Speaking of hemp, she thought of the planting team, and she immediately went to the planting area in the back.

The soybeans have been planted, and dwarf seedlings have grown, like a fluffy green carpet on the ground, and all kinds of wild vegetables are growing well.

Lu Qing was very satisfied, and then immediately summoned all the captains to a meeting, of course, including people from the Gaoshan tribe such as Damai.

At the meeting, Lu gently introduced the barley again solemnly, and then talked about the importance of wheat.

"At this time, it is probably a little late to plant wheat, but it is still necessary to plant, the Gaoshan tribe is divided into fifty people to worry about this matter, barley leads the team, run, your planting team assists from the side, fertilizer, tools and the like must follow, I will go with me in a while, draw a good plot of land outside the city, rest for a day today, and start preparing the land tomorrow. ”

Lu said lightly that this was discussed with Damai on the way, and the fifty people selected were all people who had participated in wheat planting.

"Then there is hemp, the three-cart grass I brought back is called flax, which can be used to make clothes to wear, and the specific method will be said later, now the flax is not completely mature, and it has to be replanted, and the wheat field will be drawn and a hemp field will be divided, the planting team is too busy, and the patrol team will give me help to plant flax as soon as possible. ”

After saying these two important things, the others didn't have anything particularly important to reciprocate, Lu waved his hand lightly, and a group of people went out to row the land.

For the convenience of water, both plots of land are not far from the artificial lake, and the wheat field will be talked about tomorrow, but the hemp field will start today.

Lu Qingqing used to read books and study on her own, and she was very interested in several kinds of hemp, because she thought that the plants made into clothes were particularly magical, and she knew that flax had relatively high requirements for soil, and required rich humus, so she asked people to dig up black humus; But clay is not suitable for flax, and it will not grow well, so I don't dare to leave the soil that is too sticky.

A piece of land that was completely reclaimed by Lu Qingqing, not to mention, the ingredients were almost changed.

As for fertilizer, flax has requirements for nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, but there is no fertilizer here, so apply more farm fertilizer, dilute the good human and animal manure and urinate and bury it in the ground, and plant flax on it.

Three carts of flax, although the road to take care of everything, but after more than forty days, many of them died completely, Lu gently picked out those that were still alive, carefully planted in the ground, each of which she treated like a fragile baby to the life force to consolidate.

There are still some who are still alive, but they are too old, the stems have been completely lignified, and the seeds are ripe, so Lu gently collected the seeds and stacked the whole flax plant together.

As for the dead, there can be half a car in the pile, which will make Lu feel distressed.

These can't be wasted, in fact, the flax after flowering has stopped growing, but it is not yet fully ripe.

The rate of hemp is low for both old and too young, so Lu gently separates the old and the young from the young, and then screens and classifies the thickness and color.

The first step in the processing of flax is to select the stem, because the thickness, color, and length all have an impact on the flax, so it must be distinguished.

After separating, the shape is tied into a small hand, and the degree of being able to hold it with one hand is a handful, and after tying it tightly, it is necessary to start to soak the hemp.

Lu gently recalled what he had seen, flax is also called degumming, in order to decompose non-cellulose things such as pectin and hemicellulose on flax to get relatively pure flax fiber, like the white salt tribe directly smashes the epidermis with stones, and smashing flax soft naturally has a certain effect, but it is too rough and violent, and the damage to flax fiber is too great, and it affects the processing of the next step.

She's going to do the production line, of course she can't do that.

She recalls the method of making hemp, in which only the biological method is applicable in the present.

The biological method is further divided into the rain and dew method and the water method.

As the name suggests, the rain and dew method is to lay the flax on the open space, and use the natural conditions such as rain and dew to make the flax, but there is not much rain on the triangular plateau, so this method is naturally not possible.

The cold water method is simple, that is, put the flax in the pond or lake, soak it for more than ten or twenty days, or soak it for a period of time, take it out to dry, and then continue to soak it.

This method is simple, but Lu gently chose the warm water method.

She had people dig a pool more than one meter square, fill it with water, put bundles of flax vertically in it, completely submerge it with water, and then put hot stones into it to warm it.

The optimal temperature of the warm water method, if she remembers correctly, is in the thirties of more than 30 degrees, which is the most suitable temperature for the growth of decomposing bacteria, so someone must always pay attention to the side, and the water temperature is too high and too low.

But this method only needs to be soaked for two to three days.

Lu Qingqing remembered that she still needed to change the water during the process of dipping hemp, as if she was adjusting the pH by changing the water, but she really forgot the specific content of the water change system, so she had to give up.

When the flax was soaked, it was already dark, and Lu gently said goodbye to the flax pond reluctantly, there was a welcome party tonight, welcoming the mountain tribe.

When Lu Qing came back with the mountain tribe, he brought a lot of prey, all of which were fresh prey caught on the way, and Qinglu City basically lived by hunting for the past two months, so the staple food at night was all kinds of meat.

What to look forward to is the presence of beef.

The yaks that have been domesticated by the beast tamers for more than two months have regained their strength, and the smell has faded very little, Lu gently ordered to slaughter two heads, make all kinds of bone broth broth, and the part suitable for barbecue is cut thinly, coated with sour jam juice, and even fruit wine, roasted until both sides are oiled, and then one piece per person, which is much more delicious than the meat of the prey, fresh and tender.

Meat alone is not enough, and all kinds of wild vegetables should be served on the table to be blended.

Wild vegetable soup, wild vegetable dumplings, cold wild vegetables, as well as wild vegetable scrambled eggs, stir-fried meat, and the like.

The most popular dish is still the mustard tofu soup, but since then, the only remaining soybeans that have not been planted have been ground and there has been no tofu for a while.

This night, everyone ate happily around the bonfire, and Lu Qingqing had to introduce people on both sides to each other, and then said something to urge the old people to bring the new people, quickly adapt to the environment, integrate into the collective, and be united and friendly.

After it was over, Lu Qingqing's throat hurt.

"Chief, there are four hundred and seventy-six people in the Gaoshan tribe, except for fifty wheat growers, how do you arrange for the rest? "Feng dutifully came to Lu Qingqing after the end of the scene.

Lu waved his hand gently, "Let's talk about this tomorrow, I have other things." ”

The wind was stunned.

"I have to go to Chongming Bird, I have to say hello when I come back, and the honey has been available for the past two months, right?"

"Yes, I deliver it every day. "The wind didn't worry about others, so he went by himself.

Lu nodded lightly: "Nothing special happened, right?"
