Emperor’s Battlefield: I, Zhu Houzhao, like to push horizontally

Chapter 152 News about wheat and salt.

“It’s so delicious, but it’s a pity there’s too little...”

The turtle's shell was almost burnt, and the tribesmen finally got a cup each.

The first time they tasted the delicious food, everyone was nostalgic.

I'm even imagining how great it would be to be able to eat this kind of delicious food every day in the future, not to mention fullness, just a bite.

Zhu Houzhao also only drank one drink.

This kind of fish soup, which had no other taste except the freshness of fish, was a bit uncomfortable for him who was used to enjoying fine food.

"Shi, have you seen this fruit before?"

Putting his bamboo cup list aside, Zhu Houzhao thought of the wheat he found today, took it out quickly, and handed it to Old Man Shi who was also thinking about it next to him.

Seeing that the clan leader was in need, Old Man Shi no longer thought about it. He quickly sat up, took the animal skin that Zhu Houzhao handed over, took out the wheat inside, and frowned and looked at it carefully.

After a while, he said with some uncertainty: "I think I have seen it before." Then he looked at a woman in the tribe and said, "Mao, come here and see if this is the fruit you brought when you came from the Qin tribe. .”

The woman who was sitting by the fire, savoring the delicious fish soup and roasting meat, quickly came over and took the wheat from Old Man Shi's hand.

This woman named Mao was transferred from another tribe. Now she has given birth to three children, one of which is still a bone.

After taking the wheat's hair, he thought about it for a long time before nodding.

"It's very similar!"

Zhu Houzhao's eyes lit up and he asked quickly, "Then do you remember where this fruit grows?"

Mao nodded and pointed upstream by the river.

"There are a lot of them growing next to my tribe, near the river, and many birds eat them every time they mature."

"But there was a man-eating quagmire there, and we couldn't get through it. The one I got was blown over by a strong wind. I thought it looked good, so I put it on my head, and then we came to this tribe with me."

"How far away is her tribe?"

After learning where the wheat came from and that there was a large area, Zhu Houzhao was instantly ecstatic.

Now that it is autumn, these untamed wheat should still germinate in spring and mature in autumn. This should be the time to harvest.

If we get the wheat back and select good seeds to plant for one year, we can directly open up wasteland next year.

"It takes three sunrises!"

As the representative of the annual mating, Old Man Shi clearly remembers the time when he went to the surrounding tribes.

"Chief, I have been to her tribe, and I know how to get there."

Bones, who didn't have time to interrupt, quickly said that he had been there when they had sex.

Zhu Houzhao nodded and looked at the divided saber-toothed tiger meat.

The tribe's food storage, plus the saber-toothed tiger, is enough to feed the tribe for half a month. If the women go out to collect during the day, it will be fine for a month.

"Did this year's intercourse take place?"

Zhu Houzhao looked at Old Man Shi.

Old Man Shi shook his head. He always went there after collecting food before winter came.

In this way, women can conceive in winter and give birth to children in the following summer, which will make it easier for the children to survive and there will be no shortage of food.

"I will lead the team this time. Tomorrow I will lead the hunting team to replenish some prey. We will set off the day after tomorrow. Please prepare the people who will participate in this intercourse."

Time waits for no one. If it is late and the wheat is eaten by those birds, Zhu Houzhao will have to wait another year if he wants to develop farming.If Zhu Houzhao had proposed this suggestion before, Old Man Shi and Bones would have strongly rejected it without hesitation.

But Zhu Houzhao's magic in the past two days gradually changed their minds and put Zhu Houzhao in the position of the clan leader.

With the hope of development, Zhu Houzhao was in an especially good mood, and even personally taught the women how to grill fish and barbecue.

Tasting the real taste of grilled fish and barbecue, the tribesmen all cried.

Why is it also roasted over fire? The taste taught by the patriarch is so delicious.

Before dawn the next day, Zhu Houzhao got up early and made a pot of fish and egg drop soup using the blackened turtle shell.

Although the young, old, women and children were salivating at the taste, they did not come forward to share the food.

They knew it was for the hunting party and not their part.

In order to hunt more prey, the number of members of the hunting team increased to 20 today. In addition to the 10 people yesterday, 10 young women and almost-adult children were added.

Their job is to deliver food.

After all, when the hunting team comes back, they have to be wary of sneak attacks by wild beasts. If they bring too many things, it will affect the battle.

The well-fed team set off after the sun rose, walking towards the river along the route they had taken yesterday.

The harvest today is still very rich.

When I came back in the evening, I had brought with me more than 30 large fish and several large bags of eggs of various birds.

With yesterday's teachings, the tribesmen have gradually learned how to barbecue to make it more delicious.

Zhu Houzhao stopped caring about them and started playing with his own food. He also discussed with the old man Shi who came over to trade with the other tribe for how many people and things they would exchange for when they had sex.

"Chief, they have a very salty stone. Licking it every time you eat can make your body stronger."

The human issue was discussed yesterday, and Old Man Shi focused on the items being traded.

"Salty rocks?"

Zhu Houzhao squinted his eyes. It should be a salt mine. He didn't expect that the salt he was looking for would appear so quickly.

Old Man Shi nodded, "Yes, Patriarch, it tastes very strange, but it can indeed make the body stronger, but they are also very greedy, and they can only exchange such a big piece of food for one person." After speaking, he stretched out his hand to gesture to a coconut. size shape.

Looking at the old man's appearance, Zhu Houzhao looked at Mao who was grilling fish next to him, "Where did the salty stones from your tribe come from?"

Mao shook his head, "I really don't know about this. Only the clan leader and hunting captain know that the stones that the tribe exchanges with others are all brought back by them."

Zhu Houzhao nodded and said no more.

In addition to having sex and exchanging things, most primitive people wandered around the tribe and never strayed too far away.

From this, it can be explained that the salt mine should be around the opponent's tribe.

With a clear goal in mind, Zhu Houzhao had a plan in mind.

He called Bones, who was showing off his skills in grilling fish, and took Old Man Shi and the three of them into the small cave, and started plotting in a low voice.

It was still sunny on the second day. Zhu Houzhao, who was carrying several bamboo spears on his back, headed for Mao's tribe with half of his clan's fighting strength and prepared furs and meat on his back.

In order to prevent Zhu Houzhao from leaving with his people and the tribe being attacked empty-handedly, Zhu Houzhao kept the bones that he was clamoring to follow.

Bones' combat power is second only to him. With this general in the tribe, as long as they don't encounter a large number of enemies and ferocious beasts, the tribe's safety can be perfectly guaranteed.
