Chapter 246 Harvesting Wheat
The fragrance filled the fields and the fields were golden. Wang Yang couldn't help but breathe heavily...
It's finally time for a good harvest.
He squatted down and looked at the ears of wheat. He saw golden fruit grains that were already full. He stretched out his hand and gently wiped it into his hand. The shell floated down, revealing the beige tender flesh inside.
Wang Yang threw it directly into his mouth and chewed it hard for a few times. With the sound of Titicaca, the wheat grains were chewed to pieces. The rich wheat fragrance mixed with a sticky feeling came, just like eating unripe cucumbers and persimmons, and there was a layer of powder on his tongue.
"Too much powder..." Wang Yang frowned slightly. It tasted pretty good raw, but it just felt a bit dry.
He was still very happy and peeled some to eat. The taste was naturally not comparable to the meat he liked the most, but just eating this way, he seemed to have eaten the most delicious thing in the world.
A year of hard work, coupled with the migration time, took three years to achieve immediate results.
This place of settlement is not good. If it is mainly metals, construction, or animal husbandry, it is not good. It can be seen from the fact that Wang Yang did not plan to stay here at the beginning.
Why are there no fragrant grass everywhere in the world? Is it because I found wheat here?
It is a good message for Wang Yang, who does not understand agriculture, that wheat can grow here.
And he and everyone can cultivate wheat to survive without having to face the struggle with the beasts.
Most importantly, a stable life can take more time to study other things, which is relatively unstable to hunt for food. This method is easier to let Wang Yang take a few breaths.
Although eating meat is good, it takes time to hunt every day. It also requires a lot of troublesome air-drying, smoked and stored, which hinders the progress of the entire tribe.
But stable agriculture is different. People only need to harvest in fixed seasons, sow in fixed seasons, and remove weeds in fixed seasons. Everyone is idle for the rest of the time and can mobilize all their labor.
Isn’t it just that I used to get charcoal and clay to get it?
Of course, if there is a better land that is close to the clay forest metal mine, you will naturally laugh.
Wang Yang did not expect too much. In the past two years, he also realized that it may be difficult to encounter a better place if he keeps going. Either lack this or that. Life is short for decades, don’t waste all your time on migration.
Now that wheat has been planted, it is a way to live by it, so I have fulfilled my wish and let go of one thing and focus on developing other things.
Everyone ran over happily, imitating Wang Yang to pick a bunch of wheat ears, rub the shells in his hands, throw the wheat grains into his mouth and chewed them.
They frowned, with strange expressions and different expressions. It seemed... this taste was not very good.
But the same thing is true. For those who are not picky about food at the moment, no matter what its taste is, as long as it is not poisonous and can be eaten.
Thinking of this, they were in a much better mood.
Wang Yang returned to the open space and waved to them. After they all gathered around him, he immediately explained the way to harvest wheat.
He drew a picture and asked everyone to cut wheat, either pinched the ears of wheat, or cut some with a stone knife, but he must not pull it out.
Everyone frowned and didn't say anything.
Wang Yang looked at them suspiciously, not knowing whether they understood it. It is not difficult to understand, so why did he frown?
He was afraid that things would be broken, so he took everyone to the wheat field and demonstrated it himself. He put it into the wheat ears, or cut a section with them, threw it into the animal skin bag, and then took it back to the open space when it was filled.
"It's very simple, do you understand?"
Everyone still looked suspiciously, and the expeller was a little hesitant, not knowing whether to ask.
Many times, Wang Yang has considered all the things he asked, but it doesn’t make any practical sense to ask himself. So should he ask or not? I remembered that Wang Yang was forced to get angry by the questions from him and others a while ago, and cursed him aside. He struggled very much.
In the end, he didn't ask.
Wang Yang asked them to harvest, and he summoned his friends to teach them to sift out the wheat grains and then store them.
The friends came to him and sat obediently on the ground, listening carefully to what he was going to give next.
Wang Yang took a bunch of ears, put the wheat grains between his fingers and clamped them. He pulled them forward and the wheat grains fell down one by one.
Put it in your hand and squeeze it softly for a few times, and the shells on the outside will fall off.
Then put the Yingguo into a bag and put it into the built tunnel-shaped granary.
The friends had no objection and nodded.
Wang Yang smiled with satisfaction and felt very relieved. These new generation little guys have very spiritual surnames and have innate advantages in accepting images.
Perhaps they need to look at pictures from birth, so they don’t need to be a dummy at all, as if they can look at pictures and draw pictures when they are born.
This change allowed Wang Yang to see hope and the future.
He took some over, and the friends clumsily recalled Wang Yang's actions, and then did it slowly, and after a while he became familiar with it.
Wang Yang nodded secretly and looked at the wheat field. It was thanks to the great difference between wheat, barley and a series of rice and grains, which made it easier for everyone to obtain fruit.
The difference is that after ripening, the wheat fruit and shell are separated and will fall off with a slight touch, while the grains are sticky and tightly sticky. It is very troublesome to easily obtain the rice grains in it, and it requires wasting more manpower and material resources.
While he was sighing at the special part of wheat, he saw everyone laughing and calling each other to pull the wheat.
He nodded with satisfaction, suddenly looked at him, feeling something was wrong, and suddenly thought of the key point: "They are pulling out wheat! Pulling out wheat! Didn't I just tell me to just harvest wheat or pinch wheat ears?"
With a calm face, Wang Yang called everyone and asked them why they had pulled the wheat?
When everyone saw that his face was not very good-looking, they did not dare to hide it. They expressed that they were pulled out more quickly. They had experience in plucking weeds from the wheat field.
Wang Yang pursed his lips and understood that pinching wheat ears one by one is far less than grabbing two big hands and lifting more than a dozen plants quickly. However, those straws also have their own uses and can be used as fertilizer to provide nutrients to the land. In this era, in addition to "human yellow", natural fertilizers are a pity to waste.
There is a saying that I have never eaten pork, have I seen pigs running? Wang Yang's first time growing wheat, so he naturally has shortcomings in his ability, but this is not the first time he has seen planting and harvesting. When he saw him in the countryside, his grandfather didn't pull it out. Now that he has done it himself, he naturally can't pull it out!
