Going through ancient farming to engage in infrastructure construction

Chapter 56 Chapter 57
"It went to play for a few days and came back."

Yao Xiaoqing thought to herself: No wonder I didn't see the golden retriever all morning, so I went with Yaya.

Shan Amu dug out a few thick stick-like white rhizomes from the back basket, and handed them to her, "Xiaoqing, what are these?"

Yao Xiaoqing took a look, and was delighted: Haha!It turned out to be radishes. I didn't expect to find radishes here.

Seeing her happy face, Amu Shan knew that she had found something good, and asked with a smile: "Xiaoqing, can this thing be planted? Go dig some plants in the afternoon and plant them in the ground?"

"Yes, the field is already full of plants, so I have to plant another field next to it, and collect the seeds after flowering. It is best to eat radish stewed lamb in winter."

"Also, the vegetables and millet seeds in the field have already grown, so we have to pull out the weeds, sprinkle some plant ash and apply some fertilizer."

Seeing her happy look, Shan Amu was also very happy, "Okay, you teach us."

Yuzi smiled and asked, "Qingwu, can you teach us?"

"Okay! If you want to learn, I will teach you. When you learn it, I will cross my legs and bask in the sun."

Everyone laughed.

Big Em put down the basket, looked around but couldn't find Mu Ya, and asked anxiously: "Qingwu, have you seen Mu Ya?"

Yao Xiaoqing said: "Sleeping under the tree outside the fence!"

Big Ah Mu smiled embarrassedly at Yao Xiaoqing, and ran down the mountain.

Shan Amu said to Yao Xiaoqing angrily: "Xiaoqing, Muya..."

Yao Xiaoqing raised her hand to stop her, "Mum, you don't need to be as knowledgeable as her. In a few days, if she still behaves like this, you will form a team to collect food."

Shan Amu nodded and said, "Understood, I will wash the vegetables and make the dried vegetables you mentioned."

Big Ah Mu stood there and looked at Mu Ya, who was sleeping soundly against the tree trunk, and felt that she was too embarrassing for her father. How should the people of the Yaoshan tribe think of him? Not as good.

Mu Ya felt the staring eyes, opened her eyes and saw the big Em who was staring at her.

Aggrieved and shouted: "Big Ah Mu, I..."

Big Ah Mu looked at her and scolded in a low voice: "Muya, you pushed the wolf on the ground and left. Don't you know that his legs can't walk?"

Mu Ya muttered, "I didn't do it on purpose, who asked him to pull me."

Big Ah Mu looked at her, jumped up angrily, and growled angrily: "Why are you so disobedient? You thought that when your father was around, everyone would give in to you, didn't you see? Muba and the others You have more respect for Yaohu than your father, so be honest!"

Mu Ya also stomped her feet and growled, "Why am I dishonest? They dislike me when I go to work. That Yao Xiaoqing just sits on the mountain and does nothing. Why don't they talk about her? "

Spear was dumbfounded when he heard it on the tree: What are you talking about, when will we respect the leader of Yao and Hu more than the leader of Yang?And Qingwu has been busy all morning, which eye of yours sees people and does nothing?It's really turning black and white.

Big Ah Mu poked her on the forehead, gritted his teeth and said, "Be more honest from now on! If you look like this, I will be kicked out by you sooner or later!"

Muya covered her forehead and looked at Big A'Mu, "I'm not being honest, just drive me away! Let's go to another tribe."

"Go to another tribe," Big Amu looked at her coldly, "Think about those women in the Sishan tribe, what do they eat all day long? Other tribes, like you, still want to have food. It also makes you full, you are dreaming!"

After finishing speaking, Big Ah Mu turned around and left, leaving Muya standing there blankly, thinking about what happened to those women in the Sishan tribe?
At this moment, all the men working at the bottom of the mountain returned to the yard. Muba and Xiong Niu carried a basket of fish and put it in front of Yao Xiaoqing, "Xiaoqing, look at so many fish, what should we eat?"

Yao Xiaoqing looked at the fish in the basket, the smallest of which was five or six catties a piece, picked up the eating methods that can be prepared here, and said: "Dried fish, chopped fish balls, boiled fish soup, grilled fish, what do you want to eat?" .”

Xiong Niu said from the side: "Everything is fine except grilled fish."

"Okay, when you get back in the afternoon, chop up the fish balls and eat them, and marinate them and dry them in the sun."

Hua came over with a bone knife, "Xiaoqing, I'm here to kill the fish, should I still save the fish fat?"

Yao Xiaoqing nodded, "Yes! Let's kill two more together."

Yuzi and another woman came over with stone knives and killed fish with Hua.

Yaohu stood under the tree and said to the spear: "Come down, the Shenmu tribe has already come..."

Spear came down from the tree and said with a smile: "So they came from the river, no wonder I didn't see them."

Xiong Niu smiled and said, "I think they were scared by Xiao Qing and Zhu hiding in the tree."

Mao smiled and nodded, "Yes, they are scared."

Yaohu told Yao Xiaoqing about the Shenmu tribe's battle appointment, "Xiaoqing, what do you think they will find to restrain their bows and arrows?"

Yao Xiaoqing glanced at the scorpion in the yard, and said in a low voice: "Father, if they make something that restrains bows and arrows, the damage to them will be greatly reduced when the arrows are fired, and close combat still depends on fists and kicks." kung fu and sharp weapons."

Yaohu followed her gaze to see the 箢篼, and after thinking about it for a while, he understood what Yao Xiaoqing meant. It turned out that it was so easy to restrain bows and arrows.

"I understand, I will let everyone make more bone knives, and go to the mountains to hunt and fight wild beasts, so that everyone can be more brave."

"Father is right." Yao Xiaoqing glanced at the mountains of various rocks piled up in the open space at the foot of the mountain, and felt that adding the two uncles from the Sishan tribe and leaving two people at home would be enough.

"You leave two people at home to build walls, and you take the rest of the people out to hunt in turn, and you have to collect more salt stones to come back."

Yaohu looked at her with some guilt, "Okay, just teach them how to do it, don't get exhausted."

Yao Xiaoqing nodded, "Don't worry!" The father and daughter discussed it, and Yaohu went to arrange staff.

Yao Xiaoqing took the flowers and taro seeds to chop off the head of the killed fish, made a few deep cuts on the thick part of the fish, soaked it in warm salt water, and dried it in an hour or so.

When it was time for dinner, Muba came up from the mountain with Mu Ya, and everyone pretended not to see them, busy with their work.

After lunch, Yao Xiaoqing threaded the fish on a string and hung it on a bamboo pole, left the flowers to burn earthen pots at home, and asked Yun Amu to take Big Amu and two women to find mushrooms in the forest , she carried the engineering shovel and walked towards the place where the radishes were collected and the pea flowers were blooming together with Shan'amuzi and Asu.

Along the way, I picked some hemorrhoids, motherwort, and ashes, and walked for almost two hours before arriving at the place where the radishes grew.

There is a piece of land as big as a large kitchen table, and most of the radishes have already bolted, and small white flowers have bloomed.

Yao Xiaoqing caressed the small white flowers lightly, and said to Shan'am: "Amu, come and see it in a few days. When its seeds are mature, we will cut them back and store them."

Shan Amu nodded, "Okay, I'll cut some branches to block it, so as not to be ruined by wild animals."
