Chapter 246: Harvesting Wheat
The fragrance was all over the fields and the fields were golden, and Wang Yang couldn't help but exhale heavily.
It's finally time for a good harvest.
He squatted down and looked at the ears of wheat, only to see that the golden grains were already full, and he stretched out his hand and gently wiped it into his hand, and the shell fluttered down, revealing the beige tender flesh inside.
Wang Yang threw it directly into his mouth, chewed it a few times, and in the click, the wheat grains were chewed to pieces, and the rich wheat aroma mixed with the viscous feeling came, just like eating unripe cucumbers and persimmons, and there was a layer of powder on the tongue.
"Too much powder...... Wang Yang frowned slightly, it tasted good raw, but it felt a little dry.
He was still very happy, and peeled some more to eat, and the taste naturally could not be compared with his favorite meat, but just eating like this, he seemed to have eaten the most delicious thing in the world.
A year's hard work, plus the time of migration, took three years to achieve the current results.
This place is not a good place to settle, if it is mainly in the metal industry, the construction industry, or the animal husbandry industry, it is not a good location, which can be seen from the fact that Wang Yang did not plan to stay here in the first place.
Why is there no grass at the end of the world, but a single love for a flower? And not because wheat is found here.
It can be found here, for Wang Yang, who does not understand agriculture, it is a good message, indicating that wheat can be grown here.
He and the others were able to grow wheat to survive without having to face a struggle with the beasts.
On top of that, a stable life can free up more time to study other things, as opposed to precarious hunting for food. This way is easier for Wang Yang to take a few breaths.
Eating meat is good, but you need to spend time hunting every day. It is also quite troublesome to dry and smoke, which hinders the progress of the entire tribe.
Stable agriculture is different. Everyone only needs to harvest in a fixed season, sow seeds in a fixed season, and weed in a fixed season, and the rest of the time everyone is idle, and all the labor can be mobilized.
Some time ago, wasn't this how charcoal and clay were used?
Of course, if there is a better piece of land, close to the clay forest metal mines, it is natural to laugh.
Wang Yang has no extravagant hopes. In the past two years, he has also understood that it may be difficult to meet a better place if he keeps walking, either lacking this or that, life is short for decades, don't waste time on migration.
Now that wheat has been grown, being able to make a living from it can be regarded as a wish to let go of one thing. Then focus on other things.
Everyone also ran over happily one by one, learning from Wang Yang to pick a bunch of ears of wheat, rubbing off the husk in his hands, and throwing the wheat grains into his mouth. Chewed up.
They frowned, their expressions were strange, and their expressions were different. Seem...... It doesn't taste great.
But again, for those who are not picky eaters at the moment. It doesn't matter what it smells like, as long as it's not poisonous. As long as you can eat it.
Thinking of this, they are in a much better mood.
Wang Yang returned to the clearing, beckoned to them, and when they were all gathered together, he immediately explained to them how to harvest the wheat.
He drew a picture and told the people to cut the wheat, or pinch the ears of wheat, or cut some with a stone knife, but never pull it out.
Everyone frowned and did not speak.
Wang Yanghu looked at them suspiciously, and he didn't know if they understood, it stands to reason that this is not difficult to understand, why do you frown?
Fearing that things would be ruined, he led the people to the wheat field, and showed it himself, and he took the ears of wheat, or cut a section with the ears of wheat on it, and threw it into a bag of hides, and when it was full, he took it back to the open field.
"It's very simple, do you understand?"
Everyone still looked at it suspiciously, and the exorcist was a little hesitant, not knowing whether to ask or not.
Many times Wang Yang has thought about the things he asked, and it doesn't make any practical sense to ask himself, so do you ask, or don't ask? remembered that some time ago, Wang Yang was forced to get angry by the problems of himself and others, and he was scolding on the side, he struggled very much.
In the end, he didn't ask.
Wang Yang asked them to harvest, gathered his friends, and prepared to teach them to sift out the wheat grains, and then put them for storage.
The friends came to him, and the rows of well-behaved sat on the ground, listening carefully to what he was going to tell next.
Wang Yang took a bunch of ears, put the wheat grains between his fingers and clamped them, and pulled them forward, and the wheat grains fell one by one.
Put it in your hand and pinch it so softly a few times, and the outer shell will all fall off.
Then put the fruit into a bag and put it into a tunnel-shaped granary.
The friends had no objection and nodded one after another.
Wang Yang smiled with satisfaction and felt very relieved, these new generation of little guys are very spiritual, and they have an innate advantage in accepting images.
Maybe they need to look at pictures from birth, so they don't need to be a dummy at all, as if they are born to read pictures and draw pictures.
This transformation made Wang Yang see hope and the future.
He took some of the past, and the friends clumsily recalled Wang Yang's actions, and then did it slowly, and it didn't take long for them to become a little familiar.
Wang Yang nodded secretly and looked at the wheat field. It is also thanks to the great difference between wheat and barley and a series of rice grains that it is easier for everyone to obtain the fruit.
The difference is that after ripening, the kernel fruit and the shell of the wheat are separated, and they will fall off with a light touch, while those grains are sticky, and it is quite troublesome to easily obtain the rice grains, and more manpower and material resources need to be wasted.
While he was sighing at the special features of wheat, he saw everyone laughing and beckoning each other to pull wheat.
He nodded with satisfaction, suddenly looked at him, felt that something was wrong, and suddenly thought of the key point: "They are pulling wheat!" Pull wheat! Didn't I tell you to cut the wheat or pinch the ears of wheat? ”
With a calm face, Wang Yang called everyone and asked them why they pulled the wheat?
Seeing that his face was not very good-looking, everyone did not dare to hide it, and expressed that it was faster to pull it directly, and he had the experience of pulling weeds out of the wheat field at the beginning.
Wang Yang pursed his lips, and also understood that pinching the ears of wheat one by one is far less than grabbing it with two big hands, and lifting more than a dozen plants quickly, but those straws also have their own uses, which can be used as fertilizer to provide nutrients for the land.
There is a saying that if you haven't eaten pork, haven't you ever seen a pig run? Wang Yang planted wheat for the first time, and his ability was naturally deficient, but it was not the first time he had seen planting and harvesting.
I'll have to figure out how to explain it to them, and think of what examples to use as metaphors. (To be continued......)
