From Chief to Ball

The wood of those people was finished, and they looked at these sticky things curiously, but they were no strangers to them. They boiled pigskin a few times until it ran out of water, and it was also sticky like this.
Chen Jian shared a bit with one of them and said, "I'll give you a tiring job, find a rock and smash this thing into pieces."
There were more than 100 people, and each of them shared a small amount. Several people looked at something that was not as big as a peach, and said with a smile: "What kind of hard work is this?"
But for about two hours, all of them flicked their wrists exhaustedly.In the simple pestle and mortar composed of concave stones and stones, these slimy fish bubbles seem to be getting heavier and heavier.
When it first hit it, it didn't take much effort at all.However, the longer the smashing time, the greater the viscosity of the fish bubbles. Every time, it seems that two stones are glued together. It seems that the arms are on fire, and it seems that the arms are drunk. The thing called vinegar made from apricots, the stone as big as a palm, now weighs more than ten catties.
Some people thought that they could eat the two catties of rice set by Yu Qianer, but this broken stone is now heavier than ten two catties.
Chen Jian looked at the tired and grinning tribesmen, and thought that a good man can't blow a swim bladder, and this thing is getting stickier, and in the future, there will be an extra word to describe people's strength.
It is estimated that the viscosity is about the same. Collect these floats, and everyone's floats are grouped together.
Remove the wood from the large clay pot, fill the small pot with hot water, sit directly in the pot, find a piece of fiber cloth to wrap the swim bladder, put it inside, let two people work together to clamp it with a stick, and wrap the fiber cloth into the water. The gelatin dissolved in boiling water is squeezed into the water.
The cloudy white water looks quite like some kind of indecent liquid, and it also has a strong fishy smell. It is full of color and taste, and it is even more sticky.
The men didn't know what they thought of, staring at the clay pot and laughing there, Chen Jian took out the clay pot speechlessly, thinking that you are laughing fart, I will have to touch it with my hands later!
The frame of the honeycomb has been finished, and every ten people have divided one. Chen Jian got some furs to use as small brushes, dipped some isingas glue on the scraped wood, and stuck them together up and down.
"Can this hold up?"
Chen Jian smiled and said, "Do you think the force you smashed just now is not as heavy as this piece of wood?"
Thinking of the horror of smashing the swim bladder just now, the man subconsciously shook his wrist and stopped asking further questions.
The thick beehives are glued together with fish-maw glue. There are no planes or saws. Many places are uneven and there are gaps everywhere. Some small pieces of wood were found to glue these gaps like patches.
A coffin-like thing nearly one meter long and half a meter wide and high was glued out.The inside is covered with fiber cloth, and two holes are reserved in the front for the bees to come in and out. The top cover is movable and can be removed, which is convenient for checking whether the bees are sick and robbing the food of the bees.
All that remains is to wait a few days for the glue to dry naturally.The boat can stick to it, how about this little beehive?
To put it simply, find a chance to get the wild bees in, cover the lid and sprinkle some wine, so that the bees temporarily lose their pheromone sensitivity. As long as the queen bee is in the hive, the bees will probably make their home here.At that time, the male peaks that only mate and do not work can be crushed to death at any time, and the queen bees that are about to be born can be cut off, so as to maintain the growth of the bee population instead of dividing nests. At least in summer, sufficient honey can be guaranteed.
To be more complicated, make a few frames, draw a few thin threads inside, make wax boards with melted beeswax and paste them in the frames, and fix them with thin threads, and the bees will embroider on the wax boards naturally honeycomb.
When the time comes, take out the honeycomb from the wax board, and use the leather and pottery wheel to drive a simple centrifuge to shake the honey out of the honeycomb like a drying barrel, so that the honeycomb can be reused and the bees can have more time to collect honey Instead of building a house.
Considering the materials needed, it is basically feasible.
The clansmen stared at the beehive and asked, "When will there be honey in it?"
Chen Jian looked at the isinglass which was still wet, and knew that after it dries naturally, it would be firm as if it had grown together, so he said confidently, "The next ten days off."
The clansmen thought about it for a while, and felt that ten days was not long, so they looked at the beehive like a baby, and guessed with each other how it could contain honey.
Chen Jian stared at the isinglass, thinking that there was another simple and easy-to-use thing in the clan.With isinglass, recurve bows, wooden boats, simple furniture, doors, window lattices, wooden barrels... as long as there is enough time, these can appear.
Presumably when he made the first piece of furniture made of isinglass, the clansman's ten-week holiday might have added an interesting "relaxation" to them.
Chapter 3 The Peashooter and Princess Alisa
During these days of waiting for the next ten-day rest, the clansmen are doing as usual, and everything is working as planned in the first ten days.
Every day the land turned up is increasing, and from a distance it looks like a few black snakes rolling on the grass.First there was one, and gradually there were brothers, and finally it became a dense patch.
When eating at noon, the drums of the village will sound, and the people digging in the ground will hear them, talking and walking home with various stone tools.
Everything about the tribe is normal and cannot be normal anymore, but Chen Jian has done two things that are abnormal in the eyes of the tribe in the past few days.
First a little thing, then a big one.
The trivial thing is that one day before dinner, Chen Jian found two bark vines and connected them between the pillars of the two rows of houses.
At first the tribe thought it was used to hang salted fish and bacon, but it was too tall and thin, obviously not.
So I asked Chen Jian, and Chen Jian said he wanted to see these swallows nesting under the eaves stop on those two lines in the evening.
What Chen Jian said always came true. On the day the two ropes were pulled up, the nests of black swallows stood on them and chattered.
The people of the tribe gradually got used to this black bird. Except for the occasional bird droppings on people's heads, there is nothing wrong with it, not to mention a little more vitality. They like this kind of bird that makes people look comfortable. And warned those children not to poke the swallow's nest.
The seven little wolf cubs like these little swallows even more, because there are often swallows that are trying to fly and fall to the ground as their snacks, so they always like to look up at the swallows above their heads.
At this time, Chen Jian was like those wolf cubs, staring at the two ropes above his head in a daze, thinking that it would take thousands of years for the ropes above to turn into copper wires wrapped in insulation.
Many common things are quietly changing people's lives, but people often don't notice it.For example, the swallows who like to stand on the wire, and the whistle-like sound of whining after the north wind blows in winter, that is a unique scale in the electrical age, because of the electric wires, there is the sound of winter wind.
The clansmen looked at Chen Jian in a daze with curiosity, not knowing why these swallows were so attractive to him, and why he was whistling, which sounded like a cold wind.
If this incident was considered strange, what happened the next day was even stranger.
The peach moon is very hot, and the seeds of many plants have matured. Most of the plants here can survive the winter without freezing to death. There are mature plants when there is no need for grass to turn yellow and autumn frost.
Since Chen Jian said to plant, the clansmen felt that they should set aside a day to pick the seeds of those plants.
Chen Jian refused, saying that he would wait for a while to pick.
The clansmen told Chen Jian that after a while, the seeds of those plants would fall to the ground, making them hard to find.
Chen Jian nodded and said that he knew it himself, so he had to wait.
There are a lot of primitive crops that can be used around here, and the weather may still be slightly cold, so there are no plants such as corn, and even if they are redistributed, they must abide by the law of nature.However, there are still wild wheat, sorghum, bean, and pea, and these are all plants that can be cultivated in the future.
It's because these plants can be cultivated in the future, so he doesn't let the people pick them now.
There is only one reason for plants to breed seeds, and that is to reproduce offspring, never for the convenience of people to eat.What is convenient for people to eat is the result of human choice.
Such as wild wheat, normal wild wheat will fall off the ears after maturity, because only in this way can the seeds fall to the ground, germinate and continue the bloodline.
The wheat whose ears do not fall off after maturity is actually a disability caused by a genetic mutation.
Because if the ears of wheat do not fall off, the wheat will germinate on the ears of wheat after it rains, unable to reach the soil, and will eventually die in the sun when they grow teeth.
The problem is that the kind of wild wheat that has no mutation and no disability is not suitable for planting at all. Once the ears of wheat fall off when they are mature, do they let the tribesmen collect wheat grains all over the ground?
And peas, the reason for the pea shooter story is that "normal" peas explode when ripe and pop off like BB bombs.
Only in this way can the children and grandchildren reproduce on the ground, otherwise it will be difficult to dry out the winter if they are trapped in the pods, and they will eventually become moldy and lose their activity in the pods.
The peas that people grow are, from a pea point of view, abnormal peas because they don't pop when they're ripe, so they're easy to harvest.
If the domestication of plants by humans is regarded as a fairy tale, then humans will probably be characters like angels.
Mother Pea has many children, and they will leave their mother's arms when they grow up. There is only one younger brother and sister who is born with a disease. They are born without feet, so they can't leave their mother's arms even when they grow up.
