Farming in ancient times: Dressing up as a group of beasts to pamper Xiaojiaojiao

Chapter 244 Sugar can be made!
"I, Qin Yan, have a crush on anyone who dares to snatch them, I will beat him." Qin Yan stared and said arrogantly.

As soon as this remark came out, everyone laughed again.

A group of people laughed and walked towards the mountain forest not far away.

Today, they not only have to dig the wild vegetables and fruits they have found, but also find some new food by the way.

Near the mountain forest, I happened to meet Xuan Mo's half-grown boys.

Luo Qingqing walked over with a smile on her face: "Xuan Mo, did you sleep well last night?"

Last night, Hu Xiaoyue had already told her that Xuan Mo was taken home by Hu Mo, and Yun Su also distributed the food that belonged to Xuan Mo to Hu Mo and the others.

From now on, Xuan Mo will be the son of Hu Mo and Jia He.

Xuan Mo smiled shyly, and nodded with happiness on his face: "Well, my uncle and uncle are very kind to me, and I am very happy and happy."

Over the years, he has stubbornly guarded the cave left by his parents, unwilling to be adopted by the tribe, but he just wants to guard the love his parents have for him.

After the tribe migrated, he also hesitated and wanted to live alone, but the newly built house no longer smelled like his parents.

He can feel how kind his uncle and uncle are to him.

That's right, when the patriarch and uncle came to him yesterday, he didn't refuse their kindness.

Hearing this, Luo Qingqing nodded with a smile: "That's good. If you want to eat delicious food in the future, come and find me. I'll make it for you alone."

After finishing speaking, she looked around at the people around her: "Of course, so do you."

"Really?" The group of half-grown kids were overjoyed.

These children are very sensible and know not to trouble Luo Qingqing all the time.

When they are hungry, they will beg their beast mother to bring food to look for Luo Qingqing, just cook like her, and they will not really bother Luo Qingqing.

While chatting, everyone walked into the forest.

They spread out in groups of three or four and started to get busy.

Luo Qingqing glanced at the crowd, holding the bone knife in his hand: "Tiantian, Luoshan, let's go along the north side and see if we can find new food."

Luo Shan and Lu Tiantian didn't think much, nodded and followed her.

Yomo walked for half an hour, when he suddenly heard the sound of gurgling water.

Not far away, there should be a stream.

The three continued to walk forward, and after a stick of incense passed, a stream about three meters wide appeared in front of the three.

The clear stream, playing cheerful music, rushes forward.

Luo Qingqing pondered, this stream should be mountain spring water flowing down from the top of the mountain, find a flat place, build a reservoir, and use the bamboo knots opened to guide the water down, so that every household can use clean, clear water. mountain spring water.

Lu Tiantian raised her eyes and looked at the other side of the stream, only seeing towering trees and a dense jungle: "I don't know what kind of place is on the other side, is there enough food?"

"When we are free, let's explore in the past." Luo Qingqing also observed the surrounding environment, and suddenly found that there were densely packed sugarcane growing not far away: "Tiantian, Luoshan, you two hurry up and help me collect some sugarcane and go back. We'll have candy to eat later."

The sweet taste of maltose is really suitable for all ages.

Last time, the maltose that Luo Qingqing boiled was almost eaten.

Today, the only remaining maltose in the tribe is collected by Yunsu, and occasionally it is given to the children to sweeten their mouths.

They have been thinking about the taste for a long time, but unfortunately there are not many maltose, they can only look at it, not eat it.

Luo Shan's eyes were sharp: "Qingqing, can this sugarcane really be used to make sugar?"

"Well, after the sugarcane is squeezed into juice, not only can you make white sugar, but you can also make brown sugar. This brown sugar is very effective. Women drink it when they have menstruation, and it can relieve pain; if someone is cold, boil it for a day A bowl of ginger and brown sugar water, covering the quilt and sweating, so you don't have to worry about fever." Luo Qingqing explained, while picking up the bone knife neatly, and chopped off sugar cane.

Luo Shan licked her lips, her face full of greed: "Qingqing, let's make an agreement, you can give me more of the sugar brewed this time, and I can exchange it with food. Whether it's brown sugar, or White sugar, as long as it is sugar."

Luo Qingqing has been with her for a long time, how can she not know her temper.

Don't look at Luo Shan, who is a carefree girl, but she likes sweets very much.

Ever since I ate maltose, I have been thinking about it all the time. If there is no maltose to eat, I often go to the Qinghe River to dig reed roots to sweeten my mouth.

Not to mention Luo Shan, even Hu Xiaoyue, a big man, has a habit of sweets.

That man ate a lot of the braised pork she made last time.

It's just that this little hobby was well hidden by Hu Xiaoyue, and no one else knew about it except her.

Lu Tiantian gave Luo Shan a sideways look, and scolded with a smile: "You are the only one who is greedy!"

"I'm willing, can you control it?" Luo Shan glanced at her and replied with a smile.

The three of them were playing around while busy with the matter at hand.

Before they knew it, they felled a large field of sugar cane.

The raindrops falling from the sky are getting bigger and bigger, and it hurts even when it hits the body.

Luo Qingqing wiped the rain off his face, and stared at the sky with his hands: "Tiantian, Luoshan, the rain is getting heavier and heavier, we have to pack up and get ready to go back. It's been raining for a long time, I'm really sick, but It won't be worth it."

"Oh, yes." Luo Shan and Lu Tiantian agreed, and tore off the vines from the tree not far away to bind the sugar cane.

Luo Qingqing stepped forward to help, squinting at the stream not far away: "Seeing that the fish in the stream are very fat, we will catch a few and go home, and cook a spicy fish for lunch. Now we don't need to eat a big pot of rice, we can do whatever we want What to eat, there are not many people in the family, so I can eat a meal by the way."

When Luo Shan and Lu Tiantian heard this, their eyes lit up.

The two immediately nodded in unison, ignoring the heavy rain, rolled up their trouser legs and got into the water.

After the three of them caught a dozen fish, Luo Qingqing yelled at the other two to go ashore, passed the vine through the gills of the fish, lifted the fish in his hand, put the sugar cane on the back sling, and prepared to go back.

Lu Tiantian turned to look at the person behind her: "Qingqing, shall we go back along the original road, or go down the stream?"

"Go down the stream. I heard from Xuanmo and the others that this stream is connected to the Qinghe River. I haven't visited the open space to the north, so I'll take a walk there today." Luo Qingqing said through the rain curtain , looking down the stream.

Lu Tiandian nodded: "Okay, then let's go!"

"Hurry up, I can't wait to go back and cook the fish." Luo Shan swallowed hard and urged.

Luo Qingqing shook her head helplessly, then picked a large taro leaf and put it on her head to keep out the rain, so that her eyes would not be covered by the rain, and it was much easier to walk.

There was no road on the mountain, so they could only walk step by step carefully on the bluestones emerging from the stream. The thorns and thatch protruding from both sides of the stream scratched their skin from time to time, leaving wounds of different depths. .
