Mu Feng was overjoyed to discover the yellow potato.
If the discovery of wheat and corn laid the foundation for Jiang's agricultural development, then the discovery of yellow potatoes undoubtedly accelerated the development of Jiang's family.
Because the per-mu yield of wheat and corn is no more than a few hundred thousand kilograms, it must be planted in a large area to support a large population.
But the yellow potato is different. Like the sweet potato, the yellow potato can be planted in spring and summer. The yield per mu is about 4,000 catties, and the high one can even reach 6,000 or 7,000 catties.
This kind of output can definitely support more population without calculating combat power!
Especially now that the Jiang family is building the city wall, once it is built, it will get a large area of protected planting land. These land are really spread out to grow yellow potatoes. Even if you don't go out to hunt, you don't have to worry about famine!
And looking at the size of these yellow potatoes, they are already not small.
Once the vines are cut for him and planted back to the tribe, and intensive cultivation, three or four months later, after the autumn harvest, you can harvest more and bigger yellow potatoes!
Especially in this large open area, there are so many yellow potato seedlings growing, and there is an area of 12 acres of land. Even if the yield is low, tens of thousands of kilograms of yellow potatoes can be harvested.
In this way, not to mention feeding the people in the current clan, even if there are so many people again, it will not be a problem!
But he looked around and hesitated again.
That is to say, these wild boars are still growing well in this area. If they really want to get the tribe back, they must provide corresponding food.
"It's possible to bring these wild boars back to the clan, and then let people come here to dig yellow potatoes." Mu Feng was a little tangled, "But that would be labor-intensive and put the clan at risk."
After all, what happened last night has just passed.
He hesitated.
At this time, Mingguang reminded Mu Feng: "Great Chief, those wild boars are going back!"
Mu Feng shook his head: "Don't worry about them, we already know where they are now anyway!"
"Then what are we doing now?" Mingguang asked.
"Now dig some of these yellow potatoes, the most important thing is to get some more of this vine back!"
"Do you want to connect the roots?"
"No, just get the vine back and dip it in water so that it doesn't dry!"
"What are these things in the ground? I just ate it and it tasted good!"
"Yeah. This is called yellow potato. It can be eaten. It can be eaten raw, roasted, or boiled. Keep it well. In the future, this will be the most important food for my Jiang family to feed more people!"
Mingguang couldn't help being shocked and looked excited: "Feed more people!"
"Yeah!" Mu Feng nodded, "We can plant these yellow potatoes when we go back."
"What about those wild boars?" Mingguang asked again.
Mu Feng frowned, motioning Mingguang to dig up the yellow potatoes first, and then think about it for himself.
So Mingguang beckoned the thirty people to come forward and start digging sweet potatoes and fetching seedlings.
Contrary to Mu Feng's expectations, the armored earth dragon was actually very interested in the dug up sweet potatoes. up.
As for Hu Leibao, it seems that because he ate too many poisonous snakes last night, he just smelled it and vomited after two bites.
I don't know if it's because it doesn't taste good, or if it has mud on it.
It was also the first time for Mingguang and the others to come into contact with yellow potatoes, and it was not a pity for the armored earth dragon to eat this thing. Anyway, there are so many in this large piece!
Mu Feng is now in a dilemma.
On the one hand, he felt that it was not a big problem to get these wild boars back, after all, there was Bajie.
But it must be a problem to raise so many wild boars after going back - people from the Jiang clan need to come here often to bring yellow potatoes back, and there may be unknown dangers along the way.
And he couldn't bring the beasts like the armored earth dragon and the thunder leopard every time.
After thinking about it, he decided not to take this group of wild boars back for the time being. Anyway, in such a large group, in this deep mountain and old forest, no tribe can have monkeys to explore the way like himself.
No one will be able to get here as well as himself.
Another point is that he has eight precepts. As long as the goods are there, it will only take minutes to take down this group of wild boars.
The most important thing is that with such a large group of wild boars, there are no natural enemies in this forest that can threaten their safety, otherwise their group would not have grown to such a large extent.
They eat and drink here, and they can help Mu Feng watch such a large piece of yellow potato.
After making up his mind, Mu Feng said directly to Mingguang, "Hurry up and dig up the yellow potatoes and make the seedlings, let's go back to the tribe!"
"Where's the wild boar king?" Mingguang reminded.
"Of course, take it back!" Mu Feng replied.
In fact, he was a little uneasy about putting Bajie here, after all, this guy has not been tamed for a long time. He was afraid that after putting it here for a while, it would return to the wild again, and it would be difficult to catch it at that time!
Especially the absurd scene at the wild boar gathering place just now made Mu Feng grit his teeth with hatred even thinking about it.
Mu Feng and the others quickly collected yellow potato seedlings and yellow potatoes, and thirty mounts. Although there were not many, there were at least one or two thousand kilograms of yellow potatoes and one thousand kilograms of yellow potato seedlings.
After experiencing the marriage of the new Jiang clan, Mingguang's orders for Mu Feng are now unswervingly implemented, and he dare not make any compromises.
Buckle and question.
After they packed up, they took a direct detour to the vicinity of the wild boar herd.
Mu Feng gave a whistle to the wild boars through the trees - of course, it was different from the Hulei Leopard.
After blowing the whistle, Mu Feng hid in the trees and looked at Bajie among the wild boars.
He had already made up his mind, if Bajie didn't dare to come out and follow him, he would definitely try his best to catch these wild boars when he turned around. The first thing he did after catching Bajie was to click it.
But Bajie's reaction was destined to "disappoint" him.
This guy neither ignored his whistle nor ran over immediately.
Instead, Yi Gulu got up from the mud, rushed to the old wild boar king who had been defeated by him, and called it "lulu".
The depressed "Pharaoh" got up after hearing what Bajie "explained", and hurriedly communicated with Bajie "Lulu".
Mu Feng pays close attention to Bajie's actions, so he is always "listening" to what he has to say with advanced animal taming techniques.
Bajie: A few of them are mine, you have to dare to touch them, wait for me to come back and kill you!
When he said this, Bajie even roared at the wild boars.
Soon seven or eight wild boars ran out of the wild boar herd, all of them looking dirty, clearly all sows.
Mu Feng's expression was strange, and he knew in his heart that these were Bajie's "loved concubines". I was afraid that in Bajie's eyes, these wild boars would definitely be beautiful, even nationalistic.
"Do pigs also have aesthetics?" Mu Feng had a strange thought in his heart, "Otherwise, why did he single out these few and not the other wild boars? Or is this guy's strength not allowed? Cough..."
Mu Feng quickly stopped this strange thought and continued to listen to Bajie's earnest advice: If you dare to touch them, I will kill you when I come back!
Mu Feng was almost speechless, he never thought that pigs also have "parting words"!
But it's weird, but it's good that Bajie planned to go with him, so he didn't have the embarrassment to urge so "ruthlessly" - can't keep all the cubs as ruthless as him?
"In that case, wouldn't my Jiang family have another wild boar army?" Mu Feng grinned and laughed strangely, "How wonderful!"
