Beginning Backpack [Farming]

The water season in Linshanyuan changes a lot. The first two days were still wet and cold with misty rain. Today, it suddenly rained and the sky cleared, sweeping away the dull and depressing feeling.

The gurgling brook shone with tiny lights in the sun, indicating that there will be a long period of wonderful time with clear sky and clear air.

Shen Huaijin was woken up by crisp cries and vague conversations. He looked around the room and found that Li was no longer in the room.

"Why did he get up so early today?"

Shen Huaijin muttered to herself, lazily moved to the wall, and opened the glass window.In an instant, the sound of communication outside the house came in clearly.

It turned out that Lin and the others couldn't wait to rush to the base to start work when they saw Tianqing.The orcs who were in charge of building the city wall were also anxious to continue working, and early in the morning they moved out the cement and other materials that were stored everywhere.One by one, everyone moved the things to the edge of the city wall at an extremely fast speed.There are a few quick moves that have already started construction.

Seeing everyone in full swing, Shen Huaijin seemed to be refreshed. He stretched his limbs, washed up and went to see the brewing of soybean and soy sauce.

Since changing to a new house, the thatched cottage that has not been demolished has become Shen Huaijin's special place for brewing. After all, the ventilation and lighting are good there, and it is not easy to be contaminated with dust.

Shen Huaijin set up the window and let the sunlight pour in.

The two tanks of soybean soy sauce in the house have been fermented for nearly half a year and have turned a deep reddish brown.Because the soy sauce does not need to be stirred for a long time in the later stage, the mixture has now layered, with soy sauce residue on the bottom and soy sauce that has not been skimmed of impurities on the top, and it even feels a little oily in the sun.

The soybean soy sauce brewed in two tanks has already exuded a full of soy sauce aroma. Shen Huaijin took a deep breath and began to think about its various uses.

It happened that there was nothing to do in the morning, so Shen Huaijin casually ate some hot food for breakfast, and after gaining strength, he began to deal with the soy sauce in a leisurely manner.

He scooped up the soy sauce residue with a big spoon, poured it on a clean sackcloth, wrapped it all up, and squeezed out the soy sauce from the residue.

With his great efforts, the soy sauce can dye the linen cloth reddish brown, and when it passes through the gaps, small bubbles bulge up, and finally all the remaining soy sauce flows into the clean barrel.

The remaining soy sauce residue accounts for a huge proportion, and there are many essences in it, so it cannot be wasted.Shen Huaijin was very frugal, adding salt water to it and filtering it, and repeated it twice before giving up.

He poured the soy sauce into the pot in batches and heated it, skimmed off the foam that floated on the surface after it boiled for a while, turned off the heat and allowed it to cool down, then the soy sauce could be used directly.

After filtration, the soy sauce, which was boiled over low heat and impurities were skimmed off, looked extraordinarily clear. Shen Huaijin immediately scooped up a small amount with a spoon and put it in his mouth to taste it carefully.

The taste of beans is gone, and the fragrance has also been transformed into the thick and mellow taste of soy sauce. Not only that, the homemade soy sauce tastes salty and fresh, and the quality is excellent.

Shen Huaijin took another sip before pouring the soy sauce into the containers with satisfaction.

The empty vat can just be used by Shen Huaijin to make wine.It's just that he was going to fetch glutinous rice, Yan came to the door first, and directly made his request.

"Jin, you see the weather is so good now, can we start farming?"

"There is no need to be in such a hurry to plant the land." Shen Huaijin said softly, he asked Yan to sit at the stone table for a while, and poured him a cup of tea.

Yan rubbed the rim of the cup with his thumb, a little worried, "Jin, you must move fast yourself. I am mainly afraid that everyone will be clumsy and unable to keep up with your pace. It will be bad if we miss the good time for farming."

Yan has long had the idea of ​​learning to farm, so he usually pays attention to it, knowing that Shen Huaijin is very concerned about weather and time when farming.

Shen Huaijin smiled helplessly, and comforted her: "How can you think so complicatedly. But what you said is also reasonable. During this period of time, it is time to reclaim the land. By the way, we should also dry the seeds, and plant the soil together at that time. Also convenient."

"Hey!" Hearing what he said, the expression on Yan's face also relaxed, and he drank the water in the glass in two or three sips, and said, "Jin, then I'll go back and inform everyone that we'll take at least one day out first. Let’s learn together, learn as much as you can.”

Shen Huaijin nodded, "Okay."

Shen Huaijin and Yan have the same idea. No matter which group of people are involved in the complex farming, the members of the entire tribe will have to learn it first.And for Shen Huaijin, the more thorough the teaching in the early stage, the easier it will be for him in the later stage. At that time, he only needs to take care of his own one-acre three-point land.

Under Yan's instructions and everyone's own curiosity, everyone quickly set aside a day, all the staff were idle, and devoted themselves to learning how to farm with Shen Huaijin.

Regarding the types of food to be planted, Yan decided on potatoes and rice at the beginning. The rest of the tribe had no other ideas, so Shen Huaijin naturally had no objections.In short, there are quite a few of these two kinds of seeds left, and he can squeeze them out if he eats less in the future.

Shen Huaijin first led everyone to draw a planting area. This time, everyone had their own opinions. Some people thought that it should be closer to the stream to facilitate irrigation;

Shen Huaijin pondered for a moment, and said unhurriedly: "What you said makes sense. For irrigation, I will build a bamboo road like I did in the future, or I will try to make a water tanker when the time comes, as long as the ground is not far from the stream. If it's too far away, it's not a problem."

"As for whether it is far or close to the house, it has to be considered in many ways. It is naturally convenient to be close to here. But everyone must consider that we will soon build a new house, plan our tribe, or even twenty During the severe cold, our tribe will attract a lot of new life. At that time, the residential area will inevitably need to be expanded. The location downstream of the stream is reserved by me for the industrial area, which means that some kilns or weaving areas will be built there. There is no space for other houses to be built in cloth spinning and paper mills.”

"In that case." Li rubbed his chin thoughtfully, "Then let's try to move the location of the fields upstream, and free up the middle space for future planning and expansion of the tribe."

"That's right." Shen Huaijin gave him an approving look, "The upper reaches are relatively vast, and you don't get involved much. In fact, there are many edible plants such as ginger and perilla, but most of them are gathered far away. When we open the land, we just need to be careful not to destroy those naturally growing plants.”

In this way, everyone had a rough range, and Yan made a final decision, "Okay, just do as Jin said!"

Finally, it was drawn in the middle and upper reaches of the stream close to the water flow, which happened to be opposite the cave where the hairy beasts lived.

After such a long time of contact, and the precedent of living in the valley during the cold season, now three adult longhorns have also successfully lived in the valley for a long time.The two parties live in harmony. The longhorns stay in the valley when they don’t need to help with the transportation, and help the sub-beasts do things from time to time, and the sub-beasts also love to feed the longhorns with the food they like.

The orcs didn't need to go out, and the longhorned beasts naturally stayed in the valley, their tall bodies lined up behind everyone, and they looked at them curiously with their big eyes open.

Under the guidance of the thin black-haired man, everyone took a shovel and shoveled away the plants around the edge of a large piece of land, and then set fire to the middle piece of land.

The flames and thick smoke caused the longhorns to take two steps back nervously, and howled loudly.

Seeing this, Shen Huaijin turned around a few steps, patted their big ears, and said with a smile, "We've been together for so long, why are you still afraid of this?"

The fire was still burning, Qi stretched his neck, turned around curiously and asked, "Jin, why did you burn the grass first?"

"One is to burn these weeds and their grass seeds, not only to prevent them from competing with the food we planted, but also to use plant ash to fertilize the land. The other is that the land that has been burned will be more fertile. Soft, it will be more convenient for us to cultivate."

"So that's how it is." The others who heard this were suddenly enlightened and nodded. No wonder they could see Shen Huaijin burning the ground on the other side of the stream during the water season. When they saw each other for the first time, they thought it was Jin who accidentally made food. It was lit, and this time I understood the reason.

The fire became smaller and smaller, and it didn't take long for it to go out. So far, this piece of land of about [-] mu has finally been cleared.To be honest, for the members of the entire Dahe Tribe, [-] mu of output is really not enough to eat, but what Shen Huaijin considers is that everyone is still used to collecting and farming for the first time, so there must be a habit process.

The cleared ground was covered with a layer of gray embers, and some exposed rocks were half-hidden in the soil. Everyone went down to the ground, and first dug out those strange things that could not be burnt out, and threw them away. Only then did I take the farm tools and start plowing the land.

Shen Huaijin turned around and was responsible for pointing out the shortcomings of everyone's movements.He rested his left hand on Yang's lower back, so that his back would not have to be so straight, and suggested: "Yang, you can put the hand holding the farm tool a little higher, so as to save effort."

Yang was in a hurry, with a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, he was a little anxious, "Jin, when I put my hand on it, this hoe is very light, I'm afraid it won't be right."

Shen Huaijin was stunned, and then couldn't help laughing, "No." He took the hoe and showed Yang, "It can be cultivated quickly and saves effort. There is not much land to cultivate now, and you don't have the concept yet. When there are more in the future, won’t you be exhausted if you do what you did just now?”

Yang imitated his method, hesitatingly hoeed twice, his eyes lit up, and he said pleasantly: "It's true, it's so smooth!"

With everyone's concerted efforts, a large area of ​​land was overturned, and the extremely nutritious plant ash was covered underneath, while the moist and dark soil was turned up.

"Jin, is this all right?"

"Yes." Shen Huaijin nodded, "Next, prepare the seeds with me."
