In the past, because food was relatively abundant, people in the tribe basically did not go out in winter except to solve physical problems and get some snow.
Therefore, even if there is frostbite, it is not very serious. Unlike now, almost more than 70% of people have varying degrees of frostbite on their hands and feet.
Just when everyone was worried about this, the wizard told everyone about the gloves, and took out the pair that Han Cheng made for him, so that some people in the cave could feel it for themselves.
After personally experiencing the benefits of these gloves, everyone's eyes were bright and they looked at Wu and Han Cheng as the Son of God with longing eyes. Obviously they all wanted a pair of such good things to keep out the cold and keep warm.
Wu had already discussed this matter with Han Cheng in advance. It was naturally impossible for Han Cheng to personally make a pair of gloves and socks for everyone in the tribe.
If he really does this, he will stop doing anything else and just be a glove manufacturer with peace of mind.
The solution was to select a few weak people from the tribe who were not suitable for fishing activities and learn to make gloves from Han Cheng.
After this matter was decided, everyone in the tribe was all smiles.
Yes, what other reasons do they have to be unhappy?
They now have enough food to satisfy their hunger and no longer have to worry about hunger.
Moreover, this food is more delicious and hungry than wild fruits.
They immediately had a pair of warm gloves and what the Son of God called socks to protect their hands and feet from the cold.
Such happy days are what they have always looked forward to.
On the second day, Han Chengcheng began to teach the six primitive women who stayed in the cave step by step how to make animal skin gloves.
In his opinion, this is an extremely simple or crude glove, but it is not simple for these people who are exposed to these for the first time.
In the process of learning to make, either the edges of the animal skin were smashed, or the distance between the holes was too large, or even worse, small holes were directly made on all sides of the animal skin...
After the holes were made, ropes and straw were used to sew them up, but the process was particularly unsuccessful.
Fortunately, Han Cheng was not impatient and patiently gave demonstrations one after another. In this way, by the afternoon, even the wife of the senior brother with the worst hands-on ability finally learned the skill of making gloves.
As for whether it looks good or not, that is something that can only be pursued after the technology matures.
After teaching these people to make gloves, Han Cheng began to make leather socks according to his ideas.
Nowadays, the shoes in the tribe are extremely simple. They are made of rectangular bases made of animal bones of suitable thickness and size. Then some holes are drilled on them, and small animal skin strips or tough straw ropes are passed through the holes, and then tied to the feet.
.
These are very similar to sandals from later generations, but they are a little too cool to wear in winter.
Of course, they would also wrap their feet with animal skins and then put on shoes, but these were really inconvenient and uncomfortable, and they were easy to drive. Sometimes, they would need to take care of themselves after they couldn't walk even a few steps.
Extremely troublesome.
It is precisely because of this that some people who find it troublesome to withstand the cold often choose to go barefoot.
There are no tools available now, so Han Cheng can only make larger rectangular pieces of leather like making gloves, then punch holes in them and thread them through with rope.
However, there are still some differences compared with gloves, that is, the place where the rope is worn is not on the edge, but on the top of the foot.
In this way, it can be waterproof and moisture-proof to a certain extent, and because the sewing places are at the top, the rope used as thread is not easy to be worn and can extend the service life.
If this thing were left in future generations, no one would necessarily want it even if it was given away for free, but here it is an extremely sought-after rare commodity.
Even Junior Brother Sha, who was the most impatient about wearing shoes, couldn't help but smile with joy after putting on these socks and walking around for a long time. The socks didn't come off like the previous leather foot bindings.
After all, few people want to be cold with bare feet if they have suitable shoes and socks.
The people in the tribe are not as leisurely as before. In the past, everyone would take a short break after dinner and then fall asleep. Now, they sit around the fire for a while and put on their gloves or socks before going to bed.
Because of the production of socks and gloves, there were fewer people going fishing. However, since it was winter now, fish were rushing to breathe in the holes in the ice, so it was much easier to catch than usual.
Even if there are fewer people, the fish they catch every day is enough to eat that day, and not only that, there is still a lot of surplus.
After storing enough fish in the cave, the senior brother and the others spent less time fishing every day, and sometimes they didn't even go out to catch at all.
Because the food was so plentiful, after Han Cheng mentioned it, no one ate the greasy fish offal anymore, not even Lame, who cherished food the most.
Nowadays, when grilling fish, we follow the method taught by Han Cheng, first remove the scales and remove the internal organs and gills, and then start grilling on the fire.
At first, some people thought this method was wasteful, but after remembering that they already had enough fish, and the fish grilled in this way was indeed more delicious than before, they all followed it, and
It has become a routine.
Han Cheng looked at the grilled fish in front of him and found it hard to swallow. Having eaten grilled fish twice a day for nearly a month, it was hard to swallow when he faced grilled fish again.
Of course, another important reason is that there is no salt!
Salt is the king of flavors, there is nothing wrong with that.
Salt is not only a condiment, but also an element that is extremely needed in the human body.
Han Cheng asked, but neither the smartest shaman in the tribe nor the well-informed elder brother knew what salt was.
It’s true that they don’t know. If they knew, they wouldn’t stop eating every day.
Now, the people in the tribe are becoming more and more lethargic. People seem to be lazy, sleeping far more than they are active.
People in the tribe, including witches, think this is normal, because at this time of year, everyone will be in this state.
Wu told Han Cheng that it would be fine when the weather warms up.
Han Cheng knew that this was not a normal state, but because there was less salt in the body!
In the past, people in the tribe mainly ate animal meat, which contained salt.
And now, since the winter started and the snow fell, everyone in the tribe has not eaten animal meat for a long time. There is a serious lack of salt in the body. It would be strange if they were energetic!
I have to find a way to get some salt!
Han Cheng, who was feeling lazy and unmotivated, ate the fish in his hand one bite at a time, and sighed with melancholy.
