Chapter 136: The Connection Between Food
Wang Hao, who was awakened by the scream, quickly stood up. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Wang Hu, who was breaking the fish, also pulled the short sword at his waist out of the scabbard. They all thought that there was a wild beast in the dark.
After understanding the situation clearly, Wang Hao found out that it was a clansman who was chopping fish, and because it was too dark, he accidentally chopped the axe on his hand.
At this point, even if you can't bear these fish, you have to stop working.
handed over the injured person to Shi Li to bandage, and then Wang Hao took everyone to clean up a little, and then went to prepare dinner.
After returning, the people brought the thick fishy back to the village. Under the leadership of Wang Hao, everyone who had initially had the concept of hygiene was in the dark, stripped themselves naked, and washed the fish blood on their bodies in the heavy rain.
Wang Hao sat in the dining shed, let Qian Duo bring hot water to help him wipe the fish blood on his hands and feet, frowned, and fell into contemplation again.
Wang Hu and the others gathered around him, waiting for him to come up with an idea.
It's just that Wang Hao's brows are getting deeper and deeper, but he can't think of a feasible way for a long time.
"Hao, it's raining so hard, even if we can wash the fish, we won't be able to finish it! You also said that if the fish is not smoked and dried, it will spoil in a few days, what should we do? Wang Hu couldn't bear it anymore and took the lead in asking. Usually, when there is a problem in the village, if everyone really can't solve it, they will come to Wang Hao, because Wang Hao will always come up with a solution.
If there are no fishing nets, it doesn't matter, even if there are more fish in the river, everyone will not be sad. But now, the people who have just eaten a little bit of the sweetness of fishing nets can clearly catch a huge amount of fish, but because of the heavy rain, they can't smoke a large amount of fish, which is really worrying.
"Xiao Hao, I also took a look at the sky today, with my experience over the years, it can be seen that this rain is different from the previous ones, if you want to stop, it will take at least four or five days. The wooden shed is too small to smoke too much dried fish, and without a wooden shed, it is impossible to make a fire, what should I do? "With the first opening, there is naturally a second opening. Wang Lung also spoke.
Wang Hao couldn't answer their questions at all, it was going to rain, his mother was going to get married, what could he do, if he built a sufficient number of wooden sheds, I am afraid that when the wooden sheds are built, Xia Xun will pass.
Before Wang Hao could speak, Wang Hu suddenly said, "Hao! I have a solution! ”
A wise man will make a mistake in a thousand thoughts, and a fool will gain a thousand foolishness. Hearing Wang Hu say that he had a way, Wang Hao's eyes instantly lit up, although Wang Hu is usually stupid and always can't think of ideas, but what if he suddenly had an idea this time and came up with a solution that no one else could come up with.
"What's the solution? You said! Wang Hao stood up and asked.
"I don't think we need to catch fish at all now, just wait until the weather is clear, and then cast our nets, at that time, don't we just raise as many fires as we want! How many fish can be smoked! Wang Hu was stunned by his own thoughts, and he suddenly realized that he was quite smart.
However, after Wang Hao listened to his method, he rolled his eyes speechlessly.
"It's summer flood, and it's time for the fish to go upstream to spawn, and only then will the fish pass by the village as if they were passing by.
In other words, the reason why we were able to catch so many fish was because all the fish from the lower reaches of the whole river came to us. After this period of time, all the fish will have their own territory, just like each of our villages has a different hunting range, they will not easily go to unfamiliar waters.
At that time, maybe the first few nets could have a good harvest, but by the time all the fish in our area were caught, maybe you didn't catch as many fish in ten days as you did in the two nets now. Seeing that everyone around them showed happy expressions at Wang Hu's words, Wang Hao had no choice but to explain.
"Isn't the water flowing, wouldn't that wash the fish over?" Wang Hu didn't understand Wang Hao's words at all, and explained aggrievedly.
"You..." Wang Hao felt speechless for a while, Wang Hu was good at everything, but his brain was really worrying.
"You just need to know that if we miss this time, we won't be able to catch so many fish in a year after the summer flood." In the end, Wang Hao still sighed and explained helplessly.
"What then?" After listening to Wang Hao's words, everyone became anxious and hurriedly asked.
"Alas, I can't help it, and I can only take one step at a time. What I'm worried about now is not fishing at all, but what the people who have come to work in our village to eat this year. Wang Hao said worriedly.
"It's okay, don't we have bows and arrows, go hunting if there is no fish to eat, and now catching prey is not like playing!" Wang Hu, who had just been refuted by Wang Hao, heard him say this, and immediately explained.
"It is with the bow and arrow that I am worried about eating. The advent of bows and arrows, although it facilitated our hunting, was also a serious disruption to the ecological balance. For other tribes, if the population is close to a thousand, the scope of the territory is very large, and the large area can provide enough prey for the population of their village.
But our village is different, the only place suitable for hunting is this plain and the periphery of the Black Forest, if we are just a small village of two or three hundred people, of course, there is no problem, how much new prey will be born as much as we eat, but when the rest of the village divides people to work with us, the demand for food will rise rapidly, and at that time, the speed at which new prey is born and grows will not be able to keep up with the speed at which we eat.
In other words, we will eat everything that can be eaten in this land. And it all happens in as little as a year. At that time, we will be starved to death! Wang Hao said worriedly.
When everyone heard this, they all understood the seriousness of the situation, and their faces changed in an instant.
Gu Mu thought for a while and said, "In that case, we can move the village again when the time comes." As long as you send someone to inspect the terrain in advance, and then make a plan, with the help of giants and eight-bull crossbows, even if you encounter second- or third-level creatures, there shouldn't be much risk. ”
"Impossible!" Wang Hao said loudly: "Move the village, if you move the village again, why should I let these foreigners come to our tribe to work, I am here to build a city, a city that can protect us humans forever, even if you meet a third- or fourth-level creature, you don't have to be afraid." ”
"If that's the case, we'll all eat this piece sooner or later, and at that time, the number of people will increase, and even if we can catch a lot of fish every year, we will starve to death!" Gu Mu listened to Wang Hao's words, raised his head, and said to him seriously.
"Nonsense, I've definitely thought about this. Remember the wheat you met on the day of exchange? That's my backhand, and even if there is no wheat, as long as we survive this year, we won't have to worry about eating next year. We can grow sweet fruits, and other plants that can be eaten. During this time, I rode the Giant Clawed Dragon out for a walk every day, for any reason, not to find those plants to grow. Wang Hao said.
"Hao, why didn't you plant it this year?" Wang Hu touched his head and asked.
"It's not that I don't want to plant this year, but I can't plant it, the transplantation of sweet fruit trees can only guarantee survival when it snows, and the rest of the plants that can be eaten are either not ripe yet, or they are ripe and have no seeds, remember the grass pits I asked you to collect last time? When the leaves turn yellow, we can bury them in the soil, and by the next year, grass and fruit will grow on the ground. Although grass fruit cannot be used as a staple food, it can also be used as a snack.
But that's just one of them, and now I've found dozens of things that I can grow, but they're not ripe enough to get seeds! Wang Hao sighed, sat back in his chair and said weakly.
The systematic identification technique not only allowed him to distinguish which things were edible, but also allowed him to understand how those things should be cultivated, but when he crossed over, it happened to coincide with the season of spring and summer, at this time, it was supposed to be the planting season, but unfortunately, he could not cultivate because he had no seeds, otherwise, he would not have bothered to catch more fish now.
