Going through ancient farming to engage in infrastructure construction

Chapter 193 Chapter 193
At night, Yao Xiaoqing lay on the animal skin, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

When I woke up the next day, my whole body was sore and I didn't even want to move. I had to cut ramie with a sickle.

Yao Xiaoqing moved her hands and feet, and set off with the women of the collection team.

With a dozen or so people, she cut off the ramie seeds and put them in the basket.

Shan Amu led more than a dozen people to harvest hemp stalks, pluck off the ramie leaves, cut off the ramie stalks in bundles, tied them up, carried them back and piled them in front of the cave.

Mufeng took the fish and Lu and the others, and led the oxen to carry the hemp stalks and kudzu vines back to the tribe, and soaked them in the pond.

Dozens of people worked in the Shenmu tribe for three or four days before getting all the ramie and chestnuts back to the tribe.

Yao Xiaoqing looked at the mountains of pumpkins, yams, kudzu roots, and baskets of chestnuts piled up in the cave.

She thought of the millet, beans, pinto beans, dried meat, dried vegetables, and the soon-to-harvest millet in the warehouse at the foot of the mountain, and felt that even if the winter was longer, she didn't have to worry about running out of food.

The walls of the houses of the Qingshan Tribe have already been built as high as a person, and the roof will be capped in less than two days.

The millet in the field can be harvested in a few days.

After going down the mountain, Yao Xiaoqing found Dashi and asked him to forge some thin iron knives.

Early the next morning, let Achong and the others fish the hemp stalks out of the pond.

After soaking the ramie stalks for a few days, the green skin on the top has begun to rot, and a sour smell hits the nostrils.

Yao Xiaoqing picked up a ramie stalk, picked out a head at the root of the ramie stalk with a bamboo knife, and then tore it hard to the end, and a piece of ramie skin was easily torn off.

Next, put the ramie skin on a long wooden board. After aligning the knife with your right hand, gently pull the ramie skin with your left hand. The ramie skin makes a "hoo hoo" sound under the thin knife.

Yao Xiaoqing frantically scraped a few times before scraping off the green skin on a piece of ramie skin, revealing the whitish ramie silk inside.

After the shaved ramie silk is hung on the bamboo pole to dry, it will be split into fine hemp silk when it is free.

Everyone watched Yao Xiaoqing peel off a few ramie husks, and then began to peel the ramie. At first, they were a little flustered, but after peeling off a few ramie husks, they became proficient in their movements.

Peeling the ramie is easy, but it is much more difficult to scrape the ramie. Improper force often breaks the ramie skin.After scraping more than a dozen of them in succession, the movements became neat.

Yao Xiaoqing found that after they learned it, their movements were much more agile than hers, and said with a smile: "Teaching apprentices, master starved to death, I'd better go drying the hemp silk."

Shanam looked at her cheerfully, "Go! You have been tired for several days, go play for a while."

"I hang the ramie thread upstairs."

Yao Xiaoqing was drying the ramie upstairs, and turned her head to see the persimmon tree outside the wall.Suddenly thinking of the persimmons in the jar, he hurried back and lifted the jar to the yard, only to find that the persimmons in the jar had rotted into a lump.

"Oh! What a disappointment, a good persimmon is ruined like this."

Yao Xiaoqing carried the pot to the compost pond behind, poured the chaff and rotten persimmons into it, cleaned the pot by the ditch, and walked back carrying it.

Halfway there, she saw Pig and Douzi standing in the alley, sticky, so she turned around and wanted to leave.

"Xiaoqing, what are you doing with a jar?" She said with a blushing face.

Douzi turned around and saw Yao Xiaoqing, his face was like blood spurting, red up to the ears, "Xiaoqing, I..."

"I'm going to dump some rubbish in the compost pool, you two don't mind me." Yao Xiaoqing ran away in embarrassment.

Seeing Yao Xiaoqing running like a jackal chasing her, Douzi kicked pig angrily, "It's all your fault!" Then he turned and left.

She looked at her back, scratched her head, muttered a few words, then turned and walked towards the refining room.

Dou Zi returned to the open space next to the cafeteria, found Yao Xiaoqing, blushed and said, "Xiaoqing, I..."

Yao Xiaoqing looked at her with a smile, "Leave me alone, and I will pair you up when Su Gu receives it. Hurry up and go to work now."

"Hey!" Douzi blushed, picked up the ramie stalk and peeled it off.

As the sun went down, Jiang Li, Mu Feng and a dozen people walked in carrying five wild boars.Good guy, he is fat and strong, and the biggest wild boar probably weighs five or six hundred catties.

Mu Feng roared: "Mum, it's been a long time since I ate pork intestines and roasted taro. I'll eat roasted intestines at night."

Jiang Li looked at him in surprise, "Mu Feng, can pig intestines be delicious? How smelly!"

"You haven't even eaten braised large intestine!" Mu Feng looked at Jiang Li like a country bumpkin, "Even if you eat it once, you want to eat it a second time!"

Yaya came out from the cafeteria, "Wow! Such a fat wild boar, I haven't caught a wild boar for a long time, Uncle Mufeng, where did you catch it?"

Mu Feng smiled triumphantly, "Five were hit in a valley, and two ran away."

Amu Yun said with a smile, "Hurry up and break open the pig's belly to get out the large intestine. We'll wash it, and Amu will do it for you."

"Okay!" Mu Feng and Jiang Li carried the wild boar to the stone slab beside the vegetable field.Jiang Li and Mu Feng opened up the belly with machetes, while Mu Ba and Leopard cleaned up the contents of the pig's stomach.

Suet, flower oil, pork loin and liver, pork belly, large intestine and small intestine are all put into wooden basins separately.

Spear and Wolf chopped the meat into strips, scalded the hair on the pig's head and legs with boiling water, scraped and washed it, and then burned it to clean it and scraped it again.

Yun Amu put the pig's head into a jar, blanched and cleaned it, put bay leaf, grass, ginger, pepper, chili, and scallion and boiled it in a marinade.Chop the pork legs into small pieces, put them in water and put them in a pot, then put soybeans and ginger rice to stew.

Hua and the woman from the food team carried the pig's internal organs, cleaned them, blanched them in water, stir-fried them, added bay leaves... and braised them in brown sauce.

When the meal was ready, Jiang Li looked at the pork intestines that were roasted with taro, and tried to pick up a chopstick. The taro was soft and glutinous, and the large intestine was soft and chewy, but there was no peculiar smell.

Mu Feng watched Jiang Li pick it several times in a row, and looked at him with a smile, "It's delicious! We used to throw away the contents of the pork belly, but after Xiaoqing cooked it for us, everyone liked it."

Jiang Li nodded honestly, "Yeah! It tastes good, and I like it too. Stewed soybeans with pig's head meat and pig's feet are also delicious." He sneaked a glance at Yao Xiaoqing, how could she know everything?

Amu Yun said with a smile: "Boss Jiangli, we have also refined lard. When you move back, bring a jar back."

Heiba ​​grimaced, "Boss Yaohu, we don't want to go back to eat. We will cook some wild boars for you later, okay?"

Yaohu laughed after hearing this, "Okay! Then we have taken advantage of it."

Everyone laughed.A dark and pretty woman from Qingshan Tribe secretly kicked Heiba.

Heiba ​​glared at her, "Qiu, why are you kicking me?"

The woman pretended not to hear, and ate her head down.

After eating overnight food and lighting a bonfire, Yao Xiaoqing thought that it was going to be cool in autumn, so he asked Uncle A Chong and the others to marinate the meat with salt.

Dozens of women peeled the ramie and scraped the ramie. They worked until midnight before peeling off all the ramie, scraping the ramie and drying it upstairs.
