The Rise of Primitive Tribes Farming

Chapter 128
With the arrival of spring, the spring plowing of the Mang tribe began.

This year's spring plowing is different from previous years, because the six young bison domesticated by the Mang tribe have grown up this year, and they have also pulled carts. Now, Chenbei plans to let them pull plows.

It is definitely a huge change from manpower plowing to plowing plows pulled by livestock, and the first choice for plowing is cattle.

The character "plough" has profit on the top and ox on the bottom. Since the creation of this character, it has been related to ox.

Chenbei first drew the appearance of Quyuanli with an animal skin roll, and asked the carpenter and stone tool maker to work together to get this thing out.

"This is called a Quyuan plow. It is used to plow the ground. The style is also very simple. The wooden part is relatively easy to manufacture. The key is that the stone used for this plowshare must be good, strong enough, sharp, and polished to a curved surface. That turns the soil over to one side."

Chen Bei explained Quyuanli to the carpenter and stone tool master in detail, explaining clearly what each part is used for.

In this way, carpenters and masons will naturally know how to use it smoothly and how to make it durable according to their needs.

After listening to Chen Bei's narration, the carpenter and stone tool maker nodded one after another, saying that there is no problem, this thing is not complicated, and it does not need to be exquisite, and it is relatively easy to manufacture.

Only three days later, the Mang tribe's first Quyuanli was born.

Chen Bei checked it, and felt that it was similar to the plow used to plow the fields when he was a child in his previous life. As for the details, he could only rely on actual operations and fine-tuning.

After Quyuanli was finished, Chenbei took some more thought to make the noose that connects Quyuanli to the ox, using animal skin rope, which is very strong.

In the end, Chen Bei asked Lao Lu to pull out the six bison, and asked Yan to drive Quyuanli himself, because the bison is huge in size and has great strength. operate.

The plow was harnessed to the most docile buffalo, and it was driven into the field.

These fields have been turned over once last winter, and now they are turned over for the second time. This is to make the soil softer, so that the crops and seedlings can take root and germinate smoothly.

Following Chen Bei's advice, Yan supported Quyuanli with one hand, and the ox reins were hung on Quyuanli's ring, while driving the cattle with a whip made of bamboo branches in one hand.

On this day, many people went to the field to watch, and everyone wanted to see how the bison plowed the field.

"If you wear a bamboo hat and a coir raincoat, it will be more similar."

Chen Bei was thinking about when to get out the bamboo hat and coir raincoat. Farming often faced light rain, and the bamboo hat and coir raincoat could prevent people from getting wet when they were working.

"Boss, what are the bamboo hat and coir raincoat?"

Lie next to him was confused, he was here to watch the fun, and happened to hear Chen Bei talking.

"You'll find out later."

Chen Bei rubbed his chin, thinking about how to make these two things.

In the field, Yan had already started to drive the bison to plow the ground. He looked at the bamboo branch in his hand, stroked the bison's buttocks a few times, and then whipped it down.

"Moo!"

Unexpectedly, the whip was whipped harder, the buffalo suffered from pain, and dragged the plow forward frantically, Yan was unprepared and could only passively follow.

"Hahaha, Yan, the cow has run away, the cow has run away!"

Lie laughed unabashedly, because the appearance of Yan running with the bison was very funny.

The other onlookers also laughed, and even Chen Bei couldn't help laughing.

In the end, the old deer ran over, grabbed the bison, and comforted him.

"Yan, why are you hitting so hard?" The old deer looked at Yan reproachfully. He had raised these bison for a year or two, and they all had feelings for them.

Yan scratched his head in embarrassment, and said: "I'm sorry, I'm inexperienced. The main reason is that I think it has rough skin and thick flesh. I'm afraid it won't feel it if it is hit lightly."

"These cows are very smart, you just push them away a little bit."

"Okay, I'll try again later." Yan was a little bit overwhelmed by everyone's laughter, and decided to pump lightly for a while, letting the bison walk slowly.

Chen Bei walked to the field, and squatted at the place where the plow was dragged by the ox just now to watch.

He found that wherever the plow dragged, a ditch was exposed, and the soil was turned over and turned to one side.

Chen Bei got up, walked to the side of the rock, and said: "Although I ran a little faster just now, the effect is still very good. Look, the soil has been turned over, and the speed is much faster than human digging."

"Work hard, try a few more times, and you will always learn."

Yan took a closer look and found that this was really the case, and he suddenly felt more confident.

"Don't worry, leader, I will definitely learn how to plow the field with oxen."

Chen Bei nodded with a smile, and said, "I believe in you, let's continue."

Yan adjusted his mood, and then started again. Holding the plow with his right hand, he gently waved the bamboo whip with his left hand, and said, "Go, go."

Sure enough, the buffalo slowly dragged Qu Yuanli forward, and wherever Qu Yuanli passed, the soil was neatly turned over.

Everyone stopped laughing, because they found that the buffalo pulled the plow and walked very fast, and the ground was turned over where it passed, and the effect was really high.

When he came to the corner, Yan was embarrassed again, because the bison kept going forward and would not turn at all.

"Yan, pull the rope." Chen Bei reminded.

Yan drove the bison into the field again, and then at the turning point, he pulled the rope in advance to pull the bull's head in the direction to turn. Sure enough, the bison learned how to turn a few times, and it would turn.

"These bison are really smart." Chen Bei sighed sincerely.

"It's really smart. They can understand me when I say some simple words." The old deer nodded aside.

As time went by, Yan gradually mastered some small skills of using the plow, and the plowing efficiency became higher.

I have to say that talent is really important. People with high talent and hard work can always get twice the result with half the effort.

Obviously, Yan has a very good talent in farming.

Chen Bei looked at the ground for an hour or two, but he didn't look any further. He was thinking about the bamboo hat and coir raincoat, and he desperately wanted to rush back to the tribe to get these two things out.

After returning to the tribe, he first asked the stone tool maker to make five more plowshares, and then asked the carpenter to make five more plowshares.

Because there are six bison, at least six plows are needed. If all of them can be used, even if it is more than [-] mu of land, it will not take long to turn it over, because the bison plows the land really fast.

Later, he found Zhizhi in the garment workshop and told her his thoughts on the bamboo hat and coir raincoat.

"Bamboo hats can be woven with rattan. Inside the rattan, layers of wide leaves are woven in, or simply covered with a layer of animal skin."

The method of weaving bamboo hats is similar to that of weaving fish baskets, and it is not difficult.

"The coir raincoat is made of the bark of those palm trees. Weave them layer by layer and sew them together with twine. They can be draped over the shoulders to keep out the wind and rain."

Chen Bei gestured with the leaves, and told Zhi Zhi the general appearance.

Zhizhi nodded, and said: "Don't worry, leader, it must be done."

"I believe in you." After Chen Bei finished speaking, he turned and left.

Two days later, the first bamboo hat covered with rabbit skin and coir raincoat made of palm bark appeared in front of Chen Bei.

"The people in the tribe are really getting stronger and stronger."

Chenbei was amazed at the efficiency of the garment workshop.
