Chapter 178: My Own Way
Lin Huo picked up a potato as if he had found a treasure, took it in his hand and looked at it repeatedly, the potato that was inconspicuous just now was equivalent to a priceless piece of Heshi Bi in his eyes at this moment.
"Lang, those people in the west actually have this kind of good thing, it's a waste to give them all this thing, or we can find an opportunity to attack them and snatch some of this thing back." Lin Huo said excitedly.
Wang Lang looked at the overexcited people, he was really a little speechless, their appearance was a good confirmation of the sentence that people die for money, birds die for food, and the temptation of profit almost made them forget, there is still a lot of gap between the tribe and those in the west today.
Wang Lang snorted coldly and said: "You guys are sober, what to fight, the new clansmen have not been trained, they don't even know how to use bows and arrows now, don't you let them go to death to attack?" ”
These words poured down like a basin of cold water, extinguishing the flame of greed in their hearts.
"Alas, it's a pity, although this thing is good, but there are only three, it's useless at all!" Lin Huo sighed.
"Whoever told you three is useless." Wang Lang said with a smile.
When the four of them heard this, they suddenly came to their senses, and Lin Huo said with a smile: "I knew you had a way, tell me quickly, how to use this thing." ”
Wang Lang didn't answer Lin Huo's words, but asked the soldiers, "How did you cultivate this Ugu in the Agni Fire Tribe before?" ”
The soldier replied, "It's easy to grow, it has seeds, it's like growing corn, and you don't have to worry about it once the seeds are planted." ”
Hearing this, Wang Lang was a little speechless, how could potatoes be planted with seeds, he suddenly felt that what Lin Huo said was indeed right, this thing was indeed a great waste in their hands.
Although Wang Lang did not grow up in the countryside before, but as the basic common sense of modern people, they all know that root crops such as potatoes and sweet potatoes can be used directly, although Wang Lang does not know why he does not use seeds, but the experience of hundreds of years in that world makes him know that there is definitely a reason for doing so.
Wang Lang knew that the planting method of those people was wrong, but Lin Huo and their faces were very ugly, there were no seeds, only these few potatoes were useless at all, and they couldn't think of any other way than to eat them.
Bark wept and said, "Chief, there is no seed here, what should we do!" The three Ugu could only be eaten. ”
Wang Lang looked at their lost appearance and couldn't help but smile and said, "We don't need seeds, as long as we have these three, we can plant them." ”
"Chief, this is impossible! The Fire Tribe has always used seeds to grow, how can something grow without seeds? One soldier said incredulously.
Lin Huo looked at the soldier with some dissatisfaction, and shouted angrily: "What do you know, the leader said that there is a way, and naturally there is a way. ”
The soldier looked at the angry Lin Huo, a little frightened in his heart, but he still couldn't believe what Wang Lang said, which was really against his previous experience.
Wang Lang waved his hand, let Lin Huo, who was staring at the bull's eye, retreat, and said, "You can't blame him, it's understandable that Agni doesn't know this method." ”
Looking at the soldiers, he said, "There's nothing wrong with you here, go back and tell them what I said before." ”
The soldiers walked out of the tribe with doubts in their hearts, and several people were arguing with each other on the way about being able to grow Ugu without seeds.
After the soldiers left, Wang Lang said to Lin Huo and the others: "The Agni Fire Tribe doesn't know my method, and this matter must not be leaked out in the future, understand?" ”
The four of them nodded solemnly, and they couldn't wait to know how Wang Lang could grow potatoes out of nothing without seeds.
"Chief, tell me what this solution is." Kong Yi asked patiently.
Wang Lang smiled: "This Wugu itself is a seed, as long as it is planted, it can grow. ”
But Wang Lang's words made them even more confused, and the bark couldn't help asking: "Chief, if you plant this one Wugu, it will still grow into one Wugu, and there is no point in doing this!" ”
Wang Lang smiled and said: "We don't have to plant it whole, this thing will sprout, as long as we cut it into small pieces after germination, we can plant it, so that one Ugu can grow four or five, although there are only three now, but according to this method, plus this thing and seeds, as long as we survive two dry seasons and rainy seasons, how many Ugu can be harvested." ”
The four of them frowned and pondered, but this kind of math problem was simply torture for them, they could count to a hundred, and they couldn't figure out how many they could have.
"Lang, just tell me straight, how much we can receive in the two dry seasons and the rainy season, I really can't think of such a complicated thing." Lin Huo scratched his head and asked.
Wang Lang smiled and said, "Let's tell you this, when the time comes, we will be able to plant so much corn and corn." ”
The four of them looked at Wang Lang in great surprise, their eyes were full of disbelief, these three Wugu could become so much.
"Chief, how did you come up with this method, have you ever seen this kind of Ugu before?" Bark asked curiously.
"I once told you that I came to the guidance of the gods, and the gods told me many things, this kind of thing that the gods told me called potatoes, not Ugu, so I didn't know what Ugu was before, but I just saw it, and I remembered it." Wang Lang once again brought the gods out to seek an explanation for his own insight, and for Lin Huo, pushing all this to the gods was the most reasonable explanation.
Sure enough, after Wang Lang finished speaking, he showed a sudden expression, and the worship of the gods in his heart became a little stronger.
"Lang, do the gods call this Ugu a potato?" Lin Huo was a little clumsy in saying this Mandarin-pronounced noun.
Wang Lang nodded and said: "That's right, since the gods call this thing a potato, then we, as believers in the gods, should no longer call this thing Wugu, in our tribe in the future, this is a potato." ”
"Since everything calls this thing dirt. Potatoes, then we have to be like the gods. Lin Huo said with a serious expression, the gods are the supreme existence for these people, and in their hearts, what the gods say is right, and now Wang Lang is the messenger of the gods in the world, and his words are the will of the gods.
Decided on the name of the potato, Wang Lang has his own plan in his heart, for what he is familiar with, Wang Lang intentionally or unintentionally named it in Mandarin, now the language of the tribe, in addition to the local language, will occasionally be mixed with a very standard Chinese pronunciation, Wang Lang believes that over time, under his own guidance, the language of this tribe will slowly move closer to the Chinese language that once was.
