Chapter 65 Busy Spring

All the work was carried out in an orderly manner according to the plan. Juan continued to be in charge of the pottery department. He was still in charge of the fine life pottery.

The apprentice Tao Weng, who was 14 years old, was let out of the valley alone to be responsible for the firing of the brick kiln. The firing of bricks is much simpler than that of pottery.

Dasong is older than him, and is responsible for the personnel arrangement and management of the brick kiln. The two cooperate and take care of each other.

It's just a lot of labor.

Originally there were a hundred or so people in the pottery department, and 80 people were transferred to him. The pottery department only left more than 20 skilled craftsmen to engage in the production of high-quality ceramics for daily life. population and food.

More than 20 strong women were transferred to the brick kiln to do the heavy work of billet making.

Women engaged in heavy physical work are treated like men with one catty of animal food and half a catty of plant food every day.

In order to solve the work of transporting heavy mud billets from the billet drying yard to the kiln mouth, He Qinghuan specially designed and manufactured a human-drawn cart for them, and used it on cattle to deliver goods in places with long distances.

The rest was left to the boys from the Engineering Machinery Department. He Qinghuan selected a boy named Trojan from among a group of kids who liked to play with machinery. He was also a [-]-year-old and a half-year-old boy, and he would soon be an adult.

The mason doesn’t have a name, because since his father started making stone tools, he has always been called a mason. Later, when the god envoy gave everyone a surname, he gave him the surname Shi, so he is still called a mason, but his son But the name given by the patriarch is Shi Chenguang, which is the morning sun. What a good name, the stonemason worked even harder.

Passed on his craft to his son, but his son didn't like to sit and beat stones all day long, but liked to hunt in the wilderness with the patriarch, not to mention that the tribe now has iron weapons, so they can start hunting It's even more exciting, it's much more interesting than hitting rocks.

Therefore, through the arrangement of the patriarch, the stonemason got a hundred or so warriors and half-grown children who couldn't run fast and couldn't work in the front line.

The stone that the patriarch asked to hit this time was based on the shape of the stone to make a plane for the foundation.

It is completely different from the stone pots, bowls, and mills of the past. This one is simple and easy to use, and soon the apprentices will be able to operate it independently.

Fei Fei and Da Xiong, who went on an expedition to cook salt, came back with a hundred baskets of salt.

By the way, I brought back an incomparable good thing, sugar cane, for the envoy of God.

Because God sent them to cook salt in a place far away from the mouth of the sea, they walked south along Xiaoyue Mountain until they could hardly see Xiaoyue Mountain before setting up camp.

While cooking salt, they live by hunting and fishing.

However, the salt yield rate of seawater here is worse than that of the cannibal tribe's lake, not at 01:30.

Half a pot of salt can be produced from one pot of water over there, and one pot of salt can be produced from three pots of water here. The efficiency is very low, so it took so much time.

Don't worry about eating, there are a lot of fish, sea vegetables, shells and other food in the sea by the sea.

Because the God Envoy once taught them how to distinguish between poisonous and five poisonous foods, that is, to feed the food to the small animals in the cage.

Therefore, they have a lot of seafood to eat. Except for a few kinds of evil jellyfish, poisonous creatures on the seaside generally do not come to the seaside.

Then, on the land half a day away from the sea, I found this kind of plant growing in patches. The leaves were all withered and yellow, and they were used to light a fire.

The pole was still very wet, and it tasted sweet to the bite, so I cut a lot and carried it back together. I also ate a lot on the way, and I feel that I have strength after eating.

Of course, sugar is one of the indispensable nutrients for the human body, and the sugar intake of primitive people is far from enough.

The gods made adults smile, don't eat the rest, and plant them all.

Take it to the food department and tell them how to grow it.

The time was just right, and the days of spring and flowers were getting warmer day by day. The God envoy began to teach the leaders how to farm the land.

This year, we will focus on reclaiming the wasteland at the foot of Xixia Mountain, and then gradually expand to the east. After the land is mature, it will be distributed to the nearest village.

At the beginning, they don’t know how to plant, so teach them first, and then they can open up wasteland by themselves in the future, so there is no need for gods to make adults follow them.

On the ground, oxen are used to plow the field, plowing it into a north-south furrow, throwing sugar cane along it, and covering it with soil.

Each piece of land is ten meters by 100 meters in the north-south direction, which is easy to manage and neat.

Dig a diversion canal in the middle of every two teams of such large plots, one is to prevent watering when there is drought, and the other is to drain waterlogging if it is flooded.

Every two plots were separated by soil ridges, and neat fields began to appear in the entire wasteland. The dug up red soil mixed with black plant ash became a brownish red color, which formed a sharp contrast with the surrounding green and fluffy grass.

Then the taro was planted in the same way.

But soybeans and wild rice can’t be like this. In such a deep soil, the seeds can’t dig out, or the seedlings will be weak when they come out.

Just make a shallow trench and sprinkle the seeds.

Because the wasteland was burned last year, the land is fertile, so there is no need to fertilize it, just use a hoe to hoe off the newly grown weeds.

There are also some high-temperature crops that can only be planted after a few days when it gets warmer, such as cucumbers, eggplants, beans, and gourds.

If the number of seeds this year is not enough to cover the ten hectares of reclaimed land, I dug a lot of wild vegetable seedlings I like from the wasteland and planted them in the ground. Some are perennial herbaceous plants, which can be harvested for many years after planting for one year. Woman We don't have to go far to pick them.

God sent the adults to find out that the women had planted a lot of rape, and immediately asked them to dig a lot and planted two hectares of rape. One team of women was responsible for digging in the wilderness, one team was responsible for transporting it back and forth, and the other team was responsible for planting in the field. The efficiency is not slow, and the time in a week is full.

The several heavy snowfalls last winter made the soil full of water, and it felt like stepping on a sponge, and there was another spring rain, and the small rape seedlings grew very well.

God made the adults tell them not to pick the leaves, but to wait until the seeds are ripe, and to pick the seeds, they need to squeeze the oil.

What is oil?

Good stuff, future dishes will be more delicious.

The women are waiting for the rape blossoms to mature. When the rape blossoms bloom, they stand at the entrance of the valley and look at the golden rapeseed flowers. It is so beautiful.

The medical department also began to dig various medicinal materials in the wasteland and plant them in the land allocated to them, so that they would not have to search for medicinal materials all over the wasteland in the future, especially when they were waiting for that medicinal material but could not find it.

The land of the medical department was not given to them, but it was allocated on a gentle slope at the foot of the mountain, near the woods.

He Qinghuan asked them to plant some dark and humid medicinal materials in the woods, such as ginseng, Panax notoginseng, Gastrodia elata.

A few days after planting, the God Envoy was busy building a fort on the side of the Nu River, and Xiaohua from the food department sent someone to report:

Some germinated and ungerminated taro, sugar cane, these delicious things, were dug up by wild boars, rabbits, or weasels at night and eaten.

I also dug some traps. The traps are point by point. There is no connecting line, and small animals still come in at night.

My Lord God Envoy is also a headache. Some of those things came back in the spring, not as many as last year, but one or two coming to ruin the land is enough to make people upset.

If it is a fence, small animals can block it, but when the wild boar goes crazy, nothing can block it.

Bai Fucheng knew about it, and said to him: "You arrange someone to sprinkle the poop and urine of Huahua and Xiaokong around the ground, and those things will stop coming."

He Qing laughed happily: "Master Patriarch really has a lot of tricks, I admire you very much."

Immediately, let the little boy who came to report the news, named Huzi, go back with a basket of flowers and soil from small holes, and scattered them around the land. Sure enough, those wild beasts were terrified and did not dare to come again, and the crops grew smoothly.

Since then, Huahua and Xiaokong have truly become the mythical beasts of the tribe. Each settlement sent people to take turns to carry their excrement and urine back and sprinkle it around the land. This efficiency is much less troublesome than a fence.

Everyone welcomes Huahua and Xiaokong to pee in the ground.

Bai Fucheng and Master Shenshi were busy all day long.
