Super Chief

Chapter 193: Spring ploughing

It rained lightly when I came, but I did not expect to stay in the Xiaohe tribe for five days, but when I returned, I caught a light rain.

Although it was also a light rain, this light rain was much heavier than the previous light rain.

With this light rain, the Snowy Moon has completely passed, and the Worm Moon (March) has quietly arrived.

Except for the crew members on the deck, everyone else retracted into the cabin. The restless guys watched how the mother dog feeds the baby Tep.

This guy Tep didn't even open his eyes, he couldn't see or hear, so he was just a stuffed sucker. But the dog mother Sheila can't do it, so many male bipeds are onlookers, why do you make me feel bad.

Well, Sheila is the name of the dog’s mother. Of course, this is the product of Shixiong’s bad taste. Since even Tepp has come out, what happened to Sheila as a nanny for Tepp?

Since the two of you were endless rivals in the previous life, then in this life you can turn your fighting into jade and let Sheila be your nanny.

Sheila, the dog’s mother, is also quite puzzled. She originally had seven babies, but the seven babies disappeared overnight. She was replaced by a much older baby who was particularly edible. Now I'm getting on the boat again, and it's uncomfortable to wander around all day long.

If Shixiong had not been feeding Sheila some fresh animal organs to boil bone soup, she would have rebelled long ago.

To feed Tepp, a bottomless guy, Sheila must maintain a large amount of nutrition, otherwise the mother dog will not be able to take on the task of feeding a little bear cub.

Sheila is just a **** after all, and her milk volume can't be compared with an adult female bear anyway. Don't think Sheila can feed seven puppies to their fullness, but it is really strenuous to deal with a little bear cub alone.

That is to say, the stone bear understands this. It is basically impossible for another person to feed this little bear cub.

The return journey took a day longer than before. When the ship arrived at the tribe, the stone bear got off the ship and was pleasantly surprised to find that the little bear cub Tep opened his eyes.

Shi Xiong estimated that when Dashan brought Tepp back, Tepp had been born for more than ten days, after all, he was there standing there. If the cubs were born a few days ago, they wouldn't be that big. Then he stayed in the Xiaohe tribe for two days, and walked on the road for three days. It took more than half a month to add up. It's no surprise that Tepp opened his eyes at this time.

The first thing that Tepp, who had just opened his eyes, saw was the stone bear holding it. Although the stone bear did not smell of "mother", Tepp still struggled to open his mouth and caught the stone bear. His fingers are just a mess.

I don't know if he is hungry or what he wants to express, anyway, the cuteness of this little guy directly turned the stone bear over.

The Guardian returned to the tribe, and many tribesmen in the tribe came to greet him. So when the stone bear hugged Tepp, who was chewing on his fingers, and took the nurse Sheila down from the boat, he saw many tribesmen waiting on the dock. .

The light rain has stopped for two days. Although the sky hasn't cleared completely, the blue sky can be seen occasionally in the cracks of dense clouds.

"Master Guardian is back..."

"Yeah, does the Guardian want to raise a bear?"

"Is this the bear cub that Miss Baiyun gave you?"

"This little guy looks pretty fun..."

After a series of greetings, almost all the people of the tribe focused on the Tepp in Shixiong’s arms, and one by one, they gesticulated and commented on the little bear cub, and a group of bear children surrounded Shixiong, one by one. Everyone wanted to reach out and tease Tepp.

If Tepp was bigger, Stone Bear would still toss the bear cubs for the bear kids, but now it’s too small to withstand the toss. If it falls into the hands of these bear kids, it’s probably less than ten minutes. You have to let these bear kids toss to death.

So Shi Xiong waved his big hand and drove away the giggling bear kids, and then he held Tepp in one hand and Sheila in the other, and directed the tribe to unload all the things he brought back from the boat.

Saltpeter is okay to say, but the nearly 800 kilograms of soybean seeds are a good thing. With so many seeds, the scale of the soybean field will inevitably expand a lot this year.

After arranging the manpower to unload the ship, Shi Xiong returned to his house. As expected, Hong Yun and Li Lei were waiting in the house.

"came back?"

"came back!"

After greetings for a while, Hong Yun and Li Lei teased Tepp for a while, and then Shi Xiong threw Tepp to the nurse Sheila to nurse. The three people sat in front of a wooden table to discuss something.

The Moon of Worms has arrived, and now the most important thing in the tribe is spring ploughing.

Although there is no such thing as spring plowing on the Indian side, the truth is the same. Spring planting begins in March and April each year. This is a custom that has lasted for many years.

"You can plant potatoes at this time," Hong Yun said. Before becoming a priest of Kabulu, she was also a small farmer, and naturally knew what crops should be planted at what time.

For the Cherokee side of crops like potatoes, there are two kinds of crops a year, once in spring and once in autumn.

Spring planting starts at the end of February and early March, and harvests in June and July, and then re-sows in August, and can be re-harvested in December ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ This sowing method is similar to that of Shandong Province in China. The northern part of the province is almost the same. The location of Gaoshu Tribe is similar to Xuzhou in China in terms of latitude, so the farming time here is similar to the farming time in northern Jiangsu.

Potatoes are absolutely high-yielding crops. Even if there is no chemical fertilizer or something, the fertility of the land here is still sufficient, so one mu of land can still harvest more than one thousand catties. This yield is second only to the yield of sweet potatoes and much higher than corn.

There are a lot of potatoes left in the tribe. At this time, they can start to cut into pieces to accelerate the germination. After the buds come out, they are planted in the ground. After a few months, it will be a big harvest.

"Sacrifice, leader, this year we must have a variety of crops. We can plant as many crops as we can. It doesn't matter if we can plant all the remaining seeds in the tribe. After all, we are not short of food. And take advantage of our current food. When there is enough, try to expand the cultivated area so that we can harvest more grain in a few months."

Li Lei nodded and said: "I have discussed this with the high priest. Our opinions are basically the same as what you just said."

After a pause, Li Lei continued: "And now I am also arranging for the warriors in the tribe to continue to go out to catch the bison. We want to expand the scale of cultivation, and the number of tamed bison in the tribe is not enough."

Shi Xiong nodded and said, "This is necessary. The catching of bison and the expansion of farming scale are complementary to each other, Chief, I agree with your arrangement."

Hong Yun smiled and said: "You two should put your mind and energy on other aspects. You don't have to worry about the farming area. I will manage this area well."

Shi Xiong and Li Lei nodded.

While talking and laughing, the three people settled the matter of the tribe’s spring plowing...
