Chapter 167 Good Man Luo Chong (Please vote and subscribe)
"It's done so quickly?" Luo Chong muttered to himself, then nodded and took You Fu to pick the oxen to pull the cart.
Picking oxen is easy. A good man like Luo Chong will definitely pick two mature, stable and obedient bulls for You Fu. Yes, the older the better. As for
why bulls, that's even simpler. First, bulls can't be used to produce milk, and second, they often fight during the estrus period. Luo Chong is eager to eliminate the two old bulls and send them away, so that they won't become black sheep and affect the overall quality of the Han tribe's cattle.
The three stood between the backwater river and the urban area for a while, watching the ox carts carrying bricks and tiles coming and going. Luo Chong picked out two old cows with loose skin from the carts, left the two cows behind, and pulled their lips to see the degree of wear on their teeth.
Well, after checking their teeth, I found out that they are the cows I don't want. It's just you two, cough cough.
"Well, Youfu, look at the two cows I picked for you.
They are so big and both are bulls. I tell you, bulls are stronger than cows, and bulls can't have calves. If you get two pregnant cows, they won't be able to pull your cart.
Look at their teeth again. It's obvious that they have eaten everything. Do you know what this means? It means that they are easy to feed and can eat everything.
If you put them... For us humans, we have survival experience, we are willing to eat anything, we are not likely to starve to death, unlike those children who are picky eaters, we will not eat bird eggs if there is meat, and we will never eat fruit if there are bird eggs.
You have to walk a long way this time, and you don’t know what to feed them along the way, but these two bulls will definitely save you a lot of worry, they will take care of themselves. "
Luo Chong introduced these two steady bulls to You Fu with a sincere face, and the four words "I am doing this for your own good" were written all over his face, which moved You Fu very much.
"Chief Han, you are so good to our You tribe, you have thought of so many things for me, I have never thought of these things myself, I really don’t know how to repay you." You Fu’s eyes were red, and he held Luo Chong’s hand with both hands, and said excitedly.
Luo Chong pulled his hand back awkwardly, smiled on his face, and patted You Fu’s shoulder to remind him.
"Hehe, don't be so excited. Our two tribes are friends. It's my duty to help you. You don't have to repay me. Just bring me some useful things this time."
"Chief Han, don't worry. As long as I can see the things you want, I will definitely find ways to get them for you. If the salt you give me is not enough, I will rob it for you." You Fu promised solemnly, and his rough hands slapped his chest muscles, making Xue Tu feel pain for him and grinned secretly.
Luo Chong felt You Fu's sincerity and said to him with a face full of satisfaction.
"Don't worry, I said I'd give you a bucket of salt, so I won't lie to you. And when you exchange, don't take out all the salt at once. It would be bad if others see you have so many good things and they rob you.
Come on, while there is still time in the afternoon, I'll let the tribe teach you how to harness the bulls to the cart and how to drive the cart.
By the way, these bulls are all wild and were caught by our Han tribe from outside. Bulls like to be naughty. If they don't obey and stay where they are, you can pull the ring in the middle of their nostrils and lead them away. But don't use too much force, otherwise you will break the nose of the bull." As they walked, Luo Chong introduced the precautions of using the bull cart to You Fu.
"Han leader, thank you so much, I won't say thank you anymore. After I learn how to harness the bull cart and drive the bulls today, I will lead the tribe to set out early tomorrow morning to help you find the things you want and bring them to the Han tribe as soon as possible." You Fu promised again.
Luo Chong: "Well, we don't have to be so polite. Let's go. I'll help you prepare the things you need to bring."
You Fu: "Han leader, thank you."
Luo Chong and Xue Tu: "
After a while, the three returned to their residence. Xue Tu followed with two cows, and Luo Chong began to have people prepare things for You Fu.
A full bucket of pure white salt, weighing several hundred kilograms, was brought in some pottery pots and jars of various sizes, and two small water tanks were given to them to transplant plants that might be encountered. At that time, the roots and soil were placed in the jars or water tanks. As long as there was no shortage of water on the road, they could basically be delivered to the Han tribe alive.
You Fu thanked Luo Chong with tears in his eyes. He knew how valuable the things Luo Chong gave him were. He didn't expect Luo Chong to be so generous and take out so many good things without any hesitation. He thought it was Luo Chong's trust in him, and he was generous and generous.
But Luo Chong's real situation was different from what he thought. In his opinion, the things Luo Chong gave were a gamble.
If you bring back the things, then I win the bet. If you never come back, then I won't lose anything.
After all, pottery and white salt are nothing to Luo Chong. If you want them, you can make them yourself at any time. After
the two of them talked for a few words, Xue Tu led the bull and You Fu to the carpenter group to learn the methods of catching cattle and driving carts from the tribesmen.
Luo Chong himself went to see the progress of Mutun and the apprentices in making spinning machines.
Because they had experience yesterday, the two of them finished very quickly. In most of the day, a new spinning machine had been assembled, but it had not been oiled or put on the cowhide belt.
After the two of them finished the machine, they made bobbins and stools. Mutun, this guy, seemed to have made a new stool that was a bit too big.
"What kind of legs are you making? It's not a stool, right? Why are they so thick and long?" Luo Chong looked at the wooden square with mortise and tenon joints that Mutun was planeing with a plane. That thing looked like a stool leg.
"Hehe, I heard the leader talk about the table the day before yesterday. I have time today, so I want to try it myself to see if I can make it." Mutun smiled innocently and scratched the back of his head embarrassedly.
"Well, good. It's a good thing to dare to try. How is your table going? How big and high do you plan to make it? Have you prepared the table top?" Luo Chong encouraged him and asked about the details.
"I have already made the table top. It is the rectangular oak board that the leader mentioned. It is four centimeters thick, one meter wide, one and a half meters long, and one meter high. The board is right there." Mutun pointed to a thick wooden board lying flat on the ground.
Luo Chong walked over to take a look. It was a wide panel made of several wooden boards, but the joints on it were barely visible. The whole panel was almost seamless. Luo Chong was shocked at the time.
"Hey, there is something special about your table top. How did you make it?"
