Chapter 220 Reflection
This was the first time Leyou and Leting had heard of this. Ever since Lezhi and Lezhong started making inventions in the tribe, their Lingyu tribe's life seemed to have become much more interesting.
"The clan leader is still as ambitious as ever. But then again, he's just idling around anyway, so it's good to find something to do."
"Yes, that's what the chief said too. He said that if the tribe has more food reserves, its ability to withstand risks will increase a lot, and everyone's life will be better. Although it's a bit harder than in previous years, it's all worth it."
Judging from Leyou and Leting's attitudes, they are quite accepting of the changes in the tribe, which puts Lezhi at ease.
Stone fruit has been given a second life, and the vermicelli made from it reportedly sold very well at this year's hunting festival and was very popular with other tribes. Of course, this success is inseparable from the vigorous promotion by Lezhi and his snack stall.
In short, it allowed Le Chu to really shine in front of Qing Lin and Yu Yan. In previous years, they were always crushed by the Long Tail Clan because they didn't have any special products. This year, the only one who was crushed was the Windwalker Clan. Le Chu said that it felt pretty good not to be at the bottom.
Having tasted success, Lechu began planning how to expand her advantage. The vermicelli workshop was thriving, and in addition to stone fruit, Lechu also mentioned sweet starch fruit as a raw material, and told Lechu that she could try various plants with high starch content.
Having given their advice, Lezhi no longer needed to worry about the rest. The tribespeople used to be carefree and lacked goals and motivation, but they were not unintelligent. As long as they were given a general direction, they could quickly apply what they learned to other situations, as can be seen from the various starch products that appeared later.
In short, the Spirit Feather Clan is not short of starch products now, and Lezhi has brought back wheat, a great weapon. The change in the staple food structure of the Tree Spirit Clan will begin with the Spirit Feather Clan.
It's also possible that the Windwalker Clan should be included. Thinking of the bread Qingti had given him before, Lezhi felt a little ashamed. Qingti had successfully made bread with just a few words from him, but no matter how Lezhi tried, he always failed. It seems that he can't shake off the title of "bread killer" in this life.
Fortunately, under his encouragement, Leju has successfully mastered the dough-making technique. Lezhi plans to rely on Leju to carry forward the pastry-making business, while he will only be responsible for providing ideas and food.
The sign of growth is recognizing oneself.
Lezhi had no obsession with this. He didn't think he was special just because he had memories of an extra lifetime. He didn't think he could do everything himself and do it perfectly. That was something no normal person could do. Lezhi saw things very clearly.
He was just an ordinary person, no different from the people around him. He would get frustrated, feel down, and fail, but he would also get up after falling and keep moving forward. That's all.
The stove and pot were given to Leyou and Leting, and the flint embedded in the stove was activated. Soon, the pot in front of them began to gurgle, bringing a unique touch of warmth to the quiet cave.
"Oh, Lezhi, you brought mushrooms too? Give me some, I've already finished the mushrooms I dried before."
"Okay, Leting, do you want some? I also have gray leaf, green leaf, purple gourd, and ground cherries. Don't just eat meat; a balanced diet is better."
Muttering to himself, Lezhi divided the vegetables among Leting and Leyou before they could answer. As winter approached, Lezhi noticed that his friends' diets had become increasingly unbalanced, consisting mostly of meat, a small amount of fruit, and practically no vegetables.
"It's because we couldn't find vegetables in the winter before, so we got used to it." Who would have thought that Lezhi, this oddball, would actually think of opening a vegetable garden at home, so that the plants they regularly eat can basically be consumed without shortage, which also opened Leyou's eyes.
“I have enough here. Actually, I brought some myself.” Le Ting was much more accepting than Le You. Le You really didn’t like planting. He preferred to run around outside and couldn’t stay still for a moment, let alone settle down to take care of plants.
"Hey, Le Ting, you also grew some big greens? They're growing really well~" Seeing Le Ting take out the big greens he had grown himself, although they were obviously a bit smaller than the ones Le Zhi had grown, Le Zhi still didn't hold back in praising them.
"Well, none of the others grew successfully, only the greens survived. They've finally grown to be ready to eat, so I brought some with me." Her cheeks flushed from Lezhi's praise, Leting shared some of her greens with Lezhi and Leyou.
"Come on, you should try it and see how it is."
"Thank you. By the way, besides the greens, do you have any other crops that grow?" Yuezhi asked curiously when she heard Yueting say that the greens were the only crop that could be grown.
"Well, the moss is doing alright, all sorts of things have survived, but other things like cucumbers, the leaves are growing very well, but they just don't bear fruit, and the purple gourds are the same, they just flower but don't bear fruit. I was thinking of asking you about it when I had time, but I haven't found the opportunity yet."
No result?
Upon hearing Le Ting's question, Le Zhi was taken aback and suddenly felt that it was both funny and absurd.
"Oh, I see. Haha~, no wonder you didn't ask me sooner." Lezhi smiled helplessly and explained to the puzzled Leting, "The fact that it can bloom means there's nothing wrong with what you planted it. The reason it doesn't bear fruit is because it wasn't pollinated."
"pollination?"
"Yeah, I'm telling you..."
He explained the rules of plant reproduction to Leting and Leyou, who was listening in, in his own words, and received two pairs of eager eyes. Lezhi's desire to be a teacher was greatly satisfied.
"Oh, I see. Okay, I'll try it when I get back. Oh dear, what a pity about those. I saw they weren't bearing fruit, so I pulled them all out. Now I have to replant them." Le Ting was a little annoyed, realizing the answer was so simple. He should have just asked Le Zhi directly; it would have been a simple question.
"It's alright, you learn from your mistakes. You can only succeed by learning from your failures." Using an ancient proverb, Lezhi finally felt that the past few decades had not been wasted.
"Wow, Lezhi, you sounded like an old man just now. You sounded older than Uncle Lezhong and the clan chief." Leyou always missed the point.
Is the point about his old-fashioned appearance? The point is clearly his extensive knowledge.
Le Zhi glanced at Le You with annoyance. He couldn't keep up the intellectual act anymore. He was just not cut out to be a teacher. It was fine if he encountered someone as studious as Le Ting, but if it was someone like Le You, Le Zhi just wanted to roll his eyes at him and then turn around and leave without saying another word.
However, thanks to Leyou's witty remarks, Leting's annoyance was largely dispelled, and the atmosphere became relaxed and lively again. They spent lunch happily amidst their bickering.
After cleaning up the mess they had created, Lezhi looked around to make sure nothing was left out before slowly getting up.
Inside the bundle in front of her chest, the fledgling was still fast asleep, unmoved even by the aroma of its recent meal. Although Lezhi didn't say anything, she was constantly worried.
Maoqiu was nowhere to be found. Although Lezhi knew that Maoqiu's survival skills in the wild were stronger than the three of them combined, she was still very worried. During this time, Lezhi had reflected on her actions countless times, regretting that she shouldn't have argued with Maoqiu.
