primitive survival evolution

Chapter 61 Fertilizer
morning.

The golden morning light is a bit harsh, and it rained last night, and the air is full of the fragrance of earth.

In more than a month, the vegetables in the vegetable garden have grown green and juicy, and the melon seedlings are happily climbing the wooden frame, and the large field of wheat in the distance has also begun to ear.

All over the field, there are mud holes with a diameter of half a meter.

These mud holes are the nests of devil frogs. After being tamed, devil frogs can be raised like dogs. They defend the fields, and the mice, pheasants, hares, and even some ancient insects that break in become their snacks.

Two pregnant women are holding rattan baskets and feeding fish and miscellaneous materials to the devil frogs in the field. Because the mice and other animals dare not come to the vegetable garden during the day, people have to feed the devil frogs once every morning.

Next to the vegetable garden and crop fields, several thatched huts were built. There were people stationed there more than a month ago. At that time, the devil frogs had not been tamed, and the mice would always steal the crops, so the tribe decided to build thatched huts at the foot of the mountain to guard them. crops.

There are several animal pens at the foot of the mountain, as well as thatched houses for storing animal tools and fodder, all of which need to be guarded.

In addition, the fortress on the mountain was too crowded, and some clansmen moved down the mountain to live there. Now that there are direwolves and giant beasts, even at night, the mountain is considered safe.

Not to mention, the people in charge of farming still like to live at the foot of the mountain, so that they can easily farm and take care of the crops.

Li Yan is standing in the vegetable garden at the moment, studying the crops with the tribesmen, and he also learned from Wen Shikou that it turns out that many kinds of crops are needed to make animal feed.

For example, yellow lemon fruit, purple fruit (blueberry), small corn, and small potatoes and carrots that the tribe does not have for the time being. These five crops are commonly used materials for making animal feed, and are in great demand.

"Don't worry, there will be an autumn meeting after the autumn harvest. We will go to the Yi tribe, and I will return some small potatoes and carrots." Li Yan said to Wen Shi.

Wen Shi is the beast witch of the tribe, responsible for cultivating the beasts of the tribe. Li Yan will try his best to meet his requests.

"That's good. Now we only have small corn, and there are not many beasts that can be tamed. If there are small potatoes and carrots, I can make more kinds of animal feed, and the tribe can tame more beasts. Wen Shi said, "We snatched some feed by the lake. I don't know what it is, but it can also be eaten by animals. By the way, I also found some insect repellent, which is a good thing." "

"Insect repellant?" Li Yan was puzzled.

"That's right, if you apply insect repellant on your body, the insects will not dare to approach it. This insect repellent can also calm down the insects and help us tame them." Wen Shi replied.

"Insects are really powerful. That tribe by the lake tamed the oxygen scorpions." Li Yan said again, "By the way, how about our oxygen scorpions?"

"I hatched the oxygen scorpion eggs in the grass, but it took some time to hatch." Wen Shi said.

At this time, two couples of men and women were carrying a huge clam shell with a diameter of more than one meter into the vegetable garden. The big clam shell was filled with yellow and smelly water.

"Patriarch, get out of the way."

"We're going to manure."

These men and women struggled to hold the clam shells, and they didn't dislike the stinky dung inside. Long ago, when Li Yan suggested that manure could make the crops grow better, the tribesmen tried it once and found that it was true. So the tribal people carefully collected the excrement of humans and animals, especially beside the animal pens, they also dug a big pit to collect the excrement of animals.

However, manure cannot be directly applied to crops, which will lead to "burning seedlings". Manure must be fermented before it can be used for fertilization. In this way, the output of fertilizer will be slow. With the expansion of tribal agricultural planting area, the supply of fertilizer is not enough at all. superior.

After accumulating for a month, there is only this clamshell manure, and the vegetables in the vegetable garden grow almost the same, so the tribesmen use precious fertilizers to fertilize the vegetables. .

Seeing the tribal people coming to fertilize, Li Yan and Wen Shi hurriedly escaped from the vegetable garden. The tribal people in the vegetable garden took dung scoops made from broken gourds and fertilized each vegetable scoop by scoop. Fertilizer is very precious. Not very willing to fertilize.

Manure is nitrogen fertilizer, and charcoal ash is potassium fertilizer. What the tribe lacks most now is nitrogen fertilizer.

Li Yan looked at the people fertilizing the vegetable garden and pondered for a moment, thought of something, and then asked, "By the way, Shi, is there an insect that eats feces? Can that insect be tamed?"

Li Yan remembered the animal world he had watched on the Discovery Channel before. One of the episodes was about African dung beetles. African dung beetles specialize in eating dung, and the dung they pull out is a kind of processed "fertilizer".

"Insects that eat feces?" Wen Shi thought for a moment, then nodded: "Yes! There is a kind of beetle called dung beetle, which specializes in eating feces, but this kind of insect is very wild, and it needs to be tamed with insect repellant once, so they won't run away."

"Insect repellent? We just snatched some back." Li Yanxi said, "This dung beetle specializes in eating the feces of giant beasts. It shouldn't be hard to find. I just plan to go out and tame a male elephant for our female elephant." mating."

"I remember that there are dung beetles like this in the Onyx Forest, but there are strange beasts in the Onyx Forest. There is a particularly powerful strange beast Matenghua there. Many soldiers of the Wenjia tribe died there." Wen Shi worried.

"Hehe, the marten flower has died a long time ago, I decided to go to the agate forest again."

Li Yan looked up at the animal pen at the foot of the mountain again, and said, "Go with Tamar and tame a few more animals by the way, Shi, you go and prepare some feed and anesthetics."

"Yeah." Wen Shi nodded.

Just as he was talking, there was a burst of lively cheers from the animal pen. The animal pen was surrounded by wood, so it was hard to see what was going on.

Li Yan and Wen Shi rushed there.

Entering the animal pen, I saw Tamar and a group of men and women laughing and laughing around Parasaurolophus' den.

"what happened?"

Li Yan quickly squeezed the crowd away and saw that in the parasaurolophus nest made of grass, there was an oval-shaped giant egg twice the size of a basketball with a white and flawless surface. The parasaurolophus was lying on the other side of the nest. side.

"Did Parasaurolophus lay eggs?" Li Yanxi said.

"That's right, that's right, we can hatch little Parasaurolophus." Tamar laughed.

"There is no male to mate with it, how could there be a small parasaurolophus?" Li Yan asked back.

"That's right!" Tamar said disappointedly, "Just eat the beast eggs, anyway, they won't be able to hatch little beasts."

Wen Shi next to him looked at it and said with a smile: "The eggs of Parasaurolophus can be used as feed for Velociraptor."

The Velociraptor has fast movement speed, strong attack, and team spirit, so many tribes will choose the Velociraptor as the basic battle pet.

If the Jiang tribe wants to form a combat team and a hunting team, it needs a velociraptor.

Tamar also knew this, and for the sake of the tribe's strength, she quickly picked up the pair of saurosaurolophus eggs and handed them to Wen Shi. Parasaurolophus was a dragon tamed by Tamar, so it didn't show any dissatisfaction.

"Stone! Use this egg to make Velociraptor feed."

"Uh-huh."

　Potatoes, corn, and sweet potatoes have a huge yield, and placing them in primitive societies would destroy the balance. If there were these crops, there would be no backward primitive people, so they were appropriately weakened and set as undomesticated crops, so a small word was added.
