Chapter 8 The Emergence of Capitalism in Primitive Societies

When I got home, I asked Xiaoyu to bring a bundle of rope, and I followed Xiaoyu to prepare to go to the woodcut. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

To be precise, to cut the bamboo, the bamboo is hollow, the outer wall is thick, but the general rule is that it is much easier to cut than a solid tree. Walked for more than ten minutes. Xiaoyu stretched out his hand and pointed to a piece of green not far away and said, "That's where the round and straight green plants are." ”

Yao Ran picked up a very large fault rock by the river. and found another piece of bluestone, and smashed it down along the gap of the fault stone. The fault rock actually threw out a few irregular stones. Holding the broken stone chips, Yao Ran walked in the direction of the bamboo forest. This green bamboo forest is arranged in a disorderly manner, and at the same time it competes for the sunlight at the highest point, desperately growing higher to get more sunlight. The eyes are full of green, and there is a sense of immediacy when you have entered the Danqing ink painting.

There are many types of bamboo, of course Yao Ran can't tell what kind of bamboo is in front of him, there is no need to analyze anything, there is no need to study anything Yao Ran sat on the ground. Holding the stone chip in his hand, he began to rub and rub on a bamboo tree near the periphery. This calf-thick bamboo is more than ten meters tall. Xiaoyu looked at Yao Ran's movements at first and wanted to help with it, but Yao Ran refused, and Yao Ran asked her to pick some wild fruits. If you eat meat every day without vitamin supplements, you will get sick. As a foodie, although Yao Ran is not a picky eater, he also knows how to have balanced nutrition in order to live a long and healthy life. By the way, let Xiaoyu ask where the water will make the mouth thirsty. Time passed with the sound of stones rubbing against wood. The sun was already noon, Yao Ran was half-squatting in front of the bamboo, Lu Zhishen was uprooting the weeping willows, holding a long stone chip in his hand, rubbing left and right, the tough bamboo did not seem to be as easy to cut down as he imagined. Of course, because there are no tools to take advantage of. Yao Ran was about to knock him down. The morning's efforts only cut a third of the bamboo in front of me. Yao Ran stared at the red palm, he had to make a saw. But what material is suitable for stone? Wood? Bone? Thinking in his heart, he put down the stone in his hand, but the stone chip did not fall to the ground. Instead, it was stuck in Yao Ranmo's open hole. Yao Ran picked up a big stone on the ground and smashed it hard. The bamboo leaves were shaken off by the powerful force, Yao Ran squatted down, observed the incision and found that it was useful, and began to repeat the action. Time passed, and Yao Ran's tired steamed bun sweat sat on the ground next to him to rest. I saw a slender figure walking in the distance. Don't guess that it's Xiaoyu picking wild fruits back. Carrying the animal skin bag made by Yao Ran in his hand, it was bulging inside, and it seemed that he had gained a lot. Yao Ran stood up, and the sound of a gust of wind blowing through the bamboo and the overwhelmed weight sounded, and a rattling sound came from the broken place. Yao Ran hurriedly stood in the opposite direction of the incline. The little excitement in my heart turned into a smile on my face. The sense of achievement is instantaneous. The fracture of the bamboo is also connected to the bamboo thread that has not been broken. Xiaoyu ran over to look at the results of her man's husband, and a look of admiration flowed out of her eyes.

Yao Ran asked Xiaoyu for a few ropes and tied them to a piece of bamboo near the break. He carried one end of the rope to his shoulder and shouted, "Go home!"

It took almost a day to cut down a bamboo, and this kind of progress was definitely not what Yao Ran wanted. After several twists and turns, Yao Ran and the others moved the bamboo back to their home and smashed off the excess branches. A bare bamboo pole was placed horizontally on Yao Ran's own flat ground, and after eating some grilled fish and drinking fish soup, Yao Ran ran down the mountain again, came to the river, and chose some pebbles the size of a human face, with a flat and flat surface. Packed into a homemade backpack. He chose a stone that was heavy and round enough to be the size of a washbasin. Holding it in his arms with difficulty, he staggered towards Gaoshan Village. Xiaoyu is feeding the rabbits at home and descaling the big white fish according to Yao Ran's request. Little Gray Gray can only be responsible for Yao Ran's diet, so Little Gray is chained to a right angle of hunger in the cave. After Yao Ran came back, he first fed Xiao Ash and ate some fish soup with fish foam. I came back and ate something with Xiaoyu, the sun was about to set.

There was a bustling sound of footsteps at the bottom of the mountain, and Yao Ran knew that it was Hemu and they were back. A group of men, each carrying something in their hands, seems to have gained a lot this time. This time, Kawaki did not come up alone, but walked up with a man named Stone. Stone is the fastest hunter in the village. Every hunt is the first time he chases the prey, and in the end, it is he and Kawaki who give the prey a fatal blow.

Hemu, with the stone, the two of them came to Yao Ran with today's prey. The stone stared at the stove with his eyes hooked, doubting and questioning. I don't know if it's as magical as the village chief said. You can make a hot and delicious fish soup.

Looking at the stone's eyes, Yao Ran understood that Hemu told the stone or everyone that he drank magical fish soup yesterday. Today, after listening to Kawaki's words, the stone with a heavy heart for curiosity came back at night and came back decisively to see what was going on.

Yao Ran entertained the two of them to make it, and when he burned the pottery pot for the village chief last night, he burned a few pottery bowls at the same time, and the bowl mouth was enough to be absolutely affordable with the size of a human face. Yao Ran asked Xiaoyu to take two bowls of soup for the two of them, and then used the extended version of bamboo chopsticks to clip two pieces of fish meat and put them in the bowls. Carefully carried it all the way to the two of them.

The two of them looked at the strange clothes that Xiaoyu was wearing, stared at them for a long time, and always had an indescribable feeling. In short, it was very strange that his wife was looked at by two primitive people, Yao Ran was a little displeased, but he thought of the primitive aesthetic standard of being strong and beautiful, and calmed down his mentality. began to look at the prey that the two had brought back.

One foot is more than a meter long, and the legs are thick and thin. It's a bit like a ham that travels through the former world. Seeing Yao Ran staring at the beast's legs, Hemu patted the beast's legs, "Today's harvest will be given to you half as agreed." The bloody beast's legs were given to Yao Ran, "Half of me has already let Dashan take home." He pointed to the beast's leg again

"This is a cow" After speaking, he drew the pattern that Yao Ran drew for him in the morning on the ground, with a pair of horns on his head, a big belly and four legs.

"The cows are strong, a lot, and the calves can't hold them." Yao Ran knew that cattle were also social animals, and whether prehistoric cattle were omnivorous or herbivorous animals, Yao Ran didn't know. But there is still a lot of interest in domesticating calves, because before the Industrial Revolution, cattle had been an important labor force in people's lives, and an important source of meat and leather, and cattle were also a symbol of wealth and power. It is not difficult to see the importance of cattle in the words who have a few cows and two tigers.

"Where did you find these cows?" Yao Ran asked eagerly. At the same time, he thought in his heart that if it was not very far, Yao Ran would not mind going out in person, making traps and digging pits to catch cattle.

"It's not far upstream of the Snow Mountain River, I haven't seen it before!" Stone interjected, "Suck it, ha~!" This is delicious! A look of surprise hung all over his face. Hemu is proud, you see I didn't lie to you.

"Okay, I'll go with you tomorrow." Yao Ran thought that these people didn't have anything at night, why don't they mobilize to help me make tools, I will separate the process, and everyone can complete a step independently, and then do the final assembly work by themselves.

"I have one more thing, people who don't have anything to do tonight can come to my house to help me do some work, people who come to work can drink fish soup, and they can take two fish after finishing their work."

After listening to Yao Ran's words, Hemu and Shi froze for a moment. Then after thinking about it, he felt that it was very cost-effective, and Shi said at that time that he was willing to stay and help Yao Ran work, but he could not come until he went home.

Yao Ran began to sort out the materials for preparing the tools, a deer's leg bone, 10 flat stones the size of a human face, a stone the size of a basin, and a pile of bark brought back from picking wild fruits in the light rain yesterday.

Yao Ran took out the pot that was originally filled with boiling water, replaced the fish soup in the pot with Xiaoyu, and cooked another pot of fish soup. Feeding the little gray ash to the innermost part of the cave, Yao Ran had heard that the puppy saw too many people when he was young, and he wouldn't listen to his master very much. So even the feeding is done by yourself. Xiaoyu only occasionally goes to get it.

didn't make Yao Ran wait for a long time, a meal. After the shouting of the big-mouthed Hemu, thirteen men, women, and children came, and Yao Ran happily received them and assigned work to each of them. For example, draw two circles on flat pebbles with charred bamboo poles and ask them to make holes with sharp stones. Have a few people rub the rope and so on. The largest stone the size of a basin was assigned, and the stone Yao Ran asked him to make a hole the size of an egg. After arranging the work, he asked Xiaoyu to entertain everyone to drink fish soup. And told Xiaoyu not to let them get close to the cave and so on. He took the fishing net and walked towards the river. It was already half dark, and only there was some light in the west, so that the whole land would not be darkened. The brilliant starry sky and the moon have gradually revealed.

Yao Ran seized the time to get off the net and cast the bait. After a few days of lengthening and enhancement, Fishnet 2.0 has been officially upgraded. Bigger and longer, Yao Ran ran to the shore and already heard the churning sound of fish fighting for food. Pulling a few ropes and running back desperately, and the feet of the big fat fish in the water. It took two minutes to bring a net of fish ashore. Dozens of fish churned in the nets. It was getting dark, and Yao Ran didn't even have time to wear a rope and lift the fish at night in the primitive society, so he walked back step by step with the net.

Finally, there was no accident, and he returned home safely, and when he opened the fishing net, he saw that there were more than 30 fish. Everyone looked at Yao Ran and the fish he caught in a daze, mainly to see the fish, he only went out for a while, how could he catch so many fish. It's all alive. A dozen people may not be able to catch so many fish in an afternoon. Neither of them could finish their hands.

Although he saw everyone's puzzlement, the fat man Yao Ran, who was tired enough to choke, didn't want to explain anything to everyone. Xiaoyu was proudly holding a clay bowl with a wooden handle, and followed Yao Ran's example and tossed fish soup by the stove.

On the willow tops of the moon, most of the stone chips in everyone's hands have already made holes. Yao Ran walked around, and everyone took a look, but the big stone in front of the stone only hit a small pit of about three centimeters. But such a situation has already made Yao Ran very satisfied. Yao Ran clapped his hands and said, "That's all for today!" Everyone goes to the front and grabs two fish, and they can go home! There will be work during the day tomorrow, and if you have time, you can come to Xiaoyu to get a job, and I will still give you fish as a reward. ”

Thus came into being the surplus value of the exploitation of the working people. Although there is no cycle, Yao Ran tasted the sweetness of it, and thought that a lot of work in the future can be done by hiring helpers, and not everything has to be done by himself. Otherwise own big villa pool. I don't know when it will be built, and I may not be able to finish it by myself. Thinking that he would be able to see the cattle of the primitive society tomorrow, Yao Ran looked determined to win, and was even more deeply attracted to his long-legged wife. Confident men are attractive enough.
