Chapter 177: Very Thoughtful
Zhu Yuanyuan's heart was full of troughs, Uncle Yuan actually wanted to pull everyone in the medicine team to eat soybeans together and form an alliance, so that there would be no worries about someone telling him.
They are all people who have moved their mouths, who is cleaner than whom?
She wanted to laugh, but she felt that it was somewhat disrespectful to laugh at this time, so she couldn't help but laugh and praise, "Yes, Uncle Yuan, you have a lot of ideas."
"That's, you don't look at who I am," Rabbit replied arrogantly.
The two laughed a few words and then put away the soybeans, and their hands were not slow, and they quickly filled the bamboo baskets they were carrying.
Rabbit Yuan exhaled lightly, "We'll go back after resting, our eyes are going to be spent."
Soybeans are too ripe, it is not good to cut the whole plant and then pick the pods, so you can only pick them one by one, and then cut off the plants close to the ground and throw them aside after picking.
However, the distance between the plants is too close, and the branches and leaves are intertwined, which can easily implicate others and shake off a lot of beans.
It's so hard!
"It's not okay to harvest like this, it's time-consuming, laborious and eye-catching," Zhu Yuanyuan frowned, "Why don't you just cut it directly, pat all the soybeans on the ground, clean up the branches and leaves, sweep the soybeans in a pile and put them away."
"It's not easy to go anywhere," Rabbit Yuan sighed, "Isn't there an easier way to harvest it?"
Zhu Yuanyuan shook his head and replied very simply, "I didn't, if you have, just say it."
Rabbit Yuan is embarrassed, if he has a way, he still needs to ask?
Since there is no better way to harvest, it can only be used in a stupid way, fortunately, it has not rained for a long time, the ground is dry, and it is still easy to pick up soybeans on the ground after cleaning up the dead branches and leaves.
At least you don't need to be as careful as you did when picking from soybean plants, and you don't even dare to come out of the atmosphere.
After experiencing it firsthand, Rabbit Yuan agreed with the improved harvesting method, but the question came again, "We didn't bring many bamboo baskets, what should we use when we run out?"
No matter how rich the medicinal materials are, the bamboo basket brought by the herb picking team is enough, and if it is really not good, it can be made with vines, but soybeans are not good, a small grain, and it will leak light in a crude rattan frame.
The finer rattan frame is not absent, but the vines required for weaving should not be too thick or too thin, and the frame made of too thick has a large gap, and it is easy to break if it is too fine.
It is precisely because of this that everyone prefers to use bamboo baskets.
"It's also inconvenient to load a practical bamboo basket," Zhu Yuanyuan turned his face and looked at the bamboo basket on his back, it was too full, and a few would come out after a few steps.
Bending down to pick it up will fall out more, and if you don't pick it up, you feel a pity, and finally you can only sigh, "If only there was a burlap bag."
"What are you talking about?" Rabbit Yuan frowned, "The cloth is so precious, how can it be used to make bags for things, and the animal skin bag is almost the same."
Every family in the tribe has a lot of animal skins, and it is not distressing to sew them into pockets to hold things, but now they can bring back a lot when they go back to the chief.
Rabbit Yuan said his thoughts, and Zhu Yuanyuan immediately nodded in agreement, "The animal skin bag is really good, you can also call some people to collect soybeans, don't forget that we ran so far to collect medicine."
Harvesting soybeans is not too heavy work, whether it is a collection team or a planting team, but the work of the herb picking team is not something that anyone can do.
Rabbit Yuan, who also thought of this, raised his hand in support, "Okay, then I'll ...... now No, you go back to the chief, I'll wait for you at the meeting point, it's not safe for you to stay alone in the woods."
Zhu Yuan's black line, "Is it safe for me to go back alone?" It's getting dark!"
It was not wrong for them to go out early, but it took an hour or two to run far, and it would only take more time to go back.
In late autumn, the days are short and the nights are long, in order to save time, they eat dried meat directly for lunch, and then pick herbs and soybeans, and in the blink of an eye, an afternoon has passed, seeing that the night is about to fall, rowing back to the tribe alone is terrifying.
Rabbit Yuan smiled awkwardly, "It's me who is too anxious."
The two discussed going back to the meeting point first, picking up some firewood and hunting small animals, which was also agreed in advance, coming back first to collect firewood and hunt, and make some preparations, if you wait for all
When people come back to cook, they don't know what time they have to toss before they can rest.
They are all accustomed to work, and they pick up a lot of dry firewood after working for more than half an hour, and pile it into a small hill, which is enough for the night.
It's just that there are not many prey hit, seven or eight rabbits and a dozen pheasants, which can't fill the stomachs of hundreds of people, which can make Rabbit Yuan sad.
"Don't worry," Zhu Yuanyuan comforted, "Everyone has to eat, where can you count on the two of us, you wait and see, someone will definitely bring the prey back."
Their combat effectiveness is at the middle and lower level of the team, and even if they don't catch many prey, everyone won't care.
As Zhu Yuanyuan said, the teammates came back one after another, in addition to carrying the collected herbs, their hands were not empty, more or less with some prey, and they praised when they saw the firewood, "Yes, there is no need to collect firewood."
There were also sharp-eyed people who saw two baskets full of soybeans next to them, so they asked curiously, "What is this, is this a new medicinal herb?"
Zhu Yuanyuan has a black line, "Of course not!"
The rabbit yuan immediately came to the spirit, "This is soybean ......"
After Balabala explained, everyone's eyes burned a little, and they grabbed it and stuffed it into their mouths in a hurry.
"How's it going," the uneaten man looked expectantly, "Is it delicious?"
The person who tasted it sighed for a long time before saying, "It's a little crispy, well, it tastes weird......
Zhu Yuanyuan said coolly, "There is no oil and no salt, how delicious do you want to eat raw?"
"Then cook something cooked and taste," Rabbit Yuan suggested, "a squeak of agreement."
Everyone opened their mouths in support, "Yes, how can you know if the new food is delicious if you don't taste it."
The eagerness is quite speechless.
In this situation, Zhu Yuanyuan couldn't say anything against it, or she didn't want to say it, for fear of ruining everyone's interest.
Anyway, there are a lot of soybeans, and you don't need to keep all of them, so it's nothing to eat.
So Rabbit Yuan waved his hand and asked people to carry a bamboo basket of soybeans to clean, and he took people to the place where the boat was hidden to move the stone pot.
Considering that the weather was cold and uncomfortable to stay outside for a few days without hot water, some single orcs who lived alone brought out the pot as well, and it didn't take much effort to transport it by wooden boat anyway.
Zhu Yuanyuan had already dug a pit on the spot and made a simple stove to come out, and Rabbit Yuan directly placed the stone pot when he saw this, and couldn't help but sigh while adjusting, "This pot is really heavy, if only the clay pot was more durable."
The stone pot is durable, but it is thick and slow to conduct heat, and the weight is also considerable, it is really inconvenient to take it out, but the clay pot is light and easy to use, but it is too fragile, and it will be damaged if you don't pay attention to it.
"Indeed," Zhu Yuanyuan nodded in agreement, "If only I could make a pot that takes into account the advantages of both."
Rabbit Yuan smiled bitterly, "How can there be such a good thing."
"Not necessarily," Zhu Yuanyuan said seriously, "The world is so big, there must be many good things that we don't know about, or haven't been discovered yet."
The melon-eating crowd who listened with their ears pricked up praised in unison, "Yuanyuan is so smart."
