Chapter 184: Food Problems

Tribes already have a well-established process for receiving new populations. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info Even if Wang Chuan is not there, there should be no problems.

Counting, registering, cleaning, first a meal of discipline and appeasement, and then a full meal to reassure these people, these slaves basically will not be in the mood to make trouble. If there is, then cut off a few more heads, and the rest will be at ease.

Today, there are more slaves, and the spirit cares about playing sailing in the river, and Wang Chuan is the only one in the tribe who is more fully literate. So Wang Chuan sat down in front of these slaves and registered. By the way, I read the whole process of receiving.

After they had washed the ashes up and down, and cut off the long hair of many people who were full of lice, the bark stood in front of them and gave a lecture enthusiastically. There are only two meanings, do it well, and then we have meat to eat. If you don't do it well, you'll be thrown back to your opponent or clicked. When the people of the Fish-Man clan who had joined the tribe were finally asked to bring the meat, many of these slaves were in tears.

Wang Chuan has always felt that it is necessary to have a clear division of labor, so he just registers and watches in the process, and does not say much about other things.

In order to win the hearts of these new slaves, the bark gave this meal extraordinarily richly. There are many people in the tribe now, and Wang Chuan got a steamer to come out. Most of the food is now steamed. After the meat is steamed, it is rich in juice and plenty of oil, and the meat is smeared with salt to make it even more delicious. This made these slaves hungry.

Seeing that these slaves ate more than ordinary people twice, Wang Chuan asked, "How about our meat reserves now?" ”

This question went out, and there was no sound in all directions, Wang Chuan turned his head to take a look, and found that there were big men all around. Everyone has an expression that I don't care about it, I don't know. Wang Chuan thought of the spirit who had been playing in the river for the past few days, and there was a faint feeling in his heart.

The process of entering and exiting the tribal meat is roughly as follows: the hunting party brings back the meat and hands it over to the warehouse, which sends part of it to the kitchen for steaming, and part of it is processed and dried for storage. When the hunting team had a poor harvest, they took out the stored ones and steamed them in the kitchen. Ling stared at the incoming and outgoing accounts every day, and reported anything wrong to his mother, who then made adjustments to the work of the personnel.

For some time now, there have been basically no problems with this program. But the mother didn't bother much about these things after Wang Chuan came back. Ling has been playing too crazy on the river these days. Wang Chuan also took care of shipbuilding. The worst thing is that the number of people suddenly increased by more than fifty.

Wang Chuan rushed to the warehouse with several leaders to take a look. Immediately, my heart was half cold.

There are a lot of materials in the warehouse. Mountains of animal skins that had been disposed of and those that had been recovered from everyone's hands and were not worn. Freshly fired pottery is layered on top of each other. The salt produced was placed on a wall of clay pots. Half of the room was filled with charcoal for the kitchen...... But for meat, all that was left was a pitiful row hanging from the rafters, and a small pile of stems piled up in a corner. That's all, it's estimated that it's not enough to eat two meals.

"There's no meat else to eat besides that?" Wang Chuan held the expectation of what happened, and asked the sister-in-law who managed the warehouse.

Sister-in-law Lian was very conscientious in kneading the animal skin, wiping her sweat and saying, "It's gone." Today, the tree leader made a lot of boils. That's all there is to it. Tomorrow we will have to get a little more from the hunting party, or we won't have enough to eat. ”

Wang Chuan casually praised his sister-in-law's work a few words, and walked out with a few people in a heavy mood.

The biggest problem in the era of fishing and hunting is that the availability of food is contingent. No one knows if they will be able to get enough food tomorrow. Once the food reserves are reduced to the point where they cannot be consumed for a certain period of time, the problem has become serious. A day's food reserve cannot be considered a cycle in any way.

The captain of the hunting team rode the deer with a face full of self-blame: "In the past two days, no one has told us to get more food, and I am afraid that the tiger will drive people over, so I haven't gone far in the past two days, and we have been around the neighborhood." Less meat. ”

Qiao and Potato Blossom, who learned the news, also rushed over, they were still from the hunting team, but now they have been demoted to squad leaders. They are mainly responsible for gathering or helping with hunting. But these days, they didn't go out, but listened to Wang Chuan's instructions and planted jute. The jute, which used to be less than an acre, has now expanded to about 20 acres, but it is difficult for these women who can only dig but not plant. They were kept busy for 10 days.

When the spirit heard the news, he hurried back from the river and craned his neck like a quail. Usually she does these things just to look at and say a few words. I didn't pay much attention to it. Who knew that without this work of looking at and saying two words, such a problem would have arisen?

Now is not the time to hold accountable, and people are suggesting ways to find food.

The deer rode and said, "Let's go out tomorrow and go farther and play the drums with the mountain gods." If you do it well, you will have enough to eat for a few days...... Even the mountains and forests around here have been used. Tomorrow, I am afraid that I will go west, to the original place of the Lan tribe, and it will take four to five days to go back and forth. ”

Qiao said: "Then we women won't follow tomorrow." We're collecting some stems nearby. It should be able to get through. ”

"Speaking of stems, the potatoes we grow are already the size of a small fist. Why don't we dig a little first...... It's really not good, the potato vine can also be eaten, we have eaten this in the past. ”

Zhuang Niu said: "Why don't we slaughter the cattle and sheep?" ”

"If there is not enough to eat, we will lock up the slaves first, and we will not give them food." Anyway, it's not like I haven't done it before. ”

Wang Chuan turned his gaze around and fell on Bihu, who didn't speak: "Bihu, what do you think?" ”

Bihu looked at it with a mindless attitude in front of Wang Chuan, but when asked, he still said: "It's better to start from the river in the near future." ”

Wang Chuan said: "Synthesizing everyone's opinions, let me tell you my opinion. After this incident, Qiao was responsible for managing the kitchen and warehouse, and did not have to worry about other things, and Ling assisted in accounting and management. Potato flowers were responsible for agriculture and gathering, and in the future, women were not involved in hunting as much as possible. Especially the kind that goes far away, try to arrange for men to go. But that's for later. Tomorrow, I will take someone out to collect for a day, and the man will go down to the river to fish, so don't go far to the mountain god to play the drum. Dig the potatoes as you wish, but only eat the young leaves, and keep the stems first. If we can go back, we will plant it back. Tomorrow Bihu Zhuang Niu will go upstream with me, and the day after tomorrow everyone will go down to the river to pick up fish. ”

Bark said, "What about me?" ”

Wang Chuan hated to kick him: "Go back and sleep with your people, you just told them that you have meat to eat with you, and now you say that you are hungry first, do you have any brains?" ”

He rebelled at the beginning of accepting these slaves, and he will still be able to accept these people in the future?

It is normal for the bark to be trained, and everyone is not surprised, but they are wondering another question: "Picking up fish?" What fish to pick? ”

Wang Chuan said with a smile: "These days, everyone has said that I am a divine dragon. Since I have been ignited by the dragon, the dragon is in charge of the fish and shrimp in the world. I'll ask Shenlong for some fish and shrimp to fill everyone's stomach, and it's no problem. Everyone prepare the tools, and the day after tomorrow will be fine. ”

Everyone listened strangely, but thinking of Wang Chuan's various miracles, they still didn't ask anything. Only Bihu thought of something in the fishy department, and there was some faint speculation in his heart. (To be continued.) )
