After dinner, Chen Chao lay on the fire pit in a daze, and the Wu next to him was still awake, tossing and turning.
His mind was full of what Chen Chao said today, and then he wondered whether he could manage the Tianyuan tribe when it became so big in the future, how would he manage so many people
Will there be enough food? This small river is too small, and I'm afraid it will really not be enough by then.
Remember where so many people live
Now this cave is used to store dried meat and firewood for winter, as well as the Chestnut Mountain and the Grass Mountain, so it will be a bit crowded for more people to live in.
When the tribe grows bigger, where will those people live? And where do they put their food
The little old man remembered that Chen Chao said that the current place is too small, the new residence must have a place to build houses for the people in the tribe, and there must be a high wall, so that no wild beasts can attack us again .
yes! Isn't it just too small! Oh, why didn't I think of this!
The Tianyuan tribe can produce this new stone basin now, and it can be replaced by other tribes at that time! Even the rattan baskets made by the collection team can be exchanged for population!
And straw sandals!
Maybe rattan baskets and straw sandals are not as valuable as stone basins, but your tribe can make them quickly! And these materials are all over the place, isn't it true that every person exchanged is picked up by the Tianyuan Tribe for nothing
Hmm... 5 rattan baskets can be exchanged for an adult woman, and 3 pairs of straw sandals can also be exchanged for one. Adult men may not be easy to exchange, but they should be able to exchange stone basins. If it is really difficult to exchange, you can lower the price. Anyway, it is very easy for your own tribe to do this...
At that time, a stone basin is exchanged for a man and an underage woman. Those tribes who have never seen these new stone basins will definitely rush to exchange them.
You must know that the stone basins polished by stones in the past are really difficult to polish. One generation may not be able to polish one. Basically, few tribes will choose to exchange their own stone basins. One is that it is not easy to polish, but it is really too expensive. As far as a tribe he knows, three men and six little girls were exchanged for a stone basin.
At the price of the stone basins of our own tribe, those people will not be able to grab them like crazy!
Moreover, compared with those stone pots, the pottery pots of our own tribe are not only lighter, but also can be roasted on the fire. These are the advantages that the old stone pots do not have...
What's more... my own tribe has a big killer...
That's Saltstone...
But this thing can't be taken out too early, and it can't be taken out too much at once... What if others are jealous...
At least my tribe will become a big tribe... The little old man gradually fell asleep in his imagination...
Chen Chao hadn't slept yet. He thought of the tree tribe 100 kilometers away from the Tianyuan tribe. It's winter, so I don't know what happened to the tree tribe...
He closed his eyes slightly, trying to connect with the electronic sound in his consciousness.
After getting a response, Chen Chao whispered, "I want to see the tree tribe."
"Valid instructions." A familiar and friendly electronic voice sounded in the consciousness.
The dense forest with many bamboo houses appeared in Chen Chao's area again. Apart from the moonlight, he could occasionally hear a few whispers.
First, I went to check their winter stock. There was obviously a lot more meat than before, and even animal skins also increased a lot.
The paddy is not bad, it has increased, but it is only in the general situation. And thanks to the increase in animal hides, many of the animal hides loaded with rice were obviously only recently eliminated. Showing a half-old state, without the obvious holes before.
In addition, there are many more green fruits, but due to the intolerance to storage, obvious mold spots have appeared on many fruits.
Chen Chao went to look at the fruit forest again. Unfortunately, many of them had fallen to the place and began to rot. It seemed that the tree tribe could not rely on this fruit forest in winter.
Turning his attention to the tree tribe again, in the largest bamboo house in the woods, Shu and Wu, the leaders of the tree tribe, were lying shivering in a piece of animal skin, shivering from time to time, saying that Super Chen couldn't understand dialect.
The two talked for a while, then reached out and picked up a moldy fruit from the side and put it in their mouths, biting off the bitter part and spitting it out, and eating the rest as normal.
Because there was no light, the tree and the witch could not see clearly which places were bad and which places were good.
Although there are sweet and sour fruits to fill their stomachs, they still feel hungry, hungry and cold.
Although they were so hungry that they scratched their hearts and livers, both of them were trying to close their eyes and try to fall asleep. At noon tomorrow, they would be able to eat delicious rice in bamboo tubes.
Although the tree tribe had Professor Chen Chao's bamboo raft to pick fruit and sharper spear weapons, but because it was late autumn at that time, even with the overtime efforts of the whole tribe, they could barely save enough food for the winter.
And because the fruit is not easy to preserve, it will be broken after a period of time after being picked. So the tree tribe has been working hard to eat fruit recently, except for the bamboo tube meal at noon. The rest of the time, I am trying to satisfy my hunger with fruits. One is that the meat is very precious and not durable, and the other is that the fruits collected through hard work are not willing to spoil.
That's why even the tribal leaders and witches tried their best to eat fruit when they were hungry.
While the two of them were up, Super Chen went to check the resources near the tree tribe. In fact, the resources of the tree tribe are very rich. There are many animals and few people in the tree tribe.
The reason why they build bamboo houses on trees is also to prevent the attacks of animals.
It can be seen that there are actually many animals around here, but the people of the tree tribe are not good at catching them, so they end up relying on cold wild fruits to satisfy their hunger in the winter.
And there is a large bamboo forest near them. In addition to bamboo and bamboo shoots, the most common thing in the bamboo forest is bamboo rats!
Besides, isn’t there winter bamboo shoots in winter? That is a genuine seasonal delicacy. When Chen Chao thought of fried winter bamboo shoots with bacon, braised winter bamboo shoots in oil, braised pork trotters with winter bamboo shoots, etc., his mouth watered.
When eating bamboo shoots, it is best to blanch them in boiling water for 5-10 minutes, and then stir-fry them with other foods. Blanching the bamboo shoots in water can reduce their astringency and make the taste more delicious.
However, the Tree Tribe does not have a tool like a pottery pot, which allows them to put some winter bamboo shoots in when cooking bamboo rice. The taste may not be as good as fried, but it should not be bad.
Although the tree tribe has lived here for a long time, it is not surprising that they don't know that bamboo shoots can be eaten. After all, whether every kind of food is edible now, it has to be bought at the price of life.
Moreover, the tree tribe's main focus on bamboo forests is 'use', not food. In their eyes, old and big bamboos can be used to cook rice in bamboo tubes, grown bamboos can be used to build herringbone-shaped bamboo houses, and now they can also be used to make bamboo rafts.
So when they see small bamboos, they generally don't think about whether they can be eaten, but choose to let the small bamboos grow into big bamboos, so that they can have a steady stream of bamboo to use.
In addition to bamboo, there are also many bamboo rats in the bamboo forest. (Wild bamboo rats may carry viruses, so please don’t try to catch and eat them.)
Bamboo rats get their name because they eat bamboo, so bamboo is the best food for breeding bamboo rats. It likes to inhabit bamboo forests, massoniana pine forests and under the grass on sunny slopes of mountains, living in camps and living in caves. They are more active at night, eat less during the day and sleep more, and eat vigorously at night.
A bamboo mouse is as big as a hare. When the tree tribe has staple food, a bamboo mouse can at least feed an adult, especially in winter when there is not much exercise.
In addition to the delicious meat, the bamboo rat's fur is also a good material for making animal skin clothes. The bamboo rat's fur is soft, rich in plush, shiny in color, and of good quality. It is the raw material for fur.
Although it doesn't look very big, it is easy to grab. And as long as you grab enough, it's easy to make enough materials for a fur suit.
Moreover, the bamboo rats here have always lived freely. Apart from the occasional need to guard against natural enemies such as cats, foxes, and snakes, they have not yet experienced large-scale capture by two-legged beasts.
So it can be shortened to say that I haven't really been beaten by life, and I don't know what it is to be taken away by a nest.
Chen Chao withdrew his gaze from the bamboo forest, and then looked at the bamboo house of Shu He Wu, the leader of the tree tribe.
In addition to the sound of some sparse leaves shaking, two words that Chen Chao could understand could be heard repeating in the bamboo house.
I only heard Shu and Wu muttering to themselves, "Bamboo raft...bamboo raft...bamboo raft..."
