Going through ancient farming to engage in infrastructure construction

Those pumpkins were also on the vine, and they had golden pumpkin flowers.

Since then, Yao Xiaoqing has done one more thing, which is to take the flowers and Dongxue to pick the stamens of the male flowers to pollinate the female flowers, and to cut off the over-branched vines on the pumpkin vines, leaving four or five sides of each pumpkin vine. Vine, so as not to have too many melon vines, which will take away nutrients.

The knocked-off melon vines and male flowers are taken back, the fluff on the melon vines is torn off, and short sections are selected, rubbed with some salt, cleaned, squeezed out the water, and stir-fried with minced garlic is another good dish.

The weather was getting hotter and hotter. Once, Shan Amu and the others picked up a lot of duck eggs by the river where they had never picked up duck eggs.

Yao Xiaoqing planned to soak the salted duck eggs, washed the eggs with flowers, and dried them in the dustpan.Put the salt into the water and boil it, then pour it into the jar after cooling, and put the dried duck eggs into the salt water.

I went to find a small piece of animal skin on the shelf, pretended to spread some sand in it, tied it with a rope, put the sandbag on the mouth of the altar to seal the mouth of the altar, and it will be ready to eat after half a month.

When Yaohu led people to build the wall, Yao Xiaoqing led people to deepen and widen the ditch on the mountain to the foot of the mountain.

The ditches at the foot of the mountain and the low-lying places under the ponds were cleaned and consolidated, and the original small ditch was deepened and widened to form a drainage ditch about two meters wide and one meter deep.

The gutters below the walls were covered with a layer of mortar and filled with chiseled flint.Another wooden fence made of carbonized hardwood was installed inside the fence.Prevent people from drilling into the gutter after being discovered.

After the wall is built, it is [-] meters high.To the south is the main gate, and to the north, a small gate is left at the foot of the pond to make it easier for everyone to enter and exit.Where the original steps were, there was also a door.

The upper and lower thresholds of the gate are made of feldspar strips and yellow bricks, and the grooves are made of yellow bricks at the position of the door frame, and the chopped wood is inlaid and sealed with oyster ash.

Two pillars were built with yellow bricks behind the door, and two grooves were built one meter apart to place the door bars.

The entire wall is combined with the platform of the cave, and the enemy has to use a long ladder to enter if he wants to enter.

Yao Xiaoqing took Yaohu and the others to find all the logs that had been felled and dried in the sun.It took another ten days to complete the several doors.

This time, Yaohu listened to Yao Xiaoqing's suggestion, and came up with a new method.He led people to select wood with uniform thickness. After the wood was chopped, he used a stone chisel made of flint to chisel out square mortise, and then used several long pieces of wood to pass through the mortise to connect the wood together, and then beat them with a wooden hammer. Tight, and then framed with a door frame.

After the two gates were completed, they were placed there. At a glance, they were not at the same level as the wooden gates made for the first time.Doors made in this way are more beautiful and firmer.

Yao Xiaoqing looked at the finished wooden doors and admired them.She just provided an idea and some suggestions for operation. Even with such primitive and crude tools, they will find ways to do better.

Everything was ready, except for the log for the door panel. Yaohu felt that the hollowed log was not strong, so he went to the river to find a few stones in the shape of a mortar and carried them back.

After Yao Xiaoqing saw it, he took people to find two mortars the size of washbasins and came back to make powder.

In the evening of that day, all the people of the Yaoshan tribe, Yao Xiaoqing and the people of the tribe stood at the gate, watching Yaohu and Mufeng lift a gate and install it on the door cover. After the two gates were installed, everyone There was a happy smile on his face.

Muba smiled and said, "Leader, let's try to close it."

Yao Hu nodded with a smile, and said to Yao Xiaoqing, "Come here, Xiaoqing, and close the door with Father."

"Okay." Yao Xiaoqing replied brightly.Go over and hold a door with Yaohu alone, close the door, pick up the door lever that was put aside and fasten the door.

Yaohu shouted loudly: "It's closed, try it, can you push it?"

Muba, Dashi, Dashu and a dozen warriors all stepped forward and bumped hard together a few times.

Yao Xiaoqing watched the door banging, but was not knocked open by them.

I thought: After the frame of the house is built, I have to go to the tung oil tree, pick some tung seeds, squeeze the oil and brush the door again, so that it can last for a long time.

Dashi and the others yelled outside: "Boss, the door is very strong and won't be pushed open."

Yaohu opened the door, smiled and said to them: "Go, install the other doors."

Everyone responded loudly, and entered the gate with smiles on their faces. Looking at the open land in front of him, Shan Amu said with a smile: "Look, if everything is planted in this area, we may not be able to eat it until we die." use up."

Yun Amu smiled and shook her head, "A Cai, where can I find so many seeds in such a wide field?"

Uncle Achun smiled and said: "The millet in our field is much better than that grown in Yaoshan, and a lot of millet can be harvested from that small piece of land."

Shan Amu nodded, "That's right! The millet can be planted and planted. Isn't there more seeds?"

Listening to their discussion, Yao Xiaoqing thought about five or six hundred acres of land, and replaced it with modern ones, bought a walking tractor to plow the land, bought a rice transplanter, and bought a harvester, and it would not take many people to cultivate it. .

Here, there is not even a hoe, and there are less than [-] people. Slash-and-burn farming can grow a hundred acres of land at most, and what's more difficult is that there are no seeds.She sighed in her heart, wondering when she would be able to eat a bowl of delicious rice, noodles, steamed buns, steamed buns... Her saliva flowed out just thinking about it.

Seeing her staring ahead in silence, Mu Feng looked back at her and asked with concern: "Xiao Qing, what's wrong with you? Are you too tired?"

Yao Xiaoqing looked back at him and smiled, "Brother, I'm fine, I was a little distracted just now."

"It's fine." Mu Feng pointed at the kudzu root, "Yesterday, Quan and I used a bamboo knife to cut the kudzu slivers that were pressed, and I pulled it, and it was all planted alive."

Yao Xiaoqing didn't expect Mu Feng to be so big and so mischievous.Smiling and nodding, "Okay! When you're done with your work, take the time to plant all the kudzu roots."

"Understood, you see Father and the others are going to the gate at the foot of the mountain." Mu Feng turned his head and said with a smile, "Do you want Brother to carry you there?" He said while squatting down in front of her.

Yao Xiaoqing looked at his not-so-broad back, his nose was a little sore, and patted him coquettishly, "I don't want it, I'm an adult."

Mu Feng stood up and looked at her, and said seriously: "Yes! Our Xiaoqing is still a very capable adult."

"How can you praise your sister like that?" Yao Xiaoqing walked forward a little embarrassed.

When the brothers and sisters reached the foot of the mountain, Yaohu and the others had already installed the gate at the foot of the mountain.Yao Xiaoqing thought that when they finished repairing the house, it would be the first farm in history.

Yaohu led his men to install the last door, turned to look at Dashi and the others, and said with a smile: "Brothers, when we finish building the house, we will give you a room, and then you have to work harder to have babies. "

After the wall was built, everyone's craftsmanship improved rapidly, thinking that the house would only be bigger.It will be finished in just a few days.The men shouted: "Yes, chief, let's build the house quickly!"
