The entire Qingque tribe was so shocked by the fish cage that the eldest brother got up early the next morning and rubbed his hands with the other people in the hunting team as he looked at Han Cheng and the fish cage enshrined in front of the totem pole.
They wanted to see with their own eyes the beauty of catching fish with the fish cage given by God.
Han Cheng knew what they were thinking, so he took the fish cage and went out. As a result, everyone else in the cave wanted to follow him to see the miracle.
Even the most stable witches are no exception.
My luck today was not very good. When I came back from the creek, I only caught eight fish.
However, this was enough to shock the senior brothers, because it was still early and not even half of the morning had been used up.
Moreover, after the fish cage was put into the water, the wife of the eldest brother, who was the best at spearing fish in the tribe, under the arrangement of the eldest brother, took a simple harpoon and started to fish from twenty meters away.
In the same amount of time, she only caught three fish!
The advantages of fish cages are fully demonstrated after comparison!
After collecting the fish cages, the eldest brother, who was already in a frenzy, led other equally frenzied people to find suitable wooden sticks without Han Cheng's instructions.
The other people in the cave were making ropes with the rope grass.
After collecting all the materials, Han Cheng started to make fish cages again, and selected three more dexterous people in the tribe to teach, including Bo.
By night, the Qingque tribe had four more fish cages, adding the original one, a total of five!
The usefulness of the fish cage far exceeded Wu's imagination.
Because Han Cheng had woven a net at the mouth of the fish cage that allowed fish to enter and exit, once the fish entered the cage, there was no need to pull it out in a hurry, and the fish would not be able to escape.
So one person doesn't have to guard a fish cage all the time.
One person can take care of three or even four fish cages and is completely capable of handling the job.
The person looking after the fish cages only needs to stay on the shore, then pull the fish cages out of the water one by one every once in a while, take out the fish inside, and then put the fish cages back into the water.
Moreover, because the fish cage is left in the water for a long time, sometimes there will be two or even three fish in it when the fish cage is pulled out!
One man was guarding the fish cage, and he sent two people to transport the fish to the tribe. At the end of the day, the tribe could not finish eating all the caught fish in two days!
The food problem, which had been weighing on everyone's mind and making them dare not relax at all, was solved by these small fish cages and the minors in the three tribes!
this……
This is truly a miracle!
Looking at the fish piled up in the cave and the fish cages neatly placed in the most conspicuous place in the tribe, everyone had a sincere smile on their face.
They don’t have to be busy all day and worry about not having enough food!
These are all gifts from God and His Son!
The advent of the fish cage made Han Cheng's prestige in the tribe even higher, far surpassing that of the eldest brother who was the leader, and even higher than the wise witch in the tribe.
However, Han Cheng was not proud of anything because in his opinion it was not worth being proud of.
He treated Wu and other people the same as usual, respectful when necessary and approachable when necessary.
But everyone in the tribe respects him from the bottom of their hearts.
The weather is hot now, and we catch too many fish every day. If we can’t eat them, they will go bad.
However, Han Cheng still did not reduce the number of fish cages put into the water.
But what is different from the past is that the caught fish are not carried back to the cave directly, but are cleaned on the spot by the creek, then rubbed with salt and dried on the river beach, cleared flat land, and vacant pottery firing area.
This is to make dried salted fish.
Those responsible for doing these things are some minors in the tribe who can do light work, women with weaker constitutions, and of course, the lame.
Han Cheng did not allow people to throw away the fish viscera and scales at random. Instead, he dug some pits 20 meters away from the river bank and close to the downstream. The viscera cleaned out every day were thrown into these pits. When it was time to finish work in the evening, he would first throw some dry grass on the viscera, and then cover them evenly with a layer of soil.
Continue in this way, and after leveling one pit, move on to the next one.
Han Cheng's actions are certainly not in vain.
This can protect the environment by preventing the riverside from being cluttered with fish entrails, and it can also serve as fertilizer.
In the fall, he was planning to plant a crop of rapeseed. Now that he had the opportunity, he naturally had to make some preparations in advance.
The construction of the wall is a huge project for today's tribe. Han Cheng roughly calculated the workload and found that even by autumn, it would not be completely built.
Autumn is the season for storing food. In order to avoid the construction of the wall being greatly affected by food storage problems, Han Cheng takes advantage of the hot weather to dry more fish.
In the tribe's food storage area, thirteen large vats enclosed the area. Under Han Cheng's guidance, a layer of newly made and dried mud was spread out in the enclosed space, and on top of the mud was a layer of broken animal skins, and on top of the animal skins was a thick layer of hay.
This is the place where the dried fish is stored.
With these three layers of protection, it will not be easy for moisture to rise from the ground and catch the dried fish!
As for the empty tanks surrounding it, they are also used to store food.
These vats are also padded with adobe bricks.
Storing food in this way not only has a good moisture-proof effect, but also saves a lot of space.
Now that he no longer had to worry about food every day, Han Cheng put the wall he had planned on the agenda.
Han Cheng didn't want to build the wall smaller, because after building the wall, he wanted to build houses inside the wall and build some pens for raising livestock. At the same time, he wanted to leave enough space for the people in the tribe to rest and play in peace.
It is precisely because the wall is not easy to build that Han Cheng wants to build it well. Otherwise, if he spends a lot of effort now, but fails to keep up with the situation in a few years, and then has to push it to be expanded again, the loss will be huge!
He has been wandering around outside the tribe these two days. Taking the terrain into consideration, he can basically build a wall that is 300 meters wide from north to south and 500 meters long from east to west.
Because the northernmost side of the wall is the mountain wall where the tribal cave is located, and the mountain wall on this side is high enough, there is no need to build a wall.
In other words, you only need to build two 300-meter walls and one 500-meter wall to create a safe space for the tribe!
