I'm bad and I'm hitting a wall, primitive life requires hard work

"Iwaya did a great job!" Nishi Ichiki smiled and rubbed Iwaya's little head, praising her.

Yan Ya grinned, and two shallow dimples were faintly visible on her cheeks.

"Hey! Does Yan Ya have any dried fish to eat today?" She was wearing a linen vest dress, one hand tightly grasping a piece of cut potato, and the other hand gently shaking Nishi Ichiki's arm.

Cute mouse!

"Of course, I guarantee we'll fry a big pot! We can't even finish all the small rock sprouts." Nimei sat on a straw mat nearby, deftly moving the animal bone needle in his hand through the linen, and joked with a smile on his lips.

This morning, Wu Xiqi came to her with four pieces of linen and said that he wanted to make some linen vests for the children in the tribe. She agreed immediately.

Linen is much more comfortable than animal skins.

Thinking that her child would also be able to wear soft linen clothes in the future, Nimei's eyes were filled with tenderness.

After getting the answer she wanted, Yan Ya smiled happily. Her laughter was clear and pleasant, and her eyes were like little crescent moons.

"Well... Yan Ya will reluctantly share some with Brother Ste and the others!" She pouted, glanced at the people who were busy cutting potatoes, and generously shared her reward.

"Xiao Yanya is such a good boy." Nimei was happy.

"Thank you so much, Yan Ya, it's a blessing for me to have you!" Ste raised his head and responded with a playful smile.

Yanya raised her chin proudly, put her hands on her hips and said, "Of course, Yanya is the best!"

“Hahaha——” Nishi Ichisu also laughed.

The sun shone softly on the people who were talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was extremely warm.

Perhaps this is the happiness hidden in the ordinary.

After Nishi Ichisu put the cut potatoes into the basket, he twisted his stiff neck and turned his gaze towards the direction of the stream.

These tubers are not used for direct planting, but for germination.

Fresh potatoes cannot be planted directly. Their good storage resistance means that they will take a long time to germinate naturally, and you need to wait about 20 days.

The weather will be hot by then, which will greatly reduce the survival rate of potato sprouts.

Therefore, artificial germination is necessary as soon as possible.

Fortunately, the process is not complicated. I saw my grandfather do it when I was a child: just dry the potatoes for a few days, then cut them into even-sized tubers; spread a layer of grass; cover with a layer of soil; sprinkle some water; finally, seal it with a wooden jar, and you will see green sprouts after a few days.

The wooden jar is made by the tribesmen by hollowing out the center of a thick tree trunk. It is polished very smoothly and can be sealed by tightening the lid.

During the time away from the Yanyuan tribe, the tribesmen each performed their duties and did many things in an orderly manner.

They are very hardworking.

The day before yesterday, after he and Yan Luo helped the limping Arthur back to the tribe, Wu Yu gave Arthur some simple treatment and told him not to walk around for the time being.

Even so, Arthur still stubbornly wanted to continue clearing the land. Nishi Ichisu looked at his swollen feet and refused without hesitation.

It will definitely delay progress, but there is nothing we can do about it.

I could only console myself by saying, "I have to germinate the seeds anyway, so it doesn't matter if I slow down the pace of clearing the land a bit."

After burning the wasteland, it seemed that this body had reached its limit, so it had to return to the cave to rest early.

The next day, I went to the wasteland and saw

The whole person was stunned.

The wasteland burned by the raging fire has been completely turned over. The originally hard clods of earth have been crushed into tiny particles. The land has become soft and has begun to take shape as farmland.

"This was dug by the clan leader and the hunting team last night." Yan Luo explained on the side.

Nishi Ichiki squatted down, stretched out his fingers, and gently stroked the soft soil.

It turned out that Chen Qi had already noticed everything.

After hurriedly finishing his food, he led a few warriors to light a fire near the wasteland.

With the help of the flickering firelight, they used all the stone tools in the tribe to plow the scorched wasteland, and only returned to the cave at dawn, dragging their exhausted bodies.

The warriors of the tribe are strong and have an amazing appetite, so they need to rely on constant hunting to maintain their physical strength so that they can better protect the tribe and carry out hunting activities to provide sufficient food for the tribe members.

Hunting in the primeval forest is extremely difficult, so the hunting team always goes out early in the morning and returns at dusk, just like 007, working all year round.

The first round of turning the soil is the most tiring.

They still gritted their teeth, endured the fatigue, and silently completed this extra "work".

Hard work does not necessarily lead to success.

But at this moment, Xi Yiqi hoped that nature would give them rewards that would match their efforts.

"Sister Xiqi, the potatoes have been cut!" Xiao Yanya pulled the animal skin on Xiqi's body, his wet eyes full of anticipation.

Putting away the messy thoughts in his mind, he smiled and took Yanya's hand and walked forward: "Okay, let's go fry some dried fish!"

"Great!" Yan Ya cheered.

After walking a few steps, Nishi Ichisu turned around, blinked at the children who were still sitting there, and deliberately stretched out his voice and said, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and follow us! Whoever helps light the fire first will get an extra bowl of dried fish!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ster's eyes lit up and he jumped up from the mat quickly. His movements were so agile! Then, with a few standard Olympic athlete-style strides, he jumped over the basket, jumped over the straw mat, and rushed to the earthen stove.

He picked up the flint beside him and lit the fire in a few strokes.

When it comes to eating, Ster has always spared no effort!

This set of smooth movements left Nishi Ichiki stunned.

The Flash Σ(⊙▽⊙“!

If this happened in modern times, he would probably be a student with sports expertise!

"Ah! Damn it!"

"How come you run so fast!"

"I want another bowl of dried fish, too!"

The few people who were a step late wailed in frustration.

Stein whistled while leaning against the earthen stove with a smug look on his face.

This earthen stove, which is strong enough to steadily hold up a large stone pot, is newly built.

Who is the hero?

That could only be the group of young boys and girls in front of me.

Before leaving the tribe, I asked them to collect some stones and place them in the open space of the tribe, and they did it very carefully.

Sure enough, when we returned to the tribe, we saw that the open space was filled with stones of all sizes, far exceeding the demand.

He decided not to waste any more time and the next night after returning, he took a few people and built a clay stove with mud.

The production process went exceptionally smoothly!

That night, I rewarded each of them with a bowl of dried fish!

Just as Nishi Ichiki was looking at the earthen stove with satisfaction, Youxi came over.

Nimei took the dried fish from Youxi's hand with a smile, and walked to the stone pot with her slightly bulging belly and her hands on her waist.

The frozen oil in the pot had already melted, and she skillfully fried the dried fish.

The fragrance filled the air, and Ste, who was smelling it, took a sip of his breath.

Time passed quietly, and Nimei no longer felt nauseous because of the smell of oil smoke.

She stroked her belly with a gentle gaze, recalling Xi Xi's words: "The cub inside loves you, and must be a well-behaved child."

The dried fish is fried.

Ste held the wooden bowl, picked up the dried fish with his hands, and ate them one by one, his mouth full of grease.

"Eh, dirty." Yan Ya frowned in disgust, and clumsily picked up the chopsticks, trying to pick up the dried fish and put it into his mouth.

Sister Xiqi said that we should use chopsticks to eat!

Looking at Iwaya's slightly clumsy and cute appearance, Nishi Ichisu raised the corner of his mouth slightly and was about to step forward to correct her way of holding chopsticks.

“Wu Xiqi——!”

"Look quickly and see if this is what you said!" A hurried shout suddenly sounded from behind.

Turn around and look.
