Ding Qi stood still, turned his head and said to the two of them:

"Don't worry, you won't be allowed to suffer for too long!"

In the afternoon, the three parties exchanged as promised.

The Ding tribe received a total of 150 slaves and 1,000 animal skins, and the things exchanged for were mainly pottery, salt and incense powder. As for the fishing nets, the forty slaves and the water chestnuts, lotus seeds, and lotus roots they brought over exchanged for two nets, and the Yan tribe also exchanged animal skins for one net.

It's just that the water chestnut and other seeds brought by Shui Yuan didn't make Ding Qi too excited, among these things, water chestnut didn't know how to plant, lotus seeds and lotus roots and other tribes had already planted them on the shore of that lake.

Looking at that net, Shui Yuan's eyes were hot for a while, this is an artifact! He had the intention of snatching it back, but unfortunately his strength and timing did not allow it. Immediately make up your mind to go back and plunder some slaves back, or according to the Ding tribe, find something valuable, including all kinds of colorful stones, useful plant fruits or roots, useful news, etc.

Yan also had the same plan, but he saw that the Ding tribe had such a large population, and he was also ready to develop the population of his tribe more, and at the same time obtain some resources that could be exchanged.

In the evening, there was a bonfire, and the atmosphere was very warm. The Ding tribe sent some male tribesmen to participate, but the people of the Blackwater tribe and the Yanhuo tribe were a little disappointed, and there were no women to participate, how to carry out the courtship dance?

The buck accompanied the two to watch the party together, and Shui Yuan took advantage of the good atmosphere to ask the buck in front of Yan how to exchange it for the axes and saws used to cut down trees like the Ding tribe, and even the weaving methods of weapons and fishing nets.

The bucks did not answer them, only said that the time had not come, and informed them that the exchange would take place in the exchange place in the future, and that they would have all the supplies. At the same time, the stag vaguely reminded them that Bai Shui, Bai Ze and other tribes were friends of the Ding tribe, and hoped that the five tribes could take more care, and the two readily agreed.

Reminded by Shui Yuan's eyes, Yan invited the leader of the Ding tribe to participate in the hunting day event held in the Heishui tribe, and proposed to hold a large-scale exchange meeting.

The next day, Shui Yuan and Yan reluctantly waved goodbye to the bucks and returned home. Although the two of them exchanged what they needed, everything about the Ding tribe was only on the surface, and as for the content below the surface, they never got it.

The Ding tribe became more and more mysterious, and the two of them became more awe-struck and more curious. But after all, they still couldn't get what they wanted, and they regretted that they would return home, looking forward to getting it again in the future.

The two went back, and the Ding tribe continued the large-scale production movement.

In the paddy field, Ding Qi would take time every day to check the germination of rice seeds and whether there was any rot.

But in the past few days, something happened that made Ding Qi happy. After checking the germination of rice, he went to the lake to interact with the white sturgeon playing in the lake, and found a large green leaf growing in the lake.

The little lotus has only shown its sharp corners, and there are dragonflies standing on its head!

Looking at the familiar leaves, Ding Qi jumped up with a snort, startling the white sturgeon that was eating, and with a flick of his tail, he swam to the deep water, and hit Ding Qi with a splash, drenching his head all over his face.

Ding Qi didn't care, he smirked there, startling the little pot friends who were fishing on the other side, wondering if the leader was studying something evil.

After getting about 9,000 lotus seeds, Ding Qi immediately arranged for someone to grind the concave end of the lotus seeds on the stones, and then scattered them separately to the water area of about ten acres around the shore of the lake, with an average estimate of about one or two seeds per square meter. The main reason is that Ding Qi doesn't know the method of planting lotus seeds, only knows that the lotus seeds are broken, and then throws them into the water and waits for the lotus seeds to sprout.

He didn't worry about the lotus seeds not germinating, he had heard that the lotus seeds that had been preserved for thousands of years could sprout, not to mention these lotus seeds that were harvested last year? Lian's whole body is a treasure, but she can make all kinds of things

Different dishes, even lotus leaves can be eaten.

Seeing the lotus leaves grow, Ding Qi suddenly remembered that there was another thing that was a treasure all over his body, and he didn't know if it had grown.

Hongling!

This is the aquatic plant fruit obtained from the Red Lake Tribe, but this time the Blackwater Tribe also brought some water chestnuts to exchange, which made Ding Qi a little puzzled, why didn't the White Water Tribe have it? The two tribes are next to each other, is it monopolized by the Blackwater tribe? But the two of them also share the seeds, which is incomprehensible, and can only be attributed to the fact that the place where the red lings grow is in the area of the Black Water Tribe, and the White Water Tribe can't get it.

However, this did not affect Tinch's actions.

Soon came to another body of water, which was the place where Ding Qi used to catch ducks alone, where most of the water area is relatively shallow, suitable for planting red lings. In fact, Ding Qi didn't know how to grow red lings at all, and this was the information that the leader of the Red Lake tribe told Ding Qi when he came here to chat, and they picked it in shallow water. Tinch combined this information and chose this place as the place to grow water chestnut.

I haven't been here for a while, but my eyes have already turned into a green water. Clumps of diamond-shaped leaves floated on the water, and in Dingqi's eyes, it was the food for the coming winter.

Rhombine leaves have also grown!

That's good news!

After reading this, Ding Qi returned to the tribe to find Ben and the buck, and asked them to arrange for someone to take care of it, so that no one would know and treat the lotus leaves and water chestnut leaves as weeds.

Next, while the rice has not yet germinated, Ding Qi is ready to start planting soybeans and millet into the cultivated fields.

When the primitive society first started planting, it was slash-and-burn farming, and then it was no longer cared for, collecting more and collecting less to see the sky and eating. And Ding Qi's current approach has suddenly raised the development process of primitive agriculture by thousands of years, at least to the Han Dynasty. Presumably, it should be able to increase the planting yield a lot. In particular, the planting method adopts the planting method of strip sowing, spacing and ventilation effect, which has basically improved to the 21st century and improved for more than 10,000 years.

The land has been leveled, and since there is no cocoon, Ding Qi can only use the method of on-demand sowing, just like he used to use a steel pipe to point the corn planting. There are no steel pipes, and there are no bronze pipes, so Ding Qi asked people to cut some bamboos as thick as eggs, cut them into 1.2 to 1.5 meters long, and the bamboo joints were opened, and the bottom was cut into a wedge shape about five centimeters long. The bamboo joints must be all knocked off, so as not to prevent the seeds from falling.

However, this bamboo on-demand tool has a disadvantage, or it is different from the previous tools before rural mechanized on-demand, that is, there is no place to step on, and people need to poke down hard.

Due to the sufficient manpower, a total of 50 bamboo tubes were made, a row of 50 people, 50 centimeters apart, and all the soybeans and millet seeds on hand were planted in less than a day.

This was followed by the diversion of water. The stream was blocked from the top of the stream, and the water flooded directly into the newly planted land.

Ding Qi specially sent five or six people to learn these things with him, explaining to them how to plant and how to weed.

After the dry land was dealt with here, Ding Qi took people to the paddy field to plant the seeds, that is, the chicken head rice. Five of the previously excavated Jiugong-style paddy fields have been used to plant calamus grass, while the other three are planted, leaving only one field for rice.

These three fields are close to the lake and can be replenished in time.

Because he didn't know the method of planting the seeds, Ding Qi had to use the same planting method as the red ling, simple and rough sowing, that is, just grab a handful of seeds and sprinkle them in. After the buds grow, water is injected according to the water depth of the collection site mentioned by the white water leader.

In addition, Ding Qi also plans to regularly supplement manure for calamus, gourd and rice in paddy fields to supplement their nutritional needs.

After these things were done, Ding Qi found that the rice in the seedling paddy field had sprouted. The overall is good, but there are also seeds that fail to develop

The case of buds. Tinch was very happy and hurried to get a small amount of horse manure and reindeer manure for top dressing. When the seedlings grow strong, they can withstand the wind and rain. In addition, the rice has just sprouted, and it will take about a week for it to grow large enough for planting.

Tincchi was very busy, mainly because it was the first time he had done these things, and he needed people to follow him to learn how to plant. No, he's busy planting pepper seedlings again.

After the celebration, he took time to carve out a small area in the fish skin greenhouse and plant the only pepper seeds he had. Now these pepper seeds have grown into 10 centimeter tall pepper seedlings that can be transplanted.

Planting pepper seedlings, this Ding Qi is good at. When he was a child, he accompanied his parents to do a lot of farm work, he understands.

To transplant vegetable seedlings, choose a time when the sun is not big in the afternoon, and the sun overhead will not cause harm to the vegetable seedlings. Pepper seedlings are dug up from the fish skin greenhouses and transported to the edge of the fields where soybeans and millet are grown.

The roots of each pepper seedling are wrapped in a piece of wet mud, which can ensure the survival rate of peppers. These things are taught by Ding Qi to the people around him, especially Ben, he wants to ensure that they all learn and cultivate them with his own hands. Five or six hundred seedlings are enough to plant about three points of land, and the spacing is large enough to ensure that the plants have good wind permeability after they grow.

After the pepper seedlings are planted, water is brought in to water the pepper field, and after one night, the pepper seedlings will grow strongly. If you are worried about sun poisoning, you can also build a shaded grass shed on top of the nursery to avoid direct sunlight. Of course, the 10 acres of land are surrounded by wooden fences to prevent all kinds of beasts and beasts from coming in and causing damage to these crops.

Giving some precautions to everyone, Ding Qi carried a red deer and their newly cast hoe, and Ben with a shovel, pulled a pair of straw sandals like an old farmer, and slowly returned to his residence.

The two of them washed their faces and cleaned up with a clay jar of water in the yard, and Ding Qi said to Ben:

"You go to the leek field and cut some leeks and come back, and I'll go get some quail eggs and make you a good meal in the evening."

After saying that, the two separated, but as soon as they went out, they saw Lu standing outside the door, with his hands behind his back, like a high school girl, looking at Ding Qi with expectant eyes.

"Ahh You're here, deer, go, come with me to touch the quail eggs, and make something delicious at night! ”

As soon as the deer heard that there was something delicious, her eyes suddenly narrowed into a slit, and her sweet smile revealed her inner thoughts. Recently, she will come to Ding Qi every day to eat small stoves, which is called a beautiful name: to test Ding Qi's cooking skills.

Ding Qi is also very happy to have beautiful women to chat with after a busy day.

The two chatted happily as they walked, and the passers-by also watched the two pass by with envy.

"What are you going to eat?"

"Well, I saw them catch a basket of green shrimp by the lake in the morning, so I'm going to make you a 'scrambled egg with leek and shrimp', yellow, white and green, which looks very good. You'll taste it. ”

When the deer heard such a delicacy, he felt that his mouth began to secrete saliva. She herself is a little gluttonous cat, a doctor witch who dares to steal even tribute!

The two quickly took a pound of quail eggs, and then went to the cafeteria to get the green shrimp. Since it was not yet time to eat, Aunt Mei's group of cooks were busy in the cafeteria. In fact, they can't be called chefs, they just know how to cook, at least it's not unpalatable.

Aunt Mei held her stomach up, and when she saw the deer coming, she didn't forget to make fun of Ding Qi and the others.

"Yo! The leader and his family are here, what do you want to eat? I'll do it for you. ”

When the deer heard this, his little face turned red, and he grabbed Ding Qi's arm and hid behind him, not forgetting to twist Ding Qi's old waist with his fingers.

"Shhh

It hurts! Ding Qixin said that women like to screw their boyfriends or husbands' meat, but it started in primitive society!

Heredity!
