Chapter Eighty-Seven: Brazier Barbecue
"Moo!" Early in the morning, the sound of cow cries began to echo in the rock tribes.
The injured calf had been fed, and was happily munching on the reeds, and could be roped after two months.
Puppy bears are omnivores, easy to feed, and may soon go into hibernation.
The little white fox always ran out of the tribe, and Su Yang almost didn't care about it, as if he had a cat at home, and he just remembered to feed it once in a while, and he didn't wait.
And the seven little Shiba dogs already know how to spread joy in the tribe, and they are all fed, but I don't know if they will awaken their animal nature when they grow up.
The breeding of rabbits is also quite successful, although seven or eight have died in the process, but most of them have been raised, and there are already two litters of rabbits that have just been born for a few days, and I believe that there will be more and more in the future.
The number of clansmen has not decreased, it can be said that in the past few months, the rock tribe has achieved leapfrog development, but the year is approaching, and this material is still scarce.
People living in the world are nothing more than food, clothing, shelter and transportation, clothes are fine, with the animal skin he changed back before as a supplement, so that each clan can have a piece of animal skin, of course, it cannot be a whole, so many parts of the body are exposed to the air, so there is no winter to go out at all, frostbite is small, freezing to death is a tragedy.
Su Yang can't solve this problem for the time being, so everyone can't come to a new set of leopard skins, and they can only make as many brown skins as possible to keep warm.
In terms of shoes, the only way to do this was to collect more cattails, so that the women could learn to weave straw sandals, fill them with brown skins, and wrap them in the scraps of animal skins. This requires the use of needles and threads, hemp is the best thread in this period, and the needles are obtained by polishing the bones of fish and animals.
Needlework is actually relatively simple, and the final knot is also skillful, women are born with this talent, what is lacking is only teaching and time to learn.
In the place where you live, you must reduce the use of caves in winter, and group heating is the mainstream now. Compared to previous years, with reeds and palm mats, it is already much better, at least lying on it, the back will not get cold.
Su Yang urgently asked the pottery team to make a batch of braziers, which were used to burn charcoal for heating in winter, and there were skills in using them, that is, after each fire to cook food, the charcoal that had not been burned out in the fire was shoveled into the brazier, and then covered with a layer of plant ash on it.
In this way, the charcoal in the brazier will burn very slowly, and when you don't feel the heat, you can occasionally turn the brazier with bamboo chips, so that the charcoal below comes into contact with the air, and then the heat will come out, and there will be no smoke, a brazier can last for several hours, and then you can add some stored charcoal, then you can keep the heat all night.
In the end, all the plant ash is left in the brazier, which can also be used as fertilizer, and sprinkled on the "Xiang", mixed with it, not only to prevent odor, keep dry, but also enhance fertility.
Of course, the cutting of timber has been going on all the time, and has accumulated a lot in the cave, which should be enough to survive the winter.
Clothes and accommodation are barely solved, and he can only try to improve them, but he has to rely on two legs to walk, at least what to say about winter skiing, for the time being, he can only imagine it out of thin air, he can't play at all, and he doesn't feel that he can slide in the jungle.
In the end, we still have to work hard in terms of food, and it is expected that we can store more than 30 catties of salt at most before winter, even if each person only eats three grams of salt per day, it will not be able to support the winter. But now the salt is expensive, it's no problem to save a little, and it can only be like this at present, it's too late to mine the salt mine, and I haven't been able to find the second salt spring, let alone dig the salt spring rashly, alas!
There are also dozens of pottery at most, and an average of several people use one pottery, which is also a tight day.
So Su Yang hurried up to make a simple stove with clay, which could only be the size of three pottery overlapped, and used for soil firing, a layer of charcoal and a pottery, and then a layer of charcoal and a pottery, introducing air from below and opening the top to ignite the inside of the furnace and control the fire. However, this method can easily deform the pottery, and the probability of cracking is also relatively large. However, it can effectively solve the problem of insufficient firing temperature.
How much can be burned in winter, with pottery, it can be used immediately to improve the living conditions of the tribe.
For this reason, it is necessary to reserve a lot of clay, but fortunately, the manpower is still enough, Su Yang just improved the shortcomings that he thought of immediately, and of course he implemented it when he could do it.
His wooden house has finally been capped, and the reeds used are still at the level that the wind can be breathed on all sides, and I am afraid that I will not be able to live in winter, so I will put it there as a symbol and mascot. It also gave the tribesmen a concept of the house in their minds, and they had more confidence in the tribal migration next year.
There was even a surprise that after the reed house was built, the elders often stayed in it, or sat at the door, and actually moved the place of discussion out of the cave. The rest of the clan also often paused there, not to mention the children, each of whom slipped through the overhead space under the house, playing a game similar to peek-a-boo.
Therefore, Su Yang said that the house is a mascot, and the spiritual value is higher than the practical value, of course, because everyone likes it so much, he continues to invest manpower and material resources.
Su Yang asked people to spread reeds on the wooden sticks on the ground, as well as scattered brown skin, immediately, the cold wind poured up from under the house was not so strong, and the round house was also surrounded by woven bamboo fences, which were smeared with clay, and the reeds were spread on the periphery, and it was much warmer inside.
And because of the brazier, it can prevent fires, so it can be used in the reed house, and it seems that people can live in the house in winter.
But on the other hand, the house wasted too much manpower and material resources, and Suyang, the developer, felt that the cost was not returned, and he lost money and made money.
"The last hunt will be tomorrow." Matsu sat on the futon, her hands naturally resting on her knees, and she was in a good mood.
Beside him, an elder turned the brazier with a bamboo chip, revealing the fiery charcoal below, and immediately there was hot air in his face, and the whole room was warm.
Su Yang brought a clay pot at this time, which was boiled meat, each piece was the size of a fist, and it was cooked until it was seven or eight ripe.
Then, he took a piece of bamboo two fingers wide and more than a meter long, and inserted the meat on the top of the bamboo piece.
Then the five elders and he began to barbecue the meat, using a brazier to grill in the house, which was not a pleasure, but it was warm enough in this season, and the key was that the atmosphere was important.
"Poof!" The meat starts to bubble with oil when it heats up, and the smell of burnt grease dripping into the brazier makes people appetite.
There is no rich spices, only one kind of medicinal material is found at present, the rattan has a barb, and it is kneaded into powder after drying, which can treat the child's night crying, and this rattan has a peculiar fragrance, it is Matsu's whim to use it to barbecue, but I didn't expect the taste to be really good, quite a little bit of braised meat.
Su Yang didn't care if this hooked rattan spice was a medicinal herb, he wouldn't have cried, so he should consolidate it, and immediately grabbed the hooked rattan powder and sprinkled it on the barbecue, smelling it and making him hungry.
Brazier barbecue is not his original, it has gradually become popular before he crosses the modern era, people are pursuing this retro style, a large group of people around the brazier grilling large pieces of pork belly, pork, ribs or something, in a few sips of wine, I feel that the whole person does not want to want, the pressure is swept away.
"Matsu, tomorrow will we be with the Chaos Tribe, or will it be called Heavenly Wolf and Mang?"
Su Yang asked this, and without waiting for the old man to answer, he began to bite and eat meat, well, this is what he wanted, the charcoal fire roasted the outside of the meat to a little burnt, and the bite was a little hard, but it was very fragrant, because the meat had been cooked, so the inside was also cooked, and it was boiling with oil, he really couldn't resist, he felt that he could take off ten skewers.
Of course, they are not eating alone, this is all allocated meat, everyone has it, and the rest of the people will also eat barbecue, but they don't eat it so uniquely, after all, there is currently such a wooden house in the tribe, which is a private room.
