Going through ancient farming to engage in infrastructure construction

Chapter 39 39 Cement Oyster Ash
Yao Xiaoqing closed the door and started to practice. After more than an hour, she ran to the top of the mountain and ran around the trees quickly. When she first started running fast, she accidentally bumped into a tree trunk.

After practicing for half an hour, she regained her senses, and her speed became faster and faster. She felt that the original owner's body was very flexible, agile and explosive, and it was more suitable for martial arts than her previous body.

After practicing the speed, he stopped and hit the trees to practice his fist and kick ability. Finally, he took out the small stones on his back and threw them until his hands and feet felt sore, then he put away the stones and went down the mountain.

When I reached the foot of the mountain, I saw Shuibo and Chongbo, who took the dug out roots and trunks to the foot of the mountain and piled them up to dry.

Yao Xiaoqing went up the mountain and entered the yard, and Hua came out of the cave carrying the burnt earthen jar.

"Xiaoqing, the food is put in the jar, do you still want to burn those mud flakes and ashes?"

"I'll wash it and eat it. There's no need to burn the mud flakes and ashes. I'll pick them all up and put them in a dustpan. I'll use them later."

Hua smiled and nodded, "Hey! After I put the pot into the fire pit, you watch the fire at home, and I'll go down the mountain to help."

"You go later, I'll dry the salt, and I have to go down the mountain."

"Okay." Hua picked up all the burnt ash balls and mud flakes into the dustpan, put the clay pot into the fire pit, piled up the firewood and lit the fire to continue firing the pot.

Yao Xiaoqing spread the salt and dried it in a dustpan, went in and had dinner, then went down the mountain to the river with a wooden shovel and a shovel.

Walking to a dry river beach, I saw small fish and river shrimp swimming in the shallow pond.

Thinking of frying the river prawns in oil, the glutton came up and thought: I will bring a bucket later, and use a dipping net to catch some river prawns back.

Dried and ground into powder is the natural monosodium glutamate.

Picking up the gravel and walking back, I suddenly saw a lot of clamshell-like things in the collapsed sand and gravel layer at the dry place of the river.

Yao Xiaoqing walked over with a wooden shovel, dug a few times in the sand and gravel, and saw that there were many shellfish shells mixed in the sand and gravel below.

She looked at the shells, and it felt as beautiful as sleepiness meeting a pillow, just in time.I thought to myself: This is all right, don't worry about not having enough plant ash, sieve out these shells and burn them into oyster ash, the adhesion is much better than the cement fired from plant ash.

Yao Xiaoqing happily returned to the yard with a bag full of sand and gravel, and put down the sand and gravel.Crush the burnt clay flakes with a stone and set aside for later use.

Scooped out a bucket of water, put the burnt plant ash into the bucket, and saw that the ash was like a lime in the water, and it started to "bubble" and melted in the water after a while. inside.

Stir it with a wooden stick, pour more than half of it into the sand and gravel, and pour the rest into the broken mud. After mixing well, pinch two small square bricks and put them aside, and the rest is paste in the trough.

Yao Xiaoqing looked at the finished toilet trough and clapped his hands, picked up two small square bricks and took a look, waited for it to dry to see whether the hardness of the mixed sand and gravel was better, or the broken mud pieces, which could be related to Her plan to build a house.

After finishing all this, Hua took the stone ax and went down the mountain to work. Yao Xiaoqing went to carry a bundle of vines, planning to weave a sieve, tie it to a wooden frame and take it to the river to sift out the shells, and bring them back to burn oysters. Ash.

Before the screen was finished, something hit him on the head. "Golden Retriever," Yao Xiaoqing looked up in surprise, saw the golden retriever hanging on the wood of the fence, and yelled at her.

The golden retriever jumped down from the fence and jumped in front of her. Yao Xiaoqing hugged it, "Ha~~, little golden retriever, you are finally back, what should you do? Sister, there is nothing you like to eat here, I How about going to make you an omelette?"

The golden retriever looked at her and screamed, one person and one monkey expressed their joy in their own words.

Yao Xiaoqing led the golden retriever into the cave, washed his hands, fried a duck egg and kudzu root pancake for it, cooled it down and gave it to the golden retriever, "Here is the golden retriever, eat and see, do you like it?"

The golden retriever grabbed the omelet and started to eat it. After a while, he ate one piece of omelet. With a grin, he patted her stomach to indicate that he was full, and then walked outside.

Yao Xiaoqing happily followed the golden retriever to the yard, sat down and continued to weave the mesh screen, and the golden retriever sat beside her, hopping here and there.

Yaohu, Dashi and the others went to the bottom of the cliff, and Mufeng and Zhu climbed up to put the rock salt into a basket, and hung it to the foot of the mountain with a climbing rope.Yaohu and the others hung the empty back basket on the grapple again, and pulled it over to continue loading rock salt.

When the six baskets were filled, the few people hurried back.Get out of the valley, avoid the dense forest and climb up the mountain.

I don’t know why there are few big trees on the mountain here, and there are thorns all over the mountain. From here, I climbed over two hills and went down to the foot of the mountain. The distance is shorter than walking to the top of the mountain.

Walking to the foot of the mountain with a wooden stick, everyone sat around and took out kudzu powder cakes and ate them.

Mufeng said to Yaohu: "Father, why did the Shenmu tribe travel farther to hunt here? Are the wild animals on the Shenmu mountain gone?"

Yaohu thought about it for a while, and found that apart from the occasional mention that there were witches in the Shenmu tribe, he seldom heard about the Shenmu tribe.

"I don't know. The Shenmu tribe has never had contact with us except in exchange for salt and magic medicine, and I have never heard of them exchanging women with other tribes."

Dashi nodded, "Yes, I've heard people say that they don't pair up with foreigners."

After eating and drinking, everyone walked back along the foot of the mountain with their baskets on their backs, beat the grass with wooden sticks, and moved forward through the bushes.Walking all the way, I found several clusters of kudzu, taro, and yam vines.

Everyone walked to the pond, and Pig took a look at the pond, "No wonder Xiaoqing said to surround the pond with stone walls. There are a lot of fish in the pond."

"We used to know how to eat grilled fish in the tribe, but we didn't expect fish soup to taste better than meat soup." Shan said with a smile.

Mu Feng said loudly: "No way, I think the bone soup is delicious, and the oil inside the bone is delicious."

"I think the most regrettable thing is the large intestine, small intestine, and the oil in the belly of wild boar and goat. After refining, you can make pancakes. And Xiaoqing's frying pan, what is it made of, and this ax , why can't we do something like this?" Xiong Niu was a little puzzled in his words.

Dashi patted him, "Xiong Niu, don't think about it, it was given to Xiaoqing by the gods. Gods! They all live in the sky."

Everyone was chattering, and they arrived at the foot of the mountain in a blink of an eye. Turning their heads, they saw Yao Xiaoqing and Hua walking over with a basket of things, and the golden-haired monkey was jumping up and down in front of them.

Seeing Yaohu and the others, Yao Xiaoqing shouted happily, "Father, you are back so early!"

"Hey!" Yaohu responded loudly.Several people climbed up the steps and entered the yard with their back baskets on their backs.

Seeing them coming back, Amu Yun went up to meet them happily, and took Mu Feng's back basket, "I brought so many back, now I don't have to worry about running out of salt."
