Barley is a type of wheat that can be harvested in three months. The yield is not high, and it is not suitable for making bread, but it is rich in nutrients and is a very good staple food.
The highland barley planted in the plateau area is a kind of barley. One of the staple foods of Tibetans is tsampa, which is made by washing the highland barley, drying it, frying it and grinding it into highland barley powder, which is then mixed with butter tea.
Earth eggs are a good staple food, but they have a fatal disadvantage, that is, they are not well preserved. In contrast, barley is different. After drying, it can be stored for a long time, at least one year without problems.
And although it can't make bread, it can make flour cakes and tsampa...
Before the end of the world, Zhou Ji had traveled to Tibet and ate authentic tsampa made with butter tea. It was delicious with yak meat.
It's a pity that in this place, don't even think about butter tea.
All mammals are in the shape of an orc, which means that only human milk needs to be fed...
"Isn't this delicious?" Kumano felt a little disappointed. He thought it was good, so he wanted to give it to Zhou Ji, if it didn't taste good...
"Except for eggs, other plants are not delicious." Leopard Cheng said, he didn't know that Kumano was going to give this thing to others, so he didn't say much...
"It's actually quite delicious." Zhou Ji was very calm: "The plant that the Beast God asked me to find is this kind."
When he came out, he made up a reason. He originally planned to take the pumpkin back for business, but unexpectedly, he got the barley by accident.
"The beast god asked you to find the food so small?" Xiong Qi was surprised. Even if the food was so small, how would you pick it even if it was delicious
"You'll know when you plant it." Zhou Ji said. The yield of barley is not high, but it does not choose the growing environment, it can be planted in large areas, and it is very resistant to hunger. This is a good thing!
Zhou Ji was too lazy to talk, and there was no expression on his face. Seeing him like this, Xiong Qi felt a little guilty: "Great beast god, I'm not questioning you, please forgive me."
Although the Xiaoxi tribe does not have priests to teach them the orthodox method of worshiping the beast gods, they also believe in the beast gods - not every tribe has priests, but everyone has contact with each other and always knows the beast gods.
Now the people of the Xiaoxi tribe saw this scene, their faces were shocked: "Beast God?"
"Zhou Ji is the messenger of the beast god." Kumano said. The change of Zhou Ji, Kumano has been watching.
The previous priest was a gift from the Beast God to their tribe, and Zhou Ji was a gift from the Beast God to him.
The people of the Xiaoxi tribe were full of reverence.
Zhou Ji suddenly felt that he looked like a god.
He had fooled the priest with similar words at first, just to make himself feel better, but now... he's in a difficult position to ride a tiger.
In order to make things easier for him to do in the future, in order to make his life better, he even had to create a little miracle.
After all, there is a tribe of giant tigers watching, and he has a lot of things to do.
Sometimes, plans really don't change that fast.
There were many more people when I went back, but for Zhou Ji, not much has changed.
Kumano still takes good care of him. If he sees any interesting plants on the road, as long as they call stop, everyone will stop and let him find plants.
All in all, in the team, he is literally the center of the crowd.
The people of the Big Bear tribe treated him like this, and the people of the Xiaoxi tribe also treated him like this. When they saw him, they were all cautious, and even always wanted him to talk about the beast gods.
Zhou Ji: "… "
Everyone kept on their way, and soon came to the territory of the big bear tribe.
The people of the Xiaoxi tribe faintly felt that something was wrong—they came across a lot of dinosaurs along the way, and there were so many of them that those dinosaurs didn’t dare to do anything to them, but now… why can’t they see any dinosaurs
Kumano was a little helpless in the face of this situation.
On the way before, he had always led people to hunt, but now that he is on the territory of his own tribe... It is difficult for him to catch a prey!
Fortunately, when they hunted before, they caught more, and now they don't have to worry about starvation.
"Why are there no dinosaurs around your tribe?" Leopard Cheng was shocked.
Zhou Ji is also very helpless. A tribe's territory without dinosaurs is equivalent to a tiger living on a bare mountain, and a group of lions occupying a grassland without prey. It is not only strange, but even incredible.
"Our tribe does not rely on hunting to live." Zhou Ji said.
"How do you live without hunting?" Leopard Cheng was puzzled.
"We planted a lot of soil eggs." Zhou Ji said.
"how many?"
"It can feed all the people in the tribe." Zhou Ji said. In fact, compared to hunting, planting is really cost-effective. If you want to feed more people, you still have to rely on planting.
After listening to Zhou Ji's words, Leopard Cheng was full of envy: "You can eat enough without hunting!"
When he was rescued by the big bear tribe, Leopard Cheng didn't want to join the big bear tribe.
But along the way, his thinking has completely changed.
When his clan was attacked by the Giant Tiger Tribe before, many people were injured and then starved for several days... It is precisely because of this that when they ambushed the Giant Tiger Tribe, they died ten times at a time. several.
Some people from the Xiaoxi tribe who were already injured fought desperately with the people from the giant tiger tribe, and naturally they could not be saved.
After that battle, more than 40 of them survived, but Leopard Cheng felt that five of them should not survive for a few days.
This is his judgment based on his own past experience.
However, after meeting Zhou Ji, these people did not die!
Zhou Ji gave them dark medicine, bandaged their wounds, and then the people who were about to die came back to life!
Not only that, but they also saw the strength of the big bear tribe.
If nothing else, Zhou Ji occasionally cooks something to eat, which is something they have never heard of before!
Zhou Ji also knows a lot of plants and knows a lot of edible things...
For the people of the Xiaoxi tribe, Zhou Ji understands and knows too many things!
Zhou Ji knows so much, how powerful should the Big Bear tribe be
Now, Leopard Cheng wants to join the big bear tribe!
Living in a safe place without big dinosaurs and filling his stomach without hunting was like paradise for him.
Leopard Cheng and others are envious.
Kumano and others: "..." Their life is not what Zhou Ji said at all...
As the tribe was about to arrive, Zhou Ji did not let Xiong Ye carry it, but walked by himself.
Everyone walked fast, but Kumano walked slowly with Zhou Ji, but fell behind.
"Zhou Ji, why did you say that to the people of the Xiaoxi tribe?" Kumano asked.
"I want to keep them." Zhou Ji said.
"Why?"
"The tribe lacks labor." Zhou Ji said: "It also lacks combat power."
The giant tiger tribe is obviously not good, and he can't do it, so he can only make the people of the big bear tribe stronger.
In addition, whether it is to grow soil eggs or barley, it requires manpower.
"Zhou Ji, you think differently from me!" Kumano couldn't help but said, at first, he thought Zhou Ji was a poor little guy who could only rely on him, but later, he gradually felt that something was wrong.
This time, when I went to change salt with Zhou Ji, he felt even more... Zhou Ji was completely different from what he thought.
"Oh? Then what?" Zhou Ji looked at Kumano.
"I think you're pretty cute now." Kumano said. Zhou Ji can even deceive people... He really thinks Zhou Ji is cute.
"You too." Zhou Ji said seriously.
There have been too many things recently, and he has been out of the house again. He hasn't played a bear for a long time...
When you get back to the tribe, you must have a good time.
Zhou Ji was thinking about it when she heard Xiong Bai's voice: "The Salt Change Team is back!"
He didn't even know that Xiong Bai's voice was so loud...
Xiong Bai came out to catch the little dinosaurs, and when he saw the salt change team, he immediately shouted.
The people of the Xiaoxi tribe were shocked when they heard the shout, lest they would attract all kinds of dinosaurs. However, the dinosaurs were not attracted, but some people from the Big Bear tribe who were out with Xiong Bai to catch the dinosaurs were attracted.
Some herbivorous dinosaurs would not raise their own children, but the vast majority of dinosaurs would raise their own children, especially carnivorous dinosaurs.
However, unlike mammals, when dinosaurs were just born, they had already developed almost the same size, so they did not need to be raised by female dinosaurs for too long, especially herbivorous dinosaurs.
Even without the female dinosaur, many small dinosaurs can live on their own.
Spring is the season of reproduction. When the dinosaurs ran, many of them already had eggs, so that many small dinosaurs hatched in the territory of the big bear tribe. Although it has been a long time, they can catch less and less. , but you can still catch so few fish that slip through the net.
When Xiong Bai came over, he was carrying a cub of a sharp-horned dragon in his hand.
The people of the Xiaoxi tribe were stunned when they saw this scene.
The Sharphorn is very fond of its cubs. This is a dinosaur with a body length of six meters and a top horn... People from the Big Bear Tribe caught the Sharphorn cubs, and the mother dinosaur will definitely come to the door.
They had to be a little scared.
But seeing Xiong Bai and the others' expressions of indifference...
The big bear tribe, it is estimated that they are not afraid of the horned dragon? Maybe they still deliberately grabbed the cub of this horned dragon, trying to attract the mother dinosaur!
Leopard Cheng praised Xiong Bai and said, "This little dinosaur is really fat, and it looks delicious. You are amazing." The people of the Big Bear tribe are always complimenting each other, so he learned something.
Xiong Bai: "You're so thin that you're still talking about fat? I plan to go back and take good care of it, to fatten it up!"
Leopard Cheng: "Raising?" Raising dinosaurs? Did he hear it right
But Xiong Bai ignored him and turned to Zhou Ji: "Zhou Ji, we have more than 100 dinosaurs!"
Leopard Cheng: The Big Bear tribe actually raised more than 100 dinosaurs? !
