After a few days of busy work, you can basically guarantee seven or eight kilograms of salt per day. Sometimes because the quality of the salt ore dug out is slightly worse, it may be a little less, but on average it is about this level.
However, compared with cutting salt ore from the cliff, the speed of refining this piece is still slower. Basically, only about half of what everyone knocks down can be processed every day.
In other words, the number of people polishing and refining must be at least twice as many as the number of people digging, so that the seamless connection can be truly achieved and all kinds of manpower can be fully utilized.
However, this time Song Xuan did not rearrange the manpower. Instead, he asked Shi Meng and the others who were free to go around and get more wood. After the existing shed was piled with wood, it was not enough for people to live in it.
So Song Xuan asked them to continue cutting wood and build a few more sheds. It was too hot outside this season. The air in the valley was not as circulated as outside, and without the blockage of the big trees, the sun was shining brightly. Under direct sunlight, it looks even hotter.
Under the sun, everyone has to take a break after working for a short time, especially those who dig ore. They are almost completely exposed to the sun with nothing to block them. So Song Xuan also wanted to take this opportunity to dig around the valley. The areas that may be used later are covered with sheds, so that no matter whether it is hot weather, windy or rainy, it will not be a problem.
At the same time, they were also asked to build a few simple houses, which did not need to be as strict as those in the tribe, as long as they could provide some shelter from wind and rain.
Of course you can live outside in the summer, and it's very cool, but you may not be able to in the future. After all, it may not always be summer every time you come here. With the increasing number of developments, it is possible to send people in autumn or even winter. Came here.
When the weather is cold, just relying on a campfire is not enough. This is not hunting in the wild. You may need to change places at any time. Since you have to work here for a fixed period of time, you still have to pay a little attention to the living conditions.
After ten days of hard work, more than one hundred kilograms of salt was finally extracted. Looking at the two full jars, everyone felt a great sense of accomplishment.
This was the first real large-scale refinement in the tribe, and the process was relatively smooth.
Everyone was full when they came, but now that they are back, apart from weapons and a small number of packages, all they need to take away is these two jars of salt, which seems too relaxed.
Naturally, so many pots and pans were placed directly here. Although they might be picked up by others, they obviously couldn't be carried back and forth. Shi Meng and the others also made some concealment of this valley. Mainly I just used trees to block the gaps in the surrounding forest, making it as difficult as possible for people to walk through.
Generally speaking, when encountering such a very difficult place, Shi Meng and the others would definitely go around it. Only when they encounter a large number of wild beasts would they risk getting in, so they can still have some concealment effect.
Anyway, this place is not too far from the tribe. There are enough manpower behind, and we can even set up a sentry here. The effect was very good when we defended the Karasuba tribe before.
Although it was canceled later, it was also due to lack of manpower, and the possibility of the Black Feather Tribe coming back was not that great for the time being, so Song Xuan and Shi Meng discussed it and decided to return to the tribe first.
After packing up, more than 20 people returned to the tribe carrying the two jars.
After the last meeting, the people in the tribe are not as excited about Yanba as they were at first, but they are still somewhat excited. After all, this is the Tengshe Tribe’s own thing, and they no longer have to take a lot of food to others. Exchanged.
More than 20 people working hard for ten days were enough to consume the salt of the tribe for three to four months. It would have been unimaginable in the past. In the past, such salt could be eaten for at least two to three years, and the Tengshe tribe would definitely It's impossible to be willing to exchange so much food for them. It must be a small exchange every time.
There are advantages to having more manpower, but the consumption of various things will also increase exponentially, especially for people like the Soaring Snake Tribe, which has nearly doubled its number of people in just one year. Some of the original concepts have been lost at this time. It's completely no longer enough.
Fortunately, most of Teng She's things are now in his own hands, so he no longer has to worry about being skinned and choked by others.
The natural gas is not as hot as it was some time ago, but the harvest of the hunting team has not decreased, and because the beasts have gradually become fatter, they bring back more things each time.
The people of Soaring Snake, the captives and the people of the Blackwater Tribe have now basically integrated into a whole, and there are only differences in names. Of course, in terms of overall status, the captives are definitely a little bit behind. Ever since Gong Yi and the other three joined the tribe, Song Xuan had only arranged for four people to hold this kind of ceremony in the past few months.
These people usually perform very well, and play an important role when hunting or looking for things. Two of them were hunting, and the two of them worked together to kill four wolves, although only two of them , but he did not fall behind at all when facing the wolves, and even achieved such a big gain, which was also a very good performance among the hunting team.
Of course, everyone who joins Teng She must start a new family, otherwise Song Xuan is still a little uneasy. There are now several women among the captives who are pregnant with children.
As long as you have children, there will be some concerns even in primitive society. As the captives integrated better and better, Song Xuan also had their tall walls demolished, although they still lived in a semi-crypt. It's a style house, but in other aspects it's not much different from the Tengshe people.
Most of the prisoners, the people from Soaring Snake and Black Water also have a very good impression of them. They work harder and work hard without complaint, so they no longer hate each other like they did before.
It is worth mentioning that the six prisoners assigned to Shuiyun and the others at that time naturally did not have as good a life as Teng She in Heishui, and they also missed the opportunity to be taken back.
Shuiyun also has stricter control over them and treats them completely like slaves. Therefore, although they are under the coercion of force and work very hard, the relationship between the two parties has never been the same. very good.
But after coming to Tengshe, the living conditions were directly improved by several levels, which moved a few people quite a bit, and it didn't take long for Song Xuan to let several people participate in the hunting, as if they were being reused. , a few people worked hard to integrate into Teng She's life rhythm, and even learned Mandarin more actively than Shui Yun and the others. Now among the Black Water Tribe, except for the water wizard who speaks better than others, the following are These few were taken prisoner.
Wulin naturally plays an important role in this. As the first prisoner who came to Soaring Snake, he has completely accepted his fate since the last time the Wuyu Tribe failed to exchange him. It may also be because of his petty revenge. existence, Wu Lin directly regarded this place as his own tribe.
Because he arrived earlier, he already had a good reputation among the prisoners. Although he was not as highly used as Gong Yi and the others, he also acted as an intermediary between the prisoners and Soaring Snake. With him, tasks and information It can also be arranged better.
Song Xuan was thinking of holding a large-scale joining ceremony for the captives in winter, so he put it aside for the time being. Anyway, as of now, more than 90% of the captives have no other thoughts.
Although they have only been in the Soaring Snake Tribe for half a year, since the exchange did not bring them back, most of them have no idea of returning to the Black Feather Tribe, and the life Soaring Snake has given them is quite good. Not bad.
Especially after learning about the power of Soaring Snake's various new weapons, these people also know that even if they go back, it may not be a good thing.
However, there must be some tangles, especially since many people in the Karasuba tribe already have families. Teng She and Karasuba will definitely have battles to fight in the future, and it will be even more difficult for them to choose.
As autumn gradually came, Song Xuan began to collect various seeds again. Although most of the seeds planted this year were useless, there were still a few rapeseed seeds that were fully mature. Song Xuan carefully placed them Packed in a small jar.
Cabbage has also begun to produce seeds. The seeds look similar to rapeseed, but there is still a clear difference between the two plants. Fortunately, the weather is suitable now, and we can still wait until the seeds grow out. If winter comes If so, Song Xuan is really worried that the seeds may not grow.
In order to preserve these seeds, Song Xuan also made a batch of small clay pots made from stone. The smaller ones were only as big as two fists, and the largest ones could hold four or five bowls of water.
After all, these are seeds grown by the tribe themselves, and the number of the first generation is too small. If they are still packed in the previous pottery pots, they will be almost invisible. Song Xuan is also worried that others will accidentally give them to him. It was overturned.
This way, it can be made small enough to be placed directly in his room. At least so far, Song Xuan is the only one in Teng She who has a room by himself.
Although the area is not large, it is more than enough for him to live alone, and he only uses it to sleep and rest every day. Other people in the house will not break in at will, so it is safer to put it here.
