Going through ancient farming to engage in infrastructure construction

Chapter 224 224 Abnormal
Thinking of the spools that need to be wound for spinning, Yao Xiaoqing came out of the cafeteria, went straight to the firewood house at the foot of the mountain, found a bundle of thin bamboo poles, and carried them home.

Carrying an engineering shovel, saw off the bamboo joints of the thin bamboo poles, and saw the bamboo tubes into four or five inch long ones, which are used as spools for winding wires.

After sawing two bamboo poles, she suddenly remembered that when she and her teammates participated in outdoor activities, they used bamboo tubes, toilet paper, cotton, reed cherry seeds, and rosin to make fire pockets, which were much more convenient than drilling wood to make fire.

At that time, she was still searching the Internet, and the Internet said that the ancient rich and noble people used the Huozhe to soak white (red) potato vines in water, soak them thickly, take them out and beat them flat, then soak them with cotton and reed tassels, beat them again, and dry them in the sun. , Add nitrate, sulfur, rosin, camphor and other combustibles, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive.The straw paper velvet used by ordinary people is rolled up tightly and stuffed into a bamboo tube.

Yao Xiaoqing rubbed her chin and thought: There are not enough complicated materials, and the simple materials are ready-made, why not try to make a fire folding.

She picked out a longer section of bamboo and sawed it into two pieces.Then use a dagger to make a small hole in each of the two ends, the long section is thinner, and the short section widens the inner diameter to make a cover.

Go to the warehouse and get a piece of turpentine and a stack of paper.The dried pine resin is a bit transparent golden yellow, and smells a faint pine resin smell.People who are not used to the smell feel a bit over the top.

Yao Xiaoqing put the pine resin into the socket, crushed it finely, and then ground it into powder with a wooden stick.

Knead the paper, cut it into the length of a bamboo tube, spread it out on the table, sprinkle a little turpentine powder on it, think about it, grab a little bit of golden retriever hair and mix it with turpentine powder, and roll it into a tight paper roll , Stuffed into the long bamboo tube.

Take out the lighter and ignite the paper roll and blow it out.Although there was no flame in the blown paper roll, you could see fiery red bright spots burning faintly, like embers in ashes.

Yao Xiaoqing picked up the lid and closed it. After 2 minutes, he opened the lid and saw the rolled paper in the bamboo tube. The fiery red bright spots were still there.She puffed up her cheeks and blew hard on the roll of paper, and the roll burned again.

"Haha! It's done." She looked at the fire folder in her hand happily. After Mu Feng and the others went out, they didn't have to work hard to get fire.

"You child, why are you laughing here alone?" Yaohu walked in with a smile.

Yao Xiaoqing triumphantly held up the torch, "Father, look, what is in my hand?"

Yaohu smiled and said, "Isn't it just a bamboo pipe? Look at your proud look."

"You wait!"

Yao Xiaoqing took off the cap, puffed up her cheeks again, and blew on it, and the rolled paper in the bamboo tube ignited.

Yaohu widened his eyes, looked at the bamboo tube in Yao Xiaoqing's hand, "What's going on? Why did it ignite?"

Yao Xiaoqing smiled and said, "Father, let me tell you..."

After trying it, Yaohu smiled wrinkled all over his face, and gave Yao Xiaoqing a thumbs up, "Hey! My daughter is amazing! You teach my father to try it."

"Okay!" Yao Xiaoqing instructed Yaohu to make a Huozhezi.

The father and daughter made a dozen or so fireflips in succession before they stopped.

Yaohu took a few sticks of fire, and said with a smile: "Xiaoqing, father, I will go to your Uncle Dashi." He couldn't wait to share it with Dashi, let them know how powerful their future leader is, how powerful his brain is How easy it is.

Yao Xiaoqing looked at him like a child, eager to go out to show off his new toy, and nodded with a smile, "Come back early, I boiled hot water in a pot, and you can burn your feet before going to bed .”

Yaohu was delighted in his heart, and nodded repeatedly, "Understood, you go to sleep."

"I'll go when I'm done packing."

Yao Xiaoqing saw off the remaining bamboo poles, cleaned them up, and threw the garbage into the stove.

Now that there is no need to keep kindling, Yao Xiaoqing poured hot water and added some water to the pot to heat it up.After taking the basin to the bathroom to wash up, he went back to the room and got into bed and fell asleep.

Yaohu showed off next to each other with fire folders, shared one with each of them, and then went home happily.

Early the next morning, Yao Xiaoqing came back from practice and walked into the cafeteria. Amu Yun held her cheerfully, "Xiaoqing, the fire book you made is really useful. You don't have to wake up in the middle of the night to watch fire."

Yao Xiaoqing smiled and said: "You can use it at ease, I will teach you how to make more later and use it slowly."

Yun Amu nodded again and again, "Okay, you can teach us later."

"Xiaoqing, the bast of the mulberry trees collected is about to be used up. I remember there were some on the way to Shenmu Mountain. I want to take Uncle Achong and the others to cut some back tomorrow." Yuzi came in from the outside and said.

Yao Xiaoqing nodded and said: "Tomorrow I will go with you too." She remembered that there was a large pine forest over there, and wanted to find some Poria cocos.

After eating the food, Yao Xiaoqing taught Yun'am how to make fire dimples, and then went back to the yard.

Bao Amu took the people to move all the ramie to the yard, fetched a few pots of water and put them aside.Everyone unwrapped the bundles of ramie, smoothed them over their legs, and tore them into thin threads.

The torn twine was one meter long, and the long one was only two meters long.Leopard Amu dipped some water in the basin, twisted the two hemp threads overlappingly for a few times, made a long hemp thread, and wrapped it around the bamboo tube.

Yao Xiaoqing rubbed hemp thread all morning, and felt that tearing and cutting hemp was quite boring. She would rather dig the ground and chop firewood than do such delicate work.

After lunch, Shan Amu said with a smile: "Xiaoqing, Gema has already been peeled, you can go play in the afternoon, we will help rub the hemp thread together."

"Okay!" Yao Xiaoqing nodded with a smile, "You guys are good at this kind of delicate work. I'll go up the mountain to collect herbs and find food."

Shan Amu looked at her and smiled lovingly, "I know you don't like it, so you take A Sen up the mountain to find food."

"Understood, I asked A Sen to go." Yao Xiaoqing hugged Shan Amu and went to the cattle pen.

"Uncle Chun, where did A Sen and Ya Ya go?"

Achunbo pointed to the river, "The two of them went to herd cattle by the river."

Yao Xiaoqing waved at Ah Chun, "Oh! Then I'm leaving."

"Xiaoqing, I have something to tell you." Ah Chun stopped her.

Yao Xiaoqing looked back at him, "Say it."

Ah Chun said: "I was grazing cattle at the foot of the mountain in the morning, and saw Meihua quietly going up the mountain, but I followed up the mountain and found no one."

"Plum blossom?" Yao Xiaoqing couldn't remember who it was, "She sneaked up the mountain, did she have anything in her hand? Did she come back during lunch?"

Ah Chun thought for a while, "She went there empty-handed. She was in the cafeteria during lunch, and I saw something wrong with her appearance. I wanted to watch it secretly for two days, but I was afraid that she would steal the tribe's things."

Thinking of the ironware in the tribe, Yao Xiaoqing frowned and said, "Do you know where she got it from?"

Ah Chun thought for a while, "She seems to have been traded from the Niu tribe, and she usually works very neatly."
