Prehistoric Survival Records

Chapter 67 Flax Potatoes Wild Ginger Soya Beans

Thinking of the straw hat, which is a must-have sunshade magic for the farmer's uncle, Rigg rolled over from the ground, not even caring about picking up the dry grass that rubbed into his hair, and ran to the arbor of the two brown bear brothers, Billy, who was sleeping soundly, woke up with a shake. Regardless of Billy's bewildered face after being woken up, he gesticulated and poured out all his thoughts about the straw hat to Billy.

Since Billy has been making all kinds of furniture or other gadgets requested by the orcs, there is nothing lacking in their arbor. Although Rigg knows that there are such things as straw hats, and straw hats don’t seem to be technical. , but he has never tried how to actually edit.

Billy's eyes lighted up after hearing Rigg's thoughts. Even if it doesn't increase the working hours, it would be nice to have something that can be worn on the head every day.

"Tell me about that straw hat again, what it looks like." Billy grabbed some straw and tried to weave it.

"Compared to the shape of the head, a big edge can be turned outside, just to let the shadow fall on the face."

Straw hats are indeed not something that has technical barriers. With Rigg's gestures and Billy's tinkering, a straw hat that fits Rigg's head shape is formed.

Rigg was holding the straw hat, jumping around excitedly, and was about to put it on his head. Charlie stretched out his pointed beak from one side, and took the hay out of Rigg's hair. smile.Put the straw hat on your head, then put your head out of the awning, put it in the sun, retract your head after a few tens of seconds, and pick a thumb at Billy, which means, spirit!

With this, 80.00% of the direct sunlight can be blocked. Although the temperature is still high, at least it is not unbearable. Anyway, Rieger’s eyes feel much better. Before every noon, Rieger’s pupils were covered. The sun shines into a thin vertical line, making it look like squinting. In the era when there were no sunglasses, these things can be regarded as saving his eyes.

Watching Billy make it up once, Rigg learned it too.

The initial steps of weaving straw hats are almost the same as those of weaving baskets. First, take a few pieces of grass and fold them into a rice-shaped shape, and then weave them around the rice-shaped shape with grass leaves. When the weaving is about the same size as your head, try it out, and then break the rice-shaped warp threads outward. Once broken, continue to weave the brim of the hat. Generally speaking, it's that simple.

It took Rieg some time to weave a small hat for Charlie. As a bird with a big head, Charlie's stature is about the same as a small ostrich, but Rieg knows that Charlie has a round head, but he is not big. He is a few circles younger than himself, taking care that the structure of the head of birds is different from that of humans, and the hat is easy to be blown away, and he carefully installed the hat rope for Charlie.

Put the new hat on Charlie's head, and then tie the hat string around Charlie's neck, and a big yellow chicken wearing a straw hat is freshly baked, but Charlie wearing a straw hat looks even more unorthodox.

Charlie obediently put up with the strange head of the straw hat?Taking advantage of Rieger's inattention, he moved his hat back a little bit, giving off the feeling of a Paris Fashion Week model turning her head to the back of her head.

Well, you really just have a natural sense of fashion?chicken.

Taking advantage of the lunch break, Rigg and Billy worked overtime and weaved a lot of straw hats with strings. Later, Gal watched them and joined the knitting army.

When the sun went down a little bit, Rieg knocked on the pots and ran into the sheds of each house, calling out all the orcs.

Zhacha looked at the sky, and shouted: "Erbao, it's still very sunny outside. Don't we usually work after the sun goes down?"

Rieg hooked a finger on the straw hat and spun it, successfully attracting the attention of the orcs.

"Rig, what is that in your hand?"

"It looks fun, is it a new toy?"

Rigg made a fool of himself and said, "This is something newly developed by Billy and I in the afternoon. I call it a cool hat."

"Cool hat, why is it called a straw hat?" Someone was curious.

Rigg pointed his finger at him and waited for you: "That's a good question, why is it called a straw hat?"

"Yeah, why?" the man asked stupidly.

"Of course it's because wearing this hat can make you feel cool. You won't be afraid to walk in the sun."

"Really, it makes people not afraid of the sun?"

"But it looks normal."

Rigg didn't care what they said, instead he raised his hat, swayed in front of the orcs, and at the same time encouraged: "Really, so does anyone want to try it?"

"It's so amazing, I want to try it." Immediately, someone stood up and said that he wanted to try it.

Rigg handed him the straw hat in his hand, and the orc put the straw hat on his head, and ran out into the bright sun.

After wandering around and coming back, he shouted in great surprise: "It's really amazing, my head doesn't feel dizzy at all, it seems like it really feels cool?" Boy, are you sure it's not a psychological effect.

At this moment, other orcs raised their hands one after another: "I want it too, I want it too, give me a try!"

"I'll try it too."

"Take it off, boy, how long have you been wearing it?"

"But, I just wore it..." It didn't take long.

The man wanted to refute, but he had no choice but to give up his hat because he was his uncle although he was not much different in age and had a higher seniority.

After this one also rushed into the sun laughing and laughing, Lige snapped his fingers, and the two Billigal brothers came in with a large stack of braided straw hats.

There are so many such miraculous straw hats!

Facing the surprised gazes of the orcs, Rieg coughed calmly: "Don't fight, don't fight, straw hats are enough, everyone has them."

"Come on, this is yours."

"You take one too."

"this is for you."

Rieg distributed the straw hats to the orcs, and the orcs who received the hats quickly imitated others and put the straw hats on their heads and rushed into the sun.

Not long after, there was a group of orcs having fun under the sun.

"Ahem, I'm not lying, how about this hat?"

"it is good."

"So cool."

Everyone said that this cool hat is really a good thing, and I don't feel dizzy at all in the sun.

"Then everyone wears straw hats, so you won't be afraid of the sun?" Rieger asked them treacherously.

"Don't be afraid, not at all."

The orcs said that with this straw hat, the sun is nothing, and they are not afraid of it at all.

"Since we are no longer afraid of the sun, let's take over the work in the afternoon." Rieg finally revealed his devil tail and announced happily.

"Ah~"

"Don't wow~"

"Rig, you are treacherous."

These idiots finally reacted.

But no matter how they wailed, when Rieg said they were going to set off, they still obediently followed with a water bottle, a basket and straw hats on their backs.

The work in the afternoon is the same as in the morning, that is, to cut off the mature hemp and tie them together, drag them to the river to soak them.

The weather is very good. Since the beginning of summer, there has not been too much rain. At most, there will be some raindrops at night, and it will stop before dawn. When the sun comes out and the temperature rises, the water vapor will be evaporated quickly. It didn't delay the orcs from doing farm work at all.

Every two or three days, Rieger would take two orcs to the river to see the situation of retting. There was no change in the past few days. On the fifth day, there was already a bad smell in the hemp pond, and the water was also gone. Turning green means that the microorganisms in the water body are decomposing hemp stalks and colloids. The dirtier and smellier the water, the faster the growth of microorganisms and the faster the decomposition process.

On the 11th day, Lige Ninja picked up a piece of hemp, and could easily separate a bunch of hemp fibers from the flax husk. If so, it means that the first batch of hemp has been retting successfully.

When Rieg told the orcs the good news, everyone jumped up happily. The hard work of these days was finally not in vain.

In order to transport the hemp back to the tribe for disposal, a few days ago Lige specially asked someone to find time to build two carts, scooped up the soft and stinky hemp, put them on the cart, and assembled them Two big carts were transported back to the tribe.

The fibers in the flax need to be dried in the sun before they can be successfully peeled off. After drying, put your hands into the retting flax rod and pull it gently to pull out the whole flax fiber inside.

This is only the first batch, and there are still nearly a thousand catties of flax to be retting to be processed, so the big guys don’t need Rigg’s orders. In the next few days, everyone will be able to distinguish the degree of flax cutting and retting. The hemp has been successfully retting. Once there is retting, it will be picked up and transported back to the large lawn near the tribe to be spread out to dry, just like the linen assembly line, so Rigg doesn’t have to worry about it at all.

After the thousand catties of flax were completely retting, another whole month had passed, and the flax in the tribe had piled up like a mountain. Fortunately, the completely dried flax eliminated the bad smell, which made Lige feel lucky. Things, otherwise everyone's sense of smell is so sensitive, and the surrounding area smells so bad, it's really hard to live this day.

After the last batch of hemp piles were left to dry on the field, the orcs were exhausted and paralyzed, thinking they could finally have a good rest.

Unexpectedly, Li Ge broke out another explosive news: "The crops in our experimental field are all mature. After resting tonight, we have to hurry up to harvest potatoes, soybeans and wild ginger. Once the crops are mature If it’s too late, it must be put away in time, otherwise a heavy rain may cause it to rot in the ground, or it may simply grow old, affecting the taste, and you don’t want our months of painstaking efforts to go to waste, right?”

Well, what else is there to say, wash up early and go to bed, and get up early the next day to start working.

So the next day, Li Ge took a group of people and went down to the field.

Before harvesting, Lige specifically told the orcs not to pull out the huge plants when harvesting soybeans and wild ginger, and let nature grow old to save the seeds. If the best ones are selected from generation to generation, although it is not as good as Yuan Longping's hybrid The power of rice, but over time, it will also play a certain role in the improvement of varieties.

Although it does not say that the taste of large crops must be good. For example, Lige thinks that some small varieties of potatoes are more glutinous than giant potatoes, and soybeans are not as big as possible. The fruit is not as big as the later generations, and there are shriveled and dry ones inside. In this case, it is not a big mistake to choose a big and plump one to save the seeds.

Use a stone knife to gently plan the roots of the potato plants, revealing strings of round, fist-sized potatoes.

It was the second time to do the job of harvesting potatoes, and the orcs had grown up, and they would no longer make the mistake of being so stupid to chop several times with a single stone knife, and naturally there was no need for Rigg to follow behind and watch.

Ginger harvesting is also simple. You can dig out a large piece of ginger by scraping the mud. As long as it doesn’t damage the ginger body, you can dig it anyway. Some of them just change their claws to dig. Lige doesn’t care about them, black and white A cat is a good cat if it catches mice.

Harvesting soybeans is even simpler, just uproot them, and you can do it as quickly as possible.

Boxes of potatoes were thrown on a cart and transported back to the tribe. The adult orcs planed the larger ones in front, and the cubs followed behind to plan the smaller ones. A potato of this kind is more than ten or twenty long, and it is about the size of ten fists. Yes, there are still some small ones when digging down, the size of a pebble, or the size of a thumb, or even the size of a fingernail. Don't let any fish slip through the net.

The two trolleys have just finished pulling the hemp, and they have to pull the grain again and again. The utilization rate is also high, which is completely worthy of the claws that were almost worn out during the work.

After the grain was transported back to the tribe, it was directly pulled to the large granary in the new building complex for stacking. In order to prevent rats and the like, there were two cats patrolling the granary. It's very secure.

Lige did a rough calculation, and the potatoes harvested probably weighed several thousand catties, and the wild ginger was a little less, because all the ginger was harvested at this time, and Lige still left some in the field to wait for it to grow into old ginger. Soybean seeds were not that many at the beginning, so the harvested soybeans were the least, but there were still five or six hundred catties.

It took three seasons, and a total of four to five thousand catties of grain was harvested. In fact, Lige was not satisfied with this amount in his heart. When I had nothing at the time, it’s not like this, let alone next year, I will save more this year, and try to plant [-] acres of land next year, and when next autumn, there will be a huge harvest, Li Ge thinks about the future, It's a little flattering.

Cloth was also very happy standing in the field. He didn't feel much about the thousand catties of flax, after all, he couldn't eat it. As for wearing it, he hadn't seen the actual results yet.

But the grain in this field was grown under his nose, and it is all edible. They have harvested so much grain in just a few days this autumn, and it's not even winter yet. If these grains are stored until the winter, how comfortable everyone can live this winter!It can be roasted by the fire, and the cat can live in the winter, and it can last until the winter is over without eating.

All of these are the changes brought to the tribe after the birth of Rieger—Riger was born last autumn, and his actual age is less than a year old, but speaking of it, his false age is also 2 years old. Does time really make people grow old?

Pulling the last two carts of soybeans, a group of people rushed to the tribe.

After the truckload of soybeans was also piled into the granary, the orcs were stunned to see the piles of grain and vegetables piled high. They just planted some seeds in spring and had time to water and fertilize before catching insects. In fact, it doesn't take much effort. So in autumn, the harvest is so huge?

At this time, Rieg rode Charlie out of the crowd with his little hands behind his back, and said with a serious face——

"We orcs have been hunting as warriors for hundreds of years, while the rest of the tribe collected in the wild."

"This is the way of life left by our ancestors, which has supported our ancestors for generations."

"I am a junior, and I only have reverence for my ancestors. The ancestors made a way for us."

"But now, we have a better choice. Everyone has seen that as long as we put in a little sweat, work hard, and rely on the hands of our orcs, we can grow enough food to feed everyone in the tribe."

"In addition, we have more than 100 pigs in our pigsty. As long as these pigs grow up and give birth to piglets, we will have more pigs soon. When we raise a certain scale, we don't even need to have more pigs. Going out to hunt, as long as you tend the fields and feed the animals in the tribe every day, everyone can live a life full of food and clothing every day.”

"In the future, I will look for more edible grains, vegetables and fruits to save seeds. We can also expand the scope of breeding. In addition to raising pigs, we can also raise cattle and sheep. Anyway, anyway, anyway, you don't have to be afraid, as long as you work together, If you follow the correct path, you will no longer have to suffer from hunger and cold!"

Rigg, an elite who talked in front of big bosses and leaders in various fields in his previous life, now facing a group of iron-faced orcs with sincere eyes, he can't think of any rhetoric or flattery, and then he can only utter one sentence , no longer have to go hungry and cold, and it is really a bit embarrassing.

However, the orcs didn't think so. Yubu led the applause, and the orcs highly affirmed and praised Rieg's simple and practical remarks.

How wonderful it is to be born again, thought Rieger, basking in the applause and comforting eyes of his fathers.

Farming and raising pigs is so wonderful, the orcs who were immersed in the pie painted by Lige thought so.

Er Bao's expression is so beautiful now, the two fathers looked at each other, thinking so.

Everywhere in Erbao is beautiful, Charlie, the number one fan of Rigg, thought so.

The author has something to say: It would be wonderful if I could collect more comments, the scumbag author thought so.
