Hearing Ming Guang's "I remember it", Mu Feng looked forward to it: "Where did you remember seeing it?"

"En!" Ming Guang nodded and said excitedly, "It's on the side of Baishuyuan. Last time we hunted from the direction of the tribe, and Ramie is on the side where Hanshu is hiding."

After a pause, he added another sentence: "The Manglong tribe is in that direction, and their tribe has linen!"

"Huh?" Mu Feng was stunned for a moment, "Is there any linen in the Reckless Dragon Department?"

"Yes! When my grandfather and I went to the Reckless Dragon Department to exchange salt, I heard them say that they have linen clothes. If you want to exchange them, you need fifty animal skins!"

"I'll go!" Mu Feng exclaimed in his heart, "Two animal skins can almost make one piece of clothing, and fifty animal skins are equivalent to twenty-five pieces, which can catch up with the gap between cheap clothes and luxury clothes in previous lives. .”

But at the same time, another idea emerged in Mu Feng's mind: "If the Jiang clan is strong enough to protect itself and has linen clothes, wouldn't it be possible to obtain a lot of development materials?"

Thinking of this, he immediately became excited and said excitedly: "Have you ever seen such ramie? How many are there?"

Ming Guang shook his head: "I don't know how many there are, I just know that there is no side to see."

"Haha!" Mu Feng laughed excitedly.

Regardless of whether what Mingguang said is true or not, at least one thing is certain, that is, this piece of ramie exists in pieces, and there are many.

"Mingguang, I will arrange for people to pull out all the ramie over there tomorrow. Well, be careful to bring back some ramie with roots and soil, and leave some in the wild!"

After a pause, he immediately said to Li Hu: "Uncle Li Hu, let those slaves keep some of the land when they reclaim the land, and use it to grow ramie!"

"Growing ramie?" Li Hu was surprised, "Isn't it used to grow corn?"

"Then leave an extra piece of land and plant ramie. Although ramie is not as filling as corn, it is also full of treasures!"

"It's full of treasures?" Li Hu was even more surprised, "Besides being able to spin the thread to make linen clothes, what else can it be used for?"

"The root of ramie can be used as medicine, and it can prevent miscarriage. The husk of ramie can be used for spinning and weaving. The seeds of ramie can be used for planting and oil extraction."

Speaking of this, Mu Feng's eyes lit up, and he smiled all over his face: "It's like lard, it can be used for cooking, and it's healthier than lard. There are also ramie leaves, which are also edible!"

He wanted to say that in many places in his previous life, there was a custom of wrapping rice with tender ramie leaves.

He still remembers that he has a friend who is an old cousin in Jiangxi, and he told him that there is a custom in his hometown to make ramie buns with fresh ramie leaves and rice flour in July and a half.

Ramie leaves are also high in protein and taste good.

When it comes to edible ramie leaves, Mu Feng suddenly thought of another more delicious hemp crop - kenaf!

Ramie is only about one meter high, but kenaf can grow to two meters or even higher. Not to mention the high yield, the pinch of the most tender leaves at the head of kenaf is even better if you pick it up and rub it in your mouth. A delicious dish.

It has a light sour taste, if it is slightly blanched and served with some mashed garlic, the taste is even better.

Over there, Ming Guang and Li Hu were still excited thinking that they would soon have linen clothes to wear, but unexpectedly, Mu Feng had already lost his mind, and his mind was on "food".

"Great chief, great chief!" Mu Feng grinned foolishly with bright eyes, not in a meditative state, boldly interrupting his reverie.

"Ah?" Mu Feng finally came to his senses, and hurriedly said, "Wait a minute, I'll tell you about another hemp crop. If you can see it, I'll bring it back with you!"

"There are more?" Ming Guang was stunned for a moment, and immediately said in surprise, "There are still linen clothes that can be made?"

"Yeah!" Mu Feng said while drawing, and he drew a kenaf that was taller and stronger than ramie, and whose leaves were like five claws.

With ramie as a comparison, the introduction of kenaf is much simpler.

It's just that the two shook their heads in unison after listening: "I haven't seen this thing before, maybe it's farther away!"

Mu Feng was slightly disappointed, but when he thought that Ramie had found a place, he immediately became happy again.

"Okay, that's it. Tomorrow, you take a few people to find Ramie, mainly Ramie, try not to cause trouble, and when you come back to the nearby tribes, you can watch and hunt some prey!"

"Yes!" Ming Guang nodded in agreement.

"Okay, Uncle Lihu, find some people to clean up the earthen building tomorrow, and then find someone to chop some thinner bamboo!"

"Cut bamboo?" Li Hu was puzzled, "Why chop bamboo?"

Mu Feng said with a smile: "Soon the tribes will move to live in earthen buildings. Not only do we need to clean them, but we also need to burn firecrackers for good luck!"

He was a little regretful that he forgot about this when the tulou was completed.

But if you want to move in now, you will definitely have to set off firecrackers to make a splash.

In the previous life, whenever there was a housewarming, the owner would not only set off firecrackers to ward off evil spirits, but also treat guests to dinner, and give gifts to relatives and friends in red envelopes, euphemistically called "burning the bottom of the pot".

Right now he doesn't have firecrackers on hand, but burning bamboo can also make a "cracking" sound. Anyway, bamboo was set off when worshiping ancestors in the earliest days.

As for treating guests to dinner, he had already thought about it. When the time came, the tribe would directly kill pigs and sheep, have a big meal, and celebrate the relocation of all the tribe.

Mu Feng thought that since he is the patriarch of this tribe, he should make this tribe look like a "home" - warm and humane.

As long as people in the tribe feel that way together, they will be more united.

And when the people of the tribe are united, they will have stronger cohesion and combat effectiveness, and the tribe will be stronger!
