The next day, the tribe members came to the rice fields early to protect the rice.

It is obvious that there are many fewer sparrows today, with only a few small groups of sparrows.

However, the tribe members who were sent to the mulberry forest to inspect happily brought back thousands of dead sparrows.

This is what they picked up in the mulberry forest.

Although the sparrows in the mulberry forest are huge in size, and these thousand sparrows are only a small part of the sparrow flock, it can also be seen that the results were good last night.

The "fight" last night was so scared that there were sparrows flying out of the mulberry forest and dying outside the mulberry forest. I don’t know how many sparrows were.

Even if you are not dead and are frightened, you will be weak for a while and you will not be able to continue to harm the rice fields for the time being.

"Fight" and victory!

The tribesmen cheered happily.

The four newly relocated tribes cheered happily as if they were happy.

The rice was saved, and the promise of Fangfeng to support their food in the winter was even more guaranteed.

...

A few days later, the rice was harvested.

The tribe held a grand sacrifice.

Put on offerings, pig's head, dragon's head, deer's head.

At the grave site, on the artificially piled earth platform, the patriarch danced mysterious dances and sang mysterious songs.

The tribe members surrounded by the earthen platform were not as silent as before this time. This time, all tribe members also danced.

This is a grand dance party!

Looking at the pig heads and other sacrifices placed on the altar, Ye Qing discovered a phenomenon that every time the tribe sacrifices, the sacrifices offered by the sacrifices were food.

Looking back, in some modern customs for worshiping ancestors, the offerings seem to be mainly wine, meat, cakes and fruits.

Why is this?

Does food count as the most?

Do the dead and gods also need to eat?

The sacrifices of tribes have not yet formed a standardized system. The sacrifices of sacrifices are not only of different types, but also of fixed time, and even the number is different.

Well, it's just casual!

If you have a disagreement, you will sacrifice yourself!

Someone died and sacrificed, there were things worth celebrating, and there were difficulties that could not be solved...

As for the offering, what is the use of it, eat it after use!

Killing pigs like today is the most solemn sacrifice.

Deer and crocodiles were hunted in advance, while pigs were ready-made by the tribe.

Pigs are boars that Ye Qing chose and eliminated.

In fact, there are only two big boars in the tribe, just choose one of them.

He picked out the more lively and ferocious boar and killed it as a sacrifice.

The other boar was relatively lazy and docile, so it was kept as a breeding pig.

Sows are not killed. If a tribe wants to develop pig breeding, a few sows are very precious.

As for the cows, the clan members are reluctant to kill them. Now the clan members know the importance of cows, and there are too many places where they can use cows.

In the eyes of the tribe, the cow is already equal to the dog.

And dogs will not kill them, unless they encounter a major disaster and people cannot survive, they will kill dogs to satisfy their hunger.

After singing and dancing, the tribe members rushed to the rice fields.

Cut rice!

Cultivating rice is effective and everyone goes to battle.

The rice varieties at this time were not as good as modern times. The rice was easily shedded when it matured, and the grain felling ability was relatively strong.

Unlike modern rice, where the grain-falling properties are completely lost, mature rice will be harvested for a few days or ten days at night, and there is no big problem.

Four hundred acres of land, 1,000 people came to battle together.

The newly moved tribe was also hired.

Their participation in harvesting rice is employed, and their labor will be converted into rice, which will be deducted from the rice they return next year.

The management of these four tribes is nominally independent. The interaction between the Fangfeng family and these four tribes takes the form of employment and settles the rice.

Because it is independent, the tools, food, etc. borrowed by the four tribes also have to pay for rice as a cost and return it.

Currently, the four tribes are in debt.

The tribe members rushed into the rice fields with joy, waved their golden sickles, and clumps of rice fell down.

It didn't take long to leave a large area of ​​neat rice stubble in the rice fields behind me.

In the empty rice fields, several threshers began to be trampled by the tribe members.

That's right, threshing machine!

The power of the threshing machine is still foot-pedal.

Without modern processing methods, the threshing machine looks very bulky and it is very laborious to step on.

However, no matter how hard it is, it is much easier and faster than manual smashing.

The threshing machine was the strongest people in the tribes such as Sang and Manniu, and some children specially carried the rice harvested by the tribe members in front and piled them up.

They don’t need to walk around. They just stand in place and step on the threshing machine’s foot pedal while stretching handfuls of rice onto the threshing machine’s drum. The surface of the drum is filled with short teeth made of bamboo. The rotating drum will comb and scrape the rice off the rice.

Taicang carried handfuls of rice seeds and piled them beside Mulberry. Every time, he looked at the exit in front of the threshing machine with extreme curiosity.

There is a bucket at the exit in front of the thresher. The rice splashed out from the exit hit the baffle of the bucket and fell into the bucket.

Seeing a lot of rice piled up in the bucket, Taicang would stop transporting rice and happily load the rice with another friend.

One of them held the gourd ladle and the other took the straw bag and put the rice in the bucket into the straw bag.

It is temporary to pack rice in straw bags.

The straw bag was originally intended to be used when building a dam, but now it comes in handy first.

With the rope making machine, it is very convenient to rub straw ropes. When he thought of building a dam, Ye Qing asked his tribe members to wove a lot of straw bags.

Use straw bags in some key places, and the dam will be stronger.

When the tribe members knew that this was used to fill soil, they didn't understand it.

Such a beautiful bag is so luxurious to hold soil. In the past, there were such bags that could be worn as clothes.

However, the clan members have long been accustomed to Qing's magic. Since Qing said he wanted to use such a good straw bag to fill the soil, it must be his reason.

After packing the bags of rice, a tribe soon carried back to the tribe and then fell on the huge square that had been flat in the middle of the new village.

Many women with big belly bring some children and use various tools to spread the rice poured on the ground to flatten the scorching sun.

Whenever a tribe member carries the rice back, the children will happily rush to him and rush to peel off the poured rice.

When I was idle, many children were still rolling on the spread rice and "climbing" the piles of rice.

It’s so happy!

There are so many rice that they can lie down and so many that they can crawl!

As for chasing and playing, there are many children who use sprinkled rice as a water battle.

You sprinkle me, I sprinkle you.

They had a great time.

The glutinous stadium was filled with the cheerful laughter of children.

Those women touched their stomachs and watched the children play with laughter, and occasionally scolded and stopped some naughty children's excessive behavior.

The child in the belly is lucky!

When born, you will never be starved or killed by lack of food or milk!

The weather is very good and the sun is shining brightly.

After three days, the rice is harvested, and after three days, all the rice is dried and put into the warehouse.

The 80 cubic granary is full!

Without a scale, I don’t know the specific weight of rice, but it is no less than 80 tons.

It is calculated that each acre is no less than 400 kilograms! Of course, this is a large acre of 1,200 square meters.

A great harvest!

After the rice was entered into the warehouse, Ye Qing completely relieved. With these rice that could be stored for a long time, the food of the tribe members was fully guaranteed.
Chapter completed!
