The Rise of Primitive Tribes Farming

Chapter 32 Harvest Autumn

After several twists and turns, the vegetable field was finally saved.

In the last few months of summer, the vegetable field did not encounter any disasters. With the efforts of the planting team, fertilization, watering, weeding, and insect removal, they turned the vegetable field green again, and finally ushered in the harvest. season.

Not only is the vegetable field getting better, because more and more fish are being caught, and the ponds in the tribe are getting bigger and bigger. It is foreseeable that this winter, the Mang tribe will have surplus food for the first time.

In the first month of autumn, a large number of vegetables matured, and the Mang tribe was able to harvest a large number of vegetables, but they could not keep them for a long time, and the vegetables would rot if left for a long time.

Yan asked Chen Bei for advice on vegetable storage.

Chen Bei said: "Why don't you dry the cabbage and green vegetables into dried vegetables?"

There are many kinds of vegetables grown by the Mang tribe, and Chenbei only knows one or two of them. Among them, cabbage is Chenbei's favorite, but it is far less big than the cabbage in his previous life, and it does not ball. It is relatively short and tastes not so good tender.

"Dried? But after drying, it will turn yellow, like withered grass. Is it really edible?"

Yan has also seen many leaves dry in the ground, but those leaves are the same as dead leaves and grass, and they don't seem to be edible.

Chen Bei said: "You will know if you try it directly. After drying, throw it into the pot and cook with the meat. It is very fragrant."

"Okay, I trust the leader."

Yan left in a hurry again. Since the leader said it was delicious, it must be delicious, so there is no need to doubt it.

Now Yan is eager to try what kind of taste the cabbage will taste after being dried.

Looking at Yan's back, Chen Bei murmured, "Actually, you can pickle these cabbages in a jar. Anyway, there is no shortage of salt. If you want a jar, you can try firing pottery. If you try a few more times, you should be successful."

In his previous life, Chen Bei liked to watch programs such as Survival in the Wild and Challenges of Primitives. He had seen others use mud to make pottery, and he felt that it was not difficult.

"However, there is a shortage of peppers."

Thinking of chili peppers, Chen Bei's saliva almost flowed out, but there was no way, he hadn't found chili peppers so far, so he could only hope to find them in the future.

A few days later, the old deer from the breeding team also found Chenbei.

"Leader, now that the tribe has enough food, can we domesticate some green triangle sheep or other animals?"

Chen Bei looked at Lao Lu in surprise, and said, "Can you take care of it?"

The old deer said confidently: "Now there are three triangular green sheep, 52 red ducks, and sixteen colorful pheasants in the tribe. After they are matured, they only need to be fed every day. It is not difficult."

"Three triangular green sheep?" Chen Bei was a little surprised, isn't there only two?
The old deer proudly said: "That's right, three, because the ewe gave birth to a lamb, now we have three triangular green sheep."

"Not only the triangular green sheep, but also the colorful pheasants and red ducks have laid a lot of eggs. As long as they hatch, our tribe will have more colorful pheasants and red ducks."

A smile appeared on Chen Bei's face, and he said, "Very well, since you made this request, I'll tell the hunting team to let them catch some green triangle sheep or other animals that are suitable for breeding."

"Thank you leader, I will definitely raise them well."

The old deer left contentedly. He now feels that he has become much younger and hopes to do more work.

At night, after Chen Bei waited for the hunting team to come back, he found Captain Yun.

"Yun, the old deer said that the tribe has enough food now and wants to domesticate more animals. See if you can catch some green triangle sheep or other herbivorous animals suitable for domestication."

Why the emphasis on herbivores?It's very simple, because of carnivores, the tribe can't afford it for the time being.

Yun thought for a while and said, "Leader, look, can the gray-haired rabbit do it? I happened to catch one today, and it's still alive."

Yun walked to the corner of the wooden house, where there was a rattan cage specially used to hold some small things.

Yun lifted the cage in front of Chen Bei, and a big gray rabbit about ten kilograms appeared in front of Chen Bei.

The animals in this world are generally much larger than what Chen Bei saw in his previous life, which may have a lot to do with the environment.

"This gray fur rabbit fell into a trap we made, so it was captured alive," Yun explained.

Chen Bei looked at it for a moment, and said with satisfaction: "Grey-haired rabbit, not bad, this thing also eats grass, so it's easy to feed."

"Since this is the case, you should catch more gray-haired rabbits and bring them back to raise. If you come across other cubs that are suitable for breeding, you will also catch them."

"Yes, chief."

Yun is not very ambitious, which also brings an advantage, that is, the hunting team he is in charge of rarely hunts dangerous beasts. So far, the hunting team has not lost a single totem warrior, and the number of injuries is relatively small.

Of course, this is also because the tribe is now developing in many ways, with sufficient food, and there is no need for hunting teams to work hard.

In the second month of autumn, the breeding team started raising gray-haired rabbits. Because gray-haired rabbits can dig holes, they can only be raised in large cages off the ground, otherwise they will dig holes and run away.

In the middle of the second month, the palm potatoes and red cones in the vegetable field are ripe, and the harvest is bumper!
"Be careful, don't break it!"

In the vegetable field, everyone was working in full swing. Chenbei temporarily mobilized most of the tribe to dig out the palm potatoes and red cones, hoping to dig them out of the ground for storage in a short time.

There are too many people, and naturally there are some clumsy ones who will dig up the yams and red cones.

"Hey!"

Ya stone hoe down, a red cone into two halves.

A member of the planting team next to him felt sorry for the red cones, and said angrily: "I told you to be careful, be careful, why didn't you listen? A good red cone, just like this, was dug up by you."

Ya said awkwardly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't expect it to grow here."

Such scenes are staged everywhere in the vegetable field. Although everyone is very careful, because these root plants grow underground, they cannot be seen at all, so it is inevitable to break and damage them.

Five days later, the sole potatoes and red cones were all dug out and piled up like a mountain.

Chenbei asked everyone to spread out the palm potatoes and red cones, dry the mud on them, and then pile them all into the "granary"!

That's right, the Mang tribe has already built several granaries, otherwise there would be no place to store the food.

The elder's biggest hobby recently is to sit next to the granary every day and watch the people of the planting team continuously transport the grain in. Every time this happens, he always smiles until his eyes close.

Who would have thought that it took only one year for the Mang tribe to develop from nothing to the present.

Looking at these grains, the elder was satisfied from the bottom of his heart.

In the third month of autumn, when the weather gradually turned cold, Chenbei temporarily transferred all members of the hunting team and fishing team back to build houses.

He didn't want to spend the winter hiding in a narrow, simple wooden house.

Chenbei did not choose to build a stone house, because the stone house was too humid in spring and summer, so he chose to build the house with mud bricks.

In his previous life, Chen Bei lived in a mud-brick house when he was a child. Although some places leaked when it rained, it was warm in winter and cool in summer, and it was very sturdy. As long as it was repaired frequently, it would be fine for decades.

Of course, the most important thing is that Chenbei doesn't know how to burn red bricks, and mud bricks are simple.

"Mix grass and mud together, make them better, then put them into a mold and compact them to make mud bricks, and finally pour them out to dry."

Chen Bei explained to everyone how to make mud bricks, and then everyone started to get busy.

Those who dig mud to make mud bricks, those who make house beams, and those who peel bark to make roofs, the whole tribe is very busy, and everyone's face is full of joy.

"Wow……"

In the distance, the cry of a baby was faintly heard, and a tribal woman ran towards the place where the mud bricks were made with a happy face.

"Lie, Lie, your daughter-in-law gave birth to a fat boy! Go and ask the witch to baptize your son and bless you!"

Lie, who was stepping on the mud with his feet, trembled all over, and said, "Did you give birth, did you give birth?"

Chen on the side smiled and said: "Congratulations, Lie, go back quickly."

"I'm going back right now!"

Lie was very excited and ran home barefoot.

Chen Bei shouted from behind: "Lie, go wash off the mud first, witches don't like dirty people!"

"understood!"

Lie waved his hand back, then ran to the pond.

This autumn, many children were born in the tribe, which is the result of everyone hiding in the wooden house all day last winter.
