Going through ancient farming to engage in infrastructure construction

Chapter 37 Chapter 37
"After death, he can enjoy offerings and sacrifices like a god, and he can protect his relatives in the sky."

Everyone murmured and discussed, "In the future, we will be able to sacrifice to our grandmother and beg her to protect us like we sacrifice to gods."

Everyone felt that begging for the protection of relatives was more useful than begging the gods, not to mention that the gods told Xiaoqing.

Yaohu wanted to understand the meaning of the surname, and felt that it was a good thing for people to have a surname.He thought about it and asked again: "Xiaoqing, what does the blood oath mean?"

Yao Xiaoqing recalled the blood oath scenes on TV, and felt that a passage said by the ancients during the oath is most suitable for people of this era.

"The gods said that the swearer needs to kill the live prey, smear the blood of the prey, and swear to the gods. If the swearer breaks the oath, the god will punish him, and his life will be the same as the swearing prey."

Yaohu nodded and said: "Yes! After taking an oath to the gods and breaking the oath, it is a violation of the gods, and he should be punished."

"Xiao Qing, do you have to make an oath for your surname?" Mu Feng asked.

Yao Xiaoqing looked at him and smiled, "No, in the future when someone asks you what your name is, you should tell him that your surname is Yao, your name is Mufeng, and your full name is Yao Mufeng."

Pig pointed to himself, "My surname is Yao, and my name is Pig."

Yao Xiaoqing nodded with a smile, "Yes! Your name is Yaoyu, Yaya is Yao Yaya, Uncle Dashi is Yao Dashi..."

Everyone chanted their names after her.Yaohu stood up and looked at them and said, "Our Yaoshan tribe will be a tribe with a surname in the future. We need to make more wooden spears, wooden arrows, flint arrowheads, and wooden spears. We also need to practice more archery skills."

Everyone had an unprecedented look on their faces, and they responded loudly: "Yes, leader."

Xiongniu turned back to the old question, "Xiaoqing, what should we do if the Shenmu tribe finds us?"

The evil ones are afraid of violence, and the violent ones are afraid of death. They are all in such a state. It may not be so easy to want her life.

Yao Xiaoqing looked at everyone, "Let's make more weapons. As long as they dare to come, we will fight with them. Let's go together, kill one to save money, and kill two to earn one."

Everyone was excited by her murderous look, and they all stood up. Yaohu said in a deep voice: "Xiaoqing is right, as long as they dare to come, we will fight them."

As long as you have no fear in your heart, you will not be easily defeated.

Yao Xiaoqing looked at them with satisfaction, and said to Mu Feng: "Next, I want to see if the rock you brought back is not salty."

Yaohu said to Mufeng: "Mufeng, go and show Xiaoqing the stone you brought back. Xiaoqing, go ahead."

"Father took two people to the river to fish, hunt ducks, and water birds. Every day, he had to arrange for one person to go to the cave, find a big tree to hide in it, and report to the people down the mountain when he found someone coming."

"The river bank is so long, there must be a lot of food like kudzu root, yam, and taro. You need to find these foods, and you can dig them home and eat them."

Shan Amu nodded and said, "Okay, we will look for it tomorrow."

Yao Xiaoqing went on to say: "Others moved stones back to build a wall, and surrounded the open land, ditches and ponds just like the outside."

Yaohu and others looked at her in surprise, "Xiaoqing, the land below is so big, how can I surround it with stones?"

"I will find a solution." Yao Xiaoqing looked at Yaohu, "Father, build a wall as high as a person with stones, and the enemy will not burn it even if it is burned. We surrounded the land and ditches inside, and there is Without food and water, we won’t be afraid even if the giant bear tribe comes!”

Yaohu nodded and said, "Okay, we will all listen to you."

After they finished talking, Mu Feng put two rocks in front of Yao Xiaoqing, "Look, I think this one is salty salt, it's so big, you have to smash it to eat it."

Yao Xiaoqing picked up the light yellow piece, a light yellow and transparent rock with a luster like glass.

She licked it, "Yes, this is salt, but there are too many impurities in it, I can use it after I melt it out. Father, let's save more salt."

"Okay, before the Shenmu tribe finds us, let's go again tomorrow and bring back some more. Uncle Shan and Shui, go and pack up the prey. Pig, Mufeng, and Xiongniu go to practice arrows, and Dashi and I make weapons. .”

Everyone went to work separately, Yaohu looked at Ah Chong who was still pale, "Uncle Chong, what's wrong with you?"

"I was bitten by a long insect. Fortunately, Xiaoqing gave me the magic medicine, and it is already cured. I will also peel it." Ah Chong said, stood up, and walked out.

"Uncle Chong," Yaohu called to stop him, "There is still a lot to do, you should sleep well for a night, and get up tomorrow morning to watch on the mountain."

Yao Xiaoqing poured out a bowl of herbs from the jar, "Uncle Chong, drink the medicine and go to sleep!"

"Hey!" Ah Chong wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, picked up the bowl and drank it in two gulps.

Shan Amu and Yun Amu went to barbecue outside, and YY sat in front of her, "Qinggu, where is the golden retriever, why hasn't it come back?"

Yao Xiaoqing thought to herself: Little thing with no conscience, he won't come back after eating the ham sausage.

"YY came back after waking up after sleeping."

YY nodded, "Oh! I fell asleep."

Yao Xiaoqing picked up a piece of rock salt, put it on the cutting board, crushed the rock salt with a stone like a stone pestle, put it in a large clay pot, boiled it over high heat, and then burned it slowly over low heat.

Yao Xiaoqing did not take the clay pot off the clay stove until he saw a large number of white crystals in the pot. After the pot cooled, he scraped the salt off the pot with a spoon and put it into another clean pot. .

Looking at the impurities in the salt, Yao Xiaoqing thought: What should I do?Where can I find activated carbon here?

Activated charcoal and charcoal should be the same thing. She slapped her head, found two long branches, picked up some red-hot firewood sticks from the stove, put them into a jar, and covered it.

Go out and move all the rock salt that Mufeng and the others carried back into the cave, and found two pieces of plaster inside.

Yao Xiaoqing took the gypsum and put it away, thinking: gypsum is a good thing. When beans are grown, bean curd can be made by chiseling a stone mill.

It's just that I don't know how much effort it takes to chisel it into a stone mill?
After crushing all the rock salt, I found that most of the rock salt was mixed with a lot of black and gray dirty things, just like the salt that the tribe exchanged from the Wuxian tribe, there were many impurities.

Yao Xiaoqing speculated that the salt of the Wuxian tribe may be crushed rock salt.

Crush all the rock salt into jars, exactly two and a half jars of rock salt mixed with various impurities.

Yao Xiaoqing scooped several bowls of water into the jar and began to boil the salt.She went to the bamboo shed to take out the bandages that had been washed, scalded and boiled last time, cut them into lengths of more than a foot with scissors, connected them together with a needle and thread, and sewed them into a gauze bag.
