Luo Chong's request to stay was irrefutable. Although he hoped to go back earlier, the purpose of this trip had not been achieved. The transaction of white salt and many materials had not been negotiated. What was the point of going back? Wouldn't it be a waste of time?
However, Yu Tu was no longer entangled in the matter of white salt, but the issue of what to do with their tribe in the future. Now he wanted to escape with his whole tribe, but he might not be able to do it. After all, the migration of hundreds of people was not such a simple matter.
Neither negotiation nor escape was possible. The leader of the Han tribe insisted on staying to see his tribe, so he would see it. After all, he had a lot of skills, and he could learn a lot from just looking around. With the idea of breaking the jar, Yu Tu and his party followed Shu Da to stroll around the streets of Hanyang City.
In fact, there was nothing to see in Hanyang City. The bare streets had no shops and no idle people. In addition to the naughty children, there were only vehicles transporting supplies coming and going on the streets.
Shu Da took them to visit the carpentry workshop, the construction site in the city, and finally the weaving workshop and the Han tribe's breeding farm. These things can well demonstrate the Han tribe's technological level and productivity. Although there is some suspicion of leaking technology, Luo Chong is not worried at all.
Some things cannot be learned by just looking at them, just like carpentry, which seems simple, but how far can you develop without metal tools? Besides, even if you are extremely smart and can learn it at a glance, can you make it? For example, high-tech windmills, can you make them with a small tribe of less than 500 people?
On the contrary, Luo Chong did not let them visit advanced jobs such as blacksmithing, so they had no way of knowing how to make tools, and would not think of refining materials from stones.
There was also the lowest level of pottery firing technology, but Luo Chong did not let them visit it because it was too simple. Basically, you could understand the principle at a glance. It was nothing more than taking mud and shaping it into the desired shape, and finally burning it in a raging fire. As long as you knew the principle, you could try a few more times. Good pottery could not be fired, but it was easy to use the inferior ones.
Luo Chong's idea was very simple. He monopolized the manufacturing industry of containers to control other tribes. This was the fundamental basis for the peaceful development of the Han tribe. If other tribes also had important materials such as metals, salt, and pottery, and the Han tribe could not control them with production materials, they could only use force to solve the problem. There were other ways, but most of them were too slow to implement. Luo Chong did not have the time to wait, so he could only do this.
After visiting these, Yu Tu and his party had become demented. It was really that the impact of these heaven-defying technologies on concepts was too severe, and even mercilessly broke their original worldview. When they returned to the resettlement house in the afternoon, they were like fools and could only repeat one sentence over and over again, "So it can be like this? !" '
In the farm, he first came into contact with the concept of animal farming. While his tribesmen were still risking their lives and running all over the mountains to hunt, the old sows in the Han tribe gave birth to 12 piglets in one litter. Every day, they could easily collect some vines to turn them into meat. What an advanced concept.
They should have learned to grow crops, and they should understand the advantages of planting and gathering, which is just like hunting and breeding, that is, stability. However, they never learned to draw inferences from one example to another.
On the other hand, while they were still worrying about animal skins for the winter, the Han tribe had already taken wool from the sheep they farmed to make cloth. They did not kill the animals first and then skin them to keep warm like their own tribe did, but took wool from live sheep and regenerated them repeatedly, so that they could make unlimited use of limited resources.
Look at their advanced ideas, and then look at what their own tribe is doing. Killing sheep for skins is tantamount to killing chickens to get eggs, exhausting the pond to catch fish. They reuse and produce repeatedly, but here it becomes a one-time thing. Shame on you.
Feeling these things, time unknowingly came to dinner time. In order to promote the lifestyle of the Han tribe to them in all aspects, Yu Tu and his group even let them cook their own dinner.
In the middle room of the main house, the two stoves on the left and right were filled with firewood. The warriors under Shu Da were teaching Yu Tu and his group how to cook. If there is anything that can represent the culture of a tribe, it is nothing more than dressing, judging from the dining habits, and the architectural features.
Food, clothing, housing and transportation are the basics of human life. When people come into contact with each other, the first thing they see is the appearance of this person, which is clothing, and it is also a general term for dressing. People with good eyesight can even tell the customs and customs of this nation from their appearance.
After meeting and getting to know each other, the next step is naturally to taste the unique food, which is food. Food is the basic component of human life. Whether there is a lot of food, whether it tastes good, and how to eat it can reflect the characteristics of a nation, especially our great China, which is well versed in this. The food culture is simply amazing. Foreigners are full of praise after eating it, and it has the reputation of dominating the food industry in Blue Star.
Although the Han tribe is not so exaggerated now, it is still possible to make a dozen dishes casually. In addition, the Han tribe's unique staple food, white rice, has elevated this meal to the extreme. Until this time, Yu Tu finally confirmed that the Han tribe has a stable staple food. It is also true that if thousands of people rely on hunting and gathering to survive, I am afraid that the area within a hundred miles will be eaten without a single blade of grass left. In
addition to the food itself, the most important thing is the way of eating. Compared with their tribes that still sit anywhere, eat barbecue every day, and occasionally eat raw meat and drink blood, the Han tribe's way of eating is much more particular.
Food must be placed in pre-washed plates and porcelain bowls, and then placed on a long wooden table. Hands must be washed before eating. When several people eat together, the seats must be particular, and there must be order of seniority. Only the highest-ranking person can sit in the upper seat.
After finally finishing all these, he still had to use chopsticks to stuff the food into his mouth. My god, this was simply torture. The table full of food made people drool, but they were not allowed to grab the food with their hands, and they couldn't reach it with chopsticks. It was simply a torture device prepared for people with clumsy hands.
Although it was difficult to use, it was also good for eating rice, especially when he heard Shu Da introduce that these were crops grown by the Han tribe themselves. For a moment, Yu Tu even thought he had found his "same species".
Sure enough, he had guessed that the neat grass outside the city could not be wild. When he eagerly asked Shu Da for confirmation, Shu Da readily admitted it and told him that tomorrow was the day for rice harvesting. If they were interested, they could go and have a look.
"Interested, of course I'm interested. We will definitely go tomorrow." Yu Tu immediately nodded and agreed.
