Chapter 151: Oh Loud
Once the hemp pond is ready, the harvest begins.
Although there are some stone sickles in the tribe, if they are used to harvest relatively tough hemp, it must not be enough, and if you can't cut one or two, you can't use it.
And some of it is prepared for harvesting rice and weeds, and in any case, it is definitely not used to cut hemp.
Song Xuan could only take the most primitive way, that is, to uproot it, and then use a stone axe to cut off the roots, and after removing the leaves, he could throw them into the pool.
It's a bit rough, but it's the highest efficiency in the tribe right now.
Although hemp is quite widely used, the disadvantage is that it is a bit wasteful when harvesting, especially in this season, everyone does not wear much.
The leaves are scraped on the bare skin, it is a red mark, and now in such a hot weather, it is natural that you can't block it with something, so you can only carry it hard, cover the key parts, and at the same time make as little contact as possible.
"Oh...... Oh! ”
"Oh!"
Everyone was on the ground and there was a roar.
Fortunately, as the resistance becomes stronger and stronger, everyone's techniques are gradually becoming proficient, and then they will only be careful when they are not careful.
Pulling and pulling, everyone also had an experience, first take a stick to knock off the leaves on it, and then pull it out, it is much safer, and even without unnecessary worries, the speed has also increased a lot.
It brought everyone back to the fun of childhood.
Song Xuan himself was stung enough, and after discovering that someone had come up with this method, he quickly let everyone start using it.
At the same time, different tasks were also arranged for everyone, Shi Meng they were strong and strong, and they were naturally the most suitable to pull out, and the women had to be responsible for cutting off the roots of the pulled out hemp, which were not useful, and they were not good at rotting, and had no use value.
Although hemp is also a perennial plant, and after cutting off the plants on it, it will continue to grow, but this is not because there are no such conditions in the tribe, but it is not as easy as sowing seeds.
Anyway, Song Xuan has already left a small piece of seed to do, and it should not be a problem for the seeds to meet next year's needs, and when the problem of tools is really solved in the tribe, he will give full play to the strength of hemp.
Now that it can only be harvested once a year, Song Xuan honestly feels a bit wasteful, but this is also a helpless move after all.
The efficiency of the whole dispatch is still quite high, and the hemp in the field has been pulled clean in less than an afternoon.
And about half of it has been poured into the pool, and when the pool is ready, the stream is first brought in, although it is not yet full, but it is only a matter of time.
The remaining part of the hemp should be able to be processed tomorrow, nearly two acres of land, although not very much, but it can almost fill the entire pond.
Transported to the pool or have to rely on waterway transportation, a transport so much is also to make everyone feel the power of the waterway again, if you rely on people to move a bundle of bundles, although the speed may not be too slow, but the need to use the manpower and pay for the physical strength is too much, which is like now a few people follow the past, a while can get a boat.
After completing this mission, the hunting party returned to the mountains and forests, and then began the hunting journey.
After more than two months of hard work, the harvest is still very obvious, and the tribe now has nearly three months of grain stock, which is naturally due to the increase in manpower and the better and better cooperation of everyone.
In addition, although there is no deliberate catch alive to come back, but the blind cat can always meet the dead mouse, there are always those who are panicked and hit the crowd directly, or the injury is not fatal, in this case, everyone generally does not immediately kill, if the time is enough, then observe, if you rush back, then directly tie it back.
Although it will waste some more physical strength, the effect is still quite good, and a third of them are lucky to survive.
Up to now, there are already thirty sheep in the tribe, and in addition to the ones they brought back, they also gave birth to a few from the previous ewes.
But Uncle Lu's family didn't move, Song Xuan felt that Uncle Lu usually didn't work hard, but it seemed that his daughters-in-law were not very competitive, and they didn't produce anything after getting Teng Snake.
Of the many livestock, it was naturally the rabbits that gave birth to the most, so much so that the rabbit hutch was expanded for another round, and a small area was specially set aside for their activities.
However, although there are many births, rabbits also die a lot, and there are no snakes to eat, they often fight among themselves, and it is very normal to fight to the death.
Shi Yan didn't figure out any good way to deal with this, but fortunately, the base is large enough, and the occasional death of a few does not have much impact on the whole, and from spring to now, the worst has already given birth to a litter.
Of course, there are also those who have no achievements, in the face of this, Song Xuan doesn't want to treat other animals like him, and he can get used to them, but if the rabbit does not perform well, he will directly take it out and sacrifice to the sky on the spot.
Don't look at the rabbit, although it is not big, it eats a lot every day.
Originally, it was raised as food, since it has matured, and it does not continue to breed, then naturally there is no need to stay, and now it is not as good as at the beginning, there were not many rabbits in the tribe before, and it was naturally delicious and delicious to eat, and now they can not help it.
However, the supplements that should be there still need to be added, otherwise the back and forth is bred by this litter of rabbits, which is too confusing.
But even if rabbits breed so fast, it's unrealistic to want them to be a staple food, and too many of them are hard to control.
Next, just wait for the hemp to be ready, and then there will be no need to use animal skins as ropes in the tribe, although the hemp has not yet been done, Song Xuan can also detect it, and now everyone has begun to wait, and they can drag it as long as they can, and they are all waiting for the hemp rope to come on the field.
But even if the harvest is complete, I want to wait until everything in the pond is rotten. If there is no ten days and half a month, it is estimated that it is unlikely, and in order to have a better effect, the longer it is, the better.
Song Xuan would inspect the rice fields in the tribe every day or two, observing the water level in the fields and the growth of rice, these rice can basically be regarded as planting for about the same time, but the difference is still a little obvious, and the better cultivated fields can obviously see that the rice grows better.
In the second half of the field, where the roots of the trees have not been completely removed, look much more sparse, and there is no thickness at the edges.
This is determined by the quality of the land, and Song Xuan has no choice but to wait for those tree roots to rot naturally, fortunately, by now the small ones have almost rotted, Song Xuan also picked a few places and poked the bucket, most of which only left some thicker tree roots, I believe that next year should be much better.
This year is just a transitional one.
Although there is some helplessness, but fortunately, it is also in line with the overall expectations, if the tribe does nothing at the beginning, all of them dig into the ground, it is not impossible to clean it up, but the price paid Teng Snake can not bear it for the time being, even if it is lazy for a while, in the end there is not much food left in the tribe, if all the people are dispatched, it is estimated that before the rice is planted, people will starve to death.
Although the rice has not yet reached the harvest time, Song Xuan is already thinking about the arrangement of the autumn harvest, if many things are done temporarily, it may not be able to be busy, it is better to take advantage of the fact that it is not so busy now, and take it with him.
First of all, of course, there should be a shed in the field, which is for everyone to shade the sun, although the time to harvest rice is not the hottest period, but the temperature is not low, according to last year's experience, there is no way to even go out to work at noon.
Other times, you can resist hard, but you definitely need to rest.
This large paddy field is the highest rice grown, naturally there is no place to cool off, at the junction of several plots of land to set up a shed can also provide a place for everyone to rest, and then you can also put some cold water in it, so that it will not be exposed to the sun, and finally drink it is hot.
Although the sheds are not complicated to make, after all, there are quite a few of them, and if these rice fields are completely covered, a dozen or so will definitely be needed, and it will be too time-consuming to set up temporarily.
The main function of this kind of shed is to provide shade from the sun, so just use a few pillars around it to support the roof.
The roof is naturally still thatched, since there is no need to use it to prevent rain or anything, so there is no need to paste the grass and mud, but in order to prevent the wind from blowing it away, Song Xuan still added a few pieces of wood to it and pressed it at the junction.
The shed is not big, only two or three meters square, even if it is to rest, it must be to take turns to rest, it is impossible for ten or twenty people to be crowded together.
A house of this size is enough, the only drawback is that it still occupies part of the rice field, after all, the aisle left by everyone at that time, the widest part is only less than half a meter, and most of the places are just barely able to pass.
However, although the pillars stretched into the rice field, they did not destroy too much rice, and everyone paid attention to pulling out as few trees as possible, so the impact on the yield was not great.
Although Song Xuan had a plan in his heart for a long time, he forgot it whether it was when he was cultivating or when he was planting rice, and there was such a thing as thinking about it at this time, so he naturally paid some price.
Fortunately, this price is acceptable, Song Xuan casually pulled three people, and built two in one day, the efficiency is still quite good, you must know that at this temperature, there is basically no way to go out to work at noon.
Although it looks a little simple, it is more than enough to shade the sun, Song Xuan didn't expect him to be able to use it for a few years a day, just replace it when it breaks down, anyway, there will be a lot of straw after the rice harvest this year, and the tribe will definitely not be able to use it up.
