Chapter 344 Xin Tribe Departure (Recommend a book called Nightmare Erosion)
The tribesmen came to Luo Chong's door with a lot of shouting, all wanting to get a portion of the food made of wheat, but the quantity was very limited. There were more than 500 households in Hanyang City, and the leavened dough weighed only 6 jin in total. Even if Luo Chong made a small pancake, it was not enough to share with so many people.
Fortunately, there was a piece of noodles made of highland barley dough. In order to facilitate the distribution to everyone and make the noodles taste better, Luo Chong did not make simple boiled noodles, but made a large pot of fried noodles with eggs, so that those who did not get pancakes had a chance to taste it.
"Wow, is this food made of wheat? How did the wheat grains that look like rice become like this? It looks delicious." A tribe member picked up a few noodles with chopsticks and said in surprise.
"Hehe, you don't know this, right? I heard that this wheat must be ground into powder before it can be eaten. After the flour is ground and added with water, it can be made into various shapes just like making bricks with mud." Another tribe member standing next to him said.
"No, no, no, it's not what you said. I just heard from the leader that this wheat can also be cooked and eaten directly. It can be mixed with rice to make porridge, but it can't be used to make wheat rice. So grinding it into flour is to be able to come up with more ways to eat it." Another half-grown child explained to them.
"I said, are you going to eat it or not? There are so many people waiting behind. The noodles will be cold soon, and our children haven't eaten it yet." Just as the people in front were commenting on the noodles, a woman who was queuing with her child in the back was not happy. The child couldn't help but start making trouble after hearing the adults say that the noodles were so delicious.
The people in the front ran to the side immediately after being scolded by the fierce woman, and then continued to study the various benefits of noodles. The woman behind also hurriedly took her child to get her own share.
Luo Chong stood at the door of his house happily and watched all this. The promotion of leavened pancakes and noodles was undoubtedly very successful. The tribesmen were very interested in new food such as flour, or they were interested in any food, but wheat was different.
This is the second crop suitable for staple food after the Han tribe planted rice. It is not as water-consuming as rice. Although the growth cycle is one month longer than rice, it is still a very promising crop.
It is no exaggeration to say that with wheat, the Han tribe will have more food, and if it can be rotated with rice, the yield of these two crops will also be greatly improved.
With more food, life will naturally get better and better. Who would not like to no longer be hungry? The tribesmen can all look forward to a better life in the future from wheat. What they don’t know is that while they were competing to tell each other for wheat flour, Luo Chong had already started breeding for two other new crops.
But there was another thing that Luo Chong did not expect, that is, someone had already delivered the corn and soybeans he wanted to his door, and also sent some other good things, which was unexpected for Luo Chong, otherwise he would not have planted corn and soybeans in his own yard.
The tribe that sent the grain seeds was the Xin tribe located at the northwest end of the Bamboo Island. Although they had already made a small cart operated by two people and a tall animal-powered cart made of bamboo, it was just a large toy model at best.
Because their ox carts, whether wheels or axles, were all made of bamboo, haha, it was simply a joke. Just a hollow bamboo tube wanted to support the load of the entire vehicle. I'm afraid that if two or three people sat on it, the car would collapse.
However, it was precisely because of these problems that the Xin tribe paid more attention to the suggestion made by the captain of the caravan, that is, to exchange grain seeds with the Han tribe for vehicle samples, or directly for the plan of car manufacturing technology.
Elder Shang knew that this was a good opportunity to make a great contribution, so he naturally did not dare to neglect it. He specially transferred the new grain that had just been harvested this year from the official warehouse of the Xin tribe, and then asked people to select the better quality grain as seeds to trade with the Han tribe.
As for whether the Xin tribe would suffer losses in this way? This was totally out of Elder Shang's consideration. His goal was to exchange an ox cart from the Han tribe. As for how much he had to pay, did it have anything to do with him? Anyway, they were all public property of the tribe and had nothing to do with him.
On the contrary, if he succeeded in this matter, he would be able to obtain a large number of rewards from the leader. I dare not say anything else, but there would definitely be a lot of cattle and sheep. With cattle and sheep, his own family could live better, plant more fields, and raise more livestock.
People began to have selfish desires and began to think for themselves. This is the drawback that arises after the implementation of private ownership for a period of time. This is fundamentally unavoidable. No matter which dynasty it is, human development will always have such a situation.
In fact, Luo Chong is still very open-minded about this kind of selfish desire. Whether it is desire or laziness, in fact, changing a way of thinking is also an inducement for human progress and development. Of course, it also depends on which aspect of desire and laziness.
For example, it is because of laziness that humans have invented various tools for laziness, thereby improving the level of human science and technology in disguise.
And desire is even simpler. Without desire, there is no motivation. For example, when a high school monk has the desire to go to Tsinghua University and Peking University, he will definitely work hard for this goal, and he will also make progress because of this desire.
In general, people are not afraid of their own desires, but they must be guided in the right direction, so that people can be motivated to achieve their goals.
Let's get back to the point. Time soon arrived at a new month. The caravan of the Xin tribe also took advantage of the ebb tide of the circular moon and came to the grassland continent from the dark road in the sea again.
There were many people coming this time, as many as 120 people, and 300 cattle and horses accompanied them. Under normal circumstances, there would not be so many people, but this time the Xin leader specially sent Elder Shang to lead the team.
Elder Shang naturally did not dare to disobey the leader's order, but within his authority, he still arranged a lot of people to protect himself. In addition, the additional cattle and horses were used to carry the goods traded with the grassland people, and the materials prepared for the Han tribe to change cars, as well as the living supplies for the entire team during the outing.
All these things added together made the whole team look relatively large. This was the first time that the Xin tribe sent out so many caravans. At the same time, their goal was to go further and look for areas where the Han tribe often moved.
The team leader who came last time had already said that because the Han tribe purchased wool from those nomadic peoples, they would definitely go to those tribes to sell them woolen cloth next time.
