Chapter Fifty-Six: Out on the Hunt
"Huh! God's Messenger, it's so delicious! ”
Eating the meat stewed with dried mushrooms, everyone was amazed.
It's no wonder that the people of Teng Snake didn't find out, there was only one pot in the tribe, and this was given by Black Feather when he sent people to the Black Feather Tribe to participate in the war before.
Even if there is a pot, everyone is usually reluctant to use it, that is, after Song Xuan came, he only cooked every day, and before there was a pot, no one thought of how to eat the dried mushrooms.
However, in recent days, the weather has been sunny, and there are fewer mushrooms in the forest, although from spring to autumn, mushrooms have grown, but the scale is still different, and they usually come out in a concentrated manner after rain.
During the days when the tribe was vigorously picking mushrooms, Song Xuan also led people to plant the first batch of seedlings.
After filling the field with water, and then leveling it a little, the number of seedlings in the first batch is not much, after all, there are only two or three catties of seeds, so even if the planting is a little sparse, in the end it is barely planted an acre of land.
But the remaining seedlings have also grown to the extent that they can be transplanted at this time, and today is the time for the Tengsnake tribe to collectively plant seedlings.
The temperature during the day was still a bit high, and in order to keep the seedlings in a better state, Song Xuan asked a group of people to be responsible for pulling the seedlings in the seedling field.
When there are enough seedlings, they take a straw and bundle it, and a few people save a little, and after they have enough loads, they carry it to the seedling field and distribute it to others.
The burden is also made temporarily, that is, to choose a larger animal skin, tie the animal skin rope at the four corners, and use the bamboo so on the line, although it is somewhat simple, but the seedlings are still very easy to use, otherwise one by one to take a handful, a person can not take a few.
"Everyone, take the seedlings and plant them in the field like this!"
I saw Song Xuan holding the seedlings in his left hand, and his right hand was dividing out three or four trees, and his middle finger and index finger clamped the roots of the seedlings, so that the roots of the seedlings would not be hurt when they were inserted, and the seedlings were placed in the palm of his hand, and then the seedlings were inserted into the soil.
This is also the experience of planting a batch of seedlings before planting, and transplanting for the depth is also particular, about one-third of the planting, too shallow to take root, too deep and long but slower, and may even soak to death.
Song Xuan also observed some seedlings that did not grow well, or died after planting, and summed up his experience.
Leave a distance of two fists between the seedlings and the seedlings, so that the front is about six plants, the distance is too narrow, it will be a little dense, so that after growing up, it will definitely affect each other, too wide and too wasteful of the field, this width is more appropriate, and the movement of the arms under the six is also in a more comfortable range, and no matter how much you have to lean left and right.
Whether it is planting rice or planting things, it will be more convenient to plant it upside down, mainly because planting rice backwards will not affect the seedlings that have been planted, but unskilled people will accidentally sit in the water, but there are a lot of jokes.
Song Xuan also told everyone to plug in as evenly as possible, so that it looks good and is suitable for growth, in order to be as standard as possible, Song Xuan has a row in the front and the left, this is considered a standard line, as long as everyone follows this, they will not deviate too much.
Song Xuan still wanted the people in the tribe to learn to grow rice, and they would still have to rely on this to eat in the future, so except for the children who were too young, everyone else came, and eighty or ninety people were distributed in five or six acres of rice fields, so it was not lively.
There are many people, so many people, on average, one person does not even have a penny, although everyone has not done these jobs, the speed is not fast, even if it takes some time to learn how to insert, but in half a day, all the seedlings have been planted.
However, although Song Xuan got a reference line for everyone, it was still inserted crookedly in the end, but fortunately, it was generally qualified, after all, this was the first time, and the scale in the back was more familiar, everyone must be good at rice planting.
Song Xuan has heard that some powerful people can insert two acres of land a day, and they are also very good-looking, horizontal and vertical, Song Xuan does not expect such a high efficiency, everyone can reach about one acre of land.
"Oracle, can this really be eaten?"
Even if it has been planted, Shi Meng still doesn't believe it, after all, in order to clean up this land, the tribe is not less busy, setting fires, diverting water for irrigation, and digging back and forth several times, not to mention that they can't eat it, but the harvest is less, and Shi Meng and they don't think it's worth it.
With the manpower and time for this thing, going hunting in the mountains is enough for the tribe to eat a lot of time, and the spit is complaining, but since Song Xuan said that it can be eaten, they will still do it.
Fortunately, when this land was first opened, the people who worked were all captives, and their own people did not make much effort.
After the rice seedlings were planted, Song Xuan finally breathed a sigh of relief, at least this first step had been taken, and it was good to wait for the rice to grow and mature slowly, as long as there was a good harvest this year, the tribe would be able to explain.
Although everyone respects themselves very much, even if they don't understand it very well, they all do it, but the best way is to use the facts to tell them that their step is absolutely correct, as long as they succeed, the impact on Teng Snake will definitely be subversive.
After observing for a few days and making sure that most of these seedlings were alive, Song Xuan was ready to go out with the hunting team for a walk, and it was not a matter to stay in the tribe all the time.
Fortunately, the captives are also on the right track, working with the others in several groups, and there is not much going on in the tribe, so it is time to take a look at the surrounding situation.
"Ban, follow them in the tribe, and the making of bows and arrows will be learned as soon as possible!"
"Okay, oracle!"
Although Gong Yi is already a member of the Teng Snake Tribe, he still has to be vigilant, especially now that the guards in the tribe are not strict, and they still have the production method of bows and arrows.
When Song Xuan improved the arrows, they watched the whole process, and now they are also making arrows, although the number of bows has not increased, it does not prevent some arrows from being put on first.
After all, arrows are consumables, even if they can be recovered, there will still be losses, especially when hunting in the wild, it is good to kill the prey in place, so that whether it is hit or not, most of them can still be found.
But if you run away with the arrow, you may not be able to get it back, even if it is a hunter like Shi Meng, it is common for the prey to escape, if you meet one, you can catch one, and the things in the tribe are afraid that there will be too many things to eat.
