After the seeds were planted, Yang Cheng asked someone to pour some water on them.
Shui Yangcheng didn't dare to water it too much because he didn't know much about the habits of this millet, and he was afraid that something unexpected would happen if he watered it too much.
After the seeds were planted, Yang Cheng had wooden stakes erected nearby and a simple fence made of vines on top.
This wall is not used to protect against ferocious beasts, but to protect against children in the tribe who like to play.
Once the farming is over, the current things are gone, and all that's left is waiting.
Yang Cheng arranged for a member of the Life Department to patrol from time to time, and then seeing that it was getting late, he prepared to take everyone to dinner.
Arrive at the big room that serves as both a kitchen and a canteen.
Yang Cheng was surprised not to see Xia's figure.
In the past, she was the busiest person in the kitchen, because among ordinary people, Xia was the only one who was a totem warrior, with the power of a totem and a strong body.
Xia, on the other hand, has a lot of sense of responsibility and does everything by herself, so she is very busy every time.
"Yangbei, where's Xia?"
Yang Cheng asked Yang Bei, who was in charge of the new tribe.
Yang Bei is responsible for the communication between the Xin tribe and Xia. Before cooking every day, Xia will tell Yang Bei the required ingredients, and then Yang Bei will tell other Xin tribe members.
Yangbei replied respectfully: "Witch, the witch went to pick wild fruits today."
Yang Cheng frowned slightly: "Picking wild fruits?"
Yang Bei said: "That's right. Yesterday, the hunting team said they found a newly grown fruit tree. They went there with a few totem warriors at noon in the summer."
"Oh, it happened, I remembered it."
Yang Cheng suddenly said: "Xia also said something to me at noon, right?"
Yangbei nodded: "Yes, Wu, you were teaching us how to sow millet at that time. You said yes to the witch and let her go on her own."
Yang Cheng asked again: "Well, the fruit trees are not far away. Why hasn't Xia come back yet?"
"It's a bit far. It's on the road we go to the quarry. If we walked there and picked fruits, it would be normal for us not to come back yet..."
As Yang Bei spoke, his voice suddenly weakened, and he seemed to realize something was wrong.
He himself was an ordinary person, and it was normal for him to go there at his speed and not come back yet, but Xia was a witch, and those who went with her were totem warriors.
Totem warriors are several times faster than them.
If he followed the Totem Warrior's speed, he should be back by now.
Then, Xia and those totem warriors haven't come back yet...
Not only Yang Bei noticed the clues, but others also noticed something was wrong.
"Wu, Xia, Xia, nothing will happen to her, right?"
Lulu grabbed Yang Cheng's arm tightly and said worriedly.
Yang Cheng's face also darkened, feeling that something was wrong. He immediately gave an order: "Hongya, go and call Yanhu and Cangshi. Let's go find Xia and the others."
"good."
Hongya looked solemn and went out without saying much.
After a while, more than thirty totem warriors of the Qingque Tribe gathered at the wall of the Qingque Tribe.
Although it is already the beginning of spring, the temperature at night is still a bit low.
Yang Cheng put on a thick winter coat, rode on the mud ox, and looked at the many totem warriors breathing and exhaling without saying much.
"Walk."
Yang Cheng held the tripe of the mud cow with both hands and took the lead to leave the gate of the wall.
Just at this time.
There was a sound of footsteps and voices outside the wall.
Immediately, he saw the witch Xia riding on a small long-nosed elephant, followed by a larger long-nosed elephant.
There are many netted pockets on the back of the long-nosed elephant, which are filled with green wild fruits that look like they have just grown.
Behind this big long-nosed elephant, there are several other totem warriors, each carrying several large netted wild fruits on their shoulders.
After entering the fence, they were a little surprised when they saw that the long-nosed elephant in front of them suddenly stopped walking. Then they couldn't help but raise their heads, and then they saw Yang Cheng and a group of totem warriors who had gathered together with serious faces, as if they were about to start a war. …
Xia and several totem warriors were stunned.
Yang Cheng was also stunned.
The two sides looked at each other through the air for several seconds. During this period, the air seemed to freeze.
After a while, Xia reacted first.
"Witch? What are you doing?"
Xia blinked her big eyes and asked.
Yang Cheng reacted to Xia's questioning. Instead of answering her question, he asked: "Xia, what's the matter with you? Why are you back so late?"
"Pick fruit."
Xia opened her cute big eyes and said: "Didn't I tell you Wu at noon? The tribe's fruits have disappeared a long time ago. Yesterday, I heard from the hunting team that they found a newly grown wild fruit tree. I went over and picked some for them. The proboscis elephants hadn’t eaten for a long time, so I picked them for them to eat.”
After spending a month or two with the Qingque tribe members, the proboscis elephant seems to be able to understand what the Qingque tribe people are saying.
Hearing Xia say this, the long-nosed elephant she was riding on made a "moo" sound and curled its nose, as if to praise Xia.
"As for coming back late, it's because I picked too much fruit."
Xia pointed to the densely packed fruits hanging on the big long-nosed elephant behind him.
Okay, false alarm.
Yang Cheng waved his hand and told the totem warriors behind him to disperse and go about their business.
Then he asked the new tribe members to remove the fruits from the long-nosed elephant, and then took the long-nosed elephant away.
Yan Lin waited for the other beast-eared girls to go up and helped Xia down from the little proboscis. During this period, Lulu whispered a few words into Xia's ear.
Only then did Xia understand why such a large group of people had gathered behind the wall gate just now. It turned out that Yang Cheng was worried about her and was going to take people to find her.
Immediately, Xia's heart felt as sweet as eating honey.
However, seeing Yang Cheng's serious face, Xia couldn't help but feel worried.
"Witch...I, I was wrong...I shouldn't have come back so late..."
Xia walked up to Yang Cheng obediently, hesitating.
Yang Cheng had a straight face and felt that he wanted to teach Xia a lesson.
"What did I tell you before?"
"Wu, you said you couldn't come back too late. You said you had to come back before dark."
"Then you're coming back so late? Huh?!"
"I... I saw that there was no more fruit in the tribe, so I wanted to pick more... and then I came back..."
"Still quibbling?!"
"Wu, I, wuwu..."
Xia felt aggrieved, her big eyes filled with tears unconsciously.
This made Yang Cheng a little dumbfounded.
He just wanted to scare Xia and teach her a lesson, but he forgot that Xia was a witch who loved to cry...
There was no other way, Yang Cheng sighed, being turned against the guest.
"Oh, okay, okay, forget it this time, but not next time."
Yang Cheng hugged Xia into his arms and comforted her.
"Wuwuwu... Wu... don't worry, there won't be a next time for me."
Xia cried in Yang Cheng's arms.
But why did Yang Cheng feel something was wrong? The lines he and Xia just said sounded like something from a TV series.
The storm over Xia Huiwan's incident was over.
Under Yang Cheng's questioning, Xia obediently admitted her mistake and promised not to be late next time when she comes back.
But this also reminded Yang Cheng of something he should have done long ago.
It’s about transplanting fruit trees.
The transplantation of fruit trees involves changes in the tribe's existing dietary structure.
The existing diet structure of the tribe has undergone major changes. Now there are not only the original barbecues, but also a variety of foods.
The successful making of clay pots brings boiled meat, boiled fish, salted dried meat, dried fish, rice made from millet, and cooked vegetables.
Well, this cooking is cooking wild vegetables.
After accepting the knowledge that weeds are edible, the spontaneous power of foodies is unimaginable. After the beginning of spring, dense weeds grow on the ground.
The people of the Qingque tribe would dig some wild vegetables from the ground when they had nothing to do, put them in a clay pot, boil them, and then put them in their mouths.
After successfully hurting the stomachs of several tribesmen, Yang Cheng finally discovered the matter in time.
Regarding the fact that everyone can spontaneously search for wild vegetables.
Yang Cheng was greatly relieved. Seeing this situation, he was no longer required to be the Shennong clan member.
But at the same time, Yang Cheng made huge criticisms of everyone's behavior!
He specially called everyone together, issued a notice and criticized the tribesmen who had stomachaches, and then issued an order prohibiting the tribesmen from eating unfamiliar weeds privately in the future.
Any weed must be tested before you try to eat it.
After all, this is an attack method that attacks the inside of a person indiscriminately. Even if a totem warrior eats poisonous weeds, he will still die, so he has to be cautious.
As for how to experiment, it's very simple.
Find a weed that you have never seen before, and let it eat it first. If it has no problem after eating it, then give it to the long-nosed elephant. After eating it, the long-nosed elephant has no problem, and then give it to the four-legged chickens raised in captivity. After eating chicken feet, there are no problems, so people try to eat a little bit, but only a little bit. If there are any problems, they must stop.
that's all.
After rigorous experiments, after making the cows, long-nosed elephants and four-legged chickens languished.
Finally, Yang Cheng added two more wild vegetables to the Qingque tribe. In the future, the tribe can put these picked wild vegetables in when cooking meat, or if they feel their appetite is a bit tired, they can just cook some wild vegetables to eat.
Or just have a wild vegetable omelette.
Well, yes, the Qingque tribe can now lay eggs by itself, but not many, just a few, which are exclusive to Yang Cheng.
These eggs are those laid by four-legged chickens.
Four-legged chickens lay very few eggs.
Because the number of four-legged chickens is not large, no more than ten four-legged chickens were caught throughout the winter.
Yang Cheng guessed that this might be due to hibernation. In the past few days, he had asked the hunting team to pay attention to the movement of four-legged chickens. If there were four-legged chickens, they could capture some and bring them back.
In addition to the above, the Qingque tribe eats most wild fruits.
Before Yang Cheng came, what the people of the Qingque tribe ate the most was wild fruits.
This thing is safer and simpler than hunting ferocious beasts. It grows on trees and can be picked if you know how to climb a tree.
However, the people of the Qingque tribe did not like to eat wild fruits at that time, because although wild fruits can satisfy hunger, eating too much will cause acidosis in the stomach, and eating wild fruits is not as filling as eating meat. strength.
But now, Yang Cheng has been here for more than half a year.
If you ask the Qingque tribe members what they want to eat most right now, yes, it’s wild fruits.
For the Qingque tribe who have eaten all autumn and winter, putting a bowl of boiled meat in front of them, not to mention that the smell of birds fades away, is almost abhorrent.
Even if delicious salt is added every time, if they eat broth for a long time and now give them chicken soup, it will be poisonous.
If it weren't for replenishing physical energy, Yang Cheng believed that no clan member would be willing to drink it every day.
So from this perspective, think about it this way.
Xia came back late from picking wild fruits today. It seems that she shouldn't be blamed.
"Click."
Yang Cheng picked up a wild fruit from the ground, wiped it, put it in his mouth and bit it.
The bitter taste immediately soaked his taste buds.
"Pooh!"
Yang Cheng spit out the fruit in his mouth again.
Xia Zheng grabbed a wild fruit and was nibbling it carefully. When he heard the sound, he turned his head and saw Yang Cheng spitting the fruit on the ground and said, "Wu, what's wrong? Isn't it delicious? Give me this for you." This one tastes better to me.”
With that said, Xia handed the fruit in his hand to Yang Cheng.
Yang Cheng looked at the wild fruit in Xia's hand. It was green, a little hard, and had two rows of small teeth marks from Xia on it.
"No, you continue to eat."
Yang Cheng refused Xia's wild fruit and touched her head.
Then he looked at the other tribesmen.
The tribesmen gathered around to eat wild fruits. The fruits in everyone's hands were green, unripe, and hard.
However, every tribesman gnawed it with joy, because they had not tasted the taste of wild fruits for a long time.
This made Yang Cheng feel that planning an orchard was even more necessary.
He stood up, waved his hand to silence, and announced his decision.
Orchard is a new term. Just like every time a new term is mentioned before, everyone is confused and looks at each other.
But they all knew that Yang Cheng was giving them something new.
As a result, they immediately became excited and cheered.
for the rest of the time.
Yang Cheng mobilized most of the tribesmen and started transplanting fruit trees.
Of course, the transplantation of fruit trees will not be transplantation of fruit trees that have grown into big trees. That would be too slow, but it is very easy to die after transplantation.
Therefore, what the Qingque Tribe can transplant are only small saplings.
Although it may take some time for the saplings to grow into big trees, this autumn, the Qingque tribe still cannot eat wild fruits.
However, trees grow very fast. If you don’t eat it this year, you will always eat it next year and the year after that. And once you eat it, you will eat it every year.
This kind of profit-making thing is certainly worth doing!
It is not difficult to find fruit tree saplings. The thing is to look for them in fruit forests. The virgin forest is so big and there are many fruit trees.
As for the others, Yang Cheng found a high slope with pleasant lighting and arranged for them to start digging holes here.
Still the same old rules.
Yang Cheng handed Mai a stick, which was about two meters long.
Every time when Mai digs a new hole, he will measure it on the ground with a stick, and only let people dig the distance as long as the stick.
