Because when she went out to search for wild fruits with the women in the tribe, Lan Du asked Shi Jiang to follow her and Yu.
Then Shi Jiang took advantage of Lan and Yu not paying attention, and pulled out some vegetable seeds from the bag.
Lan was very tolerant of her newly recognized granddaughter and allowed her to take some strange things back and plant them beside her cave.
Anyway, as long as it doesn't hinder the tribe's search for food.
In just one month, Shi Jiang was like a mouse carrying food, planting things to the edge of the cave little by little.
Soon, a large area of land was cultivated next to the cave.
There was also the male mountain deer that Lan asked Feng to catch for Shi Jiang. Shi Jiang looked at the antlers of the mountain deer and knew that if they were kept in captivity with fences like this, he would probably be able to escape with just one jump.
So, she cut down the rattan, peeled off the bark, twisted it into a rope, and tied the mountain deer's neck. Then she nailed an arm-thick stake to the corner of the cave and tied the mountain deer to the stake.
.
Then surround that corner with a fence, and when you come back from going out to look for wild fruits every day, you will throw some wild fruits and weeds into the fence.
At first, the tied mountain deer tried to push open the fences with its horns and escape.
However, every time it rushed towards the fence, its neck was strangled so hard that it couldn't breathe.
Once, twice or three times, no matter how stupid the mountain deer is, it will know that if it does this again, it will only get hurt.
In addition, Jiang picked fresh wild fruits and grass to feed it every day, so he could get delicious food without having to forage by himself. The mountain deer naturally gradually settled down.
Especially, after the second wind brought a female mountain deer, the previous male mountain deer gave up completely and became a salted fish who only wanted to pick up his wife.
During this period, Shi Jiang also went out with Feng and the others.
At Shi Jiang's suggestion, traps were dug in places where animals often appear.
After all, there are too few people in the current Qingshi tribe who can hunt, and most of them are a little too old and not strong enough.
If you only encounter mountain deer, wild boars, and bleating beasts, that's fine.
If they encounter big beasts like the Long-tailed Beast, there will probably be casualties. The current Bluestone Tribe can no longer afford such losses.
The eagle followed Shi Jiang's suggestion and threw the fish entrails he caught in the water into the trap he dug.
Then a lot of sharpened wooden sticks were inserted into the trap.
Thin branches are spread on top, and leaves are sprinkled on top. If you don't look carefully, you won't know there is a trap here.
Moreover, in order to prevent people from the tribe from accidentally stepping on it, Shi Jiang also asked everyone to erect a smooth stick in the middle of the trap. There was also a wooden sign hanging on the stick with a concave character painted on it.
Of course, no one in the tribe knew that this character was pronounced concave. They only thought that the painting Shi Jiang drew was very vivid, just like the trap they dug.
I believe that as long as they see this sign, no one in their tribe will step on it by mistake.
The eagle followed Shi Jiang's method and found many places where animals they knew from hunting often appeared to dig traps.
After digging, I went home with some anxiety.
To be honest, if Shi Jiang hadn't told them the correct way to eat fish and they were not short of food now, the eagle would never have listened to Shi Jiang's words so easily and dug a trap.
Anyway, the eagle had already planned it, which meant he wasted a day digging traps.
If there is no prey the next day, then continue hunting with the clansmen.
It turns out those animals have never experienced social beatings.
After smelling the bloody smell emanating from the fish's internal organs, it is easy to let those animals fall into the trap one after another.
The next day, the eagle took the big guys and searched for trap after trap. The prey they got was much beyond their expectation.
It can even be said that the prey harvested in this day can be worth their food for a week.
For this reason, Shi Jiang got two mountain deer and a wild boar.
Seeing the mountain deer and wild boar with multiple holes poked in their belly, Shi Jiang was too lazy to disembowel them himself, so he could only ask Ben to help clean them up.
During these days, after Ben took the fishing net he asked Shi Jiang for, he even slept with the fishing net in his arms.
Every morning early in the morning, he would run to the water to net fish.
The other people in the tribe could only carry one or two skins with them.
Every time Ben casts his fishing net, he can catch dozens of them.
This gap makes other people in the tribe envious.
However, every time Ben caught a fish in his net, he would not keep it all for himself, but would share some of it with the people in the tribe.
Shijiang, in particular, receives two freshly cleaned fish delivered to her every day.
Shi Jiang couldn't eat fish every day, so she secretly pickled the extra fish with salt.
Every time, Shijiang would pickle a few strips and put them at the entrance of the cave to dry.
Under the exposure of the sun, these fish were soon dried into dried fish, and then Shi Jiang received them in a bag.
Because the number was small, Ben always thought it was just the same fish that were basking in the sun.
I also curiously asked Shi Jiang why these fish never dried.
Hearing Ben's question, Shi Jiang felt a little ashamed.
Then I thought about it, if winter comes, these dried fish will be used as food.
If she puts it all in a hundred bags, Ben and the others won't be able to see the food they have stored, and they may not be able to explain it when they take it out.
Therefore, later on, every time Shi Jiang dried the fish, he would put it on the rocks in the cave.
Soon, the dried fish piled up into a hill on the stone.
Ben was surprised to see how much dried fish Shi Jiang had saved.
After all, in his opinion, he only gave Shi Jiang two fish every day. If he gave these two fish to him, they would only fill up a corner of his stomach.
Because of the traps, the men of the tribe who went hunting had a full harvest every day.
Therefore, a lot of meat was distributed from house to house.
Shijiang is no exception. There is so much meat that it will go bad easily if it is not eaten immediately.
Therefore, it must be marinated with salt.
There is no shortage of salt in Shijiang, but there is so much salt in the tribe for marinating meat.
Ying, who originally wanted to go to the Tiger Tribe to exchange things for some time, decided to set off in the next few days, taking the newly made pottery with him, to the Tiger Tribe to exchange for more salt.
After hearing Ying's plan, Shi Jiang expressed that she also wanted to go with him.
Regarding Shi Jiang's request, Ying thought about it for a moment and reluctantly nodded in agreement.
After all, food and women are the objects of competition between tribes.
However, the Tiger tribe they went to was an old acquaintance, so there shouldn't be any big problems.
During this period, Shi Jiang, in addition to storing grain, sat on the big stone in the newly dug hole every night and meditated.
She discovered that there was actually very pure spiritual energy in this world.
