Barley is a type of wheat that matures and is harvested in three months. Its yield is not high and it is not suitable for making bread, but it is rich in nutrients and is a very good staple food.
The highland barley grown in the plateau is a type of barley. Tibetans wash the highland barley, dry it, fry it, grind it into highland barley flour, and mix it with butter tea to make tsampa as their staple food.
Local eggs are a good staple food, but they have a fatal flaw, which is that they are difficult to preserve. In contrast, barley is different. After being dried, it can be stored for a long time, at least a year without any problems.
And although it can’t be used to make bread, it can be used to make flatbreads and tsampa…
Before the end of the world, Zhou Ji traveled to Tibet and ate authentic tsampa made with butter tea, which was quite delicious when paired with yak beef.
Unfortunately, you can forget about having butter tea in this place.
All mammals are in the form of beastmen, which means they can only drink human milk...
"Is this thing not delicious?" Xiong Ye was a little disappointed. He thought this thing was good, so he wanted to give it to Zhou Ji. If it didn't taste good...
"Except for earth eggs, other plants are not tasty." Bao Cheng said. He didn't know that Xiong Ye wanted to give this thing to someone, so he didn't say much...
"It's actually quite delicious." Zhou Ji was very calm: "This is the kind of food that the Beast God asked me to find."
When he came out, he made up an excuse and was planning to take the pumpkin back to report. Unexpectedly, by chance, he got the barley.
"The food the Beast God asked you to find is so small?" Xiong Qi was surprised. They were so small, how could he pick them even if they were delicious?
"You'll know after you plant it." Zhou Ji said. Barley’s yield is not high, but it is not picky about the growing environment, can be planted in large areas, and is very resistant to hunger. It’s a good thing!
Zhou Ji had a dull expression. Seeing him like this, Xiong Qi felt a little uneasy: "Great Beast God, I am not questioning you. Please forgive me."
Although the Xiaoxi tribe did not have a priest to teach them the orthodox method of worshiping the Beast God, they also believed in the Beast God - not every tribe had a priest, but everyone had contact with each other and always knew about the Beast God.
Now seeing this scene, his face was filled with shock: "Beast God?"
"Zhou Ji is the messenger of the Beast God." said Kumano.
Xiong Ye had been observing Zhou Ji's changes.
The previous priest was a gift from the Beast God to their tribe, and Zhou Ji was the gift from the Beast God to him.
The people of the Creek Tribe all had faces full of reverence.
Zhou Ji suddenly felt that he was like a charlatan.
He used similar words to fool the priest at first just to make himself feel better, but now... he is in a dilemma.
In order to make things easier for him in the future and to make his life better, he even felt the need to create a little miracle.
After all, there is a giant tiger tribe watching nearby, and he has a lot of things to do.
Sometimes, plans really can't keep up with changes.
There were many more people when he went back, but for Zhou Ji, there wasn’t much change.
Kumano still took good care of him. If he saw any interesting plants on the road, he just had to shout "stop" and everyone would stop and let him go find the plants.
All in all, he is the center of attention in the team.
The people of the Big Bear Tribe treated him like this, and so did the people of the Little Creek Tribe. When they saw him, they were all very cautious, and even wanted him to tell them something about the Beast God.
Zhou Ji: “…”
The crowd kept on moving and finally arrived at the territory of the Big Bear Tribe.
The people of the Creek Tribe had a vague feeling that something was wrong - they had always encountered many dinosaurs along the way, and because of their numbers, the dinosaurs did not dare to do anything to them. But now... why couldn't they see any dinosaurs?
Kumano felt helpless in the face of this situation.
On the road before, he had always led people to hunt and then brought the animals back to eat, but now that he was in the territory of his own tribe...it was difficult for him to catch any prey!
Fortunately, they caught a lot when they hunted before, so they don’t have to worry about going hungry now.
"Why are there no dinosaurs around your tribe?" Bao Cheng was shocked.
Zhou Ji was also helpless. A tribe's territory without dinosaurs was like a tiger living on a bare mountain or a group of lions occupying a grassland without prey. It was not only strange but even incredible.
"Our tribe does not rely on hunting for survival." Zhou Ji said.
"How are you going to survive without hunting?" Bao Cheng was puzzled.
"We planted a large area of native eggs." Zhou Ji said yes.
"How many?"
"It can feed everyone in the tribe." Zhou Ji said. In fact, compared to hunting, planting is really a very cost-effective thing. If you want to feed more people, you still have to rely on planting.
After hearing what Zhou Ji said, Bao Cheng was full of envy: "You don't even have to go hunting to get enough to eat!"
When he was first rescued by the Big Bear Tribe, Bao Cheng did not want to join the Big Bear Tribe.
But after all this time, his thoughts have completely changed.
When his people were attacked by the Giant Tiger Tribe before, many of them were injured, and later they were starved for several days... It was because of this that when they ambushed the people from the Giant Tiger Tribe, more than a dozen of them died at a time.
Some people from the Creek Tribe who were already injured were fighting desperately with the people from the Giant Tiger Tribe, so naturally they could not be saved.
After that battle, more than forty of them survived, but Bao Cheng felt that five of them would not survive for a few more days.
This was his judgment based on his past experience.
However, after meeting Zhou Ji, these people did not die!
Zhou Ji gave them black medicine to drink and bandaged their wounds, and then those who were about to die came back to life one by one!
Not only that, they also saw the power of the Big Bear Tribe.
Apart from anything else, Zhou Ji occasionally cooked something delicious, and the cooking methods he used were something they had never heard of or seen before!
Zhou Ji also knows a lot of plants and a lot of edible things...
To the people of the Xiaoxi tribe, Zhou Ji understands and knows so many things!
Zhou Ji knows so much, how powerful should the Big Bear Tribe be?
By now, Bao Cheng wants to join the Big Bear Tribe!
Living in a safe place without large dinosaurs and being able to fill his stomach without hunting was like heaven to him.
Bao Cheng and others were extremely envious.
Xiong Ye and others: "..." Their lives are not like this at all...
When they were almost at the tribe, Zhou Ji didn't let Xiong Ye carry him, but walked by himself.
Everyone was walking very fast, but Kumano was walking slowly with Zhou Ji and fell behind.
"Zhou Ji, why did you say that to the people of the Creek Tribe?" Xiong Ye asked.
"I want to keep them." Zhou Ji said.
"Why?"
"The tribe lacks labor." Zhou Ji said, "It also lacks combat effectiveness."
It was obvious that the Giant Tiger Tribe had bad intentions, and he couldn't take any action, so he could only make the people of the Big Bear Tribe stronger.
In addition, whether it is growing native eggs or barley, manpower is needed.
"Zhou Ji, you are not what I thought!" Xiong Ye couldn't help but say. At first, he thought Zhou Ji was a poor little guy who could only rely on him, but later, he gradually felt something was wrong.
This time when he went to exchange salt with Zhou Ji, he felt even more that... Zhou Ji was completely different from what he had imagined.
"Oh? Then what?" Zhou Ji looked at Kumano.
"I think you're quite cute like this." Kumano said. Zhou Ji actually knows how to lie and deceive people... He really thinks Zhou Ji is pretty cute.
"You too." Zhou Ji said seriously.
There have been so many things going on lately and he has been away from home, so he hasn’t petted a bear for a long time…
When I get back to the tribe, I must have a good time.
Just as Zhou Ji was thinking this, he heard Xiong Bai's voice: "The salt exchange team is back!"
He didn't know that Xiong Bai's voice was so loud...
Xiong Bai came out to catch little dinosaurs. He accidentally saw the salt-changing team and immediately started shouting.
The people of the Creek Tribe were startled when they heard the shouting, fearing that it would attract various dinosaurs. However, no dinosaurs were attracted. Instead, some people from the Big Bear Tribe who were catching dinosaurs outside with Xiong Bai were attracted.
Some herbivorous dinosaurs did not raise their own children, but the vast majority of dinosaurs did, especially carnivorous dinosaurs.
However, unlike mammals, dinosaurs were almost fully developed when they were born, so they did not need to be raised by their mothers for too long, especially herbivorous dinosaurs.
Even without their mother dinosaurs, many baby dinosaurs can survive on their own.
Spring is the season for reproduction. When those dinosaurs ran away, many of them already had eggs, so many little dinosaurs were hatched in the territory of the Big Bear Tribe. Although it has been a long time now and they can catch fewer and fewer, they can still catch a few that have escaped the net.
When Xiong Bai came over, he was holding a Centrosaurus cub in his hand.
The people of the Creek Tribe were stunned when they saw this scene.
The Centrosaurus is very concerned about its cubs. This is a dinosaur that is six meters long and has sharp horns on its head... The people of the Big Bear Tribe captured the Centrosaurus cub, and the mother dinosaur will definitely come to their door.
They couldn't help but be a little scared.
But seeing Xiong Bai and the others look indifferent...
The Big Bear Tribe is probably not afraid of the Centrosaurus? Maybe they captured this baby Centrosaurus on purpose in order to attract the mother dinosaur!
Bao Cheng praised Xiong Bai and said, "This little dinosaur is so fat and looks delicious. You are so awesome." The people in the Big Bear tribe were always praising each other, so he learned a little from them.
Xiong Bai: "You still say it's fat when it's so thin? I plan to go back and take good care of it and fatten it up!"
Bao Cheng: “Raise?” Raise dinosaurs? Did he hear it right?
Xiong Bai ignored him and turned to Zhou Ji, "Zhou Ji, we already have more than a hundred dinosaurs!"
Bao Cheng: The Big Bear Tribe actually raised more than a hundred dinosaurs? !
