Traveling through the primitive world: I was a priest in the tribe
Chapter 103: Ape 10
Ji Lang didn't think about checking the homework at this moment. He sorted out the Swiss Army knives that were refreshed in the house. He originally thought that these people were used to using big knives, so there was no need to equip them with small knives that were used as tools. But then he changed his mind and decided that they should carry something for self-defense. There were not so many wooden pistols made, and it was too late to make them now. It would be safer to distribute the knives that were refreshed to the hunters who were going out.
He would first sort out what needed to be sorted out, and let Qingjiu do it tomorrow.
Da Mao went to the fields with Sa Shi and Lan to weed and have not returned yet. Since the rain, the grass in the fields has grown much faster than the crops, especially in the potato and pepper fields. The weeds are growing like crazy and will turn green if they are not cleaned up in a few days.
Because of the presence of apes these days, they couldn't go too far to collect, so Li and his friends went to the fields every day, picking up the weeds and picking out the edible ones. They dried some of them to eat in the cold season, and fed some of them to the rabbits, sheep, and ducks at home.
Ji Lang had no choice but to put the handful of wild vegetables he brought back from Grandma Xue on the table and wait for Damao to come back before feeding it.
This handful is only enough for three days. Grandma Xue said she would go dig some more and send them to Ji Lang after they are dried.
Although the principle is unknown, it is still a bit incredible that eating wild vegetables can actually grow bones and flesh. However, Ji Lang did not question it. After all, these people came to their conclusions through practice. If they don't understand the principle, they can just follow other people's methods blindly.
Just as he was daydreaming, there was a noise outside. Ji Lang lifted the door curtain and took a look. As expected, here comes the devil. Damao came in through the doorway following Sa Shi's butt. He had two small bags on his back, one on each side, filled with green wild vegetables.
"Are you back?" Ji Lang greeted Sa Shi.
Sa Shi had a smile on her face. Her skin, which had just turned white after covering up for the entire winter, had now turned back to its previous brown color. Fine beads of sweat flowed down her forehead, but she didn't care. She put down the two large bamboo baskets on her back and brushed her long hair behind her head.
"Lang, come and see our harvest today. These potatoes are growing bigger and bigger. Xishi just said outside that they can be harvested now. I also picked a few of the corns you mentioned. See if they can be eaten..." There was joy in his voice.
This girl always looks full of energy. Ji Lang admires her very much. She is like a little sun.
He walked closer and took out a large corn cob from the bamboo basket. The husk had been peeled off. Ji Lang pulled it open along the marks. There were obvious fingernail marks on several of the corn kernels. He pinched one and juice immediately oozed out.
That's good, it will be broken soon.
Now that there are more people, the corn in that field seems to be a lot, but actually, each person cannot get much. Most of it has to be kept for seeds, so it needs to grow for another month or so, and then it can be dried and rubbed off and planted again. The warm season lasts a long time, and there will be windy season and rainy season later, so at least it can be harvested before the rainy season.
It seems that after dealing with the apes, the next thing to do is to reclaim the land. After all, the people coming from the Snow Mountain Tribe are better, most of them are young and middle-aged hunters, but more than half of the people from the Big Tree Tribe are old, weak and sick. We have to find a way for them to survive. When the time comes, the reclaimed land will be divided up, and they will be responsible for planting and harvesting. The food they harvest can also be exchanged for meat and furs to get through the cold season.
Potatoes have been constantly refreshing in the past few months. Jilang has kept some that have sprouted and is waiting to plant the second wave.
Several batches of peppers have been harvested, and there are several strings hanging outside the kitchen door, all of which are intended to be dried and seeded. The pumpkins in the field will soon mature. There are still many things to do, and the apes cannot be delayed. Moreover, the cave in the next yard has not been dug yet, and bricks need to be burned to build a kang for them.
The more I think about it, the more headache I feel. Why are there so many things?
"Why are you in a daze?" Sa Shi showed Ji Lang a big potato, and then saw that he was staring at a piece of corn in a daze, "Isn't this corn ripe?" That shouldn't be the case. She picked the corn according to what Ji Lang said. She didn't even break some of them that were not very full after pinching them.
Ji Lang came back to his senses, "Ah... it's cooked, it's cooked. This kind of tender corn is delicious when cooked. I'll cook it tonight for you to try."
Following Sa Shi's waving arms, he saw a potato as big as his head, "Oh my god, how can it be so big!"
Sa Shiyi looked very proud, as if it was her credit that the potatoes grew so big. "Is that so? Look at the basket, they are all this big. I didn't understand why you always said to spread manure and ash on the ground. It turns out it really works. But when I thought about the fact that this thing was grown by the shit I pooped out, I can't eat it anymore..."
Ji Lang was speechless. How could he say such disgusting things?
His leg was rubbed, and Ji Lang lowered his head. Da Mao looked at Ji Lang with his big black eyes, then turned his head and woofed at the two bags on his back.
Take it down quickly, it wants to go play.
After patting its furry head, Ji Lang took down the two small bags and told it, "Don't go out yet. I'll give you something to eat later."
Da Mao seemed to understand everything. He squatted outside the doorway with his mouth grinning and tongue hanging out, waiting obediently. When he was injured before, Ji Lang would not only give him bone soup, but also secretly prepare special meals for him from time to time, such as fish balls or sausages. He liked them very much and now he took it for granted that he had to eat delicious food.
"What is this?" Ji Lang asked while holding the bag.
Sa Shi turned his head to take a look, and continued to take the potatoes out of the basket. "Oh, these are the bitter melons that my sister-in-law dug. They are delicious when mixed with vegetables or stewed with meat. Unfortunately, they break into pieces after being dried. They can only be eaten in the warm season and cannot be saved for the cold season."
After studying it for a while, Ji Lang realized he really couldn't recognize it, so he took it into the kitchen and put it away.
Da Mao watched Ji Lang enter the kitchen and followed him excitedly, thinking that the kitchen was going to have meat. After all, the meat they occasionally cooked was taken out of this room. But Ji Lang turned around and came out with nothing in his hands. Da Mao silently went back to the doorway, lay on the ground, covered his nose with his paws, and looked up with a face full of grievance, just like Liefeng. They were indeed mother and son.
After a while, Ji Lang went back into his room. Damao was excited again. "Ham! Delicious ham!!!"
Unfortunately, it didn't get the delicious sausage, but only a handful of dry and bitter grass was stuffed into its mouth. It chewed it reluctantly twice and wanted to spit it out. Ji Lang seemed to know its intention, and took out a finger-thick wooden stick in his hand. It seemed that the stick in Ji Lang's hand was about to hit its mouth as soon as it spit it out. It had no choice but to chew it twice and swallow it in one gulp.
When it went out, its tail was drooping and it looked dejected, as if it had suffered a great injustice.
Ji Lang shook his head with some amusement, these dogs didn't learn Liefeng's skills, but they learned 90% of Liefeng's ability of pretending to be obedient and cute. They are obviously grown-up dogs, but they still look so pitiful.
In the outer courtyard, several people smiled helplessly at Da Mao who came out dejectedly. Ever since he got injured, this guy often tried to act cute and ask Ji Lang for food, but it seemed he didn't get anything this time.
Da Mao looked as if he didn't care about anyone. He walked under a big tree, lay down, stared at the sheep and sighed, one after another, which made the people around him laugh.
"This guy is even imitating human sighing." Li said helplessly.
How could she know how bitter Damao felt? Not only did he not get to eat the delicious food, he also had to eat bitter grass and was almost beaten.
Lan was washing the wild vegetables she brought back today under the water pipe. Liefeng took Ermao and Sanmao to play and drink water under the water pipe. Damao watched for a while, then his tail started wagging and he ran over to play with them.
Soon, Lan beat him with a broom and drove him away.
Lan was considered to have the best temper among the group. Usually, when the dogs played with them, Lan never lost her temper. But today, these guys were jumping around and swinging their arms around, splashing her clothes with water, and also splashing a lot of water on the wild vegetables that she had just washed. She didn't want the dishes to be covered with dog hair when she cooked later.
