I am a primitive

But looking at these, the female priest showed a smile, obviously very satisfied with this place...
-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------
A tribe that migrated to a new place, after a short rest, quickly began to get busy.
A strong man in the tribe, with a stone ax in his hand, felled trees that were not very tall near the stream.
The stone axes in their hands are different from those of most tribes.
Their stone axes were not tied to wooden sticks with ropes, and they were different from the stone axes of the Qingque tribe who punched holes in the stone axes and then pierced them through wooden handles after Han Cheng arrived.
For their stone axes, an oval hole is first pulled out from one end of the wooden handle, and then the polished stone ax is smashed in, with the small head on top and the wider blade on the bottom, so that the stone can be firmly attached to the wooden handle. tightly bound together,
Moreover, the stone ax will only become stronger with every blow, and will not loosen...
These felled trees were dragged by them to a relatively gentle slope about 500 meters from the creek.
These are great things to use as building materials.
While these strong men were felling trees, those women and children were not idle.
Some of them are looking around for taller hay that has not been retting after a winter, and some of them are breaking off the branches of the trees that were cut down and dragged back by those strong people, and put them together. .
Not all the strong people were cutting down trees, and some people were digging the soil along the circle drawn by the priestess on the gentle slope with the tools in their hands.
They do this kind of thing a lot, so it seems to be a good way to do it online.
When a certain depth has been dug down and it is not easy to dig, someone uses clay pots made by priestesses to bring water from the stream and pour it into these pits.
The person who dug the pit went to one side to dig the rest of the round pits, and waited for the water in the previous pits to seep down, and then came back to continue digging.
After the round pit in the center was dug, someone began to use the broken branches to insert along the edge of the pit, leaving only one place facing the south without inserting branches, which is the position of the door.
After the branches were planted, people continued to fetch water with earthenware pots to reconcile the soil excavated during the previous digging.
Then use your hands to make large pieces and pile them on both sides of the inserted branches. Gradually, a circle of mud walls is piled up.
And because there are branches inside, acting as things like steel bars, the wall piled up with mud is still very strong.
After the mud wall piled up to the chest of the person, it stopped.
Then some people put five or six sticks tied together on top of the round mud wall.
The sticks were not tied side by side in a bundle, but at one end only.
After being placed on a circular mud wall, it is like an open umbrella rib.
After doing this, some women began to take the hay collected before and tie it round and round. When these 'umbrella ribs' were covered with a dense layer of grass, half of them were underground and half were on the ground. and the house was built.
Compared with the Qingque tribe who dug the foundation, then used stones as the foundation, then rammed the earth to form the wall, then erected wooden beams, put rafters, laid fences, put mud, and finally put thatched houses. Compared with the houses built by this tribe Much simpler and faster.
Of course, their houses are far inferior to those of the Qingque tribe in terms of spaciousness and brightness.
After building four such houses in a row, the people of this tribe shifted the focus of their work to cultivating the fields.
This is because although it is autumn at this time, the weather is still very cold, especially at night, so it is necessary to build some houses to live in.
Of course, these four circular houses are not enough for the people in the tribe to live in, but they can barely accommodate minors and some people who are not in good health.
It's just a little crowded when you sleep at night.
The people of this tribe are also very experienced in how to cultivate the fields.
They chose a relatively sunny day, cleared out a gap in the surrounding withered grass, and then set a fire when the new grass sprouts just grew...
The warm sunlight scattered down and shone on the earth. This place, which seemed barren before, gradually became different after having such a group of people.
An elderly priestess, holding a digging tool made of twigs in one hand, walked barefoot on the ashes-filled land.
Playing with her waist, she dug a hole in the ashes-filled ground with the simple tool in her hand, and then pinched three gray-brown fruits from the clay pot beside her with the other hand and placed them in the small hole. into the pit, and step on it with bare feet.
Around her, there are many people who are doing these things. This way of farming without plowing the land can save them a lot of time.
While they were doing these things, most of the men who cleared the land went hunting around under the leadership of the leader.
During this period of time, they haven't gotten much food, and they have been relying on the gray-brown fruit they have stored to satisfy their hunger, and they have consumed a lot of this fruit.
Plant another batch now, and the fruit will become less, and it's time to find food.
The remaining young and strong people continued to build houses there. After all, it is not a good thing to live in a place without shelter from the wind and rain for a long time.
Of course, before continuing to build houses, they first used wooden sticks to build a livestock pen. After all, these things are rare things for their tribe!
The appearance of copper plow deer farming has greatly liberated the productivity of the Qingque tribe, especially when using this farming method on cultivated land, the speed is even faster.
It was precisely because of this that Han Cheng dared to let the members of the trade team go out when the spring plowing was halfway through.
It's not for trading and looting the surrounding tribes, but for the people in the trade team to send some stones back.
These stones are actually limestone.
Limestone has been found in the tribe for a long time, but Han Cheng never let the tribe's people transport it back on a large scale, nor did he burn limestone.
This is because it is not easy to transport stones over long distances. Another reason is that there are not too many places where lime is used in the tribe. When it is useful, the soil cement made of plant ash will pass.
But it’s not going to happen now. With the successful construction of the wall and the end of spring plowing, there will soon be many houses and other things that will not be built, and a lot of lime will be used in it.
(There will be a supplement at [-]:[-] p.m.)
-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------
In addition to this reason, Han Cheng asked the trade team to transport the limestone. Another reason was that as the tribe's land continued to expand, the fertilizer became more precious.
Except for the manure made by retting, these plant ash are the best fertilizer in the tribe, so Han Cheng was a little bit reluctant.
Another reason is that the soil cement made of plant ash is not as effective as the white ash mixed with sand.
The trade team left. Besides food, what they brought most this time were bronze axes, ropes, and sickles.
And different from the road they walked before, this time they first walked down the small river in front of the Qingque tribe for a certain distance, and after meeting a tributary on the south side of the gradually widening small river, they followed this path again. A tributary stream goes all the way south.
This tributary can go all the way to where the limestone exists...
After seeing off the members of the trade team, Han Cheng led the stumbling little pea to the vegetable garden.
"Dad, Daddy..."
