Chapter 42 Follow Me and Learn
The arrival of Butterfly and the others made the original members of the Black Moon Camp who lived here seem a little nervous.
However, this kind of thing can only allow them to slowly get to know each other.
After making some simple arrangements for the staff, Zhou Xu waved to Butterfly.
"Mengdie, come here."
Zhuang Mengdie, Butterfly’s new name, is taken from Zhuang Zhou’s dream of a butterfly. The reason for giving her this new name is very simple.
On the one hand, as a four-star backbone under his command, he has to have a decent name.
On the other hand, it is because of the same name.
Among the women of the Black Moon Tribe, there is not only one called Butterfly, but also one called Little Butterfly...
All I can say is that in this era, the names that primitive people could come up with were really very limited.
So after they arrived here, Zhou Xu found an opportunity and gave her a new and more decent name.
Zhuang Mengdie was very happy to get a new name, as if all the fatigue from the journey was swept away.
Now hearing Zhou Xu's call, he immediately ran over.
"What's the matter, Chief?"
Without further ado, Zhou Xu pointed directly at the three people in front of him.
"The three of them are responsible for doing manual labor at the Black Moon Camp. From today on, they will all be under your command. You will be responsible for leading them and teaching them what to do, step by step."
"So, Chief, what do we need to prioritize now?"
Zhou Xu didn't think much about this question, but directly gestured...
"Basket trap, give priority to making the basket trap, but it should be bigger than the previous one."
This time, Zhou Xu undoubtedly prepared the basket trap for the wild rabbits.
In fact, he has also been studying the lasso trap recently. Although he has never made it before, this thing, to put it bluntly, isn't it just tying a knot?
After the prey gets in, the noose knot is quickly tightened by pulling, thus catching the prey.
After all, Zhou Xu has a solid foundation when it comes to knots, and the noose trap itself is not complicated. When he has spare time, he takes some time to study it a little. He has recently figured out something.
During this period, facing Zhuang Mengdie, the female leader who was parachuted in, the three people from the Black Moon Camp behaved relatively honestly, but no one knew what they were thinking in their hearts.
Zhuang Mengdie didn't bother to care what they thought. She was already a small leader in charge of a team of people in the Salt Lake Camp. Now she had three more people under her, so she didn't feel any pressure.
"Look here, and follow my lead."
Without further ado, they followed their leader's instructions and began weaving a larger basket cover.
Although their leader had never taught them, Zhuang Mengdie's intelligence limit was four stars after all. Even though it was only two stars now, she had slowly revealed her intelligence that was beyond the level of ordinary people.
When weaving the basket, it is just a matter of adjusting the size appropriately. It is easy for Zhuang Mengdie to do this kind of thing by analogy.
It takes more time and effort to weave a large basket that can easily cover a whole hare.
But leaving this aside, basket weaving itself is a relatively repetitive job. Basically, once they have learned the basic basket weaving techniques, they can start working on it without having to wait until she finishes one basket before starting.
But after they officially started, they realized that this seemingly simple task was not so easy to do.
Look at your own clumsy fingers that are almost tangled in place, and then look at their new leader's fingers, which are incredibly flexible!
This made them clearly realize that their parachuted leader was indeed extraordinary, and they immediately put their heads down and seriously did the work at hand.
This was not a difficult job in itself. After overcoming the initial threshold, the three of them soon felt like they were getting better at it, and even their fingers were not as uncontrollable as they were in the beginning.
This also made them a little more confident, and they subconsciously looked up to check the progress of their new leader.
Afterwards, Zhuang Mengdie was seen calmly putting aside a basket that she had just woven, and then picked up two new bark ropes to start making the next one.
During this time, as if he felt the gaze falling on him, Zhuang Mengdie kept moving his hands, and at the same time, he raised his head and looked at the three people with a slightly strange look.
Then, three stunned faces came into her sight.
For a moment, Zhuang Mengdie, who didn't know what was going on, took a look at the baskets in the hands of the three people, which were only about a quarter of the way done, and asked curiously...
"What's wrong? Is there something you don't understand?"
When asked the question, the three of them shook their heads like rattles, which made Zhuang Mengdie feel even more puzzled.
"If you don't have any, do it quickly and don't stop."
After just a few interactions, the three of them were already convinced by this new leader who was suddenly appointed by their new leader.
During this period, Zhou Xu was busy building a stove in the Black Moon Camp with two people.
Of course, this stove is not used to boil water or cook, but to make pottery.
But first of all, I want to say that there is pottery here in the Black Moon Camp.
But their former leader did a very bad job because the other side didn't even have a proper furnace for firing pottery.
In Zhou Xu's opinion, this should be the same level as when primitive people first invented pottery.
But if you think about it carefully, it's not surprising. After all, not everyone is like him, who likes to buy some tea cups, and even studies wood burning and electric burning, and falls into the trap and becomes a big fool who spends a lot of money...
But now it seems that there is nothing wrong with this person having more hobbies and tinkering around in his daily life.
After all, what if you travel through time someday? You have to prepare in advance? Unlike the previous time when he built a small stove at the Salt Lake Camp, this time, he had the experience before, so he planned to build a bigger stove at once.
In this way, the quantity of pottery they fire in each batch can be increased, which can improve efficiency.
Anyway, throughout the whole process, Zhou Xu was the one planning the blueprint and layout of the furnace, while the two people beside him were responsible for helping him and doing the heavy work.
They moved quickly and the stove was built before dark.
However, the matter of laying mud inside and outside the place will obviously have to wait until tomorrow.
"Okay, that's all for today, let's start making a fire and cooking!"
Update is here, thanks to book friend '疏影er' for the reward!
