Farming in the beast world starts with the cub learning system

Chapter 33

After several months of getting along, Zhu Yuanyuan had figured out her family's temperament, and she was not surprised by her eldest brother's reaction.

The first crop of sweet potatoes had to be grown by herself, otherwise there was no way to explain why she knew how to grow new food.

Learning to grow sweet potatoes through trial and error is more convincing than knowing how to grow them out of nowhere.

Zhu Yongyong had eaten and drank, packed up the fire and was about to go out. Zhu Yuanyuan felt strange, "Brother doesn't patrol at night, so why are you leaving now instead of taking a rest at home?"

The sun is in the sky, and even in autumn it is very hot. Going out at noon is just asking for trouble.

"The clan leader has something to do with me. It's almost time. I'll go take a look," Zhu Yongyong stroked his sister's little head and told her, "Just play at home. If you're bored, you can go find your friends. Just don't leave the tribe."

"Okay," Zhu Yuanyuan nodded obediently.

After the eldest brother left, he immediately found his animal skin dress, transformed into a human form, and went out with a small backpack on his back.

She was going to plant sweet potatoes. This time, the seeds had passed through the open road, so there was no need to plant them secretly, and it didn't matter if others saw her.

Zhu Yuanyuan habitually ran to the river, intending to find a piece of land with soft soil that could be cultivated to plant sweet potatoes. However, she found that many older orcs were digging the land, and the leader was the old patriarch who stole her potatoes.

The words had been spoken, and it was too late to regret. She could only stand at attention and promised in childish words, "Elders, don't worry, I will definitely plant sweet potatoes as soon as possible. If I can't..."

"What you said is quite strange," Zhu He thought for a moment and decided decisively, "Just do what you say!"

"Actually, I don't have much experience," Zhu Yuanyuan excused modestly, "Old patriarch, you can look at the land where potatoes are grown in front of you, as long as it's about the same."

The old patriarch is very cunning and always deceives the cubs, but she doesn't buy it.

The newly reclaimed land is still a little different. It will be enough to dig some silt by the river to cover the original mud.

Zhu Yuanyuan directly described this kind of behavior in three words, "Shameless!"

Zhu Yuanyuan thought for a while and worded her words carefully, "What I mean is that we have no experience in growing sweet potatoes and don't know how to breed and promote seedlings. We must observe more and if one type doesn't work, just change it to another."

<divclass="contentadv">Zhu He frowned, "Can't we grow potatoes?"

"Yeah, you're right," Zhu Yuanyuan nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

Is this the time for a long trip?

There was no need for her family to play tricks, so she asked abruptly, "Brother, where are you going?"

Zhu He felt that the cub in front of him seemed too narcissistic, while Zhu Yuanyuan thought that the old patriarch was more like a cunning fox orc.

"Okay," Zhu He didn't mind. He stroked his beard cheerfully, "Yuanyuan is considerate. I'm old, so I should rest more."

A group of relatively strong old orcs looked at Zhu Yuanyuan longingly, which put a lot of pressure on her, and she actually regretted her offer just now.

"It's so hot. I want to go home and drink some water." Zhu Yuanyuan took off the basket and poured the sweet potatoes on the ground. "The seeds are given to you, the old patriarch. Take good care of them. Don't be greedy."

No matter what he was thinking in his heart, he still had to pretend to appreciate the other person on his face. After exchanging business blows, it turned out that the old patriarch, a native, was not thick-skinned enough and changed the subject first.

Zhu Yuanyuan was stunned for a moment after hearing this, "It turns out that we have to trade prey."

When Zhu Yuanyuan arrived home, she found that her eldest brother, who had been called by the clan leader, had returned before her and was packing a piece of soft sheepskin as a gift.

Zhu Yongyong couldn't help laughing when he heard this, "Of course, salt is very precious and we can't let it go in vain."

The smile on Zhu He's face widened, "You also have good taste."

"You have good taste, there must be no problem," Zhu Yuanyuan praised without hesitation.

The old clan leader didn't ask if he could eat it. Instead, he used Zhu Yuanyuan's previous test planting rhetoric and tried to get the sweet potato to belong to the tribe.

"Then how many days are you going to be out?"

"It's hard to say," Zhu Yongyong thought for a while, "it will take at least a month. It will take a lot of time just to travel, and you have to hunt some prey along the way for exchange.

"You can try it," Zhu Yuanyuan certainly wouldn't give a negative answer, "It's just that potatoes and sweet potatoes are not the same kind of fruit, and the planting methods are not necessarily the same. I want to try a few more to find the most suitable one."

Just as the old patriarch was thinking about how to solve the problem at hand, Zhu Yuanyuan suddenly changed his mind, "I can leave it to you to test the seeds, but I want to participate in it, and you can't stop me from doing the experiment."

The smile on the old clan leader's face gradually stiffened. He was also distressed. If an adult orc found a new food, he would automatically hand it over to the clan without him having to say anything, and it happened to be a five-year-old female cub.

Zhu Yuanyuan secretly made a mistake. After the old patriarch lost her left arm, she abdicated immediately. I guess she was not someone who cared about power. What she said was pure nonsense.

"Yuanyuan is here," Zhu He said with a smile on his serious face, "Please help us see how the land we have plowed is doing and whether it is suitable for growing potatoes."

"What kind of fruit is that with a round back? I seem to have never seen it before."

"This is a fruit dug in the forest. I call it sweet potato," Zhu Yuanyuan said with her eyes open, and then added, "I don't know if you have seen it or not."

"No, salt doesn't come from boiling sea water in a big pot," Zhu Yuanyuan blurted out, and when she realized she had said something wrong, she quickly patched it up, "I heard someone say this when I was digging sweet potatoes in the forest."

Not only the old clan leader thought so, but other orcs present had the same idea, and they all said, "Yuanyuan, you can plant whatever you think. We listen to you."

Zhu He suddenly realized, "I said I had never seen them before. It turns out they were dug out of the soil. Did you bring them to the river to give them to me for trial planting?"

"Go to the beach," Zhu Yongyong said without hiding it. "There isn't much salt left in the tribe and it won't survive the snow season. It just so happened that the Flying Tiger tribe also wanted to buy salt, so we made an appointment to go with them so that we can help each other on the way."

Potatoes and sweet potatoes are Zhu Yuanyuan's things. She can grow potatoes with a lot of effort, and she can grow sweet potatoes as well.

The old man and the young looked at each other for a few seconds, all lost in thought.

I was speechless for a while, and then I couldn't help but laugh, "I'll leave the digging to the elders, see you tomorrow."

After saying goodbye, there was no further delay, and he left with an empty basket on his back.

Zhu He nodded, "I found it based on the appearance of the land."

After he paused for a few seconds, he pouted and said, "In the future, if I find new food to eat, I will give it directly to the clan leader."

The old patriarchs in Zhu Yuanyuan's impression were all serious and old-fashioned, how could they be as lively as they are now.

"What is an experiment?" Zhu He asked without understanding.

Stealing food from an ignorant cub will make people laugh out loud if word spreads about it.

Zhu He nodded, "Okay, I definitely won't eat it secretly."

Zhu Yongyong knew that sweet potatoes were a new food that his sister had just discovered today, but he did not dare to think that salt could be obtained by boiling dried seawater.

If salt could really be boiled, it wouldn't be so difficult for everyone to replace it.

After sitting distractedly for a long time, Zhu Yongyong threw away the pack of animal skins he had packed and stammered, "I'll go find the clan leader to discuss it."
