Chapter 48 Spring
"Sow a grain of millet in spring and harvest ten thousand seeds in autumn."
Chen Bei rode the Rhino King to the next to the vegetable field. The spring plowing of the Mang tribe had begun, and the planting team was busy turning the ground. Anyone in the tribe who had time would come to help.
These lands have been turned over once after the harvest last fall. After being frozen by heavy snow, the land is very soft and it is not very difficult to turn over.
When it was first opened up, the land was yellowish. After a year of planting and fertilization, it began to turn gray. After a long time of planting, the color will become darker until it becomes completely mature.
Last winter, the captain of the planting team, Yan and several members of the planting team, became totem warriors, but they did not ask to hunt, but continued to farm.
Hunting, fishing, planting and breeding are equally important, and they are all ways for tribes to obtain food. Chenbei has always instilled this concept in them, and everyone is convinced of the leader's words.
“Geehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
“Gagaha…”
In the vegetable field, colorful pheasants and red ducks followed behind the planting team. In the field that had just been opened, there were often some earthworms and insects, which were their delicacies.
On the grass next to the vegetable field, the triangular green sheep were leisurely eating grass. Now the triangular green sheep have been tamed by more than a dozen triangular green sheep. After raising it, only one or two children need to watch them.
Chen Bei sat on the back of the Rhino King, looking at the vibrant tribe, his heart was filled with a sense of accomplishment. This was the tribe he created.
Chen Bei looked at them turning over the ground and muttered: "If there were oxen, turning over the ground would be much faster. Unfortunately, it would not take a long time to raise oxen that could plow the land."
Chenbei saw many Quyuan plows when he was a child. Although there are no iron plows and rakes here, the stones are not too bad. After all, any stones in the ground can be picked up.
This year, Chenbei plans to ask the hunting team to catch a few bisons and come back to tame them. If it goes well, the bison will turn into plowing oxes in a few years.
As for using rhinos to plow the land, it is almost impossible. Rhinos are better at fighting than doing such hard work. Besides, the Totem God will definitely have opinions.
The captain of the planting team, Yan wiped his sweat. When he saw Chen Bei coming, he immediately remembered some questions.
"Chief, the collection team got a lot of seeds last year. This year, I think more wasteland should be opened. I want to ask you for your opinion."
Chen Bei waved his hand and said, "You are the captain of the planting team, so don't ask me about these things, you can decide for yourself."
"Okay, the leader walks slowly."
Chenbei sat down with the Rhino King and continued to walk around the tribe, and the tribe members along the way greeted him respectfully.
Chenbei came to the river again, and the fishing team members were busy.
"Quick, pull the net!"
A large net was extremely heavy, and Lie led the fishing team members to pull the river bank desperately. There were many fish in the net, jumping around.
"Moo!"
A rhino is also helping to pull the net. It is the mount selected by Lie. Although it is not as strong as the rhino king, it is also very thick and powerful, and can help a lot.
After the big net was pulled up, Lie asked the members of the fishing team to sort the fish in the fishing net, and he himself walked quickly to Chenbei.
"Chief, I just caught a lot of fish. I will pick someone to send you a few of them to your home later."
Chen Bei smiled and said, "Lie, you are becoming more and more captain now."
Lie said embarrassedly: "I am far inferior to the leader."
"I came here to tell you something, go and talk to you."
Chen Bei turned over and walked to a large stone on the bank of the river and sat on it.
Lie hurriedly followed, but he did not sit, but stood next to Chenbei.
After experiencing many things, Chen Bei's image in the minds of tribes has become taller and taller. Although Chen Bei is not old, no one dares to underestimate him.
Chen Bei patted the stone next to him and said, "Sit down and say, what are you doing while standing? I don't like to talk with my head raised."
"yes!"
Lie sat down.
"Your fishing team should have a lot of knowledge about the Lobster River, right?"
"We have already learned a lot about the waters near the shore, but we still don't understand the center of the river. There are many terrifying water beasts and big fish inside."
Chen Bei nodded and said, "Yes, there are indeed many dangerous things in the river. Because of this, I ask you not to go into the water."
Chen Bei said again: "However, you are familiar with fishing now, and it is impossible if you don't go into the water."
"So, I'm going to build a few canoes for you to fish in shallow waters."
"Canoe?" Lie was a little confused, he had never heard of this word.
Chen Bei explained: "It is to hollow out a big tree and sharpen its ends so that it can carry people to float on the water. After adding the oars, you can take you to where you want to go."
Lie asked nervously: "Is this canoe easy to master in the water?"
Chenbeidao: "If you just float on the water, it is very easy. If you want to master it skillfully, you need to train more and find experience, and you will naturally master it."
"With the canoe, you can cast a net better, and you will definitely catch more fish."
Lie hurriedly said, "Don't worry, leader, we will definitely work hard to master it."
Chen Bei nodded. In fact, if it weren't for the more difficult ship to build, he would have wanted to build a ship directly.
Shipbuilding is much more complicated than canoe building. Chenbei has no experience in shipbuilding, so he can only hope to develop slowly in the future and summarize experience.
"I just tell you in advance about this. When I go back, let the carpenter start to do the canoe. After you finish it, you will practice in the pond and learn it, and then go to the river."
Chen Bei got up, patted his butt, and said, "Okay, you go back and fish, it won't delay you."
After Chen Bei rode the Rhino King away, Lie sighed: "It turns out that he is worthy of being the leader. His brain is smart and he can always come up with good ideas. Why can't my brain think of these things?"
Lie knocked on his head and turned around and went back to fish.
Chen Bei returned to the tribe and found the carpenter in the tribe.
The name of the carpenter is "Gen". During the process of building the tribe, Chen Bei discovered that this man had a high talent as a carpenter, so he became a professional carpenter in the tribe without having to do other work.
“Tu tu tu tu…”
Before he entered the door, Chenbei heard the sound of a stone axe chopping the wood. He walked in and saw that the carpenter was making a table.
In order to make the carpenter work better, Chen Bei used to tell him a lot about carpentry techniques in his previous life.
For example, simple mortise and tenon structures, such as the appearance of furniture, approximate manufacturing technology, etc.
He had only a little understanding of these things, but the carpenter was very talented. Chen Bei could do many things after he tried them a few times.
The carpenter was very focused when working. After Chen Bei came in, he did not look up, so naturally he did not see Chen Bei.
It took a long time before the carpenter noticed that Chen Bei had come in. He hurriedly put down his tools and stood up, saying hello at a loss.
"leader……"
Chen Bei smiled and said, "It's okay, I just came, don't be nervous."
The carpenter breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Chief, is there any work to ask me for?"
Chen Bei nodded and said, "That's right, the fishing team needs several canoes, I hope you can do it."
Chen Bei talked about the process of making a canoe, and used a stick on the ground to draw out the appearance of the canoe and the oars.
"I understand, this thing is not difficult to do, it just takes a little longer. I will do it after finishing my hands."
Chenbeidao: "You make it slowly, and you don't have to hurry. In addition, after the canoe is ready, you need to roast it over fire, but it cannot be too bad. It can prevent cracking and decay. You also need to try this with wood first."
The carpenter nodded and said, "No problem, I remember."
"Okay, keep busy, I won't bother you."
Chen Bei didn't stay here for too long, and left after he finished talking.
