Survival of Prehistoric Widows [Farming] - Chapter 76
In my past life, I have eaten berries, honey, and sweet potatoes, but no food is as “sweet” as the syrup in my mouth.
This is the ultimate “sweet”. There is no other taste except “sweet”. It can only feel that the sweet taste fills the mouth and stimulates the taste buds, making him completely indulged in the charm of “sweet”.
After a long aftertaste, Mang woke up from the dreamlike sweetness, reluctant to take a second bite, and asked: “Is this made from beets?”
“Yes, this is sugar.” Lu Pai Paimang was already over his shoulder, and he smiled when he looked at his wanting but reluctant look. “Let’s eat, there are many more, the beets must be refined. Sugar can be stored.”
These syrups can be processed into sugar cubes and powdered sugar. Powdered sugar can be used as a condiment for cooking, and sugar cubes can be used as an important trading item in addition to rewarding sweet-loving people.
After communicating with several orcs in the altar tribe, Lu Yan realized his previous one-sided impression-although most of the tribes in the orc world are facing a lot of dangers, not all tribes are poor.
In fact, wealth and danger are not opposed.
As the “first tribe on the mainland”, the altar tribe has countless wealth. The pearl coral in the sea and the emerald agate in the mine are not rare in the altar tribe.
Even the orc groups of the size of the Heihe tribe themselves don’t worry much about food issues—they work as a team when hunting, and they are in good harmony with each other, and they are backed by extremely wealthy salt, and they hardly get hungry except in the cold season. The situation of death.
In the warm season, such tribes are even more willing to exchange their favorite foods or rare accessories.
When Zhan found the Redwood Tribe all the way, he also passed through a lot of rich medium-sized tribes, and now he still remembers many positions.
Lu Er intends to use sugar, which can bring infinite happiness, to open the way of trading between the Redwood tribe and other tribes, and at the same time promote the copper coins together.
Of course, if you do not have enough force to contact the big tribe, 80% of the face is not a deal but a plunder.
Therefore, Lu Er communicated with the old priest and Zhan.
The Hongmu tribe can supply their special products to the altar tribe at a very low price, and even directly give some core technologies to the altar tribe in exchange for the blessing of the altar tribe.
Although the future development of the Hongmu tribe is likely to be a low-level tribe, Lu Er’s purpose is not to lead this tribe to rise from beginning to end, but to allow civilization to cover all tribes, so naturally he doesn’t care about this little bit. Vanity.
Although the old priest didn’t care about the tribe’s affairs, he naturally knew that this would be beneficial to the altar tribe, and he naturally agreed; it seemed that Zhan didn’t expect Lu Er to make this decision. Seeing Lu Ming’s eyes were complicated.
After that, he still sighed with the horns: “In this case, if you can’t be the leader of the altar tribe, wouldn’t it be a loss?”
Jiao held Xiao Lujiu and glanced at him: “If he feels at a loss, then I will be the leader.”
Zhan suffocated his breath: “Are you a little too distracted by me?”
Jiao sneered, lowered his head and teased his little baby, although he did not answer, his arrogance was beyond words.
Zhan grinds his teeth, originally didn’t want to care about him, lowered his head and looked at Lu Jiu’s curious eyes, suddenly felt that he was hit, and knelt down to look at the little baby with interest: “Brother, you have given birth to so many I’ll be one.”
“Give birth on your own.”
“I definitely won’t have cubs.” Zhan mumbled.
The corner did not understand: “What?”
“Nothing.” Zhan reached out and hooked Xiao Lu Jiu, still a little unwilling, “Really don’t think about it? This kid’s hair seems to be the same color as me, isn’t it just right to send me as a cub?”
“That’s the color of green ears.” Jiao stood up, put Xiao Lujiu on the chair, moved his fists and feet, his eyes were deep, “Want my cub, have a fight.”
…
When Zhan was beaten, Lu Yan was counting the goods they could take out for trading.
Sugar, noodles, corn, soybeans, salt, oil…
Although due to the weather, only things that are easy to store and not easy to confuse can be loaded into the car, but a variety of things will definitely make any other tribe eye-opener and willingly trade with them.
Lu Er organized a “trade squad” to carefully advise them on the rules and techniques of simple transactions, as well as the pricing of these commodities.
After the initial planting period for the next crop of farming is busy, they will be sent to the surrounding small and medium tribes to promote the products of the Hongmu tribe.
With the training of the horns and sufficient food supply, the orc warriors of the Redwood tribe have grown extremely fast. Although they are not as good as the big tribes in quantity, the quality is not much better, and there is no problem in dealing with the nearby tribes.
This promotion is mainly to build the reputation of the Redwood tribe, attracting orcs from other tribes to buy these good things in the Redwood tribe, and at the same time, it can also greatly promote agriculture.
Only when everyone’s productivity is improved, the surplus resources can be traded in the Redwood Tribe, and the wealth accumulated by the Redwood Tribe can also be greater.
“Okay, have these prices been memorized?” Lu Er confirmed it at last.
Several people in front of them nodded with their fingers: “I remembered them all.”
There were three orcs who went out to work as mobile vendors this time, a strong horse orc pulling a cart and acting as a bodyguard, a bird or beast to detect the way, and a smart orc selling.
Lu Er had intended to go out together a few times, but Su’s Yaju Qingye confirmed that she was pregnant a while ago, and she was reluctant to leave home for too long, so she changed other birds and beasts.
This is the first time that the Redwood tribe has taken the initiative to open the way of merchants to other tribes. Lu Ren designed some wooden cabinets on the basis of the trailer to put all kinds of things more naturally.
Lu Lin designed a simple travel map for them-first go to the Heihe tribe, the Heihe tribe ushered in a salt-changing rally at the beginning of this year, and now this month, almost the small tribes have to gather in the Heihe tribe to change the salt again. They happened to go to the rally.
If it is not sold out in the Heihe tribe, inquire about the nearby small tribes from the Heihe tribe and sell them one by one.
I personally sent the anxious small caravan away from the tribe, and patted them on the shoulder before leaving: “Don’t stress too much, pay attention to safety on the road, and come back within two months regardless of whether it is sold out or not-this is also the first time for us. Try this, it’s okay if you lose, it’s just a little bit.”
When talking about business, Lu Yan always had a confident and gentle smile on his face, and his words were quick and slow, and he easily smoothed out the few orcs who switched to business for the first time.
—Yes, these things are not too precious in their tribe, there is nothing to be afraid of!
…
Although the horns beat the fight, in fact, it takes a lot of effort to take care of the three little boys.
Lu Er and Jiao have a lot of things in the tribe. Especially Lu Er, a lot of work lost during pregnancy now has to be made up; in addition to doing farm work at home, Horn also has to give special training to the orcs in the tribe.
After the Tusk tribe merged in, in order to enhance the efficiency of the integration of the two sides, the horns broke up all the orcs and re-formed them and re-formed the training plan.
Because both of them are very busy, the three little boys are overwhelmed to take care of them.
The two younger brothers Zhan Hemang did their part to become alternative candidates to take care of the cubs.
Jiao still remembered that Zhan was worried about his little lion’s thief, and he specifically held back Mang and said, “Lu Jiu must not let Zhan touch.”
Mang blinked blankly: “Why?”
“He has bad intentions.” Jiao thought of the stupid brother’s coveting of the little lion, his face darkened a little, “Be careful. If he dares to touch Lu Jiu, you will shoot him.”
Although Mang’s eyes are not very good, he has a very sensitive sense of smell, and he can definitely tell which cub is which.
Meng nodded his head as if he didn’t understand, “Okay.”
Jiao expected it to be correct. On the day of the war, when he was taking care of the cub with Mang, he wanted to hug Xiao Lu Jiu with a warm smile on his face.
Mang stayed beside Lu Jiu according to Jiao’s instructions, and “slapped” the hand that Zhan had stretched out.
Zhan didn’t understand at the beginning, and thought that Mang couldn’t see it, so he accidentally bumped into him. When he reached out to hold Lu Jiu, he was knocked out again, and he was a little confused: “What are you doing?”
“Jiao said he wouldn’t let you touch Lu Jiu.” Mang said seriously, facing the direction of war.
The corner of Zhan’s mouth twitched: “I just gave him a hug, not trying to steal him.”
“That’s not OK.”
Zhan didn’t want to care about this silly little bear, and withdrew his hand angrily: “All right, I’ll go hug Lu An and Snow Cat.”
Mang sat down again, took a small toy to play with Lu Jiu, while reviewing the lessons Lu Ling taught these days.
His temperament is introverted, although he has been a lot more open-minded under Lu Er’s guidance over the years, he is still relatively taciturn when there is nothing to do on weekdays; war-tempered is a bit impetuous, and the long silence in the room makes him feel unbearable.
I didn’t want to talk to this stubborn little bear, but after holding back for a long time, he couldn’t take care of so much. He spoke to Mang, “Mang, what do you usually do alone?”
Mang recovered from his inner study and review, tilted his head and thought about answering: “Study, herd, exercise, and sleep.”
Zhan: “…Don’t you feel bored?”
“do not think so.”
war:”…”
I can’t talk anymore this day.
He thought for a while, and changed the subject: “Didn’t you learn to knit wool?”
Don’t the orcs of the Redwood tribe know how to weave wool with their hands?
Mang turned his face to face Zhan, and asked with some doubts: “Didn’t you pick up all my fur?”
“Cough!” Zhan almost choked on his own saliva, and quickly clarified, “I just picked up a little bit! It’s all because you fell on me when you were hair removal!”
“What are you doing picking up my fur?”
Zhan cleared his throat: “I just want to learn to knit wool, don’t think too much.”
“Why not use your own.”
Zhan himself is reluctant to waste his pure golden fur before practicing the knitting skills. But the reason that Da Lai said did not seem to respect Mang a little, so he said seriously: “Because your Maomao feels better.”
Mang face fixedly “looked” in his direction for a while, and only after a long while he said “Oh”, lowered his head again to coax Xiao Lujiu.
…
When Zhan returned to the house where he lived that night, he happened to meet the strange eyes of the old priest.
The blond lion orc was stunned by this look: “What’s the matter?”
The old priest looked at him up and down, and it took a long while to “hum”, “I didn’t expect you to want a cub with a horn because of this.”
“Ah? What?” Zhan was a little confused.
“Pretend.” The old priest glanced at him, “Are you fancy people lost?”
The red bear named Mang was an orc, and he would definitely not give birth to cubs. No wonder Zhan Ju deliberately wanted to steal the wine.
Zhan was taken aback: “Mang is still a child, what are you talking about?”
“Isn’t he approaching adulthood?” The old priest shook his head, regretfully, “The rootless grass I prepared was wasted.”
Zhan was a little bit dumbfounded, and waved his hand: “You think too much, I have nothing to do with Mang.”
The old priest and war have known each other for so many years. Even this guy is best at pretending to be innocent and telling lies with his eyes open. He doesn’t believe it at all. Instead, he teaches: “You have to pursue others, and I’m not against it… I know that a plant can be ground into anointing, which is convenient. Used between two orcs…”
“Can this ointment be sold to me?”
Zhan was yet to be defended, and suddenly a somewhat cold voice came from outside the door.
Turning his head to look over, there is a calm Lie and courage still in a daze.
This house was originally where Lie lived, and Lie still had some things left here. This time I came here to take it and take it to Yong. Unfortunately, I happened to hear the conversation between Zhan and the old priest.
The old priest still didn’t know about Lie and Yong, and was a little strange: “What do you want this for?”
Yong’s expression changed slightly, and Lie tugged for a while to make him shut up.
Lie was very calm, as if chattering straightforwardly: “Yong feels bad, and is always reluctant to do it with me.”
Wen Yanyong’s face blushed immediately, and he couldn’t stand the shame and turned into a leopard on the spot, and rolled on the ground.
The old priest looked at the two young orcs, and understood, he tweeted a few times, turned his head and looked for his animal skin bag: “I have some leaves and seeds here, you can use them.”
It’s much easier to have seeds.
Lie nodded seriously: “I can plant with Yong.”
…
More than a month after the cubs were born, Lu Er finally arranged most of the things in the tribe and prepared to go to the old site of the Redwood tribe to verify the influence of the spiritual water and life force on the divine punishment wasteland.
Whether or not to take a few cubs was once Lu Lin’s most entangled matter.
On the one hand, he was reluctant to be separated from a few children. The meat dumplings that rolled down from him were innocent and cute. As long as they held them, they could feel the tenderness that continued to flow from his heart. When he thought of being separated from them for a few months, Lu He felt extremely reluctant; on the other hand, he was reluctant to take such a small child all the way up and down.
The former site of the Redwood Tribe can only live in tents, which is far less comfortable and convenient, and there is no goat’s milk to drink.
Although the orc cubs basically only need one month’s milk and can eat some simple porridge and broth later, Lu Ning still feeds the three cubs regularly.
Horn didn’t think it mattered: “Don’t worry too much. When I was this old, my father had already gone out hunting with me behind his back.”
“One month? Hunting?” Lu Yan was taken aback, “What can you do so much?”
“It’s mainly to stimulate the wildness hidden in the cubs during hunting in the wild.” Jiao sat on the kang, holding Xiao Lu An, and stuffed him with a candy cube. He watched him licking candy with a small mouth. There was a soft smile, “Do you remember when they were born in animal form, and it took a while to become human, right?”
Lu Ling hugged Lu Xuemao and nodded. Lu Xuemao also had a piece of candy in his mouth, and his mouth was bulging. With the movement of two pure white cat ears, Lu Yan couldn’t help but reach out to touch it.
Xiao Lujiu was not hugged, and he lay down on the crib. Seeing the two brothers had candy in their mouths, he stretched out his hand anxiously and yelled “Ahhhhh”.
The horn stuffer gave him a piece of candy and hugged him together in his arms, before continuing: “The cub can only arouse wildness and become a beast when it comes into contact with the breath of the wild. The sooner this process is, the better. The sooner the cub can change. Becoming a beast type, the more accurate and powerful you will master the beast type in the future.”
He rubbed Lu Jiu’s round head and shook his head, “There was an orc in the altar tribe who spoiled his cub so much that he was reluctant to go out hunting. He felt that he could raise the cub until he was an adult before letting him go out… When the little orc grows up, it is like a sub-beast, completely unable to become a beast.”
Lu Wei was startled, his expression slightly constricted.
-If an orc can’t become a beast, isn’t it about the same as a human?
“My father is the leader, and things are usually very busy, so it took me three months or so to go out hunting.” Jiao thought of his father, whom he had not seen for many years, and his eyes flashed with nostalgia. “Generally, orcs are in two or three months. Take it out when the cubs can walk on their own.”
The younger you are, the stronger your protector is when you are in danger.
Horn is confident that he can protect his three little cubs now.
Since it was beneficial to the growth of the cubs, Lu Lin did not object anymore. It’s just that he was concerned about another thing: “In the future, when agriculture and animal husbandry develop, there will definitely be fewer and fewer occasions for hunting. Will that affect the development of the orcs?”
Before, he only considered the stabilizing effect of agriculture on primitive society, but did not consider that the orcs themselves might still need this primitive wild stimulation.
Horn thought for a while, but didn’t feel that serious: “It shouldn’t… It doesn’t have to be a **** fight to stimulate the cub’s wildness. Running, roaring, fighting, everything that can be done in a beast state is OK, I don’t think so. What impact will it have.”
Lu Yan lowered his head for a moment, and felt that there was some truth. Then he smiled: “I am the one who has just gotten into the corner.”
Jiao placed the two little cubs on the kang and sat next to Lu Ling. He took Lu Xuemao from Lu Ling’s arms to the side without knowing how to sensual, and wrapped Lu Ling’s waist: “Don’t worry about so much, you bring us. The stuff is good enough.”
The full granary, the plump livestock, all kinds of vegetables, the courtyard with warm winter and cool summer…
Lu Er looked at Jiao’s sincere face and moved a little in his heart, and went to the side and kissed Jiao gently on the cheek.
The horns tightened some of his arms, and his breathing became heavier.
At this moment, I suddenly heard a loud cry of “wow” coming from nearby. The two of them looked over and found that Lu Jiu was snatching the candy from Lu Xuemao’s mouth, causing Lu Xuemao to cry.
Lu Jiu seemed to be startled by his second brother’s cry, let go, and cried after staying for a while.
Lu Er and Jiao hurriedly hugged each other and coaxed.
There is no reason to talk to a child of this age. Lu Wei looked at Lu Jiu with a headache while holding a new candy while sobbing and crying while licking the candy. He nodded his nose: “You are not allowed to grab candy from your brother. !”
The little guy couldn’t understand what he was talking about. He saw his father stretch out his hand and smelled the sweetness of the candy on Lu Yan’s fingers. He opened his mouth to bite and sucked, but he didn’t taste the sweetness. Then he let go in disappointment and turned his head to continue. Eat sugar.
Lu Er couldn’t laugh or cry, took a piece of animal skin veil and wiped the saliva from his fingers, wondering if he could start studying paper making and making paper towels.
The corner over there also hurriedly coaxed Lu Xuemao happy, sighed and looked at Lu Jiu who seemed to be okay: “You only need to be as good as your third child.”
Lu An was not affected by the two brothers just now, nor was he scared to cry behind him, lying there calmly and smacking off the taste of candy.
The three cubs looked the same when they were born, and after more than a month, their different personalities have begun to emerge.
The old mainland wine is impulsive and mischievous, and wants to taste everything when he sees it; the second child, Lu Xuemao, has a steady temper, but is very protective of food; the old San Luan is extraordinarily soft and slow to do everything, which makes Lu Yan worry. Is Xu Jiu’s third child affected by dystocia?
But Jiao fed his blood to Xiao Lu An, and the little guy did nothing else. After long-term observation, Lu Er found that Xiao Lu’an was slow in temperament, and could not see any problems in other aspects, so he was somewhat relieved.
Now that I have decided to take the three little guys with me, there are more things to prepare.
In addition to the baby supplies that Lu Er thinks are necessary, there are people who can help take care of the three cubs.
Old Sacrificial, Zhan, and Mang must be brought along. Teng will be responsible for staying behind in the tribe. The lack of Lie and Yong Dingjiao will give further special training to the orcs of the Redwood tribe…
Considering that the former site of the Redwood Tribe has been abandoned for more than a year, Jiao specially brought one of the Beaver brothers to make some furniture for Lu Er and the three cubs.
If it were not for the lack of manpower, he even wanted to take a construction team to build a house for Lu Er over there.
Looking at how busy the corner was, Lu Wei suddenly felt an idea when he was moved.
—Since the tribe is very familiar with the area, there are copper mines there, and they need to plant trees there…
—Why not just build a sub-tribe?
This proposal was approved by Jiao, but Teng was a little puzzled: “Our tribe doesn’t have that many people now, right?”
After merging the Jufang tribe, their size is barely considered a medium-sized tribe, far worse than the Heihe tribe.
“The former site of the tribe was mainly mining and farming. There was no core technology that could directly absorb the stray orcs or broken small tribes.” Lu Ning now has a clear understanding of the tribal state of the orc society. “Before the cold season, Many small tribes and wandering orcs feel that they cannot resist the cold season, they will look for large tribes they can join-these people can gather in our old site.”
The “counterattack” against the God’s Punishment Wasteland in a short period of time is still in the experimental stage, and it can slowly recruit orcs. The land over there has been reclaimed once, and it is very convenient to reuse it.
Teng thought for a while, found it reliable, and nodded: “Then I will arrange for someone to inquire.”
That being the case, there are many more people to take to the old site. Jiao directly called most of the construction team.
After procrastinating and preparing for a while, they finally embarked on the road to the boundary of God’s punishment.
