Looking at the fish dragged ashore, Wang Lang estimated that there must be at least 100 catties, and the mesh of the fishing net woven by the straw rope is also relatively large, and the big fish caught are more than ten catties, and this fish is enough for one person to eat two meals.

"Chief, I didn't expect there to be so many fish in this lake, if we come to catch them once a day, the problem of food will not be a problem at all!" Kong Yi said with a smile.

"How can you fish every day, it's just a few days, we don't live on this, besides, you eat fish every day, can you still eat it?" Wang Lang shook his head and smiled.

"Also, if you eat fish every day, you can eat yourself fishy, but if you catch it every few days, you can stick to it until the corn is harvested." Kong Yi said.

Wang Lang nodded and said, "Drag the raft up, and we'll go back after loading the fish." ”

For these newcomers to the tribe, He had seen so many fish at their fingertips, and when they heard that they were going back, they were a little harder than the old people of those tribes.

The two men carried a basket of fish with wooden sticks, and returned to the tribe beautifully, and when they passed the grass hut built outside the tribe, those who had no work to do suddenly seemed to have discovered some new world, and immediately surrounded them.

Looking at the baskets of big fish, one by one they stretched their necks and swallowed their saliva, if they didn't know the rules of the tribe, they would have gone up and picked up a fish and ate it.

Watching the team carrying the fish enter the wall, the group of people felt as if a piece of meat had fallen from their bodies, and they were heartbroken one by one.

Carrying the fish into the tribe, Wang Lang organized the women to use salt or smoke to process the fish, in the absence of ice, can only use this method to keep the meat from rotting, although this way, the taste of the meat is not very good for a long time, but at least eating it has no effect on the body.

"If only there was ice." Wang Lang muttered.

Although this is a tropical area, it is not impossible to make ice, and when he was in school with the method of making ice from nitrate, Wang Lang did experiments in this area, as long as there are raw materials to make ice, it is not a difficult task.

Although Wang Lang has heard of the method of making nitrate from dung, there is still too little manure for humans and animals, and there is no layer of white hair formed in the latrine, so the hope of making ice is far away.

If you can make nitrate, then even gunpowder can be made, and the ratio of one nitrate, two sulfur and three charcoal, which is familiar to students in their student days, should have heard of anyone who has studied chemistry.

But even if it can be made, the problem of sulfur cannot be solved, if you want to find natural sulfur, the vicinity of the volcano is the best place, as for the volcano, Wang Lang has been in this world for so long, he has never seen a volcano anywhere, the mountain behind the forest next to it is suspected to be a volcano, but Wang Lang can't be sure, the place looks very close, but he knows that it is not easy to get there, not to mention anything else, just passing through this jungle full of poisonous snakes and beasts is a difficult task.

By catching this batch of fish, the tribe's food will last for several days, and if it is caught a few times in the future, the tribe's food will become more abundant.

The successful completion of this fishing mission and the fact that there were no dangers during this period made Wang Lang feel that his previous worries were a little unnecessary, and perhaps there were no large predators there at all.

Now Wang Lang has included the lake in the scope of his own fish pond, such a large lake with such a small number of people in the tribe can never be fished, and Wang Lang only catches big fish, let go of small fish, so that the sustainable development strategy can be carried out to the end.

The fourth brick kiln has been built, and the three brick kilns have been started at the same time, and at the rate of five days out of the kiln, enough bricks can be produced in less than a month.

The banks of the river are also busy with large construction sites, and the construction of the embankment is getting longer and longer, and it will soon be completely completed, as long as the embankment is built, even in the rainy season, there is no need to worry about the flood destroying everything here.

At noon, the women brought a hot lunch to the people who worked, and the people who watched the sweet food, those who did not work, their gluttonous saliva flowed, and they all wanted to replace those people and go up to work by themselves, so that these delicious foods belonged to themselves.

But whenever they found their leader and wanted to apply for work, they were ruthlessly rejected, and each of them worked for a day, which was a rule set by Wang Lang, and no one dared to violate it.

Although Wang Lang didn't want to do this, he could only make a reasonable distribution to the maximum extent before the food was sufficient.

Women are not heavy manual laborers, and like those who do not work, including the stars, they are now limited to one meal a day.

Now the tribe, everyone tightened their belts to get through this difficult time in front of them, and if they want to end this frugal life, they can only wait for more than 20 days later, when the new corn is harvested.

In the midst of the hustle and bustle, there was good news, the day after the first fish were caught, the pregnant doe gave birth to three cubs, and the cucumbers in the vegetable field had already begun to be harvested, and some of the fresh cucumbers were picked and distributed to the soldiers, which made the newcomers envious and jealous.

After the cucumbers are picked, most of them are put into clay pots and pickled with salt, Wang Lang's favorite food is the green onion dipping sauce, drinking porridge with pickles, and now he can eat the familiar pickled cucumbers immediately, so he is very excited.

For those that have not been picked, Wang Lang plans to keep these as seeds, and when they are fully ripe, they can start planting the next batch, and this time the planting scale will be much larger.

The harvested cucumbers are salted under Wang Lang's direction, put into a clay pot in a jar, and placed under the dried fish.

The last fishing made the tribe have a lot more fish, and the pickled and dried ones are almost all over the tribe, and the air is filled with a burst of fishy smell.

The expansion of the tribe has already begun, and on the basis of the original tribe, Wang Lang plans to expand the tribe by about three times.

Nearly 100 people took tools to dig the pit where the wooden piles were buried, and the new wall was not an all-brick structure, if it was made of all-bricks, the bricks consumed would be an astronomical amount for Wang Lang.

The inside of the wall is rammed earth, the outside is covered with bricks, and the middle is fixed with wood.

Although the three brick kilns are now operating at the same time, it cannot supply the consumption rate of bricks, and this is still the case that Linhe Village did not come to ask for materials, if it is distributed to Linhe Village, these things produced will not be enough at all.
