In modern society, some people are frantically pursuing the so-called "organic food". The merchants can simply label vegetables as "organic" and directly increase the price of the product more than ten times. The profit margin can be described as infinite; as Xiao Yun knows, there are such things in the company. A group of colleagues who went downstairs to buy egg-filled biscuits always thought that the vendors were two dollars more expensive than the ones at the school gate, and they paid IQ tax on them.
This group of superstitious guys who are so superstitious about health and organic, who have mild symptoms can go to the vegetable farm to buy vegetables, and those with severe symptoms can directly look down on the vegetables in the vegetable farm. The pesticide-filled vegetables are full of wormholes, so you can rest assured...
Watching that the outer three layers of the hands are rotten, and the leaves inside are pitted, picking up the cabbage that immediately fell out of the cabbage with fat insects, Xiao Yun sighed— -This dish is as good as it can be sold in modern times, the price is as he calls, and there is no counter-offer.
Rubbed his forehead, Xiao Yun looked around at the large cabbage field that was either eaten by bugs or pecks by birds and ate bugs. There were only countless Shit words in his heart.
The snow werewolves have their own beasts to deter BUFF. A group of snow werewolves dig ditches and shout chants around every day. The vast farmland hardly has any wild boars and rabbits to approach, but the two little thieves of insects and birds are inevitable... other directions were not bad. But this large field closest to the swamp has caused disasters by more than one third-this is more than three acres of vegetable land!
Xiao Yun squatted and felt distressed at his own vegetable field. On the other side, there was a group of chirping birds leaping around, like a dinner party, which caused the Chinese cabbage... Mosquitoes breed after the swamp enters the summer. It was originally the time when the birds were being drawn. There is a "natural salad field" next to the swamp. It would be weird if this group of birds could be polite to you.
"It's not good... I have forgotten that there are birds like to eat vegetables ... Well, there is also a bird like a mortal enemy of the farming nation." Xiao Yun stared at the fisheye, "Just peck some Chinese cabbage. , If it looks back, then pecking at wheat, it would be great--shit!"
He suddenly got up with a fierce expression on his side, but the birds who were sitting on the salad body were not afraid of him at all. Those who should continue pecking continued to pecks.
Isn't it? Can fly birds are afraid you with two legs?
Xiao Yun has blue veins floating on his forehead.
Half an hour later.
"Meow——!!!"
The fluffy, muscular manuls jumped out from behind the leaning field ridge, patted the neck of an unknown bird with its claws, and bit the other with its big mouth. In the mouth; the flocks of birds that happily discriminate against the two-legged beasts suddenly burst, flapping their wings and flying, but before these birds fly to a safe height, another manul jumps out, another manul jumps out, and another one jump out...
"Not bad." Xiao Yun waited for the manuls to finish hunting and the remaining birds flew away in a panic before standing up and applauding, "If you catch all the food, this vegetable plot will not be harvested. If you're free, come and catch the birds."
If it is a modern society, it would be illegal to culminate these birds with different coat colors and some pretty birds. In this world... it's still down! If you want to talk about protecting wild animals, wait until you become the top of the food chain!
Qiu spit out the bird's hair twice, and walked back with his manul form: "These birds don't have much meat."
"Yes, but it's still meat." Xiao Yun pointed in the direction of the wheat field, "Catch the birds here is just a training. The actual combat is called when the wheat is hanging ears. If we don't teach the birds around cantnot theft our crops , then the sweat we sweated in the wheat fields will feed ... feed these beaks."
Qiu thought about, and turn around to greet the manul tribes back to the human form and put on clothes, the adult manuls continue to harvest vegetables, and let the manuls cubs take the bird meat back.
Chinese cabbages are planted in three large fields, which is almost 30 acres. Although a lot of it is damaged by birds and pests, the yield is quite amazing-such a fertile black land, and finely plowed land, and It's fertilization or something. The yield per acre can be up to three or four thousand catties; even if it only harvests rotten leaves and well-ripe Chinese cabbage, it costs tens of thousands of catties. So many Chinese cabbage makes a pile in the tribe, the scale is really amazing...
Busy working till it gets dark and taking back the Chinese cabbage that should be harvested, the clansmen looked up at such a huge amount of vegetables grown by themselves, and they felt so unreal.
"There're vegetables to eat again!" Oxhorn couldn't help swallowing.
The period between the end of spring and the harvest in summer is called green and yellow not picking up in Chinese terms. In the tribe, the wild vegetables were cut off half a month ago, and they can only eat meat and enoki mushrooms every day. People who are not picky eaters like Oxhorn is a bit tired.
"...Farming is great!" This is the emotion of the patriarch subconsciously, turning over the ground that is not of much use at ordinary times, and they can get so much food with sweat. It is not a one-time, and there are still many crops in the field, this is tantamount to saying that the tribe will never be short of food-why did he never think about letting the tribes learn tauren farming before, so that there was no need to be greedy for the cattle and sheep given by the King's Tent, and no need to let the soldiers work so hard that they all died on the last battlefield ...
Suddenly I felt that it was not too tiring to plow the soil and plant anything." Dahe excitedly said, "We have planted so many fields, and we can always receive edible things from the fields, which is really great. "
" Hmm!" Qingcao nodded frantically next to her. Although it was tiring to collect vegetables from the field, it was very happy and satisfying. The vegetables received were much more than the wild vegetables collected aimlessly in the wild.
"Okay, everyone got hungry after a day of tiredness. Eat first, and then come back to the vegetable storage cellar." Xiao Yun clapped his hands to let everyone recover.
A large number of vegetables can reduce the consumption of meat, and can also balance the nutrients absorbed, so that the tribe will not have problems with excretion due to lack of vegetarian fiber. It is actually unhealthy for an adult snow wolf to excrete once every five days. Xiao Yun is in everyone after eating Flammulina velutipes for a winter, the excretion rhythm accelerated to once every four days before reacting to this problem.
For dinner, we still ate the eliminated ram meat... Among the 1,800 sheep in the tribe, the ram accounted for the majority. After eating for a winter and now, they have given 200 rams to gray dwarves. Now the tribe still has more than six hundred rams and more than five hundred ewes are enough to eat when the wheat is harvested-the ewes cannot be eaten, and one or two hundred rams are enough.
Crooked horned cattle, except for those that are sick, try not to slaughter them...Cows are left to give birth, and bulls need to be used for breeding and try to plow, but also to keep--when the pottery pots cannot be changed for salt, take bulls to help.
Eating crisp and refreshing Chinese cabbage stewed with lamb bones in a pottery pot, Xiao Yun went through the supplies that the tribe most urgently needs right now. The first thing that came out, and that gave him the most headache, was salt.
Originally, the snow werewolf's salt was enough to eat until the fall to find the human caravan, but there were a bunch of manuls, and they had to support those gray dwarves who had been looking for mines for almost two months, so the salt was very nervous... …
Moreover, for the tribe, there is no time for salt: Chinese cabbage is easy to store, and the temperature on the grassland is not much higher in summer. Just dig a deep enough cellar and store it in and eat slowly; but vegetables and radishes are not good, they need to be stored for a long time. Just like the tauren, the dried radishes and vegetables are dried, or they have to be pickled with a lot of salt.
If you don't have enough salt, you won't be able to pickle vegetables. If you dry dried radishes and greens like the tauren...well...the tauren are often too lazy to dry them and take the radish and greens out to see off the tribe! Qiu and their original tribe did not eat the tauren food for nothing!
"There must be a salt well... or a little closer to the sea." Xiao Yun sighed secretly.
In fact, the problem of salt shortage does not mean that there is no solution. The tribe has now moved to the southwestern border of the grassland. If you leave the tribe, you can see the outskirts of the jungle within two hours. Then you can walk south along the outskirts of the jungle. Go to the sea-the inner sea between the northern continent and the southern human kingdom is bordered by land. Otherwise, the safer sea area than the sea cannot be called the inner sea, and the border is covered by jungle range.
Being able to go to the beach, whether to boil salt or sun salt, is more economical than trading with human caravans, but...manpower! There is no manpower to send out, this is the problem!
To let the manuls go is tantamount to let the manuls go to death. The manticore that Ashan can drive away independently will easy to kill Qiu. Xiao Yun has already confirmed this with Ashan and Qiu.
And let the Snow Werewolf go...at least for now, this time, that's really cannot!
On the grassland in spring and early summer, rain is considered abundant, but from mid-summer to autumn, when it rains, it rains crazily. It is common to see no rain for more than ten days and half a month after the drought-this is the tauren specially instructed him, Be sure to fix the water storage pond before the end of summer!
This is tantamount to an important moment of rushing to repair farmland and water conservancy with God, sending out the snow wolf man as the main labor force? Unless he doesn't expect the crops to be harvested this year.
"Population, population..." Xiao Yun raised his hand and pinched his eyebrows. "If there are more Snow Werewolves, even if there are ten or twenty, there is no need to be so hasty. Now they are completely using the tribesmen as animals. This is how the population squeezes the labor force... Well, it's time to implement the manpower plan."
Ashan sitting next to Xiao Yun suddenly felt a chill, stopped eating food, looked around blankly, not knowing this. Where does the cold come from?
"Ashan, don't you like to eat vegetables? Then give me your food." Oxhorn looked at Ashan and looked around, and immediately handed over the bowl unceremoniously.
Ashan ignored him, fast to used chopsticks, and pulled vegetables into his mouth.
Oxhorn had no choice but to look at other people's bowls...the meal system that they took from the pottery pots with common spoons and chopsticks, the family had no trouble sharing the meal system, but all the dishes in the six large pots were robbed. Only floating lamb bones and a small amount of meat are left-this is cheap if there are enough vegetables. The bone soup can cook vegetables at least three times.
Every time the vegetables are cooked, they are still oily, and you can eat enough. Consumption is directly reduced by half. All the people on the grassland who have eaten meat for so many years have absolutely no concept that meat is more precious than vegetables, especially Chinese cabbage, which is quite oil-absorbing, when cooked in lamb bone soup, it tastes more fragrant than meat... Oxhorn grabbed five bowls of food in one fell swoop, and he still felt unsatisfied.
A manul cub saw Oxhorne looked at pottery pots so pathetic and shared his own small bowl with a few leaves with Oxhorn.
Oxhorn's eyes lit up, and he immediately stretched his chopsticks over...
"Stop!" Xiao Yun was almost amused by this guy, "There are so many vegetables piled up over there, so you don't have enough to eat and then wash a few and cook them!"
... There is no shame in eating to Oxhorn hastened to jump up to wash the vegetables.
After dinner, Xiao Yun didn't let the people rest, and asked everyone to take a break and digest and prepare to go back to dig the vegetable cellar. If in the past, these people would have to mourn in vain for a while. Today, they personally collected so much sweetness, tenderness and refreshing Chinese cabbage, all of them would love to work.
When the weather was cold, everyone used the mobile room as a canteen. Now that the weather is warm, everyone is sitting in the open air. Well, except for Thrall, his skin cannot withstand the mosquitoes on the grassland. After eating, he hides in the house. went.
Xiao Yun sat next to the patriarch, and sighed without speaking.
The patriarch, who was rubbing his stomach satisfyingly, was taken aback, and looked over with a nervous expression...Every time Ayun put on a special expression to talk to him, even if it really made him feel good at that time... But after pondering over the taste, the patriarchs who has a sense that he has been fooled by Ayun, but he can't explain why. After so many times the same things had happened , the patriarch has to alert to Ayun.
Patriarch, our tribe is really short of people~~" Xiao Yun looked heavy and stretched the tone, "I also know that everyone has been very hard during this time, but there is no way. After all, we are just a few people, rushing I'm too busy to do the work in a hurry... I want everyone to relax, but I really feel helpless! "
"..." The patriarch moved his lips and abruptly controlled his desire to spit... The so-called Suffering is the best teacher. The patriarch who has been fooled so many times by Xiao Yun's concentrated firepower, at least understands There is a truth: When you don't understand Ayun's true intentions, you just start talking!
"Patriarch? Xiao Yun raised his eyelids and looked over.
"Uh, ah, yes. "The patriarch aroused, "It is indeed the case. "
Xiao Yun nodded and was silent for a moment thoughtfully: "Actually...I have always had an idea, but you know the patriarch, I'm not an adult, I don't know how to deal with other tribes, so I have never mentionded this before. "
"..." The patriarch slowly stared dead fisheyes, "Heh, hehe..." If the patriarch understands modern language, then he only has one sentence "I believe in your evil" to say.
"Patriarch? Xiao Yun raised his eyelids again, his brows frowned slightly, and his eyes were puzzled.
"Ayun, tell me what you think, maybe we can have a better idea after discussing it?" "The patriarch said solemnly. How can he show timidity in front of the cub~~!
Xiao Yun nodded, showing a somewhat unconfident and embarrassing shy (...) expression: "I see the people I am so tired, and I feel a little uneasy. It is true that I force everyone to do the work for the good of the people, but if the people are exhausted before we strive to pursue and create a beautiful and happy life that belongs to our Snow Wolf people, then we work hard. ,Who is this hard work for? "
The patriarch heard the first half of the conversation and he couldn't help but twitched. Fortunately, in the second half of what Ayun said, he could still control his emotions. Don't lose the patriarch's demeanor; but in any case, the patriarch does not believe that Ayun can be true. His "conscience discovery" let everyone go. He couldn't jump at this trap, so he tried his best to calmly: "Then Ayun, what can you do? "
Xiao Yun seemed to be encouraged by the patriarch and had the courage to speak: "I have been thinking that if we can have a little more manpower, it would be great, but our tribe is so small, it is not necessary to let other snow wolf tribes merge with us. Actually. So, why don't we find another snow wolf man tribe to borrow someone to help? Last year we found the grassland here is the way the snow wolf man tribe in the north showed us. I remember that the tribe has a population of more than 50 people. Put on pottery, blankets, etc. as gifts, and use the patriarch's face to make friends with them. Borrowing a dozen or twenty labors or something should work? It will be used in autumn. When their tribe wants to store fodder, we will let them go. If they are Adults are not enough, and cubs are okay!"
It have to say that after the tribe has added Xiao Yun, the patriarch's ability to understand, that ability rises sharply. After understanding Xiao Yun's words, the patriarch's eyes immediately look at the aliens. People are almost... well, this description seems to be fine.
"Patriarch?" Xiao Yun looked expectantly.
Patriarch: "..."
As stupid and cute as a snow werewolf, he also wanted face and shame. Although the patriarch was very careful not to jump into the trap, Xiao Yun slapped him and lifted him up. If he refused on the spot, the patriarch couldn't open his mouth...
Snow werewolves have good appetite, and it's not easy for each tribe to survive on the grassland. Naturally, there is no such thing as the same clan fighting between each other in the snow werewolf tribes... But if you want to help each other, unite and love, it is also very limited, because which every snow werewolf tribe is such poor and they don't have the capital to help each other. They don't have enough manpower to borrow from other tribes. That's very rare, because you borrow others to help you. Will you let people bring their own dry food, right?
This simple logic can be understood by even the Snow Wolf. The small population and lack of manpower are due to the fact that the tribe is not strong. If the tribe is not strong, it is naturally struggling on the edge of food and clothing. They don't have enough food and they have to borrow from other tribes. You might as well just throw in the clan... as long as someone can afford it and is willing to.
...In other words, it takes a very thick-skinned ability to find other Xuelang tribes to borrow their hands.
The patriarch's face was serious and solemn, and he got surprise in his heart. How could Ayun give up this bad idea? !
Xiao Yun still had the look of respect and expectation of the cub on the surface of the patriarch, but in his heart he knew why the patriarch had a constipated face... of course he had talked to other people for a long time before asking the patriarch to open this mouth. After all the twists and turns here; even the time to open the mouth is to choose the crops to be harvested, let the tribe see the benefits of farming, and greatly enhance the correctness of their farming strategies-smart people do not fight unprepared battles. This is true no matter which field you mix.
"Patriarch!" Xiao Yun stretched out his hands to hold the patriarch's claws, and said with deep feeling, "we really can't let the people work so hard any more Every day I see your low back pain, my heart is very uncomfortable, and Qingcao, she was in estrous last year, perhaps the stomach has a baby - see you so hard, I am really distressed! But no matter how hard I try, I can only do the work of cubs. I can't share more with you. At least I can let the people take turns to rest I really have no choice but to rely on you, patriarch!"
... The so-called "real warrior" means that when it is necessary, even the poor voice of exclamation can be performed with both voice and emotion. When Xiao Yun was the business manager, he was able to blow a rainbow fart to the most disgusting customers. When the regional director of the head office airborne turned black and gray, he could even come forward and flatter. It's easy to do such a little acting!
As expected, the patriarch did not dare to shake off his hand with some force, and his constipation turned into a struggle
"We don't want to borrow their people for nothing. We can harvest the grass at least twice before autumn, and the snowwolves who come to help can take away the fine grass they can take with them. By the way, green vegetables and radishes can also be harvested. Patriarch, you can bring enough green vegetables and radishes as gifts. I think this should be able to express our sincerity. We really need help from the same family. " Xiao Yun's eyes are shining.
It goes without saying that the patriarch himself can understand the saying of smashing the same clan with gifts. If he borrows a hand, the patriarch will not lose face. Maybe he can be a little superior If Xiao Yun wants to say this directly, he will be left behind, showing off his intelligence and wit. Even the patriarch has vanity. What's the matter?
The color of struggle on the patriarch's face is more obvious, and he can't help imagining what ah Yun didn't say, but it's all on his face: when they moved here last year, they passed by the same tribe, and it's hard to say how embarrassed they were. Just one year later, his tribe had beautiful pottery that even Tauren loved, and a large number of pottery that only Tauren could use Gifts, dishes everywhere I can't help feeling a little excited when I think about it!
"Okay, I agree it."Xiao Yun's expected reply came out of the patriarch's mouth without any surprise. Of course, the patriarch still wants face, deep, steady and reserved. "I think it's feasible. But we still have to discuss with the warriors. "
... Plan to get through.
Call five warriors from the tribe, including Qingyan and manuls, and sit down for a meeting. This time, without Xiao Yun's voice, the patriarch calmly puts forward to take gifts to visit other snow wolf tribes and borrow hands.
Stupid and cute as snow werewolves warriors are shocked, this kind of thing is not very humiliating?!
The Chins of Qingyan and manuls almost fell off. The small population of some cat tribes makes it difficult to breed. The cat tribes will not borrow people to "breed" with other tribes. The reason is that the population of the tribe directly symbolizes the hard power of the tribe. There is no such concept as showing weakness among the grassland tribes. Do you think your grassland is no people coveted?
Think about the closest to here only the snow werewolf tribe,Qingyan and manuls are a little relieved. Snow werewolf tribes between each other to rob the pasture this kind of thing is still very few.
Well ...although these people planted in the field, they still didn't change their thinking from nomadic direction.
From the beginning, the patriarch convinced the soldiers that the tribe was really short of manpower, that the tribe was too hard, that there was a harvest in their fields that could guarantee food. These words were not deceptive, but were facts. The snowwerewolf warriors nodded one after another. They were as strong as Hongye who now is too tired to sharpen her bones and arrows. They all had no opinions if they could take a breath from the heavy and complicated work.
After exchanging their eyes, Qingyan and Qiu look at Ayun sitting next to the patriarch... they know it's his idea with their knees!!
When the two look at the snow werewolf warriors who are convinced by the patriarch and the patriarch Huoyan who is persuading them, Qingyan and Qiu show a little sympathy in their eyes? Impossible, impossible! More people, more work Ayun wants us to do!
You snow werewolves are so naive!
