Chapter 122: Development
Kong Er left with people, and Wang Lang demanded that no matter whether he found the dinosaur eggs or not, he must return to the tribe within fifteen days, and the importance of people would always come first in his heart compared to the livestock that cultivated the land.
After the expedition team left, the tribe was still running in an orderly manner, nearly 30 acres of land in seven or eight days had been cleared, the weeds had been cut down after the sun exposure had become very dry, the firebreak had been cleared, just waiting for a fire to burn the dead grass, and then began to plant corn.
The cucumbers planted in the tribe have broken out of the soil, rows of tender green seedlings, which makes people look very happy, and when these cucumbers are ripe, Wang Lang plans to make a pottery pot, even if the pottery pot is broken, he will also make a cucumber scrambled egg to eat, in addition to eating barbecue, grass roots, and messy insects for two years, although now there are corn conditions that have improved a lot, but the taste of fried vegetables has always made him unforgettable.
But stir-frying must have an iron pot, although the clay pot can also stir-fry, but the breakage rate is too large, in order to fry a dish to break a pottery, once in a while is fine, if it has been so wasted, even if the pottery is made of mud, no one can bear this loss.
In order to have a higher yield of corn in the future, Wang Lang dug a pit next to the tribe, and the manure of humans and animals is undoubtedly the best fertilizer without chemical fertilizer.
Nature's purification ability will not allow the feces left in the wild to remain for too long, and the insects that feed on the feces will clean up the excrement in a few days.
For the thatched pit people resist at the beginning, there will be no unpleasant smell of dispersed excretion, but it is different when concentrated, due to the accumulation of feces, there is often a foul smell next to the thatched pit, every time the excretion, everyone is to try to solve it as quickly as possible, so as early as possible away from the place where people can faint.
In addition to human feces, Wang Lang also asked people to clean up the feces of the giant deer from the animal pen, dig a big pit, and pile up the feces of the giant deer in the pit.
Although it is disgusting to do, this method has been used by humans for thousands of years before the advent of chemical fertilizers, and it is unbearable to do so, and agriculture can only stay in the stage of slash-and-burn farming.
In addition to the daily tribal construction, Wang Lang did not relax the training of the men at all, two or three days ago, he conducted an assessment of the spearmen, due to the lack of time for training, it is difficult for people to achieve uniformity, a team of six people, not even a straight line for a day.
But there is a good saying, this is not the worst, only worse, these four squads are in competition with each other, there is still a squad, because it is really unsightly, Wang Lang punished him to run around the tribe for five laps.
But after the run, Wang Lang was not worried that they were tired like a puddle of mud, but that they had been running barefoot for so long, and several people had a few small cuts on the soles of their feet.
In order to prevent the wound from becoming infected, Wang Lang had some boiling water boiled and carefully cleaned the wound with a boiled dry straw stalk.
Then the women had the women boil a lot of straw to dry, and then use these things to bandage their injured feet.
Affected by this incident, Wang Lang realized that he was used to being a savage, since the shoes were broken, he has been running around barefoot for more than a year, and he has long been accustomed to this kind of life, but now these injured people have made him realize the seriousness of not having shoes.
With this concern, Wang Lang decided to make a straw sandal, even the most rudimentary straw sandals can provide a little protection for the feet.
Although Wang Lang has never knitted, he has not even seen straw sandals, but this does not stump him, find some weeds that have dried up wheat straw, Wang Lang removed part of the leaves, imitated the principle of weaving, and weaved together a straw pole according to the warp and weft, this mechanical repetition, if you are familiar with the steps, it is very fast, in less than half an hour, Wang Lang has woven a sole.
Too complicated straw sandals, Wang Lang can't make them, but the simplified version of straw sandals can not be a problem, he made the straw sandals look like flip-flops, and used several straw poles at the heel to get three things to fix the laces.
Wang Lang put on this simple straw sandal, tied the laces to his ankles, and tried to walk a few steps, at first he felt that the straw pole was a little awkward, but after getting used to it for a while, he felt much more comfortable walking than barefoot.
Looking at this simple sandal, Wang Lang couldn't help but think of the Roman-style sandals that women used to wear in that world.
Wang Lang sighed and said with emotion: "I can't imagine that my Wang Lang's dignified seven-foot man would actually wear sandals that only girls wear. Ay! ”
Since there is basically no work left in the tribe, and corn cultivation will not begin until a few days later, the men have to train every day in addition to going to the river to catch fish and turtles.
The training of archers is relatively simple, Lin Huo saw Wang Lang sitting alone on the wooden pier for half a day, and saw Wang Lang tying something to his feet and pacing back and forth, curious, Lin Huo let these thirteen people practice freely, and he also walked towards Wang Lang.
When he came to Wang Lang's side, Lin Huo saw Wang Lang holding a strange thing made of straw and looking at it carefully, and couldn't help asking, "Lang, have you made any good things again?" ”
Wang Lang looked up and saw that it was Lin Huo, smiled and said: "This thing is called straw sandals, after wearing it, you can avoid scratches on the soles of your feet, so that it can be safer when running." ”
Lin Huo looked at the simple straw sandals in Wang Lang's hand, and said with a smile: "Lang, can I try it?" ”
Wang Lang handed the pair of straw sandals to Lin Huo and said, "No problem, take it and put it on!" ”
Lin Huo took the straw sandals, and after asking Wang Lang how to wear them, he couldn't wait to put the straw sandals on his feet.
Looking at Lin Huo, who was standing there motionless and smirking, Wang Lang chuckled: "What are you doing standing there, take a few steps and try." ”
Lin Huo looked at his feet, as if he couldn't walk if he couldn't walk with these shoes, took a deep breath, and took the first step cautiously, seeing that there was nothing wrong, he was relieved, and his walking became much more normal.
Feeling the comfort under his feet, the forest fire walked faster and faster, and finally began to trot, his protected feet making him feel as if he were about to fly, a feeling he couldn't put into words.
