Chapter 796 A daunting task that can be passed down as an heirloom
(Additional update 3/5 for book friends’ Eden reward)
This conversion ratio is a bit too complicated for the old primitive people.
Han Cheng explained it to Mao, and after confirming that Mao understood what he meant, he asked Mao to convey it to the old primitive people.
Mao pointed at what was written on the wooden board and talked for a while. After seeing that the old primitive man and the others still didn't understand, he scratched his hair and led the old primitive man and the others to start walking towards the bronze highway that had been built for some distance.
He asked the stone to measure a hundred meters in length with a ruler and circled it with lime powder. Then he pointed at this distance and pointed at a large spoonful of salt scooped out of the salt shaker, and then said ok.
It took them a while to understand that after building a road of such a distance, they would be able to get this.
After confirming that some of the old primitive people understood this exchange, Mao took out five more bowls, then pointed at these five normal-sized pottery bowls and continued to communicate to the old primitive people in his own way.
After having an understanding of salt, the old primitive people understood more quickly that building a road of such a distance could be exchanged for five precious pottery bowls.
However, although it seemed that the old primitive people had understood it, Han Cheng asked Mao to demonstrate it to them several times to make sure that they really understood it.
Because he was worried that the old primitive people would interpret it as building a 100-meter road, so that they could get so many things at the same time.
If this is really the case, misunderstandings may arise in the future.
In fact, at the beginning, Han Cheng wanted to calculate it according to the number of days. Later, after thinking about it, he changed it to the current method of more work and more gain.
In this case, it may prevent some people from being lazy.
Although according to the upright character of these people nowadays, these people basically will not do this, but there is nothing wrong with taking precautions in advance.
The old primitive people looked at the salt shakers, pottery bowls, and yellow food placed on the roadside, and then looked at the road surrounded by lime, which seemed to be only a short distance away.
Light.
They all know the deliciousness and usefulness of table salt and pottery. The old primitive man and the other five people from the Wind Tribe have also eaten that kind of yellow food, and they are very impressed by it, especially the combination of this food.
It's even more delicious if you eat the dishes prepared by Qingque Tribe.
These are all good things!
Nowadays, it is only necessary to build a road of such a distance, and it is possible to obtain these things. It would be strange if their eyes did not shine.
Even stimulated by these things, the old primitive people are now eager to start building roads one by one.
The old primitive man stretched out his left hand. After looking at the fingers on his left hand for a while, he thought for a while and then stretched out his right hand, stretching the two hands together, and then showed a satisfied smile.
He felt that with these people in his tribe, he could build as many roads divided into sections as there were fingers on both hands in one day.
After learning about the ambitions of the old primitive man from Mao who was standing beside him and translating, Han Cheng had a smile on his face.
When coming up with such a 'wage schedule', Han Cheng referred to the speed at which his tribe built these roads.
On the premise that they are proficient in using various tools for road construction and are relatively proficient in building roads, twenty adults in their tribe can only build more than 110 meters of dirt roads in a day.
That's all.
Today, there are two tribes, the Feng Tribe and the Linfeng Tribe. One tribe has twenty-two adults, and the other tribe has twenty-five adults.
With such a number of people, a tribe still wants to build a thousand meters in one day. They really think that they are all human bulldozers and road rollers!
However, he thought so in his heart, but Han Cheng did not let Mao tell the old primitive people about these things. It is always good to have such ambitions...
Sometimes, if you don't work hard, you won't realize what despair is.
In the evening, looking at the old primitive people and the others looking at the two sections of the road that had just been built, with expressions of despair, Han Cheng suddenly had such a poisonous sentence in his mind.
chicken soup.
Thinking about the complacency of the old primitive people before, and looking at how they seemed to have lost all their dreams at the moment, Han Cheng felt that this poisonous chicken soup statement was quite reasonable...
When the old primitive people arrived on the first day, the accommodation was not well repaired. The adults rested in the courtyard of the Tongshan residential area that night, while the minors slept in the Qingque tribe's house.
Because the doors and windows of the houses of the Qingque tribe are made of burlap and bamboo sheets to make window screens and door curtains, if mosquitoes come in, they will also light wormwood ropes to smoke them, so there are basically no mosquitoes.
existence.
Lying on a flat and spacious earthen kang with a cool bamboo mat underneath, a piece of soft fur on my belly to prevent catching a cold, smelling the pleasant smell left by the burning mugwort in the room.
Thinking back on the delicious food and that
The food called "canned food" is so delicious that people will never forget it, and the noble Son of God's kind and kind smile. These minors from the Wind Tribe and the neighboring Wind Tribe who live together feel that today's experience is just like
Like a wonderful dream.
They immediately fell in love with this tribe who came here for the first time.
As the night gradually grew darker, and with the sound of people sleeping outside slapping mosquitoes with their hands from time to time, these minors gradually fell asleep.
For the first time in the summer, they were not bitten by mosquitoes, and they slept very peacefully. Some of the little ones didn't know what good things they saw in their sleep, and they actually laughed out loud...
The old primitive people obviously have the good quality of becoming more and more courageous with every setback. Yesterday, each of them was hit hard. This morning, they got up early and ate two bowls of cool wild vegetables with two chopsticks.
Millet porridge, and then thinking about the salt that can be obtained after the road is repaired, everyone becomes motivated again.
However, Han Cheng came over with Mao and the others and stopped the old primitive man and others.
Mao pointed to the long hair of the old primitive people, and then pointed to the short hair of himself and others, and began to communicate with the old primitive people.
After this exchange went on for a while, a scene like this appeared in the courtyard of the Qingque Tribe——
Two people from the Wind Tribe sat stiffly on the wooden pier, with a piece of bare leather wrapped around their necks. The two people from the Qingque Tribe held a wooden comb in one hand and a wooden comb in the other.
The bronze scissors kept clicking and cutting.
As they moved, hair fell down one after another. If a large glass mirror was set up in front, it would look more like a barber shop in later generations.
Next to them, the old primitive man whose appearance had changed greatly, and another man who had just had his hair cut, kept touching their heads with their hands, looking curious.
Shortening your hair is comfortable. Not only does it feel comfortable to touch with your hands, but your head also becomes lighter, and more importantly, it keeps you cool!
You can feel the comfort of the cold wind blowing on your scalp!
Seeing the old primitive people touching their heads with admiration and admiration, the rest of the people who were originally reluctant to cut their hair also became excited at this time.
I want to quickly experience the comfort of short hair.
Even the female primitive people want to have a haircut just like the male primitive people.
However, Han Cheng did not allow such a thing.
Because a person with a short haircut has big breasts, Han Cheng felt awkward just thinking about this situation.
These women also had some of their hair cut off, but not too much, and the remaining hair was still above their waists.
Then, under the leadership of some primitive women in the Tongshan residential area, we went to the lower reaches of the stream to wash our hair.
Smooth and fragrant soap smells great and should taste delicious too.
It was the first time that the female primitives of the Feng tribe and the Linfeng tribe saw something like soap, and they swallowed hard at the soap.
There was even a female primitive who couldn't help but take some off, secretly put it into her mouth and chewed it slowly. Then when she opened her mouth, bubbles came out of her mouth, and the people around her burst into laughter.
Good-natured laughter.
Under the teachings of the women of the Qingque tribe, these primitive women understood the correct way to use soap.
After wetting your hair with stream water, take this fragrant and slippery stuff and hit it on your hair, rub it with your hands for a while, and your hands and head will be covered with white foam.
These people who were washing their hair with soap for the first time looked at the white foam on their hands, and then looked up at the white clouds floating in the blue sky. Everyone was surprised and full of faces.
novel.
Through the novelty of the kind-hearted tribe, they actually held the clouds in the sky in their hands!
After washing your hair, take a comb and start combing it step by step.
Women always have a natural affinity for things like combs. Without even a few demonstrations from the women of the Qingque tribe, people in these two tribes have already learned to use combs to comb their hair.
After the hair was dry, I started braiding it by the stream.
Many women in the Wind Tribe have learned the skill of braiding hair under the guidance of the primitive woman who visited the Tongshan residential area of the Qingque Tribe three times.
The primitive women of the Linfeng tribe didn't know that. They stood there with envious expressions on their faces.
So, the women of the Qingque tribe came to weave them. After weaving, they used headbands made of linen strips dyed red or yellow and tied a beautiful bow at the end. From a distance, it looked like
It was like beautiful butterflies landing on their hair, very beautiful.
The women, who had their hair braided and tied up in beautiful bows, looked at their reflections in the water and were all stunned.
In the past, they were always busy with life, so they never paid much attention to their own image.
Now, under the leadership of the kind-hearted Qingque tribe, after they had freshened up and dressed up, they suddenly discovered that they were actually so beautiful.
When they returned from the stream, these women with new looks were chattering and laughing as they walked back.
Although there is a language barrier between them, some speak Mandarin, and some speak the simple and unpronounceable language of the tribe, it is undeniable that the communication between the two parties is very cheerful.
Sometimes, it is so easy to establish a relationship between women. A beautiful headband or a new hairstyle can greatly promote the relationship between them and make them excited and chatter about it for a long time.
This is true whether it is primitive people or women of later generations.
But relatively speaking, the happiness among primitive people who are accustomed to collective life is purer and simpler.
The minors of the two tribes also performed the same thing.
They went to the stream, took a bath with soap, and had their hair cut. Each one of them looked like a different person.
Boys, like adult men, have short hair.
The girls cut their hair to ear level and put it into two braids.
The ends of the braid are also tied with two bows using dyed linen.
As they ran, the curved braids swayed, and the bows tied on them also danced up and down. It really looked like two beautiful butterflies lying on their hair, fluttering and dancing.
Same……
The old primitive people looked at these laughing and running minors, and felt a little touched in their hearts.
They suddenly realized that these minors in the tribe were very good-looking.
Seeing them so happy at this time, and recalling how they cried from hunger before, even the old primitive people felt that such a scene was particularly comforting, even more comforting than eating delicious food.
.
Han Cheng felt very comfortable watching this scene.
This is not only because if they don't speak, the people of the Wind Tribe and the Linfeng Tribe will no longer look any different from the people of their own tribes. More importantly, these people have become clean and are no longer the same as before.
That would make people uncomfortable to look at.
"Get these out and burn them."
Han Cheng pointed at the pile of chopped hair and said.
There are no haircutters in this world, so Han Cheng naturally didn't feel bad at all when the cut hair was taken out and burned.
Moreover, even if there are people who trim the hair, Han Cheng will still burn the hair, because there are some indescribable and uncomfortable little animals in these cut hair...
In the morning, they took baths and had haircuts. In the afternoon, people from the two tribes continued to build the settlement. Han Cheng, Shitou and others served as technical guides here.
Because this is an extremely important road to the Qingque tribe, it was built with great care.
Someone in the front removed grass roots and tree roots, and someone in the back shoveled the soil to level it.
These are not the most spectacular. What is most spectacular are those who shouted slogans and pounded the earth.
"One, two, three! Hey~!"
"Come on! Hey~!"
"Four, five, six! Hey~!"
"Come and eat meat! Hey~!"
As loud trumpets sounded, the stone piers tied up with thick hemp ropes flew up and down in the air as people's arms rose. Each time they fell, they made a muffled sound, and the earth followed.
Trembling slightly.
The loose soil that had just been shoveled was dented quite a bit by the heavy stone piers.
The slogan was created by Han Cheng.
When performing tasks such as ramming earth that require the joint efforts of many people, shouting chants not only increases energy, but also allows everyone to exert force together, so that the energy can be used in one place.
It's a very good method.
It's just that the people of these two tribes have not yet learned to speak Mandarin. The people who shout the slogans are the people of the Qingque tribe. The people who pound the soil in these two tribes are only responsible for "Hey!"
Looking at the long-legged people with red faces and thick necks shouting slogans, as well as the people from the two tribes of the Wind tribe who made a "Hey!" sound and raised the stone pier to the sky, Han Cheng suddenly remembered the songs he used in later generations.
The Phoenix Legend who dominated square dancing...
After the road was compacted, it was not over yet. Someone from behind led the donkey of the Qingque tribe and pulled the stone roller used for grinding to crush it back and forth...
When the people of these two tribes were building roads here, the trading team of the Qingque tribe, under the order of Han Cheng, walked forward for almost fifteen miles along the previously opened road and chose a
The area is relatively flat and a clearing has been cleared near the road.
Then, on this open space, the felled wood and branches were used to build a house here, imitating the semi-cave house of the semi-agricultural tribe.
This is the work shed that was built.
The road now built is not too long and is not far from the Tongshan residential area. These people can go back to the Tongshan courtyard to rest at night and continue working in the morning.
But once the road is built far away, running back and forth like this is no longer realistic.
So Han Chenggong asked someone to build a work shed here in advance to prepare for the future.
Otherwise, it would be really unsafe to live in the wilderness at night.
This semi-cave-dwelling circular building of the semi-agricultural tribe is simple to build, and is most suitable for building this kind of temporary living shed.
Around the four round houses that were built, a small fence was built using branches, tree stumps and other things.
A little over one meter in height.
Although it is lower, it can still play a certain defensive role.
While these things were being done, there were people from the Wind Tribe and the Linfeng Tribe here to watch and participate in the process.
This was arranged intentionally by Han Cheng.
After all, they can't stay here for too long, and they can't build all the needed sheds along the way.
After they left, the people from these two tribes had to build the subsequent work sheds themselves.
As for whether this method of building houses would be learned by people from these two tribes, Han Cheng was not worried at all, because it was not a core thing in the tribe.
The most important thing in the tribe is farming.
Without sufficient food support, it doesn't matter that they learned the skill of building houses.
Moreover, in Han Cheng's plan, the people of these tribes will be able to become their own people when the time comes.
At this time, it doesn't matter if they learn some of these things in advance, because sooner or later they will all belong to the same tribe.
Although this kind of domed semi-cave house is far less majestic and tall than the houses built with stones and wooden beams seen in the Tongshan residential area, it has never been a problem for living in a cave.
For those two people from other tribes who have never participated in house construction, it is still strange to rely on their hands and some common materials to make such a 'cave' on the ground that can be used to live in.
It's so novel that it can even be called surprising.
After the construction was completed, the two people looked at the several dome huts that appeared here and the fence made of tree branches around the huts. Then they looked down at their hands, as if they couldn't believe that these things were them and them.
The people of this kind tribe built it with their hands...
Under the premise that every hundred meters of road built could get something from the Qingque tribe, it was natural for the old primitive people to use these minors in their tribe.
Of course, these minors cannot ram the soil, but they can still do some work such as clearing grass roots and tree roots.
However, Han Cheng did not let these minors participate in labor for a full day, but only for half a day.
The remaining half day was not idle, but they completed the measurements easily and taught them how to speak Mandarin and write by using lime powder to circle road-shaped stones.
Then, after these minors were allowed to go back, the adults of their tribe taught them that they were only required to speak Mandarin, and that relatively difficult things like Chinese characters were not required.
The old primitive people saw these minors in their tribe living such a happy life. Although they felt a little distressed about some of the work that had been delayed, they still held a very supportive attitude toward this.
After these little guys came back, they were always taught to speak some of the awkward words of this tribe, which made the old primitive people quite miserable.
After the kind-hearted son of God said that if these minors were to learn from the stones, the Qingque tribe could provide half of the food subsidy for these minors every day, the old primitive people who had no objections had no objections to this.
It becomes even more unobjectionable.
Han Cheng's mood became very wonderful when he saw these people from the two tribes who had the same hairstyle as his own tribe, worked hard for their tribe, and gradually learned to speak their own tribe's language.
When he was alone in a place where people couldn't see him, Han Cheng would show some lewd smiles on his face from time to time, looking like a fox who had stolen a chicken.
Looking at these people who were speaking Mandarin in a somewhat stiff manner, Han Cheng suddenly had the idea of how great it would be if all the tribes could speak Mandarin.
In this way, later generations of descendants will not be tortured to death by the words of other foreign tribes.
This is indeed a very good idea, Han Cheng thought as he held his chin, and in his mind a blond man with blue eyes and a snow-white body and a black man who looked like he had just come out of burning charcoal met, shook hands with each other warmly, and then said
The scene of greeting each other in pure Mandarin and then chatting enthusiastically, with a few words such as "Your uncle" coming out from time to time in the process, suddenly felt very wonderful.
However, for such a thing to really happen, the difficulty level is more than ten times greater than cultivating rapeseed into real Chinese cabbage.
Not only is this a series that I will find difficult to complete in my lifetime, but even if I include Little Wandou, and Little Wandou’s son and grandson, it is still a bit mysterious.
This is a task that can be passed down as a family heirloom to endless generations of descendants!
Han Cheng took Shang with them and stayed here for another seven days. After seeing that some things had been decided and the remaining things only needed to be done step by step and there would be no problems, he explained some things to Junior Brother Sha and the others.
Things that need attention, prepare to leave here and return to the Qingque Lord Tribe.
It didn't take long for them to come out this time.
However, Shitou, a high-end technician, needs to stay. He is mainly responsible for measuring the road and drawing the outline of the road for the people of the two tribes to build.
And at the same time, the people of these two tribes are recorded as working, and when they need it, the people of these two tribes are paid their 'salary'.
We also need to check the quality of the roads built by these two tribes.
In addition to these three things, there is another important task, which is to continue to teach these minors to learn Mandarin and Chinese characters.
Shi Shi is no stranger to teaching these things. He is very good at it, because he often did these things when he was in the main tribe. Most of the people who later joined the Qingque tribe were taught to speak Mandarin by Shi Shi.
.
Regarding the departure of Han Cheng and others, Junior Brother Sha and the people in the Tongshan residential area seemed very reluctant to leave.
Because the presence of the Son of God these days made them feel very at ease and secure. It was a feeling of having a backbone that could not be replaced by the Qingque Flag.
Not only them, the old primitive people who were building roads for the Qingque tribe also showed some reluctance when they learned that Han Cheng and the others were leaving the Tongshan residential area and going to another tribe's residence.
and panic.
These days, they have all become accustomed to the existence of this kind son of God.
With the Son of God here, everything will be arranged in order...
Even more reluctant than them were the minors from the two tribes.
After all, during this period of time, Han Cheng was the member of the Qingque tribe who had the most contact with them besides Stone.
And when nothing happens, he will take them to play some games or open a can to eat.
Treat them very kindly.
Here in Han Cheng, these minors experienced something they had never experienced before.
Therefore, after knowing that Han Cheng was about to leave here, it would be strange if they were willing to give up.
Some older minors couldn't help wiping their tears.
They had migrated with the tribe and thought that Han Cheng would never come back and they would never see their respected son of god again.
After learning the thoughts of these little guys, Han Cheng's nose was sore. He helped them wipe their tears and comforted them with a smile.
"I will come back when the time comes, and we can still see each other. And after this road is repaired, it will be very close from here to our other place of residence. If you want to see me when the time comes, go along the
Just keep walking along this road and you'll be fine."
Mao translated the meaning of Han Cheng's words to them, and the minors felt a lot better after they understood what Han Cheng meant.
After staying here for a while, Han Cheng led the trading team and set off from the Tongshan residential area along a road built for more than three miles towards the location of the main Qingque tribe.
The minors of these two tribes and the old primitive people, along with Junior Brother Sha and others from the Tongshan residential area, were sent to the end of the road.
Under Han Cheng's repeated persuasion, he stayed here and reluctantly watched Han Cheng and the others go away.
It wasn't until the green bird flag floating slightly in the breeze gradually disappeared from sight that everyone slowly dispersed and each went about their own business.
These minors who have lived in the Tongshan residential area for a while and lived a carefree life have all become much quieter this morning.
With a stern face and tools in his hands, he was seriously working on road construction.
They wanted to build this road as soon as possible, so that they could go to another place to see the respected Son of God.
This is what the Son of God said, and the Son of God would never lie to them. Everything the Son of God told them these days has come true, and this time will be no exception!
Not only them, the old primitive people were also more energetic and serious about building roads than before.
Because they were also a little reluctant to leave the Son of God, and also wanted to visit another place where the Son of God and the others lived.
In the past few days, they have also learned more or less about another place where some tribes live.
Knowing that there are taller walls, more friendly people, and more delicious food...
And as long as they can build this road, they can go there and have a look...
Time passed so quickly, it was only early summer when Han Cheng started planning to build the Bronze Expressway.
And now, when everything is on track, midsummer has passed quietly and the breath of autumn has arrived.
While walking on the road, occasionally some yellow leaves will fall from the trees, like flowers and butterflies.
"Quack quack..."
"Pullingleng..."
A group of wild ducks with a touch of green feathers on their heads were alarmed by the movement caused by Han Cheng and his group. They quacked and flapped their wings in the distance, leaving panic everywhere.
Han Cheng stopped and looked at the wild ducks that flew away and then fell into the water with a thoughtful look on his face.
This was not because he suddenly wanted to catch all these mallard ducks and eat roast duck, but because he remembered something else related to this place.
