Going through ancient farming to engage in infrastructure construction

The next day, the snow stopped, and the sky was still gloomy, with no sign of clearing up.

Mu Feng said to Yao Xiaoqing: "Xiaoqing, there is a thick layer of ice on the pond, standing on it, you can see fish swimming under the water."

Yao Xiaoqing thinks of the northerners, who dig ice and net fish every winter. When she thinks of those big fish, her eyes light up, "Brother, let's go to the river to catch fish."

Mu Feng shook his head and said, "The ice layer is so thick, what can we use to cut it open?"

Yao Xiaoqing smiled and said, "That shovel of mine! The pickaxe on it is for chiseling hard things."

"Okay! I haven't eaten fresh fish for a long time, I'll go and call the pig, let's go together." After finishing speaking, he hurried away.

Yao Xiaoqing shouted at him, "I'll wait for you in the cafeteria with a shovel."

Wooden Wind waved his hand.

Yao Xiaoqing took Yaya and Asen, followed Mufeng, pig and Xiongniu, carrying wooden barrels, engineering shovels and nets to the river.

Mufeng wielded the engineering shovel, and several people took turns using picks to chisel hard on the river for more than half an hour before digging out an ice hole the size of a washbasin.

Yao Xiaoqing looked at the ice layer and felt that it was at least tens of centimeters thick.

As soon as the ice hole was dug, fish jumped out of the water and landed on the ice with crackling noises.

Asen and Yaya jumped up, "Qinggu, hurry up, the fish jumped up."

"Stand apart, you two, be careful to fall into the ice cave." Yao Xiaoqing greeted the two little guys, threw away the net and went to catch fish.

Mu Feng pulled her away, "Xiao Qing, don't move, you will be in trouble if you fall into the river."

Yao Xiaoqing looked at him angrily, "Brother, you are going too far! My idea, don't let me catch you when it comes."

She smiled and said: "We are afraid that you will fall, look how good Yaya and Asen are!"

Xiong Niu made up the knife at the side, "Yes! Xiaoqing, you fell, who will cook the fish for us!"

Yao Xiaoqing snorted coldly, "If you don't catch fish for me, I won't cook fish for you either."

The pig was chasing a big fish, slipped, and slipped away with a sizzling sound.Seeing him baring his teeth and refusing to let go while holding the big fish, everyone laughed happily.

"Look, Aunt Qing, golden retriever, golden retriever!" Yaya pointed at the one running towards the river, and the golden-yellow group shouted.

Yao Xiaoqing turned her head and saw that it was indeed a golden retriever. She smiled and waved at it, "Golden retriever, we are here!"

The golden retriever quickly ran to Yao Xiaoqing, jumped up and grabbed her hand, and looked at her with a smile.

A Sen pointed at the golden retriever in amazement, "Look, it can still laugh!"

Yao Xiaoqing nodded with a smile, looked at the frayed hair on its head and neck, and rubbed its head, "Little thing, why haven't you been here for so long, are you tied up?"

The golden retriever looked at Yao Xiaoqing and squeaked twice.

"Hungry! Go back and get you something to eat. There are not many eggs left. You can't be picky eaters."

The golden retriever squeaked twice as if he understood.

After a while, the wooden barrel was full of fish, and even the net was also full.

Xiong Niu said to Mu Feng: "Send the fish back, I'll dig a hole in the ice and call a few more people, so we can get more fish back."

Mu Feng nodded and Yao Xiaoqing carried the fish back to the tribe together.

Achong and the others saw that they could get fish even in the ice and snow, so a dozen of them went to the river with wooden barrels.

Yao Xiaoqing fried a duck egg and chestnut pancake for Jin Mao, and seeing it gobble it up, he knew it was starving.

Mu Feng and the others took turns catching fish by the river for two days. Yao Xiaoqing estimated that at least several hundred catties of fish were buried in the snowdrift at the entrance of the cafeteria.

The stone mill has been chiseled, and when the mill rod is pushed for a while, the wooden shaft embedded in the millstone keeps loosening.

Thinking of isinglass, Yao Xiaoqing took out the dried swim bladder, soaked it in warm water until soft, cut it into small pieces with scissors, poured it into a jar and soaked it for a day.

Seeing that the swim bladder has turned white and soft, take it out and drain the water, pour it into a basin and steam it for half an hour.Pulled it out and found it was sticky.

Pour the fish maw into the mortar and pound it. Yao Xiaoqing and Hua took turns pounding it for half a day before they pounded the fish maw into a paste, poured it into the gauze cloth, put it in a bowl and heated it, and squeezed out the glue .

Yao Xiaoqing smeared the glue in the bowl on the wooden shaft and found that the isinglass dried quickly.She held the wooden shaft with her hand, shook it vigorously a few times, and found that the wooden shaft no longer shook.

After the grinding disc is put back, push the grinding rod, and the wooden shaft will not fall off.

After Yaohu saw it, he took the glue to stick arrowheads and arrow feathers, and found that it was better than gum, and asked people to collect all the swim bladders.

As the days passed, the consumption of firewood was also quite serious.Single people live together again to save firewood.

Yao Xiaoqing took out her notepad and found that another month had passed in a flash.The weather still shows no signs of warming up. If it gets colder, the cattle and sheep will have no grass to eat.

At that time, the collapsed thatch can only be removed and used to feed livestock after drying.

Pueraria powder and Poria powder have been eaten, and there is not much pumpkin left.Yao Xiaoqing took them to peel off the green stick fruit and chestnuts, fry them and grind them into powder. The powder from the green stick fruit was bitter and astringent.

Yao Xiaoqing thought for a while, and used the method of making kudzu root powder, soaking the powder in water, stirring and draining the water, and found that the bitter taste was not so strong.After repeated soaking and filtering several times, it was spread out on the kang to dry.

After drying, steam the pancakes with chestnut flour, the taste is not bad.

Thinking of rice jelly and rice bean curd, Yao Xiaoqing tried to use Qinggangguo powder, stirred the jelly twice, and felt that the taste was not bad after tasting it.

Qinggangguo tofu, greengangguo and chestnut powder pancakes, eat different patterns every day, and everyone thinks it is good.Yao Xiaoqing is lucky to have saved so much food, otherwise he would have started eating those seeds long ago.

Several of the matched women were already pregnant. While everyone was happy, they hoped that the weather would turn sunny and warm soon.

After another half a month, the sun finally came out.

Yao Xiaoqing took everyone to carry the wild garlic and leek boxes outside the cafeteria to bask in the sun.

*****
Outside the wall, Lei led a group of people down the mountain, and when they went down the mountain, they saw the high ice wall.

Mu Kui looked up, "Boss, you can't get in here."

Lei looked at the ice wall and shook his head, "Go, go down the path and have a look."

A group of people walked down the mountain cautiously and saw a tall and long ice wall.

Lei led the people down the ice wall.

A Chong and A Lin were guarding the gate. They were in the room when they heard a knock on the door. They hurriedly picked up the stone knife and walked to the door.

Ah Chong asked loudly, "Who?"

A man's voice sounded, "We belong to another tribe, the snow is too heavy, and the hut collapsed, please let us in to keep warm!"

"It hasn't snowed in the past two days! Where did the snow collapse the thatched shed?"

Ah Chong crawled into the crack of the door, and saw a group of tightly packed people standing in the dark outside, with weapons in their hands standing at the door.He hastily winked at Alin, and Alin hurried to call the patrollers.
