Chapter 50: Ramie
"Su Yang, okay, no." The merchant girl urged.
This made him quickly come back to his senses, get rid of distracting thoughts and concentrate on teaching, not to mention that even if he has the heart now, he is not enough!
It didn't take long for the merchant girl to gradually find her senses, and it was estimated that she would be able to catch up with him a few more times, and stage an original version of the blue out of the blue is better than the blue, and the apprentices of the church starved to death of the master.
They can't just patronize the water, they have to continue to catch fish, and they don't wait. In the middle of the afternoon, the fish caught were already piled up in the small inlet, and it was difficult to judge how many catties there were, but there were definitely a lot.
"You can pack up and get ready to go back." Su Yang began to beckon everyone to come ashore, the fish can't be caught, not to mention that it is not private ownership now, even if you catch more, you have to share it with everyone after you go back, so it is almost done, occasionally hit a point, and the water flows for a long time.
At this time, the dizziness caused by the fruit powder began to subside, and the first to wake up was naturally the larger fish, so if you continue to catch it, you can only catch small fish, and there is no need to kill them all.
After the team landed, the fish were loaded, and the colored fish needed to be singled out, referring to the kind with several colors, just like choosing a mushroom, the more bright the more inedible.
Then put the smallest fish into clay pots, and the largest fish are skewered with rattan, which is simple, just pass through the gills of the fish, and take it back to the tribe and slowly deal with it. If they wanted to be big, they wrapped them in animal skins, and they also brought a basket that could hold a lot of them.
Today's harvest should be several hundred catties, in fact, it is not as good as the output of a small fish pond in a year, and it is not as cost-effective as a hunt. However, fishing also has benefits, it is basically not dangerous, and it can enrich the variety of food.
Fish is one of the mainstream of carnivorous products and cannot be ignored.
When he thought of fishing line, he thought of the plant "hemp". The early fishing nets were woven with hemp rope, and the saying that three days of fishing and two days of drying nets can explain a lot of lofty connotations, in fact, the root cause is that hemp needs to be dried after soaking in water, otherwise it is easy to rot, and it is not lazy to dry the nets often, but to prolong the life of the fishing nets.
In later generations, fishing nets were not only fishing tools, but also made into socks, nets for long legs, and the eyes of men.
Su Yang also took a look at a sock and knew the whole picture, and felt that he should be able to weave a high-quality fishing net, of course, the premise is that he needs to find hemp, indeed it is said to find "ramie", this plant can get hemp fiber, used to make nets, process cloth, clothes, etc., of course, it is also used for sacrifices, such as wearing linen and wearing filial piety.
He had seen ramie planted in the land before crossing, because he was curious, so he specially pulled a few ramie to take a closer look, at that time he never thought that the hemp fiber is the stem bark of the hemp, the stem bark peeled off from the hemp stem, as long as it is rubbed in the water, the juice can be washed off and dried to get the white hemp fiber, which is simple.
And ramie is a lazy crop, after planting can be passed on, simply put, ramie roots can survive for at least ten years, or even more than a hundred years are common, a year can harvest at least three hemp fiber, what is this concept? Perhaps only hemp, a selfless and easy-to-feed fiber plant, can popularize clothes.
However, the stem of ramie is relatively fragile, and a large piece of ramie can fall down when swept over, and it will freeze to death in winter, of course, the roots are unharmed.
So it is impossible for him to find ramie in winter, and it is enough to choke in early spring. It was autumn, and it was just the right time, so he took it to heart and went to look for it when he came back from the ruins. Even if he finds that it is not ramie, but other hemp varieties, he can also distinguish it, it is very simple, a bamboo pole passes, the stem of hemp will break, but the stem bark will not, it is connected with the broken silk of lotus root.
Taking advantage of this characteristic, he may also be able to inquire with people from various tribes when he is rushing to the ruins, as long as he can find even one, he can breed a large area, and Gain ramie can be propagated by cuttings, which is simply a precious plant.
Plant a few forests and he will be able to lead the fashion trend. Wiping his saliva, he quickly stopped fantasizing, finding ramie was only the first step, he didn't know how the loom was made at all, although he had seen the loom many times, and he had also seen the ancient loom in some cultural centers. But seeing is not the same as being able to copy, whether he is a veterinarian or not, not a carpenter.
At this moment, the fish caught has been almost packed, although everyone still wants to take advantage of the time to go down to the river to continue fishing, but he is firmly opposed, he just wants to go back and have a good rest. After soaking in the water for a day in this kind of weather, his little Ding Ding changed color, and he was miserable and white, but he didn't leave any sequelae.
Thinking of this question, Su Yang suddenly felt a little worried about his genes, what if he could only give birth to a daughter with this physical attribute? When the time comes, will you have to return to the matriarchal clan?
Well, this problem is too far away, wait until he first finds a way to deal with the more than forty small tribes in this vicinity and then slowly speculate!
"Su Yang, I like to eat fish." The merchant girl held the clay pot with bright eyes, which was full of a kind of fish she liked to eat, and it seemed that she had put a lot of thought into it when she loaded the fish just now.
"I like to eat oil, too." She added.
Su Yang smiled, he didn't talk, he was watching and listening to all directions, maybe he was lucky enough to find ramie, when the time came, the shotgun was changed, and he first used hemp to weave an inner cool first.
But the merchant girl's next words almost made him fall to the ground, and he was really frightened.
I only heard the merchant girl say loudly: "When I have a child, I will also ask him to eat oil." ”
"What, do you want to say that your child eats oil, or does you want to name him Eat Oil?" Su Yang's heart was pounding, it was not his father-in-law, but his cub.
The merchant girl thought for a moment before saying, "Call him to eat oil, also call it oil." ”
Su Yang swallowed his saliva, his strands trembled a little, I hope this is really just a coincidence, the words with different homophones have different meanings. Although when he first met the merchant girl, he thought about having a monkey with her in the future, but if this monkey is called Chi You, whether he will be born or not, or change his name to Su Aotian or something, it will be even higher.
Stop, stop, stop!
"Merchant girl, let's not mention eating oil, let's just talk about eating fish. Also, tomorrow you go with me to the Rock Tribe, and I will teach you to smoke bacon, which is much better meat than jerky, which can be stored for a long time, and can be eaten in the next winter, even if there is no hunting success, you can eat meat at any time. Su Yang was deviating from the topic.
Who knew that the merchant girl said seriously: "You said that if you put salt in the oil, it can also be stored until the next winter, I don't want bacon, I love to eat oil." ”
"Look in the sky, there's a!" Su Yang looked up at the sky with a rich expression, and sure enough, the merchant girl was deceived, and he took this opportunity to run to the front of the team, can't we still hide if we can't afford to provoke.
