The domestication of goats was much simpler.
The goats in the mountains are very hostile to humans because they are hunted by humans. They will attack with their horns when they see humans approaching.
Mang and his family used to hunt mainly goats, and they were very familiar with their habits. When feeding them, they would stay far away, and would walk away before the goats even thought of attacking. Over time, the goats would develop a close relationship with the people who fed them.
Needless to say, once the pheasant's wings and tail are clipped, it will have no way to escape.
The doe that was trapped in the snare early this morning was now locked in a fence with her fawn, grazing leisurely.
"The witch applied medicine on the legs of the deer, so it looks like it should be fine now." Mang said.
"Mang, you've done a great job." Qiao Yu praised him. "I've decided to make you the captain of the breeding team. You'll be in charge of the team from now on."
Upon hearing this, Mang quickly waved his hands and said, "No, no. Shan is the captain. I'm just helping him take care of things while he's recovering from his injuries. Shan has a high prestige and everyone listens to him."
"I have more important things to entrust to my father. He won't be in charge of the breeding team anymore." Qiao Yu said, "Chun is now the captain of the collection team. If you don't become the captain, you will be surpassed by Chun."
At this point, she jokingly said, "You and your wife will both be team leaders, so you can compete to see who's more capable. If the breeding team brings more benefits to everyone than the gathering team, Chun will definitely admire you. Maybe the entire tribe will rely on the beasts raised by the breeding team to survive, and they'll be even more powerful than the hunting team."
After hearing this, Mang recalled Qiao Yu's vision for the breeding team the night before. He hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded and said, "Okay. If Shan has other important things to do, I'll be the captain of this breeding team."
He became disabled and no longer the family's breadwinner, having to rely on his wife and son for support. Naturally, he felt a huge emotional gap, and some thoughts naturally occurred to him. But now, the breeding team has given him hope to get back on his feet.
If, as Yu said, the tribe would rely primarily on animal husbandry, wouldn't his status be very important? Would the fruits of his labor be greater than those of his wife and son? Would he then become someone his wife and son could rely on and admire?
At this moment, Mang's heart was filled with infinite passion.
When Qiao Yu returned to the clearing, he saw Shanban leaning on a haystack. Together with Lu, Shi and others, he was looking at the prey tied with vines in the clearing with excited expressions.
Shan, whose face was extremely pale due to excessive blood loss, now had a flush of excitement on his face.
Even though she knew that she would be praised by everyone if she went over, she had to go over and say hello.
"Father..." She walked over and greeted them one by one.
Shan was fine, looking at his daughter with only pride in his eyes, and said nothing. However, Lu and Shi were generous with their praise, praising her from beginning to end.
After Lu and Shi finished praising him, Shan asked Qiao Yu, "Can you teach others how to set a condom?"
"Of course." Qiao Yu said, "Besides setting traps, I also want to teach you how to make snares."
She explained the traps to the others and said, "Traps have to be reset every day, which takes a long time, and you can only hunt one or two animals in each location. Traps are different. They can be used for a long time, and any passing animal will fall into them. The harvest is much greater than traps."
The eyes of the three men suddenly lit up like stars, their scorching gazes almost piercing through Qiao Yu.
They have been hunting all their lives and are smart people. They knew that Qiao Yu's idea was brilliant.
Lu said excitedly: "This is a great idea. Yu, what's wrong with your brain? How are you so smart?"
Qiao Yu waved his hands and sighed, "But we don't have any tools to dig the soil."
The three of them fell into deep thought, looking troubled.
"I'll think of a way," Qiao Yu said. "Even though we don't have the right tools, we have more people and if we spend more time, we can definitely dig a few holes."
"Okay." When Lu heard that Qiao Yu could find a solution, a look of hope appeared on his face again.
He was worried about putting too much pressure on Qiao Yu, so he soothed her, "But don't worry. If it doesn't work out, we'll just set a trap. Setting a trap is already good enough. If the trap is hard to dig, we can wait until the trade fair and see if there's anything like this to trade."
Shi Ye nodded repeatedly. "Yes, we have traps for hunting, farming, and we're trying new foods. This winter our tribe will have a good life. There's no need to rush."
"Yes, don't be anxious, take your time. You are already much better than your father. Don't push yourself too much." Shan Dao said.
"Okay, I understand." Qiao Yu smiled, feeling warm in his heart.
After saying goodbye to a few people, she walked to the open space and called out to the members of the hunting party who were bragging: "Except for those who killed the prey, everyone else take the stone knives and follow me. We will try to make a tool to use in making new traps tomorrow."
Everyone immediately stopped talking, stood up and followed Qiao Yu out.
The people who slaughtered the prey looked on with envy, wishing they could put down their prey and follow them out.
"Okay, let us do the skinning, you guys go out." Lu, Shi, several elderly women, and several people from the breeding team came over to take over their work.
The people from the second and third hunting teams and the gathering team have not returned, and these are the only people left in the tribe.
"Then thank you for your help. Let's go out and take a look." After washing their hands, several people hurriedly chased after him.
Lu and Shi felt even more emotional when they saw this scene.
When Yu became the leader yesterday, they were worried that these men would not accept his orders. Unexpectedly, in just one day, Yu had accomplished such a great feat, winning over almost the entire tribe.
Now, even Huo and Qinglang wouldn’t dare to say they were dissatisfied, right?
Shu followed him out, while Shan was still half-leaning in the grass. Lu and Shi Tebi brought the prey to him and talked with him. The three of them were some distance away from the others.
Shan glanced at the crowd in the distance and saw that they were still discussing the trap. They were excited and talking loudly. He asked Lu softly, "What is Huo doing today?"
