Chapter 720 This era is not allowed to become refined!
As the name suggests, the so-called cellar is to dig a grain cellar on the ground to store grain.
However, unlike cellars such as radish cellars, sweet potato cellars, and cabbage cellars that require moisture, cellars for storing grains cannot get wet.
After thinking of the method of cellaring, the method of building a grain cellar also appeared in Han Cheng's mind.
Basically, choose a place with relatively high terrain and low groundwater to dig a grain cellar.
After digging, ram the soil inside the grain cellar, pile firewood into the grain cellar, light a fire and bake it. After the bottom and four walls of the grain cellar are almost baked, lay dry firewood on top of the plant ash on the bottom floor.
of wooden boards with grain stacked on them.
However, the grain cannot be in direct contact with the surrounding soil walls. It needs to be surrounded by a woven bag made of millet stalks, hemp stalks and the like.
In the gaps between these things and the earth wall, fill them with a layer of plant ash, wheat bran, and grain bran to prevent moisture.
There are also certain things to pay attention to when loading grain into the cellar. You need to dry the grain very well in the sun first, and then wait until the weather gets cold in winter before loading the grain into the grain cellar. This is to achieve low-temperature storage.
After installation, seal the kiln and it’s done.
Grain stored in this way can last for at least three to five years without deterioration.
And because it is stored underground, there is no need to worry about being bitten by insects or rats.
And there is no need to empty out the stored grain and dry it in the sun at least once a year like ordinary grain storage.
This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that because the grain is stored underground through cellars, there is no need to worry about burning the grain in a fire!
Thinking of the various benefits of cellaring, Han Cheng became more and more excited.
As for the expense of digging soil to build a grain cellar, Han Cheng didn't care at all.
Compared with such a good method of storing food, it doesn't matter even if it takes a little time.
Moreover, for the Qingque tribe, which is currently carrying out large-scale construction projects, it is not too troublesome to dig out some grain cellars. After all, they need to use a lot of soil every day to build houses and other things.
Just two of the large fish ponds outside the tribe have been dug out so far!
After thinking about the matter, Han Dashenzi took a big bite of the raw radish, chewed it hard, and ran to the tribe like a joy, ready to tell the people in the tribe the good news.
It was at this time that the dogs wandering around the tribe began to bark "woo woo woo".
While shouting, he also ran towards the east of the tribe.
Han Cheng squinted his eyes and looked around, only to see a few figures appearing at the end of the field.
It was too far away to see who was coming.
However, from the fact that they did not turn around and run away when surrounded by many dogs, or they used the weapons in their hands to attack the dogs, we knew that these people had been to the tribe before.
Han Cheng stood here and did not go east. After hearing the noise, the senior brother led some people out.
Until now, the vigilance of the people of the Qingque tribe has not decreased at all.
When they came out after hearing the noise, they had weapons in their hands.
This is a valuable lesson learned from the two previous attacks by the Soaring Snake Tribe and the sudden attack by the Bone Tribe.
After waiting for a while, the senior brother led some people with weapons and headed east. Han Chengzai continued to stand here and watch...
"It's the Sheep Tribe!"
After Senior Brother and the others passed by, it didn't take long for them to return.
Seeing Han Cheng still standing here, Senior Brother shouted from a distance to convey the news to Han Cheng.
It turned out to be a sheep tribe.
Han Cheng felt relieved.
Yes, during this time of year, people from the sheep tribe will bring a large number of sheep to the tribe for exchange.
During this period of time, I have been thinking about the food cellar, but I have forgotten that the sheep tribe has not come to exchange things yet!
Haha, I'm going to be in for a treat this time. Fresh mutton stewed with fresh radish is also a rare delicacy.
As for the lamb chops, which don’t have too much meat, they are particularly fascinating when grilled over charcoal fire.
Han Cheng swallowed his saliva and thought like this, but his brows slowly wrinkled.
As the senior brother and the others continued to approach, he could already see the people from the Sheep Tribe who were coming.
The people from the sheep tribe who came this time were not only small in number, but they also did not bring any sheep with them.
Moreover, among the few people who came, Han Cheng did not see the leader of the Sheep Tribe.
What's going on?
“￥%……”
After meeting Han Cheng, the older primitive man from the Sheep tribe seemed a little reserved and fearful. However, after thinking about what happened to their tribe, he quickly overcame these and said to Han Cheng in a loud voice.
Got up.
Looking at the old primitive man who spoke very hastily, Han Cheng's brows furrowed even more.
On the one hand, it was because from the reactions of these people, he could confirm that something bad had indeed happened to the Sheep Tribe. On the other hand, the old primitive man spoke too quickly, and Han Cheng could not quite understand what he was doing now.
What does it mean?
Han Cheng stopped the old primitive man and motioned for them to enter the tribe before talking.
At the same time, people were asked to quickly find Mao, a foreign language talent who often dealt with many tribes, and asked people to make some food for these people.
After all, judging from the tired looks on these people's faces, they must have not eaten for a long time.
Now that we have other things to do, it's not a time to do business, so naturally we don't need to spend as much money as we did in the past.
After arranging these, Han Cheng asked his senior brother to arrange some manpower to pay attention to the situation and call back everyone outside the courtyard.
The situation is unclear now, so there is nothing wrong with being cautious.
With the arrival of several people from the Sheep Tribe and Han Cheng's instructions, the Qingque Tribe immediately became nervous.
Of course, this kind of nervousness refers to the cautious and solemn attitude of everyone in the tribe when facing danger. It does not mean that the nervousness is caused by fear of danger.
As Mao translated on the side, Han Cheng's brows gradually wrinkled, and the expressions of the senior leaders of the Qingque tribe, such as the eldest brother and the wizard who were waiting for him on the side, also became solemn.
At this time, Han Cheng did not think about the fact that the sheep tribe actually knew a migration path for the sheep. Instead, he was thinking about what happened to the leaders of the sheep tribe and them.
According to what this sheep tribe member said, the leader of the sheep tribe most likely encountered something unexpected.
And the person who attacked them was probably a relatively powerful tribe.
Because there are nearly twenty adult primitive people, no wild beast can kill them all.
Another reason is that even if we encounter extremely ferocious beasts and the entire sheep tribe is wiped out, these beasts will not take away the pottery anyway!
After all, it is not allowed to become a spirit in this era.
