Chapter 68: The Witch’s Ambition Upgrade

 After dinner, Chen Chao lay in a daze on the fire pit, and the witch next to him was still awake, so he kept flipping around.

    He was full of Chen Chao's words today. For a while, he thought about the future Tianyuan tribe being so big, could he manage it, and how would so many people manage it?

    Will the food be enough? This small river is too small, and I am afraid that it will really not be enough.

    Remember where so many people live?

    Now this cave is filled with air-dried meat and firewood to be burned in winter, as well as Lizi Mountain and Caoshan Mountain. The people living in it are a bit crowded.

    When the time comes, the tribe will grow bigger, where will those people live? And where do they put their food?

    The little old man remembered that Chen Chao said that the current place is too small. The new residence must have a place to build houses for everyone in the tribe, and it must also have a high wall so that no beasts can attack us again. .

    Yes indeed! Isn't it too small? Oh, why didn't I think of this!

    The Tianyuan tribe can now make this new stone basin, and then it can be replaced by another tribe! Even the rattan baskets formed by the collection team can be used to exchange people!

    And straw sandals!

    Maybe the rattan baskets and straw sandals are not as valuable as the stone basins, but your own tribe makes them fast! And these materials are everywhere, isn't that every time a population is exchanged, it is picked up by the Tianyuan tribe for nothing?

    Um... 5 rattan baskets can be exchanged for an adult woman, and 3 pairs of straw sandals can also be exchanged for one. Adult men may not be easy to change, but the stone basin should be able to be exchanged. If it is not easy to change, you can still lower the price. Anyway, it is very easy for your tribe to do this thing...

    When the time comes, one stone basin can be exchanged for one man and one. Adult women, those tribes who have never seen these new stone basins must rush to change them.

    It is necessary to know that the stone pots that were polished with stones in the past are really difficult to polish. A generation of people may not be able to polish one. Basically, very few tribes will choose to exchange their stone pots. One is that polishing is not easy, but it is true. too expensive. As far as a tribe he knew, three men and six little girls were used to get a stone basin.

    At the price of the stone basin of your own tribe, those people will not be mad at that time!

    Moreover, compared with those stone basins, the pottery pots of my own tribe are not only lighter, but also can be baked on fire. These are advantages that the old stone basins do not have...

    not to mention...their tribe has a big killer...

    that is salted stone …

    But this thing can’t be taken out too early, nor can it be taken out too much all at once...what if others are jealous...

    at least your tribe has to become a big tribe...the little old man gradually entered in his imagination

    Dreamland ... Chen Chao hadn't slept yet. He thought of the tree tribe that is 100 kilometers away from Tianyuan tribe. It's winter. I don't know how that tree tribe is going...

    He closed his eyes slightly and tried to contact the electronic sound in his consciousness.

    After receiving a response, Chen Chao said in a low voice, "I want to see the tree tribe."

    "Valid instructions." A familiar and kind electronic tone sounded in his consciousness.

    The dense forest with many bamboo houses reappeared in Chen Chao's grave. In addition to the moonlight, he could occasionally hear a few whispers.

    I first checked their winter inventory. The meat was obviously much larger than before, and even the animal skins were much larger.

    The paddy is good, there has been an increase, but it is only under normal conditions. And thanks to the increase in animal hides, many animal hides loaded with rice are obviously only recently eliminated. It was in a semi-old state, without the obvious hole before.

    In addition, there are many more blue fruits, but due to storage intolerance, obvious mold spots have appeared on many fruits.

    Chen Chao went to look at the fruit forest again. It was a pity that many of them had fallen on the ground and began to rot. It seemed that the tree tribe could not rely on this fruit forest in winter.

    Turning his gaze to the tree tribe again, in the largest bamboo house in the woods, the leader of the tree tribe, the tree and the witch, were lying on a piece of animal skin, shivering and shivering from time to time, saying that Chen Chao did not understand. Native dialect.

    The two talked about a conversation, and then they reached out and took a fruit with mildew stains from the side and gave it to their mouths, biting out the bitter places and vomiting them, and eating them normally in other places.

    Because there is no light, the tree and the witch can't see clearly what is bad and what is good.

    Although the sweet and sour fruit cushions their stomachs, the two of them still feel hungry, hungry and cold.

    Although they were so hungry, they both tried to close their eyes and wanted to fall asleep. They could eat delicious bamboo rice at noon tomorrow.

    Although the tree tribe had Professor Chen Chao’s bamboo raft for picking fruits and sharper spear weapons, as it was late autumn at that time, even with the efforts of the entire tribe, they could barely save enough food for the winter.

    And because the fruits are not well preserved, they all spoil after a period of time. So the tree tribes have been trying hard to eat fruit recently, except for the bamboo rice meal at noon. At other times, I worked hard to satisfy my hunger with fruits. First, the meat was precious and unbearable, and the other was that the fruits collected so hard were spoiled.

    So even the chiefs and witches of the tribe tried their best to eat fruit when they were hungry.

    While the two were not asleep, Chen Chao went to look at the resources near the tree tribe. In fact, the resources of the tree tribe are very rich. The tree tribe has many animals and few people.

    The reason why they built bamboo houses on the trees was also to prevent attacks by animals.

    It can be seen that there are actually many animals around here, but the people of the tree tribe are not good at catching them, and they finally end up relying on icy wild fruits to satisfy their hunger in the winter.

    And there are large bamboo forests near them. In addition to bamboo and bamboo shoots, bamboo rats are the most common in bamboo forests!

    Besides, aren’t there still winter bamboo shoots in winter? That's a genuine seasonal delicacy. When Chen Chao thought about the way to eat winter bamboo shoots such as fried winter bamboo shoots with bacon, braised winter bamboo shoots with oil, and winter bamboo shoots braised pig trotters, he felt that his saliva would flow down.

    When eating bamboo shoots, it is best to boil them in boiling water for 5-10 minutes, and then stir-fry them with other foods. The bamboo shoots are blanched to reduce the astringency and make the taste more delicious.

    However, the tree tribe does not yet have a pottery pot that allows them to put some winter bamboo shoots in when cooking bamboo rice. It may not taste as good as fried, but it should not be bad.

    Although the tree tribe has lived here for a long time, it is not surprising that bamboo shoots can be eaten. After all, whether every kind of food can be eaten now, it must be exchanged for the price of life.

    Moreover, the main concern of the tree tribe for bamboo forests is to use, not to eat. In their eyes, old bamboo and big bamboo can make them make bamboo rice, the grown up bamboo can be used to build an adult-shaped bamboo house, and now it can be used as a bamboo raft.

    So they saw that small bamboos generally do not consider whether they can be eaten, but choose to let small bamboos grow into large bamboos, so that they can use it continuously.

    In addition to bamboo, there will be many bamboo rats in the bamboo forest. (Wild bamboo rats may carry viruses. Please don’t try to catch and eat them at will.)

    Bamboo rats are named after eating bamboo, so bamboo is the best food for breeding bamboo rats. He likes to inhabit in bamboo forests, masson pine forests and under the grass on the sunny slopes of the mountains, living underground and living in caves. Activities at night are more frequent, eating less during the day and sleeping more, eating vigorously at night.

    A bamboo rat is as big as a hare. When the tree tribe has staple food, a bamboo rat can eat at least one adult, especially in the winter when the amount of exercise is not large.

    In addition to the delicious meat of bamboo rat, its fur is also a good material for making animal skin clothes. The fur of bamboo rat is soft, rich in plush, smooth in color, and good in quality. It is the raw material for fur.

    Although it doesn't look very big, it's easy to grasp. And as long as you grab enough, you can easily get enough materials for a coat of animal skin.

    And the bamboo rats here have always lived freely, and now they have not experienced large-scale capture by two-legged beasts except for the occasional need to guard against natural enemies such as cats, foxes, and snakes.

    So it can be simply referred to as having not really been beaten up by life, and I don’t know what it is like to be taken out in a nest.

    Chen Chao withdrew his gaze from the bamboo forest, and then looked at the bamboo house of the tree tribe leader Shu and Wu.

    In addition to the shaking of some sparse leaves, two words that Chen Chao could understand were repeated in the bamboo house.

    Just listen to the tree and the witch muttering, "Bamboo raft...Bamboo raft...Bamboo raft..."
