A leisurely life in ancient times

Chapter 81 Pocket Edition Ranch
"Qing said it will take half a month..."

Lang Rui muttered, he didn't like to call Qing his mother, and he often called Qing with Qing on his lips.After a long time, not only Qing got used to it, but even everyone in the tribe got used to it.

"At that time, it happened to be the dry season." Jiang Qing was startled, and turned a corner with her eyes on Lang Rui.Transformation in the dry season... is also good. The arrival of a child can always inject new vitality into the tribe shrouded in dark clouds.

Lang Rui lay on his stomach, and said in a childish voice, "Yes, it's really troublesome!"

"It's okay, we've stocked up enough food in the dry season this year, so we won't go hungry. Later, I'll teach you how to make doors so that you won't suffer from freezing during the dry season!" Jiang Qing smiled happily. Although she couldn't build houses, the doors and Things like pottery can be done one by one.

Speaking of freezing, earth dragons living in caves can't do it, but charcoal can burn it.It's just that she doesn't know how to make charcoal. When she was a child, Aunt Fan mentioned a few words, saying that firewood is put into a semi-closed cave, and only one vent is left, and then the firewood is lit...

After thinking about it, this matter has to be handed over to Lang Mo for execution.She has never done it, and I am afraid it will take a lot of time to fire it.Right now, the tribe is busy collecting and picking food, and there is not enough manpower.

This matter can only be mentioned later when there is time. There are priorities. The tribe has survived for so many years and survived without charcoal.

It's better to focus on other important things first, and put the charcoal aside for the time being.

However, making pottery needs to be put on the agenda. She mentioned to the hunting men that they should look for food and hunt for prey to see if they could find white clay or glued clay.

White mud, in some rural areas of the Chinese dynasty, was often used to make stoves and bricks.In addition to white mud, there is also ordinary yellow mud. Compared with yellow mud, bricks made of white mud are more resistant to wind and sun.

Bricks made of white clay are called blue bricks after being fired.

Houses built with blue bricks can last for at least fifty years. In China, blue bricks were slightly more expensive than red bricks, and there was less white clay, making them even more rare.

"Really?" Lang Rui was so excited that he stood up in Jiang Qing's arms, his little paws supported her shoulders, and his eyes showed sincere joy.

I have been fascinated by it, although I have never experienced a difficult and difficult dry season.But in Lang Rui's consciousness, the dry season is terrible and dangerous, even the father and elder brother who are as strong as him will change their face when they talk about it.

"Really." Jiang Qing nodded cautiously. This was her promise to do her best to stockpile more food for the tribe so that the tribe could survive the dry season.

Unconsciously, the scene of the Chinese animal world about the African grasslands flashed across my mind. Everything withered and the water source was exhausted... Food and water sources disappeared overnight, and the animals struggled to survive in order to survive!

"Yes! I believe in you." Lang Rui nodded softly.

"Jiang Qing, are you here?" Kong looked at Jiang Qing in surprise, and there were several people behind him, all of whom were children from the tribe.Everyone carried a basket on their backs, which contained fresh grass and unknown vine leaves.

"Really diligent!" Jiang Qing smiled, took Kong's hand, and yelled at the other children to walk towards the fence in the open space.Kong used to be very quiet in the tribe, and was often bullied by other children in the tribe.

There are few children in the tribe, and each of them is everyone's pimple. Although I feel sorry for Kong, I will not interfere with the children's affairs.After all, who didn't grow up babbling toddlers.

Since Jiang Qing asked Kong to take care of the chickens and ducks in the fence in the open space, Kong changed his silent and soft temper, and gradually, he actually played with the children of the tribe, and the relationship became better and better.

Now Kong seems to be the leader of this group of children, of course, this bratty boy like Lang Rui cannot be counted here.

Seeing Kong, Lang Rui jumped onto Kong's head.Lying on Kong's fluffy hair, he rolled and acted coquettishly, "Kong, I'm hungry!"

Jiang Qing was taken aback for a while by the righteous tone, but Kong took out a green fruit from the animal skin bag at his waist very naturally and handed it over.

Skillful and natural movements, as if done hundreds of times.

Jiang Qing opened her mouth, but didn't say anything in the end. Lang Rui was a bit arrogant, but not bad.Mr. Kong Xiao was alone. During this period of time, the tribe had enough food, and his thin face had grown a little baby fat. He would be tense and lead Jiang Qing into the fence.

And my friends, spread out the tender grass and vine leaves in the basket, because the tender grass and vine leaves were cut in the early morning, and they were stained with dew and could not be fed immediately.It needs to be dried, and the dew can be dried before being thrown into the fence for feeding.

Chickens and ducks are omnivorous poultry and will eat anything.The cattle and sheep are a bit more troublesome, but there are a lot of young grass and vines near the tribe, and now Kong and the children are busy enough.Sometimes the women who go out to collect and pick will also cut some thatch and vine leaves, enough for the livestock in the fence to eat.

"Xiaotian, you throw the caterpillars you caught in." Kong said calmly, his little hands expertly spread out the young grass and vine leaves in the baskets of the people to dry, and the movements were skillful and neat.

Xiaotian was carrying a pannier, and used a few leaves to block the gaps in the pannier, and caught a lot of caterpillars in it.

"Xiaotian, wait—" Seeing Xiaotian throwing the caterpillars into the fence that kept the chickens and ducks, Jiang Qing hurriedly stopped them. Fortunately, although the worms here were slightly larger than those of Tianchao, they were not exaggerated and scary.

Otherwise, she really didn't dare to look at it.This limp and unrestrained animal is simply her weakness.

"What's wrong?" Xiaotian sucked his nose and looked at Jiang Qing in a daze.

Jiang Qing rubbed Xiaotian's head, and said: "Save these caterpillars to feed chickens and ducks, pheasants, wild ducks, grasshoppers and everything..."

Squat down to improve the eating of chickens and ducks.Xiaotian carried the basket and walked towards the fence that was purposely protruded from the farthest corner. The fence was woven with green vines, and occasionally there were strong wooden stakes erected.Even cattle and sheep are not easy to break through and escape.

Looking at the enclosed fence, Jiang Qing couldn't help admiring Lan and the others for their intelligence.

She mentioned it casually, but they were able to do such exquisite work, one really couldn't underestimate the wisdom of the ancients.She is just picking up people's tooth and wisdom, and there is a lot more than they need to learn.

"Chicks and ducklings are here..." Xiao Tian said, sucking his nose, Jiang Qing smiled wryly, no matter how capable she was, she was only a ten-year-old child.

He took a soft leaf from the back basket and carefully wiped Xiaotian's nose.

"The chicks and ducklings should be separated. When they grow up, the hens and ducks should be separated and fed together." Now, the temperature is low at night.The chicks and ducklings are too small, if they are separated, they will freeze to death within one night.

In the Celestial Dynasty, chickens and ducks need about [-] days to hatch, but here the time is shortened by more than half, and the cycle is shortened.But they are getting bigger. I believe that in a few days, these chicks and ducklings will be able to thrive...

Looking at the chickens and ducks in the fence, Jiang Qing felt that life was full of motivation.

After drying the young grass and vine leaves, throw the young grass and vine leaves that were harvested a few days ago into the circled fence one by one.

After that, he led Jiang Qing to visit the ranch that had already begun to take shape.

Demeanor, rigorous and serious.

Jiang Qing patiently told Kong and the others what she knew in the most simple and easy-to-understand words. When Kong and the others grew up, the He Chou tribe would not be able to grow!

I heard Jiang Qing say that if the ranch is big enough, the tribe will not have to go hunting in the future, nor will they be hungry.A few people in the air suddenly felt that the task on their shoulders was heavy, and they became more and more serious in their work.
