Going through ancient farming to engage in infrastructure construction

Chapter 291 293 Negotiation
Jiang Li and Muba hit the wooden block with the hanging ram, bang bang bang, the ram made a deafening sound, and the golden rapeseed oil after the oil cake was hit and squeezed flowed into it from the hole left by the pressed wood. The big vat buried under the squeezed wood.

The oil cake in the squeezing pond flows out with the rapeseed oil, and gaps are also exposed.Jiang Li added the prepared wedges into the press chamber, squeezed the wooden blocks placed horizontally in the press chamber to squeeze the oil cake, and more golden rapeseed oil flowed out from the holes at the bottom of the camphor wood.

Wait until the oil in the tank is almost full, then scoop out the oil and pour it into a large tank beside it to settle.

Yao Xiaoqing led people to scoop rapeseed oil into the gauze to filter out impurities. The rapeseed oil exudes a strong fragrance. She thinks it may be due to the quality of the soil and water. The rapeseed oil is obviously better than that of later generations, and the color Brighter than later generations.

The leftover oil from oil extraction was dry, so Yao Xiaoqing and his men dug a large earth pit in the open space of the livestock house.Put a straw curtain on the bottom of the pit, add an appropriate amount of water to the oil dry and stir, fill the oil dry into the pit, and then cover the straw curtain.After a period of time, it can be added to pig food to feed pigs.

After the sugar and oil were pressed, it was time to sow the winter wheat. Everyone exposed the selected wheat seeds to the sun and cooled them down, and then began to sow the seeds.

With the experience of last year, Yao Xiaoqing is no longer worried about the damage of the wheat seeds, and sows all the wheat seeds that have been optimized several times.More than 100 acres of winter wheat were sown this time.

Shi Shan led people to build the wooden house into five rooms and three houses in a row according to the method taught by Yao Xiaoqing.He also learned from the Yaoshan tribe and set up canteens and warehouses.

The tribes who migrated to the river valley finally built all the wooden houses before the first snow came.The mountains and forests in this area were also visited by women who didn't want to go hungry, and the green stalks and pine nuts they collected piled up into mountains.

With luck, I also dug up a lot of kudzu root, yam and some taro, as well as some root food.

The people sent by the Yaoshan tribe taught them to mash the green stick fruit into a pulp, and then dry the filtered fruit powder after sedimentation and filtration.

The small tribes in the south are small in number, and after the wooden houses are built, they stand sporadically in the valley, just like small villages of later generations.

Mu Feng and the others came back from hunting, but they didn't bring much prey back.Yao Xiaoqing felt that the wild animals on the mountain had fled to the forest where they felt safe because of the earthquake.

At night, everyone ate food and gathered in the cafeteria to talk.

Mu Feng said: "When we got there, we found that the mountain depressions were gone, all those bamboo shoot-shaped mountain bags were gone, and there were very few prey on the mountain."

"Hey!" Yaohu sighed, "Forget it if you don't have one, and cultivate the land next year."

Muba nodded, "Yes! Farm well and have food."

Yao Xiaoqing shook his head with a smile, "Planting the land depends on the sky for eating. Isn't our second millet harvest a little bit?"

Ah Chun said with a smile: "Xiaoqing, you can't say that. Our millet stalks are chopped up and fed to pigs, sheep, and cattle. They like to eat them. A few sheep gave birth two days ago, and two sows also gave birth."

Yao Xiaoqing nodded, "Well! It seems to be useful." She turned her head and said to Shan Amu, "Amu, next year we will sprinkle the grass seeds we found on the open space outside the wall, so you don't have to worry about it. There's no more fodder."

Shan Amu nodded a few times, "Okay!"

Yaohu said to Yao Xiaoqing: "Xiaoqing, you said last year that you would sacrifice the dead clansmen and your brothers and sisters after the first snowfall. We didn't have time to fight the giant bear last year. Let's do it this year. Yes, those in the tribe who should be paired to form a family are also done together."

Yao Xiaoqing looked at Mu Feng with a smile on his face, "Brother and Xing should also handle the matter together!"

Yaohu nodded with a smile, "Okay, tomorrow I will go to Shishan and talk about it, and bring Ah Xing to the Yaoshan tribe."

Shi and Douzi, Quan and Yuzi... and those men and women who have already found a lifelong partner, they are all happy to look at the person they like.

Seeing their sweet looks, Yao Xiaoqing said with a smile: "Father, I plan to distribute the knitted cloth to the married girls who want to match, and let them make new clothes by themselves. Let's give them a decent look." Have a family ceremony."

Yaohu smiled and said, "Okay, we have worked hard for a year and defeated the black bear and the big witch. We should also be happy."

Yao Xiaoqing looked at Douzi and the others with a smile, "Okay, all those who want to be paired can go to Shan'am to sign up for fabrics. I will draw a new outfit for everyone to wear on the day of the matching ceremony."

The unmarried men and women cheered happily, and those who got married all looked envious, "Oh! I knew we would get married later."

Everyone burst out laughing.

"Really!" Yuzi happily pulled Yao Xiaoqing, "Xiaoqing, what kind of new clothes do you draw for us?"

Yao Xiaoqing said with a smile: "Draw beautiful new clothes. From now on, the new clothes will be used as new clothes for men and women of the Yaoshan tribe to get married."

Yao Hu nodded happily, "Okay, let's hold a good one, and invite Shi Shan and the leaders of several small tribes to be happy."

"Yes, leader!" Everyone responded happily.

Yao Xiaoqing went to the Qingshan Tribe the next day, and asked Jiang Li to bring the clothes they wore there for their wedding.

Jiang Li readily agreed, and drew a black robe decorated with red piping.

"The wedding dress of the Zhou Dynasty was adopted by the Jin Dynasty. Officials embroidered red piping with gold thread to embroider various auspicious patterns, and ordinary poor people embroidered with golden silk thread."

Yao Xiaoqing thinks it looks better than the red dresses of later generations, "That's right, black and red are the most dignified. Just do it like this."

Seeing that Yao Xiaoqing liked it, Jiang Li nodded happily, "I'll draw two new ones and send them to you tomorrow."

Yao Xiaoqing nodded, "Okay! You draw slowly, and I'll go back."

Jiang Li sent Yao Xiaoqing outside the door, watched her walk away before going back to pick up a charcoal pencil and start drawing again.

Yaohu took Mufeng and led a yellow ox with dried meat, animal skins, pumpkins, and brown sugar and white sugar prepared by Yao Xiaoqing in the bamboo basket on the pannier, and went to the Wuxian tribe.

Shi Shan happily welcomed him in, "Brother Yaohu, why do you have the time to come here today?"

Yaohu smiled and said: "Winter is coming, Xiaoqing said that he will hold a matching ceremony for those men and women in the tribe who should be paired. Let's pick up A Xing and go to the Yaoshan tribe."

Mufeng unloaded the food and sugar from the panniers and handed them over to Ah Xing.He handed the brown sugar and the white sugar in the small jar to A Xing, "These things are called sugar, soaked in water to drink."

A Xing blushed and nodded, and carried Tang into the house.

Mu Feng saluted Shi Shan, "Uncle Shi Shan, I will treat Ah Xing well." It was Yao Xiaoqing who taught him this, and his ears turned red after he finished speaking.

Shi Shan looked at the two of them and the shy A Xing, and nodded reluctantly, "I originally thought that A Xing would bring animal skins and food to Mu Feng on the day she was rationed to Mu Feng. Those good animals in the tribe after an earthquake Skin……"
