Prehistoric Widows Survival [Farming]

In Mang's past life, he has eaten berries, honey, and sweet potatoes, but none of the "sweetness" of any food can compare to the syrup in his mouth now.

This is an extreme "sweetness". There is no other taste except "sweetness". You can only feel the sweet taste filling your mouth and stimulating your taste buds, making him completely indulging in the charm of "sweetness".

After thinking about it for a long time, Mang woke up from the dreamlike sweetness, reluctant to take a second bite, and asked, "Is this made from beets?"

"Yes, this is sugar." Lu You patted Mang on the shoulder that had almost caught up with her, and smiled at his look of wanting to eat but not wanting to eat, "Eat it, there are many more, beets have to be refined into sugar." Sugar can be stored."

These syrups can be processed into sugar cubes and powdered sugar later.Powdered sugar can be used as a condiment for cooking, and sugar cubes can be used as an important trading item in addition to rewarding people who love sweets.

After communicating with several orcs from the Shentan tribe, Lu Yi realized his previous one-sided impression—although most tribes in the orc world face many dangers, not all tribes are poor.

Actually, rich and dangerous are not opposites.

As the "No. [-] tribe on the mainland", the Shentan tribe has countless wealth. Pearl coral in the sea and emerald agate in the mine are not uncommon items in the Shentan tribe.

Even a group of orcs of the size of the Heihe Tribe don’t worry much about food—they work together as a team when hunting, and they have a tacit understanding with each other, and they are backed by extremely lucrative salt. Situation of starvation.

And such tribes are even more willing to exchange favorite foods or rare accessories during the warm season.

When Zhan found the Redwood tribe all the way, he also passed through many wealthy medium-sized tribes, and he still remembers many locations.

Lu Er intends to use sugar, something that can bring infinite happiness, to open up the trading path between the Redwood Tribe and other tribes, and at the same time promote copper coins.

Of course, if you do not have enough force to contact a large tribe, [-]% of what you face is not a transaction but a plunder.

So Lu Er communicated with the old priest and Zhan.

The Redwood Tribe can supply their special products to the Altar Tribe at a very low price, and even directly give some core technologies to the Altar Tribe in exchange for the blessing of the Altar Tribe.

Although the future development of the Redwood Tribe is likely to be lower than the Shentan Tribe, Lu Er's goal from the beginning to the end is not to lead this tribe to rise up, but to let civilization cover all tribes, so naturally he doesn't care about this little thing. false name.

Although the old priest didn't care much about the tribe's affairs, he knew that this would be beneficial to the Shentan tribe, so he agreed; but Zhan didn't seem to expect Lu Er to make this decision, and looked at Lu Er with complicated eyes.

Afterwards, he also sighed with Jiao: "In this case, if you can't become the leader of the Shentan tribe, wouldn't you be a loser?"

Jiao hugged Xiao Lujiu and glanced at him: "If he feels bad, then I'll be the leader."

Zhan held his breath: "Aren't you taking me too seriously?"

Jiao sneered, and lowered his head to tease his own little baby. Although he didn't answer, his arrogance was beyond words.

Zhan gritted his teeth. He didn't want to argue with him. He lowered his head and met Lu Jiu's curious eyes. He suddenly felt that he was hit. I'll be alone."

"Birth by myself." The horn didn't lift his head.

"I'm sure I won't have cubs." Zhan muttered.

Jiao didn't understand: "What?"

"It's nothing." Zhan reached out and hooked Xiao Lujiu, still a little unwilling, "Really don't think about it? This kid's hair seems to be about the same color as mine, isn't it just right for me to be a cub?"

"That's the color of green ears." Jiao stood up, put Xiao Lujiu on the chair, moved his fists and feet, his eyes were deep, "If you want my cub, let's fight."

……

When the battle was beaten, Lu Er was counting the goods they could trade.

Sugar, flour, corn, soybeans, salt, oil...

Although due to the weather, only things that are easy to preserve and not easy to destroy can be loaded into the car, but the variety of things will definitely open the eyes of any other tribe and willingly trade with them.

Lu Wei organized a "trade team" and carefully instructed them on the rules and techniques of simple transactions, as well as the pricing of these commodities.

After the initial sowing period of the next crop of farming is over, they will be sent to "go out" to the small and medium-sized tribes around them to promote the products of the Redwood tribe.

Under Jiao's training and sufficient food supply, the orc warriors of the Redwood Tribe have grown extremely fast. Although they are not as large as the big tribes in quantity, their quality is not far behind, and they have no problem dealing with the nearby tribes.

This promotion is mainly to build up the reputation of the Redwood Tribe, attracting orcs from other tribes to come to the Redwood Tribe to buy these good things, and at the same time, it can also greatly promote agriculture.

Only when everyone's productivity increases, the excess resources can be traded to the Redwood Tribe, and the Redwood Tribe can accumulate more wealth.

"Okay, have you memorized all these prices?" Lu Er confirmed it for the last time.

The few people in front of them shook their fingers and nodded: "I remember them all."

There were three orcs who went out to be itinerant vendors this time, a strong horse orc pulling carts and acting as a bodyguard, a bird orc for scouting, and a dexterous orc selling.

Lu You originally wanted to go out together for a few times, but Su's sub-beast Qingye confirmed that she was pregnant with a cub a while ago, and Su was reluctant to leave home for too long, so she changed to another bird orc.

This is the first time that the Redwood Tribe took the initiative to open the way of merchants to other tribes.Lu Er designed some wooden cabinets on the basis of the trailer to place various things more naturally.

Lu Er designed a simple travel map for them - first go to the Heihe tribe, the Heihe tribe ushered in another salt exchange rally at the beginning of this year, and now this month, almost all small tribes will also gather in the Heihe tribe to exchange salt again , they happened to be on their way to a rally.

If it is not sold out in the Heihe tribe, then inquire about the nearby small tribes from the Heihe tribe and sell them one by one.

I personally sent the restless small caravan away from the tribe, and before leaving, Lu Er patted them on the shoulder: "Don't be too stressed, pay attention to safety on the road, and come back within two months whether they are sold out or not—we are also the first Try this once, it’s okay to lose something, it’s just something.”

When talking about business, Lu Wei always had a confident and gentle smile on his face, and he spoke at a moderate speed, which easily calmed down a few orcs who had changed their careers as businessmen for the first time.

——Yes, these things are not very precious in their tribe, so there is nothing to be afraid of!

……

Although Jiao beat Zhan, in fact, it takes a lot of effort to take care of the three cubs.

Lu Er and Jiao have a lot of things in the tribe.Especially for Lu You, she has to make up for many of the jobs she left behind during her pregnancy; besides doing farm work at home, Jiao also needs to provide special training for the orcs in the tribe.

After the giant tooth tribe merged in, in order to enhance the efficiency of the fusion of the two sides, the horn broke up all the orcs and re-formed, and re-established the training plan.

Because both of them are very busy, the care of the three cubs is a bit overwhelming.

The two younger brothers, Zhan and Mang, did their part to become replacement candidates to take care of the cubs.

Jiao still remembered Zhan's treacherous heart of thinking about his little lion, so he specifically held Mang and told him, "Lu Jiu must not let Zhan touch him."

Mang blinked in a daze: "Why?"

"He has bad intentions." Remembering that stupid brother's love for the little lion, Jiao's face became gloomy, "Be more careful, if he dares to touch Lu Jiu, you will shoot him."

Although Mang's eyes are not very good, but his sense of smell is very sensitive, and he can definitely tell which cub is which.

Mang nodded half-understanding: "Okay."

Jiao's prediction was right. When Zhan Tiantian and Mang were taking care of the cubs together, he wanted to hug Xiao Lujiu with a warm smile on his face.

Mang stayed by Lu Jiu's side according to Jiao's instructions, and knocked Zhan's hand away with a "slap".

Zhan didn't understand at first, thought Mang couldn't see, so he accidentally bumped into him, and when he reached out to hug Lu Jiu, Mang knocked him off again, so he was a little confused: "What are you doing?"

"Jiao said that you won't be allowed to touch Lu Jiu." Mang said seriously, facing Zhan's direction.

The corner of Zhan's mouth twitched: "I just hugged him, not stealing him."

"That's not OK."

Zhan didn't want to argue with this silly little bear, so he withdrew his hand resentfully: "Okay, I'll go hug Lu An and Xuemao."

Mang sat down again, took a small toy to play with Lu Jiu, and mentally reviewed the lessons Lu Wei taught these days.

He is originally introverted, although he has become more cheerful under the guidance of Lu Er over the years, he is still relatively taciturn when he has nothing to do on weekdays; Zhan's temper is a little impetuous, and the long silence in the room makes him feel unbearable.

Originally, he didn't want to talk to this stubborn little bear, but after holding back for a long time, he couldn't care less, so he took the initiative to talk to Mang: "Mang, what do you usually do alone?"

Mang recovered from his inner study and review, tilted his head and thought for a while before answering: "Study, herd sheep, exercise, and sleep."

Zhan: "...don't you feel bored?"

"do not think so."

war:"……"

I can't talk anymore today.

He thought for a while, then changed the subject: "Didn't you learn how to knit?"

Don't the orcs of the Redwood Tribe know how to weave wool with their hands?

Mang turned to face Zhan, and asked with some doubts: "Didn't you pick up all my Mao Mao?"

"Cough!" Zhan almost choked on his own saliva, and quickly clarified, "I just picked up a little bit! It fell on me when you shaved!"

"What are you doing picking up my fur?"

Zhan cleared his throat: "I just want to learn wool weaving, don't think too much about it."

"Why not use your own."

Zhan himself is not willing to waste his pure golden hair before he has practiced the knitting skills.But it seems a little disrespectful to Mang to say this reason out loud, so he said seriously: "Because your Mao Mao feels better."

Mang looked in his direction and "looked" for a while, and then said "oh" after a while, then lowered his head again to coax Xiao Lujiu.

……

When Zhan returned to the house where he lived that night, he happened to meet the strange eyes of the old priest.

The blond lion orc looked at him with horror: "What's wrong?"

The old priest looked him up and down, and after a while he "hummed": "I didn't expect you to want the horned cub because of this."

"Ah? What?" Zhan was a little confused.

"Pretend." The old priest glanced at him, "Did you fancy him?"

That red bear named Mang was an orc, and he would definitely not be able to give birth to cubs. No wonder Zhan Chu deliberately wanted to steal Lu Jiu.

Zhan was startled: "Mang is still a child, what are you talking about?"

"Isn't he about to reach adulthood?" The old priest shook his head with some regret, "The rootless grass I prepared was wasted."

Zhan was a little dumbfounded, and waved his hand: "You think too much, I have nothing to do with Mang."

The old priest and Zhan have known each other for so many years, and even this guy is the best at pretending to be innocent and talking nonsense with open eyes. It is convenient to use between two orcs..."

"Can you sell me this ointment?"

The battle was still waiting to be justified, when suddenly a somewhat cold voice came from outside the door.

Turning his head to look over, it was Lie with a calm face and Yong who was still in a daze.

This house was originally the place where Lie lived, and Lie still has some things left here. This time he came here to take them to Yong. Unfortunately, he happened to hear the conversation between Zhan and the old priest.

The old priest didn't know about Lie and Yong, so he was a little strange: "What do you want this for?"

Yong's expression changed slightly, and he pulled Lie to shut him up.

Lie was very calm, straightforward as if chatting: "Yong thinks it hurts, and he is always reluctant to do it with me."

Wen Yanyong's face immediately turned red, unable to bear the sense of shame, he turned into a leopard on the spot and rolled on the ground.

The old priest looked at the two young orcs, understood, clicked his tongue a few times, and turned to look for his animal skin bag: "I have some leaves and seeds here, you can use them."

It is much easier to have seeds.

Lie nodded seriously: "I can plant with Yong."

……

More than a month after the cubs were born, Lu Er finally arranged most of the things in the tribe, and was going to the former site of the Redwood tribe to verify the influence of the spirit water and the power of life on the God's Punishment Wasteland.

Whether or not to take a few cubs there was once the most tangled thing for Lu Er.

On the one hand, he was reluctant to be separated from these children. These meatballs rolled down from his body were innocent and cute. As long as he hugged them, he could feel the tenderness pouring out of his heart. When he thought of being separated from them for a few months, Lu You felt very reluctant; on the other hand, he was reluctant to take such a small child all the way.

The old site of the Redwood Tribe can only live in tents, which is far less comfortable and convenient than here, and there is even no goat milk to drink.

Although the orc cubs basically only need milk for a month, and then they can eat some simple porridge and broth, but Lu Yi still often feeds three cubs to drink milk.

Jiao didn't think it mattered: "Don't worry too much. When I was this old, my father had already carried me out to hunt."

"One month? Hunting?" Lu You was taken aback, "What can you do with such a big man?"

"It's mainly to stimulate the wildness hidden in the cubs during hunting in the wild." Sitting on the kang, Jiao hugged Xiao Lu An, stuffed him with a piece of candy, and watched him licking the candy, with a faint glow on his face. With a gentle smile, "Do you still remember that they were born in animal form and turned into human form after a while?"

Lu You hugged Lu Xuemao and nodded.There is also a piece of candy in Lu Xuemao's mouth, its mouth is bulging, and its two pure white cat ears are moving, so that Lu You can't help reaching out to touch it.

Xiao Lujiu was not being hugged, so he lay on the crib, saw that his two younger brothers had candy in their mouths, and stretched out their hands anxiously, yelling "Ahhh".

Jiao stuffed him with a piece of candy, held him in his arms, and continued: "Only when a cub is exposed to the breath of the wild can it arouse wildness and become a beast. The sooner this process, the better. The sooner the cub can transform into a beast." Become a beast, the more accurate and powerful your mastery of the beast will be in the future."

He rubbed Lu Jiuyuan's head and shook his head, "There was once an orc in the altar tribe who doted on his cub so much that he didn't want him to go out hunting, thinking that he could raise the cub until he was an adult and then let him go out... As a result That little orc will be like a sub-beast when he grows up, and he won't be able to transform into a beast at all."

Lu You was taken aback, and his expression slightly retracted.

——If an orc can't transform into a beast, isn't it almost like a human?

"My father is the leader, and he is usually very busy, so it took me about three months before he took me out hunting." Jiao recalled his father whom he had not seen for many years, and his eyes flashed with nostalgia, "Generally, orcs usually go out in two or three months. Only take them out when the cubs are able to walk on their own."

The younger you are, the stronger your protector will be when facing danger.

Jiao is confident that he can protect his three cubs now.

Since it is beneficial to the growth of the cub, Lu Er did not object any more.It's just that he was concerned about another thing: "With the development of agriculture and animal husbandry in the future, there will definitely be fewer and fewer occasions that require hunting. Will that affect the development of the orcs?"

He only considered the stabilizing effect of agriculture on primitive society before, but he didn't consider that the orcs themselves might still need the stimulation of this primitive wildness.

Jiao thought for a while, but he didn't think it was that serious: "It shouldn't be... It doesn't have to be a bloody fight to arouse the cub's wildness, running, roaring, fighting, all actions that can be performed in the animal state are fine, I think It won't make a difference."

Lu You lowered his head and thought for a while, and felt that it made some sense, then he smiled and said, "I'm the one who got into a dead end."

Jiao put the two cubs on the kang, sat next to Lu You, hugged Lu Xuemao from Lu You's arms to one side, and wrapped his arms around Lu You's waist: "Don't worry so much, you bring it to us. is good enough.”

Full granaries, plump livestock, all kinds of vegetables, courtyard houses that are warm in winter and cool in summer...

Lu You looked at Jiao's sincere face, her heart moved slightly, and she turned to kiss Jiao's face lightly.

The horns tightened some of the arms, and the breathing became a little rough.

At this time, they suddenly heard a loud cry of "Wow" from the side, and the two looked over together, and found that Lu Jiu was grabbing the candy from Lu Xuemao's mouth, which made Lu Xuemao cry.

Lu Jiu seemed startled by his second brother's crying, let go of his hand, and started crying after a while.

Lu You and Jiao hurriedly hugged each other and coaxed them up.

There is no reason to talk to a child of this age. Lu Wei watched Lu Jiu with a headache holding a new piece of candy while sobbing and crying while licking the candy, and nodded his nose: "Don't compete with your brother for candy !"

The little guy couldn't understand what he was talking about. Seeing his father stretching out his hand, he smelled the sweetness of the candy on Lu Er's fingers. He opened his mouth to bite and sucked it, but he didn't taste the sweetness. He let it go in disappointment, and turned his head to continue. eat sugar.

Lu You didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and wiped the drool on his fingers with a piece of animal skin handkerchief, wondering if he could start to study papermaking and make paper towels.

The corner over there also frantically made Lu Xuemao happy, sighed and looked at Lu Jiu who seemed to be fine, "I wish you could be as obedient as your third child."

Lu An was not disturbed by his two elder brothers just now, nor was he scared to cry later, he just lay there peacefully, smacking his lips and savoring the taste of candy.

The three cubs looked similar when they were born, but after more than a month, their different personalities began to emerge.

The old Dalujiu is impulsive and mischievous, and he wants to taste everything he sees; the second child Lu Xuemao has a stable temper, but is very protective of food; the third child Lu An is extraordinarily soft, and he does everything slowly, which makes Lu Er worried Did Xu Jiu's third son suffer from some kind of dystocia?

But Jiao fed his blood to little Lu An, and the little guy didn't show anything else.After a long period of observation, Lu Wei found that little Lu An was just slow-tempered, and there was no problem in other aspects, so he was somewhat relieved.

Now that I have decided to take the three little ones with me, there are a lot of things to prepare.

In addition to the baby supplies that Lu Er felt necessary, there were also people who could help take care of the three cubs.

Old Priest, Zhan, and Mang must be brought along, Teng is responsible for staying behind the tribe, and Lie and Yong Dingjiao are here to give further special training to the orcs of the Redwood tribe...

Considering that the site of the Redwood Tribe had been abandoned for more than a year, Jiao specially brought one of the beaver brothers there to make some furniture for Lu Er and the three cubs.

If it wasn't for the lack of manpower, he even wanted to take a construction team to build a house for Lu Er over there.

Lu You watched Jiao's busy ups and downs, and while being moved, a thought suddenly popped up in his heart.

——Since the tribe is very familiar with that area, there are copper mines there, and there are trees and forests to be planted there...

——Why not just build a sub-horde?

This proposal was approved by Jiao, but Teng was a little puzzled: "Our tribe doesn't have that many people now, right?"

After merging the Jufang tribe, their size can barely be considered a medium-sized tribe, far worse than that of the Heihe tribe.

"The old site of the tribe is mainly mining and farming. There is no core technology. It can directly absorb wandering orcs or small broken tribes." Lu Er now has a clear understanding of the tribal status of the orc society. "Before the cold season, If many small tribes and wandering orcs feel that they can't survive the cold season, they will look for big tribes to join—these people can gather at our old site."

The short-term "counterattack" against God's Punishment Wasteland is still in the experimental stage, and the orcs can be slowly recruited.The land over there has been reclaimed once, and it is very convenient to reuse it.

Teng thought for a while, and thought it was reliable, he nodded: "Then I'll arrange someone to inquire about it."

That being the case, there are many more people who want to take them to the old site.Jiao directly called most of the construction team.

After procrastinating and preparing for a while, they finally embarked on the road to the boundary of God's Punishment.
