Ancient wasteland

The hunting team has new weapons, and the weapons are still in the proficiency period. Among the prey hunted, the number of birds is obviously much more than before.

It is estimated that he was holding a bow and arrow in his hand, and wanted to shoot down when he saw something flying in the sky with wings.

I couldn't deal with you before, but now that I have a bow, I can't deal with you? !snort!

Jing Que looked at the large pile of birds piled up on the tribal square, smiled slightly, and picked from them.

I found several large white birds similar to swans, and tried to poke their tail feathers.

The length is long enough, the hardness is hard enough, and there are enough spaces in the middle. Although Jing Que has only seen text descriptions, he can guess.

The feathers like this should be enough to make a quill. Before dividing the meat, the feathers should be removed first, and all the tail feathers should be collected.

After he took it back to the cave, he studied how to make a quill, and Ye silently helped him collect the feathers.

After cleaning everything, put it in a bag before handing it to him.

Jing Zhu thanked him with a smile, "Thank you, let's go back to make stewed chicken with mushrooms tonight, how about it?"

Ye nodded with a sullen expression, but said nothing.

He has a calm personality and has always been quiet. It is normal not to get a response. Anyway, everyone in the tribe is not picky eaters, and they can decide what to eat in the cave!

Without thinking too much, he returned to the sacrificial cave with the goose feathers, put down the goose feathers and turned around to deal with the assigned birds.

These big birds look a bit like pheasants, but they are bigger and more like geese, and each weighs more than ten kilograms.

There are a total of four Jingzhu and Ye, plus the [-] catties of meat given to the priests, they will definitely not be eaten after they are all cooked, so they can be separated for storage.

This is the model in the tribe now. The food distributed is estimated to be enough to eat, and the rest is marinated into bacon and stored for later.

Jing Que picked two incomplete ones and prepared to chop them into chunks and stew them. The rest were prepared to be marinated and made into bacon. He looked at the wild man who was grinding arrowheads beside him.

Picking up two large geese that had shed their feathers and were relatively intact, he asked directly, "Ye, do you need me to store your meat for you?"

Ye raised his head from the green branches all over the ground, looked at him silently, then the corners of his lips curled up slightly, and he was visibly happy.

Nodding slightly, "Okay."

Jing Que is a little strange, isn't he just asking if he needs to help him marinate meat? !

But Ye clearly has a temperament that can't be idle, laziness can't happen to Ye, he can't figure it out, so he just doesn't want to.

Turning around, he was busy marinating the bacon, soaking the freshly taken out dried shiitake mushrooms and waiting to stew the chicken. His movements have become more and more serious these days.

Relying on the fact that the priests in the cave love to pretend to be deaf and dumb, Ye Ye is taciturn and doesn't like to talk, and all kinds of delicious food are moved to his table.

Dried shiitake mushrooms are also obtained from the medicinal material library, and they are auxiliary materials for making Xiaoshi pills.

Jing Yu thought that Xiaoshi pills would be rarely used in the future, and there happened to be so much chicken, so he dug it out and soaked it for stewed chicken with mushrooms. It must be delicious!

Seeing him busily processing the food, Ye put down the arrowhead that had just been cut into shape and hadn't been polished, stood up and strode towards him.

Looking at him quietly, Jing Que was busy turning the bacon, when someone blocked the light suddenly, he raised his head and saw Shi Ye, "What are you doing?"

Ye originally wanted to come over to help, but he suddenly raised his head, and in the slightly dim light, everything around him was blurred, except Jing Que's face was so white that it seemed to be glowing.

Especially with blue eyes filled with mist, Ye Ye was suddenly stunned, and just stood there blankly, forgetting what he wanted to say.

Jing Que frowned, seeing him standing like a wall, completely blocking the entrance of the cave and the light from the oil lamp, "What the hell do you want?!"

It's okay to run over to block his light. You haven't had dinner yet, so you're just holding on? !

Ye Zai remained silent for a long while, before choking out a sentence, "Jing, you are so pretty."

Jing Zhuo, "..."

Being praised so suddenly, Jing Que was slightly stunned, and then smiled at Ye Ye, "Okay, I know, you look good too, is there anything else?"

Seeing Ye still in a daze, Jing Que couldn't bear to be angry with him when he thought that he was only fifteen or sixteen years old, and pointed to the big goose that was about to be stewed next to him.

He motioned for Ye to go over, "It's okay, just cut the meat into pieces, and I'll stew the meat later."

Ye felt that there was something wrong with his tone, like the tone of Shan talking to Yun, but unfortunately he couldn't figure out what was wrong, so he could only obediently walked to the side to chop the meat.

Chop the big goose into pieces, and the bacon was just finished marinating, so I walked over and passed the meat pieces in boiling water, skimmed off the blood foam, and put them into the pot.

Throw in the sliced ​​ginger and a few prickly ash into the pot, think about it for a while, throw in two dried peppers, cover the clay pot, and simmer on high heat.

Ye Ye was unwilling to go back to do his own thing after helping, so he watched Jing Que stew the meat and was free before talking to Jing Que, "Jing, the shoes Yu wore..."

Jing Que added fire to the bottom of the pot, looked up at him, "Do you want it?"

Ye Ye quickly nodded, "Yeah!"

Jing Que chuckled, and said that Ye Ye was hesitant and hesitant today, and that his relationship was to want boots, "If you want it, just say it.

Why are you hesitating like this, making me think you have something important to tell me, and worrying for a long time in vain, the fish are boots.

Boots are different from shoes. She wears baaa animal skins, which are not suitable for you. Your hunting sports are very intensive, so you need cowhide.

Cowhide or other hard skin, you belong to the hunting team, you should know which kind of animal skin is hard and resilient, get the skin back and I will make it for you. "

Hearing that Jing Que promised to make him the kind of boots worn by fish, Ye was very happy, and quickly selected several kinds of hard-skinned beasts in his mind.

Waiting for the hunting encounter to catch it back, let Ye make boots for him.

Then he frowned slightly in doubt, "If I want to tell you, will you agree?"

Jing Zhuo, "..."

Why did it come out of your mouth wrong?

He looked at Ye with suspicion, and saw Ye looked at him with a calm expression and doubts on his face, he was still that simple child.

The secret channel is that he thinks too much. For a simple and honest primitive like Ye, how can he suspect that Ye is driving? !

It seems that there are too many jokes in his mind, and everyone feels something is wrong.

Press down the doubt in my heart, think for a while, "Whether I agree or not, anyway, if you have something you want, you have to say it.

Otherwise, you will be bored in your heart, I am not a parasite in your stomach, how do you know what you are thinking all day long?do you know. "

Ye nodded to show that he understood, and Jing Zhu was very relieved, "Okay, you go and continue to peel your arrowheads, and wait until I put the mushrooms into the pot to stew."

After the clay pot is covered, it feels a bit like a casserole and does not waste water. Jing Zhuo puts all the ingredients in the pot and keeps the fire on.

You can also go to other things, such as threading the ceramic pieces sent by the wild to make jewelry.

There are not many porcelain pieces, and they have been polished to wear holes. Jing Zhu only needs to choose the ones with similar colors and patterns, and put them on.

Jing Que is going to make them into necklaces. After all, wearing bracelets is not convenient for work, and I don't have the habit of piercing my ears yet.

In this kind of primitive tribe who could die from tetanus with a little bit of skin damage, it was impossible for him to make earrings pierced for fear of being spit on.

The rope used to make the necklace made Jing Zhu a little embarrassed. The thread from the continuous leaves can be woven into a rope, but the color is not good-looking, a bit withered yellow.

These tiles are a bit like the national style of blue and white porcelain. Jing Que suddenly felt that the withered yellow rope was not suitable for his tiles, and remained silent for a while.

Just about to put it away and fix it later, Ye stretched out a hand in front of him, "Can you see if this works?"

Jing Que looked at the radiant long silver thread in his hand, received it in great surprise, and took a closer look at it under the light. The more you look at it, the more suitable it is.

The color is very beautiful, with a faint silver light, and it is full of toughness, which is stronger than the veins of continuous leaves, and the stalks are not broken!

The length of these threads is about half a meter, which is very suitable for weaving ropes or directly wearing necklaces. "Where did this thread come from? Is there any more?"

Ye slightly embarrassed, "This is the hair I shed... I think you like it, so I will collect them all. For the time being, there are only these."

As he spoke, a little blush floated on his cheeks, but the light was too dim, Jing Que couldn't see it, he just held the silver thread in a daze.

Then he laughed softly, grabbed the silver thread in his hand, and comforted Ye with a smile, "It's okay, it's normal for animals to moult during the water season and wind season.

They will grow back after falling, don't be afraid that you won't be completely naked, if you think it doesn't look good, you can change the animal shape first. "

Anyway, their tribe lives in the mountains, and the weather is suitable and food is sufficient during the water season. Even if the wild is humanoid, there is no such thing as no prey.

Ye nodded, "Okay."

Jing Que continued to wear the necklace, a beautiful and exquisite porcelain pendant, paired with a thin silver string that glowed with light, it was so beautiful that people couldn't take their eyes off it.

He thought it was very beautiful, and when he got it from the Dahe Tribe, he would definitely be able to exchange it for many things, preferably enough salt stones.

...They can purify the salt, no matter how many salt stones they exchange, they can bring it back.

At night, in the sacrificial cave, Jing Que ate the stewed chicken with mushrooms that he had dreamed of, and was full of happiness. "It would be great if I could eat it every day."

Ye looked at him from the side, "I'll catch you tomorrow."

Jing Que smiled, "Just kidding, I won't get tired of eating this every day, and besides, I can cook other meats as well."

Ye Congshan followed suit and praised, "Well, you are the best."

Jing Que looked at him suspiciously, "...do you have anything else you want? Why do you suddenly have so many words?!"

Ye Bian returned to silence, sat down beside the oil lamp with his own dagger, and continued to cut the arrowhead, leaving Jing Que confused and confused.

... This child, could it be puberty? !

The fish quickly found the ramie that Jingzhu wanted. It was right by the lake, reeds and various weeds grew by the water, and there was a large piece of ramie not far from the shore.

This kind of plant is naturally defensive, and the quack beasts in the lake keep a respectful distance from that area. Jing Que saw that it was indeed the ramie he was looking for.

And because no one has ever collected them, and they are all perennial, we arranged for people to cut them all back, soak them in water, and prepare to extract fibers.

Ramie is a common hemp material in ancient times, which is more common than flax and cotton. Its skin itself is composed of long fibers and can be easily extracted.

The steps are simple, break the ramie stalks into pieces and soak them in water, wait for the ramie stalks to be washed away and only keep the fibers of the outer skin, or just peel off the skin.

Jing Que was eager to use hemp thread, so he peeled the skin directly. Put the peeled skin in water to rinse and dry, and then hemp fiber could be obtained.

The ramie around their tribal lakes has a natural hemp fiber that is very light off-white, close to beige, which is white in the eyes of the tribal people.

When the bunches of hemp were dragged out of the stream, the fish couldn't help but walk over and touch the white hemp, "Jing, it's so white.

The hemp you mentioned is intended to be used for something, and I will help you make it tonight! "

Since she put on the boots, she no longer felt pain in her feet when she ran all over the mountains and plains. She felt that the boots were really good, and she wanted to make new things when she saw them.

She just wanted to see what was made, it must be a good thing she had never seen before, she wanted to be the first to see it!

Jing Que didn't refuse, and walked towards the entrance of his cave with a bundle of dried hemp next to him, "Come on, I'll teach you how to twist hemp rope and twine."

Yu happily followed him.

The hemp thread is easy to twist, because the hemp fiber itself is very long. This batch of ramie is of good quality, and the fibers are almost [-] to [-] centimeters long.

The shortest is about [-] centimeters. Jing Que holds two strands of hemp fiber in his palm and rubs them gently to form hemp thread.

When the fiber is used up, add a new hemp, and repeat the rubbing like this, and the thread can be as long as you want.

After he demonstrated to the fish, he handed the half twisted hemp thread to the fish. The fish had a strong hands-on ability, but was a little fussy at first.

After a little getting used to the movement, the speed of twisting the thread is faster than that of Jingzhu.

Jing Que smiled slightly, and it turned out that women were still knitting threads and weaving, and their talent points were much higher, so they were very suitable for this job.

He wrapped the thread from the fish into a thread ball, and then took it from the thread ball when he needed it, so that it was not easy to mess up.

Watching the fish twisting the twine seriously, Jing Que walked to the pile of wood next to him, holding a piece of wood in his hand, and began to think about making a spinning machine.

For Jing Que, looms are simpler. He once followed him to a textile school to visit and saw old-fashioned looms.

Knowing the principle, it is relatively simple to do, but unfortunately, the school has fully popularized chemical spinning in workshops, and I have not seen what the spinning machine looks like!

I just know a little bit about the principle. It is probably a spinning wheel in the shape of a small windmill. The fibers are twisted into threads by hand and then wound on it.

After much thought and meditation, Jing Que made a model and tried it out with the hemp fiber, and it turned out to be okay...

Maybe because the hemp fiber itself is relatively hard, long and tough, he tried spinning the hemp fiber into a thin thread, but it didn't break.

Although it is a little uneven in thickness, but he is not a novice, just practice more, well, he doesn't want to practice this.

Jing Que thought about it for a while, and walked towards the big cave with the spinning wheel in his arms. The old people were leaning against the entrance of the cave and polishing straight wooden arrows with the help of natural light.

Seeing Jing Que approaching, his wrinkled face burst into smiles, and he greeted him warmly, "Jing, you are here."

"Jing, look at the arrows I grind, whether they are up to standard."

"Jing I sharpened the knife for you, don't forget to take it back later."

After Jing Que came to the tribe, they were busier than in previous years. Not only did they have to polish stone tools, but they also had to help in various ways in the tribe and in the fields.

The more work they do, the more tired they will be, but they are very happy, not only because they can help the tribe, but also because the old people have a deep affection for the tribe.

There is also more and more food stored in their caves. Looking at those bacon and quack eggs, I have the confidence to survive the cold season!

Seeing him coming with a strange thing in his arms, the two old men at the entrance of the cave scrambled to use it, "What is this scene, use it for me, and I promise it will do well!"
