Chapter 012: Straw Shoes and Sleds

Yao hurriedly closed her mouth, her old face flushed at the strange gaze of the clansmen, and she glared at Lu Qing with an almost cannibalistic gaze, just to see what she could make up.

Lu lightly fingers flew quickly, and the rough and yellow hay gradually took shape in her hand, and when she stopped, everyone saw that a new thing appeared in her hand.

Some people were sluggish and couldn't tell what it was, until Lu gently put his feet into this thing.

"It's called straw sandals, and it protects our feet. ”

"Hmph, what's the big deal about this, we used to tie a straw mat to wrap our feet, it's useless, it's not fast and it's easy to fall off. Haruka found fault again, but this time he learned to be obedient and didn't shout so loudly.

"It's the same as a straw mat? It's completely on your feet, so it's very convenient, and you don't have to worry about taking your feet off at every turn. Lu said lightly, "It's so cold, everyone's feet are injured, and it can protect a little bit, and tie a plank under this, it's also easy to walk in the snow, whoever is more skillful in our tribe will come to learn and match each of our soldiers who want to go out." ”

After listening to Lu Qingqing's words, everyone who thought they were ingenious approached Lu Qingqing suspiciously, and Lu Qingqing took the new materials to demonstrate.

The learning ability of these tribesmen was beyond Lu Qing's expectations, and they all learned quite quickly, and after about an hour, fifty pairs of elementary straw sandals were knitted.

And those tribesmen who were about to set off, Lu Qingqing did not let them idle, Lu lightly asked them to use stone axes and stone knives or something to split slender pieces of wood, polish the curved arc at one end, and use it as a pry board for sled shoes, and then chisel out two holes, and tie the planks and straw shoes together through these two holes for a while, that is, a pair of sleigh shoes.

Without doing anything, Lu gently asked them to make a sleigh together, and it didn't need to be complicated, the wooden strips that were not thick or thin were tied together to form a wide plank, and an upturned arc was also made at one end to reduce resistance in the process of moving forward.

Fortunately, there is a lot of wood in the cave, and there are a few old people in the tribe who have some experience with wood, so it is very fast to do it under Lu Qing's guidance.

The group was dressed and ready to go, Lu gently put on the crude sled shoes, holding a thin wooden stick in each hand, and showed them how to use the sled shoes to move forward, some people learned quickly, some people learned slowly, and the group set off crookedly.

When they arrived at the slopes of the konjac hills, the tribesmen who wore sled shoes for the first time were tired and panting, and their bodies were sore, and only a few seemed to be like fish in water.

Lu lightly praised those people, and the other people who were a little dissatisfied didn't dare to complain when they saw this.

If someone walks well in shoes, it means that the shoes are good, but they feel tired because they are stupid, so how can they question the treasure that the god of food has taught them because they are stupid?

Thinking about it like this, Lu Qingqing's image is even higher in their hearts.

As a teenager, Qi also learned very well, he was not tired at all, he pointed to the hillside and said: "This is it, before the snow, I often come here to play and pick up branches, the hillside is full of demon yoc, our tribe only dug a little bit back, I know where the most demon yam is." ”

Lu gently looked up at the slopes of the dead wood, the snow was boundless, and he couldn't tell which one was which, but he could recognize it?

"Half of them stayed here to cut down trees and pick up dead branches, and half of them went with me to dig up demon taro. Lu said softly, and asked everyone to take off the pry board under their feet and go up the mountain wearing only straw sandals.

They climbed the slope with wooden sticks, and after about ten minutes, they came to the place where Qi said, and took off the stone axes and stone poles tied to their bodies.

The snow was thigh-deep, and when you dig through the snow layer, you can see the black-brown soil, and if you dig a little further, you will see the intertwined weeds, tree roots, and then you will see the black konjac.

There are big and small konjac, Lu gently only let the big one be taken, and the small one will continue to grow in the next year, and it will be piled up in the snow after digging for a while, and then it will be necessary to let the people who collect firewood below come up to help move it down.

If you rely on people to carry konjac to the tribe alone, it will really be tiring to death, but fortunately, Lu gently got a sleigh out, put the konjac in the center of the sled, surrounded it with firewood, and then fixed it with rattan, and sent four people in front to pull the sleigh in front, and four more people in the back to watch, and rotated when they were tired, so that a group of eight people could transport a bunch of konjac back.

The people in the cave saw that they sent a batch of konjac back like this, they were all boiling, there was not necessarily such a harvest in the past whole day, they saw the wonderful use of the sleigh, and they were convinced by Lu Qingqing.

The old people and children began to process these newly arrived konjac, and Lu said lightly, how much to process, and make konjac tofu into frozen and eat slowly. The young men almost set out to pull the new sleds up the hill in the sleds they had made in the back.

Lu Qing was shocked to see so many people coming, and arranged for them to dig konjac and collect firewood alternately, don't be tired, and at the same time she was quite worried.

Konjac can't be eaten every day, and it can't always be eaten as a staple food, and it is unlikely that the big city will catch prey, and the food crisis is still very serious.

But she walked around on the slope, and her whole body was almost frozen and stupid, and she didn't find any fruits, wild vegetables, or anything like that, after all, it was winter, and there were not many grasses to be seen.

"Ahh

There were a bunch of people around there, and you and I seemed to be watching something lively, and it didn't look like there was any danger.

Lu slowed down lightly and asked, "What's going on?"

Everyone got out of the way and looked at Lu Qingqing with a happy face, and Lu Qingqing saw a tall and thin guy beside Qi carrying a big snake with a baby's thick arm and blue and white skin about two meters long.

"Deer, look, we found a big snake, such a big one, so meaty. ”

The snake was hibernating, and it was a disaster to be dug out of the soil, and seeing that there were faint signs of awakening, Lu gently said, "Kill it quickly and take it back to make soup." ”

"Great!" Qi shouted, and the adults on the side were also excited, the tall and thin guy threw down the big snake, and took out the head of the big snake with a stone axe, and took out the snake gall bladder with neat movements: "Deer, this is a good thing, let's make up for your body." ”

Everyone also agreed, and Lu took a step back gently: "No need, I don't need to make up for it, take it back and eat it together." ”

Lu Qingqing likes to eat delicious food and also likes to cook delicious food, but she really can't accept snakes, it's okay to look at it from a distance, and she can't let her get started, she always feels that she is slippery and greasy, let alone panicked.

Next, everyone looked for the snake with great interest, and seeing that there was no delay in the work, Lu Qingqing let it go.
