The winter when people mainly ate fish was finally over. In order to ensure the productivity here as much as possible, no one from the original Bear Tribe came here for the time being (Ma Yue still had a lot of fire spirit stones in reserve), and all the labor was concentrated on the large-scale production and construction here.
That's right, hunting requires manpower, fishing requires manpower, farming requires manpower, and salt boiling... We still owe the "Niupi" tribe a lot of coarse salt. We can't do without increasing the manpower and increasing the coarse salt production, right? At least, we need to double the manpower in the early stage.
Each hunting team was guaranteed to have twenty people, and the division of labor between the two hunting teams was quite scientific. As for the other work, men, women, young and old, whoever was capable could do it. Anyway, everyone was busy.
Can't someone with a weak constitution boil salt? Can't they till the soil? Can't they catch fish? So, every person is precious.
The tools were simple, and tilling the soil was indeed slow. A good deal of manure had been accumulated over the winter, so applying fertilizer would surely increase the yield. With the High Priest's planning and Cai and Niao's technical guidance, the area of tillage continued to expand.
That's good. Onions and sunflowers are both necessities of life. Onions are an important seasoning. We can't just eat meat, so sunflowers, the only green food, are certainly the most important. At least, that's what Ma Yue thinks.
In fact, Ma Yue knew that radishes were also very important. As for when radishes could be grown, it all depended on the research of vegetables and birds. However, what Ma Yue did not expect was that the one who actually succeeded in cultivating radishes was the high priest...
Ma Yue was relieved that the three wildebeest survived the harsh winter. With the arrival of spring, the grass around them grew green, and the children took them for a walk, which helped the wildebeests eat their fill and gradually gain weight.
The rabbit breeding operation was growing in scale. The Second Priest and his children were constantly busy, and the enclosure was constantly expanding. Everyone had tasted the sweetness of being able to eat rabbit meat in the winter. Even the smallest rabbit skins could be sewn into gloves and foot wraps, right?
Every time the hunting team went out hunting, they would bring back some wild rabbits that were caught alive from time to time.
Ma Yue also valued the wildebeest's carrying capacity. So, whenever the hunting team went out, they would lead the wildebeests along, hoping to bring back some meat, right? Wildebeests can carry much more than humans.
Wildebeests can survive the winter, but what about other wild animals?
As for buying live sheep from the Niupi tribe? It was too expensive, not worth it. So, catching as many live beasts as possible became a new mission for the hunting team.
Of course, it is very difficult to catch a live wild animal. Rabbits are small and can be dealt with by a small flying stone. But large wild animals, even herbivores, run super fast. How can you catch them?
Whether or not he could catch it wasn't Ma Yue's hard target. If he couldn't... Damn it! He would have to buy it from the "cowhide" tribe.
The second priest was very satisfied. Finally, a new species had been added to the breeding circle: the pheasant! This thing was not very large and did not fly high. The second leader, Shuichong, had injured several of them with flying stones and captured them.
If I pluck the feathers from your wings, how can you fly?
The two little hyena cubs were running around happily, and Ma Yue, who was bored, would occasionally take the two puppies to patrol his territory.
The large-scale production construction is proceeding slowly and smoothly. In any case, a lot of arable land has been reclaimed outside the wall, and it is almost time to sow.
The high priest now has a real job, in charge of the planting industry, and he is doing a great job. His life is getting better and better. It's better than hiding in a cave and pretending to be cool, right?
The situation is promising, very good! Ma Yue was very satisfied and headed straight to the beach with his two puppies.
Here a group of young and old are busy boiling salt, haha!
Ma Yue looked at the sea. The sea here seemed always so calm, with almost no huge waves.
The sea is rich in resources. The problem is, in this era, there is no technology to build large ships. At least, Ma Yue doesn't know how.
What about the fish in the sea?
On the beach, apart from some shrimps and crabs, why are there no fish? Even though there are no huge waves, there are still waves, constantly rushing towards the beach.
Unable to figure out the reason, Ma Yue wanted to go back.
Before I took a few steps, the old and young people who were boiling salt not far away began to exclaim.
Ma Yue looked back. Holy crap! A fish as big as a mountain was hurtling towards the beach with the waves. It was... a whale!
Ma Yue knew a little about whales. For example, this whale-like creature had fins on both sides that were almost as big as wings. It really looked like the totem in the cave. Of course, they weren't wings, but fins. Whales used these to swim and change their appearance.
"Sea God!" More than twenty people, young and old, who were boiling salt here knelt on the beach in fear.
Damn Poseidon, he's evolved to look like a 21st-century whale. A creature this big rushed onto the beach and was crushed to death by its own weight.
Why do whales rush onto beaches and commit suicide? There is a rumor in the past that whales inherited the instinct of their ancestors and rushed onto land to seek safety.
Archaeologists believe that early whales were land-dwelling creatures with legs. Later, they underwent a long evolutionary process from land to sea. Of course, all of this is speculation, without any evidence. Any unfounded speculation is frivolous.
No matter what, the whale rushed onto the beach and committed suicide. It was just a natural thing.
And another whale washed up on the beach.
"Charlatan!" Many people of the sea tribe, young and old, who were kneeling on the beach, looked at Ma Yue who was walking towards them in surprise.
"The Sea God said that he will send food to our Sea Tribe today. Do you understand?" Ma Yue first eliminated the fear of these people.
"What did the Sea God say?" A group of people looked at Ma Yue in horror.
"I am a charlatan, the god of communication!"
