Chapter 887: Ancient Farming by Internet Celebrities (21)

“Witch, what is this? The shell is so prickly, can it be eaten?”

"Of course. Take it back and I'll teach you how to eat it. The thorn shells can be dried and used as firewood."

　A can of fruit and shell are both useful, so what are you waiting for!

The women neatly collected the vine nets, and the sweet chestnuts in the nets rolled together, and then poured into the vine baskets they carried on their backs.

Just after finishing his work, the male wing tiger flew back with a few empty rattan bags in his paws.

Xu Yin was afraid that Ganli would fall out, so she found a few large leaves and covered the mouth of the basket, then wrapped hemp rope around it to seal the mouth of the basket. Then she tied the rattan basket to the back of the winged tiger and let it carry it back.

 The soft rattan bag it brought back continued to contain the beaten nuts.

 Male Winged Tiger: Got it! It is a means of transportation.

As Xu Yin expected, there are many nut trees growing in this forest. In addition to sweet chestnuts, there are also hazelnuts, acorns, and walnuts.

I don’t know how many years they have grown. These trees are very tall.

This time Xu Yin was here, using Qinggong and permanent divine power to knock down all the ripe nuts.

 Otherwise, the fruit will probably have to wait until the fruit is ripe enough to automatically detach from the branches and fall to the ground, where it will be eaten by passing herbivores, or carried back to the nest by squirrels and other small animals that like nuts to store food for the winter.

Chun said while carrying the nuts in the cane bag: "I picked up this fruit before, but it was too hard and I couldn't bite it."

“No! You broke my tooth.” Axia opened her mouth and showed Xu Yin her half-missed front tooth.

“So, Great Witch, is this really edible?”

"Yes." Xu Yin said with a smile, "I will teach you how to eat when I go back."

Seeing the acorns, she suddenly recalled that in her life as an ancient peasant girl, she used to make acorn tofu from the wild acorns she picked up.

At that time, she was already rich, and when she had nothing to do, she went for an outing in the mountains, picked up a basket of small acorns, and made delicious and chewy acorn tofu according to the methods of mountain farmers.

 “Let’s go! It’s time for us to go back!”

 The rattan bags, rattan baskets and rattan baskets brought out were all full.

The harvest was great in the past two days - Panax notoginseng tubers, nuts, pheasants in traps, bird eggs collected, and herbs collected along the way, which made everyone look happy.

The male winged tiger flew for the last time, delivered several empty cane bags, and then carried back the filled cane bags and cane baskets.

Xu Yin and his group carried a few empty rattan bags, and naturally the speed of climbing over the mountains and ridges increased a lot.

However, if I see useful herbs, wild fruits and vegetables along the way, I will still stop and pick them.

 I couldn’t bear to miss it if I passed by.

In ancient times when transportation was inconvenient, it was not easy to go out. They seemed to be on a long trip this time, and it took five or six days to go back and forth.

Before dark, you have to find a big tree hole to sleep in. A bonfire is lit at the entrance of the hole, roast a few black potatoes dug along the way, boil a pot of panax notoginseng tea, and sit around eating and chatting to rest.

This was the norm in ancient times. The mountains were high and the roads were long. Unless you were just wandering around the tribe, you could rarely get back and forth in one day.

 In fact, the women of the tribe rarely sleep in the wild, and even if they do, they are with the men, because the forest is very dangerous after dark, and wild beasts often come out to look for food at this time.

On the first day they came out, they sat by the campfire and spoke very quietly for fear of attracting ferocious beasts. They held the bows and arrows for self-defense tightly in their hands and never left them.

Until they saw their great witch kicking a ferocious beast that was more than five times her size more than ten meters away with a kick, killing the ferocious beast on the spot. From then on, she was completely relieved.

 After dark, you can sit around and talk and laugh without fear.

Just walking and walking like this, it was already evening two days later when we returned to the tribe.

“Great witch, Kun from the Cross River Tribe is here and wants to discuss something with you.”

Dashu who was on duty at the outpost saw Xu Yin coming back and immediately stepped forward to report.

 “Okay, I’ve got it, you did a great job, thank you for your hard work!”

Xu Yin gave him some wild fruits that she thought were delicious. They were sour and sweet and very appetizing. Dashu took it with a shy smile: "Thank you, Great Witch."

 After Xu Yin left, he jumped three feet high in excitement, yo ho! He was praised by the great witch! And invited him to eat fruit!

 Xiaoshu, who came to pick him up, quickly snatched a fruit from his hand and bit off half of it in one bite.

 “Hmm! This fruit is so delicious!”

 “This is mine! The great witch gave it to me!” The big tree jumped with its feet and hair.

"If I am not in a hurry to shit, I will be on guard at this time, and the great witch will give it to me."

　　　…”

Are the people who are pooping still reasonable?

 …

Kun came to Xu Yin to buy bows, arrows and pottery. He brought three helpers with him on this trip. Each of them carried an animal skin bag on their shoulders. The contents inside would definitely be liked by the witch doctor.

Xu Yin glanced curiously: "What is this?"

Looks like animal bones, but not exactly like them.

Kun replied with a smile: "It's the horn bone of a unicorn. The witch doctor can use it to prepare divine water."

“Sacred water? Is it the divine water that can cure all diseases?”

 The eagle's eyes widened in shock.

Are the Cross-River tribe so willing?

Kun smiled helplessly: "I really can't get anything more valuable."

 Sacred water? Can it cure all diseases?

Xu Yin twitched the corner of her mouth, it was useless to cure her.

 She is not a real witch doctor.

“You guys should take your things back.”

 “Great witch!”

 Kunji sweated. Did he mean that he didn't want to exchange with them?

He hurriedly said: "We are not greedy. We can exchange for two sets. No, a set of bows and arrows or pottery will also do! When we hunt more unicorns and get more horn bones, we can exchange them with the great witch..."

Xu Yin waved her hand: "Don't worry, listen to me first. I have a proposal regarding the transaction."

Kun calmed down and said, "Great witch, please speak."

Xu Yin’s first suggestion was to ask Min if he could teach her the art of prescience.

"I admire your great wizard's ability to predict. Of course, if he doesn't want to, I won't force him. We are brother tribes. If we encounter a crisis in the future, your tribe will not sit back and watch something happen to us."

Kun said that he would go back and ask the great witch: "But don't worry, even if the prescience cannot be spread to others, if there is a crisis, we will definitely inform the Xu tribe and we will never hide it."

 Xu Yin nodded with satisfaction, and then made a second suggestion:

"Your tribe is close to the river, and we are not planning to move away for the time being. It is more convenient to obtain materials. I will teach you how to make pottery. After you learn how to make pottery, in the first year, send ten large pottery pots, Ten small clay pots and twenty clay bowls; in the second year, five large clay pots, five small clay pots, and ten clay bowls or cups will be given every month. After two years, the pottery making technology will belong to your tribe Free to use.”

Kun was stunned for a moment: "What the great witch means is to teach us how to make pottery. After we learn it, as long as we meet the conditions set by the great witch, it doesn't matter how much pottery our tribe wants to make. All the pottery made will belong to us?"

"right!"

　　“Can I trade the extra ones or exchange them for other things?”

"right!"

　　　　!!”

 Is there such a good thing?
