Add water to a large clay bowl, make a fire, bring to a boil, add the golden millet, continue to boil, and after a while, a pot of millet porridge is baked.

Su Yan poured this pot of millet porridge into three pottery bowls, and the amount was just right.

"Xiaohua Xiaoyue, come and taste the taste of this millet porridge." Saying that, Su Yan picked up a pottery bowl first, brought the pottery bowl to his mouth, and gently blew on the front, Su Yan slowly took a sip of millet porridge, which was a little hot, but it was within the range of what he could bear.

How long has it been since you drank millet porridge? Su Yan didn't remember anymore, and once again tasted the taste of millet porridge, which was slightly different from the millet porridge in his previous life, and it could be regarded as having its own flavor.

Drinking millet porridge, the corners of Su Yan's eyes were a little moist.

Hiss!

Xiaohua Xiaoyue learned from Su Yan to pick up a clay bowl and drink millet porridge, but she was burned to a little tongue by the steaming millet porridge, and then blew the wind on the millet porridge before continuing to drink millet porridge.

Feeling the taste of millet porridge, Xiaohua Xiaoyue can't tell whether millet porridge is delicious or not, probably belongs to the kind of food that can be eaten, if it is replaced by a fruit, sweet and sour, it is easy to distinguish whether the fruit is delicious or not.

Millet is not only used as a food to eat, as a doctor, Su Yan clearly understands the efficacy of millet, millet porridge can open the stomach, make up for deficiency, and benefit the dantian, which can be used for qi and blood loss, weak physique, and poor stomach tonic, suitable for maternal lack of milk, fatigue caused by postpartum weakness, and poor diet, which can be eaten for breakfast.

Regardless of whether millet is delicious or not, as the first crop that Su Yan found that can produce a large amount of food, it will continue to expand the planting area in the future, and will eventually become one of the main foods of the Dragon Tribe.

Su Yan sent the husked millet to the high-level leaders of the Dragon Tribe and several pregnant women, and gave the largest amount to the Snake Witch, who is considered the elder in the Dragon Tribe, and eating more millet porridge is good for the body.

Su Yan told the snake witch about the effect of millet porridge, and the snake witch accepted Su Yan's kindness with a smile.

It is really a right choice to use water to hull the millet, only a few people can hull thousands of catties of millet, Su Yan decided to build a few more water mills, after all, there will be more than 100,000 catties of millet output next year.

Snowflakes are flying in the sky, a light snow is a sign that winter has arrived, and there is good news, this year's winter is a normal winter, not a cold winter.

When the river was frozen in ice, the people of the Dragon Tribe called it a day and spent most of their time in their houses, only when the weather was fine, they would come out to breathe and move.

Su Yan is still busy in winter.

The most important thing next year, the dragon tribe will continue to fight outside the country next spring, Su Yan opened the rudimentary animal skin map, and looked for the three primitive tribes closest to the dragon tribe on the map.

It will take more than a day to travel from the dragon tribe to these three tribes, and if possible, these three primitive tribes will have to conquer and annex them, and if they can't do it, they will also conquer and annex two.

The number of adult labor limits the development of the dragon tribe, only the rapid increase of adult labor force can make the dragon tribe develop rapidly, it is not enough to rely on itself, and when Su Yan dies of old age, the total population of the dragon tribe reaches 10,000 is a problem, and if you want to quickly increase the adult labor force, you can only rely on external warfare.

However, when these three tribes are conquered next year, the other primitive tribes are a little far away from the dragon tribe, Su Yan plans to take time to build a wooden boat next year, and there are primitive tribes on the other side of the river waiting for the dragon tribe to conquer and annex.

In addition, Su Yan will no longer personally lead the team when he goes to war next spring, and Su Yan has personally led the team in the Dragon Tribe's foreign expeditions in the past few years, and several patriarchs are already familiar with the tactics of the expedition team and the attitude towards the target tribe, and Su Yan is no longer needed to appear in person.

Skipping the foreign war, the next step is to build a new earthen blast furnace.

The three earth blast furnaces that have been put into use, each earth blast furnace can only smelt five catties of copper per day, thanks to the emergence of hydraulic bellows, there are no restrictions, you can build a higher and larger earth blast furnace, of course, you can't build a large earth blast furnace in one step, that will be uncontrollable, and you have to grope forward step by step.

The old earth blast furnace is two meters high and the bottom diameter is one meter, and the new earth blast furnace Su Yan increases its size to one zhang higher and half a zhang in diameter at the bottom, and when the new earth blast furnace is completed, its copper smelting capacity will reach two to three times that of the old earth blast furnace, and the copper smelting capacity of a new earth blast furnace is about the same as that of three old earth blast furnaces, and soon the old earth blast furnace will be eliminated.

At the same time as designing the new soil blast furnace, Su Yan also modified the supporting hydraulic bellows, and the blowing volume of the bellows should keep up with the increase in the volume of the soil blast furnace.

After the drawings of the earthen blast furnace and hydraulic bellows were drawn, Su Yan drew the drawings of the wooden boat, the structure of the wooden boat is simpler, but the wooden boat should be built larger, at least able to accommodate ten people sitting on the wooden boat, and the fishing team can also use the wooden boat to fish in the middle of the river.

When designing the structure of the wooden boat, Su Yan thought of a good idea to cross the river, the river is not too turbulent, you can build a pontoon bridge with wood to connect the two sides of the river, from the pontoon bridge to cross the river is much simpler than using a wooden boat back and forth.

Su Yan temporarily gave up designing wooden boats and switched to designing pontoons.

Su Yan thought about it for a while, and felt that he could use multiple pieces of wood to tie them into a wooden raft, throw a wooden raft from the river bank into the river, and then take the wooden raft and put it all the way to the river, and the wooden rafts should be tied and fixed with ropes between the rafts.

The most suitable wood for making wooden rafts is bamboo, but Su Yan has not found bamboo so far, so he can only choose those ordinary woods.

Finally, the design of the pontoon bridge was completed, looking at the pontoon bridge drawn on the drawing, Su Yan felt that this pontoon bridge was more suitable than a wooden boat, but the wooden boat did not completely give up, and then Su Yan spent a little time to design the wooden boat, and this wooden boat always had a chance to use it.

The drawing thing is over.

Growing crops and expanding domesticated animals are still two of the most important things of the year, and they are related to the future of food for the dragon tribe.

Next spring when planting crops will be a lot of fatigue, before planting crops Su Yan will take the tribesmen to use a pickaxe to reclaim the land, the reclaimed land is more beneficial to crops, and has been planting crops for several years, the fertility in the soil is declining, it is time to consider the matter of farm fertilizer, can not wait until the grain production is significantly reduced before using farm fertilizer.

In the summer, the land will be cleared to expand the area of land that can be planted, and the road from the copper mine to the salt pans will need to be further cultivated.

As for expanding the scale of domesticated animals, this is fine as usual.
