Wolf King

Chapter 38: Delicious oatmeal

The alfalfa with a yield of about 1600 to 1800 kg per mu, the total yield (fresh pasture) harvested is about 2.8 million kg. If such a tonnage of forage grass has modern processing equipment, even a small forage straw processing factory, it will only take a few days of working time for a few workers; but in a different world where there is no feather, this " "The trouble of happiness" is really a trouble-all the staff went into the air to dry, bale, and pile up, as long as the ground around the tribe was full of pasture, and the empty space in the tribe where people could walk was all pasture; Within a few days, almost everyone can smell the fragrance of alfalfa in their sleep. A nightmare is the shape of alfalfa...

Nor does it mean that the grassland residents have never seen so much pasture. Each tribe prepares more forage during winter, but the job of accumulating forage is to slowly accumulate less for the entire autumn. More than that-who the **** did this urge to complete the whole process of harvesting, drying, bundling and storage in ten days!

In this regard, the cub Ayun kept urging all the time to talk too slow and too long, or the patriarch wanted to beat him very much if there was no excuse to beat him!

Finally, he finished the alfalfa storage work, and when he was rushed to make a water truck to dig a ditch to dig a pond, the clan carrying the **** silently lined up in front of the line, and Ayun in the back was whispering with his finger or could not understand. You can understand the creepy words in one ear:

"Twenty-six tier one labor, twenty-three tier two labor, seven tier three labor..."

"The first-level plus second-level water conservancy projects are in a hurry to complete the irrigation of the farmland, but the river project is a little dangling..."

"If you can't do it, you can't expect that there will be no water in summer and autumn this year. In any case, the river on the north bank must be artificially reinforced..."

"It won't work without pumping people to get some salt..."

"Playing birds playing birds seems to be not enough to arrange the next working hours. Is it more night shift..."

The red leaves in front of Xiao Yun stopped suddenly, hit Xiao Yun with her hard, iron back muscles, and turned her head stiffly: "Ayun, how much do you want us to do?"

Xiao Yun rubbed his nose and pushed Hongye forward: "You are not right, Hongye, not how much I want to find for everyone, but how much preparation we can make before the peak of water dispatch. No matter what we do now How much sweat is there, as long as you can avoid flooding the farmland and let the flood run around, is it worth it?"

Yu in front couldn't help but turn his head: "Our tribe has lived in this area for many years, haven't heard that the water will flood the place where we live?"

"Isn’t that for sure? The location of your tribe is the upper reaches of this river. If the upper reaches flood you, then the place we are standing at now should be Ze Guo, which is full of watery swamps and even There is no place to stand."

Xiao Yun raised his hand and pointed to the northwest: "Did you not find it when you were moving near this river? The water of this river is relatively shallow and the river is not wide, about ten meters, near the upper north side. But over there, that is near the exit of the underground world, the water surface of this river suddenly doubles, and the deepest part of the river is invisible, what does this mean?"

The patrolling soldiers usually care about this if they have nothing to do. They can't figure out what A Yun wants to say. They all looked back at him blankly.

"It shows that the tributary water source of this river of the earth is not just from the river of the earth. After the tributary bypassed the area in the northwest, there is another source of water flow." Xiao Yun said, "Last year we went to the underground world to get stones. When I found that the water level of the upper and lower reaches of this river was not right, although I couldn’t follow the past to see which water was more, the increased water source in that part made the lower part of the river more turbulent and water. Bigger, there is no doubt about this."

"That is to say, our downstream position is twice as high as the upstream position of the Maomao tribe. The risk of being flooded is doubled." Xiao Yun looked at the tribes. ?"

"..." Hongye and others were expressionless. Although they didn't understand, Ayun seemed to be very reasonable.

Yu: "...Wait, who does Maomao refer to?"

Xiao Yunqiang didn't hear it, and he still said seriously: "We have not heard on the grassland which tribal grasslands were flooded, and the tribes whose cattle and sheep were swept away by the water. In the final analysis, it is the two big rivers on our grassland. There are countless tributaries, and there is no saying that there is a stable channel. When the amount of water is small, the river will only flow along the low terrain, but if there is a big water, then the channel is not changed wherever it wants to go? "

"So if you want to live and work in one place, and where you want to stay for a long time, you can't ignore the water conservancy of the river. For example, building artificial lakes, digging artificial channels to divert the river, building artificial dams on both sides of the river bank, etc. , Domesticate the surging river from uncontrolled beasts to obedient domestic animals, let him flow wherever he goes, then there will be no more flood disasters."

Although there are some words that he does not understand in his remarks, the general meaning is still understandable. The main reason is that he used the word "domestication" to make the Snow Werewolf understand more intuitively, so including The newcomers Yu and the lazy and careful river included, and the mood of the guys became more complicated again. Obviously, I already had enough of the hard days of sunrise and sunset, but I felt that A Yun was really very good. It makes sense that more hard work and more work should be done to achieve his goal. Is it swollen? !

...... Well, for everyone's sake, all bosses who work overtime and then work overtime are probably not uncommon.

The adult snow werewolf digs a row of water storage ponds in the lower part of the vegetable field and above the swamp. This location is relatively low. It can store water when it is dry, and drains the water into the swamp when the flood occurs; the cubs dig around the entire farmland. The remaining part of the ditch, by the way, transported the excavated soil and stones to the river bank; during the day, the farmland was conserved, and at night, the soil, water, and reed rods dug out during the day were used to squeeze the mud bricks, and the river embankment was artificially built in advance. Bricks.

Tu Hao... Adult water-making carts and busy tribes include daily activities such as raising cattle and sheep, cleaning sheep pens, managing newborn lambs, and cooking food. The cubs work hard to process wool products for the business activities in autumn...

After the farmland water conservancy was basically completed, Xiao Yun drove the adult Snow Werewolf of the first-level labor force to repair the river embankment, and the cubs of the second-level labor force "returned" to agriculture: wheat entered the heading and flowering period, and topdressing and watering were needed to ensure soil moisture; The seeds left in the vegetable fields can be harvested. After harvesting the seeds, ploughing, applying base fertilizer, and sowing again are necessary-when the manpower is not enough, Xiao Yun feels that planting two or three stubble vegetables every year is enough to ensure tribal supply. , I planted it continuously, and I sold it when I planted it.

The endless supply of livestock manure provided by raised cattle and sheep, the inexhaustible humus around the jungle, the bones obtained by scavenging the nests of predatory beasts and beasts, the fertile black mud fermented in the swamp for many years... …These natural fertilizers are no problem, they only need to be fermented one month in advance (more than three months when the temperature is low).

When the wheat is ripe (the growth period of spring wheat is short, the planting cycle is about daytime, and winter wheat takes more than 200 days), the weather on the grassland has also reached the hottest time of the year... Well, this heat is only relatively speaking, Judging from the fact that Thrall still needs to cover his belly to sleep at night, the highest temperature in a day is around 30 degrees, and at night the temperature should drop to about 20 degrees.

Because the over-tired people have developed the rest skills wherever they fell and fell asleep, Xiao Yun chose a corner of the square in the middle of the tribe and spread a vine grass mat to make this group of nights too hot to live in the house. Snow werewolf overnight. However, when the wheat was harvested, the relatively flat square would no longer sleep, and had to be used to dry the wheat.

Xiao Yun ran towards the wheat field when he was free when the wheat entered the heading stage. Now that the wheat ears are full, the straw is yellow, and the harvest period is near, Xiao Yun runs the wheat field more diligently and takes a piece of sheepskin while observing. Charcoal for record.

After many days of observation, he found that the relationship between the number of wheat tillers and the number of ears seems to be a bit metaphysical... he thought that the batch with strong growth and more than 30 tillers averaged only three to five wheats. Sui is almost the same as the batch he thinks is growing generally, and the tillers are around twenty.

As for the less tillers, the average number of hanging ears is one to two, which is a bit hurtful...

"I took it for granted too much before. Tillering at thirty in this situation is considered to be prosperous. I should use more snacks when I am cultivating deeply."

He gently squeezed the ear of wheat that was a bit stubborn. The passable grain was full of comfort and gave him some comfort, but... randomly folded the ear of wheat and rubbed the wheat husk and counted the wheat grains. Xiao Yun felt again To the blow-the number of grains per ear is actually more than 30? ! Is it poisonous! Shouldn't the grain of wheat per ear be around fifty? !

The patriarch who accompanied Xiao Yun originally looked at the wheat field with excitement. Unexpectedly, Ayun suddenly changed his face, which scared the patriarch to lean back.

"Right, variety problem." Raising his hand and squeezing his heart, Xiao Yun found a reason not to blow himself up at once. "The wheat seeds on the earth can extract an average of 50 wheat ears. The efforts of the family...The tauren is more powerful, after all, it is the cottage version of the civil science Yuan Longping, and the requirements cannot be so high."

People must look forward to doing things. Xiao Yun does not have so much time and energy to be annoyed. He has to devote his energy to thinking about the countermeasures as much as possible: "... In this case, next year, we must use effective tillers for heading. The goal is that more ears can also offset the disadvantage of having fewer grains. Well... I’m idle in the winter anyway, I can also open a test field for winter wheat and try to cultivate wheat varieties that are resistant to frost. There is a rush, there is nothing without trying."

Write down what you thought, Xiao Yun returned to normal color and continued to observe the wheat field.

Watching the patriarch who changed his face quietly without saying a word: "?"

Ayun is really a weirdo!

During the wheat harvest, if it hits a rainy day, it is equivalent to blood mold. Fortunately, the rainy season on the grassland is mostly after the midsummer. At this time, it will rain after three forks. Choose a sunny day to harvest and return. Not too worrying.

Sixty fields of wheat, about 600 acres of wheat, all staff worked for two days to complete the harvesting work-thanks to the previous exercise when harvesting 1800 acres of alfalfa in one breath, everyone became skilled workers and their efficiency was greatly improved.

The task of picking up wheat ears in the wheat field is handed over to the rabbits and Thrall (yes, after the cats’ paws of the rabbits and the paws of the humans have to be borrowed), the others all participate in the wheat threshing.

There is no thresher. Xiao Yun has seen the traditional wooden pedal thresher in the country, but he is busy as a gyro and has no effort to think about this, so the threshing work of wheat can only be taken more primitive... ...Hand-beating and flail threshing.

Spreading the harvested wheat on the square of the tribe, the powerful adult snow werewolf grabbed the wheat straw and threw it against the stone. The strength was almost knocked by the wooden yoke... well, this yoke Not only the weapon of the holy ride in Diablo 3, but also the original threshing tool used by the farming people. Two wooden sticks of different lengths were tied with vines and grass. The man held the long wooden stick and waved the shorter wooden stick. Beating on the wheat stalks spread on the ground, the mature grains will fall out of the ears during the beating process.

Take away the wheat straw, and the wheat grains beaten back against the wind "Yangmai"... use a long stick tied with a wooden tool in the shape of a shovel to raise the wheat and let the wind blow away the impurities in the wheat grains.

Next, let's dry it, put it in a straw bucket made of vine grass and reed rods, and put it in a temporary grass shed warehouse for storage...

Xiao Yun took out a piece of field wheat alone to thresh the wheat, roughly calculate the total output, calculate the yield per acre, and the results obtained made him almost worried... Such a fertile land, so carefully waiting for these uncles, harvested The yield per mu is only four hundred pounds, which is still the yield that has not been hulled. The modern world's lazy unintentionally farming three days to fish and two days drying the nets have at least 500 mu of mu per month! People still plant it on barren mountains, or the yield after shelling! The sweat and tears sprinkled in the wheat field, really fed the Husky!

Say a good 100 times return on wheat! It's too much too much to cut directly in half!

Snow werewolves & rabbits wiped the large sweat on their foreheads, a satisfied smirk looked at the straw buckets piled up in the row of five large shed warehouses, the smile was full of satisfaction... they Most of the people actually haven’t eaten wheat at all and don’t know what it tastes like, but they are happy as long as they know these are edible foods.

"I have eaten wheat cakes in the Tauren tribe, it's delicious!" The horns that I've eaten show off to those who haven't.

"How delicious?" The cubs bit their fingers curiously.

The horns thought for a while: "It's delicious anyway!"

The feather on the edge: "..."

"Yeah~~~~" Happy cubs pounced to surround Xiao Yun, who was all low, "Ayun Ayun, eat wheat cake!"

Xiao Yun gave these gangsters who were stronger and stronger than him to sway like kites: "Walk around, eat, and eat, stop and give me a concussion~~~ ~"

Hmm... In order to avoid being shaken by siblings of the same family, Xiao Yun promised the guys casually, but the harvested wheat had not been hulled and could not be eaten.

Ancient Western farmers would send wheat to the mill, coarsely grind it into wheat flour with a lot of wheat bran, and then knead it and bake it in a bread oven to make hard bread. Sao operation) eat directly; in the case of Chinese farmers, Qin Dynasty and Qin will eat wheat rice...that is, rice cooked with shelled wheat, which is better than dead bread, but it is not strong enough to taste , Card throat; the use of stone mills in the Han Dynasty began to spread (tofu was invented during this period), Chinese farmers eat wheat mainly wheat flour, a variety of pasta culture has been carried forward to later generations.

Large stone mills can't be made without processing tools. In the case of small stone mills, they are heated by fire, cooled by cooling water, and using the principle of thermal expansion and contraction to brittle the surface of the stone and then process it into the desired shape. To.

Pound out a round rolling stone with a diameter of about 60 centimeters and a thickness of about 20 centimeters. Looking for a larger stone with a flat surface, chisel a flat stone with a length shorter than the stone surface and a depth of A rectangular groove with four to five centimeters and a width of twenty-one to twenty-two centimeters that just fits the rolling stone inside. The most primitive stone mill is made.

Sprinkle the dried wheat grains into the groove, and let someone roll the rolling stone in the groove, rolling back and forth with the weight of the rolling stone, which can achieve the effect of removing the hull. Wheat grind-Of course, this over-primitive stone mill is not as good as a serious double-piece stone mill, but it is simple and easy to make ~ when you are in urgent use, you can still manage so much.

Use this simple and easy-to-make original rolling stone to grind wheat flour that is not fine and has a lot of wheat bran. Fermented with yeast made from Xiao Yun soy sauce and kneaded into a big fist dough; spread the dough and wrap it with bone soup The boiled vegetables and radishes and a small amount of meat are made into very unpretentious giant buns, which are then steamed in a square steamer that was used to steam animal bones...

Xiao Yun was too lazy to do too much because he was stuck in the wheat field. This giant bun was made by counting the human heads, and then there was a big problem... There is only one adult snow werewolf enough to eat. After eating, everyone stared. Look at Xiao Yun.

"..." Xiao Yun, who took a bite of wheat bran buns, swallowed neither, nor spit it out.

Qing Yan, who ate a small half, silently divided the bun in his hand and handed it to Dahe.

The rabbit cubs who have a good relationship with the horns distribute their buns to the horns, and the other three have the same lessons to share with the nearby adult snow werewolves.

The adult rabbits looked at the covetousness of the snow werewolf, and although they were reluctant, they also took their share.

Thrall... Thrall came to the grasslands for the first time to eat the food he used to when he was in the human world. He reluctantly gave half to the patriarch.

The appetite of the werewolf cubs is not much worse than that of adulthood. Anyone who gets the points will be given to others, and if they haven't finished eating, they will squeeze their mouths hard.

The adult snow wolves who did not share the buns continued to stare at Xiao Yun.

"..." Xiao Yun couldn't help but laughed out loudly, "Ah, I really served you, and I want to eat back to help noodles, steaming at night until you can't eat it!" "

"Good!" The horn immediately ran towards Shimo.

"I'm going to hold a bucket of wheat!" Dahe ran towards the warehouse.

"Then I will wash the vegetables." Hongye also moved.

"I'll help." Yu got up to keep up.

"——I usually call out to do half of my work as a child!" Xiao Yun vomited in the corner of his mouth. The vomiting was over, and the haze in his heart was also swept away. He just doesn't like the per mu yield of wheat and the contribution is not proportional. Xiao Yun is actually very satisfied with the fact that the tribe can have staple foods other than meat...After all, the time and output of meat are worse than efficiency.

"Forget it, think that the ancient Europeans planted wheat for only 200 jin per mu. Our wheat with shells can produce 400 jins. It is also a winner... let alone this output is not a limit, and try to increase it to 500 next year. There is hope for the catty-Chinese farmers don’t have a good land, otherwise people’s intensive cultivation is definitely not the point of production."

In the final analysis, Xiao Yun's eyes are black-hearted. Although the yield of 400 kg per mu is indeed low, it is much more planted. A stubble harvested more than 200,000 kg of wheat. The snow wolf has a large belly, and a hundred more. People can be raised until next year.

No taxes yet... No one here collects taxes to get the snow werewolves up.

Crossing the stubble, Xiao Yun, who was cheering up, continued to think about the task arrangement for this year: the wheat that involved him with the greatest energy and made him dare not leave the warehouse; the vegetable cultivation and the care of alfalfa were handed over Clan, the soil fertilizer collected before fermenting and maturing should be used in the next vegetable field and alfalfa topdressing. There is no big problem (the last time the vegetable field and alfalfa field topdressing...), if the field is sprinkled with water, the canals will be connected to the Snow Wolf. The cub can do it; the embankment on the north bank of the river bank is also repaired for a period of time, and it is not difficult to continue to repair and repair to the swamp.

"...Now for this situation, I should have no problem temporarily leaving for half a month and a month." Xiao Yun touched his chin and looked up to the clear sky. It is now the hottest time of the year, and the temperature sensing of the wheat harvest in the past few days should be about 30 degrees. Such a good weather is too wasteful if not used.

That night, all the staff enjoyed a wheat meal, steamed buns and scones in a two-pronged way to stuff everyone up. After the meal, Xiao Yun called the patriarch and eight soldiers and proposed his next work arrangement... to draw some of the tribes to cook salt at the beach.

Well, it is the proper meaning of working in the workplace when proposing an unfamiliar project first. In the afternoon, Xiao Yun caught the patriarch Patriarch for a long time and fooled the patriarch first... uh, with the patriarch’s support,

"Boil... salt?" Hongye was baffled when he heard the word. "Isn't the salt left in the water? How do you cook it?"

"The patriarch went to the beach when he was young. The sea water is salty. To the patriarch?" Xiao Yun looked at the patriarch with a smile.

"Yes." The patriarch nodded deeply. "At that time, our tribe was still very strong. The human caravan was afraid of the tigers. Please send them out of the middle of the grassland to the pier of the Inland Sea to take a boat."

"Seawater is salty, because there is salt in the seawater." Xiao Yun looked confidently. "As long as we can find a way to get salt from the seawater and bring it back, we don't have to pay the koji to exchange salt with the caravan. The salt can also be used for pickles." He deliberately licked his tongue. "The pickles are delicious, and the taste is very special, which is better than our current way of eating."

The sound of "Guru", including the black panther warrior Qingyan and the tutu warrior Qiu, who watched it, swallowed all of them together... Ayun said that the delicious things must be delicious, which is more reliable than the horns. Much more.

"Can I follow?" Yu asked, anxiously and nervously.

Xiao Yun glanced at him. He believed that Mao Mao was never greedy, but wanted to know how to get salt... For the impoverished Snow Werewolf tribe, it was a huge burden to trade green salt with the caravan every year. The caravan only accepts bent-horn cattle exchange and no sheep. If the tribe's cattle are not enough, it will take much more time to exchange long-haired sheep with the cats for an absolute loss.

"Of course." Xiao Yun smiled and smiled. There is nothing to hide such as boiled sea to take salt, which has no technical content. He can make more hairy things here-as long as this warrior can continue to be smart, Xiao Yun guarantees that this group of compatriots will never escape The palm of his hand.
