Prehistoric Widows Survival [Farming]

The next day when Lu You went out, he saw people from the tribe gathering together to bid farewell to the two orcs who had gone out to exchange salt.

Although the leader and Jiao had an accident because of changing the salt, salt is an indispensable thing in the daily life of the tribe, even if there is danger, they have to step out.

In the process of fighting against the perilous nature, the orcs have long been accustomed to the sudden departure of people around them. Even if they are sad and cry, they still have to move forward after wiping away their tears.

Survival is the only wish of the orcs in this era.

The original body never dared to show up on such occasions because of autistic fear, so when Lu Er appeared in the crowd with the kitten in his arms, he attracted a lot of surprised eyes.

Lu You turned a blind eye to those suspicious, hostile, or indifferent eyes, and only looked up at the two orcs who were about to set off.

Lie Hezhong was similar to the influence he usually saw in the tribe, except that he wore an extra layer of animal skin and carried a few bone weapons on his back.

There are many things that can be exchanged for salt, but the most convenient thing is the prey - you don't need to carry it with you all the time, just go to the tribe where you exchange it and exchange it.

Lu Wei was very unfamiliar with these things, and stood aside watching them with great interest; on the contrary, Xiao Mi in her arms looked at the direction where Lie and Zhong left, and a trace of thought flashed across the cat's face.

——Chonghelie...it seems like he went to the Heihe Tribe?

The Heihe tribe is the largest trading tribe in the nearby area, and the order and price are relatively reasonable, but the distance is a bit far away.In the past, salt was exchanged in the Heihe tribe.

Now Zhong Helie is planning to go to a nearby tribe to exchange salt?

A trace of disapproval flashed in Cat Zai'er's eyes.

Although the nearby tribes are close, but because they are not far apart, the hunting range and gathering range overlap, and there is usually a lot of friction. If you go to change salt now, wouldn't you be cheated?

It's just that it's just a speechless cat now, and Chong and Lie are already on their way, so it's too late to say anything now.

Xiao Mi looked at the direction in which Zhong Zhong and Lie left with some regret: I hope they don't get caught too badly.

……

Compared with the kitten in his arms, Lu Er's considerations are much simpler.

He intends to teach Baixu how to grow ginger.

On the one hand, although ginger cannot be eaten directly, it has good effects in seasoning, anti-inflammatory, and cold-dispelling. It can even be said to be a natural herbal medicine. the earth is bigger

On the other hand, although the ginger that Lu Er worked so hard to cultivate satisfies his own urge to improve crops, he does not want these high-yield varieties to be buried just like that.

When Lu Er brought up the concept of "planting" to Baixu, to Lu Er's expectation, Baixu actually knew some knowledge about planting plants.

"Actually, some people in the tribe saw that some wild fruits or wild vegetables grew well, and thought about planting them in the tribe." Baixu sighed while roasting the meat on the bonfire, "It was only later that I found out that Most of those vines or wild vegetables planted near the tribe died; those who survived by chance, even if they were taken care of every day, did not bear much fruit in the end. Over time, everyone gave up."

The soil quality near the Redwood Tribe is indeed mediocre, and Lu Yi knows this too, but he is still a little puzzled: "It's better to have results than nothing, why not plant more?"

"If you have the time to take care of it day and night, why don't you just go out and collect it." Baixu shook his head, and turned the barbecue on the campfire, "Besides, there are also a lot of food from the front horns and the leader's hunting, which is thankless. , no one will do it.”

This answer sort of clears up the question that has been bothering Lu Yi: Why has the germ of primitive agriculture not yet been born in this small tribe, or is it because orcs are different from humans, they can transform into wild beasts to hunt, and they have a unique advantage in hunting. When the cost-effectiveness of planting wild plants is extremely low, food sources will naturally rely more on hunting by orcs.

Lu Er has never seen orcs hunting with his own eyes, but from a macro and long-term perspective, the development of agriculture is an important basis for liberating the labor force and increasing the population. Fishing and hunting that completely depend on nature will be gradually replaced by aquaculture.Instead of risking your life to fight and hunt, shift the center of development to the use and optimization of tools, so that you can gradually develop agriculture and industry and lay the foundation for social development.

The primitive humans on the earth had to start from low-yield wild crops, and it took a long time to breed them from generation to generation; then, what about the tribes in the orc world?

Lu You pondered for a while, and found that his spirit water ring has unique advantages in accelerating plant growth and improving breeding. It is absolutely possible to cultivate crop varieties with qualified yields first, and then promote planting.

Imagining the golden crops all over the mountains and fields, and the picture of loofahs and cucumbers crawling in the vegetable gardens of every household, Lu You couldn't help feeling a little excited.

——I applied for the agricultural science examination because I love such a harvest and rich scenery?

Of course, there is still a long way to go from that stage.

After all, the current concept in the tribe is still "planting is useless".

After traveling over, Lu You has been obsessed with improving breeding and petting cats. So far, he is only familiar with Baixu's family, so he plans to promote planting from Baixu.

Knowing that the things that Lu Er used to heal the wounds were grown by himself, Baixu was very surprised; after hearing Lu Er's suggestion to let him plant them himself, Baixu was a little hesitant: "But, I used to try Everything I planted..."

From Lu's point of view, the previous failure of white beard transplantation was either because the roots were damaged or the land was not enough.

He has enough experience to solve these two problems, and said confidently: "Don't worry, I can solve this."

Plant ash, and the soil mixed with humus in the bushes, simply dug up one or two square meters of land behind the tent of Baixu's family, mixed these natural fertilizers, and finally sprinkled water to fully mix the land and fertilizer.

Afterwards, Lu Er took out the ginger seeds he had cultivated and instructed Baixu to plant the ginger.

Bai Xu listened to Lu You's logical and well-organized explanation, and looked at the almost neat small vegetable field behind his tent. For some reason, he also felt a faint sense of satisfaction in his heart. He turned around and asked with a smile: "Green ear , I didn't expect you to know so much?"

Lu You was still immersed in the satisfaction of opening up a new vegetable plot, and after hearing this sentence, she couldn't help but shiver and wake up.

——Is he, is his identity suspected?

If it is found out that he is not the original body himself, I am afraid that it is good to be expelled from the tribe, maybe he will be framed and burned to death!The ignorance and darkness of the primitive age are far stronger than those of the later ages!

Lu Er's heartbeat accelerated slightly, and Xiao Mi, who was lying on his chest, felt it, raised her head slightly, and pawed up her soft paws twice, trying to see Lu Er's expression.

A lot of thoughts ran through my mind quickly, and finally Lu Wei calmed down, and replied calmly: "I used to stay by myself and study it secretly."

"Are you alone?" Baixu was a little curious. After thinking about it, he rarely saw Lu Er outside. Everyone said that Lu Er was hiding at home, being lazy and refusing to go out. Could it be that Lu Er was secretly studying by himself? Grow plants?

This is what Lu Er wanted.

Yuanzheng was kept at a respectful distance by most people in the tribe, plus Yuanzheng was autistic and did not go out, I am afraid that only Yuanzheng's family members really knew that Yuanzheng was huddled at home.

Then he leads others to think that he sneaks out every day to study farming, and most people are not sure whether what he said is true or not.

——As for the original body's family members... Anyway, the words are not dead, let's round up the thinking simulation talent players at that time.

At least for now, the effect of this lie is not bad, Baixu seems to have no doubts at all.

Lu You was slightly relieved, only Xiao Mi, lying on her chest and listening to the whole heartbeat fluctuation, let out a noble and cold "meow".

……

Under Bai Xu's meticulous care and Lu Er's daily dressing changes and checks, Yong's injuries gradually recovered.

Lu Er suggested that Yong usually eat more foods that can supplement calcium, such as cooked meat and bone soup.He saw a lot of prey hung up to dry in the tent of Baixu's house. It was said that they were kindly sent by other orcs, and many of them still had bones. It would be most beneficial if they were stewed and eaten by Yong.

"Bone soup?" Baixu smiled wryly and pointed to the bonfire at his house, "We don't have a stone pot at home."

Lu You was taken aback for a moment.There was a heavy and rough stone pot in the tent he was in, and he remembered that Yuan's own house also had it, so he thought every household had it.

"The stone is so hard, it's not so easy to dig it into a pot. Only the leader or Jiao can do it. There are only two pots in the tribe now, one is at the leader's house, and the other is at Jiao's place."

Lu Er nodded thoughtfully, and suggested that Baixu could go to his tent and borrow a stone pot to cook soup.

He had also borrowed the stone pot from the chief or Jiao's house before, but of course Baixu would not refuse, and quickly went to Lu Yi's house with the meat.

It's just that Lu Er was helpless to find that Baixu's concept of cooking soup was to throw the meat directly into the pot, then add water to boil, and add a little salt at most.

The taste cooked in this way is even more unpalatable than fat meat boiled in water.

Unable to tolerate food being wasted in front of his own eyes, when Baixu came over for the second time, Lu Er stopped Baixu from cooking the meat directly, and wanted the animal meat in Baixu's hand, took it to the stream to wash off the blood on the surface, and took When you come back, marinate with scallion and ginger for a while, and roast it slightly on the fire to let a layer of burnt yellow meringue condense on the surface of the animal meat, then put it in the pot and simmer, and after the high heat is boiled, turn it to a low heat, and cover it in a stone pot Put a lid on and let the meat and bones simmer slowly in the stone pot.

The broth stewed in this way always exudes a very strong and mellow aroma during the stew, so that Baixu and Xiao Mi, who were standing by the side, stared at the stone pot and swallowed their saliva.

——What's going on, how can this broth be so fragrant?
