Chapter 52: Garlic and Wheat
Spring is the season when flowers are in full bloom, and it is also the season when all kinds of wild grasses grow wildly.
Chen Fan and several women were looking for some edible wild vegetables in the forest.
These days, although they don't worry much about eating and drinking, they often eat some meat, which is still unbearable.
Early in the morning, Chen Fan was shouted by Qin Keren.
Chen Fan told her yesterday that there are a lot of wild vegetables in this forest that can be eaten directly.
This is unimaginable for Qin Keren, who has been eating meat for two months.
"You look at it, this grass is called shepherd's cabbage, this grass is called gray cabbage, you should pay special attention when you pick it, it must be the freshest place to pick, and if the others are picked, they can't be eaten!" After Chen Fan explained to a few of them, he slipped away with Qin Keren.
"What are you doing, I still have to work!" Qin Keren is a person who can't be idle, when he was fighting with the beast clan, he was the logistics manager, and now, he has become the accountant of this group of homeless people.
Chen Fan showed a strange smile, and then said, "Just follow me, I promise to let you return with a full load!"
Qin Keren was a little inexplicable, but it was not good to go against Chen Fan's opinion, so he had to follow him to a mountain not far away.
"Look at what this is?" Chen Fan pulled out a cyan thing from the ground.
"How do I know, don't tell me that this thing can be eaten!" Qin Keren admired Chen Fan's ability very much, maybe this was a good thing that could be used.
She is very difficult as an accountant now, often eats this meal, but does not eat, and sometimes, there are people who feel that there is no fragrance in the food they eat?
These people don't want to think about it, they just need to fill their stomachs, and what kind of flavor do they want to eat? It's too much.
"This is called small garlic, do you smell the smell of garlic!" Chen Fan handed the small garlic in his hand to Qin Keren.
"Really, how did you find out?" Qin Keren looked at Chen Fan incredulously, with this little garlic, if anyone was talking about the fact that there was no fragrance in the rice, they could directly paste it on his face.
"Brother Fan, I want little garlic too!" Xia Li, a follower, didn't know when she would follow.
"If you want to dig it yourself, it's all over the ground here!" Chen Fan's eyes glanced at Xia Li and saw that he was holding a handful of wheat seedlings in his hand.
"Xia Li, where did you find leeks?" Chen Fan could see at a glance that this thing was a leek, this thing was a good thing, and it tasted very fragrant.
"Is this a leek? I can't tell, I just see that Xiaobai likes to eat this thing, so I pulled out a little!" Xia Li was a little embarrassed, this Xiaobai was a white lamb she got from the women's tribe!
Xia Li said that this little white likes to eat, then it is not leeks, and sheep do not eat leeks!
"Bring it and I'll take a look!"
Xia Li was a little inexplicable, Chen Fan was also interested in what this sheep ate, she had already tried it, this thing was unpalatable, and the two sheep liked to eat it.
"Good thing, this is simply a baby, girl, where did you pull it from, I'll take it quickly!" Chen Fan had already recognized that this thing similar to leeks turned out to be wheat, artificially cultivated wheat.
Under the leadership of Xia Li, Chen Fan came to an open place, where there was about an acre of land, all of which were this kind of green wheat, the weather had just warmed, and this wheat was trying to exude the breath of life.
Xiao Bai and Xiao Hei are here leisurely nibbling on these grasses.
"Take the two of them away for me, hurry up!" Chen Fan roared, and Xia Li hurriedly took the two sheep away.
"With such a big piece of wheat, we will have noodles to eat in the near future, do you know?" Chen Fan grabbed Xia Li's shoulder and shook it vigorously.
Chen Fan didn't care if the wheat was artificially grown, anyway, it wasn't for those savages who could get it, this was his private property.
"No, I have to enclose this place!" Chen Fan said just do it, take the murderous knife, and go to the woods.
In a few moments, he brought a large bundle of firewood.
Chen Fan carefully chopped the firewood into sticks of the same size, and then inserted them one by one along the edge of the wheat.
This quickly became a fence.
"Brother Fan, what are you doing here?" Li Wenhao was a little curious when he saw Chen Fan so cautious.
"Don't talk to you rich second generation, do you know what this thing is?"
"I don't know, I just know that if you can eat it, you will definitely not lose me!"
Li Wenhao's face is quite thick now, and he doesn't feel that what he has done is a little too much.
", this thing is mine, if you want it, you have to work for me quickly, and when the time comes, that thing will come and exchange it with me!" Chen Fan will not tell Li Wenhao that this is wheat, this thing is fine grain, with wheat, you can make bread, steamed buns, and even make wine, I am very happy to think about it.
This group of survivors has long been accustomed to this simple life, they are similar to primitive people, every day is hunting, picking fruits, and there is no pursuit of life at all.
At noon, everyone gathered together again.
Although these dozen or so people live separately now, and they are self-sufficient in eating, there are still times when some people have eaten the last meal but not the next, and this is inevitable to go to other homes for a meal.
Qin Keren took the small garlic he dug out and prepared to give some to the others.
Today, Chen Fan was tidying up his wheat field, and he didn't go hunting at all, although there was still some food at home, but Qin Keren was going to take the small garlic to exchange it for food. Especially on the burdock side, burdock picks a lot of mushrooms.
Originally, when everyone came out together, they all worked together and ate together, but later Chen Fan found that in this case, there would be things where someone could not work.
Especially on the women's side, the five women often hear Xia Li's complaints, saying that Zhou Tingting was cheating and playing tricks when she was working.
Chen Fan couldn't say anything, after all, everyone was from the same place.
Chen Fan separated these people.
The effect of this separation immediately appeared, and everyone's enthusiasm for work was very high.
"Sister Keren, I didn't pick much today, can I go to your house for some food?" Zhou Tingting looked at Qin Keren pitifully.
Qin Keren is the accountant of these people, she knows Zhou Tingting's situation very well, this woman is lazy and lazy, she has been separated for so long, she often goes to other people's houses to eat, although everyone doesn't say anything, but no one likes her.
