Chapter 59 Return to the Forest Tribe
Lin Shu looked at the generally thin people in the stone tribe, and sighed and put away the pottery.
Indeed, even the most basic food cannot be guaranteed, so what else do you need?
"It's okay to trade with food. But that's a while." Ye Sen glanced at Lin Shu and said, "And it takes time for you to mine black stones."
Considering that there are many coal mines here, basically, as long as you work hard to dig, you can quickly dig a basket, and Yesen did not give a very high price.
"Whenever you dig five baskets of black stones, we will give you a basket of food. How about it?"
"No matter whether it is meat or fruit, how can you provide us with food? According to you, the journey between the Sen tribe and the Shi tribe is long, and when it is delivered, the food is broken." Although Daze was very satisfied with this transaction, he still had some doubts.
"Our tribe will make jerky that can be preserved for a long time, as well as some other food that can be preserved for a long time." Ye Sen once again took out the jerky that he carried with him to prove that he was right.
Ozawa took the jerky and stared at the jerky for a while.
After confirming that, Ozawa returned the jerky to Yesen and said, "Yes! We accept this deal!"
Although Osawa is very cautious about this transaction on the surface and does not show too much emotion, he is still very happy inside.
According to this trading rule, they just need to split a few people to keep digging black stones, and they can easily get all the food they have fallen by digging black stones.
Besides, they have other people who can use it for collection and hunting!
Yesen said again: "These black stones need baskets to be filled. We will teach you how to weave baskets. In another month and a half, we will bring food to exchange for black stones. You can prepare thirty baskets of black stones like this first."
"Okay, no problem."
It's getting late and it's hard to hurry to go.Moreover, Lin Shu was reluctant to leave the grass along the way, so the two of them spent the night in the stone tribe.
Lin Shu took the opportunity to teach the people of the Shi Tribe how to weave baskets, and Yesen's accurate archery skills were also praised by the people of the Shi Tribe.
After a big deal was negotiated, Daze, the leader of the stone tribe, had a rare smile. During the chat, he couldn't help but ask Ye Sen: "What's the use of this black stone? Is your forest tribe willing to exchange it for precious food?"
Lin Shu was sitting next to Yesen, and after hearing this, she looked at Yesen.
Yesen thought for a moment and decided to tell them part of the truth: "This kind of stone can be used to burn."
This is what Lin Shu told him after she first discovered coal from Xiaocao.
Yesen picked up a piece of coal and threw it into the bonfire in front of him. Not long after, the whole piece of coal turned into a fiery red color. Yesen used a wooden stick to pull out the coal from the fire. The coal still maintained a dazzling red like magma and continued to burn.
"Look, it can burn like wood." Ye Sen signaled Daze to look at the coal.
"So that's the case..." Although Daze was curious about not using wood directly, he thought that the wood would have to work hard to cut, and the wood that was not completely dried would burn a lot of blue smoke. It seems that black stone is indeed better than wood.
Ye Sen only said this, but did not disclose the remaining metal ore at all.
According to what Lin Shu and him, metal can make weapons that are sharper and harder than stone knives and bone knives. Once such things are known by the stone tribes with a large amount of mineral deposits, their situation will be very passive.
The two stayed in the stone tribe for one night, decided on the deal, and headed towards the way home.
Before returning home, Lin Shu took a detour to the wetland. When they passed by the wetland a few days ago, the rice ears were still a little green, but now a few days have passed and have begun to turn yellow.
After a while, it should be able to harvest.
The two of them returned home with a heart of rushing back home for three days and finally returned to the Sen Tribe.
I have been away from the tribe for nearly half a month, so I miss it.
Lin Shu stood in front of the long-lost fence door and found that the thorn vines on the fence were growing denser, almost covering the entire fence.
Now it is really going to be upgraded to a thorny wall.
Lin Shu nodded with satisfaction and walked into the tribe with Yesen.
When the rest of the Sen tribe saw that the two of them finally came back, Lianlian greeted them.
"leader!"
"Mr. Lin Shu!"
Such a harmonious atmosphere is indeed more comfortable in my own tribal atmosphere.
The two passed by a large storage room and a public activity room that had not been completed before leaving.
Now these two large public buildings have been completed, perfectly built as planned by Lin Shu before. They are tall, spacious and square.
Dashan and the others only came back three or four days earlier than the two of them.The new houses of the twenty-one new members they bought were still under construction, so they could only lay the floor in the public activity room first.
Fortunately, the public activity room is big enough, and it won’t be crowded if you sleep in a big bed with twenty-one people.
Lin Shu even heard the newcomer secretly sighing:
"This tribe has both sufficient food and a large house that we have never seen before. The conditions are even better than we originally thought!"
The Sen tribe originally moved with Yesen, and the total number of people reached about 100.
Originally, Lin Shu always felt that the labor force was not very enough. Apart from the fixed members of the hunting team and the gathering team, there were not many people in the Sen tribe who could do things.
Now that there are enough personnel, Lin Shu immediately asked Yesen to take more people to cultivate the fields.
Sweet potatoes should still be expanded, and then harvest rice when trading coal in another month and a half. Take the time to plant the last crop of this year. You should be able to harvest with sweet potatoes before winter begins.
At that time, we will have to select a few more people to be responsible for the planting.
Yesen has no objection.
The rain season is coming soon. Once it enters the rain season, it will rain for two or three weeks. It will be inconvenient to do anything at that time, so you have to hurry up.
The following days, the people of the Sen tribe were particularly busy, and the newly joined people were busy building houses, and the hunting team and the gathering team needed to get more food.
Lao Lei is responsible for producing a series of tools, such as hoes, bows, arrows, spears... and all of them are matched with.
It became hotter in the afternoon, and everyone hid in the house and did not go out. When the sun was about to set and the temperature began to drop, all the staff would mobilize to reclaim fields and build fences to plant sweet potatoes.
This time the fields are much larger than the original ones, and the area is several times larger.
The sweet potato vines are also ready-made, just plant them directly. It takes less than two days to plant the new sweet potato field.
A few days later, the brick and tile houses of the newly joined people were also built, and some of them couldn't even believe that such a good big house was for them to live in.
Often, slaves sold to other tribes live in the worst houses that have been eliminated, eat the least food, do the dirtiest, tiring and dangerous work, and are difficult to accept by the tribe.
They originally thought they were lucky enough to live in a large shop, but they didn’t expect there would be such a surprise!
"I thought those houses were built for others to live in! Did they actually live in us?"
...
The new people finally lived in thankfully.
A few days later, the clouds that had been in a long period of time finally couldn't bear it. With a "slam" sound, the entire continent became mist.
The rainy season has arrived.
