Chapter 21 The same rudimentary socks and salt
In the past, because the food was relatively abundant, in winter, the people in the tribe basically did not go out except for going out to solve physical problems and get some snow.
Therefore, even if there is frostbite, it is not very serious, unlike now, almost more than 70% of people have frostbite of varying degrees on their hands and feet.
Just when everyone was worried about this, Wu told everyone about the gloves, and he didn't take out the pair that Han Cheng made for him, so that some people in the cave could feel it for themselves.
After personally experiencing the benefits of this glove, everyone's eyes were shining, looking at Wu and Han Cheng as a god with a longing gaze, obviously wanting a pair of such good things to keep warm from the cold.
Wu had already discussed this matter with Han Cheng in advance, and it was naturally impossible for Han Cheng to personally make a pair of gloves for everyone in the tribe, as well as socks that were about to appear.
If he really did this, he would not do anything else, and he would be a glove producer with peace of mind.
The way to deal with it is to select a few people from the tribe who are relatively weak and not suitable to go out to participate in fishing activities, and follow Han Cheng to learn how to make gloves.
After this matter was decided, everyone in the tribe was smiling.
yes, what reason do they have to be upset?
They now have enough food to feed their stomachs, and they don't have to worry about hunger anymore.
And this food is still more delicious than wild fruits, and the fish that can satisfy hunger.
They also immediately had a pair of warm gloves and socks as Miko said to protect their hands and feet from the cold.
Such a happy day is what they have been looking forward to.
The next day, Han Chengcheng began to teach the six female primitives left in the cave to make animal skin gloves.
It seemed to him to be extremely simple, or what could be called a rudimentary glove, and it was not simple for those who were exposed to it for the first time.
In the process of learning how to make it, either the edge of the hide was broken, or the interval between the holes was too large, and even worse, the skin was directly smashed into small holes on all sides......
After the holes were smashed, they were sewn together with rope grass, and the progress was particularly difficult.
Fortunately, Han Cheng was not an anxious person, and patiently demonstrated again and again, and in this way, in the afternoon, including a wife of the elder brother with the worst hands-on ability, finally learned the skill of making gloves.
As for whether it looks good or not, it is something that is pursued after the technology matures.
After teaching these people how to make gloves, Han Sung began to make leather socks according to his wishes.
Nowadays, the shoes in the tribe are very simple, they are a rectangular base made of animal bones of the right thickness and size, and then some holes are drilled into it, and small animal skin strips or tough straw ropes are used to pass through the holes, and then tied to the feet.
This is very similar to the sandals of later generations, but it is too cool to wear in winter.
Of course, they will also wrap their feet in animal skins and then put on shoes, but these are too inconvenient, uncomfortable, and easy to drive, sometimes they can't walk a few steps, they need to take care of it again, which is extremely troublesome.
It is precisely because of this that some people who are frost-tolerant and troublesome, more often, choose to be barefoot.
Now there are no tools that can be used, and Han Cheng can only make a larger rectangular leather like he makes a glove, and then smash the hole and wear it with rope grass.
However, there is a slight difference compared to gloves, that is, the place where the rope grass is worn is not at the edge, but at the top of the foot.
In this way, it can be used to prevent water and moisture to a certain extent, and because the sewing area is on the top, the rope grass used as thread is not easy to wear and tear, and the life of the service can be extended.
This thing, if it is placed in the future generations, even if it is given away for free, no one may want it, but it is an extremely sought-after rare commodity here.
Even Senior Brother Sha, who was the most impatient to wear shoes, couldn't help but smile extremely happily after putting on these socks and putting on shoes and walking back and forth for a while, and the socks were not like the previous foot-wrapping skin.
After all, if there are suitable shoes and socks, few people want to be barefoot and cold.
The people of the tribe were not as idle as they used to be, when they would fall asleep after a short pause after dinner, but now they would sit around the fire for a while with gloves or socks before going to sleep.
Because of the socks and gloves, there are fewer people to go fishing, but because it is winter, the fish are rushing to breathe in the ice holes, which is much easier to catch than usual.
Even with a few fewer people, they catch enough fish every day to eat that day, and not only that, but there is also a lot of surplus.
After there were enough fish stored in the cave, the senior brother and the others had less time to go out to fish every day, and sometimes they didn't even go out to catch them.
Because the food is so abundant, in Han Cheng's mention, no one eats the greasy fish offal anymore, even the lame who cherishes the food the most will not eat it.
Now when grilling fish, it is all according to the method handed over by Han Cheng, first remove the scales and remove the internal organs and gills of the fish, and then start to grill it on the fire.
At first, some people felt that this was a waste, but after remembering that they already had enough fish, and that the fish grilled in this way was indeed better than before, they all complied with it, and it became a common practice.
Han Cheng looked at the grilled fish in front of him and couldn't swallow it, two meals of grilled fish a day for nearly a month made it a little difficult for him to swallow when he faced the grilled fish again.
Of course, there is another important reason that there is no salt!
There's nothing wrong with salt being the king of all flavors.
And salt is not only a condiment, but also an element that is extremely needed in the human body.
Han Cheng had asked, and neither the most intelligent witch in the tribe nor the well-informed senior brother knew what salt was.
It is true that they do not know, and if they did, they would not stop eating every day.
By now, the people of the tribe are becoming more and more depressed, and they seem to be lazy, sleeping more than they are active.
The people of the tribe, including the witches, felt that this was normal, because every year at this time, everyone would show such a state.
Wu said to Han Cheng that it would be good when the weather was warm.
Han Cheng knew that this was not a normal state, but because there was less salt!
In the past, the people of the tribe ate mainly animal meat, which contained salt.
And now, since the snow fell in winter, the people in the tribe have not eaten animal meat for a long time, and there is a serious lack of salt in the body, it would be strange if they were energetic!
I've got to find a way to get some salt to eat!
Han Cheng, who was lazily and couldn't lift his energy, ate the fish in his hand without a bite, and let out such a melancholy emotion.
