It is very necessary to teach the people of the original pig tribe to learn the lifestyle of the green bird tribe and learn to speak Mandarin.

Firstly, compared with their original living habits, these things are healthier and more beneficial to people themselves. Secondly, these can enable them to truly integrate into the Qingque tribe.

Han Cheng did not directly intervene in the matter of the people of the original pig tribe learning to speak Mandarin, but delegated it to Shitou.

Among the children taught by Han Cheng, Shitou is the most talented in language and writing.

Up to now, Shitou has basically mastered all the commonly used Chinese characters and can speak Mandarin fluently.

It is more than enough for him to teach these people from the original pig tribe.

The three captured female primitives also received training at the same time.

Because it was winter, the wounds were not easily infected, and because primitive people were tough, all three women survived.

Among them, the one who recovered the fastest was Ruhua, whose stomach was pierced by a stone spear and her intestines were flowing out.

By now, she looks no different from a normal person.

The other two female primitive people whose legs were injured looked very uncomfortable. Their bones were damaged to varying degrees. Although the injuries were not fatal, recovery would be much more difficult. Even if their injuries were completely healed, they would still be left with some disabilities, which would definitely affect their walking.

Because the injuries of the two girls were on their left and right legs respectively, Han Cheng called them "Left Lame" and "Right Lame".

In other words, including Lame, who is extremely skilled in weaving rafts and fish cages, the Qingque tribe now has three Lames.

Han Cheng's original idea for these three prisoners of war was to treat them as female slaves of the tribe, but as time went on, the people in the Qingque tribe no longer had much hostility towards them, and they also got used to living in the Qingque tribe.

Now a group of people from the Pig Tribe came in, and there were more men than women. Based on the principle that land should not be left idle and seeds should not be left idle, Han Cheng abolished their status as slaves and gave the left and right lame people to two men from the original Pig Tribe as spouses.

As for Ruhua, she was given by Han Chengfen to Tietou, who still has no wife.

From Han Cheng's perspective, Ruhua really looks like a flower, but in the eyes of Tietou and the others, Ruhua is also really like a flower. For Tietou, who has always been resentful about the beautiful Zhuang being married off by Heiwa, Ruhua, who looks similar to Zhuang, is indeed a good companion for him.

Besides, Ruhua is not very old, not much older than Tietou.

At the beginning, Ruhua looked extremely haggard and worn due to her injuries and long hours of walking in the snow. Now, after nearly a month of recuperation in the Qingque tribe, with good food and drink every day, she has become radiant.

However, after Tietou and Ruhua confirmed their relationship, Han Cheng did not let them live together. The reason was that the wound on Ruhua's stomach had not healed completely. If they could not resist the temptation of the primitive ditty at night and joined in singing, it would be like a fierce bull meeting a fat field, and the wound on Ruhua's stomach would be torn open, which would be a big deal!

The people of the original pig tribe looked rather weak due to hunger and long journey in the ice and snow, so Han Cheng let them rest for three days.

Three days later, he began to join the Qingque tribe in their winter labor.

Considering that they had not fully recovered yet and were unfamiliar with many things in the Qingque tribe, Han Cheng did not let them do any heavy work at the beginning. Instead, he followed the minors in the tribe to collect tree branches outside the tribal wall to provide raw materials for them to weave fences.

The former leader of the Pig Tribe, now Shang, discovered that there was a reason why this tribe was rich. In the middle of winter, when he and others were hiding in the tribe to sleep, the people of this tribe were still working.

Shang has now gotten used to the change in his identity. In this vibrant tribe, his spirit has become exceptionally good.

However, Shang also had worries, not for himself, but for the entire Qingque tribe.

The addition of these ten people greatly accelerated the consumption of food stored in the Qingque tribe. Plus, the Qingque tribe only ate three meals a day, so the food was consumed even faster.

As a tribal leader who had once been afraid of hunger, he was very concerned and attentive to the issue of food.

He was worried that the wealthy tribe would also fall into a food crisis. Seeing the food decreasing day by day and the cold winter showing no sign of passing, Shang, after hesitating for a long time, finally told his concerns to his eldest brother.

What surprised Shang was that this leader, who didn't look any stupider, not only showed no worry after hearing his words, but also burst into laughter.

Shang was very puzzled about this matter.

That afternoon, after all the fences on the roof of the deer pen were fixed, the eldest brother led his men to the frozen river with straw baskets and broke the thick ice. While he was shocked, he also understood the confidence of the tribe...

Because there were ten additional adult laborers, the fence on the deer pen was completed four days earlier than expected.

Because they had to start digging a lot of soil in the spring to improve the roof of the deer pen, raise the walls and build houses, the people of the Green Bird tribe did not rest for too long and continued to work on making bone shovels intermittently.

Bo did not proceed with the production of the bone shovel, not because he was too skilled to do such a job, but because he was studying and learning how to weave straw baskets, and the samples were the ones left by the Tengshe tribe.

A straw basket is much more useful than a pottery jar or animal skin package for carrying fish, fruit, or soil. It is light, not easily broken, and can hold more things.

In addition, it was because of his excellent craftsmanship that Bo was able to improve his status in the tribe, so he paid more attention to this kind of thing.

In fact, at the beginning, after seeing the straw basket, Han Cheng wanted Bo to weave not a straw basket, but a wooden basket woven with flexible wooden strips.

In Han Cheng's hometown after his death, this kind of wooden basket woven with wooden strips was called "Liantou", which is a basket two sizes larger. The one that is two sizes larger than the Liantou is called a Caolou.

The reason why it is called a straw basket is that this extra-large basket can only be used to hold light items such as firewood and hay. Other heavy items will not be able to be lifted if they are put in a straw basket.

There was naturally a reason why Han Cheng changed his mind temporarily and gave up the wooden basket which was more sturdy, durable and easy to use.

Actually, it is very simple to explain. Once winter comes, the branches of trees will become brittle. They can be used to make fences, but they are not suitable for weaving baskets because they will break as soon as they are woven.

Therefore, at present we can only try to make straw baskets, and then start weaving wooden baskets after the tree branches gradually become soft in spring.
