HCB Chapter 187 Harvest
Chapter 187 Harvest
Li Mingsheng: "I didn't expect these lives to be so tenacious!"
After Li Mingsheng and his companions found nothing in the coal mine, they turned to the road leading to the Dafeng tribe to look for the place where he had set up the formation before.
That three-tenths piece of rice.
Looking at the fallen rice stalks on the ground, which were covered with yellow rice ears, Li Mingsheng sighed at the tenacity of life, but also felt a little regretful.
They arrived too late, and much of the rice had fallen to the ground and sprouted.
Li Mingsheng entered the field and took out the spirit stone he had placed in it before, and found that there was still a lot of spiritual energy in it, at least half of it was left.
Li Mingsheng: "It seems that my decision was correct!"
Li Mingsheng: "Everyone, stop standing there and get to work!"
As he spoke, Li Mingsheng bent down, turned his nails into claws, and cut the rice handfuls by handfuls.
Because there were no modern machines, they could only use the most primitive method, which was to throw the rice ears against the wall of the basket to make the rice fall.
It didn't take too long to harvest all the rice in the field, as it was already sparse, so it didn't take too long.
Although the rice ears were large and full, they were too sparse so we only got two loads of rice in the end.
Basically, they are left to nature and do not require much care, so Li Mingsheng is very satisfied with these. When next spring comes, they will start to grow sprouts, plant rice, pull weeds, catch insects, etc.
Farming is also a very profound science. I will communicate with the skinny monkey one by one when the time comes.
Elephant Grass: "Chief, everything is ready. We can set off back to the tribe."
Following Xiangcao's words, the five of them rode their horses and galloped across the Mimisi Plain.
The return journey had to be a little slower because they had to carry the rice on their backs. Li Mingsheng didn't want the bumpy ride to reduce the already small amount of seeds, so he didn't dare to go too fast along the way.
However, compared to the time when he brought back the orcs from the Dayuan and Dafeng tribes, time was still much faster.
In the evening of the next day, Li Mingsheng, Yanli and others entered the tribe.
Yingkong was in charge of today's duty. When he saw Li Mingsheng and the others coming back, he hurried forward to say hello.
Li Mingsheng: "We are fine, you can continue your duty first!"
Seeing that Li Mingsheng and the others were indeed safe and sound and no one was missing any limbs, Yingkong returned to his post.
Now their duty team has a lot of things to do, because the tribe has set up several secret sentries according to Li Mingsheng's request. They can see the situation at the entrance of the tribe from a high place. Once there is any movement, such as strangers coming in, they will light a signal smoke to notify the people in the tribe.
The smoke is made by burning wolf feces that are dried and burned. This is a special code of their tribe.
For the current Jiuzhou tribe, starting a fire is no longer a difficult task. From the old orcs to the young cubs of a few years old, almost all of them have mastered this skill.
After returning to the tribe, several people went home and discussed other matters again after they had a good rest.
After being away for ten days or so, when Li Mingsheng and his friends returned, there was not much change in the house, except that it was a little dusty as no one had lived there for a long time.
The two of them cleaned up again. While Yanli was helping Xingxing and Jinhou lay the mats in the house, Li Mingsheng went out to Wenqing to get exotic beast meat and other supplies.
When Li Mingsheng walked in, Yanli's performance had just finished.
Li Mingsheng: "It's just right. Today I'll let you taste my cooking skills. It's been a long time since I've done it. I don't know if my hands are fresh or not!"
Li Mingsheng raised the exotic beast meat in his hand and motioned Yanli to look over.
He specially selected the best part, the tenderloin of the fire bull, and planned to make some cold beef tonight. He also got half a cuckoo chicken and planned to make soup.
Of course, vegetables are also indispensable. When Li Mingsheng came back, he went to the creek to pick some water celery. Although it is old at this time of year, it is still edible if only the tender shoots are eaten.
Yanli: "Okay, you go prepare the ingredients and I'll light the fire."
The two of them worked together and served the hot dishes to the table in less than an hour. "
Yanli sat opposite Li Mingsheng, the corners of his mouth curled up involuntarily, as if he was thinking of something pleasant. Even his eyes, which usually seemed filled with ice, narrowed up, looking extremely lively.
Li Mingsheng: “What are you laughing at?”
The other party's doting tone made Yanli almost choke on the meat in his mouth.
Yanli: "Ahem....."
Li Mingsheng: "Slow down, no one is trying to snatch it from you."
Li Mingsheng handed a glass of water to Yanli, and Yanli rolled his eyes at him.
He muttered, "It's all your fault."
Li Mingsheng: "I haven't told you why you suddenly laughed."
Li Mingsheng didn't know whether he wanted to tease Yanli on purpose, but he had to get to the bottom of it.
Yanli could only helplessly say: "Nothing, I just suddenly remembered the time when we were in Wugui Mountain. It was the same. The two of us, facing each other, ate the food we made."
Li Mingsheng: "Then I will fire more often in the future."
I had originally wanted to fire more and fatten up Yanli, but later on because of the slave mark incident, I broke my promise.
Li Mingsheng secretly made up his mind this time to do it.
Yanli: "It's okay, we are busy too. I will be very happy if it happens once in a while in the future."
The expression of disgust was not forced, but a genuine feeling that this was good enough. There were so many things, big and small, to do in the tribe, how could one be free all the time?
Li Mingsheng: "Then let's do this. If we're not busy, we can cook it ourselves every night and eat in the cafeteria during the day."
Li Mingsheng's proposal was passed unanimously by both of them.
Yanli: "Okay, eat it quickly, it will get cold soon."
Although it is okay to eat something cold in the summer, stir-fried exotic animal meat like this will be too greasy if it is cooled.
As autumn approaches, the atmosphere in the tribe becomes depressing and everyone is busy.
"Ever since the last meeting between the chief and the adults, our tribe has become very anxious, as if we need to prepare something."
"Do you know what's going on?"
During the rare rest time, when the people of Jiuzhou tribe went out for a stroll and chat at night, they couldn't help but mention the abnormalities in the tribe during this period.
"I heard that the chief is planning to attend the autumn gathering this year, so he is so busy. The tribe needs to prepare enough supplies, not only for exchange, but also because the tribe members will be out and may not come back until the end of autumn. At that time, the tribe will have fewer hunters, so they plan to work harder on hunting these days. We need to be prepared in all aspects."
"Is that so? How did you know that?"
“I naturally have my own channels.”
This orc is mysterious and seems to know a lot.
"Don't disbelieve me. When autumn comes, the leader will issue a notice and you will know then."
This person spoke with certainty, and the people around him were indeed convinced by what he said.
