Chapter 32 Crops!
At dinner, Luo Yong and others, who had been training for a day, obviously ate more, which was expected by Xia Qi.
Fortunately, the tribe now has enough food, and there will be a lot of leftovers from the prey and fish caught every day, which are all made into dried meat to prepare for emergencies.
However, this is only temporary.
If something happens one day that causes the number of fish in the jungle and lake to decrease, it will undoubtedly be a big blow to the growing Xia tribe.
As the same saying goes, if we don’t farm, will a farming nation still be a farming nation?
As a modern person, Xia Qi clearly realized that he needed one or more high-yielding crops.
Why is it that the tribes in this era are not large in size, with almost all tribes having dozens or even a dozen people?
Because their main source of food is hunting, if there are less prey, there will not be enough for so many people to eat. In this era, the larger the tribal population, the higher the risk.
Just like the cannibal tribe before, why do they eat people? It's not because they are forced to do so.
But, again, no matter what the reason is, as long as there is one person in this tribe who has eaten people, Xia Qi will definitely eliminate the entire tribe without hesitation.
People in this era have no experience or awareness of growing their own food, but Xia Qi does.
Therefore, a long time ago, he specifically asked Xiong and the others to bring back all the things they had never seen before, in order to prevent them from not recognizing them and ignoring the really good things. Even, he was still there
Later, a special exploration team was set up.
Whether you can find it or not depends on luck.
However, Xia Qi himself is not a person who will wait for luck to come. Before luck comes, he will try his best and make all preparations he can.
He had already compiled a more detailed development plan in his mind. At the same time, he also found an animal skin and planned the division of areas around the entire Xia tribe. Which land should be freed to build a military camp, and which land should be reserved for planting.
He plans to plan all the crops in advance.
"Oh, by the way, I remember that farming requires fertilizer. When the time comes, let's dig a few toilets, which can be used to accumulate fertilizer and maintain hygiene." Xia Qi murmured to himself.
At the same time, he suddenly remembered something.
It's like Blue Star in the Middle Ages in Europe. No one could enter the city at all. It was a large garbage dump, and it was so smelly.
Then the plague, cholera, and the Black Death took turns, killing more than one person.
Whether it was to avoid the plague in the tribe or to live a more comfortable life, Xia Qi felt that it was imperative for the people of the tribe to develop good hygiene habits.
As time passed day by day, the Xia tribe developed in an orderly manner under Xia Qi's operation.
One evening, I was busy with the pulley in my hand

Xia Qi, who was competing in the group, looked at what the deer brought back, and a trace of ecstasy showed on his face uncontrollably.
The leaves are green and look large and plump, and the rhizome is about as big as Xia Qi's fist.
"This, this is taro!"
In his previous life, Xia Qi didn't like eating taro very much, but now, his face is full of joy.
In this way, the tribe has two crops that can be regarded as vegetables.
One is taro that the deer just brought back, and the other is bamboo shoots.
After wiping out the cannibal tribe, Xia Qi naturally wouldn't let go of the bamboo sea next to him easily.
There are many things that can be made from bamboo, not to mention edible things like bamboo shoots.
If it weren't for the fact that the number of people in the tribe wasn't too large and they were easily in danger, Xia Qidu would have planned to open a branch base there.
However, it was really far away from the tribe, and some of the roads were rugged and difficult to walk. For this reason, Xia Qi specially sent people to find other ways to the bamboo forest. In any case, Xia Qi would never let go of bamboo.
"Deer, you have done a great job! I will reward you with a deer leg!"
Having said this, Xia Qi, who seemed to have remembered something again, quickly asked, "Are there many things like this nearby?"
"There are a lot of them, almost all over the place." The deer nodded excitedly because he had just received a reward.
"Put your reconnaissance team on hold for a while tomorrow. I'll assign a team of people to you. You can take them to dig up all those white radishes for me. Remember, they must be connected with the roots below..."
While talking, Xia Qi also gestured with the white radish in his hand. After all, taro eats roots.
"We should bring it back as completely as possible. If possible, it would be best to bring back the handful of soil below."
After saying that, Xia Qi turned around and left.
"Clan leader!"
Hearing someone calling him, Xia Qi turned around and it turned out to be Wu Yi.
Xia Qi asked: "What's wrong?"
"I also discovered something, which I think will be of great help to the clan leader."
As he spoke, Wu Yi also took out a piece of rhizome from his arms.
The skin of the rhizome was light yellow. When Xia Qi saw this, he became uneasy again.
He brought the thing to his nose and smelled it, and finally even picked it up with his fingernail and put it in his mouth to taste it. Xia Qi would never mistake the spicy taste.
"This is ginger!"
Xia Qi asked Wu Yi: "Where did you find this thing? Is it a lot?"
"It's near the area where taro... taro is found, there are quite a lot of it."
"Okay, you will also be rewarded with a deer! Your exploration team has made great achievements this time, and each of you will be rewarded with a fish."
After thinking for a while, Xia Qi said: "Please carefully check the nearby area.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Search it to see if there are any other plants that have not been found. No matter what you find, pick some back."
"clear!"
The crops that were finally found could be said to have suddenly found a breakthrough for the development of the Xia tribe that had gradually slowed down. That night, after dinner, Xia Qi was so excited that he couldn't sleep. He kept thinking about planting in his mind.
This time, Xiao Guangren did not respond to Xia Qi. I guess so, after all, Xiao Guangren is not a nanny, she helps Xia Qi solve problems every day.
Xia Qi remembered that taro was planted in the mud, which was not difficult. There was a place not far from the camp. The terrain was lower than other places, and lakes often poured in. It was quite suitable to plant it there.
As for ginger, Xia Qi doesn't like to eat it. Even if he buys it occasionally, he will throw it aside. When he thinks about it, it has already sprouted in the corner. But he can find a special place to put it first.
, what if it sprouts on its own one day?
Early the next morning, as a crucial crop for the current Xia tribe, Xia Qi specially allocated manpower and asked the Bear Team who was training to follow the exploration team. They were responsible for safety and also helped transport taro and ginger.
Xia Qi, who stayed in the tribe and prepared to arrange the tribe's next development plan, found that he could not calm down.
Although the Xia tribe has become the only large tribe nearby, under normal circumstances, no one would dare to attack them, but what if a blind man appears, or encounters a pack of wolves? The more I think about it, the more I care.
Xia Qi couldn't help but go crazy.
"No, I have to find something to do for myself. By the way, farm tools, make some farm tools! Draw the design first..."
At the same time, under the leadership of the deer, a group of people quickly traveled through the jungle. It took almost a whole morning and finally arrived at the area where the crops were found before noon.
Sure enough, everywhere you look here are the fat leaves of taro.
The deer first gave a demonstration and pulled the taro leaves and roots out of the soil. Seeing this, the other soldiers followed suit.
On the other side, Wu Yi led some people to collect ginger.
After almost two hours, the deer asked: "How is everything going?"
"I feel it's almost done." Wu Yi replied.
The deer weighed his basket of tree vines and said, "It's already heavy. If we keep digging, I'm afraid we won't be able to get back before dark."
"Then withdraw!" Wu Yi made a prompt decision and chose to take it temporarily.
Although he knew that his clan leader attached great importance to these things called "taro" and "ginger", Wu Yi knew better that even without these things, there would still be no shortage of food in the tribe.
Under this premise, the safety of the tribal labor force obviously overrides these crops. It is not a big problem to dig a few less taros, but if there is an accident and one or two people die, the loss will be huge.
.
Given the importance the family leader attaches to the tribe's people, I'm afraid he will feel distressed for a while.
