Survival of Prehistoric Widows [Farming] - Chapter 80
The orc standing in front of Zitong was tall and handsome. He was wrapped in a long animal skin coat. The animal skin coat was wearing a thin layer of clothing made of unknown material.
What surprised Zitong was that the eyes of this orc were pure purple like him.
The orc condescendingly looked at Zitong, frowning in a bit of distress, scratching his head lightly, and muttering, “What can I do with that little broken tribe?”
Zitong couldn’t allow others to call his proud tribe that way, and stood up with wide-eyed eyes: “Our Mahogany tribe is very good!”
“What good can a tribe with such a small number of people do?” The orc tilted his head in disdain, and pointed to the plump barbecue on the table. “Can they give you this?”
Zitong glanced at the roasted meats that exuded a strong oily fragrance, and was a little nauseous with greasiness.
In the Hongmu tribe, their food is mainly millet and pasta, with various vegetables, livestock and poultry, fruits and sugar cubes after the meal for dessert, and occasionally some other prey scorpions.
Zitong hasn’t seen such a pure barbecue for a long time.
——Let’s not talk about how greasy it is to just eat these meats, just say that the barbecue in their mahogany tribe also uses white salt, pepper, pepper and other seasonings, as well as soy sauce vinegar and other dipping sauces!
The orc was nearly two heads taller than Zitong. He couldn’t see the expression of Zitong’s bowing head. He thought that Zitong was stunned by the food he took out, so he patted him on the shoulder with some pride: “You are still the way we treat you. Okay? You are the descendants of our Zima tribe. Those small tribes will count them as if you pick it up, and they will give them some benefits in the future. You don’t have to remember.”
“Am I a descendant of your tribe?” Zitong has been dizzy after being caught, but now he can hear a little clue.
He went out that day and was attacked by someone who didn’t know. He was awakened by a noise in the middle, and he fell asleep in a daze, and then he woke up here.
At first, I thought that some small tribe had tied him up, but I didn’t expect it to seem like this is not the case now?
“Did you see my eyes?” The orc bent slightly, and pointed to his own eyes that look exactly like Zitong, with a bit of pride in his words. “Our tribe can be said to be a tribe favored by God, all the cubs born. His eyes are all the same color…You must be the lost tribe of our tribe!”
Zitong was indeed a cub picked up by the Redwood Tribe, but hesitated after hearing this.
Is it really the tribe from which he came from?
But if you really recognize him, why do you use looting to catch him?
The orc saw the shaking of Zitong, squeezed his chin, and introduced himself: “My name is Ao, and the leader of our tribe is my father; in fact, we did not capture you.”
Zitong was a little suspicious: “Not you?”
“When someone in our tribe was hunting outside, they saw two orcs sneaking with you. They were a little suspicious, so they stopped them, woke you up, and saw your eyes.” Ao said frankly, “Since It’s a member of our tribe, of course you can’t leave it alone, so I brought you back.”
Zitong heard it half-believingly: “Why are those two orcs arresting me?”
“I said I wanted to blackmail something from the Redwood tribe.” Ao curled his lips in disdain, “Heh, what can be blackmailed by that little tribe, I think it is an excuse! I must want to blackmail our Zima tribe, just by us. It’s hard to say if you caught it.”
Zitong looked around—an animal skin tent that was strange in the olden days, a table made up of two stones and a wooden board, the hay under the animal skin…
Looking at the orc in front of him with a proud and proud face, Zitong coughed inexplicably, and asked carefully: “Have you never been to the Redwood Tribe?”
“I never go to those little tribes with few people.”
Zitong wanted to show off all the good things of their mahogany tribe, but when the words came to her, she suffocated.
He still doesn’t know the style and habits of this Zima tribe. In case it is the atmosphere of the Xiaoshi tribe, showing off the wealth of the Hongmu tribe is completely bringing disaster to them.
——It is better to observe patiently first, and it is best to find a chance to go back…
Zitong’s eyes rolled, with a hint of grievance on her face, and tentatively said: “But I still have my father in the Redwood tribe. He has worked hard to raise me, I miss him.”
Ao didn’t say anything about this, and he laughed: “Since he has raised the descendants of our Zima tribe, he is considered meritorious. After the cold season has passed, we can send someone to pick him up.”
“Wait for the cold season to pass?”
“Now everyone is busy hunting and accumulating food for the cold season. There is no effort.” Ao misunderstood Zitong’s meaning and comforted him, “Don’t worry, our tribe is very strong. You may not know it when you just came back, never Hungry for you.”
Zitong tried to break his thoughts back to two years ago, and curled his lips secretly.
——The Mahogany tribe has already piled up grain in their granaries at this time, and they are at the most leisure time… This Zima tribe seems to be very good at listening to Ao, and it is not necessary to hunt for food for the winter…
But now that I am already here, I can only listen to their arrangements.
Zitong sighed inwardly, missed Mufu, Lu Ning and the others, reluctantly accepted this fact, and sat back on the ground again.
Seeing Zitong’s acquiescence, Ao relaxed and patted his shoulder: “You should be hungry, hurry up and eat, these are all for you, you are welcome-when you are full, I will take you out to see Our tribe, don’t be scared hahahaha!”
At the end, Ao himself smiled triumphantly, and touched Zitong’s head with some affection.
——Poor Asian beast, must be starving in that little tribe, right? I can’t believe it when I see so much meat…
The orcs of the Redwood tribe were forced to learn words and arithmetic by Lu Wei, and they were forced to use their brains. The style of speaking and doing things was quite different from that of ordinary orcs.
Therefore, Zitong hadn’t seen such a pure and simple orc for a long time, and the corners of his mouth twitched, but finally he could not say anything.
——If Ao didn’t lie, they are also their own saviors. According to Lu Er, I can’t be rude…
He cheered himself up, thanked him in a low voice, bite the bullet and picked up a piece of barbecue and ate it with his eyes closed.
…
In the Redwood Tribe, on the one hand, the idle orcs in the tribe were mobilized to go out to investigate the situation of Zitong, and on the other hand, they also began to think about the security of the tribe.
After migrating, they have been busy developing, because the walls of the courtyard are strong and subconsciously feel safe, they feel that everything is well, and they no longer consider the safety of the entire tribe.
Their farmland is being opened up larger and larger, and the safe area where the Asian beasts move is getting bigger and bigger, which also means that the degree of defense of the safe area is getting weaker and weaker.
Especially now that they are starting to trade with various tribes, there are many people and things, and any situation may happen.
Lu Er thought twice and put forward some suggestions:
First, build a brick wall around the core living area of the tribe to enclose all the residences, facilities, and roads of the entire tribe, leaving four gates from east to west, north to south. Because the small vegetable gardens, pig pens, threshing grounds, training places for the beasts and other places kept by each household are surrounded, most of the vulnerable animals, young beasts, and elderly people do not have to worry about external dangers;
Second, widen the road between the farmland and the tribe, brighten the view, and clear the bushes that may hide wild beasts or hostile orcs;
Third, arrange regular patrol teams, including all three aspects: water, land, and air.
These few suggestions were discussed in the current leadership circle of the tribe.
The first suggestion has the highest degree of safety protection, but now the cold season is coming soon, and they may not be able to build such a long wall before the arrival of the cold season.
“Let’s dig the foundation and burn the bricks. After the first heavy snowfall, we can build it slowly.” Jun thought for a while and made suggestions for improvement based on his own understanding. “The soil will become very hard after the cold season. It is estimated that it is difficult to dig the foundation.
“Yes.” Everyone agreed.
There is nothing wrong with the second suggestion, just go ahead and give orders to all the orcs below, so that everyone can act at any time.
As for the third suggestion, everyone looked at Jiao Helie.
Jiao was in charge of all the security work of the Redwood tribe. After Jiao and Lu Ling went to the boundary of God’s punishment, the work was temporarily handed over to Lie.
Jiao and Lie had already passed the qi, and had a general understanding of the current situation of the orcs in the tribe, and nodded, “It should be okay…just why arrange waterway patrols?”
There is a big lake next to the Redwood Tribe, but most of you only fetch water there, occasionally catch some fish, and don’t feel much about the lake itself.
“Waterway itself is also an important hub of transportation.” Lu Ling took the opportunity to introduce the concept of “boat”, “We use cars to transport things, but the efficiency is actually not as efficient as boats-we will also use waterways later. Now we need to do it first. Good waterway inspections and danger elimination; on the other hand, during the cold season, the lake will freeze, which is no different from ordinary roads. You must also beware of enemies coming over there.”
Luer’s trailer has been improved several times, and its stability and smoothness have been significantly improved, and its load capacity has also increased a lot. It is now the most common mode of transportation in the Redwood Tribe.
Is water transportation really more efficient than trailers?
Everyone has doubts in their hearts. It’s just that what Lu Er has said so far has rarely been targeted. Since Lu Er said that it is more efficient, it must be higher.
Several suggestions were passed quickly, and the orcs prepared intensively.
In addition, Lu Yan found the construction team and asked them to help him build a special thing.
The orcs in the construction team also learned these techniques from Lu Er. They were grateful to Lu Er. Upon hearing Lu Er’s needs, they patted their chests without hesitation and said, “What do you want to build Lu Er? We can do it for you without sleeping at night.”
Lu Er smiled: “Don’t be so hurry, it’s just a small project.”
He wants to build a warm shed.
Not being able to eat vegetables in the cold season is always a big problem.
In the past, Lu Ling knew some methods of storing vegetables in northern winter in modern society, and only a few of them could be used in this world—because the cold season in this world is much colder than the winter in the north of the earth.
But Lu Er was used to eating vegetables, so naturally he didn’t want to wrong him. In the first two years, the conditions were not enough and I had to reluctantly. Now the manpower and material resources of the Redwood Tribe are all rich, and the greenhouses planned by Lu Er can also be set up.
Luer planned two facilities, one for storing the harvested vegetables, and the other for growing new vegetables with a short growth cycle.
The former prefers cellars to avoid light and wind to keep vegetables longer; while the latter must ensure enough light and ventilation to allow fresh vegetables to grow.
In addition to these, Lu Er also tried to start making sauerkraut.
Pickled vegetables also last longer. A roommate from Lu’er University in his previous life was very good at cooking. Later, he went out to start a business and opened a food store. He once taught him some simple home cooking methods, including pickled sauerkraut.
The first batch of sauerkraut came out of the urn, and Lu Ling cut a piece and tasted it: Although the taste is not as good as the authentic Northeast sauerkraut he has eaten in modern society, the taste is not bad. It is definitely a rare delicacy in the cold season when vegetables are lacking.
When it comes to sauerkraut, Lu Yan thinks of the famous Northeastern dish-sauerkraut pork stewed blood sausage.
Now there are pork and sauerkraut, but blood sausage.
He touched his chin, but he came up with a new idea: Can they make some bacon and blood sausage?
