Chapter 916: They are eating again...



As Han Cheng was thinking with a smile on his face, the older female primitives completed the transaction again and exchanged all the remaining rice for the pottery and salt brought by Han Cheng and his companions.

Han Cheng looked at the pile of rice belonging to his tribe with a smile on his face. The older female primitive people looked at the exquisite pottery and delicious salt they had exchanged for food, and imagined how they would use these things to exchange for more food from other tribes. They were also smiling.

After this exchange, people from both tribes were extremely happy.

After this exchange, the pottery that Han Cheng and his team brought with them was reduced by a lot.

But it doesn't matter.

There are many people in the Qingque tribe who can make ordinary pottery, and this time they came with people from the pottery workshop.

Soon we will build a kiln here, and the used pottery can be replenished immediately.

After this exchange, the relationship between the two sides has become much more harmonious.

At least the people of the Green Bird tribe would no longer think of capturing these people as slaves, and the older female primitives also understood that these seemingly strange and rich people in front of them were not evil.

In this situation, not only did they not rob the things belonging to their tribe, they also did not kill me and others because they occupied their caves. Instead, they exchanged with people from their tribe and told me and others a way to quickly obtain food.

A long time had passed since these matters were temporarily settled.

The main reason is that the two languages ​​are not compatible, and it takes a lot of time to do fancy translation.

Originally, the older female primitive planned to come back, put the delicious fruits she collected here, and then go to the previous place to collect fruits.

But after all this trouble, time did not allow for it, so she decided to take people to collect food nearby.

As for the precious pottery that she had just exchanged for all the delicious little fruits and the delicious white thing called "salt" by the tribe, at the beginning, she planned to let the people in the tribe carry them with them at all times.

However, doing so is too inconvenient, and it is easy to be bumped and damaged during the process of collecting food.

After some hesitation, she decided to put these delicious things she had just exchanged in the strange cave where they had lived for a while and now belonged to this strange tribe again.

Many people in the tribe expressed concern about the decision of the older female primitive people, fearing that the precious pottery and salt they had exchanged for many things would be taken back by that tribe.

After all, these two things are so precious.

But older female primitives still did it.

In addition to the fact that it would be inconvenient to carry it with you, another reason was that she felt that the people of this tribe would not do such a thing because they already had a lot of such things.

Things that seem extremely precious in one's own tribe may not seem so precious in their tribe.

The more important point is that if these people really meant this, they could have directly deprived themselves of everything they had before, without having to go through all this trouble.

I have to say that the older female primitives are still very insightful.

At the same time, this also once again proves the correctness of the saying "Old people are wise, old horses are cunning".

What these people don’t know is that it is precisely because of their actions that the people of the Qingque tribe have become more favorable towards them and have also started to look up to them.

This is the power of trust.

And precisely because they did not take people far away to collect fruits, but stayed here nearby, they were able to further understand the wealth of this strange tribe calling itself "Green Bird".

Not to mention anything else, just the sheep, deer and other prey driven out from far away shocked them again.

They had never seen any tribe that could possess so many prey at one time. Even the oldest female primitives among them had never heard of it, let alone seen it.

Han Cheng and others ignored the exclamations of the older female primitive people, but used bronze axes to cut down some branches and other things around them. Then they chose a place near the slave hut that was not in the way and built a fence to enclose the sheep, donkeys, deer and other things they brought.

It can not only keep the animals in a confinement and prevent them from running around at night, but can also be used to defend against possible attacks from wild beasts.

While doing all this, they also built some smaller fences to keep the chickens they brought. As for the pairs of rabbits that had lost a lot of weight after the bumpy ride and were now completely skin and bones, they were temporarily placed in two large pottery vessels.

These guys are so good at digging holes that you need to be careful when building a circle around them.

After two days, we need to find some stones to lay the foundation.

While doing all this, Han Cheng asked people to set up some tents that they brought with them outside.

This is because there are quite a lot of people coming this time, and the slave huts built before are not big enough to accommodate them.

Of course, they could also choose to build a few dome-shaped, semi-cave houses to live in, but this matter was temporarily suppressed by Han Cheng.

He wanted to wait until the older female primitives left before letting the people in the tribe start building.

This can prevent as much as possible the leakage of things that Han Cheng thinks it is necessary to keep confidential.

As for captive animals, they just saw them.

If they really learn how to do it and start breeding, it might not be a bad thing for their own tribe.

The more things they have, the more their tribe can get from them through trade.

Before we knew it, it was already evening.

After half a day of busy work, the people from the Qingque tribe who came again have basically settled some necessary things and have settled down. They will be able to officially start the construction of Jinguan City tomorrow.

There were several fires burning on the open space outside Jinguan City. These were simple stoves temporarily supported by stones.

After the yellow millet is washed, water is added to it and boiled. In addition to millet, dried fish stored on the way is also added.

The dried fish were cut into small pieces by several 'cooks' of the Qingque tribe using sharp copper knives.

When it is almost cooked and ready to be served, add some chopped wild vegetables and some salt, stir it back and forth, and it will be delicious.

While several 'chefs' of the Green Bird tribe were busy here, the older female primitive people were also cooking not far away.

Compared with the meals of the Green Bird Tribe, their food is much simpler.

Before, they would cook some rice to eat from time to time, but the exchange this afternoon made all their rice belong to the Green Bird Tribe. Therefore, there was only water to cook wild vegetables in the pottery jar, and then they would eat some wild fruits they collected.

However, because they had just exchanged several gourds of salt today, they also added some salt to the wild vegetables they boiled in water for seasoning.

In the past, such food was already the ultimate delicacy for them.

In fact, as long as there is salt, even if there is not a single wild vegetable in the water, it is still an extremely rare delicacy for them.

But now, everything is different.

After each of them ate a gourd of delicious food given by the kind people of the Green Bird tribe, they suddenly felt that their own bland food had no taste.

The older female primitive people had a hard time eating that meal. They looked at the people of the Green Bird tribe eating bowl after bowl of delicious food. Then they looked at the clear water and wild vegetables in the gourds they used as bowls. They all found it tasteless.

This is what it means: there is no harm without comparison.

Including the older female primitive people, they were all thinking, how great it would be if they could have such food for every meal and eat their fill like the people in the Green Bird Tribe.

With such deep envy, the older female primitive's eyes fell on the exquisite pottery and the gourd filled with salt placed beside her, and her heart became determined.

As long as he took his people with him, he visited more tribes and used these things to exchange for food from other tribes. In time, his own tribe would be able to live such a life and eat such food.

Thinking about this, the older female primitive people became excited...

The next morning, after experiencing another deep envy, the female primitives had breakfast and left with their tribesmen, heading towards the large area of ​​small fruits that had not yet been picked by them.

She would bring people to collect all the small fruits there, and use them to exchange for more pottery and salt from the kind tribe, and then use these to exchange for more food from other tribes!

After the older female primitives left, Han Cheng and his team also became busy.

Some people were grazing donkeys and sheep around, while the minors lowered the fish cages they brought with them into the water.

Han Cheng made special instructions about putting down the fish cage, which was that the older female primitive people must not be allowed to see it and must not be allowed to know the real way to use the fish cage.

After all, fish cages are indeed a powerful tool for fishing in this era, and they are the kind that can produce results in a short period of time, so it is better to control them.

As for the fish cages that were previously placed in the room and taken away by the older female primitives, Han Cheng was generous enough not to take them back.

But when I see them wearing it on their heads as a hat, I can't help but laugh.

If the tribe of the older female primitive people can survive for a long time, this may become a cultural symbol and be completely integrated into their lives...

In addition to these, the rest of the people began to prepare for the construction of Jinguan City.

At the beginning, Han Cheng's idea was to build the house first and then build the wall, so that it would be convenient to obtain soil and transport other materials.

But after learning that there was another tribe in the area that also possessed bronze, this idea changed fundamentally.

The wall must be built first.

As for the trouble that may arise when building the house later, that is all that will be needed.

It's better to have some trouble than to have no security at all.

Moreover, the construction of the wall was adjusted so that a small inner courtyard was built first.

Then, using the inner courtyard as a base, we will build a larger outer courtyard.

After deciding on this idea, Han Cheng and some other people who came with him took out a tape measure to measure. Based on the traces they left last time, they determined the location and measured the size of the inner courtyard. Then everyone started digging the foundation without stopping.

While these people were digging the foundation of the wall, some people also cut down trees from the surrounding area and pulled them over. Then carpenters like Mao Er who came from the carpentry room made them into rafts in preparation for tamping the earth soon.

Jinguan City, which seemed deserted before, immediately became lively and prosperous.

By noon, when the older female primitive people came back with their people and the fruits they had collected, the place had changed a lot.

The seemingly flat ground was dug into trenches, and moist soil, along with some grass roots or tree roots, were turned over on the edges of the trenches.

The older female primitives all opened their mouths wide, looking stunned.

It's not just because of such a big change, more importantly, these people are eating food again!

Didn’t you eat this morning?

Shouldn't we wait until it's almost dark before eating food again?

Why are they eating now?

Moreover, their food still smells as good and looks as delicious as before...

This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that seeing them eating here, we are also feeling very hungry!

Especially after each of them ate a whole gourd of food that the kind tribesmen generously gave them, they became even hungrier.

After rinsing the bottom of the gourd with some clean water and drinking it, the older female primitive people hurriedly left with their tribesmen and tools.

This was not because she wanted to take people with her to quickly collect more delicious fruits, but because she was worried that if she stayed any longer, she would not be able to help but ask others to cook food for her at a time when it was far from time to eat.

After leaving in a hurry and reaching a place where they could no longer see the Green Bird tribe, the older female primitives dared to slow down.

She reached out and touched her rumbling stomach and couldn't help but sigh.

Because she found that it was quite difficult to eat like the people of the Green Bird Tribe...
