Self-clothing and adequate food and clothing through crossing

Long Che grabbed the fat long worm that was twisting happily in Qiu Hao's hand, held it up to his eyes for a closer look, and said thoughtfully, "It shouldn't be a legless worm. The patterns and colors of the legless worms are different, and the tail It's not the same, and it doesn't live in the soil." Indeed, the hornless worm's tail is smooth and slender, forming a line, but this worm's tail has tiny forks.

While talking, he grabbed the bug and walked to the shore, maybe Shang Chen knew it.

Shang Chen's eyes lit up, he opened his mouth and laughed, his brows and eyes were curved, and he took the opportunity to introduce to everyone: "This is indeed not the poisonous legless insect you mentioned, it is a loach, and it likes to live by lakes with deep mud Shallow water areas such as lakes, ponds, paddy fields, ditches, etc. In hot summer, loach will burrow into the soil to spend the summer, and in cold winter, loach will burrow deep into the soil to spend the winter. The vision is weak, but the sense of touch and taste are extremely sensitive As soon as they sense danger, they drill into the soil as quickly as possible. They like to eat a variety of insects and some grass plants in the water. However, loaches are a special kind of fish. When the river or pond dries up, the fish at the bottom The silt has begun to crack, and other fish are generally dead, but the loach can still survive in the mud for a long time. At this time, the vent holes of the loach can be found on the cracked mud, and it is easy to determine the location of the loach and catch it .”

Long Che keenly captured the most useful information, and asked, "Since it's fish, can it be eaten?"

Regarding food, everyone here is very concerned about it. The child who just answered Long Che's question immediately opened his eyes with hope, and asked: "Brother Long Che, can you really eat it? There is not much water here. When you help with the field, can you find a lot to catch and eat?" The children and old people who came from behind all looked forward to the poor loach that was bouncing around in Long Che's hand.

Shang Chen smiled sincerely into so many pairs of hopeful eyes, and said plainly: "Yes, you can catch loach and eat it while farming the fields, but there is one thing to pay attention to. You are very careful when you work. But you should also pay attention to your body at all times, and you must not force yourself. Our life will get better and better in the future. If the body continues to deteriorate, no matter how good life is, we will not be able to participate in it. In addition, you catch these loaches back Then put them in clean water for two days, let them spit out the sand in their mouths, and then I will teach you how to make this dish."

"Ah, it's really edible. It's great. You don't need to go into the water or go out to look for it. It's a good idea to be able to work and catch loaches." Usually, the tribe not only deals with leather and meat, but also goes out to pick some rare fish. Wild vegetables and fruits, the orcs, young men, and little orcs in the family can do these jobs, and there is no need for my group of old, weak, sick and disabled to help. My group of people can only be regarded as useless idlers in the tribe. Not only that, they have to be raised all the time, some are in poor health, and the tribe also has to offer herbs.Every time I think about this, especially in the cold season, sometimes I really want to die immediately, living can only drag down the tribe, what qualifications do I have to live!Now that I can finally do something, I am happy and full of hope. Maybe in the future, my group of people can still become a useful person instead of just waiting to die.

"Brother Shang Chen, don't worry, we will be obedient, as long as we can help and do something, we will be very happy, and we must take care of our health."

"Brother...Brother... We are in good health, don't worry, I will be able to work, as long as there is food to fill our stomachs, our health will definitely recover, and then we will be like you Strong, really." A boy who looks about the age of six or seven in modern times, but according to Shangchen, the children here are generally older and taller, so this child may only be about five years old.

At this moment, with a big head and a thin body, he grabbed Shang Chen's skirt and turned up his sallow and skinny face to reassure him. He was afraid that Shang Chen would let him go back later because of his health, which would be bad. It’s hard to find food to eat, how can I go back, I must seize the opportunity to feed myself, during the cold season, no one has extra food to feed themselves, the only reliable thing is to store as much as possible A little food, maybe I can really support myself by then, as long as I survive the cold season, I can survive. I am only five years old this year, and I haven't lived for a long time, so I don't want to die.

Shang Chen felt sad for a while, squatted down, hugged the poor but sensible child, stretched out a hand to smooth the hair on his forehead, showed a gentle smile, and said, "It's okay, as long as you feel If your body can continue to work, no one will stop you. No matter who it is, even your brother Long Che, you will get tired from work. When you are tired, you should take a proper rest. This is a normal thing , so you should also pay attention to rest, huh?" He sighed silently, such a small child was struggling desperately to survive, rushing to work, just not to be abandoned.

The child was hugged in his arms at once, and those eyes that became bigger because of his thinness looked straight at Shang Chen. Shang Chen's gentle smile and reassuring words gave the child a burst of belief that he might really be able to Live well.Immediately overjoyed, he touched Shang Chen's hair boldly, and said cheerfully: "Brother, I know that you have learned a lot of new food and storage methods, well, you will definitely do it if you say you will, I will be very obedient .”

Shang Chen touched the child's face, it was really skinny, endured the soreness in his heart, blinked his eyes, and said, "You are right, so we all work hard together."

A crisp voice sounded: "Okay, brother, let's work hard together."

The crowd working in the field talked in twos and threes: "Hey, why didn't I pay attention to this fish called loach, how about you? It's a pity that it died."

"I met it a few times, but I didn't know it. I thought it was a poisonous bug that killed it. If I knew it, I would have caught it. Hey."

"It's a bad thing if you don't know each other. Fortunately, Shang Chen knows, otherwise we would still kill him."

"Hey, here's one. It's big and fat."

"Yeah... I have it here too, if you don't catch it this time, let's see where you go?"

"Hurry up, run away, run away, go over there, go into the soil."

"Forget about running away. The work is important. We can't delay the work. Let the children and old people on the bank catch these loaches. It's important for us to work harder." A slightly older man in the crowd , the face with traces left by the years is full of yearning for future life, gently reminding everyone not to forget to work.

"You come down to clear the field, and if you see the loach, grab it back. Men don't dig the soil first, just dig it roughly like we do. Let the children and the old people clean the soil for a while, and you can do it when they are tired." Frye stood Loud yelling among the crowd.

Shang Chen once again had the idea of ​​digging out pears and rakes. It is really laborious to dig the ground completely by hand. If there are no pears, it would be good if there were rakes, so there is no need for children and old people to do it again carefully. But it’s not neat, and the rice can’t be planted, so we can’t just let the boss plant it together. Now it’s fast for the elderly, children, orcs to join the battle.

The crowd on the shore was attracted by the shouts in the field, and immediately went down to join the lineup. After a while, it was very lively, and everyone had bright smiles on their faces. The rising sun, the morning glow is all over the sky.

This summer and autumn and winter, I have already caught several loaches in my hands. There is a gap in the basket behind it, so I just gave it to the children. The children squinted their eyes with joy.

Torre took everyone to several places where rice seedlings were found, and caught some bamboo rats and pheasants one after another on the way, and brought them back to Xi Rui and Zhuo Kai to raise them.

Later, a total of four rice seedling fields were found. After careful inspection, Shang Chen found that there were three places of japonica rice and one place of glutinous rice.The last seedling paddy field is in the middle of a bamboo forest. The location is hidden, and the surrounding trees are shaded. When the breeze blows, the rustling of bamboo leaves and the sound of insects are very comfortable and cool. It is estimated that it will be done here in summer. You won't feel stuffy when you live, it's really a treasure land of geomantic omen.

Shang Chen pointed to a large piece of japonica rice in an orderly manner and told everyone: "This kind of rice is the rice that we will use as our staple food in the future. The seedling just now is called glutinous rice. It is generally not used as a staple food, but it is essential, because glutinous rice can be made into many kinds. It doesn’t matter if there are fewer seedlings. Our tribe has a lot of people, and these japonica rice seedlings are not enough, and the paddy fields need to be tidied up. After this year’s harvest, we can set aside enough seeds, and the tribe may be able to increase its strength next year. It’s been planted, so make preparations in advance. Hey, I don’t know how the temperature will be. If possible, we can try to divide a few plots of land for two seasons, so that it may be sufficient. Let’s take a look at these later. In short, we have rice Already good."

Qiu Hao reached out and pulled out a handful of weeds, a warm smile appeared on his handsome and resolute face: "Don't worry, it's just the beginning, and we've found a few seedlings. We haven't searched the land to the north carefully yet. Maybe there are rice seedlings hidden in that corner, no matter how bad it is, we can go to a place a little further away to look for it, anyway, except for our tribe, no one in other tribes should know this kind of rice."

Tuo Lei quickly caught a bamboo mouse that was about to run away, and knocked it out. It was still in the frame behind, and asked in surprise: "You mean that you can try to plant two crops of rice, and you can't even out a few more crops. Can a paddy field be planted for two seasons? If it is really successful, wouldn’t it be possible to harvest twice as much?”

Long Che was also quite interested in this, and while going into the water to build a field ridge, he asked, "Is there anything wrong with planting for two seasons?" A fat loach slipped by, grabbed it, and threw it to Qiudong, who caught it again after seeing it. I picked up several loaches, scratched my head and thought of a way, took out a piece of thick leather that was going to eat at noon and laid it on the ground, wrapped the loach whole and tied it tightly and kept it in the basket, so I could eat it even if I died. its.

After Shang Chen pulled out the few weeds he saw, he followed everyone into the water to build the field ridge, and he did not forget to answer: "Because of the temperature, the two seasons of rice must be added together to compare the harvest of one season." Many, but the harvest in a single season is not very good, and the amount of labor will be doubled, everyone is too hard. We are trying to plant two seasons for the first time, and we have no experience. Maybe the final harvest is not very good. We still have to wait until Let’s take our time when the planting technology matures.”
