survival in the wilderness

Chapter 182 On the Qingyan Tribe

The residence of the Qingyan tribe is similar to that of the wilderness tribe, dilapidated and messy, with five times as many people as the wilderness tribe.

Qingshan was very curious about the visitors from Sun City, especially after listening to Yuan Qing's introduction, they came here after traveling from the upper reaches of the river for more than ten days, and they were a completely unfamiliar tribe.

Dressing and eating are different from theirs, as well as sharp weapons and sturdy ships, these are what Qingshan is most interested in.

After listening to a few words, Lin Yan and others discovered that the Yuanye tribe and the Qingyan tribe spoke the same language. It is said that the two tribes have known each other for a long time and started exchanging goods a long time ago.

Lin Yan and the others also learned their language and could communicate easily.

When Shuisheng and Qingshan were talking, they could occasionally stumble and interject a few words.

Qingshan looks rough, but he is a man with a delicate mind. He looked at Lin Yan and the children, "You are so smart. You must have something amazing when you come out with the fleet."

Shui Sheng smiled and said, "They are the smartest kids in our Sun City, and they followed them out to gain knowledge. To be honest, our Sun City is located in a remote place, and we have never seen a big tribe like yours."

"Why is it called Sun City?" Qing Shan asked curiously, they are all called tribes.

"We are also called the Sun Tribe. We live in underground caves. The beasts trampled the caves, so we built houses and renamed them Sun City."

"Is the house the same as ours?"

"It's not the same. Our house is made of red bricks and red tiles, with wooden doors and windows." Shui Sheng looked at Lin Yan, "Have you brought a pen and paper? Draw a picture of our house and show them."

"I've brought it." Lin Yan hurriedly took out the paper and pen from her satchel, and drew a few brush strokes to outline the appearance of the yard.

Shuisheng took the paper and gave Qingshan a detailed introduction, and asked Lin Yan to draw the bricks, tiles, doors and windows, which made Qingshan's eyes shine.

Yuan Qing and Yuan He also looked at the paper curiously. They were already shocked when they saw the paper and pen on the boat, but they were just curious about what the houses in Sun City looked like.

"Your house looks solid, and it's warm in the cold season." Qing Shan said enviously.

"We have a heated kang in the cold season, and the house is very warm..."

Shuisheng explained in detail how to keep warm in the cold season, and the three of Qingshan's eyes widened, as if they had discovered a peerless treasure.

The cold season is the most worrying time for everyone. It is so cold that there are always people who can't survive it.

After hearing Shui Sheng's words, Qing Shan immediately had an idea, and excitedly said: "Can you teach us how to make a kang?"

Seeing that Shuisheng was hesitant, he immediately said: "I won't let you teach in vain, we will exchange things. You can mention anything you like."

Qingshan is impatient, he can't bear it for a moment, wishing he could drag Shuisheng to make a kang right away.

As the leader of the Qingyan Tribe, Qingshan has a great sense of responsibility. Every cold season passes, people freeze to death, which makes him very frustrated.

He has also worked hard and done a lot, but it is difficult to change the status quo.

Shuisheng's words let Qingshan see the light, as long as he can solve the heating problem in the cold season, he is willing to do it.

After relaying Qingshan's words to Lin Yan and the others, they all looked at each other and felt that this matter could be agreed.It is worthwhile to be able to exchange ready-made technology for what you want.

Yuan Qing glanced back and forth between Qingshan and Shuisheng, and then said: "Our Yuanye tribe also wants to follow suit."

Shuisheng smiled and said, "You can learn them all. We want salt and cottonseed."

After a lot of bargaining, more than 100 catties of mineral salt and three sacks of cottonseed were obtained in exchange for the kang technology.

It was getting late when we arrived at the Qingyan tribe, and Qingshan warmly invited Shuisheng and the others to have dinner together, and they could also stay at his house at night.

It's okay to eat, but Zhuxia Yunqing refused.When she first arrived in this strange place, she didn't dare to take anyone's risk.

I saw that the food prepared by Qingshan was all meat, grilled, boiled, and there was not a single vegetarian dish.

Lin Yan took a bite of the barbecue and narrowed his eyes in satisfaction. Meat with salt tastes good. It's been a long time.

Wait, not only salt, but also a spicy taste, she asked curiously, "What seasoning is added to this barbecue?"

Qingshan smiled and said: "It's a small white fruit, we call it ginkgo, it has a strong taste, and it tastes better when you put some on barbecue."

"Can you show me what ginkgo looks like?"

Qing Shan got up and shouted a few words, his eldest son came in with ginkgo fruit.

After taking a look, Lin Yan immediately looked at the result of the science and technology museum, it was white pepper, no wonder it had a spicy taste.

Her eyes lit up, "Ginkgo is a good thing, so delicious."

"If you like it, I'll give you some to take back." Qingshan is very generous, and there are quite a few of them on the mountains near Baiguo's tribe.

Lin Yan started to eat happily after hearing this.

Yun Qing and the others frowned. It was the first time they ate meat with salt and pepper flavors, and they were a little uncomfortable.Only Lin Yan ate happily.

After a meal, the host and guests enjoyed the meal, and when they returned to the boat, everyone else went to look for steamed buns to fill their stomachs. They ate too little just now, and their stomachs were empty.

Yuan Qing and Yuan He did not follow them back to the boat, but stayed at Qing Shan's house.

The space in the cabin is limited, and everyone sits next to each other, chatting while eating.

"Qingshan is straightforward, he was very generous the first time he saw us, and he was completely unprepared." Huang Ying finished speaking and took a bite of steamed buns, "Who will teach them how to make a kang tomorrow."

Shi Zhi: "That's because Yuan Qing and the others are there. If we were strangers, Qing Shan would probably drive us out."

"It's not easy to get out, Qingshan is a hospitable person at first glance, and dealing with such a person is the most reassuring."

Lin Yan: "I think what Huang Ying said is right. Qingshan is straightforward and hospitable, so he is a good candidate for cooperation."

Feng Wenwen looked at Lin Yan: "Do you really think the Qingyan tribe's meat is delicious?"

Lin Yan nodded, "It's delicious, with salt and pepper, better than ours. If you are not used to eating it the first time, you will get used to it in the future."

They have never eaten salty taste, so they will inevitably feel uncomfortable when they taste it for the first time.

"Things with salt can restore physical strength and make work more vigorous. Once you get used to it, you will definitely be inseparable from it."

The others were dubious, and finally tasted the salt that Lin Yan had been thinking about, and it was different from the delicious taste they had imagined.

"Don't you think pepper is very exciting, spicy, and it makes the meat taste better?"

Shi Zhi: "I don't think so."

No one is in the same camp as him, and Lin Yan doesn't care, time will prove that the meat with seasoning is the best.

Talking while eating, it was decided that Shi Zhi and two people from the military department would teach how to make a kang tomorrow, and the rest of the people, except those who stayed on the boat, would go to the Qingyan tribe as guests.

Lin Yan even wanted to see where the mineral salt was produced.

After training, before falling asleep, Lin Yan asked Fat Bao, "Can you translate the language of the Qingyan tribe?"

Fat Bao: "Yes. They are collecting their languages, and they will be translated after the collection and analysis are completed."

"Really?" Lin Yan was very pleasantly surprised, "Qingyan tribe has no written language, are you a transliteration?"

Fat Bao: "Yes, their voices can be recorded and translated into written records."

After receiving the good news, Lin Yan fell asleep happily.
