The plantation was not named after the tribe of Kurutantan, but simply called the Bushman Large Plantation.

The Bushmans are the San people, this is their official name, and the meaning of this name is that Kurutantan and the chiefs hope that this plantation will become a milestone in the development of their people, so that a steady stream of plantations can appear in the future to accommodate other wandering San tribes.

However, it is not easy for them to complete the settlement here, the San people are used to wandering around, accustomed to being a quilt and a bed, and the wandering life is very hard, but the real suffering has been integrated into their blood, and they may not be able to get used to the days of settling in one place.

In particular, they used to wander mainly in deserts and desert areas, where there was little rain all year round, and they could live in the wild.

When they come here, they have to change their living conditions, at least they have to live in tents, and then they all have to move into the house slowly, otherwise the continuous rainy season will be fatal.

Kurutantan plans to deal with tourists, and the most common thing in their tribe is the animal skin paintings, which are the treasures of the San tribe.

Animal skin painting developed from frescoes, and the San people did not have writing, so they could only rely on painting to describe the development of the tribe.

At first, these paintings were painted on stone walls, depicting the origin and migration path of the tribe, as well as the resources found after migrating to this place, which inspired the Sang tribe to come later.

But slowly the San tribes became fewer and fewer, and the Zulus, Xhosa and even the Boers arrived, and they grew in number.

The San people did not want to reveal their information to these people, so they changed the medium of painting, no longer painting murals, but painting on dried and nitrated animal skins, so there are today's animal skin paintings.

These animal skin paintings can be sold, and there are many bird and animal products in the tribe, such as bone carvings, such as bird feather crowns, small drums made of animal skins, etc., which are displayed by Kurutantan, and Zhang Jinjie said that these things are very valuable to tourists.

Yang Shubao was very interested when he saw the animal skin drum, which was similar in size to the Liuyang waist drum in China, and the sound was dull when beaten, rich in the vicissitudes of the ancient tribes of the grassland.

Seeing that he was interested, Kurutan generously picked it up and handed it to him: "Mr. Yang, you have helped our tribe with a lot of things, we can't repay it, if you like this drum, then give it to you." ”

Yang Shubao smiled and waved his hand: "Thank you, I received the heart, but I can't ask for this." I'm just interested in how it works, because I have a bison skin like this, and it's made of bison skin, isn't it?"

"Yes, it's made of bison leather offcuts. Kurutantan said.

Yang Shubao had a whole bison skin, as well as a lion's head and a lion's claws, of which the bison skin he picked up in the wetlands had been nitrated by the Timit people, and the lion's head and lion's claws were picked up when the Timit people were sent home, which were useless, and he brought them back and made them embalmed and dried, and then stored them.

After seeing the San people's drums made of bison skin, he became interested, and maybe he could also make a drum out of cow hide.

When he returned to the reserve, he had nothing to do, and when he was bored, he called Nicole to figure out how to make a leather drum together.

South Africans are no strangers to cowhide drums, like Old Knights and Barnes, who told Yang Shubao that making this kind of drum is very simple, as long as there is a suitable drum stand and cowhide.

Yang Shubao's bison skin is very well made, and the Timit people are good at it, and the cowhide is plucked and dried and stored in the cool shade, and it can be used at any time.

Of course, now you need to soak it in water, soak it until it is soft, and fix it on the drum rack, and after a while, the drum will be ready.

But this requires a drum frame, that is, a drum body, a drum circle.

The drum frame has to be made of high-quality wood chips, and Yang Shubao can't do it originally, but now he is playing Thief 6 with short videos, and there are many drum making tutorials on short videos, so he doesn't even need to go to the old chivalrous and others for guidance, he can do it himself.

In China, poplar and birch are used to make drum racks, and Yang Shubao can't find these timbers in South Africa, so he uses eucalyptus trees.

There are many eucalyptus trees in the Great St. Lucia Wetland Park, these eucalyptus trees belong to the myrtle family, most of the wood is heavy and hard, strong resistance to corrosion, and has a wide range of uses, which can be used for construction, sleepers, mining pillars, piles, furniture, agricultural tools, etc., and it is naturally no problem to make drum racks.

He took someone to drive to cut down the trees again, and this time he didn't go deep into the forest area to find the ownerless eucalyptus forest, but went directly around the edge of the area, looking for which eucalyptus tree to cut directly.

The Green Wetland Company has troubled him several times, so he is not welcome.

He sat in the front of the car and waited for the rangers to come out, but a tree was cut down and no one came.

It was too boring for no one to come looking for trouble, so Yang Shubao asked Terry and Malone to continue working here, dividing the trunk into four sections and bringing it back.

The eucalyptus tree grows tall and straight, and it is indeed a good wood.

They finished their work, and still no one showed up.

During this period, there was a figure that swayed, but the figure shook and disappeared, I don't know if the ranger was scared away after recognizing Yang Shubao.

The trunk of the tree was cut into four sections, and there was no need for Yang Shubao to stay here, and after driving back, he began to cut the trunk into wood chips, and then pieced together and inlaid them into a drum frame.

Wood chips were first made into composite wood chips, which were stronger and more reliable, which was what Barnes taught him.

Composite wood chips are spliced, and a step-by-step drum frame is formed.

Barnes saw his collection of lion claws and lion heads, and suggested, "When you put the cowhide on it, you can install the lion's claws on the drum as drum claws, and this lion head, which can be inlaid on it, how majestic will the cowhide drum be when the time comes?"

Yang Shubao was moved by him, which is really a good idea.

But Simba was coming back from catching a mouse in the grass, and he dug up a rabbit's nest and caught a rabbit.

Simba knew that Yang Shubao didn't eat mice but ate rabbits, so he specially sent rabbits to him.

Looking at the rabbit thrown on the ground and the smug Simba, Yang Shubao sighed and said, "Forget it, I'd better set a bull's head, Simba is too smart, if it sees a lion's head, it will definitely have an opinion on me." ”

For a cowhide drum to affect the relationship with Simba, Lao Yang felt that it was not worth it.

The cowhide drum is generally made, and a lot of processing is needed in the later stage, such as patterning the edges of the cowhide.

Yang Shubao spent a lot of time making cowhide drums, and he didn't go anywhere, or even to the town, during this period, so he didn't know who was in the town and what was going on.

Zhang Jinjie revealed a letter to him when he brought tourists: "A few strangers have come to the town in the past two days......"

"Isn't it normal for strangers to come? There are strangers in my reserve every day. Yang Shubao said casually.

Zhang Jinjie rolled his eyes: "Don't interrupt me, what I want to say is that these strangers are unusual, they have been inquiring about the poachers who overturned in the wilderness before, and also inquired about your reserve, Meissen and I both think they have a problem, so I came to remind you." ”
