(Additional chapters for book lovers’ book Eden/5)
Such a conversion ratio is a bit too complicated for the old primitive people.
Han Cheng explained it to Mao, and after making sure that Mao understood what he meant, he asked Mao to convey it to the old primitive people.
Mao pointed at the things written on the wooden board and talked for a while. Seeing that the old primitive people still didn't understand, he scratched his hair and led the old primitive people to the bronze highway that had been built for some distance.
After letting Shitou measure a length of 100 meters with a ruler and circle it with lime powder, he pointed to the distance and then to a large spoonful of salt scooped out of the salt jar, and then talked for a long time before making them understand that they could get these after building a road of this distance.
After making sure that some of the old primitive people understood the exchange, Mao took out five more bowls, and then pointed at these five normal-sized pottery bowls and continued to convey it to the old primitive people in his own way.
With the understanding of salt, the old primitive people understood more quickly that building a road of such a distance could be exchanged for five precious pottery bowls.
However, although it seemed that the old primitive people had already understood it, Han Cheng still asked Mao to demonstrate it to them again several times to make sure that they really understood it.
Because he was worried that the old primitive people would understand it as building a hundred meters of road and getting so many things at the same time.
If this is true, then misunderstandings may arise in the future.
In fact, at the beginning, Han Cheng wanted to calculate it according to the number of days, but after thinking about it, he changed it to the current method of more work, more pay.
This may prevent some people from being lazy.
Although according to the honest character of these people, they basically will not do this, but there is always nothing wrong in taking precautions in advance.
The old primitive people looked at the salt jars, pottery bowls, and the yellow food on the roadside, and then looked at the road circled with lime, which seemed to be only a short distance away, and their eyes lit up.
They all knew how delicious and useful salt and pottery were. The old primitive man and the other five people from the Wind Tribe had also eaten that yellow food and were deeply impressed by it. This food was especially delicious when paired with the dishes made by the Green Bird Tribe.
These are all good things!
Now, they only need to build a road of this distance to get these things. It would be strange if their eyes did not light up.
Even under the stimulation of these things, the old primitive people are now eager to start building roads.
The old primitive man stretched out his left hand, looked at the fingers on his left hand for a while, thought for a while, then stretched out his right hand, put his two hands together, and then he showed a satisfied smile.
He felt that with the people in his tribe, he could build as many roads divided into sections as the fingers on his two hands in a day.
After learning about the old primitive man's ambitions from Mao who was standing beside him and translating, Han Cheng smiled.
When coming up with this 'payroll', Han Cheng referred to the speed at which his tribe built these roads.
Assuming that they are proficient in using various tools for road construction and are relatively skilled in road construction, the 20 adults in the tribe can only build a maximum of 100 meters a day if they only build dirt roads.
Now, there are twenty-two adults from the Wind Tribe and twenty-five from the Neighboring Wind Tribe.
With such a large number of people, a tribe wants to build one thousand meters a day. Do they really think they are human bulldozers and steamrollers?
However, although he thought so in his heart, Han Cheng did not let Mao tell these things to the old primitive people. It is always good to have such ambitions...
Sometimes, if you don’t try hard, you won’t experience what despair is.
In the evening, watching the old primitive people looking at two sections of roads that were only half built with a look of despair on their faces, Han Cheng suddenly came up with this toxic piece of chicken soup in his mind.
Thinking about how ambitious the old primitive people were before, and then looking at how they now seemed to have lost all their dreams, Han Cheng felt that this poisonous chicken soup still made sense...
When the old primitive people arrived on the first day, the accommodation had not been repaired yet. The adults rested in the yard of the Tongshan residential area that night, while the minors slept in the houses of the Qingque tribe.
Because the doors and windows of the houses of the Qingque tribe are made of coarse linen and bamboo strips to make window screens and door curtains, if mosquitoes run in, they will light straw ropes woven with mugwort to fumigate them, so there are basically no mosquitoes.
Lying on the flat and spacious earthen kang with a cool bamboo mat underneath, with a piece of soft fur on their bellies to prevent them from catching a cold, smelling the pleasant aroma left by the burning mugwort in the room, thinking of the delicious food, and the food called "canned food" that was so delicious that people would never forget it, and the amiable and kind smile of the noble Son of God, the minors from the Feng tribe and the neighboring Feng tribe who lived together felt that today's experience was just like a wonderful dream.
They immediately fell in love with this tribe that arrived for the first time.
As the night deepened, these minors gradually fell asleep amid the sound of people sleeping outside slapping mosquitoes with their hands.
For the first time in summer, they were not bitten by mosquitoes and slept very soundly. Some of the little ones saw something interesting in their dreams and laughed out loud...
The old primitive people obviously possessed the good quality of becoming more courageous when faced with setbacks. Yesterday, they were all hit hard, but this morning they got up early and ate two bowls of millet porridge with two chopsticks of cold wild vegetables. When they thought about the salt and other things they could exchange for after the road was repaired, they became full of energy again.
However, Han Cheng brought Mao and the others over and stopped the old primitive man.
Mao pointed at the long hair of the old primitive people, then pointed at the short hair of himself and others, and began to communicate with the old primitive people.
After this kind of communication went on for a while, the following scene appeared in the courtyard of the Qingque tribe:
Two people from the Wind Tribe sat on the wooden blocks with stiff bodies, and they had a piece of bare leather around their necks. Two people from the Green Bird Tribe held a wooden comb in one hand and a pair of bronze scissors in the other, and kept cutting.
As they moved, hair fluttered down, and if there was a large glass mirror in front, it would look more like a barber shop in modern times.
Next to them, the old primitive man, whose appearance had changed greatly, and another man who had just had his hair cut, kept touching their heads with their hands, looking curious.
It is comfortable to have your hair short. Not only does it feel comfortable when you touch it with your hands, but your head also feels lighter and more importantly, it feels cool!
You can feel the comfort of the wind cooling your scalp!
Seeing the old primitive men touching their heads and praising them endlessly, the others who were originally reluctant to have their hair cut also became tempted.
I want to experience the comfort of short hair as soon as possible.
Even the female primitives wanted to have a buzz cut like the male primitives.
However, Han Cheng did not allow this.
Because a man with a buzz cut has a big chest, Han Cheng feels uncomfortable just thinking about this situation.
The women's hair was also cut a little, but not too much, and the remaining hair was still above the waist.
Then, under the guidance of some female primitive people from the Tongshan residential area, they went downstream of the stream to wash their hair.
The fragrant and smooth soap smells good and should taste delicious too.
The female primitive people from the Feng Tribe and the Linfeng Tribe saw soap for the first time and drooled at the soap.
There was even a female primitive who couldn't help but take some off, secretly put it into her mouth and chewed it slowly. Then when she opened her mouth, bubbles came out of her mouth, which made the people around her laugh in good faith.
Under the instruction of the women of the Green Bird tribe, these primitive women understood the correct way to use soap.
After wetting your hair with stream water, take this fragrant and smooth stuff and apply it to your hair. Rub it with your hands for a while, and your hands and head will be covered with white foam.
Those who were washing their hair with soap for the first time looked at the white foam on their hands, then raised their heads to look at the white clouds floating in the blue sky. They were all surprised and full of curiosity.
Through this novel thing of the kind tribe, they actually took all the clouds in the sky into their hands!
After washing your hair, take a comb and start combing it.
女人们对梳子这些东西，总是有着一种天然的亲切，没用青雀部落的女人们示范两下，这两个部落的人，就已经都学会了使用梳子梳理头发。
等到头发干了之后，就在溪边开始编辫子。
风部落的不少女人们已经在那个三次来往于青雀部落铜山居住区的女原始人的教导下，学会了编辫子这个技能。
邻风部落的那些女原始人们不会，站在那里一脸的羡慕。
于是，青雀部落的女人们过来给她们编织，编完之后，还用被染成红色或者是黄色的麻布条做成的头绳，在尾端扎上一个漂亮的蝴蝶结，远远的看上去，就像是一只只漂亮的蝴蝶落在了她们的头发上，很是漂亮。
编了辫子、扎起了美丽的蝴蝶结的这些女人们看着水里面自己的倒影，一个个都看得有些呆了。
以往的时候，一直忙碌于生活，让她们不曾过多的关注过自己的形象。
现在善良的青雀部落的带领下，梳洗打扮了一番的她们，才忽然发现，原来她们居然是这样的好看。
等到从溪边回去的时候，这些面目一新的女人们，一边的往回走，一边叽叽喳喳的笑闹个不停。
虽然她们之间的语言不通，有人说的是普通话，有人说的是部落里简单而又拗口的语言，但不可否认的是，双方的交流很是欢快。
有些时候，女人们之间建立感情就是这样的容易，一根漂亮的头绳，一个新式的发型，都能大大的促进她们之间的感情，并能让她们为之兴奋的叽叽喳喳的谈论上许久。
这一点，不论是原始人还是后世的女人，都是如此。
只不过相对而言，习惯了集体生活的原始人们之间的快乐要更为的纯粹和简单一些。
两个部落的未成年人们，也一样都进行了这样的事情。
到溪水旁打着香皂洗了澡，又理了发的他们，一个个看起来就跟是换了一个人一样。
男孩子如同成年男性一样，都是短短的头发。
那些女孩子们，则在将头发剪到齐耳之后，扎上了两个羊角辫。
羊角辫的尾端同样用染色的麻布扎出来了两个蝴蝶结。
随着她们的跑动，弯弯的羊角辫一晃一晃的，上面扎着的蝴蝶结也随之上下舞动，看上去就真的如同两只飘亮的蝴蝶在趴在头发上，随之振翅起舞一样……
老原始人他们看着这些欢笑着奔跑的未成年人们，心中受到了一些触动。
他们突然间意识到，部落里的这些未成年人们很好看。
看着此时如此欢快的她们，再回想一下之前被饿的直哭的她们，连老原始人他们都觉得这样的一幕看着令人格外舒心，甚至于比自己吃到美味的食物都要舒心。
韩成看着这一幕也得非常的舒心。
这不仅仅是因为如果不开口的话，风部落和邻风部落的这些人看起来已经和自己部落的人没有什么区别了，更为重要的是，这些人都变得干净了，不再是之前那样，看着就让人难受。
“把这些都弄出去烧掉。”
韩成指着那一堆被剪下来的头发出声说道。
这个世界没有收头发的人，这些被剪掉的头发被弄出去烧掉韩成自然是一点都不心疼。
而且，就算是有收头发的这些人在，韩成也一样会将这些头发烧掉，因为这些诶被剪掉的头发里面，有着一些不可描述、令人浑身难受的小动物存在……
上午洗浴理发，下午的时候，两个部落的人开始继续修建落，韩成、石头等人在这里充当技术指导。
因为这是一条对青雀部落极为重要的道路，所以修建的时候，也就弄的格外的认真。
前面有人把草根、树根这些东西给弄出来，后面有人铲土进行平整。
这些都不是最为壮观的，最为壮观的是，那些喊着号子进行夯土的人。
“一二三呐！嘿吆~！”
“加油干呐！嘿吆~！”
“四五六啊！嘿吆~！”
“来吃肉啊！嘿吆~！”
随着响亮的号子声响起，被粗粗的麻绳捆绑住的石墩，随着人们手臂的扬起又落下，在空中翻飞，每一次的落下都会发出一声闷响，大地都随之微微颤抖。
那些刚刚被铲来的松散泥土，被沉重的石墩砸的往下凹陷下去不少。
号子是韩成弄出来的。
在进行夯土之类需要多人一起用力的活计的时候，喊着号子不仅仅提劲，而且还能够让众人一起发力，做到劲往一处使。
是一种非常好的办法。
只不过这两个部落的人都还没有学会说普通话，喊号子的人是青雀部落的人，这两个部落进行夯土的人，只负责进行‘嘿吆’。
看着脸红脖子粗的喊着号子的长腿，以及那些发出‘嘿吆’声，并将石墩弄上天的风部落两个部落的人，韩成忽然间就想起了后世的时候用歌曲霸占了广场舞的凤凰传奇……
路面夯过之后还没有结束，后面有人牵着青雀部落的毛驴，拉着碾场用的石磙来回的碾压……
在这两个部落的人，在这里修路的时候，青雀部落的贸易队，在韩成的命令下沿着之前开辟出来的道路，往前走了差不多十五里的距离，选择了一处相对平坦、靠近道路的地方，清理出来了一片的空地。
然后在这片空地之上，用砍伐下来的木头、树枝这些东西，仿照半农部落的那种半穴居的房屋，在这里修建房子。
这是搭建起来的工棚。
现在修建出来的道路还不算长，距离铜山居住区不远，这些人晚上的时候可以回到铜山小院进行休息，早上的时候再去接着干活。
但是等到道路修建的远了，在这样来回的跑来跑去可就不现实了。
所以韩成就让人在这里提前建设出来一个工棚来，为今后做准备。
不然是话，这外面荒郊野岭的，晚上住起来是真的不安全。
半农部落这种半穴居式的圆形建筑，修建起来简单，用来搭建这种临时居住的工棚最是合适不过。
在修建好的四座圆形房屋的周围，还用树枝、树桩这些东西圈出了一个小小的篱笆围墙。
一米多点的高度。
虽然低了些，但还是能够起到一定的防御作用。
在做这些事情时候，分别有一个风部落和邻风部落的人在这里观看，并参与到其中。
这是韩成有意安排的。
毕竟他们不能在这里呆太长的时间，也不能将这一路上所有需要的工棚都给搭建出来。
等到他们离开之后，再往后的工棚就需要这两个部落的人自己动手来建造了。
至于这种搭建房屋的方式会被这两个部落的人学去，韩成是一点都不担心，因为这并不是部落里的核心东西。
部落里最为核心的是种地。
在没有充足的食物支撑下，这种搭建房屋的技能被他们学去了也无关紧要。
而且，在韩成的计划里，这些部落的人，到时间可是能够成为自己人的。
这时候提前让他们学习到一些这样的东西，也无关紧要，因为迟早都是一个部落的。
这种圆顶的半穴居房屋虽然远远比不上在铜山居住区内见到的那种用石头、木梁这些东西建造出来的房屋雄伟高大，但是对于一直居住在洞穴之内、从来都不曾参与过房屋修建的那两个外部落的人而言，这种依靠着双手和常见的一些材料这些东西，硬生生的在平地上弄出来这种可以用来住人的‘洞穴’，还是觉得非常的新奇，甚至于可以称之为吃惊。
修建结束之后，这两个人看着出现在这里的几座圆顶小屋以及小屋周围的那一圈用树枝弄出来的篱笆，再低头看看自己的双手，一副不敢相信这些东西就是他们和这个善良部落的人一起，用手给建造起来的……
在每修建出来一百米的道路就能从青雀部落这里得到一些东西的前提下，老原始人他们很顺理成章的就将他们部落里这些未成年人也给用上了。
这些未成年人们，夯土当然不成，不过用来做上一些诸如清理草根树根之类的活计，还是可以的。
不过韩成并没有让这些未成年人们全天参加劳动，而是只参加半天。
剩下的半天也没有闲着，而是让轻轻松松就完成了丈量、并用石灰粉圈道路形状的石头，来教授他们说普通话和进行写字。
然后，再让这些未成年人们回去之后，教授他们部落的那些成年们说，只要求说普通话，汉字这种难度比较高的东西不强作要求。
老原始人他们见到自己部落的这些未成年人们，在这样的生活下过的这样欢快，虽然对被耽误掉的一些活觉得有些心疼，但对此还是持着非常支持的态度的。
就是这些小家伙们回来之后，总是教他们说一些这个部落比较拗口的话，这让老原始人他们，颇为的痛苦。
After the kind Son of God said that if these minors could learn these things from Stone, and that the Green Bird Tribe could provide half of the food subsidy for these minors every day, the old primitive people, who had few objections to begin with, became even less objectionable.
Han Cheng felt very happy when he saw the people from the two tribes who had the same hairstyle as his own tribe, worked hard for their tribe, and gradually learned to speak their own tribal language.
When he was alone in a place where no one could see him, Han Cheng would occasionally have a lewd smile on his face, looking like a fox that had stolen a chicken.
Looking at these people who were speaking Mandarin in a somewhat stiff manner, Han Cheng suddenly had the idea of how great it would be if all the tribes could speak Mandarin.
In this way, in the future, the descendants will not be tortured to death by the languages of other foreign tribes.
This is indeed a very good idea, Han Cheng thought with his chin in his hand. In his mind, there appeared a scene where a blond, blue-eyed, snow-white person and a black person who looked like he had just burned charcoal met each other, shook hands warmly, and then greeted each other in pure Mandarin, and then had a warm conversation. In the process, they occasionally uttered a few words such as "your uncle". He suddenly felt a wonderful scene.
However, if you want such a thing to actually happen, the difficulty level is more than ten times greater than cultivating rapeseed into real cabbage.
This is not only a series that would be difficult to complete in his lifetime, even if Little Pea, his son, and his grandson were included, it would still be a bit mysterious.
This is a task that can be passed down from generation to generation as a family heirloom!
Han Cheng brought Shang, Mao and others to stay here for another seven days. Seeing that some things had been settled and the remaining things only needed to be done step by step without any problems, he explained some things that needed attention to him to Junior Brother Sha and others, and prepared to leave here and return to the Qingque main tribe.
This time they were out for quite a while.
However, Shitou, a high-end technician, needed to stay. He was mainly responsible for measuring the roads and outlining the roads for the people from the two tribes to build.
At the same time, the work of the people of these two tribes was recorded, and their "wages" were paid to them when they needed them.
The quality of the roads built by these two tribes must also be checked.
In addition to these three things, another important task is to continue teaching these minors to learn Mandarin and Chinese characters.
Shi Tou was not unfamiliar with teaching these things and was very good at it because he often did these things when he was in the main tribe. Later, most of the people who joined the Qingque tribe were taught to speak Mandarin by Shi Tou.
Junior Brother Sha and other people in the Tongshan residential area seemed very reluctant to see Han Cheng and his group leave.
Because of the days when the Son of God was around, they felt very relieved and safe. It was a feeling of having a backbone, which could not be replaced by the Green Bird Flag.
Not only them, but also the old primitive people and other hired workers who were building roads for the Qingque tribe showed some reluctance and panic when they learned that Han Cheng and others were about to leave the Tongshan residential area and go to another residential area of the tribe.
These days, they have become accustomed to the existence of this kind Son of God.
With the Son of God here, everything will be arranged in an orderly manner...
Even more reluctant than them were the minors from the two tribes.
After all, during this period of time, Han Cheng was the person from the Qingque tribe who had the most contact with them, except for Shi Tou.
And when they have nothing to do, they will take them to play some games or open a can of food.
Treat them very kindly.
Here with Han Cheng, these minors experienced something they had never experienced before.
Therefore, after learning that Han Cheng was about to leave, it would be strange if they were willing to let him go.
Some older minors couldn't help but wipe away their tears.
They had once migrated with the tribe and thought that Han Cheng would never come back and they would never see the respected Son of God again.
After learning about the little guys' thoughts, Han Cheng felt a lump in his throat. He helped wipe their tears and comforted them with a smile.
"I will come over when the time comes, and we can still see each other. And when this road is repaired, it will be very close from here to our other residence. If you want to see me when the time comes, just keep walking along this road."
Mao translated the meaning of Han Cheng's words to them. After the minors understood Han Cheng's meaning, they felt much better.
After staying here for a while, Han Cheng led the trading team out of the Tongshan residential area and headed towards the location of the Qingque main tribe along a road that was more than three miles long.
The minors from the two tribes and the old primitive people followed Junior Brother Sha and the people from the Tongshan residential area and were sent to the end of the road.
After Han Cheng's repeated persuasion, he stayed here, and reluctantly watched Han Cheng and the others gradually leaving.
Only after the green bird flag, which was floating slightly in the breeze, gradually disappeared from sight did the crowd slowly disperse and go about their own business.
These minors who have lived in Tongshan residential area for some time and spent a carefree life have become much quieter this morning.
With a tense face and tools in his hands, he was working diligently on the road repair.
They wanted to repair the road as soon as possible so that they could go to another place to see the respected Son of God.
This is what the Son of God said. The Son of God would never lie to them. Everything the Son of God said to them these days has come true, and this time will be no exception!
Not only them, the old primitive people also built roads with more enthusiasm and worked more seriously than before.
Because they were also reluctant to see the Son of God leave, and they also wanted to visit the other place where the Son of God and his companions lived.
These days they also learned some news about another residential area in the tribe.
Knowing there are taller walls, friendlier people, and more delicious food...
As long as they can build this road, they can go over and take a look...
Time passed quickly. It was only early summer when Han Cheng started planning to build the Bronze Expressway.
And now, when everything is on track, midsummer has passed quietly and the breath of autumn has arrived.
When walking on the road, occasionally some yellow leaves fall from the trees, like colorful butterflies.
“Ga ga ga…”
“Flutter…”
A group of wild ducks with a touch of green feathers on their heads were startled by the noise made by Han Cheng and his group. They quacked, flapped their wings and flew away into the distance, leaving a panic-stricken scene behind.
Han Cheng stopped and looked at the wild ducks that flew away and fell into the water with a thoughtful look on his face.
It was not because he suddenly wanted to catch all those green-headed wild ducks and roast them, but because he remembered something else related to this place.
