Going through ancient farming to engage in infrastructure construction

Chapter 20 20 Slate BBQ
Everyone squatted there and watched for a long time.

Yaohu pointed to the house, looked at Yao Xiaoqing, "This is like a cave," and pointed to the wall, "This can stop the giant bears and the others from entering the cave, right?"

"Yes, that's what it means."

Yaohu thought for a while, looked at Shan and Dashi, "What do you think of what Xiaoqing said?"

Dashi and the others understood what the house and the wall were for after Yaohu said that. Looking at the wall, which was much higher than the house, they also felt that it could resist other tribes.

Shan said: "Leader, Xiaoqing is chosen by the gods, we will listen to Xiaoqing."

After hearing this, Yaohu stood up and looked at everyone, "Okay, let's listen to Xiaoqing and build houses and walls."

Yao Xiaoqing looked at them, "Father, we have no food, we can't all build houses at home, we need to allocate manpower for hunting. Father, how do you think the manpower should be allocated?"

Yaohu took a look at everyone and said: "Mufeng, pig, Xiongniu, continue hunting, Hua, Shan'am, and Yun'am collect wild vegetables, look for duck eggs and wild bird eggs, and prepare food. Dashi, Shandai and I Let Uncle Shui and Uncle Chong follow Xiaoqing to build a house at home. We practice archery skills at night."

"Yes, leader." Everyone responded in unison.

Yaohu said loudly: "Come on, let's skin the goat first, and dry the meat for storage."

"Yes." Everyone hurried to work.

Zhi and Shan peeled the sheepskin, while Uncle Shui and Uncle Chong disemboweled the wild boar, took out the internal organs, and left the pig heart, liver and others for Amu Shan and Amu Yun to throw away.

"Shan Amu," Yao Xiaoqing hurriedly called to stop the two of them.Shan Amu looked at her, "Xiaoqing, you can't eat these things."

Yao Xiaoqing pointed to the pile of viscera, "The large and small intestines can be eaten after washing, and the pork belly, small belly, and pig lung can all be eaten. Suet and flower oil can be refined."

"These things can be eaten!" Both Amu Shan and Amu Yun laughed, "Xiaoqing, teach us, what a pity to throw away edible things!"

Yao Xiaoqing nodded with a smile, "Okay, let's take these to the ditch, light a bonfire there, and wash things accordingly."

There was no Shake Kei and pots to hold the internal organs, so Yao Xiaoqing had to take out a basket, and said to Yaohu and Dashi who were watching Mu Feng and the others peeling their skins: "Father, hurry up and dig out some pots and buckets!"

Yaohu nodded cheerfully, "Okay, okay! Let's dig now."

The three lit a pile of firewood by the ditch, and Yao Xiaoqing led the two to clean the internal organs.

I washed the large and small intestines over and over several times, rubbed them with plant ash twice, and put them in the basket.

The pig's lungs are filled with water, rubbed and cleaned repeatedly until no blood is visible, the pig's belly and small belly are scraped and cleaned, and put together with the large and small intestines. After the clay pot is boiled twice, the smell will disappear.

After washing the flower oil and suet, we still have to wait for the earthen pot. Yao Xiaoqing began to pray that the earthen pot would not burn out, otherwise it would be a waste of work

Yun Amu and Shan Amu learned how to wash the goat. After the goat was disembowelled, they took the internal organs to the ditch for cleaning.

Uncle Shui and Uncle Chong spread the leather with wooden sticks and leaned against the cliff and put it away. Mu Feng and Zhu cut off the fat and put it aside, and put the lean meat on the stone slab. strip.

Yao Xiaoqing knows that there is no salt in the tribe except for a bag of salt in his bag, and this method of storing meat can prevent it from rotting.

There are two barter activities in Qiushan every year. People use the roasted meat of a sheep or five sheepskins to exchange for a bamboo tube full of impurities in the Wuxian tribe.

For small tribes like the Yaoshan tribe, salt is a very precious thing. When there is a shortage of salt, they will eat raw meat and drink the blood of their prey to supplement the salt needed by their bodies.

Yao Xiaoqing felt that there must be salt mines where the Wuxian tribe lived, but they didn’t know if it was rock salt or natural brine underground?If it is rock salt, can it be found elsewhere?
Yao Xiaoqing suddenly thought of gallnuts that he ate in the mountains before, and everyone called it the salt tree, because there was a white layer on the fruit, which also had a salty taste.The elders in the village said that they used to pick gallnuts and cook salt at home in winter when they had no money to buy salt.

It's spring now, and those gallnuts at the foot of the mountain can't get any salt!

Another way is to see where the animals lick and lick, there will be salt, this is only for Mu Feng and the others to pay attention to.

Sitting on the stone, Yao Xiaoqing saw the meat sizzling on the slate, and the smell of meat came straight into his nose.Thinking of the barbecue powder in the bag, I took half of the small intestine out of the basket, blanched it twice in a small iron pan, and cut it into inch-long sections.I went out and took a piece of pork belly, cut it into thin slices with a dagger, put it in a frying pan, opened the bag and took out the barbecue powder, and saw the small bag of chili noodles and the bag of pumpkin seeds.

Yao Xiaoqing took it out together, opened it, and found that the pumpkin seeds were raw, and there were chili seeds in the chili powder.

Yao Xiaoqing was ecstatic, almost laughed out loud, and hurriedly covered her mouth and sat on the leather.Looking at the things in her hands, she thought: the yield of pumpkins is not low after planting, and chili is a good thing for a person like her who is used to spicy food.

Yaya lay on the leather, looked at her covering her mouth with silly joy, "Qinggu, did your father give you something delicious?"

Yao Xiaoqing rubbed her yellow hair, and said with a smile: "No, your father gave you something delicious?"

Yaya shook her head, "I have an uncle, but no father."

Yao Xiaoqing rubbed her lightly, "Gu Qing will give you something delicious, okay?"

Yaya nodded happily, "Yes!"

Yao Xiaoqing took out a few pieces of toffee from her bag, peeled off the wrapper and put them in her mouth. The taste of the toffee made Yaya squint her eyes in satisfaction, "It's as sweet as honey."

As he spoke, he got up, bit off half of the toffee in his mouth and put it into the mouth of Hua who was guarding the fire, and looked at her with a smile, "Grandma, it's as sweet as honey, it's from Aunt Qing."

Hua smiled and kissed her, and said to her, "Mmm! It's as sweet as honey."

Yao Xiaoqing gave the two yuan in her hand to Yaya, and said with a smile, "Yaya eats honey."

Yaya took it, kissed Yao Xiaoqing on the face, and happily rolled on the leather twice.

Seeing her happy face, Yao Xiaoqing felt a little sour in his heart.She put the pumpkin seeds and chili powder back in her bag, picked up the pot and went out with the barbecue powder.

Mu Feng picked up a strip of dried meat and handed it to her, "Xiao Qing, I'll eat it for you."

Yao Xiaoqing shook his head, and put the meat in the pot in front of him, "I'll roast the meat for you to eat."

"Barbecue, I'm grilling meat!" Mu Feng looked at the sliced ​​meat and small intestine in the pot in puzzlement.

"You will know later." Yao Xiaoqing smiled and took a pair of bamboo chopsticks cut from a big stone, sandwiched the pork belly and small intestines and placed them on the stone slab.
