Survival of Prehistoric Widows [Farming] - Chapter 6

Lu Er finally rejected Yong’s kindness and explained in detail that this kitten was not his prey, but his pet.

Severely stated his position to make Mi, who was thinking about fighting bravely, feel more comfortable.

—Although it is somewhat dissatisfied with the positioning of “pets”.

It was difficult for Yong Yi to understand why he still had to raise an animal cub when everyone worked hard and still couldn’t get enough to eat. However, seeing Lu Er’s self-satisfaction, he didn’t force it.

Lu Ye knew the nature of his heavy plush control, and did not expect the orcs of this primitive age to understand him. He only held Xiao Mi’s tender claws and waved to Yong: “In short, Xiao Mi is like my family. , I hope you don’t treat it as food.”

He was really afraid that someday Xiao Mi would get lost and be caught by the people in the tribe and roasted.

Yong nodded and glanced at the little cat with a bewildered look. He always felt that there was a trace of danger hidden in its weak body, and the blue pupils gave him a familiar feeling.

The two of them had nothing to say so far. They bravely apologized for the blind communication they had just said and left. Lu Yan also picked up the cabbage again, and returned to the tent with the cat.

In the next few days, I don’t know if Huawei was choked by Lu Er’s merciless words, and he did not appear in front of Lu Er at all, which made Lu Er feel relieved a lot.

In the past few days, he was happily digging holes in his small vegetable garden to fill in soil to grow vegetables. Every day he cultivated a portion of the land, then added plant ash, and planted some valuable plants he found.

The orcs and sub-beasts of this era basically only focus on the concept of “filling their stomachs”. Only foods rich in starch, or sugars such as sweetness, will focus on the collection, and other types of plants will not be touched. bump.

In the past few days, in addition to white root vegetables, Lu Er also planted plants that were used to remove the smell of barbecue at the beginning, similar to green onions and ginger, and found Chinese prickly ash. But the soybean he wanted most was still not found, which made him a little disappointed.

Soybeans are the most affordable fertile crops, much better than his hand picking ash.

Observed in the past few days, Lu Ling found that Lingshui seemed to only accelerate the process of growth and development, and did not seem to be of much help to the quality of the plant itself;

The growth rate of plants is directly proportional to the amount of spiritual water irrigated. More watering grows faster, but after it grows to the most prosperous state, watering spiritual water will only keep the plants in that shape without wilting or wilting. Will not grow further;

The plants that have been irrigated with spiritual water will quickly wither and retain their seeds if they are not re-watered in the future.

This surprised Lu Er: In this way, wouldn’t it be particularly efficient to use Lingshui to help breed selection?

Of course, the premise is that the plants irrigated with spiritual water have not developed a dependency on spiritual water and can mature even when irrigated with ordinary water.

The seeds of the first batch of cabbage were replanted, and Lu Lin left a part of the soil ridges without watering them, intending to verify whether they can grow and develop normally.

The cabbage was bred by Lu Er at a rate of one to two generations a day. In just a few days, Lu Er had improved the cabbage a lot. Later, the sweetness of the roots of white root vegetables can be compared to ordinary berries, and there is no need to chew like sugarcane and spit out residue. It is crisp and sweet.

The cabbage that was cultivated and tested by the spiritual water every day could almost satisfy Lu Er’s own food needs; but cats are carnivores, drinking some spiritual water is fine, and it is definitely impossible to gnaw the cabbage.

Lu Yan was addicted to cats every day and couldn’t help himself. Of course, he was not willing to be hungry for his little cute. It’s just that these days, it is indeed like the cruel words that Huawei put down, and the tribe has not given him a piece of meat.

Lu Yi thought for a while, and took the initiative to go to the nearest tent where he lived—that is, Yong’s family asked, wanting to know what the rules of food distribution in the tribe are.

Yong was not at home during the day, and there was a middle-aged Asian beast in Yong’s tent. Lu Wei asked his name politely and learned that he was called “White Beard” and was Yong’s father.

The white beard is temperamental and warm, and his attitude towards Lu Er is fairly kind: “If you hunt for prey, the orcs who hunt generally get more points, and the rest is given priority to orcs or sub-beasts with children, alone orcs or sub-beasts, only I can see if there is any remaining share in the end.”

This distribution law is quite reasonable. Lu Ling nodded thoughtfully, and asked: “Can you tell me more about the hunting situation in the tribe these few days?”

Bai Xu shook his head and sighed: “It’s not great. Since the leader was seriously injured and his horns died, the prey we can catch in our tribe has decreased.”

Lu Wei knew from memory that this small tribe called “Redwood” used to basically count on the two most powerful orcs, the leader and the horn, to hunt. Now both of them have something wrong, and the food in the tribe is suddenly stretched. stand up.

He should belong to the lowest priority level of meat.

Lu Er knew in his heart. He didn’t have any opinion on this, after all, he did not make any contribution to the tribe after passing through.

However, the cat cub was still at home waiting to be fed, Lu Wei thought for a while, and asked the older Asian beast: “Can I use other food to exchange meat for you? The serving size will not be lower than that of meat.”

Baixu was a little puzzled: “What food?”

Lu Er took out the white root vegetables that he had improved and cultivated. Because he planned to replace the white root vegetables for meat in advance, he deliberately took the white root vegetables and washed them clean, and picked off all the stems and leaves that he couldn’t eat. The white and fat white root vegetables It looks exceptionally fresh.

The cabbage that was improved by Lu Ling was much plump, and Baixu looked at it for a long time before recognizing it. He was amazed: “Where did you find such a large cabbage?”

Lu Er didn’t want to expose his little vegetable garden for the time being, let alone the existence of Lingshui Ring, so he smiled and said, “Good luck.”

Baixu just asked casually. The food that the Asian beasts can find on their own are all capable, and he was just surprised. Green-eared used to look timid and lazy. He hid in a tent and did not go out on weekdays. He didn’t expect to be able to get one. People find food.

I heard Yong said that the green ears have changed a lot before, but he still feels unbelievable. Now when he comes into contact with it, he realizes that this young Asian beast speaks clearly and has sincere eyes, which makes people feel comfortable inexplicably, but it does not change. less.

-There is still some meat at home. It just happens that I have been a little uncomfortable eating barbecue these days, and I don’t suffer a loss when I change root vegetables.

Bai Xu thought for a while, agreed to Lu Er’s request, took a piece of meat, and replaced it with three round cabbage root vegetables.

After sending off Lu Er, Baixu hung up two white root vegetables, then broke one, intending to eat one.

The unusual hand feeling when breaking the rhizome made Bai Xi slightly startled. Upon closer inspection, he discovered that the cabbage that Lu Er had brought was much crisper than the cabbage he had dug out himself, and it could be broken easily. It is also snow-white, and it looks particularly fresh and tender, and the clear juice quickly accumulates, which is about to drip down.

White beard leaned forward to bite, and the sweet juice in the mouth made him think for a moment that he was eating the fruit picked from the river in the autumn. He subconsciously sucked two mouthfuls, and the sweet breath flowed directly from his mouth into his abdomen. Chewing, it is not as difficult to chew like ordinary white root vegetables and must be spit out. The crisp roots make a “click” sound in the mouth, and the sweetness stimulates the tongue, causing the white beard to swallow without noticing it. , When I reacted again, the whole cabbage was eaten down.

Licking the juice on his lips, the sweet taste made Baibeard want to eat another one.

—Is this still white root vegetables?

Baibeard was a little surprised. He glanced at the cabbage that he dug back in the wild yesterday. The appearance was yellow and the roots were tough. It was completely different from the cabbage that Lu Er brought over. He chewed twice before, and the bite hurts his cheeks. I don’t want to move anymore.

—If the white root vegetables are as crisp, sweet and refreshing as the one I ate just now, it would seem good to eat white root vegetables that day…

This thought suddenly flashed through Baibei’s mind. His mouth is not very good. He eats roasted animal meat every day, sometimes he feels that food accumulates in his abdomen; eating some fruits and white root vegetables, and feels sour and unbearable, occasionally eating a little bit is better, eating too much is more uncomfortable than accumulating food.

In the back, you can replace this sweeter white root vegetable with beast meat and green ears.

…

Lu Yan made most of the animal meat he bought from Baixu for Xiao Mi to eat.

In addition to the white root vegetables, he also tried to improve the quality of the suspected green onion and **** plants. It was perfect for seasoning to remove the fishy. Xiao Mi ate especially vigorously.

At first, Lu Ning thought that Xiao Mi, a kitten like that might not be able to stand the scent of green onion and ginger, and wanted to grill a piece of natural barbecue for Xiao Mi alone. He didn’t expect Xiao Mi to mind at all, so Lu Ning was amazed. The cat in this world is really different from the cat in his previous life.

However, Lu Er discovered a serious problem in the past few days.

There is not much salt left in the house.

In the beginning, there was only a little bit of coarse salt powder in the tent. Luer occasionally added a little bit of salt to optimize the taste when he barbecued, but that little salt was used for a long time, and soon there was not much left.

Salt is very important for maintaining daily activities, especially in this primitive tribal period. Therefore, after the cold winter, the leader will immediately bring the strongest orc in the tribe to change the salt, and it will be a disaster. .

The leader was seriously injured, his horn died, and he did not bring the salt back. The tribe can only rely on the stock of old salt for a while, and then eat more meat and blood from wild beasts.

Lu Er knew some earthen methods to make salt, but there were no earthenware pots in this tribe, and there was no saline-alkali soil nearby, so he couldn’t make salt even if he wanted to.

He also asked Baixu, and Baixu told him that there is not much salt in the tribe now, and he planned to organize another salt change in the last few days. At that time, everyone in the tribe can get the basic share, and if you want more, you can get food for it.

The salt of the Hongmu tribe is traded in a tribe named “Heihe” through remote hills, mountains, and rivers. In previous years, leaders and horns came to organize. This year I am afraid that Yong Hezhong will go together.

Since the tribe would change the salt, Lu Lin was somewhat relieved.

At that time, he can use cabbage for some salt.

He didn’t move the remaining salt for a while, and he chose to supplement the salt with the aerial roots of some plants growing beside the stream these days. Although the juice of the air roots is weak and has no salty taste, it also contains a little salt, which can barely support Lu Er’s body.

However, the salt exchange activities in the tribe suffered setbacks before they even started.

When the leopard-shaped Yong was carried back, Lu Yan happened to be at home. Hearing the noise outside, he went out and took a look. He just saw the white beard holding the beast-shaped Yong and crying beside him. There are several orcs and sub-beasts.

Lu Ling walked over and just saw the leopard sticking out his tongue to lick the wound of his broken leg. There was a painful gasp in his throat. One of the forelimbs was dripping with blood, and the lower half was abnormally bent. It was obviously a broken leg bone. .

Xiao Mi was held in Lu Yan’s arms and glanced at Yong’s injured leg. It was a pity: if he broke his leg like this, Yong was basically finished. Even if he didn’t die from the wound rot, it would be impossible to stand up and hunt later.

The leopard had obviously thought of this, and the dark brown eyes of the beast were full of pain and despair.

Just as Lu Wei approached, suddenly a figure sprang from the crowd, rushed to him and grabbed the animal skin on his body, and shouted, “Green Ear! It’s all you, the calamity star, who killed the leader and the horns. Now I am injured again!”

The author has something to say: talk about the small settings of this article~

The cubs of the orcs are called parents, the orcs are called “father”, and the beasts are called “mu father”.

There is no “dad” name, so Xiao Mi still doesn’t know what Lu Yan means when he calls himself father.

But in the future, hehe.
