And what surprised Xiao Feng even more was that these black elves were not only good at planting, but also had a unique ability to brew fruit wine, and the fruit wine they brewed was very popular in the Cartwheel Empire, and it was precisely for this reason that the Cartel Empire would always allow them to exist semi-independently.

The longer Xiao Feng chatted with this Jacks, the more he learned about them, according to Jacks, their black elves would produce and brew some different kinds of fruit wine according to a variety of different fruits, and they had now domesticated some wild fruit trees, and would also cultivate their own fruit trees.

In addition, they will also domesticate animals, including cattle, sheep, pigs, dogs and other animals, as well as chickens, ducks and geese, and have decades of domestication experience.

Because the agricultural civilization is relatively developed, they have basically entered the agricultural society, but they are relatively weak in terms of force, so they will always be oppressed by the human empire.

When Xiao Feng heard this, he couldn't help but feel a burst of ecstasy in his heart, this black elf race seems to be very promising, if they are allowed to develop like this, as long as one or two capable leaders can appear, their tribe will undergo earth-shaking changes, and they may become the most influential pole on this continent at that time.

It's a pity that the invasion of the orcs interrupted the evolution of their civilization, which is very similar to the invasion of the northern nomads in the history of China, which interrupted the evolution of agricultural civilization several times.

Fortunately, their civilization upgrading process was interrupted, otherwise it would be very difficult for Xiao Feng to recruit such a tribe that is good at agricultural civilization.

Just listening to what Ma Jie said, Xiao Feng still felt that he couldn't believe it, and immediately took him to the rice field, at this time, the rice field was already yellow, orange and orange, and the rice ears had all turned yellow, and they all looked ripe.

Xiao Feng thought that the rice here was ripe, and he picked some rice back, planning to eat it, but later because of the invasion of the orcs, he forgot about this stubble, and now he took Ma Jie Si to see the growth of these rice, which can be regarded as a test of his ability.

When this Jacks saw this rice field, his face was extremely surprised, obviously he didn't expect this tribe to actually grow some crops by themselves, although he didn't know what kind of crops this was growing, but his rich farming experience, plus the black elves have a natural affinity for plants, or let him quickly become familiar with this rice field.

He first called the Toulon farmer who was in charge of planting, asked in detail about the name of the crop, and the cultivation and growth process, and then came to the rice field to carefully observe the situation for a while, from the soil to the plant, and then like Xiao Feng, he dragged off the rice ears, rubbed off the outer husk, and then put the husked rice grains into his mouth and chewed them.

He put the rice grains in his mouth and chewed them slowly, then closed his eyes and tasted them carefully, and after a long while, he opened his eyes, and his eyes were full of joy.

"Master, this 'rice' is a very good crop, although I haven't seen it before, but I tasted their fruit, the grain is full, the taste is solid, but the dry food is a little hard, or processing may taste better, if the satiety is good, can provide enough energy, then this crop is a very suitable crop for large-scale promotion. ”

Sure enough, he is an expert in agriculture, even if he has a civilization gap of more than ten centuries with Xiao Feng, he also knows the concepts of satiety and energy, which shows that people really have real skills.

As far as these things in his mind are concerned, they are already decades, or even hundreds of years, ahead of other humans of the same era, if their tribe continues to develop steadily like this, Xiao Feng believes that in a few decades, they will become one of the overlords on this continent.

The development process of a tribe is from the beginning of not having enough to eat, to being well fed, warmly dressed, and meeting the most basic survival needs, people will ponder other things, such as culture, such as craftsmanship, and after deriving these things, social civilization will naturally evolve, once it forms its own system, then it will naturally stand out from the primitive tribes and become the leader of contemporary civilization.

"In your experience, are these rice ripe, and can we plant another round this year?"

Xiao Feng proposed to take the school examination, and this Ma Jie Si was not panicked at all in the field of his expertise.

"It's ripe, it's ready to be harvested, and when I tasted the crop just now, I already tasted that the food was sweet enough. According to my previous experience of growing other crops, with such a sweet fruit, the crop is basically ripe and ready to be harvested. ”

Xiao Feng was stunned when he heard it, no wonder this guy is so talented in agriculture, this tongue is too sensitive, he can even taste the starch in the rice grains, just by the sweetness of the crop he has never seen before, whether it is ripe or not, this talent is really not ordinary.

"And with my previous planting experience, it is completely too late to plant another round, now there are three months before autumn, and about six months before the first snow of winter, this time is the time of the year when the sun temperature is highest, as long as the temperature and rainfall are suitable, then before the snow in winter, this crop can still be guaranteed to be planted and harvested once." ”

Marcus is very confident in his judgment, he has been planting for more than ten years, and his ancestors have been planting for hundreds of years, and he is quite experienced in planting this piece, from the soil fertility of the land, to the weather temperature, humidity, and the impact on crops, he has his own set of judgment standards. Although he had never grown rice before, he was very confident in his judgment.

Xiao Feng nodded, and then directly beckoned the farmer who was in charge of planting rice to come over, asking him to organize people to harvest rice quickly, and at the same time, let the black elves organize people to participate in it, familiarize themselves with the planting and harvesting process of rice as soon as possible, and if there are any good proposals, they can also put it forward.

At the same time, he also asked Marcus to work with the Toulon farmer who was in charge of planting the rice this time, and he was responsible for the next round of rice planting, so as to harvest another round before the winter.

After explaining these tasks, Xiao Feng took this Marcus to his 'pasture', saying that it was a 'pasture', but it was actually an empty meadow far away from the rice fields. The bison, wild horses, wild sheep and other wild animals that Bloom had caught before were mixed in this area.
