The salted fish couple is fleeing famine

Chapter 206 Sweet Potatoes for Diamonds

Amanlin and his friends were in the camp, and after the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, they reluctantly returned to the tribe.

After that, not only Amanlin came to the base camp every three days, but Chief Amu also came once in a while, looking at the bearded corn, he was very kind.

Because he had to wait in the base camp to collect the grain, Uncle Zhongqin would stay in the base camp for two months after the Chinese New Year.

Breaking corn, digging potatoes, digging sweet potatoes, vegetables do not need to be picked at one time, they grow from snacks to old vegetables.

Both the tender pumpkin and the old pumpkin have their own beauty, and the tomato is even more red, eat one!
The sweet potato field on the river beach was the first to ripen, followed by the ten acres of land near the camp. This work was done in a day!

Hundreds of acres of wasteland will take a month to ripen, and the yield is estimated to be higher than the ten or so acres just harvested.

But the things just brought back made Huang Shangshu burst into tears with joy: Your Majesty, with these high-yield grains, we Daxia people will never be hungry again.

Chief Amu and Amanlin were also there today, and they saw that mountains of sweet potatoes and potatoes had been dug out of this not-so-large land.

After the corn cobs are shelled, most of them are thicker than a child's arm, and one corn stalk has two knots.

The flat and round pumpkin was bigger than the black soil bowl they made themselves, and one pumpkin was enough for ten people to eat.

In addition to the joy of harvest and in order to let Chief Amu feel the charm of these foods intuitively, Hei Wa didn't let the cooks do those tricks.

I only took a large iron pot, threw the washed and tender corn cobs, sweet potatoes, and potatoes into the water, and boiled them!

Two old pumpkins were steamed, and the pumpkin seeds were picked out, which can be dried and used as seeds.

A large pot of coarse grains was used to entertain Chief Amu, but this made him happier than inviting Chief Amu to eat meat.

These cooked foods are more delicious than any plant roots they dug back in the past.

With their special aroma: sweet potato tastes very sweet; tender corn is a bit glutinous, sweet and juicy; although the potato has no sweet taste, it is pink and delicious when dipped in a little salt.

The old pumpkin was so sweet that Chief Amu squinted his eyes. He had lost several teeth, and he ate this the most.

For every grain harvested today, Hei Wa gave Chief Amu two big baskets.Also presented, the planting atlas of each grain.

Chief Amu was so excited that he asked the tribesmen to send prey to their base camp for a month after returning.

They have regarded this group of outsiders as the most honorable and friendly guests of the jungle tribe.

All kinds of living prey, feathers of various colors, and the teeth of unknown prey were especially given to Hei Wa.

How long can 200 people break 1000 mu of corn? --The answer is that it will be over in two hours in less than one morning!

How long can 100 people dig 1000 acres of sweet potatoes and potatoes? -The answer is that it is not enough for an afternoon, and the soil that is too dense should not be too easy to dig.

Huang Shangshu wished he could lie down and sleep in the pile of potatoes. The largest one was as big as a fist, and the smallest one was about the size of an egg. With such an additional process of rolling up, the output can be increased by at least [-]%!
As soon as the food was brought back, Hei Wa couldn't stand the enthusiasm of the natives for bringing gifts to their door every day, so she took dozens of baskets of newly harvested corn and potatoes and went to change shifts with Gao Huaiyu.

"Uncle, are the grains we planted finally cooked?" Gao Huaiyu was pleasantly surprised by Uncle Zhongqin's sudden arrival.

The soldiers on the side of the mine are still eating sweet potato leaves as vegetables. They dug the sweet potatoes under the sweet potato vines several times last month, but they haven't grown up yet.

"It's ready, this piece can be dug!" Hei Wa wanted to share the joy of harvest with Gao Zongbing, but Gao Huaiyu, who was in a hurry to return to the base camp, couldn't wait to hand over the work to him, and slipped away in a blink of an eye.

Seeing his back running away in a hurry, even the Shangguan imperial physician couldn't stop shaking his head.

This Gao Zongbing has long since scratched his skin and helped him catch many poisonous spiders in his spare time.If it is said that the Inca Empire had a lot of medicinal plants, the place where gold was produced had a lot of poisonous insects.

They found more than 30 kinds of venomous snakes alone, and took a lot of snake venom and snake gall. In traditional Chinese medicine, snake venom is used as a medicine for many medicines.

Fortunately, these imperial physicians were stationed on the mountainside and saved dozens of brothers several times.

Ants can poison you to the point where you cannot move!In the past, who would put ants in their eyes?

The soldiers only regard poisonous snakes and poisonous spiders as the number one enemy. There are many large ants at the bottom of the gold mine, which are five or six times larger than ordinary ants.

Once accidentally bitten by them, it's like a rusty nail stuck into the heel, and then walking barefoot on the coals, no matter how manly it is, the man will scream in pain.

Even if the palm of the hand is bitten by this kind of ant, there will be pain in the shoulder or even the arm, and it will even be unconscious and unable to move for a few hours.

The Shangguan Imperial Physician still had a few brushes, which had a pungent smell, and made a lot of medicine packs for repelling ants.

It is scattered everywhere in the mine, to disinfect and relieve itching for people who are bitten, and to use local materials to the extreme.

That night, the gold mining soldiers ate the new crops planted by Uncle Zhongqin—corn and potatoes.

I also took the opportunity to open a campfire barbecue meeting for Xinliang.

Heiwa stewed a large pot of beef with the tomatoes specially set aside for them, and the potatoes were so delicious that they added more dishes.

This laughing movement shocked the Big Tree Tribe not too far from here.

On the second day, the female chief brought people over to check what happened, and found that their group was digging a field of wild vegetables.

Under the wild vegetables, there were strings of roots that they had never seen before. This kind of scene made the female chief come up to ask.

Coincidentally, Hei Wa hadn't had breakfast yet, and the soldiers left him boiled sweet potatoes and potatoes.

He gave it directly to the female chief, indicating that she could eat it.

The chief, who was so familiar with the plants of this land, was stunned by the sweet sweet potatoes and soft potatoes.

Delicious and filling, it seems that this group of people planted it themselves!
Although they would also scatter grass seeds around the big trees of the tribe, there are still a few that can grow to maturity. She must replace this delicious root!
The female chief was sweating from anxiety, and after gesturing for a long time, Hei Wa had no choice but to take out the rice paper board and let her draw.

"Want our sweet potato? Exchange it with grass seeds and prey?" Heiwa's interpretation was correct, and the female chief drew very clearly.

"We don't lack this!" Hei Wa scratched her head, suddenly thinking of the pigeon eggs her sons earned for their mother in the Inca Empire.

He quickly took out a few pigeon eggs from his purse (actually in the space), and showed the female chief.

"We can exchange this, this stone, for sweet potatoes!" It didn't work, and he continued to draw on paper.

The female chief is not stupid at all. She took it and looked at it. Most of the women in this land like this kind of stone that glistens in the sun. When they dig roots, they will occasionally dig it.

Seeing the female chief nodding, Hei Wa finally felt relieved, and he put the sweet potatoes dug up today into the female chief's five large baskets.

Tell her to take it back to the tribe, how many diamonds are sweet potatoes worth?Let her figure it out, as long as they have it, send it.

Hei Wa was ashamed to bully the other female chiefs. This was different from the emeralds everywhere on the beach. Pigeon eggs might not be so easy to find.

So he didn't know how to quote the quotation, thinking that he could exchange ten or eight at most.

But he didn't know that the female chief was a real person, and hurried back to the Big Tree Tribe, collecting all the diamonds that the women had picked up.

Such a pot-bellied earthenware pot was filled with half a pot directly, and Hei Wa carried it here.

Heiwa's conscience hurts, besides the transparent diamonds, there are also many colored diamonds, light blue and pink.The only natural red color made him short of breath.

Red diamond, the best of diamonds!

No diamond is smaller than a thumb, and the largest ones are bigger than pigeon eggs!That's hundreds of carats, right?
There is no such thing as diamonds in Daxia at this time. The soldiers only know that this thing is more valuable than gold.

But no matter how valuable it is, it's only a little bit. Several people glanced at it and were not very interested.

As an ear-splitting man, Heiwa actually bought the largest dozen or so diamonds under the noses of everyone. His wife deserves it.

Uncle Zhongqin, who had recovered a little bit of his conscience, gave the Dashu tribe a sweet potato planting map before the aborigine who sent the diamonds left. Yuan Wenjie and the others have drawn dozens of planting manuals in the past few months.

Teaching him how to fish is worse than giving him fish!
Fortunately, there are not many people in the Big Tree tribe, and they only ate less than half of it. The female chief is a wise person. After seeing this planting map with clear pictures and texts, she immediately decided to use the remaining sweet potatoes as seeds.

Every tribe has some crafts that are not humane, just like their big tree tribe.

There are memory inheritances for hundreds of edible plants. There are many poisonous plants here. In other tribes, people are poisoned to death every year. The Big Tree tribe has never suffered from this crime.

Accepting this kind of planting skills from others, the female chief felt that she owed a great favor again.

Since these people are also rare in these shining stones besides yellow bumps, then they should find some more and give them away.

No matter where, even among the aborigines, there are honest people and there are also dishonest people.

The Lion Tribe, after being intimidated by the Fireball Team, they have been honest for a few months.

However, due to the greed of human nature, after hearing that this group of people actually gave the jungle tribe a lot of food, their eyes turned red.Not only did they not give them good things, but they also caught a lot of their prey!
Originally, they wanted to come out in full force and catch these people by surprise.

But they sneaked around the base camp and looked again and again. There were so many people that they couldn't count them all.

Whether it is the number of opponents or the guys in the opponent's hands, it shows a serious problem-they can't beat them all!
They couldn't beat them and didn't want to let them go, so they thought of their neighbors.
