After entering the bird tribe, I want to farm

The earth turns green, and the wilderness is green.

Bai Wu and Nanyao went out to pick wild vegetables that day, and the wild vegetables just sprouted some green shoots, fresh and tender, with almost no bitter taste, the wild vegetables they picked don’t need to be cooked, just blanch them in water and mix them with seasonings, the taste is very delicious good.

Baiwu eats all kinds of wild vegetables, and has the illusion of chewing spring in his mouth. It tastes very seasonal and wild.

There are only a few days when the wild vegetables are fresh. After these few days, the wild vegetables will grow rapidly, become old and bitter, and can no longer be eaten. They must hurry up and pick more wild vegetables while they are still fresh and tender. .

It doesn't matter if the wild vegetables can't be eaten for a while, they can be blanched and dried in the sun, they can be marinated in a jar, or they can be dried directly.

These wild vegetables are ready, and when they are green and yellow in April and May, they can take out all kinds of dried pickled vegetables and eat them.

"Master Wu—Master Priest—"

When they were picking wild vegetables on the hill, Bai Wu suddenly heard a voice, as if someone was calling them.

With a flick of his ears, he raised his head to look around, and then at Nanyao.

Nan Yao also raised his head and said with certainty: "It's not an illusion, someone is calling us."

Bai Wu looked around, "Is there a bird tribe gathering nearby?"

Bai Wu straightened up, poked his head away from the bushes and looked outside, but he didn't see the bird people nearby.

"here--"

He heard someone shouting, but could not find the source of the sound.

Just wondering, Nan Yao pinched the back of his neck, pointed to the valley below the hill, "the other side."

Only then did Bai Wu look at the other side of the river in the direction he pointed.

The river valley was already far away from them, and it was covered by vegetation, no wonder he couldn't see it clearly at the first time.

Looking at it now, Bai Wu realized that there was a large group of people and birds on the other side of the river. Because the white birds were too huge, they looked a little dreamy when standing in the wasteland with a rein hanging on their bodies and pulling the plow.

They are Bai people.

The people on the other side of the river jumped up and waved to them desperately. Seeing that Bai Wu had spotted them, a sub-orc man put his hand around his mouth in the shape of a trumpet, "Master Wu, are you out to collect wild vegetables?"

"Yeah, what are you doing over there?"

"Open up wasteland!" The enthusiastic voices of the sub-orcs came, "The patriarch said that it is more convenient to open up wasteland along the river to grow vegetables."

"So that's how it is. My family's vegetable field is not far away. If you continue to open up wasteland on our side, maybe our land can still be connected."

"We know that the patriarch brought people over to help you plow the land just now. Mr. Wu, when we opened up the wasteland, we found a lot of wild vegetables and fruits. Come here and get some later."

"Ah? Why did you help us plow the land? You don't need to give us wild vegetables, we picked a lot today, you can take them back and eat—"

The distance between the two sides is too far, and it is actually not convenient to communicate.

Bai Wu and the sub-orcs at the foot of the mountain chatted back and forth and continued to work.

Bai Wu turned to Nan Yao and said, "I don't know what happened to them helping plow the fields? We'll go down and have a look later."

Nan Yao nodded.

Bai Wu looked down the mountain with his head, and said again: "I didn't expect that the land reclamation in the clan has already come here. There are so many wastelands opened this year."

Nan Yao said: "Last winter was so cold, after suffering from hunger and hunger, the enthusiasm for planting should be higher."

"Good thing. I still feel that planting is safer. If it all depends on collection, it basically depends on God's food. If God is willing to give food, he will naturally have a good life. If God is not willing to give food, it will be terrible. If you have a hand If you have feet, it is better to hold your destiny in your own hands. There are many things that can be planted now, and planting is better than gathering.”

After two years of development, they have obtained seeds for many crops.

Wheat, rice, bitter grass, cloth fruit, potato, radish, green root, pepper, noodle fruit, bamboo, lotus root, eggplant, green onion, ginger and garlic, mouth fruit, fat grass...From food crops to vegetables to cash crops, There are already many things that can be planted.

If they farm well, even if they don't go out to collect, they won't be hungry.

Bai Wu said: "Now the land is sparsely populated and the soil in the valley is fertile. You don't need to take too much care of it. You just need to open up a wasteland, scatter the seeds, pay attention to watering, and you will have a lot of harvest in a year."

Nan Yao agreed: "Farming the land can also save time to do something else."

"Like building a house?"

"Like building a house."

The two chatted all the way home.

When they got home, the family hadn't come back, and the two big wolves weren't there either.

"Yafu and the others haven't come back yet, let's go to the field to have a look?" Bai Wu searched around the house, then turned to look at Nanyao, "Just now they said that the tribe helped us cultivate the land."

"Let's go."

The advantage of having two little dolphins at home is that they don't have to fly by themselves when they go out, and the two little dolphins will carry them to where they want to go.

They went down to find two little dolphins.

Nan Yu and Bai Shui saw them immediately, and immediately floated out of the water as soon as they saw them, circling in the water, "Ling——"

"Good boy." Bai Wu squatted down and touched Bai Shui's head, put the animal skin rein on it, and then stretched his legs and sat on top of him, "Take us to the vegetable field."

"Ling!" Bai Shui nodded, with big round eyes, looking very docile, he turned his head and rubbed his long snout against Bai Wu's calf, signaling him to sit down.

Bai Wu smiled and patted its head again.

Nan Yao also sat down on Nan Yu, pulling the rein, "Let's go."

When the two little dolphins heard the command, they immediately turned their heads and swam quickly in the river with their tails flicking.

The vegetable field of their family is not very far from home, and they saw their own vegetable field and the clansmen busy in the vegetable field in a while.

Bai Wu originally thought that when his partners said they would come to help their family cultivate the land, they would send one or two people to help, but unexpectedly there were so many people, there were 13 people in the vegetable field.

Bai Wu's family hadn't officially started spring plowing yet, and his family members were not there. It was the patriarch Ya who took the lead.

When the tribesmen saw them, they smiled and greeted them, "Are you here? The land has been plowed for you, and the grass has been cleaned up. You can just sow seeds when you have time."

Bai Wu rolled over from Bai Shui, went ashore and said, "You are too polite? The tribe is so busy, you even came here to help us plow the fields."

Yayue came out and nodded to Bai Wu and Nanyao, "We are opening up wasteland nearby, and we don't have much work, it's easy."

"Thank you everyone." Bai Wu glanced at their house, then at Nanyao, and said to Ya, "It's too much trouble for everyone, I feel a little guilty."

"It's okay. You didn't find us bothering you when I was bothering you in winter. The land is plowed, so let's go back first."

"Hey, good. I'll send you off. By the way, patriarch, our family has two cattle for plowing the land. Since you have helped to plow the land, the cattle will be idle, or you will drive the cattle to open up wasteland?"

Ya hesitated for a moment, and a clansman beside him happily answered, "I've been greedy for your cattle for a long time. Will the farmland be useful if the cattle are not obedient?"

"It's easy to use. If you are not obedient, you can just press them to be obedient. Anyway, you have pierced your nose, and you are so strong. If you go up together, the bull should be stronger than you."

"Hahahaha, I don't need a few people, I can do it alone. Master Wu, what do you want to feed them, tender grass?"

"Tender grass is fine. If the plowing is too tiring, you can give them one or two bird eggs as a meal."

Seeing that everyone was very happy, Ya stopped pushing and refusing, "I'll go up early tomorrow to pick up the cows."

Wu readily agreed, "Okay. Then we will wait for you tomorrow morning."

The clansmen left.

Bai Wu and Nanyao took a look at the field. The clansmen helped them plow the land very carefully. Not only did they turn over all the land, but they also smashed up the big clods. Now their field has become soft. And fluffy.

Maybe it's been raining a lot lately, and the fields are plowed again, and the patches are like a good chocolate cake.

The land has been cultivated so well this year, and there is bound to be a bumper harvest.

Baiwu knelt down and twirled the soil, "This year, there is no need to apply base fertilizer. After two days, we will divide the ridges and then we can plant seeds."

"Sow the wheat first?"

"Yes, first plant wheat, potatoes, bitter grass, radishes...except for rice, we have to wait a little longer, and basically everything can be planted."

"After planting the seeds, I will start my inspection tour this spring."

"Go and come back quickly. I won't be patrolling with you this spring. I'll clean up the store."

The products in their store were sold out a few days ago, and even some trinkets used to decorate the shelves were replaced. They are actively preparing new goods these two days.

Today Chuan and the others went out to collect cool herbs and other materials for making soap.

The two took the porpoise to the river at the foot of the mountain, and then walked home.

Before they reached the mountain, Kishi had already noticed that they were back, and ran out to meet them, "Wu, Nanyao, just now the Eagles came over and asked if we could change the sauce, and they wanted to change some miso."

"Not yet, the bean paste is not cooked yet." Bai Wu pulled the straps of the basket with both hands, "Are they still there?"

"It's too late, I have already gone back, and I will come back tomorrow."

"Then let's talk about it tomorrow. I'm exhausted today." Bai Wu walked into the yard, waved to Nanyao, motioned him to sit down together, and then turned to call Chuan, "By the way, Yafu, the clansmen will help us today." The land has been plowed, and I will ask them to come and take the cattle to plow the land tomorrow."

Chuan came out of the kitchen, "Why do you suddenly help us plow the land?"

"They opened up wasteland and came to the vicinity. They saw that we hadn't plowed yet, so they helped us plow together."

"That's hard work everyone, next time you have to repay the debt, it's not easy for everyone, don't take advantage of the tribe."

"I know, first borrow the cattle to open up wasteland for them, and when we finish planting the seeds, see how many seeds are left, and send some of the seeds back to the tribe?"

"I can see it."

Bai Wu and the others have been busy digging wild vegetables for a while, so they temporarily put down the spring plowing.

Today everyone set off separately and came back from collecting a lot of wild vegetables. Bai Wu took a rest and started cleaning and picking wild vegetables. The family came to help.

They washed the wild vegetables, and took out an oil-free pot to boil the wild vegetables.

Not long after, their whole yard smelled of green wild vegetables.

After the wild vegetables are washed and blanched, they should be dried on a dustpan.

Now in spring, it is mostly cloudy every day. They are drying wild vegetables at home, so they have to leave someone to look after the house.

The process of sowing is relatively simple. The whole family works together to sow all the seeds in one day.

After sowing the seeds, Nanyao was going to inspect the territory, and Bai Wu took on the heavy responsibility of looking after the store, and also looked at the wild vegetables they were drying.

Bai Wu discovered that their Niaozu store had turned into a Niaozu store at some point.

He originally thought that only when traveling merchants came, they would carry out large-scale trading activities. Usually, it would be good if someone came up to buy things within three to five days, but he didn't expect that people would come to the door almost every day.

For this reason, Baiwu has specially increased the proportion of daily life commodities.

They used to go out to collect food. Because of the distance, most of the time they could only collect food near their homes. Since they opened a small shop, they can now buy special foods from various tribes. The dishes at home are much more abundant.

Compared with before opening small shops, their quality of life has improved a lot now.

Bai Wu stays at home for more days, and his family will take turns staying with him to watch the store.

It depends on whether the family wants to go out that day.

Of course, everyone spends a lot of time going out, and the wild in spring is very comfortable. Going out to hunt and gather is a kind of enjoyment.

This morning, Bai Wu took care of the shop at home and dried wild vegetables by the way.

He blanched a batch of new wild vegetables yesterday, and he needed to turn them over when drying to prevent the wild vegetables from becoming moldy due to uneven heating.

He was standing in front of the dustpan, and just as he was concentrating on turning over wild vegetables, a voice behind him stopped him, "Lord Wu."

"Ah?" Bai Wu shook her hands, turned her head to see Ya, and let out a soft breath, "Scared me. Patriarch, why didn't you go out hunting with everyone? Do you want to change something?"

Ya said: "I want to discuss something with you."

"What's the matter? So solemn?" Bai Wu put down the wild vegetables in his hands, called Ya to sit in front of the eaves, and said with a smile, "Come and drink tea."

"Thank you." Ya sat across from Bai Wu, "I heard that you have been at home looking after the store almost every day?"

"It's quite often. Sometimes my father and the others are watching the store, what's wrong?"

"It's like this. The eggs in the family have been hatched for a while, and they are full of vitality. They can proceed to the next stage."

Bai Wu didn't know much about hatching eggs, so she nodded blankly, motioning for Ya to continue.

Ya said: "Everyone is busy hunting and gathering now, and usually leave the eggs in the clan and ask the elders in the clan to take care of them. On the other hand, they are also starting to let the eggs receive edification."

Bai Wu half-understood, "Is there something wrong with the egg? Nanyao went out for inspection and will be back in two days."

"It's not a problem." Ya was embarrassed, "Everyone heard that you are at home almost every day, so they kind of want to keep the eggs with you. You are a wise man in the tribe..."

Bai Wu quickly interrupted him, "Wait, when did I become the wise man of the tribe?"

"You are." Ya is not very good at words, "Everyone hopes that the child inside the egg will be as smart as you when it comes out, let me come to you to discuss whether it is okay to keep the egg by your side."

"Is there such a thing?" Bai Wu felt his scalp go numb, waved his hand and refused, "I'm afraid not, I can't take care of so many eggs."

"You don't need to take care of them, just let them stay with you."

"That is to say, what if you accidentally hit it?"

That's an egg.

Notoriously fragile eggs.

There are cubs inside the egg, and if he is not careful, he will become the eternal sinner of the tribe.

Bai Wu imagined herself carefully playing with Dan Baobao, then waved her hand again, "I really can't do it."

The expression on Ya's face was a little surprised and a little disappointed.

Bai Wu said: "Other things I can help and I will try my best to help, but this is really not good."

Ya opened his mouth, but didn't say what he wanted to say. Finally, he just begged: "Why don't you think about it for a day? I'll come back tomorrow and wait for your reply."

Bai Wu muttered, "I don't think it's very good. It's not that I'm afraid of trouble. The main reason is that I'm afraid that I might accidentally break the egg."

"How did you hit it?" Ya was puzzled, "The egg is so strong."

"If you accidentally touch it, it's over?"

"No, they are already conscious and will consciously avoid danger. Besides, eggs are generally not broken, why don't I bring an egg over tomorrow for you to try?"

"...No need?"

Ya noticed his hesitation, and immediately seized the opportunity to say: "That's it, I'll go hunting first, and come back tomorrow."

Ya looked very worried about being rejected by him, and before he could respond, he quickly stepped back a few steps, changed back into a beast shape, and flew away. His back looked like he was running away.

Bai Wu blinked behind him, then looked down at her own hands, which didn't look like they could take care of Dan.

In the evening, as soon as Mo came back, he said to Bai Wu, "I saw the patriarch today, and he told me about asking you to watch the egg."

"Huh?" Bai Wu looked up at Mo, "Did he ask you to persuade me?"

"No." Mo shook his head, "He said go back and think about it, and found that you might have misunderstood Dan, let us explain to you."

Bai Wu is quite familiar with eggs. After all, he has passed so many bird eggs, and he is just an egg baby among the unfamiliar people.

Bai Wu scratched her head, "Father, what do you want to say?"

Mo seemed to be organizing his words silently. After a pause, he said, "The eggs we lay are different from the eggs we usually eat."

Bai Wu thought about it for a while, when he touched the egg last time, he could feel the heartbeat inside the egg, which was indeed different from the eggs he usually ate.He nodded approvingly.

Mo continued: "The eggs we lay are firmer."

That's for sure, anyway, the eggs are much bigger than usual, and they will be firmer anyway.

Bai Wu has no objection to this point.

Mo continued: "It's not difficult to take care of the eggs, just put them in a relatively fixed place and don't let them jump out."

"Such as putting it in a basket?"

"The basket is not good, they can roll out of the basket."

"???" Bai Wu asked, "Will the egg roll out automatically?"

"Some eggs are more naughty."

Chuan walked by and couldn't stand listening to the stumbling conversation between the father and son. He patted Mo on the shoulder, "Never mind talking about that."

After speaking, Chuan turned his head and said to Bai Wu: "Don't worry too much. In the tribe, taking care of the eggs is not too meticulous. Everyone has work to do. Even watching the eggs is just putting the eggs in a corner so that the eggs can hear everyone. Just talk and feel that everyone is doing something.”

Bai Wu nodded blankly.

Chuan Dao: "Do you know how many eggs have died due to improper care by the Bird people over the past few hundred years?"

"A dozen or so?"

"Not one." Chuan said, "Children are much safer in eggs than when they break out of their shells. You will know when the patriarch brings the eggs over tomorrow and let you touch them."

"How can it be safer than after coming out?"

"It's very safe. I can't tell. I'll let you feel it tomorrow. You can touch the egg with your own hands tomorrow, and then consider whether to refuse."
