Chapter 469: Change
Although the villagers did not quite believe that the seemingly inconspicuous bag of seeds could grow food if they were scattered in the ground, the two old fellows seemed to have made up their minds to eat idle food anyway, and if they wanted to do something, let them do it.
What's more, Fang Rui told them that there was no need for hunters to participate in the labor, but only other people in the village who did not have the ability to hunt to participate in the labor.
Originally, except for dozens of hunters in the village, everyone else was also idle, and it was also what they hoped to do if they could make more contributions.
So in the next few days, they began to sort out a piece of flat land with hundreds of acres near the village under the command of Fang Rui with great interest.
According to Fang Rui's request, after turning over the ground, he also used various tools to finely break the soil into pieces, and then planted the millet seeds one by one.
Some people wondered why they didn't just grow it in the village, but they soon understood it.
"It stinks!"
Countless people covered their noses and looked at Fang Rui with disgust.
"There is no smell of dung, where can the five grains be fragrant. ”
Fang Rui carried two dung buckets and carefully poured the dung water on the land little by little with a spoon: "This will make the crops grow better." ”
Many people looked at Fang Rui's behavior with pale faces, thinking to themselves, can they eat the things poured out of the dung?
Only Chen Changsheng was helping Fang Rui, and the others showed their cleanliness habits.
Fang Rui didn't care about this, he knew that as long as the millet was grown, they would know how correct their approach was.
The days passed like this.
The villagers began to watch the two old fellows work in the fields every day, although they moved slowly, but they did not seem to know that they were tired, and gradually, the seedlings began to pull out, showing green.
As the seedlings grew day by day, more and more villagers began to watch from the edge of the fields, and they began to look forward to the day of harvest.
"Can I eat these things after I harvest them, are they delicious, how do I eat them?"
Such questions are on the minds of the villagers.
Finally, summer is over and autumn is here.
The yellow, orange and orange ears of grain fluttered in the wind, and under Fang Rui's initiative, the villagers began to harvest the ears of grain with hunting knives.
"There is still a flat land in the village...... Remember to take them over and dry them in the sun. Fang Rui advised.
After all the millet is harvested, it is spread on the ground, and the water begins to evaporate little by little.
After a few more days, Fang Rui began to command everyone to remove the chaff, which was not an easy job, and everyone was doing it hard.
"This is to have enough food for the winter...... You don't want the hunters to go out hunting in the winter, do you?"
Fang Rui's words made everyone leave their complaints behind and start working hard.
After all, Orion is also their loved one, and every winter...... These are the times when Orion is most likely to be in danger of his life.
It took half a month for all the millet to be removed from the shell, revealing the yellow-orange-orange body.
"How do you eat this?" the villager began to ask.
"It's ready to eat when it's cooked. ”
Fang Rui said with a smile.
Then he took some millet and started cooking at Yuwenhu's house.
When the cooked millet was served, everyone tasted it.
"It tastes good, but it's not as good as meat...... someone said after eating.
"Of course, there is no meat to eat, but you can't eat meat every day, it's a staple food! Besides, dried millet can be stored for a long time, what do you usually eat in winter?"
The answer soon came out, in winter, they usually eat dried wild fruits and served with dried meat.
"Those things can't be used as staple food, eating meat every day, the stomach will definitely not be able to stand it, or millet is the staple food, and meat is the only way to go. ”
Fang Rui educated them.
This winter, the people in Yuwenhu Village had a good winter.
At first, they were not used to eating millet rice, but they began to find that millet and dried meat were eaten together, and their bodies were more comfortable, and after being filled with millet rice, the hunters did not have to go hunting in winter, and spent a winter comfortably.
"Not only can you grow millet rice, you can also grow vegetables, and you can even raise some animals to spend the winter, there are pheasants and hares in the woods, these are all tamable, their meat, the same can be eaten, and this year the two of us have done most of the things, we can harvest so much millet rice, if the whole village of hunters and other people come to farm, the natural harvest of millet will be more, and your village can also raise more children, and expand the scope of the village." ”
Fang Rui sat in the warm room and said to Yuwen Hu.
"Well, we've always been underfed, so we don't dare to have too many children...... And millet is good, always eat meat, the stomach is uncomfortable, if you take millet as the staple food, we don't need to hunt too much prey. Yuwenhu slapped his face and said.
"If you hunt too much, the prey around you may become extinct, and you will be forced to hunt farther away, and the possibility of danger will be greater. Fang Rui said with a smile.
"Yes, yes, that's it. Yuwenhu slapped his thigh: "When I just started hunting, I could catch a lot of hunts in a circle in the nearby woods, but now I have to run a long way to be able to catch some of the prey, it turns out that we hunt too much!"
"After all, prey also takes time to grow. Fang Rui smiled.
"Old man, you are such a strange person...... Is there anything else we need to do to grow millet?" asked Yu Wenhu.
"Of course, there's a lot to be done...... First of all, there are farming tools, we use hunting forks to level the land, and hunting knives are used to harvest millet rice, these things are not easy to use, there are blacksmiths in the village, my brother knows how to beat farm tools, and after the beginning of spring, let him guide you to beat the farm tools, then the efficiency of farming will be higher. Fang Rui said with a smile.
"I listen to you. Yu Wenhu nodded emphatically.
"Why do you want me to do it?" Chen Changsheng asked Fang Rui in private.
"Naturally, you are better than me in this kind of thing...... Besides, I can't get all the merit alone, and I don't want to take care of you all the time. Fang Rui said with a smile.
Chen Changsheng bit his lip: "I don't know what farm tools look like." ”
Then he lowered his head and looked like he was about to cry.
Fang Rui smiled dumbly.
"You don't know, I'll sue you......" Fang Rui patted Chen Changsheng's head, just like when he accepted him as an apprentice.
"Now, there are only two kinds of farm tools they need, one is a hoe and the other is a sickle...... The hoe can turn the ground more easily, and the role of the sickle is greater, and when harvesting, with the sickle, you can harvest faster, so as not to hit the bad weather and cause the harvest to be lost......"
Fang Rui began to re-teach Chen Changsheng and teach him some things in the world.
And Chen Changsheng also began to study seriously.
He is the master of the Sword Sect, a natural sword master, even if he rebuilds in this life, he has never looked at his feet, his eyes have always been staring at the sky.
He wanted to leave this world, so his eyes were always on the sky.
Fang Rui wanted to pull him down to the ground and let him truly understand the world.
Learn how the world works, take your eyes off the sky, and see the joys, sorrows, and sorrows of the world.
Fang Rui said that Chen Changsheng listened and listened very carefully.
After the beginning of spring, the blacksmith shop in the village began to be lively.
According to the drawings drawn by Chen Changsheng, the blacksmith in the village began to jingle hoes and sickles.
With their hoes in hand, the villagers began to level larger fields.
First turn over the ground, and then crush the soil with a hoe little by little, so that the soil in the whole field becomes soft.
The millet planted next was the full seed specially picked out by Fang Rui during the harvest last year.
"In the future, remember to set aside the best seeds every year, so that you can have a continuous supply of millet rice. Fang Rui said to the villagers.
The village began to change gradually.
The villagers are accustomed to eating millet as a staple food, with game and wild fruits to fill their stomachs.
The fields began to be enlarged, and more and more food was produced.
The grain is well stored, and the stalks are chopped and scattered in the fields, which is said to make the land more fertile.
Fang Rui and Chen Changsheng have become the most respected people in the village.
Because they changed the lives of the people in the village.
Orions don't have to go farther to hunt more prey, because prey is just one type of vegetable.
In addition to millet rice, Fang Rui taught them to start growing more plants, growing a variety of vegetables and fruits, and changing their lives.
Chen Changsheng is in the farmland every day, researching newer farm tools, which greatly saves the villagers when farming.
As the days passed, year by year, this small village with only more than 100 households slowly expanded into a large village with a population of more than 10,000 people, with countless fertile fields and abundant food and clothing.
One day, Fang Rui and Chen Changsheng disappeared into the village.
When the villagers found out that Fang Rui and Chen Changsheng had quietly left, many people began to cry bitterly.
Next, they have a tradition.
When winter arrives every year, they will worship the statues of Fang Rui and Chen Changsheng, and pass on the story of Fang Rui and Chen Changsheng from generation to generation.
After a long time, Fang Rui became the god of grains.
Chen Changsheng became the god of farm tools.
As the farming methods they passed down slowly spread, the entire appearance of the Divine Continent began to change.
The commoners of the God-Man Continent have changed from nomads to farming people.
Dwellings became more fixed, and eventually the state emerged.
The monks began to live in seclusion in the mountains, only occasionally walking the world, slaying fierce beasts and protecting the safety of one side.
The Divine Continent has changed from a barren continent to a rich continent.
It's just that they have only worshiped the statues of the two old men.
Clay statues of two white-bearded grandfathers.
