Chapter 237 Stockpiling Grain, Stockpiling Grain
In autumn, the leaves are yellow, the autumn breeze is blowing, and after the summer heat fades, the autumn harvest season is ushered in.
The construction of houses on the island in the middle of the lake was completed, and all the clansmen had their own houses.
The division of the territory is also very fair, all the families are divided into two clean and bright houses, and the bachelors also live in collective dormitories that are a hundred times better than the wooden houses, and even the row of two-story small buildings where the rainbow lives has built more than 20 buildings, but in addition to a few leaders to move in, there are still a lot of idle ones, just waiting for qualified people to move in.
Therefore, the two-story building with a courtyard is now a symbol of status on the island in the middle of the lake, and it is also the beginning of the human class in another world.
Adjacent to the two-story courtyard is a huge granary made of red brick houses, and the beans are stored in the granary for only two houses, but the people are confident that when the winter wheat harvest is harvested, it will definitely be full.
Nowadays, the most piled up in the granary is the forage needed by the farm, and some of the wooden sheds where the tribesmen used to live are also filled with sweet potato seedlings and blades of grass, and truckloads of sweet potatoes are put into the cellar for long-term preservation.
The golden corn, the soybeans with full grains, the red beans, and the mung beans are all happy, and the most pleasing thing is the sweet potatoes that are larger than the stone bowl.
The tribesmen heard that these are all foods that can be stored and eaten, not to mention how happy they are, although they are very tired to work in the fields every day, but everyone is satisfied, looking at so much food, they know that this snow season must be much better than in previous years.
The courtyard of the wooden house where Ah Zheng and Hong lived has now been converted into the home of a scalper, and Ah Zheng and Da Xiong also live in a small two-story building not far from Hehong.
Recently, the blue bird and Ah Zheng live close to the rainbow, every day when Yinshi is not there, the two of them run over to accompany her, see that the rainbow is in a bad mood, Ah Zheng is considerate to give her every day to change the tricks to make food, but also take care of her three meals a day.
Jian An and Henna, who are holding children, also come over often, and the Hong family can be said to be very lively during this period of time, and she is also very fortunate to have made so many sincere friends in another world, and her mood has slowly adjusted.
The island in the middle of the lake is her home, this otherworldly home is a world where the strong are the strong, and everything she pays is worth it to maintain the happiness and safety of her family.
Therefore, the regret for the loss of life slowly faded, until the forgetting of the Anta oil paint person, her little face also reappeared the smile of the past, and the string master who had been taking care of the rainbow was also relieved, and Xiao Nizi finally wanted to open it.
In order to arouse the motivation of the clansmen, Yinshi specially announced that all the clansmen with merit could live in a two-story small building, such as the Qingmang family, who could make a carriage, and the leaders of several squads were the first to live in a small building with a courtyard. Only Da Meng, who is single, still lives with ordinary people, but he also lives in two spacious houses, which are much better than collective dormitories.
The tribesmen cultivated too much wasteland outside their territory in the spring, and the autumn harvest was busy for nearly twenty days before it was over. After the autumn harvest, the women comrades began a new round of looting of all kinds of ripe fruits in the jungle.
Red apples bigger than pears, citrus with a crunchy persimmon flavor, coconut fruits that look exactly like tomatoes, and Chaotian peppers that still have a spicy flavor.
Anyway, all kinds of flavors, all kinds of food, have been scraped into the territory. What can be done is done, and what is half bad is made into fruit wine, and there is no waste anyway.
The tribesmen cleaned up the fruits of the jungle, and came up with the idea of dried vegetables, not only cleaning the mushrooms and fungus of the jungle, but also picking the last green wild vegetables back to the territory, boiling them in water, drying them in the sun, and then stir-frying them with the meat after the snow fell, which was still delicious.
When the tribesmen were busy with these, Yin Yu, who had been out for more than a month to collect salt, also hurried back, and this time they brought back not only the salt baskets of fifty elephants, the salt of more than fifty carts, the salt of fifty oxen, and the fine salt grains of horses carrying nearly a hundred animal skin bags.
Not only did they get back the salt that had been consumed in two snow seasons, but they also brought back a hundred horses and fifty oxen, which were only the harvest of a hundred warriors who came out of the hole!
After the abundant supplies were brought back, the women began to boil salt again, fortunately, the tribesmen of these living mountains and forests continent are working, and there is a place in the territory where Liam and a group of women boil salt and boil every day, like a fairyland on earth.
The women were busy, the men were not idle, and with the fine salt and the knives they had brought back, the warriors of the hunting party began to slaughter in the jungle around the island in the middle of the lake again, and the meat brought back every day could not be eaten for three days.
Therefore, when the women were busy boiling salt, they began to pickle the flesh of all kinds of beasts, and to tan the skins of all kinds of wild beasts, and to clean the internal organs of all kinds of animals, and to fill them with sausages and blood sausages.
When doing these jobs, none of the clansmen shouted that they were dirty and tired, but felt extremely happy, looking at the newly made animal skins that could keep warm, these are animal skin clothes that resist the cold in the snow season. Looking at the strings of animal offal and blood clots, there are bowls of food in their eyes that can save them from hunger.
While the adults were busy, the half-grown children in the territory did not want to be idle, so they picked up homemade harpoons and fishing nets, and let the warriors of the patrol accompany them to catch fish in the round water river.
The warriors of the hunting team know that the children also want to contribute to the territory, and they are all up to them, and they know from an early age that they share the hardships of the adults, this quality is commendable, where can the adults stop it?
Not to mention, these little cubs are really not a joke, they can catch a dozen baskets of fish from the river every day, let the parents marinate them into salted fish that can be stored, and the warriors of the patrol can protect the cubs while hunting some lone prey by the river, tidying up the traps, killing two birds with one stone.
All the storage work was done, and the land outside the territory where the autumn crops had been harvested was turned over with bone shovels, sprinkled with pre-fermented natural fertilizer, and once again sown with winter wheat.
After the autumn harvest and sowing, most of the warriors in the territory were idle, and most of the warriors wanted to follow the hunting team to hunt, but the weapons of the hunting team were limited, and the hunting team of 500 people only had more than 300 weapons, including more than 100 three-headed forks collected from the Anta clan.
The warriors were often hunters in the jungle, picking up the wooden spears, stone spears and stone knives used to hunt in the past, and were still willing to rush into the jungle.
Seeing that the warriors were so motivated, Silverstone and Rainbow made another battle plan, the hunting team with weapons rode away from the island in the middle of the lake to hunt, and the remaining large number of warriors hunted nearby.
Hong's battle plan is very simple, with a homemade bow and arrow and fishing nets, after seeing a group of prey, first use fishing nets to start hunting, snipe a large number of beasts, and then use bows and arrows to attack remotely, which not only ensures the safety of the warriors' lives, but also increases the success rate of harvesting prey.
Looking at the prey that was transported into the island in the middle of the lake at night, this battle plan was obviously very successful, and the result stimulated the blood of the men even more, and the warriors in the territory were willing to go out hunting, or Silverstone gave them a harsh lecture, telling them that it was equally important to protect the territory and obtain the prey, which made them settle down.
However, even if some people are left to guard the safety of the territory, there are five or six thousand men who go out to hunt, and you want so many people to go hunting together, think about what kind of concept this is?
As a result, all the men went out to hunt, and the women stayed in the territory to handle food, and the more warriors went out to hunt every day, the more prey they brought back was nearly ten times as much as they usually get.
The hunting was done by the warriors, so the women of the territory began to marinate a large number of animal meats, bacon, sausages, and sausages, and under Yuri's teaching, they had everything they could eat.
The more prey in the territory, the more animal skins they get, not to mention wolf skins, roe deer skins and deer skins. What kind of leopard with patterns, white long-haired tiger skin, and even majestic lion skin, hanging all over the open space of the territory, it seems that the animal skins of this snow season are piled up into mountains, and the faces of the tribesmen are rippling with a spring breeze-like smile, and there is no need to starve this snow season.
When the hunting party went out, they either rode horses or oxen pulled carts, and there were now nearly two hundred horses in the territory, but this was not enough for even half of the hunting team of more than five hundred people, let alone those ordinary warriors.
This is true of the warriors of the hunting party, not to mention the other warriors in the realm, men are naturally yearning for force, let alone horses that are like tigers, and the men of the realm now have more eyes on horses than when they see women.
So much so that when the warriors saw that the prey in the territory was about the same, they all found Da Meng, the old steward, and said that they wanted to go to the salt lake again, for the purpose of collecting salt, and also to bring back some horses.
Da Meng didn't respond at the time, but just said that he would report back to the lord or captain, and he would have to wait until he came back to inform the warriors.
In the evening, Da Meng first found Yinshi, and then came to Yinyu's yard with Yinshi Yinshi, Yinshi told Yinyu what Da Meng said, and Yinyu also fell into deep thought.
It will take fifty days and nights to go to Salt Lake, he has not made love with his wife for a few days after he came back, and he really doesn't want to go out again, Silverstone said a few days ago that he is going to develop the copper mine of the Anta tribe and add new weapons to the warriors, so there is one less person to lead the team to Salt Lake.
Yin Yu thought for a long time and said, "Forget it!" The salt brought back this time is enough for two snow seasons, and Brother Dashi and I have things to do. The salt mining journey is long, there are many dangers along the way, and there is no one to lead the team out. ”
Da Meng actually thought that the two leaders just didn't want to leave their women, so he lowered his head and smiled: "Lord, captain, and the warriors of the territory all want a horse, and we will travel much faster after there are more horses, so it is better for me to lead the team out this time." ”
Yinshi said uneasily: "Brother Da Meng, the danger on the road is not small, and besides, the snow season is coming soon, and the danger on the road is more than doubled, have you thought clearly?" ”
"Don't worry! Captain, I don't want to die yet, there are still people in the territory that I care about. Da Meng lowered his eyelids and said.
Silverstone took the lead in agreeing and said: "Okay, you can choose the weapons in the territory, and the warriors will also choose as you choose, okay but you must come back safely, and when you come back, I will let you get what you want." ”
Da Meng's spirit said for a while: "Thank you, captain, I'll go back and prepare today, and I'll set off tomorrow at a glance." ”
