The Rise of Primitive Tribes Farming

Chapter 134 Gourd
The Ao Tribe uses a large gourd to hold honey. This kind of gourd is very large, and it can only hold seven or eight catties of honey. After it is plugged with cork, the airtightness is very good.

Chenbei got a total of three gourds of honey, two big gourds and one small gourd.

Chen Bei pulled out the cork on the small gourd, poured out a little honey, tasted it, and nodded in satisfaction with the sweet taste.

He re-stuffed the gourd, and then took a closer look at the gourd. He found that this thing was really good, and it was very suitable for holding liquids.

Not only that, when the gourd is not old, it can be eaten as a dish, and the taste is also very good.When it is old, it can be hollowed out and used to hold water, honey and the like, and it can also be cut open and used as a water scoop.

"I like this gourd very much. Chief, can you give me some seeds? I plan to take it back to our tribe to plant some. I can exchange the goods for seeds."

Ao waved his hand, and said generously: "It's just a little gourd seed, it's not a rare thing, just give you a few good gourds."

Ao gave an order to the totem warrior under him, and the totem warrior hurried into the stone house, and soon came out with three complete gourds.

Ao handed the three gourds to Chen Bei, and said: "Take it back, take out the seeds inside, and you can plant it."

"Thank you very much."

Chen Bei took the gourd and shook it. There were indeed many seeds in it. He put the three gourds away.

Chen Bei asked Ao how to plant this gourd, because he found that there are gourd vines everywhere in the Xiong tribe. Obviously, they have been planting this thing for a long time.

"It's actually very simple. After you take it back, use a spear to poke a hole in the soil next to the house, throw the seed down, and then cover it with a little soil. It won't take long for it to grow."

"When the gourd vine grows to half a person's height, you can pull a branch and insert it next to the gourd vine, and let it climb up to the roof along the branch. When it grows up, the whole roof will be covered with gourd vines. It can also shelter the house from the wind and rain.”

After listening to Ao's narration, Chen Bei understood in his heart that although there are bear tribes who like to grow gourds, it is only because they can be eaten and used to hold things. The planting technology is quite primitive.

Poke a hole in the ground, and then throw the seeds down. With this planting method, the gourd can still grow so big. It can only be said that this kind of plant has a relatively strong survival ability, rather than being planted by the bear tribe.

After talking about the gourd, Chenbei asked the people of the Mang tribe to unload all the goods and line them up in a long row for them to trade with the people of the Bear tribe.

As for Chen Bei himself, he visited around the tribe with the leader of the Xiong tribe.

Alas, the conversation was very happy, and I don't know if it was because he didn't see a few outsiders in the tribe for a year. He took Chen Bei for a tour with great interest, and talked a lot.

"This is the fruit forest of our tribe, which can provide a lot of food for the tribe every year, and now it has been planted more and more."

The Bear Tribe put a lot of thought into these fruit trees, unlike the perfunctory planting of gourds, they also summed up a lot of planting experience.

Of course, I didn't tell Chen Bei about these experiences. Although he likes to show off, he is not stupid. If he really doesn't have a good mouth, he can't be the leader of such a big tribe.

Chen Bei asked enthusiastically, "Can these fruits of yours be traded? I want to bring some back to the clan to eat."

Ao nodded affirmatively and said: "Of course, but there are relatively few ripe fruits now. In autumn, you can come again and bring more goods. We can use part of the fruits to trade."

"Okay, then it's settled."

The reason why Chenbei wants these fruits is because there are some varieties that even the previous tree tribes did not have. When these fruits are brought back, the flesh can be eaten, and the core can be planted, which enriches the variety of fruit trees in the Mang tribe.

The two continued to walk forward. Suddenly, Chenbei saw a mountain, and the mountain was full of herbivores.

For example, gray-haired rabbits, such as wild sheep, black deer, and deer, are in groups in various areas on the mountain.

At the foot of the mountain, it is surrounded by a thick fence, and there are many totem warriors guarding it.

Chen Bei pointed to the mountain and said, "What is that place?"

Ao raised his head proudly, and said: "That is the beast mountain where we domesticate animals, and it is also one of the sources of food for our tribe."

"Taming wild animals?" Chen Bei was very surprised. He didn't expect that the bear tribe would not only simply plant, but also breed.

"That's right, we have a hunting team from the Bear Tribe, and we often capture some herbivore cubs back. These cubs are raised on the beast mountain and eaten when they grow up."

Chen Bei saw the undisguised show off on Ao's face. If it was an ordinary small tribe, he would definitely be very envious when he saw all of the Xiong tribe, because it represented the strength of the tribe.

However, Ao didn't know that Chen Bei didn't like their primitive farming techniques at all. The farming techniques of the Mang tribe were much better than theirs, and even the wild boars were castrated.

There was no fluctuation in Chen Bei's heart, but on the surface he cooperated, saying: "The Xiong tribe is indeed powerful, and it is almost catching up with the big tribe, right?"

Ao waved his hand and said: "That's not true. Compared with the big tribes, there is still a big gap."

Chen Bei's mind was moved, and he said: "Ah, the leader has been to the Great Tribe? What is the Great Tribe like? Can you tell me about it?"

"Big Tribe...that's really big..." Awow's face showed a nostalgic expression.

"When I was young, I went to the Eagle Tribe to see them. There were a lot of people there, and there were people everywhere..."

Ao told Chen Bei about what he had seen and heard in the Diao tribe.

The Eagle Tribe also knows how to plant and breed, and they grow on a very large scale. Some of the techniques of the Bear Tribe are learned from the Eagle Tribe.

In addition to farming, the carving tribes also have a series of workshops, such as kilns for firing pottery, places for grinding stone tools and bone tools, and making various things.

In addition, the tribe members of the eagle tribe would ride around on the big eagle to trade and bring back many rare things. These things were processed by them and then sold to other tribes to gain a lot of benefits.

In addition, there are many other things, and after gesticulating for a long time, Chen Bei didn't understand what it was, probably only by seeing it with his own eyes can he be sure.

After Ao finished speaking, he said again: "I heard that there are tribes outside the mountain that are bigger and more prosperous than the Diao tribe. I don't know if it's true."

Chen Bei said: "If there is a chance, I can go and see it."

Ao smiled, but didn't speak. Obviously, he didn't think that a small tribe like the Mang tribe would have the opportunity to meet the big tribe outside the mountain.

Chen Bei didn't care about it either. When the Mang tribe became strong, it would naturally have the capital to be believed.

The two continued to walk, walked around, and returned to the range of the stone house of the Xiong tribe. The transaction between the two tribes was still going on.
