Time passed by quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was the autumn after the clan was reunited, which was July 1963 in the animal calendar.

There is no solar or lunar calendar in this world. There are only 12 months in a year and 30 days in a month, regardless of the size of the month.

In other words, there are only 360 days in a year.

Spring is from January to March, summer is from April to June, autumn is from July to September, and snow season is from October to December.

Zhu Yuanyuan found this time division quite strange when she first heard about it. Is such a simple and crude division really accurate? If it doesn’t snow on the first day of the snow season, or if it doesn’t stop snowing on the last day, what if it starts snowing directly until spring?

Zhu Aniang said this at the time, "No, the snow season does not mean that it snows for three months in a row. Sometimes it snows a few days later, and sometimes it stops snowing later, but this is rare."

As long as you don't go to the extreme north, you won't encounter it.

How should I put it? There are too few measures to keep warm. It is difficult to survive in the extreme north with just firewood and animal skins. Unless they are a cold-resistant race, no orcs will go there to make their home.

After staying there for a long time, Zhu Yuanyuan felt that this was not a bad idea. There was no need to remember complicated solar terms, and it was suitable for people who don't like to use their brains.

Like her!

But these are not important. What is important is that the first crop of potatoes and sweet potatoes planted after the union can be harvested.

After all, the spring season was delayed this year, so the planting was a little late, and the harvest was naturally late. We were afraid that we wouldn't be able to plant the second season, so everyone attached great importance to this autumn harvest. Almost the whole family went out to the fields early in the morning.

Bai Danian gave the order and everyone rushed into the fields to get busy. In less than a day, the potatoes and sweet potatoes were collected into the public storage room.

There are so many people but so little land, that’s how efficient it is.

Bai Danian was very happy when he saw the food piled up in the two storage rooms. "There is so much food. If you save a little, you can eat it for half the snow season."

"Chief," Zhu Shan had to remind him, "you have to leave more seeds, otherwise what will you plant next year?"

"Ah, I almost forgot," Bai Danian sighed with a bright smile on his face, "It was planted too late this year. If it had been planted earlier, it would have been harvested in May, and another crop could be planted in June. ".z.

"There is nothing we can do about it," Zhu Shan was also very sorry, but it was still good to have gained something. He said excitedly, "I will give a few to each family tonight, so that the rabbit beasts can also taste the taste of potatoes and sweet potatoes. .”

The potatoes and sweet potatoes left over from last year had been divided long before the clan was reunited, leaving only carefully selected seeds. As a result, the rabbit-beast people had only heard that these two foods tasted good and had rarely tasted them.

Even he hasn't eaten it for several months, and he still misses it.

"That's great," Tu Qing nodded happily after hearing this, "Then I have to give it a try."

Zhu Yuanyuan was thinking that if she eats too much potatoes and sweet potatoes, she will get tired of them, so it’s time to add new foods.

Rice and wheat are all in the husk, so it is a bit difficult to grow, so it is better to grow corn.

Whether it is boiled, stir-fried, fried or dried and ground into corn flour, it can fill your stomach and taste good.

It was such a happy decision.

A few days later, Zhu Yuanyuan went out with the collection team to collect herbs. In a small valley, she found the corn she had seen in the Beast God. She was so happy that she hurriedly called her friends and announced to everyone that she had found something good.

These were mature, unpicked corn plants that she specially bought. It took a long time to plant hundreds of them, and they had to be disguised as wild. It can be said that it took a lot of effort.

It is precisely because of the trouble that she has not handed over new food in these years.

Tu Yuan stared at the strange-shaped corn, "How do you eat this? Can you peel off the skin and eat it directly?"

"Well, if you want to eat it raw, you can eat it raw," Zhu Yuanyuan, a democratic person, reminded her smoothly, "It's very sweet when cooked, and you can also peel it and fry it."

Forget about deep-frying, everyone finds it troublesome, so why not just make grilled corn and slather it with a thick layer of sauce?

Suck it, your mouth is almost watering.

"Come on, everyone," Zhu Yuanyuan raised her arms, "Break the corn back and let the clan leader taste it. It's delicious and can be planted next year."

Only when you grow your own food can you eat it for a long time.

.

Everyone responded, "Let's go, break the corn~"

A swarm of bees rushed up, quickly broke off the corn and threw it into the basket, and picked all the corn in a few minutes.

"Although the harvest in the past two days is not big, now that we have corn, let's go back early," Tu Yuan announced.

"Okay~" everyone cheered, "I have been gathering herbs for several months without rest every day, and now I can finally take a breath."

Thank you corn, thank you big cub for discovering corn.

It was quite surprising that the herb collection team returned to the valley less than half a day after leaving. The orc guarding the valley entrance on the right joked, "You guys came back not long ago, but the weather is not right today?"

"No," Tu Yuan waved his hand and replied without any concealment, "Yuan Yuan found a new food called corn. She said it was okay to see animals eating it. Let's pick it back and show it to the clan leaders."

"New food!" Bai Chu was shocked when he heard this. His eyes fell on the bamboo baskets carried by everyone in the herb collection team. He was so excited that he couldn't speak clearly, "Is it this kind of yellow-yellow-green stuff?"

"Yes, you can eat it after peeling off the skin," Tu Yuan said with a smile.

He hurried back and didn't think about trying one for himself. He just wanted to tell everyone the news as soon as possible.

Bai Chu was very happy, "This is a good thing. Go and tell the clan leader. By the way, the clan leader is also out of the valley. If you need anything, you have to go to the second or third clan leader."

"Oh," Tu Yuan nodded frequently, "Let's go now."

A group of about ten people went to the home of Zhu Shan, the second clan leader, but in vain. They went to the home of Tu Qing, the third clan leader, but still found no one.

Tu Yuan was confused, "Why aren't you here?"

In order to make it easier for everyone to find people, the three clan leaders all live in a cave near the entrance of the valley on the right. There are people staying at home every day, but today they can't find any of them.

"Could it be in the storage room?" Zhu Yuanyuan guessed blindly.

Seeing so many potatoes and sweet potatoes, the clan leaders were so excited that they probably stayed in the storage room and refused to move.

Tu Yuan was awakened, "Yes, yes, they must be there."

So he turned to the public storage room and successfully found the second and third clan leaders lingering there.

"Second Clan Leader, Third Clan Leader," Tu Yuan shouted loudly.

"Shh!" Zhu Shan made a silent gesture, "We are counting this year's harvest."

Zhu Yuanyuan was curious, "How to count?"

"Don't ask, just watch," Zhu Shan said with a tigerish face, "Don't disturb us."

"Okay~" Zhu Yuanyuan closed her mouth and opened her eyes to carefully observe the movements of the two clan leaders.

The so-called sorting is to move the potatoes one by one from the left to the right, while moving, saying, "One, two, three..."

Tu Qing counted from one to ten thousand, and Zhu Shan wrote down with a serious face, "The ninth one is ten thousand."

Zhu Yuanyuan, "..." Oh my god, we have to count until how long!

However, there is no such thing as a scale in this world. In the past, meat was divided based on its size and weight. Potatoes and sweet potatoes were distributed directly by the number. It was normal to count them this way.

The two clan leaders probably realized that this was too time-consuming and of no use. After counting for another half an hour, they stopped and Tu Qingqing said softly, "What's wrong with A Yuan?"
