"The curves in the water are your big eyes. The moon in the water is the round ball in front of you. The fish in the water swimming past the moon are my hands brushing against yours..."
Next to the river of the Qingque tribe, where the smell of flax is peeled and washed, tuneless singing can be heard.
Rather than saying it is singing, it is better to call it roaring song.
However, the people peeling hemp on the shore never tire of it.
As soon as such a made-up song ended, someone immediately followed up - "The black hemp skin is your clothes, the white hemp pole is your body, I peel off the hemp skin..."
Peeling wet hemp in this season is not a good job. The most unbearable thing is not the pungent smell, but the cold hands.
After all, if you stay here for a long time, your sense of smell will become dull and you won't be too sensitive to this smell. How can you stay in an abalone shop for a long time without smelling the smell?
But there is no solution to the problem of frozen hands.
They are working now and cannot wear gloves.
So after doing this kind of work for a while, everyone's mood became a little low.
In order to increase everyone's enthusiasm for work and inspire everyone's spirit, Han Chenggong practiced the art of singing.
What he sang was not a song from later generations, but an improvised one by himself, and he often used metaphors in his sentences.
Just like in the Book of Songs.
Of course, what Han Cheng made up were very serious metaphors, used as examples to inspire others.
As soon as this novel thing came out, it immediately received unanimous praise.
The people who were inspired began to imitate the sentence patterns created by Han Cheng, make up random improvisations, and then 'sing' them out.
Compared to Han Cheng's seriousness and subtlety, the metaphors used by the Qingque tribe are much more direct and direct.
The two songs they just sang were made up by themselves.
Art comes from life, especially primitive and simple art, which is more closely related to life.
The first poems were created from various life situations.
Confucius compiled the "Book of Songs" and deleted it, leaving 300 pieces that were passed down to later generations. There are even famous articles such as "Guan Guan Ju Jiu, on the Island of the River..." and other famous articles such as "The Fantasy of a Single Dog". You can imagine those that were
How much was deleted?
For a preliminary song like Qingque Tribe, it can be said with more direct things.
As the tribe continues to develop and expand, there may be outstanding talents who can innovate based on this foundation.
Create more beautiful, euphemistic and implicit poems.
The originally arduous process of peeling off hemp was actually making many people's eyes watery, and two guys had already gotten into the grass on the side and took a while to come out. This was something Han Cheng did not expect.
Perhaps this program can be kept and developed into an annual hemp peeling love song conference.
When the tribe was large enough and the population was large enough, it evolved into a festival for adult men and women to sing love songs to each other to find spouses.
There is little delay in peeling hemp, having fun, and settling important marriage matters.
Han Cheng thought in his heart as he looked at Hei Wa and Zhuang couple who were picking the blades of grass from each other's hair.
The peeled pockmarks were tied together one by one according to Han Cheng's previous demonstration, making them very neat.
Then someone took these hemp skins to the river and rinsed them with river water to wash away some of the smelly mud and some impurities that had not been completely soaked out of the fibers, and then dried them one by one in the river.
On the grass next to it, take it back to the tribe when you go back.
Wu twisted some hemp with only fiber left into it and twisted it into a rope. Compared with the rope twisted from rope grass of the same thickness, he found that the rope twisted from hemp was stronger than the rope grass.
He nodded with satisfaction, regardless of what the god son said about the hemp cloth and the clothes made of hemp cloth. The mere fact that the rope made of hemp was stronger than the rope grass was enough for the tribe to spend so much effort to make it.
Piles of stripped hemp poles are here to withstand the abuse of the sun and cold wind. Their clothes have been cruelly taken away by the people of the Qingque tribe, just like the Weaver Girl who went to bathe in the lake and had her clothes taken away by the Cowherd.
But the difference is that the Cowherd wanted the Weaver Girl to give him a monkey by playing rogue, while the people of the Qingque tribe simply wanted hemp 'clothes', and after the hemp stalks were dried, they would be burned as firewood.
.
Han Cheng did not follow the advice of his senior brother and others and dug out the water in the retting pit. This would have polluted the river.
The Qingque tribe is still pointing to this river to eat. They may have poured too much sewage into it and smoked out all the fish in the river. What else would they eat?
So after peeling the hemp, at Han Cheng's suggestion, the people of the Qingque tribe began to carry jars of water from the retting pit to the reclaimed land not far away for watering.
Fertile fields.
This water contains a lot of things from Ma's body, so it's quite strong for watering the ground.
The silt in the retting pit was not spared, it was dug out and put into the ground. This stuff is more fertile than retting water.
After such a period of operations, the adverse effects of retting on the river were minimized.
Cleaning up the retting pit and blowing the horn of the Qingque tribe to fertilize the fields kicked off the process.
After doing this, they began to transport the fertilizer that had accumulated in the manure pit for nearly a year to the fields. The soil from the places where fish entrails were often buried was also dug up and transported to the fields.
Early winter is a good time to add fertilizer to the ground.
Firstly, people are relatively free, and secondly, adding fertilizer to the ground at this time will help the fertilizer mix with the soil. It will be just right to harrow the ground in the following spring.
The agreement between Han Cheng and Wu has not been forgotten. On the ten acres of scattered and enclosed land, there is no fertilizer at all, not even the ashes produced by burning dead branches and leaves.
Many people in the Qingque tribe are very interested in this comparison.
Because since they started farming, they have always heard from the Son of God that planting and fertilizing the land is good for the land and can increase yields.
But they don't know how much it can increase and how effective it is compared to land without fertilization, and they don't have a clear idea.
It was Han Cheng's suggestion to spread out the ten acres of land in circles.
These ten acres of land include slope land, flat land, and land near rivers, covering all types of land owned by the Qingque tribe.
The results obtained in this way are more convincing, lest someone later think that the difference in yield is due to different terrain.
While the Qingque tribe was actively fertilizing the fields, looking forward to a bumper harvest next year, and seeing the important role of fertilization, a crisis was also coming towards the deer that were grazing far away from the tribe.
