After dinner, Chen Chao lay on the fire pit in a daze, and the witch next to him hadn't slept yet, turning over vigorously.

His mind was full of Chen Chao's words today, and he thought for a while that in the future, when the Tianyuan tribe was so big, would he be able to manage it, and how could he manage so many people?

Will there be enough food to eat, this small river is too small, I'm afraid there will really be not enough to eat by then.

Where do you remember where so many people live?

Now this cave is also for air-dried meat, firewood for burning in winter, chestnut mountain and grass mountain, and it is a little crowded with people.

When the tribe grows bigger, where will those people live? And where are they going to put what they eat?

The little old man remembered that Chen Chao said that the current place is too small, and the new place of residence must have a place where people in the tribe can build houses, and there must be high walls, so that no wild beasts can attack us again.

That's right! Isn't that too small? Oops, I didn't think of that!

The Tian Yuan tribe can now make this new stone basin, and when the time comes, it can be used by other tribes to replace people! Even the rattan basket made by the collection team can be exchanged for population!

And straw sandals!

Maybe rattan baskets and straw sandals are not as valuable as stone pots, but your own tribe can get them quickly! And these materials are everywhere, so isn't it that every time a population is exchanged, they are all picked up by the Tianyuan tribe for nothing?

Well... 5 rattan baskets can be exchanged for an adult woman, and 3 pairs of straw sandals can also be exchanged for one. Adult men may not be easy to change, but they should be able to exchange for a stone basin, if it is really not easy to change, they can also reduce the price, anyway, it is very easy for their tribe to engage in this thing...

When the time comes, a stone basin will be exchanged for a man and an underage woman, and those tribes who have not seen these new stone basins will definitely rush to change.

You must know that the stone basin that was polished in the past is really difficult to polish, and a generation may not be able to polish one, and basically few tribes will choose to exchange their stone basins, one is that it is not easy to polish, but it is too expensive. As far as he knew, one tribe had traded three men and six little girls for a stone basin.

At the price of their own tribe's stone basin, those people will not be able to rob them crazy at that time!

Moreover, compared with those stone pots, the pottery pots of their own tribe are not only lighter, but they can also be roasted on the fire, which are the advantages that the old stone pots do not have...

What's more... There is also a big killer in his own tribe...

That's the salty stone...

But this thing can't be taken out too early, and it can't be taken out too much at once... What if someone else is red-eyed...

At least your own tribe is going to become a big tribe... The little old man gradually fell asleep in his own imagination...

Chen Chao hadn't slept yet, he remembered the tree tribe 100 kilometers away from the Tianyuan tribe, it was winter, and he didn't know what happened to that tree tribe...

He closed his eyes slightly, consciously trying to connect with the electronic sound.

After getting a response, Chen Chao whispered, "I want to see the Tree Tribe." ”

"Valid directive." A familiar and intimate electronic sound sounded in his consciousness.

The dense forest with many bamboo houses appeared in Chen Chao's grave again, and in addition to the moonlight, he could occasionally hear a few whispers.

I went to check their inventory for the winter, and there was obviously a lot more meat than before, and even the hides were much more.

The paddy is okay and has increased, but it is only in a normal situation. And thanks to the increase in hides, many of the hides loaded with rice have apparently been phased out recently. It was in a half-old state, without the obvious holes that it had before.

In addition, there are many more green fruits, but due to the lack of storage resistance, many of the fruits have obvious mold spots.

Chen Chao went to look at the fruit forest again, unfortunately, many of them had fallen in place and began to rot, it seemed that the tree tribe could not rely on this fruit forest in winter.

Turning his gaze to the Tree Tribe again, in the largest bamboo house in the woods, the leaders of the Tree Tribe, Shu and Wu, were lying in a hide shivering, and from time to time shivering in a vernacular that Chen Chao couldn't understand.

After a conversation between the two, they reached out and picked up a fruit that had grown mildew from the side and put it in their mouths, and spit it out the bitter parts when they bit them, and ate them normally in other places.

Because there is no light, the trees and witches can't see clearly what is bad and what is good.

Although he had sweet and sour fruit to fill his stomach, he still felt hungry, hungry and cold.

Although they were so hungry that they were scratching their livers, they were trying to close their eyes and want to fall asleep, and when they waited for noon tomorrow, they would be able to eat delicious bamboo rice.

Although the Tree Tribe had Professor Chen Chao's bamboo raft to pick fruits and sharper spear weapons, because it was late autumn at that time, even with the overtime efforts of the entire tribe, they could barely save enough food for the winter.

And because the fruit is not easy to preserve, it will spoil after picking it for a while. So the tree tribe has been trying to eat fruit lately, except for the bamboo tube meal at noon. The rest of the time I worked hard to satisfy my hunger with fruit, first, the meat was very precious and unbearable to eat, and second, I was reluctant to spoil the fruit that I had worked so hard to collect.

So even the chieftains of the tribes and witches used as much fruit as they could when they were hungry.

Taking advantage of the fact that the two of them were not sleeping, Chen Chao went to look at the resources near the Tree Tribe. In fact, the resources of the tree tribe are very rich, and there are many birds and beasts and few people on the side of the tree tribe.

The reason why they built bamboo huts on trees was also to prevent attacks by birds and animals.

It can be seen that there are actually many animals in this vicinity, but the people of the tree tribe are not good at catching them, so they finally end up relying on cold wild fruits to satisfy their hunger in the winter.

And there is a large bamboo forest near them, in addition to bamboo, bamboo shoots and other things, the most bamboo in the bamboo forest is bamboo rats!

Besides, aren't there still winter bamboo shoots in winter? That's a genuine seasonal delicacy, Chen Chao thought of fried winter bamboo shoots with salted meat, braised winter bamboo shoots in oil, braised pig's trotters with winter bamboo shoots and other winter bamboo shoots, and felt that his saliva was going to flow down.

When eating bamboo shoots, it is best to blanch them in boiling water for 5~10 minutes, and then stir-fry them with other foods. Blanching bamboo shoots in water can reduce their astringency and make the taste more delicious.

However, the tree tribe does not have a clay pot as a tool, which allows them to put some winter bamboo shoots in it when cooking bamboo tube rice, which may not taste as delicious as the fried ones, but it should not be bad.

Although the tree tribe has lived here for a long time, it is not surprising that they don't know if bamboo shoots can be eaten, after all, whether every kind of food can be eaten now, it has to be exchanged for life.

Moreover, the main focus of the tree tribe on the bamboo forest is to 'use', not to eat. In their eyes, old bamboo and big bamboo can make bamboo tube rice, and the grown bamboo can be used to build a herringbone bamboo house, and now they can also make bamboo rafts.

Therefore, when they see small bamboo, they generally do not think about whether they can eat it, but choose to let the small bamboo grow into a large bamboo, so that they can have a steady stream of bamboo to use.

In addition to bamboo, there are also many bamboo rats in the bamboo forest. (Wild bamboo rats may carry viruses, and please don't try to catch and eat them at will.) ）

Bamboo rats get their name from eating bamboo, so bamboo is the best food for breeding bamboo rats. It likes to inhabit bamboo forests, masson pine forests and grass on the sunny slopes of mountains, live under camps, and live in caves. It is more frequent at night, eats less and sleeps more during the day, and eats vigorously at night.

A bamboo rat is the size of a hare, and in the case of the tree tribe having staple food, a bamboo rat can feed at least one adult, especially in the case of not much exercise in winter.

In addition to the delicious meat, the bamboo rat fur is also a good material for making animal skin clothes, the bamboo rat fur is fine and soft, the plush is abundant, the color is smooth, the plate quality is good, it is the raw material of the fur.

It doesn't look very big, but it's easy to catch. And as long as you grab enough, you can easily scrape together enough materials for a fur garment.

Moreover, the bamboo rats here have always lived freely, and now they have not tasted the experience of being caught on a large scale by bipeds, except for the occasional need to guard against natural predators such as cats, foxes, and snakes.

So it can be referred to as not really being beaten by life, and I don't know what it's like to be wiped out one litter after another.

Chen Chao withdrew his gaze from the bamboo forest, and then looked at the bamboo house of the leader of the Tree Tribe, Shu Hewu.

In addition to the sound of some sparse leaves shaking, two words that Chen Chao could understand could be heard repeating all the time in the bamboo house.

I only heard the tree and the witch muttering to themselves, "The bamboo raft... Raft... Bamboo raft..."
