"Then when our leader led people there, he found on the way that it was not just them, but many tribes nearby were heading towards the Han tribe. After they talked to each other, they realized that they were all going to work in the Han tribe.
Moreover, they found some settlements left by small tribes on the way, which had been emptied and abandoned. It is said that the entire tribe went to work in the Han tribe, and those abandoned settlements were used as resting places by them." The elder continued to speak to Lu Chief Ju.
"Empty? The entire tribe went to work in the Han tribe? How much work does the Han tribe have to do? They actually found so many people, and they can actually provide so much food. What do they eat for three meals a day? It can't be fruit!??
Also, what do the women and children of those who moved there as a whole tribe do? Can children also work to exchange for things? And what about those breastfeeding children? What do they do there?" Lu Chief Ju asked in confusion.
"Hehe, this is about the strength of the Han tribe. You have never been to the Han tribe, so you don't know how powerful the Han tribe is. You just asked how much work the Han tribe has to do. Do you know how many people they have? Our leader said that there is a settlement of the Han tribe in the north, with a population of more than 7,000 people, uh, almost as many people as ten of your Lu tribes, and this is not all the people in the Han tribe. I heard from the leader that there is another settlement as big as that in the Han tribe. They call such a settlement a 'city'."
The elder continued to show off the news he got from the leader. In fact, he himself had never seen it. All the things he said were told to him by his own leader after he came back from work.
"So, so many people, the Han tribe is too powerful, eh? It doesn't seem right. Since they have so many people, why are they still hiring people to work?" Ju was stunned by shock at first, and then he had new doubts.
"Well, you're right. They have a lot of people, but they also have to find a way to get food. I heard from the leader that the one in the north is a newly built settlement of the Han tribe. It's still empty. I heard that they want to build houses for all the tribesmen. They are the kind of houses that are very sturdy and can burn fires in winter and won't be cold.
But their own people still have to store food, so they have to find people to build the houses, and that's why they recruit so many people.
In addition, as for the question about the children you asked just now, the Han tribe does need children to work. The Han tribe has a lot of sheep, which are the four-legged small animals with horns that eat grass. Our leader said that the new city of the Han tribe, not counting cattle and horses, has more than 4,000 sheep, which is more than the seven of you. "There are still many people in our tribe.
Although those children can't carry heavy things and don't have much strength, they can herd sheep for the Han tribe. They drive the sheep out to eat grass every day and drive them back in the evening, which is similar to herding pigs in your tribe. Those children who herd sheep can also get three meals a day, but they can't use their work to exchange for things, just the meals of the day.
But as long as they herd sheep, the Han tribe will also provide food for those very young children, and those adult women can also cook for the Han tribe, and then take care of the children by the way. The men do heavy work in exchange for white salt, so some small tribes that have difficulty hunting on their own simply move all to work for the Han tribe. "The elder explained to the leader of the Lu, Ju, one by one.
Ju was more and more shocked, but at the same time he was relieved. The Han tribe had so many sheep, so their spotted pigs were naturally not rare, which was understandable, but he still had more questions to ask. It was okay that he didn't know about the Han tribe before, but now he has heard so much from the elders of the neighboring family, and he is more curious.
"They already have so many people, and now they have to feed so many people. What will they eat? They have to eat three meals a day. Even if they raise thousands of sheep, they can't kill them all for meat. That won't be enough to eat for a few days, right?" Ju continued to ask about the things that interested him most.
"Hahaha, you've come to the right place this time. I have some food that the chief brought back earlier. I'm having someone cook it. I'll let you have a taste when it's cooked." The elder laughed.
"Oh? What is it? Mutton?" asked a younger brother who followed the chief.
"No, it's a kind of white grass seed, the seed of grass. They call it rice. You can add rice and water to the pot and cook it into rice porridge. If you put less water, you can stew it into dry rice. Rice is their staple food. Those who go to work also eat rice every day.
In addition to rice, every meal will have boiled meat with salt, or broth, and wild vegetables fried with something called oil. Oh, by the way, they will occasionally eat fish, which are the kind of animals that live in the water and have no hair or legs. The food they eat is better than what we usually eat in our tribe.
Eh?! Look, isn't this good? Well, what did you say? Come on, come on, try the rice that our leader brought back from the Han tribe, and the woman who cooked. She used to cook in the Han tribe. Look how white the soup made from the venison is. White salt is added to it. Try some too. "
While the elder of the neighbor's house was talking, a woman who used to cook in the Han tribe also brought back food, a pottery bowl of white rice, a small pot of stewed venison, the unique sweet aroma of white rice, although the broth was stewed, but white salt was also added, and the bones were broken and stewed together, making the soup white, which looked very tempting.
The woman brought two sets of bowls and chopsticks, served rice to the two people, and then retreated to get food for others.
"Come on, eat, this should be the last meal, the leader didn't bring much rice back, there will be no more after this meal, but we will be able to continue to eat this delicious rice soon." The elder picked up the bowl and took a mouthful of rice and said.
The leader of the Lu tribe, Ju, also picked up the bowl and tried to eat the rice, but he didn't know how to use chopsticks yet, and the elders didn't know how to use them either. The two wooden sticks couldn't be opened in his hands, so he could only use them to scoop the rice into his mouth. Ju had no choice but to learn to scoop the rice from the elders.
"Elder, what do you mean by continuing to eat the rice? Are you going to work for the Han tribe again? By the way, when I came here, I saw you were packing up. Where are you going?" Ju asked while eating.
"Ah! What can we do? Of course, we all moved to the Han tribe. There is one thing you don't know. Although there are thousands of people in the new city of the Han tribe, our leader heard that these people also came from dozens of tribes, and they have just joined the Han tribe for a short time."
