered, which is the land.
If the land problem is not solved, the seeds will be wasted. (A light bulb suddenly flashed in my mind... hehehe...)
However, land reclamation is also a troublesome matter. It took a lot of effort to clear out an open space of 11 or 12 square meters. And this was done in a place that was specially chosen without big trees and with few shrubs and weeds.
Rapeseed cultivation requires a certain scale. In the first season, at least two or three acres of land should be cultivated, right? That is more than 1,500 square meters.
Judging from the forests everywhere near the cave, even if we wait until this time next year, the rapeseed will not be ripe again!
It is indeed a long and arduous journey. Living in this era, every step forward requires tremendous effort and overcoming many difficulties. Not to mention anything else, even farming is so difficult.
Han Cheng looked at a jar filled with rapeseeds sealed with a bowl not far away from him, and couldn't sleep for most of the night.
It is impossible to expect to cut down trees with simple tools such as stone axes, and Han Cheng would never do that.
It would be great if Baldy Wang was here, and let the senior brothers help him guard against the two bears that always disturb him and hinder the logging. He can take his small electric saw and give full play to his talent in logging. If he can be served with three barbecue meals a day, Han CD will be happy!
Han Cheng gave a bitter smile, he was almost going insane. Even if Bald Qiang came, it would not be as reliable as the eldest senior brother becoming the real eldest senior brother.
Not to mention the rest, just the Big Brother's Ruyi Jingu Bang, which weighs 180,000 kilograms and can kill 10,000 monsters in the South Mountain Cave and another 10,000 in the North Mountain Cave, can sweep away thousands of enemies and flatten all these trees that are in the way...
Han Cheng fell asleep very late. The next day, he did not make salt or build a kiln for making pottery. Instead, he led some people in the tribe, holding what could barely be called stone axes, and walked towards the forest slightly west of the tribe's cave entrance. Then he took the lead and smashed the stone axes in his hands into the lush trees...
This rice is so delicious...
The incident with the Zhenxiang Emperor will naturally not happen to Han Cheng, uh... at least not this time.
He led the people in the tribe and took stone axes to smash the part of the tree that was close to the ground. He didn't want to cut down the tree, but to peel off some of the bark.
As long as you circle the tree and peel off the bark in a circle, except for a very few strong trees, the rest will not be able to withstand it.
It won't be long before it withers and dies completely.
After they die and dry up, when the weeds on the ground turn yellow in autumn, Han Cheng will light a fire, and these guys will turn into ashes and become fertilizer.
And the Qingque tribe, under the leadership of the time-traveling Son of God Han Cheng, took a firm and great step towards slash-and-burn agriculture!
“There aren’t enough people!”
This was not the first time that Han Cheng had expressed such an emotion. As the number of things that needed to be made increased, the shortage of labor became more and more obvious, which severely constrained the development of the Qingque tribe.
In order to solve the problem of labor shortage, Han Cheng took out all the kidneys he had saved for two days, added them to other meat, and made a pot of soup specifically for the adult men with wives in the tribe, including Lame.
That night, the primitive songs in the tribe were indeed much louder than usual.
Han Cheng, lying on his bed, was chuckling secretly, looking as if his conspiracy had succeeded.
However, his happiness soon disappeared and turned into a long sigh.
Because this method of increasing the population by childbirth alone is too slow. Assuming that a child has some working ability at the age of seven, it takes about eight years from conception to birth and then to the age of seven...
But for now, there is no better way, so we can only do this for now.
Heiwa, who has been married for many years, has also gotten married. His spouse is "Zhuang", a man who has just reached adulthood, is about the same age as him and is very strong.
She looks almost as strong as Heiwa, and is the most beautiful woman among the younger generation of the Qingque tribe. In order to marry her, Heiwa had a bloody fight with Tietou, who had also just reached adulthood, and finally won the beauty with a bruised face!
This made Han Cheng's eyes widen, but he could understand it.
After all, there is not much surplus in life nowadays, and only strong people can live better in this era, so people’s aesthetic standard at this time is just one - strong!
As for the famous beauties in history, such as Xizi, the thin and petite Zhao Feiyan who could dance on her palm, even the most cowardly men were not willing to have them...
