Chapter 434: Waiting for the Donkey



The former third leader of the Teng Snake Tribe, who had just returned from the grassroots tribe not long ago and is now the second leader of the Teng Snake Tribe, set out again with a group of people.

Also traveling with them was Cao Gen, a man with a crooked nose.

Their destination was the cave where Cao Gen and his group once lived.

They will live in the cave for some time.

On the one hand, they can go to another place not too far from the cave where the grass roots originally lived to collect and dig the grass that the unicorn monster likes to eat, which is becoming more and more valued by them.

On the other hand, you can also collect fruits and hunt prey there.

Of course, in addition to this, there is another most important purpose, which is to wait there for the black tribe to come again with precious pottery and delicious salt for exchange...

The witch of the Teng Snake tribe was there, gently stroking the face of the one-horned monster with her hand, while watching the second leader of the Teng Snake tribe leave with everyone else.

He was in such a good mood that he even wanted to raise his head and scream a few times to vent the urge of happiness in his heart...

The leader of the Donkey Tribe led the people of the Green Tribe, carrying pottery, salt and some food exchanged from the Green Bird Tribe, and walked on the road to their own tribe.

He was in a very happy mood, especially after feeling the heavy weight on his shoulders, he felt even more happy.

These heavy things can be exchanged for many things from other tribes in time!

However, after returning, the leader of the Donkey Tribe did not plan to go to other tribes to trade immediately.

Because it is the season when fruits ripen in large quantities, food becomes extremely easy to obtain.

He brought his tribesmen to trade between different tribes in order to obtain sufficient food.

Since we can now get enough food without running back and forth to trade, we naturally won’t risk running back and forth to trade.

He wanted to make the deal when the ice and snow were about to melt, just like last time, so that he could easily exchange more furs and other things from other tribes...

Compared to the ambitious Tengshe tribe and the contented Donkey tribe, the Green tribe had a much harder time.

It’s not because food is difficult to pick at this time, but because of the salt that has been hanging over their heads, which they love and hate, ever since the Green Bird Tribe announced that it would no longer be free.

The salt exchanged from the kind Green Bird Tribe last time is running low. Even though the leader of the Green Tribe has been eating very carefully and frugally, there are still many people in the tribe who eat salt.

The leader of the Green Tribe scratched his hair in annoyance. The green leaves on his head fell down, along with some hair...

During this time, the Green Bird Tribe had already installed the wooden beams of the house prepared for the Green Tribe. All that was left was to fix the roof, and then everything would be fine.

At the same time, rapeseed in the fields was also planted.

There are a lot of them, covering an area of ​​one hundred acres!

Fifty acres of the crop were sown with a plow, and the other fifty acres were sown by hand.

The seeds sown with a plow are mainly for harvesting and saving seeds, while the seeds sown by hand are mainly for digging and eating the vegetables.

Because the purposes are different, the sowing methods used are also different.

After all, if the seeds are sown, the number of rapeseed plants in the same area of ​​land can be at least three or four times more than that sown with a plow.

The rapeseed grown in this way is best eaten by digging it up.

When picking vegetables, pick the largest ones first. After the large ones are pulled away, the small ones will have space to grow. If you pull them one by one in batches, you can eat them for a long time.

The reason why so much is planted at one time is because the population of the Green Bird Tribe has increased, and the amount of livestock raised is also increasing, so the consumption of rapeseed will become more.

As for whether there will be enough land to grow millet next year, there is no need to worry.

First, after the rapeseed was planted, Han Cheng arranged people to continue to open up the wasteland.

Secondly, after the rapeseed is harvested, you can plant the next crop of late millet for crop rotation.

After two years of planting, the soil fertility decreases, so it is left fallow for half a year or a year to restore the soil fertility.

The cabbages and high-quality rapeseed that Han Cheng had carefully cultivated were also planted together, and he did this personally.

After several years of continuous selection and cultivation, we have achieved some results.

However, there is still a long way to go before it can become as common as the Chinese cabbage in later generations.

But this is enough to make Han Cheng happy.

Since an old man over 60 can cultivate white marigolds from scratch, year after year, then why can't I, a person who had just reached adulthood in primitive times and is far from adulthood in later generations, cultivate cabbage using the same method?

Such high ambitions were immediately diminished when his eyes turned to the five dogs.

Now more than a month has passed, and Xiaofu has not returned yet. It seems that he will never come back...

Although Han Cheng felt regretful about the result, he was no longer as anxious as he was at first. He just felt a little regretful when he thought about it.

After all, 'Heaven and earth are the inns of all things, and time is the passer-by of hundreds of generations...'

"Bang, bang, bang..."

Not far in front of the cave, Zhuang was holding a very smooth wooden stick that was thin at the top and thick at the bottom, and he was pounding it hard into the stone pit below.

The work was so tiring that even the strongest men were sweating profusely.

After pounding it a few more times, he bent down to look at the millets in the mortar. A lot of the husks had been pounded off, so he stopped and handed the wooden stick to another female primitive. She squatted down, raised her tired and sore arms, and put all the millets in the mortar into a winnowing basket on the side, then walked aside to clean it up.

The winnowing basket was lifted up and then dropped down, and the husks that were pounded off flew out and fell to the ground, leaving behind the round, golden millet in the winnowing basket.

These husks cannot be wasted. Although they cannot be used for burning, they can be mixed with grass to feed pigs or used to pad deer pens, which is very good.

When Zhuang was cleaning Xiaomi, the female primitive person took over Zhuang's job.

She scooped some millet from the winnowing basket beside her, put it into the stone mortar, and then began to pound the rice one by one.

Although the frequency was not fast, sweat began to appear on the corners of my forehead after a while.

Millet rice and millet porridge are indeed very delicious, but they are too troublesome and tiring...
