It has to be said that with slaves in the tribe, the tribesmen's lives became easier.
Many things could be done by slaves, such as digging wells.
When they dug the two wells, they arranged for the strongest men in the tribe to dig them. Now that so many slaves have arrived, they naturally threw this hard task to them.
After Jiang Xue found the locations of four new wells, she went to check the newly built houses for the Bashan people.
The original idea was to build two connected townhouses for Sang Yang and his team. Now that I'm there, I see that they're progressing quite quickly, and the only thing left is to complete the roof.
After the roof is completed, they can move in.
The first thing Sang Yang did when he arrived at the tribe was to take his fellow tribesmen to see the new row houses that the Snake Tribe had built for them.
The people of the Bashan tribe had never seen such a magnificent house before, and that night some of them ignored their own safety and moved in.
Although the doors and windows of the townhouse were almost finished, they had not been installed.
Seeing that they insisted on moving in, the carpenters installed the door overnight.
Although they could still see the stars in the sky while lying in the house, the people of the Bashan tribe felt particularly comfortable living there.
Sang Feng looked down on these unworldly country bumpkins: "What's so good about a townhouse? Can it be as good as my bamboo house?"
Ever since she came to the Bamboo Tribe, she fell in love with this bamboo house that was originally built for Jiang Xue.
After more than half a year of baptism, the bamboo house has long lost its green color and replaced it with a burnt yellow color.
It looks very much like the color of the Bashan beach.
Moreover, when you live inside, you can feel the mountain breeze and fall asleep listening to the sound of wind chimes made of conch shells that Jiang Xue hung under the eaves.
It's like sleeping on the beach and hearing the crashing of waves.
The sound intoxicated her.
Jiang Xue took a look around and finally found that the progress of the townhouse seemed a bit slow.
Jiang Xue found Akagi and asked him, only to learn that during this period, they did not have enough water and could not get water from the river to make tiles. The progress of firing tiles was slow, and the progress of the entire townhouse also slowed down.
Jiang Xue nodded in understanding. It seemed that it was necessary to find a new well at the brickyard.
Although everyone carries water on their shoulders, it allows them to walk less and make more tiles.
Jiang Xue was thinking this, and suddenly looked at the big pond in front of her.
She asked Akagi in surprise: "Then why don't you build the kiln here? Isn't there water here?"
Akagi slapped his forehead suddenly: "Yeah, why didn't I think of it!"
Then I prepared to find someone to rebuild a tile kiln nearby.
After checking the condition of the row houses, Jiang Xue returned to the farmland to check the condition of the paddy fields.
It is a severe drought after all. The most troublesome thing about a drought is the insects that cannot be killed no matter what.
Before leaving, Jiang Xue specially asked people to go to the fields to catch insects and cut weeds. But now, there are still people busy catching insects in the rice fields, but the insects have still eaten the rice seedlings and there is not a single good leaf left.
What should they do? They don’t have any pest control spirits, insecticide, or DDT. Faced with these endless insects, what should they do?
Jiang Xue frowned deeply.
She was thinking of planting winter wheat in a few days, but now seeing the scene in the rice fields, how could she dare to plant winter wheat!
"How long have you been catching bugs?"
"We come here almost every day to catch them, but there are always too many bugs to catch. Snow Witch, do you have a better idea?"
Jiang Xue picked up a piece of rice leaf and took a look at it. She didn't recognize these pests, and she didn't want them to continue to run rampant in the rice fields. There was only one way.
Prepare some insecticide powder yourself. If you can do it yourself, then the people in the tribe won’t have to work so hard in the future.
"I don't have a better solution at the moment, but I will find a way."
Jiang Xue put down the seedlings, took another look at the tribesmen working in the fields, then turned and walked towards the dry land.
There are still some sweet potatoes in the dry land that have not been harvested, and in some fields where the sweet potatoes have been harvested, the sweet potato vines are thrown on the ground at random.
Jiang Xue was reluctant to part with these good things, so she gathered them into a pile, intending to take them back and spread them directly on the chicken coop in the valley.
Although these sweet potato vines are of little use now, in winter, even if they dry up, they are still the best feed for cattle and sheep.
She looked around and found that the kiln seemed to have not fired pottery for some time, which Jiang Xue could understand.
The tribe’s pottery almost filled up the cave, and if more were fired, there wouldn’t be enough space to store them.
But it was obvious that when the Bashan people arrived, they would immediately fire another batch of new pottery to fill the gap.
Jiang Xue came back with a bundle of sweet potato vines and saw the carpenters working on the spinning wheel.
Jiang Xue was curious and walked up.
The carpenters' comprehension ability was much stronger than she had imagined.
She had only provided a sample, but they still gave her a big surprise.
There are now five or six spinning wheels in the bamboo house in the valley.
But they still don't know how to use it, so next, Jiang Xue can only try it herself first. If successful, she will select a few people to do this boring task and then she can retire.
Fortunately, they have completely separated the ramie fibers and ramie skins, and the next work is relatively easy and simple.
Jiang Xue went into the bamboo house, took a few strands of dried ramie fiber and went back into the house. Soon the squeaking sound of the spinning wheel was heard in the house.
