After eating the corn, Mu Feng didn't need to explain more, Mingguang and Lihu already understood the usefulness of corn.
Li Hu said brightly, "Chief, I think you still have so many corn seeds here, why don't we plant another piece of corn right away, then we will have more corn to eat!"
Mu Feng smiled and shook his head: "These corn kernels are no longer suitable for seeds!"
"Why?" Li Hu asked, "Didn't you keep these corn kernels as seeds?"
"No need now!" Mu Feng said with a smile, "These corn kernels are too small, and the ears of corn grown as seeds are also small. You can see that our newly planted corn kernels are very large. We use them as seeds, and we plant them. The corn will be bigger!"
"That's it!" Lihu still didn't understand, "Why will there be big corn in the future when the corn kernel is bigger?"
Mu Feng was a little speechless, how would he explain "hereditary" to Mingguang?
Did he tell him directly, "A dragon gives birth to a dragon, a phoenix gives birth to a phoenix, and a mouse's child can make a hole?"
Or "plant melons, sow melons, and sow beans, and get beans"?
However, it seemed that none of the statements could be understood by Lihu. He scratched his head and was still organizing vocabulary.
But this time Mingguang rescued him. His scholar, Lihu, knocked Lihu on his attitude just now: "The chief said to do it, you just do it, so much nonsense!"
"Ha!" Mu Feng was so happy that he almost didn't laugh out loud.
This time it was Lihu's turn to be embarrassed, he scratched his head and said, "Yes!"
Seeing that this problem was solved by himself, Mu Feng nodded seriously and said, "Okay, that's it, the corn on the second floor of the protective wall can be eaten now. But be careful not to break the piece near the foot of Nanshan Mountain, until they are completely When it's ripe, break it off and save the seeds!"
"As for other places, eat as much as you want, and don't eat it!"
"What if that slice is not enough?" Li Hu asked.
"If you don't have enough to eat, you have to leave a piece as a seed!" Mu Feng said solemnly, "If you leave enough seeds, you can make another piece of land in the west, and use it to grow corn!"
"Such a large area, the hunting team does not participate in labor, I am afraid that our clansmen will be too busy!" Li Hu said worriedly.
"Isn't there any slaves?" Mu Feng said coldly, "I arrest them just for work. I don't need them at this time. When do I plan to use them?"
"But aren't they going to build a protective wall around the perimeter?" Lihu asked again.
"Leave the protective wall in advance!" Mu Feng said in a deep voice, "Let them dig out the ground for me first, it's important to plant the ground!"
"But in that case, the slaves will have no protection..." Lihu hesitated.
"They are just slaves!" Mu Feng raised his eyes and said, "Only if our Jiang clan lives better, they will be alive! Otherwise, because they attacked us first, they would have already died!"
"I understand!" Lihu nodded solemnly.
"Okay!" Mu Feng nodded again and said, "After breaking the corn, don't throw the stalks away, chop them up and send them to the sheep pen to feed the sheep!"
"Yes!"
"In addition, arrange some people in the tribe who can work but have nothing to do for the time being, and let them go to the back mountain.
Peel the bark. "Mu Feng ordered.
"Peeling the bark?" The three of them were puzzled.
Lihu asked, "Great Chief, what are you doing with the bark?"
"Rope!" Mu Feng organized and simplified it as much as possible, "Hanshu told me that animal tendons are not enough, but now more and more tribes need ropes, and animal tendons alone are not enough. Then use paper mulberry. Skin instead!"
"But how can the tree bark replace the animal tendons? The length and toughness are not enough." Mingguang also said at this time.
"The bark is peeled off and dried first, scraped off the outer skin, soaked in water, rubbed repeatedly, dried in the sun, and then rubbed into a rope using the method of rubbing animal tendons and ropes."
"It's like this... is it okay?" Mingguang looked at Lihu, and then the two nodded at Mufeng, "Yes!"
Because Mu Feng will not aimlessly, what he said can be done has not yet been done!
"Yeah, definitely!" Mu Feng said with a smile, "Now use the bark of mulberry to rub the rope, and I will go out soon to see if I can find hemp crops."
"Linen?" Lihu suddenly thought that when he came back the day before yesterday, Mingguang told him excitedly: The Great Chief wants to make linen clothes for everyone in the tribe.
Now that Mu Feng mentions this matter again, does it mean that the people of the horse tribe can wear sackcloth clothes?
"Head Chief, what does the hemp crop look like?" Lihu became excited, "If you tell us, we will go out to find it. If there are many people, we will find it very likely!"
Mu Feng's eyes lit up, but he agreed with what Li Hu said. He went out to look for it alone, and it was definitely not as fast as many people looking for it.
The key is that the clansmen do not know ramie, how can he describe the appearance of ramie to the clansmen?
"If only I could draw on paper!" Mu Feng thought to himself.
Although I am not a painter, I still have basic painting skills, and it is not a problem to draw a pair of ramie.
The key is that now he doesn't even have paper, how can this be good?
"You can only try it first!" He thought for a while and described to the two of them, "The leaves of ramie are a bit like paper mulberry leaves, but not as big as paper mulberry leaves, and the leaves are serrated!"
"Sawtooth?" Two people, look at me,
I look at you, puzzled.
Mu Feng patted his head: "My brain!"
Saying that, he picked up a branch and drew it on the ground.
First the ramie leaves, then the ramie rhizomes.
Even the flowers and fruits of ramie are roughly a few strokes, which is convenient for the two of them to understand.
Lihu and Mingguang, including Changning, felt very magical when they watched Mu Feng draw ramie strokes stroke by stroke.
In their opinion, the Great Chief can now draw the appearance of ramie with branches, which is no different from the legendary god.
"Great Chief, I seem to have seen such a thing!" Mingguang scratched his head and said, "But I can't think of where I've seen it now."
"Uh..." Mu Feng was a little speechless, this Mingguang's situation was the same as that of many people.
When I saw it, I felt very familiar, but I really wanted to think about it, but I couldn't tell why.
Mu Feng frowned and thought about it carefully before he said: "Ramie generally grows in valleys and on the edge of woods.
up or on a grassy slope! "
"Valley, forest edge?"
Mufeng has no choice but to popularize it again: "Our tribe is located in the valley between two mountains or between three mountains. But we don't have it here, so go to the edge of the forest or the grassy slope! The edge of the forest is the edge of the jungle, the area where it intersects with the grassland. A relatively gentle hillside, mostly green grass..."
Mingguang listened, frowned and recalled carefully, after a while his eyes suddenly lit up: "I remember!"
