Prehistoric Survival Records

Chapter 59 Nursing and Germination

Under Li Capitalist Ge Fei's voluntary overtime and no overtime wages, the [-]-acre experimental field project was successfully completed.

However, it is not possible to grow anything in this field now. Although it has been burned, the insect eggs and various hatching pests in the deeper places are turned up with the soil. When the temperature is high, they just break out of their shells. No matter what they plant , the seedlings have not been fed pests.

Lige didn't care about the loss of some green crops, but potatoes and wild ginger are relatively rare things, and there is nowhere to find them nearby. Besides, it took a lot of hard work to save more than 100 catties from the mouths of these foodies. Leave it as a seed, if you really feed the pests, there is no place to cry.

Rieger thought about making some insecticide himself and sprinkling it on the ground. In fact, if there was quicklime, sprinkling it in a circle would also have some effect, but let alone quicklime, he didn't even see a piece of limestone.

Fortunately, in order to make insect repellent sachets, I picked a lot of poisonous ivy along the way, and found Mangcao (shaped like star anise, poisonous) in the nearby forest. The sap was soaked out, and a few water ladles were made from trees, and the flying-feathered orcs carried the pots to fly to a low altitude, and poured this simple "insecticide" down with the water ladles, and wiped out every [-] acres of land. The corners are all splashed in place. I hope this hard work will not be in vain, and it can suppress the pests and diseases to some extent.

After spraying the pesticides, Lige gave these orcs a day off. They were so aggrieved in the field these days, and they were told to run around.

He himself dug out the potatoes and wild ginger that had been reserved for planting, looking for buds in the sun.

The bud eyes of potatoes are easy to find. Every small spot on the tuber is a bud eye. When Lige finds a bud eye, he cuts off the bud eye and the tuber with a stone knife and puts it aside for later use. Each bud eye can be cultivated It grows into a complete potato plant. In fact, it is best to bury the whole potato in the soil together with the buds, but the quantity is not enough, so I have to cut it off and win by quantity.

The buds of wild ginger are easier to find. In fact, after these days of storage, many wild gingers have sprouted green buds on the sharp corners. Just cut off the ginger meat and press it into the soil.

In addition to potatoes and wild ginger, Rigg also had a small bag of soybeans in his collection, which was the only ration left by the dog tribe. Nora was about to pour the bag into the boiling water that day, but Rigg stopped him with a scream. The precious soybeans, how can they be boiled casually? Lige saved this bag like a little lover. It is said that the tribe bought soybeans from the Xirang tribe last year, and asked the tribe to give Nora a lot of meat to cook. In exchange, Rigg didn't care how embarrassed Nora was holding a pile of meat, he just stared at his precious soybean with bright eyes.

Rieger spent a whole day processing the potatoes and wild ginger. The incisions were covered with a layer of clean plant ash and placed on the animal hide sprayed with light salt water to prevent the wound from deteriorating.

The cut potatoes and ginger pieces cannot be kept for a long time, and they must be planted in time the next day, so Rieger got up very early in the morning, and hurried his farmers to work in the field before the sun rose.

Put the potato buds with their eyes facing up into the dug holes on the ridge platform, cover them with a loose layer of soil, and one potato is planted, and then dig another hole about a palm away, and plant potatoes.

According to this method, the potatoes are evenly planted on the ridge, and the wild ginger is more convenient. There is no need to dig the hole, and the ginger pieces are directly pressed into the mud, and the buds are exposed to the air.

There are [-] acres of land planted with wild ginger and potatoes. Although the amount of soybeans is not much, one mu of land is planted per cent. Among the three plants planted, only soybeans need a small amount of watering, so water is used to water each pit. One teaspoon is enough water.

The planting of potatoes, wild ginger and soybeans is completed, and the next step is the daily management and maintenance of the field. But for the time being, there is nothing to manage. Although I plant it with confidence, theoretically, no matter whether the seeds are good or not, they should be able to take root Sprout something.

In theory, this is the case, but in fact Rieger can’t guarantee it. Who knows whether the prehistoric climate and plant habits are the same as those in the previous life. He didn't brag about how much he had to wait for the harvest. He felt that he was more modest and prudent.

In the past few days when Lige was busy ordering people to tend the fields, the brick embryos in the open space by the river were piled up into mountains.

After finishing his work in the field, Lige rushed to the river without stopping. Gal and the others were taking the first batch of bricks to dry for inspection. Lige was satisfied that the batch of bricks had dried completely Ready for firing.

The burning of the first batch of bricks was naturally done by the experienced brothers Gal and Billy. Since there was no extra charcoal on hand, they could only cut a large amount of dry wood as fuel. None of them are so sensitive. If the mud embryo is placed in the middle of a piece and left empty, it will be burnt.

Lige took a look and found that there were not only brick embryos by the river, but also a lot of pottery embryos made out of the clay by the tribe. They were all placed in a shaded place to dry. In the pottery kiln, these embryos are completely dried and can be fired seamlessly.

Tsk, the self-consciousness has been tempered, which is very good.

When the first batch of red bricks were still hot, the impatient Gal conscripted him to build a pottery kiln.

This is also understandable. A lot of pots and pans in the tribe were lost on the road, and a lot were killed under the paws of the dogs. The few remaining were soaked in insecticide by Rieger, and they were completely useless. There is a lack of containers in the past two days, and everyone's dining table in the tribe has returned to the level of fire and barbecue. This makes Gal, who has gradually become accustomed to all kinds of fried, stewed and boiled delicacies, how to bear it. New bowls were fired to bring the food back to normal.

Gall's move won the unanimous approval of all orcs.

When the first kiln clay pot was successfully fired, all the orcs came to watch. The smooth and beautiful pot was playing with the rough palms of the orcs. The successful firing of the pot was a reassurance for the orcs. At least it proves that they have fully mastered this firing method and technology. As long as they have raw materials, they can burn such beautiful and useful pots no matter where they go.

Just when Rigg and the others were celebrating their successful pottery firing, Eddie rushed over from a distance, out of breath and dragged Rigg away. Rigg thought something happened in the farmland Unexpectedly, I ran to the edge of the field to see that there was a piece of tender green on the ridge. It turned out that the plants that had been planted had sprouted.

This is really good news. Rieg carefully observed the potato seedlings, and the germination rate was much better than he expected. If the potatoes can grow, it is estimated that the [-] mu can harvest several thousand catties. The genetically modified seeds are not comparable, but after these potatoes mature, you can select many large, plump and round tubers for seedlings. I believe that after generations of selection, the yield will gradually increase.

The growth of wild ginger seedlings is also very good, and it grows faster than potatoes. According to the growth characteristics and uses of ginger, these gingers can be harvested twice after they mature. Young ginger has a light pungent taste, juicy and palatable, and can be used as a vegetable It is very good to eat directly, whether it is pickled sour ginger slices or hot pot. The rest can be saved for picking old ginger. Old ginger has the largest yield and strong spicy taste, so it is the most suitable seasoning.

Some soybean sprouts have also sprouted, but compared with the emergence rate of potatoes and ginger, the sprouting rate of soybeans is not very good.

The main reason is that this mouthful of soybeans was not well preserved, some were eaten away by insects, and some were moldy. Li Ge planted it purely to try his luck. I didn't expect to be able to grow two-thirds of it, but it was beyond Li Ge's Luckily for his medical treatment, although the amount is not large, the growth cycle of soybeans is only four months, which means that at least two crops can be harvested a year. He does not believe that after two seasons, their tribe will still be short of soybean seeds.

Although half of the [-] mu of experimental field is empty, Lige firmly believes that it will be fully filled with grain in the near future.

The brick kiln began to produce bricks one after another. According to Lige's design, a landmark was marked 1000 meters away from the wasteland tribe.

In his mind, Rieg enlarged the design drawing in equal proportions to the grassland, and marked it with lines and stakes. Only two orcs were left to watch the field, and ten more orcs were assigned to continue burning bricks, pottery and charcoal by the river. , and the rest who have the ability to work are gathered together - digging the foundation.

The design drawing is an imitation of the ancient village of the Huaxia people in Lige's memory, and then according to the tribe's orc characteristics and actual use, a certain degree of redundancy has been deleted.

In Rieg's vision, a safe and long-term residence should be strong, comfortable and have certain defensive capabilities. Although he never doubted the combat effectiveness of the orcs, a wise man should take all aspects into consideration. Besides, it is easy to build and difficult to modify. It is better to be thoughtful from the beginning than to find out if you need it later.

So the orcs took stone picks, hoes, rakes and all kinds of wooden shovels, and dug a trench in full swing. After the trench was dug, filled with water, and the banks were reinforced, it became a moat. Block the attacker's footsteps.

Considering the incredible jumping power of the orcs here, the trench was designed to be very wide, and it took a full ten days to dig this trench.

During these ten days, Rieger was not idle, but directed other orcs to chop wood, tamp the ground, and lay a solid foundation.

After laying the foundation, you can build the wall according to the hammer line. The adhesive material is fully beaten clay mixed with straw. Although it is not as good as the cement with glue added in the previous life, the buildings of the orcs are not as fancy and heavy as in the previous life, etc. After the clay dries, the weight of the bricks will also make them stick together firmly. As long as there is no deliberate collision, there is absolutely no problem in daily use.

Considering the monsoon on the prairie, Lige did not use a flat brick roof, but a slanted roof, with animal skins on the innermost layer and thick palm leaves on the outer layer, and the roots were tied tightly with straw ropes to prevent wind and wind. The rain is light and breathable, and the palm leaves have aged after a few months. You can also remove the old top and replace it with a new one, which is very convenient.
