Farming in Primitive Society

Chapter 75

Mu Xiaohua looked outside the cave and whispered: "Is this place too small?"

"Small?" Can looked at Mu Xiaohua suspiciously, "What small?"

"Qianping." Mu Xiaohua pursed her lips in distress, "I want to find a place to make a stove."

"What's a stove?" Lie asked curiously.

"The stove is used for burning fire, and it is fixed to put the frying pan and boiling water pot." Mu Xiaohua explained, after thinking for a while, she said: "The cave is too small, and it would be too smoky to do it in the cave." Look again Take a look and think about it, "Huh? Actually, you can move the firewood in, and you can pile it here on the right."

Anyway, even if you pile up two of the simplest fire stoves, it won't take up too much space. It is impossible to build a stove under the current conditions. We have to build a shed, otherwise we won't be able to cook when it rains.

This is another big project.

Mu Xiaohua told Can and the others in detail about her ideas, how to build a shed, how to stack the stove, and how to plan specifically.

"What are you doing?" Cheng asked curiously when he saw Mu Xiaohua and the others gesticulating outside the cave, holding rock bamboo for fishing rods.

"Brother Cheng is here!" Chan said with a smile to Cheng, "We are going to build a kitchen."

"Kitchen?" Cheng couldn't understand the new vocabulary.

"It's a special place for cooking." Can explained, "We'll build a shed outside."

"Oh!" Cheng nodded clearly, "Why do you want to build a shed outside?"

"Because it's going to be a stove, Xiaohua said it's too smoky to burn fire in the cave."

"Stove?" Cheng was puzzled again, why were there so many words he couldn't understand this afternoon?

Mu Xiaohua never told Cheng about the custom-made frying pan and boiling water pot, so she just told him right now, and explained what a frying pan and a boiling water pot are, what their functions are, and then explained what a stove is.

After hearing this, Cheng sighed, "I always feel like this, life will be different."

"Of course it will change." Mu Xiaohua said proudly, "It will get better and better."

Cheng nodded in agreement, and said, "So you two people from the Yanshan tribe who came to see you today, you ordered the wok from them."

"Yes! They discovered a new material for making utensils, and products made of this material will definitely be widely used in the future."

"So good?" Cheng was surprised, "So, the Rock Mountain Tribe will have to make a lot of money in the future."

"It's certain to make a lot of money, whoever asked others to have that ability."

"Don't you know how to make a wok and boil water?"

Mu Xiaohua shook her head: "Let's not try to earn this money. I only know the shapes and uses of frying pans and boiling pots, but I don't know how to make them."

Cheng nodded slightly disappointed.

"Heh!" Mu Xiaohua smiled helplessly, "I don't think I'm that good now, are you disappointed?"

"No, no, no." Cheng hurriedly shook his head, explaining: "I'm not disappointed in you, it's just because of the opportunity to make money that I didn't get."

"There are so many ways to make money. It's impossible to catch them all. It would be nice to have one or two. People, don't be too greedy."

"It makes sense." Cheng Chaomu Xiaohua gave a thumbs up.

"By the way." Mu Xiaohua walked in front of Cheng, "I heard that when you went outside, you saw some tribes living in wooden houses?"

"Yes!" Cheng nodded, "It's called the Dongmu tribe, and it's the tribe farthest from us that I've been to. There are tall trees, and some live directly on the trees."

"What do the wooden houses look like there?"

"Their wooden houses are not as big as our caves. They are shaped like... um... like mushrooms. They are surrounded by wooden pillars and covered with thatch on the top."

"That's right!" Mu Xiaohua nodded thoughtfully.

"Why do you ask this all of a sudden?"

"Didn't I say it will change the environment in which everyone lives?"

"En." Cheng nodded, waiting for Mu Xiaohua to continue.

Mu Xiaohua told Cheng about her idea of ​​building a wooden house, and finally said: "But the wooden house I want to build is not mushroom-shaped, but square, like this..."

Mu Xiaohua said while gesticulating, Cheng Rucan and the others looked at her with blank eyes, Mu Xiaohua found that her expressive ability was limited, and it was too pale to describe it in words, so she simply said: "I will draw for you to see."

Mu Xiaohua immediately took the branches and drew on the ground, and the single-story courtyard-style wooden house was displayed on the ground, and the audience finally nodded in understanding.

Cheng stared at the house painted by Mu Xiaohua and fell into deep thought. He slowly restored Mu Xiaohua's painting to the real thing in his mind. The more he thought about it, the better he felt, and his eyes became brighter and brighter.

Mu Xiaohua said: "The wooden house is dry, clean, and well lit. Unlike a cave, if it rains, it will be very humid, the dust will be severe, and the light will be poor. Another thing is the spaciousness. As long as the wooden house has a large area of ​​land and a lot of wood, Many rooms can be built, and caves can also be dug, but it is not always convenient to be underground.”

What the primitive society lacked most was land and wood, so these two things were not a problem at all. The most important thing that is lacking today is the technology to build houses.

Of course, building a wooden house is not a one-time job. The so-called clothing, food, housing, and transportation, food comes before living. Now we must solve the problem of food first. Building a wooden house is just a matter of setting the direction of struggle.

After talking about the wooden house, Cheng Jin continued to weave bamboo baskets in the cave, and Shi continued to weave back baskets. Can, Yu, and Lie went up the mountain to cut wood to build a shed. In one morning, they had cleared enough lawn. Go straight to practice, while Mu Xiaohua makes a fishing rod.

It didn’t take much time to finish the two fishing rods. After that, Mu Xiaohua continued to weave straw sandals. Of course, this fishing rod is still short of the last hook, because it is difficult for Mu Xiaohua to turn out the backpack, so she has to put it on at night. .

Cheng naturally noticed that Mu Xiaohua only said that the fishhook had to be fished at night, and Cheng didn't ask more specific questions, such as why did it have to be fished at night?What is the hook used for?After all, there are too many mysterious things about Mu Xiaohua, and if she wants to hide it from him, it's not easy for her to inquire too much.

Another busy afternoon passed by each of them. Cheng originally wanted to weave the bamboo basket today, but he didn't have much time for weaving, and the weaving speed was also slow. With his progress, it would take a day to finish weaving.

Shi's back basket has already been made into a bottom circle, and compared with Cheng, this is the difference between talented and untalented people.

According to Mu Xiaohua's request, Can and the others chopped down a few pieces of wood that were as thick as an arm and two bundles of wood that were half the size.

Mu Xiaohua weaves a straw sandal that completely covers her feet, which makes her very happy and feels a great sense of accomplishment.

When it was time to prepare dinner, Can came in holding the firewood, sniffed hard and said, "I always feel a very different smell, have you smelled it?"
