Good luck with koi carp

When everyone arrives at their destination, they will still lament that the journey was too smooth.

Nothing major happened, just...

It was just smooth.

Because it went so smoothly, when they arrived at their destination, it was a little earlier than expected.

What was supposed to be a month's journey turned into twenty-five days.

But they don't know that everyone's good luck comes from Chili becoming the clan leader. Before, her good luck only benefited her old father who is related to her by blood and people close to her. Now Chili has become the clan leader. After that, her people were automatically judged as people protected by her blessings, so they were also given a lucky halo.

Although the good luck that everyone has been assigned is not as incredible as Chi Li's, who can get whatever they want, it still clearly makes everyone feel that their luck has improved a lot recently.

Chili, who has hidden merit and fame, passed by the crowd.

After arriving at the destination, it does not mean that you can directly select a specific address. You also need to go through an on-site inspection.

In order to improve efficiency, Chili asked Simon's father to fly her around the entire mountain, and finally selected the tribe's settlement location in an area with flat terrain and abundant water resources.

After leading the tribe here, Chili looked at this future new home with satisfaction.

This is a plain area at the foot of the mountain. A river winds down from the mountain. There is abundant water in all seasons. Due to the long-term erosion of the river, a lot of sediment accumulates in the lower reaches of the river. Over time, a large area of ​​land is formed that is conducive to planting. Fertile land.

And there is not just one water source around. If you walk a little further, you can see another river meandering through from a distance, bringing another abundant water source. There are some irregularly distributed water sources around the two main rivers. Small streams, with many aquatic creatures living in them.

Chili saw a lot of river shrimps in one of the creeks. It may be that they have not been fished for a long time, or it may be due to the special effects of the world. The shrimps here are very big. Chili stretched out his hand and gestured. , and found that any shrimp must be as big as her palm.

When I have time later, I will make a shrimp net and come over to catch some shrimps to eat. Chi Li wiped the non-existent saliva from the corner of her mouth.

In addition to ample water sources and large areas of fertile land, there are many animals living nearby, both on the mountains and under the mountains, which can be used as food supplies for the initial settlement of the group.

Other natural resources are also abundant, waiting for their exploration.

But before that, we still need to take care of the place where we live.

"This is our new home in the future."

Chili summoned all the clan members, took out a map, put it on a huge rock, and drew a rough direction on it: "We are new here, and we need to build a shelter that can protect us from wind and rain first. I plan to build a big house here. , first use it to survive the initial construction stage, and after everything begins to take shape, we will build each of you your own small home..."

He explained his plan in detail to the tribesmen. Afraid that they might not understand, Chi Li used a brush dipped in paint juice to paint on the blank spaces on the stone while he was talking.

This boulder is huge, like an erected giant egg. One side is smooth and flat, making it a good temporary blackboard.

Along with Chi Li's explanation, a village planning map had been drawn on the stone. Although it was just the simplest sketch, the simple and clear lines quickly made everyone understand what the patriarch meant.

"Clan leader." Someone raised his hand and asked.

"Say." Chi Li answered as she pointed him up.

The man stood up and scratched his head. He seemed a little embarrassed to speak in front of so many people, but he still asked his question seriously: "How to build the house you mentioned?"

"I will teach you then."

If you don't consider all kinds of load-bearing and earthquake-proofing and other miscellaneous things, it is not difficult to simply build a house. In fact, under their current conditions, all they can build is a single-story small bungalow, which can be protected from wind and rain, but it is not necessary. Thinking about too much else.

The reason why she is planning to lead the tribe to build a house for collective use is to enable them to learn in depth during the construction process and understand what a house looks like. Later, their own small home will need them as the main force. construction.

Of course, people of the same ethnic group will definitely help each other, just like if someone in the countryside wants to build a house, the people in the same village will go over to help.

After making the plan, Chili divided the tribesmen into three groups. One group went to dig the foundation, and the other group went to the mountains and woods with various tools such as snow beast saw chains to saw some trees of suitable size and brought them back to use as houses. Construction materials.

Chili plans to build all the houses into wooden structures.

The main reason is that she doesn't know how to make adobe bricks, otherwise she would have made adobe bricks long ago.

Fortunately, there are a lot of forest resources nearby. After cutting down, Chili will also ask people to replant some small trees to avoid soil loss. It would be bad if it causes a mudslide.

The last group of people was led by Chi Li personally. All they needed to do was to conduct a comprehensive survey of the surrounding environment and prepare for the subsequent site selection of farmland, building livestock pens, and digging fish ponds.

By the way, during the survey, they also need to find as much food as possible to take back.

Fruits on the trees, wild vegetables and mushrooms on the ground, fish, shrimps and crabs in the river, and occasionally small prey that are unlucky enough to pass by are all their targets.

It’s hard to say exactly how many areas were surveyed during this trip, but everyone gained a lot.

Chi Li carried two skewers of fish in both hands.

There are about a dozen fish on each skewer.

The skewers are straw ropes made by twisting random weeds on the roadside, and the fish are fish caught casually from the river.

These fish, like shrimps, may have never encountered any natural enemies and lived a very nourishing life, so they all grow fat and strong. Any one of them can weigh more than ten kilograms, and the largest one even weighs thirty kilograms.

However, compared to being stupidly stuck in one place and being fished out accurately, these fish are much smarter. Catching them took a lot of effort from Chi Li. Fortunately, her animal form is amphibious, and she can even swim in the water. She was more flexible in the water than on land, and in the end these fish couldn't escape her claws.

"Make bamboo tube grilled fish for dinner tonight." Chili announced with a smile, which caused everyone to cheer.

They have never eaten grilled fish in a bamboo tube, but they know that as long as it is a delicacy created by the clan leader, it will be delicious.

When they came back, Chili and the others passed by a bamboo forest and broke off a few bamboos and dug some bamboo shoots.

This is the season for eating spring bamboo shoots. The fat and white bamboo shoots emerge from the ground one after another, as if waving to Chili, shouting, come and dig me, come and dig me.

Then Chi Li went to dig.

In addition, when they say they are breaking bamboo, they mean it is done by hand without any discounts.

The bamboos in this world are not much different from ordinary bamboos except that they grow taller and denser. With the strong physique of the orcs, Chili can break a full-grown bamboo with his bare hands without even needing to transform into a beast. bamboo.

When the other tribesmen saw this, they followed suit. One of them broke off a piece of bamboo and went back.

Chili doesn't want to be so rough, but these days, using tools is not as good as their brute force. For the sake of convenience, sometimes it's good to be rough.

It would be great if we could find copper or iron ore.

Chili thought.

She knows how to refine weapons, and knows everything. If she can find a vein of minerals, she can try to directly introduce her tribe from the Stone Age to the Bronze or Iron Age.

"First split the bamboo in half like this, then put the processed fish in, add onion and garlic to remove the smell, then close the bamboo, tie it tightly with a rope, bake it on the fire until it is cooked, and wait for the fish After roasting, open the bamboo and sprinkle some salt on it, and it will be a delicious dish. "

After Chili taught the tribesman who was responsible for cooking today how to grill fish in bamboo tubes, she walked over to check on the progress of the foundation group project.

The results exceeded her expectations.

The flexible orcs directly transformed the prototype and used their claws to dig wildly on the ground. Among them, the wolf orcs were the hardest working. Soon the foundation took shape under their joint efforts. However, the construction site was too dusty. , don’t get too close, otherwise you will easily be blinded or choked on your trachea.

Raising her hands to make a fan-shaped wave in front of her nose, Chili took one look from a distance and silently chose to retreat and go to the mountain to find the tree-cutting team.

When passing by the big stone that she had written on, Chi Li suddenly remembered that stone was actually a very good building material.

But then she thought about how the species living in this world were too unscientific. It would be bad if the house was built with stones, and if the house accidentally collapsed while living, it would hit someone.

Although there is a risk of wood collapsing due to brute force, compared to rocks, the damage caused by falling wood is still much smaller, right?

However, Chi Li has no intention of giving up the use of stones.

If you can't use it to build a house, then you can use its strong properties to build a fence for the house or yard, or a fence to protect the entire village.

The wild environment is too dangerous. When settling in a place to build a village, various defensive measures must be used together. Even if it cannot really play a defensive role, at least when danger comes, some noise can be made to alert the people living inside. people.

Silently putting the collection of big rocks on the agenda, Chi Li found the felling team and saw that they were working hard to cut down trees, and a pile of trees had been piled high next to them.

Chili's people told them in advance that they would cut down trees, but they would not focus on one spot, but would chop them at intervals in an effort to reduce the damage to the forest.

This seems to increase the workload and cause a lot of trouble, but it is considered for the future.

Chili didn't want her chosen home with beautiful mountains and clear waters to turn into barren mountains and dry water, so she might as well have wandered around with the tribe from the beginning.

Walk over, lift up two big trees on the left and right, and move back.

Noticing the appearance of the patriarch, Felt wanted to come over to help, but Chi Li refused: "No, you are busy with your business."

After saying that, she left with two trees.

Returning to the temporary station, Chi Li put down the two heavy trees, then picked up the stone axe, cleaned the small branches on them and threw them to the cooking staff, so that they could burn these branches as firewood.

The cleared leaves were spread flat on the ground, creating a small clean area for the cubs of the tribe to play. Their parents also needed to work, but every once in a while, one person would be replaced and take turns raising the cubs.

Seeing this scene, Chi Li moved her hands, feeling a bit like a kindergarten.

But if a kindergarten only has four students, it will go bankrupt, right?

Simon is not within the scope of the kindergarten. The little boy who is seven years old this year is a helper who can help the clan members with small things within his ability. Everyone is also very friendly and will give some small tasks to the little guy who actively wants to help, and let him run errands. Picking something up, or helping to give him water or something, a compliment is a sincere thank you, and occasionally some sweet dried fruit, which can often make him happy for a while and give him a full sense of accomplishment.

"Thank you Simon, you are such a good boy." This is what everyone says to Simon most often.

Chi Li only paid attention to the movements within the clan and continued the work at hand.

After cleaning up the small branches and leaves, she cut off the large branches and piled them aside to dry.

Freshly cut trees need to be dried for a period of time before they can be used, otherwise they will easily become damp, rotten and infested with insects.

In fact, it would be nice if a layer of medicine could be applied to prevent rot and worms. Unfortunately, Chili didn't know what it was and couldn't make the mixture.

After dealing with one big tree, it was immediately followed by the next one. When both were dealt with, I looked up and saw that the sky was already a little dark.

"Come over and help us set up the tent."

Under certain circumstances, Chi Li is still more willing to let the tribesmen live a better life, so even though she knows that everyone can lie down on the ground to rest under the cover of the sky, she still insists on leading the tribesmen to set up tents one by one. Let the tribesmen get a better rest inside.

The method of setting up a tent in the wild is very simple. First use a few wooden sticks of suitable length to build a triangular tent frame, and then cover the outside of the frame with animal skins.

It is mainly windproof and rainproof.

A tent is only big enough for two people to live in. If there are cubs, you can fit in an extra one. Everyone can form a team freely and choose the roommate they think they can live in.

Chi Li lives with Madam Hu, and Little Bunni lives in the same tent.

This little guy has been brought up by Chi Li since childhood. He is very close to her and does not reject her when they sleep together.

All the tents were set up before it got completely dark.

The tents that were set up were arranged in a circle around the campfire. On both sides of the campfire, two tree trunks that Chili had processed in the afternoon were placed as benches.

Everyone sat on it, each holding their own portion of food to eat. Today's staple food was grilled fish in bamboo tubes, and river shrimp and bamboo shoot soup, paired with some roasted mushrooms and barbecued meat, it was a delicious meal.

The fish meat of the bamboo tube grilled fish is soaked with the fragrance of bamboo. It does not add a lot of seasonings. Everything has the most authentic taste, but it is so fresh that people will have endless aftertaste and want to eat it again.

Fortunately, Chili caught enough fish to allow the tribesmen who didn't have enough to finish eating and get another portion.

Chili people have always adhered to the principle of iron rice and steel. Every meal will make every clan member full, and no one will be allowed to go hungry under her management.

This caused Datz's eyelids to twitch every time he saw the consumption rate of the family's food reserves, fearing that one day he would wake up and find that his family's food reserves were in short supply.

For this reason, he went to his daughter to mention it in a vague way. The general idea was that he should eat sparingly and not eat all the meals. If every orc family eats like this, if the food reserves are gone one day, What should I do if I can’t find new food in time?

In response to this, Chi Li turned around and took people hunting, and dragged a few oversized wild boars back, and then Datz shut up.
Since her daughter has the ability to bring enough food to the tribe, she can do whatever she likes.

That day, the Datse tribe had a meal of roasted whole pigs, and some new pickled meats. This time, the pigs were not thrown into the pond, but pears were used as bait, and were put into the water to attract fish, shrimps and crabs to catch. I bought a lot of good things for everyone to enjoy.

Thanks to everyone's high efficiency, the foundation was dug the next day. Chili selected several strong and thick tree trunks as weighing columns and erected them at the four corners of the foundation, and also erected a diagonal intersection in the middle. A pillar was filled with gravel and soil at the bottom, and the tribesmen with a relatively large tonnage were asked to transform into beasts and stand on it to step on the foundation.

The next step is almost like building blocks.

First, build the overall frame of the house, then fill in the walls, lay the floor, raise the beams, and build the roof.

In order to effectively prevent rain, various kinds of soil were mixed with weeds and other materials on the roof, and every gap was carefully filled. After it was completely dry, Chili deliberately poured some water on it to test its waterproofness.

Generally acceptable.

Under limited conditions, the requirements should not be too high.

When the first house was built, it was already half a month later.

Looking at this building called a house that they built from scratch, almost every human orc had an eager expression on their face that they didn't understand.

They seemed to understand what a home was like.

After the house they lived in was built, the tents outside were dismantled, and everyone moved into their common home.

Having the shelter of a house always seems to make people feel more at ease, so the tribesmen slept particularly soundly tonight, but Chili had some insomnia. She was worrying about what to do after building the first house.

The first is the reclamation of farmland, which is definitely the top priority.

In fact, during the process of building houses, Chili has been leading the tribesmen to reclaim farmland one after another. Currently, about twenty acres of fields have been created. Some of the fields have even been planted with things that Chili once planted. Various seeds collected along the way.

Chili, who had experience in planting in a desert island survival world, seemed much more comfortable this time. For the orcs in the primitive era, just the superficial knowledge of planting in Chili's mind was enough to last them a lifetime.

Their group, including cubs, has a total population of forty-two people.

Only twenty acres of land cannot support so many people, so it is inevitable to continue to cultivate farmland. In addition, the tribe must be called to build a stone wall around the house to prevent wild animals from accidentally entering in the middle of the night.

This is simple, just divide it among a few people to do it.

The most important thing at the moment is to have more food. Only when you have food in hand can you have more confidence in what you do in the future.

When she got up the next day, Chi Li continued to lead the tribe to reclaim farmland. Pieces of regular and irregular farmland were reclaimed and distributed near the newly established village. It looked like it was thriving.

There are some green spots in the fields.

Those seeds were not sprouted by Chili, but the plants they transplanted from elsewhere.

Chi Li knew from the beginning that the number of seeds she collected was limited, and it was simply impossible to grow enough food for the tribe just by relying on those things.

Therefore, in Chili's plan, the crops they planted in the first year cannot be eaten, and all of them must be reserved for breeding in the second year. At the same time, in order to prevent the cultivated farmland from going to waste, she also thought of a trick.

Find and transplant now.

There are so many natural resources around here, including many edible wild plants. If you look for them and move them over and plant them in your own land, wouldn't they become their food?

She is such a witty little clever girl.

They were busy like worker ants, looking and moving, and soon their fields were covered with green, which was pleasing to look at.

There is a feeling of happiness that your own granary is full.

Speaking of granaries, Chi Li recently led her tribe to dig a cellar, and she planned to store excess grain in it in the future.

A simple house was built above the cellar, with the main purpose being to store both the upper and lower parts.

"Chief, I want to build a house, my own house."

One day, Uncle Xiong stood in front of Chili and told her the news with a serious face. Chili smiled without surprise and replied: "Then let's cover it."

She took Uncle Xiong back to the house where the tribesmen lived, gathered everyone together, and announced the decision to allow the tribesmen to build houses freely, but the location of each house must be approved by Chili. The divisions of the village are all planned in advance. Where they can be used as homesteads and where they will be used for other purposes in the future, they have already been booked. They cannot be destroyed by random construction by the tribesmen.

And planned buildings can also make villages neater and more beautiful.

Although the clan members who intend to build a house have that idea, they have no idea how to implement it or where to build it. Now that the clan leader is helping with the planning, they are so happy that they don't have to use their brains and just obey the assignment.

There are two options for Chili to choose homesteads for the clan members. One is that she gives some alternative places for the clansmen to choose. The other is that the clansmen explain their needs to her and then ask her to help arrange them.

Finally, after some intense discussions, everyone got a result they were satisfied with. Immediately afterwards, the Lili people fell into a feverish house-building frenzy.

Chi Li planned that after everyone has their own house, this large house built collectively will be reserved for village collective meetings and public activities.

After all, she has to build a house for herself. She can't live here forever, can she?

Chi Li is very good at building a house. She even knows how to decorate flowers. Others only build a one-room bungalow, but she has actually built a two-bedroom, one-living-room, one kitchen and one bathroom for herself.

Under the thatched house is a large manure pit, which is the best source of fertilizer for the fields.

With two rooms, one for himself to live in and the other for use as a study, Datz made it clear that he would not live with his adult daughter long before Chili started building a house for himself.

Well, the old father wants some private space, and Chi Li expresses respect and understanding.

In the end, Datz chose to build himself a small house not far from Chili's house and live there alone.

When the first batch of houses in the village were completed, Chili discovered that she was not the only one who could decorate the house. The orcs, who had no ideological restrictions, put a lot of fantastic ideas into building their own houses. Some of them were actually able to build the roof. Some are round, just like Chili, and have built more rooms with different functional areas, and some even have a small attic. He can build a two-story building if he adds more money.

As long as it's stable enough and doesn't collapse easily, Chili doesn't care how the clansmen build their houses.

After building the house, she began to encourage the tribesmen to cultivate some vegetable plots near their houses. Whoever cultivated the vegetable plots would belong to them, and there was a limit to the scope of the vegetable plots that each person could cultivate. They could not cultivate endlessly, otherwise it would be easy. Cause conflicts among neighbors.

This move directly led people to shift from public ownership of the economy to private ownership.

In the past, there was no such thing as private property among the orc tribe. All their belongings, including themselves, belonged to the tribe. If the tribe needed it, they had to contribute to the tribe at any time.

But at this moment, Chili told them that they could also have things that were completely their own, houses, fields, and in the future, food, and more.

Although they can't imagine it now, that day will come.

The emergence of private ownership economy also promoted the emergence of a behavior: transaction.

In the past, property was collective, and they only had shares waiting to be distributed. Now property has begun to have individual parts. So, if a person wants something, he can no longer directly ask for it from the collective, but has to take his own things. Trade and exchange it with someone who has this thing.

People at that time did not realize that they had already achieved the earliest bartering behavior.

Chili takes this into consideration, and her attitude is to let nature take its course. The development of society always has its own progress.

Time flies by quickly, and autumn arrives in a blink of an eye. Many of the seeds and plants planted in spring are already mature and ready for harvest.

Chili led the tribesmen into the hot autumn harvest. Because there were too few seeds, this harvest season could not be said to be a bumper harvest season, but watching a seed take root and sprout in the field, blossom and bear fruit, grow A lot of edible food was produced, and everyone was still very happy.

It was only after seeing the food all over the floor that they felt a sense of relief that their hearts dropped from mid-air.

To be honest, even though they have always shown that they support all the clan leader's decisions and do whatever the clan leader tells them, everyone is actually still a little worried.

What if food doesn’t grow in the ground?

How can they survive without food?

Troubles like this will continue to appear until Chi Li tells everyone with facts that food will grow in the ground, and as long as she is around, the tribe will never starve...

"Chief, can we have a little? Just a little."

Keith made a vague gesture, but looking at the greedy looks on him and his friends, Chili deeply suspected that his little bit was actually a hundred million bits.

"alright."

During the harvest season, she always wants to reward the tribesmen who have worked hard with her for more than half a year.

After receiving permission, Keith and others immediately cheered and ran away. Although they were all adults, they were still as unstable as half-grown boys.

Since she promised to bring food from the fields to everyone, Chili turned around and went back to see if there was anything suitable for everyone to enjoy.

They grow everything in these fields, including rice, wheat, corn, peanuts, etc. that can be used as staple foods, as well as various vegetables and so on.

After much deliberation, she still couldn't bear to eat the few rice and wheat she had. She wanted to keep these as seeds for next year. Finally, Chili picked some corn and peanuts, as well as radishes, tomatoes, cabbage and other vegetables and planned to go there. Reward the tribesmen.

Corn and peanuts are cooked directly with salt water, radish and tomatoes can be eaten as fruits or vegetables, and part of Chili is eaten raw as fruit and the other part is made into vegetables.

The radish was stewed in meat and bone soup, tomatoes were fried with eggs, and cabbage was fried with meat. Chili arranged everything clearly.

There are already some free-range poultry in their village. They are wild pheasants that Chili led the tribe to catch from the mountains. They keep them in cages and raise them. Some of the eggs they lay are eaten and some are kept for the chickens to hatch. Chickens, the hatched chicks continue to lay eggs after they are raised, and the cycle repeats.

Perhaps one day in the future, these wild pheasants will become domestic chickens.

At present, the road to domestication is still long, and the animals Chili wants to domesticate are not just chickens. If she hadn't encountered them, she would have collected all the chickens, ducks and geese.

The village has basically achieved egg freedom. In addition to eggs, chickens that cannot lay eggs can also be raised and killed and eaten. In this way, they have a stable meat supply chain, and the sense of urgency about food shortage has subsided a lot.

While Chi Li was instructing the tribesmen to cook, Keith and the others, who had just run off somewhere, carried back a cow. This cow was very big, enough to feed the entire village.

When they returned in triumph, Simon led a series of little carrot heads who had just learned to walk behind them, drooling over the cow, eager to taste the beef.

Seeing this, Chi Li decisively changed tonight's menu and decided to make hot pot directly.

There is a huge stone pot in their village, one that can turn the next person. Chi Li moved it back from somewhere.

Anyway, the tribesmen only remember that one day the pot stood in the courtyard of the house they originally built.

Chi Li and others had already built a wall around the original house with solid stones. Also enclosed in the wall was their village's public warehouse, which contained a lot of food. In case of any crisis, they would only If you need to hide here immediately, you can get a certain amount of shelter and survival guarantee.

This is the last resort Chili has prepared for his people, and he will not use it unless absolutely necessary.

What she didn't tell anyone was that she wanted to dig a tunnel under the house to lead to the outside world. If the tribesmen were trapped here in danger in the future, they could escape through this tunnel.

However, digging a tunnel is a big project and cannot be completed in a day or two, so Chili is still in the stage of thinking about it.

Everyone worked together to carry out the big stone pot and put it on the fire. The inside was cleaned and then filled with water. Several tribesmen with good knife skills gathered around the pot and threw corn, tomato and other cut into pieces.

On the wooden table on the other side, Keith and the others were dissecting a cow. They washed the bones and put them into a pot to cook. The meat was cut into pieces and kept for a while before cooking.

Due to the limitations of tools, the meat cannot be cut too thin and can only be sliced ​​into thick slices. When it is time to eat, everyone decides how cooked it should be based on their personal taste.

Chi Li went back to the field to find onions, ginger, and garlic. She washed them all and threw them into the pot to cook to add some flavor.

She still couldn't find the chili pepper, but she found ginger, which gave her an extra side dish to use.

Something was cooking in the big pot, and the aroma gradually wafted out. Many tribesmen came over to touch it after smelling the smell. Everyone consciously brought bowls and chopsticks, just waiting for the time to start eating.

Finally, when Chi Li announced that it was time to eat, everyone immediately stuffed the meat into their mouths like crazy, regardless of whether the last piece of meat they pulled out was the piece they had eaten.

There are no fancy dipping sauces, you can only experience the original taste of the ingredients, but the food mixed together is still very fragrant, making everyone eat enthusiastically and unable to stop eating.

The cub next to it that couldn't reach the pot became anxious and jumped next to its parents, squealing for their parents to feed it.

Knowing that there were still a lot of ingredients, Chili was not in a hurry to eat. She first helped to get food for the cubs in the clan, and received several milky and sticky sounds: "Thank you, clan leader."

"You're welcome." The babies are so cute. (End of chapter)
