Chronicles of Primordial Wars
Chapter 403: Thousand Grains of Gold Planting
The weather warmed up and there was humidity in the air, but when the sun came out, the humidity was gone.
Shao Xuan took that little bag of grain down the mountain and went to the tribe's plotted fields to discuss it.
The previous day he had asked an elderly man in the tribe who was good at farming, and today he intended to show the grain to the elderly man for some advice and advice.
Shao Xuan knows, but after coming to this world, most plants he doesn't know, because these have never appeared in another world at all. Not only that, coming to this world, in the past few years, several crops and medicine plants that are not easily known, after coming to this continent, Shao Xuan became “blind to the eyes”. Although there is some awareness, the main crops on this side, there are some differences from what Shao Xuan is familiar with, growth habits, etc., are also very different, Shao Xuan can only seek to teach experienced people.
Most of the tribe's fields are beneath the mountain, from the waist down to the foot of the mountain, and they are divided into pieces, each of which is bred by several families, so the tribe doesn't care how it is distributed after seeding.
Shao Xuan came to the field near the foot of the mountain, sitting beside the field with a silver-wired wife, her name was Qiqi, and her mother was a Thai tribe. The Thai River tribe is better at planting than the Flaming Horn tribe, and many of the techniques are better mastered, so the herds themselves know more about planting. The busy man in this field often asks questions.
“Coming." Qiqi saw Shao Xuan and hurried to get up. In many tribes, people of higher status have to be respected. On this side of the flame corner, on important occasions, there will be such etiquette, but it's usually more casual.
Qiqiu apparently felt courteous to the elder Shao Xuan, but she got up and was stopped.
Shao Xuan didn't say much either. He took out the bag and poured out a few of the grains inside. He said to Qixian: “Look at this. ”
His attention shifted to the dark golden grains in Shao Xuan's hand. This is the valley she's never seen before.
After a closer look, Qi shook his head: “This is the first time I've seen a grain like this, is this what you call 'thousand grains of gold'? ”
“Yeah, that's it. ”
Shao Xuan will find a place with a thousand grains of gold to talk to Qiqiu, so, under thought, Shao Xuan is advised to find a place similar to the place of discovery, which is relatively safe, no one knows what kind of growing environment such a plant likes. All kinds of plants, some joy and yang, some joy and shade, some joy and wetness, some joy and drought, cannot be generalized.
“But, Elder, you can also grow a little in every place, and see where it looks good, and then you can grow it there.” I think Shao Xuan said that these valleys are extremely rare and precious, and that the words of the hibiscus settle down again.
Since it's rare and precious, how can it be wasted as casually as she tries other seeds? Just looking at the dark golden grains in Shao Xuan's hand, she also felt itchy in her heart. For this precious grain she had never seen before, she also wanted to try planting it. As a farmer since childhood, these grains are quite appealing, and even if you haven't eaten them, just look carefully and smell the grain and she'll give you a rough review.
Really very appealing!
But Shao Xuan is an elder, and these grains are very precious, and she can't ask for them.
When Shao Xuan noticed the sight of Qixian, thinking about the 1,000 grains in his hand, he counted 100 grains to Qixian: “If you are free, can you plant these grains for me? ”
For someone with a lot of experience such as Suzuki, let her help grow it, and save Shao Xuan a lot of things, it's always better than Shao Xuan messing around.
After listening, he hastily promised: "Yes! Elder, don't worry, I'll do my best! ”
She took out a cloth bag and carefully picked up a hundred grains of grain handed over by Shao Xuan and put it in the bag. She decided to consult with several farmers and friends and implement it after the plan was made. If she succeeds, she will certainly reap more benefits from Shao Xuan, but the most important thing for herself is that she can try to grow such rare things, which will give her a sense of accomplishment.
After giving the grain to the inhabitants, Shao Xuan looked at the busy people in the fields. There are many types of farming tools, such as farming, irrigation, harvesting, granulation, etc., many of which have been learned from the slave owners of the six cities. They all play a very important role in turning over, sowing, farming, processing, etc., and these farming tools are mostly made of wood and stone. The slave owners are said to use copper utensils. However, in the tribe, they cannot afford to use them, stones and animal bones are also good substitutes.
After a while, Shao Xuan went back to find some materials, slightly improved the agricultural tools that everyone used, and also made ploughs to make it easier for everyone to cultivate farmland.
The plough made by Shao Xuan, because the limitations of the tool are a little simpler than planned, it is also wood and stone composite production, after several attempts, to improve and improve it again, making the plow body lighter, easy to turn around, easy to operate and flexible satisfactory, so that the farming efficiency will also be improved.
After that, Shao Xuan went to show the cultivators and teach them how to use it.
Perhaps the slave owners already have similar farming tools, but for the first time, the people in the tribe felt fresh and very happy. Shao Xuan brought the plow and everyone was surrounded.
“Elder, what is this? ”
“Can this be used to plant land?” Everyone is curious.
Ploughshares are farm tools for cultivated land and, in general, are tied to the livestock that drags it, such as cattle. But there is no domesticated farmland livestock here, and it can only be pulled manually.
Fortunately, the Flaming Horn tribe is energetic, not losing to cows, and can easily get started.
“That's it, use it to break down the earth blocks, cultivate the trenches, and in the meantime, everyone's busy, preparing for seeding, and this plow should make it easier for everyone. ”
After the demonstration, Shao Xuan gave the plow to others for trial.
A lot of people want to try it, unfortunately they end up being grabbed by their granddaughter, Seasonal Ridge.
Ji Qian was only fifteen or six years old, a delicate age, had awakened the power of totem. She had only returned from hunting a few days earlier, and now it was not her turn to patrol. She was idle, so she came to help her with the habitat. I didn't expect to encounter Shao Xuan belt plow over, one sleeve, squeeze others aside, learn to look like Shao Xuan and start pulling. Another middle-aged woman cooperated behind.
Probably touching a rock in the ground, Jilin paused temporarily, didn't use a knife, directly reached out to dig out a big stone in the winter in the ground, didn't look much, a thrower threw the stone far away.
Shao Xuan saw the big rock of the winter melon, drew an arc at high altitude, flew across the river in front of the tribe, and fell far into the forest outside the tribe, shocking several flying birds. Turning around and looking at the ground, Seasonal is pulling ploughs while sharing the feeling of ploughing with several hunting team teammates who rub their hands against each other.
Shao Xuan: “…"
Tribes This place is really a woman like a man, a man like a beast.
Usually busy people in the fields are not all unaware of the power of totem. Many times some hard work is done by totem warriors. After all, not every day there are hunting and rotation. Girls like Ji Xuan, who look like flowers in Shao Xuan's eyes, will also work underground like others.
In tribes, there are two kinds of people, one is a vulnerable group without the power of awakening totem, the other is a warrior of awakening totem power.
Many people are busy sowing this time of year, Shao Xuan now knows that in addition to the fields within the tribe, outside the tribe, in the forest on the other side of the river, there are also people planting, just different from the fine cultivation within the tribe, in the forest everyone plants more casually, still using the more primitive method of cane cultivation.
First cut off the weed cane bushes in the woods, then set them on fire, until the land is softened after the rain, do not plow, do not dig, and then plant them, and the burned grass becomes fertilizer for these seeds.
When sowing, the person in front pokes a hole in the ground with a spear or other tool, and the person in the back dots the seed into the * *. After planting, they also manage little, occasionally go to see it, or chase away the birds and animals, etc., anyway, their main source of food is hunting, followed by the fields within the tribe, as for these outside the tribe, but they only spend time in their spare time, so long as they reap more than they sow, they are very satisfied. When things are harvested, people change places, and the original plot of land is left idle, waiting for a few years, or more, before planting again. The forest is huge and they can afford it.
Neither in the fields nor outside the tribe, Shao Xuan simply encircled a seventy or more flat open area with a wooden fence behind the house. After the initial rectification of the ground, a hundred grains were planted.
Thousands of grains of gold were found on the top of the mountain. Shao Xuan now lives in the same place. It is not far from the top of the mountain. Although the mountain is not high, it is not reassuring to let Shao Xuan plant on other mountains. After all, there are too many flying animals on other mountains, and Shao Xuan cannot keep an eye on them.
The climate and geology are different in different locations on the mountains, but Shao Xuan didn't think too much about it. He just tried it. Speaking of which, he didn't have much interest in the cultivation of a thousand grains of gold, nor was he obsessed with it. He could grow it naturally. If he couldn't grow it, he would cook the rest of the grain and eat it. After so long, he should be able to continue eating it.
After a while, the seeds planted in the back of Shao Xuan's house germinated, 100 seeds, more than half germinated, which Shao Xuan has been very satisfied with.
When Shao Xuan was called to the past, he found that most of the grains they planted had grown from two to three leaves, a hundred grains, with a survival rate of more than 90%. Much better than Shao Xuan's backyard.
It's an old experience.
Shao Xuan was also happy to see the seedlings. Whoever planted them could live.
Seeing seedlings, hiccups, etc. became more exciting. They went to see the seedlings once a day. They went up to the bottom of the mountain to find places, each place planted 10 grains, a total of 10 places. At this stage, the seedlings at the bottom of the mountain are the best.
