“Click, click…”

There was a clicking sound beside Han Cheng. He didn't even need to turn around to look. Just by listening to the sound, Han Cheng knew who was coming.

Because his mouth was already filled with saliva.

Apart from Bai Xuemei who likes sour food, there are very few talented people in the tribe who can eat green apricots with such enthusiasm.

Xiao Xing'er, who had suffered several losses before, has learned her lesson now. When she sees Bai Xuemei eating green apricots, she hides as far away as possible and no one can reach her even if she calls her, for fear that she will be cheated by her mother again.

Not to mention Xiao Xing'er, even Han Cheng himself now has the urge to retreat.

It doesn't feel good at all to stand here and swallow your saliva while others are eating green apricots.

This woman, is she pregnant again? !

Han Cheng walked to the side and quietly put some distance between himself and Bai Xuemei. He looked at Qingxing, who was shrinking continuously under the movement of Bai Xuemei's teeth. Then he looked at Xiaoxing'er, who was catching grasshoppers in the grass with her brother Xiaowandou not far away. Han Cheng's heart suddenly skipped a beat and an idea suddenly appeared in his mind.

I remember that this woman was like this when she was pregnant with Xiao Xing'er. She ate a lot of green apricots.

That's why I gave Xiao Xing'er such a name.

Counting the days since he came back and recalling the frequency with which he had sown seeds during these days, Han Cheng felt that there was a high possibility that this was true!

"When did your relative last leave?"

Thinking of this, Han Cheng no longer cared about the green apricots that Bai Xue was eating. He quickly came to Bai Xue's side and asked her anxiously.

Sister Bai Xue today is no longer the person who knows nothing, and she has also become accustomed to referring to certain things in this way.

When he heard Han Cheng ask this again, he hesitated for a moment, and immediately understood what Han Cheng was talking about.

After thinking for a while, she said, "I came here when you were not back. It has been about thirty or forty days now..."

"Have you been feeling unwell during this time?"

Han Cheng suppressed the ecstasy in his heart and asked again.

"I don't feel uncomfortable at all, I just want to eat something sour."

Sister Bai Xue tilted her head and said after thinking for a while.

Hearing this, Han Cheng's face immediately broke into smiles.

Yes! Yes! This woman is most likely pregnant!

When I was pregnant with Little Wandou and Little Xing'er, I basically didn't have any discomfort symptoms, and I especially liked sour food.

Although he already had two children, Han Cheng was still very happy when he learned that Bai Xue was very likely pregnant again. He didn't know what to say for a moment and could only stand there grinning.

I wanted to pick up Snow White and celebrate properly, but I was afraid of hitting her stomach, so I had to give up.

Of course, another reason why Han Cheng was so happy was that the era he lived in at that time was different from that of later generations.

There is no pressure in raising children at this time. After all, food, clothing, shelter and so on can all be provided by yourself. Maybe later on, the tribe can even send you a wife without asking for any dowry.

The cost is not just low for a little bit.

If it was like in later generations, where the cost of raising a child was so high and the family was not wealthy enough, and if a third child was born after having both a son and a daughter, Han Cheng estimated that he would find it difficult to laugh out loud right now...

My wife is pregnant again, which is indeed a very happy thing, and adding meals is necessary.

So Han Cheng started picking green apricots with Bai Xue without saying a word. In the evening, he made a big bowl of stir-fried pork with green apricots for the woman.

Bai Xuemei's appetite was naturally great. She ate up such a big bowl of food by herself, which made Han Cheng's teeth sour.

This guy Fu Jiang must have become a spirit. In the evening, he ran back from outside with a dead rabbit in his mouth.

Instead of giving it to Han Cheng as he did in the past, he came straight to Bai Xuemei, put it at her feet, looked at her while wagging his tail, and rubbed his head against her calves.

Bai Xuemei and Han Cheng were so happy that they kept praising Fu Jiang and tickling him.

There is a saying in later generations that "dogs understand human nature", which now seems to be true.

In fact, it’s not just dogs. Many animals will become more human-like after being raised for a long time.

For example, Uncle Lu, who is considered the overlord of the Qingque tribe.

But this guy looks a bit old, just like Uncle Lu...

Han Cheng read a joke in later life, saying that after one of his female colleagues became pregnant, not only did her voice become deeper and her mouth become bigger, but even her constipation that had lasted for many years was cured!

Such a magical thing would never happen to Sister Bai Xue.

Before these changes appeared, Han Chengchu had already led his men and once again set out from the Qingque main tribe and headed for Jinguan City.

However, before leaving, Han Cheng led some people to the Tongshan residential area while Heiwa and others had not yet fired the porcelain he needed.

On the one hand, he had not been to the Tongshan residential area for a long time, and he wanted to go and see what the Tongshan residential area looked like today.

On the other hand, most people in the Tongshan residential area have not seen him, the Son of God, for a long time and miss him very much.

It is very necessary for him to go there at this time.

It allows people living in the Tongshan residential area to see him and let them know that the Son of God has not forgotten them, so that they can feel at ease and work more actively in the days to come.

At the same time, if any problems are found, guidance can be provided and improvements can be made to prevent the Tongshan residential area, which is extremely important to the Qingque tribe, from going astray.

While doing these, you can also deepen the impression of yourself in the minds of people in the tribe.

When passing by Tongfu Inn and looking at the many pine trees, Han Cheng suddenly remembered something.

This matter is related to the firing of porcelain.

Pine wood is an excellent wood. It is not only used to make ink, but also can be used as firewood.

Because it is oily, it is very easy to burn and the flame is very strong.

When people in the Song and Ming dynasties fired porcelain, they often used pine wood, and the temperature seemed to reach over a thousand degrees.

I will talk to Heiwa about this after I return to the tribe and ask him to try using pine wood. Who knows, he might be able to come up with some new ways of burning it.

When passing by Longmen Inn, which was not too far from Wild Duck Lake, Han Cheng also made a special trip to Wild Duck Lake.

Compared with before, Wild Duck Lake now seems to have a much more human atmosphere.

The road leading to Longmen Inn, the bamboo rafts docked on the shore, and the few houses built on high ground not too far from the lakeshore all show the popularity of people, making this place less desolate.

Of course, there are also the small lotus leaves that are spread out on the lake surface or have their pointed tips exposed but no dragonflies land on them.

After the lotus was discovered, the people of the Green Bird Tribe quickly experienced its benefits.

Especially the lotus root below, it tastes really delicious, especially after being boiled and used as a cold dish, you won’t want to stop eating it.

The people of the Green Bird Tribe are very active in many things, but they are most active in eating.

Since lotus root is so delicious, it naturally needs to be planted in large quantities.

Over the past few years, not only the places around the Qingque main tribe where lotus roots can be grown were planted with this stuff, but also the places near Wild Duck Lake that were suitable for growing lotus roots were planted with lotus roots.

Nowadays, the tribe can dig up a lot of lotus roots every winter.

It is not midsummer yet. If you come here in midsummer, the scenery here will be really beautiful.

I can really experience what it means to have endless green lotus leaves reaching the sky and exceptionally red lotus flowers reflecting the sun.

On the Lotus Island, which is some distance away from the lake shore, there have not been many changes, except that the trees on it are still as dense as before.

This was of course the order Han Cheng had given earlier, and it was taking effect.

Of course, the guano stone on top is gone.

After years of transportation, the guano stones on the soil had already been transported away by the hardworking people of the Green Bird tribe, pulled into the fields and turned into nutrients.

The ground, which seemed to be quite low, was covered with a layer of bird droppings that looked very fresh. This was of course the result of the unremitting efforts of the birds living on this island.

Han Cheng did not go through this area to the south. After all, these places seemed a little too dangerous...

After walking around Lotus Island, Han Chengcai led the people who came with him and headed towards the Tongshan residential area in the west...

Han Cheng's arrival undoubtedly caused a great sensation in the Tongshan residential area. The people living in the Tongshan residential area were so excited when they saw Han Cheng, the son of God, coming!

Everyone is happier than during the Chinese New Year.

Some people even wiped away tears with excitement.

Especially after the Son of God gave great affirmation to all that they had done over time, even more people shed tears.

"You guys work hard here, and we will work hard in the main tribe, in the Qinling sub-district, and in Jinguan City in the south!

Together we can make our tribe richer and stronger!"

Han Cheng stood on the platform, raised his voice and spoke loudly to the people in the Tongshan residential area, giving an impromptu speech.

Everyone in the Tongshan residential area nodded vigorously.

Although they no longer live in the same place, they are still members of the same tribe.

We all have a common god, a common son of god, a common witch... and a common goal to work towards.

Under the fluttering Green Bird flag, he and others are working hard together for the tribe!

After making this impromptu speech, Han Cheng walked down from the stage and had a cordial conversation with some people in the Tongshan residential area, asking about the situation there.

Then he joined everyone in patrolling the Tongshan residential area.

Compared with before, the wall of Tongshan residential area is a little higher.

Like before, these newly raised walls are also made of stone.

Compared with the last time he went there, there was a lot more arable land, and it was all cultivated near the caves where the Tengshe tribe lived.

Except for a very small amount of arable land, the rest of the farmland has been planted with crops. Looking around, it is a sea of ​​green, which is a joy to look at.

After checking the farmland, Han Cheng, accompanied by Shang and others, visited the mines and other things on the copper mountain...

Han Cheng did not stay in the Tongshan residential area for too long and left after three days.

During these three days, he visited the entire Tongshan residential area and put forward some suggestions.

Among them, the most important thing, and what Han Cheng values ​​most, is that when mining ore, one must be extra careful!

Mine as much surface ore as possible. After the surface ore is mined, dig deeper.

When excavating, you must wear a safety helmet, and the mine must be supported by pillars.

It is better to delay some work than to risk human lives.

The speed of ore mining in the tribe is indeed a bit slow now. This is mainly because after several years of mining, many surface and easy-to-mine ores have been mined, and they have to mine deeper.

Compared with the surface, it is indeed more difficult to excavate the ore deep inside.

Another reason is that the tools are not easy to use.

Bronze is not hard enough to be used to make tools to mine ore.

It would be great if we could get gunpowder.

On the way back from the Tongshan residential area to the main tribe, Han Cheng recalled what happened in the Tongshan residential area, and thought about it with some regret.

With gunpowder, mining became much easier.

After a cannon blast, the amount of ore stirred up was more than what a person would get out of hammering with a bronze hammer or other tools for half a day.

The tribe can save a lot of manpower and the copper production can be greatly increased.

In addition to being used in mining, gunpowder has many other uses.

As a liberal arts student, he couldn't make things like flintlock rifles, but he could still make a big firecracker.

When the time comes and we encounter the enemy, we will light some big firecrackers and throw them far away with slingshots into the enemy's crowd. Then...

Just thinking about this scene made Han Cheng feel relaxed all over.

Although it may seem a bit bullying, but...

But this kind of thing really happened, and it feels so good to be the bully!

The kind that makes you want to stop.

However, what is distressing is that of the three major items, sulfur, charcoal and saltpeter, the tribe could only find charcoal. There was none of sulfur and saltpeter.

It seems that the rest of the tribes have to continue exchanging stones for salt and pottery!
