In the past, Han Cheng may not have a clear understanding of the growth habits of cabbage and radish, but after several years of cultivation by the tribe, some people who often deal with these vegetables, including him, have a deep understanding of this.

It is precisely because of this that after discovering the situation here this morning, Wu and Bugs Bunny will seem so flustered.

Compared with the beginning, cabbage, which has been clearly different from ordinary rape, is already an important vegetable for the tribe to spend the winter.

Whether you eat hot pot and boil it inside, or cut it in half from the middle, cut it into two or three centimeters wide with a knife, and stew it with pork or other meat, it is very delicious.

Now, when they were not yet grown, they suddenly encountered such a frost, and the people in the tribe were worried about it.

"After the frost has subsided for a while, I will wrap the heads of the cabbage and look at them for a long time.

If the weather warms up again in a few days, these cabbages can grow a little more.

Even if it's not as good as before, it's a lot more solid.

If the weather does not improve, then pull out a large number and store it in the cabbage cellar. ”

In the face of such weather, in this situation, Han Cheng has no good way to think of it.

If it is in the future, you can use the plastic greenhouse as an artifact for growing out-of-season vegetables.

If you are more extravagant, you can also build a pure glass greenhouse.

Even if you can't find some colorful plastic bags, a Chinese cabbage with a head on it, and give them a hat to keep warm.

But now, Han Cheng can only make such an arrangement, whether it can be successful or not, and how much the production will be reduced depends on God's face.

The most troublesome thing is not the cabbage, but the radishes that have been frozen by the sudden frost, and the stems and leaves are as if they are cooked and blanched.

Even if you ignore it, if you don't take into account the factor of eating cabbage, let the cabbage grow in the ground on its own, it can still withstand the cold.

It's just that these leaves on the outside will be ruined.

But when spring comes, they are just as able to pull out their mule, like rape, and bloom into small yellow flowers, and then bear seeds, so as not to break the inheritance.

But the turnips are not made, and if the weather is cold enough, the whole turnip will freeze and spoil, so that there will be no chance to save the seeds.

Radish cabbage is the two magic vegetables for the winter, after several years of screening and cultivation, compared with before, there has been a lot of improvement, if they are frozen to death, can not leave the seeds, it is really a big loss.

What happened today also reminded Han Cheng that if he planted things in the future, he must leave some more seeds, and he will not plant them all at once.

In this way, even if any season does not fail, there will not even be seeds.

"After a while, I will shovel more soil and cover up the exposed parts of the turnips with soil.

Then clean out the radish cellar, pull out a batch of radishes, put them in the radish cellar, pile them together, and cover the outer layer with sand. ”

Han Cheng looked at the radish that had been beaten by the frost, and thought for a while before he spoke.

The turnip cellar is underground, and depending on the ground temperature, it is much warmer inside than outside.

Before these radishes are completely damaged by frost, pull out a batch and put them in the radish cellar to prevent the radishes from being frozen.

When the next year's spring comes, the radishes are transferred from the cellar and planted again, and new shoots will grow from the radishes, blossom and bear fruit.

At this time, the radish was obviously not pulled out of the ground and cellared, but in order to be able to leave some radish seeds, so as not to let the radish be broken in the tribe all at once, it was only necessary to take such an insurance first.

After two days when the weather gets better again, these turnips are wasted, but if the weather does not improve, this operation is crucial.

"It's okay, even if the yield of these vegetables is reduced, don't be afraid, there is a lot of food in our tribe, and you can survive the winter without eating radishes and cabbage, don't forget, our tribe has lotus roots, and you can eat them in winter."

Han Cheng saw that everyone's mood was not very high, and they were all uncomfortable with the upcoming production cut, so he smiled and opened his mouth to comfort everyone.

The food composition of the tribe is very rich now, and the New Year is also without radish and cabbage.

There is food in his hands, and he is so tough when he talks and does things.

When Han Cheng said this, the haze in their hearts disappeared a lot.

After eating in the morning, the people of the tribe got busy.

Some people go to the ridges and other places around the tribe to pluck the hairy grass, and then use the thatch to twist it slightly to make a rough straw rope, which is used to tie the cabbage and help the cabbage wrap its head.

Of course, there are hemp rope tribes, but things that can be solved by ordinary wool grass, but they have to use hemp rope, and of course the people in the tribe will not do such a costly thing.

There are also people who pull out a piece of radish, cut off the upper and lower ends of the radish with a copper knife, put it in the rafter, and then transport it to the radish cellar for storage.

The reason why the copper knife is used to cut off the leaves on the top of the radish and the roots on the bottom is because if you don't cut them all, the radish will continue to grow after being put in a radish cellar with a relatively high temperature.

Growing in a dark environment like a radish cellar has no future, except for the waste of energy stored in the radish itself, there is no other result, so they need to be given two knives in advance.

The other people dug up the soil not far away, carried it with a burden, and carefully cultivated it to the root of the radish to cover the exposed part of the radish.

When everyone was working in the vegetable garden, when they got up in the morning, the sky began to be gloomy, but it slowly cleared up, and the sun shone on the earth with an orange color.

However, despite this, the temperature does not mean to rise, and it is sunny and cold.

But no matter what, this sunny day has given people the greatest comfort and made the haze in people's hearts dissipate a large area.

Even happier than the Blue Sparrow tribe are the rest of the tribes with a more primitive way of life.

The bear tribe, which is not far from the large bamboo forest, and the stream tribe with a large amount of limestone not far from the tribe, the people in these tribes, looking at the sunshine that spilled down, are happy and jumping one by one.

Some wept out, while others bowed down to the sun in the sky and bowed their heads reverently.

In their own way, they are grateful for the sun coming out, and they are glad that the wind and snow did not fall at this time.

After thanking them, the people of each tribe began to go all out to collect and store food.

Acorns, chestnuts, pecans, and other nutty fruits are their favorites.

However, when encountering some late peaches, late pears, persimmons, red hawthorns and some unknown fruits, etc., they will not let go.

These fruits, compared to chestnuts, can be stored for a short time, but they are also food, and they can choose to eat these things first.

In the past, in autumn, people from various tribes were very active in collecting food, but now in such weather conditions, they are even more active, and they want to go out and collect food all day long......

In the next few days, the temperature was very low, and every morning when I woke up, there was a thick layer of frost on the haystack outside.

On the still water, a thin layer of ice has also formed.

The autumn of the eleventh year of the blue finch is particularly short, and the late autumn has not yet passed, and it has been replaced by a strong winter.

After waiting for a few more days, seeing that the temperature showed no signs of rising, Han Cheng asked people to harvest more than half of the cabbage and radishes in the vegetable garden.

If you wait any longer, many of them will freeze to death.

In such weather, the people of the Qingque tribe are not idle, some people are competing with cabbage and radish, and some people are also seizing this opportunity to quickly collect fruits.

Just like in the later generations, no one thought that they had more money, and the people in the Qingque tribe never disliked the food in their tribe.

Although the food stored in the tribe is enough for them to eat until next year's autumn harvest, or even until the autumn harvest, the people in the tribe still seize the time to collect the fruits.

There are also some people who are still turning the ground.

At this time, turn more, and when the spring of the next year begins, you can turn it less, and the remaining time can be used to reclaim new wasteland.

Within the tribe, the ingenious primitive women were not idle, sitting there with scissors, awls, needlework, fur and other things, and quickly sewing clothes.

This year, the weather has become cold and become so fast that many winter clothes have not been made, so the people in the tribe are hurrying to make them.

The weather is getting colder, and is a period like the Xiaoice Age about to begin?

Standing on the wall, wrapped in a tiger skin, feeling the cold air, Han Cheng thought in his heart.

It's just that the era he came from was too far ahead, it was completely prehistoric, there was no written record, and for such things, he could only guess in his heart, and he couldn't determine it.

For the things that have slowly become cold in recent years, Han Cheng has long known about it, and his speculation about Xiaoice River has long been there.

Therefore, I felt the cold air at this time, and I didn't panic too much.

As long as the weather does not affect the growth and cultivation of crops such as millet and soybeans in the tribe, he does not have to worry too much.

If you really can't live here, then take the tribe and move south.

I don't believe that the weather can affect the farther south as it gets colder.

When I first came, the population of the tribe was only a few dozen, and there were only ten middle-aged males plus lameness, and the rest were nothing.

Now, after absorbing more than 140 people from the two tribes of the Wind Tribe and the Neighboring Wind Tribe, plus the eighty-nine babies who have been born and survived from last year to now, excluding the four people who died, the total population of the Qingque Tribe today has reached 1,169 people!

Among them, the number of citizens has changed from 513 to 807, and the reason why it has increased so fast is that on the one hand, the number of slaves promoted to citizenship in the past two years has been more than in previous years, and on the other hand, more than 140 people from the Wind Tribe and the Neighboring Wind Tribe have joined, plus eighty-nine newborn babies.

The number of male adult citizens has increased from 71 to 123, and the number of female adult citizens has increased from 133 to 225.

The total number of the two is 348, and there are 459 minor citizens, of whom 19 are about to enter adulthood.

The number of slaves in the tribe has been greatly reduced from 426 to 362 now.

Among them, there were one hundred and eighty adult slaves and one hundred and eighty minor slaves.

The reason why the number of minors in the tribe has not increased, but has decreased, is that on the one hand, some of them have become adults, and on the other hand, after coming to the Qingque tribe, all the babies born are automatically transformed into citizens of the Qingque tribe, after all, these children are innocent.

Crops include millet, soybeans, peas, and rape, and livestock include donkeys, deer, dogs, pigs, etc., and tools are bronze.

Under such circumstances, with such a rich family background, migrating to a new place, I don't believe that it will not be able to develop.

Of course, this is only the worst-case scenario, if it is not until the last moment, Han Cheng will not do it.

After all, everything here has cost them enough effort, and if it really migrates, a lot of hard work will be in vain.

But even so, for the sake of himself and the entire tribe, Han Cheng had to do this worst-case plan.

After all, this is a matter of self, his wife, children, and the fate of the entire tribe.

Wait until next year, and send some people out and go south.

Go over there and look for a place where the climate is suitable, and there is land and rivers suitable for settlement.

Some land was cleared there and a new sub-tribe was established.

Under the condition that the main tribe and the Tongshan residential area are still suitable for survival, it is relatively easy to send out some people to do this with the materials in these two places.

And for the tribe, this kind of early preparation and slow planning can minimize the damage that the tribe may encounter.

If you don't plan ahead, and wait until the weather gets colder every year, and you finally have to move from here to the south, then it's really too late to do these things.

In this way, he took all the belongings of the tribe and all the people of the tribe and ran headlong towards the south, which was so strange that he knew nothing...... It's exciting to think about.

If you don't get it right, you may hit your head and break the bloodstream, causing the tribe to suffer big losses.

Far from this kind of early planning, it is reliable and safe to move after the south is almost in the business.

In this kind of fate for himself and the tribe, he can't take any risks.

The more Han Cheng thought about it, the more he felt that this matter was feasible, even if he didn't establish a tribe there, it would be good to find such a place in advance first, so as not to be blind at a critical time.

When this thought arose, Han Cheng's worries about the Xiaoice River period that might happen suddenly decreased a lot.

If before, for the possible Xiaoice River, it was just a kind of mental psychology to fight hard with some old books, then at this moment, Han Cheng, who thought of this method, really had a bottom in his heart.

I should have thought of such a thing a long time ago!

On the wall, Han Cheng, who was facing the cold wind, maintained a smile on his face for a while, then reached out and patted his head, looking annoyed.

As early as when he began to build the Copper Mountain settlement, he wanted to disperse the tribe's population and wealth to a certain extent, and not put his eggs in one basket.

Han Cheng, who made this decision, has always felt very satisfied with this practice of diversifying the risks of the tribe, but at this time, looking at the thoughts at that time, it seems a little too petty.

Or maybe the pattern is too small.

The main thing is that the distance between the Tongshan residential area and the main tribe of Qingque is still too close.

And it's basically on the same latitude line.

In such a situation, it is normal to be fine, but if you encounter a large-scale natural disaster, such as floods, droughts, and cold waves, it is very likely to be affected together.

What I thought was safe at the time, but from the perspective of this point, it is not insurance at all.

The cunning rabbit still has three caves, and his tribe has only one copper mountain settlement area in addition to the main tribe, and now it seems that it is time to build another sub-tribe!

At the very least, it can't be compared to the rabbit who is often knocked to death by the witch's ears.

Of course, Han Cheng at this time did not count the small courtyard in Yanshan.

Yanshan is too close to the main tribe of Qingque, and can only be regarded as a vassal of the main tribe, and it cannot reach the status of a giant sect like the Tongshan residential area.

After figuring these things out, with these cold winds blowing, Han Cheng didn't feel very cold anymore.

Standing here for a while and blowing a cold wind, Han Cheng got down the wall, ready to talk to Wu and Senior Brother about this matter.

At this time, Wu was staying on the edge of the rabbit circle, and the whole person looked happy and very kind.

Of course, the premise is that you need to ignore what he's doing.

Looking at the pile of motionless rabbits on the ground, Han Cheng couldn't help but sniff, moved by Wu's kindness.

It's a pity that there are no chili peppers in the tribe, otherwise, so many rabbits can make a lot of spicy rabbit heads, and have a good time.

Well, close to Zhu Zhechi, he often comes into contact with kind-hearted witches, and unconsciously, Han Cheng has also become kind and loving.

After admiring Wu's neat technique for a while, Han Cheng also began to do it.

Instead of knocking the rabbit, the rabbit that the witch had killed was tied up with a rope and hung on a pole, and then a copper knife was used to peel it from the three-petal mouth.

The elder brother on the side has already peeled off several cylinder skins very skillfully.

After the skinned rabbit was disemboweled, the intestines were not discarded, but placed in a basin on the side.

There are other people who are often engaged in weaving, where their hands and feet are turning their intestines neatly.

When the intestines are turned over, they will be thrown into the basin, and when a certain amount is accumulated, someone will scrub them there with warm water and salt.

"Wu, senior brother, when the weather warms up next year, we will send some people to the south......"

While peeling the rabbit, Han Cheng opened his mouth to tell Wu and Senior Brother about what he had thought before.

As Han Cheng spoke, the movements of Wu, Senior Brother and the others gradually slowed down, and finally they simply stopped.

Wu didn't even like to do the things he liked to do to knock rabbits, and all of them listened carefully to Han Cheng's talk about the harm that the weather could cause to the tribe if the weather continued to get colder, and the many benefits that this could bring to the tribe.

As Han Cheng spoke, the expressions of several people kept changing.

When he heard that the weather continued to get colder, that the winter was getting longer and longer, that the crops that had not had time to be harvested might freeze to death, that the livestock of the tribe would die because they did not store enough food, and so on, the elder brother's fists clenched.

Wu's wrinkled face was full of horror and fear, and even the stick he used to knock the rabbit in his hand fell to the ground.

They all have a deep sense of the cold, because of the presence of stones, and now that winter is coming earlier and earlier, they also know something.

In the past, they might have felt frightened and darkened.

But now that the living standards of the tribe have been greatly improved, they don't have too many worries about this.

With ondols, adequate clothing, and food, they have a strong ability to resist the cold.

However, at this time, this kind of support in their hearts was torn apart by the scene depicted by Han Cheng.

The winters are getting longer and longer, and before the crops are ripe, they have been frozen to death by the early cold, and then they have become unharvested...... These scenes, which they had never thought of before, just need to listen to them to make people feel creepy.

In the past, the people in the tribe may not believe in these, but now, after just experiencing the radish and cabbage in the tribe, the yield was reduced because of the cold that came in advance, and the Wu and senior brothers who were distressed by this did not believe it.

What's more, this is still the most respected and wisest Son of God, who said it himself.

All the people who heard this were surrounded by fear.

Not only was it because it was too frightening, but it was even more frightening that they found it impossible to imagine in the face of such an unbeatable catastrophe.

Nothing can be done here except waiting for the crops to fail and the livestock to die of starvation.

"Miko, can you go to the south?!"

Wu Yi grabbed Han Cheng's hand and looked at Han Cheng with anticipation and nervousness.

As soon as Wu said this, Senior Brother and they also hurriedly raised their heads and looked at Han Cheng with the same gaze.

They all remembered that before the Son of God depicted this terrible scene of the disaster, he had said that he would wait until the weather warmed up next year, and then let some people go to the south with all his might.

Although I don't know why I want to go south, since Miko said this, it means that if I go south, it is very likely that the current predicament will be solved.

"Clever!"

Han Cheng nodded vigorously and gave Wu a thumbs up.

Seeing Miko nodding in approval and making such a move, several people let out a long breath.

"It's warmer in the south, it's warmer than here, if we really can't live here, let's go to the south and live there......"

"But that's not to say that the weather is necessarily going to be that bad, it's just the worst that can happen.

But we still have to prepare in advance, only in this way, can we protect our tribe to the greatest extent when the weather really comes......"

Han Cheng continued to speak to everyone about these things.

Wu, Senior Brother, and Lame Brothers, who were frightened by the terrible scene depicted by Han Cheng first, nodded their heads when they heard this, and felt that what Shenzi said was very correct.

Seeing this, Han Cheng was also very relieved, after all, just today, he came up with these things, and once again gained the reverent eyes of the tribesmen, pretending to be silent.

Just when Han Cheng was about to settle this matter, Wu Yan opened his mouth in confusion and asked a very profound question......

(Subscriptions are very sluggish during this time, so I implore those who can afford to give some subscriptions, thank you.) It's not an old ink money fan, but now I rely on this to eat, and without a subscription, life is not easy...... ）
