Tonight is destined to be extraordinary for the place newly named Luhe by Han Cheng.
Not only were there two long-legged egrets that were roasted over the fire and eaten, but the other reason was that the tidal flats that had not been cleared by the lucky visitors were now being reclaimed by a group of people.
From the original deserted place, it has become full of fireworks.
Under the flickering firelight, there was the sound of splashing water, and several fish cages that had not been in the water for a long time were pulled out, and a few more jumping fish appeared in them.
The fish cages were brought by Han Cheng and others on the boat.
It is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish. Han Cheng remembered this very philosophical old saying very clearly, so he brought not only a lot of salted fish with him on the boat, but also several fish cages.
Anyway, they have to walk along the river all the way. With these fish cages, they will not starve to death.
However, the fish here are not as easy to catch as the fish in front of Qingque Tribe. You need to put some food in the fish cage as bait to catch them.
The fish were taken out of the fish cage. Tietou was a kind-hearted man who didn't want the fish to suffer. After putting two sticks on the heads of each fish, the fish no longer struggled to death.
The baited fish cage was put back into the water. When you go out, eat as little food as you can to avoid starvation when you can't catch any food.
These fish cages were made by Lai more than half a year ago. Compared with the fish cages originally made by Han Cheng, they are very different.
This kind of fish cage is woven with rattan and has a hollow cylindrical shape. One end is sealed, and a conical funnel also woven with rattan is placed on the other end. The two are firmly connected with the rattan.
.
This kind of fish cage is not only simple and trouble-free to make, but it is also stronger and more durable than the kind of fish cage made by Han Cheng using ropes.
So now, the fish cages of the Qingque tribe have been updated, and all of them have been replaced by this kind of fish cages.
The flames were beating, the aroma of food spread far away, and the gradually darkening night sky became deep and filled with stars.
The eighteen people who followed us had a relatively simple meal.
Two unlucky egrets, as well as newly caught fish, soup made from salted fish brought, and a jar of food similar to pig skin jelly brought.
This thing was cooked by Han Cheng with meat before departure.
Chop the meat into pieces as much as possible, add water to the jar and boil it until it is relatively crumbly, then put it in a jar and let it cool until it condenses like jelly.
This kind of food with added salt is very durable and tastes good.
After dinner, the fire was put out, and under Han Cheng's instructions, everyone returned to the boat.
Push the canoe a certain distance into the water, and secure it to the water with the two poles you carry about ten meters away from the river bank.
They slept in the canoe tonight.
Although the boats Han Cheng and the others were riding in were called canoes, the space in the boats was actually quite large, nearly two meters wide.
This is mainly because there are such thick trees in the place where they live.
Including Han Cheng, a total of nineteen people slept in these four boats. Although it was a bit crowded, they were still able to sleep.
These were all tested by Han Cheng in advance before setting off.
He had no such idea of spending the night on a completely unfamiliar land.
Otherwise, it would be too unfair to be eaten by something in the middle of the night.
Starting from tomorrow, we will check the situation on both sides of the river more frequently.
The most important thing is to see if there are any plants that the Qingque tribe lacks, and it is best to find some necessary ores.
Although his biggest purpose of this trip was to confirm whether this was a primitive reserve, he still had to do these things.
Regardless of whether they are or not, they can't live without them, these things are very important to the Qingque Tribe.
Covered in fur, looking at the stars in the sky, and listening to the occasional sound of river water lapping against the side of the boat, Han Cheng was thinking about something and didn't know when he fell asleep.
When I woke up the next day, I pulled out the fish cage that had been in the water all night, and found a lot of harvest.
Fresh fish, plus a few big birds that were secretly shot by Junior Brother Sha and two other people using bows and arrows, were the breakfast for everyone in the Qingque tribe.
After eating, the fish cages were put back into the water, and everyone walked towards the river bank farther away from the water with weapons and caution.
While walking, he would hit it with the spear or stick in his hand from time to time to make some noise.
Cutting grass can not only scare snakes, but also other things.
On the ground along the way, there are a lot of dead grass in the grassland more than half a meter high, as well as the residue left by the floods over the years.
Han Cheng walked all the way, watching, and for a while he would record something with a charcoal pen on the bark of the tree he was holding.
The view here is much wider than where the Qingque tribe lives. The overall terrain is flat, and the mountains on this side are far away from the river bank.
It's great to open up land and grow crops.
Han Cheng thought this and couldn't help but smile. He had indeed inherited the good racial talents of the Chinese nation. When he saw the land, he wanted to plant something.
Climbing up to a not too high hillock close to the shore, Han Cheng looked around. The surrounding area was full of life and had a wild atmosphere.
After looking at it for a while, a patch of green about a mile away caught Han Cheng's attention.
This is……
Is this bamboo?!
"Let's go over there and have a look."
Han Cheng suppressed the joy in his heart and said to his senior brothers.
After a not-so-easy walk, a bamboo forest appeared in front of us with a clearer appearance.
The jasper-colored slender figure and equally slender leaves make a "swishing" sound in the wind.
There are very few weeds and trees in the forest. There are only withered and yellow bamboo leaves on the ground. I don't know how many years of accumulation there are, along with a few scattered bamboo shoots. Not many bamboo shoots have grown yet.
Han Cheng looked at the bamboo forest and couldn't help but smile.
This is a treasure all over the body! With them, the Qingque Tribe will have another very good material when making things in the future.
In terms of weaving alone, bamboo has many advantages that rattan cannot match.
For example, bamboo can be woven all year round, while rattan has a certain time limit, and its plasticity is much higher than that of rattan.
This is not what excites Han Cheng the most. What excites Han Cheng the most is the bamboo shoots that have not yet grown. These things are absolutely delicious.
During the rapeseed flower blooming season, some of the more impatient bamboo shoots have already emerged from the ground. The underground area is gathering strength and more bamboo shoots are ready to emerge.
"dig!"
Han Cheng said excitedly to his senior brother and the others.
Senior Brother and the others are already delicious, but now under the influence of Han Cheng, there are signs of developing into senior foodies. After learning from Han Cheng that bamboo shoots are delicious, there is no need for Han Cheng to mobilize more, and the few of them are in high spirits.
