Chapter Ninety-Eight: Someday Independence
Chen Chao, who had finished breakfast in the corner, returned to the house first, and not long after, the people who were still staying in the tribe rushed in, ready to start today's study.
And those little children who thought they could put on another day today followed behind the adults with their heads down, honestly walked into the 'classroom', and sat honestly on the kang.
Chen Chao checked the content taught by the little old man yesterday, and after making sure that there was no big problem, he began to teach today's language course.
After finishing the language knowledge to be taught today, Chen Chao took the moa egg killer Yi and his team to find wood suitable for beaming the house.
This one has to be found on the spot, because the wood in the tribe is cut into small pieces. However, it is necessary to find a room with a girder (i.e., a beam, which is the main piece of wood that is placed on a wooden column to form the ridge of the roof. As well as the horizontal and longitudinal needs of wood on both sides, including suitable columns, you also need to find some.
When the sun was about to set, Chen Chao took the logging team to prepare to return to the tribe. Today's harvest was not bad, at least all the wood needed was found. If there are no accidents tomorrow, you should be able to start putting on the beam and prepare for the subsequent laying of the puckage.
The logging team was working in groups of three, carrying logs into the tribe one by one, and they saw a full hunting party. The members of the hunting team were not ambiguous, and under the leadership of Yuan, some people took the prey from their companions or on their shoulders, and began to help the logging team start to lift the wood.
With the help of the hunting team, the wood collected today was quickly moved back.
The mouth of the tribe's cave is no longer what it looks like, like patches on torn clothes, east and west. Now there was another pile of wood to put in, and the hunting party had brought back dozens of lynxes.
Chen Chao counted carefully, yo, there are about 35 of them, at least six litters of lynx have been eliminated.
It seems that without their own golden finger assistance, they still have a way to find the lynx's nest~
After returning to the tribe, Chen Chao checked the progress of the work of the wind unicycle manufacturing department, which was not bad, a complete wind unicycle was built in half a day today, and the half that was not finished yesterday was completed.
Coupled with the first batch that Chen Chao led them, there are now a total of three wheelbarrows in the tribe.
At the current pace of work, by the time they set off, the tribe should have fifteen wind-powered wheelbarrows.
This is not counting the fact that they will be faster in the later stage because they are proficient, and maybe it will not be a problem to even have more than 20 cars in the future.
At that time, the construction team stationed at the bottom of the mountain can be divided into ten vehicles, and the tribe will keep two or three for backup, and take seven for themselves.
However, there will be a problem when the progress goes up, that is, there is not enough wood for car building in the tribe.
The problem is not very big, wait for the hunting team led by Yuan to catch the group of lynx in the mountains, and then let the hunting team transfer to a logging team for a few days, and collect more wood at one time.
Now the amount of wood used in the tribe is too large, and the bricks and tiles will be burned immediately at the foot of the mountain, and the batch of clay pots and bowls that One-eye and others made last time will also be burned in two days.
There are four kilns together, and the amount of wood needed is really not a small amount.
Moreover, the main purpose of this batch of clay pots and bowls is to exchange them for population, so the priority is also very high, and there can be no delay.
The freshly chopped wood can't be used for fire immediately after getting it back, it's too damp. Not to mention that it had snowed only a few days ago, and it hadn't been a few days yet.
The wood that has just been cut is still wet on the inside, and it has to be split into small pieces and dried before it can be used.
So after that, when I started to burn clay pots and everything, I had to use the inventory of the firewood volcano in the tribe.
However, you can leave some of the wet wood outside, and when the little old man's logistics department is cooking on the fire, the bonfire will burn to the fullest, and put the freshly chopped wood on it.
At this time, wood that is a little wet is not afraid, but it is easier to burn, so it is not necessarily impossible to use.
It's just that the firewood and other fuels used by the logistics department every day are simply drizzle and rain compared to the pottery department burning pottery or burning bricks and tiles once compared to the pottery department. The Tian Yuan tribe replenished the Chai volcano several times, mainly because there was too much fuel needed to open the kiln.
Chen Chao saw that the sky was not yet dark, so he went into the 'classroom' to check the homework of the full-time class, because the day before yesterday only taught the little old man a language course in advance, so naturally there was no text homework yesterday.
I didn't teach much today, and I couldn't absorb this group of little kids if I taught too much.
However, I have to think about how to arrange the courses in the tribe after I set off, and the teaching task at that time is estimated to be mainly on Yuan's shoulders.
Although Yuan's learning progress is not as good as that of the little old man, it may only be as good as Huang Yan, Xiao Shi, and Ji, but he is the leader himself, and he can overwhelm people in terms of momentum.
Even if he didn't learn as well as the little old man and the others, there was nothing wrong with teaching the rest of the tribe.
At that time, Chen Chao's text will not teach new things. Because when I used to teach languages, the lesson plans were written on the yellow clay wall with charcoal. When the time comes, I take the adults and children in the full-time class to read it several times a day and write it down as much as possible.
The little kids probably can't count on it, and they can only rely on the leader Yuan. After Chen Chao set off, Yuan pointed to the words on the wall to teach the children to write.
However, it is estimated that the effect will be much worse, because the day after tomorrow is estimated to run at both ends, stay in the tribe for two days, supervise at the foot of the mountain for two days, and have to take the hunting team into the mountains to hunt if there is nothing to do, or take the logging team to cut wood.
In general, it was the logistics part that was handed over to the little old man in charge, and now it was all in his hands. Not only that, but he also had to continue to maintain what he was supposed to do as a leader, and even Chen Chao's part of the supervision responsibility of checking and filling in the gaps, he had to take on it.
Not only these complicated and trivial big and small things, but even the language learning of the tribesmen and the learning tasks of the little children were also handed over to him.
It's a great responsibility.
What Yuan has to do since he learned about himself, in addition to regretting it but ineffective, is that it feels like it's just a cold skull, and when he reaches out and touches it, it's a small handful of hair...
After checking today's homework, Chen Chao asked the little children to rub the straw rope, and he couldn't waste a little available labor~~
What's more, these little kids sat in the 'classroom' all day, and although they were studying, they really had a day off compared to the adults who did hard work.
So don't hurry up and rub the straw rope after class! What are you doing idle~~
Waiting to be scolded! ο½ο½
While the pottery department had not yet returned, the little old man led the logistics department to start using his new toolsβββ small stove~~
Cooked~~~
Since the women of the gathering team had recently been assigned to the pottery department, the men of the hunting team had to deal with the lynx themselves.
But fortunately, they have always been involved in the handling of prey before, and although they are not as fast as the women, they are not much slower. And today there are only thirty-five lynx skins, and the workload of each person is less than two.
However, due to the lack of sun in winter, it seems that the preliminary preparation for the nitrate of the skin can only be dried in the shade, and then carefully roasted with fire.
It was getting dark, and just as everyone was anxiously looking into the distance, One-Eyed lived up to expectations and appeared in front of everyone with a torch and a pottery department.
Seeing that One-Eye had brought back the pottery department intact, Chen Chao breathed a sigh of relief. After all, this is the first time that One-Eyed has acted alone with the Pottery Department, and although everyone is now considered 'well-armed', the foot of the mountain is still a strange and dangerous place after all.
No matter what, Chen Chao couldn't completely put his heart down. But if you don't worry, what can you do, no matter what, let the team leaders of these departments mature as soon as possible.
I don't have such a pair of eyes, I can always stare at everyone and let them do everything perfectly. This is basically impossible, and now it can barely be taken care of for the time being, and then the tribe becomes bigger?
What about becoming a tribe of 10,000 people? Has it become a country?
