Going through ancient farming to engage in infrastructure construction

Chapter 209 Chapter 209 First in History
Jiang Li, Heiba ​​and the others were packing things, including chestnuts, dried meat, and pine nuts, in a dozen or so baskets.

Heiba ​​pointed to the pine nuts, "Hongye, such a big food, there is nothing but the shell, what are you doing collecting it?"

Hongye smiled and said, "The Yaoshan tribe has collected a lot. Amu Yun said to go to the river to get some fine sand and fry it in a stone pot. In winter, when I have nothing to do, I just sit on the kang and slowly peel and eat."

"Oh! Then we have to find a stone pot." Heiba ​​looked at Jiang Li, "Boss, you can ask Qing Wu to help us burn some pots!"

"Not just pots, but also water tanks." Hong Ye snapped her fingers, "Look at where we live, there is one water tank in the kitchen, two in the bathroom and toilet, at least three water tanks."

Jiang Li glanced at Hongye and said with a smile, "Okay, Hongye, after staying here for a few days, you've learned to count things."

Hongye was a little proud, "Boss, Ah Mu taught me, and she also taught me how to cook food!"

Jiang Li nodded with a smile, "Okay, from now on you will cook our food."

Seeing Jiang Li praising Hongye, Qiu gave her a jealous look, walked up and bumped Hongye on purpose, Hongye staggered and almost fell to the ground.

Jiang Li looked at her coldly, and said coldly: "Qiu, I remember I told you that if you want to live in the Qingshan Tribe, you have to stick to your duty and don't think about what you shouldn't."

"In the future, if you don't keep your duty, I will drive you out of the tribe. This is the last time I remind you, I hope you will keep it in mind."

Qiu froze for a moment, looked back at Heiba ​​with red eye circles, saw that he didn't even look at her, lowered his head and said, "I'll remember, I won't do this again in the future."

Jiang Li glanced at Heiba, turned around and went upstairs.

Da Liang slapped Hei Ba in a sly way, "Why didn't you help her today?"

Heiba ​​snorted coldly, "When we took her in, she wasn't like what she is now."

Da Liang glanced at Hei Ba, "Then you still protected her before."

Heiba ​​whispered: "It won't happen in the future."

The morning breeze blew, and the coolness hit, Yao Xiaoqing took the medicine and Yaohu to the medical room.

Shi Shan and You Lu had just finished their breakfast, looked at them and said with a smile: "Leader Yaohu, Qing Wu, let's set off."

Yao Xiaoqing opened the medicine and put it on the table, "Chief Shishan, boil these herbs and drink them in water. Change the medicine powder once a day. Be careful not to break the wound."

Shi Shan replied with a smile: "Okay, when I go back, I will have people bring animal skins and food in exchange for pumpkins."

Yaohu smiled and nodded, "Okay."

You Lu bowed his head to Yao Xiaoqing and saluted, "Qingwu, you saved my life, if you need me in the future, just send someone to bring a letter."

Yao Xiaoqing avoided it, and replied: "I am a witch doctor, and saving people is what I should do."

After hearing this, Shi Shan nodded again and again, "We will remember your kindness, Qing Wu."

Yao Xiaoqing smiled politely.The father and daughter sent Shi Shan and his son to the gate and watched them walk up the mountain.

Yaohu smiled and said, "Go, go back and help Jiang Li move things."

Yao Xiaoqing nodded, "Take a few cattle out, put them on a rack and move them over."

"it is good."

Jiang Li took Muba and they carried the baskets to the entrance of the cafeteria. They saw several large vats on the open space. There were more than a dozen large and small pots in the vats. There were also two baskets of charcoal and a basket of golden corn. A basket of pumpkins.

Yaohu looked at him with a smile, "Jiang Li, these things are for you."

Jiang Li saluted Yaohu and Yao Xiaoqing gratefully, "Thank you! Thank you!"

Yaohu waved his hands and smiled heartily, "Achong went to take the cattle, put the baskets and vats in the bamboo baskets, and moved them in one trip."

"Okay." Jiang Li responded readily.

"The scalper is here." Ah Chong's voice sounded.

Achong and Heiba ​​put the racks in place, put the big tanks into the bamboo baskets, and the six cattle stooped away most of the things.

Everyone sent Jiang Li and his party to the gate, and Yaohu and Dashi went to the Qingshan tribe together.

Yao Xiaoqing took taro and others, fished out the soaked ramie stalks in the ditch, and stripped the ramie silk.

After a few more days, the weather gradually turned cooler, and the bast of the mulberry tree had been soaked.The greenhouse has also been built and is being filled with soil.

Yao Xiaoqing found a large vat, took taro and beans, cleaned and chopped the bast, added plant ash and lime, put it in the big post and steamed it.

Achong and the others took turns helping to light the fire. They cooked continuously for five or six days day and night. They fished out half of the fibrous bast from the vat. After cleaning and filtering, they repeatedly beat it into pulp with a stone mortar.

Remove the impurities in the pulp, pour the pulp into the pool and add water, the pulp in the pool becomes floc after being soaked in water.

Yao Xiaoqing and Douzi took turns stirring with a wooden stick and pestle, and finally added a liquid made of fir bark to make the pulp sticky and easy to separate.

Then put it into the bamboo curtain and shake it gently back and forth a few times, so that the pulp interweaves on the bamboo curtain to form a thin sheet of wet paper. Yao Xiaoqing tried a few times before successfully pouring the wet paper on the stone slab.

I made dozens of sheets in one breath, and the gestures became proficient, and my hands were sore.Looking at the stacked wet papers, she couldn't wait to see what the finished product would look like.

Seeing the blue stone slab on the ground, Yao Xiaoqing rolled his eyes, and said to Yuzi who was stepping on the pestle to make paper pulp, "Yaozi, carry that stone slab to the small kiln, add some firewood to heat the stone slab."

"Okay!" Yuzi called Dou Zi, and the two of them cleaned a bluestone slab with water, carried it to the kiln mouth and put it away, and began to heat the stone slab.

"Xiaoqing, the slate is hot."

Yao Xiaoqing put down the bamboo curtain, carefully lifted a piece of wet paper and spread it on a heated bluestone board. After baking for a while, the first white paper in history appeared before her eyes.

Although the thickness is not very uniform, it is also white and clear. This is the first piece of paper she made by herself.

"There's paper! I've made paper!" Yao Xiaoqing smiled triumphantly, "Haha! I won't use bamboo anymore."

Douzi and Yuzi looked curiously at the white paper in Yao Xiaoqing's hand, and they looked at her with starry eyes.

Yuzi looked at the paper in Yao Xiaoqing's hand that looked like a white cloud in the sky, "Xiaoqing, can I touch it?"

"Here." Yao Xiaoqing happily and proudly handed the paper to Yuzi.

The two happily took the paper and looked at it over and over for a while, "Xiaoqing, do you really want to use this to wipe your butt?"

"Yes!" Yao Xiaoqing nodded vigorously.

Yuzi held it carefully, "Xiaoqing, I'm a bit reluctant to wipe my butt with something like this!"

Yao Xiaoqing knocked on her with a smile, "I don't want you to use bamboo slices, I don't want to use bamboo slices anymore."

She thought of the women in the tribe, every few days when their menstruation comes, they have to stay at home and dare not even go out.Now that there is paper, when she finishes weaving the cloth, she will make some menstrual belts for them, and the women can go out for a few days.
