I inherited a planet [farming]

Chapter 64 Let's Go

Lan Li was drying peppercorns, and Feng Ling came up to him with two bamboo pole-like things.

Feng Ling was very excited, and called Lan Li from afar. Lan Li followed the voice and looked at her. After seeing that it was Feng Ling, he smiled at her.

After getting closer, Lan Li also set his eyes on the thing brought by Feng Ling, and was a little surprised: "This is..."

"This is the sweet stick! Wang, try it..." Feng Ling broke off the sweet stick and handed half of it to Lan Li.

This kind of sweet stalk also has a layer of hard skin on the outside, and white soft stalks on the inside. Lan Li feels a bit like a corn stalk when chewing.Of course, this is not corn stalks.Compared with sugar cane, this kind of sweet bar has less sugar, but fortunately, it also has a lot of juice.Lan Li immediately asked where these sweet stems of Fengling grew, and brought some back.He first took a look at how the sweet stalks were grown and whether they could boil out sugar.

The sweet stalk Lanli brought back left the seeds, and then picked part of it to squeeze the juice.The ancient method of squeezing sugarcane juice is to use two large stone mills to feed the sugarcane in from the middle entrance. There is a groove under the stone mill, and then put a wooden barrel at the outlet of the groove to get the squeezed sugarcane juice.

Lan Li and the others also used the same stone grinding tools.Mu Lin, Xie Zhe and the others made tools, and the quick-witted orcs in the tribe had become their apprentices. This stone mill was made by their joint efforts.

After the juice is squeezed, Lanli starts to filter and boil.It takes several times to filter, and it takes more effort to boil it. It takes more than an hour.

After the syrup is boiled out, put it into the mold and press it, and it will be handmade brown sugar when it is put into shape.

After molding, Lan Li tasted the sugar content. Compared with the modern cane brown sugar, the taste is slightly lighter, but it also proves that this kind of sweet bar can be used to make sugar.

Lan Li sipped a small piece of candy in his mouth, narrowing his eyes with joy.The number of sweet sticks is limited. This board of brown sugar blue is cut into several pieces, and one piece is kept for myself, one piece is given to the found wind chimes, and one piece is given to the most powerful ones, and the rest is distributed to the tribe.

Huoshi used to think that eating salt was a happy thing, because at first they were so poor that it was difficult to get salt.Now they have vegetable fields that will continue to grow, livestock and fish that are growing slowly, and they are eating newly made candy in their mouths. The sweetness can spread from their mouths to their hearts. The taste of happiness I want.

Today, almost every family member of the Huoshi family would thank the gods for bringing the king to their tribe before eating every night.They know that their future will be sweeter and better.

After tasting the sugar, the priest came to Lan Li several times, talking about the development of the tribe, but actually came to Lan Li to ask for sugar.When the sugar was cut out, Lan Li gave the priest and the fat cat a piece. Although it wasn't too much, it was much better than other clansmen who could only taste a little bit. I didn't expect to finish it so quickly.

In fact, the amount of brown sugar is small, and there is no need to worry about the priest and the fat cat eating something wrong now, but when they start to use sweet sticks to start making sugar, they have to find someone to watch these old people, so they can't eat too much.

The season is starting to heat up, and it's time for the exchange team to go out.In the past, the exchange pair needed to go out in the spring. This year, due to the lack of manpower for the development of the tribe, they delayed it by more than a month.

Lan Li is now divided into groups, and the clansmen have adapted to their current jobs and responsibilities, and everything is on track.The exchange team offered to go out again, and he agreed.

This year the exchange team did not need to bring food out to exchange salt, they brought a few pieces of pottery and two pieces of brown sugar.These two things are the most expensive in this era, especially the slightly larger tribes are proud to own a piece of pottery.Not to mention sugar, only patriarchs and priests can enjoy it.

Although the honey is as sweet as it is, the nests made by different bees are really similar in the eyes of the orcs, and they can't tell whether they are provoking non-toxic bees or deadly poisonous bees.In this way, there are really very few tribes with honey. Even if there are, only priests and patriarchs may have them, and it is impossible to have them in every family.As a result, there is a large market for brown sugar that is quiet and consistently produced.

Once you start a transaction, you have to set the price higher. Rare things are more expensive.And if you want to find a wealthier tribe to exchange, the poor will not be willing to exchange even if they can afford it.This time the team was exchanged, and Lan Li sent someone to protect them to prevent some tribes from overtly robbing them.

The candidate Lan Li originally wanted Zhu Lie to go, but Qi Yu didn't know why he took the initiative to say that he wanted to go.To be honest, Qi Yu is an excellent candidate to be the leader of the team.Armed force and intelligence are both online, and as an officer, he has sufficient leadership and combat experience. If he leads the team, he will definitely be able to help Huoshi get the most benefits.only……

"What are you going to do?" Xie Zhe chased after Qi Yu who was packing up, "You don't know the road outside, if, if you get separated from them, or if you meet the black leopard last time Yes, you..."

Qi Yu stopped and looked at him: "Am I that bad in your eyes?"

Xie Zhe was anxious and hurriedly said, "No, that's not what I meant."

Qi Yu stared at him for a long time, but didn't see Xie Zhe suffocating any more words, so he left with the packed package.

Lan Li and Mu Lin were waiting in front of the new house when they saw Qi Yu coming out, and after a while Xie Zhe also came out with a bitter face.Lan Li was a little gloating, but he didn't want to laugh, so he coughed and asked Qi Yu if he had made up his mind.Qi Yu turned his head halfway, then stopped abruptly, and then nodded.

"Alright then." Lan Li handed a book of dry bark to Qi Yu, and said, "Let's talk while walking. The plants and fruits I drew on this, if you encounter them, you can bring them back. You can eat the fresh ones." It’s okay, but remember to leave seeds for me.”

"And what's more, I plan to turn our valley into a trading city. We don't need to go out to change salt or other things in the future. When you go out to trade this time, you will negotiate with those richer tribes and blow our tribe down. Be stronger. If there are homeless people on the road, or if any tribe can’t survive, we will bring them back. We are short of manpower.”

"Okay, I'll remember." Qi Yu put the simple bark book given by Lan Li into the animal skin backpack, watching Mu Lin and the two hesitate to speak.

Lan Li wanted to laugh a little: "Okay, okay, don't worry, we will share his food with your stupid lion. But you, be careful outside, it will take a long time."

"Ah."

The exchange team assembled at the mouth of the valley, where Lan Li, Mu Lin and everyone in the tribe sent them off.It has been half a year since I went there, and I may not come back until winter this year. People in the tribe are very reluctant, and some have red eyes.On the way out, the mountains are high and the water is far away, and there are ferocious beasts in the wild. Although they can broaden their horizons and see more scenery, there are also many dangers. Maybe after today, they will never see them again.Just like last year, the people who exchanged teams did not encounter any major dangers, but two people in the team still had a fever and died of illness on the way.

Xie Zhe stood on the side alone, also a little angry, he didn't understand what happened to Qi Yu at all.In Interstellar before, Qi Yu would never sulk with him inexplicably like now.He heard someone crying next to him, and his heart was in a mess.

No, he wants to ask Qi Yu to clarify, otherwise he will follow, anyway, he can't rest assured.This planet X is always weird, there might be something more dangerous outside Huo Shi, he can't let Qi Yu leave alone.

The exchange team left the valley, and the people in the tribe felt uncomfortable for a while, and then began to cheer up and work.Lan Li also didn't notice that Xie Zhe was secretly chasing Qi Yu, he was going to see the long-beaked beast nest.

The nest-embracing long-beaked beast is not a novice anymore. When it sees someone coming, it raises its tail and makes a vicious sound towards people, while its buttocks are still sitting firmly in the egg nest.The people who took care of them didn't feel terrible, and all looked at the eggs under its buttocks with loving faces.

This egg has been hugged for a while, and Lan Li counted the days, and the shell will be broken in just two days, so he basically came to see it every day.Except for Lan Li, the children in the tribe also love to lie on the side of the chicken coop and watch when they hear that there will be chickens soon, and the adults in charge can't drive them away.Don't look at the long-beaked beasts that seem to be matured by them and basically don't bite people, but their beaks are still very strong, and they are egg-protecting female beasts, and their tempers are particularly fierce.

Lan Li didn't dare to get too close, and shrank back with the children beside him.After taking a few steps back, Lan Li seemed to hear the crowing of a chicken.It's a pity that the female beast didn't move its rear at all, so they couldn't see it.

Lan Li was a little regretful, and remembered that the chicks had no food to eat, so he asked the excited children to find the fat worms, and when they found them, they asked the responsible uncles to feed the chicks.The children were even more excited when they got the task, and the children who couldn't be chased away disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Lan Li looked at their backs running away happily, and remembered the backs of those children running away on the first day he came here.

More than half a year has passed, does he seem to be adapting well?Looking at Mu Lin beside him, Lan Li still wanted to thank the Goubi system.

Well, to thank him for that, it would be better for him not to call it a dog than the system.

Lan Li and Mu Lin went to the river. The waterwheel Mu Lin's team hadn't finished yet, but the clansmen were still digging the canal.Looking at the situation, Lan Li estimated that it could be done before the summer really heats up.

After the canal is dug, the frame of the waterwheel must be repaired. Only after the frame is repaired can the waterwheel be released.As for the pond, the canal goes there, and if the water rises in the future, it can still bring water into the river.

Everyone here was still busy, the sky was overcast for a while, Lan Li looked at the weather, it looked like it was going to rain, but luckily there was no thunder.For the orcs in the exchange team, Lan Li asked the old people or their family members to help them make coir raincoats and bamboo hats, which they all brought.As long as it is not very heavy rain, it should not get wet.And before it rains heavily, they must be able to find a nearby place to hide.

This year, they have needles and threads, and have learned to weave. Many people in the tribe are thankful that they made coir raincoats and bamboo hats for the exchange team in advance.In the past, there were not many people who got sick and died because of the rain, but there were also quite a few. Once they got a fever, the orcs had no choice but to wait for the sickness to recover.Now there are priests and kings in the tribe, but outside there is nothing.

It was not obvious that the time was coming, so Lan Li told Mu Lin to go back and collect the seasonings he was drying.

However, on the way back, he met Xie Zhe who ran back in a panic.When Xie Zhe saw Lan Li, his blushing face turned even redder, and he fled back to the cave after saying hello.

Lan Li rubbed his chin and squinted his eyes.Tsk, this look of being molested.
