Halfway through the afternoon, Su Yan and his party returned to the tribe.

After staying in the jungle for most of the day, Su Yan and his party did not encounter any danger, at most a few clansmen were bitten by non-poisonous or slightly poisonous insects.

There are harvests and regrets on this trip, the harvest is the ginseng in the rattan basket that has been used for decades and the precious medicinal materials such as ginseng and ganoderma lucidum that have been found in the jungle but have not been picked, and the ordinary herbs in the jungle are also considered to be harvested.

Some of these herbs can also be eaten as vegetables, and the dragon tribe can catch fish from the river because of its proximity, but there are no such things as wild vegetables and plant roots in the recipe.

Many of the plants growing in the jungle are poisonous, and a tribe may need to pay many people's lives if it wants to find non-toxic and edible wild vegetables and plant roots, which is the case with the deer tribe, but as long as you master a few kinds of wild vegetables and plant roots that can be eaten, you can effectively relieve the food pressure of the tribe.

Dragons don't have food pressure, so there's no need to venture out to find edible wild vegetables and food roots.

Now Su Yan can add some edible vegetables to the recipe of the Dragon Tribe, and adding some vegetables when boiling the broth can also increase the taste to a certain extent.

As for the regret of this trip, naturally he didn't find crops that could be used for large-scale cultivation, nor did he find metal veins, but Su Yan also knew that crops and metal veins were not so easy to find, after all, he had only reached a place about five hundred meters away from the Dragon Tribe's residence, and the jungle was very large, so he didn't find it today, and he would always find it in the future.

After returning to the tribe, Su Yan briefly disposed of the ginseng plant and was busy with something that happened to him while exploring the jungle.

Su Yan focused on the four projects of crops, metal smelting, herbs, and domesticating beasts, and looking for crops, metal veins, and herbs.

The first step in domesticating beasts is naturally to catch beasts, but the hunting team is good at hunting beasts, but it is very troublesome to catch beasts intact, in order to allow the hunting team to catch beasts, Su Yan definitely added a special weapon to the hunting team - nets.

Weave a large net with a straw rope and cover the beast with a large net to capture the beast intact, and only when the beast is captured and brought back to the tribe can the domestication of the beast begin.

Su Yan found six women who were pregnant and couldn't do heavy work, and found some straw ropes and a fish cage, and the seven of them came to a clearing.

"You all make fish cages?" Su Yan asked, pointing to the fish cage.

"Yes." Six jagged voices answered Su Yan's question.

Su Yan nodded, and then got busy.

In the first step, Su Yan used a thicker rope to enclose a three-meter-long square in the open space; In the second step, Su Yan uses a slightly thinner rope to weave several grids according to this square frame; In the third step, Su Yan handed over the task of weaving the grid to the six clansmen......

Well, Su Yan is the leader, so he won't bother to do these things, and leaving it to the clansmen to do is the right choice.

Su Yan pointed to the several grids he had woven and said to the six clansmen: "You can weave this net according to the size of this grid, can you do it?" ”

"Yes." Six more jagged answers.

"Alright, let's get started."

Hearing Su Yan's words, six adult female clansmen pulled the rope and began to get busy in this three-meter-long square, Su Yan looked at it for a while, and saw that they were doing a good job without making a mistake, so they left.

There is a big difference between the net used to catch the beast and the net on the cage used to catch the fish, after all, the body shape of the beast and the body shape of the fish are very different, and the strength of the two is also very different, so the grid of the net used to catch the fish can be smaller, and the rope of the woven net should be thinner.

If you use the net used to make the fish cage to expand to catch the beast, the most likely result is that the net is torn apart by the beast, so the net to catch the beast needs a thicker rope, and the size of the beast is so large, the grid of the net can also be larger, so that it saves a lot of effort when weaving the net.

Approaching evening, the hunting team came back, the luck of the hunting team today is not good, the prey is only a feline weighing about dozens of pounds, what is the specific name Su Yan does not know, in the previous life Su Yan was a traditional Chinese medicine not a veterinarian, and there are not many animal names that can be known.

At this time, the net was almost woven, and Su Yan led Zhi and Biao to this side.

Seeing this wide net on the ground, Zhi didn't understand what this net was for.

"It's a weapon, and you can use it to catch your prey when you're hunting." Looking at Zhi Hebiao's puzzled gaze, Su Yan explained.

This time, it was Biao who was the first to speak: "Wang, it's good to kill the prey directly when hunting, why catch it?" ”

Su Yan: "Think about it, the hunting team goes out to hunt every day, sometimes they hunt more prey, sometimes they hunt less prey, if it is not for the tribe to fish as food, the tribe is afraid that they will have to live a hungry and full life." ”

Biao's mind was a little worse, but he could understand Su Yan's words, and nodded in agreement with Su Yan's words.

"But it's different to bring back live prey, we can keep these beasts in the tribe, the beasts can give birth to small beasts, and the small beasts will continue to give birth to small beasts when they grow up, and there will be more and more beasts in the tribe, and they can be eaten by us as food at any time, and we don't need to bother to catch them." Su Yan said while drawing on the ground, one sheep became two sheep, two sheep became four sheep, and four sheep became eight sheep.

There was no need for Su Yan to continue painting, and the picture of eight sheep turning into sixteen sheep and more sheep appeared in Biao's mind.

Biao can understand what Su Yan means, and Zhi can also understand what Su Yan means.

"Wang, I understand, in the future we will catch the prey and raise it in the tribe, and then we will have endless meat." Biao danced happily, but with Biao's fierce body, it looked a little funny.

Su Yan: "Well, it's good to understand, tomorrow you go out hunting, try with this net, and catch the prey, but you can't catch all the prey, tigers, wolves, leopards, and other meat-eating beasts can't do it, you can only catch cows, sheep, pigs and other beasts that can eat grass." ”

Biao: "Wang, I know, the hunting team will definitely catch live prey as soon as possible." ”

The function of the net is very simple, directly to the prey can be covered, if there are more nets, the hunting team can hold a net to intercept the prey, which can improve the efficiency of daily hunting.

Su Yan said simply, both Zhi and Biao knew how to use the special weapon of the net.
