The Rise of Primitive Tribes Farming

Chapter 33

In the fourth month of autumn, thanks to the efforts of all the members of the Mang tribe, the mud-brick house was finally built in one month.

Although there are no tiles, the roof is still covered with bark and bundled hay, but compared to the narrow and simple wooden house, the spacious and thick mud brick house is many times better.

But the mud brick house has a disadvantage, that is, the ground is all mud, once it rains, it will look muddy, and the wooden house is similar in this regard.

In order to improve this shortcoming, Chen Bei thought of a way, which was to bring back a large amount of river sand from the river to pave the ground.

First spread a layer of plant ash on the ground, and then spread a layer of sand, so that after a long time of stepping on it, the sand will condense into lumps. Although it is not as good as the concrete floor, it will not be so muddy in rainy days.

Another issue is the firepit. Chen Bei feels that although the firepit can bring warmth in winter, the whole house will be smothered in darkness. There are many ways to warm up by the fire, so there is no need to keep the firepit.

So Chenbei simply made a fireplace-like stove out of stones and yellow mud, and a chimney made of yellow mud was connected to the end to exhaust the smoke to the roof.

The people of the Mang tribe have an almost blind trust and admiration for Chenbei. Everyone saw that the leader's house did not use a firepit, but a stove, and it looked very good. Except for a small number of people who kept the firepit, everyone was in the new The stove was remodeled in the house.

In the middle of the fourth month of autumn, at noon.

"Grumbling..."

Chen Bei was sitting in his new house. In the stone pot, fish and dried vegetables were constantly tossing in the boiling water, and the whole house was filled with a fragrance.

Dried green vegetables are light yellow in color. Mang tribes have a lot of them now. When cooking meat, everyone likes to put some down and cook together.

"Unfortunately, there is no chili, otherwise I can find a way to make a pickled fish."

Chen Bei has always been worried about the lack of chili peppers. He knows that there should be chili peppers in the wild, such as wild peppers, but he just couldn't find them.

Chen Bei sat on the tree stump stool, picked up a piece of fish with chopsticks and tasted it, the taste was very sweet, he nodded in satisfaction.

A few days ago when he was looking for herbs for the witch on the mountain, he found that one of the herbs was wild ginger. When he found a small piece of wild ginger, his coke broke and he dug it all up.

Except for part of the wild ginger that Wu used as herbal medicine, the rest was with him, part of it was reserved as seeds for planting next year, and the other part was used by him for cooking to remove fishy smell.

With the abundance of supplies, Chen Bei can finally treat his stomach kindly, instead of taking satiation as the biggest goal as before.

Chen Bei ate a large fish, a few red cones and a piece of potato, and his stomach was finally full.

He rubbed his stomach, and covered the firewood in the stove with plant ash, so that the charcoal fire could burn slowly under the cover of plant ash, so he didn't have to worry about the fire at night.

Chen Bei went outside, the weather today was particularly good, the sun was shining brightly, the sky seemed to have been washed, it was blue, and a few white clouds were floating in the sky, changing their appearance from time to time.

Chenbei walked all the way to the courtyard where Qingzhu lived, which was the only house in the Mang tribe with a large courtyard.

The gate of the courtyard was open during the day, and Chen Bei walked in directly, stepping on the stone road, with various herbs planted on both sides, some with withered yellow leaves, some still green, and some bearing fruit.

The most conspicuous thing is a huge red flower in the corner of the yard, facing the sun, blooming particularly gorgeously, with a tangy fragrance.

"Hey, Giant Mouth Flower, it has completely recovered."

Chen Bei still remembered that this giant mouth flower was punched through by himself at the beginning, but he didn't expect it to be completely recovered now, and it was late autumn, and it was still blooming, which shows how tenacious its vitality is.

Qingzhu came out of the house and said: "The healing medicine made from the juice of this giant mouth flower is very effective, thanks to the leader who dug it back."

Chen Bei said: "Really? Then if I meet again in the future, I will dig a few more plants for you."

While they were talking, suddenly, two huge birds flew in the distant sky, one on the left and the other on the right, like two dark clouds.

"Hey, what a big bird!"

Chen Bei raised his head and saw these two birds just in time. He was amazed by their huge size.

Qingzhu frowned slightly, and said: "This should be a bird raised by the Diao tribe. It's called a giant eagle, and it should be directed at our tribe."

When Qingzhu said this, Chenbei immediately raised his vigilance. The current Mang tribe is not considered powerful. He has heard of the Diao tribe. It is said that it is a large tribe with a population of tens of thousands. Sorry.

"People from the Diao tribe, what are they doing here?" Chen Bei asked.

"The leader doesn't need to be too nervous. Our tribe is so small that it won't cause the eagle tribe to attack. I guess they are here to trade goods."

"Deal?" Chen Bei looked at Qing Zhu in surprise.

"That's right, the people of the Eagle tribe like to trade. They will not only trade with the small tribes in the mountains, but also with the big tribes outside the mountains."

"The shaman's inheritance told me that the people of the eagle tribe don't like to start wars, and they ride giant eagles to various places every year to make deals in order to seek benefits."

"Let's see what they can bring us."

The trade between the big tribe and the small tribe is definitely unfair. Chenbei is very clear that the eagle tribe can make huge profits through this.

However, Chen Bei also wanted to see what the big tribe would produce. If there was something good, could the Mang tribe imitate it in the future?
Thinking of this, Chen Bei began to look forward to it again. He let Qing Zhu stay in the yard and walked out by himself.

Sure enough, the two huge birds really flew towards the Mang tribe, and they flew lower and lower, obviously going to land in the Mang tribe.

The huge size of the giant eagle made the Mang tribe exclaim in surprise. Their wings spread more than ten meters, and their body was as big as a house. Their claws could easily crush a big tree.

"Bang bang!"

The giant eagle landed on the open space in front of the Mang tribe, and the ground trembled a few times.

Watching these two huge giant sculptures up close is even more shocking.

They just stand on the ground, about three meters high, covered with thick black feathers, and their two eyes are very sharp, making them daunting.

Their thick and sharp claws are like poured steel, and they can easily poke a few big holes in the ground.

People from the Mang tribe hid in the distance to watch, but few dared to approach.

There are two people on each giant eagle, a total of four people, they jumped off the giant eagle, looked at the people of the Mang tribe hiding in the distance, with disdain in their eyes and a little arrogant posture.

In front of a small tribe like the Mang tribe, they are indeed qualified to be proud.

Among these four people, two were middle-level totem warriors, and the other two were low-level totem warriors. They all had totem patterns of the carved tribe on their faces, and they exuded a fierce aura from top to bottom.

Among them, a mid-level totem warrior was obviously the leader. He stood up and said, "Don't be afraid. I am Chi Yu from the Eagle Tribe. I'm here to make a deal with you. Let the leader of your tribe come out."

This totem warrior named Akabane doesn't wear animal skins like other tribes. He wears a fiery red feather coat.

This is also one of the characteristics of the Eagle tribe. People in their tribe mostly use feathers to make clothes.

Chen Bei walked out of the tribe, walked up to Chi Yu, and said, "I am the leader of the Mang tribe, and my name is Chen."

Such a young leader?
Akabane was slightly surprised, especially when he felt that the other party was actually a mid-level totem warrior, the surprise was even stronger.

Such a young mid-level totem warrior is rare, especially in such a small and little-known tribe, it is extremely rare.

However, the fighters of the Eagle Tribe are equally powerful, and among them, some of the best fighters of the younger generation have reached the intermediate level of totem fighters, so he was just surprised, that's all.

"Chief Chen, we are here to make a deal with your tribe. We have brought a lot of good things. If you are interested, you can exchange them with things of the same value."

Akabane winked at the three people behind, and the three climbed onto the giant eagle again, and took down several large baskets.

They took out large pieces of animal skins from the big baskets to spread the floor, and then laid out part of the goods in the baskets.

At this time, the elders and the captains also came over, and everyone followed behind Chen Bei, watching the goods one after another.

Akabane picked up a pottery pot from the animal skin, it was very round, and there were exquisite patterns on it, even from the perspective of Chen Bei, this kind of craftsmanship can be called very good.

"Chief Chen, this is a pottery basin. Look at the exquisite patterns on it. This is a rare and good thing."

"Think about it, if a guest from your tribe comes, and you serve him with dishes in this clay pot during the meal, he will definitely think that your tribe is very powerful."

Akabane talks eloquently, not only pottery basins, but also various kinds of pottery vases, bowls, bone wine glasses, and various exquisite ornaments.

Under Akabane's introduction, the eyes of Lie and the others behind Chenbei were already shining. Obviously, these things are quite attractive to them.

Finally, Akabane took out another animal skin bag and opened it proudly, revealing the glistening salt inside.

"The last item, I think you must need it more, is salt, the white salt that only our Diao tribe can produce!"

The salt of the Diao tribe turned out to be snow-white particles, and Chen Bei stared straight at it, which almost broke his understanding of the salt of primitive tribes.

He originally thought that the salt of these tribes was not filtered clean, either yellowish brown, or blue, etc. The white salt was already relatively pure.

Could it be that they have mastered the method of making pure salt?

But these questions, Chen Bei can only think in his heart, it is impossible to ask, if the Diao tribe knows that he can make salt, he will be in big trouble.

Akabane said again: "Our goods are already here, Chief Chen, if you want them, you can exchange them with good things from your tribe."

"It doesn't matter if it's good animal bones, animal teeth, animal skins, or other treasures, as long as we think the value is equivalent, we can trade with you."

Akabane believes that when people in this small tribe see these good things, they will definitely exchange the best things of their own tribe. As for the value of these things, isn't it up to Akabane himself?

This is the secret of the eagle tribe's ability to make huge profits when trading.
