I am the chief of a primitive tribe

After eating the corn, Mu Feng no longer needed to explain, Ming Guang and Li Hu already understood the use of corn.

Li Hu said with a beaming face: "Great Chief, I see you still have so many corn seeds here, why don't we plant another piece of corn right away, so that we will have more corn to eat!"

Mu Feng smiled and shook his head: "These corn kernels are no longer suitable for seeds!"

"Why?" Li Hu asked, "Didn't you keep these corn kernels as seeds?"

"No need now!" Mu Feng said with a smile, "These corn kernels are too small, and the corn ears grown as seeds are also small. You can see that the corn kernels we planted are very large. If we use them as seeds, the corn grown will be even larger!"

"Is that so!" Li Hu still didn't understand, "Why will there be big corn in the future if the corn kernels are big?"

Mu Feng was a little speechless. How should he explain "heredity" to Ming Guang?

Should he tell him directly that "Dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, and mice's children can dig holes?"

Or "you reap what you sow"?

However, it seems that none of the explanations can make Li Hu understand. He scratched his head and was still organizing words.

But this time, Mingguang rescued him. He imitated Li Hu's attitude towards him just now and knocked Li Hu: "The chief said to do this, you just do it, why so much nonsense!"

"Ha!" Mu Feng was happy and almost laughed out loud.

Now it was Li Hu's turn to be embarrassed. He scratched his head and said, "Yes!"

Seeing that the problem was solved by himself, Mu Feng nodded and said seriously, "Okay, that's it. The corn on the second-layer protective wall can be broken and eaten now. But be careful not to break the piece near the foot of Nanshan Mountain. Wait until they are fully mature before breaking them off to save seeds!"

"As for the other places, break as much as you can eat, and don't eat them every meal!"

"What if that piece is not enough to eat?" Li Hu asked.

"If there is not enough to eat, we have to leave a piece for seeds!" Mu Feng said seriously, "If there are enough seeds, we can make another piece of land in the west and plant corn!"

"Such a large piece of land, and the hunting team will not participate in the labor. I am afraid that our people will be too busy!" Li Hu said worriedly.

"Don't we have slaves?" Mu Feng said coldly, "I captured them to work. If I don't use them now, when do I plan to use them?"

"But aren't they going to build a protective wall on the periphery?" Li Hu asked again.

"Put aside the protective wall first!" Mu Feng said in a deep voice, "Let them dig out the land for me first, and planting is important!"

"But if that happens, the slaves will be unprotected..." Li Hu hesitated.

"They are just slaves!" Mu Feng raised his eyes and said, "Only if our Jiang clan members live better, they can live! Otherwise, because they attacked us first, they would have died long ago!"

"I understand!" Li Hu nodded seriously.

"Okay!" Mu Feng nodded again and said, "After breaking the corn, don't throw away the stalks. Cut them and send them to the sheepfold to feed the sheep!"

"Yes!"

"In addition, arrange some people in the tribe who can work but have nothing to do for the time being, and let them go to the back mountain to peel the bark of the mulberry tree." Mu Feng ordered.

"Peel the bark?" Now the three of them were confused.

Li Hu asked: "Chief, what do you peel the bark of the mulberry tree for?"

"Rope!" Mu Feng organized it and simplified it as much as possible. "Han Shu told me that there are not enough animal tendons, but the tribe needs more and more ropes now, and animal tendons alone are not enough. Let's use mulberry bark instead!"

"But how can mulberry bark replace animal tendons? It's not long enough and tough enough." Mingguang also spoke at this time.

"Peel off the bark of the mulberry tree and let it dry first, scrape off the outer skin, soak it in water, rub it repeatedly, dry it again, and then use the method of rubbing animal tendons to make a rope."

"Is this... okay?" Mingguang looked at Lihu, and then the two nodded to Mufeng, "Yes!"

Because Mufeng would not speak without a purpose, there is nothing he can't do until now!

"Yes, it must be possible!" Mufeng said with a smile, "Now use the bark of the mulberry tree to make a rope, I will go out soon to see if I can find hemp crops."

"Hemp?" Lihu suddenly remembered that when Mingguang came back the day before yesterday, he excitedly told him: the chief wanted to make linen clothes for everyone in the tribe.

Now that Mufeng mentioned this again, does it mean that the people of the tribe will be able to wear linen clothes soon?

"Chief, what does hemp crop look like?" Lihu became excited, "Why don't you tell us, we go out to find it, the more people there are, the greater the possibility of finding it!"

Mufeng's eyes lit up, and he agreed with what Lihu said. If he goes out to look for it alone, it will definitely be worse thanThe more people go, the faster it will come.

The key is that the tribesmen don't know ramie, so how can he describe the appearance of ramie to them?

"It would be great if I could have paper to draw it!" Mu Feng thought.

Although he is not a painter, he still has basic painting skills, so it is not a problem to draw a picture of ramie.

The key is that he doesn't even have paper now, what can he do?

"I can only try it first!" He thought about it and described it to the two people, "The leaves of ramie are a bit like the leaves of paper mulberry, but not as big as the leaves of paper mulberry, and the leaves are serrated!"

"Serrated?" The two looked at each other with confusion.

Mu Feng slapped his head: "My brain!"

As he said that, he picked up a branch and started drawing on the ground.

First the leaves of ramie, then the rhizomes of ramie.

Even the flowers and fruits of ramie were roughly outlined to facilitate the understanding of the two.

Li Hu, Ming Guang, and Chang Ning all felt it was amazing to see Mu Feng drawing ramie stroke by stroke.

In their opinion, the chieftain could draw ramie with branches, which was no different from the legendary god.

"Chieftain, I seem to have seen something like this!" Ming Guang scratched his head and said, "But I can't think of where I have seen it now."

"Uh..." Mu Feng was speechless. Ming Guang's situation was the same as that of many people.

It felt very familiar, but if you really think about it carefully, you can't tell why.

Mu Feng frowned and thought carefully before saying, "Ramie usually grows in valleys, on the edge of the woods or on grassy slopes!"

"Valleys, on the edge of the woods?"

Mu Feng had no choice but to generalize again: "Our tribe is located between two or three mountains, which is a valley. But we don't have that here, so we go to the edge of the woods or on grassy slopes! The edge of the woods is the edge of the jungle, where it intersects with the grassland. The last is the gentle slope, which is mostly green grass..."

Ming Guang listened, frowned and thought carefully, and after a while his eyes suddenly lit up: "I remember it!"
