Super Chief

"Strong bear, when I planted corn with Lambtaceae that day, they said that this kind of farming method was very backward. You said that you got guidance from the supreme sun god. Then, what is the farming method that the sun **** directed? "Hong Yun, oh no, it's time to call her Kabru sacrifice, he tilted his head and asked the stone bear.

　　 Kabulu priest lives in the big wooden house that originally belonged to her mother. This wooden house, second only to the chamber in size, is an exclusive room for the Kabulu priest.

　　 There is no one else in the house. She has not chosen the second guardian of the Kabul Sacrifice from among the clans, so she is the only one beside her now.

Shi Xiong was not polite, and said directly: "First of all, the time of cultivation is wrong. It is about to enter the winter. Sowing corn at this time, the corn will only end with death. The harsh winter will completely freeze the corn seeds to death. , Don't you even know this common sense?"

"However, the Pueblo people who taught us how to grow corn can grow corn in the month of the **** (November). We used to grow corn at this time, although the yield is higher than in the month of strawberry (6). Month) planted a lot less corn, but some corn can be produced."

　　 Shixiong helplessly covered his forehead. He really couldn't explain this question to the newly appointed Kabru priest.

Do you want to tell her that the latitude of Texas where the Pueblo people live is much lower than that of Tennessee, especially the southwestern corner of Texas where some Pueblo people live, where is close to the Tropic of Cancer? Coupled with being close to the Gulf of Mexico, the climate there is much warmer than Tennessee. It’s okay to plant corn in November, but that doesn’t mean that you’re also okay to plant corn this month in Tennessee.

　　 But the problem is that once I say those things, this Kabru priest who has a strong desire for knowledge can definitely ask him not to live.

　　 So Shixiong said directly: "The supreme sun **** said that we Cherokee and Pueblo are different. We can only grow corn in the Strawberry Moon."

　　'S words immediately silenced the Kabul priest.

But then she quickly told a fact that Stone Bear had to face, “Although the corn output we planted in the Moon of the Beaver is very low, we can always supplement the tribe’s food. If we give up on the **** The moon planting corn, relying only on the corn planted in the strawberry moon, is not enough for the people of our tribe. What should we do?"

　　 Shixiong was taken aback, and then smiled: "That's why I said there is a problem with your planting method."

After a pause, Shi Xiong continued: "In addition to the wrong season for your corn planting, the farming method is also very, very wrong. First of all, if you want to grow the crops with high yields, you must first plow the cultivated land. When you plant corn, you don’t even plow the plow. How can the mother of the earth supplement the corn? Therefore, plowing the cultivated land before planting is something that must be done."

"Secondly, after plowing is completed, sowing is to be carried out, which is to bury the seeds in the soil, instead of throwing corn seeds directly into the ground as you did. Don’t you be afraid that the birds in the sky will throw you down? Eat all of the seeds?"

　　 The Kabru sacrificial face was flushed with these words. It is estimated that she herself knows that most of the corn seeds they sown every year are probably eaten by the birds...

"After that, after the seeds are planted, they need to be watered, fertilized, and weeded, so as to ensure that all the mothers of the earth will feed the corn. When the harvest season arrives, the heavy corn will bear the fullest. It’s impossible for you to grow it like this, because the yield is far worse."

　　 "How much can the difference be?" Kabru priest asked curiously.

　　 "Then how much corn do you grow when you grow the most corn?" Shixiong asked rhetorically.

　　 Hongyun hesitated and said: "If it is corn planted in the month of strawberry, when it is harvested in the month of harvest (September) or the month of hunter (October), a field can produce up to five bags of corn kernels."

　　 This result once again made Shi Xiong a little bit unbearable to look directly at him.

　　 In the Cherokee's unit of measurement, there is no imperial unit, not to mention the metric unit. Their unit of measurement is very simple. For example, this square piece of land refers to a square piece of land about 80 meters by 80 meters, which is about 640 square meters for later generations, which is slightly smaller than an acre of land for later generations.

　　 As for a bag of corn kernels, it is even simpler, because when the Cherokees measure food production, they use the capacity of a bag to calculate. I've seen this kind of pocket stone bear. It's not too big, it's almost half the size of the dough bag of later generations. If it is full, it can hold about 20 kilograms of corn kernels.

　　 In other words, according to what Hongyun said, the corn grown by the Cherokees now ~www.NovelMTL.com~The harvest of one mu of land is about one hundred catties!

　　 This yield ratio is compared with the corn field that produced more than tons of corn in later generations. Even compared to the later generations of fields with an average yield of more than 1,000 catties per mu, this yield is horrible.

　　Maize is different from wheat. Corn is a high-yield crop, which is universally recognized. If you plant corn in later generations, if your acre of land is less than one thousand catties, you are embarrassed to tell others.

　　 But in this era, among the Indians, if the yield per mu exceeds 100 catties, it is considered a bumper harvest.

　　 Fortunately, there is a lot of wasteland around the Gaoshu tribe, and there is enough land for these people to toss. If the Gaoshu tribe were on the island of Japan, I am afraid they would have starved to death.

　　 Seeing Shi Xiong's face with constipation, Hongyu seemed to feel a little embarrassed. She said: "Dragon Bear, if the planting method is guided by the supreme sun god, how many corn kernels can one field produce?"

Shi Xiong lowered his head and thought for a while and said: "The corn kernels produced by one area should be at least 25 to 30 bags. If the fertilizer can keep up, it is not a big deal to produce fifty bags. impossible things."

　　 "How is this possible?" Hong Yun said as he looked at Shi Xiong in disbelief.

　　 "Then you just don't believe in the supreme sun god?" Shi Xiong said with a smile, and Hong Yun no longer spoke.

"Well, I won’t make you anymore. Since you brought up this matter today, I will show you the instructions of the sun god. But we don’t grow corn anymore. We are going to grow a crop called winter wheat. So when the strawberry month arrives next year, the winter wheat will be ripe. After the harvest, you can continue to plant corn."

　　 Ishikuma's words made Hongyun's eyes brighten.
