Traveling through the world of beasts: Lingquan space has some fields

The hunting team left, and Blackrock City had its own arrangements.

Blackrock City has opened up several thousand acres of wasteland, which sounds like a lot, but for the orcs in the city, each person has less than one acre, and the food grown is far from enough for the orcs to eat for a whole winter.

Qiao Xin has calculated that if wheat and corn are still the staple food, supplemented by animal meat, cabbage, chestnuts, potatoes and other grains, an adult orc would need at least two acres of land to barely get enough food during the winter.

It is not enough to just keep food for the winter, because there are still four or five months from spring plowing to summer harvest, so basically you have to keep food for a year.

By this calculation, each person needs to cultivate at least ten acres of land in order to fill their stomachs and still have some surplus food saved.

The geographical location of Black Rock City is further south than that of the Huaxia tribe, so winter wheat can be planted in winter. After this crop of wheat is harvested, they will immediately start sowing winter wheat, so that they can have an extra harvest next year.

With Qiao Xin's spiritual spring, all the seeds are of the best quality, which greatly improves the production capacity and there will be more surplus grain.

Compared with gathering, which is full of uncertainties, planting greatly reduces the pressure of hunting.

I believe that once everyone becomes familiar with planting and learns how to fertilize the fields, the yield will increase.

The thing that the Orc Continent lacks the least is land. Due to the tight schedule this year, most of the manpower has been put into the construction of the city. Once the city construction is completed, these people will be withdrawn. I believe that more land will be reclaimed for planting next year.

There is no greater sense of accomplishment than solving the problem of food and clothing for all people within two years.

With Qiao Xin in charge, some wheat that had matured early outside Blackrock City had officially entered the prelude to autumn harvest.

Without so many sickles, everyone used bone knives, stone knives, and even the sharp claws used by orcs, just to bring the heavy, delicious wheat from the fields into the city.

Qiao Xin spent half a day handling various affairs in Black Rock City and half a day doing personal matters.

After Qiao Xin finished counting the work points again, she looked at the wicker baskets filled with wood chips and closed her eyes with a headache. Just bending over to pick up the wood chips every day gave her back pain, and they were not light in weight, making them difficult to find.

Qiao Xin once again came up with the idea of ​​making paper and started to work.

Paper is made of plant fibers. All plants contain fibers and can be used to make paper. Qiao Xin does not want to cut down trees, so he can use tree bark.

Qiao Xin went to the furniture shop and found Ma Tian.

Ma Tian was very surprised by Qiao Xin's arrival. He rubbed his hands honestly, thinking that she was going to create something new again, but it turned out that she just wanted to take away the bark they had dried and used as firewood.

"Master Qiao Xin, these tree barks are not easy to burn. Take the wood scraps that were sawed off over there."

Qiao Xin knew that Ma Tian had misunderstood, "I didn't use the bark as firewood, I had other uses for it."

Ma Tian did not ask any more questions. Black Stone City was not a Chinese tribe. There were many people here and many gossips. What Lord Qiao Xin was going to do could often bring great benefits, so it was better not to ask if he could avoid it.

Qiao Xin took away a cartload of tree bark, pulled it into the yard, and threw it into the pool in the backyard to soak.

This soaking lasted for more than ten days. More and more crops matured in the fields. At the same time, the weather entered late autumn. Some people's hands and feet were frozen, and there was thick clouds in the sky.

After leaving the hunting team, Qiao Xin started to plant cotton in her space. Now she no longer picks it herself. Once it is ripe, she pulls it out with the roots and throws it to the textile workshop for processing.

Qiao Xin stirred the bark in the pond with a stick and chatted with Mao Bai, who was sitting on the corridor making clothes.

Several kittens were climbing up and down in the yard, and the bone needles scratched the cats' white hair. "If it gets colder, we'll have to wear animal skins."

Qiao Xin put down the stick in his hand, went to the administrative building, found the account book and checked the inventory of animal skins, cloth and cotton.

After reading it, he silently put down the account book. It was impossible for each person to have two cotton-padded jackets, but one jacket was possible. However, there was still a shortage of animal skins.

I hope I can bring back a lot of animal skins from this hunt.

The next day, everyone saw the notice in the square, which said that three work points could be exchanged for one pound of cotton, and two work points could be exchanged for one meter of cloth.

Qiao Xin has calculated that for an adult orc, a cotton jacket weighing two kilograms is enough, and for a cub, one kilogram is enough. With the points that the residents currently have, it is completely affordable.

"Lord Lu Min, what is the purchase restriction?" an orc asked Lu Min, who was standing under the notice and answering questions for illiterate orcs.

Lu Min rolled his eyes at the man and said, "Don't call me sir. The only sir in Black Stone City is sir Qiao Xin."

The man apologized profusely.

Lu Min was too lazy to argue with this group of people. "It means that you can only buy as much cotton and cloth as your family has. You can't buy more. Each adult orc can buy four kilograms of cotton and three meters of cloth, and each cub can buy two kilograms of cotton and two meters of cloth."

"I can't sew either!"

They are no longer the Hu Xia Amon of the past. No matter who they are, they have seen the ready-to-wear styles of Mao Bai's store in the store, and every day Qiao Xin walks around the city wearing different styles of clothes, and everyone has already been attracted.

Lu Min sighed, "If you can't sew, find someone who can. Don't gather here. Cotton and cloth are limited. Those who are interested have already left. If you keep gathering here, the cotton and cloth will have been redeemed long ago."

Upon hearing this, the people who were gathered around the notice dispersed and ran towards the warehouse, fearing that if they ran too slowly, all the cotton and cloth would be exchanged.

Lu Min sighed lightly, turned around and went back to report.

Lu Lin in the warehouse ushered in the peak period of work and was extremely busy.

After Qiao Xin registered the grain that was put into the warehouse today, she looked at Lu Min who came to report, "How is it?"

Lu Min stood up straight, "That's great, everyone is happy to exchange it."

Qiao Xin nodded slightly, "Try to make cotton-padded jackets for everyone after the autumn harvest. The weather is getting colder. Arrange for the workshop at the school to make cotton-padded jackets for the children."

A cotton-padded jacket is only to ensure that you are not cold, but you should also put on animal skins or quilts for sleeping as soon as possible.

After Qiao Xin finished her work here, she went to the textile workshop, took back the peeled cotton seeds, and went to find Lu Ming.

Lu Ming, who works in the fields all day long, has seen his white bark from last year turned into wheat color. He stands in the field, watching everyone bending over to harvest, and feels a sense of satisfaction in his heart. This is what a comfortable life is like.

"Deer Ming."

Hearing someone calling him, Lu Ming turned around and saw Qiao Xin a few steps away, "Master Qiao Xin, why are you here?"

The crops that were ripened by high-level wood-related abilities have been harvested, and what remains are some that were ripened by low-level abilities.

"The land has been harvested. The next step is to carry the organic fertilizer from the toilet to the land and spread it. I have some cotton seeds here. If anyone wants to plant them, they can come to me and get them. What they grow will belong to them."

"Do you need work points?"

"Yes, but not many. One work point can get one hundred."

"Okay, I'll inform everyone."

"They can't plant it in the wild. The weather is too cold and it's not suitable. They should bring soil in rattan baskets and plant it in their dormitories or homes. Half of the cotton they grow needs to be returned to the tribe."
