After entering the bird tribe, I want to farm

Bai Wu often exchanged things with other tribes, but this was the first time he received such an expensive gift, and he was completely shocked.

He looked at Lu Qing, and then at the clansman behind him, "This, this is too expensive, isn't it suitable?"

"I'll give you a stone pot. We still have two more. Don't you like cooking? There must be something special in a stone pot."

"Yes, but..."

Lu Qing interrupted him with a hearty smile, "Here, just keep it, maybe I need your help next time."

After the crisis in the clan was resolved, the elderly patriarch of the Qing clan regained his cheerfulness, and seemed to be a little younger.

Bai Wu repeatedly refused, but the people of the Qing clan still wanted to give it.

He couldn't beat the Qing people, and finally accepted it, but returned a lot of fat grass and leeks as a gift.

In the end, he almost plucked all the fat grass in the house, dug up a large pile of leeks, and planted the remaining fat grass to the Qing family.

Fat grass grows very fast, seedlings can emerge in three days, and harvest in five days. If they are planted in fertile soil and some fertilizer is applied, they can almost grow five or six stubbles of leaves.

This plant is considered a very qualified emergency food.

After such a toss, the time is approaching the end of the year.

Even the weather is much colder than usual.

Laqi Laba, my jaw is frozen.After this period of cold, spring will begin soon.

This is the first year since Bai Wu regained his memory.

This year has been smooth and smooth. He has gained a lot and put in a lot of hard work. Overall, his life is quite happy.

Thinking of the New Year's Eve, he still felt a little emotional.

Nan Yao and the others didn't feel anything special.

The grandest festival here is the Bird Festival in spring. Chinese New Year is just like a change of seasons from summer to autumn.

Since there is no holiday, we still have to work.

The weather has been warm this year and the soil hasn't frozen yet.

Bai Wu wanted to take advantage of the leisurely winter to reclaim the land.

If we don't cultivate now, when we wait for spring, it is easy to miss the season for planting crops due to busy farming.

The mountain where their home is located is very far away from the tribe, and there is no other family nearby except Nanyao.

Now to reclaim the land, Baiwu chose the fertile river beach.

The river under their feet has a relatively gentle flow. I heard from Nanyao that when there is basically no flood, as long as the river is not too close, the land should not be submerged.

Bai Wu plans to open a paddy field near the river to grow rice and lotus root.

The rice and lotus roots can be reclaimed to grow wheat and other vegetables.

Every vegetable has its own preferences.

Some like shade, some like sun, some are afraid of drought, and some are afraid of waterlogging. These must be carefully planned when reclaiming the land.

Ordinary plants cannot be cropped continuously, but need to be rotated, otherwise the pests and diseases will be very serious, and this must also be taken into consideration.

When cultivating land, the distance between the land and the home and the distance from the Prosperous Valley must also be considered.

Choose a place close to both, and it will be more convenient to go out to do farm work and compost when the time comes.

Bai Wu explained his idea and his family in detail, and asked Nan Yao to listen in by the way.

The family members don't quite understand his designs, they just find them very complicated.

Kishi rubbed his head, "Just say it, let us do it, I can't remember so many things."

"If you don't remember it, you have to say it." Bai Wu smiled, "When I am free someday, write it down and you will know."

"Write?"

"Leave a mark on something with something, and you can understand it when you see the mark later."

Bai Wu really wanted to get some paper out.

If the quality is not required, paper making is not complicated, and you can get a piece of paper with just a few tricks.

It's just that if you really get the text out, the nature will be different.

Bai Wu glanced at Nanyao, and Nanyao looked at him tacitly, with a bit of complexity in each other's eyes.

After Bai Wu finished explaining, he looked at his father and brother, "We don't grow so much food this year, we just need to grow enough for our family, is that okay?"

Chuan rubbed his head with a smile, "It doesn't matter if you have a little variety, we have plenty of strength."

Bai Wu waved his hands, "That's not okay either."

He is very serious, "We can't lose our original life just because we pursue a better life."

His words were a bit convoluted, but the whole family understood.

The lives of the birds and beasts are actually quite happy. The proportion of hunting and gathering time is relatively small every day. After hunting and gathering, the rest is for fun.

Food is also a part of making people happy, and it is not essentially different from other happiness.

When greatly compressing other pleasures to ensure the pleasure of enjoying delicious food, the loss outweighs the gain.

Many people in the tribe think so.

They were indeed envious of all kinds of delicacies in Bai Wu's family, but they felt that they made themselves so tired and irrational in pursuit of delicacies.

What is eating is not eating, so why spend so much extra time just to fill your stomach?

Baiwu does not agree with this concept, and stores more kinds of food, not only to create delicious food, but also to prepare for anti-risk.

He is not the kind of person who can sleep at night when he has no food left at home.

But most of the bird orcs are.

The same goes for Mo and Chuan, but as family members, they are willing to tolerate Bai Wu's thoughts.

Bai Wu estimated that among all the people he knew, the only one who could really understand him was Nan Yao.

Because of his duties, Nanyao attaches great importance to the collection and storage of food. He belongs to the kind of person who must ensure that there is food in the warehouse even if he is very tired.

Seeing the seriousness of the atmosphere, An tried to calm down, "Anyway, it's not tiring to grow something, you can call us for whatever you need."

Bai Wu: "We were not tired before, but not necessarily after that. As more and more work is done in the field, we may also become more and more tired, but it should still be within the tolerable range."

"That's okay. I'll eat the food I grow. I'm willing to grow it. Yafu, Dad, what do you think?"

Chuan looked at his two sons, smiled and said, "We didn't eat less."

The family designated a place to open up wasteland, and started working on the same day.

Land reclamation is not an easy task, there are many plants in the wasteland.

When winter comes, it seems that there are not so many plants on the ground, but once the soil is dug, the roots underneath are densely packed, and the roots grown by any shrub may cover two or three square meters of land.

There are not only plant roots in the soil, but also various stones, bugs, and even small animals.

This is a very tiring job.

Fortunately, they have metal farming tools. Otherwise, according to the previous stone hoes and bone hoes, even if the family is exhausted every day, the soil that can be cultivated is very limited.

Bai Wu had deliberately accumulated before.

After more than half a year of accumulation, there is a lot of food in the utility room of their house.All kinds of dried vegetables, dried meat, bird eggs, pickles, pickles, fermented bean curd, cheese, etc. are neatly placed on the shelves, providing a lot of energy for the heavy physical labor they do every day.

Nan Yao also came to help.

Chuan and Mo originally wanted to stop it.

Nan Yao said to help Bai Wu, and Bai Wu also said that when he harvested food in the future, he would send a portion to Nan Yao, and now he is counted as joining the group.

Chuan and Mo heard what they said, discussed it at night, and finally acquiesced.

Nan Yao worked with their family and ate at their house every day.

Bai Wu is not a stingy person, he is working so hard now, he is never perfunctory in the meals at home, and there are at least three dishes and one soup for each meal.

After such a period of time, although the five of them lost some weight, their mental state was better than before.

It was a state of well-worked and hopeful fullness.

Baiwu likes to work hard first and then easy.

They first reclaimed areas away from water sources.

These places are relatively dry, and the soil is relatively hard, so it is more troublesome to dig.

After these places are reclaimed, the wet land near the river is not a big deal.

As soon as the land was reclaimed, Bai Wu immediately took his family to pick up the manure that had been stored before, pour it on the soil, and mix it with the soil.

These manures have been fermented for a period of time, and the smell is relatively small, and Baiwu feels acceptable.

As for human excrement, that won't work.

All the bird orcs still fly to the woods to solve it.

Kishi was very puzzled, "Didn't you bring the fertilizer over when planting started in spring? That's how you planted things last year."

Bai Wu was so tired that he gasped, "The newly reclaimed fields are too thin and not fertile enough. Pick up the manure first and apply the base manure once. After they are fermented, plant something in the spring. The land will be much more fertile and the crops will grow stronger." growing up."

Now pick up the fertilizer first, and it can be decomposed and fermented first. If fertilizer is applied in spring, it may cause root burn.

And without sufficient degradation, various bacteria and insect eggs in the manure will become a big problem.

Bai Wu is not considered a professional, so he can only do his best to complete the work he can do based on the vague memory of his previous life.

Kishi didn't know what to say, so he could only give Bai Wu a thumbs up, "You just know what to do."

"It's still a few points." Bai Wu called them, "Take a break first, and pick later."

Their family has raised livestock for such a long time, and the accumulated manure is very considerable.

Bai Wu estimated that there will be no shortage of fertilizer next year, and even if it is not raised next year, there will be no shortage of fertilizer in the year after.

I just don't know if there will be people in the tribe who want to grow things. If there are, it may not be enough to distribute a little manure.

Bai Wu thought of this, suddenly remembered, and asked Chuan, "Yafu, have you told the tribe about the fact that we are going to open up wasteland and grow things?"

Chuan stood up, supported his waist and gasped for breath, "Didn't you say that you declined the help from the clansmen?"

Bai Wu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Then you can gently mention to them that we are going to plant things. When spring comes, the season is here, how can they have time to slowly cultivate the land and then plant seeds?"

Chuan waved his hand, "I can't be tactful, if they know that we are reclaiming land, they will definitely come to help."

Bai Wu's family has caused a lot of trouble to the clansmen, and they really don't want to ask them to help.

He turned his head and looked at the rows of land that had been reclaimed, and wiped off his sweat, "Then wait a few more days, when we open up the paddy fields for growing rice and lotus root, even if the reclaiming is over, we will talk to the tribesmen at that time." people said."

Chuan nodded, "I think so too, and I'm not in such a hurry."

Bai Wu shouted to Mo and Nanyao who were working below, "Master Priest, we will finish farming in a few days, can you tell other tribes too? Just say that besides hunting and gathering, there are other sources of food. For their reference."
