The sun shines on the field that has just been manured, and the smell of steaming is really hard to describe.

The orcs avoid going in the direction of the fields in their daily activities, and no one likes to go there.

It is indeed cruel to let the orcs with a keen sense of smell dig out manure to fertilize, but clean and tasteless compound fertilizers cannot be found in this era. Manure is already the best nutrient available for barren and thin soil. The crops are thriving, and the smell can only stink.

Fortunately, nature has a strong digestion ability. After three or four days of exposure to the sun, the smell in the field has been blown away by the wind, and the humidity of the soil has become more suitable. , Lige squatted on the edge of the field, grabbing a handful of mud like an old farmer and loosening it. The soil first formed a ball and then became loose again. This is the dry humidity suitable for planting potatoes and soybeans.

Rigg stood up and slapped the dirt off his palms, announcing that it was time to mound.

This is no stranger to the orcs. After all, they have done it solidly before last winter. When dividing the ridges, Rieg learned from last year's experience and asked them to widen the distance between the ridges and make the furrows wider. It should be more suitable for the size of the orc's feet, and it will not step down and step on most of the ridge.

This time, there is no need to mark the ridges with branches inserted on the side like the first time. Basically, everyone can quickly and well pile up qualified ridges that conform to the terrain curve, saying that they conform to the terrain curve. In fact, there is no curve on the grassland, and there are no curves, just pile up straight.

This job is easy to say, but it actually hurts your back and back when you do it. After all, you have to bend over all the time, and the average altitude of the orcs is high, just like bending forward in a standing position. Stand up straight and rest, or your waist will be broken.

Just resting and working like this, in the evening, the criss-crossing ridges and acres were raised in the field, and Lige asked them to check the field ridges repaired last year by the way, and reinforce the collapsed places. The ones were picked up and thrown away, and by the way, the pits and holes dug out by the little animals were filled in.

It was evening when all this was done.

In order to catch up with the progress of spring plowing, the females also prepared dinner and delivered it to the cubs to the field. The orcs had worked hard all day, and now they didn't care about whether it was dirty or not, so they sat on the ridge of the field and poured honey water.

Dinner is a simple and delicious barbecue plus one serving of mushroom bamboo rat soup. In order to make it easier for the orcs to eat, the females also took care. After the soup is cooked, it is placed in a large bucket to dry until it is warm. There is a long spoon in the bucket , I called to drink it myself, and it didn't burn my mouth.

Barbecue meat is marinated with salt and seasonings, grilled and then inserted into bamboo sticks. Just hold the stick and eat without touching your hands at all.

The females do this mainly so that the dirty paws of the orcs will not be in direct contact with the food during the whole dinner process, so as to maintain a living as much as possible.

In the past, the females would never have such awareness, but after Rieg emphasized day after day and took a few physical hygiene classes, the entire tribe has initially had the concept of hygiene.

This is already very good, getting used to this kind of thing needs to be cultivated gradually, and you can’t become a big fat man if you eat it in one bite. Besides, as long as life gets better and better, the quality of all aspects of the orcs will improve accordingly. After all, you don’t have to worry about your stomach If there is a problem, you can free up a lot of time to do other things, such as washing, tidying up the house, and learning skills. Maslow said in the hierarchy of needs that after the physiological needs are met, the safety needs follow. , followed by social needs, then respect needs, and finally self-realization needs. Human society as a whole, in order to meet these needs step by step, the society is built more and more developed.

If the tribes are divided according to Maslow's hierarchy of needs, their tribes are still in a state where their physiological needs have just been met for the time being, and they don't need to worry about their safety needs. As long as they don't Running into a group of tyrannosaurs head-on, walking sideways in prehistoric times should not be a problem, and as long as the soldiers are no longer bound to daily hunting activities, they can spare more time for training. The original form depends on the body, and the human form can also rely on various weapons , as long as the training is proper, there is no need to worry about safety issues.

After a short rest after eating, everyone consciously seized the time to continue working.

This is what Rieg admires most about the orcs. As long as they can feel the benefits and admit that matter from the bottom of their hearts, no matter how difficult, how tiring and bitter it is, they will stick to it.

Last winter, the orcs felt the benefits of farming and stockpiling grain, so the orcs were willing to do spring plowing without Lige's words.

For example, wipe it off, yelling that it stinks and is disgusting, and when it’s behind someone’s back, it will secretly come to ask Lige how long it will be fertile enough, how often it needs to be fertilized, and so on. All my heart is on the harvest. , is a typical manifestation of oral integrity.

As early as the few days when the soil was being turned to dry, Rieger gathered the cubs in the tribe to segregate the potatoes.

Three to four hundred catties of potato seeds should be cut into pieces according to the number of buds. Basically, there should be two or three buds on a piece of potato meat. The cut potatoes should be rolled in plant ash according to the wound to prevent the wound from rotting and promote healing.

Now is the time for the potato sprouts to be planted. According to the germination rate planted in the previous season, Rieg deliberately kept the orcs a little more distance between each sprout pit to prevent two or three sprouts from competing for sunlight and water after they germinated at the same time. In some cases, potatoes do not need to be specially divided into buds. Widening the spacing will help to maintain growth after germination in multiple buds. According to experience, there are quite a lot of cases where several buds are sprouted. This time, we will prevent them in advance.

Soybeans are easier to handle. Dig a shallow hole on the ridge, throw two or three soybeans into it, and then loosely cover it with soil.

Wild ginger is a plant that is relatively easy to germinate. Although the temperature is low in winter, a lot of buds still sprout out. Cut off the buds and ginger meat and press them into the soil.

But it sounds simple on the surface, but in fact, digging, planting, covering the soil, and finally pouring some water into it, the labor involved is far more than just talking about it.

The orcs didn't plant all these food seeds until the moon was in the middle of the sky, and they were all tired.

Randomly scooped up some water to wash off the mud on their hands and feet. The farmers were so tired that they collapsed on their bunks and couldn't get up. Within a few minutes after falling down, they started snoring one after another. This was really exhausting.

I was exhausted the day before yesterday, and I didn't sleep until the sun was up the next day. Basically, the patriarch called everyone up early in the morning, and the work was not done yet.

I hurriedly washed my face and ate a suggested breakfast, and there was a large pot of chili seeds waiting to be planted.

Lige soaked the pepper seeds in warm water yesterday, because the soaked seeds have a high germination rate, and because peppers like loose sandy soil and do not like water accumulation in the roots, Lige specially found a separate area Give peppers seeds.

After planting peppers, the rest are all kinds of herb seeds collected by Lige last year, which are used to treat gastrointestinal disorders, diarrhea, sores, stop bleeding and promote wound healing, and some are used to treat colds and concoctions. The insecticides each took up a small piece of land, and after planting, there was another round of watering, and the orcs' feet kept rolling like wheels.

For the fifty acres of land, it took the orcs a week to get all the seeds.

When the sun went down again, everyone finally stopped their movements one after another. They straightened up, rubbed their shoulders, tapped their backs, and finally stretched their muscles and bones. But it was exhausting.

But looking at the newly sprouted seedlings that are tender and green, and the leaves covered with water droplets trembling slightly in the wind, this kind of sight made the big and thick orcs feel a feeling of "beauty" from the bottom of their hearts.

Later in Rigg's class they learned that the name of this "beauty" is hope.

The spring plowing came to an end temporarily, and the orcs carried their farm tools and staggered towards the tribe. Although they were exhausted physically, the sense of accomplishment in their hearts was not covered up. With the support of that energy, the sore muscles seemed to be It also became bearable.

When they returned to the tribe, Lige had ordered several large pots of hot water to be boiled to fill up the large bathtub in the bathroom. The orcs stood under the shower head and soaped up the mud and dirt on their bodies, even their nails. After cleaning the crevices thoroughly, I climbed into the steaming hot tub to soak.

During this period, young children kept coming in with food such as fruit juice, honey water and dried meat.

The food trays should all be made of wood. On the trays are neatly stacked jerky, each piece is cut to the size of a bite, and it comes with a small shallow dish.

The cubs gently put the tray into the water, and the tray floated firmly on the water, causing the orcs to exclaim and ask what it is.

The little leopard cub Aman raised his nose to the sky proudly: "The boss said, this is called a buoyancy table, a small table that can float on the water."

"Wow, it can make the table float on the water. The second treasure really has magical powers. It is worthy of being the emissary of the orcs."

"Is there jerky on the plate? Can I eat it?"

Chacha curiously took out the small shallow saucer from the tray in front of her, played with it and asked, "Then what is this?"

Aman scratched his head: "This is a cup for drinking fruit juice. The boss said that the small table made of wood is not buoyant enough. If the cup is too heavy to hold a drink, it will easily overturn. So I asked the kiln to burn a batch of this kind of cup. Small cup."

"Uh, what is buoyancy?" Did the orcs understand?

This Aman didn’t understand either, but how could he expose it, and said impatiently: “If you want to eat meat, you can eat it, if you want to drink, you can take a cup yourself, and I’ll pour it for you, why ask so much.”

Everyone thought about it, anyway, if you don't ask, you know it must be something you don't understand. It's better to drink fruit juice and eat meat, and they all eat from the tray in front of them.

With a towel on his head, soaked in hot water, chewing jerky in his mouth, he can order a drink anytime when he is thirsty, exhausted all over, these days are comfortable.

The orcs are particularly easy to satisfy. They were obviously strained by Rieger's work to the point of almost straining their lumbar muscles. A hot bath and some matching snacks made them dizzy with joy. I don't know what year it is. , What a bunch of simple and foolish guys.

The orcs ate and drank, their skins were wrinkled, and the water was no longer hot, so they were willing to crawl out of the pool. When they came out, they did not forget to take out the trays floating in the water. Clean up the aftermath, release the water, brush the pool, and finally flush the ground. It can be said that the enlightenment is full.

Back in the activity room, the females were tidying up the freshly cut mushrooms and making soup. The real big pieces of meat were already roasting on the fire. Even the stone slabs that hadn’t been used for a long time were cleaned out, oiled and sizzling. The steak and tenderloin are fried, and the room is filled with the aroma of food.

Chacha just felt that those jerky drinks just now were eaten for nothing. As soon as he smelled the aroma of the big meal, his stomach wriggled involuntarily and his saliva began to secrete. The jerky was like an appetizer. Well, after eating a little bit, it opened up my appetite, and I was suddenly hungry.

Rieg smiled and glanced at it, handed over the steak that was almost crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, wiped it, took it, chewed it quickly, and swallowed it, as if he had never eaten in his previous life.

Rigg squinted at him: "Are you that hungry?"

Swallowing the last mouthful forcefully, he rolled his eyes so choked, "Uh--Er Bao, you don't know, your invention of soaking and eating in the hot water room has already aroused my gluttons, I was just about to faint from hunger."

After a pause, he continued: "Your buoyancy table has food and drink, everything is good, but the meat is too small, one piece at a time, not enough to fit between teeth, can you make a bigger piece next time? .”

Lige jittery: "That's a refreshment snack in the bath, and it's not designed to fill you up. If you're hungry, won't you come out to eat earlier?"

Chacha but plausible: "That's different. It feels so good to eat with hot water. The whole person feels dizzy like floating in the clouds. Anyway, I like it. I will apply for a bigger barbecue next time." , one meal is enough."

Rieger: My friend, you haven't even had a drink yet, you're already drunk, and you're still floating in the clouds. If I fix the wine in the future, you won't be allowed to fly out of the atmosphere.
