Chapter 1587 5 Years of Development
More than half of these 12 acres of land are planted with staple food, such as wheat. They have also obtained rice seeds and understand how to grow rice, but the environment here is not suitable for growing rice, so wheat is planted most of the time.
The other lands are planted with fruits and vegetables. Now most of the daily vegetables are planted here.
For example, leeks, lettuce, cabbage, eggplant, cucumber, tomato, pepper, shallot...
There are also many fruits, such as watermelon.
In short, there is no need to worry about food now. These 12 acres of land are enough to provide sufficient food for seven people.
The breeding industry is also developing continuously.
Although animals are rarely refreshed in the random goods of the survival store, this survival team has a large number of people after all, and it is also a relatively wealthy survival team. After so many years of survival, it is also a very normal thing to occasionally refresh a few animals that can be raised.
For example, in the second year of survival, Bai Hao refreshed a sheep and spent 100 survival coins to buy it directly.
Later, in the pine forest, they used a pit trap to catch a wild boar weighing more than 80 kilograms, tied it up, and brought it back.
Thus, the initial breeding industry began. Unfortunately, there was only one sheep or wild boar, so they could not reproduce and could only be kept as meat.
If they could not find two, they would almost have to eat them.
However, everyone's luck was pretty good. Huang Hai caught three wild boars in nearly a year and a half, three males and one female, which allowed the wild boar group to begin to reproduce.
Later, a ewe appeared in the random goods, and it was bought directly at a high price.
This allowed the breeding industry to start developing immediately, and it was able to reproduce, gradually increase the number of tribes, and develop a stable breeding industry.
So far, the entire survivor group has 7 sheep and 8 wild boars, which can be considered very wealthy, and this number is still expanding.
Originally, the number should be more, but these livestock eat a lot of food, and it would be more troublesome to breed them, and even if the number is too large, there will be various diseases.
Therefore, the number has been controlled all the time, and it is kept below ten as much as possible. If the number is large, an older one will be slaughtered just to change the taste for everyone.
In addition to pigs and sheep, there are also many chickens around the camp, which are flying pheasants.
When he went out once, Huang Hai accidentally found a hen entangled by vines, and then lured several male pheasants through this hen.
Gradually, a breeding ground for pheasants was formed. This is a pure wild pheasant, which looks very gorgeous and can fly for a long time. At the beginning of breeding, their legs need to be tied to prevent them from escaping.
But after several generations of reproduction, this pheasant gradually lost the ability to fly and became more cumbersome.
Moreover, because they are fed food every day, they no longer escape, but stay peacefully and become part of the breeding industry.
Chickens reproduce quickly, so in the past few years, the number has reached more than 30. They don’t usually need to be kept in chicken pens, but can be raised directly on the hillside.
They will find insects to eat by themselves, and at night they will consciously return to the chicken coop to sleep, and you only need to count the number.
Compared with sheep and pigs, the content is actually more willing to raise chickens, because it is more convenient, does not need too much worry, and can harvest eggs every day, which is a very important living food.
As for sheep and pigs, sheep can barely get goat milk and wool, but for wild boars, the harvested agricultural products are relatively low, purely for meat.
But it must be said that the breeding of these three animals is a very important part of everyone's life, and it is also the foundation of everyone's development, and it is one of the most precious resources for everyone.
Wool can be used to make clothes and quilts, even in winter, there is no need to be afraid of the cold.
Goat milk can be used to feed some cubs, and people can also replenish energy after drinking it. It is a very precious food.
Eggs are daily necessities, so that many modern dishes can appear on everyone's table.
Even chicken feathers can be made into tail feathers for bows and arrows.
It is precisely because of these agricultural products that everyone's life is getting better and better, and more and more prosperous.
In addition to these three farmed animals, there is actually another animal in the camp, and the number is actually very large.
That is dogs.
As the first dog in the camp, Heifeng has also bred over the years and has given birth to several puppies.
However, he did not mate with other dogs purchased from the survival store, but directly mated with wolves to give birth to puppies.
Bai Hao and Huang Hai did not know much about this matter. Anyway, one day Heifeng went out for a night and did not return, and then...
As two old fathers, they were very curious and helpless when they saw Heifeng's belly getting bigger day by day.
Finally, when they saw the puppies born, they were in a very good mood, because dogs are of great benefit to the development of the camp, especially when going out, if you can bring a few dogs, the safety will be greatly improved.
So far, Heifeng has given birth to two litters in total, the first litter was 6, and 4 survived.
The second litter was 8, and 7 survived.
So now there are 12 dogs in the camp, and almost everyone adopts one. Anyone who goes out will bring their own dog, which greatly improves safety.
In addition, Huang Hai and another middle-aged male survivor, as the hunters in the shelter, will bring 4 to 5 hunting dogs when they go out hunting, and their hunting ability is very strong.
And even when facing wolves, they can be fearless, and even in size and weight, they are larger than wild wolves.
After all, there are good fish and meat every day, and the staple food is continuous, almost let go, and every dog grows fat and strong, far from being comparable to the wild wolves that are hungry one meal and hungry one meal.
Because of this, after the survival group has laid out such a large battle and occupied such a large living area, no wild wolf dares to come and harass.
Whenever there are wild wolves around, they will be discovered by the captive dogs. The lucky ones will be driven away, and the unlucky ones will be hunted directly.
If they appear during sensitive periods, they may even leave a litter before leaving.
The comprehensive development of planting and breeding industries has completely regularized the entire camp. As long as there are no major accidents, it can continue to develop steadily.
Fish breeding is actually a part of everyone's life, but its proportion will be much smaller relatively speaking.
