Chapter 392 Learning Technology (1)

Xia Tian could understand why the people in the tribe wanted to bring her and Si Ye together, and she wouldn't embarrass anyone openly, but she wouldn't accept it.

After all...what to say is other people's business, but how to do it is her own choice.

She is not the kind of person who would make a decision easily just because of a few words from others, let alone such a lifelong event, so she has to be even more cautious.

Moreover, she was not interested in these things in the first place, and now she is not sure whether she can restore her fertility. In this world where female fertility is respected, not being able to give birth to children is a sin.

But these sorrows cannot be told to outsiders.

"Alright, alright, don't you see Xia Xia is shy?" Qiu was the first to notice that something was wrong with Xia Tian's expression, so he stopped talking in time. Remembering what he had agreed to do with her some time ago, he quickly brought up the topic. "By the way, Xia Xia, didn't you say you were going to teach everyone how to make snow salt and smoked animal meat? Now that we're all here, why don't you tell us about it when it's convenient for you?"

"What did you say? You said Xia Xia is willing to teach us these methods?" Before Xia Tian could say anything, the others next to her interrupted her. They all looked shocked. "Are you saying that we can still learn these techniques?"

You know, in ordinary tribes, these technologies are confidential content that only witch doctors and clan leaders know. Ordinary people don’t know them. On the one hand, the technology is somewhat complicated and they may not be able to learn it. Teaching them will only delay production progress.

Another important reason... is that they are afraid that someone will learn these methods, become disloyal, and set up their own faction, thus affecting the unity within the tribe.

Therefore, these technologies have always been mastered by the core figures in the tribe, and have a special sense of mystery.

"By the way, is this technology difficult or complicated?"

Someone immediately began to doubt their own learning ability. "Xia Xia, it's not that we don't want to learn, but we may not be able to master it. It would be a waste of your time... How about asking the males in our tribe to teach them when they come back from hunting?"

Everything he said showed his lack of self-confidence.

In fact, Xia Tian can also understand this mentality, which is caused by the long-term different division of labor between men and women.

The male is the backbone of the family and is mainly responsible for production-related matters, but the female is more responsible for reproduction and housework. Naturally, they think that they are weaker and have no confidence in doing anything.

It is difficult to adjust to this situation in a short period of time. In fact, not to mention in such a society, even in the 21st century, there are many people who believe that women's learning and working abilities are weaker than men's.

In fact, this is just a matter of specialization and different choices, and it doesn’t mean anything else.

"If you're not willing to try, how do you know you can't do it?" Xia Tian didn't look down on them for their lack of confidence. Instead, she guided them step by step. "To be precise, this also falls under the category of housework. Since this is your responsibility, why don't you want to learn? You can build a project as large as a public toilet, so why don't you believe that you can't make snow salt? This is much simpler than that. In any case, give it a try. It's not a big deal. Even if you fail, the salt blocks won't be wasted, you just won't make snow salt."
