Chapter 19 Recharge will become stronger
For the people of the tribe, it is good to be able to find the chickens, but because there is not enough rice to feed most of the chickens, they have to slaughter most of the chickens and eat them with tears to serve as a day's ration.
The remaining ones, for reproduction, were covered in baskets, and the dog acted as a chicken dog, and it seemed that he liked the work.
The old patriarch knew that the dog was definitely taking revenge on the pheasants, and he could understand their situation at that time by looking at the wool pecked off the lamb's buttocks.
Outside the shed, a group of bonfires appeared in the clearing, and the women divided some of them, and in the course of a few days they mixed the clay, gravel, shells, and yellow clay collected by the old and young people, and put them in the campfire, and began to make pottery.
The old people have their own experience, which is why when crossing the river, the few remaining warriors would rather sacrifice themselves to send the old man across the river, the old man is the crystallization of wisdom, they know a lot, not only limited to pottery, farming.
It is difficult for the tribe that does not pay attention to the old man to have long-term development, because the wisdom of the old man can save future generations from many detours.
The pottery had to be re-fired, and this thing couldn't be brought, and it would break when it was touched, and it was so chaotic at that time, and the tribe was at a critical juncture for survival, where was there still a mind to care about the pottery.
Yu Zai kicked the basket, and at the same time saw that there were already children holding pottery that had just been made for a long time, and there were no exquisite patterns, which were ordinary and indispensable for every family.
Since the teenagers have begun to cut down trees, fight beasts, and hunt for food to keep their tribes alive, women and elders must also do what they can.
Inside the basket, the kidnapped fat chicken had to succumb to the obscenity of the Chifang clan, squatting here, incubating eggs on the haystack, the chicken's head was spinning around, the feathers were fluffy and bulging, and when Yu Zai reached out to see what the eggs it hatched looked like, the fat chicken immediately fried its feathers, and even stretched out its head to peck Yu Zai's hand.
But there is still no way to stop the infringement of Yu Zai's egg-grabbing.
"Huh, what is this?"
The golden egg appeared in front of Yu Zai's eyes, and then looked at the other two, which were very ordinary grass eggs.
Why is there a top-up version of this native egg?
"Dog...."
"Wow!"
The dog wags its tail and always looks carefree.
Yu Zai stared at the dog: "Where did you get this golden egg?"
The dog's head turned in the direction of the fat chicken, and his ears moved, and he called out, indicating that the golden egg had come out of their nest.
Yu Zai touched his chin and fell into deep thought.
What kind of egg is this, so dazzling and coquettish, it can't be a phoenix, right?
Can you become stronger by topping up?
Yu Zai looked at the fat chicken, and the fat chicken had recovered its numbness at this time, and no longer pursued the matter of being picked up.
Squeak –
But at this moment, the golden egg in Yu Zai's hand suddenly shook.
The range of action is not large, but Yu Zai is naturally aware of it, and after staring at it for a while, the golden egg did not shake again, as if the scene just now was an illusory imagination.
Yu Zai thought for a while, and put the three eggs back under the fat chicken's belly.
"I don't know what will hatch....."
Yu Zai is more sensitive and worried about these special things, after all, there are too many strange beasts in the mountains and seas.
The teenagers have gathered, and every day's work is essential, but watching the place of residence change every day, and the teenagers have built their own homes with their own hands, that feeling, that sense of accomplishment, is indeed very satisfying for them.
But today, there are some people who want to divide and carry out the rammed earth wall with the old patriarch and the concubine.
But there are some other preparations.
Yu Zai commanded the teenagers: "The soil in the northeast of Daqiu is yellow, bring them to me; a few days ago, everyone ate the leftover snail shells, and they were also taken out for me, and I want to turn them into ashes; Yu Tu, take people to Yanze, dig more river sand, remember that the river sand is not silt, it is the area where you pick up beetles, I saw the fine sand there last time, it is very good." Oh, and those round river rocks there, take more and bring them back, be sure to have more, and pull the log cart when the time comes, and don't go near the central area, so as not to provoke the old turtle. ”
This is a necessary preparation, and the delivery time is two days for the time being.
There was something meaningful in the old patriarch's eyes: "Burnt shell ash, delicate river sand, yellow thick soil." ”
Yu Zai said: "This is called Sanhe soil, by the way, does the patriarch know a kind of white hard stone, the kind that falls ash." ”
The old patriarch shook his head, and Yu Zai also sighed: "It's a pity, we can't quarry stones for the time being, if there is this kind of stone, it should be much better than the shell of the beetle." ”
But the words are not absolute, after all, these beetles are all strange beasts, although they have no attack power, but it doesn't mean that people are not easy to use.
The two days passed in a flash, and the teenagers were carrying supplies naked, sweating profusely, but there was an extremely cheerful atmosphere in the crowd, and they seemed to have endless energy, and when the concubine had burned the shells to ashes, the next thing to do was to stir and beat these things.
First of all, it is necessary to pound the loess to make it cooked soil, and then it is necessary to mix the three materials, during which it is necessary to constantly turn over with a mallet to make it fuse, and finally pile it up for a period of time, and it can be used.
Under the vigorous earth-pounding project, the teenagers are full of energy!
And in the meantime, for several days, the logging team has also accelerated the progress of logging! Because Yu Zai said that a large amount of wood will soon be needed to make planks and stakes!
"Wu, you want stone tools and wooden planks. ”
"Is there rattan? ”
"Yes, don't worry. ”
The technology of plate building appeared very early, but the large-scale application did not reach the Shang Dynasty, and before Emperor Shun, it was still concentrated in the hands of a small number of people in the north, and even lost for a time.
But this thing is not an advanced skill after all, and there are always tribes that can reappear if they are lost.
The construction of the plate building, the retaining version must be erected first, the retaining version on both sides of the name, also known as planting, the front end of the retaining version of the name Zhen, of course, in the current era, there are not so many twists and turns, the board is the board, what to do with so many nouns.
When fixing, in order to prevent the retaining plate from moving, it is necessary to erect a stake (樁) outside the plate, and bypass the fine wooden stake and tie the plate tightly with a rope.
This rope is named.
So the zhen, the elon and other wooden planks are tied, you can fill the soil and rammed, and the action of tamping is "building", and the plate building is named because of this.
When ramming the high wall, it is necessary to build scaffolding on the outside, all in all, it is very similar to the high-rise buildings of later generations, but the procedure is very simplified.....
But the quality of this kind of earthen wall is absolutely good.
"There's no ramming pestle for the time being, go back and let someone get it, probably like this......"
Yu Zai and the old patriarch talked about the appearance of the tool, and the old patriarch called someone to know Yu Zai.
"Don't look back, let's do it now, Wu, he is a concubine, he didn't like to talk before, but in the past two days, I found out that his skills in building sheds are very good, and many new tools in the tribe are broken now, and they are all looking for him to repair." ”
Yu Liang seemed a little shy, lowered his head, and said Wu.
Yu Zai patted him and told him what the ramming pestle looked like, this thing was very easy to make.
After listening to it, Yu Liang thought about it in his mind and said to Yu Zai: "Soon... Wu, I'll be able to give it to you in a while, I'll take someone to do it now. ”
"Okay, there you go. ”
Fei Zai asked Yu Liang to get it, and then, the teenagers who stayed to do the rammed earth work took off the hemp and animal skins on their bodies, and the stone tools that the old patriarch got were mostly the kind of big stones after the initial polishing, and the teenagers pushed up the wooden planks, put soil in the middle, and began to rebuild a line of defense on the outside with the wooden wall as the inner wall.
The big stone was lifted up by the teenagers, raised above their heads, and then smashed downward, this is the first plate building area, first press the wall foundation, so dig down a little more, the teenagers are standing in the pit and smashing the earth.
The action of ramming the wall began to get on track, and Yu Zai asked the old patriarch: "Although this land is rotten, there should be small tribes, right?"
"Have the people who went out to open up the wasteland in the past two days found any traces of the activities of other tribes?"
The old patriarch shook his head: "Not yet. ”
Yu Zai pursed his lips: "If there is, I still want to borrow some good seeds from them....."
He took out a handful of seeds from his hand, some millet and some rice.
The first field was immediately cleared, and after the stump was removed, the burned fertilizer-filled land could be used for farming, and time waited for no one, and it seemed that this first batch of grain had to be planted by witchcraft.
But these seeds are too few, so Yu Zai thought that if there is a small tribe, he can also communicate with others and exchange a little seed back...... But since we haven't found it yet, there's no way around it.
