Chapter 50 The Salted Fish

The entire Qingque tribe was irritated by the fish cage. The next morning, the big brother got up, rubbed hands with other hunting team members, and looked at Han Cheng and the fish cage enshrined in front of the totem pole.

They want to see with their own eyes the demeanor of fish cage fishing bestowed by the gods.

Han Cheng knew what they were thinking, so he took the fish cage and went out. As a result, all the other people in the cave followed to see the miracle.

Even the most stable witch is no exception.

Today's luck was not very good, and when he came back from the small river, he only caught eight fish.

But this is enough to shock the senior brothers and the others, because it is still early, and even half the morning has not been used up.

Moreover, after the fish cage was launched into the water, one of the elder brother's wives who was the most skilled at spearfishing in the tribe, under the arrangement of the elder brother, took a simple harpoon and did it 20 meters away.

In the same amount of time, she only caught three fish!

The advantages of the fish cage are fully reflected after the comparison!

After collecting the fish cage, without Han Cheng's instructions, the senior brother, who was already in a state of fanaticism, took other people who were also fanatical to find a suitable wooden stick.

Other people in the cave are twisting straw ropes with rope grass.

After all the materials were ready, Han Cheng started making fish cages again, and he chose three people who were more ingenious in the tribe to teach them, including lameness.

At night, the Qingque tribe had four more fish cages, including the original one, a total of five!

The ease of use of the fish cage far exceeded Wu's imagination.

Because Han Cheng weaves a net that can be entered and exited at the mouth of the fish cage, after the fish enters the fish cage, there is no need to pull it out in a hurry, and the fish will not escape.

So one person does not have to guard a fish cage completely.

One person can take care of three or even four fish cages, and he can be busy enough.

The people who take care of the fish cages only need to stay on the shore, and then pull the fish cages out of the water one by one every once in a while, take out the fish inside, and then put the fish cages back into the water.

Moreover, because the fish cage is placed in the water for a long time, sometimes, when the fish cage is pulled out, there may be two or even three fish in it!

One person guards the fish cage, and two people are dispatched to transport the fish to the tribe. After one day, the tribe will not be able to eat all the fish caught in two days!

The food problem, which has been pressing on everyone's minds and makes people dare not relax in the slightest, was solved by these small fish cages and the minors in the three tribes!

This……

This is truly a miracle!

Looking at the fish piled up in the cave, and the fish cages neatly placed in the most conspicuous places of the tribe, everyone had a sincere smile on their faces.

They don't have to be busy all day and worry about not having enough food!

This is a gift from God and the Son of God!

The advent of the fish cage made Han Cheng's prestige in the tribe even higher, far surpassing that of the elder brother who was the leader, and even higher than the wise witch in the tribe.

But Han Cheng is not proud of it, because in his opinion, it is not something to be proud of.

He still treats Wu and others as usual, he should still be respectful, and what should be approachable is still approachable.

But everyone in the tribe respected him from the bottom of their hearts.

Now that the weather is already hot, there are too many fish caught every day, and if they can't eat them, they will spoil.

However, Han Cheng still did not reduce the number of fish cages launched into the water.

But what is different from the past is that the fish caught are not directly transported back to the cave, but are cleaned up on the spot by the small river, and then salt is rubbed on them. The place where the pottery came down to dry.

This is to make dried salted fish.

Those in charge of doing this are some minors in the tribe who can do light work, women with weaker physiques, and of course, lame.

Fish internal organs and fish scales, etc. Han Cheng did not let them throw them randomly, but dug some pits at a place 20 meters away from the river bank and close to the downstream. The internal organs cleaned out every day were thrown into these pits. , When it was time to finish work in the evening, some dead grass was thrown on top of these internal organs, and then evenly covered with a layer of soil.

Go on in this order, after leveling a pit, change to another pit.

Of course, Han Cheng didn't do any more useless work.

In doing so, the environment can be protected, and fish viscera will not be filled everywhere by the river, and secondly, it can be fertilized.

In autumn, he was going to plant a crop of rapeseed. Now that he had the opportunity, he naturally had to make some preparations in advance.

The construction of the fence is a huge project for today's tribe. Han Cheng roughly calculated the amount of work. Even in autumn, it cannot be completely built.

Autumn is also the season for food storage. In order to avoid the problem of food storage from greatly affecting the construction of the wall, Han Cheng took advantage of the hot weather and dried some fish in the sun.

The place specially used to store food in the tribe was circled by thirteen large tanks. In the circled space, under the guidance of Han Cheng, a layer of mud embryos that had been made first and dried in the shade was spread. The mud embryo was covered with a layer of broken animal skins, and on top of the animal skins was a thick layer of hay.

This is the place where the sun-dried fish is placed.

With these three layers of protection, it will not be so easy for the tide to lift the dried fish from the ground!

As for the empty tanks around them, they are also used to store food.

The bottom of these cylinders is also cushioned with adobe.

Storing food in this way can not only play a good moisture-proof effect, but also save a lot of space.

After he didn't have to worry about food every day, the wall planned by Han Cheng was also put on the agenda.

Han Cheng didn't want to make the wall smaller, because after building the wall, he wanted to build a house inside the wall, build some pens for raising livestock, and at the same time leave enough places for the people in the tribe to rest and play.

It is precisely because the wall is not easy to build that Han Cheng wants to build it well. Otherwise, he has spent a lot of energy now, but he will not be able to keep up with the situation in a few years. If he pushes it to re-expand, it will be a big loss up!

He has been wandering outside the tribe for the past two days. Under the premise of taking care of the terrain, he can basically build a wall that is 300 meters wide from north to south and 500 meters long from east to west.

Because the northernmost side of the wall is the mountain wall where the tribal cave is located, the mountain wall on this side is high enough, so there is no need to build a wall.

In other words, only two walls of 300 meters and one wall of 500 meters need to be built to enclose a sufficient safe space for the tribe!
