Chapter 20: New Things

From the afternoon to the evening, the people by the river gathered all the time. The riverside has never been so lively. The launch of that small raft caused the same effect as the launch of aircraft carriers in later generations.

Several people and children of Zhu Monkey rushed up to try to row, and several men also went up to spear fish with weapons to prevent the eagle from being beautiful. Others were critical, pointing, and laughing and cheering from time to time.

Instead, the forest trail and the eagle came down from the raft early in the morning. The pond by the river was watered with mud-smeared rattan baskets and prepared to soak the furs. The eagle stands in the shallow water of the river to salvage the bamboo that floats downstream.

Later, people who had gone out came back one after another, and they also came to see what was going on.

Wearing straw sandals, Caiyu looked like a horse that had just gotten on the iron hoof, and ran high to the river.

After looking at the raft curiously, he came to Lin Ji's side: "No feet, no feet." ”

Lin Ji pressed the fur into the water, pressed it with a stone, and casually gave Caiyu a perfunctory smile: "How's the harvest?" ”

Today is the first time that straw sandals have been practiced under a woman's feet, and it should have a positive effect.

"We got a lot, and we knocked down the trees with long poles. But there are too many squirrels, and they are still competing with us, and they are very fierce. ”

Lin Ji didn't pay much attention to this, thinking about whether to cover this pool at night, otherwise something would come and steal fur to eat, and the loss would be not small.

The overall harvest of the day was really good. The women returned with a full load, and the stock of chestnuts almost doubled.

The man who had gone out hunting also came back from hunting a wild boar. The wild boar had been pierced several times, and when the pig was killed, Lin Ji took a look and found that there were broken bone fragments in the wound. Is this the secret use of the bone spear?

Lin Ji didn't even find out when they polished it.

On the fishing side, it turned out to be the worst harvest.

Fishing in the river with nets has little effect. And then everyone made too much noise by the river, which scared the fish away a lot, and a few men didn't catch any fish.

However, when Da Ji saw the raft go into the water, he didn't care about it. Lin Ji was given a large piece of wild boar, and there was a bit of fat on it. This should be considered the best meat. Eagle also received a lot of meat from Daihime, and apparently his efforts were also recognized by Daihime.

Lin Xi carefully tore off the fat from the wild boar, and exchanged the lean meat and people for two fish, ready to show everyone a new way of cooking.

He found a thin slate, washed it, and roasted it over the fire, and then put the fat on it and fried it to make oil.

When the fat meat is slag, Lin Ji carefully puts the fish on the stone slab and fries it back and forth on both sides. Originally, it was going to be fried until it was golden on both sides, but the heat was a little poorly controlled, and it was all blackened. Lin Ji estimated that the fish was almost cooked, so he added wild onions and perilla as if nothing happened, and took the pot - and clamped the stone slab with bamboo tongs.

The aroma of fried fish overshadows all the smell of the food being grilled. As soon as Lin Ji looked up, he found dozens of eyes around him looking at him. The children drooled around the forest trails without any scruples.

There's no way to get it all to yourself. It is a sad that there are more monks and less porridge, and it is not a good thing that the dishes are too good. Especially in prehistory. Because at this time, everyone will be very magically reminded of such a thing as egalitarianism.

Lin Ji broke one of the fish in half and sent the head to Daihime. This is the boss of the tribe and cannot be offended. The tail part is given to Luo Qi, which is the mother of the biological body, and it is estimated that you will cry if you don't give it.

There is another one, the forest trail sandwiched a little bit and tasted it, a little fish fragrance, but no salt was put in it, it was still light.

For the rest, everyone lined up and tasted a little for each person.

"Crooked, don't use your hands, you just buckled your ass, right?"

"A little less, a little less, there are still people waiting to eat in the back."

"Brother Po Tu, what are you here to make trouble, you have enough food to eat today......"

Da Ji and a few old guys blew on the fish, giggling and watching Lin Ji divide the fish over there. Luo Que stuffed the fish into his mouth, ignoring the envious gaze around him. I will not give you anything to eat that my son has given me, and I have eaten better meat, but I will not tell you.

Naturally, two small fish could not satisfy the appetite of so many people in the tribe. Especially after Luo Qi ate half a fish alone.

Those who were not satisfied with the food contributed the fat in their hands, and then piled the half-cooked fish one by one around the forest traces. The meaning is self-explanatory.

Someone said that the mud may be fragrant when fried in mud. Lin Ji had no choice but to erect the slate again, fry the oil, fry the fish, fry the oil again, fry the fish, until the slate was roasted and cracked.

After the raft was launched, Lin Ji made two new things.

The first is swimming.

With the launch of the raft, everyone's fear of the underwater world gradually decreased. Even a child like Caiyu dares to step on a raft to cross the river or something.

There are many people on the raft, and it is inevitable that they will fall into the water. The people of the tribe hardly knew how to swim, and Lin Ji was afraid of any accidents, so he acted as a swimming instructor.

At this time, there was no lifebuoy, so Lin Ji tied a few small rafts for everyone to practice.

Of course, only children are the first to accept this kind of thing. After Lin Ji explained the theory and the truth that water can drown people, he first let the three of them go down to the river. The other children had to wait for the Zhu Monkey to learn before they could play. Those below one meter are not yet in the black line of the cave, and cannot enter the water. Because the water ghost would drag such a short person away......

The athletic talent of primitive people is indeed speechless. Lin Ji remembers that when he learned to swim in later generations, he soaked in the water for many days before he could barely find a feeling, and the boy Zhu Monkey learned how to shave the diving dog in freestyle in one day, and he dared to enter the water in a few days, and then floated up from more than 20 meters away to play backstroke. Even a little girl like Caiyu can swim back and forth with her long legs for a few days.

If it weren't for the colder weather and the lower water temperature, these people would probably not be able to get up in the water for a day.

At this time, the eagle usually sits cross-legged on the raft, looking at it with envy, and then takes its new tools and goes to a farther place to spear fish.

His legs can't go into the water yet. With the raft, he could move while sitting, and he was reluctant to get up.

And he is a new tool, which was invented by Lin Ji on the basis of a short spear, reminding of the wild survival programs of later generations.

The new tool is a bamboo clip with one end split.

Break six pieces of the more elastic bamboo in front of it, and then use a small wooden stick to push out the gap, so that the broken part is slightly open, and the tool is done.

The spearfish has to pierce the spear into the smooth body of the fish in order to pick it up. This tool does the opposite, as long as the fish is sandwiched into the gap between the bamboo pieces, the fish will be caught by the bamboo pieces and can be forked.

Comparatively speaking, this bamboo clip has a larger striking surface and is more effective.

Spearfish requires the perfect combination of speed, strength and eyesight to spear it up. Not all of them are adults.

After practice, the three people of this clip vermilion monkey stone beak pier wood can also use it proficiently, and the success rate is quite high. With this, the eagle just threw away the short spear and played this croaking with it.

In the middle of the river, the effect of the net pocket is greatly reduced, and this bamboo clip has become the main force of fishing.

Of course, in fact, this kind of tool that can only shoot when you see a fish is still very inefficient. Even with the eagle's hard work, the catch is inevitably declining these days.

Lin Ji felt that in order to maintain a stable catch, it was necessary to have a large net. The big net is also quietly taking shape at this time.
