Those years when I led the Fox Clan

Chapter 79 Warehouse
When Du Ge came to the gate of the granary, a dozen people came out pulling a wooden cart.Immediately, he smelled a rotten smell in the air, and stepped forward to stop the wooden cart.Climbing onto the wooden cart and looking inside, he found that the wooden cart was full of moldy or rotten fruits and vegetables, as well as some large pieces of meat.

Seeing this scene, Du Ge frowned, and a driver pulling the cart asked:
"What's going on with these?"

"My lord, these are all left over from the previous year. The rotten food at the bottom of the warehouse is no longer edible. It needs to be buried."

"Don't landfill it, send it to the farmland manure pile. They will naturally understand Duge's name."

The coachman agreed, and a dozen people pulled the wooden cart and left.

Du Ge's face was not very good-looking, and she walked towards the warehouse area.After showing the queen's token, he walked into the heavily guarded area.Upon entering the area, he smelled musty, alcohol and decay wafting through the air.

A middle-aged woman from the Blue Fox clan came up and greeted Du Ge with a flattering expression.The warehouse has received the order, Duge came back today to check the situation of the warehouse.Today's Duge, after proposing farming, has been exposed as a celebrity around the queen, and is also a hotly discussed figure among the elders and high-level officials.Therefore, even though he was a man, the small officials at the warehouse did not dare to neglect him.

"Take me to the meat storage area."

Du Ge proposed to check the storage of meat, because he saw large pieces of meat in the rotten wooden cart.In the absence of storage methods such as low temperature and salt curing, Du Ge couldn't think of any method they used to store meat.

"meat……"

After stopping Duge's order, the middle-aged woman who received him had an embarrassed expression on her face.After noticing her expression, Du Ge raised his eyebrows.

"What's wrong?"

"My lord, the food is all put together."

"What? You didn't store them separately?!"

"This……"

Du Ge frowned in surprise, he immediately understood why the Fox Clan had such a high food loss, feeling that they didn't know how to store food at all, they only focused on collecting food desperately, but didn't think about how to protect the food.

Under the leadership of the other party, Duge came to a warehouse, opened the door and walked in.

Then, just as Du Ge entered the door, he stepped on something soft under his feet, accompanied by a scream.

The unsuspecting Du Ge was taken aback, and he pulled out the Immortal behind him reflexively, holding it in his hand for guarding.However, the thing that startled him was...a mouse? !
The plump, round gray figure fled desperately, and got into a crack in the wood to escape.However, only the head went in, but the round body was stuck in the gap, unable to advance or retreat, screaming.

The veins on Duge's forehead twitched, the Immortal returned to its sheath, pointed at the mouse stuck in the gap, and asked the middle-aged woman behind him:
"How is this going?"

The middle-aged woman's forehead was covered with fine sweat, and she scolded her subordinates in her heart for not being able to do things well.Yesterday, when she heard that someone was coming, she organized a round of large-scale mouse-hunting operations, but she didn't expect to be hit.Looking at the round mouse again, she stammered:
"My... my lord, the warehouse rats are seriously infested. We hunt and kill many of them every day, but we still can't eradicate them."

Duge didn't say a word, looking at that fat, round mouse that dared to come out to move around in broad daylight, he knew how serious the rat problem was here.

"Haven't you ever fought?"

"We have special rat catchers who can catch many rats every day, but they still can't be eradicated. And these rats can also provide some meat..."

Speaking of this, the middle-aged woman couldn't continue because she saw Du Ge's livid face.

Duge raised his voice a little and asked:
"You use the mice you catch as food?!"

"Yeah... Food is in short supply, and any edible meat will not be let go."

"..."

Du Ge was silent for a while, not wanting to raise this question again, and walked towards the warehouse.After turning around, his complexion became more and more ugly.

At this stage, winter has just passed, and there is not much food here. The food left over from the previous winter is basically rotten. Seeing those randomly placed on the shelves, without classification, and without any traces of treatment, Duge is very suspicious of them How did it survive the winter.Moreover, the granary is closed, the air is humid and not circulated, and it is easy to breed bacteria and accelerate food corrosion.

There is simply random accumulation of food here, without any effective means of storage.

The latest game is piled outside, providing daily consumption, with only a few easily stored nuts on the shelves inside.

After turning around for a while, Duge didn't want to turn around anymore, he already understood the situation here.The means of storage is that the fox family has no idea how to extend the shelf life of food, and they don't know how to separate meat, vegetables and fruits.Du Ge asked again, and knew a thing or two about this situation.

Foxes start to store food on a large scale after autumn.And the temperature here in winter is very low. After all the simple treatment, the food will be frozen before the accumulated food rots until the winter.Therefore, the Fox family did not carefully study any storage methods.

Duge shook his head after listening to it. Meat can indeed be preserved in this way, because the meat is dead.But the living cells of fruits and vegetables will only be damaged by freezing.

After knowing a thing or two about the warehouse, he was ready to propose rebuilding the warehouse.

These granaries are useless at all. When the time comes, the soil wheat will be harvested and piled up here.It must be a bad batch every year, and I can't let it go.

Not only will the warehouse be rebuilt, but he will teach the fox clan how to store food.

The simplest form of air-dried, bacon.And after he makes salt, pickle it with salt, and store vegetables and fruits in cellars, etc.

However, the reconstruction of the warehouse is not in a hurry, because it is only the turn of spring and summer, and it will take a long time for a large number of planted things to be harvested, so he has delayed the reconstruction of the warehouse.After reporting the situation of the warehouse to the queen, Duge explained the simplest method of meat storage, air-dried meat strips, moisture-proof treatment and other principles to the warehouse people, and the warehouse was also assigned additional manpower to process the prey according to Duge's method .

After finishing all this, Duge looked towards Yaogu again.

Because when he returned to the laboratory, there was a jar of golden honey on the table!
That means the bear beekeepers have tamed the wild bees, and the hives are working, and the honey has been put into production.He gave the jar of honey directly to Alwei, and after teasing her for a while, Du Ge went to the Diplomatic Hall.Find the bearman diplomats and buy a few more honeycombs to expand honey production.

At the current stage, the various foundations of the Fox family are developing steadily and rapidly.

Duge began to focus on other aspects, that is, the strength of the tribe and improving the combat effectiveness of the fox tribe.

But Army Du Ge was not ready to intervene immediately, because he remembered the totem secrets that Yong Ye and Bai Tu carried.

　Dear friends, during this period of time, there will be a single update, a new update on the shelves, and then a double update for a month~
