The next morning, after breakfast, Chen Qi took a bone hoe and set off with A Ze. A Li didn't follow him to class. He had learned from Chen Qi before, and A Jing kept teaching him, so the progress was faster than the others. Naturally, there is no need to go to school every day to take lectures.
"Why is it so early? They are still in class." It was just dawn at this moment, and Ali was planning to fetch water from the well next to the school. The water that Azhang fetched back last night was used by him to irrigate the ground. The bucket is empty in a while, and I need to pick some for cooking at noon.
"I plan to find another water source here and dig a well, otherwise it would be too tiring to carry water from the school every day." Chen Qi explained briefly to Ali.
After listening, A Li nodded, "Oh, I'll go with you." A Li went back to the house and took a bone hoe, closed the wooden door of the yard, and went to the wasteland next door with the two.
The weeds around this wasteland were dealt with when the tribe was first built. It has only been more than two months now, and the weeds have grown as high as calves again.
Looking at this large weed, Chen Qi felt a little headache. If it was possible, he really wanted to set fire to it, but he was afraid that he would not handle it well. A little afraid, I can only slowly deal with these weeds with the old method.
After the orcs came over from class, Chen Qi and the others just finished visiting this area. This time, the water source happened to be in the center of the wasteland.
Chen Qi briefly explained the matter of the well to the orcs from other races. Ayan thought that the well near the school was an existing water beach, but the people of Qi Ze City dug it out by themselves.
The orcs in Qi Ze City already had experience in drilling wells, but this time the well was obviously deeper than the previous one before water started to leak.
The orcs of the Luoshui tribe and the Yanshan tribe were very surprised. Although they had heard Chen Qi's explanation just now, it was the first time they had seen someone who could really dig water out of the plain. Didn't even think about it.
After the well was built, the people began to deal with the wasteland.
Chen Qi divided the wasteland into several parts around the well, just like building a house, horizontally and vertically, leaving a road suitable for walking in the middle, so that it will be much more convenient to move the crops in the future.
Draw a small portion out of each large portion, pull out all the weeds on it, and gather the ground together, but these two steps took a full day, and people from the Luoshui and Yanshan tribes helped. As a result, the sun had already set after everything was done, and Chen Qi was so tired that he didn't want to move, so he relied on A Ze to carry him home.
There is no way, this piece of wasteland is really too big, and it is already an extraordinary performance of the females to be able to collect all the land in one day.
"The bone hoe is really not easy to use." Not to mention blunt, the weight is too light, and it takes a lot of effort to dig the ground every time. Chen Qi feels that his arm is no longer his own.
Aze was helping Chen Qi rub the rough and red palm of the other party. He remembered that the first time he saw Chen Qi, the other party's palm was clearly white and tender, but now it was even rougher than his own, as he had said before I can raise him by myself, but Chen Qi is too powerful, I am afraid that he can live well without raising him by himself.
Aze's slender fingers slid across each cocoon, "Didn't you say that the iron armor of the armored dragon was used as a tool? Can it be used to make a hoe?"
"That's right, I almost forgot about it." Chen Qi sat up, and after the iron armor was brought back, Aze sent someone to put him in the room where the pottery was fired, because he was busy with various things later, but he never thought of it. Once. As soon as Chen Qi said that, he wanted to go out.
Aze pulled the other party back, "It's so late now, let's do it tomorrow."
Chen Qi nodded and got up to make dinner, but Aze pulled him back and sat him on the stool, "You take a rest, I'll cook tonight. What do you want to eat?"
"Pancake." Chen Qi laughed and announced the name of the dish.
"it is good."
"Aze, I want to eat sweet potato syrup." Ajing, who was lying directly on the kang bed, tilted his head slightly and shouted to Aze, who was about to enter the storage room.
"Aww." The little wolf cub on the side raised his head and yelled.
"The little wolf said it also wants to eat sweet potato syrup."
Before Aze agreed, Chen Qi directly refused, "No, eating too much sweet things at night will cause tooth decay."
Ah Jing looked at A Ze helplessly, saw that A Ze came out with only rice berry powder and bacon, and drooped his eyes in frustration, hugged the little wolf cub and rubbed it hard, there is no sweet potato syrup tonight up.
In the early morning of the next day, Azhang took the original hunting team from Qize City, Ayan from the Yanshan Tribe, and half of the females from the Luoshui Tribe into the forest, and the rest followed the orcs from Qize City in the tribe. Learn other crafts.
Ah Cheng was very happy, finally someone helped him pound the pulp, this job is a lot of work, it is a bit difficult to pound the old bones of himself and the small bones of A Zhu, even though other females will occasionally come to help, do it The paper that comes out is still somewhat in short supply.
After all, a lot of paper is spent every day, isn't it
Ayu and two female sons of the Luoshui tribe came to help Chen Qi cultivate the land.
Although he wanted to get the iron out first, Chen Qi still had no idea how to smelt iron. After thinking about it, he put the iron armor aside first, and planned to plant all the crops on the wasteland first. After all, if he missed the planting time, If the crops are not mature before winter comes, it will be a waste of work.
Aze also left with the hunting team today, and Ajing also brought two females over after class, plus A Li and Carlo, the number of planters is also eight or nine.
Looking at A Yao who was thrown aside and covered in mud, Chen Qi endured it but couldn't help but asked Carlo who was already rummaging for seeds, "Is it okay for you to throw him aside alone like this? We have almost the same manpower now." Why don’t you take him home.” Although the sun is not too hot in the morning, it can be scorched uncomfortably before noon, so white and tender balls, even with a cloth cap Hat, Chen Qi still couldn't help feeling a little distressed.
Carlo waved his hand indifferently, "It's okay, he usually plays alone at home, and now there are so many people here, it's more lively."
Chen Qi glared at him, dear father. How on earth did Ake feel relieved to let him take care of the child alone.
Carlo pointed to the pile of seeds and asked with some doubts: "If all these seeds are planted, they won't be able to fill this piece of land. What will the rest be planted?"
Chen Qi picked up the cotton seeds, "Potatoes and sweet potatoes."
Carlo's eyes widened, "All of it?" This batch of seeds can only be planted on about half of the land at most, if the remaining half is planted with potatoes and sweet potatoes, how much will there be? Enough to feed the entire tribe for a year, right
Chen Qi nodded. He only set aside a small part of the crops he harvested for food, and the two bags from A Li's family were all used for breeding. They can be planted in about two days.
A Li came over with a few wooden barrels. There are ropes on both sides of the wooden barrels, so you don’t have to worry about getting yourself dirty when you carry them on a pole. He called A Yu and a female to help pick compost. Carlo coughed and hurried He picked up the seeds and went to Chen Qi's side to help open the embedded seeds.
Because there are not many seeds, only one seed is placed in each inlay. If the fruit does not germinate in the future, it will be replanted. Chen Qi and Carlo will demonstrate to others first.
Others saw it and picked up cotton seeds and hoes to start working on the prepared ground.
Ah Jing sent the little wolf cub to look at Ah Yao, not letting him move around, and then also picked up a small handful of seeds to help.
A Yao and the little wolf cub stared wide-eyed, then suddenly grabbed a handful of dirt and threw it on the little wolf cub, and the little wolf cub's white hair was instantly stained before he could get out of the way. It gritted its teeth and made a low, threatening sound viciously. A Yao's body was stiff, and the subconscious danger made him dare not move any more.
Only then was the little wolf cub satisfied, and he laid down on the ground leisurely, not bothering to care about the little boy, anyway, he knew what the other was doing without looking at it, as long as he made sure that he didn't wander around, the task was completed.
After planting a few fields, A Li also came back with the man who was going to pick fat, and an unpleasant smell rushed towards him, and the female who was not caught picking fat frowned, "What are you doing?" Picked back what?"
"Fat." Carlo reassured him gloatingly.
Ah Yu wanted to cry. He never knew that the so-called fat was so smelly, and the stuff in it had flowed out of the city and been piled up for several days. It was grown from dirty water. Can it really be eaten? Thinking that what he had been eating for the past few days might have been poured with this kind of stinky water, Ah Yu felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach.
Ali went back and brought out a few wooden barrels, and sent the other two females to fetch water from the well in the middle. The newly planted seeds could not bear too much fertility, so it would be better to dilute them with water and then water them.
After getting the water back, Carlo went to help cover the seedlings with soil, and Ali followed behind and poured the diluted water on them. Several foreign females who saw it for the first time looked at each other. Yu took a deep breath, then let it out slightly, cheering herself up in her heart, then rolled up her sleeves and hurried up to help.
The few people didn't work under the sun. During the lunch break, Chen Qi took out the cotton and taught Ali how to make cotton sheets, and then sewed a thin cotton coat.
Because the cloth made of cocoon was used, the cotton coat felt very good through the thin cloth, and it could be worn directly for Aze in winter. Chen Qi happily put away the newly made cotton coat.
After the temperature dropped a little, the few people went out to continue working. They didn't plant all the seeds until the sun was about to go down. In the end, Chen Qi even sprinkled a thin layer of plant ash on all the land where the seeds had been planted. Today's planting Life is considered complete.
This time Chen Qi was really tired and paralyzed, and he was finally able to deeply understand the meaning of the saying that every piece of food on the plate is hard work.
When Ah Ze came back, what he saw was Chen Qi who was completely paralyzed on the kang bed, and Ah Jing who was about to cook.
Because of the heat, Aze did not close the door, but opened it for ventilation. He walked over and handed the newly acquired antelope meat to A Jing, "I won't eat cured meat today, let's fry some antelope meat slices later."
Ah Jing nodded, took the antelope meat and went to deal with it.
Aze walked to Chen Qi's side, and gently lifted his bangs that covered his eyes. Chen Qi gently closed his eyes, breathing long and deeply, he seemed to be in a deep sleep.
Carrying the little wolf cub off the heated kang bed, seeing the reddish-brown patch on his white hair, he couldn't help frowning, he dared to run onto the bed so dirty.
Sensing A Ze's disgusting gaze, the little wolf cub rubbed his tail between A Jing's side to seek comfort.
Aze walked up to Ajing and rubbed his little head, "Are you tired today? Leave it to me. I'll do the rest." After a pause, he asked, "Do you want to eat?" Sweet potato syrup? I can make some for you today."
A Jing looked at A Ze with bright eyes, nodded quickly, ran into the storage room and brought out four sweet potatoes, one for each person was just right.
After handing the sweet potato to A Ze, A Jing pointed to the white cotton coat on the bedside, "Chen Qi said that the dress was made for you."
Aze froze for a moment, then bent his lips and smiled, "Yeah."
