The Rise of Primitive Tribes Farming

Chapter 16 Colorful Pheasant
In the second month of winter, there was no snow for more than ten days in a row. Outside the Mang tribe, a large piece of wasteland had opened up. Every time he saw this piece of land, Chen Bei was in a very good mood.

Farm tools have also been manufactured, including stone hoes, stone shovels, and even stone sickles for cutting weeds. Although the number is not large, it also speeds up the process of land reclamation.

If this goes on, after one winter, when spring comes, the Mang tribe will have a very wide piece of land to grow things. Even if it is full of wild vegetables, it can provide a lot of food for the tribe.

However, the totem warriors didn't spend all day reclaiming the wasteland. They would go to reclaim the wasteland in the morning, and in the afternoon, the totem warriors with hunting experience would teach the new totem warriors how to hunt.

Such as tracking prey, digging traps, trapping, catching prey, and how to survive in the mountains and forests, how to avoid dangerous beasts, etc.

It is impossible to supply the needs of the entire tribe in the short term by simply relying on planting and breeding. Therefore, hunting is a must-learn skill.

Not only the totem warriors, but all children over eight years old in the tribe can come and learn how to hunt. They are the future hope of the tribe.

Among them, the 12-year-old tooth is very positive about this.

By tomorrow winter, Ya will be 13 years old, and he will be eligible to be drawn totem tattoos by witches in sacrificial ceremonies to awaken the power of totems.

Therefore, he was very active in preparing, and would learn some simple hunting skills from those totem warriors every day.

For example, digging traps, laying traps, these things he can do now, and trying to use the newly learned hunting skills around the tribe to try to capture some small prey.

After Ya has learned some hunting skills, he is always wandering around the tribe, trying to catch a prey to show everyone that he is better than other children in the tribe.

Unexpectedly, one evening, he actually caught a prey.

"Boss, boss, I've caught the prey, I've caught the prey!"

Ya carried the prey and shouted while running, Chen Bei heard his voice from a long distance away.

"Goooooooooooo..."

In Chenbei's stone pot, the animal meat was rolling, and some taro-like plant tubers were added to it, as well as some edible spices Chenbei found, and a little salt was sprinkled on it. This was Chenbei's dinner.

When he first came to this world, Chen Bei felt that eating was to live, as for the taste?Don't make trouble, people who can't eat enough every day have any qualifications to talk about the taste.

Now, Chen Bei occasionally finally has a feeling of enjoying delicious food.

Chen Bei put the lid on the pot, turned the fire down a bit, and then went to open the door.

"What prey did you catch?"

Ya ran up to Chen Bei, picked up a big colorful bird, and said, "Look, boss, a colorful pheasant!"

Chen Bei took a look, and saw that this big bird weighed five or six catties. Its feathers were composed of five colors. It looked like a domestic chicken. Its tail feathers were very long and very beautiful.

"Yes, very good, where did you catch it?"

This colorful pheasant is very fat, Chen Bei licked his lips, he already had ten ways to make this colorful pheasant in his heart.

"It was caught with a lasso in the wasteland. These colorful pheasants will go to the newly reclaimed land every day when it is getting dark to find bugs to eat. There are a large group of them."

"A large group? Are you sure?"

Chen Bei suddenly thought, can this colorful pheasant be domesticated?If one or two are caught alone, it is likely to starve to death due to loneliness, fear, and refusal to eat. Chen Bei has seen many such things.

But a large group is different. If you can catch more than a dozen of them, they will not feel lonely and afraid, and they will eat normally, and maybe they can be domesticated successfully.

Ya proudly said: "Of course I'm sure, I've been observing for several days."

"Okay, very good, Ya, you've done a great job."

Chen Bei patted Ya's shoulder, and said: "Go back, make the colorful pheasant you caught with your own hands and feed it to your family, and let them know that you can also hunt."

Ya was a little embarrassed and said: "But, I plan to give this colorful pheasant to the leader. My mother said, if it wasn't for the leader, we would have starved to death."

Chen Bei smiled and said: "This is your first prey, of course you have to share it with your family, if you can still catch it tomorrow, give it to me."

"Okay, I'm sure I can catch it tomorrow, leader, I'll go back first."

Ya carried the colorful pheasant, and ran back happily. The laughter of the young people seemed to dispel the cold of winter, and the whole tribe was full of vitality.

Chen Bei returned to his wooden house, opened the lid of the pot, and the smell of meat came out.

He tasted it with a homemade wooden spoon, and the soup was a little watery, so he added a little more salt, waited for a while, and then started to eat with his homemade chopsticks.

While eating, he thought about the colorful pheasant he saw just now.

"If you can raise colorful pheasants well, you can eat not only chicken, but also eggs. Even if you can't raise them well, you can cook them and eat them."

Chen Bei decided to discuss with those experienced hunters tomorrow how to capture and domesticate this group of colorful pheasants alive.

The next day, Chen Bei found Yun, who had the strongest hunting ability among the totem warriors.

"Catch colorful pheasants? Does the leader want to eat roasted pheasants? I'll go to the mountains to catch them. It's easier to catch colorful pheasants in snowy weather."

Yun thought that Chen Bei was greedy for the meat of the colorful pheasant, so he was going to get the rope and put the noose into the mountain after speaking.

"Hey, come back, who said that I want to eat roast pheasant, what I want is to catch it alive, do you understand?"

Chen Bei was a little helpless, the tribal people didn't think about domesticating these birds and beasts at all, the first reaction was to catch them and eat them.

"Catch alive? Leader, the sacrificial ceremony has passed, why are you captured alive?"

Yun looked at Chen Bei with a puzzled expression.

"Taming, do you understand domestication? Raise a large group in the tribe, and eat whenever you want in the future."

Yun scratched his head, although he didn't understand what Chen Bei said about domestication, but because Chen Bei was the leader, he had to obey orders.

"Yes, leader, I will definitely catch them alive."

Chen Bei didn't expect these hunting-minded people to understand the meaning of domestication immediately, and they would know the benefits when they raise them later.

"You don't need to go into the mountains to catch them. Ya told me yesterday that there is a large flock of colorful pheasants on the edge of the reclaimed land, and they fly over to eat bugs every evening. You can find a way to catch these colorful pheasants."

"Yes, I will take people to prepare the lasso right away, and I will definitely catch these colorful pheasants."

Yun left in a hurry. Since he wanted to capture him alive, he had to be prepared, otherwise he might die like a tooth.

Chen Bei didn't need to set the trap himself, he just needed to pass on the order, it was up to these totem warriors how to do it.

Now, he finally looks like a leader, rather than doing everything himself.

"Go and see how the triangular green sheep are doing."

Chen Bei walked towards the sheep pen.

The sheepfold is on the edge of the tribe, and it is kept by two older tribe elders.

Chen Bei walked to the gate of the sheep pen, and the two hurriedly saluted him.

"Good leader."

"Well, how is the triangular blue sheep doing?"

An old man said: "I used to be very afraid of people and always wanted to run away, but now I am gradually not afraid of people, and I don't need to be tied with ropes anymore."

"Now what do you feed the Triangular Green Goat?"

"I used to feed some grass, but now the grass is dead, I can only feed the leaves, add a little water, and sometimes go to the wasteland to pick up some grass roots that have been dug out."

The feeding is not bad, Chen Bei is quite satisfied with it.

"Thank you for your hard work." Chen Bei said sincerely.

Those two hurriedly waved their hands and said: "It's not hard work, it's not hard work, the leader can give us food, so it's nothing to do this little work."

"open to take a look."

An old man hastily opened the gate of the sheep pen, and the two triangular green sheep were lying in the corner chewing the leaves. When they saw Chen Bei, they just shrank their necks and did not panic.

There is also a wooden trough next to the triangular green sheep, which contains water for them to drink.

Another interesting thing is that the Sanjiao Qingyang is quite hygienic, and the sheep manure is pulled in another corner, and it is not pulled everywhere.

"Very well, you are well raised, close the door."

Chen Bei was very satisfied. It could be seen that the two of them took great care in raising the Triangle Blue Goat.

"If you lack anything, just tell me, and I won't treat you badly."

"Thank you leader, thank you leader, we will definitely raise the Triangle Blue Goat well."

Chen Bei turned and left, he is here, the two of them are uncomfortable, so he won't stay for too long.
