Chapter 268: Preparing to Set Sail

In the good expectation of the leader of the Green Tribe, the first batch of millet planted by the Green Sparrow tribe has sprouted, and the second batch of millet has also been planted today.

The small millet seedlings are tender and green, and they are very similar to several types of grasses such as dog's tail grass that were common in later generations.

But when they are grown, they will be able to tell the difference.

Millet can produce food that fills people's stomachs, and the weeds that were not much worse than millet were only a few grass seeds that were not taken seriously.

It's also more than half a year, and the gap between what has been harvested is really big.

The people of the Donkey tribe came again, and this was the third time since the beginning of spring, two more than the rest of the tribes.

And unlike several other tribes, which basically only need salt, and rarely bring food, furs, and other things in exchange for pottery.

Every time the donkey tribe came, they would bring a lot of fur and a lot of food.

The furs and food would be exchanged for pottery and brought back.

Han Cheng calculated, up to now, the people of the Donkey Tribe, the pottery exchanged from the Qingque Tribe, was already the most among the surrounding tribes.

There are more than the bone tribe that can be compared to the Qingque tribe in numbers, and the richest sheep tribe.

Could it be that I was blinded in the first place? Not only are the donkey tribes not the poorest, but they are also the richest of the surrounding tribes?

Is it a big dog who hides deeply?

Looking at the figure of the donkey tribe who left a bunch of things and walked out of the gate to the east with a lot of pottery in exchange, Han Cheng thought in puzzlement.

Today, the people of the Qingque tribe did not go to the fields to be busy, but went to Yanshan with some tools and weapons.

Salt was provided to several tribes for free, so that the salt saved by their tribes was consumed quickly.

Especially the people of the donkey tribe, every time they come and go back, they will bring a lot of salt, and this time they even brought three jars directly, so Han Cheng strongly doubted whether these guys were eating salt as food.

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

"Boom la la ......"

For boiling salt, the people of the Qingque tribe have already done it very well, and after coming to the salt mountain, some people knock on the salt ore, some people are responsible for filtering, and some people are boiling it with fire.

Now the people of the Qingque tribe no longer carry the salt ore back to boil as before, which is too much trouble.

Instead, he came directly to Yanshan with tools and cooked here.

It is much easier to bring back the finished salt than to bring the salt ore back.

The place where the salt is actually boiled is not actually in the salt mountain, but next to the spring not far from the salt mountain.

It was the place where Han Cheng and Tietou and others poured water and salt into the clay pot in order to abduct Uncle Deer before.

The spring was not originally very vigorous, and it was not enough to boil salt.

However, such a thing is obviously difficult for Han Cheng.

When he took his brothers and sisters to dig half a meter deep into the spring, and dug a reservoir more than half a meter deep and five square meters in size not far away, there was no shortage of water to boil salt.

Near the spring, a clearing was opened, and three fires were burned on the clearing, and on top of each fire was a large vat for boiling salt.

As the water evaporates, the salt that melts in the water condenses at the bottom of the tank......

Water is the source of all things, and in the mountains and forests, where there is water, there are more birds, birds, and beasts, and there are many footprints left on the wetlands at the edge of the reservoirs and springs.

However, the birds and wild beasts that came to drink water today were destined to return disappointed, because this water source was occupied by a group of domineering monkeys.

Not only do these monkeys walk on only two legs, but they can also make all kinds of strange things, especially the red, jumping ones, which are the most frightening of the animals......

The efficiency of boiling salt directly in the salt mountain is very high, and in five days, the Qingque tribe not only made up for the shortfall, but also had eight more jars of salt than before.

This salt is enough to be used for a short period of time.

When Han Cheng and the others leave, the people who stay in the tribe will not have to worry about the matter of salt.

The weather was getting warmer day by day, and by the time the last batch of millet was planted, the rape had grown completely, almost half a meter high.

Some of the impatient ones have already bloomed a little bit golden.

There are many things in the world, which should happen, and blindly avoiding it is not a very clever way, except for the panic that will make your heart flustered, the rest of the gains are generally not too big.

Han Cheng, who had no other reason, was finally about to embark on his first real journey since coming to this world.

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

This is not the sound of the bang when someone comes to the tribe, but the lame one who is making the last spare oar with a stone knife, a stone chisel, and a wooden stick.

The construction of oars is a must, otherwise how can we move forward? You can't rely on the waves, right?

Although Han Cheng is a little sullen sometimes, his level of skill, if he wants to wave the boat, it is still far from enough, so he has to honestly build the oars.

A total of four canoes of the Blue Sparrow tribe have been launched and are now parked in a place with ample temporary piers next to the creek in front of the tribe.

The ropes are tied to large wooden pegs nailed to the shore, and several canoes are huddled together, floating up and down in a small area with the waves of the water, which is very rhythmic.

Senior Brother, Yin, and Senior Brother Sha held oars with leather ropes under their arms, pulled the cable, pulled the canoe to the shore, and came to the boat in the back and forth of the boat.

After more than ten consecutive days of practice and familiarization, now in the face of this level of shaking and floating, Senior Brother and the others have been able to face it calmly, and they will no longer tremble to the unconscious legs they had before.

There is no such worry that after I come up, the boat will be crushed and sunk to the bottom.

On each side of the bow of the canoe is a stick about 20 centimeters higher than the hull of the canoe, and on the side of each of the four sticks, there is a branch.

After the elder brother got on the wooden boat, he skillfully hung the oars he was holding in his arms on the wooden branches.

Then he began to receive some bottles and cans handed over from the shore.

These are all things they have prepared in advance for this long journey.

Among them, the most prepared food is food, in addition to the jars placed at the beginning, there are also a lot of salted fish and salted meat that have been marinated and dried.

Among them, there are clay pots for cooking rice and boiling water, and bowls for rice.

Weapons such as bows and arrows, rattan shields, slings, spears, and throwing spears will naturally not fall.

These things were carried separately, and there were some on the four canoes, so as to avoid that if something happened to one of the boats, they would not lose all their supplies, get into trouble, or even be wiped out.
