Chapter 53 Drink more hot water
As currently the strongest individual unit in their tribe, Zhou Chongshan’s main job is to be responsible for guarding the camp and ensuring its safety.
Under this premise, it is indeed a suitable choice for him to take care of the patients.
"Okay, Chongshan, you will take care of me."
Zhou Xu said while looking around.
"Light up all the stone stoves and boil water!"
After arranging this matter, he turned to look at Zhou Chongshan.
"Chongshan, come with me."
As he spoke, Zhou Xu walked to a stone stove in a few steps. The water in the pot was already boiling.
Picked up a pottery bowl from the side, Zhou Xu scooped out half a bowl of water from the pot, poured it into the pottery bowl, and then scooped out half a bowl from the pottery pot used to store boiling water. Pour in the cold boiled water.
Once half a bowl of boiling water and half a bowl of cold water are mixed, it is basically warm water.
"Just follow this method and mix up a bowl of warm water, then bring it in for him to drink and let him drink it all. When you go in, you have to put this on like I just did."
While talking, Zhou Xu gave the mask in his hand to Zhou Chongshan.
"This is very important. It must be worn and can be taken off after coming out. Of course, the water is also very important. Let him drink it when he wakes up and keep drinking."
Having said this, Zhou Xu paused, then stood up and looked at the surrounding tribe members.
"You are all the same. If you don't want to get this disease, starting from today, everyone must drink more boiled water. One person will drink at least ten bowls of it every day!"
Although their pottery bowls The size is normal, but it requires everyone to drink ten bowls of boiled water every day, which is definitely too much.
It can also be seen from this that Zhou Xu attaches great importance to this matter.
After all, in his opinion, once colds occur on a large scale, it will have an impact that cannot be ignored on the development and even survival of their tribe.
He was careless before, but now that this situation has occurred, he must take precautions quickly.
"In addition, each of you should pay attention to your own situation. If you have symptoms such as sneezing, coughing, itchy throat, sore throat, or hot forehead, you must report it to me as soon as possible."< br>
After explaining all the things that needed attention, Zhou Xu slowly exhaled a long breath.
"Okay, let's make breakfast."
As the beginning of the day, Zhou Xu certainly didn't intend to make this breakfast too shabby.
Basically, each person has a bowl of fish soup and half a grilled fish. He has to eat something to have the strength to work.
This was supposed to be a happy time, but the occurrence of this unexpected situation made the atmosphere of the entire tribe a bit solemn.
"Chief, do you want to give that person..."
"Cold."
"Oh, yes, do you want to send some food to that person who has a cold? ”
Since he took over the task of taking care of the other party, Zhou Chongshan naturally showed a somewhat responsible attitude at this time.
"If you have a cold, it's best not to touch fish."
As he spoke, Zhou Xu handed the two skewers of roasted rat meat to Zhou Chongshan.
“Give this to him.”
At this moment, Zhou Chongshan undoubtedly suddenly realized.
At breakfast time, everyone in the tribe was either grilling fish or making fish soup. Only their leader was grilling rat meat.
At first they thought it was their leader who didn't want to eat grilled fish, so they changed their breakfast. Now it seems that these two skewers of roasted rat meat were specially prepared for the patient.
Don’t think that rat meat is bad. Putting aside the physical discomfort, the protein contained in rat meat is actually very high.
The reason why modern society does not advocate eating rat meat is that the modern environment is too bad and rats carry too many viruses.
But primitive society is different.
They had eaten for such a long time at the Salt Lake Camp before and nothing had happened.
It was enough to prove that these mice were indeed cleaner than the modern mice in his impression.
Under this premise, even if we don’t talk about protein, compared with fish, in terms of taste, this rat meat may not necessarily lose.
For Zhou Xu, who has eaten both, these two kinds of meat have their own merits.
Although roasted rat meat has less meat, it has a unique flavor and is very suitable as a dish to accompany wine.
So even when they arrived at the Black Moon Camp, they had freshwater fish that had more meat and were easier to catch, but the rat meat still didn't disappear from their menu.
Zhou Xu would roast a few from time to time for toothpaste.
And if they want this rat meat to disappear from their menu, they probably have to wait until rabbit meat is added to their menu.
A delicious and fulfilling breakfast somewhat cheered everyone up.
To be honest, their current state is definitely better than before.
Putting aside their worries for the time being, under Zhou Xu's arrangements, everyone quickly devoted themselves to a new day's work.
Zhou Xu’s arrangement today is mainly to stay in the camp. At this time, he is spreading out a piece of animal skin, using branches to dip the dyeing juice of plants. While painting, he explains to Zhuang Mengdie what they will do next. Something new to do.
That thing is a wooden cart!
The most important thing about a human-pulled wooden cart, and the most difficult thing for Zhou Xu and others today, is the entire structure that ensures the smooth rotation of the wheels.
Of course Zhou Xu did not expect that the wooden cart they made would be as smooth as silk, as long as the wheels could spin relatively smoothly.
Purely hand-polished production requires high precision and is undoubtedly very time-consuming.
However, considering Zhuang Mengdie’s skillful hands, and as long as they can successfully make a wooden cart, they only need one, and they can easily complete the workload of five people in the transportation team. , and transportation efficiency can also be significantly improved.
This temptation made Zhou Xu finally decide to invest his energy and start struggling.
He drew the drawings and explained each design clearly to Zhuang Mengdie.
Listening to all this, Zhuang Mengdie's eyes couldn't help but burst with brilliance.
In Zhou Xu's opinion, this wooden cart may be an extremely ordinary thing, and its structure is also very simple and not complicated.
But in the eyes of Zhuang Mengdie, a primitive person, this seemingly simple structure made her feel the genius of the idea in it.
Is their leader’s wisdom really a gift from the gods?
If it were her, she would never be able to come up with such an exquisite idea and design.
“I’ll start right now!”
At this time, Zhuang Mengdie could not wait to turn this idea into reality.
"Very good. From now on, you will be mainly responsible for making this wooden cart, and leave other things to other people in the department. Come on!"
said In the end, Zhou Xu did not forget to encourage the other party.
This task is definitely the most reliable to hand over to Zhuang Mengdie. As for himself...
In addition to his advanced thinking and relatively rich knowledge reserves, today's He didn't think his hands were more delicate than Zhuang Mengdie's, so it would be better not to stay here and help him.
