Volume 2 Playing with the Tribe Chapter 362 Harvesting Rice
According to the rules of punishment in the tribe, twenty rods is a very heavy punishment. You must know that the wooden staff used for execution was eight centimeters thick, two and a half meters long, and fifteen centimeters wide, and was made of solid elm trees. At the time of execution, the executioner smashed it with all his might, and a single rod could swell for three days. Not to mention twenty rods, at least half of the life of the person being punished will be removed!
The bucks were punished two days ago, if it wasn't for Dingqi's tricks, how could the bucks walk around the next day and still hold the child to play?
Therefore, Cang thought that Ding Qi was really angry. But how did he know the deep reason for Ding Qi's anger?
Ding Qi knows that rats are carriers of a variety of pathogens, and rats themselves carry many pathogens such as viruses, bacteria, and parasites, and it is known that rats have plague, epidemic hemorrhagic fever, leptospira, typhus, tick relapsing fever, etc., and zoonotic pathogens with rats as carriers, and there will be no less than 200 pathogens in a mouse alone.
The plague, in particular, was a huge death. In the 14th century, the Black Death in Europe claimed the lives of about 25 million people, the Great Plague at the end of the Han Dynasty killed tens of millions of people, and the Great Plague at the end of the Ming Dynasty also killed tens of millions of people.
At first, Ding Qi thought that this was a primitive world, there were few germs and the like, and there was no harm in eating a mouse or a bat or something, so he just let it go, as long as he didn't eat rat meat in front of him. But Ding Qi really didn't dare to bet, especially because he was very disgusted with mice, and when others ate rat meat, he had to stay away, let alone let himself eat a bite.
Moreover, rats are more harmful to humans, and it is even rumored that they carry rabies, as for stealing food, biting wardrobes, causing floods, collapsing walls and other sabotage behaviors.
Therefore, Ding Qi specifically stipulated at a meeting that the tribesmen were not allowed to eat rats, feed rats and other things related to rats. Including this trip to the grassland, Ding Qi strictly asked everyone not to eat rats and marmots on the grassland, so as not to be infected with plague and other viruses. At the same time, he also repeatedly told the leader of the heavy hoof of the horse hunting tribe not to eat rats and marmots, even if there is nothing to eat, otherwise he will be punished by heaven.
But Ding Qi didn't expect that the elder group would form a group to disobey the order and form a group to breed rats, which really made him feel angry.
Cang soon carried out the order and transported all the rats in cages to the outside of the city and drowned in water. The rats were then dug in pits, limeed and buried, and the cages were burned. Even the rat pens were all cleared and burned outside the city, and the original site of the enclosure was sprinkled with a thick layer of lime for disinfection.
In addition, the warehouse also asked a team of soldiers to disinfect all the enclosures with lime water and sprinkle grass and wood ash for treatment.
While the warehouse was dealing with the rats, Ding Qi went to the artisan area to see how the craftsmen were prepared, such as sickles, wooden forks, back baskets and other tools related to harvesting rice, to ensure that the harvest of rice tomorrow must be successful.
Then Ding Qi went back, thought about it for a while, and used the charcoal he made to draw up a constitution for the Love City Health Campaign.
1. Carry out criticism and self-criticism, and self-assess what is hygienic and what is not hygienic.
2. In order to prevent diseases, actively exercise, go to bed early and get up early, run and exercise every morning, and conduct radio gymnastics exercises, so as to raise the physical fitness exercise to the height of the whole tribe.
3. For the purpose of preventing and reducing diseases and protecting people's health, wash hands before and after meals, advocate eating cooked food and drinking boiled water, and prohibit eating rodents and raw meat.
4. Strengthen the management of the existing cleaning team, formulate a sanitation system for all types of work, and ensure that the workplace is hygienic after work every day; There is no sanitary dead end in the residence; Every Friday, we clean up the interior and exterior of the workshop, living room, canteen, and toilet to keep it clean and hygienic.
Fifth, pay attention to personal hygiene, brush teeth frequently, bathe frequently, build a large bathhouse, take a bath in batches at regular intervals every day, and often dry animal skin clothes and clothing.
6. Do not spit, defecate anywhere, rebuild toilets, and eliminate mosquitoes, flies, fleas and rats. build more wells,
7. Keep a distance from wild animals to prevent rabies, and do not allow dogs fed in the tribe to lick and eat wounds to prevent being bitten by dogs.
There are not many entries, but Dandic asks each job to develop a detailed sanitation system according to its own work characteristics. For example, the chef of the canteen should wash his hands frequently, cut his nails frequently, separate raw and cooked food, clean the kitchen utensils, cook the food thoroughly before eating, and do not eat moldy and spoiled food.
In the evening of the same day, a meeting of the tribal directors and above was held again in the Dragon Palace, and the Aicheng Health Campaign was held from now on, and the articles of the Aicheng Health Movement were promoted, starting from each of the tribes.
After the meeting, Ding Qi left the elders and the medical witch group behind to carry out criticism and self-criticism, especially the five elders, who were punished by Ding Qi in front of the high-ups. It's not that Ding Qi is unwilling to make this kind of thing public, it's really embarrassing. The whole group of elders violated the rules of the tribe, and it was a shame to say it!
Ding Qi had no choice but to withhold their rations, and each person's meal was only one-third of what it used to be, for twenty days, in the name of "lose weight!" Anyway, they are fat now, and they are not afraid of starvation.
At the same time, Ding Qi asked that from tomorrow night, there will be a meeting every Monday, Wednesday and Friday to study, and the theme study will be combined with self-study.
Some people said that they didn't understand and didn't know what Ding Qi was talking about.
It doesn't matter, the conference will keep talking, talking non-stop. It is also necessary to let the repertory troupe come out to perform, preach the importance of hygiene, explain by example, be ashamed of eating mice, and not be in the company of rat-eaters. Although so, Ding Qi himself will be very tired, but as long as he can achieve his goal, it is nothing to be tired and tired!
The next day the weather was sunny and the sky was high and cloudy, which was a good day.
After breakfast, the tribe continued to carry out its daily work according to the previous division of labor. Ding Qi took Yi and a group of agricultural planting personnel to the rice field to prepare for the harvesting of rice.
The deer routinely made a sacrifice in front of everyone, thanking the heavens, thanking the Great Wilderness, and thanking the Aragami for bringing the magical seeds to everyone. Divination results, good luck!
Everyone cheered loudly, looking forward to the fruits of the harvest.
Ding Qi held a sickle in his hand and stepped on a pair of straw sandals to show everyone how to harvest rice. The sharp sickle easily slashed under the stalks, allowing Ding Qi to easily hold the rice in his hand, and then put it aside to continue harvesting. The three rows of rice in front of him soon turned into piles of rice lying together and neatly arranged.
Yi also began to arrange manpower, standing in the rice field with him, and harvesting rice in the same way as Ding Qi.
"Bang! Cha! Cha! ”
The sound of the sickle cutting rice sounded continuously, crisp and pleasant. The sound is very neat, but the results of harvesting rice are not the same. The rice that Ding Qi has cut has very low stubble, and it basically does not poke people's feet. The paddy is also placed very neatly, which is convenient for people to bundle in the later stage. As for the first time to harvest rice, the rice stubble fluctuates and the rice piled up on the ground is messy.
Ding Qi understood that the first time he cut wheat, he was inferior to them, and he only had more than 10,000 years of knowledge than them. So, he slowed down and explained the essentials of harvesting rice to everyone, and slowed down the movements so that they could see every movement clearly and taught them step by step.
Everyone in the agriculture group would come forward to learn how to cut rice, and when all the rice was cut, a third of them still didn't know how to use the phone. Ding Qi could only shake his head and smile bitterly, there is still too little rice now!
However, Ding Qi made sure that the men would be the first to harvest the soybeans, millet and peppers. Moreover, this situation of more people and less crops will fall one by one by this time next year, which will definitely make everyone truly experience the feeling of a bumper harvest!
Then, Ding Qi showed everyone how to bundle the rice. Since the end of the twentieth century, this work has been rarely done, except in the kind of plots where large machinery cannot enter, and it is necessary to bundle wheat or rice in this way.
Take out a small handful of about a dozen rice plants from the rice pile, pass through the pile of rice near the rice ears in front of you, and pull the handful of rice tightly with both hands, squeezing the pile of rice to the middle. After twisting the handful of rice together with both hands crossed clockwise, press the root of the rice under the rope formed by the handful of rice, and tie it together. With a slight mention, the whole rice was lifted up, and not a single rice fell off.
Others followed suit, and soon bundled the less than one-acre of rice.
Next, Ding Qi arranged for each of them to send two bundles of rice back to the central square of Ningcheng, where a place had been cleared out and was ready to be used to dry and threak the grain.
However, the whole process of rice harvesting is not over yet. In order to ensure that the grains were returned to the warehouse, Ding Qi and the rest of the people lined up in a row, walking from one end of the rice field to the other, looking down for the rice ears and rice stalks left in the field to ensure that nothing was missed. Then, on the way back to the city, continue to look for the ears of rice that may have been left on the road by the people who transported the rice before.
Ding Qi can be said to have relived the fun of picking ears of wheat in his childhood!
Come to the central square, where the harvested rice has been piled up into a hill.
In front of this rice mountain, there are three square wooden barrels with a length and width of one meter and a height of one meter, which are ready for threshing and threshing.
Threshing, as a northerner, Ding Qi is the first experience, and it is also the threshing of the primitive period, and it is the first time, and no one dares to compete with Ding Qi for this first.
Why? Because no one wants to live in the lowest form of society, primitive society.
Tinch had only gone through the process of harvesting wheat before, but he had seen people in the south on television threshing grain from the more primitive tool of the grain bucket.
Seeing that everyone was waiting for him, Ding Qi was unequivocal, stepped forward to pick up a bundle of rice, and threw it into the wooden barrel in front of him.
Syllable!
Whoa! The plump grains fell into the bucket as they were beaten, and before they stopped, there was another crackling sound, and more grains fell, swirling with the previous grains, and landed on the bottom of the barrel or on the crossbar of the barrel wall.
Smack! Bang Bang Bang!
Ding Qi kept beating the rice in his hand until there was not a single grain on the ear, then he threw the straw aside, picked up another bundle of rice and continued to beat it.
The members of the agricultural group followed Ding Qi and began to line up in front of the other two grain buckets to beat the rice in their hands, as he did.
This is a process of harvesting, a process of learning, and a process of experiencing the true meaning of life.
Bitterness and sweetness are in such an inseparable process, which makes people have a long aftertaste and make people understand that they must always cherish the present and cherish this hard-won day.
This time, everyone in the agriculture group experienced the process of threshing a handful of grains. They were so excited that they split a bundle of rice into two or even three portions and beat it, and they would only experience the joy of harvesting rice for the first time in their lives.
Although the leader has said that the grain that is beaten now is the part that can be eaten in the future. But they don't think about it, they just want to be able to beat the grains down quickly, watch the rice in the barrel gather more and more, and feel the feeling of the rice in their hands, which will be a beautiful memory that they will never forget in their lifetime.
When they are old, reminisce about the time when they threshed with the chief, and let their grandchildren know how proud and proud their grandfather was!
And this pride and pride belong to the entire Ding tribe, to everyone in the tribe, and to become an inseparable part of the tribe's culture and spirit!
