By the time the planting arrangements were made and the preparations were ready to be boiled again, it was already three days later.

Li Ben directly dug a cellar in the big witch tent on the spot, put all the corn in it, and prepared to wait for the old department and others to leave before planting.

Fengyun didn't do anything in the past three days, and patronized Li Cheng to make a wooden plow.

Li Cheng is the old man he met when he went to the farm, and he is also the only craftsman he remembers, Fengyun spent three days teaching him how to make a treadmill.

Li farmers also have plows, but most of them can only be used as hand plows, and very few can be pulled by livestock. Fengyun was afraid that it would take too much time to boil salt, and if he missed the time to sow seeds, he could only hurry up and get some wooden plows out first.

The treadmill is the simplest kind of plow, three or four sturdy pieces of wood can be used by gouging out a few eyes, sharpening the head under the point, although it is not too efficient, but it is still faster than they can use the plow.

Although there are also carpenter skills in the ploughshare, the production of the ploughshare is a big problem that has to be solved step by step.

The bronze production process cannot be taught for three days, and can only be done with wood first. Fortunately, Chiyou City is backed by a mountain, and the most important thing is wood, and the animal bones that can be seen everywhere are natural ploughshares. Even if the loss of wood is too great, take a cow skull or a sheep skull, and tie it with hemp rope from the hole in the eye hole to tie it up for an hour, and there are not many others in Chiyou City, and the bones that are eaten clean can be everywhere, and many of them are stinky, so it is also considered waste.

Li Ben also attached great importance to boiling salt this time, and as soon as the hunting party returned to the city, he rushed over and prepared to arrange it himself.

The grand occasion when the hunting party returned to the city was what Fengyun had seen with his own eyes, and it was the first time he had seen so many animals, and it was also the first time he had seen so many muscle sticks.

There were three or four hundred strong men who looked like Spartan warriors, and they were all only wrapped in animal skins on their lower bodies. The precious linen cloth was too easily damaged in the forest, so they all wore hides sewn from the prey they had hunted.

It has been more than a month since they were away from home, and the warriors who have been hunting all year round have not had much time to rest, so they cherish the time at home. The sturdy Li men smiled heartily, picked up their children, took their women, and greeted their parents with warmth, while showing off the prey they had hunted this time and reaped the appreciation of their relatives.

The big dog, almost every man, scurried around happily, squeezing out a few drops of urine under the corners of each house to declare his territory, much to the displeasure of the black and white flowers.

The Fuwa, who were already familiar with Chiyou City, did not realize the attraction of their fat bodies to others, but ran to the dog pile very affectionately and ran with them.

Li Yan affectionately beat his chest and greeted each member of the hunting team, while dragging Fengyun over to introduce the sturdy man who took the lead: "Brother Shu, this is Fengyun, I have only woken up in the past few days." ”

Li Shu has a very loud voice and is also quite interested in Fengyun.

Pu Fan's big hand almost dislocated Fengyun's shoulder, and he laughed: "It turns out that you are born like this, I also saw you when you were asleep, and half of the foreign essence blood of our hunting team in the past half a year has been spent on you." ”

Fengyun grinned when he was patted, and seeing that he still had the intention of coming again, he quickly changed the topic and asked: "I have long heard the eggs they mentioned, the hunting team is the most powerful warrior of the Li clan, and when I saw it today, it really deserved its reputation, how did you get it back?"

The scarred mammoth was covered in rattan and pinned to it with smaller animals such as foxes, rabbits, jackals, rats, and lynxes with their legs tied, slumped on the ground panting for breath. It was used as a toy by the bold little Li guys, jumping up and down and crawling on his body.

Li Shu smiled: "You are right, the most difficult thing for us to hunt is not to hunt, but to transport." This hunt expanded the hunting ground by ten miles, and it was only then that enough prey was caught. If you kill it directly, you will be eaten by maggots within seven days, and if you can bring the prey back to the clan alive, it can be considered a good hunting team. ”

This barren mountain and wild mountain is not troublesome enough, Fengyun asked suspiciously: "Why don't you domesticate it, after a long time, give birth to offspring, can't you breed and breed?"

Li Shu shook his head and said, "You just came, I don't know the inside story." There are also domesticated wild animals in my Li tribe, and those sheep behind the stone wall courtyard are domesticated. But domesticating too many foreign races will lead to retaliation, especially the Scales and Feathers. Suitable for domestication of foreign wild animals is scarce, the scale tribe has never been domesticated successfully precedent, the hairy feather tribe after many years of trying, but also only domesticated chickens, dogs, cattle, sheep four livestock. The rest of the wild creatures are either fierce and unyielding, or they are foreign servants who are attached to the spiritual veins of foreign tribes. In the end, the food and drink are served, and they have to be sent back to others, and the gains outweigh the losses. ”

Forgetting this, Fengyun asked again: "Then if you don't let them be raised, you won't care if you eat them?"

Li Shu said with a smile: "It is natural for the weak to eat the strong, if you kill and eat meat, it is nothing, but domestication is an insult." Being domesticated is equivalent to a slave in the human race, the most lowly, and it will not be spared if it is discovered by foreigners. After all, surrendering to a foreign tribe is an unforgivable sin in any clan, and the four animals have been domesticated by my Li tribe for decades,"

Fengyun scratched his scalp and said, "Then it's easier to kill and eat meat directly?"

"That's true. Li Shu smiled and said.

"Okay......" It turned out that there was still this saying, shrugged, Fengyun said: "Then when I come back from boiling salt, next time you hunt, you can directly marinate the meat with salt and make bacon and bring it back, how convenient." ”

Li Shu smiled and said, "What do you mean when we hunt next time? Aren't you a witch war? What? You don't want to join the hunting team?"

However, Li Greed was more familiar with Fengyun, and noticed the new words in his words, and asked, "What is bacon?"

Fengyun explained casually: "It is to wipe the meat with salt first, marinate it, and smoke it with pine and cypress wood in the smoking room, even if it is the hottest days of the year, it can be kept for a week, and it will not be bitten by mosquitoes, if it is stored properly, there is no problem with putting it for a month, and it will be longer in winter......"

Before he finished speaking, Li Shu's eyes widened, Li Yan stepped forward and covered Fengyun's mouth, looked at the people from the old department who were envious of the hunting team outside the crowd, and asked in a low voice: "You said that salt can still make meat not rot in summer?"

This guy didn't wash his hands in the morning, Fengyun took two sips, wiped his mouth and said, "Just talk, don't cover your mouth? Didn't I say it? It is to let the meat sit for a few more days, but it must also be done in a proper way." ”

Li Shu anxiously leaned over and asked, "But don't worry about nonsense! This is a major matter related to the clan!"

Fengyun said helplessly: "When did I say nonsense?"

Li Shu let out a sigh and said to Li Yan: "In this way, the hunting team can bring back at least twice as many prey each time!"

"More than ......," Li Yuan nodded and said, "Do you know why I want you to come back as soon as possible? ”

After knowing the importance of salt, Li Shu couldn't stay at all, and was about to set off with the wind and clouds, but was stopped by Li Greed. He pointed to the old people who were watching and said, "I have to take them with me." ”

"What are you going to do with them?" Li Shu was not happy, after Li Yan briefly explained the reason, he looked at Fengyun as if he saw his uncompetitive son, if he didn't care about the patriarch here, he would be ready to shave him with big ears.

Wheezing and panting, Li Shu roared in a low voice: "Fool! Such a precious thing has actually been taken by you to replace people? If you want people to farm the land, you say! My hunting team is a good hand at catching wild beasts, and catching people is no exception, I will lead the team to the west to catch some slaves for you, won't you get it back? It's a big loss! It's a big loss!"

Li Greed waved his hand and persuaded him: "I have suspended the matter of begging in the west, don't go west for the time being, the people in the old department don't know that salt can store meat, they only know how to make seasoning, this matter must be kept secret, and it is not allowed to be passed on." This time, you are going to boil salt under the protection of Fengyun, don't let them rob you of Fengyun, understand?"

"Needless to say, Brother Fengyun will not be plucked out by those pickled goods!" Li Shu is a typical Li character, that is, all good things belong to the Li people, if a foreigner wants to take it, chop his hands! He was surrounded by blood mist, and his magic power burst out, staring viciously at the people of the old department who were bored and waiting to leave in the corner, staring at them inexplicably.

Li was not at ease, and called Li Shu and Fengyun to the big witch tent to explain for a long time before they led the team to prepare for departure with the people of the old department.

The buttocks were not yet hot, and they were about to pull out again, but the warriors did not show the slightest resentment, and calmly said goodbye to their parents, wives and children, and took up their weapons again and set off with the jerky they had already roasted.

Just sent out of the city, everyone went back to pack up the prey, the two rabbits on the mammoth's ass have been squashed, this is all meat, hurry up and roast it, don't spoil it.

The soldiers are all out, but there are still women, the women of the Li tribe are the top half of the men! Plus a boy, that is a man!

The slaughter of the prey is naturally for Li Greed, and the bone blade melted into his body when Fengyun was unconscious, and Li Greed now has no weapon to take advantage of. But a long, sharpened rod is enough to kill a dying mammoth.

The copper knife is still easier than the stone knife when dividing, Li Greed cut, Li Greed was busy with the women on the side, and suddenly she asked: "Man, why didn't you see our son?" Ran out early in the morning, and didn't come back. ”

Li Greed didn't care, and said: "You don't know that Yuan'er is the most playful, probably playing in the city!

......

Fengyun's current status in Li Shu's heart has been infinitely raised, he doesn't let Fengyun take anything, even the toolbox brought by Fengyun was taken over by him and solemnly carried on his back, ready to sleep and didn't let go.

The Li warriors walked together with the witch wars of the old department, the atmosphere was extremely weird, and they did it to death, helplessly, Fengyun could only think about his own affairs.

When he comes back from boiling salt, the first batch of corn planted should have sprouted, a total of 2,000 corn cobs, according to a cob of 300 grains of corn, a total of 600,000 seeds can be rubbed out, even if 20% of the loss is stolen by mice and wild birds, there can still be 480,000 grains left, according to a knot with 3 cobs, that is, 144 corn cobs, even if a corn cob is half a catty of grain, that can also have 720,000 catties! Coupled with the existing food and the replenishment of the hunting team in Chiyou City, it should be about the same to feed 80,000 people for a winter. It is really not enough to wait until the first grain is harvested, vacate all the land, and press another crop of winter wheat.

Solved the biggest problem of eating, Fengyun sighed with self-pity, people are engaged in scientific and technological development, and they have to farm first, which can't be compared!

As he was walking, Li Shu's ears suddenly moved, he leaped backwards, and pulled out a chubby figure from behind a small tree, only to hear him say in surprise: "Hey! Yuan'er, why did you run out?"
