Chapter 283
In order to plant seeds, the tribe reduced the number of warriors sent out for patrol and hunting by half, trying to keep the limited manpower.
Qi Zheng was standing next to Yu Sui, holding a potato in his hand. He was confused when he saw Dahua coming with the tiger warriors.
Yu Sui was also confused. He raised his hand as a greeting, "Dahua? What are you doing..."
You shouldn't be so impatient as to plan to leave, and it's not in this direction. Besides, it's only been a few days, and there are still more than twenty days left before the agreed month.
He was a little confused about Dahua's intentions. Fortunately, the Tiger Tribe was not one to beat around the bush. Dahua said with a hearty smile, "We have nothing to do. You guys are going to plant beans, so we're here to help."
"How can this be embarrassing," Yu Sui widened his eyes. How could someone volunteer to farm? If he wasn't afraid of going hungry, he wouldn't want to do such tiring work.
The tigers behind Dahua looked curiously at Blue and Jerry.
"With the Minotaur, they will definitely be able to grow the crops." Bai patted Dahua's shoulder excitedly.
Another female tiger said regretfully, "It's a pity the minotaurs refused to help us. The slaves sent by the humans acted like rat beasts when they saw us, and couldn't speak clearly. The climate on the human continent is different from that in the kingdom. When we planted the crops a few years ago, many of the seeds either rotted or were frozen early."
It turns out that the Minotaur were not completely neutral, and the Kingdom had once sought their help in farming, but was rejected.
Aren't they very lucky? Yu Sui had worried that the Tauren would reject the request of the Snow Werewolves, but he didn't expect it to go so smoothly. Even Chief Xuul took care of the Black Map Tribe in every way.
The reason might be that the Tauren still remember that the Golden Lion Tribe once trampled on the fields of the Red Grass Tribe, which makes sense.
Qi put his arm around Yu Sui's shoulders and looked straight at Dahua: "Why do you want to help us farm? Are you worried that the small orcs will escape? We snow wolves will keep an eye on them."
Before Dahua could answer, Bai and the tiger tribe nearby couldn't help laughing.
"As long as they are not stupid, they will not run away. We want to help with farming for other reasons. Um..." Bai found it difficult to say the next words.
He secretly pushed Dahua's waist, signaling him to speak.
Yu Sui and Qi's puzzled glances lingered between the two of them. Finally, Da Hua couldn't stand it anymore and said with difficulty: "Well, it's like this. We can work, and you can still cook for us like you did a few days ago..."
Bai quickly added, "We can also go hunting with you, we're not just responsible for food!"
After being mysterious for a long time, it turned out to be because of this... Yu Sui finally understood why several people hesitated for a long time before speaking out, and why the other tiger tribesmen were either looking up at the sky or looking around.
The orcs will not surrender unless they are provided with food and shelter... Yu Sui couldn't help but think of the joke he made in his previous life. He never expected that it would come true one day. He really met a group of orcs who were willing to do hard labor just to eat something good.
"...Okay, since you put it that way, there's no reason for us to refuse. I'll have the people in the cafeteria go back and cook, and you won't be short of food."
After a moment of hesitation, Yu Sui agreed.
Dahua was obviously relieved, and Bai and several tiger tribesmen cheered directly.
Is farming so joyful? Yu Sui didn’t quite understand. He had to bend over backwards for his stuttering, and the bending was quite severe.
Qi's eyes were almost filled with the word "speechless". "In that case, why don't you all come and listen in?"
The spacing, depth and even the thickness of the soil covering the potatoes after planting are very important. If the Minotaur hadn't told him, Yu Sui wouldn't have known it in such detail.
At the edge of the vast and neat fields, hundreds of orcs surrounded two tauren and listened attentively to the lecture. Apart from the orcs' very distinctive appearance, the scene looked like a lecture at an agricultural college.
Before they knew it, the two minotaurs had planted an acre of potatoes. Although they remained calm as they repeatedly taught the precautions for planting potatoes, they were a little nervous, wondering whether the cut potatoes would sprout.
Yu Sui divided the orcs into teams of ten people each. Each team consisted of several large orcs mixed with several small orcs, so that the labor force was evenly distributed.
Without any measuring instruments, Yu Sui could only roughly determine the fields that everyone was responsible for.
It was the first time for the orcs to farm. Even though they had watched the two tauren do it many times, they were still very unfamiliar with it when they really started.
How many palms' widths should be between them, how deep should they be buried, how thick should the soil be covered with... The orcs' brains were working rapidly, and their hands never stopped moving.
After all, Yu Sui still had memories of his previous life, and he had just heard Blue muttering, so he remembered most of it. He patrolled back and forth in the fields, and if anyone didn't understand, he would step forward to demonstrate, and the two minotaurs did the same.
At the beginning, the orcs were all unfamiliar with the game, which made them very tired.
Fortunately, after planting a few rows, some smart orcs had memorized the trick. After Yu Sui discovered it, he asked them to take turns teaching the other orcs who couldn't remember it.
Xiao of the Rabbit Clan learned it early, but Yu Sui looked around attentively and then left, without forcing her to teach others.
The cat and mouse tribes also learn quickly. Logically, these two races should be enemies, but unexpectedly, they have a good relationship. They are not as timid as the rabbit tribe, so they can teach other orcs in the team.
Ashan happily returned to the canteen to cook. He was in a very good mood. He didn't want to farm in the first place. He still remembered how exhausted he was when he was clearing the land last time.
However, this time is obviously much easier than last time. First, there are only enough potato seeds to plant about 8,000 acres at most. Second, the number of manpower has increased several times this time. Even if the small orcs do less work, there are more people and they can do a lot of work.
Don't underestimate them compared to the large beasts of the orcs. But even the weakest rabbit orcs can easily defeat two dwarves. Although in Yu Sui's opinion, they can only whimper...
With the help of the tiger warriors, the work speed increased a lot, saving several days than Yu Sui had expected.
During this period, in order to thank the tiger tribe for their help, Yu Sui did not go to work in the fields. Every day he was in the cafeteria thinking about making delicious food for them, making it in various ways, and then sending it to the fields.
Today we eat meat buns and fish head tofu soup, tomorrow we eat sugar-coated biscuits, chopped pepper fish head and hot and sour noodles. Yu Sui also slaughtered more than a dozen chickens and ducks from the farm and braised them for everyone to taste and see if they taste much better than wild ones.
The breeding capacity of chickens and ducks is not as good as that of rabbits. The dozens of rabbits we caught at the beginning have just given birth to a new batch after half a year. The number has increased several times, so I don’t feel bad about eating them.
