At dinner, Rayong and others, who had trained for a day, were obviously good at eating, which was expected by Xia Qi.

Fortunately, the tribe now has enough food, and there will be a lot of surplus prey and catch every day, all of which are made into jerky for emergencies.

However, this is only temporary.

If one day, something happens that causes the number of fish in the jungle and the lake to decrease, it will undoubtedly be a big blow to the growing Xia tribe.

It's still the same sentence, if you don't farm, is the farming nation still a farming nation?

As a modern person, Xia Qi is clearly aware that he needs one or more high-yield crops.

Why is the scale of the tribe in this era not large, almost all of them are dozens of people in a tribe, or even a dozen?

Because their main source of food is hunting, if they catch less prey, it is not enough to say that so many people eat. In this day and age, the greater the number of tribal populations, the higher the risk.

Just like the cannibal tribe before it, why would they eat people? It's not that I'm forced to be helpless.

However, it is still the same sentence, no matter what the reason, as long as there is one person in this tribe who has eaten people, that Xia Qi will definitely not hesitate to wipe out this entire tribe.

People in this era have no experience and awareness of growing their own food, but Xia Qi has.

Therefore, a long time ago, when he specially asked bears to go out hunting, he paid attention to bringing back all the things he had not seen, for fear that they would not know him and ignore the real good things. Even, he later set up a special exploration team.

As for whether you can find it, it can only depend on luck.

However, Xia Qi himself is not a person who will wait for luck to come stupidly, before luck comes, he will do his best to prepare for everything he can.

He had already sorted out a more detailed development plan in his mind, and at the same time, he also found a piece of animal skin and planned the division of the entire Xia tribe around the area. He planned to plan in advance which piece of land would be vacated for the construction of a military camp, and which piece of land would be kept for crops.

"Oh, by the way, I remember that farming requires fertilizer. When the time comes, let people dig a few latrines, which can be used to accumulate fertilizer and maintain hygiene. Xia Qi muttered to himself.

At the same time, he suddenly remembered something.

It seems that in the Middle Ages in Europe, the city was completely inaccessible to people, and it was a large garbage dump, which was called a stinking sky.

Then the plague, cholera, the Black Death and so on took turns, and the number of people who died was called more than one.

Whether it was to avoid plagues in the tribe or to live comfortably, Xia Qi felt that it was imperative for the people of the tribe to develop good habits of hygiene.

Time passed day by day, and the Xia tribe developed in an orderly manner under the operation of Xia Qi.

One evening, Xia Qi, who was busy competing with the pulley set in his hand, looked at the things brought back by the deer, and his face couldn't help showing a trace of ecstasy.

The leaves are green, and they look large and fat, and the rhizome is about the size of Xia Qi's fist.

"This, this is taro!"

In his previous life, Xia Qi didn't like to eat taro very much, but now, his face is full of joy.

In this way, there are two crops in the tribe that can be used as vegetables.

One is the taro that the deer has just brought back, and the other is bamboo shoots.

After destroying that cannibal tribe, Xia Qi naturally wouldn't let go of the bamboo sea next to him.

There are many things that can be made from bamboo, not to mention edible things like bamboo shoots.

If it weren't for the fact that the number of people in the tribe was not large now, and it was easy to encounter danger, Xia Qidu planned to open a sub-base over there.

However, it is really far away from the tribe, and some roads are still rugged and difficult to walk, so Xia Qi specially sent people to find other ways to lead to the bamboo forest. In any case, bamboo is something that Xia Qi will never let go of no matter what.

"Deer, you've done a great job! Reward you with a deer leg! ”

Speaking of this, Xia Qi, who seemed to remember something again, hurriedly asked, "Are there many things like this around?" ”

"A lot, basically all over the place." The deer who had just been rewarded nodded excitedly.

"Tomorrow, the task of your reconnaissance team will be put on hold first, and I will transfer a team of people to you, and you will take them to dig up all those white radishes for me, remember, you must ...... the rhizomes below here."

While speaking, Xia Qi also took the white radish in his hand and gestured, after all, taro is a thing that eats rhizomes.

"Try to bring it back as completely as possible, if you can, it's best to bring back even the handful of soil below."

After speaking, Xia Qi was about to turn around and leave.

"Patriarch!"

Hearing someone call him, Xia Qi turned around, and it turned out to be Wu Yi.

Xia Qi asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"I also found something that I think will be of great help to the patriarch."

As he spoke, Wu Yi also took out a rhizome from his arms.

The epidermis of the rhizome is pale yellow, and Xia Qi is not calm when he sees this.

He took it to his nose and sniffed it, and finally even put a little bit of it in his mouth with his fingernails and tasted it. That spicy taste, Xia Qi will never admit it.

"It's ginger!"

Xia Qi asked Wu Yi, "Where did you find this thing, is it more?" ”

"I found taro...... There are quite a few near the area of taro. ”

"Okay, you reward a deer too! Your exploration team has done a great job this time, and each of you will be rewarded with another fish. ”

After thinking about it, Xia Qi said: "You guys carefully search the nearby area to see if there are any other plants that have not been found, no matter what you find, pick some back." ”

"Understood!"

The crops that were finally found can be said to have made the development of the Xia tribe gradually slow down and found a breakthrough all of a sudden, that night, Xia Qi, who had eaten dinner, couldn't sleep with excitement, and he kept thinking about planting in his mind.

This time, Xiaoguangren did not respond to Xia Qi. Come to think of it, after all, Xiaoguangren is not a nanny, and he solves problems for Xia Qi every day.

Xia Qi remembered that taro was planted in silt, which was not difficult, and there was a place not far from the camp, which was lower than other places, and there was often lake water backing up, so it was quite suitable to plant there.

As for ginger, Xia Qi didn't like to eat this thing, even if he bought it occasionally, he would throw it aside, and when he remembered it, it had already sprouted in the corner. You can find a special place to put it first, in case it sprouts on its own one day.

Early the next morning, as a crop that is crucial to the current Xia tribe, Xia Qi specially dispatched manpower to let the bear team that was training follow the exploration team, responsible for safety, and also help transport taro and ginger.

And Xia Qi, who stayed in the tribe and was ready to arrange the next development plan of the tribe, found that he couldn't calm down.

Although the Xia tribe has become the only large tribe in the vicinity, under normal circumstances, no one will dare to attack them, but what if there is a short-sighted one, or rather, it encounters a pack of wolves? The more he thought about it, the more he cared, and Xia Qi couldn't help but go crazy.

"No, I have to find something to do for myself, by the way, farm tools, make some farm tools! Draw the design first......"

At the same time, led by the deer, a group of people quickly shuttled through the jungle, and it took almost a morning to reach the area where the crops were found before noon.

Sure enough, the thick leaves of taro were everywhere as far as the eye could see.

The deer first made a demonstration and pulled the taro out of the soil along with the leaves and rhizomes, and the other warriors followed suit.

On the other side, Wu Yi took some people to collect ginger.

After almost two hours, the deer asked, "How's it going?" ”

"I feel pretty much it." Wu Yi replied.

The deer weighed his own tree and vine basket, "The weight is not light, and if you dig it any further, I'm afraid you won't be able to go back before dark." ”

"Then withdraw!" Wu Yi made a decision immediately and chose to be temporary.

Although he knew that his patriarch attached great importance to these things called "taro" and "ginger", Wu Yi knew better that even without these things, there was still no shortage of food in the tribe.

Under this premise, the safety of the tribal population and labor force is obviously above these crops, and it is not a big problem to dig a few taro or anything, but if something happens and one or two people die, the loss will be great.

With the importance that the patriarch attaches to the tribesmen, I am afraid that he will feel distressed for a while.
