Going through ancient farming to engage in infrastructure construction

Chapter 356 Chapter 356

Anyway, the rice seeds have been found now, haven't they?Take your time, you will have rice sooner or later!
Yao Xiaoqing put on the bamboo hat, turned around and walked back, and saw Jiang Li pulling a cart into the gate not far from the gate.

"Jiang Li, you're back!"

Jiang Li looked back and saw Yao Xiaoqing walking over wearing a bamboo hat, "You went to see those rice again!"

"Yes!" Yao Xiaoqing smiled and ran a few steps, "Is there almost enough wood left?"

Jiang Li nodded with a smile, "It's almost saved, and you can start making furniture after drying. How is the growth of those rice?"

Yao Xiaoqing shook his head, "It's not that bad, the output is astonishingly low."

Jiang Li saw that she was in a low mood, and persuaded softly: "Take your time, I remember you said that you have to go through gradual optimization, and only with good seeds can the yield be high."

Yao Xiaoqing smiled at him, "I know, what kind of fruit trees did you find when you went into the mountain this time?"

"There are many. There are fruit trees and flower vines. I marked them. I dug up all the small ones and packed them back in straw baskets." Jiang Li said, staring at her deeply. It will be able to fill the entire area along the river bank with fruit trees and flowering trees.”

"Yeah!" Yao Xiaoqing reached out and grabbed the pull rope of the cart, "Let's go! Let's pull it together."

Jiang Li took her hand, "Xiaoqing, wait for two years and the fruit trees and flower vines on the river bank will be alive, and you will be eighteen in two years. Xiaoqing, we will get married by the winter solstice, okay?" ?”

Yao Xiaoqing did not expect that Jiang Li would propose to her here. Although the relationship between the two had already been confirmed, she still hesitated to get married. She looked up at Jiang Li, "Wait for two years, okay?"

Seeing that she didn't refuse, Jiang Li showed a bright smile, "Okay, think about it for the past two years."

Yao Xiaoqing rolled her eyes at him, "Okay, I'll think about it."

Jiang Li looked at her with joy, "Sit on the cart and I'll take you back."

Yao Xiaoqing looked at his sweaty face and shook his head, "It's so hot, I'll help you back."

Jiang Li puffed up the muscles on his arms and looked at her with a smile, "Don't be afraid, you are such a strong man!"

Yao Xiaoqing twisted him, "Cheek-skinned!"

Jiang Li smiled and carried her to the cart, "The handsome boy is taking his wife home!"

"Zhu Bajie is about the same!" Yao Xiaoqing laughed as he said.

Jiang Li took the cart to the foot of the mountain, unloaded the wood in the wooden shed, and the two came out to meet Yaohu, and sat with Dashi in the pergola at the door of the refining room to rest in the cool.

Yao Xiaoqing went over with a smile, "Father, Uncle Dashi, the gazebo by the river is cool, why don't you go there to rest?"

Yaohu smiled and shook his head, "Wait until those children are gone." A group of children were running around there, and the noisy people had headaches, and they couldn't sit and talk for a while.

Dashi looked at Jiang Li, "Jiang Li, I think the wood you are looking for is pretty nice, what are you going to make?"

Jiang Li said with a smile: "I plan to make beds, cabinets, tables and chairs..." He also plans to rebuild the yard and make it their wedding room.

Dashi thought about the patterns on the wood, and nodded repeatedly, "Let's take a look when you finish it, and I'll get some back if it looks good."

Jiang Li nodded with a smile, "Okay, I'll do it for you when the time comes."

"Okay, what you made looks good."

Yaohu looked at the two of them, "I see you are sweating profusely, go back and wash to cool off."

"Hey!" The two nodded and turned around.

Dashi looked at the backs of Jiang Li and Yao Xiaoqing for a while, then looked back at Yaohu, "Boss, Boss Xiaoqing is already a big girl, she and Jiang Li should be married as well!"

Yaohu smiled and nodded, "Xiaoqing knows everything else. She said that she is still young, and she will think about it in two years. She also said that girls in the tribe will not reach the age of 16 in the future. It must be paired with another person. It is said that the age of the male-female pairing is too young, the children born after the pairing are not healthy, and the women are prone to illness and death."

After hearing this, Dashi remembered what Hua said, "Hua said what Xiaoqing said, women are too young to give birth to babies. Let Yaya find a man to match with later. If there are good men in the future, you can also recruit tribal pairings. Hua said that Yaya Fortunately, you don't have to leave us in the future, and you don't have to pair up early to have a baby."

Yaohu smiled and said: "She is the leader, and she has more things in her mind than us, so she can do whatever she wants."

He believed in his daughter, she led everyone to establish the Yaoshan tribe, and he believed that she could build the Yaoshan tribe better.

***
Time flies, and two years are fleeting.

The banks of the river in the territory of the Yaoshan tribe, and both sides of the pier verandah, have already been planted with exotic flowers and plants, but clusters of colorful flowers are blooming enthusiastically in the sun.

As the breeze blows, flowers of various shapes sway in the wind, attracting bees and butterflies to dance, and the fragrance of flowers faintly wafts out, refreshing and intoxicating.

On the bank of the river, Jiang Li led people to make wooden chairs with carbonized wood. In summer, people from nearby tribes gathered on the bank of the river, and everyone sat on the wooden chairs built on the bank to enjoy the cool and play.

It has also become a place where young men and women from various tribes meet together.

The ponds at the foot of the Tribe Mountain were also filled with lotus flowers he found in the opposite mountain by Jiang Li. Everyone sat in the gazebo by the pond and watched the fish play under the lotus leaves.

Jiang Li also led people to build a water mill on the canal under the spring. The water mill is composed of aqueducts, water wheels, millstones and millshafts.

The well-shaped beams and columns are wrapped with the thick ropes of the arms, and the heavy stone millstone is suspended in the middle to grind together with the millstone of the lower fan. The lower fan is driven by a water wheel, which drives the wooden wheel to drive the stone mill. With a rectangular wooden surface...

The nearby tribes can grind flour and pound rice in mills with very little food.

In the Yaoshan tribe, they bought fine wheat, millet and beans in spring and autumn, and wheat in winter. The tribes by the Ning River have already lived a life without worrying about food and clothing in advance.

There were conflicts and disputes among the tribes, and everyone went to the Yaoshan tribe to find the retired leader Yaohu to resolve the disputes.

The men and women in the Qingshan Tribe married the warriors and women of the Yaoshan Tribe. They are now both Qingshan and Yaoshan tribesmen.

After Heiba ​​got married, Jiang Li passed on the position of leader to Heiba.But he didn't want to, they didn't want to leave Jiang Li, the Qingshan Tribe was where Jiang Li was.

He felt that the Qingshan tribe belonged to Jiang Li and could only be passed on to Jiang Li and Yao Xiaoqing's children.

During these two years, Yao Xiaoqing found silkworm seeds on a mulberry tree, raised the first batch of white and fat silkworm eggs, and wove better and softer cloth.

She also used wheat, yeast, ramie leaves... to make distiller's yeast. After several attempts, she finally made baijiu from sorghum and distilled alcohol.

Yao Xiaoqing asked people to publish the methods of making tofu and piercing the nostrils for cows.

We have cows to help plow the land, and the crops we plant are better.

After the production method of bean products was made public, the tribes who came to the market all came to the Yaoshan tribe to customize stone mills.

In the past two years, the Yaoshan tribe has stored enough grain to face three years of natural disasters with no crops.Yao Xiaoqing finally managed to have food in his hands without panicking.

The sun shines with dazzling golden light, and she shuttles in the middle of the golden rice fields with a bright smile on her face.

After two optimizations, the longest ear of rice in the paddy field has more than 50 grains of rice, and the shortest ear of rice has more than 30 grains.

After the first year's rice was planted, forty to fifty catties of rice were harvested.In the second year, she planted all the selected rice seeds.In the third year, all the rice seeds harvested from more than ten acres of paddy fields were sown, and finally all the more than 100 acres of fields near the river were planted with seedlings.

With more than 100 mu of rice, this year the Yaoshan tribe can finally open their stomachs and eat delicious big white rice.
