Going through ancient farming to engage in infrastructure construction

Chapter 59 60 Busy
Yao Xiaoqing looked at the chubby yam in the pig's back basket, "Brother, have you ever seen a lump of soil the size of a waterfowl's egg growing on a yam vine?"

Mu Feng nodded and said, "Yes, there are bunches of leaves squeezed under the leaves, there are many."

"That's a good thing. Tomorrow you take Shan Amu and the others to pick all the yam beans."

She pulled some straps, "That would be great if you can eat it too, I can pick two baskets back."

"It can be eaten, so pick it up and make seeds first." Yao Xiaoqing said with a smile.

The three of them talked and laughed and returned to the yard. Ah Chong and Ah Shui had already skinned and cut the wild boar into strips, and they were waiting for Yao Xiaoqing to come back to marinate.

Hua saw the kudzu root and yam that Mufeng and the others had brought back, and said with a smile, "Mufeng, why don't you go find some sweet potatoes and poria cocos?"

He smiled and said, "Flowers, it's not bad if you can find them, but you're still picky."

Only then did Yao Xiaoqing realize that the people here all know potato foods such as yams and taro, but they don’t know tuckahoe and don’t know where it grows.

Mufeng saw the pork on the slate, "Hey, did you catch a wild boar again in the trap?"

A Chong shook his head, pointed at the wild boar and said to Mu Feng and Zhu: "Xiaoqing and A Cai caught it back."

Mu Feng and Zhu gave Yao Xiaoqing a thumbs up, "Xiaoqing, you are too good!"

"Hey!" Yao Xiaoqing smiled embarrassedly, "I'm lucky, I met a stupid pig and poked its fangs into a tree trunk..."

Mu Feng and Zhu's eyes widened, "There is such a good thing, alas! Why haven't we encountered it before?"

"Mufeng, who has met something good?" Yun'am's voice sounded.

Everyone looked back and saw Yun Amu walking into the yard with a basket on his back.Mu Feng hurriedly went up to take their back baskets, which were full.

Hua looked at the things in the back basket and laughed, "I just told Mu Feng, why didn't they bring Poria back, and Emma did."

"I found three pieces, and when I dug it up, it would be a full basket," Yun Amu wiped the sweat off his face, "Xiaoqing, look at those mushrooms, are they all edible?"

Yao Xiaoqing nodded, "Pour it out first, and clean up the mud and rot."

He dumped the mushrooms in the basket on the ground, and Yao Xiaoqing picked out a few bright red mushrooms with white spots on the surface of the mushrooms, and a few red-skinned mushrooms...

"Amu, from now on, you will pick up the ones I taught you last time. Don't pick up those you don't know. If you eat them like this, you will be poisoned."

Yun'am glanced at Mu Ya, nodded and said, "We remember." Mu Ya turned his head and curled his lips, sat on the bamboo stool and watched everyone chatting and laughing coldly.

After Shan Amu and the others came back, the yard became even more lively.

Shan Amu took two women to make food, and Yao Xiaoqing taught them to use Sophora japonica, kudzu root powder and duck eggs to steam some Sophora japonica cakes.

Yun Amu took two women to clean the kudzu root, Mufeng and Zhu smashed kudzu root powder, Yao Xiaoqing fried salt-cured pork, and Hua took Da Amu to clean the mushrooms, string them on thin vines and hang them on the fence.

Before the things in the yard were cleaned up, Muba and Xiong Niu entered the yard carrying a dozen wild ducks, followed by the boulder and the mountain carrying a basket of fish, and they were all in a mess.

It seems that there is a lot of food recovered, nearly [-] people, and the food consumed for each meal is not a small amount, and food must be stored for winter.

It was already dark, and a bonfire was lit in the yard.

Night food, kudzu powder flower cake, pig large intestine, small intestine, pork belly fried with wild garlic sprouts, there is nothing left in several large pots of food.

After putting down the bowl, everyone started to get busy again.

Some men pound kudzu root powder and poria cocos powder to filter impurities, soak the sediment, some use flint to grind arrowheads and stone spears, and some use sun-dried bear bones to grind bone spurs and bone knives.

Yao Xiaoqing led the women, stringed the marinated meat and wild ducks on the rack, and piled some fragrant leaves and pine branches under the rack for smoking.After the fish is washed and soaked in salt water, it is cut into small pieces, stringed and hung on bamboo poles to dry the fish.

The remaining wild vegetables were scalded with boiling water, squeezed dry and spread out to dry in the dustpan. After finishing all the work, everyone's backs were sore.

Yao Xiaoqing straightened up, looked up at the sky full of stars and the disc-like moon, thinking that it was the fifteenth day of January again.

Yaohu held up the straw sandals and shouted, "Xiaoqing, go to bed early."

"Yeah! I'll go after washing." Yao Xiaoqing looked at a group of men carrying straw sandals and smiled.

Amu Yun scooped hot water into the bucket, carried it into the latrine, walked to her side, and said softly, "Xiaoqing, are you tired! Amu has mixed hot water for you, go wash and go to sleep. "

Yao Xiaoqing smiled at her, "Thank you, Eminem! You guys also clean up to relieve fatigue."

Amu Yun said with a smile: "Hua said that using hot water to burn her feet will make her sleep better. I will try it too."

When Yao Xiaoqing came out after washing, he saw Dashi, Xiongniu and Mufeng spread the animal skins in the yard, and the three of them were lying on the animal skins sprawled, snoring.

After looking at the food hanging in the yard, Yao Xiaoqing opened the door of the bamboo shed, got into a sleeping bag, and soon fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, just after dawn, Shan Amu and Hua got up to cook food.

Yaohu woke up the sleeping adults, and everyone ate food quietly.

The hunters brought food to eat on the road, leaving behind Yao Xiaoqing and Yaya who were sleeping soundly, as well as Muya and Wolf, and a group of people went to the place where kudzu roots and yams were piled up.

Dashi, Shan, Mufeng, and Xiongniu carried baskets, bows and arrows, and stone spears on their backs, and walked towards the cliff with rock salt.By that day, it was already bright, and Yaohu led his men to dig taro and yam.

A few women in Shan'am picked the yam beans from the vines, and everyone got busy.

Yao Xiaoqing got up and saw the wolf sitting on the bamboo stool digging the barrel, and only then did he know that Yaohu and the others had already gone to carry kudzu root.

After she came back from practice and ate food, she took out the kudzu root powder and Poria cocos powder in the bucket, broke them into small pieces and dried them in the dustpan.The bacon that had been smoked overnight was moved into the cave, and several shelves were built not far from the earthen stove to hang the meat.Seeing the shelves full of bacon, cured pork ribs, pig feet, and pig liver, Yao Xiaoqing smiled.

The wolf looked at the busy Yao Xiaoqing, then at the sleeping Muya, sighed, and went out with a stone knife to continue digging the barrel.

After Yao Xiaoqing hung the mushrooms on the fence, he went down the mountain with a shovel.Open the kiln, shovel out the fired shells and pile them in the corner of the bamboo shed, and start loading shells into the kiln again.

A layer of shells and a layer of firewood are put into the kiln, and the sun is already high when the two kilns are filled.

I lit the fire and burned it for nearly an hour. I looked at the sun above and found that it was time to cook lunch again.

　It's the end of the month, cat, beg for a monthly ticket with the cheek, recommend a ticket!
