Chapter 28 Switch Concepts
Why is it said that the main purpose this time is to pick wild fruits?
Wang Yang made analysis and judgment. The main problem now is the lack of food after winter.
In this case, how to preserve food is the key.
But it is almost difficult for Wang Yang to store enough food alone, and he needs certain supplementary conditions.
For example, switch the concept of storage.
As we all know, meat can be stored for a long time after being dried, and fruits can also be stored for a long time after being dried. However, these are more troublesome. You must first obtain them, and then make sure that no one eats them...
The easiest way is to get nuts.
Nuts include hard-shelled nuts such as chestnuts, walnuts, etc., which can be stored for a very long time without spoiling.
Wang Yang's idea is to do everything possible to preserve this kind of food.
So he wanted to pick more fruits and let everyone eat the fruits. Then he secretly hid the nuts and took them out when food was scarce.
This is a huge project. It is crazy to think that one person can save food for thirty people.
But it’s impossible not to do it. Only he realizes this.
It was impossible for him to go to the outskirts of the forest. After all, the food there was limited. Even if it was lighted and preserved, it would only be enough to feed a dozen people.
He must go deep into the forest to find more food.
Suddenly, Wang Yang realized a very serious problem.
Except for the most developed humans in postmodern times, in this era, whether they are apes or other animals, the extent of their territory is judged by the abundance of food.
Just like a tiger, it needs a mountain to ensure its food source.
Smilodon needs to defend its own territory so that it can get enough food.
The same goes for apes. In the past, they often lost their lives because they couldn't keep warm in winter, couldn't heal their wounds in time, and had poor equipment.
Therefore, the population has remained at around twenty people.
There is just enough food for them on the outskirts of the forest, so there is no need to risk expanding their territory.
If you want them to expand their territory and enter the depths of the forest, you don't need to make them listen to you. You just need to make them realize that there is not enough food in their territory.
"This is much simpler than a miracle!" Wang Yang patted his forehead and laughed.
As long as they can survive this winter, they will expand their territory and enter deeper forests without any need to explain themselves.
Thinking of this, Wang Yang was in a good mood and walked into the depths of the forest.
He was already familiar with this part of the road and passed it quickly.
He came to the fruit tree with "one" engraved on it, picked a lot of fruits on the ground, roughly estimated at more than twenty, and filled his pockets full.
There were still dozens of fruits on the tree, so Wang Yang put the barrel on the ground. After climbing up the tree, he dropped the fruits one by one. In this way, he picked half of the tree's fruits, which was enough for one barrel and several bags.
.
Even though these dozens of fruits are a lot, they are actually just a meal for thirty people, so they may not be enough.
Wang Yang picked up the barrel and took it back with difficulty.
Fortunately, he didn't see the saber-toothed tiger this time, and it only took him two hours to walk back and forth.
Back in the cave, my friends gathered around me and wanted to eat.
Wang Yang calculated the time and it was not yet noon, so he patted their little hands off one by one and placed them on the stone platform inside.
He pulled Zhang San over, pointed to the food, pointed to his mouth, shook his head, then pointed to his eyes and the friends around him.
In general, the meaning is: "These foods cannot be eaten, and you have to control them."
Zhang San stared at him blankly, then looked at the red fruits, grabbed one, and took a bite. The fruity aroma rolled on the tongue, like a wave after another, stimulating Zhang San's taste buds.
He smiled happily and said it was delicious.
Wang Yang silently patted his forehead: "Forget it, I won't be as familiar with you."
He poured all the fruits onto the stone platform, swatted away the outstretched hands one by one, then kept pointing at the fruits to Zhang three times and shook his head.
Repeat it again and again, and again and again.
Then his sister stretched out her hand. Wang Yang stopped patting her and looked at Zhang San.
Zhang San was stunned for a moment, then stepped forward and slapped Wang Yingying's hand away.
Wang Yang was overjoyed, but Zhang San picked up another fruit and ate it.
"I¥%#!, as a supervisor, how can you line your own pockets!"
Wang Yang was speechless and ignored it, even if he was paid his salary.
Then he picked up the barrel and pocket and entered the depths of the forest again.
This time, unfortunately, I encountered the saber-toothed tiger.
However, it seemed to know that Wang Yang was a tough guy and not easy to bite, so he roared a few words symbolically and left.
I guess the translation into Mandarin is: "Boy, don't let me see you next time."
Wang Yang didn't throw stones at it, for fear of irritating it and spending a few more days.
He picked fruits by himself and returned to the cave after picking them.
It was already noon, and the adults came back partially. They also picked a lot of fruits, especially nuts, which are very abundant in autumn.
The little friends had been patted on the hands mercilessly by Zhang San, the general manager, all morning, and watched eagerly as he ate so deliciously that he was already hungry.
When they saw a lot of nuts, they rushed towards them and grabbed them without saying a word.
Wang Yang was the first to take all the food bags and poured the fruits out of the bags.
Put all the nuts into several bags and hang them on my waist. No matter what my friends want, they just won't give them to me.
His idea is to eat foods that are not easy to preserve, such as fruits, first, and then eat foods that last longer.
The adults didn't object. They had eaten so much of these things that they no longer felt the taste. The meat was still delicious, so they simply let Wang Yang pretend to leave.
This time, Wang Yang didn't know who to give the nuts to.
None of them understood what they were thinking. Although Zhang San would help him keep an eye on others, he was eating too hard and was unreliable.
He thought that it would be great if there was a safe. He couldn't carry a lot of nuts around.
He thought about it a thousand times but couldn't come up with a clue.
In the afternoon, he didn't go to pick fruit anymore. The fruit tree had already been picked by him. If he wanted to pick it, he would have to look for it elsewhere.
He supervised Zhang San's training in the cave, then watched him make barrels and guided him.
Suddenly, Wang Yang's eyes lit up, and he kept carving with a piece of wood.
This piece of wood is quite large, fifty centimeters in diameter, and he plans to cut it into a two-centimeter flat surface.
So he kept cutting and digging.
In this era, cutting down trees was a troublesome task. After all, there were no axes. The polishing and manufacturing of stone tools was still in its infancy, and there were not many handy tools.
Basically, you use a stone knife to chop. The stone knife is sharp on one side and thick on the other. The thick side is held with the hand, and the sharp end is used for chopping.
Of course Wang Yang would not do this, it would take too much effort.
He held the stone knife in one hand and a large round stone in the other hand, and knocked it down like a nail, using the simplest striking method to improve efficiency.
Even so, it took him a whole day and he was very tired to cut out the two centimeters thick and fifty centimeters in diameter wooden board.
