Chapter 939: Rice Planting (2-in-1)
Today is a great day for the people of the Blue Sparrow tribe.
Because today, after half a year of hard work, rice, a new food for the people of the Qingque tribe, will finally start to be planted in the fields.
Han Cheng attaches great importance to rice, because in his impression, rice is an extremely important staple food, and only wheat can be compared to it.
As for millet, sorghum, corn, soybeans and other things, in his opinion, they are all not staple foods, in the case of rice and wheat, two staple foods, it is okay to eat some occasionally, and some people can't eat too much.
Of course, without the complete cultivation of rice and the absence of wheat, the staple food of the tribe can only be millet.
At this time, the rising sun had risen more than a pole, and all the people of the Qingque tribe where Jinguancheng was located, except for some who had something to do, the rest of them were all staying on the edge of a paddy field carved out by them, looking at their gods intently, with excitement and anticipation on their faces.
At this time, Han Cheng also became extremely solemn.
He rolled up his trousers to his knees, and the sleeves of his two arms were also hugged.
After making such preparations, he picked up the rafter beside him and went down to the ground barefoot.
Inside the rafters are neatly arranged seedlings.
This is the first time that the Qingque tribe has planted rice artificially, except for Han Cheng, who has seen some rice planting scenes, the rest of the people are extremely unfamiliar with it.
Therefore, Han Cheng, who was not even an apprentice in the later generations, actually became a dealer in such a magical way.
At this time, the weather is still a little cold, the sun shines on the body warmly, but you can't go into the water, barefoot to the paddy field, you can suddenly feel a cool from the feet, legs, spread throughout the body at a very fast speed.
However, this kind of coldness is not the kind of biting cold, although it is not very pleasant, but it is still within the range of people who can bear it.
Han Cheng didn't complain about anything, because he knew that this was something he had to go through if he wanted to harvest in the fall.
As a human being in two lives, he has long lost the illusions of his childhood, and knows that if he wants to get something in this world, he must give something.
There were a few small swimming fish, after he entered the paddy field, flicking their tails and running away quickly against the bottom of the water, leaving some small muddy water.
Standing here to feel the temperature of the water, after a little adaptation, and carefully recalling his not-so-clear memories of rice planting, Han Chengcheng began to work under the gaze of everyone in the Qingque tribe.
He picked up a few seedlings from the rafters beside him with his hands, planted them with their roots down, and planted them in the paddy fields that had been soaked with water.
In order not to scatter the seedlings and to make it easier to insert them into the field, when Han Cheng took them by hand, he took them directly from the roots, not from the leaves on the top.
After planting the first handful of seedlings, Han Cheng picked up a handful of seedlings from the rafters and inserted them into the paddy field.
A handful of seedlings varies from three to five.
However, this time compared to the previous time, Han Cheng seemed more hesitant.
This is mainly because he is not sure about the distance between the two pinches of seedlings in his peers.
After hesitating for a while, Han Cheng still planted the handful of seedlings, and the distance between the two was about fifteen centimeters.
After inserting this line forward four times, and then inserting it forward was not long enough for his arms to be a little difficult, Han Cheng stopped and continued to plant rice forward, but started another line from his feet and inserted it forward.
After a short period of thought, Han Cheng set the distance between the new line and the previous line at thirty centimeters.
Of course, this is only a rough estimate, in the process of transplanting seedlings, no one will take a ruler to measure, the distance is wider, narrower is not too big.
Han Cheng's arm length was within the range of a normal human being, and he was not a genius like Uncle Liu Huang who put his hands on his knees and fell a child and looked like he was on the ground, so he could only insert four lines in this trip.
As he continued to move and move backwards, four rows of emerald green seedlings swaying in the warm spring breeze were left in the paddy field in front of him.
The people of the Qingque tribe who were standing on the side to watch and study, after seeing this, some realizations rose in their hearts one by one.
It turns out that this is rice planting, and it doesn't seem difficult at all.
Crop work is like this, there is no particularly accurate standard, generally only need to watch others do it a few times, and practice it yourself a few times, and you can master it almost enough.
"See? That's rice planting, and it's easy. Now they are all scattered, and ten people are in charge of a field and planting rice.
When planting seedlings, pay more attention to the spacing, in the same row, the spacing between each pinch is 15 cm, and the spacing between two adjacent rows is 30 cm.
Of course, it doesn't mean that you have to plant it well, but that you should plant it according to this standard as much as possible when planting rice......
After Han Cheng walked a distance of more than ten meters, he straightened up and smiled and said to the crowd standing on the edge of the field to watch.
Everyone nodded their heads to indicate that they were taught, and then according to what Han Cheng said, they took the seedlings that had been pulled out before and dispersed, and entered a group of ten people into a sorted rice field, and started the first rice planting here following Han Cheng's example.
At the beginning, everyone was still very unfamiliar with this matter, but after doing it for a while, there was no sense of rustiness.
Don't be too cheerful when you take the seedlings one by one.
With the continuous work of everyone, the empty fields began to have greenery.
In the evening, the people who had been planting rice with sore backs came out of the paddy fields, stood on the ridges of the rice fields, and looked at the rice seedlings that were slightly floating in the evening breeze in the originally bare paddy fields, and felt that all the fatigue disappeared at once.
This kind of scenery is not very beautiful, it is not as beautiful as the mountain flowers, there is no gorgeous sunset, and there is no female primitive people in leather skirts in the tribe who accidentally showed that touch of scenery when they climbed up the trees, but I don't know why, everyone stood here, looking at such a scene, but they couldn't see enough.
The kind of satisfaction and anticipation that you can't get when you look at the rest of the scenery.
After standing here for a while and looking at the fruits of the day's labor, the sky became darker and darker.
Everyone washed the mud from their legs and feet on the edge of the canal, and walked towards the inner courtyard of Jinguan City with their tools.
The moon, which had already come out in the afternoon, became brighter and brighter, shining on the body of the people and leaving a shadow on the earth.
Everyone walked along the ridge in the moonlight, quite a bit of a meaning of returning with the moon and hoeing.
The moonlight is like water, the night is vast, behind is the rice field that has not yet finished planting seedlings, in front of which there is an inner courtyard revealed by the orange firelight, the fragrance of food wafts with the breeze in the night, there are dogs whining, and occasionally there are one or two deer chirping and donkey barking in the middle......
Han Cheng, who was standing in the middle of the paddy field, straightened up and stood in place for a temporary rest.
Standing here for a short rest, he involuntarily looked his head in a direction, which was the direction in which the older female primitives came and left.
It's been a while since the older primitives left, and judging by the past, it's almost time for them to come again.
For the older female primitives, Han Cheng always had a lot of expectations when they came.
This is not only because the older female primitives will bring a lot of food, but also because they may bring news of the unknown tribe.
So far, though, they haven't brought much news about the tribe.
For that unknown tribe, Han Cheng still had great expectations.
Not only because that tribe had three major pieces of bronze, pottery, and salt, but more importantly, from the mouths of older female primitives, Han Cheng knew that the unknown tribe also had some very large prey.
On the way to exchange their belongings, they would tie some of the goods and the food they exchanged for to the bodies of the big prey, and let them carry them.
After learning the news, Han Cheng was extremely excited.
He asked Mo to take the older female primitives to see the donkeys and the deer, and then asked Trade to question them.
They indicated that the prey being led by the people of the unknown tribe was not of these two types, and that it was much larger than these two.
In addition to these, more information was not obtained from the older female primitives.
However, this was enough for Han Cheng to attract his attention and look forward to the unknown tribe and this kind of big prey.
In his impression, there are not too many large animals that can be domesticated by humans and put into production and life on a large scale.
It's nothing more than elephants, cows, horses, donkeys, camels, and so on.
From the older female hominids, he learned that the big animals were not donkeys, nor were they elephants with long trunks, and that they did not have one or two high protrusions on their backs.
After all these are ruled out, there are not many options left, which is undoubtedly excellent news for Han Cheng, who has always wanted to get large livestock.
If things don't go too far, it is very likely that the large livestock owned by the unknown tribe will fall on both cattle and horses.
Of course, it is not excluded that in such a prehistoric era, there will be some species that later generations have not seen.
However, even if they were species that had not been seen in later generations, since they were so big and could be domesticated by humans, Han Cheng also dared to let them pull plows and cultivate land for the tribe.
Thinking about these things, he stood there and looked for a while in the direction where the older primitives had come, and there was no intention of anyone coming.
Han Cheng had no choice but to suppress the impatience and some disappointment in his heart, and continued to bend down to pick up some seedlings and plant them in the paddy field.
It's okay to have expectations for some things, but you also have to do the things in front of you as well as possible.
Otherwise, if you can't wait for that kind of expectation, and the rest of the things become a mess, then it's really bad......
“#¥4@3……”
The older primitive woman spoke aloud and put down the burden she was carrying.
The people of their tribe were all very happy to see them come back with so much food again.
However, after seeing the hunchbacked primitives who returned with the older female primitives, some people became a little vigilant again, especially the leader of the tribe where the female primitives belonged.
After all, in the past, it was all hunchbacked primitive people who were doing these things, and now their own tribe is doing these things, which is tantamount to robbing a lot of food that should have belonged to the hunchbacked primitive people and their tribe.
In this era, food is equivalent to the money that everyone in the future will fight for.
Fortunately, the hunchbacked primitives did not show any malice, but on the contrary, they still smiled at them as before, which made the leader of the tribe where the older female primitives belonged a lot of relief.
After some conversation, the older primitives told the leader of their tribe about the matter.
After understanding that these people did not come to trouble their own tribe, but wanted to find the mysterious Qingque tribe, the leader of their tribe was completely relieved.
“#@¥4@……”
After the older female primitives put down their food and other things, the hunchbacked primitives who couldn't wait to go to the mysterious tribe couldn't help but speak out loud and make some movements, meaning that they wanted the older female primitives to take them there earlier.
After understanding the meaning of the hunchbacked primitive, the older female primitives shook her head vigorously.
The hunchbacked primitive man who watched such a scene was amazed.
Didn't you already talk about this on the way back? How did you change your mind after returning to the tribe?
Why don't you take yourself and the others with you?
How can a woman be so fickle?
The hunchbacked primitive man was intelligent, and from this surprising act of the older female primitive man, he quickly understood what the other party meant.
He looked at the food carried by his tribe, and after a little hesitation, he brought two packages and put them in front of the older female primitives, indicating that as long as the older female primitives took them to the mysterious tribe, the food would be given to the older female primitives.
However, he soon realized that he had been wrong, for after he had conveyed this meaning, the older primitive woman, who had become a fickle woman in his eyes, did not ask for the food he had sent, but shook her head again.
Although he saw that the woman did have some desire for the food.
Such a thing made the hunchbacked primitive man scratch his head, and he didn't know what this woman wanted to do.
“@#4SD……”
In his confusion, the older female primitive spoke.
