Chapter 41: The Pony Crosses the River

After saying hello to them, Zhong Xuyao came to their newly built breeding ground under the leadership of Yi Xiu.

The breeding ground is located in the lower reaches of the river, where the terrain is relatively flat, and has been washed and baptized by the river for many years. There is also a lot of yellow sand.

At the foot of a mountain, a square field was built for ducks and geese.

Zhong Xuyao counted the situation in the venue a little, and in just half a day, they actually caught nearly fifty ducks and forty geese. In the corner on the side, Zhong Xuyao also saw more than 30 hens.

Such a speed can be said to be completely beyond Zhong Xuyao's estimate, she thought that a dozen of them would be good in half a day.

However, the situation in the venue is not optimistic, and these poultry are grouped together according to the species, as if they are ready to fight at any time.

Fortunately, the site is relatively large, and there is no competition for the site for the time being.

"Yixiu, is your kind of cave easy to dig?" Zhong Xuyao said with some curiosity.

"It's fine. Generally, it takes about half a month to dig well. "Ixiu

"It's going to take so long." Zhong Xuyao was surprised.

"That's the fastest. Do you have any plans? "Ixiu

"I was going to dig a cave here, so that at night, I could drive these into the cave." Zhong Xuyao

"Okay, I'll arrange this. If it's just simple, a week will do. Ixiu laughed.

"I remember, you split stones, didn't you split paper?" Zhong Xuyao couldn't help but ask.

In her eyes, it should be easy to cut a stone as smooth as a mirror, and dig a hole.

"It's hard to take out the soil." Ishi

Zhong Xuyao casually pulled out his sapper shovel, "Make a shovel of this kind, and you can dig the soil quickly." If the wood is too thin, you can make it out of stone. ”

Ixiu's eyes flashed, "Okay." ”

Zhong Xuyao's application of tools can subvert his cognition every time. With just a simple thread, you can make shoes. Bring back bamboo, everything is simple, you can make all kinds of props for holding water. Now, there are more ways to fill the soil. Only now, he finally believed that even if there were only females, they could survive. Just this ability to turn decay into magic. It's enough for them to survive.

After visiting the situation here, Yi Xiu took Zhong Xuyao to the river.

The terrain downstream is relatively gentle, and as long as you pay a little attention, it is still more suitable for free-range poultry.

It's just that the banks of the river on both sides are open, and if you want to really breed, you need someone to watch, and with the technology of the orcs, I'm afraid that you will be in a hurry. If you add two guardrails to both sides of the river, it doesn't seem to work.

Today's ducks have not been trained, and they are afraid that they do not have the ability to recognize their homes. Some rubbed the corners of his forehead with a headache. It seems that she has thought things simple.

"Xiaoxiao, what's wrong?" Seeing her distressed look, Yi Xiu said a little strangely.

"How are these ducks raised?" Zhong Xuyao pointed to the river, "Even if they don't have wings, they will run." Do you catch ducks? ”

"These ducks are relatively timid, and where we are, we generally don't go over." Ishi

"Is that so? In this case, you can try. "Zhong Xuyao

It's just that in this way, the orcs have to arrange personnel to guard it all the time. Later, when the duck gets used to this behavior, it may go home on its own.

"Tiny, thank you for everything you've done for the tribe." Yi Xiu said sincerely.

Zhong Xuyao scratched his head embarrassedly, "Actually, I'm also for myself, you talk about winter so scary, I have to prepare something." You're right. ”

It's not that she's hypocritical, but she really thinks so. From what Bernie described, every winter, people died, starved to death, froze to death, all sorts of things. Because of this, winter has become a demon in their eyes.

Zhong Xuyao didn't think she was stronger than them, and if even the powerful orcs couldn't withstand that terrible weather, she herself would have no confidence.

The fear of winter in the tribe has also been transmitted to her, and everything she is doing now can be said to be preparing for winter.

Yi Xiu couldn't help but think of Wu Lao's words at the beginning, the small body was weaker than any female, so he had to be extra careful. Judging by her performance, it is clear that she herself knows it very well.

Zhong Xuyao sat down on a rock casually, "Yixiu, can you tell me about the winter here, I don't dare to ask Bernie again." Every time, she looked like she was about to cry. ”

"Okay." Yi Xiu nodded and sat down beside Zhong Xuyao: "What do you want to know?" ”

Zhong Xuyao hesitated for a moment, "How cold is it, and how long will it snow?" ”

"It's usually about two months to three months. Of course, not every day. When it snows, the snow doesn't melt because it's cold, so it keeps piling up. The animals in the forest will also hide. Even we are not easy to find. ”

"Can't you save more than these few months?" Zhong Xuyao

Maybe it's because she's been in the 21st century for a long time, and she really can't imagine that there is no such thing as food.

"Even in winter, meat is hard to preserve. As for fruits, it is more difficult, and many of them are not available at the beginning of winter. "Ixiu

Zhong Xuyao has more question marks. If she remembers correctly, no matter how poor she was when she was a child, when she was a child, there were some fish and meat, and they were still the kind that could be stored for a long time: "How do you keep your meat?" ”

"Just cut it and put it in the corner." Ishi

Zhong Xuyao's mouth twitched, "Forget it, when I didn't ask." Now, she understands a little that the co-authors are not because they don't have enough resources, but because they are not very good at using them, and according to their conservation methods, they are afraid that no amount of food will be enough.

"By the way, don't you have a lot of hides? Why do people still freeze to death? Zhong Xuyao said strangely.

If she remembered correctly, the hides were very windproof. Hides and furs are considered luxuries.

"If there were no hides, more would have froze to death." Ishu was honest.

Zhong Xuyao felt that the sky was thundering, could it be that they still wore leaves in winter?

Until this time, Zhong Xuyao finally understood, from their mouths, he was afraid that he would not be able to ask for any useful information. Just like a pony crossing a river, she has to experience it for herself to know.

Judging from the snow that can fall for three months, I am afraid that winter will not be easy. What she has to do now is to increase her chips for the winter. After all, she couldn't hide on the farm all winter without coming out.

Zhong Xuyao touched his chin and thought about what was next. In order to have food in winter, it is necessary to store a certain amount of meat, but for her, food is also needed for vegetables and fruits. Her stomach has adapted to this meat + grain + vegetable model. If she was really asked to eat meat and eggs for a winter, she probably wouldn't be able to bear it.
