Reborn stone tools to farm

"Stay here, don't come out."

Sitting cross-legged in the stream with a tall man and a big mountain, he bent his back and soaked himself in the water, looking at Tang Zheng with a little bit of grievance in his eyes.

Tang Zheng knocked on the root of a big tree not far away with a large stone slab, but she didn't have the ability to clean up all the fallen people. Now that the mountain is her apprentice, can she still have the final say?

Knock off a piece of palm-sized bark from the root of the tree, bringing up flocculent plant fibers. Tang Zheng doesn't know what this tree is called, but in his memory, the inner bark of this tree is loose and slightly soft. Scrubbing should still be fine.

After digging out the flocculent inner layer and rubbing it in the water, there is still a little white foam, but it is very small, most of which are sawdust.

"Put it here, rub it by yourself later."

"Oh..."

Let the mountain continue to soak, Tang Zheng found a wooden stick and dug up the wet mud on the side. After digging a basket, there was the sound of rushing water, and when he looked back, Shan rubbed the bark on his body indiscriminately. The water splashes very openly.

"Stop, stop, stop!"

Shan stopped obediently, his body was covered with wood shavings, Tang Zheng couldn't help laughing out loud, walked over to the arm that pulled Shan, rubbed it hard with his fingers, and rubbed off a little mud.

"Rub it with bark after washing, have you learned?"

"Ah."

Shan himself had great strength, and when Tang Zheng finished digging another basket of wet mud, Shan had already rubbed himself red all over, and his skin, which was darker in color than wheat, looked very healthy.

Speaking of it, it probably has something to do with the wind and the sun. Everyone's skin color is a bit darker, and the women's skin color is fairer. You can see the original skin color from the two children. They are pure yellow people, and Tang Zheng's is not bad. Healthy wheat color is a little whiter.

Rang Shan washed his hair with tree bark and sank it in the water to remove the sawdust. His hair was unexpectedly soft, like swaying algae.There is no condition for a haircut, men and women's hair is about the same length, like a bear who finds it troublesome and cuts off his own hair with stone flakes.

Tang Zheng took the bark and rubbed the back where the mountain couldn't reach until it was red, and made him follow back to the open space with two baskets of wet mud on his back.

The cool wind blew over the leaves and blew onto his wet body, Tang Zheng couldn't help shivering, looked up at the sky, the sun was not as bright as before, it seemed that there was going to be a rain.

Thinking of this possibility, Tang Zheng frowned. The kiln could not be drenched with water, so he casually piled up the baskets by the kiln, dragged the mountain to carry the stone ax, and ran into the woods.

"Hey! Master, there's still a lot of firewood." Yamamoto limped, and almost lost his footing when he was pulled suddenly.

"It's going to rain, and the kiln will break down."

Tang Zheng was in a hurry when he said that, he and the master had been working hard all day for this small kiln!Three steps and two steps followed closely.

There are many thick adult trees in the forest, and there are also many slender and straight trees. I selected a few trees with a thick bowl mouth and let the mountain cut them down. The unusable part with many branches on the top was removed and the height was about four to five meters. Straight and in excellent condition.

It wasn't too far to run, but Tang Zheng was still a ten-year-old baby, and she couldn't resist the big wooden pole with great strength. It was useless to worry. Tang Zheng simply remembered the sequence of steps for building a shed. How can I go faster? I hope I can catch up Finish before this rain comes down.

Tang Zheng held the stone ax for Shan, while Shan carried a tree trunk on one shoulder and dragged it back to the clearing.

Let Shan continue to cut trees, Tang Zheng took a long thin vine and began to measure the distance.Visually measured a height of less than three meters.Marking the trunk with a piece of stone, comparing the length with a thin vine, and engraving the same mark on the other root, Tang Zheng began to dig a hole near the kiln.

It is very convenient to dig a pit with a stone hoe. After digging two pits about [-] to [-] centimeters deep and less than five meters apart, Shan came back with two logs.

Follow the previous mark on the wood and delay it by ten centimeters to cut off the mountain, then compare the distance between the two pits on the newly cut wood to make a beam, draw the mark, and reserve ten centimeters at each end for For fit purposes, Tang Zheng glanced at the sky and it was almost noon, and there was simply not enough time.

Seeing Tang Zheng worrying about the sky at a young age, the old grandmother thought it was interesting and couldn't help but came over, although Hazel had been acting weird since she was guided by her ancestors.

"What's the matter, Hazel?"

"Grandmother." Tang Zheng looked away from her and said, "I need someone to help me."

The old grandmother rubbed Tang Zheng's little head again with a smile, and with a big wave of her hand, the women who were collected soon after were assigned to her.

With the help of the clansmen, it became a lot easier, probably because of the living environment. The strength of the adult women is also good, and two people can carry a thick tree trunk.

The bamboo branch I got before I took it out could be cut into two hollow pipes. Tang Zheng asked two people to teach them how to burn holes with charcoal. With the help of bamboo pipes, it is much easier to gather airflow and control the fire better. , The position and size were measured and engraved by Tang Zheng, and it was not a difficult task.

After explaining some things, Tang Zheng took the people to the bamboo forest and the place with tall weeds. Bamboo doesn't need too much, and three random bowls that are as thick as the mouth of a bowl are enough.

The weeds are very lush, basically more than one meter high, but most of them have turned yellow due to the season, and will become very brittle and unsuitable for bundling after a while.

Grab a handful of weeds and cut them with thin and sharp stones, just like harvesting rice, stack them neatly together, and then use one end and two hands to hoop them and shake them vigorously up and down to remove the short weeds.

The eight people started this kind of unskilled work very quickly, and after a while, the fine vines were tied up, and there were four neat bundles of weeds.

The bamboo poles were split open with stone flakes. If the gaps were longer, it would be easier to break apart. After the three bamboo poles were split, there were more than 30 bamboo sticks that were damaged.

Take a small handful of weeds, not too much, divide one-third on the bamboo sticks, tie the tops of the bamboo sticks with thin vines to tie up the weeds, then fold the extra one-third and tie them up again. It takes a lot of time to repeat this action, but it takes a lot of time to make a straw shop like this, but it is also very fast with seven or eight people. After all, it takes 10 minutes to steam a steamed bun, and it takes 10 minutes to steam a steamed bun.

Taking advantage of this time, Tang Zheng used a chisel to file the top of the wooden pole for the pillar into a convex shape, which just fit the hole of the beam. This is the simplest mortise and tenon structure, right-angle tenon.

The bottom of the pillar is tipped to carbonize the outside with a bonfire to prevent corrosion and insects, and then inserted into the dug hole.

Tang Zheng let the mountain carry him just enough to reach the top, and beat the pillar with a wooden stick to make the pillar firm in the soil, and then came down and stuffed the broken soil back into the gap next to the pillar to step on it firmly.

Except for the two tallest pillars in the middle, the four pillars on both sides are slightly shorter. After the piles are piled, they are about two and a half meters to less than two meters. The frame and beam are a bit high, and Tang Zheng’s height is a bit difficult. She couldn’t help but start to worry about her height again. She used to be 170 cm tall, but now she is really not used to her small arms and legs.

After laying the frame, the grass bed was almost done, the weather was getting late, the wind started to pick up, and the men who just went out to hunt came back to help.

Everyone put the grass on the roof and tied it firmly. When Tang Zheng squatted on the beam of the roof and tied the last knot, it started to rain lightly, and the rain fell faster and faster, but she really wanted to laugh out loud.

Finally caught up.

This is a little sense of accomplishment for human beings over nature.

Tang Zheng turned over and went down from the roof, and the mountain below caught it skillfully. The people in the clan felt that it was very novel to be crowded in this small shed. It turned out that there was no cave and they could not be exposed to the sun and rain.

After thinking about it, Tang Zheng asked someone to dig a ditch around the outside to prevent rainwater from seeping in. Humidity is always bad for the kiln.

"Master, you are amazing." Shan was a little excited, and his bright eyes seemed to be the same as Zhi.

"What are you silly, let's go eat soon." Tang Zheng said with a smile after washing his hands in the water that fell from the roof.

After the curiosity was over, everyone went back to the cave. It was raining outside, but fortunately Tang Zheng still had a fire ditch.

The mussels had been eaten yesterday, and today’s hunting still had no harvest, so this dinner was completely vegetarian, and most of them were fruits that were not easy to store.

After a tiring day, Tang Zheng was not in the mood to get something to eat, so he ate a sour pear and a few taro for dinner, and lay down to get ready for bed.

After the mountain was cleaned up, he was a very tough and handsome young man, but he seemed a bit old-fashioned. It was a bit awkward to be with a group of men who rolled back from the mud, and everyone made fun of him. Glance at him secretly.Although today's harvest is not very good, the tribe is still so happy, and the hardships of life will never knock them down, just like the grass that cannot be burned by wildfire.

The next day Tang Zheng was woken up by her grandmother. Who made everyone else leave when she usually woke up?There was probably a group activity today, and Tang Zheng stood with the clansmen in a daze, and a small and rough thing was stuffed into his mouth when he was still not clear-headed.

salty.

The fishy and salty smell accompanied by a strong sandy smell stimulated Tang Zheng's sense of taste, and the previous drowsiness disappeared, and he rolled his tongue blankly at the thing in his mouth, or a very rough block of salt, which had an extremely strong taste. Poor, accompanied by severe sand grains, even a bit bitter, but Tang Zheng didn't dislike it at all, and even became excited.

Only when you are clear-headed can you remember well. Every once in a while, the old grandmother will distribute a piece of salt to each tribe member in the morning. Salt is really expensive, and this happens only about half a month.

Hazel's memory is like a heavy book, only when she deliberately opened it can she recall the past, and now she realizes that there is still salt in it.
