I'm involved in poverty alleviation in a primitive tribe.

Since the boiled fish wasn't enough, I added some sliced ​​meat to make boiled sliced ​​meat.

This pot of boiled meat slices is only for the warriors to eat. The tribe's only fresh meat now is from the strange-boned beasts. Ordinary people's bodies cannot withstand the energy of the beast meat, so they can only eat a few slices.

After eating boiled sliced ​​pork, one soldier exclaimed, "I haven't felt this comfortable in a long time." The other soldiers all agreed.

In the past, hunting teams would occasionally bring back one or two strange, skeletal beasts, but most of the time, they needed to hunt ordinary wild beasts to meet the tribe's needs.

While these beasts are also powerful and aggressive, their flesh and energy content are far inferior to those of the alien skeletal monsters. The warriors of the tribe need much more energy to maintain their health and fighting ability.

After eating and drinking her fill, Jiang Ning went to deal with the saplings she had brought back.

When digging, the soil around the roots of the saplings was dug out together, and they were wrapped with large leaves. To ensure that the saplings could survive, Jiang Ning also watered them to keep the soil moist.

Jiang Ning carefully inspected each sapling and was satisfied to find that they were all in good condition.

I found a basket, put the saplings inside, and picked up a small hoe—the kind used by the harvesting team. Sometimes we need to dig up the underground tubers of plants, and we have to be careful not to break them; a small hoe is more convenient for that.

Jiang Ning summoned Bai Ya, who now possessed combat abilities and could finally freely enter and leave the tribe. Bai Ya carried her out of the tribe and arrived at the banks of the Tianlang River, where the tribe cultivated land.

The Tianlang River is incredibly beautiful in spring, with crystal-clear, shimmering water. It resembles a silver ribbon, cleverly connecting the scenery on both banks.

The riverbank was covered with all sorts of unnamed wildflowers, thriving in the sunlight. They swayed gently in the breeze, as if showing off their beauty.

These flowers, in various colors, intertwine and add a vibrant touch to the entire riverbank.

Above the riverbank are fields cultivated by the tribe; the soil is fertile and the sun shines brightly, making it an ideal place for planting.

As per Jiang Ning's request, these fields were divided into neat, square plots.

The fields closest to the village are planted with sweet potatoes. Many new leaves have already sprouted in this sweet potato field. The mustard greens planted in the fall have been harvested, and new sweet potatoes have now been planted.

Yam beans are planted next to the sweet potato field.

These yam vines were dug up from the mountains and transplanted directly into the tribe's fields.

To help the yam beans grow better, the tribe members also cut down a lot of tree branches to make supports for the yam beans to climb, as Jiang Ning had requested.

These supports are arranged very neatly, like small hills, standing in the field, with yam vines climbing on them, growing very well.

Continuing on, Jiang Ning saw red finger fruit trees planted in the ground. These red finger fruit trees are perennial plants; once planted, they will continue to bear fruit over the years.

To ensure that the red finger fruit trees have enough space to grow, the distance between the trees is quite large, and the hardworking tribespeople have also planted some sweet potatoes in these open spaces.

Jiang Ning observed carefully and found that the sweet potatoes were growing very well. Unaffected by the red finger fruit trees, the sweet potato leaves were lush and green, and the vines covered the ground, seemingly telling people that they were growing vigorously.

Jiang Ning marveled at the vibrant life of the field, her heart filled with anticipation for the future harvest.

From the fields along the riverbank to the river itself, vast fields of elephant ear taro are planted. Elephant ear taro thrives in water, requiring ample moisture and a humid environment, which is ideal for their growth.

The leaves of the elephant ear taro are broad and long, resembling elephant ears, hence its name. It has a smooth, tender texture and a delicious flavor, and is now an important food source for the tribe.

This taro field was planted using taro seeds left over from last year. Now it has just sprouted, and the tender green leaves are poking their heads out of the soil, like elephant ears swaying, showing vigorous vitality.

Jiang Ning squatted down and carefully observed the taro plants. She found that their stems and leaves had grown very thick, indicating that they had absorbed sufficient nutrients and water.

Baiya lowered its head and gently touched the taro seedlings with its nose. Its big eyes sparkled with curiosity and interest, as if it were also admiring these tender green lives.

Some tribesmen were carrying wooden buckets and watering and fertilizing the plants in the field.

Jiang Ning took out a hoe and dug several holes in the wasteland next to the field. Then, she carefully unwrapped the leaves covering the saplings, revealing the soil covering the roots.

The roots of the saplings were still very moist. Jiang Ning carefully planted the saplings in the holes and then filled them with soil. She gently pressed the soil down with her hands and then watered them.

Baiya also joined in the tree-planting effort, using its claws to help dig holes and fill them with soil. Although its movements were somewhat clumsy, it was very fast.

Its claws were very sharp, and the soil here was very loose, so Baiya dug the hole much faster than Jiang Ning.

With the combined efforts of the man and the wolf, tender green saplings quickly sprouted on the barren land. Looking at these newly grown trees, Jiang Ning's heart was filled with hope and anticipation.

In the future, the tribe will have more and more food, and life will get better and better.

It takes two or three years for a pepper tree to bear fruit, and even longer for a star anise tree. It seems we need to find some that are older.

Jiang Ning jumped onto Bai Ya's back and asked him to take her to see the lotus pond. The lotus pond was right next to the elephant ear taro, and the lotus leaves hadn't grown yet. Fu Rong said that this was normal.

This winter, the tribe has come to accept eating fish, and the demand for fish is quite high. It's also inconvenient to go to the Tianlang River to catch fish every time.

Jiang Ning wanted to try raising fish. Before the hunting team set off, he instructed his people to expand the lotus pond and dig a canal from the Tianlang River to bring fresh water into the lotus pond. Now, people occasionally catch some fish from the Tianlang River and put them in. The lotus pond is not big, so there is no need to catch too many.

There's not much food available, so I can only throw in some aquatic plants, and scraps of food that I don't usually need. I'll try it out first and figure it out gradually.

The system does provide many methods for making feed, but unfortunately, it's impossible to do anything under the current conditions.

The main purpose of this lotus pond now is to temporarily raise fish. Just like Huoyun did this morning, soldiers with free time will go to the Tianlang River to catch fish and then put them in the lotus pond to raise temporarily. This way, when they need to eat fish, they can easily obtain fresh fish.

Having some free time today, Jiang Ning followed the white wolf around the neighborhood, hoping to find something new.
