I am a Primitive Man

The deliciousness of salt is still fresh in the memory of everyone in the tribe.

After eating salted food, I ate grilled meat and grilled fish without salt. I just feel that the food that tasted so good before is now a little hard to swallow.

It just so happened that yesterday's hunting luck was better, and more prey was brought back, so today the senior brother and the others followed Han Cheng to Yanshan with their tools.

Yanshan is the name Han Cheng gave to the salt mine.

Without a name, it is really inconvenient.

To go to Yanshan, you need to pass by the place where he found rapeseed. The rapeseed flowers are still blooming brightly, although there are only empty poles left without flowers.

Han Cheng pointed to these yellow flowers and told the people in the tribe that this was another good thing he found and told them not to step on it.

Because they thought about the delicious salt, they didn't pay enough attention to the weed that the Son of God mentioned.

After all, they see a lot of weeds every day, and they don't think such flowering weeds are so rare.

Han Cheng followed the mark he remembered yesterday and walked eastward all the way.

Fortunately, he led the people in the tribe to find the location of Yanshan. Unlike the unlucky fisherman in Peach Blossom Spring, he was always thinking about it, and he still couldn't find his way again.

Thinking of this, Han Cheng couldn't help laughing. After all, he was in a different situation from the fisherman. There were only a group of deer in Yanshan, while a group of people lived in Taohuayuan.

Humans are wary and will stalk and change markers, while deer are not.

Uncle Deer is still here with his group, basking in the sun and gnawing on the grass leisurely, and then licking his tongue on the stone wall when he is all right.

Eldest brother and other people in the tribe, seeing such a large herd of deer here, their eyes immediately brightened. They have become accustomed to hunting, and even without the elder brother's order, they took up weapons and prepared to attack this herd of deer. attack.

Han Cheng quickly stopped.

For these deer, he has his own ideas.

Han Cheng talked to the senior brother, and then gave an order that everyone should not disturb the deer.

Then he took this group of reluctant people and walked south for a distance, about 100 meters away from the deer herd, looking at each other without disturbing each other.

Uncle Deer and his little brother were quite wary of this group of uninvited guests at the beginning, but after they found out that the leader was the useless 'two-legged beast' who was bullied by him yesterday, and the rest also used two legs Walking guys, and after these guys didn't lean towards themselves, they gradually relaxed their vigilance.

As their boss, after calming down his emotions, Uncle Lu even walked gracefully, with the posture of a king, walking leisurely to this group of two feet who kept pounding on the stone wall they used to practice their tongues. Beast' in front of.

Han Cheng hurriedly stopped seeing Lie Xinxi, who couldn't help but want to make another move, and the elder brother and others took some rapeseed that had been eaten and could not bear seeds on the way, and handed it to a group of people. Uncle Lu with the demeanor of a vice king.

These things were conceived by him last night and specially prepared today.

Ben thought that if the herd of deer were still there, he would try to send them there. Unexpectedly, before he took action, the uncle deer who had seen the world had already come to collect protection fees.

Facing the rapeseed that Han Cheng handed over, Uncle Lu was not polite, he just opened his mouth and ate it.

After eating, he seemed to be quite satisfied with Han Cheng's winking behavior. Uncle Lu slapped his hand, which was regarded as his approval of the actions of these 'two-legged beasts' on his territory.

Then it returned to its group with graceful steps, raised its head high, and looked like a proud general returning from victory.

With the addition of big brothers and the like who are strong and often fight wild beasts, things like smashing stones can be done much faster.

The rock salt that was smashed down,

The big ones are carried away directly, while the small ones are transported away in the animal skins used to wrap the fruits in autumn.

Because it is about ten miles away from the place where the tribe is located, I am worried that there will be dangers in the back and forth landing, so when transporting rock salt to the tribe, I did not go alone, but smashed enough to transport half of the people. After the rock, they set off together, just like they did when they picked fruit to transport to the tribe in autumn.

These are the precious accumulated in the long-term life.

The efficiency of carrying it on the shoulder is very slow, but there is no way. There is no good tool at this time, so this stupid method can only be used.

But after such a day, there was a pile of large and small rock salt piled up beside the small river in front of the cave, not too far from the place where the pottery was made, at least more than a thousand catties.

This is not an exaggeration. After all, rock salt is not too strong, and it is relatively easy to smash it down from the mountain.

Moreover, besides all members of the hunting team, there are seven or eight and a half older children participating in the labor today.

So many people bring back more than a thousand catties of rock salt a day, not much at all.

Today there is no salt production, all are used to transport rock salt.

After all, there are not many times when they can get together with the big brother and they don't have to go hunting.

For salt making, Han Cheng and some children in the tribe, as well as lame lame and a few weak or pregnant women or women with children can complete it.

The task of smashing rock salt from the mountains seven or eight miles away and transporting it over is difficult for them, the old and the weak, women and children.

The next day, the elder brother led people out to hunt, and Han Cheng took the old pottery maker to start making salt.

The big brothers actually want to stay, they have a strong interest in how to get delicious salt out of stones.

But if they don't hunt, the tribe will have no food tomorrow, so they have to go hunting.

Beside the small river, the salt-boiling industry is in full swing, and Han Cheng divides the work according to the characteristics of everyone.

Hei Wa and Lie, who are stronger, are responsible for breaking the big rocks into small stones, and then smashing the small stones into powder.

A few female primitives are not as strong as Lame Heiwa and others, so they are responsible for filtering the salt mine with pots, hay and charcoal.

Xiaomei, Xiaoli, and Xing, who are smaller in strength, are in charge of burning the fire and boiling the salt.

Han Cheng was on the sidelines as a technical guide, and was responsible for getting the final boiled salt out of the clay pot, chopping it up and putting it into jars.

It is very necessary to move the salt production site to the small river. After all, salt production requires a lot of water, and the required site is also large. If it is all carried out in the cave, the already damp cave will be made even worse. I can't live as an adult anymore.

As long as it is labor, there is no one who is not tired. After a day, everyone is tired.

But when they saw the half jar of delicious salt, everyone smiled from the bottom of their hearts. With these delicious salt, no matter how tired they are, it is worth it!
