With the hot and fragrant breakfast in front of him, Hu Yin didn't have the time to see if Zhu He had gone far, so he immediately took the pottery and went home.
Zhu Yuanyuan was shocked, "Master, are you just leaving like this?"
"Ang~ How can we go if we don't go like this?" Hu Yin said without turning around, "You two hurry up and dig potatoes. It happened that the herb collection team sent few herbs last night. You won't come back to work until the sun comes out. Late."
"Isn't it better to work before the sun comes out?" Zhu Yuanyuan chased after the master unwillingly, "The sooner the sun comes out, the sooner you can work."
Hu Yin sneered and said, "Okay, then you can go dig potatoes after drying the herbs."
"What, you have to go now?" Zhu Yuanyuan turned around urgently, "Okay, who made you the master? I have to be obedient and go now."
He walked out of the door like a gust of wind, not forgetting to say hello, "Brother Ashi, hurry up and get to work while it's still early. We have to do more work and we can't be lazy."
Shiraishi, "Slow down, wait until I close the door."
Although the door was open and no one went in to steal anything, the wooden door could be closed with a pull, and it didn't take much effort to close it smoothly.
The two of them had to go out not long after they returned to the valley. They felt somewhat helpless. However, Grandpa He was right. The autumn harvest was a big deal. If potatoes, sweet potatoes and other agricultural products were not returned to the public storage room in time, what would happen when the snow season came?
Of the tens of thousands of people in the tribe, less than one-fifth can go out hunting. It is not enough to rely on just these people to hunt and stock up on meat for the snow season. Even if the harvest of the entire autumn by the gathering team is included, it will not be enough.
The harvest from the fields is very important. As a member of the river valley tribe, it is necessary to contribute within your ability.
Zhu Yuanyuan and Bai Shi came to the exit of the valley and boarded their small wooden boat. They suddenly realized that they had forgotten to bring a bone hoe, and they suddenly realized that they had made a mistake. "How can I dig potatoes without a bone hoe?"
He almost turned around and went back to get it, but Zhu He held the boat and caught up, "What's going on? You want to run away again halfway?"
"Grandpa He, what did you say?" Zhu Yuanyuan said angrily, "Let's go back and get the bone hoe."
"Whatever you can take," Zhu He said with a straight face, "You don't need a bone hoe to pick up potatoes or transport them."
Zhu Yuanyuan thought it made sense, and Bai Shi continued to row forward.
"Grandpa He," Zhu Yuanyuan sat in the stern of the boat chatting, "I heard that the potatoes this year are quite big, so everyone can share more."
"They were planted early this year, and they will grow longer. Of course they are bigger than last year." Zhu He became energetic when he mentioned this, and his old face burst into laughter. "I dug a few plants, and they produced a lot of fruit. The largest one was enough." It’s as big as my fist.”
Zhu Yuanyuan took a look at the old patriarch's hand. It was indeed quite big. A fist might be as big as hers.
It is easier to cut small potatoes into cubes and slice them, and it is better to cut large potatoes into shreds. In the future, you don’t have to hide and tuck the hot and sour shredded potatoes, and it will be fine if others see you.
By the way, both potatoes and sweet potatoes can be made into vermicelli, which is easy to store. If you have a lot of them, you can make some potato starch and sweet potato starch and save them for when you want to eat them.
The more I thought about it, the hotter my heart became, and I couldn't help but giggle.
"Yuanyuan," Zhu He asked probingly, "Why are you smiling so happily? Did something good happen to you?"
"It's not a good thing," Zhu Yuanyuan came back to her senses and touched her nose and said awkwardly, "I just thought that baked potatoes are delicious and there are fried potato chips. I heard that the potatoes grew bigger and I was happy."
"Oh~" Zhu He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't find a flaw, so he could only put it aside without exploring it, and encouraged with a smile, "Come on, you will have a lot of harvest this year, and the leader will taste the sweetness. Next year, there will definitely be more seeds." Many."
"It's just troublesome to divide them," Shiraishi said worriedly. "Last year, it took me most of the day just to divide the potatoes and sweet potatoes."
Zhu Yuanyuan's face was distorted when she recalled the scene at that time. She didn't understand arithmetic and her efficiency in dividing things was horribly low. However, she couldn't stand up to help because she couldn't explain it.
How low is it?
The more harvest you get, the slower it will be divided. Because you don’t know how much each person should get, you can only divide it in small amounts in turns. The Dashi Terrace can’t accommodate tens of thousands of people, so it will be divided according to families.
Each family sends
The representatives stood there in a row, and then estimated how many potatoes and sweet potatoes they would share first. After dividing one round, see how many are left, and then proceed to the second round.
In fact, this is not fair. After all, potatoes and sweet potatoes come in different sizes. If you divide them individually, someone will definitely suffer. The person who divides the portions can only try to be as fair as possible to prevent one person or a certain family from suffering too much.
Zhu Yuanyuan directly asked her father to help her get her share. She watched the excitement for a while. After waiting, she couldn't stand it any longer and ran away quickly. If she waited until it was over, she might have to wait until she fell asleep.
There will be more harvest this year, and the harvest will only take longer. Not to mention that the tribe's population will increase in the future, and more and more things will be grown. By then...
Hiss, I feel terrible just thinking about it. No, I have to find a way to solve this problem.
According to Zhu Yuanyuan, what she means is to let the people in the tribe learn to count, learn addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, so as to improve the efficiency of dividing things. The question is, how should she explain why she does this?
Full of confusion, Zhu Yuanyuan and Bai Shi followed Zhu He to a potato field. There were not many orcs working in this field, most of them were females, and only a few males were busy picking and moving.
The males are not lazy, but they have little experience in farm work and are very strong. If they are not careful, they will dig up the potatoes.
After all, they have been cultivated for several years. Everyone has discovered that potatoes and sweet potatoes are not tolerant after their skin is broken, so they can only be eaten as soon as possible. In order not to dig up too much, they can only let the males with rough hands and feet kill them.
Zhu Yuanyuan was also very strong, but she had experience digging potatoes. Seeing that there were several bone hoes lying beside the ground, she simply went to get one to dig.
"Be careful, don't dig the potatoes," Zhu He warned worriedly.
"Okay~" Zhu Yuanyuan waved the bone hoe and said arrogantly, "How can a smart person like me not be able to handle it? Just watch!"
She picked up the hoe and dug in, quickly digging out several round potatoes.
"Wait a minute," Zhu He took a closer look, then reached out to pick it up and inspect it carefully, clearly showing his distrust of someone.
Zhu Yuanyuan was so angry that she laughed, "Grandpa He, why are you like this? I've dug a lot of medicinal herbs, so why don't you have any sense of propriety?"
Being questioned on her face, her heart felt so cold that she wanted to throw down the bone pick and run away.
Huh, she's not willing to dig potatoes yet.
"Be careful, don't dig the potatoes," Zhu He warned worriedly.
"Okay~" Zhu Yuanyuan waved the bone hoe and said arrogantly, "How can a smart person like me not be able to handle it? Just watch!"
She picked up the hoe and dug in, quickly digging out several round potatoes.
