After arranging ten Wu tribe workers, Xu Chen took Gu Heju and others to the mountain with tools to dig yam.

You can take your time to build a wall. As long as there is enough stones, one month is enough for him to complete the work. In addition, there is still enough lime for building a wall. The kiln factory is also stepping up the firing. These are not urgent, so you can only follow the progress one by one.

In recent months, Xu Chen has already visited all the nearby hillsides. Although he can't find the place by closing his eyes, he still remembers clearly the location of several large yams he had noticed before.

Primitive people did not take yam, not because yams could not be taken, but because yams grew in deep soil and could not be dug out without hand-made tools.

In addition to the current climatic conditions and natural environment, plants and animals are rich and diverse. As long as you work hard to collect and hunt, you will not be short of food. Therefore, there is no need for these primitive people to dig yam to satisfy your hunger.

However, in order to calm Mother Ba's worries, he decided to dig a nest of yams so that she could know that there would not be a reduction in grain reserves just because there were ten more people.

These wild yams have sufficient starch content and are of great medicinal value. They can be used as food and replenish qi and strengthen kidneys.

Among some Taoist and medical classics in China, eating yam for a long time can help you improve your body and prolong your life. It is one of the favorite foods of hermits who practice immortality and ask about Taoism.

At present, these yams have grown for dozens or hundreds of years. If they take them, they can become immortals. Xu Chen probably has enough people in a cave to ascend collectively.

However, these yams were so deep that it took the three of them a full day to slowly dig out the roots of the yam, which were the size of eggs, and with the help of a relatively steep terrain, they dug out a pit half a kiln.

Although the workload is high and the fatigue is like a dog, the harvest makes people feel numb.

Just this nest of yam far exceeds Xu Chen's estimated profits.

As yams with thick arms and even twisted legs were dug out of the soil, a large pile of long and short yam tubers slowly piled up on the hillside, Xu Chen became more and more surprised and surprised.

This nest of yam is not the largest nest he has discovered, but it is a relatively close to the foot of the mountain and the best excavation location.

But the yam rhizomes buried deep in the soil are like endless, stacked and crisscrossed in the soil like pythons, so the area excavated by the three of them could only continue to expand.

As the sun slowly sets westward, it is about four o'clock in the afternoon, and the three of them finally stop.

I haven't finished digging yet, but I can't dig anymore.

The yam dug out is at least 300 kilograms.

The three of them were so tired that they couldn't lift their hoes at all, and they were so hungry that their chests were pressed against their backs, and their energy was completely exhausted.

"Let's go, carry these yams down the mountain first!"

After a while of rest, the three of them went down the mountain with a basket full of yams on their backs.

However, they could only carry dozens of kilograms at a time, so the three of them kept carrying back and forth four times before finally carrying all the dug out yam down the mountain.

At this time, the sun was about to set, the hunting team had returned, and the people who moved stones, cut trees and laid bricks were also gradually returning to the kiln factory.

Mother Ba carried all the animal skins harvested from the transaction today to the cave to store them, and then carried a lot of oatmeal, beans and other miscellaneous grains. When he saw Xu Chen and the other two carrying so many yams back and forth, Mother Ba's mood suddenly turned to joy, and hugged the three of them and praised them.

Yam can be eaten, especially after roasting, it is soft, glutinous and strong, and has a sweet taste. Adults and children like to eat it. It is also delicious to cook porridge, stew meat, stew bones and put some more.

In the past, Xu Chen dug a small nest as a reserve of medicinal materials, but said that this thing is difficult to dig. When it is slowly done in winter, Moba and others didn't care too much about it. There is no shortage of food this year. Since it is difficult to dig, there is no need to dig it back.

But unexpectedly, when she was worried that there were too many people and there was a shortage of food, Xu Chen actually dug so many people in one day.

This large pile of yam alone is enough for the entire tribe to eat for several days. Coupled with some other grains and hunting harvests, whether roasted or cooked, it perfectly makes up for the lack of food.

Mother Ba was happy, and naturally everyone in the entire tribe was happy.

Recently, Mother Ba's mood is a little unstable, and the tribe members are actually a little cautious. But today, the Wu tribe not only came to exchange a lot of animal skins, but also harvested so many delicious yams as food. So the entire kiln factory was in a warm atmosphere at sunset, and they laughed loudly in front of the bonfire and exchanged some news between the two tribes, while waiting for dinner to begin.

Feng led the hunting team with Xu Chen's serious explanation and worked hard today and gained a lot.

A wild sheep, a pig and badger, and two hares, add up to nearly a hundred kilograms of meat. After removing the skin, flesh and internal organs, there are still dozens of kilograms.

Some of them are sent up the mountain to those who stay on the mountain for food.

Some of them are processed on site in the kiln factory. The rabbits and pork badgers are small in size and are directly on the shelf and grilled. The wild sheep are selected and chopped into minced meat and cooked. The remaining meat bones are smashed into pieces and then put into a clay pot and simmered slowly.

After peeling some yam, cook it with minced meat, and throw it into the bonfire and barbecue.

As a strong aroma of food began to emanate in the evening breeze, everyone's emotions became more and more intense.

Especially the ten remaining Wu people, looking at the gusting and breathing pots and smelling the increasingly strong aroma of food, the Adam's apples kept swaying and swallowing saliva.

In the past, they looked down on the Ba people.

The number of people is small and poor. Not only do the entire tribe have only a few dozen people, but most men are weak, almost the weakest of the five tribes.

However, at this meeting of the Witch Lord, the Ba tribe made a big splash and completely reversed its position of being despised by other tribes. Instead, it defeated the Wu tribe and became the target of warm pursuit by all tribes. Xu Chen's reputation was even more than that of the Great Witch.

Cooking food in crock pots is now a feature of the Wu tribe, and other tribes can only envy and jealous. However, from today on, they can also eat this hot, soft and fragrant food every day, and enjoy treatment that other tribes cannot enjoy.

When bowls of hot coarse grains poured with minced meat were delivered to your hands and a few mouthfuls of fragrant and delicious food were eaten, the Wu people instantly burst into tears.

A few dogs are too hot.

But even if it is burned to death, I can't bear to vomit.

Some people even began to feel that as long as you can eat these hot and delicious food every day, it doesn’t matter if you are tired, it’s worth it.

Xu Chen was also secretly happy to see these Wu people who were enjoying food on their faces and having enthusiastic exchanges and interactions with the Ba people.

A few bowls of porridge, a few pieces of roasted yam, and a few broken pottery can fool a group of strong laborers. This is definitely a good deal. As long as they are satisfied with their current life, they will use it as animals and make it all.
