Orcs through the age

Chapter 26 Let's Work Together Together

We did a lot of things in winter, but Rona and Ari were the happiest. They didn't have to do anything, and Rona would exercise with Luo Lei every day.Ari's daily routine is to pester me to act like a baby, and then ask me to make delicious food for him. Well, I admit that I enjoy it too, because I can eat whatever I want, and then tell Luo Lei that because Ari wants to eat, Although the only thing you can eat is sweet potato chips, it is really expensive, but it is delicious (people who haven’t eaten snacks for a long time say they can’t afford it).

So, Ari later became a foodie with an unusually high enthusiasm for finding edible things. Fortunately, we also taught him many other things. Otherwise, I was really worried that he would find his own. companion.

Raleigh has always been tolerant of me, except for one thing.One day when he couldn't bear it anymore, I still solved it for him with my hands, so he gradually stopped thinking about it, because as long as he pestered me more, I would always solve it for him with my hands. And it has recently developed into legs.Maybe one day, he will be completely satisfied, which is hard to say.I thought sadly, how many pure girls fell from kissing and touching?Well, I admit that I said too much, this is not the anti-wolf education station...

We also made a lot of stone hoes, stone harrows and sickles in winter, but I don't know how effective they are.I don't know much about ore prospecting. Even if I have ore, I don't know how to smelt it.So this can only be developed by future generations, and now we can only use wood, stone and bone tools.

Fortunately, the stones and bones of some animals here are actually very good for making tools, especially the kind of iron wood (not iron tree, but wood close to iron), even if it is made of wooden knives, it is also very good to use, If it is sharp enough, it can cut meat not much worse than a kitchen knife, and it can be used as an axe, but it takes a lot of effort to make one.There is also a kind of stone here, whether it is hardness or toughness, it can be used to make stone knives. Give it to the head of our family, Luo Lei.

I think our veteran revolutionary cadres used to make revolution with two kitchen knives, but now I really want two kitchen knives.But with the help of these not very convenient tools, we also prepared a lot of wood for the fence.

Although there are fewer and fewer animals in the vicinity, we still want to avoid those who come over and ruin the things we plant. In addition, we must raise more animals in recent years. The rows of small sheds alone are definitely not enough, and the whole It is also not conducive to the growth of animals to keep them in the shed.So we built a circle of fences nearer to the clan to use as a breeding pen.In the future, only chickens, ducks, rabbits, cattle, sheep, wild boars, etc. will be raised in the small shed, and they will be free-range. In late spring, summer and autumn, there is no need to cut grass.The reason for this is that the people here still mainly eat meat, noodles and vegetables are supplementary foods, and it is easier to catch them at a closer distance, and at the same time avoid their contact with wild ones, and they can also produce them. The fertilizer is discharged into the rear planting circle, which is convenient for planting in the future.

Because it is a leisurely winter, you can still warm up for work, and everyone is willing to do some work, and there are a lot of planks, stakes, and wooden nails prepared.We still have a lot of flax at home, and I also taught the females of the Raleigh tribe how to twist it into rope, which is ready to be used to strengthen the fence.Therefore, Luo Lei was very honored to become a female friend, and many people came to him because of how the rope was woven and so on.

But obviously this guy doesn't want to do this. Generally, his answer can be summed up in four words: "Yes", "Yes", "No", and "Redo".It made those little females who wanted to say a few more words to the patriarch very depressed.As for the older ones, they will give them to me and ask me to evaluate them.Although I can't rub the hemp rope, I'm much better than Luo Lei in the comments and complaints!So the females finally took refuge in my arms. (Luo Lei's dead light shot: what future do the two subjects have together?)

In late February, when some greenery began to appear on the plain, all the members of the clan circled a circle about 50 meters wide on the slopes around the tribe, and built several large ones in the breeding circle. Cattle and sheep sheds and wild boar sheds are to prevent cattle and sheep from eating when the grass roots just grow in spring. In the future, grass will not grow on the grass. These animals are tied up in winter and early spring when the grass is not long. Getting up to feed hay is also for domestication, so as not to change their wildness after a long period of time.

A planting circle with a width of about 300 meters was opened outside the breeding circle, which was also fenced, so that the sowing area would be about 100 mu, and a crop rotation system was planned.Of course, every 100 meters around the tribe, there are roads about two meters wide that can be dispersed into the breeding and planting circles, so the breeding circles and land are divided into small semi-circles of 100 meters by [-] meters.A straight and spacious road was left at the gate of the tribe to lead directly to the plain outside.Even the watchtower that was originally in the clan has been moved to the outer gate, so that the clan looks like a fortress.

It took a long time.Although we didn't use the very tight piling method to lay the wooden piles this time, we still cut down nearly [-] big trees because the piles are relatively long. Because the trees were cut in winter, I asked the males to cut down the trees I also paid attention to collecting the tree species of these trees. After the children carefully selected the full tree species, let each male in the clan plant a few seeds in the place where the tree was cut when the land began to thaw in spring, and let them When they were piling, they planted one or two tree seeds next to the stumps every two stumps.

If these trees grow, they can be both a windbreak and a natural hedge.The remaining tree species were turned into beasts by Luo Lei and scattered in the air in the forest where we cut down the trees. As for how many can grow, it depends on luck.It took about a month from laying piles to digging the ground.It can be seen how difficult it is to do this kind of work for the first time. I hope everyone will be more proficient next year.

At the end of March, as soon as the field was opened, we rushed to sprinkle the soaked soybeans and rapeseed. In early April, we planted barley and wheat, and in mid-April we planted cotton and potatoes. At the end of April, the sweet potatoes were also planted in the ground. Of course, the sweet potato seedlings and potato seedlings were dug from those few fields by the tribe.Our family also provided some.This year, the time is relatively short, because the land was opened temporarily, and there is not much fertilization in the soil, because there is no fertilizer here, but when the land is turned, the dried grass of last year was burned into plant ash, added water and turned it to the bottom to rot for a while. that is.In order to burn the grass, we turned the land a few meters more, and then simply dug some water to divert the water from the creek to make a canal, which I didn't expect at first.

In order to store fertilizer, we built a few public toilets downwind of the tribe, and dug a few ditches behind the toilets to collect them in several septic tanks dug behind the breeding pens to facilitate fertilizer storage. We only plan to plant more than half of the land , dug a few septic tanks in the remaining half of the land, gathered these natural fertilizers, and after this year's harvest, I will fill the pits here to store fertilizer and plant the land next year, and open pits there next year. For septic tanks.

There are [-] mu of barley and wheat, [-] mu of sweet potato and potato, [-] mu of rapeseed, [-] mu of soybean, and [-] mu of cotton. Tired and paralyzed!I want to guide them in planting, and am I being called by them to show them how they are planting? I am too tired to move my legs every day!Basically in the end it was Roy who carried me back.Even cooking is guided by Luo Lei, while I myself live a life of talking but not doing.Even so, this day can not be said to be better than the gods. The road I walked during the day really distressed me.

Except for the barley and wheat seedlings kept by the family, some of the sweet potatoes and potatoes were transplanted from the forest, and the other seeds were basically provided by our family.Everyone is somewhat confused about growing cotton.But out of trust in me, I still planted it. I also told them that we want to live a better life this year. Of course, the main mobilization work was done by Luo Lei. I found that he is still more effective in managing and mobilizing those people. Talent, even if it is about the same, he is always more convincing.

This year we have basically planted about 450 mu of land including those vegetables. All non-hunting people over the age of six have to manage an average of six or seven mu of land. Fortunately, those males will get up in the morning to manage the land. We will go hunting in the afternoon, and we have adopted an extensive management method for the field. Although we are busy, we can still manage it.If we want to plant more land, it is estimated that we have to expand the tribe.Therefore, I think we can only guard this area for the time being, because the population is really small.

Looking at some articles, it can be tribal wars or something at every turn, I am really powerless.At present, the tribes here, a tribe of more than a hundred people, together with Xiao Maotou, is like two families fighting, and they are fighting for wool!According to Luo Lei, even if there are conflicts between different tribes, a duel will be adopted, and then the loser will admit defeat and discuss matters.It hasn't happened yet that everyone fights together (they don't even have the word war).You see, I can't even think about pointing out the country, talking and laughing while the mast and scull fly into ashes!People are more popular than people!

Because the family grows barley, wheat and rapeseed, these crops are not easy to take care of at home, so I only planted one acre of sweet potatoes and one acre of potatoes at home, and then planted pumpkins, loofahs, radishes, onions, ginger, Things like onions and garlic.Everyone here didn’t have a pot before, so they didn’t like to eat these things very much. Now everyone has clay pots and the like, and they are more interested in these things, especially pumpkin, radish and ginger, so everyone comes to my place again After asking for some seeds, every household also planted some vegetables behind the house. Everyone also discovered a lot of new vegetables, and they are all trying.According to the current form, one day we will need a dining table, and at that time, we will also have a dedicated kitchen. In such a cycle, I found that even the house has to be replaced!This is the so-called butterfly effect?

Now the males go to the fields in the morning to patrol and hunt in the afternoon, while the females work in the fields in the afternoon and stay at home in the morning.Although busy, everyone worked hard for the harvest.Last year, everyone also discovered that now with the addition of gnocchi and vegetable soup, the meat can be saved by about half. This is also a good source of food, and you don’t have to worry about eating it up, because we can grow it ourselves, and it will germinate every year. And harvesting, the speed is faster than raising large animals, and the grassland will grow every year, so there is no need to worry about it disappearing.

But even so, we still have to raise more and more animals, because even if females can fill more than half of their stomachs with vegetables, noodles and sweet potatoes, for those males who can turn into beasts, they have at least Half of the meat is still needed. For them, these things are just auxiliary materials, and meat is the staple food.So I think, this place will probably become a place like the West, but look at it, the outlines of the people here are relatively deep, even my own body, and the climate here is more suitable for the life of such people.Therefore, it is not unreasonable to say that the difference between races is formed by the influence of climate.
