Chapter 980 It seems that something is not right (two in one)
The days pass by in this kind of waiting.
When the day passes, it feels like a long time. When I think about it after the day is over, I feel that a lot of time has passed in just the blink of an eye, which is so fast that it makes people feel panicked.
In the blink of an eye, midsummer has arrived.
Han Cheng didn't know when cicadas appeared, but at least they existed when he was living.
Cicada larvae are called "crawling forks" in Han Cheng's hometown.
Han Cheng himself doesn't know whether this writing is accurate, but he can guarantee that the pronunciation is correct.
This stuff is an absolute delicacy.
Together with watermelons, small nets, rivers, popsicles, and ice bags, they form childhood summer memories.
Holding a flashlight or a heavy miner's lamp at night and climbing forks in a poplar or tong tree garden is something I do every summer.
You can touch it when climbing the fork, but you can also encounter some other things.
Toads are common things. Sometimes if you are lucky, you can see some long insects burrowing out of the cracks in the trees.
Some long worms will also coil on the tree trunks, entangle their crawling forks, and compete with humans for food.
After catching the climbing fork, wash it with water, put oil in the iron pot, heat it up, add some chili peppers, and stir-fry it, it tastes really good.
Serious chicken flavor.
Especially the part behind the forked head tastes more delicious and makes people want to stop eating it.
Of course, this is based on the situation that no one closes the climbing fork.
If someone collects the fork, they will be reluctant to eat the fork they touch.
Instead, after returning home, he soaked it in clean water and left it there waiting for the person who collected the climbing fork to come the next day, and then sold it.
At that time, homes generally did not have refrigerators, and sometimes the people who collected the forks would come only every two or three days.
In order to prevent the climbing fork from deteriorating and unable to be sold, a small net bag will be placed, the climbing fork will be placed inside, the mouth will be tied with a rope, and the hanging fork will be hung in the well for refrigeration.
Two climbing forks cost a dime. At most, Han Cheng sold them for two yuan and thirty cents in one night.
At that time, with the two yuan and thirty cents, Han Cheng felt that he had reached the pinnacle of his life.
Not to mention the kind of contentment, it is really so cool that it is so cool that you even don’t recognize your relatives.
The feeling of being able to go to the school canteen and do some shopping is really great!
However, as I grow older, this feeling gradually disappears.
People who used to feel extremely rich with two yuan and thirty cents and dared to venture into anything, now don't even dare to go out and do errands with two hundred and thirty cents.
As I grow older, I gradually lose that innocence.
I don’t know if I need to face it, there are too many things to consider, or I deeply understand the difficulty of making money.
As for spending money...
There is money everywhere in life...
At this time, Han Cheng was frying forks here.
These climbing forks were caught by the tribesmen at night, lighting torches.
Nowadays, food is relatively scarce here in Jinguan City. Naturally, something that tastes extremely delicious like climbing fork will not be spared by the Qingque tribesmen who try their best to collect food.
After being deceived by Han Dashenzi again, everyone in the tribe couldn't be too active.
This was the effect produced even when Han Cheng had reservations.
If he had publicized the slogan "Eat golden cicadas and live for a hundred years" seen on the roadside in later generations, the people in the tribe would definitely be more active in catching climbing forks.
Of course, Han Cheng was just thinking about this in his mind, and he would not say it out loud.
It's not that he doesn't want to, it's that he doesn't dare.
People at this time were different from people in later generations.
People in this era basically still believe that "three is three". Unlike people in later generations, they do not understand that "three creates all things". To a certain extent, three can represent infinity.
When future generations see slogans like 'Eat golden cicadas, live for a hundred years', they will only smile knowingly and understand that this only means that eating cicadas has certain benefits for the body. It is also a promotion for businesses and encourages farmers to catch and breed them.
A means of climbing a fork.
But in today's era, that's not the case.
After he said these words, these people would definitely think that they could really live for a hundred years after eating the fork.
When the time comes, someone will definitely count it on their fingers and do it so carefully that it would take even a day!
Just thinking about this situation made Han Chenggong feel a toothache.
Under such circumstances, he would never mention the idea of 'eating golden cicadas and living for a hundred years.'
Because this is the kind of person who is making himself uncomfortable, making himself so depressed that he wants to bang his head against the wall...
I touched the fork, wrapped it in eggs, and then fried it in a pan. It was really crunchy and tasted like chicken.
Not to mention the little primitive people, even the big primitive people can still be made to cry.
At this time, Han Cheng held a fried golden fork and ate it slowly and leisurely.
At this time, although he was eating the fork that could make people cry with greed and claimed that he could live for hundreds of years, his mood was not as wonderful as he had imagined.
It’s not because Climbing Fork isn’t delicious, but because the Nest Tribe hasn’t come yet!
At this time, it was already a long time past the time when the Nest Tribe was supposed to come, but even now, no one from the Nest Tribe has arrived.
Waiting for someone is really an existence that can torture people to the point of driving them crazy, especially the kind of waiting that is highly valued by you.
Han Cheng, who was chewing a fork in his mouth, raised his head and once again looked in the direction where the older primitive women and others were coming.
After looking past the green rice, what I harvested is still full of disappointment.
However, this disappointment did not last long, because not long after, under Han Cheng's gaze, some people appeared over there.
Although you can't see the appearance of these people clearly, you only need to see the burdens these people carry from a distance to know the identities of the people coming.
These people are the second-level traders trained by Han Cheng himself.
When the older primitive women came, it was very likely that they would continue to trade with their own tribe, exchange food and other things obtained from other tribes for pottery, salt and other things from their own tribe, and perform their duties as second-level traders.
However, there is also a certain chance that people from the Nest Tribe are coming, and the older female primitives are coming to inform them.
After all, until now, Han Chengdu has not let the people of the Youchao tribe know the specific location of Jinguan City.
The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. This saying is not just empty talk, but it actually exists.
At this time, Han Chengcheng was experiencing such a thing.
The older female primitives finally came again, but they did not bring the news about the nest tribe that he wanted.
I just came here to trade.
Han Cheng was not the only one who was disappointed, the older primitive women were also very disappointed.
Because when she came this time, she didn't see the dark, very powerful man named Mao.
You know, for this meeting, in the previous exchange, I walked very fast, and I also walked very fast on the way here, just to be able to see that Hei Hei earlier.
Yes, very powerful trade.
However, the result is that he took people to other places and has not returned yet...
This exchange started and ended while the two of them seemed unhappy.
A person will experience many things in his life, some of which are extremely disappointing, and some of which are extremely surprising. The story of another village is not an empty talk, but actually exists.
Just like now.
After the new round of exchange is completed, the older primitive women will leave here. Without Mao, the older primitive women only feel that staying here in Jinguan City does not have much fun.
It seems that it has lost a lot of color all of a sudden.
Well, this is the legendary taste of eating marrow.
The older female primitives set off from Jinguan City, carrying the salt, pottery and other things they had recently bought from the Qingque tribe, preparing to return to their own tribe.
Most people are extremely happy.
Of course, this does not include the older primitive women themselves.
The turning point came at this time.
After the group of them walked out of Jinguan City and walked not far in the direction of their tribe, a figure appeared in the southeast direction of Jinguan City.
Looking at the fluttering, slightly faded blue bird flag, the dogs jumping around and barking, the donkeys and deer carrying baskets made of tree strips, Jinguan City is here
It suddenly became boiling.
Because the scene at this time only shows one thing, that is, they who led the team again and went out again to trade with other tribes are back!
People from your own tribe always feel particularly happy when they come back from abroad.
Even if you don't bring anything back, just people coming back, the people waiting in the tribe will be happy as well.
This is the same as in later generations, even if they didn’t bring anything with them and their life outside was not satisfactory, as long as they could go home to celebrate the New Year, the elderly at home would be very happy.
Han Cheng was naturally the first to see such a movement, because at this time, he was sending the older primitive women out of the tribe and was standing outside Jinguan City.
Looking at the people appearing in the southeast, Han Cheng's face was full of smiles.
On the one hand, it is because Mao and the others have returned, and on the other hand, because with the return of Mao and others, Jinguan City is likely to get a lot of food, which can effectively alleviate the food pressure in Jinguan City.
"Son of God! Son of God! We are back!"
He has already reached a certain age, and is very calm in the eyes of ordinary people. He does things in an extremely orderly manner, just like a child at this time.
Leading the team and walking at the front, he saw Jinguan City standing here from a distance, as well as Han Cheng and others standing in front of Jinguan City, and immediately shouted excitedly.
"Son of God! Son of God! We are back!"
The rest of the people who followed also started shouting as Mao started, and the voices came together and came from afar, with a burst of excitement and cheerful energy.
Han Cheng, who was already happy, suddenly had a smile on his face when they shouted like this.
He greeted Mao and others in the direction they were coming back from.
Of course, it was not only Han Cheng and others who were happy to see Mao and others returning. The older primitive women who were carrying the burden to leave Jinguan City and return to their tribe were also particularly surprised.
Originally, she was ready to return disappointed from Jinguan City again, but she didn't expect that at this time, Mao would actually come back!
Seeing the older female primitive woman, Mao, who was getting darker, grinning widely in this direction, laughing and shouting loudly, she suddenly couldn't close her legs with joy.
"@¥4@3?"
A person from her own tribe standing next to her asked the older primitive woman.
Seeing the older primitive woman standing here, carrying a burden and looking towards the returning Mao and others, but not talking about leaving, she couldn't help but speak, reminding the older primitive woman.
, they should leave from here.
After hearing her words, the older primitive woman with a silly grin came back to her senses.
However, she did not listen to the reminder of this person in the tribe and lead the people away from here. Instead, she placed the burden on her shoulders on the ground.
“@#3@#!”
She said aloud, meaning she wouldn't leave now.
After she said these words, the person who had asked just now became a little confused. He couldn't help scratching his head with his hands, full of doubts.
Because she clearly remembered that not long ago, the older primitive women themselves said that they should leave the Qingque tribe earlier so that they could have more time to exchange with other tribes.
A lot of food can be exchanged there, so that the people in the tribe can live a better life.
How come such a long time has passed and why is it completely different and has changed its mind?
Did you promise to work hard to earn food for the tribe so that everyone in the tribe can live a good life?
“@#¥@#4e……”
Maybe she was a little embarrassed to be seen by some people in her tribe. After a while, the older female primitive woman held back some words to explain.
What she meant was that since they were back, she and others might be able to ask them some questions about the exchange.
Moreover, everyone has done a lot of things these days. If you are tired, you can take a proper rest.
The people of the Qingque tribe are so kind and enthusiastic. It would be great to take a rest here...
After being deceived by her, everyone who was still confused suddenly suddenly realized that what the older primitive woman said was indeed correct.
However, after experiencing such a sudden realization, many of these people felt a little strange, as if something was not quite right, but they couldn't remember what was wrong for a while...
