Farming in the Primitive Tribe

Although there was sunshine, the slight cold wind still made people feel goosebumps, but they were used to it and did not feel cold.

When they arrived at the bamboo forest, they looked at Shen Xiaoxiao in confusion, their eyes full of questions, as if to say, where are the bamboo shoots? where?

Understanding their looks, Shen Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll teach you how to find bamboo shoots first. These bamboo shoots are on the ground and we need to dig them out."

Daya looked at the ground in confusion, but did not find any bamboo shoots. She raised her head and asked, "Goddess, where are the bamboo shoots you mentioned? Why didn't I see it?" Is she being blinded?

"In the ground, you need to use tools to dig them out. What we are digging now are winter bamboo shoots, so we need to look for them carefully. When we dig spring bamboo shoots next spring, we won't have to worry about it as much as now."

Then he said, "We need to remember a formula when digging winter bamboo shoots. From both ends of the green edge, go back to the broken edge. If there are cracks in the soil, you will see about five centimeters protruding. The leaves are green and slightly yellow, and then use a shovel to gently dig them. When you dig down, you will see that there are usually older winter bamboo shoots near the newly grown young bamboo. This is the secret to digging for winter bamboo shoots."

"Also, you need to choose the right bamboo, don't choose fresh bamboo... choose thick branches and leaves, dark green leaves..." Shen Xiaoxiao

"Goddess, what do you mean Qingbian Liangtou?" Some people asked puzzledly. They had never heard what the goddess said and didn't know what it meant.

"That is to say, winter bamboo shoots are usually at both ends of the bamboo whip, and the color of the bamboo whip will be darker than the surrounding soil."

"How to find bamboo whip?"

"Generally, look at which direction the bamboo roots are bent, and the bamboo whip is in that direction."

"What about chasing after Duan Bian?"

"If you find that the bamboo whip is broken, you can go back to the broken edge. Winter bamboo shoots may grow in the broken place of the bamboo whip."

"Then I saw this one coming out about five centimeters."

“What is cracked soil?”

Shen Xiaoxiao answered them one by one. After they all absorbed it, it was time to actually take action.

"Look, there are cracks here, which means there may be winter bamboo shoots growing here, so let's dig here and see if there are any winter bamboo shoots." Shen Xiaoxiao said as she cut open the leaves above and made them out of stone. The hoe dug down, and after swinging it a few times, a bamboo shoot wrapped in a yellow coat suddenly appeared in front of her eyes. Shen Xiaoxiao felt happy and quickly swung the hoe again. After digging to the end, she used the hoe to break the bamboo shoot.

"Look, these are bamboo shoots." Shen Xiaoxiao held up the bamboo shoots for them to see clearly.

Others looked at the bamboo shoots that were still covered in soil, and a thought came to their minds. Is this thing really edible?

"Goddess, this thing is full of dirt. Is it really edible?" Some people couldn't help but ask. After so much effort, the things dug out were still stained with dirt and looked inedible. They I couldn't help but wonder in my heart whether this thing was really edible as the goddess said.

"It's edible." Shen Xiaoxiao stepped on the hoe with her feet, and then peeled off the shell of the bamboo shoots with her hands, revealing the pure white bamboo shoots inside. "Only the white ones can be eaten. The outer layer is the shell and cannot be eaten." "

When everyone saw the peeled bamboo shoots, they believed that they were really edible, otherwise the goddess would not have spent so much effort digging them out.

They couldn't help feeling a little annoyed that they didn't believe the goddess. Thinking that what the goddess told them every time was correct, they listened even more attentively to the goddess asking them to dig bamboo shoots.

"There are young bamboos that have just grown here, and there may be older winter bamboo shoots. Let's see if there are any." Shen Xiaoxiao said as she swept away the leaves on the ground, and then started digging down again, but this time there were no I didn't dig out the winter bamboo shoots quickly. I dug a small hole before I saw the winter bamboo shoots.

"I found it, I found it." Others couldn't help but exclaimed. People who didn't know thought they had found a treasure.

Shen Xiaoxiao dug up the winter bamboo shoots, picked them up, and filled them back with soil with her feet.

"Although we dug deeper, there were still winter bamboo shoots inside, so we dug for a while but didn't see any bamboo shoots. Don't worry, they may be waiting for you to dig further down." He added, "There are also holes dug for winter bamboo shoots. It needs to be filled back with soil.”

"This bamboo whip is broken. Let's stop looking for it. Just dig here. There might be winter bamboo shoots growing here." Shen Xiaoxiao said as she started digging out a small bamboo shoot.

Seeing that Shen Xiaoxiao dug up another one so quickly, the interest of the others was also aroused, and they started looking for it according to Shen Xiaoxiao's instructions. Shen Xiaoxiao was still mumbling something, and Shen Xiaoxiao was not in a hurry to find it by herself. Instead, she watched them search until each of them found one, and then she started to work.

"I dug it, I dug it." Suddenly someone said in surprise, holding a palm-sized bamboo shoot in his hand, and others gathered around him, "Yue, you are so awesome. You found it so quickly. How did you do it?" ?”

Yue scratched his head and said sheepishly, "I just followed the goddess's teachings and dug wherever I saw cracks. I didn't expect there to be any."

The others gathered around the moon and said a few more words, and then went back to digging for bamboo shoots. Soon someone dug up bamboo shoots. There were sounds one after another. Everyone dug up the first bamboo shoot, and some people even dug up two or three bamboo shoots. Already.

Shen Xiaoxiao stopped paying attention to them and focused on looking for bamboo shoots.

Maybe it was because no one was digging. It was not difficult for them to find bamboo shoots, but they just lost some energy when digging. If the tools were useful, they might be able to dig more.

It was getting late, and Shen Xiaoxiao called them back. If they didn't go back, it would be too late. This time was no better than in summer. It would get dark when the sun went down. Moreover, they had sweated while working, and they would catch cold easily when the wind blew.

"Goddess, let's dig more." Someone said enthusiastically. Digging bamboo shoots is so interesting. When you dig out the bamboo shoots from the ground, you really feel a sense of accomplishment, especially when you dig out big ones. Double the satisfaction.

"Yeah, let's dig some more." Others also agreed, wanting to continue digging.

"It's getting late now. If you don't go back, the witch doctor and the others should be worried. If you still want to dig, we can come back tomorrow if the weather is good. These bamboo shoots can't escape here, but it will be dark if we don't go back. I'm going to smear him and get going." Shen Xiaoxiao said with a smile.

Only then did the others react and look at the sky. They found that the sun had already set at some point. It was indeed too late if they didn't go back. They said anxiously, "Then goddess, let's go back quickly, so as not to worry the witch doctor and the others."

They were so excited about digging that they forgot what the witch doctor told them. When they came, they promised the witch doctor that the goddess would go back early. But in the end, they didn't want to go back.

Xiao Yan and the others should have returned by this time, and the witch doctor and the others were probably dying of panic.

Just as they thought, the people in the tribe were already restless and looked anxious at this time.

"Witch doctor, let's go meet Xiaoxiao and the others." Xiao Yan was the first to be unable to sit still and quickly walked out of the tribe. "You guys should follow quickly." The witch doctor said to Qingshan and the others.
