Chapter 215: Assessment (II)
After the shippers and the clan recognized the reality, they had already laid flat, casually, and loved it.
The average temperature in autumn here is about 20 degrees, and the growth of grain is more than half a month later than in summer, but what does it matter? Their production is still terrifying.
corn, 1,500 catties per mu;
potatoes, with a yield of more than 2,000 catties per mu;
Sweet potato, the yield per mu is nearly 4,000 catties.
Peanuts: more than 400 catties per mu.
Huang Shangshu has two rounds of planting, from beginning to end, and has made a complete record, without a record of mixing a little water.
The first time I learned about peanuts, it turned out that they can not only be used as snacks, but also for oil extraction!
The place where the river is most turbulent was chosen, and the flowing mill had to be arranged.
Whether it's freshly broken corn kernels or dried cornmeal, stone grinding is required.
In order to celebrate their harvest again, and for the imminent parting, Heiwa specially invited Chief Amu and the female chief of the Big Tree Tribe to attend their autumn harvest banquet.
All the tables and chairs on the ship were removed and laid out for the length of a street, and each table was filled with food in clay pots.
Bison meat stewed with tomato and potato, charcoal-grilled lamb chops with chili sauce, braised hare, steamed fish, and a variety of boiled seafood in the shell.
Vegetarian dishes include: cold soybean sprouts, stir-fried sweet potato tips, tiger skin peppers, and boiled beans.
The staples are the main ones today: baby corn poop wrapped in banana leaves, steamed in a large steamer, batter boiled on dry cornmeal, and browned tortillas on both sides.
Also, boiled sweet potatoes, potatoes and baby peanuts.
The two chiefs were accustomed to using clay bowls, but they had never seen a meal of this scale, and a meal of this scale! When I saw the table full of food with all the colors and aromas, I kept swallowing my saliva.
From beginning to end, Amanlin watched how these foods were made, and saw his father so helpless.
This baby is very expressive, and took the initiative to introduce to his father and the female chief, what is it made of, and how it is done.
Although they have eaten all the plant roots that Heiwa gave to the chiefs, where do they have so many tricks? From the first bite, I was addicted to it and couldn't extricate myself.
Chief Amu thought as he ate it, the sweet potatoes grown by their tribe were almost ripe, and he didn't know how much he could harvest. It's so good to grow, they have to worry about the grass-eating prey gnawing the sweet potato vine, and the people themselves grow well.
Corn and potatoes are also to be grown, and the food my friends make out of these two things is really delicious.
The female chief of the Big Tree Tribe thought of going together with Chief Amu, and the Big Tree Tribe was more talented in planting, and she planned to exchange some corn and potatoes to go back to plant.
The task of entertaining the two chiefs was handed over to Zhong Qinbo and a few teenagers. Even though they spent the longest time in South Africa, it is a pity that the Khoisan language has not yet been learned by the young people.
Gao Huaiyu and his own generals had a great meal, and they hadn't eaten such a sumptuous meal for a long time.
Huang Shangshu went to the shipmers, and the shipwharts didn't want to see Zhong Qinbo and Gao Zongbing now, so they had to go up.
The two chiefs didn't care about anything else until they had eaten most of the food on the table, and their stomachs were already swollen.
When the two chiefs learned from the little interpreter of Amanlin that their friends would be leaving soon, they were reluctant.
They planned to go back and ask the tribesmen to dig up all the jaunds and stones they could dig up again as a farewell gift to their friends.
The loyal and diligent uncle from the state of etiquette, who must have understood etiquette better than the two chiefs, asked Aman Lin to translate:
Seeds of corn, potatoes, squash, and other vegetables left a lot for their two tribes.
After we left, the house on the other side of the cliff and the house in the camp house were given to the Big Tree Tribe and the Jungle Tribe respectively.
and the wasteland and the mill they had opened, all of which were given to them, and the two chiefs were to decide how to divide them.
The other tribes exchanged jaunds and stones for iron pots, knives, and javelins, and they also fulfilled their orders, hoping that the jungle tribes would help exchange them.
They were also willing to teach the two tribes how to make boiled salt and ironware, and a detailed production atlas was also included.
I only hope that these two tribes can maintain friendly contacts with Great Xia, and if they find jazzaks, stones, or something, they can help them keep an eye on them, and they will come again in the future.
Chief Amu was stunned and asked his son repeatedly, is this true? Didn't misunderstand?
Amanlin raised the album in his hand, on which was the album drawn by Yuan Wenjie and them, colorful, and the steps of each production method were clearly drawn.
The female chief of the Great Tree Tribe, after hearing the repeated confirmation of Chief Amu, was so grateful that she burst into tears, how precious these atlases were.
With high-yielding and delicious plant roots, inexhaustible salt, and the ability to make your own iron tools, you have a sharp weapon for hunting or defending against enemies.
The development and growth of their Big Tree Tribe is just around the corner!
She would celebrate the generosity of her friends with the people of her tribe and with her children and grandchildren
While drinking with his subordinates, Gao Huaiyu, who was paying attention to the movement here, was surprised to see the grateful looks of the two natives.
"Our uncle is really a strange man, you say, who would be so good to these uncivilized natives like us? Although these technologies are nothing, these natives have to figure it out for themselves, and it is estimated that they will have to ponder for hundreds of years! ”
"General, just because of the uncle's pure heart, our harvest this trip can be so rich!"
"That's what I said, but you take it easy, tomorrow, I'll give you half a month's vacation, as long as the people who guard the gold on the ship don't make mistakes, I won't ask you what you're doing!" As long as you don't beat your head and bleed, you don't know anything! ”
Gao Huaiyu lowered his voice and quietly told his subordinates that the ears of the shippers were sharp.
"Hehe, general, brothers remember, don't worry, we will definitely have a discussion, and we will never fight!"
The subordinates also replied quietly, their mouths were grinning to their ears, the gold mine is so big, they estimate that half of them have not dug it, and it will take half a month to mobilize seven or eight thousand brothers, and when they leave, each of them will score at least a few catties, right?
Gao Huaiyu didn't mention this topic again, this was also discussed by the three bigwigs, digging so much gold, you can't let the soldiers and shipwrights watch it, right?! Of course, these will also be told to His Majesty the Emperor.
The next day, they put the finishing touches on the harvested grain, and the corn is dried and threshed (mainly to save space).
Half of it was kept for planting in Great Xia, and half was ground into corn flour as their rations.
Sweet potato, Zhongqinbo asked everyone to wash the sweet potato, peel off the skin, put it in a steamer, and put it in the sun after steaming.
The dried sweet potatoes after three steaming and three drying are bright in color and not black, sweet and soft to eat, and not sticky to the teeth.
The soldiers who tasted the delicious dried sweet potatoes threw off their arms, which was much better than the dried taro they made on Emerald Island.
When you eat it, you don't need to process it, and if you store it well, you should be able to eat it for more than half a year.
Potatoes only need to be wiped off the soil, loaded into grain ships, and eaten as a staple food for meals on the voyage.
In addition to being busy with these, they also have to take the natives of the jungle tribe and the big tree tribe to teach the crafts of salt and iron a few times, and teach them thoroughly.
After the discussion between the chief of Amu and the female chief, it was planned that the jungle tribe would focus on learning to make iron, and the big tree tribe would focus on learning to boil salt.
The jungle tribe with many men, whether it is digging coal and iron ore or hammering iron tools, has a strong advantage over the big tree tribe with many women. The natives are careful, and the craftsmanship on the stove is also better than that of the men.
Heiwa has no opinions, they know how to divide labor and cooperate, and the future development and growth of these two tribes is just around the corner.
Everything that should be prepared is almost ready, and everything that should be explained is also explained, Heiwa finally looked at the long little animals in a daze, and before they knew it, they actually received so much.
Two pairs of small giraffes, more than fifty small ostriches, eight small zebras, ten small antelopes, two turtles bigger than the lid of a pot, a pair of small lions, and hundreds of hares
Plus the alpacas and their more than 100 horses, it's really a brain-scratching. Especially giraffes, no matter how small their necks are, most of them have to be kept on the deck!
In the days before leaving, Aman Lin simply didn't return to the tribe, and stuck to Yuan Wenjie and them every day, and he finally learned some simple phrases when he was more than half a year old.
"Thank you, come again!"
"Hey, friend, with your old friend, we will definitely try to come again in the future!"
In the last ten days, the jungle tribe and the big tree tribe raised the strength of the two tribes and sent them nearly 1,000 catties of gold.
Amanlin also gave one of the eight friends, a palm-sized ostrich leather bag containing diamonds.
To his three favorite friends (Yuan Wenjie, Yuan Wenwu, Qin Ke), the diamonds are the largest and most beautiful.
"Woo woo, uncle, I don't want to cry, but my tears, it doesn't listen to me!" Qin Ke hugged his pet leopard and cried like a dog.
"Qin Ke, man, cry, cry is not a sin!" Heiwa wanted to make fun of this baby, but as soon as he said this, he made a teenager cry.
When their ships had sailed into the sea, they stood on the deck and could see that the shore was densely populated with natives, and there must have been thousands of people who had come to see them off.
Huang Shangshu was moved, and they left a stone tablet more than two people high in the base camp, which recorded their visit to the Great Xia Dynasty, their experience of coming here, and the deep friendship they had with the natives.
The Bactrian Dynasty, the first to discover the South African continent and bring high grain production to the continent, as well as the Bactria Dynasty, who allowed them to run from the Stone Age to the Iron Age.
After setting sail again, their fleet headed northeast at a distance of more than a hundred nautical miles from the coastline.
