Farming in the Beast World: I Lead the Orphan Beast Husband to Become Rich
Chapter 112 This is the kingdom I built for you!
Lin Xi woke up to the increasingly fragrant aroma of barbecue!
She didn't sleep for long, only about twenty minutes.
The rain outside the pavilion was getting heavier, and the raindrops fell on the animal skin awning, making dull, banging sounds.
Wu Chen was no longer beside her at this time. Instead, he was sitting in front of the fire, pulling skewers of barbecued meat out of the soil and placing them on a wooden tray.
In the open space in front of the pavilion, a low table slightly higher than the kang table had been placed, with a plate of washed fruits on it. Lin Xi sat up, and the height was just right for him to take the things on it.
"Xixi, the skewers are ready to eat! The fish will have to wait a while."
When Lin Xi just lifted the animal skin blanket, Wu Chen had already noticed the movement behind him.
When he turned around, he saw Lin Xi getting up.
The time is just right now, the skewers are already cooked, and because they are roasted by fire and coated with the juice of small sweet fruits, they have a burnt aroma when eaten!
Lin Xi was eating a skewer of meat with a cup of steaming fruit tea in front of him.
In fact, she thought that bamboo leaf tea would taste better with barbecue.
Unfortunately, she is pregnant now, and bamboo leaves are cool in nature, so she is a little afraid to drink it now.
But fruit tea is also very good!
Lin Xi took a sip of the tea in the cup, which tasted of small sweet fruits and dried peaches, sour and sweet.
The fire in front of him was burning brightly because of Wu Chen. Even though it was raining heavily all around, Lin Xi didn't feel cold at all because he had a thick animal-skin blanket wrapped around him and a warm fire in front of him.
Occasionally, a few raindrops were blown in from the other side of the pavilion by the wind and fell on my face, which was cool and comfortable.
Lin Xi squinted her eyes with pleasure. After finishing two skewers of meat and satisfying her craving, she poured herself a cup of hot tea and sat in the pavilion, looking at the rain in front of her and the wet forest beyond the rain, sipping her tea in small sips.
At this moment, she felt a rare peace of mind.
This kind of tranquility makes people feel refreshed.
On the fourth day after the rain, the new fields in the tribe were cultivated.
In fact, according to the speed of the orcs, it could be completed in one or two days, but it had just rained and the land was too muddy and not suitable for cultivation. Lin Xi asked Hongyun and the others to wait for two days.
Hongyun and his four companions have already collected all the vegetable seeds that have borne seeds. In the past two days, they have been organizing the orcs to dig canals for the new land.
Once the canal is dug, a new round of sowing will begin.
Lin Xi estimated that the newly reclaimed land this time was about 500 acres.
Looking from the hillside, the edge of the cultivated land is very close to the city wall, only about a hundred meters away, while the other end is still some distance away from the forest.
But Lin Xi knew that those distances would be filled with new farmland sooner or later.
When Lin Xi was almost three months pregnant, the tribe's wall was finally completed.
The orcs built the city wall to a height of nearly ten meters, and it was more than ten meters wide!
Lin Xi felt that even if a group of giant beasts came, it would be difficult to break down the city wall in a short period of time, let alone orcs!
On the day when the city wall was completed, Wu Chen took Lin Xi up there to feel it.
When Lin Xi stood at the highest point of the city wall, overlooking the farmland with turned-over black soil in the distance, and the forest with countless rich species in the distance, he suddenly understood the feeling of the ancient emperors overlooking the whole country!
If Bai Nu and Wu weren't there, Lin Xi would have wanted to hug Wu Chen's thin waist and wave his hand:
Look! This is the kingdom I built for you!
After plowing the land, Hongyun, Heihao, Xuehua and Mianrong took the newly harvested seeds and ran to find Linxi to ask about the time to sow.
Lin Xi looked at the fresh seeds and shook his head at the orcs: "Not now, you have to find a piece of animal skin first, spread these seeds on it to dry, and then you can sow them."
Lin Xi had seen the elders in his family collect crop seeds before. They would first dry them in the sun for two days before storing them or sowing them.
Some seeds can be properly dried to reduce pests and diseases during growth.
Although she didn't know whether all seeds had to go through this crop, she could do a small experiment.
She asked Hongyun and a few others to get a little bit of fresh seeds of each crop and sow them in a small pond in the vegetable garden.
As for all the remaining seeds, they will be planted after drying.
In this way, after three or four months, you will know which of the two methods produces better results!
As for why the formal planting method was chosen to be the drying method, while the fresh planting method was only used for a small part of the experiments, it is because the seeds of the crops that have already grown in the tribe are planted after being dried and stored for a winter.
Therefore, we will use the drying method for this round of planting. The worst result will be the same harvest as now.
But if we use the fresh planting method directly, if it doesn’t work, then we may end up with nothing this round!
So after Hongyun and the others returned, they started to dry the seeds for two days as Lin Xi had said before they started sowing.
However, although the orcs had reclaimed hundreds of acres of land, because the seeds grown in the experimental fields were limited, after the sowing, they only planted less than two hundred acres in total.
However, all these were within Lin Xi's expectations. There were few seeds at the beginning, so it was already good enough to be able to grow these now.
Winter is still a long way off, so there is no need to rely on this round of crops to store food. The task of this round of planting is also to store seeds so that the final sowing can be carried out in the fall.
Moreover, staple crops such as corn, purple fruit, and black worm fruit are not yet ripe. When they are harvested, there will be a large number of seeds!
Lin Xi also asked Jin Gan and Yue Qing to notify the herbivorous orcs in the tribe that if they found any new edible plants outside that were not grown in the tribe, they could bring back the plants or seeds and give them to Hong Yun and others to cultivate.
After a while, Lin Xi actually learned from Hongyun that there are now three or four new crops in the experimental field!
The planting task in the tribe was carried out in an orderly manner under the command of Lin Xi and the exploration of the four Hongyuns.
And the progress of breeding is not bad.
However, carnivorous beastmen are still not very enthusiastic about breeding, and it is the herbivorous beastmen who follow Lin Xi to engage in breeding.
Now, standing on the hillside and looking towards the lower part of the tribe, you can see many breeding pens built near sheds or caves.
But most of the animals in these breeding pens are animals such as yellow-haired pigs and curly-haired beasts.
But what is certain is that there are a few gray chickens in almost every breeding circle now!
Lin Xi guessed that it was because the herbivorous beasts remembered what she said, that the four-legged animals could be saved for eating in the winter.
So they are reluctant to eat these animals now, because they are afraid that if they eat one less, there will be nothing to eat when winter comes!
But the gray chickens allow them to eat eggs regularly, which can be considered as an introduction to meat!
