The Rise of Primitive Tribes Farming

Chapter 436 Greenhouse Vegetables
The time period for making the golden spear is relatively long. After Chen Bei went to see it a few times, he let the people in the foundry freely.

Winter is still not over. I don't know how long this cold weather will last.

In the Lobster River, the soldiers of the Mang Tribe fishing team still braved the heavy snow to fish. These fresh fish, as well as the prey returned by the hunting team, are rare and delicious in winter.

Most of the time, most people actually eat dried vegetables, pickled sauerkraut, plantar potatoes and red cones in the cellar.

Although compared to other tribes, it is much better. Not only can it fill the stomach, but also there are more types of food.

But for Chen Bei, after eating for a long time, he still misses green vegetables a little bit.

It is said that people's desires are endless, and regarding food, Chen Bei thinks this is true.

He is always in pursuit of good food, and even better food.

Therefore, Chen Bei began to rack his brains to figure out how to eat green vegetables in winter.

If you want to eat green vegetables in winter, you must plant them first. At this time, there is a lot of snow everywhere, and the plants will be frozen to death when they germinate. How can they grow alive and grow up smoothly?
Chen Bei initially set his sights on the hot spring valley, which is a day's journey away from the Mang tribe.

That is the place where the rhinos used to spend the winter. There is magma underground and hot springs on the ground, and the climate is relatively warm.

The only problem is that the hot spring valley is too far away, and only next to the hot spring can grow some green grass. If it is too close, the grass will be scalded to death by the hot spring water, and if it is too far away, it will be frozen to death by the snow. It is really a suitable place to grow , actually not much.

Therefore, Chen Bei thought about it and gave up the hot spring valley.

Another way is to make a greenhouse.

But making a greenhouse is not an easy task. First of all, except for a few plants, most plants still need light.

If you build an airtight greenhouse, there will be no light at all, and it will be warm, but even if the plants can grow, they will definitely not grow well.

It is almost impossible to make a light-transmitting greenhouse roof with the existing technology of the Mang tribe.

With such a heavy snow, even if a little low-quality glass is fired, it can't withstand the extremely cold weather at all.

Therefore, Chen Bei struggled with this headache for a long time.He wandered around in the tribe and nearby, hoping to find a suitable way to build a greenhouse.

In the end, he wandered around to the altar, and noticed with sharp eyes that there was no snow at all in a large area near the altar, the soil was very wet, and some tenacious short grass even grew on it.

However, because the cold wind is still very strong, these short grasses can't grow up at all, only the part close to the ground is a little green.

"That's right, why didn't I expect that underground magma can be used!"

Let Chen Bei build the greenhouse next to the altar, that is not acceptable, no matter how generous the flame rhinoceros is, it will not allow the place where he lives to be used to grow vegetables.

But geothermal heat can be channeled, and with his current strength, this can still be done.

Chen Bei chose an open space not far from the altar, and then pressed his hand on the ground.

"Buzz!"

His totem pattern spread all over his body in an instant, especially the palm of his hand. The temperature was so high that it burned a big hole in the ground and melted the soil, sand and stones.

After the divine power entered the ground, it slowly sensed the position of the magma in the ground.

Afterwards, Chen Bei picked up a hoe and quickly dug on the ground.

The hoe made of bronze waved in Chen Bei's hands, leaving afterimages, and the speed was extremely fast.

Not long after, a large pile of soil appeared on the ground, and Chen Bei dug to the location where the underground magma was.

"boom!"

In this place, an underground magma river flows through, forming a large magma lake, and the flame rhinoceros cultivates in the magma lake all year round.

But now, Chenbei dug a hole directly to the edge of the magma lake.

The flame rhinoceros glanced at him from afar, and frowned. What the hell is going on this morning?

Chen Bei gave a friendly smile to the Flame Rhinoceros, and said, "God Rhinoceros, continue to rest, I promise I won't disturb you."

The flame rhino glared at him, then continued to sleep.

After finishing speaking, Chen Bei crawled back along the hole.

Back to the ground with him, there is also the billowing heat wave generated by the underground magma.

The hole is not big, but the hot air is constantly rising up.

"nailed it!"

Chen Bei looked at the entrance of the cave, the most difficult part has been completed.

This continuous upward heat is the basis for the establishment of a greenhouse.

Afterwards, Chenbei called Hong Tu, the captain of the Mang tribe's engineering team, and asked him to build a house on top of the steaming hole.

Since it is winter and the snow is very thick, it is still a little difficult to build a house.

Fortunately, the totem warriors of the Mang tribe were used to the cold. They moved a lot of stone bricks and built houses little by little despite the snow.

There is also a wooden window on the side of the house, and there are many densely packed wooden lattices on the window.

Chen Bei kept pouring water on the grid, and it didn't take long for a layer of ice to condense on the grid, blocking the cold wind pouring in from outside.

At the same time, because the ice can transmit light, the light from the outside can be reflected into the house, making the house a little brighter.

After the house was built, Chenbei went to Yan of the planting team to get the seeds, and then turned over the ground in the greenhouse by himself, carefully shoveled the soil, picked up relatively large stones, and covered it with a layer of decayed grass.

The cave in the center of the room was still steaming continuously, and it didn't take long for the room to warm up.

Chen Bei personally planted the seeds one by one on the ground of this primitive greenhouse, covered it with half-decomposed hay, and poured some water.

Chenbei grows cabbage, which is the easiest to survive, and other vegetables that are easy to survive.

In the next period of time, the mang tribe talked about the most, and it was the greenhouse made by Chenbei.

Many soldiers who were in charge of guarding the tribe, when they were patrolling, secretly glanced here, wanting to see what Chen Bei had made inside.

However, the house was tightly closed, no one dared to open it casually except Chen Bei.

Just like that, after another seven or eight days, when Chen Bei entered the greenhouse again, he found that most of the seeds had begun to germinate, and bright yellow seedlings grew.

Chen Bei rubbed his hands, poured some water on these seedlings, and said, "Grow up quickly, I can't wait."

In the tenth year since the establishment of the Mang tribe, in the last month of winter, Chenbei successfully planted Chinese cabbage and cultivated a lot of bean sprouts.

The cabbage grows out of the ground by the heat, but the bean sprouts are first soaked by Chen Bei in water, then put in a basket, covered with some moist grass, and placed next to the steaming hole in the ground to give birth.

Chen Bei fried the vegetables picked from the greenhouse, took half a bowl for himself, took a bite, and sighed with tears streaming down his face: "It's not easy, after so many winters, I finally ate a bite of green vegetables today gone."

Chenbei decided to build more greenhouses, either in caves or houses, in short, to allow more people to eat fresh vegetables in winter.
