The emergence of improved paper made the three charlatans of different sizes in the Qingque tribe inexplicably excited.

After staying here for a while and confirming that the previous method was feasible, Shitou turned around and went into the snow again, running back to the cave to continue using water to boil the fermented bark.

He wants to make better paper!

Han Cheng and Wu stayed in the house for a while, put away the pens, inkstones, and papers on the table, and then walked into the snowstorm and headed towards the cave to see how stone paper was made...

The two men stared at the large clay jar that was burning in flames with burning eyes.

However, they were thinking completely different things. One was thinking of getting better paper to re-transcribe everything written on the ceramic plate, while the other was thinking of taking the paper into the toilet.

If the ancient sages who valued paper knew what was going on in this guy's head, they would probably scratch the coffin lid and teach this guy a lesson for wasting such a good thing...

Two days later, the location changed to the Huangguo Tribe, which was a certain distance away from the Qingque Tribe.

The Huangguo tribe in winter, like most tribes of this era, lacks vitality.

It's not their fault. The cold weather has prevented them from going out. The cats have been staying in the cave for a long time without moving much, which has made their bodies stiff, slow and powerless, as if they were completely frozen by the cold weather.

Moreover, long-term frugality has made them all thinner. There is not much food in their stomachs, which makes them even weaker and more powerless.

Steam was bubbling out of the propped-up pottery jar, and the fragrance of food spread throughout the cave, attracting everyone's attention.

After cooking for a while, the leader of the Huangguo tribe walked to the pottery jar and impatiently used a spoon to scoop out a large bowl of food for himself.

When he served the rice, he put the spoon to the bottom of the jar, and his movements were slow.

After several years of experience using the ceramic jar, he, who often served rice, realized that this method could allow the food to be served thicker.

Compared with hot soup, this kind of food is more filling and filling.

The food was millet porridge. Compared with the sticky and golden millet porridge cooked by the Qingque tribe, the millet porridge of the Huangguo tribe did not look very good.

Because there are some other things mixed in these porridges.

These were the few fruits left in their tribe, some of which had already gone bad.

This golden food was exchanged with the tribe that owned deer, precious salt and pottery after they came here two days ago.

Fortunately, the tribe arrived at this time, otherwise, their days would have been extremely difficult.

Because there was very little food left in their tribe, even though they were already eating very frugally.

At this time, there is still no sign that winter will pass.

The leader of the Huangguo tribe, who was extremely worried about this, had already made plans to take his men out in the severe cold to try their luck.

Even if this is done, many people may suffer frostbite or even freeze to death.

It was under such circumstances that the kind and wealthy tribesman arrived, leading a deer and bringing a wolf.

The deer they led were loaded with not only salt and pottery, but also food which was extremely precious at that time.

If possible, the leader of the Huangguo tribe would definitely exchange all the food brought by the kind-hearted people of this tribe.

But this is obviously an idea that cannot be realized.

Because there are not many things in their tribe that can be used for exchange.

After several previous transactions, the common stones and seeds around the tribe had basically been exchanged for salt and pottery.

It is not easy to find new stones and seeds.

As for the yellow fruit that was very popular among the people of that tribe, they had all been exchanged last year and there was nothing left in the tribe.

These few yellow foods were obtained by exchanging a new stone and a new seed that they had found with great difficulty, as well as the few animal skins in the tribe.

According to previous trading experience, what they had could not even be exchanged for this much food. It was the kind people of that tribe who gave them some extra.

The leader of the Huangguo tribe and other people in the tribe were very grateful for this kind gesture.

But there are too many people in the tribe who need to eat, and the new food cannot last long.

Only a few days had passed, and there was not much food left from the exchange, even though they had been eating very frugally.

The leader of the Huangguo tribe scooped himself a bowl of thick soup, then walked aside with the bowl to eat this precious food.

After he left, other people from the tribe came forward and took their turn to serve food.

Basically, the people who came to get the food were just like the leader of the Huangguo tribe, scooping close to the bottom.

As a result, by the time later generations arrived, there was basically only soup left.

At such times, minors have to line up in front of the two elderly people in the tribe to eat, because the elderly are no longer of much use, unlike minors who can grow up and become strong people in the tribe.

When it was the two old men's turn, there was not much soup left in the pottery jar, so they divided it equally, with each getting only half a bowl, without even a mouthful of the millet grains mixed in it.

The leader of the Huangguo tribe, who had eaten the food in the bowl, opened the cave entrance and went out to take a look, then immediately retreated with his shoulders hunched.

Walking to the place where the food was stored, the leader of the Huangguo tribe frowned.

He once again recalled what the kind and wealthy tribesman had conveyed a few days ago.

That is, if you can't make ends meet, you can follow them to their tribe. There is plenty of food in their tribe, so you won't starve to death.

After understanding these meanings, the leader of the Huangguo tribe refused without thinking too much.

He didn't want to abandon his tribe and join another tribe with his people.

Even though the tribe seemed so wealthy and kind.

But as the food became less and less, the tribesmen became weaker and weaker, and there was no sign of winter passing, the words of the kind tribesman appeared in his mind more and more frequently.

At this point, he felt that it was not impossible to lead people to join that tribe.

The people from that tribe have already left, so even if I want to join them now, I can't find a way...

This made the leader of the Huangguo tribe feel a little regretful.
