Chapter 268: Ready to set sail

In the beautiful expectation of the leader of the Green Tribe, the first batch of millet planted by the Qingque tribe has sprouted, and the second batch of millet has also been planted today.
The small millet seedlings, tender and green, are very similar to the common dog's tail grass and other types of grasses in later generations.
But when they grow up, you can tell the difference between them.
Millet can produce satisfying food, and there are only a few weeds that are not considered to be much worse than millet.
In the same half of a year, the difference in what I have gained is quite big.
The people from the donkey tribe are here again. This is already the third time since the beginning of the spring. They have come twice more than the other tribes.
And unlike the other tribes, they basically only need salt, and rarely bring food and fur in exchange for pottery.
Every time people from the donkey tribe come, they bring a lot of fur and a lot of food.
These furs and food will be replaced by pottery and brought back.
Han Cheng calculated it. So far, the donkey tribe’s people have exchanged the most pottery from the Qingque tribe among the surrounding tribes.
There are more bone tribes than the Qingque tribe, and the richest sheep tribe.
Could it be that I missed it at first? The donkey tribe is not only the poorest, but also the richest among the surrounding tribes?
Is a big dog family who hides deeply?
Seeing the figures of the donkey tribe who left behind a pile of things and brought many pottery in exchange for walking eastward, Han Cheng was puzzled.
Today, the people of Qingque tribe did not go to the fields to be busy, but went to Salt Mountain with some tools and weapons.
Provide salt for several tribes free of charge, so that the salt saved by their tribes will be consumed quickly.
Especially the people from the donkey tribe, every time they come back and forth, they will bring a lot of salt, this time they brought three jars directly, so Han Cheng strongly suspects that these guys are eating salt for food.
"Boom boom boom..."
"Wow..."
The people of the Qingque tribe have already cooked salt very well. After they came to the salt mountain, some people smashed the salt ore, some were responsible for filtering, and some were cooking with fire.
The people of the Qingque tribe nowadays no longer carry the salt ore back and boil it as before. That is too much trouble.
Instead, he brought the tools directly to the Salt Mountain and cooked here.
It is much easier to bring back finished salt than to bring salt ore back.
The place where the salt is actually boiled is not actually in the Salt Mountain, but beside the spring not far from the Salt Mountain.
It was the place where Han Cheng, Tie Tou and others poured water and salt into the clay pot in order to abduct the uncle deer.
This spring is not very vigorous, and it is not enough to boil salt.
But such a thing is obviously not difficult for Han Cheng.
When he took the elder brothers and the others, dug the spring down half a meter deep, and not far away, dug a five-square-meter water reservoir with a depth of more than a meter and a half. .
Near this spring, a clearing was opened up, and three fires were burning above the clearing. On top of each fire, there was a large jar for boiling salt.
As the water evaporates, the salt that melts in the water will condense on the bottom of the tank...
Water is the source of all things. In the mountains and forests, where there is water, there are generally more birds, birds and beasts, and there are many footprints on the wet ground at the edge of the reservoir and spring.
However, the birds and beasts who came to drink water today are destined to return in disappointment, because this piece of water is occupied by a group of domineering monkeys.
This group of monkeys can not only walk on two legs, but can also make all kinds of strange things, especially the red, beating things, the most scaring animals...
The efficiency of boiling salt directly in the salt mountain is very high. In five days, the Qingque tribe not only made up for the deficit, but also had eight more jars of salt than before.
These salts are enough to use for a long time.
When Han Cheng and the others leave, those who stay in the tribe can no longer worry about salt matters.
The weather was warm day by day. When the last batch of millet was planted, the rapeseed had grown up, almost half a meter high.
Some impatients have already bloomed a little bit of golden.
Many things in the world will happen when they should happen. Blindly avoiding it is not a very clever way. Apart from disturbing one's heart, the gains in other aspects are generally not too great.
Han Cheng, who had no other reason, was finally about to start his first real journey after he came into this world.
"Bangbang Bang..."
This is not the sound of clappers when someone comes to the tribe, but limping using stone knives, stone chisels, and wooden sticks to make the last spare oar.
The building of the oar is necessary, otherwise how to move forward? Can't rely on the waves?
Although Han Cheng was a bit sullen sometimes, his level of skill was far from enough to make the boat wave up, so he had to build the oars honestly.
A total of four canoes of the Qingque tribe have been launched, and they are now parked in ample temporary docks beside the creek in front of the tribe.
The cable was tied to the big wooden prongs nailed to the shore, and several canoes squeezed together, floating up and down in a small area with the waves, which was very rhythmic.
Senior Brother, Shang, and Junior Brother Sha held the oars tied with a leather rope under their arms, pulling the cable, and pulling the canoe to the shore. While the boat was swinging back and forth, they came to the boat.
After ten days of continuous practice and familiarity, now facing this level of shaking and floating, the senior brothers and others can already face it calmly, and will no longer tremble with the previously unconscious legs.
There is no worry that the boat was pressed to the bottom after he came up~EbookFREE.me~ On both sides of the bow of the canoe, a tree about twenty centimeters above the body of the canoe is erected. Sticks, on the upper side of the four sticks in each canoe, each has this branch.
After the big brother got on the canoe, he skillfully hung the oar in his arms on the wooden branches.
Then he began to receive some bottles and cans handed over from the shore.
These are all things they prepared in advance for this long journey.
Among them, food is the most prepared. In addition to the jars placed at the beginning, there are also a lot of salted fish and bacon that are cured and dried.
Among them, there are ceramic pots for cooking rice, boiling water, and bowls for filling rice.
Bows and arrows, vine shields, slings, spears, and spears will naturally not fall.
These things were carried separately, and there were some on the four canoes. This was to avoid accidents in any boat, and they would not lose all their supplies, get into trouble, or even be caught. Mission destroyed.
