Going through ancient farming to engage in infrastructure construction

Chapter 219 Chapter 219
The fire is getting bigger and bigger, the temperature in the refining room is gradually rising, and standing inside is sweating profusely.

Yaohu said to Yao Xiaoqing: "It's too hot here, go back and rest for a while, Father is done, take it back for you to see."

Seeing that he had nothing to do here, Yao Xiaoqing nodded and said, "Got it. Autumn is rather dry, remember to drink plenty of water in the refining room."

"Okay!" Yaohu responded loudly, and began to jingle with a hammer.

Yao Xiaoqing came out of the refining room. Seeing that it was still early, she thought about going to the mountains to find some medicinal materials.

She went home with a backpack on her back, went to the door of the cafeteria and greeted Yun Amu, and took the engineer shovel out of the tribe and walked up the mountain.

Yao Xiaoqing looked around, then walked straight towards the ravine at the foot of the mountain, and collected some bellflowers and forsythias along the way, and put them in the basket.

The forest at the end of autumn and the beginning of winter is a bleak scene. There are birds with emerald green feathers on the branches, jumping around on the branches with dry grass in their mouths, busy building nests.

At the foot of the mountain, I found that the water in the ditch was so shallow that even small stones could not cover it.

She thought that she had traveled upstream several times, and this time she would go downstream along the ravine.

After walking for more than half an hour, a golden retriever ridge was found on the slope above the ravine.

Pulling away the dead grass, I found a large group of roots covered with golden hairs, and I don't know how many years old it is.

The hair of the golden dog ridge is a good medicine for hemostasis. Remove the golden hair fibrous root, wash it, slice it, steam it and dry it in the sun. It is a good medicine for dispelling rheumatism, nourishing the liver and kidney, and strengthening the waist and knees.

It is still a second-class protected plant in later generations.

Yao Xiaoqing picked up a shovel and dug up more than a dozen golden dog ridges, shook off the soil, put it in a back basket, and continued walking down.

She found some herbs along the way, and when she came to a bush, she suddenly found that the bush was full of beans.

When I got closer, I realized that it was not beans, but potatoes and melon seeds.

Yao Xiaoqing saw nests of white and raw soil melons in front of her eyes. Looking at the soil melon vines in the bushes, she felt excited. People really can't stay at home, they have to come out often to find these treasures.

"Your Majesty asked me to patrol the mountains. I'll take a look around the mountains...there are so many treasures in the mountains..."

She happily hummed a little song, put down the basket, picked the seeds of the soil melon on the vine, picked up the shovel and dug up, a piece of flat soil melon went down with two shovels, and got out of the soil along the shovel.

Pick it up, pat off the soil on the top, tear off the earthy yellow skin of the melon, revealing the snow-white flesh inside, take a big bite, it is crisp, tender and juicy, and it is very thirst-quenching.

After eating a melon, Yao Xiaoqing burped, rubbed his stomach and sighed: "Good food! There is another variety in Yaoji's recipe."

Looking at the earthmelon vines all over the bushes, she decided to dig a few pieces back first, and bring people to dig earthmelon and collect seeds tomorrow morning.

Yao Xiaoqing started to work with a shovel, and soon there were more than a dozen spindle-shaped and oblate melons on the ground.

She shook the soil off the melons, put them in a basket and walked back.Still thinking in her heart, since the sweet potatoes have been found, it will be great when the rice is found, and she will be able to eat delicious white rice.

Yao Xiaoqing walked to the foot of the mountain excitedly, suddenly there was a strong wind, dark clouds covered the sky, several lightning flashed across the sky, and rumbling thunder came from the sky.

'Oops, it's lightning and thunder, don't let it be struck to death by lightning again.By the way, can you wear it back again? ' She was thinking wildly, and hurried back.

Before reaching the top of the mountain, I saw lightning and thunder, and dark clouds rolling. Suddenly, a heavy rain poured down, and the heavy rain mixed with hail and hit the gray earth.

She sighed, and said to herself: Look at this, she was either struck to death by lightning or by hail, both of them are dead anyway, it is better to be struck to death by lightning, maybe she can wear it back!

Thinking of this, she simply ran and hid under a big tree, watching the heavy rain with hail falling through the treetops, and a lot of crystal clear hail soon piled up on the ground.

Yaohu and Achong ran up the mountain wearing bamboo hats, and the hailstones hit the bamboo hats with a crackling sound. When they reached the mountain, the hailstones gradually stopped, and the heavy rain was still pouring down.

The two shouted at the top of their voices: "Xiaoqing, Xiaoqing...,"

"Xiaoqing, Xiaoqing..." Yaohu was so anxious that he ran to the hill and shouted loudly.

Yao Xiaoqing hid under the tree, heard the faint shouts, and hurriedly responded loudly, "Hey! Father, I am here."

She ran out from under the big tree and followed the direction of the sound.

Yaohu stood on the hill, and through the rain and fog, he saw Yao Xiaoqing, who was carrying a basket on his back and covered his head with an engineer shovel.

He rushed over in a hurry, put the bamboo hat on her head, and said angrily: "You child, I finally found you."

Uncle A Chong hurriedly took the pannier off her shoulders, but found it was quite heavy, "Xiaoqing, what did you find that is so heavy?"

"Good stuff!" Yao Xiaoqing smiled proudly, "Father, Uncle Chong, I found a good thing, I went back and tasted it, it was delicious, let's dig it tomorrow morning."

"Okay! Let's try it when we get back." Yaohu looked at her drenched, like a little animal that fell into the water, "Look at you, you're completely soaked, remember to drink some ginger water to sweat when you go back."

Looking at Yaohu's loving eyes, Yao Xiaoqing's heart warmed, "It's ginger tea, you should also drink a bowl and sweat!"

"Okay!" Yaohu raised the military shovel and walked back to protect her.

The three ran down the mountain in the rain, and the rain stopped.

Yao Xiaoqing looked at the sky, "Hey! God also plays tricks on people."

Yaohu scolded: "You child, God doesn't know we are outside."

Yao Xiaoqing, "..."

When the three of them walked to the gate, Yao Xiaoqing saw the dark clouds above his head dissipate, and the blue sky seemed to have been washed with clear water, without a trace of cloud, deep and transparent.

When we arrived at the cafeteria, Amu Yun hurriedly brought over the brewed ginger tea, "Come on, Xiaoqing, drink a bowl of ginger tea, and go back and change your clothes."

"Okay," Yao Xiaoqing took the tea bowl, pointed to the earthen melon in the basket, "Mum, take it and wash it, cut it open for everyone to taste."

Yaohu looked at her with a smile, "This child, you have time to talk after you drink it!"

"Hey! I think it's delicious, you guys try it, it's refreshing and thirst-quenching!"

After Yao Xiaoqing finished speaking, she took a sip of ginger tea, and the hot ginger tea flowed into her throat, which was slightly spicy. After drinking a bowl of ginger tea, she felt comfortable from head to toe, as if soaked in hot water.

Yun Amu came out with the earthen melon, and said with a smile: "Looking at the yellowish yellow skin, the melon inside is raw when you cut it open."

"Everyone have a taste." Yao Xiaoqing picked up a piece and handed it to Yaohu, "Father, you have a taste."

Yaohu and Ah Chong took a bite, chewed a few times, and nodded in applause, "It's delicious, crunchy and sweet."

"Xiaoqing, this food is delicious, is there any more in the mountains?" Hua and Dongxue also thought it was delicious.
