Going through ancient farming to engage in infrastructure construction

Chapter 162 Chapter 162

Yaohu smiled and picked up a steamed stuffed bun, "Okay, let me try the fresh food made by Xiaoqing."

"Fragrant! Soft! There are bacon and pinto beans in it. It's delicious! My daughter is really capable! Everyone, try it!"

Yao Xiaoqing blushed, "Father, everyone is going to laugh at you."

Dashi smiled and said, "Our Xiaoqing is very capable."

"Yes," Mu Feng nodded repeatedly, took a steamed bun and put it in her bowl, "Xiao Qing, you can eat it too!"

Everyone stretched out their hands to the steamed stuffed bun, and there were admiration sounds in the cafeteria one after another.

Yao Xiaoqing took a bite of the steamed stuffed bun, drank a mouthful of millet porridge, and fried sour bamboo shoots with oil residue, feeling that this day has improved again.

Achong and the others had machetes and axes, and they were able to get twice the result with half the effort. They quickly cut down the woods enclosed outside the southern wall.

Ah Chong led his people to the woods north of the wall, and it was the golden autumn season not long after the construction started.

Everyone stopped felling and started picking pumpkins.Baskets of golden pumpkins were picked up the mountain and put into the cave for storage.

The Qiushan Daji has also started. Yao Xiaoqing is going to see if other places are dry. Is there any rice in the Daji?By the way, bring some pumpkins to exchange for some yams, kudzu root, millet and beans.

After hearing this, Yaohu thought for a while, and thought it would be good to let her go out to have a look, and said: "Let your elder brother, Dashi, Muba, wolf, leopard, Quan, and Dayang accompany you to Qiushan Daji."

"Passing Yaoshan, you must be careful of Huoli. He is small-minded and jealous. He has been blocked several times but has not succeeded. We have taken away so many people. He must be waiting for us halfway."

Yao Xiaoqing raised her eyebrows and said with a smile: "Father, you don't have to worry, it's fine if you don't meet him. If I meet him, I will definitely teach him a lesson."

Yaohu was furious, and glared at her, "Going out is different from the tribe, you must be careful."

Yao Xiaoqing nodded honestly, "Understood, I must be careful." She knew that he was not really angry, but just worried that something might happen to her recklessly.

After the hunting team came back, Yaohu told the Mubas about Yao Xiaoqing's plan to go to Qiushan Daji, and asked them to accompany Yao Xiaoqing to Qiushan Daji.

Mu Feng was the happiest when he heard that he was going to Qiushan Daji, "Father, we will bring your newly made scimitar to make sure to beat the crap out of Huo Li."

Yaohu patted him angrily, and said to Dashi, "Take care of them and don't let him cause trouble."

Dashi smiled and nodded, "I'll definitely keep him in check."

Mu Feng was not angry either, and went to prepare food for the road with a smile.

Yao Xiaoqing asked Uncle Chong to hurry up and make four panniers, weaved eight large bamboo baskets, and filled them with hay.When walking, put the pumpkin inside and tie it to the back of the ox, so that people will not be so tired.

After going back, after thinking about it, I went to find Hua again, and asked her to make a few cushions out of animal skins with holes, stuff them with rushes, and put them on the ox's back, so as not to make the pack frame too hard. The skin is scratched.

After a day's work, everyone prepared the racks, mats, and baskets.

Yao Xiaoqing packed up and saluted, and took the frying pan to look for Yaohu, "Father, try casting two large iron pans to cook food and stir-fry vegetables, it will be much faster and save firewood."

"Big iron pot!" Yaohu held the frying pan, "I'll think of a way to see if I can make it."

Yao Xiaoqing thought for a while, "I think we should make the mold first, and then pour molten iron into the mold to shape it."

Yaohu nodded, "Okay, you go! I'll find a way slowly."

Yao Xiaoqing led people to pick some medium-sized round melons and calf melons, put them into bamboo baskets, and carried them to the duty room at the gate, ready to leave early the next morning.

Yao Xiaoqing woke up just after dawn, put on his clothes, and went out with his luggage to see Yaohu standing in the yard, "Father, why are you up so early!"

Yaohu looked at her with a smile, "It's getting late, it's already dawn." His son and daughter were going on a long trip, and he was a little worried, tossing and turning all night, unable to sleep.

Seeing his tired look, Yao Xiaoqing felt distressed, walked over to look at him, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, we'll be back soon."

Yaohu rubbed her head, nodded with a smile, "Okay, Father will wait for you to come back."

Mu Feng rubbed his eyes, pulled his shoes and came out of the house, "Father, Xiaoqing, you guys wake up so early?"

Yaohu patted him lightly, "Stinky boy, I asked you to take care of my sister, look at you, you don't get up earlier than her."

Mu Feng nodded and said, "Father, don't worry, I will take good care of my sister."

"Yeah!" Yaohu looked at the two of them, "Go! Go wash your face, let's go to the cafeteria to eat food."

The family of three arrived at the cafeteria, Yun'am had already prepared the food, everyone had breakfast and was ready to go.

Hua put the boiled salted duck eggs, dried meat, fried pancakes, corn, pinto beans, and ginger into a basket, and handed them to Mu Feng and the others to carry.

Everyone sent them to the gate, put the pack frame wrapped with leather mats on the back of the ox, and then put the bamboo basket on the pack frame and tied it.

Take the cow grass out and put it on the cow's back.

Shan smiled and said, "Yes! Xiaoqing's method is good. One ox can carry more loads than two people."

Yaohu nodded triumphantly, "She has a lot of ideas in her mind, all of which are beyond our imagination."

Yao Xiaoqing said with a smile: "Father, you go back! No need to send it off, we will be back soon."

Leopard smiled and patted Mu Feng's shoulder, "Leader, don't worry, we will protect Xiao Qing and Mu Feng."

Mu Feng dissatisfied: "I am a warrior, I don't need your protection."

"Okay," Yaohu smiled and waved his hands, "Warriors, let's go!"

Yao Xiaoqing waved at them, turned around and said, "Let's go."

Muba, Leopard, Quan, and Dayang took the ox rope, waved their whip lightly, and walked up the mountain.

Yaohu and the others stood at the gate, watched them climb up the hillside, and did not turn back until they could no longer see anyone.

With oxen helping to carry things, everyone was much more relaxed along the way.

On the second day, Dashi and the others found that the creek that used to have water had dried up on a slightly higher ground.Water sources can only be found in low-lying places.

A group of people led the cows and stood on a hill, looking at the withered and yellow weeds in the forest, Dashi was a little worried, "Xiaoqing, it seems that it's not just our place that hasn't rained."

Yao Xiaoqing nodded, "Fortunately, the ditch on our mountain has never been cut off."

"Yes!" Dashi looked at the surrounding environment, "Xiaoqing, we will soon reach Yaoshan Mountain, should we go around and pass by the Antelope Tribe, or Yaoshan?"

Yao Xiaoqing pondered for a moment, "Go around the Antelope Tribe first, and then pass Yaoshan when you come back. We can't keep avoiding them like this."

Mu Feng nodded again and again, "Xiaoqing, maybe Huoli has sent someone to wait for us near Mount Yao."

Leopard said: "Then let's fight with them."

Dashi and the others nodded, "Yes, it's not even good to avoid them, everyone just do it together."
