Orcs’ Time Through Time

Chapter 23: It's better to have a patriarch than to have a good son! (on)

Under my strong request and Luo Lei’s arrangement, the males of the tribe built rows of wooden sheds behind the houses of the tribe. I took the females to raise four cows, ten sheep, and ten wild boars. , They are all "orphans" left behind by the hunters in the clan after hunting. I asked Luo Lei and the others to get them back for seeding. Domestication did not happen overnight, maybe a hundred years, maybe a thousand years, the sooner we started treating us The better yourself.

Although the wild is still difficult to domesticate at once, we built very strong wooden stakes, and they failed to run away. They were all brought back by the cubs, and they became much better after two or three months. And we are also very careful not to let them come into contact with the wild populations outside, lest their wild nature is more difficult to tame.

The people in the clan didn't understand at first, because they didn't think this thing could be matured, so they just went hunting if they needed it. But the facts also tell them that the prey will decrease a little bit. I told them that if we don’t want to continue to move in the future, we must raise these prey ourselves and raise them more so that their cubs can survive more so that we can eat them no matter if it is winter or any other time. With fresh meat, there is no need to worry that nearby prey will be hunted out, and it can even reduce more physical energy consumption to hunt.

Although he was dubious and a little confused, everyone brought me these cubs. I also mobilized the females of the clan to dig wild vegetables, and also picked some common weeds, cooked them with a small amount of salt and fed them to the cubs, and arranged for the females of the clan to take turns to feed them.

We have also raised a lot of rabbits. At first, there were only a dozen rabbits, and there have been hundreds of rabbits in a few months, and the number is still increasing. Now we don’t have many other animals, so we have used one side to raise rabbits. Everyone is actually very happy to see so many animals. Regardless of how everyone was talking about the use at the beginning, when they really started raising, everyone was enthusiastic about mowing and cooking. Especially when the rabbit gave birth to a baby rabbit for the first time, most of the people in the clan wanted to watch it. If it weren't for my organization, the rabbit would probably collapse!

Our family is now the patriarch, so we can’t act favoritism first, so in addition to the original cow and the three sheep, there are also a few rabbits that I caught. There are no other creatures, which makes me very depressed. And according to Luo Lei’s words, I can’t be too special in the clan, so I also have to do things about raising livestock in the clan. Instead, our own livestock is the grass that Rona goes to graze. I sigh fortunately that we have a good one. My child, what can I do if I’m not at home? Luo Lei felt a little embarrassed to hear me say this.

In fact, I feel that there are many inconveniences in my life after Luo Lei became the patriarch. For example, I can't call Luo Lei on call as before. He is always busy when I want to ask him to discuss something. And after dinner at night, I was so tired that I didn't want to talk or move! For a good life, the price paid is huge. I almost can’t remember what my life was like when I first came here!

Luo Lei always tells me that it will be better in the future and how we will behave in the future. I ignored him, just secretly vomiting: Forget it, now it can only be like this, do I expect to be able to relax in ten years? But seeing him occasionally look at me with a little overwhelmed and innocent eyes, I can only forget it in the end!

I don't know when it started, he learned this trick of looking at me with innocent and pure eyes once I glared at him! Even if he kissed me stealthily last moment! He is innocent, he is pure, where is he innocent and pure? ! Then he put on that expression with his face that made me jealous, I can't say about him yet! Think of it all upset. Sometimes I'm so boring. Ask him to sing love songs and entertain me, so he just turns around! It's really exciting!

Because there are fewer and fewer animals on the nearby hills and plains, and with the **** of the males of the line clan, the range of activities of the females has also expanded a lot. On the nearby mountains, everyone has found several clusters of potatoes and sweet potatoes. There are pumpkins. This year, the tribesmen who came to the Xing clan made two clay pots, two clay pots and two clay pots for each family, so everyone was very interested in cooking pumpkin soup and potato stew, and they all waited for these things to mature.

The people here don’t eat much vegetables. They eat more meat and wild fruits. Because they don’t have a pot to cook them, they basically eat wild fruits and barbecue, and occasionally roast wild vegetables. I don’t know. What's the taste of wild vegetables? Well, I don't even cook wild vegetables. When I think of those bitter and astringent wild vegetables, please forgive me! Now that every household has a clay pot that can be burned on the fire, they have begun to learn to enjoy it. Therefore, even those white radishes and pumpkins have a tendency to be inadequate.

The only thing that makes me thankful is that fortunately, I have grown a lot in my own house. The half-acre potatoes and the one-acre sweet potatoes that I planted grow very well, compared to those in the wild that have not been fertilized and grow densely and naturally. As far as plants are concerned, it has been treated as a reward, and it has been rewarded. And the densely growing seedlings in the wild are indeed as I thought, only the strongest survived. So I tell you that when we come next year, our whole clan will find a way to plant this. As for the planting site, the gentle **** around the tribe, everyone looked at it and found it reasonable, and they couldn’t help but look forward to it. Next year's spring will come soon.

At the end of July, the barley and wheat that I planted on both sides of the house were harvested. I planted less than half an acre of land, so I harvested it in only one day. Each harvested about less than two hundred catties. Of course, This is my estimate, because there is no balance at home, I think one day I will have to make Luo Lei a balance at home, I am afraid he will be embarrassed. Alas, after he became the head of the patriarch, neither this nor that would work, and I was embarrassed.

There are many kinds of plants on this plain. After I harvested my own barley and wheat, I also organized females and children over ten years old to harvest wild barley and wild wheat on the plain. How to eat, I let them collect first, and then teach them when the time comes. Of course, what they collect must be distributed uniformly. They have eaten deep-fried noodles and are very happy to do these things. Otherwise they would be fine for forty hours a day. In fact, forty hours a day is very good, there are many things that can be done, at least for people like me who are used to 24 hours a day, this is simply a cheat device!

There are almost no dangerous animals on the plain now. Even the remaining groups of bison and wild sheep have moved to a place far away from the tribe or on the opposite plain to live, so females and children don’t have to worry about safety. The individuals harvested together for eight or nine days. On the plain in front of the tribe, they harvested about 30,000 catties of barley and wheat for the tribe. This shows how generous nature is! I love nature.

Of course, everyone comes out every day after they finish their clan affairs. I let them not pick up the ones that fell on the ground, so that they might germinate next year. The barley and wheat we received will be divided into powder by the new stone mill and stone mill made by the family. Of course, because of our family. I planted it, so I asked Luo Lei not to share it with the family.

Although we have more of our own family, it has not caused conflicts among the clan. After all, organizing harvesting, making stone mills and milling flour are all my work, and our family has nothing to do with it. So on the contrary, most of the clansmen also persuaded Luo Lei to share some for our own family (the clansmen are still very cute now), but Luo Lei and I resolutely refused. We don’t lack this thing. The important thing is that the people of the tribe don’t have too many opinions in their hearts. The ancients said that "do not worry about being scarce but not about unevenness." Now everyone has no opinion because these are all benefited from me, and it has been a long time. But it is inevitable that everyone has thoughts in their hearts. Maybe even the previous things can be dug up. There is no need to do this kind of thing. Although this kind of thing is unavoidable that others will say, but I have grown my own benefits, at least I can fight back at others. I think I will still have to work more on my own in the future, and let them divide the clan.

Taking advantage of this year’s momentum, I also left more than 3,000 catties of seeds for barley and wheat to plant them on the plains in spring. I have already planned to start growing food in the clan starting next year. Just eating meat is not good for your health. Now there are more and more people, fewer and fewer prey, and there is not so much meat from prey to eat. Even if it is re-bred, the number of animals born is limited. You can't just look at the prey if you want to fill your stomach. In the past, people used meat as their staple food, and they had to eat some wild vegetables when they were not full. I am afraid that they will have to change slowly in the future. The tribesmen also saw the barley and wheat I planted, and they all agreed.

Because the clan has already prepared reserves for the winter, and the prey that comes back every day is enough for the whole clan to eat up and down for two days, working a little bit or even more, and the hunters in the clan are gradually becoming more familiar with such rigid hunting methods. There are some opinions.

After discussion with the whole clan, it was decided that starting from the beginning of August, the hunters would go out hunting for one day every two days, and on the other day they could do their own activities. If you go out hunting, you only need to divide one-third of the prey into your clan, and you can own the rest. The females, except for feeding livestock, storing food, etc., are arranged by themselves. If they go out, except for the sweet potatoes, potatoes and pumpkins harvested in the same family, they can’t pick them now. All other gains belong to me. If the male accompanies his female to go out, then the two people only need to pay a quarter of the harvest to the clan, and the rest belong to them.

The clansmen also agreed with such a decision. I think so too. As long as the materials are abundant, private ownership becomes inevitable. Otherwise, who wants to do things desperately? But even so, it is everyone's duty to raise the lonely old, single females and children in the tribe, and this is also for the development and continuation of the tribe. Everyone also understands this truth, so there is no objection to the payment of public utilities. It’s just that I’m thinking, how long can the days of hunting together last?

Luo Lei originally said that he was going out with me, but I told him that because we were wasting time, we must seize the time to make up some things, so he resolutely separated from him. He went to catch calves, lambs, small wild boars and so on, while I went to the river to catch fish, wild geese, wild ducks and so on.

In general, our harvest is relatively rich. In addition to the contributions to the family, Luo Lei also caught two calves, three lambs, and eight small wild boars (surviving in the two litters) for the family. In addition, we also Most of the bison, two sheep, and two wild boars were stored, and fortunately, they ate several meals well. On the other hand, I harvested a lot of white radishes and made a lot of dried radishes, and I also harvested some garlic seeds to be used for planting. Next year, I plan to plant some nearby. Of course, the dried radish was made by Rona.

Rona is a very good boy, and he works very hard. When Luo Lei and I came out, he took his brother at home by himself, and cooked some soup for lunch with him. If I dried things out, he took his brother at home. , As long as you tell him to put it away at that time, he will take it back at that time. The few animals in the house ate the grass he drove around the tribe. Later, when there were more and more livestock in the family, he and I went to graze the grass together. However, I did not carry as much grass as him, which made me very much. It's worry-free and sometimes apologetic.

I caught more than 20 long bass, more than 20 yellow croakers, and 50 or 60 ravens by the river and put them in the pool at the door. The pool in the clan kept five times more than this. It doesn’t include the fish that everyone’s own storage does. I also set up traps by the lake to catch a lot of wild geese and wild ducks, cut their wings short, and kept them in the chicken and duck shed at home with their feet tied with ropes.

In the small woods by the long river farther from the tribe, I also found a lot of things that were probably turkeys, but there were no folds of turkeys on their heads. On the contrary, some of them looked like pheasants with feathers, but the hair on the top of their heads. It is red like a fire, and its body is much larger than a pheasant. It runs fast, but it can't fly. I don’t care what the breed is. As long as the meat is edible and delicious, I caught a few of them and kept them in the chicken and duck shed. I told others that they were turkeys because they looked like pheasants, and There are fire-like hairs on the head, of course this is just nonsense, but I am used to calling it that way. If you catch someone else, they will call it whatever they like. It's the same reason why cows are called cows and not horses.

I dare not go any further. Although there are no sharp-horned wolves on the grassland because of the relationship between our people, it is said that there are many wolves on the opposite plain, and there are also flame bears and tooth-eaters in the mountains behind here. It's a kind of beast, so I only walk around in places I am familiar with. Even so, my range of activities is already enough to shock the people!

Around the trees on the grassland, I also picked some loofahs. Some of them climbed onto the trees, and some of them grew like melons and watermelons underground. I picked some of them and cooked them when I went home. They should be loofahs. . I also found some onions. I like onions very much. Especially when they are cooked with meat, the meat will be more fragrant and delicious when cooked with onions. Of course, I also brought some home and tried to eat. In terms of taste and appearance, they are all onions, but the skin is actually khaki. Because there are not many loofahs or onions, I picked some and went home, and planned to keep the rest for retirement, so I didn’t tell anyone.

Luo Lei also knew my habits and didn't say anything, but we still tried to invite the high priest to eat the onion. This is called complicity, ha ha. With the high priest, we can say that this is an experiment to see if these can be eaten. As for whether it can be found, it is not within my control, and the high priest heard me say that there are very few things, and after I plan to save some seeds and plant them on my own, there is no word of such things. I think, in fact, the high priest also understands. Maybe this is his cuteness?

But even so, I still felt all the inconveniences after Luo Lei became the patriarch, at least, I can't be blatantly favoritism! Maybe I should think about how the private system is rationalized...
