I am a Primitive Man

Chapter 41: Salt mountain, deer, boiled salt

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

   After eating salted food, and then eating barbecue and grilled fish without salt, I only feel that the food that tasted great before is a little hard to swallow.

   It just happened that yesterday I had better luck in hunting and brought back more prey, so today the big brothers and the others took the tools to Yanshan with Han Cheng.

   Salt Mountain is the name Han Cheng gave to the salt mine.

   There is no name, which is really inconvenient.

  To go to Yanshan, he needs to pass through the place where he found the rape. The **** blossoms are still blooming, although there are only empty poles and no flowers.

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

  Because they were thinking of delicious salt, they did not pay enough attention to the weeds that the **** child said.

   After all, they see a lot of weeds every day, and they don't think this kind of weeds with flowers is so rare.

  Han Cheng followed the mark he remembered yesterday and walked east.

   Fortunately, he led the people in the tribe to find the location of the Salt Mountain. Unlike the fisherman in "Peach Blossom Spring", he was unlucky and always aspiring, and there was no way to go again.

   Han Cheng couldn't help but smile as he thought about this. After all, he and the fisherman encountered a different situation. There were only a group of deer here in Yanshan, and a group of people lived in Taohuayuan.

   People are highly guarded and will follow and change markers, while deer do not.

   Uncle Deer's ethnic group leading it is still here, basking in the sun and gnawing green grass leisurely, and licking two tongues on the stone wall when it is all right.

Big brother and other people in the tribe, when they saw such a large herd of deer here, their eyes immediately brightened. They had become accustomed to hunting, and even without the master’s command, they prepared to attack the group of deer with their weapons. attack.

   Han Cheng stopped quickly.

   For these deer, he has his own ideas.

   Han Cheng talked to the big brother, and then gave an order not to disturb the deer.

   then took this group of reluctant people and walked a distance south, about a hundred meters away from the deer, facing each other without disturbing each other.

Uncle Deer and his younger brother were quite wary of these uninvited guests at first, but when they discovered that the leader was the useless'two-legged beast' that he had bullied yesterday, and the rest also used two legs. After the guys who walked, and these guys didn't lean towards themselves, they gradually relaxed their vigilance.

As their boss, Uncle Deer calmed down his emotions and even took a graceful step. With a king's posture, he walked leisurely to the stone wall that they used to practice their tongues and smashed their feet. The beast' approached.

Han Cheng hurriedly stopped seeing the big brother and the others who couldn’t help but want to take another shot. From the grass beside him, he pulled some of the rapeseed that had been eaten with cauliflower and could not produce seeds. Uncle Deer in the style of deputy king.

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

   Ben’s thoughts, if the group of deer were still there, they would tentatively send them over. Unexpectedly, he hadn't taken any action yet. Uncle Deer who had seen the world had already come to collect protection fees.

   Facing the rapeseed that Han Cheng handed over, Uncle Deer was rude and just opened his mouth to eat.

   After eating, it seemed that he was satisfied with Han Cheng's winking behavior. Uncle Lu made a noise, which was regarded as a recognition of the actions of these ‘two-legged beasts’ on his territory.

   then returned to its race with graceful steps, raising his head high, looking like a general who had returned from victory.

   With the participation of big brothers who are strong and often fighting beasts, things like smashing stones go much faster.

   The rock salt that was smashed down was carried away in large chunks, and the small pieces were transported away in the skins used to wrap the fruit in autumn.

Because this place is almost ten miles away from the place where the tribe is located, it is worried that there will be dangers from falling back and forth. Therefore, when transporting rock salt from the tribe in the past, it did not go alone, but enough to transport half of the people. After the rock, they set off again, just like when they picked the fruit and transported it to the tribe in autumn.

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

   The efficiency of hand-carrying on the shoulder is very slow, but there is no way. At this time, there are no good tools, so I can only use this stupid method.

   But after this day, the small river in front of the cave, not too far from the pottery place, also piled up a pile of large and small rock salt, at least a thousand catties.

   This is not an exaggeration, after all, rock salt is not too strong, it is easier to smash down from the mountain.

   And today, in addition to all members of the hunting team, there are seven or eight and a half older children involved in labor.

   So many people bring back over 1,000 catties of rock salt a day, not much at all.

   There is no salt production today, all are used to transport rock salt.

After all, it’s not too much to get the big brothers and they don’t have to go out hunting~www.wuxiahere.com~Salt making, Han Cheng and some children in the tribe, as well as lame cripples and a few or weak or weak It can be done by women who are pregnant or with children.

   And the task of smashing the rock salt down from the mountain seven or eight miles away, and then transporting it, is difficult for them, the weak and the old.

   The next day, the big brother led people out to hunt, and Han Cheng took the old pottery hands and started making salt.

  Big brothers and the others actually want to stay, they are very interested in how to get the delicious salt out of the stone.

   But if you don’t hunt, there will be no food in the tribe tomorrow, so they have to go hunting.

   Next to the small river, the great salt cooking industry is in full swing, and Han Cheng divides labor according to the characteristics of everyone.

   The stronger black baby and the lame people are responsible for smashing big rocks into small rocks, and then smashing the small rocks into powder.

   The few female primitive men are not as old as the lame black baby, and they are responsible for filtering the salt mines with pots, dead grass and charcoal.

   Xiaomei, Xiaoli, Xing and others with less strength are responsible for cooking the salt.

   Han Cheng is the technical guide on the side, and is responsible for getting the last boiled salt out of the earthenware pot, and then putting the offal into the jar.

It is necessary to move the salt-making site to the side of a small river. After all, salt-making requires a lot of water and a large site is needed. If they are all carried out in caves, the caves that are already wet will be made even worse. Adult.

   As long as it is labor, there is nothing that is not tired. Everyone is tired after a day.

   But after seeing the delicious salt in the half jar, everyone's faces showed heartfelt smiles. With these delicious salt, even if it is more tired, it is worth it!
