I am a Primitive Man

The Qingque Tribe built twelve new houses this year, and they didn't run out of them all at once.

There are six remaining.

These six houses, Han Cheng, did not give up the Kang, and now four of them are used as granaries, with many large and small pots in them, all of which are filled with grain.

It seems that it is necessary to find time to make the scorpion, otherwise, after the production scale is expanded in the coming year, the storage of grain will become a headache.

Han Cheng looked at the millet in the tank and spread it out on the ground and thought.

The so-called scorpion is a long strip woven from the hard skin of sorghum stalks.

It is about thirty centimeters wide, and there is not much requirement for length.

This kind of thing is specially used to enclose food.

When not in use, roll it into a ball and tie it up with a rope, and put it in the corner without taking up space. (Things made of sorghum stalk skin are more flexible and can be circled into circles)

When using it, first pad the ground to avoid moisture as much as possible, and then find the scorpion to untie the rope, spiral up circle after circle, and circle out a circle, which is used to store grain.

As long as there are enough scorpions, it is not a problem to circle a cylinder with a diameter of two or three meters and a height of two or three meters.

This is actually a relatively primitive grain circle.

However, with the progress of the times and the development of science and technology, after glue and alloy products became more and more common, this kind of hand-woven grain circle made of local materials was gradually eliminated.

It was replaced by better and more convenient glue or alloy grain ring.

This kind of food circle can hold several tanks, which undoubtedly saves more space.

Glue and alloy grain rings Han Cheng didn't expect too much, sorghum husks are pretty good.

It seems that this is also a luxury...

Han Cheng sniffled helplessly. After all, he hadn't found sorghum until now.

But you can find substitutes. Millet stalks can also be made with some slender and tough grasses, but they are not as easy to use as those made from sorghum stalk skin.

Han Cheng now deeply feels the importance of carpenters and weavers.

After waiting, we need to select a few more talented people from the tribe to learn some skills from the lame.

These things, which were created with great difficulty on the basis of Han Cheng's memory, cannot be broken.

In this way, it will be easier for the lame, so that a lot of work will not be burdened on him.

In the future, he can become a master-like existence and do more 'cutting-edge' things.

Now what Lame does is cutting edge.

There are six vacant rooms, one of the remaining two is used to store sundries, and the other is regarded as a 'carpenter's room'.

Now the lame is staying in this room, sitting on a small tree stump, with an ax in one hand and a chisel in the other, he is seriously cutting a hole in a wooden board.

Not far from him, there is something with a relatively complicated structure.

This thing is the columbine that Han Cheng used charcoal to draw out the general structure and explained it to the lame, and then the lame acted as the main force. After more than a month of hard work, it was made.

A tall bucket used to hold seeds, three slightly forward-sloping hollow wooden legs with curvature, two shaft-like sticks extending forward, and a wide leather strap tied to the end Connect the two shafts together.

At the end is a handle that is higher than the wooden bucket, which is used to support the columbine and control the columbine cart.

This is the general structure of the columbine car.

The plank that Liao is making now is installed under the bucket.

The hole punched on the piece that is currently installed on the wooden bucket is not very suitable, which is not conducive to controlling the number of seeds flowing.

After many experiments and revisions failed, Lai decided to make a new piece.

The lame ax did a good job of cutting the surface of the boards clean.

But there is no flatness planed out by a plane.

When it is time to get the iron again, I will make another plane, so that the lame can have a relatively neat set of tools.

It's not that Han Cheng is eccentric. The iron that he finally got out is leaning towards the lame place. It's because carpentry is too important to the Qingque tribe.

After hearing what Han Cheng said about the plane, he walked happily without a limp.

He thought that chopping with an ax and sawing with a chainsaw would be fine, but he didn't expect that Shenzi knew such a more labor-saving tool.

I'm working harder now.

Three days later, the sky finally cleared up, and when the ground was a little dry, the millet that the Qingque Tribe collected in the house was forced to get out without waiting.

The millet has not been dried in the sun, and it is a little hot when covered. If it is in the continuous shade for a few days, it will become moldy.

The stomped millet pole was also pulled away and spread out on the scene, ready to be played a second time.

Seeing the millet drying in the yard, Wu and other members of the Qingque tribe laughed from ear to ear. From time to time, they would grab a handful with their hands and put them in front of their eyes to watch them carefully.

It was the first time they had seen so many millet!

Han Cheng was not as happy as Wu and the others, not because he didn't like the joy of harvest, but because the yield of millet was a bit low.

When he started harvesting, he deliberately chose a place with strong growth, measured an acre with a ruler, and asked people to store it separately and type it out separately.

The income from one mu of land is only less than one hundred catties. This kind of yield is really too little for Han Cheng who has seen that the yield per mu can easily exceed five hundred catties.

Calculated on the basis of one hundred catties per mu of land, the Qingque tribe's 30 mu of land can harvest only three thousand catties of millet.

In later generations, a small family with less than a few acres of land can easily surpass it.

Calculated based on one catty of millet per person per day, the Qingque tribe would consume more than one mu of harvest per day.

Even if there are too many babies in the tribe, each person can't eat a catty of millet, equivalent to 100 catties a day, the millet on the 30 mu of land can only be eaten by everyone for 30 days.

And that's not even counting seeds.

After working hard for half a year, the income is only less than a month's grain, but the harvest is not great.

Han Cheng thought this way, then shook his head and laughed lightly. This is just the beginning. After the millet is planted on a large scale in the coming year, the total output of millet will increase.

If the yield per mu is low, then there are multiple points. Anyway, the most indispensable thing now is land.

Even if the planting is extensive and the harvest is low, the total output can still be increased.

Moreover, the people of the Qingque tribe don't eat all the millet, and there are other foods that can be eaten, so they don't have to worry about food and clothing when the time comes.

To be honest, the current living standard of the Qingque tribe is not comparable to that of later generations, but it seems to have surpassed the prosperity of the feudal dynasty.

The so-called prosperity is that the people at the lower level drink water in their leisure time, eat dry food when they are busy, have salt vegetables for dinner, have a little surplus food at home after a year, and mix clothes on their bodies so that they will not be naked... This is a prosperous age.
