Chapter 67: The Bamboo Thing
No, why did you come again? Su Yang is also drunk, he doesn't worry about getting married at all, no, he doesn't worry about marrying. If he ascends to the top and shouts, the one who comes to the door can trample the herd to death.
The pattern of do not disturb is too small, he prefers to set up a ring to compete with relatives, uh, don't think about taking a daughter-in-law first.
For the gift money of the hat, he refused it on the spot, leaving it for the odd goods to live in. When the time comes, he will write a book of Su's treasure book for future generations of singles Wang to learn the posture of flirting with girls.
Subsequently, the Mang tribe selected two old men, seven adults, and fifteen children to live in the Rock Tribe. There were fifty-two men left, about the same size as the population of the Chaos Tribe, and they continued to live in the valley ahead, which was relatively safe.
As for hunting, you don't have to hunt together every time, just agree to hunt together once in a while. Winter is coming, and it does need a sweep to make sure there is meat to survive the winter.
The population of the Rock Tribe is already one hundred and sixty people, which is still a small number, but in this area, it is a lot. It is about an hour away from the Chao tribe and the Mang tribe, but unfortunately the rock is on the edge and sooner or later it will have to migrate.
At this time, the tribes on both sides buried those who died in battle, Su Yang silently thought, hoping that these people would have a good birth in the next life, preferably in modern times, even if they were a sling, a leftover woman or something, at least their lives were guaranteed.
After returning to the tribe, because there were more than forty more people in just one or two days, the caves were really not enough, causing some caves to return to group life, and it was only like this for the time being.
He was going to rest in the tribe for a few days, and then he would go out to hunt and fish, but this year had entered the winter break, so there was no need to travel far to catch up with the ruins. On this day, the people from the Yan clan did not come, and it was only a day or two to come.
He had already given a gag order to keep the matter of boiling salt and pottery secret, both of which had not yet reached the time of popularization, and he did not want to make a wedding dress in vain.
It was rare to be idle, and Su Yang resumed his weaving work. The first thing is to dispose of the hemp silk and dry it quickly. Hemp is actually very hard, but as long as it is kept dry, it is more durable, like a mosquito net made of hemp, which can be used for a lifetime, and it will feel very cool when used. This is coarse cloth, for the public, his own words, he should consider raising silkworms in the future, get some silk, and secretly wear it at night, and have a primitive version of brocade clothes at night. If you think about it far, let's guard against arrogance and rashness first.
Regarding hemp, in fact, there is a fruit called hemp seeds, of course it is not produced by this kind of ramie, that kind of hemp seeds can be eaten, but Su Yang has never seen it, and this is not a staple food, so he will not bother to find it.
Having rice is equivalent to solving a big problem, and after determining the location of the tribe to be built, and after clearing the wasteland, it will slowly replenish the crops. He stored the tubers he had brought back from the savage area last time, and he was sown them in the spring.
For the approximate planting season of various crops, he can only plant them in batches based on his impressions, and after the experimental feedback, it will be easy to do in the coming year.
He stored the rice in a clay pot, and if there was sunlight, he took it out to dry, and then he could drink porridge next year, and this day would have a rush.
Su Yang is studying the hat and the pot lid, these two things are similar in shape, but the size and materials are slightly different.
The hat is also called the hat, and it is the same as the pronunciation of the woman's hat, which is a coincidence. It is woven with bamboo strips, and the filling is made of bamboo leaves, which is relatively lightweight, and it is suitable for wearing it on the head.
The lid of the pot is also made of bamboo strips, and the bamboo shoot shell is stacked together like a cover tile in the middle, and the gaps can be sewn with hemp silk, which is durable.
After thinking about it, he didn't start immediately, but first listed the tools to be used, and there was a lot of time in winter, so that everyone in the tribe could make tools in the cave, and they could use them when spring began.
The other is the dustpan, which is made of bamboo, divided into two kinds, one is round, and the other is open, just like a garbage shovel. There are two kinds of round ones, seamed and seamless, and the bamboo used is generally different, and the names are inconsistent in various places. There are also two kinds of openings, one is rough, very well prepared, also called round pockets. There is also a type that looks like a triangle from the side, called a file. The former is mostly used to carry things, or dustpan things; The use of the latter can replace the shovel of later generations, and is mainly used to transport dried grain.
There are also such as back baskets, baskets, ash sieves, rice sieves, brooms, grain rakes, water pockets, fence leaks, etc., all of which are made of bamboo, but the shape is different, and the name and use are different. Take the water pocket, for example, this thing is shaped like a basket, but the bottom is arched, like a funnel but not a funnel, and is used to scoop water instead of a pump.
It can be said that before the advent of modern scientific and technological agricultural tools, the tools used in every labor could find substitutes, and the wisdom of the predecessors was unlimited.
Su Yang also relies on today's strong memory to try his best to copy, bamboo is ready-made, no need to use in vain, in later generations, doesn't the emperor also use bamboo slips.
Also, the bamboo pieces that are white and relatively soft and will not cut the skin are actually very useful and can solve the annoyance of Izumo.
It seems that bamboo can also be used to make bows and arrows, and he knows the principle, so it depends on whether it is powerful or not, and he will study it slowly in winter.
"Huh!" Su Yang inadvertently grabbed a model he had made before, which was a sword made of bamboo chips, but how could he feel that his hand had become a little bigger, and he could hold the small bamboo sword in its entirety. It seems that he has not only grown bigger, but also his palms have grown a lot, which is gratifying.
He hurriedly ran back to the cave, where there was a line he had drawn last time he had measured his height, and when he took such a measurement, he found that he had only grown a little taller, something was wrong.
Looking at the small bamboo sword in his hand, he suddenly thought of an advertising slogan, "It's not that you've become bigger, it's that Oreo has become smaller." ”
"Who, who the hell copied my bamboo sword." Su Yang ran out violently and roared, isn't this a pit man, making him happy in vain.
In the end, I really found the man, who had only followed him from the Mang tribe yesterday, and it was still an adult man named Bibo.
Su Yang asked Bi Bo to make another bamboo sword on the spot, which simply reached the peak of the cottage, exactly the same as what he made before, talent.
He simply took Bi Bo with him and let him follow him to make bamboo utensils, maybe he could teach a big apprentice.
In fact, Su Yang is very similar to getting some wood, but the tools can't work, so he can only retreat and get the bamboo tools first. After the bazaar was set up, he had time to try his luck to find copper, gold, and iron mines, and he didn't have so much energy for the time being.
In addition, Prabhu had already taken the men to cut down trees outside, anyway, this place would not stay for long, it was better to cut down all the nearby trees, even if they could be used as firewood, it would also appear to be more empty, and if there was danger approaching, it would be discovered immediately.
The Rock Tribe is not completely undefended, first of all, even if this geographical location is relatively safe, so that the enemy cannot charge, and it is difficult to raid, but the nearby supplies are too insufficient and too marginal.
"Here, the Yan clan is here, Su Yang, go over quickly." Someone was shouting loudly.
