Anything is precious because it is rare.

Even though these primitive people live in caves and wear animal skins and eat raw meat and drink blood, they also know to collect some colorful gems and gold, which are rare in nature. In other words, as long as they meet the most basic survival needs, humans have begun to realize that these rare items have value.

Because beautiful decoration is also a kind of value that reflects the value, just like beautiful feathers are more expensive. It is nothing more than that women can insert their heads to reflect their status, which causes feathers, which have almost nothing to do with survival, to become a very important trading item.

At this trade fair, the Muya tribe used three red and fiery red feathers to exchange them from the Wu tribe to a bear skin.

In terms of practical value, bear skin is much more valuable than feathers, but the Ukrainian tribe did not feel that it was a loss. Instead, it burst into warm cheers after getting it.

This is the value generated by demand.

Rare items such as turquoise, amber, and gold will definitely generate greater value over time, so as long as other tribes are willing to exchange them, they will still not refuse.

Doing so will not only promote pottery and improve the survival ability of these neighboring tribes, but will also promote the prosperity and progress of the Ba people and enhance the reputation and popularity of the Ba people.

With the exchanges and exchanges between tribes farther away, these pottery and cloth will gradually spread further, and the reputation of the Ba people will become greater and greater.

What is the most important thing in business is reputation.

If a person has no self, he has self.

Although the methods of making pottery and weaving will sooner or later be spread, at least in the past few years, they will still be firmly grasped in the hands of the Ba people. Xu Chen must use this time difference to beat the Ba people's reputation. As for what consequences will happen after the beat, he cannot predict at present.

But the soldiers come and the generals block the water comes and the soil covers the water.

If you want to lead the rise of the human race in this primitive and wilderness era, you must take the initiative to communicate with other tribes, whether it is peace or war, the interaction must be continuous and fierce.

Ten thousand years is too long, and he can only seize the day, so he can't wait for the slow evolution of human civilization according to the historical trajectory.

However, whether it is firing pottery or spinning and weaving, these things only need to be arranged by hand to follow the steps. You can't get enough of it because there are only so many people and such a big place.

Therefore, after arranging the kiln factory, Xu Chen devoted his main energy to the important matter of repairing the house.

The foundation of the house has been dug, and I just waited to build the foundation with stones. There are still a lot of stones missing.

In addition, such a large house requires hundreds of wood, and there is not one at this moment.

Furthermore, the house is too big. Xu Chen is preparing to use mud bricks in order to speed up the construction speed, so he has to first unearth a large amount of mud bricks.

At present, there are only eighteen men who can participate in the work of the Ba tribe, four kiln factories and six hunting. The remaining are only eight of them, even Xu Chenguju three.

These eight people have to be divided into three groups, one group cuts wood, one group lays bricks, and one group builds foundation feet. Each group is divided into less than three people.

Short of people short of people!!!

Xu Chen finally felt that his step was too big and he was pulling the balls.

Such a large project construction requires at least thirty people, and it would be better if there were a hundred people.

But now not only are people struggling to get enough hands, but also the elderly and weak and half-aged people are mainly among them.

Therefore, after working for two consecutive days, everyone was so tired that they didn't want to move. Xu Chen didn't want to move and slept directly in the stone house of the kiln factory at night and was too lazy to go back to the cave.

Xu Chen didn't want to go up the mountain, and Gu Heju didn't want to go up the mountain either.

Anyway, there are five houses in the kiln factory, all kinds of fire pits and stoves are available, and various pottery kiln factories also have inventory, so a group of people simply packed up and planned to live in the kiln factory.

As a result, Muba and a group of women on the mountain were worried that they would not eat and drink well, so they had to arrange a few women to come down to help cook every morning and evening.

In order to see Xu Chen, Ye brought a group of children down every day.

Xiaoma has been in a kiln factory since Xu Chen and his team started to repair houses at the foot of the mountain. During the day, they almost ignored the ties on the river beach.

In order to facilitate training, Xu Chen simply brought down the two little wolves and threw them in the kiln factory. He gave some food and meat soup every day. He would do some simple training like a dog trainer, such as training sitting and lying down, training picking things, training simple commands, etc.

Although the two little wolves are still very fierce in temper, they will grin and make whimpering threats when they see anyone, and there is almost no progress in training, but Xu Chen did not give up. He practices when he has time, and uses meat and bones and food to tempt them. Anyway, it is just a test piece, and if he fails, he will be successful.

A stupid pig, a stubborn donkey, an honest ox, a chicken in the middle of the night.

Only when you are useful can you have a personality, but if you are useless and stubborn, you will have a dead end.

With the large-scale construction of the house, the lives of the entire ethnic group were almost completely disrupted.

There are a group on the mountain and a group at the foot of the mountain. Apart from several full-time hunters such as Feng, the group life between men and women is almost completely isolated.

This made Xu Chen feel much better. He finally didn't have to endure the movement of pile driving every night. Although there were still many snoring, grinding teeth, and farting, the situation improved greatly with wall isolation between them.

Since I lived at the foot of the mountain, I have more time to work every day. I get up at dawn and stay busy until dark. Although I have severely insufficient staff, as time goes by, various tasks have gradually changed significantly.

Every day, Xu Chen took Gu Heju to the river beach to pick up stones in the morning, then transported them back with a basket of vine baskets, and used pottery jars to carry water and mud to build the walls in the afternoon. After a few days, it had been more than 20 meters. It seemed that there was no problem in building them in a month.

Another group of three people were responsible for cutting trees near the foot of the mountain. After cutting them down, they didn't have to move them back. They just needed to cut them into the right size according to Xu Chen's requirements and threw them under the hillside and hung them first.

Two other adults are responsible for laying mud bricks.

This job is simpler, but it is the most tiring.

First dig a hole near the river beach, pour in the soil and water it, throw in some dried weeds, then use your feet to trample it into mud, use fired ceramic plates to form a square brick mold on the flat grass, pour the mud in and smooth it with your hands, and then put it on the river beach and dry it slowly.

This is a pure work of strength and no skills are required.

But for primitive people, any technical job is difficult, but any effort is simple.

Therefore, two men who seemed not very strong got up early and came back late every day and kept shaking bricks with mud bricks. After seven or eight days, a large area of ​​mud bricks appeared on the river beach, with at least six or seven hundred yuan.

According to Xu Chen's rough calculation, it would take tens of thousands of mud bricks to repair all this mansion, and it would take three months to lay the bricks alone. In order to catch up with the progress, Xu Chen had to ask Feng and a group of hunters to complete the hunting mission every day and come back to help.

After this lasts for a few days, the situation will improve, and the speed of brick laying has accelerated a lot. As long as nothing unexpected happens, the required mud bricks should be polished within two months.

Although everyone is very tired, when Xu Chen described that everyone would have a wonderful life of living in a single house, everyone is very motivated and almost no need for Xu Chen to remind him repeatedly. He just needs to say a word and do it immediately.

In the midst of busyness, October passed by in a flash.

The mountains and fields began to show large areas of yellowness, and the weather became cooler and colder.

But in this coming winter, the enthusiasm of the entire tribe is growing.

...

"Yeshohohohohohohoho~~~"

In the direction of the entrance of the valley, the call of wind and a group of hunters who set out came.

Although it was very far apart, under the full lung capacity, the empty valley echoed, and those working at the foot of the mountain could hear it clearly.

Xu Chen looked up at the sky and felt a little strange.

It's not yet noon now. Usually, the hunting team has just arrived near the river at this time and should have just started hunting. Why did they finish work so early today?

Did the hunting go smoothly today and kill the big guy as soon as you go?

Xu Chen was still wondering, but Gu Heju around him was full of nervousness and kept looking at the entrance of the valley. The two men who were tiling bricks on the river beach in the distance also rushed over and pulled out the spear inserted on the construction site.

"What happened?" Xu Chen quickly threw down his mud knife and went forward to ask.

"Someone... is here!" A man quickly gestured and explained.

Xu Chen became nervous when he heard this, but then he remembered that there might be foreigners coming to change pottery and linen, otherwise Feng and others would not have brought them in so simply. So he shook his head and comforted him, "Don't be nervous, it may be the Wu people!"

"Wuga?" Both men were surprised.

"Wuga, change the pottery!" Xu Chen pointed at the kiln factory and nodded.

After hearing the nervousness, the two men slowly relaxed, but they still did not put down their spears. Instead, they ran to the kiln factory to call all four kiln workers, took the bows and arrows and spears and met them towards the direction of the valley entrance.

As a tribe's man, guarding the safety of the tribe is the top priority.

The signal sent back by Feng and others was that outsiders came in, and they must be nervous and worried.

After walking forward for more than twenty minutes, a large group of people were seen coming from afar. The leader was Feng and other familiar Ba hunters. Moreover, the group was still communicating loudly and laughing, and the atmosphere seemed very harmonious.

Therefore, Xu Chen speculated that it should be correct.
