Going through ancient farming to engage in infrastructure construction

Chapter 131 Chapter 131
Only then did everyone understand.Yao Xiaoqing nodded and smiled, "No wonder he was not stabbed to death, good! We have pigs to feed."

"Qinggu, is the boar also taken out to graze?" Asen asked curiously.

Yao Xiaoqing shook his head, "No need, let's wash the dishes and pots of water, add some pumpkin peel and grass to feed it."

Yao Xiaoqing and Ah Chong sent the piglet to the pen and put it in the pen. They saw it lying there and humming weakly.

Ah Shui went to pick up some hay and put it in the wooden trough, looking at the little pig, she was a little worried, "Xiaoqing, do you think it can be fed?"

Yao Xiaoqing had no experience in this field, so she shook her head and said, "I don't know, let Shan Amu cook the pumpkin skin and feed it later, try to see if it can feed it?"

Achong is optimistic about raising wild boars, "Ah Shui, let's try it out. Look at those wild ducks, hares, cattle and goats, don't we raise them too? The weather is getting warmer, we have to net some ducks and come back keep it."

Ah Shui shook his head, "Go now, the duckling is not there yet!"

Yao Xiaoqing looked at the two of them, "Uncle Chong, the genius is getting better, let's open the land first, and then catch wild ducks in time."

Ah Chong nodded, "Okay, let's go back to eat food first, peel off the pig skin after eating, give some to Ah Yun, and then go to the farm."

The three returned to the cafeteria to eat food, Yao Xiaoqing arranged the manpower for work, and said to Yuzi and Hua: "You two go to the bamboo forest with me to dig bamboo shoots."

"Xiaoqing," Yuzi looked at her, "What are bamboo shoots? Can I eat them too?"

"It's just the tender bamboo that has just emerged from the ground in the bamboo forest."

Yao Xiaoqing turned her head and said to Yun Amu, "Amu, you save a piece of pork belly, let's eat roasted pork with bamboo shoots in the afternoon."

Ah Shui's eyes lit up, "Xiaoqing, if the bamboo shoots are edible, you can bring back a lot from that bamboo forest."

Yao Xiaoqing looked at him, "We can get a lot back, but we can't dig up all the bamboo shoots, we have to dig out those that grow densely, and the bamboo grows thicker."

"Yes, we're useless if we don't dig it out." Ah Shui thought of the potholes made by wild animals in the bamboo forest when he went to chop bamboo, "Xiaoqing, I think it's better to let Uncle Chong accompany you. There are also wild animals."

"That's fine, Hualiu stays in the tribe and Amu and the others take the taro seeds and the seeds from the cave to the courtyard dam to dry." Yao Xiaoqing turned to look at A Shui, "Let's bring some food, Mr Shui In the afternoon, a few more people will come and carry baskets to the bamboo forest to carry bamboo shoots."

"Okay." The two nodded.

Yao Xiaoqing, Asu, and Achong walked towards the bamboo forest with their baskets and bamboo tubes on their backs, and a stone pick on their shoulders.The three of them stepped on the soft rotten soil in the forest, only to see that the withered trees had revived, and the grass sprouted tender yellow buds from the loose soil.

From these signs, the belated spring has come.

After such a cold winter, there is no almanac reference.Yao Xiaoqing didn't know whether the weather would be good or bad.Soldiers can only be blocked, and water and soil can be used to cover them.

After walking for about two hours, the three arrived at the bamboo forest.

Looking at the still verdant bamboo forest, Yao Xiaoqing has a feeling that things are right and people are wrong.He approached a bamboo, picked a young leaf, put it across his lips, and blew out a crisp and pleasant bird song.

After hearing this, Yuzi also picked off a bamboo leaf, puffed her cheeks and blew vigorously a few times, but no sound came out, "Xiaoqing, why did you make a sound?"

"I'll teach you," Yao Xiaoqing walked over and picked off a tender bamboo leaf, and handed it to her, "If you want a tender bamboo leaf, hold the two ends of the bamboo leaf, straighten it, put it horizontally on your lips, and blow it gently It will make a sound."

Yuzi tried it according to Yao Xiaoqing's teaching, and the bamboo leaves made a sound of "噗, 噗, 噗."

After hearing this, Uncle Chong laughed, pointed at the tender yellow bamboo shoots protruding from the soil and said, "Xiaoqing, is that a bamboo shoot?"

Yao Xiaoqing gave Ah Chong a thumbs up, "Yes, that's bamboo shoots, just dig this kind of bright yellow ones, such bamboo shoots are fresh and tender!"

"Okay, the bamboo forest is so big, let's not go away." Ah Chong told the two of them.

No one has ever dug in the bamboo forest, and as far as I can see, there are plump, tender yellow shoots everywhere.

"Okay!" The two put down their baskets, found a bamboo shoot and dug it up.

Digging things with a stone hoe is really troublesome, and it takes more than twice as much effort to use a stone hoe to solve things that can be solved with a few hoes in later generations.

Yuzi picked up a bamboo shoot, shook off the soil, and looked at the white tender meat exposed from the broken part of the bamboo shoot, "Xiaoqing, can bamboo shoots only be cooked with pork belly?"

Yao Xiaoqing smiled, "Let's go back and try a few more ways to eat, and you'll know." She swung her stone hoe and dug vigorously.

Yuzi nodded, "I like our pickled sauerkraut, it's delicious no matter how you eat it!"

"Okay, let's try pickling some sour bamboo shoots!"

After hearing this, Ah Chong laughed and said, "You two only talk about food, don't you feel hungry?"

Yao Xiaoqing glanced at Ah Chong, "Uncle Chong, there is jerky in the basket when you're hungry!"

Ah Chong laughed and said, "Not hungry! You two just need to eat."

Yuzi and Yao Xiaoqing both laughed.

The three of them were busy for a long time, and the bamboo shoots dug up had already filled three baskets, and there were still piles on the ground.

Yao Xiaoqing sat down on the ground, rubbing her sore wrist, "I can't do it, I want to rest for a while."

Yuzi walked over distressed, took off the bamboo tube and dried meat hanging on the bamboo, and handed it to her, "Xiaoqing, drink some water, eat some food, and take a good rest."

"Thank you!" Yao Xiaoqing took the bamboo tube and jerky, drank a few sips, and saw the two of them still digging hard, "Yaozi, Uncle Chong, take a break too." !"

Ah Chong shook his head cheerfully, "We're not tired, just take a break and just pick up the bamboo shoots and put them in a pile."

Yao Xiaoqing sat for a while, but was embarrassed to sit down any more, and got up to pick up the bamboo shoots on the ground and put them in a pile.

Suddenly, she felt a thorn in her back.Looking up, I saw four bearded, short, and filthy men walking towards this side through several long bamboos with stone knives.

The four of them stared at Yuzi and her with unspeakable disgust in their eyes.

"Uncle Chong," Yao Xiaoqing called out, jumping to Yuzi's side.The two showed nervous expressions when they saw the four people walking out of the bamboo dragon.

Seeing that Yao Xiaoqing and the other three had discovered them, the four laughed wildly at them.

Two of them pointed at Yuzi and Yao Xiaoqing, and said "Wow, wow" in a language they couldn't understand, and they were full of malice from their eye movements.

"They are savages, Xiaoqing, taro, get behind me." Uncle Chong clenched the stone hoe in his hand, and blocked in front of the two of them with his thin body.

"I'm not afraid!" Yuzi's face turned pale, and the hand holding the stone hoe trembled slightly, "Xiaoqing, hide behind us."

Yao Xiaoqing smiled faintly, "You two deal with one, and I will deal with the others."
