Tian Xiaoding took people out for hunting and returned with a full load. After returning to Liutai Mountain, I saw that Tao Bao and others on the village were already busy quarrying and logging wood.
However, these people do not have very useful tools in their hands. Most of the tools are made of wood, and a few tools are made of stone, which is very primitive.
After all, when most people came here, they only had sidearms with them.
Xiao Ding frowned when he saw this situation. Liutai Mountain is located deep in the Soul Burial Mountain, far away from the town. Even if you want to buy some daily necessities, it is still very difficult.
It seems that these daily tools can only be used in this way for the time being.
When Tao Bao saw Xiao Ding and others returning, he immediately greeted them excitedly and asked what they had gained from their trip.
When someone told him that he had gained a lot this time, he was equally happy from ear to ear.
That night, Xiao Ding took out wild duck, loach and wild duck eggs, plus half a bag of rice as staple food.
Before cooking, Xiao Ding asked Tao Bao to tell him to go ahead and collect all the feathers of the wild ducks when slaughtering them and save them to make down bedding. It is always better than a bedding made of thatch. .
Tao Bao would naturally readily agree to this kind of suggestion that would benefit everyone.
Because there was plenty of food, the dinner was mainly meat, and all the bandits were very excited.
Although they didn't have enough seasonings, nor were they highly skilled in cooking, even the salt was taken out by Xiao Ding from the space for them to use.
But when they thought that there would be meat to eat later, they would still have enough to eat, and their feeling of anticipation was beyond words.
The bandits did not have iron pots. The large pots they used were clay pots made of clay.
But the pottery pot was not enough to stew food for hundreds of people, so they set up multiple fires to roast meat.
At the same time, Xiao Ding also contributed the iron pot in his space to cook rice.
However, since there is so much meat, few bandits come to eat rice.
Everyone enjoyed this dinner very much. It's rare for bandits to be able to eat such rich food. In the past, even if they caught prey, they wouldn't be in large numbers. If they divided it among more than a hundred people, each person might only get a few bites.
Today is different, you can open your stomach and eat freely. What's more, most people have been doing physical work all afternoon, and their bodies need to replenish energy.
Xiao Ding and Tang Yunzhi also followed everyone and ate some duck meat and loach.
Perhaps because of the limited cooking conditions, Xiao Ding always felt that the meat of wild ducks on Kunxing today was not as delicious as the meat of pheasants. On the contrary, the loach tastes very good.
After this hunting, Xiao Ding also threw some loaches, wild ducks and wild duck eggs into his Qiankun Pot world.
In this way, in the future, he only needs to enter the world inside the pot to eat these things.
The group of pheasants he had previously placed in the world inside the pot had grown to a very large population because there were no natural enemies there. Even if Xiao Ding eats chicken there every day, it will be enough for him to eat for several years.
That night, while everyone was gathering together for dinner, Xiao Ding stood up and spoke to everyone: "Everyone, be quiet for a moment and listen to me." As soon as Xiao Ding finished speaking, Tao Bao took the lead to put down the duck in his hand. Leg meat, he clapped his hands, and the others imitated him and clapped along.
At the same time, Tao Bao also took the lead in shouting: "Welcome to the king!" Others also followed suit.
Xiao Ding waved his hand to signal everyone to quiet down, and then he continued: "Let me introduce myself first. My name is Tian Xiaoding. From today on, I am the leader of our Dazhai in Liutai Mountain. From now on, you will call me Dazhai." Just Lord, no need to call me your king."
Xiao Ding paused for a moment, and everyone immediately applauded again, shouting loudly at the same time: "It all depends on the arrangement of the leader of the village!"
Xiao Ding continued to wave his hand, and the others became quiet. Then, he continued: "Our village doesn't have a name yet, but I thought of one. Let's call it Tianyao Village. What do you think? The word "Yao" means sun, moon and stars, and "Tianyao" alludes to us. The cottage is like the sun, moon and stars in the sky, it can shine brightly. What do you think?"
As soon as Xiao Ding finished speaking, everyone clapped and cheered again, "Okay, okay, let's use this name. Our village will be called Tianyao Village from now on!"
Seeing that everyone liked the name of this copycat, Xiao Ding was also very happy. He continued: "Since our copycat already has an official name, we must do things according to the rules in the future. Later, I will draw up a copy The rules and regulations of the village, when the time comes, all of us in the village must strictly implement the rules and regulations, and we must not violate them, otherwise we will be expelled from the village and left to fend for ourselves!"
This sentence was a bit surprising to the bandits. They were used to being undisciplined. When they heard that Xiao Ding wanted to formulate some rules and regulations to restrict their daily behavior, they were a little confused.
So, someone asked: "Master Dazhai, isn't it good that we are like this now? Why do we need to formulate rules and regulations to restrain us?"
Xiao Ding, however, explained seriously: "The state has national laws, and every family has its own rules. Without rules, there is no rule. Therefore, our cottage must also have the rules of the cottage. In addition, I would like to make one point more: in the future, you should not think of yourself as a bandit. We may never rob others again. From now on, you will all be residents of our Tianyao Village, ordinary good citizens, not bandits."
"Don't become bandits? What will we eat every day from now on?" Someone immediately asked.
Xiao Ding looked at them with a smile and said: "Later, I will teach you how to fill your stomach. Aren't you always working as bandits before? Aren't you still eating one meal at a time? Our place is not a major traffic thoroughfare, so choosing to rob here has no future."
"Master Dazhai, please tell me, what should we do to avoid starving?" Someone asked a question.
Xiao Ding nodded and said to everyone: "Don't worry. Next, I will appoint Tao Bao as the second leader of our Tianyao Village. When I am not around, everyone will follow his command. Do you understand?"
"Understood! Congratulations to Master Tao Second Village!" Everyone shouted loudly.
Tao Bao heard that Xiao Ding named him the second village leader, and he quickly saluted Xiao Ding to thank him.
Xiao Ding motioned to Tao Bao not to be polite, and then said to Tao Bao: "I just said that from now on, our village in Liutai Mountain will change its mind and name it Tianyao Village, and all of us will be in the village. Good residents will never do things that are harmful to nature or block roads and rob people again."
Tao Bao nodded repeatedly and said: "Yes, yes, it all depends on the arrangement of the leader of the village!"
Xiao Ding continued: "I saw that the tops of the other five peaks behind our Yitai Peak all have flat land. Moreover, on the Sitai Peak in the middle, there is a small pool formed by mountain spring water. My The idea is that starting from tomorrow, we will temporarily slow down the construction of the mountain village. You first take people to the top of the five peaks and mine as much wasteland as possible. It happens to be spring now, and I still have some sweet potatoes here. Come as seeds and plant them on the five peaks..."
When Tao Bao heard that Xiao Ding said that he wanted to use the mined fields for farming, he immediately understood Xiao Ding's intention. It seems that he has really washed his hands of the golden basin and become a good citizen!
Xiao Ding continued: "However, there are not too many sweet potatoes in my space. Even if they are cut into pieces and planted, it is only enough to plant two acres of land. So, you have to wait for these two acres of land. Plant it and wait for the seedlings to emerge. After the seedlings grow bigger, you can also pinch some sweet potato seedlings and transplant them elsewhere. Although the seedlings planted later will be later, it doesn’t matter. The maturity cycle of sweet potatoes is short and only takes a few days. It takes only a few months to mature, and sweet potatoes are resistant to waterlogging and drought. They are easy to survive and have high yields. They are more suitable for mass planting in our village."
Tao Bao nodded and said, "Yes, we will definitely take good care of these sweet potatoes."
Xiao Ding continued: "There is a mountain spring on the top of Sitai Peak, and a small pool has been formed near the spring. You can send people out to find some bamboo, cut some thick bamboo poles back, open the bamboo joints inside the bamboo poles, and then connect Together, we will divert the water from Si Tai Peak to other peaks for irrigating fields and daily drinking. At the same time, the loaches we caught today can also be released inside. I will take people to hunt again tomorrow. , try to catch some live fish and put them inside to keep them. If they breed more in the future, we can have fish to eat at any time."
When Tao Bao heard this, he quickly praised: "This is a good idea, Master Dazhai!"
Xiao Ding knew that Tao Bao was the kind of subordinate who obeyed his orders. People like him usually did not have any disobedience to their bosses. Therefore, Xiao Ding was very relieved to leave everything to him.
After everything was explained, everyone continued to have dinner.
After dinner, Xiao Ding took out all the prey hunted today from the jade pendant space and all storage bags, and asked everyone to smoke and roast all these wild ducks and loaches by the light of the bonfire tonight. Once cooked, it is made into bacon, which is easy to preserve.
Xiao Ding still asked everyone to collect the feathers of wild ducks. He took out two pieces of fabric and needle and thread from the jade pendant space on the spot, and asked someone who knew how to use needle and thread to sew some quilt-sized cloth bags and collect them. The collected duck feathers are placed in a cloth bag and used as bedding.
This kind of cloth bag filled with feathers is fluffy, soft, and has good thermal insulation. The only drawback is that after using it for a period of time, hair will drill out from the gaps in the fabric.
Even so, it was much better than the thatch bedding these people had used before.
Everyone ate the prey brought back by Xiao Ding today, and listened to Xiao Ding's plans for the future. They felt that they would be successful in the future, and they were all thinking in their hearts. It seems that the big boss they recognized today is recognized. correct!
