Chapter 37 Cellar and Kang

"Don't crowd, so that no one can get the fishhook. Be quiet, everyone, and let me tell you how to exchange it. Everyone..."

Facing the turbulent crowd, Fengyun tried his best to control the situation, but he didn't get the result he wanted. On the contrary, the situation became worse and worse and was on the verge of losing control.

Fengyun gave up, turned his head to look at Bao, and cast a look for help.

Bao slightly nodded, took two steps forward, and came to the level with Fengyun.

"Shut up, everyone. Whoever makes any noise will not want the fishhook."

There was a thunderous explosion, and terrifying sound waves gushed out from Bao Bao's mouth, like a flood that broke an embankment, sweeping towards the crowd.

The impact of the sound waves was astonishing. Some people who were desperately trying to squeeze in front of Fengyun were blown away, like fallen leaves in a strong wind, whirling and falling towards the people behind.

People who were farther away from Fengyun were not spared either, and were staggered by the sound waves.

There was chaos at the scene, crying father and mother, a mess.

"Shut up, or get out!"

Bao lowered the volume this time, still very afraid of people, and now immediately fell into a dead silence.

Everyone didn't dare to scream anymore, even if someone was injured, they kept their mouths tightly shut and endured it.

"Boy Yun, I'll leave it to you. If anyone is disobedient, just let him go. If you dare to say no, I will deal with him."

Storm nodded to Fengyun and retreated.

Fengyun didn't expect that Bao would handle it like this.

As he imagined, he would use his authority to silence people.

However, seeing the distressed appearance of the people, for some reason, Feng Yun felt a tinge of pleasure in his heart.

"Attention everyone. Let me talk about the exchange conditions for fishhooks first. Since the number of fishhooks is limited, I will give priority to exchange with those who meet the conditions."

Fengyun saw that many people couldn't help showing disappointed expressions, obviously they thought they couldn't meet his exchange conditions.

"But other people don't have to be disappointed. I will continue to make fishhooks until everyone's needs are met, but the time to get them will be later."

"Those who get the hooks late don't mind too much. There are so many fish in the rivers and lakes that you can't catch them all. You don't have to worry about not being able to eat them."

Until this time, no one had asked him what the conditions for the exchange were.

Fengyun couldn't help nodding secretly, the deterrent power of violence is really too strong.

"My exchange conditions are very simple. I need wild vegetables, all kinds of wild vegetables. As long as someone can provide enough wild vegetables, I will immediately give him a fishhook."

Fengyun directly gave the exchange conditions.

People were stunned after hearing his words, and they never dreamed that his exchange terms would be this.

In their imagination, Fengyun is most likely to ask them for wild beast meat like he did when he exchanged pottery last time.

"As for the exchange standard. It is divided into three levels. Small fishhooks only need to give me wild vegetables twice my weight, medium fishhooks four times my weight wild vegetables, and large fishhooks six times my weight. Let's act quickly. .First come, first served."

Before the words were finished, the crowd in front of Fengyun retreated at an extremely fast speed.

The crowd receded so fast that it even raised a cloud of smoke.

"Boy Yun, are you really going to exchange all the fishhooks for wild vegetables?"

Bao looked at Fengyun with an expression on his face that I can't understand you.

"Of course not. I will only exchange wild vegetables for three hundred fishhooks."

"What about the rest?"

"I'm going to ask everyone to do something for me."

"What do you want them to do?"

"First of all, I will ask them to clean the wild vegetables, boil water, scald them, put them in a large tank, press them with stones, and cover them..."

"Wait a minute. Didn't you say that you want to pickle the wild vegetables?"

"I'll pickle some, and I'll make sauerkraut for the rest.

"

"What I just said is the process of making sauerkraut. Whether it is cooked with meat or fish, it is very delicious."

"It's delicious even if it's sour? Forget it, you're good at cooking food, so you can do it if you say so."

Storm shook his head incomprehensibly.

"Besides this, what else do you want everyone to help you with?"

"Dig a big cellar."

"The cellar? What?"

"Just dug a big hole in the ground, connected to the ground by a passage."

"What is it for?"

"Store food, such as wild vegetables, hair pimples...all can be put in it to ensure that it will not freeze in winter."

"It really won't freeze?"

Bao's eyes lit up, and he suddenly became energetic.

Storing food is a big problem that has always plagued everyone in the tribe, especially in winter.

Many plant-based foods are frozen before they have time, and we can only watch them rot.

It is because a considerable part of food will be lost in winter, and some people will starve, or even starve to death directly.

If the cellar mentioned by Fengyunkou can really solve the problem of food storage, it will solve everyone's serious problem.

"Uncle Bao, have you ever wondered why Wu put the wild beasts turned in by everyone in the cold cave?"

Fengyun didn't answer Bao's question, but asked another question.

"Of course it's because of the coldness of the cave, and the wild beasts are not easy to break in it."

"Why is it cold in the cold cave?"

"I know. In fact, Wu told me. There are cracks around the cold cave, and water will flow in along the cracks. In winter, the water freezes into ice, and it will naturally be cold if there is ice."

"Why don't those icy summers melt away?"

"I don't know. The witch never told me. Could it be that you know?"

Bao was stopped by Fengyun's question, and a little annoyed, he couldn't help asking back.

"Uncle Bao, don't believe me, I really know the reason."

"You know? You're not kidding, are you?"

The violent gaze towards Fengyun was full of suspicion.

"The reason is very simple. The ice around the cold cave is blocked by thick rocks. The sun can't reach them, and the heat from the ground can't touch them. Naturally, they won't melt."

Fengyun paused for a moment and organized his words.

"No, to be precise, they will still melt, but the speed of melting will become very slow, so long that they can survive the whole summer."

"In winter, the water flowing into the crevices is frozen to supplement their consumption in summer, which is why the cold caves always exist."

"This... I admit, what you said seems to have such a thing."

Bao couldn't refute Fengyun's explanation, but he was unwilling.

"Even if what you said is correct, what does it have to do with the cellar you want to dig?"

"Of course it has something to do with it. Uncle Bao, haven't you noticed yet? Cold caves and cellars actually have something in common."

"What's the similarity? Why didn't I see it. Don't go around in circles, kid Yun, just speak directly."

"What they have in common is that they are isolated from the outside world. The cold cave isolates the heat from the outside world, and the cellar isolates the cold air from the outside world. This ensures that the inside of the cellar will not be too cold, and the things put in will naturally not be too cold." will be frozen."

"That's the reason, but can you really guarantee that the food in the cellar will not be damaged by freezing?"

In fact, Bao had already been convinced by Fengyun, but he still had to confirm it, because the result was too important to him, to Wu, and even to the entire tribe.

Fengyun saw through Bao's mind, and in order to reassure him, he decided to tell a lie.

"I have a history of success. Last winter, in order to prevent the food from being taken by others, I dug a deep pit and buried them. As a result, other people's food spoiled, but mine did not."

"Okay. I believe you. I'll report to Wu right now."

Bao finally believed in Fengyun completely, and was going to tell Wu the good news.

"Uncle Bao, wait a moment."

"What else do you need?"

"I want Uncle Bao to stay and help me maintain order so that the situation that just got out of control doesn't happen again."

"Shouldn't there be any more problems?"

"Uncle Bao, you don't need to be in such a hurry. What time is it now? Winter is still early. Wu Chi will know in a day or two, there will be no problem."

"That's right. I'll just stay and hold the place for you. Oh, by the way, besides digging the cellar, what else are you going to ask everyone to do for you?"

"I want everyone to help me rebuild a house with more rooms and more space. The current house is too small, and it is inconvenient to go out in winter. It is too suffocating to live in it."

"This is no problem. I can lead everyone to help you build it. Boy Yun, you don't know yet. I am a master at building houses. I promise to make you live comfortably."

With a proud smile, it was obvious that he was confident in his ability to build a house.

"Boy Yun, what else do you want everyone to do? Tell them all."

"There's only one thing left."

"What is it?"

"I want everyone to help me build a big heated kang in my room."

"Fire Kang? What is it? Why haven't I heard of it?"

When Fengyun heard the words, he secretly laughed.

Of course you haven’t heard of it, how could you possibly know something that hasn’t appeared before.

"Uncle Bao, have you seen the firepit where food is made?"

"Nonsense. Who doesn't know about the firepit?"

"Huokang is my own name. Generally speaking, it is the same as Huotang."

"Are you going to cook food in the room?"

"The heated kang is not used for food, but for sleeping. Its top is closed, and people sleep on it."

"sleep?"

"I'm thinking about the winter. It's too cold in winter. If you want to live comfortably, the room must not be too cold. With a heated kang, everything will be fine. As long as the heated kang is heated, not only the kang will become hot, but also the room will be warm." It will be warm."

"The kang is really so magical? Tell me quickly."

His eyes lit up, looking very excited.

He has also been suffering from the severe cold in winter, now that he can no longer suffer from the cold, how can he not be excited.

"Fired kang is really helpful to survive the winter. It works like this. If you light a fire under the kang, the kang will heat up. The walls of the kang are very thick, and the heat will be lost very slowly, and the lost heat will be absorbed by the walls. Block it, keep it in the room, the room will not be cold..."

"I must tell Wu."

Before Fengyun finished speaking, Bao rushed out.

For Bao's performance, Fengyun was not surprised.

Whether it is a cellar or a kang, it is too important for the tribe to survive the winter safely, so he can't help but pay attention to it.
