Mao, who has made great achievements, soon yelled that everyone in the village knew that he had done a great deed, and the fruits he picked up before were of great use.
When Qing got the news, she hurried over and asked in a hurry: "An envoy, is what Mao said true? Can that kind of fruit really be used?"
"Yes, this kind of fruit is called tung fruit, which is poisonous as you said and cannot be eaten, but it has other uses."
Yang Yi smiled and said, he was in a good mood.
He learned from Mao that there were a lot of tung fruit trees, covering a large area.
The place where Mao went was only the edge, and there were already a lot of tung fruit scattered. Going further inside, there are patches of tung forests inside!
This is also in line with the characteristics of the tung tree, which has strong vitality and does not require much land. Once planted, it does not require much management to produce abundant yields.
Qing was shocked. In her previous thinking, her judgment on the value of plants was based on whether they could be eaten.
At most, whether it can prevent mosquitoes and so on is added. In short, whether it can help human beings survive is the standard.
It never occurred to me that there could be more functions.
"Then what is the use of this fruit?"
"It can extract oil, just like we use animal fat to refine oil, and some plants can also extract oil. Some vegetable oils are edible like animal oils, and some are not edible like tung oil."
People here did not have the habit and conditions of cooking in the past, but now that they have a big iron pot, the recipes are obviously much richer.
Stir-fry has become one of the favorite foods of the people in the tribe. Yang Yi probably told the cooking team some cooking methods, and later gave them a home-cooked recipe.
Those who can't read can find the children in the study class to translate. Although many seasonings and ingredients are not available now, the chef in charge of cooking has gradually mastered the method.
Now the stir-fried dishes are in good shape, about the same level as the average level of the university cafeteria, and it is enough to make the Xinghuo tribe who have been eating barbecue monotonously find it extremely delicious.
The people in the cooking group also try their best to change their tricks every day, hoping that everyone can enjoy the happiness in the food.
Everyone's desire is not just to be full, but to eat well.
However, the current level of cooking tends to be stable. If you want to go higher, you have to wait until the ingredients and seasonings are more abundant.
The big pot of rice is still based on efficiency, and it is impossible to make it too fine.
These people are already very good at doing this. Yang Yi now eats happily every day.
Cooking requires oil refining, and now all the tribes use animal oil, which is no stranger to everyone.
With this explanation, Qing quickly understood what was going on.
"Plants can also extract oil?!"
Qing felt that a door was opened for her. She always thought that oil was exclusive to animals.
Although they didn't use oil to cook food in the past, oil would come out every time they grilled meat, and they knew this.
Never thought that oil can be extracted from plants!
"Yes, the rapeseed, sesame, peanuts, etc. we plant can all be used for oil extraction."
There are too many things planted in the field, and all kinds of seeds are sown, so Yang Yi doesn't have to explain each one to Qing.
"Then what is the use of tung oil?"
"We need to use a lot of wood to build a house. The wood is coated with tung oil, which can prevent water and insects. It can also be used to make rain gear, so that you will not be afraid of getting wet when it rains.
It can also be used to light up lights at night. Although there are no solar lights, it can also bring light. When God takes back his gift, we can still see clearly at night.
The leftover tung cake after oil extraction can also be used to make pesticides, insecticides, base fertilizers, etc. It can be said that it is full of treasures. "
In the past, tung oil was classified as a strategic material, which shows its importance.
Not only that, tung oil also has a very important role - it can be made into biodiesel.
The calorific value of biodiesel is 89% of that of chemical diesel. If machines are used in the future, it can be used as power.
If you can find oil to make diesel, add some biodiesel, and you can also synthesize biodiesel with less pollution.
However, it is still too far away from industrialization, so Yang Yi didn't come out now.
"Pesticide? Base fertilizer?"
Qing already had a little understanding of the former functions from Mao Na, and although she was still excited and happy, it was far inferior to the latter functions.
She is in charge of growing the crops and is especially sensitive to them.
Plants, like humans, need food. At present, the supply of land is sufficient, but this also means that the 'edible' things in the soil have decreased a little bit.
If it is not supplemented, the land will have no 'food' that plants can eat in the future, and it will not grow well.
How to make fertilizer and feed those crops is a very important thing.
Now that the weather is warming up, pesky little bugs are starting to visit. Recently, she has been very troubled about killing insects.
It's too late to rely on people to catch them.
It is still controllable at present, if there are more, there is no way to do it, and it is too slow to rely on people to catch.
"All things are interdependent. God created so many things that are connected and interact with each other. What we have to do is to discover and use the relationship between them."
Qing suddenly realized, and had many thoughts in his heart.
She finally realized that her previous understanding and application of supernatural powers were still too superficial and limited, no wonder she hadn't been able to improve.
"Envoy of God, you have inspired me a lot."
Yang Yi said with a smile: "Thanks to Mao's discovery, otherwise we would all have missed it."
With his weak body, he would not dare to go into the woods for a while, so it would be difficult to find these good things that were actually treasures, but were ignored because they could not be eaten.
He is not a person who knows everything, if not for this adventure, he is just an ordinary otaku.
Since I was a child, I have never taken over such a big plate. Games and reality are two different things.
Many of his current plans are immature and have gaps.
People here are unable to break through because of limited cognition, so it is difficult to discover other values of these things, which is wasted in vain.
"Hey hey." Mao, who didn't know when he came over, smiled foolishly, and Yang Yi's praise was very useful.
Yang Yi rubbed his head: "Mao, you have made great achievements today, and God will reward you."
Mao weakly raised his hand: "Envoy of God, can you tell God, I want to change the reward."
"Mao, do you still want to negotiate terms with God?" Qing pretended to be stern.
"No, no, I think God is so great and so good...I, I..."
"Tell me, what do you want, if it is not too exaggerated, I think God will agree."
Yang Yi knew that although Mao was naughty, he was not that unreasonable brat.
And he has always been eager to get the Universal Saber, but now he has changed his mind, there must be a reason for him.
Mao's eyes lit up immediately, and he said unceremoniously:
"Envoy, can you tell God that I want to replace the saber with a solar lamp? It's fine!"
Yang Yi was surprised: "What do you want this for?"
The tribe has installed solar lights in many places, and the most common one is the central square.
Every time at night, everyone likes to gather around there, chatting and doing the things at hand.
For this group of people, these lights are enough.
Usually they have moonlight and a fire, so they can actually see clearly. Their night vision is very good.
"I want to give bluegrass." Mao scratched his head in embarrassment.
"There are too many people in the places with lights in the tribe, and she can't squeeze in if she wants to read, or it's not clear enough. Didn't you say that the light is not good for the eyes, so I want her to have her own a lamp."
Qing directly laughed: "Mao, I didn't expect you to be so considerate! It seems that in a few years, you and Lancao will be the same as Jing and Rong. Your children must be smart and powerful!"
"That's not the case! Lancao is a very powerful person. She has too many things to do during the day, and she is only free at night. The envoy said that the book is full of God's wisdom, which can lead the tribe to become stronger and stronger. I am also for the tribe. !"
Mao poked his neck to argue, his little face was red.
The fearless little Maotou showed a shy look, and Qing laughed even louder.
Mao was very angry, but he couldn't beat Qing, so he ran around in a hurry.
Yang Yi couldn't help laughing, but he didn't add fuel to the fire with a bad taste.
"I was negligent about this matter. You don't need to exchange your rewards for lights. I will open up a reading corner."
He always said to encourage everyone to read and write, but Yang Yi forgot to do the corresponding supporting work, so he just remembered the pre-training.
Now the children in the study class already know a lot of characters, and some smart children have the ability to learn by themselves. They can even guess the general meaning after reading a sentence, and learn new characters from it.
Needless to say, Lancao already has the ability to read independently.
They already have the ability to start reading independently. As for what they are good at and like, they can find answers from books by themselves.
"A reading corner?"
"Yes, there will be a lot of bright lights there, and there will be some books. You can read there when you are free."
Yang Yi can't spend too much time staring at it, and he can't teach everything a little bit. At present, he is only controlling the general direction, and he only thinks of how to solve the details when encountering problems.
He put more books in various fields in the reading corner, and if some people encountered problems, they could ask Lancao or other literate children to look them up.
Even if the efficiency was low at the beginning, it gave everyone a way to find out, instead of just getting knowledge from him.
Mao jumped up and started circling on the ground again, cheering, "That's really great! Lancao will be very happy to hear that."
"Your reward opportunity is still reserved, what reward do you want now?"
"Of course it's the universal saber!" Mao blurted out without hesitation.
Yang Yi told Hei Lie about the reading corner, and Hei Lie also thought it was a good thing.
"Just set it up in the temple, where the wisdom of God is hidden."
Yang Yi also felt that the temple was very suitable, so that he could make full use of the most luxurious building in the tribe.
Otherwise, it would be too wasteful to just use it as a transshipment warehouse, and it would be empty if it is usually empty, so it is better to do something meaningful.
"Put some more tables and chairs inside, nail some bookshelves." Yang Yi exclaimed, "They are all made of golden nanmu!"
Yang Yi brought back a lot of golden nanmu boards in the space. Although they haven't dried in the shade, they can be used as desks.
This small reading corner is precisely a reading room, no matter it is placed on the earth or here, it is extremely precious, but the precious direction is different.
Yang Yi took out the golden nanmu board and a complete set of carpentry tools, but there were no nails, and they were made with a mortise and tenon structure.
At present, the table is also very simple to make, with only one board and four legs, and the same is true for the stool.
It happens to be able to use tables and chairs to exercise woodworking skills.
The carpentry is selected by Jiao, and when building the house, someone showed their talent in this area.
Among them, the most dexterous is an ordinary man named Mu, who is not in the same grade, but is very careful and patient.
His rattan products are some of the best in the tribe, and some are simply works of art.
Most of the fighters think that they have high combat effectiveness, and most of them like to prove their strength by force, so these more surprising processing jobs are better than ordinary people.
Soldiers prefer to use their own strength, even if they use their brains, it is how to improve their combat effectiveness.
In this way, all kinds of people in the tribe can have their own specialties and cooperate with each other.
"I require the same size and the same style. So you can design each part first, record what you need and what size, and then distribute it to different people to make different parts, and finally put them together."
Yang Yi handed Mu a blank album and a barrel of pencils.
Mu took it over and asked, "Why isn't one person in charge of making a complete set?"
"This is more efficient, and the requirements for producers will be lower, and practice makes perfect faster." Yang Yi explained.
"As long as they learn a part of the production, they can also complete it in the end. But they must pay attention to the accuracy, otherwise they will not be able to put together in the end. This will also lose some artistry. At present, we still prioritize efficiency."
I couldn't understand the meaning of some of Yang Yi's words, but he probably guessed the general meaning of the whole sentence.
At first, Yang Yi also tried to use the language here to describe his meaning, but some words were too difficult to convert, especially some words that are not here, it was really hard for him to explain.
But he found that everyone could understand the context and vocabulary, so Yang Yi started to be lazy and stopped thinking about how to express it in the language here.
As a result, communication between each other is not hindered.
Everyone also felt that what he spoke was the language of God, full of a strong sense of mystery, and the admiration in his eyes became stronger.
A lot of vocabulary has also been used by everyone, enriching the local language.
"God's envoy, I probably understand."
"You can add some of your own ideas while completing the task requirements, as long as it doesn't exceed the time. The set of tools is there, and you can take whatever you want."
Yang Yi also doesn't want to hinder the development of personality because of the emphasis on efficiency. People yearn for beautiful things. It is also a happy thing to fill life with art, and it is worthwhile to 'waste' a little time.
"Thank you Angel!" Mu was so excited, he couldn't move his eyes when he saw that set of tools, he never knew there were so many interesting things.
Mu left Yang Yi's tent with a bunch of things in his arms. He still sleeps in a hammock, but it is built in a grass shed outside, and he usually works in the shed.
However, although he was approachable, not many people dared to come to him directly.
Unless it was close, or he sent people over.
"God envoy, are you looking for me?"
A woman with a child on her back came in, looking a little nervous.
"You are Caiyun, right?"
"Yes, God's Messenger, thanks to you, my child survived." Caiyun's eyes turned red when he said this.
Caiyun was the first to be deported. She is an unfortunate and lucky person.
The father of her child, a strong warrior, had died on a hunt, leaving her and her newborn child.
If it weren't for everyone's care along the way, and the child has the other half of the father's strong genes, otherwise he would definitely not survive.
Even so, when he arrived in the Black Forest, he had already become very weak. It was Yang Yi's appearance that snatched the child back from the hands of the god of death, and he could still drink precious milk powder every day.
Now the child is very healthy and strong. Although he is still young, it seems that he can already predict that he will be a very powerful fighter in the future.
"I heard that your hands are very skillful. This is some wool. See if you can knead it into a rope and then weave it into clothes."
Yang Yi pointed to the wool beside him, took out another book and handed it to Caiyun.
"It shows how to weave clothes with a few sticks. You can follow along."
The book is full of pictures, and the simple stitches can be understood without reading the text.
"This, is this a task assigned to me? If I can do it, can I be responsible for it?" Caiyun said excitedly.
Her child is still young, and now she is the youngest child in the entire tribe. Jiao used to help take care of her, so she could go out to collect.
Now Jiao is very busy and has no time to take care of such a small child, so she can only take care of it by herself.
She usually does things, but compared to collecting, she always feels that there are too few things she can do, and she is always uneasy, and she also wants to prove herself.
"Yes, this matter is very important, you have to study it carefully."
"God's envoy, I will definitely do a good job!"
Caiyun happily took the book and left, and the wool would be carried to her house by others.
Today one after another someone took away the books recording God's wisdom from Yang Yi, and everyone couldn't say how envious they were.
Many people have never touched the books, they are looking at them from a distance.
It records the wisdom of God, which is admirable.
But it didn't take long for everyone to have this power.
There is a reading room in the temple!
There are a lot of books in it, and there are all kinds of books. Anyone who wants to read them can go in and read them.
It's just that you must follow the rules, otherwise you will never be able to enter again.
Books are fragile, and the people here are too strong, so they are required to wash their hands before entering, and they must be gentle and slow when crossing, and they cannot make loud noises, eat, or do anything except reading and writing in the temple. other things.
At the same time, the books belong to everyone, let alone leave the temple with them, unless they apply to the envoy and he agrees.
Otherwise, they will be punished by God and expelled from the tribe forever.
In fact, there is no such punishment, and everyone will not dare to mess around in the temple. This is a place where God can hear and see everyone.
"Tooth, you guy even read a book? Can you understand it! You can't even recognize numbers now."
The little monkey jumped out suddenly, and jumped in front of the tooth that had just come out of the temple.
Not everyone likes to study. Some people feel dizzy when they see those words, and their scalps feel numb when they think of arithmetic. Teeth are one of them.
"Can't I go and have a look! The envoy said, anyone who is interested can go and see!" Tooth's face flushed red.
"I didn't say no, why are you in a hurry." The little monkey snorted, "What did you go to see?"
"Some books are full of pictures, and you can understand them even if you don't know the words. It's fun!"
After finishing speaking, I still feel a little regretful: "However, it is better to know the characters, so that you can understand what is specifically said in it."
"There are other books like this?"
"Yeah, you'll know if you go and see for yourself!"
The book I read was a comic book that Yang Yi put in, and there were some vivid stories in it.
In fact, the number is not many, because he still has to choose suitable ones and have educational significance. At present, a few books are released first, and they are more biased towards children.
Such as "Journey to the West", which is too full of rebellious spirit, it is difficult for Yang Yi to come up with it at present.
A monkey jumping out of a stone dared to make a big disturbance in the Heavenly Palace and fight against the gods. This is too exciting for the people here.
However, for the primitive world where culture and entertainment are scarce, these little stories are already astonishing.
Yang Yi will take out these because he wants to stimulate some people's desire to be literate.
Although many people also want to learn to read and read, there are still many people who feel that it has nothing to do with them.
After all, in their cognition, only a very small number of people in the tribe, such as priests, can learn things.
In addition, I can't see the direct benefits of literacy to myself, especially fighters with high force values, I feel that my fists are just fine.
They will use their brains to think about how to improve themselves, how to better hunt and defeat enemies, but none of these require literacy.
Therefore, many people lack interest in it.
After the reading room was officially opened, the rate of soldiers coming in was the least.
But when some people read the novel little stories in the reading corner, when people outside said it, many people have a new understanding and interest in books.
It turns out that there are still these things in the book!
Everyone doesn't know much about the text, and they just think it records some major events of the tribe.
In their view, this is not accessible to ordinary people, and the content is of great significance.
Although Yang Yi said that a lot of knowledge can be found in books, some people don't think too much about it, and always feel that it is too far away from them.
Now it is different, the comic book is equivalent to piercing a hole, which makes people want to explore whether those books are as they said.
This makes some bold and curious people also take the time to go in and have a look.
The reading room will be lit with solar lights all night, so that the room feels like daytime.
You can read it anytime.
There are also desks inside, as well as pens and paper. Books cannot be taken away, but paper can be taken away after copying.
So far, it cannot be said that the whole tribe has a high interest in learning, at least it has gradually taken root in everyone's heart.
Step by step, everyone's deep-rooted impression of words was first changed.
Only in this way can we better realize the literacy of the whole people, and more books in Yang Yi Space can be truly used.
