Before dark, Ye came back with the long-haired bleating beast that Jing Yuan wanted.
He collected materials on the spot and woven wild vines into a big net. The long-haired bleating beast was caught in the net and flew back directly with his claws.
Jing Yuan was finishing dividing the meat in the tribe. Hearing the sound of wings breaking through the air, he saw the silver light when he looked up.
Ye fell from the air and threw the bleating beast to the ground, "Is it this kind of bleating beast." In
the big net of vines, there are not only two long-haired bleating sheep that are similar to those of the sheep that Jinghua knew. The beast, and four or five gray long-haired rabbits, with bulging stomachs, they should all carry their cubs.
Jing was a little surprised, "Where did you catch this? Bei said that the long-haired bleating beast is quite far away, and you still have time to catch the rabbit on the way." The
big silver lion flapped its wings lightly, and he was very fast, and it didn't take time to fly to find the long-haired bleating beast. Since Jing wanted the red-eyed beast, he looked for it nearby and grabbed it back easily.
Jing smiled, "You go back and put on clothes first, and then help me build a nest for the rabbits."
Bleating beasts are very easy to raise. You only need to tie them with a rope and give them grass to eat. Hemp rope comes in handy.
Jinghua took two ropes into a loop, tied the bleating beast, and tied it to the wooden stakes at the foot of the tribe square, and covered it with dead grass to keep it warm.
Turn around and make a nest for the rabbits. Although the rabbits have a mild temperament and don't like fights and other activities, they have sharp teeth and like to gnaw things!
If you use wood to make a frame for them to make a nest, they will soon be gnawed in a mess, let alone if there are gaps, they will run away!
Especially this kind of wildness is domesticated. When Jingyuan was a child, there were people in her hometown who raised rabbits and sold rabbit fur, all of which were nests made of stones.
It's a bit like a vertical lattice room. The doors are made of iron netting. Every time you feed, you can see the rabbits staying quietly in the circle.
When they turned their heads to eat, they began to gnaw at the iron wire...the thin iron wire could be broken by them, and the mouth was really good.
There were five rabbits caught by the wild, one of them was a male rabbit, and the remaining four were female rabbits with big belly carrying cubs.
According to Jingchang's experience, the female rabbits should be born soon.
Now the scale of breeding is still relatively small, and there is no need to feed them separately. Jing is going to put them together and make a big wooden frame to raise them first.
Of course, we need to use hard green branches for the material, and the green branches have to be cut a little thicker to avoid being bitten by the rabbits.
Ye changed his clothes and came out to make a nest for the rabbits. Jing Yuan led Shui and Cao to mow the grass next to the tribe, waiting to feed the bleating beasts and rabbits!
When he put the rabbits in the new nest that was just made, Jing teased them with some grass, and watched in the wild. “They don’t seem to eat.”
Jing smiled slightly, “I think it’s not hungry, besides, I’ve just received it. Frightened, must be a little scared when moving to a new environment, so wait a little longer.”
He threw the grass in his hand into the rabbit ring, clapped his hands and stood up, “Let’s go back to cook, and come back tomorrow.” Ye followed him back. Go, "Okay."
As the long-haired bleating beasts and rabbits make their homes in the tribe, it rains more and more, and each time it lasts for two or three days without stopping.
Jing Yuan knew why the tribe called spring the water season. There was so much rain and it seemed to be lingering like never stopping.
Even the creek next to their tribe rose to a water level of about 10 cm, and the filter had to be reset.
The lake where the ducks inhabit has been submerged to the shore, and various fish and shrimp microorganisms have gradually increased, and the ducks finally waited for their paradise.
Too many mud pot are not easy to dry in the rainy weather, Jingyuan suspended the pottery burning operation, and now weaving is popular in the tribe.
The Jenny spinning machine is really easy to use. After granny Ye got used to the machine, Jing led the people to make ten of them, all of which were placed in the big hole for the old people to spin.
There is enough ramie, and it is woven into twine piled into hills. When it rains, the gathering and hunting teams stay in a daze without going out.
There was no entertainment in the tribe. Jing Yuan saw that they were all about to grow mushrooms at leisure, so he taught them to make looms and learn to weave in holes.
Facts have proved that the tribe likes linen cloth more than cotton leaves.
In sacrificial priest words, it's strange that the leaves look green, and they look like a tree when worn on the body.
Jing smiled in his heart, they hadn't had the concept of being green, and they were sensitive to the perception that green was not well dressed!
Generally speaking, even if weaving cloth is a pastime in the tribe, we can not only pass the time but also weave linen cloth to make clothes. They all expressed their love.
Whether the woven cloth is good or bad, it will be brought to Jing Yuan to let him see. After reading it, he will leave the cloth as a gift.
So he doesn't weave the cloth himself, but there are a lot of sackcloth piled in the hole.
Jing Yuan looked for boxes to pack them up, dried them and put them on the shelves to avoid damp air in the wet season and damage the linen cloth.
Apart from weaving, another activity in the water season is to create people.
Both Yu and Bei came to ask Ye if they wanted to stay in their cave for a while, but Ye solemnly refused.
And after showing that he still wanted to form a partner with someone, and it was impossible to sleep with two people at the same time, both sisters were a little bit disappointed.
But soon they decided not to wait for the wild. In addition, they selected a soldier from the hunting team and called people to live in their cave.
The whole tribe was a little restless, and the wild rarely stayed with him except for eating.
Every time Yu came to look for him, Jing Yuan could see all kinds of ambiguous red marks on her neck and chest, and she didn't care about covering them up.
The tribe didn't feel that there was anything wrong so Jingyuan had a headache when he saw it. She asked her to dress up and promised well, and then forget about it when she turned her head.
The next time I saw it, it still didn't change at all, so I gritted her teeth with anger, so she just let her stay quiet and don't come over to play with him.
During the rainy season, the tribe began to idle, but Jing became busy, mainly thinking about the crops in his field.
When the stream just started to rise, Jing Yuan was worried that too much rain would flood the crops he planted, so he went to look at it while holding onto the slender leaves.
Fortunately, his piece of land, because it is on the mountainside, is a slightly sloping plane as a whole, and the accumulation of water itself is not that much.
And when he was planting, there were ravines, especially the sweet potatoes and radishes he planted, both of which had roots growing in the ground.
After the growth period is the puffing period of the rhizomes, when he transplanted and planted, he piled up the soil next to it slightly and planted the seedlings.
After a period of time, the boundaries between the ditches and the height of the ridges are clear, and the continuous rain in the water season has not affected their growth.
Instead, watering the vines is more verdant, especially the sweet potato vines, which are all cut from that magical seed.
The growth rate is obviously faster than that of ordinary sweet potatoes, which are almost visible to the naked eye. He can pinch vines and transplant them every two days.
Especially after entering the rainy season, as if there is an invisible hand pulling them in secret, they grow very fast.
Jingyuan goes to the field every day to transplant the newly grown vines. There are relatively few sweet potato vines in the early stage. This is very simple.
Going to the field and returning soon, in the later stage, the vines that were transplanted began to take root and sprout, and the cuttings were carried out, and the number increased exponentially.
Every time I go to the ground, I have to work for a long time.
When the sweet potato vines were transplanted for the last time before the end of the water season, Jing looked at the green sweet potato field in front of him with a stiff smile.
Turning around and calling the collection team for help, the sweet potatoes produced by these systems grew faster than Jing Yuan expected, and the originally prepared land was not enough.
You have to plow the ground again, dig ditches and ridges, and cut the vines and branches of the existing three acres of sweet potato fields into ten centimeters.
After transplanting to the nearby ground, Jing and the gathering team have been digging and planting sweet potatoes all day long, and before the hunting team came back in the evening, they were finally finished.
The planting area of sweet potatoes is about ten acres, all of which are small short sections of ten centimeters with two leaves. It looks a bit miserable and so pitiful!
This is already the largest area that can be planted this year, and the sweet potato will enter the growth period, and pinching the sweet potato vine will affect their growth.
However, this amount has exceeded Jingyuan's expectations. If the output can reach his expected standard, a large number of plantings can be realized next year.
…At that time, the 100 acres of land did not seem to be enough to grow. He couldn't help but fantasize about planting sweet potatoes in this land, and he had to open up wasteland!
If you continue to open up wasteland, the lake is a very good location around their round kiln, where the location is flat and the area is wider.
Looking along the edge of the lake, there is a feeling of being out of sight of thousands of miles of fertile soil, which is very suitable for planting and grazing.
And when the lake dries up during the dry season, the silt at the bottom of the lake can be dug out and used as fertilizer.
There are duck feces, various dead branches and rotten leaves, and various underwater microorganisms in the area. After decay, it must be very fat!
Jing Yuan was still thinking about the future glory, and Yu stood beside him, looking at the so many green vines that Jing called sweet potatoes.
If all were cut down, enough for their tribe to eat for a long time, they are now pinched into short pieces and buried in the soil. I don't know if they will rot.
She licked her lips, "Jing, if these sweet potato vines are buried in the soil like this, will they really grow a lot of vines. At
that time, will we have a lot of sweet potato vines to eat?!"
Jing Qi smiled and shook his head, "Sweet potatoes are not wild vegetables. The main food part is not vines, but rhizome sweet potatoes. They can be used as the staple food. The
staple food is something that we can eat all the time and make us vigorous. Now the tribe mainly eats meat, occasionally with wild vegetables. This kind of diet structure
is actually not very healthy... Well, let’s not talk about this first. When the sweet potatoes are planted, we can mix the sweet potatoes with meat.
This will reduce the amount of meat and the bacon we keep. It can be eaten for a long time, and it is best to survive the cold season completely."
He doesn't want to lack food in the cold winter. If the weather is cold, if there is not enough food to provide calories, it is easy to freeze to death.
Yu frowned, "What is the rhizome?"
Jing Yuan thought for a moment, "It is the part that grows in the ground. After the root system of the plant is puffed, the edible part... wait
until it is planted." The tribe eats meat and wild vegetables. It grows on the ground. She have no idea about rhizomes, let alone eat plant rhizomes.
It was really difficult to explain in this way. Jing smiled and finished talking to her, and then went to see the onion, ginger, and garlic that were planted next to him. They all grew very well.
The green onion and garlic sprouts grow to the foot, and they are growing very well. Jing occasionally comes back to pick up some leaves, go back to stir-fry the meat or simply put it in the soup.
When cooking in the tribe, they would pinch some along with them. Jing had instructed to keep the plants so that they could not be damaged. They all chose leaves that have grown well and pinched.
It will not affect their own growth rate, each of them is very tall and straight, looking very energetic.
The radishes also grow well. After being transplanted by them, there is enough room for growth, and the fertility keeps up, and they grow continuously.
It is almost ready to be harvested by the end of the water season. It is now the end of the water season. Jing Yuan walked to the field where he grew radishes and squatted down to look at the situation.
It rained just yesterday, and the soil was still very moist. There were no cracks in the ground, so I couldn't guess how big the radish was inside.
He squatted on the ground, calculating the time to plant the radishes.
After calculating, hey, these radishes were planted in the ground not long after he came to the tribe, and it has been almost 3 months now.
According to the radish growth cycle of 65-90 days, it is time to harvest.
He immediately became happy, grabbing the green radish in front of him, and pulling out to see what it looked like!
These radish seeds were obtained from the medicinal materials. The system showed that they were called radish seeds. Jing knew they were radishes, but did not know what kind of radishes.
Green skin and white skin? The round radish is still a long radish. If it is the legendary rouge radish, it is the size of a ping-pong ball.
...Jing Yuan felt that he might want to cry!
When he pulled out the radish, he was still a little nervous, but fortunately, this worry did not last long.
Soon I saw the radish pulled out of the ground, that little worry turned into full of joy, I couldn't help but smile, and the corners of my mouth turned up!
The radish pulled out of the ground is a typical white-skinned long radish with a length of about 20 cm and a diameter of about 7 cm. It is estimated to weigh 5.6 kg.
In this body shape, it is almost the same as the big white radishes Jingyuan himself has seen, the ones bought in the supermarket and carefully cultivated.
Regarding a behemoth, Jing Yuan smiled and called Yu to come over, and handed her the radish, "This is the rhizome, and the root of the radish is the fruit. It
is edible, and the radish is best eaten as a vegetable. It can be used for stew and stir-fry. It's delicious, you call them all to pull out the radishes.
From here to here, all this area is pulled out, and the rest is left as seeds. Let’s eat radish stew at night!"
Yu held a large white radish and looked at it. There was some doubt about the soil on the ground, "Is this really edible?"
I wanted to try to take a bite, but the soil on it made her dispel this idea. After all, Jing always emphasized the need to pay attention to the disease from the mouth.
Seeing her chewing on the radish with dirt, she will definitely be unhappy, and maybe she will be scolded...the prosperous temper is very good, and she is not easy to get angry.
But when he gets angry and ignores her, Yu feels uncomfortable.
Forget it, still don't chew, anyway, Jing said that if you can eat it, you can definitely eat it. After pulling out all the radishes, let him teach her how to eat it.
Yu smiled and put away the radishes, greeted the people of the gathering team and began to pull the radishes, and then let the people go back to pick up the basket to load the radishes, and wash them back.
There are not many radishes, and there is even less left to be planted.
Jing Yuan asked them to pull out about 300. Basically, each of them weighed 5.6 kg. Although the number was small, it could not hold up a single large body.
Still full of ten back baskets, carrying them back to the tribe, first put the carrot sticks there waiting to be processed.
First, Jingtiao has the radish cleaned, cut into chunks, and ready to wait for the stew.
It happened that the hunting team brought back three black-skinned wild boars, and Jing Tian looked at the wild boars with smiles.
Although wild boar is a bit dry, the meat is firm and chewy, and the ribs are especially delicious.
Pork ribs with roasted radish, but Jing Yuan’s favorite dish!
