Chapter 916: They're Eating Again......
While Han Cheng was smiling, the older female primitives completed the transaction again, exchanging all the remaining rice for the pottery and salt that Han Cheng and the others had brought with them.
Han Cheng looked at this large pile of rice that belonged to his tribe with a smile on his face, and the older female primitives were also full of smiles when they looked at the exquisite pottery and delicious table salt that they had exchanged, and then imagined that they would use these things to get more food from the rest of the tribes.
After this exchange, the people of both tribes were very happy.
After this exchange, Han Cheng and the pottery they brought with them were a lot less.
But it doesn't matter.
There are many people who can fire ordinary pottery in the Qingque tribe, and this time there are people who come with pottery workshops.
Wait until a kiln is built here, and the consumed pottery will be replenished immediately.
After such an exchange, the relationship between the two sides has become a lot more harmonious.
At least the people of the Qingque tribe will no longer think about arresting these people as slaves, and the older female primitives also understand that these strange-looking and rich people in front of them are not evil.
In such a situation, not only did they not snatch the things that belonged to their tribe, but they also did not kill themselves and others because they occupied their caves, but they also exchanged them for their own tribesmen, and also told themselves and others a way to get food quickly.
It's been a long time since these things were put in place.
The main reason is that there is a language barrier between the two, and it is very time-consuming to carry out fancy translations.
Originally, the plan of the older primitive woman was to prepare to come back, put the delicious small fruits she had collected here, and then go to the previous place to collect the small fruits.
But after this toss, time was not allowed, so she made the decision to take people to gather food in the vicinity.
As for the precious pottery and the delicious white stuff that the tribe called 'salt' in exchange for all the delicious little fruits, she was ready to let the tribe carry them with her at all times.
However, it is too inconvenient to do so, and it is easy to get damaged during the process of collecting food.
After some hesitation, she made the decision to put these extremely delicious things that had just been exchanged in the strange cave where they had lived for a while, and now belonged to the strange tribe in front of them.
Many people in their tribe expressed their worries about the decision of the older female primitives, fearing that the precious pottery and salt they had exchanged for a lot of things would be returned by that tribe.
After all, these two things are so precious.
But the older female primitives did it anyway.
In addition to the inconvenience of carrying it around, another reason is that she thinks that people in this tribe will not do such things, because they already have a lot of such things.
What seems extremely precious to their own tribe may not seem very precious to their tribe.
What's more important is that if these people really have such a meaning, they can directly deprive themselves and others of everything they have before, and they don't have to have such trouble at all.
I have to say that the older female primitives are still very insightful.
At the same time, this once again proves the correctness of the phrase 'people are old and fine, and horses are old and slippery'.
What these people don't know is that it is precisely because of their actions that the people of the Qingque tribe have a lot of good feelings towards them, and at the same time, they also have a lot of high opinion of them.
That's the power of trust.
And it was precisely because they did not take people to collect the fruits, but stayed nearby, that they were able to further understand the wealth of this strange tribe called the 'Blue Sparrow'.
Not to mention the rest, but the sheep, deer and other prey that were driven out from a distance shocked them again.
They had never seen any tribe that could possess so much prey at once, and even the oldest female primitives among them had never heard of, let alone seen.
Han Cheng and the others ignored the exclamations of the older female primitives, but used bronze axes to cut down some branches and other things around, and then chose a place near the slave hut that was not in the way, and set up a fence to raise the sheep, donkeys, and deer they brought with them.
Not only can these animals be kept in captivity, but they are also used to defend themselves against the attacks of some wild beasts that may exist.
While doing this, some smaller fences were also erected for the chickens brought in captivity, and the pairs of rabbits, which had lost weight for two full laps along the way, were temporarily placed in two large pottery.
These guys' ability to dig holes is too strong, and they need to be treated with caution.
After waiting for two days, I need to find some stones to use as a base.
While doing this, Han Cheng asked people to set up some tents that were brought with him outside.
This is because there are a lot of people coming this time, and the slave huts that have been built before are not very inhabitable.
Of course, in fact, they could also choose to build a few domed, semi-cave houses to live in, but this matter was temporarily suppressed by Han Cheng.
He wanted to wait until the older female primitives were gone, and then let the tribe start building.
In this way, it can prevent the leakage of some things that Han Cheng thinks are more necessary to keep secrets as much as possible.
As for the captive animals, they saw them.
Really learning and farming is not necessarily a bad thing for your own tribe.
They have more things in their hands, and their own tribe can get more things from them through trade.
In the midst of the hustle and bustle, it was already evening.
After this busy half a day, the people of the Qingque tribe who came again can be regarded as having initially placed some necessary things, and they have simply settled down, and they will be able to officially put into the construction of Jinguan City tomorrow.
In the open space outside Jinguan Castle, several piles of flames were burned, which were improvised stoves temporarily supported by stones.
After the yellow millet is washed, water is added to it and boiled, and in addition to the millet, dried fish that have been stored on the way to it are also added.
The dried fish were cut into small pieces by several 'cooks' of the Qingque tribe with sharp copper knives.
When it is about to boil and almost come out of the pot, put some chopped wild vegetables and some salt in it, and stir it back and forth, not to mention the taste.
While several 'chefs' of the Qingque tribe were busy here, the older female primitives were also cooking not far away.
Compared to the food of the Blue Sparrow tribe, their food is much simpler.
In the past, they used to boil some rice from time to time to eat, but this afternoon's exchange made all their rice become the Qingque tribe's, so on the clay pot, there was only water to boil wild vegetables, and then gnaw some of the collected wild fruits.
However, because they only exchanged for several gourds of salt today, they also put some salt in their boiled wild vegetables for seasoning.
In the past, such food was already supreme and delicious for them.
In fact, as long as there is salt, even if there is not even a single bit of wild vegetables in the water, it is extremely rare and delicious for them.
But now, everything is different.
After one of them ate a delicious food given by the people of the Qingque tribe with a good bottom of a gourd, they ate their own food with a clear soup and little water, and suddenly felt that there was no taste.
Looking at the people of the Qingque tribe, eating bowl after bowl of delicious food, and then looking at the water and wild vegetables in the gourd used by themselves and others as bowls, these people felt tasteless.
It's that there is no harm without contrast.
Even the older female primitives were thinking about how good it would be if they could be like these people in the Blue Sparrow tribe, eating this kind of food at every meal, and being able to eat with their bellies open.
With such a strong envy, the eyes of the older female primitive fell on the exquisite pottery placed beside her, and the gourd filled with salt, and her heart became firm.
As long as you take people with you, run to some tribes, and use these things to exchange for food from the rest of the tribes, then your own tribe will be able to live like this and eat this kind of food.
Thinking of this, the hearts of the older female primitives became hot......
The next morning, after another deep envy, the primitive women who had eaten breakfast left the place with the people of their tribe, and headed for the large area of small fruits that had not yet been collected by them.
She was going to take people to collect all the small fruits there, and use them to exchange them for a lot of pottery and salt from the good tribes, and then use them to exchange them for more food from the rest of the tribes!
After the older female primitives left, Han Cheng and the others were also busy.
Donkeys and sheep were grazing around, and the minors were carrying fish cages into the water.
Han Cheng made a special explanation about the matter of getting out of the fish cage, that is, he couldn't let the older female primitives see it, and he didn't let them know the real use of the fish cage.
After all, the fish cage is indeed a sharp weapon for fishing in this era, and it is the kind that can be effective in the short term, so it is better to control it.
As for the fish cages that were placed in the room before and were taken away by the older female primitives, Han Cheng was also very generous and did not want to come back.
It's just that when I watch them wear it on their heads as a hat, I can't help but want to laugh.
If the older female primitive people can be passed on for a long time, in the future, this may become a cultural symbol and be completely integrated into their lives......
In addition to these, the rest of the people began to prepare for the construction of Jinguan City.
In the beginning, Han Cheng's idea was to build the house first, and then build the wall, so that it would be convenient to collect soil and transport the rest of the materials.
But after learning that there was a tribe in the area that also possessed bronze, the idea changed radically.
The fence must be built first.
As for the trouble when building a house in the future, it can only be troublesome.
It's better to have trouble than not to feel safe.
Moreover, the construction of the fence has also been adjusted, and it has become a small one and an inner courtyard first.
Then the inner courtyard will be used as a base to carry out the construction of a larger outer courtyard.
After this idea was settled, Han Cheng and some people who came here pulled the tape measure to measure, and on the basis of the traces they left last time, they determined the location and measured the size of the inner courtyard, and then everyone began to dig the foundation non-stop.
While these men were digging the foundations of the wall, some of them also cut down trees from the surrounding area and pulled them over, which were then made into wooden rafts by the carpenters who came to the carpenter's room in preparation for the rammed earth that would soon follow.
Jinguan City, which seemed deserted before, immediately became lively, a prosperous scene.
By noon, when the older primitive women returned with the people and the fruits they had gathered, the place had changed dramatically.
The ground that appeared to be flat was dug out of the ditches, and the wet soil, along with some grass roots or tree roots, was turned over to the edge of the ditches.
The older female primitives, one by one, opened their mouths wide and looked dumbfounded.
It's not just because of the big change, it's more importantly, because these people are eating food again!
Didn't you already eat it in the morning?
Shouldn't eating food again wait until it's getting dark?
Why did they start eating now?
Moreover, their food still smells so good and looks so good......
This is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that watching them eat food here, the stomachs of themselves and others have become so hungry!
Especially after one person ate the food that the kind tribe generously gave them, the stomachs of himself and others became even hungrier.
After getting some water from the bottom of the gourd and drinking it, the older female primitives left here in a hurry with their tribesmen and tools.
This is not because she wants to take people to collect more delicious small fruits quickly, but because she is worried that if she continues to stay, she will not be able to help but let people boil food to eat when it is far from time to eat it.
After leaving in a hurry all the way, and after not being able to see the Qingque tribe, the older primitive women dared to slow down.
She reached out and touched her gurgling belly, and couldn't help but sigh.
Because she found it difficult to eat food like the people of the Blue Sparrow tribe......
