In the past, because the food was relatively abundant, in winter, people in the tribe would basically not go out except to solve physical problems and get some snow.
Therefore, even if there is frostbite, it is not very serious. Unlike now, almost 70% of people have frostbite to their hands and feet.
Just when everyone was worried about this, Wu told everyone about the gloves, and he didn't take out the pair that Han Cheng had made for him, and let some people in the cave feel it in person.
After experiencing the benefits of this glove personally, everyone’s eyes are shining, looking at the witch and Han Cheng as the son of God with eager eyes, obviously they all want a pair of such good things to keep warm from the cold.
Wu had already discussed this matter with Han Cheng beforehand. Naturally, it was impossible for Han Cheng to personally make a pair of gloves for everyone in the tribe, as well as the upcoming socks.
If he really did this, he would not do anything else, just be a glove producer with peace of mind.
The way to deal with it is to select a few people from the tribe who are weaker and unsuitable for fishing activities, and follow Han Cheng to learn how to make gloves.
After this matter was finalized, everyone in the tribe was all smiling.
Yeah, why are they unhappy?
They now have enough food to feed their stomachs, so they won’t have to worry about hunger anymore.
And this food is more delicious and hungry fish than wild fruits.
They also have a pair of warm gloves and socks that the child said to protect their hands and feet and keep them away from the cold.
Such a happy day is what they have been looking forward to.
The next day, Han Chengcheng began to teach the six female primitives who remained in the cave to make animal leather gloves.
In his opinion, this is extremely simple or can be called a crude glove. It is not simple for those who are exposed to these for the first time.
On the way to learn to make, either the edge of the animal skin was smashed, or the gap between the holes was too large, and even more so, small holes were directly smashed all around the animal skin...
After the holes were smashed, they were stitched together with rope grass, which was not smooth.
Fortunately, Han Cheng is not an impatient, and he patiently demonstrates time after time. In this way, in the afternoon, including a wife of the master with the worst hands-on ability, finally learned the skill of making gloves.
As for what is good or not, it is something that is pursued after the technology matures.
After teaching these people to make gloves, Han Cheng began to make leather socks according to his wishes.
Now the shoes in the tribe are extremely simple. They are rectangular bases made of animal bones of appropriate thickness and size, and then some holes are drilled in them. Small animal hides or tough straw ropes are used to pass through the holes and then tied to the feet. .
This is very similar to the sandals of later generations, but it is too cool to wear in winter.
Of course, they also wrap their feet with animal skins and then put on shoes, but these are too inconvenient, uncomfortable, and easy to drive. Sometimes they don’t take a few steps and they need to be taken care of again. Extremely troublesome.
is precisely because of this, some people who are too troublesome to withstand freezing, more often choose barefoot.
There are no tools to use now. Han Cheng can only make a larger rectangular leather like a glove, and then pierce it with a rope.
But compared with gloves, there are some differences, that is, the place where the rope is worn is not on the edge, but on the top of the foot.
In this way, it can play a role of waterproof and moisture-proof to a certain extent, and because the sewing place is on the top, the rope used as a thread is not easy to wear and can extend the life of use.
This thing, if it is put in later generations, even if it is free, no one will necessarily ask for it, but it is a very popular and rare item here.
Even the most impatient of Sha's younger brother wearing shoes, after putting on these socks and shoes, walking back and forth for a long time, the socks are not like the old leggings when they are all right, and he can't help but show a very happy smile.
After all, if there are suitable footwear, few people would be willing to be cold barefoot.
The people in the tribe are not as leisurely as they used to be. In the past, everyone would go to sleep after a short break after dinner, but now they go to sleep after sitting around the fire with gloves or socks for a while.
Because of the production of socks and gloves, there are fewer people going to fish, but because it is winter, fish are rushing to breathe in the ice caves, which is much easier to catch than usual.
Even with a few less manpower, the fish they catch every day are enough to eat that day, not only that, but there is a lot of surplus.
After enough fish were stored in the cave, the big brothers had less time to go fishing every day, and sometimes they didn't even go out to catch them.
Because of the abundant food, Han Cheng mentioned that no one would eat greasy fish offal anymore, even the lame who cherishes food the most.
Now when grilling fish, they follow the method handed by Han Cheng. After removing the viscera and gills, the fish is grilled on the fire~EbookFREE.me~. At the beginning, there were also Some people find it wasteful, but after remembering that they already have enough fish and that the fish that is grilled in this way is indeed better than before, they all obeyed it and it has become a practice.
Han Cheng looked at the grilled fish in front of him. It was hard to swallow. He had two grilled fish a day for nearly a month. When he faced the grilled fish again, he was a little hard to swallow.
Of course, another important reason is that there is no salt!
Salt is the king of flavors, and there is nothing wrong with that.
And salt is not only a condiment, but also an element extremely needed in the human body.
Han Cheng asked, the cleverest witch in the tribe and the knowledgeable big brothers don’t know what salt is.
They really don’t know. If they knew, they wouldn’t stop eating.
Now that the people in the tribe have become less energetic, people seem to be lazy, and they spend far more time sleeping than activities.
People in the tribe, including witches, think this is normal, because every year at this time, everyone will be in this state.
Wu said to Han Cheng that it will be fine when the weather is warm.
Han Cheng knows that this is not a normal state, but because there is less salt!
In the old days, people in the tribe mainly ate animal meat, which contained salt.
And now, since the snow fell in winter, the people in the tribe have not eaten animal meat for a long time, and the salt in the body is severely lacking. It is a strange thing if you have energy!
I have to find a way to get some salt to eat!
Han Cheng who was lazy and unable to lift his energy, had a bite of the fish in his hand without a bite, and expressed such a melancholy emotion.
