Primitives are stunned

Chapter 136 The Connection Between Foods

Wang Hao, who was awakened by the screams, quickly stood up.Wang Hu and the others who were breaking the fish also pulled out the dagger at their waist from the scabbard.They all thought it was a sneak attack by wild beasts in the dark.

After knowing the situation clearly, Wang Hao discovered that it turned out to be a clansman who was chopping fish. Because it was too dark, he accidentally chopped the ax on his hand.

Things have come to this, no matter how reluctant these fish are, they have to stop working.

Hand over the injured person to Shi Li to bandage, and after Wang Hao took everyone to tidy up for a while, he went to prepare dinner.

After returning, everyone brought back the strong smell of fish to the village.Under the leadership of Wang Hao, everyone who had already begun to have a concept of hygiene stripped themselves naked in the dark, and washed the fish blood off their bodies in the heavy rain.

Wang Hao sat in the dining shed, letting Qian Duo bring hot water to wipe the fish blood off his hands and feet, frowning, and fell into deep thought again.

Wang Hu and others surrounded him, waiting for him to come up with an idea.

However, Wang Hao's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, but he couldn't think of a feasible solution for a long time.

"Hao, it's raining so hard, even if we can finish washing the fish, we can't finish smoking it! You also said that if the fish meat is not smoked, it will go bad in a few days. What should we do? Huh?" Wang Hu couldn't hold back his temper, and asked first.Usually, when encountering any problem in the village, if everyone really couldn't solve it, they would all come to Wang Hao, because Wang Hao would always come up with a solution.

It's fine if there are no fishing nets, no matter how many fish there are in the river, everyone will not be sad.But now, the people who have just eaten a little bit of the sweetness of the fishing nets can clearly catch a huge amount of fish, but because of the heavy rain, they cannot smoke a large amount, which is really worrying.

"Xiaohao, I also checked the sky today. Based on my years of experience, I can see that this rain is different from the previous ones. If you want to stop, it will take at least four or five days. Wooden shed It’s too small to smoke too much dried fish at all, and if there is no wooden shed, it’s impossible to light a fire, so what should I do?” With the first one opening, there will naturally be the second opening.Wang Long also spoke.

Wang Hao couldn't answer their questions at all. It was going to rain and his mother was going to get married. What could he do? If he built enough wooden sheds, the summer flood would have passed after the wooden sheds were built.

Before Wang Hao could speak, Wang Hu suddenly said, "Hao! I have a solution!"

A wise man will lose a thousand worries, and a fool will gain a thousand fools.Hearing Wang Hu say that he has a solution, Wang Hao's eyes lit up instantly. Although Wang Hu is usually stupid and always thinks of problems, he can't think of an idea, but in case he suddenly has an idea this time, no one else can figure it out. The way I figured out.

"What way? Tell me!" Wang Hao stood up and asked.

"I think we don't need to catch fish at all now. We might as well wait until the weather clears before casting nets. At that time, we can build as many fires as we want! How many fish can be smoked! "Wang Hu was stunned by his own thoughts. He suddenly discovered that he was quite smart.

However, after Wang Hao heard his method, he rolled his eyes speechlessly.

"Now is the summer flood season, when fish schools go upstream to spawn, only at this time, those fish will pass by the village as if they were passing by.

That is to say, the reason why we can catch so many fish is that all the fish from the lower reaches of the big river came to us.After this period of time passes, all fish will have their own territory, just like each of our villages has a different hunting range, they will not easily go to unfamiliar waters.

At that time, the first few nets may have a good harvest, but when all the fish in our area are caught, maybe you can catch as many fish in ten days as you can in two nets now. Seeing the joyful expressions of everyone around Wang Hu's words, Wang Hao had no choice but to explain.

"Water doesn't flow, so the fish will be rushed over!" Wang Hu explained aggrievedly, not understanding Wang Hao's words at all.

"You..." Wang Hao felt speechless for a while, Wang Hu is good at everything, but his brain is really worrying.

"You just need to know that if you miss this period, after the summer flood season, we won't be able to catch so many fish for a year." In the end, Wang Hao explained helplessly with a sigh.

"Then what should we do?" After hearing Wang Hao's words, everyone became anxious and asked quickly.

"Oh, I have no other choice. I can only take one step at a time. What I am worried about now is not fishing at all, but what the people who come to work in our village will eat this year." Wang Hao said worriedly .

"It's okay, don't we have bows and arrows? We go hunting without fish to eat. Catching prey now is not like playing!" Wang Hu, who had just been refuted by Wang Hao, immediately explained after hearing what he said.

"It is because of bows and arrows that I worry about food. Although the appearance of bows and arrows provides convenience for our hunting, it is also a serious damage to the ecological balance. If other tribes have a population of nearly a thousand, the territory The range is very large, such a large range can completely provide enough prey for the population of their village.

But our village is different. The only places suitable for hunting are the plains and the outskirts of the Black Forest. If we are just a small village of 300 to [-] people, of course there is no problem. As much as we eat, as many new prey will be born. But when other villages assign people to work here, the demand for food will rise rapidly. At that time, the speed of new prey being born and growing cannot keep up with the speed of our eating.

In other words, we will eat up all the food that can be eaten in this piece of land.And, all this will happen in as little as one year.At that time, we will be starved to death! "Wang Hao said worriedly.

When everyone heard this, they all understood the seriousness of the situation, and their faces changed instantly.

Gu Mu thought for a while and said: "In this case, we can move the village again at that time. As long as we send people to survey the terrain in advance, and then make a plan, with the help of giants and eight bull crossbows, even if we meet second- and third-level creatures, we should It won't be too much of a risk."

"Impossible!" Wang Hao said loudly: "Move the village, if I move the village again, why should I let these foreigners come to work in our tribe? I want to build a city here, a city that can protect us humans forever, even if we meet A city where third-level and fourth-level creatures don’t have to be afraid.”

"If this is the case, we will eat up all the food in this area sooner or later. At that time, the number of people will increase. Even if we can catch a lot of fish every year, we will starve to death!" Gu Mu listened After listening to Wang Hao's words, he raised his head and said to him seriously.

"Nonsense, I must have considered this. Do you still remember the wheat I met on the exchange day? That is my back-up, and even if there is no wheat, as long as we survive this year, we will not worry about food next year. We can plant Sweet fruit, and other edible plants. During this period of time, I rode the giant clawed dragon out for a walk every day, for what, not to find those plants that can be planted." Wang Hao said.

"Hao, why don't you plant this year?" Wang Hu asked, rubbing his head.

"It's not that I don't want to plant this year, but that I can't plant them. The transplanting of sweet fruit trees can only be guaranteed to survive when it snows. The rest of the plants that can be eaten are either not yet ripe, or they are ripe and have no seeds. Remember Did I ask you to collect the grass fruit stones last time? When the leaves turn yellow, we can bury them in the soil, and next year, grass fruits will grow on the ground. Although grass fruits cannot be used as staple food, they are also Can be used as a snack.

But this is just one of them, and now I have found dozens of other things that can be planted, but they are not mature enough to get seeds! "Wang Hao sighed, sat back on the chair and said weakly.

The systematic identification technique not only allows him to distinguish which things are edible, but also allows him to understand how to cultivate those things. However, when he crossed over, it happened to coincide with the transition season of spring and summer. At this time, it should have been planted. It's a pity that he can't cultivate because he has no seeds. Otherwise, he doesn't have to bother to catch more fish now.
