It snowed for three days and three nights, and finally stopped. The outside has returned to its silver-clad appearance.
The bent branches, just the breeze in the mountains, can make a lot of snow fall.
When Chao Chen woke up early in the morning, what he saw was this scene. Looking up, the sky has also cleared up, it is no longer gray, and the long-lost sun has also shown a smiling face.
Of course, like a lantern hanging in the sky, people can't feel any heat.
But it was good when the snow stopped, so Chen Chao took a few people to find some big rocks nearby. I plan to use the method of boiling water and splashing water to make another batch of stone axes, and equip them for the team that is about to set off.
But before that, the little follower of the Brown Witch must be sent back to lead people, and for the Brown Witch, just let him help to pick people from the Mushroom Tribe.
Anyway, people from other tribes cannot be present for this matter, after all, it involves the production of weapons. We can't blame Chen Chao for being stingy for the time being, it's because the strength of the Tianyuan tribe is too weak now, and they can't stand a little bit of twists and turns, and a little peeping from other tribes.
The method of making coir raincoats can be learned from the brown tribe, and the brown witches can also learn it if they want to. Only the production method of any weapon will never be disclosed.
If it is really going to be rumored, it must be that the Tianyuan tribe has mastered stronger weapons and production methods. Only when they can completely crush the opponent can they selectively export weapon technology.
After sending the Brown Witch to the Mushroom Tribe to select candidates, Chao Chen took Qu and Broken Finger Li Nong to find suitable stones nearby. There is a little old man guarding the cave, and the Mushroom Tribe has already negotiated, and the Brown Witch can just go there.
Yesterday, I had already discussed with several high-level officials of the Mushroom Tribe, and today I can exchange a few more clay pots.
This time the conditions can be relaxed, two adult women and four underage children can exchange a clay pot.
The minors here refer to half-children or girls, or those who are too young. Don't use it as an extra, it's too cold to take it home. If it is other seasons, it is relatively easy to say, but winter is really not good.
Mushroom Tribe changed two more. As for the Brown tribe, they have cooperated so many times, and they will be the chief coir raincoat supplier of the Tianyuan tribe in the future, so it is naturally cheaper.
So Chen Chao waved his hand and asked them to exchange two clay pots for the price of one from the Mushroom Tribe. In addition, they also presented them with a pair of straw sandals and a pottery bowl.
Of course, the Mushroom tribe also gave it away. It’s best not to favor one over the other for things like gifts that are on the surface~~
Finally, in the team brought back by Qu and Broken Finger Li Nong, six adult women and 12 half-children/girls were added, for a total of 42 people.
With so many people, not only food is a big problem, but also clothing is a big problem.
For the problem of eating, you can catch enough prey while walking, but you can't wear it. You can only squeeze from the original team when you wear it.
Almost everyone contributed their own animal skin quilt, and finally, under the coordination of Chen Chao and the little old man, the three of them built an animal skin quilt.
Before everyone came out, they brought two animal skin quilts, sleeping on one and covering the other. The little old man brought six cards alone, and Chao Chen also had four cards, totaling 28 cards.
Now there are nine people staying behind, and it is enough to leave four animal skin quilts, and the remaining one person can find a way to squeeze.
Moreover, there were two large black bear skins and three small black bear skins before, and a few more deer skins after that, but the deer skins have not been tanned, so there are only five black bear skins that can be used at present.
Of course, the alpaca coats of the little old man and Chen Chao must not be counted. After all, apart from animal skin quilts, everyone has warm animal skin clothes. So it's cold, no one can beat them.
This squeezed out 28 animal skins and solved the cold share of 28 people. It may not be possible to wrap the whole body like animal skin clothes, but it is still no problem to wrap it up to the chest.
In addition, the former team members of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the two high-level officials all contributed their spare animal skin clothes.
These 11 sets of complete cold-proof equipment must be worn by the hunting team in this squad. Of course, the main components here are men.
Since they have taken the best equipment, they have to take responsibility for the food source of the squad, and even include the safety of the entire team and prepare for various emergencies.
This solved the problem of equipment for 39 people, and finally there were three and a half children's cold-proof equipment, which could not be assembled.
Super Chen sighed, and finally contributed three little black bear skins. A few other people are squeezed into two big black bear skins, if they don't have enough sleep, they can squeeze with themselves and the little old man.
But fortunately, there are already several ready-made coir raincoats. If the three little black bear skins still feel cold, I can give them the coir raincoats. It is probably no problem to block the wind.
Anyway, I only carried it for two or three days, and there would be no problem at the foot of Tianyuan Mountain. Then free up a few empty baskets for them to load the pottery pots and bowls they need on the road.
If they need to pack their prey later on the road, clay pots and bowls can also be put on top of their heads as hats.
Super Chen also allocated enough food reserves for them to eat three meals. Even if they didn't hunt for three days, they would be able to survive to the vicinity of Tianyuan Mountain just by eating the food reserves and saving some food.
He also exchanged two pairs of straw sandals for a bag of mushrooms in animal skins. I also packed some chestnuts for them, all of which can be cooked together in soup, and of course a little salt was also added.
Around noon, the people gathered together, and the things that should be prepared for them were also prepared. Some ropes for fishing and making traps and slings were placed in the basket on the back of Broken Finger Renon, as well as the map to go back.
Taking advantage of the snow a few days ago and having nothing to do, Chen Chao and the little old man re-engraved a map for Li Nong to go back after class.
Qu is mainly responsible for the control of the weapons, and he is in charge of the five newly made stone axes. It's a bit heavy, but there's nothing I can do about it.
Grass A and Cao B in the killer five have not yet reached the level of trust that they can handle heavy weapons alone. At most, let them carry three more long grasses on their backs to protect or monitor the entire team.
Among them, the mushroom tribe and the brown tribe, and the people of the brown tribe are more trustworthy. Because the two parties have temporarily reached a coir raincoat cooperation agreement, as for the mushroom tribe, Chen Chao has not yet found sustainable resources and value from them.
They can't be allowed to collect mushrooms regularly and sell them to the Tianyuan tribe. It is possible, but the quantity may not be very large. Because mushrooms can only be used as a side dish, not as a staple food.
It is also a good choice to occasionally add new flavors to the members of the tribe, but this cannot be a necessary condition for restricting the tribe.
