The temporary residence arranged by the Mountain Fire Tribe for the Red Horse Tribe was not far away. It was just at the border of the forest in front of the tribe and could be seen at a glance when standing on the hillside of the tribe.
Honglu and Hongjing have already taken the orcs of the Red Horse Tribe to the forest to build thatched huts where they will temporarily live for the next few days!
After asking the witch, Lin Xi found out that the reason why they were asked to stay not far away while preparing prey was to allow the orcs in the tribe to have some time to get to know the orcs of the Red Horse Tribe.
It is also to observe the character of the Red Horse orcs.
After hearing this, Lin Xi pursed her lips in understanding.
The orcs' way of doing things would always surprise her suddenly at some point!
But after thinking about it, Lin Xi felt that it was not so much the orcs' ideas that were surprising, but rather her ideas, which sometimes carried with them the arrogance of a human towards orcs.
It's like labeling the orcs as barbaric and primitive!
But why can't the orcs have such delicate and meticulous thoughts?
The arrival of the Red Horse Tribe made the tribe lively for a while.
As time goes by, the temperature gradually rises, and green begins to grow on the bare hillsides.
Lin Xi felt that it was time to start sowing!
During the grain storage period last winter, Lin Xi had already stored up a lot of seeds. Some of them she found herself, and some were given to her by the orcs. She roughly remembered the numbers.
She planned to plant the seeds she collected in her own small vegetable garden, and use the seeds found by the orcs in the tribe's experimental fields.
Lin Xi now has nearly twenty kinds of seeds in stock, including vegetables, staple foods, condiments and fruits. She decided to try planting a little of each except fruits.
The reason why we don’t grow fruits is that fruits are not necessary food now and can be found in the forest.
Before officially starting to sow seeds, Lin Xi first grew some seedlings with seeds himself.
The seedlings she grew were all crops like stinky fruit and sour fruit, which had small seeds but needed to be planted individually.
Because if you sow seeds directly without raising seedlings in advance, when these crops grow up, you will have to pull out some of the short seedlings to make room for the large seedlings to grow, which will be a waste of seeds!
If the seedlings are grown in advance and then planted, this problem will not occur.
Two days before starting to sow, Lin Xi first opened the windmill's water channel and watered the field.
It hasn't rained in the forest recently, so the soil isn't moist enough.
After watering, Lin Xi waited for two more days. When he felt that the soil moisture was about right, he went to the next door to find Bai Nu:
"Chief Bai Nu, I plan to start sowing today, but I need a few orcs to help!"
When Bai Nu heard this, he immediately stopped what he was doing!
He looked at Lin Xi expectantly with his tiger eyes: "How many orcs do you need? I'll ask Cang Ju to find them."
Lin Xi thought for a moment, and finally said, "About ten."
Bai Nu immediately agreed when he heard it: "Okay, then I'll let them finish their breakfast and go to your place."
Lin Xi heard this, but shook his head: "No, let them go directly to that piece of land, and I will go directly there too."
As soon as the news that Sage Linxi was going to start sowing spread, not only the orcs in the tribe, but even the orcs from the Red Horse Tribe came to watch!
The orcs of the Red Horse Tribe already know what the Mountain Fire Tribe is doing with planting!
When they first found out, they were almost as shocked as the orcs from the Mountain Fire Tribe when they learned the news!
They could never imagine that orcs could actually produce food that grew in the forest!
Don’t those just grow out of the ground themselves?
At this time, the orcs of the Shanhuo Tribe, who had already listened to Lin Xi's popular science lectures on planting, inexplicably felt a sense of superiority.
Even when they went out hunting every day and met the orcs from the Red Horse Tribe, the orcs from the Mountain Fire Tribe couldn't help but look proud!
Lin Xi knew nothing about this; she was still immersed in thinking about planting methods.
Planting things does not mean just burying the seeds in the soil and waiting for them to grow. Different seeds have different planting methods!
Corn, purple fruit, black worm fruit, and stinky fruit are all plants that grow individually.
When planting, you need to sow the seeds in a straight line, leaving a certain growing distance between each seed.
Lin Xi first demonstrated to the orcs who came to help using corn seeds.
She first used a hoe to dig small shallow pits in a straight line on the ground, leaving an arm's length between each pit.
After digging the hole, water the soil first, and then put the seeds in the hole.
Lin Xi still remembers that when he was a child, his family planted corn. They would put two or three seeds in a hole. After the seedlings emerged, they would pull out the small seedlings and leave the large seedlings to grow, which was considered to be selecting the best ones.
But now she had very few seeds in her hand, so she wanted to grow as many seeds as possible, and she didn't dare to waste any of them.
After sowing the seeds, she filled the soil back to cover the seeds, and the soil gathered on both sides formed a ridge above the row of seeds that was higher than the horizon.
Lin Xi stepped lightly on the ridges and said to the orcs who were learning nearby, "Don't step too hard, and when digging holes for the purple fruits, the spacing can be a little further apart."
Purple fruit is a crop that bears fruit underground. A purple fruit seedling can produce up to ten to fourteen or fifteen purple fruits.
Because there are more fruits in the soil, they take up more space, and too close a distance will affect the results and the size of the fruits.
Therefore, the seedlings of each purple fruit tree should be spaced farther apart.
After several orcs began to bury seeds according to her movements, Lin Xi stood aside and watched for a while. When she didn't find any problems, she led the remaining orcs to the field next door.
The remaining vegetable seeds are basically small seeds, such as sweetleaf grass, red grass, rolling grass, and green onion seeds. They are all directly dug into furrows in the ground, and then the vegetable seeds are evenly scattered and buried according to the classification.
And the last ones are the seedlings that were cultivated in advance.
In order to save trouble, Lin Xi still directly dug out ridges, and then put the water from the canal into the ridges to wet the soil.
Then she spaced the seedlings half a arm's length apart, pressed the roots into the soft soil, and finally covered them with soil.
She looked at the three remaining orcs around her and said, "That's it. When walking in the fields, remember not to step on the ridges, but in the ditches below."
She waited until a few orcs expressed their understanding before she walked back to the field.
Because there was not much land and the orcs were fast, ten acres of land were quickly sown in less than one morning.
Because they were worried, Lin Xi, Wu Chen and Wu discussed and decided to build a guard tower at the four corners of the land and send warriors from the tribe to watch over it.
But asking someone to guard the tribe didn't mean she was worried about the orcs in the tribe.
The orcs are so looking forward to the results of the planting that they will definitely not come to cause trouble.
What Lin Xi was worried about was that animals in the forest would run in. After all, these crops were food for some animals.
