Chapter 123 Seed Quality is Important
"Yu, are you kidding me about this?"
No matter how precious the prescription for assisting pregnancy is, even if it is left behind, it may not be really useful. However, if one can understand the other party's thinking behind using the medicine, perhaps it can give their witch some inspiration.
Yu nodded slightly, "That's what the lady said."
The chief and the witch looked at each other. They were the backbone of the tribe, so they lived together.
Therefore, it was not difficult for Yu to come over and call for help.
"Then go have a look."
The patriarch said this, but in fact he still didn't quite believe that such a good thing would happen.
Seeing that the witch was so old and still wanted to run with him, he felt sorry for her and said, "Master Qingwu, you don't have to go. I will go there myself with the papyrus and charcoal pencil."
Qing Wu shook his head and said, "No, I want to go over and take a look."
As he said this, he looked at Yu, "I think the lady wouldn't mind if we all went over there."
Yu shook her head. "That lady originally just left the prescription and left, but she did say that the prescription had to be reviewed by Master Qing Wu before use."
Qing Wu smiled and looked at the clan leader, "It seems that we have indeed met a kind-hearted lady."
The clan leader also touched his eight-pointed beard and said, "I am too petty."
Since that lady has emphasized that Yu and the others should show the prescription to Lord Qingwu, there should be no problem with the prescription.
"Let's go together."
Lord Qingwu stood up by holding the table, and the two disciples standing beside him immediately came forward to support him.
"Need not."
He waved his hand and said, "Since that lady doesn't want to act in a high-profile manner, then we two old men will go."
The two disciples had no choice but to look at Yu and the clan leader. Just as Yu was about to step forward, the clan leader smiled helplessly and said, "I'm not old yet," then took a step forward and supported Qing Wu.
Qing Wu chuckled and pointed at the white hair on his head and said, "You said you don't age, but your white hair is getting more every day."
The beastmen in the room subconsciously looked at the chief's head and saw that half of his originally black hair had turned white. They couldn't help but feel sad.
The clan leader said with a smile, "Doesn't this make them look more mature? Finally, they don't have to pretend to be profound in front of Jiu."
Seeing that he couldn't control the two blue-level orcs when he was young, the two blue-level orcs became easier to talk to when he was old.
The patriarch no longer cared about the white hair.
"Next time Jiu acts like a fool in front of you, tell me. You are the chief of the Kunhe tribe, how can you let them suppress you?"
When the patriarch heard Qing Wu say this, he just smiled and said nothing.
For the development of the tribe, it is not easy for anyone.
Like when the purple-rank orc was fighting with his companions before, Jiu Ming knew it was not good to get close to them, but for the safety of the tribe, he still stayed up all night watching them.
So even though the chief knew that Jiu and the other cubs were bullying the tribe, as long as they didn't go too far, he would be tolerant and generous to the two cubs. This was a concession that the chief had to make to the two blue-level orcs.
Only by making them feel that the tribe gives them the status and treatment they want can the Kunhe tribe keep them.
……
It was the first time that Yu He saw a witch outside after leaving the Wushan tribe. She originally just wanted to leave the prescription and go back, but after hearing Qing Wu's evaluation of the prescription, she immediately sat up again.
"This prescription is quite novel. It actually has separate medicines for males and females. In the past, we always prescribed medicine for females."
After all, females are the orcs who get pregnant. If they can't get pregnant, except for the case where the male is in poor health and has no reproductive ability, most of the time, witches think that there is something wrong with the female's body that causes her to not get pregnant.
But we can't blame them. This is a world with one female and many males. There can't be so many males. It would be fine if one of them failed, but so many males are working hard to farm, and the females still can't get pregnant, but they still blame the males for their problems.
Meeting Qing Wu's smiling gaze, Yu He smiled, "Master Qing Wu, have you heard the story of bee pollination?"
Qing Wu shook his head slightly, "I'd like to hear the details."
"That's it."
Yu He pondered for a moment, "I used to live in a small tribe. The tribe was small, so the hunting we went out to harvest was often not enough to sustain the food for the winter.
So, in addition to hunting, we also look for various other foods and try to dry them into dried fruits or salt them, or preserve them in ice collected during the previous cold season to make the food last longer."
Hearing this, Qing Wu nodded in understanding.
The clan leader and Yu looked thoughtful, and Kong looked at Yu He in surprise.
"Among them, we found several edible fruits. They only need to be picked before the dry season and then dried in the sun to be used as dried fruits and used as winter food reserves.
During this time, as we were trying to find ways to pick more fruit, our tribe discovered a pattern. Compared to bone trees, which are favored by birds and insects, fruit trees pollinated by bees produce more fruit.
Qing Wu looked thoughtful, but Yu He continued to make up her story. Although the story was made up, the research results were confirmed in modern times.
As for whether the Wushan tribe has bees like bumblebees, it is unlikely that the orcs of the Kunhe tribe will go there in person to verify this.
"But among several species of bees, the fruit tree pollinated more by bumblebees produced more fruit.
So in order to get more edible fruits, when the fruit trees are in bloom during the high season, some orcs in our tribe will go to farther places to catch bumblebees so that the bumblebees can pollinate the fruit trees in larger numbers and more densely.
When necessary, we even raise bumblebees to study why only bumblebees can pollinate fruit trees more easily."
"So what are the research results?"
Qing Wu asked without hesitation.
Yu He's eyes curved. "There are several reasons, but I think the two most important ones are: first, bumblebees are in good health and have enough stamina to continuously pollinate everywhere."
"cough"
The patriarch almost choked on his own saliva. What should he say? This lady looks gentle, but how could she be so bold in speaking?
Qing Wu glared at him and waved his hand to tell him to sit further away so as not to disturb him from listening to Yu He's speech.
This was the first time he had heard of this research method: studying the living habits of other species and then associating it with orc pregnancy.
It has to be said that Yu He did give him a great inspiration.
"Secondly, bumblebees naturally have many small hairs on their bodies, so when they land on flowers, they pick up a lot of pollen. When there are more of them, the fruit trees are more likely to bear fruit."
After saying that, Yu He got to the point, "So I wrote this prescription for both males and females. Females may have difficulty conceiving due to physical reasons, but if the seeds sowed by males are of good quality, then even if the soil is lacking in nutrients, the seeds will always germinate.
"Master Qing Wu, have you ever seen weeds growing everywhere? The vitality of this weed seed must be quite strong. As long as there is water and sunlight, it can continue to survive even in the cracks of rocks."
What this means is that the seeds must be of good quality.
