Chapter Eighty-Four: Eat Enough Meat, Eggs, and Milk, and Strengthen the Tribesmen!
In the temple, the second-generation prophet Hemila reacted the fastest.
"Soybeans, the gods have sent a gift!"
An exclamation point jumped above her head: "The gods have given us new guidance. β
"Praise be to you, great and wise Yaoshen."
She knelt before the idol, as religiously as ever.
Outside the temple, the pixel villains reacted differently.
"Soybeans, soybeans...... Soybeans are eaten. β
"Grow soybeans, the world needs soybeans."
"The gods love soybeans! Soybeans must be delicious, just like wheat and potatoes. β
"Round soybeans, jewel-like soybeans, mysterious soybeans."
The garlic tribe has been blessed many times and is highly receptive to various divine gifts, and they immediately planted soybeans in the land.
Soon, green soybean seedlings grew in the fields. After a while, these soybean seedlings are tall and full.
Time passes quickly in the pixel world, and farmers begin to harvest soybeans batch by batch.
As Lu Yao expected, the villains were the first to use soybeans as direct food.
As spring turns to autumn, as there are more and more soybean fields, the soybeans harvested by the garlic tribe have also become abundant. A large amount of soybeans are dried by the villain and stored in the barn along with the wheat for emergencies.
Lu Yao also ate braised edamame at this time and enjoyed with the people.
When he chose soybeans, the first consideration was to enhance the physique of the little people.
There are no constitution attributes in the pixel world, but the lower dimensional world is still a complete world. Just because the emulator simplifies it to a pixel interface doesn't mean it's so rudimentary.
Isabel and the Blood Knight will only reveal their full true bodies when they enter the real world, and this is a proof of this.
Therefore, Lu Yao used the real world as a template to find soybeans.
Eat enough meat, eggs and milk, and be strong tribesmen!
The garlic tribe now has sheep, pacing birds, domestic pigs and fish, which seem to be relatively abundant, but in fact the meat production is very small, far from meeting the per capita demand.
The pixel people are still in the tribal stage, and animal husbandry is relatively backward. Whether it is sheep, pigs or pacing birds, they are mainly free-range, and the breeding cycle is very long. Fishing vessels are limited to the number of people and boats, and the amount of fish caught is quite limited.
Meat can only be said to have a certain reserve, but the price remains high.
Lu Yao noticed that many villains set up stalls on the street and bargained with merchants, mainly because they bought meat.
Meat is still an expensive luxury for most tribal villains. At best, many villains buy salted fish with salt, and cannot afford to consume fresh meat at all, and mainly eat wheat and potatoes.
This scene made Lu Yao's heart ache.
Dude can't afford meat, but I'm going to make it available to you!
So, how do you do that?
From a macro perspective, it is necessary to upgrade the entire animal husbandry industry, expand the amount of livestock breeding, further reduce the cost of feeding, and speed up the slaughter rate.
It's a pretty complex subject.
Lu Yao chose one of the entry points: feed.
Soybeans are not only good pig feed, but also can be eaten by humans. Moreover, soybeans themselves contain a lot of oil and protein, which can be extracted from oil, and can be developed and utilized in the future.
It's one thing to theoretically do this, but it's another thing to go in what direction the villains will actually develop soybeans.
Just like grapes, Lu Yao thought they could make wine. As a result, the villains backhanded him ale and made grapes into high-end sacred fruits.
Lu Yao continued to pay attention to the tribe.
After three winters, a 60-year-old farmer named Nongliang discovered the secret of soybeans.
"The pacing bird often steals food next to the soybean field, which means that it likes soybeans very much, and since there are extra soybeans in the barn, it is better to feed them."
At first, Nong Liang was still sneaky, using fresh soybeans to feed the two pacing bird chicks he bought.
The pacing birds he fed were noticeably stronger than the rest of their kind. The two birds are not only tall, but also have dense feathers, and they are also domineering and exposed when pacing, which is quite the momentum of the red rabbit among the birds.
Especially after slaughtering them, they also get [high-quality meat].
Nonra was so excited that he ran all the way to the temple and selflessly told the leader Morimi about this momentous discovery.
"Leader, soybeans make the pacing bird very strong and have more and better meat!"
"Maybe feed sheep, pigs and fish!"
The wizard Morimi takes this very seriously. After ascertaining that what Nongliang said was completely true, he immediately consulted with Haimila and Yulian, and questioned other farmers and herdsmen.
Soon after, they began calling on the entire tribe to feed their livestock with soybeans to produce more meat.
A prompt appears on the screen.
[Nongliang invented soybean feed. γ
γThe garlic tribe has mastered the method of making and using soybean feed. γ
The feed policy brought about an immediate change. Driven by soybeans, pigs, sheep, pacing birds and even horses have seen a significant increase in growth and reproduction.
Soon, these changes radiated to the trading market. The price of meat has been reduced to a certain extent, so that more shy people can eat meat.
To Lu Yao's regret, this farmer died soon after promoting soybean feed. He didn't even wait for the possible heroic transformation treatment.
But the tribesmen remembered him.
The old farmer's name is inscribed on the monument, and although it is only a short line, it is also remembered as part of the history of the tribe.
"Nongliang: He was the first to feed the pacing birds with soybeans, and he let everyone know that soybeans are valuable fodder. He's got everybody to eat more meat."
The garlic tribe began to grow soybeans like crazy in order to get more meat.
It didn't take long for the soybean fields to rival the size of the wheat fields, stretching into forests and rivers. Soybeans attracted many animals, but once again triggered a series of subsequent changes.
[The garlic tribe learned how to raise and use cattle.] γ
The garlic tribe learned how to raise fish. γ
Soybeans indirectly domesticated bison and finally made fish farming a reality.
Black and yellow cows roam the meadows, and farmers use wheelbarrows to push piles of soybeans with leaves next to it. Then these large livestock began to cook with their heads in their heads, so cool that they flicked their tails.
On the wharf by the East River, there are more fish farms fenced with stones and fishing nets. Fishermen throw soybeans into the feed, and the fish in the water come out to grab food.
Seeing this scene, Lu Yao also felt a little emotional.
A long time ago, there were villains in the tribe who had the idea of raising fish.
One of them is called Nong Yu, and the other is called Yu Huan.
At that time, the two of them envisioned a water farmland, raising fish like wheat, planting in the spring and harvesting in the autumn. But they didn't succeed until they died.
It's been many years.
Later, people finally completed their wild dreams and let the dreams of their predecessors shine into reality.
Soybeans became the catalyst that allowed the garlic tribe's long-stagnant agriculture to flourish.
Not long after, the thing that Lu Yao was thinking about finally appeared.
γThe garlic tribe learned to make and use milk.γ γ
The garlic tribe learned to make and use goat's milk. γ
[The intelligence of all the people in the garlic tribe has improved to a certain extent. γ
Seeing these two lines, Lu Yao spontaneously felt a sense of accomplishment.
Finally, the villains of the tribe were able to eat meat, eggs and milk packages, and the god of buddy was also competent.
