Farming in the Beast World: I Lead the Orphan Beast Husband to Become Rich
Chapter 103 Planting for Eating
At noon, except for a few fish that were grilled, Lin Xi peeled off the skin of the rest of the fish, processed them, and hung them on the stone slabs to dry.
After it dries, it can be used after rubbing and rolling.
However, it was cloudy today, so hanging it in the sun would not work. Lin Xi was afraid of rain, so he took the wooden board with the fish skin back into the house and placed it behind an open window to slowly dry it.
In the afternoon, the tribe began to become lively.
Lin Xi kept the usable wood residues that the orcs had brought in the morning.
The rest were sent by Wu Chen to the Mountain Fire Square.
The evening return ceremony is actually a large-scale, whole-tribe dinner held at the mountain fire square. A lot of food needs to be grilled during the ceremony, so a lot of wood is needed.
In order to prepare for the work, almost all the orcs in the tribe are now moving.
In order to prepare for these tasks, the orcs were mostly divided into three factions: those who looked for wood, those who hunted, and those who gathered grass.
After delivering the firewood, Wu Chen went out hunting with Bai Ming and Hui Jie!
Lin Xi was standing on the hillside, watching the busy scene in the tribe. After thinking for a while, he called Xueying and Yueqing from next door, picked up their backpacks and went to the experimental field together.
Before she went to the Spring Festival, she arranged for orcs to stay in the tribe to take care of the crops. When she came here, two of the orcs happened to be in the fields.
There were also two orcs guarding the waterwheel.
Lin Xi first walked to the cornfield that she cared about most, squatted down and took a closer look.
Then I was pleasantly surprised to find that the corn was growing quite well.
Although there are occasional missing seedlings in the field, it is not serious. The seedlings are growing well and are now almost knee-high!
Lin Xi finally breathed a sigh of relief!
Judging from the growth of the corn and the nearly one and a half months it has taken since it was sown, the growth cycle of these corns is not much different from that of modern corn.
In this case, the subsequent maturity cycle should be similar.
Thinking of this, Lin Xi felt a little relieved.
She stood up and slowly walked towards the other crops.
The purple-skinned fruits and black-worm fruits have already grown, but it looks like it will take some time before they bear fruit.
However, green leafy vegetables, such as bobo grass, sweet grass, and red grass, as well as green onions and iceberg lettuce used as seasonings, are now edible!
There are also small sweet fruits, which bear fruit much faster than those of purple-skinned peaches. At this time, small purple-black fruits are hanging under the leaves!
"Xueying, Yueqing, let's dig up some greens and share them with everyone in the tribe tonight."
After checking, Lin Xi finally felt relieved. She took off the backpack behind her and spoke to the two little female beasts who were following her in amazement.
The two little female beasts also went to the spring festival, so today was the first time they saw the current situation of the experimental field.
As a carnivorous cat-type beastman, Yueqing was fine. But Xueying, as a herbivorous beastman who had to run to the woods to collect food almost every day, was shocked when she saw such a large area of grass grown by the beastmen themselves!
So when she heard Lin Xi's words, she felt a little uneasy: "Wise Xixi, these foods are very precious. Do we really have to dig them out and eat them?"
Lin Xi was stunned. She looked at Xueying, then at the reluctant expressions of the two orcs who were her students in planting, and immediately understood their concerns.
She smiled helplessly: "Of course, food is grown to be eaten, but we are planting less now and need to save seeds, so we can't dig it all out."
"But tonight's ceremony is special, so it's okay for everyone to have a little taste. And I also want to take this opportunity to announce to everyone the good news that we have successfully grown food!"
Several orcs were a little moved by what Lin Xi said. Xueying and Yueqing looked at each other, and surprise gradually appeared in their eyes.
"But." At this time, Lin Xi suddenly said, "You can't just dig it casually."
Lin Xi looked at the two orcs she had assigned to look after the experimental field: "Mianrong, Hongyun, come to the front, I'll tell you what to do."
When the sweetgrass and redgrass were sown, they were all sown in handfuls, so when they grew up, they were all planted closely together, filling up the entire pond.
If you grow them normally, you need to quickly pull out the big ones little by little and eat them. At the same time, the gaps left after pulling out the vegetables can also facilitate the rapid growth of the small seedlings that have not grown yet.
But now, because Lin Xi still wants to save the seeds of the vegetables in the field, Hongyun and the others have not dared to touch these vegetables.
"Just like this, pull out the larger ones, and then use the spaces created by pulling them out to allow the smaller seedlings to grow next to them."
"When pulling them out, don't pull them hard. Pull them out by shaking them back and forth. Don't leave the roots in the ground. And don't worry about pulling too many. One or two will be fine."
Lin Xi said this while demonstrating to several orcs.
Xueying and the others watched, and after Lin Xi pulled down two trees, they all tried their hand at it.
About an hour later, a pile of freshly picked vegetables had been piled up at the edge of the experimental field.
Lin Xi stood up in the field, looked at the thinned vegetable patch again, and nodded with satisfaction. It looked more spacious this way!
"Okay, let's take these back and ask the orcs to clean them up."
Lin Xi called the four orcs back from the fields, and together they packed the fresh vegetables into backpacks and bags, and then carried them back to the tribe together.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the tribe has been raised to a very high level without anyone noticing.
Walking inside, Lin Xi felt that she was surrounded by the joyful atmosphere of the orcs, and it even made her feel like it was New Year's Day!
When he came back, Bai Nu was building a bonfire with the orcs in the Mountain Fire Square for the evening. Lin Xi simply threw all the vegetables he brought back to him and asked him to find the orcs to wash them.
It was already late, and the daylight was beginning to fade. It felt like it would be very late before he could go to bed, so Lin Xi simply went back to the cave and took a nap while there was still time.
When she woke up, she turned her head and saw that the sky outside the window had turned dark!
There was a faint noise coming from the direction of the square, and she sat up with a start, leaning over the window to look over there. From a distance, she could see a huge bonfire in the middle of the square, but it hadn't been lit yet.
Fortunately, fortunately, she thought she had slept through the ceremony!
At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared in Lin Xi's eyes: "Wu Chen, you're back!"
