With the Green Tribe leader's beautiful expectations, the first batch of millet planted by the Green Bird Tribe has sprouted, and the second batch of millet was also planted today.

The tiny millet seedlings are tender green, and are very similar to the common foxtail grass and other types of grass in later generations.

But once they grow up, you can tell the difference between them.

Millet can produce food that fills people’s stomachs, while the wild grasses that were previously thought to be not much worse than millet only have a few seeds that are not valued by people.

It's been about the same half year, but there's a big difference in what we've gained.

The people from the Donkey Tribe came again. This was their third visit since the beginning of spring, two more times than the other tribes.

Moreover, they were different from several other tribes who basically only wanted salt and rarely brought food, furs and other things to exchange for pottery.

Every time the people from the Donkey Tribe came, they would bring a lot of furs and a lot of food.

These furs and food would be exchanged for pottery and taken back.

Han Cheng calculated that up to now, the amount of pottery that the people of the Donkey Tribe have exchanged from the Green Bird Tribe is already the largest among the surrounding tribes.

It is larger than the Bone Tribe, whose population is comparable to that of the Green Bird Tribe, and the richest Sheep Tribe.

Could it be that I had misjudged them from the beginning? The Donkey Tribe was not only not the poorest, but also the richest among the surrounding tribes?

Is he a dog owner who is hiding deep in the dark?

Han Cheng was puzzled as he watched the people of the Donkey Tribe leaving behind a pile of things and walking out of the gate to the east with the pottery they had exchanged.

Today, the people of the Qingque tribe did not go to the fields to work, but went to the salt mountain with some tools and weapons.

Providing salt to several tribes free of charge caused the salt reserves of their tribes to be consumed quickly.

Especially the people from the Donkey Tribe, every time they came and went, they would bring a lot of salt. This time they directly brought three jars. Han Cheng strongly suspected that these guys were eating salt as food.

“Boom boom boom…”

“Clatter…”

The people of the Qingque tribe were already very familiar with boiling salt. After arriving at the salt mountain, some people smashed the salt ore, some were responsible for filtering, and some were boiling it over fire.

Nowadays, the people of the Qingque tribe no longer carry the salt ore back to boil it as they did before, as that was simply too much trouble.

Instead, he brought his tools directly to the salt mountain and cooked it there.

It is much easier to bring back finished salt than to bring back salt ore.

The place where salt is actually boiled is not actually in the Salt Mountain, but rather next to a spring not far from the Salt Mountain.

This is the place where Han Cheng, Tietou and others poured water and sprinkled salt into the pottery jar in order to lure Uncle Deer and the others.

This spring was not very abundant and was not enough to make salt.

However, such a thing obviously does not pose a problem for Han Cheng.

When he led his senior brother and others to dig the spring half a meter deep, and dug a reservoir more than half a meter deep and five square meters in size not far away, they no longer lacked water for boiling salt.

Near the spring, a piece of open space was cleared, on which three fires were burning, and above each fire was a large vat for boiling salt.

As the water evaporates, the salt that melts in the water will condense at the bottom of the tank...

Water is the source of all things. Where there is water in the mountains and forests, there will generally be more birds and beasts. There are many footprints left on the wetlands around the reservoirs and springs.

However, the birds and beasts that came to drink water today are destined to return disappointed, because this water source has been occupied by a group of domineering monkeys.

Not only can these monkeys walk on only two legs, they can also make all kinds of strange things, especially the red, jumping things, which are the most frightening to animals...

Boiling salt directly in the salt mountain is very efficient. In five days, the Qingque tribe not only made up for the deficit, but also had eight more jars of salt than before.

This salt will be enough to last for a long time.

After Han Cheng and the others leave, the people who remain in the tribe will no longer have to worry about salt.

The weather was getting warmer day by day. When the last batch of millet was planted, the rapeseed field had already grown up and was almost half a meter high.

Some impatient ones have already blossomed with golden dots.

Many things in the world will happen as they should. Simply avoiding them is not a very smart solution. It will only make your heart panic, but you will not gain much in other aspects.

Han Cheng, who no longer had any other reasons, was finally about to embark on his first real journey since coming to this world.

"Bang bang bang..."

This was not the sound of clappers that sounded when someone came to the tribe, but the sound of Bo using a stone knife, stone chisel and wooden stick to make the last spare oar.

The construction of oars is necessary, otherwise how can we move forward? We can't just rely on the waves, right?

Although Han Cheng was a little bit introverted sometimes, his skills were far from enough to make the boat wave, so he had no choice but to build the oars honestly.

A total of four canoes of the Green Bird Tribe have been launched and are now parked at a temporary dock next to the creek in front of the tribe.

The cable was tied to a large wooden peg nailed to the shore. Several canoes were crowded together, floating up and down in a small range with the waves, which was very rhythmic.

The eldest brother, Shang, and the younger brother Sha held oars tied with leather ropes under their arms, pulled the ropes, and pulled the canoe to the shore. As the boat swayed back and forth, they came onto the boat.

After more than ten days of practice and familiarity, the eldest brother and others are now able to face this degree of shaking and floating calmly, and their legs will no longer tremble unconsciously as before.

There will be no worries about "the boat being crushed and sinking to the bottom of the water after you come up."

On both sides of the bow of the canoe, there is a tree stick about 20 centimeters higher than the canoe body. On the upper side of each of the four sticks in total for each canoe, there is a tree branch.

After the eldest brother stepped onto the wooden boat, he skillfully hung the oar in his arms on the wooden fork.

Then he started to accept bottles and cans handed over from the shore.

These are the things they prepared in advance for this long journey.

The most prepared item was food. In addition to the jars placed at the beginning, there were also a lot of pickled and dried salted fish and bacon.

Among them, there are clay pots for cooking and boiling water, and bowls for serving rice.

Weapons such as bows and arrows, rattan shields, slings, spears, and javelins would naturally not be left behind.

All these things they carried were placed separately, with some on each of the four canoes. This was to prevent them from losing all their supplies, getting into trouble, or even being wiped out if any of the canoes encountered an accident.
