Farming in the Primitive Tribe

"Wild vegetables." Shen Xiaoxiao said with a smile, and took out the contents of the basket to show them. The others did not doubt whether they were edible, and asked curiously, "Goddess, how do you make this delicious?" "

Shen Xiaoxiao smiled slightly and said, "This is shepherd's purse. Chop it and mix it with minced meat to make dumplings or cook it. This is night leek, which can be used to fry eggs. This is chrysanthemum, which is delicious when stir-fried. "

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and became infinitely curious about these wild vegetables. "Goddess, can you give us two? Let's dig them."

"Okay." Shen Xiaoxiao was not stingy and gave them a few of each type and asked them to take them with them to find them.

"You wash these wild vegetables, and I'll make the dough." Shen Xiaoxiao told Xiao Yan to wash the vegetables, and she took out the flour and made it into dough. Soon the wild vegetables were also washed, and Xiao Yan slowly used a bone knife to wash the vegetables. Slowly chop into fine pieces.

Shen Xiaoxiao frowned slightly. Thinking that these tools were indeed difficult to use, she couldn't help but have some thoughts in her mind.

"Let's make a stove after eating food later. In two days I will smelt some iron to make an iron knife." Shen Xiaoxiao wrote lightly, "Iron knife?" Xiao Yan looked at her doubtfully, what is this? knife?

"Yes, the bone knives we use now are too difficult to use. Although iron knives cannot cut wood like hair, they are sharper than bone knives." Moreover, she also wants to grow wheat, and tools made of stone alone are not enough. , but also to get out those hoes.

"What to do?" Xiao Yan asked curiously.

"We will make a stove later and use up some firewood." To make iron, the temperature of firewood alone cannot be reached. Some carbon must be burned first, and the remaining firewood is not enough to support it. , so they had to collect some firewood, which was why she didn't make iron in the winter. After all, the firewood was saved for the winter.

Xiao Yan thought for a while and couldn't figure out what it was like, with doubtful eyes. Shen Xiaoxiao said with a smile, "You will know later, but now we will be busy and have to pick up more firewood." ." Fortunately, it's getting warmer day by day, and there is still firewood to collect.

"Okay, I'll pick it up." Xiao Yan agreed immediately. He didn't have to go hunting with the rest of the tribe and had time to do this with Xiaoxiao.

Shen Xiaoxiao washed the leftover bacon and chopped it into stuffing. "When the iron is produced, we will use two hoes to dig up the land and plant it. Then we will catch some cows, sheep and chickens and raise them. Gradually, we will no longer need them." I risked my life and went hunting in the mountains. Although farming is harder, it is much safer than hunting."

She herself never thought that one day she would need to farm to support herself, and the farming was done entirely by hand, without any technology. The key was that it matched her major.

The scene she mentioned appeared in Xiao Yan's mind, his eyes were full of longing, and the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up, as if he had seen the scene she described.

Shen Xiaoxiao said softly while making dumplings. A ray of sunlight fell on her body and covered her with a soft light. Many years later, he still recalled this scene very clearly. This scene was one of his most precious memories. Later, I spent countless difficult nights relying on these memories.

The two made dumplings, and the people who went to dig wild vegetables came back. They took the dug wild vegetables and asked Shen Xiaoxiao how to make them. They told Xiao Yan to cook the dumplings, and she went to teach them how to handle the wild vegetables.

"You goddesses are so powerful." The people of the Blue Bird Tribe said with envy. The goddesses of the White Tiger Tribe know so many things. They even know how to eat the weeds that no one wants.

The people from the White Tiger Tribe couldn't help but puff up their chests, "Of course, our goddesses are amazing, we know more than that."

Shen Xiaoxiao just looked at them with a smile. After teaching them, she went back. Xiao Yan also cooked the dumplings and fried the leeks and eggs.

After the two of them had eaten, Shen Xiaoxiao took Xiao Yan to get some clay and made a stove out of the clay in the open space. She broke off the firewood and put it inside to light it and harden the base. Then she slowly raised the height of the stove. Several vents were reserved at the bottom. The stove was raised to about 40 to 50 centimeters, and firewood was piled inside. After the stove was filled with firewood, it was covered with clay, leaving only an opening.

Then she poured the burning charcoal into the stove, and fanned the fire with a large leaf to keep the fire burning. Soon a raging fire burned in the stove, and she asked Xiao Yan to seal the reserved opening with a piece of clay. , and soon the space reserved at the bottom began to smoke, and the vent at the bottom was sealed after the firewood at the bottom was almost burning.

It takes a day to form charcoal. Taking advantage of this time, Shen Xiaoxiao went to the river to look for soil containing iron elements. She was in a place with a lot of silt.

"Can't other soil work?" Xiao Yan asked doubtfully. This is obviously soil, but there is no iron like Xiaoxiao said.

"This soil is better." She has never really done it. What she relies on now is some theoretical knowledge. It should be correct based on other people's experience.

Xiao Yan said nothing more and dug the soil with her silently. The water in early spring was still a little cold, so Xiao Yan asked her to watch from the side while he did it himself.

Shen Xiaoxiao was not idle either. She crushed the remaining charcoal and mixed it with the soil dug up by Xiao Yan, and formed it into small balls.

"Goddess, what are you doing? Playing in the mud?"

Shen Xiaoxiao responded calmly, "Yes, idle time is idle, find something to do for yourself."

Although the others were curious, they didn't say anything when they saw that Shen Xiaoxiao was really just making clay balls. They knew how to make pottery, and the goddess was definitely not making pottery like this.

Shen Xiaoxiao didn't know what they were thinking. After all the charcoal was used up, Xiao Yan stopped. After working for so long, she made fifteen mud balls.

It was getting late, so the two went back to rest.

The next day, Shen Xiaoxiao and the two went into the mountains after eating food. The others originally thought that Xiao Yan was going to hunt with them, but when they learned that they were just going to collect firewood, they were inevitably a little disappointed, but they didn't think much. say what.

The people of the Blue Bird Tribe are no longer as shocked as they were at first by their way of getting along. After all, they do not follow the tribe, nor do they want the food of the tribe. They also spend the winter safely, even better than many people.

The most important thing is that this person is their goddess and the strongest male in the tribe. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they really wouldn't believe it.

The people from the Blue Bird Tribe were curious and asked, but the people from the White Tiger Tribe were hesitant, so they didn't ask any more questions.

Shen Xiaoxiao didn't know what they were thinking, so she and Xiao Yan brought back a pile of firewood. After they came back, they drank water, then dug clay and piled up charcoal for five stoves.

By the time they finished their work, it was already afternoon. After eating something simple, they dug into the earth and built an iron-making furnace. They found a piece of bark and made it into a suitable size to make a simple blower. By the end of this, the sun had already set in the west.

The people in the tribe stopped paying attention after taking a look at them while they were still playing in the mud. They originally offered to help her, but they were all rejected.
