Chapter 838 Plan to Build a New Branch Tribe (3 in 1)

In the past, Han Cheng may not have a clear understanding of the growth habits of these two vegetables, cabbage and radish, but after several years of planting by the tribe, some people who often deal with these vegetables, including him, have a sense of this. gained a deep understanding.

It was precisely because of this that Wu and Bugs Bunny seemed so flustered after discovering the situation here this morning.

Compared with the initial period, the cabbage, which is obviously different from ordinary rapeseed, is already an important vegetable when the tribe spends the winter.

Whether you put it in the hot pot and cook it, or split it in half from the middle, cut it into a width of two or three centimeters, and stew it with pork or other meat, it is very delicious. .

Now, when it is not fully grown, it suddenly encounters such a frost, and the people in the tribe are worried about it.

"After the frost subsides for a while, wrap up the heads of these cabbages and take a long look.

If the weather warms up again in a few days, these cabbages can grow again.

Even if it is not as good as before, it can become a lot more real.

If the weather still doesn't improve, then pull out a large batch and store them in the cabbage cellar. "

Facing such weather, Han Cheng has no good way to think of under the current circumstances.

If it is in later generations, you can use this artifact of growing off-season vegetables in plastic greenhouses.

Some extravagant ones can also build pure glass greenhouses.

At worst, you can find some colorful plastic bags, put one on the head of a Chinese cabbage, and put a hat on them to keep warm.

But now, Han Cheng can only make such an arrangement. Whether it can be done or how much production will be reduced depends on God's face.

The most troublesome thing is actually not the cabbage, but the radishes whose stalks and leaves are frozen as if they were scalded by the sudden frost.

Even if it is ignored, if the factor of eating cabbage is not considered, let the cabbage grow in the ground by itself, it can still withstand the severe cold.

It's just that the leaves outside will be ruined.

But when spring comes,

They can also pull out stiles, like rapeseed, bloom small yellow flowers, and then bear seeds, so that the inheritance will not be broken.

But the radish will not become. If the weather is cold enough, the whole radish will be frozen and destroyed, so that even the chance to save the seeds will not be left.

Radishes and cabbage are two miraculous vegetables for the winter. After several years of selection and cultivation, they have improved a lot compared to before. If they are all frozen to death and cannot keep their seeds, it will be a real loss.

What happened today also reminded Han Cheng, that is, when planting things in the future, more seeds must be left, and they will not be planted all at once.

In this way, even if any of the Jizi really failed to harvest, there would not be no seeds left.

"After waiting for a while, I shoveled some more soil and covered the exposed part of the radish with soil.

Then clean out the radish cellar, pull out a batch of radishes, put them into the radish cellar, pile them together, and cover the outer layer with sand. "

Han Cheng looked at the radish beaten by Shuang, and after thinking for a while, he spoke.

The radish cellar is underground, relying on the ground temperature, the inside is much warmer than the outside.

Before these radishes are completely damaged by frost, pull out a batch and put them in the radish cellar to prevent the radishes from being damaged by freezing.

After the spring of the next year, these stored radishes are transferred out and planted again, and new shoots will grow from the radishes, and they will bloom and bear fruit.

At this time, the radishes were obviously not yet ready to be pulled out of the ground and stored in a cellar, but in order to be able to leave some radish seeds, so as not to let the radish die in the tribe all at once, it could only be such an insurance first.

After two days, the weather will get better again, and these radishes will be wasted if they are wasted, but if the weather doesn't get better, this kind of operation is very important.

"It's okay, even if the production of these vegetables is reduced, we are not afraid. Our tribe has a lot of food, and we can survive the winter without eating radishes and cabbage. Don't forget that our tribe has lotus roots, so we can eat them in winter."

Han Cheng saw that everyone's emotions were not very high, and they were all feeling uncomfortable for the upcoming production reduction, so he smiled and comforted everyone.

The current food composition in the tribe is very rich, and the Chinese New Year is the same without radishes and cabbage.

With food in hand, speaking and doing things is such a hard spirit.

With what Han Cheng said, the haze in Wu's and the others' hearts disappeared a lot.

After eating in the morning, the people in the tribe got busy.

Some people went to the field ridges and other places around the tribe to pluck the hair grass, and then twisted the thatch a little bit to make rough grass ropes, which were used to tie the cabbage and help the cabbage to wrap its head.

Of course there are in the hemp rope tribe, but the things that can be solved with ordinary fur, but hemp rope is used. Of course, people in the tribe will not do such an expensive thing.

There are also some people who pull out a piece of radish, cut off the upper and lower ends of the radish with a copper knife, put it in the head of the radish, and then transport it to the radish cellar for storage.

The reason why the copper knife is used to cut off the leaves on the top of the radish and the roots below is because if they are not all cut off, the radish will continue to grow after being placed in the radish cellar where the temperature is relatively high.

There is no future in growing in a dark environment like the radish pit. Apart from consuming the energy stored in the radish itself in vain, there is no other result, so they need to be stabbed twice in advance.

Another group of people dug up the soil not far away, and after carrying it with a load, they carefully cultivated the root of the radish, covering the exposed part of the radish.

When everyone was working in the vegetable garden like this, after getting up in the morning, the sky that started to be gloomy slowly cleared up, and the orange-yellow sun shone on the earth.

But despite this, the temperature did not mean to rise, it was sunny and cold.

But no matter what, this sunny day gave people the greatest comfort, and the haze in people's hearts dissipated.

More cheerful than the Qingque tribe, it is the other tribes with more primitive lifestyles.

The Bear Tribe not far from the large bamboo forest, and the Xi Tribe not far from the tribe have a lot of limestone. The people in these tribes, looking at the sunshine that is pouring down all over, are happy and jumping up and down.

Some people cried aloud, while others bowed down to the sun in the sky and kowtowed reverently.

In their own way, they are grateful for the sun coming out, and thankful that the wind and snow did not fall at this time.

After thanking, people in each tribe began to go all out to collect and store food.

Nuts such as acorns, chestnuts, and pecans are their favorites.

But when encountering some late peaches, late pears, persimmons, red hawthorns, and some unknown fruits, they will not let them go.

Compared with chestnuts, these fruits can not be stored for long enough, but they are also food, and they can choose to eat these things first.

In the past, when autumn came, people from various tribes were very active in collecting food. Now, under such weather conditions, they have become even more active. They wish they could spend the whole day collecting food outside...

In the next few days, the temperature was very low. When I woke up every morning, there was a thick layer of frost on the haystack outside. When I looked at it suddenly, I thought it was a thin layer of snow. .

There is also a thin layer of ice on the still water.

The autumn of Qingque's eleventh year was particularly short. The late autumn hadn't passed much, and it was replaced by a strong winter.

After waiting for a few more days, seeing that the temperature showed no signs of rising, Han Cheng ordered people to harvest more than half of the cabbages and radishes in the vegetable garden.

If you wait any longer, many of them will freeze to death.

In such a weather, the people of the Qingque Tribe were not idle. Some people were competing with cabbage and radishes, while others were also seizing this opportunity to quickly collect fruits.

Just like in later generations, no one disliked that they had too much money, and the people in the Qingque tribe never disliked that their tribe had too much food.

Although the food stored in the tribe is enough for them to eat until next year's autumn harvest, or even until the autumn harvest, the people in the tribe still hurry up to collect the fruits.

There are also some people who are still digging the ground.

At this time, turn over more, and after the next spring, you can turn less, and the remaining time can be used to reclaim new wasteland.

In the tribe, those dexterous female primitives were not idle either, sitting there using scissors, screwdrivers, needles and threads, fur and other things to sew clothes quickly.

This year's weather has turned cold so fast that many winter clothes have not been made, so people in the tribe are hurrying to make them.

The weather is getting colder and colder. Is a period similar to the Little Ice Age about to start?

Standing on the fence, wrapped in a tiger skin cloak, feeling the cold air, Han Cheng thought so.

It's just because the era he came from was too far back, it was a prehistoric era, and there were no written records. Regarding such things, he could only guess in his heart, and he couldn't confirm it.

As for the fact that the weather has been getting colder in recent years, Han Cheng has known for a long time, and there has been speculation about the Little Ice River for a long time.

So feeling the cold air at this time, I didn't panic too much.

As long as the weather doesn't affect the growth and planting of crops such as millet and soybeans in the tribe, he doesn't have to worry too much.

If it is impossible to live here, then take the tribe to migrate southward.

I don't believe that the colder weather can affect places further south.

When I first came, the population of the tribe was only a few dozen, and there were only ten middle-aged men and lame men, and the rest had nothing. Under such circumstances, I also led the tribe to develop slowly.

Today, after absorbing the two tribes of the Wind Tribe and the Neighboring Wind Tribe, a total of more than 140 people, plus 89 newborn babies who have survived from last year to now, excluding the four dead people, today's The Qingque Tribe has a total population of 1,169 people!

Among them, the number of citizens has changed from the previous 513 to 807. The reason for the rapid growth is that, on the one hand, more slaves have been promoted to citizens than in previous years. On the other hand, That is, more than 140 people from the Feng Tribe and Linfeng Tribe joined in, plus 89 newborn babies.

The number of male adult citizens increased from 71 to 123, and the number of female adult citizens increased from 133 to 225.

The total of the two is 348 people, and there are 459 minor citizens, and 19 of them are about to enter adulthood.

Compared with the previous period, the number of slaves in the tribe has decreased significantly, from the previous 426 to the current 362.

Among them, there were 182 adult slaves and 180 minor slaves.

The reason why the number of slave minors in the tribe did not increase, but decreased. On the one hand, some of them became adults, and on the other hand, after coming to the Qingque tribe, all the babies born were automatically transformed into the Qingque tribe. citizens, these children are innocent after all.

Crops include millet, soybeans, peas, and rapeseed, donkeys, deer, dogs, pigs, etc. on livestock, and bronze on tools.

Under such circumstances, with such a rich family background, moving to a new place, I don't believe it will not develop.

Of course, this is just the worst plan. If it is not the last moment, Han Cheng will not do this.

After all, everything here has cost them enough hard work, and if they are really relocated, a lot of hard work will be wasted.

But even so, for the sake of himself and the whole tribe, Han Cheng had to make this worst plan.

After all, this is a matter related to the fate of himself, his wife and children, and the entire tribe.

Should we wait until next year and send some people out to head south vigorously.

Go there and find a place where the climate is good, and there are lands and rivers suitable for settlement.

Cultivate some land there and establish a new branch tribe.

Under the condition that the main tribe and the Tongshan residential area are still suitable for survival, it is relatively easy to transfer some people to do this work with the supplies from these two places.

And for the tribe, this method of preparing early and taking it slowly can minimize the damage that the tribe may encounter.

If you don't plan in advance, it will be too late to do these things when the weather gets colder every year and you finally have to move from here to the south.

Just like this, taking all the belongings of the tribe, and all the people of the tribe, headed towards the unfamiliar south where they knew nothing... This thing is exciting to think about.

If it is not done well, it may hit a head and bleed, causing the tribe to suffer a big loss.

It is far from reliable and safe to make such an early plan, and then migrate after the business in the south is almost done.

In this kind of fate that concerns himself and the tribe, he can't take risks.

The more Han Cheng thought about it, the more he felt that this matter was feasible. Even if he didn't want to establish a tribe there, it would be good to find such a place in advance, so as not to be caught blind at the critical moment.

When this thought arose, Han Cheng's worries about the possible Little Ice Age suddenly diminished a lot.

If it is said that in the past, for the possible occurrence of the Little Ice River, it was just a kind of mentality to fight hard with some capital, then at this moment, Han Cheng, who thought of this method, really had a feeling in his heart. Bottom.

Such a thing, I should have thought of it a long time ago!

On the wall, Han Cheng, who was exposed to the cold wind, kept a smile on his face for a while, then reached out and patted his forehead, thinking angrily.

As early as when he started to build the Tongshan residential area, he wanted to disperse the population and wealth of the tribe to a certain extent, and not put all eggs in one basket.

Han Cheng, who made this decision, has always been very satisfied with this method of dispersing the risks of the tribe, but looking at his thoughts at that time at this time, it seems a bit too petty.

Or maybe it's too small.

The main reason is that the distance between the Tongshan residential area and the Qingque main tribe is still too close.

And basically on the same latitude line.

In such a situation, it is usually fine, but if there are large-scale natural disasters, such as floods, droughts, and cold waves, it is very likely that they will be affected together.

Things that were thought to be safe at the time are not safe at all from the perspective of this place.

Sly Rabbit still has three caves, and besides the main tribe, there is only one Tongshan residential area in his own tribe. Now it seems that it is time to build another branch tribe!

At the very least, it couldn't be compared to the rabbit who was often knocked to death by the witch's ear.

Of course, Han Cheng didn't count the small courtyard in Yanshan at this time.

Yanshan is too close to the main tribe of Qingque, so it can only be regarded as a vassal of the main tribe, and it can't reach the giant status of the Tongshan residential area.

After thinking this through, Han Cheng didn't feel so cold with the cold wind blowing.

Standing here and blowing the cold wind for a while, Han Cheng got down from the fence, and was going to talk to Wu and Senior Brother about this matter.

At this time, Wu was standing by the side of the rabbit pen, looking happy and very kind.

Of course, the premise is that you need to ignore what he is doing.

Looking at the pile of motionless rabbits on the ground, Han Cheng couldn't help sniffling, moved by Wu's kindness.

It's a pity that there is no pepper in the tribe, otherwise, so many rabbits can make a lot of spicy rabbit heads, and have a good time.

Well, being close to Zhu Zhechi, he often comes into contact with benevolent and kind-hearted witches. Before he knew it, Han Cheng also became kind and caring.

After admiring Wu's clean and neat technique for a while, Han Cheng also started to do it.

Instead of knocking on the rabbit, he tied the rabbit to death with a rope and hung it on a pole, and then started peeling it from the three-petal mouth with a copper knife.

The senior brother next to him has peeled off several tube skins very skillfully.

After the skinned rabbit was disemboweled, the intestines were not thrown away, but put in a basin on the side.

Lame, and some other people who often knit, turned over their intestines with their hands and feet.

After the intestines have been turned over once, they will be thrown into a basin, and when a certain amount has been accumulated, someone will wash them with warm water and salt over and over again.

"Wu, senior brother, when the weather gets warmer next year, we will send some people to head south..."

While peeling the rabbit, Han Cheng spoke to Wu and Senior Brother about what he had thought before.

Following Han Cheng's narration, the movements of Wu, Senior Brother and the others gradually slowed down, and finally they simply stopped.

Wu Lian stopped doing the rabbit-beating thing he liked to do, and listened carefully to what Han Cheng said about the possible harm to the tribe as the weather continued to get colder, as well as the many benefits it could bring to the tribe.

Following what Han Cheng said, the expressions of several people kept changing.

I heard that the weather is getting colder and the winter is getting longer and longer. It is possible that the crops that have not been harvested in time will be frozen to death, the livestock in the tribe will die because they did not store enough food, and so on. At that time, the senior brother clenched his fists tightly.

Wu's wrinkled face was full of horror and fear, and even the stick in his hand that was used to knock the rabbit fell to the ground.

They all have a deep feeling for the cold, because of the existence of stones, they also understand that winter is coming earlier and earlier.

In the past, Wu and the others might feel fearful and dark about such things.

But now that the living standards of the tribe have been greatly improved, they don't have too many worries about these.

They have a kang, enough clothes, and food, and they have a strong ability to resist the cold.

But at this time, the support in their hearts was torn to pieces by the scene Han Cheng described.

The winter is getting longer and longer, the crops have not yet matured, they have been frozen to death by the early cold, and then become fruitless... These scenes that they have never thought of before, just need to listen to it, it makes people feel Creepy.

In the past, people in the tribe might not believe this, but now, after the radish and cabbage in the tribe have just experienced a reduction in production due to the early cold, Wu and senior brother who are very distressed by this They have no reason not to believe it.

What's more, this is something that the most respected and wise Son of God said in person.

Everyone who heard this was surrounded by fear.

This is not only because such a scene is too frightening, but also because they find that it is simply unthinkable in the face of such an unrivaled disaster.

There is nothing to do but wait here for the crops to fail and the livestock to freeze and starve to death.

"Son of God, can you go to the south?!"

Wu grabbed Han Cheng's hand and looked at Han Cheng expectantly and nervously.

When Wu said this, the elder brother and the others quickly raised their heads and looked at Han Cheng with the same gaze.

They all remembered that before Shenzi described this terrible disaster scene, he first said that some people would go south with all their strength after the weather became warmer next year.

Although I don't know why I have to go south with all my strength, but since Shenzi said so, it means that going to the south with all my strength is very likely to solve the current predicament.

"clever!"

Han Cheng nodded vigorously and gave Wu a thumbs up.

Seeing Shenzi nodding in approval and making such an action, several people let out a long breath.

"It's warmer in the south, warmer than here. If we really can't live here, let's go to the south and live there..."

"But it doesn't mean that the weather is really going to be that bad, it's just a worst-case scenario that could happen.

But we still have to make preparations in advance, only in this way can we protect our tribe to the greatest extent when such weather really comes..."

Han Cheng continued to talk about these things to everyone.

Wu, senior brother, and Lie, who were frightened by the terrible scene Han Cheng described, nodded their heads when they heard the words, and felt that what Shen Zi said was very correct.

Seeing this, Han Cheng felt very relieved. After all, it was just today that he thought of these things, and once again received the admiration of everyone in the tribe, pretending to be silent.

Just when Han Cheng was about to settle the matter, Wu seemed very puzzled and asked a very profound question...

(Subscriptions are very low during this period. I implore capable book friends to subscribe, thank you. I am not an old ink fan, but I rely on this for food now. Without subscriptions, life is difficult...)
