Going through ancient farming to engage in infrastructure construction

A group of people carried baskets and baskets on their backs, and carried wooden sticks into the pine forest.

When I arrived at the pine forest, I found that the trees were covered with pagoda-like pine cones. The squirrels who collected the pine cones on the trees scattered and fled when they saw people coming.

Yao Xiaoqing pointed to the kind of pine trees collected by squirrels, "Let's pick the ones from that kind of trees. The ones that squirrels like must be delicious."

A Chong Bo replied: "Okay, let's climb up and knock down the pine cone."

Yao Xiaoqing picked off a pine cone that was within reach, broke open the scale-shaped pine cone, and saw the pine nut hidden inside.

Take the pine cone and tap it in the palm of your hand a few times, and the big and plump pine nuts will fall into the palm of your hand.

Asen and Yaya saw the pine nuts in Yao Xiaoqing's hand, "Qing Gu, are the pine nuts delicious?"

Yao Xiaoqing nodded with a smile, "It's delicious, be careful when climbing trees!"

"Yeah!" The two climbed up the tree like spirit monkeys.

Yao Xiaoqing thought of the golden retriever, why hasn't this little thing been here for so long?Is it alright?Are you still in the Dawu Tribe?

If it was like before, make a phone call and send a video...

Asen threw a pine cone into the basket, interrupting Yao Xiaoqing, who also picked up the pine cone below with the bamboo basket.

The picked pine cones were spread out to dry in the courtyard dam for two days, and the fish scales on them opened.Pick up a wooden stick and hit the pine cone a few times, and the pine nuts will fall to the ground.

Yao Xiaoqing picked up one and bit it open. He felt that there was a smell of pine oil, and it still tasted green and astringent wherever he ate it, and it was crispy when it was not cooked.

Yao Xiaoqing and the others were busy picking pine cones, while Asen and Yaya stayed in the tribe, drying the pine cones, beating the pine cones, and collecting pine nuts.

Everyone has been busy in the pine forest for more than 20 days, and the pine cones collected back have covered the roof of the building.

Thinking of the livestock to be fed, Yao Xiaoqing took people into the mountain and brought back the green stick fruit that no one was eating.

Shan'am and Chun'am were still in the woods, and they found a handful of dried long beans, which looked a bit like cowpeas, and Yao Xiaoqing kept the seeds.

There is a burst of autumn rain and a burst of coolness. After ten autumn rains, winter will come.It's getting colder, and the nuts and beans in the mountains have been swept away by people, and there are no more people going up the mountain.

Yao Xiaoqing took Uncle A Chong to the river, found a few round stones among those strangely shaped stone piles, carried them back, and planned to chisel them and grind them out to grind those nuts.

The sugarcane in the field should also be kept warm to avoid freezing to death.The radishes in the radish fields have grown up, and you can already see white and tender radishes.

All taro stalks are cut off and made into dried vegetables.

The young pumpkin vines were picked off, and the old vines were cut off to fertilize. Everyone was too busy to touch the ground.

People in the Yaoshan tribe no longer went out to collect nuts, and Muba took a dozen people with dry food to hunt for food in farther places.

Ah Chong and Ah Shui were busy reinforcing the firewood shed, and the pheasants and ducks rushed to the pen to feed them.

The house in the tribe is almost finished, Ah Chun and the others lead people to build a kang, paint the walls, and harden the ground.

The women stayed in the tribe and were busy making fur clothes for winter, as well as thin-skin underwear and fur cushions designed by Yao Xiaoqing.

Yao Xiaoqing found that the fibers they used this time were different from the previous ones, and they were a little yellow.

The thread is made of two strands of fiber, which is as thick as the thread used for sewing quilts in later generations.

She touched it and it was still soft, but when she took one and pulled it, she found that it was so tough that it took a lot of force to break it.A flash of inspiration came to her mind, she should be able to weave cloth with this!
Looking at the rolled twine on the kang, "Shan Amu, when did you get this thing?"

Shan Amu laughed and said, "Ah Yun found out and made it. It should be enough to make winter clothes."

Yao Xiaoqing thought for a while, but she didn't see Yun'am doing it!
"What did Yun Amu use to make it?"

Shan Amu looked up at her, "She said that the ones made from kudzu bark are much better than the ones we used before."

Yao Xiaoqing nodded, "Yes! It's softer than the previous one!" Ge vine, Ge cloth, is it possible that the ancient Ge cloth was woven from kudzu fiber?Later, I will ask Yun Amu, how did you make it?

Seeing how they struggled to mend with bone needles, Yao Xiaoqing went back and took out the sewing box from his backpack.It was a square red box with a cloth cover and a little bigger than a powder box.

Yao Xiaoqing gently stroked the sewing box, tears fell down involuntarily.After a while, I opened the zipper of the box, took out the plastic box containing the needle and thread, twisted it, and took out a thick needle from inside.

Put away the sewing box, took the thick needle and went to the East Wing to give it to Shan Amu.

"Em, this is for you to sew winter clothes."

Shan Amu took it over and saw that it was a shining bone needle. She looked at her in surprise, "Xiaoqing, is this given to you by the gods?"

Yao Xiaoqing had no choice but to nod, "Yeah! Use this faster, I'll go find Yun Amu."

Shan'am replied respectfully: "Yes, Qingwu."

Yao Xiaoqing found Amu Yun and told her why she came.

Amu Yun smiled, "Achong and the others cut off the kudzu vines that were piled there. The thin ones were used to tie the duck sheds, and the thick ones were piled there. Hua and I thought about peeling off the vine bark and twisting it into ropes."

"After opening it, I found out that the rattan bark that was torn off after being soaked by rainwater could only be torn into thin strips. It was said that it was suitable for sewing winter clothes. We both soaked it all in the ditch. , tore it off and twisted it into a thin rope."

"Oh!" Yao Xiaoqing suddenly realized that it was made by accident, and he had to wait until the kudzu vines were cut next year.

Oyster ash and red bricks are enough, and the dozen or so kilns are also empty.Yao Xiaoqing led people to start burning charcoal, put the green bars into the kiln chamber, and after burning red, blocked all the vent holes of the kiln with clay, and the charcoal could be taken out the next day.

The next day, Mu Feng and the others who went out to hunt came back.

More than a dozen people brought back a lot of prey, such as deer, roe deer, wild boar... Yao Xiaoqing's favorite was the few Chinese cabbages brought back by Mu Feng, which were not tightly wrapped and held loosely in his hands.

"Brother, where did you find this? Is there more?"

Mu Feng thought for a while, "There are not many of them in the mountain caves that I have to walk for a day in the past, so I brought these few back."

Yao Xiaoqing decided to go there to have a look, "Tomorrow I will go with you."

Mu Feng nodded cheerfully, "Okay!"

At night, Yao Xiaoqing told Yaohu about hunting with Mu Feng and the others.He looked at her and said worriedly: "It will take four or five days to go back and forth, and the journey is very difficult."

Yao Xiaoqing smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, I want to see if there are other seeds there."

Seeing that she must go, Yaohu had to tell Mu Feng to take good care of his sister.

Early the next morning, Yao Xiaoqing brought a solar flashlight, herbs, panax notoginseng, salt, and a kettle, put on the newly made short leather pants, and followed Mufeng and the others to the south of the mountain.

Walking along the river, the dense bushes have become sparse, and the wild ducks and water birds have disappeared.At noon, everyone ate dried meat by the river and started to go up the mountain.
