MTL - This Is My Primitive Tribe-Chapter 195 Herringbone Ladder and Pig Raising

While the engineering team was building the sewage treatment plant, the annual autumn harvest of the Teng tribe also began.

The climate this year is not bad. The planting team has accumulated a lot of experience in the past few years. Coupled with the addition of the Quyuan plow, the grain area and output of the Teng tribe have been greatly improved.

In order to store more food, the Veng tribe built two large warehouses in summer.

But no one expected that the Vine Tribe would break through the Bird Tribe and obtain a lot of supplies.

In addition, the trading area also continuously obtains various materials and needs local counterparts. Therefore, after the autumn harvest, all warehouses are directly filled.

Forced to do so, they could only use a few wooden houses to stack non-perishable things such as stone animal bones.

When the construction of the sewage treatment plant is completed, let the engineering team build more warehouses, so that all the food and materials can be properly stored.

In addition to harvesting food, the autumn harvest of the Veng tribe has another precious product, that is, insect wax.

This spring, the Vine tribe moved the wax worms that used to be at the site of the blue sheep tribe to the newly planted wax forest.

Because of the careful care of the warriors of the original blue sheep tribe such as Ophiopogon japonicus, these wax worms are all white and plump, and they spit a lot of wax.

When harvesting the insect wax, Jiang Xuan deliberately rode over the dumplings to watch.

When the dumplings landed outside the wax forest, Jiang Xuan saw a lot of white insect wax condensed on all the wax trees.

These insect waxes are like ice and snow, covered with branches, and most of the branches are white, which is very spectacular.

Ophiopogon took the soldiers of the original blue sheep tribe, climbed to those trees, broke off the cylindrical insect wax on the branches one by one, and put them into animal skin bags.

After Jiang Xuan came over, Ophiopogon said excitedly: "Boss, the insect wax we harvested this year is at least twice as much as last year!"

Jiang Xuan walked under the wax tree, pulled down a branch, broke off a piece of insect wax from it, and put it on the tip of his nose to smell it.

Insect wax has a special fragrance, which can refresh the mind after smelling it.

"Yes, good bug wax, your hard work for the past six months has not been in vain."

Jiang Xuan's affirmation made Mai Dong and others show simple and honest smiles on their faces, making them more motivated.

"Let me help too."

Jiang Xuan picked up an animal skin bag and climbed up a tree.

Ophiopogon hurriedly said: "Boss, this life is too hard, we can just come."

"It's okay, I'm not afraid of hard work."

After Jiang Xuan climbed up the tree, he began to peel off the wax with Ophiopogon and others.

Those on thick branches are easier to peel, but the wax on thin branches is small and hard to reach, and some can only be obtained by breaking the branches.

This is indeed a very hard job, and if you are not careful, you may fall from the tree.

But soon, Jiang Xuan thought of a new way.

"Tangyuan, come here!"

Jiang Xuan beckoned from the tree, and Tang Yuan immediately ran over. It was huge. After entering the wax forest, he could only lower his body as much as possible and move step by step.

When the dumplings were squeezed under the tree, Jiang Xuan immediately jumped from the tree to the back of the dumplings, and said to it, "Squat down, don't move around."

Tang Yuan nodded, and then saw Jiang Xuan standing on its back and began to pick insect wax from the tree.

With the support platform of the dumplings, Jiang Xuan can easily pick up the insect wax on the tree, whether it is high or low.

Ophiopogon and others are very envious of this, but they don't have a large mount such as dumplings, so they can only continue to climb trees.

At noon, everyone came down from the wax tree, rested and ate the dry food they brought.

Jiang Xuan pondered for a moment, and said to Ophiopogon: "When I was standing on the back of the dumplings just now to break off insect wax, I remembered a tool."

Ophiopogon asked curiously, "What tool?"

"ladder."

"Herringbone ladder?" Mai Dong looked at Jiang Xuan puzzled, hoping that he could explain in detail.

The rattan tribe already had something like a ladder, but it was a very primitive ladder, the kind tied with a rope.

For example, the engineering team that often builds houses has several primitive ladders.

But the tool of the herringbone ladder has not yet appeared.

Jiang Xuan ate the dry food in his hand in a few mouthfuls, and then picked up a few sticks from the ground to demonstrate to Ophiopogon japonicus.

"Look, our current ladder is one-sided, and we can only climb up by leaning against a tree or wall."

"Like the insect wax on the top of a tree, it is difficult to pick it with a one-sided ladder."

"But what if we connect the top and middle of the two ladders together? Wouldn't it just support it?"

Watching Jiang Xuan's demonstration, Mai Dong easily understood what a herringbone ladder was.

He looked at Jiang Xuan blankly, and said, "Boss, you are so smart, why didn't I expect Ladder to do this!"

The other warriors also looked at Jiang Xuan with admiration.

In fact, the herringbone ladder is not complicated, but no one has thought of it for the time being.

Jiang Xuan smiled and said: "I also thought of it by accident. As long as you are willing to think more about things, you will definitely be able to think of many convenient tools."

Jiang Xuan has never underestimated the wisdom of the tribesmen in this world. Their IQ is not low, but they have less knowledge.

As long as they really start to get used to thinking, they will definitely be very creative.

Mai Dong scratched his head and said embarrassedly, "How can we have such a clever brain as a leader."

"No, you are very smart, remember this, if you don't even look down on yourself, how can I entrust you with more important tasks in the future?"

When Ophiopogon and the others heard the more important task, their eyes lit up, and then nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

After eating and resting, they first followed Jiang Xuan's idea and tied a few simple herringbone ladders with branches and ropes, and then stood on the herringbone ladder to pick insect wax.

In this way, the efficiency of picking insect wax is really much higher, at least they don't have to climb the tree hard, and worry that the branches are too thin and can't bear their weight.

At the end of the day, they harvested more than a dozen hide bags of bug wax.

However, these insect waxes are in a curled state and are relatively loose. After cooking, the volume will be reduced a lot.

In the evening of the same day, Jiang Xuan tied the insect wax together, put it on the back of the dumplings, and let the dumplings be carried back.

Ophiopogon and others rode blue sheep down the mountain to return to the tribe.

Tomorrow they will continue to go up the mountain to pick insect wax until all the insect wax has been picked.

...

In mid-September, the autumn harvest and the collection of insect wax had been completed, and the sewage treatment plant had also been constructed. The people of the Veng tribe fell into an unprecedented satisfaction.

Because the tribe's supplies are very sufficient, and the powerful enemies have been eliminated, they can spend the winter with peace of mind.

However, Jiang Xuan quickly thought of another question.

That's the problem with the tribe's lack of grease.

Most of the prey have no oil on their bodies, because their transportation volume is too large and they eat poorly. Only before winter comes, they can store up a little oil.

Even the beasts and birds currently raised by the Vine tribe don't have much grease, and at most they are stronger than those in the wild.

But things like grease are essential for tribal people, because tribal people also have a large amount of transportation and consume a lot of energy every day.

Therefore, tribal people eat prey and like to knock on the bone to **** the marrow, because the marrow contains a lot of oil.

The advantage of the Vine tribe compared to other tribes is that the Vine tribe is good at fishing, and they also raise a lot of fish in the pond.

Many fish have fish oil in their bodies, especially those raised in ponds.

Fish such as catfish and herbivorous fish have a lot of fish oil in their bodies.

Relying on these fish oils, the people of the Veng tribe can consume more oil than other tribes, and therefore they are more robust, unlike other tribes who are skinny.

However, the amount of fish oil is still not large enough, and it is impossible for the people of the Vine tribe to eat the oil every day.

In the past, everyone could not fill their stomachs, and it was a lucky thing to be able to eat.

Now that the Veng tribe has initially solved the problem of food and clothing, Jiang Xuan wants to further enhance the physique of the Veng tribe, so that they can get enough oil.

At first, Jiang Xuan wanted to find a plant rich in oil for large-scale cultivation, such as rapeseed.

But he soon gave up on the idea, because vegetable oil was not suitable for tribal people who exercised a lot.

After thinking about it, he finally pointed to a path: raising pigs.

Other beasts are either difficult to tame or have little oil. Only by raising and fattening pigs can they obtain a large amount of animal oil that is enough for tribal people to eat regularly.

Previously, the Veng tribe had no idea of ​​raising pigs, because there were some giant wild boars near the Veng tribe. When adults, they generally weighed more than 1,000 kilograms, and they were as big as a cow, and their destructive power was amazing.

These giant wild boars have strong destructive power and eat a lot~www.novelbuddy.com~ With the strength of the Vine tribe in the past, even if you can find a way to keep them, it is difficult to feed them.

But now, the strength of the vine tribe has been greatly improved, and with the existence of the vine wall, it is almost impossible for these giant wild boars to run.

Coupled with sufficient food, Jiang Xuan had the idea of ​​raising pigs.

In autumn, when the giant wild boar is giving birth, Jiang Xuan intends to take people to catch some giant wild boar cubs back.

He is a very decisive person. After thinking about it, he immediately found the leaders of two hunting teams and gave them the task of catching the giant wild boar cubs.

"Catch giant wild boar cubs?"

After hearing the news, Uncaria's face was obviously tangled, because he almost lost his life under the fangs of a giant wild boar, and there are still some psychological shadows.

Jiang Xuan said angrily: "Let you catch cubs, not adult giant wild boars, what's there to be afraid of? Will trapping? Will traps be arranged?"

Uncaria was scolded by Jiang Xuan and felt ashamed, so he raised his chest and said, "Don't worry, leader, our hunting team will definitely catch the giant wild boar cubs back."

Shi Loach was as calm as always: "The second hunting team is no problem."

Jiang Xuan nodded and said, "Since there is no problem, let's go as soon as possible. Be careful. If you encounter a situation where an adult giant wild boar goes mad, you can give up temporarily."

Uncaria and loach both nodded, the life of the hunting team soldiers is more important than the prey, Jiang Xuan has told them countless times.

Afterwards, the two of them went back and discussed with the warriors in their respective teams how to capture the giant wild boar cubs and prepared some things in advance.

"Ultimate Chaos"

The next day, the two hunting teams of the Vine Tribe dispatched at the same time to go to the wild boar forest in the north of the tribe to capture wild boar cubs.
