I am a Primitive Man

The weather is hot, the surrounding vegetation is motionless, and the leaves are a little wilted by the hot sun.

In such weather, the Qingque tribe's road construction team is still working.

Although the time when the sun is in full bloom has been avoided, everyone is still sweating profusely when building roads in the sun.

The sun is still second to none, and the most uncomfortable thing is that the weather is so sultry that it is almost breathless.

Many men chose bare backs, and some bolder women also unbuttoned the front of their clothes.

It's just that the weather is too stuffy, even if the clothes on the body are reduced as much as possible, the sweat on the body is still flowing out, and the clothes on everyone's bodies are covered with white marks in circles.

This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that among the road builders, many people have become a little bit unable to eat.

It was under such circumstances that several two-wheeled donkey carts were driving towards this side along the road that had been built.

On the donkey cart in the front, there was still a green sparrow flag.

The tribe is coming! The tribe is coming!

Even in such weather, after seeing the fluttering green sparrow flag and the people driving the donkey cart, the road builders couldn't help cheering.

Son of God knew that you were too hot to eat, so he asked us to bring delicious food!

As soon as the drivers met the cheering and repairing people, they announced the good news with joy on their faces.

As soon as such words were uttered, the already excited crowd became even more excited.

What delicious food? We don't even want to eat when it's hot...

Someone asked.

Wait until you know, this kind of food, you can't eat enough!

The visitor said with a mysterious and proud face, but he also played tricks.

Then began to move the things pulled by the donkey cart down.

The first thing to be carried down was a group of stone mills.

This kind of stone mill is different from the first stone mill made in the tribe. The bottom stone mill and the surrounding ravines for receiving ground soybean milk are hewn from the same piece of granite.

Such a stone mill is easy to move.

After the stone mill was moved down, there were two tanks of raw peas that had been soaked in water since the start.

There were also three bags of dried peas, and some other food.

Several people found things like stones, set up a table under the shade of a tree by the side of the road, and then supported the movable stone mill on it. After placing it firmly, they began to scoop the soaked peas into the mill eyes. Here, start grinding the peas in circles.

The members of the road repair team, while repairing the road, looked at this side expectantly, waiting for this new food sent by the Son of God to appear...

delicious!

Is there any more? Have another bowl...

When the jelly was made, someone scraped it into the basin with a bronze scraper, prepared it, and announced that it was ready to eat. In this open-air cafeteria, there was a sound of snoring and drinking jelly. , mixed with people's vague admiration.

The people from the tribe are right, this is indeed a good food that can whet your appetite in such weather!

Hi~

After Dazuo burped, he licked the corner of his mouth again. After eating three bowls of jelly, he felt that the pores all over his body were comfortably opened.

Looking at the bags of raw peas in animal skin bags, Dazuo shook his head regretfully.

Dazuo is a slave from the Bannong tribe, shaking his head at this moment is not because he thinks the jelly made from raw peas is not tasty, but because he thinks of the past.

Before the original tribe was broken, the current tribe did not have this kind of food that the Son of God called peas.

However, after the peas came to this tribe, under the leadership of Shenzi, not only did they grow better than those in their tribe, but they also used them to make such delicious food!

Even though I saw with my own eyes how those people in the tribe used peas to make delicious and appetizing jelly that people can't eat enough,

But Bigfoot still couldn't believe it.

You know, their tribe has owned and grown this kind of food for many years, and there is no way to eat it other than adding water to the earthen pot and cooking it.

But today's tribes use it to make jelly that is not only good-looking, but also delicious...

Not only this person has such an idea, but the rest of the original semi-agricultural tribes are basically the same at this time.

Such a comparison between the two not only raises the idea that the original tribe is far inferior to the current tribe, but also has more respect for the Son of God, and has become more identified with the current tribe...

After eating the delicious and refreshing jelly, the members of the road construction team took a short rest and continued to build the road with great enthusiasm.

The Son of God didn't forget about them, and made delicious food, which was pulled so far from the tribe in a donkey cart, specially made for them to eat.

Under such circumstances, what reason do they not have to repair the road?

The dreary weather can't stop everyone from working hard to build roads...

In the Qingque tribe, after getting jelly, a good summer food, Han Cheng didn't feel happy for a long time, and then he was affected again.

It's not because the jelly lacks various seasonings and is not flavorful enough, but because there is a problem with the rattan armor in the tribe!

There is nothing to say about lame craftsmanship, and the rest of the tribe who followed lame to learn crafts also did not learn the noble quality of cutting corners.

The quality problems of the rattan armor in the tribe have nothing to do with their craftsmanship, but a problem with the later maintenance.

The rattan armor is different from the rattan shields in the tribe. Rattan shields are generally only held during training, or when a few go out to fight, while the rattan armor, when the road repair team starts to repair roads, basically follow the regulations Everyone should wear it.

This is an order issued by Han Cheng to prevent accidents during road construction.

For Han Cheng's order, the people in the tribe naturally obeyed, except when the heat was unbearable, almost no one took it off.

Under the conditions of being exposed to the wind and the sun all day long, and experiencing some dew from time to time, these rattan armors that are often worn by people gradually have problems.

Compared with when it was newly weaved, these rattan armors have begun to fade slowly.

This is not the most serious place, the most serious place is the edge of the rattan armor.

When weaving rattan armor with rattan, the edges need to be folded in half greatly.

During this process, many canes will be twisted and split.

The cracked rattan not only lost the protection of the bark, but a rattan was also divided into several parts. Normally, the firmness and toughness would not be affected, but the ability to resist corrosion would be greatly weakened.

In summer, the wind and the sun, coupled with the humidity of the air, and the soaking of sweat, these places are easily corroded.

Looking at the edge of the pair of rattan armor in his hand, there were already two rattan armors that broke after a few hard snaps with his fingernails because of deterioration, Han Cheng's eyebrows furrowed a little.

Limp aside said that he could repair the damaged vine armor.

After shaking his head, Han Cheng did not agree.

Han Cheng knew how to repair rattan armor, that is, he took out part of the broken rattan and replaced it with a new rattan.

The rattan that was filled in later was naturally not as strong as the rattan that was directly woven in before.

The reason for this is secondary. The most important thing is that Han Cheng thinks it is too troublesome to do so.

The use period of the rattan armor is too short, and quality problems appear within half a year, and various repairs are required later. This feeling is really bad.

If there are quality problems after two or three years of use, this is still within Han Cheng's acceptable range, but now it is only half a year...

The rattan armor in the tribe will grow to hundreds of pairs in the future. If you don’t want to solve it fundamentally, then you will have more troubles later, and you will almost have to arrange a special person to repair the rattan armor...

How to make the rattan armor stronger and more resistant to corrosion, the method Han Cheng knew, because in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Mr. Kong Ming wrote it when he set fire to the Nanman rattan armor army.

That is to soak the woven rattan armor with oil, and then dry it. After it is dry, continue to soak it and then dry it.

The rattan armor made by this method will become extremely tough, able to resist cutting with knives and axes, and will not be exposed to rain, because after water falls on it, it will become water droplets and slide to the ground. Can't adsorb

Moreover, the buoyancy of the rattan armor produced by this method is not small, and it can be used as a life jacket at critical moments.

The only downside is the fear of fire.

However, it is not easy to burn the Fujikor army with fire, you need to push the Fujikor army into a desperate situation first.

From this point of view, this rattan armor is indeed very suitable for the current Qingque tribe.

It's just that knowing the way is not enough, because there is no oil in the tribe.

If there is oil, Han Chengcheng had already started to deal with the rattan armor as early as when the rattan armor was made.

The oil used to soak rattan shells is not ordinary edible oil, but tung oil.

Tung oil is squeezed from the fruit of the tung oil tree. Even in later generations, it is still an important industrial oil.

In the past few years, between the Qingque tribe and other tribes, the exchange of new seeds and stones for salt, pottery and other things has never stopped, but from these fruits, Han Cheng did not find the shadow of tung oil eggs .

Han Cheng is no stranger to tung oil trees and their fruit 'tung oil eggs', because they have planted tung oil trees more than once on the slopes there.

However, most of the tung oil trees did not grow.

Because within two years, these trees will be dug down and the rest of the trees will be replanted.

In Han Cheng's impression, gardenia trees, tung oil trees, jujube trees, pear trees, and chestnut trees have been planted one after another.

Want to try fatty oil?

Without tung oil, Han Cheng could only focus on the fatty oil.

Although I know that it won't work in all likelihood, but since I can't get tung oil, I can only try this way.

After all, there is also the word 'oil' in the fatty oil, if it is, wouldn't it be beautiful?

So, next, Dashenzi Han did something that made many people in the tribe feel distressed, that is to use a brush made of semi-solidified fat oil with wild boar hair, and brush it on the rattan armor over and over again. .

After asking Miko, I found out that this was done to make the rattan armor stronger and more durable.

The second senior brother stared at the rattan armor covered with grease, swallowing uncontrollably.

The second senior brother didn't really believe what Shenzi said that applying oil might make the rattan armor stronger, because he thought he could eat the rattan armor that had been smeared with oil!

After a few days, Han Cheng stopped brushing the rattan armor with grease and then drying it in the sun.

This is not only because the effect is not good, but it is also very easy to attract flies, and more importantly, it is very expensive to do so!

Animal fat oil is the only edible oil in the tribe and has a high status in the tribe.

To obtain fatty oil, animals must be killed, and then the fattened parts are put into clay pots for refining.

But at this time, the Qingque tribe did not have the ability to feed all kinds of animals to grow pigs, and often after slaughtering an animal, they would not get much fat.

And in addition to being used for eating, these fatty oils have another use, that is, after boiling, add plant ash and stir continuously to make soap.

This thing also consumes a lot of fat oil.

Under such circumstances, even if fat oil really has a good effect on rattan armor, Han Cheng can't choose to use it too much to brush rattan armor, because it is too prodigal!

He is simply the number one prodigal son of the Qingque tribe!

Under such circumstances, it would be more cost-effective to directly arrange for a person to weave and repair the rattan armor.

After tossing around like this, he returned to the original point again. The damaged rattan armor was still repaired by Li Na, which made Han Cheng quite depressed.

But depression is depression. Under such circumstances, Han Cheng has no other choice but to be depressed. He can only continue to be depressed until he is no longer depressed...

When Han Cheng was very depressed because of the oiling of the vine armor, something happened to the Qingque tribe's road construction team working ahead!

A small autumn rain fell, and the autumn tiger that continued to show off was driven away.

The words of one autumn rain and one cold are not false at all.

The weather, which was still very sultry before, became cooler after the autumn rain fell.

This makes these people who are building the road ahead often breathe a sigh of relief, feeling refreshed all over their bodies.

The autumn rain was falling, and the road construction work could not be carried out for the time being. The tired road construction team ushered in a rare leisure time.

Most of the members of the road construction team stayed in the temporary semi-cave dwelling round houses used as work sheds, taking advantage of this rare opportunity to catch up on sleep and give their tired bodies a good rest.

But there is never a shortage of energetic people in this world, as is the case with Bigfoot and the other two.

When the rest of the people were resting, they wore coir raincoats and bamboo hats and went out of the temporary work shed together.

Autumn is here, and many fruits are already ripe. Some fruits are sweet and sour, and they are very delicious. Dazuo and the others want to find some fruits to eat during their trip.

People are omnivores, if they only eat one kind of food, they will get tired after a long time, and they want to find some other foods for a change.

One of the people who went out with Bigfoot was a slave of the Bannong tribe, and the other was a citizen of the Qingque tribe.

Unlike the general tense confrontation between slave owners and the slave class, under Han Cheng's conscious adjustment, this confrontation between the Qingque tribe is not obvious.

On the contrary, the relationship between the two classes is quite harmonious.

This can be seen from the fact that one citizen, two slaves, and three people went to find the fruit together.

However, the luck of these three people is not very good today, because there are not many fruit trees growing around this temporary residence.

They searched for a long time, but they didn't find a few, and a small bag couldn't be filled.

Under such circumstances, the Bigfoot trio began to move away from their residences...

go back!

After walking forward and searching for a while, there was still not much to gain. The citizen of the Qingque tribe looked back, and there was no sign of the temporary residence among the layers.

This person recalled the distance he and others had traveled, and then looked at the surrounding environment, and suddenly a burst of fear arose.

Immediately, he called out to the two of them to go back with him, and don't look for any more fruit.

As soon as he said the words, the big foot walking on the left front shouted in surprise.

Fruit! Fruit! There are so many!

Holding a not-so-thick tree with one hand, he pointed at the sunken place in front of him with the other. He turned his head and shouted at the citizen and another slave of the Qingque Tribe, full of surprise.

The two people who had already wanted to go back, after hearing Bigfoot's call, temporarily gave up the idea of ​​going back.

After all, they came out this trip, but they didn't gain anything, which made people feel a little unhappy.

At this time, when I heard so many fruits appeared in front of me, I naturally wanted to go and have a look.

The two came to Dazuo's side one after another, and stretched their heads to look forward.

Here is a relatively steep slope, surrounded by fallen leaves and vegetation, with many dark brown round fruits falling down.

He is not small, bigger than the fist of a four-year-old child.

Moreover, many of the fruits that fell on the ground have been cracked, and the exposed nuts are very similar to chestnuts that have taken off their thorny shells.

Seeing this scene, the two people who rushed over became excited all of a sudden!

The fruit in this kind of fruit looks like a chestnut, so the taste should be similar.

Chestnuts, acorns, and hickory nuts are the foods that people in this era like to collect and store most in autumn.

Because these foods are very shelf-stable, not only delicious, but also very hungry.

At this time, seeing so many chestnut-like fruits at once, it would be strange if they were not excited!

Immediately, the three of them pulled the tree down the not-too-steep slope, happily picking up the fruit in their carry-on bags.

It didn't take too long to fill up the three bags I was carrying.

Without the bag to hold things, the three of them could only stand here and look at the many fruits with regret.

After resting like this for a while, Bigfoot found a rock, picked up a fruit from the ground, and smashed it open.

After breaking open, it will be delivered to the mouth.

Don't eat!

The citizen of the Qingque tribe opened his mouth and stopped him.

On the one hand, when collecting food in the tribe, most of them follow the principle of handing in the food and then redistributing it. Eating food privately on the way to obtain food is generally not allowed.

On the other hand, the fruit they discovered today was something they had never seen before. Although it was very similar to a chestnut, it was not a real chestnut.

In the face of this kind of food that has not been eaten, it is best not to eat it lightly.

This is the understanding gained by the people in the tribe who paid the price of their lives before, and it has become stronger after being strengthened by Han Cheng.

I used to eat chestnuts and big feet before, and put them in the fire to burn the noodles, which made it more delicious to eat.

He felt that this kind of fruit, which looked very similar to a chestnut, would not be dangerous after eating it.

But after hearing the stop, I thought about it and still didn't eat it.

A few people stayed here for a while, carrying these fruits, excitedly went up this not too steep slope, and then headed all the way towards the temporary living area...

so much?!

Just like Bigfoot and the others thought, when the three of them returned to the temporary living area with so many fruits, the three bags full of fruits immediately attracted the attention of many people.

Even a lot of those who were sleeping didn't sleep anymore, and asked Bigfoot where they picked up so many fruits, and if there were still many, they planned to go there to pick up too.

When everyone was extremely excited, the citizen of the Qingque tribe who followed said that he had never eaten this kind of fruit.

The person who led the road construction team to build the road here was Gu, the original leader of the Green Tribe. After hearing about this incident, he took a closer look at the many fruits and found that the fruits looked more like chestnuts. Like, but definitely not chestnut.

Of course, this new food cannot be eaten directly on a large scale, and it needs someone to try it.

As soon as he expressed his intention, Bigfoot jumped out, patting his chest to express his willingness to try it.

On the one hand, this is because he stubbornly believes that this kind of fruit, which looks very similar to chestnuts, must be as delicious as chestnuts. Even if it is not as delicious as chestnuts, it will not be poisonous.

On the other hand, Bigfoot wants to contribute to the tribe as soon as possible, and then become a citizen of the tribe.

Not long after he joined the tribe, he was deeply impressed by the ceremony hosted by the Son of God, where the slave status was lifted and the citizenship card was awarded.

And the longer he lived in the tribe, the more he recognized the Qingque tribe, and the more he wanted to join the Qingque tribe, become a citizen of the tribe, and bring his ID card with him personally!

There is such a fearless person who is willing to try it, and of course Gu agreed, but before Dazuo tried it, under the reminder of the old man of the Qingque tribe, someone prepared something delicious outside...
