Going through ancient farming to engage in infrastructure construction

Chapter 318: Pier 318
The golden retriever looked at Yao Xiaoqing, scratched his head and yelled twice, and squatted beside Yao Xiaoqing with his wife and children.

Muba and Xiong Niu arranged for the night watch warriors, and everyone fell asleep on the animal skin mat.

The Golden Retriever curled up at Yao Xiaoqing's feet with his wife and children. When it was almost dawn, he took a look at Yao Xiaoqing, climbed up the pine tree and left with his wife and children.

Yao Xiaoqing woke up and looked around but couldn't find the Jinmao family.

The warrior Asong said to her: "Qingwu, the golden retriever took those two away when the sky was about to dawn."

Yao Xiaoqing nodded, "The mountains and forests are its home." She would not keep it, as long as she knew it was still in good condition, after all, the golden retriever was the first creature she met in this world.

The next day, a group of people continued to walk through the forest, and Yao Xiaoqing also found some herbs.

It took a group of people three or four days of hard work to find almost all the Poria cocos in this forest, and the bamboo baskets and slings they brought were already full.

Only then did Yao Xiaoqing and Muba go to the hillside outside the pine forest, there was indeed a jujube forest there, but most of the jujube trees had been frozen to death.

Only the small jujube tree has sprouted new branches.Several people found a few jujube trees in a sheltered place in the woods, dug them up and put them on the back of the cow, and started to walk back.

Everyone went back and unloaded the poria cocos, rested for a day, and set off into the mountain again.

At noon, there was a fine drizzle like cow hair, which dyed the young grass green, and the faint fragrance of grass and trees mixed with the smell of rotten soil in the forest filled the mountains and fields.

Seeing the weather, Shan's mother was also a little worried, "Xiaoqing, it's still not hot today, will the millet in the field produce millet?"

She felt that although the heat was unbearable in the past two years, the millet and beans in the field grew well.

It rained for more than ten days in a row last year, and the harvested millet was all empty shells. Xiaoqing said that the millet was being filled with grout, and without the sun, the millet would become an empty shell.

Yao Xiaoqing looked at the sky, "It's all right now, the hottest few days will be the grain filling period of millet, if the weather is still like this, our millet can only be fed to livestock again.

That's why I let everyone go into the mountains to collect poria cocos and taro, and let the leopards try to catch live animals and bring them back to raise them.

Let Achunbo and Agenbo hatch more chickens, ducklings, and rabbits.Even if there are not many pumpkins, millet, and beans harvested at that time, there will still be poria cocos and livestock. "

After hearing this, everyone understood why Yao Xiaoqing didn't let them go out to collect wild vegetables, and brought them all out to collect Poria cocos and taro.

The drizzle fell for two or three hours before it stopped, and everyone arrived in front of a pine forest.

Yao Xiaoqing saw a mulberry forest not far from the pine forest, and she suddenly thought of camphor silkworm cocoons.Are there silkworm cocoons in the mulberry forest?

"Mum, you go in first, Brother Niu and I will go to Sanglin over there to have a look."

Shan Amu turned around and said, "Okay, let's look outside the forest first."

Yao Xiaoqing nodded, and walked to the mulberry forest with Xiongniu pulling up the waist-deep weeds, "Brother Niu, look for fat white bugs on the trees."

Xiong Niu looked at her and said with a smile: "There is no such thing as a white and fat worm. What are you doing with a fat worm?"

Yao Xiaoqing smiled, "Look around, I'm useful."

Xiongniu nodded, and the two of them pulled up on the mulberry leaves and found a few mulberry trees. Yao Xiaoqing saw brown in the trees, with a small head, two bulging breasts, and some bumps on the surface. There's an ugly bug with a pointy thing on the top behind the butt.

The male bull came over with a piece of mulberry leaf, and there were several worms on the mulberry leaf, "Xiaoqing, there are not many white and fat worms like you mentioned, and I found many such ugly things."

Yao Xiaoqing took a look and found that it was the same as the one she found, "The one I found is also the same. The color is lighter."

Xiongniu looked at her disappointed, "Xiaoqing, what's the use of looking for that bug?"

Yao Xiaoqing thought for a while, "I know that there is a kind of white and fat insect that produces something called a cocoon. It is a bit like the cocoon on the camphor tree we cut down last year. It is bigger and whiter than it."

Xiong Niu frowned, "I seem to have seen it there!"

"Really?" Yao Xiaoqing grabbed the bull's arm excitedly.

Xiongniu thought about it for a long time, "Haha! I remembered. I saw it on the acorn tree at the foot of the mountain. It's not white, it's a little yellow."

Yao Xiaoqing lost interest when he heard the one on the oak tree, "Oh! It's different from what I want, let's look for it again, if there is no one, go to the pine forest to find Poria cocos."

Xiong Niu nodded, unable to bear her disappointment, comforted her with a smile: "Xiaoqing, I will show you when I find that thing."

"Okay." Yao Xiaoqing said.

The two searched around, and except for some differences in color, they were all the same kind of ugly bugs, but they couldn't find the white and fat silkworm baby.

Disappointed, Yao Xiaoqing went back to the pine forest with Xiongniu and continued to search for Fuling.Those who were sent out had been busy in the mountains and forests for thirty to forty days, and the poria cocos and kudzu roots that had been retrieved filled several warehouses.I also found a lot of fruit trees and went back to plant them in the orchard.

The ramie scattered under the wall and at the foot of the mountain has grown to a length of one meter, and all the ramie leaves are collected and fed back to chickens, ducks and livestock.Livestock fed with ramie leaves are also not prone to blast.

Shan Amu and the women of the collection team put on their knapsacks again.Some went up the mountain to collect mushrooms, some collected wild vegetables, mowed the grass and returned to the tribe to dry and hoard them to feed livestock in winter.

Yao Xiaoqing was happy that the weather finally felt like a hot day, and the ears of wheat in the wheat field began to fill with grout, and she led people to fertilize the wheat.

The wheat planted in summer has also begun to joint and head, the rapeseed has also grown flower buds, and the millet in the fields has begun to bloom.

Pumpkin flowers, wax gourd flowers, beans, peas, and tribes can smell the fragrance of various flowers and plants everywhere.

Everyone has never prayed for rain so that these crops can bear fruit like this year.

Everyone is busy in the field all day, catching insects, driving birds, pollinating, weeding, fertilizing, and it will take half a month to finish working on a large area.

Jiang Li and his staff worked for more than two months before moving all the felled firewood down the mountain, and piled it up at the foot of the mountain to dry in the sun, so that construction can start in the dry season.

Yao Xiaoqing saw that Jiang Li and his men were clearing the road from the tribe to the river, "Jiang Li, it's best to harden this section of the road."

Jiang Li looked at her with a smile, "Xiaoqing, I plan to pave the road from the tribe to the river as a slope, and build two barges in front of the slope as piers."

"Wait until the dry season and then use hardwood to drive stakes by the river to build a water corridor and a hut. At the end of autumn we can hunt fat wild animals. We can also go to the pine forest over there to dig poria cocos and collect wild chestnuts."

What he wants to say in his heart is that having more meat can also relieve some of your burden.

Yao Xiaoqing nodded, "Okay, it's best to carbonize the firewood to be firm."

Jiang Li looked at her puzzled, "Carbonization? How?"
