Reborn stone tools to farm

Today's Wood Tribe is extremely lively, the open space is full of people, surrounded by Tang Zheng and sparrows.

"I really don't know what you want these for." Sparrow shook his head and said.

Baskets and baskets of soybeans and rice were constantly being brought from behind her and piled together, the quantity was considerable.

"Eat." Tang Zheng said as a matter of course, the joy on her face could not be concealed, so many seeds were enough for her to toss several times.After the excitement was over, Tang Zheng asked, "How are you going to sell it?"

This is a big problem. Que thought about it for a while, and said: "I used to trade with the Stone Tribe. Probably this basket of beans can be exchanged for a piece of salt, but I plan to exchange some pottery back. You can give it to me."

"It's so cheap" almost burst out of my mouth, and Tang Zheng asked stiffly, "Is Tao Ding easy to use? What do you want to change this time?"

"It's very useful." Mentioned this sparrow and laughed, "It's much better than the ones of the River Tribe. They are big and strong. This time I want to buy two more. I don't know how many things are suitable for you. Who told you not to accept the leathers? Woolen cloth?"

Tang Zheng smiled dryly to suppress his eagerness to slaughter fat sheep, and said frankly: "To be honest, you don't know what these seeds represent now, and it's hard for me to define its price, but there is absolutely no problem with two tripods. How about I choose some of the rest Tao?"

Que raised his eyebrows, he was very grateful for Tang Zheng's sincerity, and said with a smile: "There are not many people like you, and this is the only time I suffered, so don't take it to heart."

"That's okay, I'll point you to eat in the future." Tang Zheng waved his hands again and again.

"Hehehe, then I won't be polite." Unexpectedly happy, Que agreed and had a high opinion of Tang Zheng.She didn't behave like a small tribe at all, and she felt relieved a lot, because she was afraid that she was used to life at the bottom, and couldn't stand the big scene, and couldn't even support her.

"Let's go, I'll show you something." Tang Zheng led Que to the newly built warehouse, wiping off his sweat secretly.At first glance, there are more than a dozen baskets of soybeans and rice, and each basket must weigh at least forty or fifty catties, which is really a big deal.

To be honest, although the sparrow tribe eats soybeans, they tend to be flatulent if they eat too much, so they cannot replace root plants such as taro as their staple food.As for rice, they don’t have the knowledge of sun-drying and husking. The rice husk and rice are mixed in the same pot, and the porridge is fine, but if you add less water and turn it into rice, it will scratch your throat.In addition, the yield of rice is actually the lowest, and it is troublesome to find it scattered in the water. When food is abundant, the weight of these two things in the bird's heart is not too high.

Tang Zheng took the sparrow to pick a lot of things. This transaction can be said to be a joy for the guests. Before leaving, Tang Zheng exchanged her own skin for the sparrow to help bring some salt back from the Stone Tribe.Since the matter of drying the salt has been concealed for the time being, it is better to do everything well so as not to arouse suspicion.

A few days after seeing off Que, Liao came back again, his face was full of red, and when he saw Tang Zheng, he laughed so hard that he couldn't see his eyes. It must be that animal husbandry has developed.

In fact, the wolf tribe has not survived a few cattle and sheep in the past six months. As for why they are still so happy, it is all because the snow season is much more nourished than previous years by relying on the captured cattle and sheep. The number of rations has also been reduced from three or four to two.

The rest of the cubs didn't dare to move anymore, pointing at them to grow flesh.

Liao didn't change many things, he seemed to be passing by to chat for a while, knowing that Que had just left not long ago, he led someone to chase him that day, saying that he would come back after the party.

The people were all gone, but the Mu tribe still hadn't calmed down. The soybeans and rice were in hand, and the snow had melted away. It was the season of farming.

Rubbing his hands together, Tang Zheng pulled the string and began to plan the field. Soybean is a dry field, and rice is a paddy field, but of course the land is the same. One person with a hoe has to turn over all the soil.

The domestication of the cattle is still in progress. During this period, the cows have given birth to calves twice, and they are more docile and less fearful after eating the forage they feed. However, it will obviously take another year or two to cultivate the land.

Fortunately, the time is not tight. The torrential rain in Leiji will not drown the rice, but it will crush the seedlings. Both soybeans and rice can only be planted after that time.

People outside were hoeing the ground, while Tang Zheng was digging wood to add bricks and tiles to the house. He even dug a cellar at the back of the house, pickled some pickled vegetables grown in winter and stored them in it, and slowly turned them into delicious pickles in time , After the autumn harvest, stir-fry shredded pork and eat it with rice.

In a blink of an eye, the thunderstorm has passed, and the torrential rain that blinds people directly turns most of the reclaimed land into paddy fields, and plows it carefully with a rake. The water level [-] to [-] centimeters high is enough to suffocate the ungerminated plants in the soil. Weed seeds, the plant ash mixed in when the ground is plowed in advance are excellent natural fertilizers, just waiting for transplanting.

There must be seedlings for transplanting, and one of the fields is full of wet mud without too much water floating on the surface. This is Tang Zheng's seedling field.

Taking advantage of the fine weather, Tang Zheng sprinkled the rice that had soaked up the water and germinated a few days ago into the seedling field. The densely packed rice was evenly scattered in the soil, and she patted them into the soil surface with a bamboo broom, and then sprinkled A layer of plant ash can grow full and green seedlings in less than a week.

In order to prevent birds from catching food, a greenhouse is built with bamboo sheets and thinned silk, which has good light transmission performance. The seedlings inside are not as strong as those in the open air, but the growth rate will be more than twice as fast.

The seedlings are less than one acre, and they grow crowded together like a green lawn. With about five centimeters of soil, they are directly shoveled up without damaging the rhizomes. Four or five of them can be divided into one plant and inserted neatly into the paddy field.At first Tang Zheng was afraid that he had not planted enough, but in fact, after planting all of them, there was a lot more.

The ground next to the seedlings is almost dry. Soybeans are not so particular. Turn over the ground and make ridges. After soaking the hair and growing radicles and two leaves, just plant them directly. The spacing should be large to allow enough growth for a single plant. space.

The clansmen couldn't understand this, they only knew that the clan leader was playing with the grass and beans again, and now they were helping to make the boat.

The manpower was very small, and it was only halfway through the season when all the land was planted with thunder. Tang Zheng decided to take people to the beach to dry a lot of salt.Last year's salt was only enough to eat and drink, and she had only pickled five jars of her own pickles, not to mention bacon and ham.

After tidying up and lying on the bed at night, Tang Zheng stared at Jing lying beside her and said, "Tomorrow I'm going to the beach to get some salt."

This matter was mentioned before, Jing was not too surprised, and responded casually: "Well, how long will you be back?"

"It may take two or three months." Tang Zheng said.

Jing's body froze, and he stopped talking.It's been a long time for two or three months, and this is the first time.

Tang Zheng also felt that it was too long, so she stared at the ceiling for a while, then turned to look at Jing's side face and asked, "Have you ever seen the sea?"

"No." Jing shook his head, then lay on his side facing Tang Zheng, wondering, "Why do you ask this?"

"Would you like to go and have a look with me?" Tang Zheng suggested enthusiastically.

Jing was a little moved, "But I still have to..."

"That's the decision!" Before she could finish, Tang Zheng interrupted: "He and the others will do it, it doesn't matter if you are missing! I am the patriarch and I have the final say!"

"Can......"

"No, but go to bed! You have to get up early tomorrow!"

So Tang Zheng took Jing and followed the fleet the next day, heading for the sea in a mighty way.

There were a total of six ships, except for Tang Zheng and the others, all of them were soldiers except for the team leader, fully equipped and worthy of anything they encountered.

This time the road is different from last time, it is the nearest one, if Tang Zheng encounters that barbaric tribe, he is ready to eradicate it directly, but the other party seems to be lucky, he was not encountered by them, and went all the way to the beach smoothly.

Instead of going to the land where the salt was dried before, Tang Zheng led the people all the way up, and landed on a sandy beach with few reefs after a while.

Due to the relatively late time, the energy of the sun has begun to weaken. When the boat was pushed ashore, Tang Zheng asked people to clean up the surrounding land. This time they brought a lot of leather. Two or three months is not two or three. Gosh, have to live comfortably.

Dahai always has a kind of open-minded feeling, stretching his waist, Tang Zheng asked Jing beside him: "How is it, does it look good?"

"Well, it's very beautiful." Jing looked at the end of the sea, where there was only a line connected to the sky, they stood barefoot by the sea, the tide swayed back and forth on the back of their feet, it was cool and strange.

Seeing her lost in thought, Tang Zheng ran to search the beach for a while, but couldn't find any particularly beautiful shells, but accidentally found an empty conch, and ran back excitedly, "Look! What did I find?!"

The conch has a few barbs, and the black-gray mottled surface is pitted and even looks ugly.Jing held it with a puzzled expression on his face, "This is?"

"Ah, this is called a conch." Tang Zheng stretched out a finger, pointed to his ear and said, "Put it in your ear and listen?"

Jing glanced at Tang Zheng hesitantly, and slowly pressed the conch to his ear, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

"Did you hear that?" Tang Zheng said with a smile, "This is the sound of the sea."

"Yeah! I heard it!" Jing nodded vigorously, the voice in her ears was ethereal like the wind from the distant sky, which was extremely precious, magical and beautiful in the age when there was no music.

"Right, I..." Tang Zheng was about to say something, when suddenly there was a strange noise from the edge of the grove where the clansmen lived, as well as strange shouts, "Something went wrong, let's go! "

Forget about putting on shoes, Tang Zheng pulled Jing and ran there. She was confident that no one could beat the fighting power of her tribe, but it was not a good thing to be discovered by nearby tribes. If it was the legendary He tribe, then Really can only find another treasure.

"What happened?!" Tang Zheng grabbed a clansman and asked, and a few strangers could be seen fleeing in a distance.

The clansman shook his head and said: "The one who bumped into it suddenly seemed to be hiding from something, but ended up plunging right into our place, and Wu and the others have already chased after them."

The terrain here is flat, and even if there are many trees, you can see far away. The movement in front of the two of them has stopped while they are talking. It should be Wu and the others who have caught someone.

"Let's go and have a look." Tang Zheng beckoned people to approach the front.

Four men were caught. Their harpoons were scattered on the ground. They seemed to be fishermen nearby. However, the messy and dirty hair and the high-end clothing that could be seen on their bodies were not commensurate with each other. , yelling strangely in their mouths, the extremely fast speech speed made them unable to understand what they were saying, they could only hear that they were probably swearing angrily.

"Be quiet!" Wu kicked the man under his control at the crook of the leg, pressing him to the ground.

Tang Zheng walked over and asked, "How is it? Have you caught them all?"

Before Wu could answer, the man who was pressed down on the ground was the first to be stunned when he saw who was coming, with a very surprised expression on his face.

"It's you?!"
