In the devastated semi-agricultural tribe, Han Cheng, the commander of the victorious side, was exercising one of the victor's privileges - collecting spoils of war.
Inside the room, Han Cheng found the crops stored by the people of this tribe.
He couldn't wait to grab a handful, and the round feeling immediately cooled Han Cheng's excited and nervous heart.
Just by feeling it, he could tell that this crop was not the wheat and rice he had been thinking about, but rather a kind of bean.
Don’t say it’s still soybeans!
If it really was soybeans, I would definitely have the urge to hit someone.
Han Cheng thought so in his mind, but he was basically certain that these things were not soybeans. This was not only because the size of these round things felt smaller than the soybeans in his tribe, but also because of the dim light in the room, Han Cheng was certain that its color was not yellow.
Grabbing a handful of unknown beans, Han Cheng quickly walked to the door of the low house in the semi-agricultural tribe.
As the light came on, Han Cheng finally saw the true appearance of the crop.
This is a round thing that is gray-brown in color and smaller than a soybean.
But it is certain that this is a kind of bean.
Han Cheng stared at the gray beans in his hand and searched his memory carefully. After a while, he actually found some memories related to the beans in front of him.
If nothing unexpected happens, the beans in my hand are gray peas, which are called material peas in my hometown.
The reason why it is called feed peas is that it is believed that this kind of peas is very good for feeding cattle and horses after being ground. It is suitable for fattening cattle and horses and for giving them a snack during the busy farming season.
It is considered a good crop, but because we had too high expectations for this unknown crop, we can’t help but feel disappointed when we learn the truth.
However, Han Cheng's disappointment lasted for a while and then disappeared.
Because no matter what, their tribe has obtained a new crop that can be grown on a large scale.
Although the name of this bean is not very pleasant, in addition to being used to feed cattle and horses, it can also be eaten by humans.
Put it in a ceramic pot, cover it with a lid and let it simmer for a while. The peas will become soft and taste good.
This way of eating is not what Han Cheng is most interested in. What Han Cheng is most interested in is soaking the peas in water and then grinding them with a small flower grinder to get pea powder.
This thing can be used to make jelly, a great way to relieve summer heat!
Use a scraper to scrape the jelly into strips, add vinegar, sesame paste, chili oil, salt, and a handful of coriander. After stirring with chopsticks, a bowl of cold jelly that makes Han Cheng drool just by thinking about it is ready.
In the era without ice, this thing is a delicious summer food to cool off.
Not only jelly, pea flour can also be used to make vermicelli.
In later generations, not only high-starch crops such as sweet potatoes and potatoes were used to make vermicelli, but even corn could be made into vermicelli.
Peas, which have a high starch content, can naturally be used to make vermicelli.
However, because the output is far lower than that of the leading crops such as sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn, the cost of making vermicelli is quite high, so it is basically rare to come across pea vermicelli.
Once peas are transformed into vermicelli, there are immediately many ways to eat them.
Chop up the golden-brown tofu and eggs, mix with chopped vermicelli and leeks, and it is great for making dumplings, steamed buns, or pan-fried buns.
And the famous dish of pork stewed with vermicelli served in a bowl...
When all the ways of eating peas came to his mind one by one, Han Cheng's mood immediately became better. When he looked at the gray beans in his hand, the feeling suddenly became different.
"Send all of these back to the tribe. Don't leave any of them behind!"
Han Cheng, who was swallowing heavily due to the stimulation of vermicelli and jelly, roared with great heroism.
After the arrival of more than three hundred invaders, the semi-agricultural tribe, which had just experienced a war, not only did not become depressed, but became more lively.
Many people from the Sheep Tribe were tied up and gathered in piles in the courtyard, watching these brutal invaders going in and out of the houses of their tribe.
Most of these people had pale faces and were trembling all over. Some of them were scared, while others were cold and hungry.
After all, since the beginning of winter, they have been adopting a strategy of saving food at the call of the wise priestess.
This morning, I hadn't had time to eat before this incident happened. After running for my life, I was already starving.
Inside the courtyard, there was the aroma of food wafting around; the Green Bird Alliance's men were cooking food in large vats.
Not far away, people were dragging the bodies of the semi-agricultural tribesmen who had died in the battle outside and piling them up in a twisted pile.
While the bodies were being cleaned up, someone was cooking at the same time, and no one in the crowd thought anything was wrong.
These primitive women from the semi-agricultural tribe, holding their children, were all terrified, because under the order of the leading demon, all of them, along with their children, were pulled up and pushed into the house.
They were pulled away from the team, and they kept looking back in fear and helplessness, wanting to ask their tribesmen for help.
However, what they were greeted with were only the tribesmen whose hands and feet were tied, with the same terrified and helpless looks.
These terrified female primitive people from the semi-agricultural tribe became confused and uncertain after they came to the room with fire.
Because these people, who had been so cruel not long ago, did not kill them or their children, but instead untied their hands that were tied in front of them.
Seeing the hungry crying children, they didn't care too much and quickly took out the children's bowls to feed them...
The female priestess of the semi-agricultural tribe was in pain all over and was in a state of despair. Her tribe was ruined just like that.
The leader died, and none of the others escaped...
Although she was in such a daze, she became excited when she saw these evil people starting to drag people from her tribe who were holding children into the house.
Because she learned from previous priests that some tribes would kill the babies of the attacking tribe, and even worse, they would be eaten directly!
This brutal tribe in front of her... The female priestess of the semi-agricultural tribe didn't dare to think any further.
She, and the other people in the semi-agricultural tribe who saw this scene, became extremely frightened, and within their fear was a deeper resentment.
This emotion lasted for a while, and then suddenly stopped.
Because the demon who seemed to be the leader of these demons was serving steaming hot food with his own hands and had people bring bowls of it into the room.
And this room was the one where the women of his tribe and their babies were imprisoned not long ago.
What are they doing?
It doesn't look like he's going to kill anyone.
If I were to kill people, I would not be able to give them something as precious as food. Especially now it is winter, when food becomes even more precious.
These people in my tribe really need to eat more food, because they don’t eat well and they don’t have much milk or water.
The female priest of the semi-agricultural tribe thought so in her heart, and then she felt even more strange and puzzled.
Because she found that she had no idea what that person meant by doing that.
It was just like I had never expected that this person would be so despicable and shameless as to arrange people there.
Ever since she met this tribe, the wisdom that she was so proud of always seemed insufficient.
The whole person often feels like being pressed to the ground and rubbed.
She didn't know the purpose of Han Cheng's action, but Han Cheng himself understood it.
On the one hand, we don’t want these babies to die of hunger and cold in such weather.
Compared with the adults in the semi-agricultural tribes, they are the most innocent.
Having this kind of emotion at this time may seem a bit bitchy, but Han Cheng really has this feeling in his heart.
However, although he would feel some precious guilt for the deaths and injuries caused under his leadership, if Han Cheng were given another chance to choose, he would still do it without hesitation.
There is no way. In the adult world, there is no such thing as easy. This is especially true for an adult who leads a tribe to develop.
On the other hand, such behavior is used to appease these people and slowly win their hearts.
Having just committed a massacre here, Han Cheng naturally would not think of making them grateful to him immediately. That was unrealistic.
But doing so will indeed have some uses.
If they do similar things more often, their feelings about their tribe will gradually change.
Although these people would be used as slaves in the near future, Han Cheng still tried his best to turn them into slaves who had no complaints against the tribe, just like the people in the Tengshe tribe.
Han Cheng's move was very effective.
The captives of the semi-agricultural tribe, who were in a state of panic, did not understand what was going on after seeing this. However, they were clear about one thing: these brutal people would not kill them for the time being...
When these brutal people had eaten their food and bowls of hot soup unexpectedly appeared in front of them, these frightened people felt more at ease.
The female priest of the semi-agricultural tribe felt confused, on the one hand because of the cold and hunger, and on the other hand because these people always behaved in ways that were beyond her expectations.
But her mind was still confused. After the ropes on her hands were untied, she ate the food without hesitation under the guard of the demons with weapons, because she wanted to survive. She wanted to see what these people wanted to do. She wanted to see the secret of why this tribe was so powerful...
While the female priest of the semi-agricultural tribe was eating food quickly, Han Cheng, who was sitting in the house, was looking at this primitive man who looked a little old.
Through the rescued slaves of the Sheep Tribe, he learned the identity of this primitive woman.
The identity of this primitive woman is quite suitable for that of a witch.
This was the thought that came into Han Cheng's mind after he understood the identity of this primitive woman in the semi-agricultural tribe.
Wu is old and lives alone, lacking a warm kang, which looks quite miserable.
This primitive woman seemed to be younger than Wu, so she was sent to Wu's bed to warm it. Although it was not so much a case of "an old cow eats young grass", it was still acceptable.
Moreover, because this woman had a special status in the semi-agricultural tribe, she basically had enough food, so she had a lot of meat on her body.
Judging from the taste of the witch in finding wives for herself several times before, she should be able to catch the witch's eye...
The more Han Cheng thought about it, the more he felt that this was feasible. After all, the most beautiful thing is the sunset.
"Do you think that woman is beautiful?"
Han Cheng pointed at the female priestess of the semi-agricultural tribe who was wolfing down her food and asked his eldest senior brother who was standing beside her.
The eldest brother looked at it carefully for a while, nodded and said, "Beautiful."
After saying that, he suddenly looked at Han Cheng with a strange expression.
This look made Han Cheng feel cold all over and he couldn't help shivering.
Han Cheng, with black lines on his forehead, quickly waved his hands to clarify this frightening misunderstanding: "It's for Wu, it's for Wu..."
The eldest brother understood Han Cheng's meaning, thought about it seriously for a while, and suddenly a light appeared in his eyes, and then he nodded...
“A-choo~!”
At the gate of the Qingque tribe, the witch, who was wearing a very domineering tiger-skin coat and looking towards the east of the tribe, suddenly sneezed violently, with snot bubbles blowing out.
After wiping his nose, the witch didn't dare to stay here any longer, because the Son of God had told him that people would sneeze easily after catching a cold.
Wu didn't want to die at all now. Seeing the tribe getting better and better day by day, he could never get enough of such an intoxicating scenery.
So after returning to the house, he quickly poured himself a cup of steaming hot tea, held it in both hands and sat on the warm kang, drinking it until he was sweating before he stopped.
I don't know if the Son of God and his men have reached that tribe, if they have conquered that tribe, or if they have been injured...
Han Cheng and others, who were being muttered by the witch, are now packing up and preparing to return to the tribe.
There are a lot of people in the Semi-Agricultural Tribe. Excluding the forty-three people who died in battle with the leader of the Semi-Agricultural Tribe and those who were killed while fleeing, there are still two hundred and twenty-three people left, including adults and children!
This number of people is almost five times the population of the Qingque tribe when Han Chengcai arrived!
Among these people, there are as many as 131 adults, including 36 males and 95 females.
There are ninety-two minors.
Add to that the five obedient people from the Sheep Tribe, and the four people from the Sheep Tribe who have never surrendered, and the total population this time is 232 people!
The Green Bird Alliance only lost one person.
The dead person was from the Sheep Tribe who had just joined the Green Bird Tribe.
When I was killing the people of the Bannong tribe at the east entrance, I was knocked down and then trampled to death...
