Traveling through ancient times: Savages are hungry for food

Chapter 258 Plowing

Day two.

The two men began to make a plow under the bamboo shed in the square.

The plowshare has been assembled, now we need to assemble the plowshare and the plowshare.

You need to make a plow handle at the top of the plow tip. This is simple and can be done in no time.

Then make a hollow groove on the plow tip near the handle, fit the top of the plow beam into the groove, and assemble the plow beam and plow tip together.

After the top of the plow shaft is inserted into this groove, a short piece of wood is used to hammer in the hole left and lock it.

At this time, there is a hole at the end of the plow shaft, and a short piece of wood is embedded in it to serve as a rope bolt.

Next up is the back brace.

Because there were no cows in the tribe, they could only use donkeys to pull the cart. However, the donkeys in ancient times were larger than modern cows, so they were definitely strong enough.

The donkey's backrest should be shaped to fit the donkey's neck. A V-shaped backrest is ideal. A hole is placed on each side of the wood for the rope. Another slightly V-shaped piece of wood should be made to tie to the rope bolt at the bottom of the plowshaft.

The core was made in less than half an hour.

Connect the back clip and the piece of wood with a rope. The rope is shaped like a paperclip. Sang Tian first inserted one end of the rope into a hole on one side of the back frame, then tied it to the right end of the other V-shaped wood, then pulled it over to tie the left end, and finally tied the end to the other hole in the back frame.

This ancient plow is ready.

……

As the sun reached its zenith, the females who had gone out to open up the wasteland returned.

When we started plowing the bottom yesterday, Lan sent the females to open up a large wilderness on the right side of the forest across the tribal river.

This wilderness area was really large. Sang Tian felt that it was definitely as big as seven or eight Sirius Squares.

The straight-line distance to one Sirius Square takes ten minutes, not to mention seven or eight Sirius Squares! Just walking the straight-line distance would take more than an hour!

The most important thing is that there is a stream at the junction of the wilderness and the forest. It is about one and a half meters wide and only up to Sang Tian's calf.

It is very convenient to use for irrigating crops!

It's relatively flat, with not many trees, but rather sparse ones. There are a lot of shrubs, which require a lot of effort from the flower tribe to deal with.

Yesterday, I used hard-toothed leaves to treat the trees and shrubs in the entire open space. Today, I spent half a day digging out their roots to facilitate cultivation.

When they learned that He had already made the plow, everyone came to see it curiously.

"So this is what a plow does! The backpack is placed on the beast's back, and when it pulls hard, the sharp plowshares at the back break up the soil! That loosens the soil!"

"As expected of you, San, you can think of something like this. We just need to lead the beast and guide it in the right direction. It's effortless!"

"He is so meticulously crafted! He is probably the only one in our tribe who can make something like this!"

Ru asked, "Sang, when do we start plowing the land? Let's all go and take a look."

Sang Tian smiled faintly and said, "Let's start in the afternoon. The weather isn't warm enough yet, so many plants haven't reached planting time yet. We can only plant a few vegetables and cultivate a little land for now. One afternoon is enough!"

"Okay, okay, let's go and see it then!"

……

Sang Tian returned to the cave and cooked bamboo shoot soup with five cured fish. She ate half of the fish for herself and drank a lot of the soup. She fed the remaining four and a half to Ping An and Xi Le.

After eating and drinking enough, I slept soundly for an hour and a half before going down the stone mountain.

He and Hai each led a donkey, and they would take turns plowing the field so that they wouldn't get too tired.

He carried the plow on his back and went to the open space that had been cleared by his tribe.

After arriving at the place, Sang Tian placed the backpack on the donkey's neck, and then tied another piece of wood to the rope bolt of the plow.

A whole plow is completely connected together.

He stationed himself at the very edge of the wilderness and began to lead the donkey along the area marked by Sang Tian.

The plowshare went halfway into the ground, and with every step the donkey took, the plowshare would poke through the ground and break up the earth.

Pieces of land were divided up, some small and some large.

However, this is the first time to open up the land, so it still needs to be plowed back and forth several times to ensure that the soil is soft and fine.

Sang Tian stood under the tree, looking at the vast open space.

The plowing ox...oh no, the plowing donkey was wagging its tail and walking slowly forward on the grass that had just sprouted new shoots.

An indescribable feeling surged in Sang Tian's heart.

This open space lay peacefully within the embrace of an ancient giant. As the sun set in the west, its golden rays shone upon the tilled soil, as if covering it with a golden veil.

A gentle breeze blew by, carrying a hint of warmth. In the forest behind me, the treetops swayed, creating ripples like the rolling ocean. The budding yellow-green branches swayed in the wind...

Taking what you know and have learned, and applying it in practice, gives this ancient land an opportunity for civilization.

I am really changing this ancient land step by step.

It promoted the humanistic process of the tribal era gradually moving towards agricultural civilization.

It seems as if I have integrated into this land and have taken deep roots.

Before she knew it, the sun had already set. A brilliant sunset glow filled the sky, tinting the entire open field a crimson hue. She stood in the center of the field, watching the sun slowly descend.

But tomorrow and tomorrow, the sun will rise again.

……

After four or five hours of plowing back and forth, the soil marked by Sang Tian had become loose and fine.

That's totally fine!

This piece of land usually grows some trees and shrubs, with not many fallen leaves and average fertility.

However, crops have never been grown on a large scale for a long period of time, so the fertility is more than enough to provide support.

However, Sang Tian still planned to spread the animal feces that had been piled up in the animal farm for several months for three days.

After all, I haven't grown crops much, so I might as well put the fertilizer in place first.

Moreover, the animal farm is now full of manure, so it is waiting to be spread on the ground to make room when Sang starts planting crops.

Lin was originally playing in the water with a few kids by the stream. When he heard Sang say this, he ran over.

"Sister Sang, leave this job to us! We will ensure that the task is completed!"

Sang Tian half-knelt down and touched Lin's head, then asked with a smile, "Are you all right?"

Lin pouted and said angrily, "Who are you looking down on, Sister Sang? I'm already ten years old! There's not much land to plow, it's just spreading manure! We have more than 30 children in our tribe! Why not?"

Sang Tian looked at the tribesmen and it seemed that no one had any objections.

Lin's mother Yu also smiled and said, "I'll leave it to you. You have to do a good job."

That's true. In modern times, ten-year-old children are the most precious treasures in the family, but in ancient times, ten-year-old children had already been trained to hunt and fight...

They compromised. There were indeed many children in the tribe, so they could accomplish it.

"Okay then, make sure to spread it evenly. Remember to ask the tribesmen to do it when you can't do it anymore, don't force it!"

"okay!"

……

A large group of people and two donkeys slowly returned to the tribe as the sun set, their shadows stretching out very long...
