Chapter 135 Two Seasons of Potatoes



Not bad, not too numb. Of course, if you want to really mobilize the enthusiasm of the slaves, it will take some time to adjust.

It doesn't matter. I don't plan to go out to hunt in the near future. I'll stay at home and train my troops first.

The biggest advantage of the Haifan tribe is salt. As long as there is salt, people's physical strength can basically be guaranteed and the living environment will be much better.

The chair's ocean exploration team hasn't returned yet. Ma Yue still has to stick around.

"High Priest, what's the matter?"

"Sage, the potatoes seized from Lushan are very good." The former high priest of the Red Deer Tribe, who was in charge of the salt-boiling team.

"How great is that, haha!" Ma Yue laughed. He still admired the enthusiasm of the high priest. During this period, Ma Yue did not suppress the priest. After all, this guy's power of faith had reached a high level. He was a good fan and gained more trust from Ma Yue.

This priest also participated more in the comprehensive management of the Haifan tribe.

"It turns out that the potatoes from our Red Deer Tribe aren't very good. We can only harvest one crop a year. The potatoes grown in the Deer Mountain branch of the Thunder God Tribe can be harvested twice a year."

Damn it! Ma Yue vaguely remembered that potatoes in his previous life seemed to be of different varieties. It seemed that potatoes in Shandong could be planted and harvested in two seasons.

"Do you understand?" Ma Yue asked.

"Spirit, it turns out there are some foreign slaves in our Red Deer Tribe who once worked in Lushan..."

I understand. It turns out that half of the slaves of the Red Deer Tribe are outsiders, and Lushan is also the territory of the Thunder God Tribe.

"Spirit, our climate isn't cold here. If we continue to plant these potatoes now, as you said, we can harvest them around the beginning of summer, which will take about four or five months. Then, we can plant them... Lushan is fine too. Our climate is even more convenient here..."

The high priest spoke with some excitement. This guy now has a stronger sense of belonging to the Haifan tribe. In the Haifan tribe, he has found new motivation for life and gained more respect.

"Okay! I'll leave this matter to you. If you need any manpower, just tell White Eagle. Farming is a big deal and can't be delayed!" If the potatoes can be harvested for two seasons, there will be hope.

Even if one acre of land only produces less than 600 kilograms, two seasons will produce more than 1,000 kilograms. Potatoes are the staple food and are much more resistant to hunger than radishes.

"Don't worry, charlatan. We have never relaxed our production of plows recently. With so many deer brought back, we can grow more potatoes, haha!" The high priest who found new motivation in life ran away happily.

Yes, there were originally more than a hundred deer, and this time, more than three hundred deer were seized. The scale... is really not small.

If things continue to develop like this, the Haifan Tribe here will be comparable to the Poseidon City over there.

If that's the case, it would be a pity to give up.

Hey! Let's just leave it like this for now. Who knows what the future holds? Whether or not we can find our way home is anyone's guess.

In any case, once potatoes can be harvested twice, there will be a much better chance of food security.

Since we're so anxious to start farming, it doesn't matter if the training of the troops is delayed a little. Besides, the Haifan Tribe currently has many able-bodied men. Rotating some of the newly arrived slave soldiers and deputy soldiers for training won't delay the spring plowing, right?

Initial military training emphasized overall coordination, so Ma Yue didn't need to worry about it. Lü Fang, Guo Sheng, and Hai Dao could all be used, and the three could rotate without interrupting hunting and reconnaissance.

Hai Dao's performance was getting better and better, and Bai Ying was full of admiration. He was a natural strongman with swordsman and shield, much more powerful than Hai back then.

What primitive people admire most are such strong men. Their prestige will rise rapidly, and it will not be a problem for them to become a leader.

Four hundred deer pulling the plow is a spectacular sight, haha!

Ma Yue is still satisfied with the current situation of the Haifan tribe.

The Haifan tribe now has a lot of sharp knives and axes (of course, this is thanks to the more than 200 sharp broken blades sent by the Qingfeng tribe and the Leishen tribe), and the old and the weak are not idle either, constantly sharpening new stone plows and wooden flying spears.

Ma Yue had long said that as long as there are people, they are useful. Logistics work is also very important. It ensures spring plowing and accumulates a large number of weapons stocks, and the elderly and the weak do not eat in vain. All kinds of work need people to do it, right?

The high priest and his farming crew worked for a month, and three hundred acres of land was a lot.

Unfortunately, the high priest said that the growth pattern of potatoes seemed to be related to temperature, and they could only be cultivated in spring and summer, so there was no point in continuing to expand cultivation.

All right! If three hundred acres of land can be harvested... That's not right.

"High Priest, if you cultivate a few hundred more acres before summer, wouldn't that still allow you to catch up with the summer planting?"

"That's right, we have plenty of land here, no restrictions." The high priest slapped his head. The amount of flat land around the original Red Deer Tribe was limited. However, in this area, there is an abundance of flat land, no area restrictions.

"In this way, if we continue to cultivate the land and plant in summer, even a few hundred acres can be added!" The interval is definitely not as rushed as one month.

Of course, the time between your second tillage and summer sowing shouldn't be too long. If the land is left idle for too long, the soil will gradually harden and become unsuitable for sowing. This is the biggest difference between potato and radish farming.

It was less than two months before the beginning of summer, so the high priest had some experience in planting potatoes.

As a result, there were about two months of free time between farming, during which grazing and military training could be carried out on a large scale.

In the Haifan tribe's military training, veterans and slave recruits were naturally mixed together, so the veterans could at least set some examples. We were all primitive people, all born from slavery, so if you were too bad, wouldn't it be embarrassing?

People live in a group, and before you know it, you have to adapt to the new group life. Led by the veterans, the slave recruits integrated much faster.

As for bloodiness, of course it starts with hunting... No matter what, as long as you see blood often, your courage will gradually return.

Ma Yue just went out with him a few times, and that was enough. He was the boss, with so many backbones under him, so why did he need to worry about everything?

Ma Yue’s laziness is back again.

"Second Chef, your knife skills are getting better and better, not bad!" A charlatan who doesn't know how to enjoy life is a good charlatan. And now, a new cook has been born. She can cut potatoes into exquisite slices and shreds, and her lamb slicing skills are just as good as the 'chef' back on Kirishima.

Even though there are no onions or garlic, it's already pretty good.

"Corn soup again tomorrow morning?" The second chef was born a slave and was very honest. She was appreciated by the charlatan and became a personal cook. Naturally, her status rose rapidly. She was very grateful to Ma Yue.

"Well, breakfast is corn soup and a plate of shredded potatoes..." Ma Yue smacked his lips. It was a pity that there were no vegetables.

Poseidon City was still the best. Ma Yue missed home again. He missed onions, garlic, garlic sprouts, eggs, and spirit stones. Without him, would the Sea Tribe over there be in chaos? Would Poseidon City and the Seven Hundred Cities be attacked?

The chair hasn't come back yet. Can the sea route be found? When can I go home?
