Six or seven days have passed in a flash, Yao Xiaoqing has planted those flower beans and peas, and Yaohu and they have not come back yet.

She began to worry and found Dashi, who was helping to work in the field, "Uncle Dashi, after the winter is over, how long will it take for you to go out hunting and return to the tribe?" ”

Dashi thought for a moment, "When there is a lot of prey, it will come back in three or two days. The prey is not easy to catch, and it will be delayed for eight or nine days. ”

"That's good. In the past, you went out for two or three days at most and then came back, but it's been six or seven days, and I'm a little worried. It seems that there is not much prey outside, otherwise it would not have been delayed for so long. ”

Oishi nodded, "I guess that's the case, it looks like it will take eight or nine days or more for them to come back." Don't worry, more than 20 warriors will go out hunting together, and it will be fine. ”

"Hmm!" Yao Xiaoqing took a look at the open land, "The millet seeds have been dried, you take Ah Lin Bo and them to open the land, and I will take Ah Eminem to open the ridges and sow the seeds." ”

"Okay, we're going to have to step up." Oishi laughed.

Yao Xiaoqing went back and saw that the yard in the front row of yards was full of seeds, and soybeans and millet seeds were the most.

She had heard from her teammates before that the yield of millet planted by his family was only four or five hundred catties per mu, and one acre of land was about two or three catties of seeds. They also need to be guarded to drive away the birds.

She had never seen millet planted in the field before, but she had only come to see it with her own eyes. Production is pitifully small.

She thinks that firstly, the people here do not know how to plant, and they do not know how to choose excellent seeds, and the other is that they are too densely sown this time, and the yield should be higher according to the method of later generations!

She mentally counted the seeds she had exchanged in Qiu Shan last year, plus the number of seeds that she had collected.

If one acre of land needs three catties of seeds, Yao Xiaoqing estimates that those millets can be planted with nearly 200 acres of land.

Beans can also be planted for about 200 acres, and there is also half a basket of wheat, which can be planted on one acre of land after selection, and the problem of seeds has been solved.

If the yield of millet and beans can be a quarter of that of later generations, and if you add taro, kudzu, yam, and beans together, you will not have to worry about running out of food.

After Yao Xiaoqing calculated, she was a little excited and thought, when she found the rice, this day would be even more enjoyable.

Hua looked at her standing there, pursed her lips and stole fun, walked over and slapped her gently, "Xiaoqing, what are you stealing fun?" Tell me about it! ”

Yao Xiaoqing looked at her with a smile, "I've calculated ...... here, work for two more years, save more grain, and we won't be afraid of natural disasters in the future." You say we should be happy! ”

"Really!" Hua looked at her in surprise, thinking about it and a little worried, "I'm worried that there will be no place to put the grain I harvested." ”

"Hahaha!" Yao Xiaoqing pointed at her and said, "Flower, why are you worried about this, I have a place to put more food." Hana's words also reminded her, thinking that when the farm was over, she would start burning bricks and oyster ash to repair the warehouse.

Hua slapped her in disgust: "Bad Xiaoqing, let you laugh at me, where have I seen so much grain." ”

Yao Xiaoqing looked at her with a smile, "The corn grains in the field are yellow, and the beans are full of pods, you will know that it has arrived." You and Eminem say to them, let's go open the box and make ridges. ”

Hana nodded, "Hey! We are waiting for you in the field. She watched Yao Xiaoqing walk briskly, looking at the bare ground, she couldn't imagine the scene of corn grains and pods all over the ground, shook her head, and went to find Shan Eminem.

Yao Xiaoqing went to find a few long ropes used to build a house, and asked Mu Na and them to watch the seeds. She and the women went to the field, pulled up the long rope, drew the size of a box, and began to open the box.

After opening a few boxes of land and digging a ditch, Yao Xiaoqing suddenly thought that he didn't expect to plant so much land, and the fertilizer stored would definitely not be enough.

She said to Taro, "Taro, the fat in the pit may not be enough, you can call a few people to go outside to the forest and dig up some putrefaction." ”

After hearing this, Ah Worm said: "Xiaoqing, there is a thick layer of humus outside the western wall, let's dig it there." ”

Yao Xiaoqing nodded, "Okay, try to dig some back, otherwise the fertilizer will not be enough." ”

"Good!" Ah Worm nodded in response, took a few people, and went back to pick up the basket with a wooden shovel.

More than a dozen people were busy all day, opening all the fields and starting to spread fertilizer the next day.

I thought that after spreading fertilizer, I had to use a plow and rake to plow again, and after sowing seeds, I had to cover the soil.

Yao Xiaoqing came up with a way, let Dashi and they dig a few wooden rakes with wood, tie stones to the wooden rake, and the wooden teeth go deep into the soil, turn the broken soil, and rake quickly and evenly.

And he sprinkled the wheat and millet into the ground, turned over the wooden rake, tied it with stones, and pulled the plough and rake and covered it with a layer of earth.

Five or six days have passed in a flash, and it has been more than ten days since Yaohu and them went out, and the people in the tribe have also begun to worry.

At dusk, Yao Xiaoqing climbed to the top of the last row of courtyards and looked into the forest to the north. Suddenly, I saw a group of people, carrying them on their backs towards the small gate at the foot of the mountain.

"I'm back, my father is back." Yao Xiaoqing shouted at the people working in the field, and ran downstairs and went straight to the small door.

When he opened the door, he saw the wooden wind like a flower-faced cat, Yao Xiaoqing smiled and squinted, "Brother, you're back!" ”

"Hmm!" Mu Feng was also happy, "How do you know we're back?" What are you busy with! All tanned. ”

Yao Xiaoqing pouted dissatisfiedly, "How can you get a tan, you are black!" It's almost time to catch up with charcoal. After speaking, he felt that his pouting action was a little childish, his old face turned red, and he ran to Yaohu, "Father, why have you been there for so long?" I'm tired! ”

She looked at everyone, and saw that everyone was tanned, with stubbed beards, chapped lips, dirty faces, knotted hair, and even sunken eye sockets, and it was estimated that everyone had lost at least a dozen pounds.

Yaohu looked at her happily, "I'm not tired, I just want to eat the food of the tribe, the food outside is really unpalatable!" ”

Mu Ba laughed on the side, "Xiaoqing, you have raised our mouths, and the barbecue is not fragrant to eat." ”

Yao Xiaoqing said with a smile: "There are delicious foods in the tribe, we pickled sour bamboo shoots and dried bamboo shoots. They have collected a lot of fish and shrimp this morning, and they will make something to eat for you when they go back. ”

Yaohu turned around and waved at the people behind him, "Okay, everyone, have a good meal tonight." ”

Shan squeezed up from behind and said with a smile: "Xiaoqing, we have captured a lot of prey this time, and the back basket is full of jerky. ”

At a glance, their backs were bent by the basket, and the wild things they were carrying on their shoulders. Yao Xiaoqing smiled and nodded, "The harvest is really good!" Next time you come back early, everyone is worried about you. ”
