Chapter 200 Land Preparation (1)
The purpose of tilling the land is to loosen the soil to facilitate the rooting of crops, and also to mix fertilizers such as wood ash on the surface of the soil with the soil to increase soil fertility.
Because every place had to be carefully taken care of, the process was quite time-consuming. Excluding the time for lunch and rest, the two people continued to turn over the land until the sun set, and only then did they finish turning over all the land.
The land here is brown in color. After being turned over, the moist soil underneath is exposed. The overall color is obviously different from the one next to it. Although there are messy broken soil everywhere, there is a kind of orderliness in the chaos.
[The OCD person said it was very friendly. Although it was all dirt, after turning it over, it was obviously... tidier?]
[Ahhh, I saw some bugs tumbling around on the ground. You're not scared, are you?!?]
This job is really hard, tiring and difficult, but Xia Xia actually finished it all.
【Salute to those who work hard! 】
Xia Tian agreed with the comments in the barrage. This kind of farm work is really tiring. Otherwise, why do we say that farmers work hard and should not waste food?
Especially since I have to bend over for a long time, and my body is not used to this kind of work, and the weather is hot, I have to stand up and rest from time to time, which really affects my progress.
Fortunately, she and Si Ye persisted and finally finished it before dark.
In the past, this would have taken at most an afternoon, not a whole day.
"Huh... I finally finished turning over all the land. I can start sowing tomorrow." Xia Tian walked back to the cave, rubbing her shoulders in the setting sun.
Very tiring, but very fulfilling.
Si Ye is also very fulfilling.
Because he had been with Xia Tian all day, doing the same thing, he felt a sense of satisfaction from nowhere.
He hummed, and followed Xia Tian. "So this is what farming is like. It's much safer than hunting, but it's not easy if it's like this every day."
This way, you just stay in your own territory and deal with the land, doing simple and repetitive actions, without having to fight with ferocious beasts. It is indeed very safe.
Putting aside the harvest of the land and the changes in climate, such a comfortable and stable life, although it consumes physical strength every day, is the ideal life for many orcs.
But this also has a big disadvantage, which is the single food supply.
Because only plants can grow on the land, not animals, carnivores cannot obtain the food they need through this channel.
If you want to eat meat, it seems that the only way is to hunt.
"No, what we do isn't strictly farming." Xia Tian shook her head and paused before saying, "We don't rely on farming for a living right now. We just grow this one thing and don't have to take care of it the rest of the time. If we relied on farming for a living, it wouldn't be that simple."
Si Ye had seen the lives of those herbivorous orcs and understood what she meant, but he just found it strange.
After thinking for a while, he asked the question that had been lingering in his mind, "Xia Xia, you grew up in the wolf tribe, so why do you know about these herbivorous tribes?"
He thought about it and decided that instead of being suspicious, it would be better to just say it directly.
If there is any danger at that time, he will be able to protect her safely.
Xia Tian was stunned and was speechless for a moment, "You ask... why?"
