Orcs’ Time Through Time

By the time of the harvest festival, our family has already stored reserves that can survive the winter even without the distribution of the clan. Of course, many families in the clan also store a lot. Just the scope of hunting has expanded from the plain on this side to the plain on the opposite bank.

There is no tribe on the plain on the other side for the time being, so there is no land grab. The downstream aquarists prefer fish in the water. Although we are also starting to eat fish, it has not yet threatened them. And they also understand that since we merged with the Xing clan, they are definitely not able to deal with it. Since we don't trouble them, they just stay alone. Although I heard from Luo Lei, I have seen people from the Aquarium probe their brains nearby and have been driven back. But we don't have time to pay attention to them for the time being. They are afraid that there is no problem, as long as they are well monitored. But from a development perspective, I still feel that we need to think about the long-term.

Our current population is increasing, the demand for daily things is increasing, and the food nearby is limited. It takes about three years for a cow to grow into a cow, and it takes three years for a mother to start giving birth, and can only give birth to one child at a time, and the survival rate is not necessarily guaranteed. Even if we pay more attention to hunting, it is impossible to only hit bulls but not cows and calves. This cycle itself is already too slow. The same is true for other animals.

We need to breed animals, not to say that we can shorten this cycle, but to increase the survival rate and maximize the fertility rate of a group. Of course, I also know that the result of inbreeding is likely to be degradation, but this is also beyond the current situation.

Otherwise, when we need more food, when hunting is not enough, and we are unwilling to relocate, just eating fish may make downstream aquarists want to do something. Although they now only probe their heads occasionally. But if it continues, it is estimated that they will explode!

Because this year’s harvest was a lot, new people joined in, and there were many sacrifices for the harvest festival. In this case, everyone celebrated with a bonfire for three days, so that the harvest festival later became a grand festival, not just Asking God to give us more food is like thanking God for giving us so much food.

After the harvest festival, it was time to harvest potatoes, sweet potatoes, etc. In addition to leading the females of the clan to harvest those shared by the clan, I also spent some time at home and Rona together with the potatoes planted at home. The sweet potatoes are all collected in the cellar that Rona and I dug, and the other part is to make sweet potato vermicelli and potato vermicelli in the evening. Although Rona is less than ten years old, as a traveler, he is still much better than me. To a large extent, he is responsible for digging the cellar.

The sweet potatoes and potatoes each received about 3,000 catties. In addition to giving half of each to the clan for distribution to other people, we actually stored about 500 catties each of sweet potatoes and potatoes, leaving a total of more than 500 catties of seeds. I ate a lot, and the remaining one thousand catties made more than one hundred catties of starch. I filled it in a sealed clay pot and planned to save it for the winter to make vermicelli and cook soup for Rona. Although this kid is stubborn, he can still adapt. Although I was a little uncomfortable at the beginning, a few days later I started calling Luo Lei and I to be "Aba" and "Ama", and he worked very hard. As long as I called him, I would try to do everything, but I would take it everywhere. Bring Ari.

A Rui may be because he had his own Abba when he was a child, so when we taught him to call Luo Lei "Abba", he was a little confused, but he was willing to call me "Ama" and he was very close to me, and had to sleep at night. Look at me first, and of course I will kiss him. Maybe it was once I saw Luo Lei kissing me. He also liked kissing his forehead. He would want me to kiss him and his brother. Of course, Ronal and I would kiss each other's foreheads, and Ari would be very happy. It's just that Ari is a little rusty with Loley. Up to now, the two little ghosts are not too close to Luo Lei. Obviously Luo Lei is good! Although, after he became the patriarch, I felt quite bored. Sure enough, the patriarch should be someone else, okay? I really miss the days when there was an old patriarch. I can instruct Luo Lei to do this and that. Now, he has been instigated by others and annoys me!

Compared to the relationship between me and the two children, Luo Lei is a little bit pitiful. Rona is okay. Maybe it’s because Abba teaches these males to do things. Although Rona can’t fly, Lo Lei can still teach him. Some hunting matters, so Rona is still willing to follow Luo Lei many times. Arui, who was mainly taken by me, didn't get close to him. As a result, Luo Lei told me several times in the evening how the Bello’s children made love to Bello. He would come to see him off when he went out, and then ran over to kiss him when he came home.

I was wondering if he was so blown that he wanted his child? Then he told him very seriously that even if he has his own children, he must take care of them! No, it should be said that if you have your own children, you have to take care of the adopted children and pay attention to their psychology. It will be very tiring! If there were one more child, how to raise them would be a big problem in this chaotic scene. Now that he and I are very busy, raising a child is not easy, so I can't throw it to Rona again... well, I won't admit that this is an excuse for me to change the subject again. (Rorley: Even so, I still want my and Arnold’s children...)

I have thought before that if I have children, I must give them a lot of love, no matter whether they are outstanding or not, I must love them and take care of them. In fact, during the time they came to our house, apart from providing them with food, clothing and shelter, I hardly worried about them. But their minds, I think it's better to pay more attention to them, especially Rona who has grown up.

I also harvested a lot of pumpkins and peppers that I grew at home. Of course, I ate a lot of them at first. Rona and Ari were good at eating peppers, especially Ari. Is it because eating peppers should be cultivated from an early age? Luo Lei didn't eat it all the time. It's probably because I used to play him to leave him too deep a shadow. When he saw the pepper, he showed an expression of physical disgust. But occasionally I put some chili powder in the barbecue, he can still eat it, but he can't let him see the chili being put on...

We also sent a lot of pumpkins and peppers to the people in the clan to eat together. Some people like peppers, some people don't, but pumpkins are still loved by most people. We pick pumpkins and peppers as we eat them. I put the rest on the shelf at home when they are old enough to be collected. I plan to eat them slowly, and some of them are left with seeds.

Rapeseed and cotton are grown in a coarse sowing method, and there is little management, and I don’t know if the planting method is correct, although the things here are generally much larger than I remembered. For most of the half acre of rapeseed and cotton, they only received less than two hundred catties each. Soybeans were harvested for less than 50 catties because they had not many seeds. After the vegetable stalks were harvested, they were eaten by cattle and sheep. It saves Rona a lot of things. He seems to be quite satisfied with it.

I asked Rona to take Ari at home to guard these things and basking, while also going outside to collect flax, ramie, wild cotton, **** and so on. The clan already has a certain degree of recognition that most of my things are private, and even if I take them out, I don’t know what to do if I don’t teach them. I still have the idea of ​​private ownership first, and then I want to make it public. This is something I can't change. But I also told the high priest and other people in the clan that when I succeed in the experiment, I will slowly teach you how to make these things. Anyway, I will have more variety in the future. The so-called business lies in the fact that people do not have me. , People are new to me, as long as there is something in my mind, I am not afraid. So everyone opened their eyes and closed their eyes and asked me to take all those things home.

I harvest a lot of flax, ramie, cotton, soybeans, rapeseed, etc. Of course, I also ask everyone to harvest cotton, soybeans, and rapeseed. Rapeseed is because I said it’s used to squeeze oil, and soybeans are used to cook meat and bone soup. Everyone has tried fried noodles and it's better. However, everyone is obviously not very enthusiastic about the inedible things like cotton, and they have collected a little bit, but it is really not much, and everyone is required to spin and weave. You don’t have much time now. If you get some, you still get some. The female and the child in order to give it to me.

The cotton here is already scattered, and I can't help it, and the cotton can't be eaten. For those who are not full here, it is better to have animal skins than cotton. Therefore, even if you want to grow cotton in the future, you still need to let everyone see the actual benefits when they are full. But for me, animal skins are not breathable and not as comfortable as cotton cloth. Although the quality of the cotton cloth I woven is only average, it is at least fiber. I also thought that maybe I could try to make two quilts in winter, and I could make two small quilts for Rona and Ari. These two little guys sometimes cleverly make me feel pitiful. Rona is sullen to do things. Although Ari is still a little bit naughty, now he has learned to do his best to help with things. Sometimes when I am doing things, Ari will bring water for me to drink. Maybe this is the benefit of having children?

Taking into account the whole family, I think maybe we have to completely solve the problem of eating before we can consider issues such as cotton and linen. But this year there are rapeseeds and the tung oilseeds I harvested. I guess it will be enough for me to toss for a long time. I also collected a lot of cabbage seeds and loofah seeds and plan to plant them in spring. If there is not enough land at home, I might have to open land on the plains. At that time, I was thinking that one day I will live on the plains, but the real realization is already ten years later.

Because I am responsible for the rapeseed oil extraction in the clan, the clan has more and more livestock, which has grown to seven calves, sixteen sheep, more than twenty piglets, and more than three hundred pigs. There are rabbits of different sizes (this does not include the ones that have been eaten, the reproduction of the rabbits is really amazing), there are also three cows, six sheep, seven pigs, thirty-two rabbits, and nine wild ducks. There are eight wild geese and five turkeys. Just organizing the clan and preparing hay and so on make me very busy.

Luo Lei couldn't rely on it either. He was responsible for hunting and making life tools in the clan, and occasionally he was sent out hunting by me. Therefore, the work of picking cottonseeds of more than two hundred catties of cotton can only be done by Rona and Ari at home.

Fortunately, both of them are sensible, even the little A Rui also moved a small wooden stool and sat next to his brother to help "pick the black seeds out of the white flowers, throw a bunch of white flowers, and throw the seeds in the basket." . In fact, I am really worried that they will grow up before I have time to care about them. So no matter how busy I am, I try to talk to them before they go to bed.

The so-called talking to the children, most of the time I and A Rui said something, "For example, A Rui has a lamb, and this sheep has grown up and gave birth to two lambs, and when the two lambs grow up, they will be separated from each other. Two lambs were born, and A Rui has a few sheep in total." Or talk about what they have seen and heard today. Of course, A Rui said a lot. Rona listened quietly and occasionally added a sentence or two. But this also makes me at least feel at ease, at least I can comfort myself, I have tried my best to do my duty for them.

After squeezing the oil from the rapeseed, the harvest is processed, the seeds that should be reserved are kept, the wheat is ground into noodles, and a lot of hay and firewood are prepared. It will soon be winter. What can be done this year It's also very good, this is no way, after all, there is only so much time every day. As for the tung oil seeds, although I made some tung oil, but I don’t know the effect. I asked Luo Lei to paint the roof. As for the effect, let’s talk about the effect. I’m not very familiar with this industry. I just looked at it. It's only in the book. When the book comes to use, I hate less. I used to think that those books on agronomy were very boring, but now that I think about it, I should have read more.

When I started to relax in the winter, I first made six-sided roving cloth of three meters long and two meters wide from sun-dried flax and ramie, spun some coarse sand, and started to put it in the yard according to the method I remembered. The cotton pops up, of course I can't say that it is very good, but I remember that in my memory, the old craftsmen in my hometown did just that. After a whole day of hard work, although we did not do very well, Luo Lei and I made two cotton tyres about 2.8 meters long and 1.8 meters wide. Of course, Luo Lei made the gourd painting scoop. Still better than me, so I have to admit that people are talented.

In the next few days, Luo Lei made two cotton tires of 1.9 meters long and 1.4 meters wide. I played with Rona and A Rui at home. (Of course, A Rui played again. I Watching with Rona), spinning a three-meter-long and two-meter-wide cotton cloth on six sides. With the quilt made by Luo Lei, two quilts of 2.8 meters long and 1.8 meters wide were sewn with cotton cloth on one side and bison leather on the other side, and two quilts of 1.9 meters long and 1.4 meters were sewn. A wide quilt. For the two long quilts, I plan to give one to Luo Lei and one to myself. In winter, it is better to sleep on a quilt. It is not easy to grab the quilt, and I can sleep more comfortably. The two short quilts were given to Rona and one to Ari.

Now I don’t intend to let everyone know the usefulness of cotton. After all, the amount of cotton is not enough now, and we don’t have time to grow cotton. I plan to wait until everyone’s life is stable and I will consider planting cotton for heating after I have grown enough food. Therefore, the leather jackets I made for a family of four are made of wool on one side and cowhide on the other side, with some stuffed inside. The popped cotton looked like an animal skin jacket, but it was much warmer than a single-layer animal skin jacket. After putting it on, A Rui was very happy. She wore one piece on her body and hugged one piece in her arms. I showed us his new leather jacket in front of me and Luo Lei. Although Rona didn't say anything, he still wore one animal leather jacket for a long time, and he couldn't bear to wear the other one. Luo Lei and I made one each last year, but this year we only made one more.

After removing all the cotton seeds, except for quilts and quilts, I spun the rest into cotton cloth, and spent time weaving flax and ramie. Several sets of underwear are made of cotton cloth, and robes are made of linen cloth and ramie cloth. They can be worn as underwear in winter and as clothes in summer. They can be worn directly on the body by wearing animal skins, which is always uncomfortable. I think that next spring, we will sprinkle some flax and ramie seeds, and we will open a few plots of land, plus the wild ones on the grasslands, and we should be able to teach the tribe to weave them in winter. There is also some flax. I let Luo Lei twist it into a rope, and weave a big net and two fishing nets. The big net made by Luo Lei is very strong, and he has no problem sleeping on it. Sometimes I can't help but think, maybe I broke the evolutionary program here.

However, if I can come, is there his reason? I won’t say thank you to the Time and Space Administration, maybe it is a malfeasance... This is also a joke, I hope everyone in the Time and Space Administration will not mind OTZ...
