Going through ancient farming to engage in infrastructure construction

Chapter 278 Chapter 280
After Yao Xiaoqing was full, he saw the two of them tearing the jerky bit by bit like hamsters, putting it in their mouths and chewing slowly.

"You stay on guard first, I will sleep and wake up to replace you."

Aque nodded, "Understood."

At this time, it was already dark, and there were bursts of frogs and insects outside.

Yao Xiaoqing told the two of them, "Look at the fire at the entrance of the cave. If it goes out, we will die if the beast comes."

After Ah Que and Ah Nuan were full, listening to Yao Xiaoqing's long breathing, they began to doze off little by little. The two curled up and fell asleep together at some point.

Yao Xiaoqing woke up when the two fell down. Seeing the two squeezed together like puppies, she sat up with a smile.

When Ah Nuan tried to open his eyes, he saw Yao Xiaoqing sitting there guarding the fire, and hurriedly pushed Ah Que.

Ah Que woke up suddenly, and the two looked at Yao Xiaoqing anxiously, "Qing Wu, we fell asleep."

Yao Xiaoqing looked at the two of them, "If you are lucky, there will be no beasts tonight. If you are unlucky, we will be the beasts' dinner."

The two bowed their heads and admitted their mistake, "Yes! We were wrong, and we won't do it next time."

Yao Xiaoqing looked at the two of them, "Forget it this time, and I will punish you next time."

The two said in unison: "Yes!"

After Yao Xiaoqing and the two slept alternately, the genius gradually became brighter.

The three of them got up and ate the jerky, and continued to search, and found some Sanqi, Polygonatum, Potato Ping...then the three went back.

It was already dark when we returned to the tribe, and Yao Xiaoqing took people to clean up the medicinal materials before washing and sleeping.

After Mu Feng taught Ah Xing how to make salt, Shi Shan left a few warriors and took Ah Xing back to Wuxian.

The news that the Yaoshan tribe killed the warrior sent by the Dawu also reached the ears of Da Ma and Yan Yu.

After they learned that the Yaoshan tribe had captured those people alive, they dragged them to the mountain and showed them to the tribe going to the market before killing them.

Da Ma was so angry that he couldn't do anything.

When Shi Shan and A Xing returned to Yaoshan Daji, they also brought news of the Great Wu. Cuiyu gathered a group of savages and the Wuxian tribe to do a few battles. The two tribes were slightly better than Wuxian.

After hearing this, Yao Xiaoqing felt that this was a typical dog-eat-dog.

After a few days, the pairing between Mu Feng and A Xing was finalized, and Shi Shan and Yao Hu discussed that A Xing would be sent to the Yaoshan tribe after the autumn market opened.

Yao Xiaoqing took A Que and A Nuan to search for herbs in the mountains and forests, and found cinnamon, cumin, and grass fruit.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, but luckily we found a spring, and the millet, pumpkins, and soil melons can be irrigated with water.

The pens in the north have been built, and the old uncle moved the livestock to the pens outside and dismantled the rabbit shed.Yao Xiaoqing asked them to keep the pig pens and cattle pens, planning to convert them into warehouses, weaving houses, and oil pressing houses.

In a blink of an eye, the winter wheat in that field can also be harvested.

Leopard Ah Mu took a dozen women and mowed the wheat back in less than a morning.After two days of exposure to the sun, it took half a day to break out the wheat.

The grains of winter wheat were obviously much fuller. Yao Xiaoqing and his men sorted out a small amount of shriveled seeds and kept them all for seeds.

People in the tribe ate big meat buns that have been read for a long time.

After the winter wheat was harvested, it was soon time to harvest the millet, and the millet in the millet field was bent under the weight of the golden ears of corn.

The Yaoshan Fair was also closed, and the restaurant’s harvest was not bad, in exchange for a lot of beans, millet and some dried meat.The pumpkins were also exchanged for a lot of food, most of which were Jinchuang medicine and snake medicine made by Yao Xiaoqing.

When millet is harvested, all the people in the tribe are dispatched, cutting and drying the millet.

Harvesting millet here, busy plowing and sowing over there, everyone was so busy that their heels didn't touch the ground, finally the millet was harvested and planted.

After planting the seeds, Yao Hu and Jiang Li finally built the Wind Valley Machine after several experiments.

Everyone pours the sun-dried millet into the barn, opens the bayonet, and shakes the handle of the fan blade. The deflated and full grains will automatically fall into the baskets from the two outlets, and the grains and impurities will fly out from the outlets. .

Yaohu nodded again and again, "This thing is good, it is more convenient and trouble-free than a sieve."

Yao Xiaoqing smiled and said, "Father, after the threshing machine is ready, it will be more convenient for us after the wheat is harvested next year."

Yaohu nodded triumphantly, "Jiang Li said that the gear part of the threshing machine is the same as the wind valley machine, and it is more trouble-free than the wind valley machine."

Yao Xiaoqing nodded, "As long as you make the same thing, it will be easier to make other things. When your skills become more skilled, we will go to the canal on the other side of the spring to build a water mill house, and we will use a pestle to pound the rice in the future." pink."

Yaohu looked at Jiang Li and said with a smile: "Look at Xiaoqing, we still have two things we haven't done yet, and she has come up with something new."

Jiang Li smiled and glanced at Yao Xiaoqing, "Take your time, it will be done one day."

Yao Xiaoqing suddenly thought that rapeseed had blossomed and pods, and harvesting rapeseed would begin in a while, and the tools for oil extraction had not yet been made.

"Jiang Li, do you know what method you use to extract oil?"

Jiang Li nodded with a smile, "Yes, there is an oil workshop and a mill on my village, you let me think about what the oil extractor said?"

"Yeah!" Yao Xiaoqing also nodded with a smile.

After a while, Jiang Li said in a low voice: "I remember the long-term worker who squeezed the oil said that the tools for squeezing the oil are composed of a milling plate, a wooden press, a hammer, and a wooden wedge. The wood is a camphor wood surrounded by three people. Hollow out, put the packaged oil cakes into the squeeze chamber of the wooden press one by one and arrange them neatly.

After the oil cake is installed, put a wooden block on one side of the oil cake, and then hit the wedge with a hanging ram.The wedges are driven into the press chamber to squeeze the wooden blocks placed horizontally in the press chamber, the wooden blocks squeeze the oil cake, the rapeseed oil flows out from the holes at the bottom of the camphor wood, and the oil is scooped into the cylinder for precipitation. "

"I knew you had seen it!" Yao Xiaoqing smiled, "The rapeseed has begun to bloom, and it will be too late. Let's go out and find camphor wood."

Jiang Li nodded with a smile, "There are quite a few camphor trees in the back mountains, and they are all big trees hugged by several people."

Yao Xiaoqing smiled and said, "Yes! Call a few people and let's go up the mountain and cut trees."

After the two agreed, they said something to Yaohu, and then they led Mufeng and Leopard and walked towards the back mountain with a saw and an axe.

When they arrived at the mountain, they chose a camphor tree with three people hugging each other and a straight trunk, and began to cut it down.

Jiang Li thought about it and said to Yao Xiaoqing: "Qing Wu, camphor wood has the effect of repelling insects, mildew, and preventing clothes from corroding. Putting high-end clothes such as wool, leather, silk, and hemp, as well as calligraphy and painting books in it, the items will not only not grow. Insect-free, mildew-free, and can also be infected with a fragrant smell.

Such strong camphor wood is very difficult to come by in later generations. Now that the tribe has carpentry tools, we should cut down a few more trees to make some furniture and wooden warehouses for food storage. "
