In the room, Han Cheng looked through the large and small stones that Shang and the others brought back.
Picking up a piece and looking at it carefully for a while, I thought to myself and put it aside.
limestone.
Boom.
Han Cheng picked up another stone. After identifying it, he habitually threw it aside. Then he realized it, quickly picked it up again, and put it aside alone.
This made everyone watching on the side with their hearts sinking. They secretly breathed a sigh of relief. They finally found it, otherwise this trip would have been in vain.
They breathed a sigh of relief, but Han Cheng did not. He checked all the stones and found no trace of metal ore. Naturally, he could not relax.
"Son of God, this piece..."
Seeing that Han Cheng seemed a little disappointed, Wu quickly pointed to the limestone and said to Han Cheng.
It means Han Cheng doesn't need to be sad, isn't there another piece of it?
Han Cheng sighed slightly, limestone is indeed a good thing, but that was in the past or in the future.
Nowadays, there are substitutes such as plant ash in the tribe, and there is no place where lime is used on a large scale. For the current tribe, metal ore is the most important mineral resource.
Under such circumstances, he naturally couldn't be happy.
After learning from Han Cheng that the only stone left behind was not a stone that could be used to refine metal, but a stone that could be used to burn cement, Wu and others were not happy anymore.
Especially Shang and Mao, who had been running outside for a long time, lowered their heads in sadness.
Only then did Han Cheng realize that something was wrong. He patted the limestone in his hand and said, "Good things are not easy to come by, and it is even more difficult to get good things like metal at once.
Didn’t we gain something this time?
Mao, please open the map and tell me where you got it."
Most primitive people have simple minds. When Han Cheng said this, he felt much better.
Mao quickly took out a piece of tanned, hairless animal skin.
On one side of this animal hide, several rough marks were carved with relatively sharp stones, and the marks were dyed black with charcoal.
On the edges of these traces, there are some circles that are not round.
The circles are not the same either.
Some circles have only one circle, while others have two circles, one large and one small.
This is the map drawn by the Trade Institute under Han Cheng's guidance.
The black lines represent roads, and the circles represent tribes.
A single circle indicates that the number of adults is less than thirty, and two circles indicates that the number of adults is more than thirty but less than sixty.
Although this map looks extremely simple, like a few irregular fruits on a few crooked branches, it is of great significance.
At the very least, I can have a general understanding of the location of the surrounding tribes, and it will no longer be as dark as before.
Mao's memory is very good, especially in remembering directions.
He looked at the piece of limestone in Han Cheng's hand, tilted his head and thought for a while, then his eyes began to search on the map, and after a while he reached out and pointed to a circle on the map.
Meaning this is where the limestone was obtained.
Shang, who was traveling with him, was a little dizzy. This time they went out and visited several tribes, and the things they exchanged were many and miscellaneous. He couldn't remember which tribe they got them from.
While feeling dizzy, I had more admiration for the guys here who were not very strong in combat.
After Han Cheng confirmed it again from Mao, he used a sharp stone to carve the words "limestone" there.
This way, when the time tribe needs a lot of limestone, they can find it somewhere.
Shang Hemao's behavior of taking his caravans out for trade can also be called the great geographical discovery of the Qingque tribe.
Through discoveries and records, the people of the Qingque tribe will become more familiar with the conditions surrounding the tribe.
After recording this, Han Cheng turned his attention to the other pocket, which contained various seeds exchanged by Shang and the others.
The stones didn't bring much surprise, and I don't know if there are any surprises in these seeds.
This feels like a lottery draw.
He reached for a leather bag and untied the rope on it. Before Han Cheng could pour it out, some yellow beads rolled out.
Seeing these yellow balls, Han Cheng's eyes became solemn.
A sense of surprise and anxiety instantly filled my heart.
He quickly picked up these small yellow balls, put them in his hands, and observed them carefully.
The whole ball is yellow, with a small patch of brown on the back, like a narrow line.
It's not big, about one-third the size of a soybean from later generations.
Han Cheng watched for a while, suppressed the growing joy in his heart, picked up a piece with slightly trembling hands, put it into his mouth, and chewed it slowly and hard.
Soon, the unique taste of raw soybeans filled the entire mouth.
Although the taste was not good, Han Cheng was smiling.
Seeing Han Cheng's reaction, Wu, Senior Brother, Shang, and others also became happy. It seemed that they had found something good.
At that moment, Wu, who was the second boss of the Qingque tribe, followed the steps of the first boss and picked up a soybean grain and put it into his mouth, biting it hard and slowly with his open teeth.
.
I want to taste the taste of this seed that makes even the son of God, who is known for his tricky mouth, eat it with a smile.
As a result, the taste was not very good, neither sour nor astringent, but there was an indescribable taste that made people feel a little uncomfortable.
Han Cheng spit out the chewed soybeans, found water to rinse his mouth, and the smile on his face became even stronger.
As soon as he opened the leather bag, he was given such a big surprise, which he really didn't expect.
Logically speaking, doesn't the boss usually appear later? Why is it that he suddenly unleashes his ultimate move now?
Could there be something more surprising behind?
It would be great if we could collect all the grains directly!
I quickly went to look through this leather bag.
This leather bag contains basically relatively primitive soybeans.
In addition, there are some small, black seeds. I don't know what they are, and Han Cheng can't recognize them.
Immediately, someone found a bamboo sieve and put all the soybean grains and pods in. They were so careful that not even a single soybean was missed.
When ready, pass through a sieve to separate the black seeds mixed in. Store these soybeans separately and reserve them for use as seeds.
With these soybeans, slowly, the soybeans in the tribe can also develop into a large scale!
After finishing the soybeans, Han Cheng came in and opened a second leather bag with great expectations.
