Chapter 191 (1/2)

To be honest, Shixiong didn't expect that Xiaohe tribe had grown so many soybeans. What surprised stone bear most was that the history of soybean cultivation in Xiaohe tribe was more than 30 years

Of course, this 30 years does not refer to the history of soybean cultivation in Xiaohe tribe. It has been more than ten years since the establishment of Xiaohe tribe. How can it be that soybean cultivation alone has lasted for more than 30 years?

This more than 30 years refers to the soybean growing history of the tribes where some members of the Xiaohe tribe used to live.

Xiaohe tribe is a secluded tribe. Although most of the people in the tribe are from the chekasa, there are some people like the Keri, Yuchi and even the Cherokee. The whole Xiaohe tribe is like a big grocery store, with her tolerant mind to accommodate the Indians who are not willing to participate in the war within a few hundred miles.

Several of the older Crees in the tribe are the main soybean growers. According to Lei Ying, when the Crees fled from the south to the Xiaohe tribe, they began to plant soybeans on the surrounding hillsides.

These Crees grew soybeans in their tribe for more than 30 years when they were very young.

Soybean is not very belly friendly, but it is a very good rotation crop. The Xiaohe tribe has known for a long time that the rotation of soybean in the farmland can raise the soil well and make the farmland more fertile.

Of course, this is also brought about by the Crees.

Obviously, the Crees in the south of Dawu Mountain are better at planting. These guys even know that planting soybeans can raise land.

But it's no surprise that the creeks understand these things. After all, the Crees lived further south, closer to the Spanish colony.

The Spanish entered the American continent on a large scale much earlier than those in Britain, France, Germany, Holland and Portugal. Although the Spanish did not develop much in North America, who knew that the Spanish would not bring soybean to the American continent earlier?

The Crees probably got the beans from the Spaniards.

Anyway, it's a surprise to get about 30 bags of soybeans in Xiaohe tribe this time.

If more than 30 bags of soybean are used as seeds, the soybean yield of gaoshu tribe will be greatly improved this year. More than 30 bags of soybean is nearly 800 Jin, so many seeds are enough to sow 150 mu of soybean field.

If the soybean seeds of gaoshu tribe are included, the soybean planting area of gaoshu tribe this year will be close to 300 mu!

Although it is impossible to extract oil on a large scale for the output of 300 mu soybean, there is no shortage of bean curd at least

”What do you think?” White cloud asks stone bear.

Tomorrow, the stone bear will leave. After dinner that evening, the stone bear will take Baiyun out for a walk as usual. However, when he takes a walk, he is distracted and only thinks about the soybeans, which makes Baiyun unhappy.

Also, there is such a charming beauty around you. If you don't think about it, you have to think about the round beans. No wonder the beauty is not happy.

”Oh...” the stone bear said with a sorry smile to the white cloud, ”I was thinking about the soybeans I saw in the afternoon. With these soybeans as seeds, our tribe will be able to harvest more soybeans this autumn. You may not know that our tribe also has soybeans, but the quantity is too small. The seeds left last year are not as much as those given to me by leader Lei Ying, so I have been worrying about where to get more soybeans. ”

It's not nonsense for Shi Xiong to say this. Some time ago, major hank brought a lot of crop seeds to Shi Xiong, but there were no soybeans. After all, although soybeans were planted in a large area in Europe at this time, no one had brought them to the new world, so major hank could not get soybeans.

As for the French, there is no such thing.

”Can you make more delicious tofu with these beans?” Baiyun asked excitedly. It seemed that she remembered the scene of eating tofu in gaoshu tribe last time. The girl couldn't help licking her tongue, as if she was savoring the delicious food.

”Well, this bean is used to make tofu. After that, there will be more soybeans in the tribe. I will make tofu for you every day. ” The stone bear said with a smile, while the girl nodded her head.

”In fact, in addition to bean curd, this soybean can also be used to extract oil, and the extracted oil can be used to make many dishes. As for the soybean meal left by oil extraction, it can also feed livestock and poultry... ”At this point, Shi Xiong could not help patting his forehead. He forgot that there were no captive animals in Xiaohe tribe, but there were some poultry, which were far less than those in gaoshu tribe.

Fortunately, when Baiyun went to gaoshu tribe last time, she had seen the tamed bison and a lot of poultry, so she was not surprised.

”It looks like a good thing.” White cloud has feeling of say.

Stone bear was about to tell Baiyun about other uses of soybeans in detail when he heard a loud noise in front of him.

”... a female bear... A wolf...”
