Jiang Xuan teased the child again, then rode on Crescent to continue patrolling the tribe.
When he reached outside the Stone Workshop, he unexpectedly found quite a few mbers of the Planting Team there, and everyone’s expression was quite exciting.
What’s going on?
Jiang Xuan felt puzzled, so he dismounted from Crescent, prepared to go inside and take a look.
Just at that mont, people inside started to rush out.
"It’s out! It’s out!"
The crowd gathered around Elder Blackstone, their eyes fixed on the tool in his hands.
Jiang Xuan only glanced at the tool but couldn’t take his eyes away.
"The Curved Plow! It’s really been made!"
What Elder Blackstone held was a wooden-stone structured Curved Plow.
The beam of the plow was made of naturally curved wood, and the plowshare and bed were also made of high-quality wood.
The plow blade and wall, however, were made of top-grade stone.
Among them, the most important plow blade was made of superior stone, extrely hard and not easily damaged.
This Curved Plow, though it looks simple, has actually been crafted over a long period and improved countless tis.
If it truly can be effective, the productivity of the Vine Tribe’s current production thod will be greatly enhanced!
After Jiang Xuan arrived, those gathered made way for him to enter.
Everyone held great respect for the leader.
Once inside, Jiang Xuan saw Gan Song squatting on the ground, tenderly caressing the Curved Plow as if it were a treasure.
"It’s completed?" Jiang Xuan looked at Elder Blackstone.
"Completed," Elder Blackstone confird with a nod.
"But, whether it can truly be used will have to wait until the snow lts, and we can try it out in the fields with the cattle."
Jiang Xuan nodded and said, "Then we’ll wait for the snow to lt to try it. If it works, your Stone Workshop will have achieved a great accomplishnt, and the rewards due will not be lacking."
Elder Blackstone humbly said, "Thank you, leader."
On the ground, Gan Song didn’t even want to speak; his eyes were solely on the Curved Plow.
He was greatly anticipating whether this thing could bring great changes to the Planting Team, as the leader said.
The mbers of the Planting Team, including others watching the excitent, eagerly discussed, all wanting to know what effects this tool could produce.
...
Five days later, the temperature gradually increased, and the thick snow on the ground mostly lted.
"Splashing sounds..."
In the Feiyu River, the water began to rush again; due to the massive ice lting, the water level even rose quite a bit.
In the fields, with the sunlight shining, the soil beca moist and soft enough to conduct the cattle plowing experint.
"Moo..."
Da Jiao personally brought the most obedient ox over, while Elder Blackstone brought the Curved Plow, equipped with ropes, to attach to the ox.
The Planting Team sent out its most experienced warrior in farming, who walked excitedly to the ox’s rear holding a Bamboo Whip.
Jiang Xuan, Chi Shao, along with many clansn of the Vine Tribe, gathered beside the farmland to witness this historic mont.
"It must succeed, it must succeed!"
Gan Song stood nervously aside; if it weren’t for his single hand, he would have personally conducted this experint.
Jiang Xuan walked beside the warrior responsible for plowing the field, teaching him how to use the Curved Plow.
"Hold the plow with your left hand, hold the Bamboo Whip with your right, and the Cow Rope, right, hold it well."
Under Jiang Xuan’s guidance, the planting team warrior nervously held the plow, the Bamboo Whip, and the Cow Rope.
"Okay, now urge the ox to move forward."
"Hey, move!"
Following Jiang Xuan’s instructions, the warrior waved the Bamboo Whip without actually hitting the ox’s rear.
This ox was tad by the Divine Vine and was very obedient, not needing a nose piercing or forceful whipping.
"Moo!"
The tall ox let out a low growl, then lowered its head and began pulling the Curved Plow forward.
At the ox’s shoulder position, was a curved wooden pole, tied with sturdy ropes at both ends, connecting to the Curved Plow.
When the ox moved forward, the Curved Plow was pulled along.
"Stirring sounds..." "Squelch..."
After the ox took two steps, the plow blade entered the soil, continuing to move forward.
The soil was initially dug open by the plow blade, and upon encountering the curved plow wall, it imdiately tumbled to the left.
As the ox continued forward, a row of overturned earth was left behind, deeply dug and very even.
When the ox reached the field edge, Jiang Xuan walked over again, guiding the warrior to first shift the plow tail, then pull the Cow Rope to make the ox turn.
This step was a bit challenging; it took about four or five attempts before the warrior and ox learned how to make turns.
Ti gradually passed.
The coordination between warrior and ox shifted from early stumbling to forming a slight rapport, and the speed of plowing the field continually increased, with rows of earth swiftly overturned.
When the entire field was completely plowed, and the ox dragged the Curved Plow back to shore, everyone present cheered.
"It’s a success, success!"
Gan Song excitedly waved his fist, his face flushed with overwhelming excitent.
Jiang Xuan also felt very happy; finally, they wouldn’t have to rely solely on manpower to plow the fields.
Elder Blackstone let out a sigh of relief; the Curved Plow had been crafted for a very long ti, and now, achieving success, his efforts had finally not been in vain.
The warrior responsible for plowing, looking at the entirely overturned soil, felt as if it were a dream.
