88 Slash and burn

How many cows were there? Later, the Spaniards were so tired of killing cows that they only took the tongue, butter and other ingredients that were most valuable at the time. As for other kinds of beef,

I couldn't get enough of it anymore, and there was too much cowhide to use up, so after removing the beef tongue and butter, I simply discarded the beef, cowhide, and beef bones.

What kind of 'prodigal' is this? He is simply a prodigal son of a tyrant who spends extravagantly. No wonder the Spaniards declined so quickly!

Xiao Feng did not have the luxury of the Spaniards, and he did not intend to waste any of the endless buffalo herds in the wilderness. At present, except for the cowhide, which could not be used, he made the best use of everything else that could be used.

Even the beef and eggs, he asked the chef in the store to make them into braised food, and then packaged them in vacuum bags, and asked Katya to sell them on the online store. Not to mention, the sales volume was really good, even though the prices were high.

For a set of several hundred yuan, there are quite a lot of people who can spend it, and there was even a situation where supply exceeded demand.

Before Bloom led the team to set off, Xiao Feng also gave him two other instructions. One of them was to see if there were any other valuable wild animals on the prairie.

For example, wild horses, wild sheep, or wild boars will do. As long as they are found, he will catch a batch and bring them back. He will try to raise some animals in captivity, especially since there are a few herdsmen among the Toulon people who can raise cattle and horses.

He had been coveting the horses brought by the Toulon cavalry for a long time. They were all good horses. Although he had not ridden them much, he could tell that they were good horses just by looking at their appearance. Moreover, on the battlefield that day,

He has seen the performance of these war horses.

In terms of load-carrying capacity, sprinting ability, and endurance, any one of them in his world can kill most horses in his world instantly.

Therefore, the number of war horses must be expanded. Even if they are not brought back to his world, even if they are only used in this world, the production efficiency of his tribe can be greatly improved.

The reason why they dared to let Broome lead the team out of the mountain col this time and return to the wilderness where they originally hunted the buffalo herds was because of the war horses brought by the Toulon people.

With these horses, Broome and the others can travel several times faster, and the hunted bison can be loaded directly onto the carriage, reducing the hunter's load and speeding up the transportation.

This time, Broome and the others took away all the carriages, including the few newly built carriages that Xiao Feng had ordered. There were twenty carriages in total, and they took them all away, along with all the horses.

While the weather is still cold, the beef will not spoil so quickly. They can go there for seven or eight days this time. When they come back, they should be able to fill all the carriages and bring back about forty tons of cattle.

After all, the carriages in this world are relatively primitive and do not have particularly good tires. Each carriage can carry two tons of beef, which Xiao Feng estimates is the limit.

After Bloom led the team away, Xiao Feng turned his attention to rice seedlings. After all, those Toulon farmers had never grown rice as a crop before. Although they knew how to raise seedlings, to what extent did they raise the seedlings and when to transplant them?

These all need to be guided by Xiao Feng.

Before Xiao Feng came, he bought a CD and many books on agriculture and learned how to cultivate rice and other crops.

It's time for him to pretend to be a seedling expert again and teach these natives the technology of rice seedling cultivation!

Fortunately, the farmers in Toulon were quite experienced. They first took many native apprentices and began to choose the location of the nursery fields.

Because the weather outside was still relatively cold, the native farmers found a place in the cave to stay warm and sheltered from the wind, built several large fire pits, and obtained a large amount of humus soil from under the forest trees outside.

In several nursery fields, a large amount of plant ash was burned and buried in the soil to ensure the fertility of the soil. Then the soil was watered and the seeds were thrown into the moist soil.

Although the process was very extensive, under Xiao Feng's guidance, there was nothing wrong with the overall process. Maybe it was good luck, or maybe the soil here was fertile enough. Within a few days, the seeds actually broke through and sprouted.

A bunch of green seedlings came out.

Xiao Feng took advantage of the seedlings before they grew too high, and quickly directed the farmers to take the natives to the rivers that gathered in the mountains outside, selected a few flat pieces of land, and began to level the land again, build ridges, and plow the land to burn wasteland.

Then, the pond mud was dug out from the nearby creek and filled into the land. It was plowed and plowed continuously every day so that the pond mud and the soil could be effectively combined. At the same time, a large amount of plant ash was mixed in, which would be used again at night.

The plastic film he brought from the modern world covered the land, allowing the land to effectively retain heat and ferment, causing various chemical reactions to occur, ensuring the fertility of the land.

Fortunately, he left behind a few war horses brought by the Toulon people. With the help of these war horses and the modern agricultural tools he brought, the efficiency of plowing and cultivating the land was greatly improved.

Maybe it's because the land in this world is too fertile. In his world, rice seedlings take dozens of days to grow, but here, after the seeds break out of their shells and emerge, the seedlings grow over a foot tall in just a few days. Xiao Feng saw that

He was dumbfounded. This was too fast. He was completely unexpected! There were too many things in this world that subverted his common sense, but after encountering them more often, he became numb and accustomed to them.

After a few days, the weather got completely warmer, and the rice seedlings grew taller and taller. He asked people to open ponds and release water, divert the water from the creek to the collected fields, and then inserted the nearly grown rice seedlings into the paddy fields.

.

Although Xiao Feng learned the techniques of planting rice from instructional videos and books, after all, he was only a half-timer and could not even reach the level of an expert. He could only say that he had followed other people's tutorials, so he could not guarantee that.

Can these rice be grown successfully?

Of course, if the planting can be successful, that would be the best. If not, it doesn't matter. After all, purchasing food from the modern world is not expensive, and he can still support the tribe's need to eat.

On the other hand, Xiao Feng did not let go of the golden sands by the river. He still asked Friday to organize some women and children to go to the river to wash the golden sands, although the water was still bitingly cold at this time.

But Xiao Feng has no humane spirit at all. I have raised you all this winter, and I have raised you all fat and white. It’s time to do something.
