Chapter 106: Mud top, stone sickle

Shang stood on the low wall inside the fence, holding the rope in his hand.

When I saw someone below hanging a bag of mud on the wooden hook at the end of the rope, I started to pull the rope.

There is a knot every half meter or so on the rope. This is to increase the friction, so that the person pulling the mud will not have blisters on their hands due to pulling for too long, and it can also save a lot of effort.

Shang was already strong, but now that he had stayed in the Qingque Tribe for half a winter, enjoying good food and good food, and constantly taking in salt, his strength became even greater.

He held the rope with a little force, and the 'grey bag' containing the mud left the ground. After a few pulls with his hands alternately, the gray bag rose to the upper part of the wall.

General Shang lifted his right hand holding the rope upwards, and the entire gray bag crossed the wall.

He did not let go, but kept this position and turned half a circle, then bent down and placed Huidou on the ground.

There was no need for anyone else to pick it up. Shang, who was already familiar with this task, loosened the rope and the wooden hook broke away from the rope strap on the ash bag. He gently lifted it with his hand and the hook came back.

Likewise, he no longer had to pay attention to the gray bag placed underneath. Someone would carry it to the edge of the deer pen and hand it to the person on the roof of the deer pen who was plastering mud on the fence.

Shang turned around and hung the empty rope to the outside of the wall again.

The person carrying the mud has not come here yet, so he can take this opportunity to look around.

Standing on this low wall, the view is very broad. Because there are no trees to block it, Shang can see the edge of the river at a glance.

There were a few small figures moving in the creek.

Shang knew that it was a few minors in the tribe who were getting food for the tribe.

At the beginning, Shang was really shocked.

Because according to his idea, after the arrival of spring, the most important thing that the tribe needs to do is to go hunting.

Because after a winter of consumption, there was not much food stored in the tribe.

And he had always led everyone to do this when he was in their tribe.

However, the decision made by this tribe completely surprised him.

Shenzi and the others did not rush to hunt, but instead summoned a large number of manpower from the tribe to start building the roof of the deer pen, which was completely unnecessary in Shang's opinion.

As for obtaining food, it was left to a few minors in the tribe.

These minors did not bring harpoons, but carried a few things that he had never seen before and walked towards the river.

Is this what they use to catch fish?

Shang looked confused.

Just when he started to worry about the possibility of being hungry at night, a minor who had gone to the river came back.

There were several fish in the fish basket on his back!

Shang was extremely shocked. He had thought that the fishing speed was already very fast in winter, but he did not expect that after the ice and snow melted, the fishing speed would be even faster!

Even now, Shang still feels incredible about this.

You know, in their original tribe, all the adults needed to work together to get enough food, and they would go hungry from time to time.

But now in this tribe, the most important thing, getting food, is not done by the strongest adults, but by a few minors who would basically be freeloaders in their tribe!

As for the strongest adults, they do things that have nothing to do with getting food.

The key is that the people in the tribe can't finish the food obtained by these minors...

Shang didn't know how to express his feelings.

When he knew that all these were methods taught by the Son of God, he only had more admiration for the minor.

"Click, click"

Senior Brother, Junior Brother Sha and others on the roof put the mixed mud in the ash bag onto the grid.

According to the Son of God's instructions, the mud was probably as thick as one of their fingers.

Whenever a piece of mud is covered, they will pick up a wooden stick about three meters long and about four centimeters in diameter, split from the middle, and each of them will hold one end and put it on the newly-pasted mud.

Apply it back and forth to smoothen the mud.

When working on the roof of a deer shed, you need to be extra careful because there is a risk of falling.

Therefore, the people on top are relatively agile, and they all follow the instructions of the Son of God and try to walk on the wooden beams. Even if there are no wooden beams, they must step on the rafters, not just on the grid.

Although the deer's roof area is not small, the Qingque tribe's labor force has also increased by nearly one-third, and the tools for digging soil have also been greatly improved, so the process of applying mud to the fence is also progressing smoothly.

.

But it took six days to complete.

After the construction was completed, Han Cheng assigned half of his staff to go out to harvest grass that could be used for roofing.

Obtaining this kind of grass is not too difficult for the Qingque tribe.

Because there is a lot of this kind of grass growing on the hills where they built their caves.

The mountain where the Qingque tribe's cave is located has many rocks and little soil.

With less soil, it is less likely that towering trees will grow on it. Therefore, the vegetation above, including low trees and this kind of barren-resistant thatch similar to that of later generations, has now been officially called thatch by Han Cheng.

The presence of grass dominates.

Ordinary grass will deteriorate after a harsh winter, but thatch will not, because it itself grows hard, and there is a layer of fine and shiny skin on the outside of the pole, which will greatly reduce the erosion of rainwater.

Of course, in detail, for roofing, it is better to harvest and store thatch in autumn, but for the current Qingque tribe, this condition is obviously not met.

In addition, this is to make a shed roof for deer, not for people, so it can be used as a makeshift.

It will be very laborious to harvest thatch and fold it by hand alone, and your hands will hurt if you fold it for a long time.

After everyone worked for half a day with little success, Han Cheng, their god's son, once again used his ingenuity, and thus, Shiyan was born!

Making a stone sickle is not complicated. It only requires a thin stone knife, a stick about three centimeters in diameter and fifteen to thirty centimeters long, and a rope.

When making, first split the thicker end of the wooden stick into a crack of about three to four centimeters in diameter, and then stick one end of the stone knife horizontally into the crack in the wooden stick.

And it is relatively thin, with the edge side facing downwards, and the angle between the stone sickle and the wooden stick is about seventy degrees.

After adjusting the position, tie it firmly with rope, and a stone sickle is ready.

Of course, such a stone sickle is much heavier than the iron sickle of later generations, and it will be more tiring on the arms when used, but it is far more convenient and labor-saving than simply folding it by hand.
