Chapter 296: Big Pie
However, considering that the last time these tigers made so much noise in the forest, scaring the villagers from sleeping, Jiang Tangtang set some rules in advance this time, asking these tigers to keep a low profile.
Lili looked well-behaved as she left. She had indeed listened to Jiang Tangtang and didn't lead a group of tigers to roar in the forest to show off their authority.
But what these tigers did was not low-key at all.
When Jiang Tangtang woke up from her sleep and came out of the space, she saw the ground was crowded with various animals.
What surprised Jiang Tangtang was that these prey were not dead yet. There were big bison with injured legs that could not run, red deer and musk deer that were knocked unconscious by unknown means, and many wild boars, wild sheep, water deer, roe deer, etc. that were trembling with fear and dared not run.
Seeing Lili's expression of admiration, Jiang Tangtang couldn't help but hold his forehead.
She guessed, "You're not asking me to raise all these prey?"
Lili nodded happily, thinking how foolish she was for not thinking of this idea before.
It gave the newly recruited tiger brother an appreciative look, thinking that what humans said was indeed reasonable. When three tigers walk together, there must be one who can be my teacher.
Jiang Tangtang: “…”
Is she going to open a zoo in space?
But when she met the tigers' expectant eyes, she couldn't refuse, and finally she could only move all these prey into her fantasy.
The space was replanned.
At this time, she couldn't help but feel fortunate that the space was large enough, otherwise she would have no place to accommodate so many animals.
And although it is a bit sinful, many of the prey caught by these tigers are precious.
For example, musk deer. Isn’t the precious musk extracted from musk deer?
There is also the red deer. Aren’t the unossified and hairy young antlers of male red deer the raw materials for velvet antlers?
…
If large-scale breeding can be achieved, it will not only expand the industry but also protect rare species.
So, Jiang Tangtang reluctantly gave up several acres of land and replanned and relocated the area where these animals moved.
It was repeatedly emphasized that precious animals such as red deer and musk deer cannot be eaten, and only wild boars and sheep can be eaten.
Lili, who was thinking about improving the food, suddenly showed an aggrieved expression.
Jiang Tangtang seriously tried to fool the tiger, "Look, there aren't that many red deer and musk deer you caught. If you eat them, they'll all be gone. We'll keep them alive. When they multiply, you can eat as much as you want."
Lili, the naive big tiger, didn't know that what capitalists like most is to paint people a rosy picture, so he foolishly believed it and happily oppressed other big tigers who wanted to eat red deer and musk deer.
Let them eat more grass and less meat, and then eat them when these prey reproduce in large numbers.
In order to help these red deer and musk deer have more offspring and grow up quickly so that they can be eaten by them, a group of tigers transformed themselves into hardworking little bees.
After helping Jiang Tangtang with work in the fields every day, he would chew on the magical herbs and enthusiastically feed the red deer and musk deer.
This frightened the red deer and musk deer in the fence, and even the spiritual herbs full of spiritual energy lost their flavor.
Jiang Tangtang was a little amused and could only give orders to Lili, asking the tigers not to scare the small animals in the space.
In order to release the extraordinary energy of these tigers, Jiang Tangtang releases them back into the forest for a period of time every once in a while.
However, the tiger, who had absorbed spiritual energy in the space, did not want to return to the big forest.
Besides catching a lot of prey and filling their food stores, they prefer to stay in space.
Even if you have nothing to do in the space, you can just lie down and sleep.
After making sure that these tigers would not damage her orchard and crops in the space, Jiang Tangtang no longer paid much attention to them. Most of her attention was focused on planting wild rice on the mudflats.
Time flew by and it was December, and the drought continued. Even though the temperature dropped slightly in some parts of the north, not a drop of rain fell.
The situation in the capital is becoming increasingly tense.
The price of food in the city has increased countless times, and has reached a point where ordinary people can no longer afford it. Some high-ranking officials and wealthy families are even living off stored food.
The continued drought and food shortage have made people increasingly anxious, irritable and out of control, with violent incidents occurring almost every day in the city.
More people took risks in order to survive, and for a time, theft and robbery occurred frequently.
Some staunch royalists had no choice but to send people to Lingnan to gather information for the prosperity of the entire family, and to consider whether to move to Lingnan.
Compared with the tense atmosphere in the capital, Lingnan is much better.
Although the rice on the seaside mudflats has just been planted and is far from harvest time, everyone is excited to see the mudflats, where there was originally not even much grass growing, now covered in lush green.
When the rice grows, they will have food to eat and no longer have to worry about starving to death.
People look at these seedlings on the mudflats as if they were treasures, full of love and affection.
Every farmer called upon to plant wild rice worked with utmost enthusiasm and dedication. Some even organized patrols to prevent wild animals from destroying the rice fields.
In addition to paying close attention to the cultivation of wild rice, Jiang Tangtang is also organizing people to prepare for locust prevention.
She remembered that locust plagues were very common after severe droughts. It was said that the drier and more water-scarce the conditions, the more favorable it was for locusts to reproduce.
She is not sure whether there will be a locust plague next year, but she decided that it is like a war and it is better to prepare in advance.
In this era of low science and technology, Jiang Tangtang could not think of any good way to prevent locust plagues and could only use well-known folk remedies.
They catch them with nets, and when the locusts are not too severe, they drive the chickens and ducks to eat them.
The net-making problem is easy to solve; all we need to do is recruit more refugees to help. Even if there were no locust plagues, seaside cage aquaculture would still be needed.
The materials used to weave nets in this era are not as good as modern high-tech materials, and they cannot last long when soaked in seawater, so the nets for cage aquaculture have to be replaced frequently.
Anyway, these woven nets will never be wasted in the end.
What gives Jiang Tangtang a headache is how to raise a large number of chickens and ducks.
Because of the drought, now except for the few farms she runs, ordinary farmers basically have no livestock at home.
Now, the most urgent thing to do when raising chickens and ducks is to solve the problem of water and food shortage.
There is definitely no surplus food.
After much thought, Jiang Tangtang finally turned his gaze to the sea.
If rice can be successfully grown on tidal flats, then ducks can also grow on the beach!
So, following the experimental field, Jiang Tangtang also set up an experimental breeding farm. For easier management, the experimental breeding farm was also located in the bay near Yazhou.
As more and more people gathered near the bay, the demand also increased.
Jiang Tangtang simply brought a construction team over to make professional plans and began building the house. In addition to the farm, there were also living quarters for the workers.
In order to motivate people, workers' housing is divided into two types: one is a dormitory for collective living, and the other is a house with a small courtyard.
This made the workers very excited.
Recently, these workers get together to discuss things after work.
"Have you heard? Madam brought a construction team here to build a house for us to live in!"
A thin man, holding a hoe, stood with several other farmers who had just finished their farm work and began to speak excitedly.
