let go of that priestess

Two months later, summer is over and autumn is here.

January 7, the first year of civilization.

With the help of two machines for spinning and weaving, Ji Cheng and Jiang Hongdou finally obtained food, clothing and housing with the help of more and more familiar experiences.

Putting on a full set of linen suits, underwear (underwear), clothes, trousers, and shoes, the two helped each other tidy up, and then looked at each other with amazement in their eyes.

It is true that people rely on clothes.

"I feel that you are more beautiful~"

"The same to you......"

"Uh." Ji Cheng blinked: "I'm prettier too? No, it's handsome."

"Oh."

handsome?Is this the word used?

Jiang Hongdou stared at Ji Cheng with twinkling eyes, not knowing how to describe it.

The style of the clothes was proposed and checked by Ji Cheng, and now the overall look is really good-looking.

If I had to describe it, it would be that if this set of clothes was placed in the Big Wood Clan, it would definitely replace her previous 'gorgeous' animal skin clothes, and would undoubtedly become a new sacrificial costume!

In short, there is a special ... temperament.

It's hard to take your eyes off...

Ji Cheng felt a little embarrassed by her gaze, turned his head to avoid her gaze, and asked:

"Is your chest comfortable? I gave you some extra measurements when measuring the size. The linen is still a bit rough. I thought it would be better if it was looser."

"Hey, it's comfortable." Jiang Hongdou was distracted by him changing the subject.

She moved her lower and upper body and said, "I've never worn something like this before, it feels like it won't fall off, it's very comfortable!"

"That's good... just wear the underwear like this for now, and I'll change it for you later when I get more delicate materials."

Ji Cheng took Jiang Hongdou out and said as he walked, "Okay, apart from putting on new clothes today, there is one more special thing to do."

"Eh? What?"

"Spring planting and autumn harvest~"

Ji Cheng took her to Tian Zhonghang: "Now is the harvest season."

Chapter 38 Lack of Manpower

The half-acre field was dug for a while, and then the harvest was counted.

Target No. [-] and No. [-], the harvest is hardly counted, and the seeds are a few.

This is normal, after all, the planting area only occupies a corner, and the planting goal is not to harvest.

As for the potatoes in the main planting areas, there are 1467 potatoes, large and small, weighing about 326 kilograms.

This income can spoil Ji Cheng's surprise.

According to Blue Star's data, the yield per mu of potatoes ranges from one to two thousand catties for poorly planted potatoes, and five thousand catties for well planted potatoes.

That is to say, the worst 1000 catties will be halved, and half mu will yield 500 catties.

Now the harvest is 326 catties, which is not even enough for the worst data, but it must be considered that this is the first generation of varieties that have not been artificially bred before.

Moreover, it rained continuously in the summer before, and they didn't do any protection, the soil was loosened, and they could still harvest these.

This shows that the potatoes dug back have strong environmental adaptability.

It means that the fertilized field reclaimed by Ji Cheng has never been a better environment for these potatoes.

"Okay, a lot!..."

Jiang Hongdou stared dumbfounded at the potato hill in front of him, recalling that he only paid a basket and a half of potatoes, 28 pieces, he couldn't believe it.

"So, is this overproduction!?"

"Uh." Ji Cheng blinked when he heard the words, suppressed his surprise, patted her on the shoulder, and said slightly heavily: "Not yet."

"no!?"

"Ang, let me do the math for you."

Ji Cheng said: "We are doing a lot of physical labor now. I count as 2 catties of grain per day, and yours is 1.5 catties, so we consume 1277.5 catties of grain a year.

Half an mu yields 326 catties of grain, and when it is planted in autumn and harvested in spring, it will add up to 652 catties.

You see, this is far from enough to eat. We need the fruits we usually collect and the white birds we raise to make up for it. "

"This..." Jiang Hongdou was stunned, Ji Cheng did his calculations very quickly!

In the past, she was also in charge of counting the crops in the clan, and her counting was second to none in the clan, but now she hasn't kept up with it for a long time.

After a while, she knelt down and gestured on the ground with a branch, and finally figured out that "jin" is a standard that refers to the amount of food.

Just like in the past, the 'big' and 'small' of the prey were used as the standard in the family.

Also like now, the pot with cement ratio and the "acre" he used to say in the field are also standard.

But the calculation is good, but after the calculation, Jiang Hongdou quickly realized that there are some things that are not consistent with what Ji Cheng said.

She scratched her head, raised her face and said, "Ji Cheng, it seems wrong for you to calculate like this..."

"Huh? No?"

"Yeah, several places are wrong."

Ginger Red Bean holds a branch and continues to draw on the ground:

"You see, the first point is that we are two people. In the final analysis, I only helped to apply the plant ash. You can spend a little more time to apply it by yourself.

If it is all based on what you grow and eat, you consume 730 catties of grain a year, and now the theoretical harvest is 652 catties, not much difference!

And the second point, you don't spend all your time farming.

In the past six months, you have done a lot of other things, kilns, houses, and many others I won’t talk about.

If you spend all your time on farming, it is definitely not just farming half an acre of land, right?Can there be two acres?

Then the harvest will be doubled and doubled, that is... 2608 catties...

God!Can one person work and farm completely, can support four people, 2 men and 2 women? ?

And...and it's just based on how much you eat..."

At the end of the calculation, Jiang Hongdou was shocked.

She looked at Ji Cheng in a daze, and murmured, "This isn't overproduction!?"

"Hey~..." Ji Cheng smiled, before answering this question, he also squatted down, looked sideways at the girl and asked:

"Priest, are you so good at counting?"

"Hey, it should be okay, the tribe is better, because it is responsible for counting the harvest and praying to the gods...Of course it can't compare with you, why do you ask this?"

"Well, I just thought about the cultivation of talents in the future... well, let me tell you like this."

Ji Cheng paused and said, "On the premise that we don't consider harvest and food, do you think you are suitable for farming wholeheartedly?"

"Me?" Jiang Hongdou glanced at Ji Cheng, and whispered, "You won't let me grow muscles. If you say that, I'm definitely not suitable for farming..."

"Cough... It's just that girls are not suitable for farming, regardless of whether they have muscles or not. They should do more delicate work, such as spinning and weaving."

Ji Cheng coughed, then pointed to himself and asked, "Then do you think I'm suitable for physical work or mental work?"

"Hmm." Jiang Hongdou blinked: "Don't think about eating, right? It must be the latter, you have so much knowledge."

"Yeah." Ji Cheng shrugged: "So, this is the division of labor, who is suitable for what to do, and those who are suitable for farming are responsible for farming."

He pulled the girl to sit down, pointed to the potato hill in front, and continued: "Then now, I can answer your previous question.

Although your theoretical calculations are correct, an adult man can support about 2 men and 2 women by completely working and farming.

But it is impossible for me to completely farm the land now. I still have many other things to do, otherwise the development and accumulation of technology will become extremely slow.

We have no talent division of labor, everything has to be done by us.

Therefore, we must pay attention to reality. The reality is that we can only produce 652 catties of grain per year within our capabilities, which does not meet the definition of overproduction. "

"Oh, according to the actual situation...

that's true. "

Jiang Hongdou frowned slightly after hearing this, and said while thinking: "That is to say, the process of entering civilization is currently stuck.

Because manpower is insufficient, and manpower needs to be divided, then..."

She spoke for a while, suddenly thought of something, opened her eyes slightly, and sat up straight.

"Ji Cheng, you mean to say..."

"Ah."

Ji Cheng nodded, looked up at the sky and said, "Now, in addition to the basic food, clothing and housing, we also have to plan for the next big goal.

It has been half a year, and after autumn and winter, it will be a new year. "

......

......

In the field, the seeds and potatoes were harvested, the best ones were selected to be planted, and the others were all transported to the home for storage.

Ji Cheng and the girl had a little science on the storage method, and let her understand the principle that as long as the necessary conditions for germination are artificially removed, it can be stored for a long time.

That is, keep out of the sun and keep it as dry as possible.

Put charcoal on the bottom of the tank to absorb water and moisture, put potatoes on it, cover it with a lid and put it in the darkest corner of the house.

Learned another usage of charcoal.

Jiang Hongdou remembered this and was busy with Ji Cheng, planting the seeds and preserving the food.

When the daylight dimmed on the horizon, these things were finally done.

"All right."

Ji Cheng clapped his hands and said, "Don't do anything else today, go to bed early, let's have a good chat about the follow-up goals and plans.

Let's go, now get the soap, let's take a shower~"

"Hey, good." Jiang Hongdou blinked in response.

It's rare that I haven't been busy until I go to bed today. It's not dark, but I do have time to take a bath.

She picked up the soap box and the change of clothes from inside the two of them, and followed Ji Cheng.

As for the outer clothes, the fabric is too big, and they haven't changed them yet.

It's okay, because later on, since I'm going to go to bed and rest, I don't need to wear it. I can wash and hang it outside, and it will be dry tomorrow.

Having said that, Jiang Hongdou looked at himself while walking.

The linen clothes he wears now are moisture-absorbing and breathable, and are much lighter than animal fur clothes, so sweating is not uncomfortable.

After trying it on for a day, it feels very good to wear and looks good.

Just like my amazing thought at first glance, if this kind of clothing is placed in the clan, it will undoubtedly become the most noble costume.

Hmm...I'll talk to him about this tonight.

Jiang Hongdou sorted out his thoughts.

As for the future goals and plans that Ji Cheng wanted to talk about, she guessed it.

At least, I guessed a little bit.

After all, what he said is very clear, there is a lack of manpower.
