Chapter 54: The Green Sparrow Tribe starts to brush teeth
In addition to this benefit, the wood used to block mud during the wall construction has also found a purpose.
By simply collecting more branches and arranging them together, weaving them with rope or other sturdy vines, a structure similar to bamboo mats can be created.
In the past, Han Cheng might have worried about obtaining materials, but now, with trees lying all around, he no longer needs to worry about this issue.
The best material for constructing walls is wooden boards, but Han Cheng cannot skillfully cut large tree trunks into wooden boards since there are no saws. Instead, he uses wooden planks made by weaving together branches.
The walls produced this way will leave some traces of tree sticks on the surface over time, unlike the smooth finish achieved with wooden boards. However, this doesn't matter to Han Cheng. He needs sturdiness, not aesthetics.
Besides being used to build walls, these trees also have larger purposes.
After the walls are constructed, Han Cheng plans to build houses. Living in the cave is not a long-term solution.
These wooden materials will be very useful when it's time to build houses.
A lot of wood is needed based on five beams per house.
With this generous gift from nature, he doesn't have to worry about obtaining the most difficult-to-get wood.
As for those large and immovable tree trunks, cutting off a section and hollowing it out to make a canoe is a good use for them.
Of course, they are also useful for making charcoal.
As for the remaining small branches and leaves, some can be collected as fuel for the tribe, while others can be stacked and burned in the area where Han Cheng plans to cultivate farmland.
The storm that knocked down large stretches of trees near the tribe was truly a great help to Han Cheng. It can be rightfully called a gift from nature.
Shaman and Elder Senior Brother stared wide-eyed, quietly watching the Divine Child. Their eyes widened in surprise. No matter how hard they tried, they could not have anticipated that such a calamity, akin to a demonic curse, would turn into a tremendous blessing when spoken by their Divine Child.New novel chapters are published on
Han Cheng is an exception as a single. Being the Divine Child, he has two ceramic basins, one for washing his face and the other for washing his feet at night. Soaking his feet in hot water at night is incredibly comfortable.
Brushing teeth is a very necessary thing, not only for hygiene but, more importantly, for maintaining dental health.
In this era, if you don't have good oral hygiene, it means you can't be strong. Because if your dental health is poor, you can't even eat delicious food.
Now that Han Cheng has fired the ceramics and invented the method of cooking food in ceramic pots, it's much better than before when there was only one way of grilling. People without teeth suffered.
The two elderly primitive people in the tribe often had bleeding gums.
Now that the new cooking method of boiling soup has appeared, those two are the happiest. After these few months, they have noticeably gained weight and are in much better spirits.
Shaman also likes cooked food because he has lost about half his teeth. He eats slowly, not because he's refined but because he can't eat quickly with fewer teeth.
Confucius said, "Food is not tiresome when it is finely chopped and sliced." It's not directly related to teeth, but the principle is somewhat similar.
After a brief pause in the heavy rain outside, Han Cheng did not immediately start the grand project of repairing the walls. Instead, he instructed people to tidy up the cave ravaged by the storm.
The fire was also reignited. To ignite it, the Elder Senior brother, as the firemaker, almost smoked his hands while rubbing wood for fire.
The little wolf cub had recognized Han Cheng and always wanted to find him for milk, constantly whining.
Animals are very intelligent; they can sense people's goodwill or malice.
The little wolf cub always clings to Han Cheng, not only because Han Cheng was the first person it saw when he pulled it out from under its dead mother's belly but also because in the tribe, apart from Han Cheng, there are far more people who want to skin it for meat than those who find it amusing.
Cheng, who lost half of his ear and almost died under the wolf's mouth, was particularly agitated when he saw the little wolf cub. He pantingly gasped, wishing to pounce on it and take a few bites to vent his anger.
Everyone has received their tickets, and it doesn't hurt when using their faces to catch them. Really, if you don't believe it, try smashing two more and secretly rejoice in upholding the rules.
