Chapter 014: The Situation Is Grim

The stone hammer was very heavy, but fortunately, the men and women in the tribe looked thin and had no small strength, and they took turns to beat it quickly.

At this time, the wooden basin was also made, although the inside of the wooden basin taken out with a stone knife and stone axe was uneven and miserable, but it was finally not leaked, and it was light and easy to take compared to the stone basin, which was enough.

Lu gently personally took the pounded black rattan and the pulp juice carefully into the No. 1 wooden basin, stored it with water, scrubbed it vigorously, and after scrubbing all the starch into the water, he scooped up the black rattan and wrung it out and threw it away.

Then let the two of them carry the funnel, put a larger No. 2 tub under the funnel, and ask a man with great strength to pick up the No. 1 tub and pour it from top to bottom.

The liquid passes through the grass mass in the funnel, the residue is trapped, and the white slurry is filtered down and flows into the No. 2 wooden pot.

After filtering, Lu gently washed the grass balls in the funnel with water again, making sure not to let go of a trace of starch.

"Is this ready to eat?" the clansmen gathered around, looking at the murky water in the basin with some suspicion.

"Not yet, I have to leave it for most of the day, wait for the contents to settle, and then cook it. Lu gently explained.

"Is it delicious?"

"If you can eat it, it's delicious, it's better than konjac. ”

"Really?"

"I'll have to wait for most of the day. ”

Everyone was immediately looking forward to it, and they couldn't wait to pounce on it and eat it immediately.

At noon, it was naturally konjac tofu again, and those snakes were kept until the evening, and they were eaten when the group of people in the big city came back.

Eating the tasteless tofu, Lu Qingqing also began to look forward to the fern root glutinous rice cake, although there is no sugar to add, but the fern root glutinous rice cake itself has a sweet taste, which is much better than this konjac tofu.

"Deer, we've made so many demon yoc, where are we going to put it?" asked Sanzhi.

The people who stayed in the cave all morning, except for the snow room, were making konjac tofu, and now the stone pots, stone basins and the like are full.

"Then let's rest for a while, take everything that has been done outside to freeze, and I'll let everyone make more wooden baskets to put it." ”

It is also very hurtful to make tofu firewood, although a lot of firewood was collected today, but those are wet, and they can't be burned immediately.

Throughout the afternoon, the clansmen went out to work, and those who stayed in the cave basically gathered around Lu Qingqing to learn to weave.

Large baskets, square baskets, baskets that can be hung, small and interesting small baskets like small bowls, Lu Qingqing even found tough hay and woven a small bag to hang on his body as a bag.

The tribesmen were fascinated by it, it was an interesting and practical thing for them, they had never known that simple wooden strips of hay could be used in this way, and they were very enthusiastic about learning and creating.

Seeing this, Lu Qing couldn't help but smile faintly, a straw sandal, a sled, and a weaving were enough for them to digest for a while.

She originally wanted to get some short square wooden frames to put konjac tofu, although there were no nails, but what frame could not be made with the tenon structure?

But after thinking about it, she still gave up, she was high-profile enough until last night, and she put things that weren't necessary first.

Lu gently fiddled with the branches in her hand, and inadvertently glanced at Yao, she had already noticed that Yaoyao had looked at her several times, and it seemed that she was still secretly observing herself.

"Deer. ”

"Father. Lu gently looked up at the corner who was on crutches to his side.

"Are you really sure you can eat this black vine?" asked Kaku.

"Whether you can eat it or not, I'll know when I make it later. ”

"It would be nice if it could really be used to satisfy hunger, relying on the demon jao and black vine, it will not be difficult for our tribe to survive this winter, but the wind and snow will get bigger and bigger, and when the beasts in the deep mountains can't find food, they will run out, and it will inevitably be a fierce battle at that time. Horn said worriedly.

Lu lightly frowned slightly, "Does my father plan to move to a safer place?"

"Where else can you migrate? It's not safe anywhere. Horn shook his head, "It's the tribe that must be prepared for a fierce battle, it's not enough to eat, we need salt and meat to maintain our strength!"

Lu gently looked at the dim sky outside the cave and the wind and snow that were blowing: "I don't know if Dacheng can hit the prey." ”

But even if you can hit your prey, what about table salt?

The little salt in the horn's hand was not enough to support a tribe of nearly two hundred people for an entire winter.

Thinking of this, Lu lightly put aside his prejudices and antipathy for the person in the opposite corner for a while, and asked him, "What can my father do?"

"Trade with the Roc tribe. ”

"Dapeng tribe?" is the tribe that Yao Xin wants to go to?

"Yes, the greenhouse tribe is more and more powerful than our Qinglu tribe, they have a good relationship with the white salt tribe, I heard that they trade a lot of salt with the white salt tribe every year, and a few years ago, the greenhouse tribe annexed the beast taming tribe, and now they have also begun to breed wild beasts in captivity, we take the demon yam and black vine, we should be able to trade salt and meat with them. ”

Jiao said and sighed: "Let's wait for Dacheng to come back." ”

He looked at the snowfield outside the cave with anticipation, hoping that the big city would bring back good news.

After all, it is so easy to trade with other tribes, not to mention that the Dapeng tribe is several times stronger than their tribe, this winter is extremely harsh and long, and the Dapeng tribe must also be short of materials, and ask them for salt and meat, which is to cut their meat. If one is not careful, the entire Qinglu tribe will be swallowed by them and become their slaves.

It is precisely because the situation is so grim that when Yao chose to directly join the Dapeng tribe, the clan did not oppose much.

If they could take care of the meat themselves and trade only one salt, it would be much better.

Lu was silent gently, the situation was so grim without salt and meat, there were not even demon taro and fern roots before, and the entire tribe was almost in a state of no food, no wonder Yao chose to surrender to the Dapeng tribe, and even became a slave when he did not hesitate, the clansmen almost did not object.

Because that's the only way to live.

Lu thought to herself, if she didn't come, how would this tribe survive, how could she be a slave to others in the winter?

It's a pity that the big city didn't bring them good news.

When it was almost completely dark, in the anticipation of all the fallen people, Ayutthaya and the others finally returned, when they went there were eleven people, and when they came back, they were still eleven, but half of them were injured, and one of them was very badly injured, and all of their legs were gone, and they were drenched in blood.

Horn was shocked: "Have you encountered a beast?"

Oshiro threw the bloody deer's buttocks and two hind legs on his back to the ground, gasped and said, "On the way back, I met a pack of wolves, fought and robbed them of their meat. ”
