Take Baidu to the Wilderness

Chapter 16 Rice Seedlings

The clansmen who went out to look for rice came back.

Tori walked in the front, holding a large pile of green seedlings in his arms, which seemed to be rice seedlings.In the hands of the clansmen following behind, some were holding green seedlings like Tori, while others were carrying some small animals, which seemed to be caught by chance on the road.

It happened that the pottery was finished, and everyone greeted it together.Yan Tu thought about rice like crazy, he didn't drink porridge or rice for several days, now when he saw a plant suspected to be a rice seedling, he couldn't control it.

Tempted by the delicious rice, Yan Tu was like a donkey with a carrot hanging in front of his eyes.

The young seedlings are uprooted. The whole plant is about [-] centimeters high. The leaves are green and slender, so tender that water can be squeezed out, which makes people like it.

Yan Tu took a plant out of Tori's hand and opened the system Baidu Rice. Although he was happy, he was not overly happy.What kind of rice seedlings are like? He only guesses based on the appearance of the mature rice, which is not accurate. After all, there are many similar plants in the world. Without physical comparison, he can't be sure.

After comparing and comparing with the pictures from Baidu many times, and then looking at the morphological characteristics, Yan Tu smiled when he was confident enough: "It's rice."

As the words fell, the clansmen breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, their hard work was not in vain. The staple food in the future will be available. After the rice grows, they will no longer have to take risks to hunt every day.

The rice seedlings have been found, and the next step is to plant them.Yan Tu doesn't understand this, and his understanding of rice is limited to the fact that the fruit of rice is rice, which can be eaten; rice seedlings need to be transplanted in the process of planting rice;

However, Yan Tu knew that the plants would not live long after being uprooted.

It needs to be transplanted quickly.Yan Tu continued on Baidu, how do you transplant rice seedlings?

With that, the whole process of rice planting!Click to see.

After the seedlings are born, it is necessary to turn the soil, fertilize, irrigate, transplant the seedlings, and prevent and control diseases.Yan Tu's fingers lingered on the word "fertilization" for a while. Where can I find organic fertilizer under this condition?It is unrealistic for everyone to solve the reincarnation of the five grains immediately. It seems that what can be done is to let the rice grow freely after transplanting.

To plant rice seedlings, you must have a rice field. No one in the tribe has ever planted anything, not to mention a rice field with water, and there is no dry land for growing vegetables.

There is no other way but to open it immediately.Although it looks like it is now, artificial planting is no different from wild, but at least it is in the tribe and will not be trampled by wild animals.

Considering the fact that rice fields need to have water all year round, Yan Dang plans to open up a few acres of land directly on both sides of the stream.In this case, first of all, it is very convenient to divert water, and secondly, these two places are open spaces, and they are empty anyway, so it is better to use them.

The two sides of the stream are close to the woods, but there is also a distance from the woods. The grassland area in the middle is quite large. Along the stream bank, at least four acres of land can be opened up within sight.

The other side of the stream is close to the cave where everyone lives. There is more open space here. Except for the bare and exposed stones on the ground near the stream, the side near the cave is basically flat land, along the bank of the stream. , the area that can be set aside for rice fields is almost four times that of the opposite bank.This is the result of not including the invisible places upstream and downstream of the stream.

Even if the rice produced is not high, as long as it is not consumed as the only staple food, it is more than enough to supply the entire tribe.But if they planted it this way, the seedlings that Tori and the others pulled back would not be enough.

Yan Tu explained the analyzed situation, and after Tori agreed, he said that it was not a problem: "Today, we will open up fields and introduce streams, and tomorrow morning I will take people to dig more rice seedlings."

As Tori said, he greeted everyone, and after dividing up the prey that had just been brought back by the way, they began to open up the land.They did not have such convenient tools as machines or shovels, so they had to use stone knives and bone knives to turn over the soil.Fortunately, the blades of these two kinds of knives are quite large, and the diggers are all young and middle-aged people with great strength, so it is not too laborious.

Doing this kind of work, you will sweat the most. Yan Tu is afraid that when they are thirsty, he will drink the stream water directly. Although the water here is safe, environmentally friendly and pollution-free, it is not good if it causes diarrhea, so he specifically mentioned the benefits of boiling water And how to do it, let others go back and boil some boiling water to bring it over.It happened that the pottery pot had just been fired, and everyone felt novel about it, and couldn't wait to try it, so they all took their children, pottery and prey back.

Everyone else left, but Yan Tu didn't follow. He looked at the seedlings that had been temporarily put aside, fearing that the afternoon sun would dry them up and wither them. He couldn't wait to plant the seedlings tomorrow, so he had a whim—put the seedlings in the stream Soak in.

The more Yantu thought about it, the more he felt that it made sense. With enough water, he would not be afraid of the sun no matter how much it got exposed to the sun. What's more, he could transplant it in the morning after only one afternoon.

The water in the stream is very slow and not deep, it is very suitable for soaking things, and it is not easy to drift away with the current.

Even so, just in case, Yan Tu went to the forest on the opposite side and pulled a few rattans, tied one end to the seedlings, and tied the other end to the big rock on the bank.

You're done, Yan Tu clapped his hands, so everything is safe!

After solving the crisis of drying out the seedlings, Yan Tu took the pottery pots he had been given earlier, filled them with water, put them together and brought them back to the cave.

After returning to the cave, he did not boil the water immediately, but turned back again, and after bringing back the remaining bowls, spoons and prey, he poured the clear water from the pottery pot into another pottery pot that was intact and had no cracks, and started a fire. start to burn.

Compared with stone pots, ceramic pots have better thermal conductivity, and the water in the pots boils in a short time under the blessing of the fire.It was just burned by fire, and the body of the clay pot was still very hot at this time, Yan Tu dared not touch it directly, so he found two small animal skins in the kitchen, and used them as gloves to insulate the pot before he dared to hold the pot .

Pour the boiling water in the clay pot back into the previous pot, then hang the empty clay pot back on the rack, fill it with water and continue heating.

After the water boiled, repeat the previous action. After boiling two pots of boiling water, Yan Tu added some salt to the water to replenish the water and salt they lost at the same time.After adding, because there were too many things to take away, I took the light salt water and pottery bowls to the bank of the stream in two trips.

When Yan Tu delivered the boiled water, there was already someone standing beside him holding a large bowl and drinking water to quench his thirst.It's not that Yan Tu's hands and feet are too slow or others are too fast, but that it was delayed for a while before soaking the seedlings, so it was late.

Fortunately, this is still the period of big pot rice, and the relationship between the clansmen is good. After the water is delivered, it is put aside. If anyone is thirsty, he can go over and drink it from a bowl, so even if Yan Tu boils the water a little later, trust me I was not thirsty either.

After putting the boiled water aside for their convenience, Yan Tu noticed the progress of the rice field reclamation.

People in the tribe are different from modern people. They have great strength. Although they are not familiar with farm work, they stumbled a bit at the beginning, but after they got off the ground, they picked up their speed. Coupled with the fact that there are so many people, it only takes a while to boil water. , they have already opened up quite a small piece of land.

The people of the tribe are currently concentrating on the side of the cave to cultivate, and a long and narrow rice field has been built along the bank of the stream. The position of the field is in the middle, and there is a considerable distance between the cave and the stream, leaving room for everyone's daily activities or future activities. The open space for wanting to do something else, the land is well planned.

The young and middle-aged people are still immersed in the cultivation. Occasionally, one or two people stop to drink water when they are thirsty, and then go back immediately after drinking. No one took the opportunity to be lazy.As they sweated more and more while working, the sun gradually went down.

Although this is not the caveman period in history, most of the laws of nature are similar to modern times, and the setting sun also means that this day is almost over.

After the water was delivered, they watched on the sidelines. The clansmen who cheered up by the way looked up at the position of the sun, and led the children back. It was time to make dinner.

Yan Tu went back with them. As a cowardly nerd, the heaviest things he ever carried were probably the computer and the drawing board he carried when he went out to sketch, so he didn't overpower himself and went forward to cultivate with Tori and the others. Instead, he consciously classifies himself as the weak among the old, the weak, women and children, and is very measured.

As a result of this measure, he should go back to cooking now, so that Tori won't be hungry again when he comes back after dark.

Ella was originally walking in the front, but gradually slowed down, and finally stood side by side with Yan Tu, who was at the back.

Yan Tu didn't pay attention at first, and it wasn't until after walking for a short distance that he realized that Aila probably had something to say, and was about to ask her what's the matter. : "Can you teach us how to make soup?" After speaking, he looked expectantly at Yan Tu, for fear that he would refuse.

"Do not……"

As soon as Yan Tu spoke, she was interrupted before she finished speaking. Ella was a little disappointed, but she still smiled and thanked Yan Tu.

"Listen to me." Seeing that Ella misunderstood, Yan Tu couldn't laugh or cry, and explained: "I just wanted to say that I don't need to teach. After reading it so many times, everyone will actually do it. Just go back and do it directly. Li and I discussed this matter at noon today, but there were a lot of things at noon, so I wanted to postpone it, and now you mentioned it just right, so you don’t need to ask me about it in the future.”

The twists and turns, Yan Tu's words surprised Aila, and the other clansmen who noticed Yan Tu's movement, deliberately slowed down and pricked up their ears, were also very happy to hear it. Although they had already learned how to cook, But without the consent of Abu Kuna, according to the regulations, it is still not allowed to cook in private.It's all right now, and when you're hungry and want to eat, you can cook such a pot anytime.
