month said.

Xia He rubbed his forehead and said helplessly, "Okay, I'll help you five kitchen knives overnight. I'm lucky that I can recover without falling off. How dare you say that?" If all the knives belonged to him alone Hit, maybe it has really fallen off.

As soon as these words were said, those dinosaurs who just wanted to continue breathing fire could be calmed down.

"Ah...uh, He, is it so hard to forge an iron knife?" Ye has become guilty again and said, after sleeping for two nights and one day before recovering, it turns out that forging iron is not an easy task.

"Hehe, it's okay, I'm already on the mend." Xia He accepts everything according to the order. Some things must be done in a flexible way to survive in this world, otherwise the weak will only be eaten to death. There is no way to mix it up.Although Ye and the others didn't have that thought, they had to let them know that Xia He was not omnipotent.

Xia He ignored the embarrassing people, turned to Chi and said, "Chi, give them those five kitchen knives."

Ye and the others looked at the way they wanted to take the kitchen knife but didn't dare to take it, making Xia He secretly reflect on whether he had said too much, after all, people in primitive society don't have such crooked thoughts.

"Ye take it, I may have said something harsh just now, I apologize."

Chi also helped and said, "Yes, Ye, He really said that because he really regarded you as friends."

"Oh, no, I think we are sorry for you, not you for us." Ye hurriedly clarified.

"Yes, yes, we are just guilty, nothing else." Yue and the other three also said.

Xia He also breathed a sigh of relief: "If you have nothing else to do, put away the knife quickly. I will definitely do what I said I would fight for you." As he spoke, he put the kitchen knife on their hands involuntarily, and said, "This kitchen knife When you go back, you have to sharpen it again to make it sharper. Be careful, the kitchen knife can kill wild animals and it can kill you.”

After hearing this, Yue held it carefully and stopped messing around, "He, you still have to teach us how to use this knife."

"Well, I will teach you how to use it later. Now you have to find a piece of wood and insert it into the handle of the knife. It is best to pin the piece of wood round, so that it will be more convenient to use."

After they went to find the wooden blocks, Xia He and Chi Ye pressed wooden handles on their iron implements.

"He, you are so powerful, you can do everything. Hehe." Chi Bian said while inserting the piece of wood that was cut off to the length of a palm into the handle of the iron handle.

"In our place, as long as you have money, you don't need to do these things yourself." Of course, Xia He is a person without money, and he can spend very little money to buy them if he can do it himself.

"What is money?" Chi was no stranger to things that He's tribe didn't know.

"Money is something you can exchange for your favorite items... just like a stone, you can exchange what you want if you have this stone." Of course, it depends on how big the 'stone' is.

"Hey, your tribe is so nice, even stones can be exchanged for items."

Xia He was still thinking about whether this guy was talking about praise or derogation, so he rushed over with a few clansmen.It's really lively this morning, Xia He said secretly in his heart.

"He, come here and see if this is salt." In fact, Meng came over yesterday, but was stopped by Chi, who said that Xia He was still resting, and he would not be able to find him until he woke up.So this morning after Ye went out, he knew that the river had risen before he returned, so he asked a few orcs to take the salt they picked up and walked to Chi's cave.

Salt?Xiahe, who has not eaten salt for a few days, really misses it. The taste of grilled meat is different without salt.Especially green vegetables, it is even worse without salt.Mi's words have long since disappeared. Xia He has been eating barbecue these days, and Xia He feels that he is surrounded by oil from the inside out.

Looking at the salt wrapped in big leaves by Meng and other orcs, some with sand grains and some with lumps of salt, they tasted the salt, and after confirming that it tasted like salt, their eyes widened.He asked in surprise, "Where did you find this salt? How much is there?"

With a fierce look on He's face, he knew that they had really found the salt.Pulling out a smile that is not easy to show usually, "On the ground, it is far away from the tribe. Well, it is about this big." He gestured fiercely on the ground, and there was about [-] square meters of salt land. "And some salt in lumps like rocks."

"Meng, this is indeed salt." He said and held the salt in Meng's hand to himself.The other clansmen shouted happily after hearing this.

"Wait a minute, don't be too happy, no matter how much salt there is, we will run out of it one day, and you have to use it properly."

Zhong from the tribe laughed and said, "He, I am Zhong from the tribe. Can you tell me how we should use the salt land correctly? And how much salt should we put in the barbecue?"

"Cough, cough." Xia He pretended to cough, and several big and three thick orcs listened to him, what a sense of accomplishment. "Maybe you are too excited to think that the salt field we discovered is not very big, and it is impossible for us to mine it without wanton. What we have to do is to keep it secret first, of course for other tribes People’s secrecy. Then when we collect salt, we need to use it for several months or even longer at one time, because if we go frequently, it will inevitably attract the attention of other tribes. Finally, as for how much salt to put in the meat, I will call at noon Chi will teach you guys." Chi passed by Xia He's training, and the grilled meat is also very colorful.

He nodded fiercely and said, "Let's discuss it with the patriarch and find someone to pick salt tomorrow."

One of the clansmen was Cang, and Cang said doubtfully: "We can only wrap it in big leaves when we go to collect salt. If we want to collect enough salt for several months, we will have to travel many times."

The problem Cang said also stopped Meng and other tribesmen. Indeed, the ground salt was not close to the tribe, and a large group of people went to pick it, and the back and forth would always attract the attention of other tribes.

Xia He asked lightly: "Haven't you guys invented baskets yet?"

So everyone looked at Xiahe, including those females who came back from looking for the wooden block.Facing the surprised eyes of the clansmen, Xia He expressed his composure. "Even if I want to teach you, it will take a few days."

After the matter of salt is settled, Xiahe will invest in the iron knife again, and teach Ye and the others how to use and maintain the kitchen knife.

Cang held his partner's kitchen knife and looked at it with eager eyes.Seeing the situation, Xin snatched the kitchen knife back into his hand, he also likes this picker knife. "Cang, the river said that it will be more useful after grinding."

Zhong saw the kitchen knife in Ye's hands and strongly expressed that he wanted He to make one for him, and other tribesmen also expressed their desire for one.

Xia He knows that the market for knives has opened up now, "Yes, the patriarch should have told you that you need to exchange meat. Of course, I will see how much meat you want to know if it is worth it." His request did not distribute the meat to their family, and he didn't need to feel uneasy about taking the meat from the family.A knife is not easy to hit, and a lot of food is needed to supplement Chi.

After the group of people dispersed, Xia He walked in the open space not far from the cave, gesticulating this and that, causing Chi to ask curiously: "He, what are you painting? Or are you looking for something?"

Xia He lowered his head and continued gesturing on the ground without looking at him, "Well, I am gesturing how big the house should be, how many rooms should be built, and which side should the door face..." This grassland is considered flat and vast.Xia He plans to build a backyard in the direction of his kiln, and the backyard must be wide. He will raise some rabbits or other gentle animals.In this way, even if no one came to exchange things, he would still have meat to eat.

Because the backyard was planned to be widened, the main house was already closer to the river, so the front yard could not be done, but Xiahe put the place that should be the front yard on the side.Finally, it was planned that the house faces the river, the backyard faces the cave, and the right side is fenced for a vegetable garden.

As for the materials used to build the house, Xia He has already thought about it. You must know that he grew up in a farming village, and building a house out of bricks and tiles is really hard for him.Although there are no bricks here, Xiahe has the idea of ​​building stones on a nearby hill.In fact, he also thought about making mud bricks by himself before building. It is very simple and relatively easy to make mud bricks, but it will take more than ten days to cool them before they can be used. He can't wait so long.

19. Building a house (6)...

After Chi taught the tribe how to eat with salt, he took the barbecue meat that the tribe gave as a thank you, Chi thought it over and accepted it.The river hadn't eaten it yet, so he took it back and gave it to the river to eat.

After Xia He ate the meat that Chi brought back, he picked up a freshly sharpened kitchen knife and fruit knife, called Shang Chi, and went to the back mountain. "Let's go, Chi, let's go up the mountain. Take the knife."

"He, where are we going?" He asked while taking the two iron knives.

"Go to the fruit grove. Hehe, of course I didn't pick spring fruits on purpose. There are still so many at home." Ye and the others brought spring fruits or other unknown fruits every time they came, so they didn't need to pick them at all. "Isn't there a mountain on the way out of the fruit forest? There are vines on the mountain and nearby trees."

"Oh, you mean the vines that climb up the trees. There are many places with these vines. But what is the river used for?"

"Weaving baskets, otherwise you can't hold much with big leaves, and it's easy to rot. Let's cut two big handfuls and go back to make them, teach them the leaves, and then let them find rattan weaves by themselves." Orcs eat a lot, and a basket of Salt is enough for them to last half a year.

When I arrived at the destination, I found that there were more types of vines than I thought. Of course, they couldn't be named. Some familiar names slipped into my mouth but I couldn't say them.

Xiahe is no stranger to weaving baskets, and used to do a lot at home.Weaving vegetable baskets with rattan or bamboo, wicker baskets or rattan chairs, and vegetable covers for the dining table are all made by ourselves.Because vines are extremely flexible and have many uses, no one in the village wants to spend money on something that can be made easily.
