Chapter 193: Harvesting Potatoes! (Subscription Requested!)
At the beginning, Lin Luo agreed to help Mei form a female hunting team, the main reason was to prepare for future domestication in advance.
Therefore, after the female hunting team members ended their hunting for the red muntjac and returned from the barren grassland, Lin Luo assigned them the task of domesticating the beasts.
In addition, Red Feather was appointed as the captain and was responsible for all matters related to domestication.
"It's been okay lately. ”
Hearing Lin Luo's inquiry, Red Feather immediately put down what he was doing and replied to Lin Luo: "The first batch of beasts that were transported back have basically adapted to life here now, and they will no longer make the move of crashing into the fence.
The ones who hit the fence regularly these days are the same beasts that have only been brought back in the last few days. ”
"Well, it's not bad. ”
Hearing this, Lin Luo nodded with satisfaction.
Then, he turned his head to look inside the fence.
After a month of hard work, more than 100 wild animals such as bison, wildebeest, and antelope were captured and transported back alive in the fence.
And in order to prevent these beasts, when they rush in groups, they pose a threat to the fence.
Lin Luo also divided the entire breeding area into four small areas with fences, and there were only about twenty or thirty heads in each area.
Now, the violet sap had been used up a few days ago, and the only beasts they could breed this year were the ones in front of them.
"Red Feather, you must let everyone be careful when feeding!"
After turning around the fence for a while, and after briefly checking the situation of the beast, Lin Luo turned his head and instructed Red Feather.
Today, although these beasts are all kept in captivity, it does not mean that they are domestic animals.
They are still very wild and will attack humans.
Therefore, it is necessary to be vigilant when feeding, otherwise there is a high risk of injury.
This is also the reason why Lin Luo set up a female hunting team early to let these women master some hunting skills.
"I understand. ”
Hearing this, Red Feather immediately nodded in response.
After instructing Hong Yu, Lin Luo didn't stay here for long, and quickly turned around and left.
After leaving the breeding area, Lin Luo went to check the excavation of the ice cellar and various matters related to the expansion of the fish pond.
Although the Tribal Alliance did not go on a big hunt this year, it was busier than usual.
Because, there is so much to do.
In addition to these things that Lin Luo was responsible for, the mining and casting on the side of the mine was still going on.
The Fox Chief has also found several natural caves on the nearby hills, and is currently leading people to expand the caves to ensure that all the clansmen have a place to live during the dead season.
In addition to arranging daily hunting, the bamboo chiefs also led people to cut down trees and burn charcoal to provide sufficient heating during the dead season.
All of these things are not small projects, and they require a lot of labor.
Therefore, now that the entire tribal alliance is full of men, women and children, there are no idlers in sight.
In this way, in this hot and busy situation, time passed quickly.
Before you know it, the grass and trees are gradually turning completely yellow, and the dead leaves on the trees are falling in the cold north wind.
The dry season, which is busier than ever, is coming to an end!
"Can the ground really bear fruit?"
"Didn't you say that the fruit is called a potato? ”
"I'd love to see it soon, I've never seen a fruit growing in the soil. ”
......
Next to the field, the members of the collection team who are usually in charge of collecting are all whispering and discussing.
"Lin Luo, the collection team has arrived, can you dig now?"
At the front of the crowd, the Bamboo Chief turned his head to Lin Luo expectantly and asked.
On the side, the fox chieftain who came after getting the news was also full of anticipation.
"That's it. ”
Looking at the potato plants in front of him whose leaves had also turned yellow, Lin Luo nodded and said.
Now, as the dry season draws to a close and temperatures continue to drop, it's time to harvest the potatoes.
"Dig!"
After hearing Lin Luo's reply, Chief Bamboo immediately waved his hand and shouted.
After speaking, he did not forget to instruct: "Dig all by hand, don't destroy the potatoes in the ground."
Don't eat them casually, these potatoes that have not been roasted are all highly poisonous. ”
"Yes. ”
Hearing this, everyone in the collection team nodded in unison.
Then, all of them immediately took action, crouched down next to the potato plant and dug up at the root with their hands.
"There's a potato in the ground! I dug one!"
Soon, a shout of excitement rang out.
One of the collectors, holding a freshly dug potato in his hand, shouted at the crowd.
"I dug up one, too. ”
"Me too, I have a lot of them here!"
......
The next moment, all kinds of excited shouts rang out one after another.
As the crowd continued to dig, the potatoes were dug out of the soil.
"It's really grown!"
Reaching out to pick up the freshly shaved potatoes from one of the gathering team members, the bamboo chief suddenly said with a smile on his face.
Lin Luo also picked up a potato with a lot of dirt sticking, and the corners of his mouth showed a slight smile.
Although the potatoes planted this time were not as big as the ones he brought back from the Plover tribe.
However, Lin Luo's heart was already very satisfied.
The main reason for the small size of the potatoes planted this time is that the growth time is insufficient.
After all, the discovery of potatoes in the Duck Tribe was a complete accident, and Lin Luo had not been prepared for planting at all before.
As a result, the growth time of potatoes is not very sufficient.
If he waits until next year's growing season and makes adequate preparations in advance, Lin Luo believes that he will definitely be able to get a bumper harvest.
"Chief, the number of these potatoes is not very large. ”
Holding the potatoes in his hand, Lin Luo turned his head to Chief Bamboo and said, "So, I propose to collect all these potatoes and store them, and continue to plant them as seeds for next year's growing season." ”
"Good!"
Although the bamboo chief was eager to taste it, what exactly did this potato taste like.
But hearing Lin Luo say this, he immediately nodded in agreement.
Then, Lin Luo turned his head to the fox chief and asked, "Fox chief, what have you decided to do with your potatoes?"
"Like you, let's store it first!"
Hearing Lin Luo's inquiry, the fox chief replied aloud.
After all, compared with the Bamboo Clan, the Fox Clan harvested fewer potatoes, and it was not enough to even plug the teeth between the teeth of one person, so naturally they would not be in a hurry to eat the freshly harvested potatoes.
In this way, after all the potatoes were dug out, Lin Luo arranged for someone to put them all into a large bamboo jar and store them in a dry cave.
Ten days after the potato harvest, white snowflakes fell from the sky with a howling cold wind.
Dead season has arrived!
