Chapter 1163 Son of God, come and see (two in one)
A red sun shines in the sky, shining thousands of rays of light, and the water surface is endowed with many brilliant colors.
Sure enough, when the sun rises, the flowers in the river are as red as the fire!
It's not spring now, but the river water is also very clear.
In the early morning, smoke rose from the kitchen and was blown around by the morning breeze.
Some of the smoke drifted into the distance, and some of the smoke stuck to the water, looking like mist rising from the water.
The paddle and the bamboo pole slid together, breaking the calmness of the water and driving the boat deeper into the river.
On top of the ship, there was a curl of smoke.
The smoke is emitted from the fired pottery stove placed on the bow of the ship.
There is a pot on top of the clay stove, and food is cooked in the pot.
Such a device is found on every ship.
And at this time, fires were burning and food was cooking.
This is Han Cheng's arrangement.
Cooking on shore is too time-consuming.
From starting to cooking to having a good meal, it takes at least forty minutes.
In fact, because the pots used on a large scale in the tribe are clay pots that conduct heat relatively slowly, the cooking process needs to be longer.
Even a relatively simple breakfast takes almost an hour to eat.
This was unbearable for Han Cheng, who was anxious to rush to the Fire Tribe to see what was going on.
You can cover a lot of distance in this hour.
What's more, how many hours can we have in a day?
So the current situation emerged.
Now, these people traveling with Han Cheng can truly enjoy the small pot meal.
The ship moved forward, leaving behind a trail of smoke that quickly dissipated, and the river surface returned to calm not long after.
After talking to everyone in the tribe last night, those who followed Han Cheng had basically figured out where the crayfish came from, how far it was from themselves and others, and how difficult it was to get there.
and what methods are needed to do so.
Han Cheng opened the hand-drawn map again. After a while, he sighed slightly, folded it carefully and put it in his backpack.
The outlines of the land on this map, as well as the oceans and other things, were all drawn by him based on the geographical map of the world in his memory.
There must be problems with the proportions and many small details, and it cannot be completely the same as those maps of later generations.
And, in addition to these, there is another problem.
The problem is that at this time, Han Cheng did not know how far away he was from the era in which he lived in later generations.
However, judging from the historical knowledge he has, the time here must be quite long.
In this way, problems arise.
The problem is that the current topography and many things are somewhat different from those of later generations.
These are all problems that need to be solved, but Han Chengdu does not have the ability to solve them.
After all, he was limited by various conditions at this time. It was simply impossible to accurately draw the outlines of the land and oceans around the world in this era.
Although there will be some differences in the maps drawn according to the maps of later generations, they still have great reference value.
After thinking about it for a while, Han Cheng still couldn't find a way to improve the accuracy of the map, so he had to give up.
He stood up from the cabin and walked all the way to the bow.
As he moved, the ship swayed from side to side.
People who are not used to riding in boats will feel more frightened by this kind of shaking.
Han Cheng walked onto the bow of the ship and stood there looking into the distance.
As far as the eye can see, there is a strip of sparkling river surface.
There were no boats or rafts seen on the river.
Still empty.
No one from the Fire Tribe was seen.
Although such a scene was within Han Cheng's expectation, when it actually happened, Han Cheng couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
After standing here and looking for a while, but still no trace of the Fire Tribe people, Han Cheng stopped looking over there.
He thought for a moment and took out a large net bag with a wooden handle from the cabin.
Then he extended it into the river on the side of the boat and used it to net fish.
In fact, at the beginning, Han Cheng wanted to sit on the boat and fish for visitors.
However, the boat is always moving forward. Under such circumstances, it is obviously unrealistic to fish.
So Han Chengcheng found the net bag.
The boat moved forward, traveling faster than the speed of the water.
Driven by the boat, the net bag was completely propped up.
The running water poured into the net bag, and with a little resistance, it quickly leaked out of the holes in the net bag.
After a long time like this, Han Cheng, who was holding the handle of his net bag, suddenly felt some vibrations.
These vibrations are different from the vibrations caused by touching the sand and rocks on the river bottom.
Han Cheng held the handle of the net bag, first turned a small half circle to adjust the mouth of the net bag to face upwards, and then lifted it up.
As he lifted the net bag out of the water, some weight was felt, and at the same time there was a clearer vibration.
In the dripping net bag, a struggling fish appeared.
The fish weighs three pounds.
In addition to this fish, there are four or five small fish about a dozen in size.
Because these small fish are small and weak, they don't feel much after entering the net bag, so Han Cheng doesn't know when these guys got in.
Looking at these fish, Han Cheng couldn't help but smile.
Harvest always brings happiness to people, especially the harvest obtained by one’s own hands.
After pouring these large and small fish into the cabin and letting them jump around randomly, Han Cheng turned around and put the empty net bag into the water again, and continued to use this method to catch fish.
Passing this somewhat boring time, while experiencing the joy of harvest, while also thinking about something in my mind...
There are a lot of fish in the river. Just looking at the fish placed in the cabin, you can have a very intuitive feeling.
Han Cheng was not the only one on the boat. He didn't even need to give any orders. These people who didn't need to row the boat cleaned up the fish caught by Han Cheng.
This feeling of only being responsible for catching fish but not having to clean them is really a very good experience.
After half a while, Han Chenggong chopped the cleaned fish into pieces with a knife and marinated them with some salt and seasonings.
After marinating for about half an hour, the stove was lifted to the bow, lit, and started to cook the fish soup.
There is a saying in the hometown of Han Cheng's later generations, which is called "cooking tofu for a thousand times and fish for ten thousand times."
What I am talking about is that when stewing tofu or fish soup, you must simmer it vigorously for a while.
The more these things are stewed, the more flavorful they become.
Tofu can be stewed into a delicious dish. As for the fish soup, it not only makes the fish stew stronger, but also makes the fish soup white and extraordinarily fragrant!
As a foodie, Han Cheng naturally knows these things.
It is precisely because of this that he started simmering fish soup in the middle of the morning and simmered it until noon before eating.
The food on other ships is similar.
As members of the tribe who often eat fish, the other people on the boat also fished during the boat trip.
Some hang fish cages that can sink in the water on both sides of the boat, while others, like Han Cheng, choose to hold the net bag with their hands and use the power of the boat to catch fish.
The harvest is naturally very good.
So at noon, they all drank extremely fresh fish soup.
The people on Han Cheng's ship had a richer meal.
Because in addition to the fish soup, Han Cheng also used some reed leaves to wrap some pickled fish, wrapped the outside with mud, put it in the stove and burned it, and made some 'beggar fish'...
Time passes by in this process, and the distance also passes by.
The fleet of ships went all the way down the river.
When there is favorable wind, use the force of the wind; when there is no wind, use the pole paddle.
Although it is tiring at times, it is much more relaxing than walking for long periods of time on land.
The encounter Han Cheng expected with the Fire Tribe people on the road never happened.
And Han Cheng gradually gave up on meeting people from the Fire Tribe on the road.
This was not only because he had had enough of such disappointment, but also an even more important reason was that they were almost reaching the place where the Fire Tribe was.
Whether or not you can meet people from the Fire Tribe on the road is irrelevant.
The ship was sailing on the water, and on the wide river, one could already see the simple dock built by the Fire Tribe on the shore, modeled after the Qingque Tribe.
Around the dock, there are many rafts belonging to the Fire Tribe and some canoes moored.
However, these rafts and boats seemed to have been docked here for a long time, and no one was seen around them.
On the river bank near the pier, dense and troublesome vegetation grows.
When Han Cheng came here for the first time, all the weeds and other things growing here disappeared and were replaced by this kind of strong and vigorous vegetation.
These vegetations are nothing but large areas of hemp.
Some hemp plants have already bloomed at this time, with some pink or purple flowers, which look quite beautiful.
This has also become a unique landscape here in the Fire Tribe.
Apart from hemp, there are no other crops grown here.
Unlike the Qingque tribe, in addition to hemp, there are also larger-scale millets.
The reason for this is of course the reason why the Qingque Tribe did not give millet seeds to the Fire Tribe.
No matter what the Fire Tribe offered in exchange or how much the price paid, the Green Bird Tribe would not give them millet seeds.
And it was later made clear that if the Fire Tribe must take measures to obtain and plant millet seeds from its own tribe, then from now on, the Qingque Tribe will no longer exchange millet, pottery, salt and other such things for fire.
The tribe produced linen cloth, and also adopted some other worse methods.
Under such a move, of course it would be impossible for crops such as millet to grow here in the Fire Tribe.
It can only be that there is a large amount of hemp.
Such a move by the Qingque Tribe is undoubtedly to make the Fire Tribe become the weavers of the Qingque Tribe.
Regarding such things, Han Cheng did not have much bad emotions such as guilt.
Because if this matter develops like this, it will be a win-win situation for both parties.
Through this kind of cooperation, the life of the Fire Tribe is much better than before.
As for the use of force and methods that occurred during this process, Han Cheng didn't think it was a big deal.
In this world, not everything can be good to you, good to me, good to everyone.
Many times, simply being friendly can't get things done.
On the contrary, it will make things worse.
A big difference is enough.
After looking around and finding no one, the fleet began to dock under Han Cheng's order and docked at the wharf built by the Fire Tribe people.
In some places, the Fire Tribe's rafts had already squeezed out space, so they had to rely on the Fire Tribe's ships to dock outside.
Two people were left on one boat to watch the boat. Han Cheng, his senior brother and 160 other people got off the boat and stepped onto the pier.
Then walked towards the shore.
From the pier to the river bank, a path was trampled on.
Some parts of the path are exposed, and more are covered with grass.
However, it can be seen that the grass on the path is obviously lighter than the grass on the side.
The group of people, armed with weapons and wearing rattan armor, followed the path all the way to the river bank, which was much higher than the river surface.
Han Cheng walked in the middle of the team, and the senior brother walked with a few others at the front of the team.
The hemp on both sides of the path is already very high, taller than a person.
Han Cheng and the others walked forward while looking around.
It's just that because these hemp blocks the line of sight, I can't see things very far away.
The eldest brother and others had been to the Fire Tribe, so they headed directly towards the Fire Tribe's residence.
In fact, even if you don't know where the Fire Tribe lives, you can still go to the Fire Tribe's cave by following the traces of trampled paths on the ground.
“@EAS#￥￥…”
"SSWDD..."
“SDXWE@……”
After walking forward like this for a while, when he was about to approach the Fire Tribe, Han Cheng heard some sounds.
The sound came from the direction of the Fire Tribe's residence. It was quite noisy and sounded quite emotional.
While Han Cheng was thinking like this, the advancing team stopped.
After a while, the senior brother who was walking in front came from the front.
"Son of God, come up and take a look."
After the senior brother saw Han Cheng, he lowered his voice and said this to Han Cheng.
After hearing this, Han Cheng walked forward with his senior brother. Several people who were dedicated to protecting Han Cheng's safety quickly followed with weapons in hand...
