Chapter 241 Great River Tribe Exchange Day

Su Qi wanted everyone to have a share, but there were too few watermelons, so there was no way to share them, so Su Qi only gave them to those who helped her.

"I want to keep these three for emergencies. Next year, I will basically be able to watermelon freely."

There are many seeds in each watermelon, more than 200 seeds.

There are more than ten watermelons and more than 2000 seeds.

Besides, there are melons on the watermelon vine, but they are relatively small.

According to Ren Zifeng, the watermelon on this vine is a male, and when it matures, it will be smaller than the previous watermelon, and the taste is not as sweet as before, and the seeds cannot be used.

But something is better than nothing.

"Okay, it will take about half a month. The remaining watermelons will be ripe. You must give me two by then."

Ren Zifeng also knew that the first batch of ripe watermelons were reserved for planting, so he didn't say anything.

But for the remaining male melons on the vine, he will not be polite.

"Five for you."

"That's what you said, five, not one less."

"no problem."

She can't lie to such a small matter.

"Seven, we will go hunting tomorrow, do you want to go?"

That's when Lai found him.

Now it is autumn, and after a while, it will be the exchange day. Lai plans to store more food for the family before the exchange day comes.

Su Qi was taken aback when he heard the words, and asked in confusion, "Why are you hunting so hard recently? You just came back, and you have to leave tomorrow?"

"The exchange day is coming soon. The exchange day will come and go, and it will take more than 60 days at the earliest. By then, it will be cold and there will be no way to hunt. I think before the exchange day. Store as much food as possible. .”

"What is Exchange Day?"

It's been a long time, this is the first time Su Qi heard about the exchange day.

Ren Zifeng didn't expect that Su Qi didn't even know about this, so he simply explained: "Actually, it's nothing, it's just that everyone trades food for women. By the way, they are showing off the strength of their respective tribes. This year it's the turn of the Dahe Tribe to hold the event. The Dahe Tribe is far away from us. It’s not too far from here, and it will take more than 40 days to go back and forth.”

Su Qi looked at Lai thoughtfully after hearing the words: "Are you planning to go?"

Lay nodded.

If there is a bear tribe, Lai really doesn't plan to go.

But if it was the Great River Tribe, he wanted to go and see it.

Want to get better.We must walk more, see more, and do more.

Now after many times of hunting, Lai's skill is getting better and better.

If you want to go further, you can only do some difficult things.

On the exchange day, it is not the end of the exchange, but to see if you can take the exchanged items home.

"Okay, go if you want, and be safe. I won't go if I'm hunting. I promise to bring the incense and them to pick edible wild fruits tomorrow."

It is already autumn.

Now the mountain is a treasure house.

There is so much to eat.

Su Qi intends to take advantage of this season to tell everyone what to eat, and by the way, store as much food as possible, so that everyone can have a comfortable winter as much as possible.

"Well, I'll be a little busy recently, and I don't know when I'll be back. Don't worry."

Lai knew in his heart that Su Qi would not go, but he inevitably had some expectations in his heart.

Su Qi nodded: "Well, be careful."

Autumn is a beautiful season.

Ripe medicinal materials and fruits are everywhere.

However, most fruits are very sour.

There are not many of them that can be eaten, but for the ancient people who had little food, it was already a surprise.

Su Qi found chestnuts, walnuts, and hazelnuts.

They're all bigger than the modern world, a lot bigger.

A chestnut is the size of two goose eggs, a walnut is the size of a volleyball, and a hazelnut is the size of a goose egg.

Of course, the fruit is big and the tree is not short.

It is estimated that they are more than 30 meters high.

The trees are not easy to grow, so everyone can only pick up the ones on the ground.

Even so, everyone is already very happy.

Women don't eat as much as men. With such a big chestnut, two or three chestnuts will be full in one meal.

Su Qi was not idle either, she directly went up to the tree with a stick, and then began to beat the fruit on the tree with the stick, then tied the very thick grass rope brought up to the strongest branch, and then tied the The grass rope goes down.

In this way, if you want to go up next time, it will be easier.

As for the grass rope being damaged in the sun, I am not afraid of it, and someone will replace it at that time.

The taste of chestnut is sweet and soft.

Men, women, children, and the elderly all like to eat it.

So everyone was very active. If it weren't for Su Qi who wanted to build the city and some people went to build the wall, everyone would have come to pick chestnuts long ago.

Chestnut, hazelnut, walnut trees are not everywhere.

Rather, there are a few here and a few there.

The nearby ones are gone, and everyone starts to go far away.

Gradually, everyone came to the place where Su Qi made a mark.

"Go back and look in another direction."

Regarding Su Qi's words, everyone has no opinion.

If it wasn't for Su Qi, they wouldn't be able to eat so much and such delicious food.

After another ten days, Xiang and the others basically knew what to eat around here.

At this time Su Qi was not with Xiang and the others, but was going to act alone.

But before that, Su Qi had to send Lai off first.

Because it's not long before the exchange day.

In order not to be late, go early, Qi intends to let everyone go early.

Led by Qi, Long, Lai and Ang.

They did not bring game they caught, but salt, bacon, and dried kelp.

And the task of Long and the others is to change as many women as they can.

Originally, Qi didn't want to go, but he was really worried about Ang and Lai.

One is his own younger brother, and the other is what Su Qi cares most about. No matter what, Qi has the responsibility to take good care of them.

So Qi decided to go again on the spur of the moment.

There are Su Qi, Qing, De, and Zhang San in the tribe, so Qi is at ease.

Mainly Su Qi.

Looking at the happy and high-spirited people, Su Qi said with a smile: "Be careful on the road."

There were not many people who were brought by Qi, there were 200 people, ten of them also followed.

The main reason is that Su Qi is really worried, afraid that something will happen to Lai, so he deliberately let Tian and the others go.

Of course, before letting Tian and the others go, Su Qi asked Xiang and the others.

They agreed, and Su Qi asked Tian and the others to follow.

Excluding those who were taken away by Qi, there are about two hundred strong laborers left in the tribe.

Su Qi asked them to hunt in two shifts.

As for the job of building the wall, Su Qi handed it over to a man who couldn't hunt, the area wasn't too big, and his movement was a little inconvenient.

After such a long time, the eight-meter-high and two-meter-wide wall has been built for 2000 meters.

The main material is wood, followed by stone.

First, bury a log ten meters long and about forty centimeters thick in the ground for two meters, and then put stones in the middle of the log.

Because the outside is stuck with wood, the wall is very straight and will not fall easily.

Su Qi took a look at everyone's work progress, encouraged everyone, and told them that although they are disabled, they can do what normal people can do, and they can do better.

This sound of encouragement made everyone work harder.

After encouraging everyone, Su Qi began to look for the tea tree she had seen before.

The cave in Su Qi's house is very big.

Now through Su Qi's frantic hoarding of food, it is almost full.

So Su Qi didn't continue to look for fruits and the like, but found the tea tree that he had seen once before.
