Yilin took Zhou Jiping to find a woman who seemed to be in charge. This woman's attire looked more noble and she seemed to have some status. After listening to Zhou Jiping's words, the woman agreed, but she asked that it must be returned as soon as possible.
"Stingy!" Zhou Jiping said with some dissatisfaction. They couldn't understand Chinese anyway.
When he was about to leave, several busy women on the butcher farm attracted Zhou Jiping's attention. They seemed to be cooking animal skins, which was exactly what Zhou Jiping needed.
After telling Yilin what she wanted, Yilin relayed Zhou Jiping's words to the woman. After understanding that Zhou Jiping only wanted two pieces as big as a slap, the woman agreed.
The woman went to look for animal skins for Zhou Jiping. Zhou Jiping looked at the busy tribal women with a leisurely attitude.
These women were using salt to tan the animal hides, watching them skillfully use wooden knives to scrape the salt from the hides, taking away the remaining moisture on the hides, or holding the hides with their hands to continue tanning them on the salt.
,Zhou Jiping is homesick again
There are also hunters in the mountains in my hometown. After catching prey, the hunters also use wooden knives to scrape off the minced meat, and then use water mixed with plant ash and salt to cook the skin. Their method of cooking the skin seems to be very similar to that of these tribal women. Wait for the skin to be cooked.
After that, they can be made into various clothing and clothing utensils, and some of the good ones will be bought by dealers and sold outside the mountains.
At this time, the woman in charge came back with a large piece of leather in her hand, which was probably enough for four shoe soles.
Using the rubber soles to make a show, Zhou Jiping cut off four soles, then returned the knife to the female steward and thanked her politely. The woman showed a kind smile, took the knife and turned around to do her own work. Zhou Jiping
But he didn't care and continued to watch these women busy.
Zhou Jiping looked at these women. They were busy with their hands and looked over curiously. Their eyes were naturally kind and they had shy and simple smiles on their faces. That smile was so familiar that Zhou Jiping couldn't help but
Thinking of the folks in my hometown
"Can I try it?" Zhou Jiping asked several women through Yilin in a very relaxed mood.
Unexpectedly, Yilin was so stupid that she didn't translate for her. Looking at Yilin blankly, Zhou Jiping thought to himself: What happened to her today? What's wrong? Forget it, I'll do it myself without translation.
a woman asked
Several women were stunned and stopped what they were doing. It was obvious that they understood the gestures, but they were muttering something to each other. Then someone called the woman in charge who just decided to lend Zhou Jiping a knife.
After understanding what Zhou Jiping meant, he actually shook his head and refused.
Why is it so troublesome? Originally, Zhou Jiping thought that the atmosphere here was very good. He had nothing to do anyway, so it would be good to have a good relationship with the tribesmen in his free time. Was he afraid that I would ruin it because I didn't do it?
He simply reached out and grabbed the wooden knife in a woman's hand, and started doing it in the same way. At this point, the women didn't know what to do. They didn't want to stop, but Zhou Jiping became more and more energetic——
This isn't really difficult at all.
At this time, there was a commotion outside the butchery. Everyone looked up and saw that the hunting team was back.
Seeing the hunting team returning, the female steward hurriedly bent down and wanted to snatch the wooden knife from Zhou Jiping's hand. Unexpectedly, Zhou Jiping retracted his hand and did not grab it. When he grabbed it again, Zhou Jiping instinctively raised his hand to block it.
"Ah 10,000%#￥!" It was Pengre who was walking at the front of the hunting team. He raised his eyes and saw this scene, shouted something, and rushed over quickly.
Broken, am I the one causing trouble? Zhou Jiping's heart tightened, and the wooden knife in his hand had been snatched away by the woman in charge. Then the woman in charge turned around and actually knelt down in front of Peng Re.
It turns out you weren’t targeting me! But what’s going on? Zhou Jiping was surprised
I saw Pengre striding up to the woman in charge, shouting something loudly. Judging from Pengre's expression, he should be scolding the woman. At this time, several women next to him also knelt down, and they were all silent.
After a few curses, Pengre seemed unable to get rid of his anger, so he kicked the woman in charge down, picked up the spear shaft in his hand, and beat her.
Zhou Jiping was stunned by this turn of events at first. When he woke up, the spear shaft had already hit the woman twice. He quickly reached out and grabbed Peng Re's spear shaft and shouted: "no, no, no"
Zhou Jiping couldn't bear to see men hitting women. After all, showing off one's power to women is not a hero. What's more, he came to ask for help from others. They had just helped him, and he couldn't just sit idly by and ignore the situation and reason. What's more, he came to ask for help.
, Zhou Jiping also wanted to take the opportunity to test how much the chief's outstanding hunting captain weighed. Maybe he would fight with them in the future, so it would be better to get a feel for it first.
What Zhou Jiping grabbed was the far end of the spear shaft, taking advantage of the strength arm. In addition, he was deliberately trying to compete. Pengre was caught by Zhou Jiping, and he made several luck moves.
His strength didn't move at all, and Pengre's eyes suddenly straightened.
Seeing that Peng Re's attention had been attracted, Zhou Jiping secretly thought rashly and hurriedly stopped his efforts, pretending to be weak and unsteady, squeezed between Peng Re and the woman in charge, and tried to persuade him through Yilin.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Jiping's persuasion was completely ineffective. In desperation, Yilin couldn't even translate a word.
Seeing Zhou Jiping standing in front of the woman, Pengre could no longer hit her. Pengre gave some instructions to his hunting team. Several hunters came up shouting and driving several women away with spear poles.
He stood up and left the butchery and walked towards the wooden shed square.
What is going on? Looking at the scene in front of him, Zhou Jiping didn't know what to do. He looked at Yilin, hoping that she could explain to him
But Yilin actually looked at her with a resentful look, as if she was hesitant to speak.
"Yilin, what's going on? Why did Pengre hit that woman?" Zhou Jiping couldn't see Yilin's eyes, so he asked directly
After calming down her mood, Yilin said: "It's all your fault."
Blame me? Zhou Ji was stunned, why is it my business here?
"Men cannot do this kind of work. Letting men do this kind of work is an insult to men. That woman is Pengre's wife. If she lets you work, it is an insult to Pengre and all the men in the entire tribe." Yi
Lin was finally able to finish her sentence.
ah?!
——A patriarchal society! Such a word popped into Zhou Jiping’s mind, but it was too much.
"What if Pengre takes them away?"
"Go and accept the chief's punishment. If it's serious, your nose will be cut off." Yilin's face was full of unbearability.
"Then what are you waiting for!" Zhou Jiping shouted in Chinese, and Zhou Jiping jumped up from where he was, holding Yilin barefoot and running towards the wooden shed.
