In addition to this reason, Han Cheng asked the trade team to transport limestone for another reason. As the tribe's land continued to expand, fertilizer became more precious.
Apart from fermented manure, wood ash is the best fertilizer in the tribe, so Han Cheng is reluctant to give it away.
Another reason is that earth cement made from wood ash is actually not as effective as lime mixed with sand.
The members of the trading team left. In addition to food, the most items they took this time were bronze axes, ropes, and sickles.
What was different from the previous route was that this time they first walked down the small river in front of the Qingque tribe for a distance. After meeting a tributary on the south side of the gradually widening river, they followed this tributary all the way south.
This tributary can flow all the way to where there is limestone...
After seeing off the members of the trading team, Han Cheng led the staggering Little Pea towards the vegetable garden.
“Dad, Dad…”
The little guy walked along the way, shouting all the way with his little mouth, like a tape recorder.
Little Pea is almost two years old and can say many short sentences.
Especially when calling dad and mom, the voice is particularly clear.
Han Cheng led Little Pea all the way to the vegetable garden. Hearing Little Pea's childish voice calling for dad, he couldn't help but smile. After all, this was what he had "exchanged" for with the call of dad before...
In the vegetable garden, the cabbages that were artificially bound had already grown a stalk from the middle, with some tiny flower buds growing on it, and looked not much different from rapeseed.
However, after years of artificial selection and cultivation, these Chinese cabbages are very different from ordinary rapeseed, at least in size.
The taste is also better than ordinary rapeseed.
If this trend continues, Han Cheng’s wish of being able to eat good cabbage in his lifetime will come true.
Not far from the cabbage, a field of radishes also sprouted, and some were more urgent and had already bloomed white flowers.
Cabbage and radish are two of the best vegetables for wintering.
After both are successfully cultivated, in early winter, I will pickle jars of Chinese cabbage and radish strips and eat them with millet porridge. Just thinking about it makes me happy...
While Han Cheng was squatting in front of the vegetable garden, drooling as he imagined the future, the leader of the Sheep Tribe, who was not too far from the Qingque Tribe but not too close, was also imagining the future with a happy face.
The leader of the Sheep Tribe at this time seemed to be younger than before.
Of course, there is a reason for this. First, they got things like pottery jars from the Qingque tribe, so they can eat hot and stomach-nourishing meals in the winter.
Secondly, they were inspired by the Qingque tribe and no longer killed all the sheep hunted in late autumn at once, but instead killed them while eating.
This move directly saved him and many people in his tribe from suffering from stomach upset in the winter.
Not only did fewer people die, but people also seemed more energetic.
The leader of the Sheep Tribe stood on a stone, holding a sharpened stick weapon in his hand, with a rope tied to the top of the stick weapon.
In front of him was a group of sheep grazing.
There are a lot of these sheep, which is their great achievement in the past few years. It is also the most fundamental reason why the leader of the sheep tribe has a happy face.
Around the flock of sheep, there were some people from the Sheep Tribe standing scattered around, most of them holding the same things as the leader of the Sheep Tribe.
In the large circle they had spread out and gathered in, the sheep were grazing quietly with their heads down.
There were also some who were not very honest, but most of them were tied up with ropes by these people.
As the size of the tribe's sheep flocks continued to grow, the people of the sheep tribe no longer went out hunting as often as before.
Because of the sheep they raised, they could get mutton to eat anytime.
Of course, it is impossible to survive by eating only mutton. There are quite a few sheep in their tribe now, but if they eat mutton all day long, they will not be able to survive for too long.
Some wild vegetables and fruits are essential supplements.
But no matter what, the Sheep Tribe is now living a much better life than before.
Moreover, as the amount of food in the tribe increased, the number of newborn babies in the tribe gradually increased, and the survival rate of newborn babies was far higher than before.
For example, last year, more babies were born and survived in their tribe than in the previous two years combined.
Whenever the leader of the Sheep Tribe thought of this incident, he couldn't help but smile.
Because if this trend continues, the number of people in the tribe will become larger and larger, and the tribe will become richer and richer.
When he thought of these things, he often recalled his previous plan to snatch the Son of God, as well as the scene of the Bone Tribe attacking the Green Bird Tribe, which he saw not too far from the Green Bird Tribe.
Several years have passed, but the leader of the Sheep Tribe still feels very fortunate every time he thinks of it.
Because if I had walked faster that time, I would have been the one to die. Now, I can't live like this anymore.
Now when the leader of the Sheep Tribe thinks of that rich and powerful tribe, he will no longer lose his happiness because of it.
Because this tribe is developing too fast!
It was so fast that he no longer had the slightest desire to compare himself with others.
Perhaps the state of mind of the Sheep Tribe leader at this moment can also be described as having suffered too many blows from the Green Bird Tribe and has gradually become numb.
Now, he only cares about the great progress of his tribe compared to before, and doesn't think about the fact that he is working hard but the gap between him and the Qingque tribe is getting bigger and bigger.
In fact, things are like this a lot of the time. There are differences between people, and sometimes the differences are very big. This is something that must be acknowledged.
Except for a very small number of people who are negligible, no matter what aspects you compare, you will find that there will always be someone better than you.
In this situation, if you only focus on the gap between yourself and others, you will often feel depressed.
It's a truth that comparing yourself with others will make you feel nauseous.
So sometimes, you need to turn your attention to yourself and see if you have made any progress compared to before. This is the best standard to measure whether a person has made progress or not.
After walking for several days, the trading team of the Qingque tribe finally arrived at a place where there was a large amount of limestone.
After arriving here, the members of the trading team did not start mining directly, but went to a nearby tribe first.
