The next morning, it was slightly cloudy.But this does not affect the good mood of the orcs after returning from a long trip and reuniting with their loved ones after a long absence.The return ceremony of the tribe takes place in the evening, and preparations begin after the afternoon.So early in the morning, Lin Xi decided to take advantage of the time in the morning to get the activity venue of those small animals during the day.So when Wuchen was making breakfast at home, Lin Xi went to find Bai Nu.She planned to give the work of collecting wood back to White Fury, and let him find the orcs in the tribe to do it.Bai Nu had long known that Lin Xi had begun to try to raise animals, and after hearing Lin Xi's request, he immediately agreed.By the time Lin Xi finished eating and had just chosen the location of the breeding circle, an orc had already dragged the entire tree from outside the tribe."
Xixi, what are you going to do?"
Wuchen stood beside Lin Xi, looking curiously at the open space in front of him that was nailed to the four corners by Lin Xi with a wooden stick.When Lin Xi heard this, he raised his hand and pointed to the vegetable garden not far away, and said, "It's like the wall of the vegetable field, just fence it with a wooden stick."
But there's one side that needs to be a little denser, and I'm going to use that to raise chickens. ”Lin Xi had already thought about it, she only planned to put the chickens and white-haired beasts in the breeding pen.Of course, there may be more curly-haired beasts, yellow-haired pigs and other small animals in the future.But she didn't dare to put the rabbit in, that little thing hit the hole thief fast, I'm afraid that the front foot just went in, and after turning his head, he dug a hole and ran away!
So she plans to make a big cage for the rabbit alone, or keep it closed.The orcs are still sending wood here, and Lin Xi and Wuchen together have processed the wood sent back by the orcs into a length of about one and a half meters.When it was almost time to see, she told the orcs to stop collecting wood and start sticking the sticks into the ground together.After waiting for a feeding circle of nearly 200 square meters, on the side near the vegetable garden, Lin Xi separated a small circle of about 20 square meters in it.The fence of this circle is enclosed by a wooden stick and a wooden stick next to each other, which is the place where the chickens are fixed, and then build a chicken coop in the back.Because of the help of the orcs, Lin Xi's feeding circle was very fast, and after it was done, Lin Xi drove the white-haired beast into it first.Then she asked Wuchen to grab the seven big chickens one by one, and use a bone knife to cut off the feathers on their wings neatly before throwing them into the breeding pen.Several orcs who came to help watched her movements, and after Lin Xi finished cutting the feathers, he finally couldn't help but ask curiously, "Lin Xi Wise, so that the gray chicken and the red feather chicken won't fly away?"
”"Yes!"
Lin Xi looked up with a smile: "But when the cut feathers grow back, we have to cut off the new feathers, otherwise the feathers will still fly out when they grow!"
”Several orcs listened and nodded thoughtfully.The orcs who followed the spring sacrifice together, some of them had already begun to learn how to catch animals alive in Lin Xi on the way back and come back to raise them.But for now, raising animals is still a problem for them, because they need to control the eating and drinking of these animals, but they can't eat meat.Lin Xi had also already told Bai Nu that in fact, in the current situation, she still only recommended herbivorous orcs to learn breeding techniques, and the benefits of carnivorous orcs learning were not great.Because the main purpose of letting the orcs breed animals is to have more food in winter.However, for carnivorous orcs who eat a lot of food, the cycle of raising animals is long, and the number of animals that each of their individual orcs can breed at one time is very small, and it is impossible to raise hundreds at once, so it is really unnecessary.But for herbivorous orcs who are not good at hunting, it is a good deal.Because they can eat less meat at a time, even if they can only feed fifty chickens from spring to winter, then a little more hunting of other animals at the end of the day will be enough for them to eat for a winter!
And the most important thing is that Lin Xi doesn't want the carnivorous orcs to lose the opportunity to exercise their physical strength by hunting.If you rely on breeding to eat meat in the future, the fighting ability of the orcs of the Mountain Fire Tribe will definitely decline, which is a very dangerous behavior!
After finishing the breeding pen of several animals for the time being, Lin Xi made a small planting box with the remaining wood.She filled it with dirt, sprinkled half of the bamboo seeds she had brought back, and watered them.She had no previous experience in growing bamboo, so she could only think about her experience when growing other crops, so she tried it first.The other half of the bamboo seeds remained, and in case the seedlings failed this time, there would be a chance to start again.By the time these were all done, it was already noon, and Lin Xi was starting to get a little hungry.As the weather warms up, the daytime hours are gradually lengthening, and Lin Xi feels that after a while, she may change back to the habit of eating three meals a day."
Wuchen, let's go catch a few fish!"
Lin Xi took out the big fishing net that had fallen dust at home and went to call Wuchen.Wuchen stretched out his hand to take it, nodded while looking at Lin Xi's stomach: "Xixi is hungry?"
”"Hmm."
Lin Xi nodded: "I'm a little hungry, I just want to eat fish, it's cloudy today, let's boil a fish soup to drink." ”"Okay."
When Wuchen heard this, he hurriedly agreed and followed Lin Xi to the river.The river in spring seemed to be bigger than in winter, and Wuchen carried the fishing net to the river to catch fish, although the net was large, he didn't need Lin Xi at all, and he could walk around the river by himself.Lin Xi saw that he couldn't help, so he bent down and walked slowly by the river to see if he could see something else.Unfortunately, it will be noon, and only a few finger-long trash fish can be seen on the riverbank.Picking up the stones by the river, you can also see piles of transparent small shrimp, but they are too small to make Lin Xi want to grab them and eat them.And when Lin Xi was squatting by the river and pulling the cracks in the stones, Wuchen was already holding a fishing net to go ashore!
She hurriedly went over to look, and at a glance, she saw that in the center of the net, a total of a dozen or so small arm-length fish were jumping, and they were not small!
Lin Xi immediately became happy when he saw it!
Most of these fish are white-backed, only a river fish with a black slit on the belly, and the orcs simply call it white-backed.There are no scales on the fish, and there is only one main spine in the body, which is particularly convenient to eat.She thinks that the skin of this fish is very suitable for making fish skin paper.Because it has few scales, it can reduce the reflection caused by the scales.When he finished making the fish skin lamp before, Lin Xi had a plan, and when he had time, he would make another fish skin window to remove the fish scales.At that time, she thought that even the lights and windows would have to be rebuilt.Otherwise, now a little oil lamp, the kaleidoscope-like phosphorescent light refracted by the old lampshade is really dazzling!
