Chapter 92: Back
After a few days of busy living, I can basically ensure the appearance of seven or eight catties of salt per day, sometimes because the quality of the salt ore dug out is slightly worse, so it may be less, but on average, it is about this level.
However, compared with chiseling the salt ore from the cliff wall, the refining speed is still slower, and basically it can only deal with about half of what everyone smashes down every day.
That is to say, the number of people who polish and refine must be at least twice as many as the number of people who excavate, so as to truly achieve seamless connection and make full use of various manpower.
However, this time Song Xuan did not rearrange the manpower, but let the idle Shi Meng and them go around to get more wood and come back, after the existing shed was piled with wood, it would be a little insufficient to live in it.
So Song Xuan asked them to continue cutting wood, and at the same time build a few more sheds, now this season is too hot outside, the air in the valley is not as circulating as outside, and it has lost the blocking of big trees, under the direct sunlight, it is even hotter.
Under the sun, it won't take long for everyone to rest for a while, especially the people who dig ores, they are almost completely exposed to the sun, and there is nothing to cover them, so Song Xuan also wants to take this opportunity to block up the places that may be used around the valley with sheds, so that whether it is hot weather or wind and rain, it is not a problem.
At the same time, let them build a few simple houses to come out, not as strict as in the tribe, as long as they can shelter from the wind and rain a little.
In the summer, you can live outside, and it is very cool, but it may not be possible in the future, after all, every time you come here, it is not necessarily summer, and with the increasing number of developments, it is possible to send people here in autumn and even winter.
When the weather is cold, campfires alone are not enough, and this is not hunting in the wild, you may need to change places at any time, since you have to work here for a while, you still have to pay attention to the living conditions.
After ten days of busy work, I finally refined more than 100 catties of salt, looking at the two full jars, the sense of accomplishment in everyone's hearts is still not small.
This is the first real large-scale refining in the tribe, and the process is relatively smooth.
Everyone was full when they came, but now that they have returned, apart from weapons and a small number of packages, all they need to take with them are these two jars of salt, which seems too easy.
So many pots and pans, naturally placed directly here, although it may be served by someone else, but obviously it must not be able to run back and forth, Shi Meng They also did a little concealment of this valley, mainly in the surrounding forest to block the gaps with trees, as far as possible so that people do not so easy to walk.
Generally, when encountering such a very difficult place, Shi Meng and they will definitely go around, unless they encounter a large number of beasts before they can take the risk to get in, so they can still have some hidden effects.
Anyway, it's not too far from the tribe, and there are enough people in the back, and you can even set up a sentry here, which was very good when you defended the Black Feather tribe before.
Although it was revoked later, it was also because of the lack of manpower, and the possibility of the Wuyu tribe coming back was not so great for the time being, so Song Xuan and Shi Meng discussed it and decided to return to the tribe first.
After packing up, more than twenty people returned to the tribe with the two jars on their backs.
After seeing it last time, the people in the tribe are not as excited about salt as they were at the beginning, but there is still some excitement, after all, this is the Tengsnake tribe's own things, and there is no need to exchange a lot of food with others.
More than 20 people worked for ten days, which was enough for three or four months of salt consumption in the tribe, if it was unimaginable before, such salt could be eaten for at least two or three years in the past, and it was absolutely impossible for the Teng Snake tribe to be willing to take so much food in exchange for them, and it must be a small amount of exchange every time.
It is beneficial to have more people, but the consumption of various things has also increased exponentially, especially the people like the Teng Snake Tribe, who have nearly tripled in just one year, and some of the original concepts are completely insufficient at this time.
Fortunately, most of the things of Teng Snake are now in their own hands, and they don't have to worry about being stripped and pinched by others.
The gas was not as hot as it had been a while before, but the harvest of the hunting party had not diminished, and as the beasts had grown fatter, they had brought back more and more each time.
Teng Snake's people, captives and people from the Blackwater tribe have basically integrated into a whole now, and there is only a difference in title at present, of course, in terms of overall status, the captives must be a little worse, since Gong Yi and the three of them joined the tribe, in the past few months, Song Xuan has only arranged for four people to hold this kind of ceremony.
These people are usually very good, and play an important role in hunting or looking for things, two of them are hunting, the two are partnered to solve the four wolves, although there are only two of them, but in the face of the wolves are not left behind, and even such a big catch, which is also quite good in the hunting team.
Of course, all the people who joined Teng Snake must have to re-form a family, otherwise Song Xuan was still a little uneasy, and now there are several women among the captives who are already pregnant with children.
As long as there are children, even in primitive society, there will be some concerns, as the captives integrate better and better, Song Xuan also asked people to tear down their tall walls, although they still live in a semi-crypt house, but in other aspects there is not much difference from the people of Teng Snake.
Most of these captives, Teng Snake and Heishui's people also have a very good opinion of them, and they work harder and hard-working, so they don't hate each other as much as they did at the beginning.
It is worth mentioning that the six captives assigned to Shui Yun at that time, their lives in Heishui were naturally not as good as Teng Snake, and they also missed the opportunity to be brought back.
Shui Yun's control over them is also a little stricter, and they are completely treated as slaves, so although under the coercion of force, although they work very hard, the relationship between the two sides is never very good.
But after coming to Teng Snake, the living conditions have directly improved several grades, but it has moved a few people, and it didn't take long for Song Xuan to let a few people also participate in the hunt, as if they had been reused, several people worked hard to integrate into the rhythm of Teng Snake's life, and even learned Mandarin more actively than Shui Yun and them, and now in the Black Water Tribe, except for the Water Witch who speaks better than others, there are these captives.
Among them, Ulin naturally also plays an important role, as the captive who came to Teng Snake at the beginning, since the last time the Wuyu tribe did not exchange him back, he completely accepted his fate, and it may be that the cautious revenge exists, and Ulin directly regards this place as his own tribe.
Because he came relatively early, he already had a lot of prestige among the captives, although he was not as heavily used as the bow and them, but he also acted as an intermediary between the captives and Teng Snake's side, and with him, the tasks and news could be better arranged.
Song Xuan was thinking of giving the captives a large-scale joining ceremony in the winter, so he put it on hold for the time being, anyway, for now, more than ninety percent of the captives had no other thoughts.
Although they have only been in the Teng Snake Tribe for only half a year, since that exchange did not exchange them back, most of them have no idea of returning to the Black Feather Tribe, and the life that Teng Snake has given them is quite good.
Especially after learning about the power of Teng Snake's various new weapons, these people also know that even if they go back, it is not necessarily a good thing.
However, there must be some entanglements, especially many people in the Wuyu tribe still have families, Teng Snake and Wuyu will definitely have a battle to fight in the future, and it will be even more difficult for them to choose when the time comes.
As autumn gradually arrived, Song Xuan began to collect all kinds of seeds again, although most of the seeds planted this year were useless, but there were still a few rape seeds that were fully ripe, and Song Xuan carefully packed them in a small jar.
The cabbage has also begun to bear seeds, and the seeds seem to be not much different from rape, but there is still this obvious difference between the two plants, fortunately, the weather is suitable now, and it can wait until it grows seeds, if it is winter, Song Xuan is really worried, and may not be able to grow seeds.
In order to preserve these seeds, Song Xuan also specially let the stone fire a batch of small clay pots, these clay pots are only the size of two fists, and the largest is the appearance that can hold four or five bowls of water.
After all, this is the seed planted by the tribe itself, and the number of the first generation is too small, if it is still used in the previous clay pot, it will almost reach the point of invisibility, and Song Xuan is worried that others will knock him over.
If it is made so small, it can be placed directly in his room, at least so far, Song Xuan is still the only person in Teng Snake who has a room alone.
Although the area is not large, it is more than enough for him to live alone, and it is just used to sleep and rest every day, and other people in the house will not break in at will, so it is safer to put it here.
