The next moment, they had reached the foot of the mountain.
But the number of refugees was several times greater than before.
There were at least a thousand people.
The chestnuts growing at the edge of the field are like a forest, each one plump and exuding a fragrant aroma.
Ah Man was directing them, dividing them into several groups, and they were harvesting quickly!
Chen Tiansheng walked over, plucked a millet stalk, examined it for a while, and then gently peeled it off with his hand.
A thread-like substance, resembling hemp fiber, was peeled off.
I tugged at it, and it didn't break.
This demonstrates its exceptional resilience.
"Our people will have clothes to wear from now on!"
He smiled, peeled off all the filaments, and finally put them away.
With a pinch of two fingers, the pole snapped.
"The pole can be used as fuel or for other purposes!" Chen Tiansheng said, then walked forward.
"Greetings, Master Chen!!" Ah Man, who was busy at work, immediately put down the chestnuts in her hand and bowed to Chen Tiansheng as he approached.
"Mm." Chen Tiansheng nodded.
"How many people have you hired in the past six months?" he asked.
"More than eight hundred people!"
"Including the original number of people!"
"A total of 1,100 people!"
“I registered them all.”
"And accommodations have been arranged!" Aman said, taking out several animal hides and handing them over.
Chen Tiansheng took it, read it, and then put it away.
"The original warehouse is already full of grain!"
"No more grain can be stored!"
"I've had several larger warehouses built to store grain!" Aman said, pointing to several newly built giant warehouses next to the houses in the distance.
"So, this is the second crop?" Chen Tiansheng glanced at it and asked.
“Three batches!” Aman said.
"Three harvests?" Chen Tiansheng was stunned.
"Three batches ripened in just six months?"
"Mm." Aman nodded.
"Then how many times a year do chestnuts ripen in this world?" he asked again.
"This world?"
"Isn't Master Chen from this world?"
"That's so weird!" Ah Man chuckled.
"Our people live deep in the mountains and forests!"
"They rarely go out!"
"Isn't it normal to ask that?" Chen Tiansheng said.
“It’s normal, it’s normal,” Aman said.
"It seems that the Han Chinese have never grown millet."
“I don’t know much about it!” she said.
"Mm." Chen Tiansheng nodded.
“The area where we live is not suitable for growing millet.”
"There was no planting."
"Instead, they planted other crops!"
"Such as wheat, soybeans, rice, etc."
"Wheat and soybeans?" Aman was a little confused.
These were the first crops she had ever heard of.
"Um."
"Each grain is smaller than a chestnut!"
"But it's also very delicious!"
"The downside is that it matures after that."
"You can't eat it directly!"
"It needs to be processed with tools until it is cooked."
"Only then can it be eaten."
"Oh!!" Aman nodded.
"Then I'll tell Master Chen about chestnuts!"
"This is one of the staple foods of various ethnic groups!"
"In addition to these, there are grains, and crispy foods, etc."
"But these crops are suited to growing in southern regions."
"There are almost none in the North!"
"Chestnuts have no geographical restrictions!"
"Suitable for growing in various regions!"
"But compared to grains and crispy pastries!"
"Its growth rate is relatively slow!"
"It only ripens twice a year!"
"That means two harvests a year!" she said.
"Then why did we harvest three crops of chestnuts in just six months?"
"At this rate, six harvests a year is no problem at all," Chen Tiansheng said.
"This is exactly what I wanted to tell Master Chen."
“Chen, come with me!” she said.
"Mm." Chen Tiansheng nodded.
Immediately, he followed Aman towards the Spirit River.
Beside the Ling River, dozens of lush, green poplar trees stand tall.
Strangely, its leaves are not poplar leaves, but willow leaves, emitting a faint fragrance.
A group of fully evolved beast-woman were collecting water droplets that had slid down from willow leaves using small bottles.
"Ah Yao!" Ah Man called out, and a tall woman with fair skin and two pointed ears immediately turned around.
A pair of white ones, dazzling to the eye.
"Sister Aman, you've arrived!" She walked with a cat-like gait, the meager amount of animal skin around her waist rising and falling with each step, which was quite captivating.
Although Chen Tiansheng gradually got used to the way people dressed in this world.
But this woman named A Yao has evolved so completely.
But this is the first time I've seen it.
Her figure and gait kept assaulting his eyes, making his mouth dry and his breathing somewhat rapid.
Take a deep breath and forcefully suppress your anger.
"Who is this?!" As they approached, A Yao looked at Chen Tiansheng and asked A Man.
“That’s Master Chen, the owner of the base!” Aman said.
"Is he Master Chen?"
"So young, and yet so fully evolved?" Ah Yao exclaimed in surprise.
"You haven't even paid your respects yet!" Aman said.
"A Yao greets Master Chen!" A Yao knelt down before Chen Tiansheng.
"Thank you for taking me in, Master Chen!"
"It gave us a place to stay!"
"I can never repay your kindness!"
"I wish to follow you for the rest of my life!"
"For use at your disposal!!"
