After eating the corn, Mu Feng didn't need to explain anymore, Ming Guang and Li Hu already understood the usefulness of the corn.

Li Huo beamed and said: "Chief, I see that 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 making seeds!"

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

"No need now!" Mu Feng said with a smile, "These corn kernels are too small, and the ears of corn grown from them are also small. You can see that the new corn kernels we planted are very large. We use them as seeds and grow them The corn will be bigger!"

"That's it!" Li Hu still didn't understand, "Why will there be big corn when the kernels are big?"

Mu Feng was a little speechless, how would he explain "inheritance" to Ming Guang?

Should I tell him directly, "Dragon begets dragon, phoenix begets phoenix, the children of mice can make holes?"

Or "you will reap melons if you sow melons, so you will reap beans"?

However, it seemed that none of these statements could be understood by Li Hu. He scratched his head and was still organizing his vocabulary.

But this time it was Ming Guang who rescued him, and his scholar Li Hu knocked Li Hu on his attitude just now: "The great chief said to do this, you just do it, why are there so many nonsense!"

"Ha!" Mu Feng was so happy that he almost couldn't laugh out loud.

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

Seeing that the problem was solved by itself, Mu Feng nodded and said earnestly: "Okay, that's it, the corn on the second-floor protective wall can be broken and eaten now. But be careful not to break the piece near the foot of Nanshan. Break off the seeds when they are ripe!"

"As for other places, eat as much as you want, and don't eat it all at once!"

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

"If you don't have enough to eat, you have to leave a piece of it as a seed!" Mu Feng said seriously, "If you keep enough seeds, you can get another piece of land in the west and use it to grow corn!"

"It's such a large area, and the hunting team doesn't participate in the labor, I'm afraid our clansmen will be too busy!" Li Hu said worriedly.

"Aren't there slaves?" Mu Feng said in a cold voice, "I captured them for work. I don't need them at this time. When are you going to use them?"

"But aren't they going to build a protective wall around it?" Li Hu asked again.

"Leave the protective wall in advance!" Mu Feng said in a deep voice, "Let them dig out the land for me first, farming is important!"

"But in that case, without protection, the slave will..." Li Hu hesitated to speak.

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

"I understand!" Li Hu nodded solemnly.

"Okay!" Mu Feng nodded again and said, "After breaking off the corn, don't throw away the stalks, cut them off and send them to the sheep pen 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 off the bark." Mu Feng ordered.

"Peel the bark?" All three of them were puzzled now.

Li Hu asked: "Great Chief, what are you doing peeling the bark?"

"Twist the rope!" Mu Feng organized it and tried to simplify it as much as possible, "Han Shu told me that animal tendons are not enough, but more and more tribes need ropes now, and animal tendons alone are not enough. Then use mulberry tree skin instead!"
"But how can the bark replace the animal tendons? The length and toughness are not enough." Ming Guang also said at this time.

"Peel off the bark of the tree and dry it first, scrape off the outer skin, soak it in water, rub it repeatedly, dry it in the sun, and then use the method of twisting animal tendon rope to make a rope."

"Is this... okay?" Ming Guang looked at Li Hu, and then both of them nodded at Mu Feng, "Yes!"

Because Mufeng will not aim at nothing, and even if he said it was possible, he still has not been unable to do it!

"Well, it's definitely possible!" Mu Feng said with a smile, "Now use the bark to rub the rope, and I'm going to go out soon to see if I can find hemp crops."

"Hemp material?" Li Hu suddenly remembered that when he came back the day before yesterday, Ming Guang told him excitedly: the great chief wants to make linen clothes for everyone in the tribe.

Now that Mu Feng brought up this matter again, does it mean that the members of the Immediate Tribe can wear linen clothes?

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

Mu Feng's eyes lit up, and he agreed with Li Hu's words. If he went out alone to find it, he would definitely not be able to find it as quickly as many people.

The key is that the tribe doesn't know Ramie, so how can he describe the appearance of Ramie to the tribe?

"It would be great if there was paper to draw on!" Mu Feng thought to himself.

Although I am not a painter, I still have basic painting skills, and it is not a problem to draw a ramie look.

The point is that he doesn't even have any paper now, so what should he do?

"I can only try it first!" He thought for a while, and described it to the two, "The leaves of ramie are a bit like the leaves of the mulberry tree, but not as big as the mulberry tree, and the leaves are jagged!"

"Sawtooth?" The two looked at me and I at you, with puzzled expressions on their faces.

Mu Feng slapped his head: "My brain!"

As he spoke, he picked up a branch and drew on the ground.

First the leaves of ramie, and then the rhizome of ramie.

Even the flowers and fruits of ramie are roughly marked a few strokes, which is convenient for the two of them to understand.

Li Hu and Ming Guang, including Chang Ning, felt that it was miraculous when Mu Feng drew the ramie shape stroke by stroke.

From their point of view, the great chief who can draw the appearance of ramie with branches is no different from the legendary god.

"Great Chief, I seem to have seen such a thing before!" Ming Guang scratched his head and said, "But now I can't think of where I've seen it before."

"Eh..." Mu Feng was a little speechless, Ming Guang's situation was the same as that of many people.

I saw it and thought it was very familiar, but I really had to think about it carefully, but I couldn't tell why.

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

"The valley, the edge of the forest?"

Mu Feng helplessly popularized again: "Our tribe is located in the gap between two mountains or three mountains. But we don't have one here, so go to the edge of the forest or on the grass slope! The edge of the forest is the edge of the forest, where it meets the grassland. The last is The gentler hillsides are mostly green grass..."

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