Chapter 8 Effect of Rope Nets

The festive atmosphere is a thing that happens when there is plenty of food. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe two hundred pounds of crocodiles made the people of the tribe feel like they were having a festival again. The grandmother was happy and made an exception for them to eat during the day.

The work of uncutting crocodiles is still the hands of adults, and the rough work of cutting crocodile skin with sharp stones is more than enough for Wang Chuan, but his mother specially ordered to listen to Wang Chuan's command when unshaving. As a result, the tribe produced the first relatively complete animal skins.

Forget about nitrate or something. There is not even lime water to be found in the tribe, and other nitrate medicines may be waiting for 10,000 years. So this crocodile skin was just left to dry. Wang Chuan planned to go back and scrape the fat off the skin, roast off some of the fat, and then scrape off some of the fish scales to complete the nitrate.

This first piece of skin was for the mother. The mother was very happy to see it, and announced that all the furs would be disposed of according to Wang Chuan's method in the future. You can't cut it indiscriminately and throw it into the fire and burn it.

Wang Chuan also saw that if he wanted the people in the tribe to move, he had to speak to his mother. So I didn't let the adults go out in the afternoon, and commanded them too.

Women are all learning to rub ropes and knot big nets. The man prepares a long-pole stone spear and learns how to hunt crocodiles.

After knowing that the threat in the river is a crocodile, it is time to remove the threat from the big river in the future. The great river was supposed to become a food source for the tribes. Until the threat of crocodiles disappears in this section of the river, crocodiles are the protagonists.

If there is necessary preparation to hunt crocodiles, it will not be as dangerous as Wang Chuan himself. Just pay attention to a few important points.

The first is not to go into the water. Crocodiles are haunted underwater, and when they bite their food, they will tear it apart by rolling their bodies, a method also known as death rolling, which shows how terrible they are underwater. Working with them in the water is impatient.

Second, crocodiles don't retreat, so prepare a sturdy net. As long as the body is restrained by the big net, it will only be slaughtered.

Thirdly, the adults of the tribe should be at least in groups of three, and each of them should prepare a long-pole stone spear. In this way, it can be difficult for the crocodile to get close, and the crocodile's mouth and teeth are useless.

At the same time, the crocodile's eyes are the crocodile's weak point, and poking the crocodile eye when encountering a crocodile threat can make it loosen its mouth; The crocodile's tail can sweep off trees, and some things that Wang Chuan remembered when hunting, such as paying attention to avoidance, also told these adults that made them less afraid of crocodiles.

The long-pole stone spear is prepared for more than two meters and five, and it is still done by using the method of grinding and polishing wooden sticks and tying stone spears. The knotting team with adult women joining greatly increased their mobility, and soon the first large net knotted with rope was knotted.

When the tools were ready, Wang Chuan tied a bundle of grass and trees and threw it on the ground as a crocodile for the men to practice. Adults who originally felt a little embarrassed were reluctant to do it. After being scolded by my mother, I became obedient. When you say you throw a net, you throw a net, and when you say thorns, you keep stabbing at the bundles of grass and trees. It's just that they are puzzled by the exercise, can they really kill crocodiles with a few of grass and trees?

Seeing their thoughts, Wang Chuan beckoned them to go to the river to fight.

Those who had barely set foot in the river were visibly flustered. People who run in the mountains and forests all year round can slip and fall in the pile of fallen leaves. Fortunately, there were many strong people, and under the leadership of Wang Chuan, everyone walked to the river.

When he picked up the shrubs by the river and saw many rotten wood-like objects floating in the puddles by the river, Wang Chuan also felt that his scalp was numb. There are more crocodiles in this river than you think.

Don't go into the water the first one to hunt a crocodile, so don't worry about what is in the water. They soon found a crocodile in the grass by the river that should have just been fed and lazy in the sun.

Seeing such a living beast opening its mouth to chase flies from time to time, the adults of the tribe couldn't help but tremble.

This time does not allow them to hesitate. Wang Chuan knew the truth in one go. So he pushed the adults a few steps forward, made a brief formation, and then retreated behind them, standing in a place where he could run at any time. Then a rock was smashed into the crocodile's head.

This time the distance is very close, and the stones are not small.

The next thing, ignoring the mistakes in these people's panic, the whole process is as simple as a dream. When the crocodile came running, he threw the net out, and then poked it with a stone spear, and it was over.

When these adults poked the crocodile until they even stopped their nerve reactions, and looked up at Wang Chuan like children waiting for praise, Wang Chuan felt that his liver hurt. Not to mention that it is completely dead, there is an inch of good meat on that crocodile, and I don't know if it is the good fortune of eating and cultivating for several lifetimes, okay?

What's more, the one who lost the net almost didn't throw the net on his own head, just stabbed the crocodile a few times and knocked down several of his own people with the spear shaft by the way, and in the process he also yelled, almost didn't lead the other crocodiles to the shore, you are embarrassed to praise? Let's get on the crocodile and run early. By the way, put the unlucky guy who was knocked down and didn't get up yet.

On this day, Grandma's smile may have been even more than the year before. The panic from the river was lifted, and her spirit was greatly relaxed. The hundreds of catties of meat and the food source in front of her also made her proud, and announced that she would let go of her stomach and eat it casually today!

This is about to be killed, and the people of the tribe probably never know what it is to be fed, and in the absence of moderation, the amount of food these people can be called terrifying. So everyone stuffed their stomachs, rolled around, and gasped for air. The two crocodiles weighed more than 300 or 400 pounds, and after they ate them twice, less than half of them were left!

When others were eating Haisai, Wang Chuan methodically cut the crocodile meat into strips and hung it up, and put it on the fire to smoke and roast. During the roasting process, from time to time find some of the most tender parts, sprinkle some chopped perilla, and then roast and eat slowly. When I was done, I found two wild vegetables, roasted them and ate them. He has almost two meals to eat these days, which is basically not much different from the pace of life in later generations, but he is not as fanatical about food as they are.

Although it is cool in the morning and evening, the overall temperature is still relatively high, and it is estimated that these meats will not be able to be stored for a few days without processing. In the absence of salt, this kind of smoking and grilling should dry the meat, and then put it in a ventilated place should allow the meat to sit longer. From now on, there should be no shortage of crocodiles, and the meat will not be eaten immediately, so it should be okay to save it until winter.

The people who had nothing to love stopped eating, but found that Wang Chuan was still barbecuing, and couldn't help but wonder how much he could eat. Wang Chuan said: "Grill the meat a little dry, you can leave it for a few more days, and then eat it when it snows." ”

"Like those dried fruits?" Mother enlightened. At that time, when Wang Chuan said that she wanted to take out the fruit to dry, she was so heartbroken that she would die of pain, and if she dried it, she would be eaten by birds and squirrels, not to mention, and it would be reduced a lot if it was dried. At that time, she was also pampered and obedient to Wang Chuan's wishes, but she didn't expect that she checked these foods in the past few days and found that the rotten situation was really almost gone.

Almost all of this child's words are reasonable, but sometimes the words are too strange to be understood, what to preserve, what to dry, and he doesn't know where to learn these words.

After Wang Chuan confirmed, Ah Mu once again drove all kinds of people who were spread on the ground to learn Wang Chuan's barbecue. One by one is too lazy to turn into stones. It's still my fire boy, no, it's my roar fire boy who is useful. As he spoke, he touched the oil on Wang Chuan's head lovingly.

When the crowd was mobilized to barbecue, the mother remembered something, tore off another piece of the fattest crocodile meat on the roasted crocodile meat, walked to a stone that was a little dented and had some hoarfrost in it, and rubbed it ruthlessly, and then came back and stuffed it into Wang Chuan's mouth.

Wang Chuan thought that this was some kind of ritual, and was about to refuse, when the tip of his tongue came into contact with a familiar salty taste. It's salt.

The salt entered his mouth, and the fat that he wanted to spit out was reluctant to spit out. I just wanted to marinate the meat with salt, and there it is. After searching for a long time from the memories of this life, I found that the tribe had long been in the habit of eating salt. It's just that the amount of salt is minimal. There are also only two sources.

One is when you invite the god of fire, you exchange the obtained pieces of salt. These pieces of salt will be in the hands of the mother, and the mother will melt it into the stone hollow just now. Generally, only meritorious people can eat a little bit when eating. Another source is a shrub called salt fruit in the mountains. When the fruit is ripe, this shrub produces white table salt crystals on the fruit the size of a little finger. When people in the tribe met them when they went out, they would collect them and eat them like sugar, and Wang Chuan remembered that before he came, this body had also picked this fruit and eaten it.

Both sources of salt are very low. The salt cubes exchanged are generally no more than the size of a fist, and the price is very expensive, and it takes a lot of materials to get it. Salt fruits, on the other hand, are generally available in autumn. In addition to humans eating this kind of thing, other wild animals will also eat this kind of thing. Therefore, the quantity is so small that it is almost impossible to marinate meat.

But this reminded Wang Chuan that there were salt mines near here in later generations. It's just that the salt mine in this place does not produce much, and later it was said that the potassium, phosphorus and nitrate in this salt mine exceeded the standard, and the sales volume was not large, and at the same time, the mining process turned the salt mine into saline-alkali land. In addition, the source of sea salt is stable. The government shut down the mine in the early years when it shut down small polluting companies.

Later, this place was dug up several hills due to mining, and became a saline land, and also became a local tourist destination. The local salt ore salt-baked food is quite famous. Many people like to go there to collect salt ore by themselves, detoxify and make homemade salt-baked food. Wang Chuan has also been there.

But now that I think about it, it's hard to use these salt mines right away. The salt mine in my memory is more than 20 kilometers away from here, and future generations will have to take a car to get there. Now that the people go out on their feet, and there is no road in the mountains, it is estimated that the tribesmen will not be able to run ten kilometers in a day when they go out hunting. That's a few days to walk for more than 20 kilometers. And also without getting lost. Wang Chuan's small body, if you want to lead the way, you can come back after going out for a few days.
