Chapter 419: Thoughts of the Green Tribe - Repairing the Pigpen
The Qingque tribe is immersed in the joy of harvest.
Near the rabbit pen, the farthest place in the courtyard from the residential area, senior brother and others are digging the foundation there according to Han Cheng's plan.
Shang and a group of people then transported stones from the quarry.
This is to build a pigsty.
Compared with deer and rabbits, pig pens need to be built with more care. The most important thing is to be strong! The pig's mouth cannot move.
After all, the Qingque tribe now wants to raise native wild boars in captivity, which have never been domesticated. They are very different from the domestic pigs of later generations who just want to eat and fatten with peace of mind.
So after Han Cheng thought about it, he directly asked people to dig the foundation and build it with stones.
If you use an earthen wall to ram it, I'm afraid it won't take long before you're knocked down by this fierce guy.
Another consideration is the cleanliness of the pig pen.
When talking about pigs, the first thing that comes to mind is probably that they are fat and lazy, and the rest is that they are dirty.
This impression is not wrong, this guy is indeed dirty.
In later generations, there were people who fed pigs in the village, and there were quite a few of them, seven or eight.
It's better on weekdays, but once summer comes, the taste is really sour.
It was precisely because of this experience that when choosing the location of the pig pen, Han Cheng arranged it in the farthest place from the residential area.
Fortunately, the Qingque Tribe's yard is large enough, and with such a distance, it will basically not affect the residential area.
This is one solution, and another is to clean and flush the pig pen frequently to wash away all the dirt inside and try to minimize the smell.
This is the most fundamental solution.
However, if you do this, you can't use an earthen wall, because it is often soaked in water. After a long time, there is no need for pigs to arch it, and it will be almost washed away by the water.
Of course, if you want to wash the pigsty clean every day, just using stones to build the pigsty is not enough. The ground inside the pigsty cannot be ignored either.
Han Cheng planned to use stones and cement to cover the entire pigsty with a layer so that it would be easier to clean.
The eldest brother and others who received this news from Han Cheng couldn't help but secretly gasped.
How much effort does this require? How much work is required?
You must know that the area of the pigsty planned by the Son of God is not small at all!
It's just feeding some pigs, is it done with such a big fanfare?
The houses they live in still have earth floors and are not paved with bricks or stones. Now these wild boars that have harmed their tribe have to enjoy such high treatment...
Of course it is necessary.
Han Cheng thought to himself as he looked at the seven wild boar piglets in a temporary pig pen surrounded by stones.
We have just started raising them now, and the number of wild boars is not large yet. As time goes by and the number increases, senior brother and the others will know the power of these guys.
The attacks launched with scent are no less powerful than their fangs!
This was also the biggest reason why he asked the people in the tribe to take advantage of the two days before the millet matured to quickly dig out the foundation of the pig pen.
As for the matter of paving the pigsty with stones, which seemed very huge to the senior brothers, Han Cheng was not too worried.
Firstly, if nothing goes wrong, before the Chinese New Year this year, the population of the Qingque tribe will experience a considerable increase. The source of the growth is the Green tribe, which has gradually taken the bait.
The number of people in the Green Tribe is not too large, but it is still quite large. After joining, the labor force of the Green Bird Tribe will be greatly increased.
When the time comes, construction will begin on the two roads leading to the fields that have not been built so far, and there will also be manpower available for laying pig pens.
Another thing is that some time ago, a stone that was deemed unusable by Shang and others was discovered about a mile away from the quarry.
This kind of stone is like leaves stacked together, and it becomes one piece when you peel it off.
But it is not thick enough and is not a suitable material for building walls or houses.
Han Cheng took a look and found that there were not many exposed parts of the shale there, but he tried digging holes around them with bone shovels and found that there were quite a few buried under the soil.
These patches of shale gave him the greatest confidence in his determination to build a pig pen.
Of course, it will be possible to use these to pave roads when the time comes.
When the time comes, dig out a large pond next to the pig pen or somewhere else, and cover it with a lid to store the things produced by flushing the pig pen, and then use it to fertilize the fields...
These various things require a lot of manpower, but fortunately there is the Green Tribe...
"Ah sneeze~!"
Out of sight, squatting with leaves around his waist, looking at the empty salt shaker again, the green tribe leader continued to worry, and suddenly sneezed loudly, blowing out the snot bubbles from his nose.
He wiped it off skillfully with the back of his hand, and then continued to look at the empty salt shaker and worry.
I kept thinking about how I could get some more salt to eat. There were not many skins left in the tribe.
While he was worrying like this, some things that he had never thought about before quietly emerged in his mind.
He was lost in thought for a while, and then he realized what he was doing, his body shook suddenly, and then he shook his head like a rattle...
Standing next to the simple, temporary pigsty, Han Cheng didn't know what was happening in the distance, nor did he know that he was thinking about it, which made the leader of the Green Tribe blow his nose.
At this time, he was still lying next to the pig pen, looking at the seven wild boar piglets huddled together out of fear and thinking.
There were twelve wild boars, two big and ten small. The biggest one was dead in the trap. The other adult one was in good spirits and not seriously injured, so he could be fed.
However, it was still alive after all. Under Han Cheng's order, the Qingque tribe members stabbed it to death in the trap before getting it out.
The people of the Qingque tribe did not have the slightest psychological pressure to kill the wild boar that fell into the trap, even though its cry before death was particularly miserable.
On the contrary, many people felt pity when they saw the blood falling on the muddy ground.
This blood is collected in a basin and sprinkled with some salt. After it solidifies, it tastes extremely delicious.
Compared to immature piglets, adult wild boars are not ideal candidates for domestication.
And with it around, the seven wild boar cubs will be even more difficult to tame, which also becomes the reason why they must die.
Han Cheng looked here for a while longer, threw a lot of grass into the simple pigsty, and then turned around and left.
He will take it upon himself to cook a sumptuous meal for everyone in the tribe using the wild boar he hunted today.
Just treat it as a reward to everyone in the tribe before taking the sickle.
After all, there are hundreds of acres of millet this year. Once harvesting begins, there will be no time for leisure for a long time. It is necessary to have a good meal before harvesting.
