Prehistoric Woman Age

    Today's...there is one more chapter, so stay tuned!

    This trip to the Ulla Tribe is really good! Not only did the 20 people who went with them brought back their wives, but they also exchanged a small amount of porcelain for an open-pit coal mine with excellent coal reserves.

    After mining, I found out that the hill and the bottom nearly 100 meters are all high-quality anthracite, and the surface rock covered on it is very thin, even if the tools are very simple, it is not much difficult to mine.

    When coal is used for pottery making and kiln firing, it not only saves manpower, but also the quality of the fired pottery is even better, which is close to ceramics. Before the brick kiln could not keep up with the fuel, it was not expanded. Now the fuel problem has been solved, and two more brick kiln factories have been built in the tribe.

    The Atayal tribe presents a booming architectural trend. Except for the hunting party that hunted the food of the day, everyone else joined the huge project of building the city walls and houses. Women, children and old people help with mud and bricks, and the strong labor force is on the construction site, throwing off their arms and working hard.

    The collection team has stopped going out to collect wild vegetables, because spring is coming to an end, and many wild vegetables in the wild are old. Moreover, the vegetables planted in the tribe have gradually matured. Vegetables grown by yourself taste more fresh and tender than wild vegetables!

    Time flies by without knowing it. An'er has let go of the construction of the city wall and house to Yingye. Yingye has become the busiest one in the tribe, and except for the occasional stroll around the construction site, she devotes most of her energy to the crops rising higher and higher in the fields.

    Perhaps because these lands have accumulated nutrients for thousands of years, crops have grown unexpectedly well. The roots are deep, the seedlings are strong, look around. There is a lush green everywhere, which is very gratifying. The women and children of the clan are more industrious, and in their free time, they tend to the fields so that they cannot see a single weed.

    After a catastrophic winter, God seems to want to make up for people. The whole spring has been fine and rainy, and the seedlings in the fields are almost the same every day. Ann likes evening time. Strolling around the ridge, depicting the scene of the harvest in my heart...

    On this day, she brought Daer's little friend. While walking on the ridge. The little guy took the mammoth and ran wildly in the field, playing a game of hide-and-seek at some point. It was late spring and early summer, and the wheat had grown to the height of Daer's waist. The little guy walked along the wheat field into the wheat field. One cat's waist can't see his trace.

    "An'er. You can't find me! Hey... Guess where I am?" The little guy bent his knees and had a great time in the wheat field.

    An'er followed his voice and looked over, and found that a row of wheat kept trembling, and the corners of her mouth twitched. She deliberately pretended not to see it, and said loudly, "Da'er? Where are you? Why can't I see you! Come out quickly..."

    The little guy suddenly popped out and smiled proudly: "I can't find it! An'er can't find me..."

    After a few times, the little guy's exclamation suddenly came out: "An! An! Come on, let's see what's wrong with this wheat seedling?? There are a lot of little bugs on it!"

    Bug? ? An'er was taken aback. It suddenly occurred to her that she seemed to have seen in the data that spring wheat developed late and the stems and leaves were tender. Easy to produce wheat aphid pests!

    She hurriedly bent over, pushed aside the lush leaves of the wheat seedlings, and saw that there were indeed some small aphids on the stems and leaves! She checked the wheat seedlings carefully again, and slowly let go of her heart: Fortunately, the pest infestation did not last for a long time, and no irreparable damage was caused.

    "What should I do? The wheat has worms! The worms are too small and there are so many wheat that I can't catch them all with my hands!" Vegetables catch worms, the little guy knows that worms are not good for vegetables and food.

    Seeing that Da'er's small face, originally full of smiles, now wrinkled into a bun shape, he smiled and pinched his soft little face and said: "Don't worry, I have a way Now you go to the construction site of the house and help me find twenty male laborers and fifty female clansmen!"

    Da Er agreed, jumped on the back of the little mammoth, and ran away like the wind. An'er checked several other fields and found that the upland rice and rice stems also had symptoms of aphids, but they were lighter than those in the wheat fields.

    An'er sighed softly in her heart, she knew that aphids sucked the stems, leaves and tender ears of rice and wheat, which not only affected the growth and development of crops, but also secreted a kind of honeydew to cause sooty disease. Affect photosynthesis and thousand-grain weight, resulting in a 20 to 30 percent reduction in yield! no! This is the first time she has farmed in a large area on unpolluted land. She must be successful! Otherwise, it will affect the enthusiasm of the clansmen to work. If this time fails, and the concept of planting will be proposed in the future, I am afraid that the clansmen will not be so full of support!

    An'er thought of reading an ancient novel about crossing farming and once sighed to Ruoya: ancient times were not easy, especially for the common people. Plant pesticides, fertilizers are just manure...

    In that book, how did the protagonist treat the aphids? It seems to be said to use plant ash... Plant ash not only has the effect of decontamination, but also prevents pests and diseases! The female protagonist who traveled through seemed to say that plant ash is alkaline, and it is very effective against pests and diseases such as aphids and red spiders. She tried to think about how the protagonist in the book did it? ? It seems to be soaking the plant ash in water, and then spraying the stems and leaves with the plant ash dip...

    An'er regretted that she only looked at interesting plots at first, and just swept away the boring and unconcerned things. She recalled hard, when Daer came with a mighty army, she finally remembered that the plant ash extract was prepared at a ratio of 2 to 3 percent.

    In addition to winter, the tribe has always used firewood and grass as fuel for cooking. Therefore, the most important thing is grass ash! An Er's face that was originally covered with clouds finally had a tendency to disperse.

    "An'er, what's the matter? I heard Da'er say that the crops have worms??" The one who took the lead was Lao Luo, who was sweating profusely and had an anxious look on his face. The clansmen behind him had worried expressions on their faces.

    The people in the tribe are full of yearning for the rural life described by An'er. There is no need to hunt, no need to gather, and no need to face the danger of being swallowed by wild beasts at any time, so you can have endless food. The clansmen have never planted food, and most of them have a wait-and-see attitude when planting. When the seedlings in the fields grow up day by day, the hearts of the clansmen slowly relax. These crops, like their children, watched it grow.

    Insect pests, the tribesmen have also seen it. There is a family in the clan that grows two rows of small green vegetables. The hostess is ill, and the man has to go out hunting and take care of young children and sick women, so he can't take care of the vegetables in the vegetable field. As a result, when the woman recovered, she found that the leaves of the green vegetables were all eaten away.

    This matter has spread among the clan. Therefore, when Daer said that there were worms in the fields, all the tribesmen turned pale. Worms in vegetable fields can be caught by hand. However, with so many rice fields and wheat fields, even if all the laborers in the tribe are dispatched, it is impossible to catch them all quickly. Will there be a situation in the vegetable field where the wheat and rice are all eaten up, and the work is in vain? What about the field?

    It is well known in the tribe that An'er does not like to eat meat and prefers to eat vegetables and grass seeds. No one cares more about these crops and hopes to harvest them more than her. How much effort and labor An'er has paid for these crops, the clansmen are also aware of it. If the crops were really gone, she would definitely not be so calm.

    An'er said to the clansmen who rushed over: "Rice, wheat, all have aphids! Fortunately, it was discovered in time, and it would not cause too much loss!"

    Girl's mother looked at the endless, thousands of acres of fields with a worried look, and said, "There are worms! Then we have to catch them quickly? That... what kind of worm is a toothworm? Does it look like animal teeth??"

    An'er heard the words and laughed, and said, "This 'aphid' is not the other's 'tooth'! This kind of insect is very small, and it is necessary to use all human hands to catch it. Well, the crops are almost ruined! Niu'er mother, you take the woman you can spare from the clan, and move all the buckets and pots at home to the pond at the back of the village. Lao Luo, you come with me !"

    Everyone is instructed to act quickly. An'er mixes the plant ash with water at a ratio of 3:100 and stirs it thoroughly, and then leaves it for more than ten hours before filtering. After the **** is clarified, the plant ash extract is made.

    The one

    In the evening, all the pots and buckets in the tribe, as well as other containers that can hold water, were used, including those originally used for cooking, bathing, and even just fired Large pottery has not been spared either.

    The next day, the mighty team rushed into the rice fields and wheat fields with pots and buckets. Construction sites also spontaneously take a day off to support agricultural construction.

    More than 1,000 acres of land, it took three days to complete the spraying. It was not because the manpower could not keep up, but because there were not many containers for soaking the plant ash. It was also from that day that An'er had the idea of ​​burning some water tanks and jugs. Although the Atayal tribe has spring water on the left and Biqing River on the right, it is more convenient to use water. However, some tribes are far away from the water source, making it inconvenient to obtain water. If you have a water tank, you can use it for two or three days. You don’t have to run several times a day just to get a can or a bucket of water…

    It can also be said to be a blessing in disguise! This pest and disease tossed the Atayal tribe a lot, and in the end they survived without any risk, but it gave An'er inspiration, and a large number of fired water tanks were very popular among the surrounding tribes. The Atayal tribe also made a small fortune as a result! A tank of 300 catties of prey or an adult labor, compared to those pots and other pottery, it is really a good deal!
