Going through ancient farming to engage in infrastructure construction

Chapter 320 Chapter 320 Harvested

At this time, the leader of the neighboring tribe rushed to the door, "Shanyang leader, have you gone out to see it?"

Shan Yang turned to look at him, "What do you want me to see?"

Went into the house and sat down, said with a look of jealousy: "I climbed to the mountain today, and saw that the Yaoshan tribe's open land was full of millet. There are still many people at the foot of the mountain who are digging land.

Shanyang leader, I think we should do the same as the Yaoshan tribe, grow more millet and beans. Having food is much better than looking for food in the forest every day. "

Shan Yang curled his lips and spread his hands, "There are no seeds now, so if you want to plant them, you have to wait until the seeds are collected in autumn, and then do it next year!"

"Hey!" He sighed fiercely, "Wait for next year. There is so little food from hunting, how will this year's winter be?"

Shanyang looked at Meng who was frowning so much that he was about to kill a fly, and his heart moved, "Meng, you can go to the Yaoshan tribe to borrow some seeds, and return them to him after the harvest in autumn."

Glancing at him sharply, "I'm afraid that the food I planted won't even bring back the seeds. I heard that you formed an alliance with the Yaoshan tribe, why don't you borrow it?"

Shan Yang was so choked by him that he had nothing to say, he stood up and said, "I'll go to the river to have a look."

"I'll take a look too." She shook her hand and left.

Shan Yang looked at Meng's back, and spat angrily, "Jackal, why don't you think that you begged Yaohu to take over your tribe, and no one else wants it."

A Hong looked at him, "Father, I think what Meng said is right, we should open up the land earlier, and when the seeds are collected in autumn, we can plant them next year."

He paused, "At that time, let's go to the leader of Yaohu and ask him to teach us how to grow food."

"Hey!" Shanyang sighed, sat for a while, and looked up at Ahong, "Open the land first, next year my father will beg the leader of Yaohu."

A Hong stood up, "Okay, I'll take someone to open the land right now."

Ah Hong led a few warriors from the tribe to start cutting down trees. The leader of the tribe next to him saw it and couldn't sit still anymore.

The bamboo grove became lively all of a sudden, people lying idle on the bed also got up and picked up stone axes, and stone hoes began to open up wasteland.

When they demarcated their territories, they also learned from Yao Xiaoqing who used stones to lay down boundary stones to demarcate their territories.

Each tribe used stones as boundary stones, and they were all in their own territory when they opened up the land.

After Huo and Amon left, several nearby tribes divided up their territory.

There are river valleys all the way down the river. People at this time did not pay as much attention to land as later generations, and no one fought for land.

Jiang Li went back with twenty or thirty men, felling small shrubs from under the wall, and clearing away the silt and stones.

It took more than half a month to clear a wide road.

They began to pick up stones, dig clay and pile it up, and waited until enough material had been stored before paving the slope.

At this time, the wall and barn to the east of the Yaoshan tribe had been built, and the winter wheat in the field had matured.

A breeze blows, and the golden ears of wheat set off golden waves of wheat.

Yao Xiaoqing stood in the wheat field, inspected each field, and marked the fields with particularly good growth.

She found that after several selections, the ears of wheat were longer than the previous two years, and the grains were also bigger and fuller.

What is dissatisfied is that there are more deflated children than last year.

She summed it up and thought it was due to the weather.

I just hope that next year will be a good harvest year.

Shan Amu, who was following behind, looked at the golden wheat field and smiled, "Xiaoqing, it's good to have a harvest. Don't be afraid of the bum, just grind it a few more times and you'll be able to eat it."

After hearing this, Yao Xiaoqing smiled and said, "Em is right. We thought that if there is no harvest, we should be satisfied with the harvest."

"Satisfied, satisfied!" Shan Amu nodded repeatedly with a smile, "When the weather is good, let's harvest with the sickle this afternoon, so as not to rain again."

There has been a lot of rain this year. When the weather is good, when a cloud comes over, the raindrops will fall down.

Yao Xiaoqing smiled and waved: "Okay, we'll start cutting after lunch!"

Shan'am happily climbed up the ridge of the field, and went back to prepare the sickle.

In the afternoon, the women went to the wheat field with their sickles, and Abor came with them, pulling a cart with oxen.

Yao Hu, Jiang Li and the others also came to the wheat field before they started to move. They all gathered around the wheat field when they learned that the wheat field that they thought would not be harvested could be harvested.

Yao Xiaoqing looked at Yaohu with a smile, "Father, you take everyone to open the scythe."

Yaohu laughed, looked at the warriors and said, "Okay, today the women rest, let's go to the fields to harvest the wheat."

"Okay, let's come!"

Jiang Li and Leopard took the sickle from Yao Xiaoqing and the others.

"Open the sickle!" Yaohu yelled.

The people around the wheat field also shouted loudly: "Open the sickle! Open the sickle!"

The cries of joy startled the birds standing on the wall.

Everyone followed Yaohu to the field and watched him cut the first scythe, and everyone else waved their hands and started to act.

There was a sound in the wheat field, the rustle of the scythe cutting the stalks.

Yao Xiaoqing found that Jiang Li was still a little clumsy when he cut a few times, but after cutting for a while, the speed picked up.

Leopard and Muba moved much faster, brushing the ground, and cut down a large area in a short while.

The old man who was waiting on the ridge went to the field cheerfully, carried the harvested ears of wheat onto the cart, and drove the cows to the drying ground.

Asu and the others took the wheat down and spread it out to dry.

After two suns, it's time for the threshing machine to play.

Yao Xiaoqing looked at the golden wheat field as if it had been blown by a typhoon, and it became bald in one afternoon.Thinking about it, it's no wonder people say; it's easier to eat when there are fewer people, and it's easier to work if there are more people.

Thank God, it was sunny for two consecutive days, and the ears of wheat in the drying yard were also dried.

Dashi led people to carry the threshing machine built in winter to the drying yard.

Ah Su led a few women to carry the dried wheat to the sides of the threshing machine.

Yao Xiaoqing commanded two men to shake the handle of the threshing machine, and the drum full of iron teeth turned rapidly.

She picked up a handful of wheat stalks and put the ears of wheat on the drum, only to hear the sound of rattling, and all the grains fell into the barrel.

A few people standing aside and watching laughed, and one said: "This threshing machine is really easy to use."

A Su laughed and said, "If you make two more machines, you will be able to work faster."

Yao Xiaoqing taught Ah Hei, and stepped aside, "There will be materials to make in a few days."

"Yeah!" Asu nodded with a smile, "Xiaoqing, you go back! We are here."

"it is good."

After Yao Xiaoqing answered, he left the drying yard and left the tribe. The two rows of yards to the south have already been built.

A road more than ten feet wide was reserved at the position facing the gate, which will lead directly to the bamboo forest when it is paved in the future.

These two rows of courtyards are all made of red bricks, and the outer walls are not white, which looks very festive.

She walked through the alleyway between the two houses and went to the millet field. The millet in the field has begun to fill. Fortunately, the weather has been good for the past few days.
