Chapter 133 Building a House
Early one morning, the sun's rays had just woken up, and Zheng Qian felt a sense of closeness when he looked at the sun, after all, this was the same sun as he saw in the future 21st century. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
A group of male primitives were called by Zheng Qian early in the morning, and after yesterday's incident, everyone was already very convinced of Zheng Qian. Zheng Qian felt that if he came to the primitive world with his own bugs, he could not convince these primitive people with obviously less brain capacity, then he could die. Zheng Qian called these primitive people for one reason, that is, to teach them to build houses, and of course, by the way, to ask these people to help carry a piece of wood or something, there are many people and great power.
These men have a question, why Zheng Qian is only called a man, not a woman, if it is the 21st century, it is estimated that they all think that Zheng Qian wants to make a soap party. Obviously, they did not have the idea of male ploughing and female weaving in their hearts, and both men and women had to hunt and do the same work.
It's just that the division of labor is different at the special moment......
"I called everyone here to teach them and build a house!"
"What is a house?"
Zheng Qian was speechless, damn primitive society, there is no such thing as a house in this era, and they naturally don't know what a house is. Suppressing the speechlessness and helplessness in his heart, Zheng Qian said: "The house is where we live, with a house, we don't have to squeeze in the hole, and we don't have to die slowly and helplessly in a humid and cold environment in winter!" ”
"And what do we use to make a house?"
"Wood, that's a magical thing......"
Zheng Qian asked these male primitives to pick some thigh-thick trees and cut them with stone axes. Even if there is iron ore now, but there is still a lack of coal, ordinary wood is difficult to reach the temperature of iron, and it is not used to make coke from coal, and it is basically soft iron that is made there, soft iron is relatively soft, and it is not as good as stone to make tools and weapons. These primitive people have great strength, after all, their heads are not so bright, and they belong to a species with well-developed limbs and simple minds. In less than half an hour, two or three trees were cut down.
Now the plan to make iron tools can only be temporarily put on hold, just such a few people, men, young adults, there are only seven or eight people, although men and women use the same in this era, but Zheng Qian's thinking is different, human beings want to progress, then it is necessary to change and divide labor, men go to the field to contribute, from the male character can be seen.
This society may be born unfair, day and night, everything has to be done by men.
Zheng Qian held a well-crafted stone axe in his hand, this stone axe was still a tool of the family who originally lived here, Zheng Qian used it, although it was not as sharp as the iron axe, it was not so unbearable. No house can be built like a tool, isn't the ancient world just a house first, and then bronze and iron?
Zheng Qian chopped the wood to the length of a small arm, and then asked the rest of the ancient people to chop it according to this length.
Zheng Qian didn't intend to use these cheap labor to build a house for himself, but if this demonstration house was built for ten days and eight days, these people would build it for more than half a month because they were not skilled, wouldn't it delay time, and they wouldn't be able to build a country until they died!
These primitive people gathered together, watching Zheng Qian take these cut wood operations, watching Zheng Qian cut one side of the four short wood little by little out of a small raised square, and then used a rod into the hole, the raised side was inserted into the hole of another long wood, this long wooden hole was obtained by Zheng Qian with a stone axe to chisel a sharp stone, as for the gap, it is not difficult to solve, Zheng Qian chiseled a triangular piece of wood into it, and used squeezing and friction to complete the perfect fixation.
These viewers thought it was extremely amazing, and they actually used wood to play so many tricks, and they thought that wood could only be used to burn fire and make some weapons and tools.
The technique of weaving straw rope is proficient, Zheng Qian will not be ugly, and directly use the straw rope braided by others. Using straw ropes to fix those long branches of about the same size, and laying this fairly flat bed on the skeleton, a simple bed was successfully completed in more than three hours.
The bed is square, basically two meters long and two meters wide, extremely irregular, some wood is longer and some wood is shorter, but it is also very strong, and you don't have to worry about catching a cold and getting sick when you sleep on it, the prostate, when the girl's aunt comes, she sleeps on the cold cave floor in winter, and it is strange if she is not short-lived. In the end, Zheng Qian put on a fur, and the world's first bed was made, and Zheng Qian became the scientist who invented the bed.
Finally seeing the true face of this thing, these primitive people unabashedly leaked their surprised eyes: "Oh my God! ”
"It's amazing!"
"What is this thing?"
"Everyone, be quiet, this thing is called a bed, it is something we sleep in at night, and with a bed, we will avoid living on the cold and damp ground." Looking at the enthusiastic gaze of these people, Zheng Qian couldn't hold it back, these people's eyes were like, so powerful, this person he invented the bed, so that we don't have to live on the cold ground anymore, he is simply the greatest scientist in the world, there is no one, which makes Zheng Qian a little embarrassed, it's not that I'm amazing, it's just that your material is too poor.
These primitive people looked at each other, if there was a bed, then it would be great, especially in autumn and winter, although there was some fur and hay on the ground at night, but it felt a little cool, and now they could finally sleep peacefully: "Then let's go back and make this thing called a bed in the cave!" ”
"So, it's noon, since there is a water source nearby, let's go fish with me!"
"Can you eat fish?"
"Can ......"
Zheng Qian was speechless again, these people haven't even eaten fish, but it's no wonder they, this is a primitive society tens of thousands of years ago, if in the past, human beings still didn't know how to use fire, and they ate raw meat like those animals, until a beast was cooked by lightning, and humans tasted it unusually delicious, so they began to study the use of fire.
In front of a wide, unknown river, Zheng Qian glanced at the river, and there were many fish in it because they were not polluted, and many of them even jumped out of the water. In this way, there are still people who can starve to death, and there is no one left, and one person can eat one fish a day, and he can survive for some time.
Zheng Qian sharpened a branch, rushed into the water, and pierced it indiscriminately with the pointed tip, and in less than five minutes, a fish was sacrificed. There are so many fish here that even if you stab indiscriminately, you can catch pure and pollution-free freshwater fish in a short time. Zheng Qian in front of these primitive people, remove the fish scales, remove the internal organs, skewer on the fire and eat it, after a while, the fragrance came out, which made these primitive people amazed, I knew that this thing could be eaten, so could anyone starve to death?
Primitive people have learned to go down to the river to fish, sure enough, fishing is more convenient than taking a stone axe to cut an antelope, less than a moment, almost everyone has a harvest, if you go to catch those animals, sometimes a day and a half can not catch not to say, after a long time will encounter wild beasts, not to eat, but be eaten.
This made these primitive people excited at the same time, but also grateful to Zheng Qian, without Zheng Qian, they would not be able to find another channel now.
The primitive people were very happy, but Zheng Qian, who was eating roasted shells from the fire, was sullen, there was not even a pot in this world, and he couldn't eat fried and fried, he could only eat grilled vegetables. It's like a person who has a girlfriend and runs away with someone else all of a sudden, and the mood is probably very different from that of someone who doesn't have a girlfriend in the first place.
"You go back and let those women use rattan to weave some baskets, which are square and have a base......" Zheng Qian drew the shape of the basket on the soil with branches, and then drew the steps step by step, the border is not difficult strictly speaking, and can make stone tools, which can be basically done, Zheng Qian is afraid that these people will not understand the purpose of the basket, so he said while drawing: "The basket can be filled with some things, it is very convenient to live, and it can also be put in the river to catch fish!" ”
"But it seems a bit difficult, can those women do it......"
"Finish it or not, it's all their job, and the men only need to be in charge of what's there, hunting and defending, and building."
"Alright then......"
This man is more tolerant, because the status of women in this era is low, because they hunt like men, but their bodies are naturally inferior to men, and even female men in this era are not as good as the big men, not to mention that there is a species of sissy at this time, so men have to prove that they are more useful than women.
Later, it seems that in the process of gathering, the woman discovered the growth law of plants, so she developed agriculture and could have children. Men often did not find food for the whole day in their hunting work, and women gradually became the main members of the family, and a matriarchal society began. Zheng Qian believes that a matrilineal society exists, and the 21st century is like a matrilineal society, where a woman wants hundreds of thousands of dollars to marry, and half a house for divorce, but children generally follow their family names, and on the surface, the man is still the head of the family.
"Listen, everyone, from now on, this young man is your new chief, I am too old to do anything, and I want to rest, and I have waited until now, just because there is no one among you who has the strength to lead, the small one is too small and the big one is too big, either brainless or powerless!" While everyone was eating, the chief of the small tribe, who was a little rickety, stood up: "From now on, all the big and small affairs of this small tribe will be decided by this young man!" ”
"Chief!"
"Don't call me a chieftain, I'm not a chief anymore......"
The old man had not spoken, and from yesterday to today, he knew that his chief had died in name only, because everyone had already obeyed Zheng Qianyan. And originally everyone respected the old man's bravery and perseverance when he was young, but now that the old man is old, it is inevitable that he will be considered a burden, especially a burden as a chief.
The primitive man who was a little reluctant glanced at the old chief, and then at Zheng Qian, and finally looked at the more powerful Zheng Qian, wearing a wolf tooth necklace, and led everyone to build a house, build a bed, and end up with part of the food problem, although Zheng Qian is a newcomer, but he has the ability to lead everyone, Zheng Qian's primitive said to Zheng Qian: "The chief ......"
"Chief!"
According to Zheng Qian's order, the men, who had fished in the river after eating for the rest of the women, also called Zheng Qian the chief with a happy face.
Blessed are they to have such a capable chief.
"If you want me to be the chief, you must listen to me, otherwise it will be meaningless for this chief to be in office."
"This chief can rest assured, the average tribal chief is the largest, and no one will not listen to what the chief says!" A primitive man stepped forward and explained: "The chieftain generally includes the arrangement of the hunt, the distribution of food, and even the matter of deciding the life and death of a handful of people!" ”
"Well, the most important thing for us now is to have a house for the winter, and then store a lot of food, otherwise some animals will hibernate in winter, and the river will freeze and freeze, and we will inevitably starve to death because of food in winter." Zheng Qian ate a bite of roasted frogs, these men were also drunk, this new chief fish, shells, small shrimp, frogs, caught what to roast, Zheng Qian also felt that he was more vigorous than primitive people, Zheng Qian said to these men: "Meat food is easy to spoil, so it is necessary to hunt a lot in the first few days before winter, and some fruits and plants can be stored, or dried, so that we will be able to survive the winter with both hands!" ”
"Chief, are you talking about a lot of storage, are you storing these fish?"
"It's too monotonous to eat only fish, and some meat should also be stored, so that you won't get tired in winter!"
"But as for animals, we can fight three or five a day when it's good, and only eight or nine people can fight one or two when it's bad!"
Obviously, the idea of this primitive person is still in, under the food and clothing family, now Zheng Qian is going to lead them to run to a well-off, not only to consider the food, warmth, but also to consider the taste of food, eat nutritious, Zheng Qian's goal is to lead everyone to get rich and become stronger, at this time Zheng Qian said: "You have to believe in your own ability, you have the ability to fight a hundred animals in three or five days, and you don't have to risk your life!" ”
"How is this possible?"
"That's it, how can we fight five or six in a day, and we don't have to take any risks!"
"It's not clear now, but when the time comes, you'll know that what I said is true!"
After Zheng Qian went back, he taught everyone how to build a house and build a fence, Zheng Qian originally planned to teach them to build a semi-cave dwelling, half above ground and half underground, a circular building, which was the house where the first human beings walked out of the cave, and the semi-underground can be warm in winter and cool in summer, but after all, it is not orthodox, so Zheng Qian ordered everyone to build a square house on the ground, and if possible, you can build a basement, since you have walked out of the cave, there is no need to live in the cave.
Because there are only four or five people in a family at most, with the current simple conditions, there is no need to build too big, more than 20 square meters, as for the fence can be planted with some vegetables and fruits, as well as put some winter wood, self-sufficiency is enough, and so on next spring, Zheng Qian will teach everyone to plant wheat, this kind of tens of thousands of years of history, human beings first tried to plant and eat plants.
The fence is very simple, you don't need a nail, and you can definitely make a large area of fence in two days.
Dig a few thick logs and fix them, tie two long logs with straw ropes on each side, and insert some branches between the two long logs.
Zheng Qian kicked a few times, a little shaky, but overall it was able to block the footsteps of some beasts a little. (To be continued.) )
