Farming in the wild, the leader's wife is hanging up again!

Chapter 20 Oh, it's so beautiful

After listening to this, Qingti's mother thought for a moment and kept nodding her head: "It seems so, the girl knows so much!" After saying that, she gave her thumbs up. Of course she learned it from Chu Yao!
Chu Yao felt that although Qingti's mother was in her 40s, she still wanted to have a job.

The life expectancy of people at this time is generally very short, and there is no way to compare it with the era before Chu Yao.

Usually people can only live to be more than 30 years old, and many of them die young due to natural disasters, man-made disasters, or illness.

This is also the reason why the population of the tribe has never been prosperous, and they have always wanted more women to have more babies.

Old people like Qingti's mother can't go to the mountains, and it's rare to go to pick, let alone participate in hunting, so they can only wait at home to die.For Chu Yao, this is a very cruel thing.

But she also understands that this era is so.

She thought that there were several older people in the clan, all over 35 years old.If possible, can these elderly people be organized to do something within their capabilities at home?

In this way, young people who are hunting and picking outside can also relax.

In the words of the era when Chu Yao came here, it is to let these old people "use their residual heat."

Thinking of this, Chu Yao asked Qingti's grandma: "Grandma, you said I called all the old people in the clan and asked them to work here, how about making porcelain pots?"

"Girl, it would be great if you do this." Qingti's mother once again showed surprise on her face.

There are about a dozen elderly people over the age of 35 in the clan, and they usually gather together to bask in the sun. Like Aunt Qingti, they are all waiting for the young people to bring some food back. The state of waiting to die.

If these people could be given jobs, at least they would not have to worry about their future livelihood.

As he said so, Sui Ye returned from hunting with his tribe.I saw blood splattered on his body and head. He was a little tired, but he was in good condition. He put down his prey and came to see Chu Yao.

Seeing the blood on Sui Ye's body, Chu Yao asked with concern, "Are you injured?"

Sui Ye grinned: "No, it's from a wild beast. Madam, the stone spear tip you made really works. I hunted down a big bear today."

It turned out that Suiye and the men had gone a little further today, and the group broke into the territory of a big bear. The big bear smelled the scent of a stranger and immediately rushed forward desperately.

The big bear is very ferocious, and the people of the clan usually dare not fight it, but today, under the leadership of Sui Ye, and everyone is well prepared, a dozen or so people hold sharp spears and fight the big bear.

Unexpectedly, the big bear's skin was rough and fleshy, and the sharp spears that people used to grind wood couldn't pierce its thick skin. Instead, it made the big bear even more angry, and rushed towards the people with a roar.

At the critical moment, Sui Ye jumped up, used Chu Yao to polish a spear with a stone spear tip, and stabbed it into Big Bear's mouth, killing Big Bear, and the blood spattered from Big Bear's wound also sprayed him all over.

Hearing everyone's chatter, Chu Yao was so moved that she couldn't help but take a deep look at Sui Ye.

Is this my future man? He's really brave, and he's also very good-looking.

She pulled Sui Ye: "Come here, I'll wash you up."

Suiye, who usually looked majestic in front of the tribe, was as obedient as a child at this time. He leaned down obediently and let Chu Yao water him to wash away the blood on his face and the exposed skin.

After Suiye washed it, he stood up straight, looked at the earthen pots and mud made by Chu Yao and Aunt Qingti covered with thatch, and asked curiously: "What is this?"

When everyone saw a pile of clay pots, they also gathered closer, staring at this novel thing with sparkling eyes.

Chu Yao smiled sweetly, pulled the thatch away, and let Suiye look at the earthen jars: "This is the earthenware jar I made. After it's done, you can use them to hold salt or food."

Suiye's eyes widened with an expression of surprise: "Madam, you are so smart. This kind of earthen jar is better than the stone jar at first glance."

It turns out that in the past, whether it was the Sui tribe or other tribes, stone jars were used to store salt.Stone jars are difficult to polish and are heavy. For example, sometimes it takes more than half of the people to carry the salt jar back and forth.It takes a lot of energy.

Moreover, there is another big problem with stone pots, which is easy to get damp.The salt that was originally dry is often turned into a watery paste because it is stored in stone jars.It makes everyone miserable, but in this era, there is nothing more convenient than stone jars.

"Suiye, I have an idea to gather the old people in the village and ask them to follow me to make this kind of earthen pots. I don't know what you think." Chu Yao asked, telling Suiye her previous thoughts. .

Of course Sui Ye nodded repeatedly: "Madam, this is a good idea." As the patriarch, he has always been worried about the elderly in the village.

These people are old and basically waiting to die, and the food in the clan is already insufficient, and these old people still have to occupy food.This situation has caused dissatisfaction among many clansmen, who often criticize behind their backs.

Moreover, Sui Ye knew that in some ethnic groups, after their elders could not give birth, they would be directly carried by people and thrown into the wilderness, leaving him to fend for himself.It's just that the Sui people are stronger than other races in this regard, so he strictly ordered the people not to abandon the old man.

If Chu Yao did this, it would be equivalent to finding a job for the old people, and there would be no need to worry about the source of food for the old people in the future.

Not only Sui Ye, but also the rest of the young people became excited when they heard what Chu Yao said.Especially those with elderly people at home. In this era, the elderly are far from the era where they are generally respected, so those with elderly people at home bear a great burden.

At this time, someone ran home immediately, and called the old people who were still able to walk around at home and had certain mobility.

Seeing that everyone was very interested, Chu Yao began to teach the old people how to mix mud, how to make adobe, and how to slowly process it into a pot shape step by step in front of everyone.

The old people have experienced a lot of things when they were young, and they learned manual work very quickly. After a while, four or five old people were able to operate independently.

Watching the old people working on the sidelines, Chu Yao also felt very interested. She found a thin wooden stick and slowly started painting on some of the earthen pots that were ready but not yet dry.

"Ma'am, what are you doing?" Sui Ye asked in surprise from the side.

"Look, what is this?" Chu Yao picked up a painted earthen pot and showed it to Suiye.

Sui Ye took it, and it turned out that what Chu Yao had painted on the earthen jar were blossoming flowers.

"Ah, it's so beautiful!" Everyone held earthen pots and passed them to each other, admiring.

For the first time, they discovered that it was possible to draw pictures on clay pots like this.
