Chapter 4 This Winter Is Not Too Cold
Of course, heating is extremely important on days when there is no heating.
Wang Yang has already begun to prepare the props for the fire.
He picked up a branch three centimeters thick, and near the mouth of the valley, he asked the adults to cut down a small tree with a stone axe, and then took a small section of the small tree, removed the bark, and put it in the sun with the branches.
At the same time, some twigs were picked, and hay and thorns were used to make the fire, and they were all taken to dry.
It's just such a simple process, it took half a month, there is no way, the labor force is low, and the adults all have to go out to find food for storage, otherwise they won't survive the winter.
Only Wang Yang's mother stayed behind to help him cut down a tree, and after that, she also went to look for food.
In the cave during the day, there were only Wang Yang and a group of stunned children.
They actually wanted to play with Wang Yang, but every time Wang Yang glared at them angrily, once a hairy child deliberately teased Wang Yang, but Wang Yang became angry and beat him hard.
Since then, Wang Yang's obscenity has shrouded their hearts.
Now Wang Yang is a busy man, training himself, and thinking about how to get through the predicament, the emperor is beyond the reach of all opportunities.
No, a fire-making tool can make his head big.
Drilling wood for fire, this is the most primitive method, Wang Yang has a lot of ways to improve, but he has no choice but to have no tools at hand, so he has to make do with it.
On that small section of the stump, Wang Yang drew a circle with a diameter of three centimeters with stones, and it was difficult for him to draw a circle if it was not round, just put the branch on it and wipe it along the circle.
Then he dug in the circle without sleep and food, and the adults expressed their dissatisfaction with this "woo" and wanted Wang Yang, a laborer, to go fishing.
Wang Yang couldn't explain, so he simply let them express their dissatisfaction and dig hard.
A few days later, a small, rough circular hole appeared.
Of course, a fire opening was also needed, so he took a stone axe and carved a large hole in the stake.
Finally, he rounded the rough parts of the branches to ensure that they could sink deeper.
After doing this, on this night, Wang Yang started the first fire.
He put a small handful of hay at the ignition and inserted a branch into the stake, telling his parents to hold the stake and turn it quickly.
The people in the tribe didn't know what Wang Yang was going to do, and even his parents didn't know what their demonic son wanted to do.
It wasn't until two minutes later that they smelled burning, and a little spark flashed at the french.
The hay meets the sparks, and the light rises in the darkness.
The hay was lit, Wang Yang grabbed it in his hand excitedly, and laughed.
Everyone watched this scene in shock, and was so frightened that they took several steps back, and the adults opened their hands and quickly retreated to protect the children.
"Fire! Ha ha! Fire! ”
Wang Yang's mood can be imagined, he took a small piece of burning branches, and ran to the adults excitedly.
But when the adults saw him coming, they were so anxious that they retreated again and again, and their eyes were full of horror.
Wang Yang quickly stopped, he was puzzled by the reaction of the adults, and then realized that most animals have an instinctive fear of fire, because fire burns them.
The same is true of the early ape-men, who were so afraid of the wonders of nature before they mastered the fire that they did not dare to go out even if there was a thunderbolt or a lightning bolt.
Because they don't know what these things are.
Wang Yang did not ask them to immediately accept the concept of using fire, so he ignored them.
He ran to the side, picked up the dried firewood, and lit a small fire, the warmth of the flame seemed to warm his heart, making him feel safe.
It didn't take long for everyone to feel the warmth coming from the flames and slowly approached.
After a while, they were still afraid, but they all gathered around the small fire, and their eyes were full of shock.
"Woo!"
"Whew!"
A few days later, they were already able to accept the existence of flames, watching Wang Yang make fires again and again, and also understood how to make fires, but they still didn't dare to do it themselves, and they had to whine Wang Yang every time.
From then on, on the way to find food, the people had an additional task, picking up branches and wood from the ground, bringing them back to the cave to dry, and storing them with food.
In this era, the storage of food is more troublesome, and without a refrigerator, it is impossible to keep food longer, so food with shells will be kept, such as chestnuts.
Fruits and the like are eaten first.
……
Winter is coming, thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of snow drifting, the sky and the earth are full of snow, at this time, if you want to eat a bite of fresh meat, but it is not so easy.
Squirrels accumulate pine nuts for the winter, other mammals hibernate as well, creeks are frozen, everything is depressed, and the market economy is in decline.
In the face of a serious decline in the stock market, even if Wang Yang has thousands of magical powers and all kinds of creation, he can only cry out in vain.
However, this winter was not too cold for Wang Yang and the people in the tribe.
Looking at the outside world at the entrance of the cave, goose feathers and snow are flying like petals, covering the whole world in a layer of silver.
The cold north wind swept across the earth, causing the trees to tremble, and countless animals hid in their nests, not daring to come out.
A few snowflakes fell on Wang Yang's neck, Wang Yang shrunk his neck, turned around, and walked towards the cave.
In the dimly lit cave, the flames radiated warmth and light, and everyone sat around, snuggling up to each other, eating hot roasted fruit, and smiling faces.
So far this winter, no one has caught a cold, let alone a fever, which is a very good momentum.
Of course, it was entirely thanks to the mastery of fire that allowed them to keep warm.
However, Wang Yang did not let them burn the fire 24 hours a day, only in the cold night, in the morning.
The consumption of firewood also gradually increased, and everyone would occasionally go to pick up branches and come back, and even cut firewood at the mouth of the valley, as long as they could not get sick or die, they were not afraid of freezing for a little time.
And with the fire, everyone fell in love with the taste of barbecue, that crispy taste, which added a lot of color to their monotonous life.
At this point, each person takes a piece of meat, skewers it on a bone spur, and puts it on a fire to grill.
The oil flower "popped", the fragrance wafted through the cave, and everyone endured the urge to eat immediately, swallowing saliva with difficulty.
Finally, one person's meat was roasted, he didn't eat it himself, but looked around, locked on Wang Yang, and ran over to give it to Wang Yang.
Wang Yang took it with a smile, not polite, took a bite, chewed slowly, and enjoyed it very much.
In my previous life, I heard experts say that the food grilled by fire will produce changes in more than 200 trace elements, which will be of great help to evolution.
It's a pity that Wang Yang's lifetime is not enough to see them evolve.
How did everyone know Wang Yang's sigh, and when they saw him eat it, they started eating.
This is their way of expressing their love for someone, but Wang Yang smells a little different, privilege.
First the method of fishing, and then the control of the use of fire, his peculiar performance makes the living conditions of all people no longer so bad, and naturally produces love.
And to love a person is the germ of the emergence of tribal organizations.
"Am I going to let the tribal model emerge a million years in advance?"
At night, the wind and snow are still outside, and the cave is quiet and peaceful.
The fire was burning all the time, and all the people were gathered together and lay on the ground.
Wang Yang and his parents were squeezed in the warmest middle by everyone, and their parents held him tightly in their arms, the physical heat and spiritual care were so warm.
Wang Yang opened his eyes, looked at the shadow of the flame shining on the wall, felt the subtle care and love of everyone, and laughed as he ate.
They are so easily satisfied, a fire, a few fish, and excited.
At this moment, he decides that he wants to give them a better future, even if not for himself.
Now that he's here, he's going to change the world.
With a sweet smile and a vision for a better future, Wang Yang fell asleep. (Ask for collections, ask for recommendation votes!) )
