Travel through the ancient forest system

Chapter 192 Currency
After eating, Xiao Chun left first. Although he is no longer the leader, he is still in charge of the tribe's planting work and is busy.

But when he left, he specially told Xiao Fan: "Take care of Xiaoyu, she is much more important than you!"

During pregnancy, Wu dialect is restricted a lot, you can’t do this, you can’t go there, and Wu dialect is not a restless temperament.

Taking advantage of this time, Wu Yu thought about the method of making paper.

Fortunately, I read an article about papermaking before, and I still have some impressions of the raw materials and methods.

Fiber-rich things such as bark, hemp, bamboo, and rice straw can all be used to make paper, but the texture of the paper will vary.

The method is inseparable from these five steps: soaking and mashing, cooking for a long time to make a pulp, scooping the pulp to make a film, pressing the paper out of the water, and drying through the fire.

Wu Yu wrote down the main points one by one and prepared pictures for each step. It took a few days of work, and it was finally done today.

She was going to hand it over to Xiao Fan to experiment later to see if she could make molded paper. Leaving aside the issue of texture, it would not be too late to improve upon success.

However, Xiao Fan came back a bit late today, until she and Yun Qing finished dinner, there was no one to be seen.

"Xiaoyu, I've delivered food to your father, you're fine on your own."

Because Xiao Chun is also busy, he may not have time to come here to eat, so Yun Qing often brings him over after eating.

"Mom, you go, I'm fine."

Soon Wu Yu was three months pregnant, and the fetus has stabilized a lot, so she doesn't need to be as nervous as before.

She is more worried now, is there any important matter in the tribe, otherwise Xiao Fan would rarely come back so late.

Especially since she was pregnant and came back early every day.

The anxiety in her heart made her look at the door from time to time, and she put aside the carefully prepared drawings and ignored them.

After watching it several times, she finally heard the sound of footsteps at the door that she was looking forward to.

Wu Yu quickly got up and walked over with a bang, "Afan, why are you so late today?"

Xiao Fan was frightened by her movements, and hurriedly supported her, "Slow down, Xiaoyu. You can't move so fast now."

After supporting her to sit down, Xiao Fan explained the reason for his late return, "Isn't it just one month before the fair? We are discussing how to do this year's fair."

"Isn't it the same as in previous years?"

Xiao Fan shook his head, "It's different, most of the tribes have started planting now, and there is no shortage of food, so it is not feasible to exchange food for other resources.

For example, in our tribe, if others want to exchange food for our agricultural tools, it is not worthwhile at all, because we have no shortage of food. "

After hearing Xiao Fan's explanation, Wu Yu knew where the problem was.

Because barter is still practiced in the forest today, using what you have in excess to exchange for the resources you lack, but sometimes what you own is not what others need, which limits the transaction.

This was not a big problem in the past, because there was a shortage of all resources, but now many things have been developed, and the needs of each tribe are also quite different.

So bartering has become somewhat inappropriate.

"Afan, I think it's time for us to create a currency."

"currency?"

"Yes, do you remember what people outside traded for things?"

Xiao Fan thought of the things he had found from those people, "Copper coins and iron coins!"

"It's these things, they can solve our problems now."
