Super Chief

To be honest, Shixiong didn't expect the Xiaohe tribe to plant so many soybeans. What surprised Shixiong most is that the Xiaohe tribe has grown soybeans for more than 30 years...

Of course, this thirty years does not refer to the history of soybean planting in the Xiaohe tribe. From the establishment of the Xiaohe tribe to the present, it has been more than ten years. How can it be possible that the soybeans have been planted for more than thirty years?

This thirty-odd year period refers to the history of soybean planting in the tribes where some of the Xiaohe tribe had been.

The Xiaohe tribe is a secluded tribe. Although most of the people in the tribe are from the Chekasha tribe, there are also some like the Kree, the Yuchi and even the Cherokee. The entire Xiaohe tribe is like a big grocery store, with her forgiving mind to accommodate the Indians who are not willing to participate in the war within a few hundred miles of nearby.

Several of the tribe’s older Cree people are the main force in growing soybeans. According to Lei Ying, when these Cree people fled from the Cree tribe in the south to the Xiaohe tribe, they began to plant soybeans on the surrounding hillsides.

These Cree people planted soybeans in their tribe when they were very young for more than 30 years.

Although soybeans are not very friendly to the stomach, this crop is a very good rotating crop. The Xiaohe tribe has long known that rotating soybeans in farmland can raise land well and make farmland more fertile.

Of course, this is also brought by those Kerry people.

Obviously, the Kerry people in the south of the Great Smoky Mountains are better at planting, and these guys even know that planting soybeans can nourish the land.

But it is not surprising that the Cree understand these things. After all, the Cree must live farther south, which is closer to the Spanish colony.

The Spaniards entered the American continent on a large scale much earlier than those in Britain, France, Germany, Holland, Portugal and other countries. Although the Spaniards did not develop much in North America, who knew that the Spaniards would not bring soybeans into this crop earlier. How about to the American continent?

The Cree may get their soybeans from the Spaniards.

In any case, it was a surprise to be able to get about 30 bags of soybeans from the Xiaohe tribe this time.

If more than 30 bags of soybeans are used as seeds, then the soybean output of Gaoshu tribe will be greatly improved this year. More than 30 bags of soybeans are almost 800 kilograms of soybeans, so many seeds are enough for planting 150 to 60 mu of soybean fields.

If you count the soybean seeds retained by the Gaoshu tribe, this year's soybean planting area in the Gaoshu tribe will be close to 300 acres!

The output of 300 acres of soybeans, although it is not possible to extract oil on a large scale, but at least there will be no shortage of tofu...

"What do you want?" Bai Yun asked Shi Xiong.

Tomorrow Shi Xiong was about to leave. After dinner that evening, Shi Xiong took Bai Yun out to walk the bend as usual, but when he was walking, he was distracted, thinking about the soybeans, which made Bai Yun unhappy.

That's right, if you don't think about having such a beautiful and charming lady by your side, you have to think about those round beans, no wonder the beauties are unhappy.

"Oh..." Shi Xiong smiled at Bai Yun apologetically, "I was thinking about the soybeans I saw in the afternoon. With these soybeans as seeds, our tribe will be able to harvest more soybeans this fall. You may not know that although our tribe also has soybeans, but the quantity is too small, the seeds left last year were not as large as the soybeans that the leader Lei Ying gave me, so I have been worried about where to get more soybeans."

Shi Xiong's remarks are not nonsense. When Major Hank came some time ago, Shi Xiong brought a lot of crop seeds to Shi Xiong, but there were no soybeans. After all, although soybeans are planted in a large area in Europe at this time, no one has brought this stuff to the New World, and Major Hank naturally can't get soybeans.

As for the French, there is no such thing.

"With these beans, you will be able to make more delicious tofu in the future?" Bai Yun asked excitedly, seeming to remember the last time I ate tofu in the Gaoshu tribe. The girl couldn't help licking her tongue unexpectedly, as if she was reminiscing about the delicacy.

"Well, these beans are used to make tofu. When there are more soybeans in the tribe, I will make tofu for you every day." Shixiong smiled and said, the girl nodded fiercely.

"In fact, in addition to making tofu, this soybean can also be used to squeeze oil, and the squeezed oil can be used to make many dishes. As for the soybean meal left over from the oil extraction, it can also be fed to livestock and poultry..." Speaking of this, Shi Xiong couldn't help but patted his forehead. He forgot that the Xiaohe tribe did not have captive livestock at all. As for poultry, there were some, but it was far less than the Gaoshu tribe.

But fortunately, when Baiyun went to Gaoshu tribe last time, she had seen the tamed bison and also saw a large number of poultry, so she was not surprised.

"This soybean looks like a really good thing." Bai Yun said with feeling.

When Shi Xiong was about to tell Bai Yun about other uses of soybeans, he suddenly heard a loud noise in front of him.

"...A female bear...wild wolf..."

"Good fellow, this bear is really big..."

I was far away, I couldn't hear what the people in front of them were saying, but it was obvious that some people had hunted the prey, it seemed to be a bear.

"Go, let's go over and take a look." Bai Yun apparently heard the voices of the people talking, and she took Shi Xiong's hand and walked quickly over there.

In fact, it has reached the depths of the valley, even deeper than the cave where the saltpeter mine is located. The valley where the Xiaohe tribe is located is divided near the cave of the saltpetre mine. One of the valleys ends with the saltpetre mine, and this valley has a winding mountain road leading to the outside world.

This mountain road is usually used by tribes when they go hunting. It is difficult to walk, but as long as you climb over that mountain, you can enter the depths of the Great Smoky Mountains. There are still a lot of prey in the depths of the Great Smoky Mountains. A small road with a safe distance has become a hunting channel for tribal warriors.

At this time, the sky was getting darker, the flames flickered in front, and at least more than 20 people held torches and surrounded it.

After approaching, Shi Xiong found a strong man standing in the crowd. This man Shi Xiong had met once, and that was the first time he met this man when he met Lei Ying in the wilderness.

This man Shixiong remembers his name is Dashan, the archer of the Xiaohe tribe, and an outstanding warrior. At that time, Lei Ying once asked him to try to open his big bow, but the guy didn't even open half of it, which was a bit embarrassing.

There were three dead wolves at the foot of the mountain. In addition, a big fellow fell to the ground motionless. It was a bear with many wounds on its body, and it was also a very large brown bear.

Although this bear is dead, it is really big. The height of this bear is definitely more than two meters. The size of this bear can be classified as the largest Kodiak brown bear.

In this era, the distribution of brown bears in North America is still very widespread. Although the stone bear does not know what subspecies of brown bear this brown bear is, this brown bear, which is comparable to the Kodiak brown bear, must have been very ferocious during his lifetime.

But the stone bear is also wondering, can there be such a big brown bear on the side of the Great Smoky Mountains?

Shaking his head, Shi Xiong heard Dashan talking to the people there.

"...A few of us originally hunted a deer in the mountain and were dragging the deer back. As a result, we heard that the front was very lively. It seemed that wolves were attacking something... .."

While talking, Dashan suddenly saw the stone bear who had just moved in, and he immediately nodded at the stone bear.

For this big Cherokee man, Da Shan still admires him very much. Among other things, the big bow used by this big man was enough to shock Da Shan. He had tried the power of the big bow with his own hands, and even though he tried his best, he couldn't pull the big bow halfway.

And this big man who can easily pull that big bow is really terrifying!

Shi Xiong smiled at him and motioned for him to continue telling the tribe.

Da Shan nodded and continued: "We slid over and found a group of wild wolves besieging a bear~www.readwn.com~Hey, this is the big guy."

Under the shining of the surrounding torches, the wounds on this bear were clearly visible, especially the wounds on the back even showed bones. Obviously, this bear was seriously injured under the attack of the pack of wild wolves.

A little guy asked: "Uncle Dashan, don't bears sleep in their dens at this time? How can they face up with wild wolves?"

The problem of this little guy is probably the problem of everyone on the scene.

Dashan shook his head and said, "I don't know how they matched, but I guess it's very likely that these wild wolves are extremely hungry, and then I found this sleeping female bear and these two little bear cubs, and then This group of wild wolves wanted to eat these two little bear cubs, but the mother bear quit, so she fought with this group of wild wolves."

The stone bear glanced at it and saw that there were two cubs under the foot of the mountain.

This is really a little bear cub. He is so small that he hasn't even opened his eyes yet. It's just that one of the little bear cubs has no breath, and there is a very obvious wound on its neck. And the other little bear cub was still alive, but he didn't know if it was cold, hungry, or scared. This little guy was trembling all over.

Seeing these two little bear cubs, Shi Xiong understood why these wild wolves would conflict with this female bear.

Brown bears are usually sent from May to July each year, and the pregnancy period lasts for more than half a year. The cubs are usually born in January and February in the mid-winter season.

The bear itself is the overlord of the jungle, especially the female bear with cubs.

These wild wolves are probably hungry too. Although they dare not anger the she bear with the cubs, they still have no problem dealing with the cubs. As a result, she didn't expect the mother bear to go crazy, so she started fighting with these wild wolves...
