Go to another world to be a priest

Those who can do more work, this sentence is applicable no matter in which time and space.

Since Mu Tuo did a good job, Yining taught him everything he knew, without hiding any secrets.Correspondingly, while Mu Tuo felt grateful, he also felt a heavier burden on his shoulders.

Now, Mu Tuo can basically take care of these things in the field. Unless there is an unknown situation, and after everyone discusses and tests, there is no way to solve it, then the priest will be invited.

These sugar canes have not bloomed since they were planted, nor have they produced anything that looks like fruit.

Mu Tuo even murmured about this, and once asked Yining to come over to see if there was something wrong with him that he hadn't noticed, and he didn't feel relieved until Yining said that this kind of thing would not bear fruit.

Anyway, as long as the priest says it's okay, then it's okay, like potatoes and sweet potatoes, they don't have fruit, but the roots are excellent food.

Although the Mu family is based on the family as the unit of life, the production and labor are a bit like the company in the previous life. Everyone can choose a job to go to work, and the wages are paid according to the amount of labor. The wages can be used to buy daily necessities.

If you choose a job, you can make a comprehensive decision based on your personal strengths and wishes. In most cases, the Mu people are relatively democratic, with only one exception.

That's Payday.

They call the season when a large number of planted crops are ripe as the harvest day. As long as it is this day, all people, except the women and the elderly who take care of the children, the shepherds who are responsible for raising animals, and the patrolling guards who guard the tribe's land, do not need to participate. The people of the tribe must stop all the work at hand and participate in the labor of the harvest day.

This time it was different.

In the past, when harvesting in the past, the priest would order the farm tools to be prepared early on, and the eagle would lead people to prepare all the tools and transport them to the field. In the early stage, everyone was divided into groups according to their own specialties, and the group leader picked up the farm tools needed. and the tasks that need to be completed, and then take the team members to work there.

But this time, everyone including the team leader was at a loss, because the "farm tools" that were transported this time were really strange.

This kind of "farming tool" is made of two thick wooden stakes, about two meters high. In the middle is a gear that the carpenter led several apprentices to carve for a whole week.On one of the stakes, a hole the size of a bowl was dug out in the middle, and a solid crossbar was inserted into the hole, and a rope made of animal skin rope was tied to the end of the crossbar.

These two wooden stakes are as thick as a person's arms, and the carved gears are also quite large. Under the gears, there is something like a circular groove. There are deep and shallow notches carved in the circular groove. I can't understand it. What is it for.

Although it looks huge, the production of this thing is obviously not the most extensive project. A circular pool has been filled with clear water, and the water extends directly from the distant river through a two-meter-wide canal.

There are also dozens of large wooden barrels as high as half a person, piled up next to them.

Next to the barrel, there are many wood chips of unknown purpose. The edges of the wood chips have been specially treated with small grooves.

What's even more strange is still behind, Mu Chu led a group of people, and built ten large stoves beside the field early on, each with a big iron pot on it, and piles of wood were prepared beside it.

Do you want to cook on the spot?In the past, when there was a race against time on the harvest day, everyone was too busy to go home and cook. At that time, the clan arranged for people to prepare and send it to the field. Everyone changed shifts while working, and ate the food in turn.

And the strangest thing came, a dozen shepherds walked over leading a few calves from far away.

Walking in front was a woman in her 30s, named Muluo, with a bright and kind temper, and was very popular in the village.

Someone started laughing: "Sister Muluo, today is not a day for grazing, why did you bring the calf here? Could it be that Brother Atu worked so hard last night that you forgot that today is the harvest day?"

"Fart you! Black monkey, don't talk nonsense if you don't know, of course the priest asked me to come, just wait and see!" Mu Luo scolded viciously, with a blush on his face, and he was angry The dark and thin man glanced at his husband in the crowd out of the corner of his eye, quickly looked away, deliberately raised his head high, and strode forward.

"What did the priest ask her to do?"

"You're not going to kill these calves for dinner?"

"Ah, now that the prey is plentiful, why kill the calf? These guys have such a gentle temper and never run away, but the reproduction is a little slow...does the priest think it's not worth raising them?"

"Yeah, there is only one litter a year, and there is only one, at most two in each litter. If you want me to say, it's okay to kill them, so as not to waste energy taking care of them for so long, and it won't provide much meat." Some people suddenly realized .

The people next to him nodded: "The priest is thinking about the long-term. It is more cost-effective to raise rabbits. There are several litters a year, seven or eight in each litter, and they grow fast."

……

Yi Ning raised his eyebrows straight up, what did he think, in these people's minds, the only purpose of animals is "to be eaten", right?

When everyone was here, Mu Tuo looked at Yining, who smiled encouragingly and nodded.

Mu Tuo took a deep breath, took a step forward, raised his hand and pressed down: "Everyone, be quiet, be quiet."

The noisy crowd subsided slowly, and the people who were chatting and laughing turned their attention to him. Being watched by pairs of familiar eyes, Mu Tuo felt that his back began to sweat, and his heart was beating violently. What should I say, as if the words I had prepared before had all slipped away from my mind, leaving him with a blank head.

"It's okay, take it easy, they are all your people, if you know what kind of person you are, just do what you've prepared."

The priest's peaceful tone sounded, and Mu Tuo was stunned, yes, although there are many people in front of him, they all knew him since childhood, and grew up naked with him, who doesn't know who is a virtue?He's just making a fool of himself, at most he can make them laugh, and it's not like he hasn't laughed at others before.

Thinking about it this way, my heart gradually settled down.

"Today is the harvest day. The harvested crops are these crops that have grown from spring to now, but have not even opened a flower-sugar cane. I know that many people have wondered where this thing can be eaten. To be honest, I also Curious, I secretly picked the leaves and tasted it."

With a coax, a burst of laughter erupted from the crowd.

And the little boy took the opportunity to boo: "Uncle Mu Tuo, is it delicious?"

Mu Tuo smiled, and made a bitter face on purpose: "Bah, it's bitter and hard, you can't eat it at all."

People laughed even more.

"However, today, I will tell everyone how to eat sugarcane, how to harvest it, and what these things are used for..." At this point, Mu Tuo has completely entered the state.

Yi Ning and Mu Kun stood aside and watched, Mu Kun was fine, but Yi Ning let out a sigh of relief: "Oh, it's so difficult, it's really not easy to train a managerial talent."

Mu Kun squeezed his hand: "You did a good job."

Yining looked up at him, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

Since being honest with Mu Kun, Yining no longer needs to hide many things that he wants to do secretly from Mu Kun, but directly explain to him why he wants to do this, what effect he wants to achieve, and what he uses in it. Such a concept, what will the final result look like.

Mu Kun learns quickly, and because he has a better understanding of the environment here, he can often point out the shortcomings of Yining's imagination, and put forward more practical suggestions to make up for it. Lian Yining will pop up from time to time One or two specialized vocabulary can also be understood.

Mu Tuo roughly explained to everyone that the thing made of two wooden sticks is a sugar press, and sugar cane can be eaten raw, and the edible part is its stalk. If it is planted on a large scale like the Mu family , the biggest function of sugarcane is to make sugar.

Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard about making sugar.

The candy extracted from sweet potatoes by the priest has successfully captured the hearts of almost all children.For adults, things like candy are not that attractive, but they are always happy to eat such sweet and pleasant things.

Mu Tuo asked the trained group to come forward and demonstrate to everyone.

Mu Luo led a calf over, and tied the rope on the crossbar to the calf's back. The calf is docile in nature, but when it was tied to its back, it was a little irritable, and it barked twice, and Mu Luo gently comforted it. , touched its neck and ears with hands, and it quickly calmed down.

The young men over there were quick with their hands and feet, swung their big knives and chopped down a dozen sugar cane, and threw them to the people behind; the people behind wore thick gloves, quickly peeled off the leaves and peeled them, and passed them to the third person. the third person holds the sugar cane and runs to the pool filled with clear water, and hands it to the fourth person who has been waiting by the pool for a long time; Next, use a big brush to wash off the dirt and dust on the sugar cane, and pass it to the fifth person; the fifth person ran to the sugar press and handed it to the last person.

The last person put more than ten pieces of sugarcane into the gaps of the teeth at a time. When the wooden basket slapped the calf, the calf began to pull the crossbar and circle in circles. The lever drives the small gear, and the small wheel drives the main part of the sugar press. The sugar press began to squeak and squeak.

Soon, the juice flowed into the round tank around the side, along the outlet, and poured into the large wooden barrel. This is the primary raw material for sugar making-sugar juice.There is a sieve made of cloth on the wooden barrel receiving the juice, which is used to filter out some sundries.

The sugar cane is repeatedly pressed five or six times, until finally no juice comes out, and it is thrown aside.

Afterwards, buckets of sugar juice were lifted to the stove not far away and poured into a cauldron.

The people who had been waiting for a long time started the fire, and it didn't take long before the sugar juice began to bubbly and bubbly, and the sweet aroma permeated the air. The sweet fragrance attracted everyone to come over, but because the patriarch and the priests were there, they didn't dare to be presumptuous, and stood by the side, sucking their fingers.

After burning for about two hours, the sugar juice slowly turned into syrup.

At this time, the sugar-making young man began to build a sugar-making formwork in the open space next to him. The small wooden pieces just now were arranged in order of size and turned into small square grids, which were woven by reeds. on the mat.

After the syrup is boiled, it is poured into the small grid on the mat. The syrup slowly solidifies and hardens in the air, and finally becomes square brown sugar.

Before the brown sugar was completely hardened, a young man picked some up with his fingers, licked it, and screamed, but his eyes were full of smiles.
