Early the next morning, Qingshan stood on the shore, waiting for Yun Qing and the others to disembark.
He was so excited that he couldn't sleep last night. He just looked forward to the daybreak and he could learn to make a fire bed immediately.
When the sky was slightly bright, Qingshan vacated the house at home, prepared the soil and stones needed for the fire pit, etc., and made all preparations, just waiting for people to come.
Lin Yan and the others had dinner, and when they got off the boat, they saw Qingshan, who had been waiting for a long time. It was quite surprising that he could come in person.
In the wilderness tribe, the leader Yuan Yu had only met twice before, and Yuan Qing took them around both times.
As the leader of a large tribe with ten thousand people, Qingshan personally entertained them. Lin Yan felt that he was easy to get along with and a good partner.
As soon as he saw people disembarking from the boat, Qingshan immediately greeted them and said happily: "Have you eaten yet? I have prepared food at home. Let's go and eat some first."
Shuisheng handed a steamed bun and pancake to Qingshan and said with a smile: "We have eaten. Yesterday, Chief Qingshan entertained us warmly. These are some of the food we prepared, steamed buns and pancakes. Please try ours." thing."
Looking at the steamed buns and pancakes in front of him, surprise flashed in Qingshan's eyes. He took them with a smile, "This is unique to you, right? It's the first time I've seen it. Our Qingyan tribe all eats meat. These steamed buns and pancakes How is it made and what is it made of?”
"It's made of flour, and it's very simple to make. Chief Qingshan can go to the ship to see it with his own eyes when he's free."
Hearing this, Qingshan was overjoyed. It would be best if he could go to the boat to see it. After seeing the big ship yesterday, he felt itchy. He hadn't eaten breakfast yet, so he immediately stuffed the bun into his mouth and chewed it.
It tastes completely different from meat. It has no taste, but it is soft and chewy. I finished the steamed bun in a few bites. Qingshan took a bite of the pancake and there was filling inside.
It's made with green onions and minced meat. Qingshan praised: "This is delicious. Besides meat, what else is there? It tastes good."
"It's scallions, a vegetable in our Sun City." Shuisheng explained with a smile. He pointed at Shi Zhi, "This is Shi Zhi. I saw it yesterday. He will teach you how to make a fire bed."
Seeing that Shi Zhi was still a child, Qingshan was a little hesitant. There were so many people, why should a child come?
Shuisheng pointed to two more people, "This is Lan Meng and Huo Qiang. They will teach you together with Shi Zhi."
Seeing the two adults, Qingshan was relieved and said, "Okay, let's go now."
Shuisheng said: "No hurry, Chief Qingshan, we want to take a tour of the Qingyan tribe to see how you live. Please send someone to guide us."
Qingshan agreed, "No problem. Let's go to the tribe first, and I'll find someone."
The group of people went to Qingshan's house first. Ten minutes later, Qingshan brought five people over. Among them, a man and a woman named Qingmu and Qinghua were the guides for Lin Yan and the others. The rest stayed to learn how to make a fire bed.
Qingshan also stayed. He felt that the fire kang was the most important. It was a craft and a good thing to withstand the severe cold. It was very important and he had to learn it himself.
Yuan Qing and Yuan He also stayed to study together.
Aoki and Qinghua are both young adults in their twenties. They are both warm and hospitable people, and they are very cheerful and generous when they speak.
It can be seen that they have the same temperament as Qingshan and are the same type of people.
Qinghua asked first: "What do you want to see?"
Shui Sheng said: "Let's take a casual look in your tribe first. We are very curious about how your people live."
"Okay, let's go from here. If we walk along this road, we can cover most of the tribe." Qinghua pointed in the direction.
Along the way, Shui Sheng asked questions and kept talking.
Lin Yan followed Shui Sheng, looking everywhere. In fact, the houses and courtyards are similar to those of wilderness tribes. The only difference is the people.
The people of the Qingyan tribe were all smiling when they saw them and welcomed their arrival.
Although they live in poverty, the people of the Qingyan tribe have a positive heart and their overall appearance is optimistic, making people feel their enthusiasm.
In comparison, the people of the wilderness tribe are dull. They are too busy surviving to care about anything else. They are also mostly wary and wary of outsiders.
After walking for more than an hour and looking around the Qingyan tribe, Shuisheng proposed that he want to see where the mineral salt is produced. They were just curious about what the mineral salt looked like.
Qinghua smiled and refused: "Salt is the lifeblood of our tribe. No one else can go except the salt miners."
Shui Sheng's smile remained unchanged, "In that case, forget it. We were just curious and didn't know the rules of your tribe, so we offended you."
Qinghua shook his head and said: "It's okay. I heard that you want to buy mineral salt. What do you want to exchange for it?"
"This has not been discussed with Chief Qingshan yet."
Aoki pointed at the bow and arrow behind Lan Yue and the knife at the side of his waist, "Your knives and arrows are very good. They look very sharp. Can I touch them?"
Qinghua had also noticed it a long time ago, but she never found a chance to bring it up. She looked at them expectantly, hoping to try it with her own hands.
Lan Yue glanced at Yun Qing, and after seeing her nod, she took off the knife and bow and gave them to Qingmu and Qinghua respectively.
The two touched it carefully. They knew how to use the knife, but they didn't know how to use the bow.
Lan Yue showed them how to draw a bow and shoot an arrow neatly and crisply. A sparrow on a tree not far away was shot and fell.
This move opened Aoki and Qinghua's eyes. The whole process took less than a minute, how she did it.
"Can I shoot an arrow?" Qinghua's eyes were shining, eager to try.
Seeing Lan Yue's chic and neat look, she was so envious.
Lan Yue pulled out an arrow and handed it to Qing Hua along with the bow.
Qinghua's hands trembled with excitement. She held the bow and arrow, pointed it at the sparrow on another tree, and shot the arrow according to the instructions of Lan Yue.
As a result, the sparrows on the tree were frightened and flew away, and the arrow hit the trunk.
Shuisheng consoled him: "You need to practice more with bows and arrows before you can shoot accurately. It's your first time shooting, and you're already pretty good."
Qinghua was not disappointed either. She couldn't let go of the bow and arrow, and reluctantly returned it to Lan Yue.
Lan Yue quickly ran towards the distance, climbed the tree neatly and retrieved the arrow.
When we returned to Qingshan's house, the fire pit had been prepared and was being filled with firewood.
Qingmu and Qinghua took Qingshan to the corner and talked quietly for a long time while everyone was gathered around the fire bed.
Lin Yan saw everything, and she thought they must be very interested in bows, arrows and knives.
Regardless of whether it was the Qingyan Tribe or the Wilderness Tribe, their weapons were indeed lagging behind and incomparable to those in Sun City. They are very knowledgeable and can see the value of sharp weapons at a glance.
The food of both tribes comes from hunting. There are a large number of wild boars living in the mountains near the Qingyan tribe, which is their food source.
Wild boars are huge and difficult to subdue. Without sharp weapons, the people of the Qingyan tribe hunt in groups and dig traps. This is their hunting method for generations.
