Look at the schools of fish bouncing around the ground.

Wu and the others showed surprised expressions, and after a moment of silence, a burst of cheers erupted.

Wang Tian picked up a wooden thorn for fishing, stood guard at the door of the fence, and knocked the fish to death.

When everyone saw it, they all did the same, and on the dry river, they remembered a crackling sound and laughter.

The children successively piled up the fish that were knocked out and shot to death, and Wang Tian roughly counted them, and there were more than 100 fish of more than one catty caught on this water surface of less than 50 square meters. It weighed more than three hundred pounds.

For those fish that were less than three fingers wide, Wang Tian told people not to kill them.

Wu Zheng, who was not far away, happily arranged for someone to send the fish piled up together into the cave. Wang Tian stepped forward, picked up a rattan, passed the fish through the gill team, pierced it out of its mouth, and strung it one after another. The crowd cheered and carried the fish to the cave.

Wang Tian arranged for the children to pick some large leaves, wrap up the remaining small fish, and throw them all into the puddle the size of half a basketball court at the source of the stream. I plan to order a few fence posts next to the outlet tomorrow to block the outlet of the pond for fish farming.

In the past, it was difficult to fish, but now you can eat meat after you can raise it. Fishing is just fishing.

Before leaving, Wang Tian moved the previously blocked stones, restored the flow of water, and then used the mud heaped in the ditch dug today to block the entrance again, the fish have the habit of going upstream, this place will live for a few days, and you can do today's operation again.

Wang Tian followed everyone back to the cave // door, came to the edge of the cliff of the observation deck, and sat down cross-legged. Ignoring the adoring gaze of everyone behind him, he looked at the stream less than two kilometers in front of him and fell into deep thought.

Feeling that the original ecology is good, a short stream, there are such rich fish resources, not far from the river, isn't there more? The fish and meat alone were enough to support the tribe's food supply for a year or two, and the food problem was solved, and the labor force used to build the wall was available.

Food is available, but how to preserve it is another problem. In this world, don't expect refrigerators and freezers or anything.

Storing enough food and having it at your fingertips is more convincing than pointing to a stream and telling the tribe that there are fish in it.

Finding the salt to marinate and preserve the meat had to be on the agenda, autumn had arrived, and the time to make food that could be preserved for a long time was running out, and Wang Tian didn't want to rely on wild fruits for the whole winter. Although Wang Tian does not reject food without salt, it is essential to get enough salt from the idea of making food more palatable.

Hunting is also needed to find salt dignitaries, build walls to dignitaries, and get the furs you need to keep you warm for the winter. Picking wild fruits also requires people, and it is not enough to eat wild fruits, but it is also not enough to eat meat alone.

You need people everywhere! It is necessary to conduct a census and to make overall planning so that it can be rationally arranged.

When Wang Tian was thinking about this, the sun had sunset, the birds returned to the forest, the people returned home, and the beasts returned to their nests to find their mothers.

The women who picked the wild fruits used various methods to get them back. There was not a single basket, and all kinds of leaves and animal skins were wrapped in wild fruits, and they could not get much back if they were picked, so the women came back after eating enough wild fruits outside, and when they told Wu that they were full and did not need to prepare any more food for the night, they saw the cave full of large and small fish. Surprised expressions hung on their faces.

Wu said something to everyone, and after everyone cheered, he picked up the stone knife and began to kill the fish and cut the abdomen. The elders who stared at the fish drooling in their hands one by one. Wang Tian guessed that Wu should have said that the grilled fish would be served openly tonight. Sure enough, in this day and age, physical objects are the first and foremost things. When people saw Wang Tian's eyes, they were full of admiration and adoration. He looked back at everyone with a smile and picked up a fish to show everyone how to shave the scales and remove the gills.

By this time, the men who had gone out hunting had already appeared at the intersection on the left, and the children jumped up to greet them, and the women stood up with fish in their hands to welcome the warriors of the tribe.

The hunting team had a lot of luck today, the prey was two sika deer, a wild boar of three or four hundred catties, small prey such as rabbits, pheasants, and some animals that Wang Tian did not know were tied with rattan and tied around his waist and brought back.

Wu pulled the leader and was talking happily, and the leader looked at Wang Tian who was standing on the side smiling with a surprised look on his face from time to time.

Wang Tian stepped forward, patted the shoulders of the leader and the members of the hunting team heavily, and then gave a thumbs up one by one, and everyone smiled and showed a sincere smile.

The happiest thing tonight is a group of children, with fish, meat and fruit, one jumping and waiting to eat.

Wu had the people take off a pair of tusks of the wild boar, and led Wang Tian and the leader to the altar, where they offered the boar's teeth and the largest fish to the altar, and thanked the gods for giving food to the tribe.

After the sacrifice is completed, the bonfire banquet begins, Wang Tian takes the skewered fish and roasts it on the fire, deducts a knife from the Swiss Army knife, cuts out a cut on the fish, and picks up a wild fruit with a lot of juice, uses the knife to remove the core and holds the flesh in the palm of his hand, gently grasps it, the juice flows out and spreads evenly on the fish, and then puts it into the fire to continue roasting, and so on and so forth.

After grilling, I tasted it, and the fish aroma was mixed with a sweet and sour fruity aroma, and the taste was also unique.

The totem of the tribe is a snake, Wang Tian has no good impression of the snake, and after holding a burning stick and dancing on the ground, a cursive dragon character is vivid. Pointing to this word, he said to Wu: "Dragon", and then pointed to the totem of the tribe, "We are the Dragon Tribe" and then handed the house a grilled fish dipped in juice, "Taste it", Wang Tian said with a smile on his face. Wu took a bite of the fish, with an intoxicated expression on his face, he pointed to the dragon character written by Wang Tian and gave a thumbs up.

The total population of the tribe is 138 people, including 39 adult young men, 45 adult women, three elderly including Wu, 23 male minors with a height of less than 1.5 meters, 19 female minors with a height of less than 1.4 meters, and nine infants and young children under the age of seven.

There were 78 adults who were able to work, excluding 6 pregnant adults. This is the main labor force of the dragon tribe.

Of the 39 adult males, six had to stay in the tribe to keep the cave safe.

In order to obtain the fur for the winter, Wang Tian planned to arrange 20 people to be led by the leader to continue the hunt.

This leaves only 13 adult males who can be called. There were 45 adult women, 39 in addition to the six pot-bellied women.

Leave six people to take care of the babies and young children, and work with the six warriors left behind to protect the tribe.

Among the remaining 33 people, Wang Tian plans to set aside 13 people for the construction of the wall, and the other 20 people will continue to pick wild fruits, picking as many as possible from the mouths of various small animals and birds.

Fruits and stems of various plants are easier to preserve than meat.
