Chapter 511: Summer is coming
"You can grow it, we can grow some drought-tolerant crops, but we can't grow rice like that." Fox Jiaojiao explained.
Most of the seeds in the space are new varieties that have been improved.
The harvest time is faster than that of ordinary crops, and even the taste is better.
For example, drought-tolerant crops will also improve the drought tolerance of crops.
As long as there is no water at all, there should be no problem.
After listening to Hu Jiaojiao's words, the patriarch was relieved.
"Okay, then I'll listen to you."
Summer is just around the corner, and it's time to start planting new crops.
To say not to panic is false.
"Jiaojiao, what are we going to plant in the summer?" The patriarch asked.
"Wheat, cotton, corn and barley, these are drought-tolerant crops." After Fox Jiaojiao finished speaking, she explained to the patriarch the appearance and purpose of these crops one by one.
Originally, sugar beets were also drought tolerant, but they were planted in the spring.
Beets can't be eaten as a staple food, and it's not much use to plant too much, so Hu Jiaojiao doesn't plan to plant them in the summer.
Wheat can be eaten as a staple food, and cotton can be used for heating in winter, and it can be made into clothes and worn in animal skins, which is warmer.
Corn is easy to preserve, and barley is the main food crop in Tibet, so it is perfect for growing in the orc world.
Hearing that there were so many more kinds of crops to grow was an eye-opener for the patriarch.
"Where are we going to find ...... like that?"
"I have the seeds, just let the orcs go to me and move them in a while."
Fox Jiaojiao can now "cheat" openly.
Without even thinking of excuses, the patriarch would not have doubted the origin of these things at all.
Anyway, everything is blamed on the beast god, and the orcs of the tribe have even regarded Hu Jiaojiao as a beast god.
Being able to conjure so many things out of thin air, transform the tribe into what it is now, so many contributions, in the eyes of the orcs, she is even hotter and respectable than the orcs who have never seen before.
When he heard that there was no need to worry about the seeds, the patriarch was overjoyed.
Hurriedly called a few orcs and went to carry seeds with Fox Jiaojiao.
Just before going out, Fox Jiaojiao had already taken out all the seeds and stacked them in the yard.
The cubs and Long Mo haven't returned yet.
Fox Jiaojiao directly asked them to move the seeds.
Now the orcs of the tribe can already recognize simple Chinese characters, and after Hu Jiaojiao told the patriarch about the planting methods and precautions, she gave him a paper planting instructions to exercise the orcs' ability to read and write.
In this way, if the same crops are planted in the future, even if the orcs can't remember clearly, they can write directly through the instructions.
Even if the fox is not there, it will not have any effect.
Fox Jiaojiao does not seek to progress in civilization overnight, she only hopes that when she is no longer there in a hundred years, the tribe can continue to develop.
At that time, the cubs will not have to go back to their original life again.
The next few days.
There was no noticeable change in the weather.
In addition to going to the school to teach, Fox Jiaojiao spent the rest of her time studying with the females how to make sugar from sugar beets.
Now that the cloth in the tribe is not so scarce, the speed of production can barely keep up with the speed of use, and the females have half a day to spare.
They are happy to make candy with Fox Jiaojiao.
Females have a natural sweet tooth.
They also like to eat fruits because most of them are sweet.
Fox Jiaojiao also had no experience in sugar making, and failed several times at first, before slowly groping her way out, and finally succeeded in boiling.
It's just that what they boil out is sugar cubes, not processed white sugar.
Although it doesn't look that good, it's already a rare delicacy in the eyes of orcs.
A few days passed.
Just when Fox Jiaojiao thought that this year's summer was going to be late, early this morning, Fox Jiaojiao was woken up by the heat.
When she woke up, she was sweating.
The animal skin clothes on his body and the bedding on the bed were soaked.
Fox Jiaojiao opened her eyes and felt as if she was in a steamer.
I don't know, I thought she was in the steam room now.
She raised her hand and wiped her face, no surprise, her palms were wet and full of sweat.
"Is this summer coming, it's too sudden......"
Fox Jiaojiao sat up from the bed with a self-muttering voice, and realized that Long Mo was not in the room.
Looking at the sky outside the window, it should still be morning, and the sun has just come out.
It's really summer!
Just as he was puzzled, Long Mo walked in from outside the door.
He still has a basin of water in his hand.
This scene is so familiar that Hu Jiaojiao couldn't be more familiar, in the past, Long Mo came in with hot water every day in winter to wipe his face and wash him, but I didn't expect that now it's summer, it's still like this.
"Jiaojiao, you're awake, I just fetched water from the well, it's cold water, you wipe your face."
Fox Jiaojiao got up and got out of bed and looked at Long Mo.
Seeing that he was still wearing a beast skin skirt, his upper body was naked, and there were fine beads of sweat on his body, he knew that he had just gotten up.
"Why didn't you call me when you woke up." Fox Jiaojiao said angrily, took out the linen clothes that had been made long ago from the closet and handed them to Long Mo.
"Go and wash your body, change into this, it's too hot in animal skins."
Although it has long been known that the climate of the orc world is harsh, winter and summer are especially prominent.
But Fox Jiaojiao didn't expect that it would be like this on the first day of summer.
If this continues, I don't know how to survive the next six months.
Thinking of this, Fox Jiaojiao couldn't help but miss the air conditioner.
It's a pity that even if she has space and everything in it, she can't use air conditioning here.
"Okay." Long Mo took the clothes and prepared to go to the backyard to rinse them off and change them again.
"By the way, are the cubs awake, you remember to remind them to change into new clothes." Fox Jiaojiao thought of the cubs and asked again.
"They're already up and they're all replaced." Long Mo had just come up from downstairs, and several cubs were already walking down in their new clothes.
Fox Jiaojiao was relieved.
Although the orcs had always come over like this before, she still wanted the cubs and Long Mo to be as comfortable as possible now.
After Long Mo went out, Fox Jiaojiao wet it with animal skins and wiped her face and body.
Then change into a long linen dress that was sewn before.
The long skirt is a loose style, which is light and fluttering on the body, and compared to the animal skin, the upper body is almost like nothing is worn.
Although Fox Jiaojiao has tried it before, it still feels different when she wears it in such a hot weather in summer.
Fortunately, she thought of this stubble in advance, otherwise she would have to wear thick animal skins at this time.
After changing her clothes, Fox Jiaojiao went downstairs with the animal skin and water basin she had just changed.
As soon as I came down, I saw Long Mo standing in the courtyard and already wearing new clothes.
The simple linen clothes set off his figure even more upright.
Muscles loom beneath the thin linen.
Fox Jiaojiao even regretted letting him wear new clothes, isn't this a crime!
