Chapter 344 The Green Sparrow Tribe Beyond the Prosperous Age
There are twelve new houses built by the Qingque tribe this year, and they have not been completed at once.
There are six rooms left.
Han Cheng did not let the pankang in these six houses, and now four of them are used as granaries, and there are many large and small tanks in them, which are filled with grain.
It seems that we have to find time to make the worms, otherwise when the scale of production is expanded next year, the storage of grain will become a headache.
Han Cheng thought as he looked at the grain that was in the jar and spread on the ground.
The so-called sherbet is a long strip of stuff woven from the hard skin on the outside of the sorghum stalk.
It is about thirty centimeters wide and does not require much in length.
This kind of thing is specially used to circle grain.
When not in use, roll it up and tie it with a rope and put it in the corner so that it won't take up space. (The sorghum stalk rind is more flexible and can be circled)
When using, first pad the ground to avoid moisture, and then find this worm to untie the rope, spiral up in a circle, circle out a circle, which is used to store grain.
As long as there are enough moles, it is not a problem to circle a cylinder with a diameter of two or three meters or two or three meters high.
This is actually a more primitive grain circle.
It's just that with the progress of the times, the development of science and technology, glue, alloy products are becoming more and more common, this kind of local materials hand-woven grain ring has gradually been eliminated.
It is replaced by a better and more convenient glue or alloy grain ring.
Such a circle of grain things, one can fit several cylinders, undoubtedly more space-saving.
The glue and alloy grain circle Han Cheng does not have extravagant hopes, and the sorghum skin is very good.
It seems that this is also a luxury......
Han Cheng snorted helplessly, after all, he hadn't found the sorghum until now.
However, you can find substitutes, and millet stalks can be made like some slender and tough grasses, but they are not as easy to use as the sorghum stalk skin.
Han Sung now deeply feels the importance of carpenters and weavers.
Wait, you have to choose a few more talented people in the tribe to come out and learn some crafts with a limp.
These things, which were made with great difficulty on the basis of Han Cheng's memory, cannot be broken.
In this way, the lame can also be lighter, so that a lot of work will have to be pressed on him.
In the future, he can become a master master and make more 'cutting-edge' things.
Now the lame is already very cutting-edge.
There are six vacant houses, one of the remaining two is used for miscellaneous items, and the other is considered a 'carpenter's room'.
Now the lame is staying in this room, sitting on a small tree stump, with an axe in one hand and a chisel in the other, seriously opening a plank.
Not far from him, there was something with a more complex structure.
This thing is the cocoon car that Han Cheng used charcoal to draw out the general structure and constantly explained to the lame, and then the lame acted as the main force, and it took more than a month of crawling and rolling to create the cocoon car.
A tall bucket for seeds, three slightly angled, curved hollow wooden legs, two wheel-like sticks extending forward, and a wide strip of leather tied to the tail to connect the two wheels.
At the back is a handle that rises above the wooden bucket, which is used to support the cocoon to master the cocoon cart.
This is the general structure of the car.
The plank that the cripple is working on now is loaded under the wooden bucket.
The hole in the bucket is not very suitable for controlling the number of seeds flowing.
After many experiments and revisions failed, Lame decided to make a new piece.
The lame axe is used well, and the surface of the plank is cut smooth.
However, there is no flattening made by a planer.
When the time is enough to get the iron, he will make another planer, so that the lame can have a neater set of tools.
It's not that Han Cheng is eccentric, the iron that he finally got out, just tilting it here to lame, it is really that carpentry is too important for the Qingque tribe.
After listening to Han Cheng's planing, he walked with a limp.
He thought that it would be good to cut with an axe and saw with a chainsaw, but he didn't expect that Miko would know such a more labor-saving tool.
I'm working harder now.
After three days, the sky finally cleared, and when the ground was a little dryer, the grain that the Blue Sparrow tribe had collected into the house was forced to get it out of the house.
These grains have not been dried, and they are covered with some heat, and if they are in the shade for a few days, they will become moldy.
The stomped millet pole was also picked up and spread out on the scene, ready to be beaten a second time.
Looking at the grain drying in the yard, Wu and other people from the Qingque tribe smiled from ear to ear, and from time to time they would grab a handful with their hands and put it in front of their eyes to watch carefully.
This is the first time they have seen so much grain!
Han Cheng was not happy with them, not because he didn't like the joy of harvesting, but because the yield of millet was a little low.
When he started harvesting, he deliberately chose a place with relatively strong growth, measured an acre with a ruler, and let people store it separately and beat it out separately.
The income from one mu of land is only less than 100 catties, and this kind of output is too small for Han Cheng, who has seen that the yield per mu can easily exceed 500 catties.
According to one hundred catties of one acre of land, the grain that can be harvested from thirty acres of land of the Qingque tribe is only three thousand catties.
In later generations, a small household without a few acres of land at home can easily surpass.
According to a person's calculation of one pound of millet a day, the Qingque tribe will consume more than one mu of harvest in a day.
Even if there are too many babies in the tribe, one person can't eat one pound of grain, which is converted into a hundred pounds a day, and the grain of these thirty acres of land can only be eaten by everyone for thirty days.
And that's not even counting the seed.
After working for half a year, the harvest was less than a month's worth of grain, but the harvest was not large.
Han Cheng thought so, and then shook his head and chuckled, this is just the beginning, after the millet is planted on a large scale next year, the total yield of millet will be able to rise.
If the yield per mu is low, there are many points, anyway, the most important thing now is land.
Even if it is widely planted and harvested, the total yield can still be increased.
Moreover, the people of the Qingque tribe do not eat all the grain, there are other foods to eat, and there is no problem without worrying about food and clothing when the time comes.
To be honest, the current living standard of the Qingque tribe is not comparable with that of later generations, but it seems to have surpassed the prosperity of the feudal dynasty.
The so-called prosperous era is that the people at the bottom drink thin when they are free, they are busy eating dry, they have a salt vegetable to eat, and they have a little surplus food at home for a year, and they are mixed with clothes, so that they will not be overdressed...... This is the prosperous age.
