Farming in Primitive Society

Chapter 126 What are you doing?

Rice, sorghum and millet can be eaten as long as the husk is removed by pestle, but wheat and barley have to be ground into powder, but how can primitive tribes grind it without grinding it?
Stone mills are very important, not only for grinding wheat and barley, but also for grinding soybeans to make tofu.

Putting the harvested grain ears in the bathing shed first, Mu Xiaohua walked towards the cave thinking, it seems that she must start looking for someone to make a stone mill, but she knows the shape and principle of a stone mill, but she doesn't know how to do it. This is really a huge problem.

Back in the cave, Can Heshi slept soundly, Mu Xiaohua lightened her steps, returned to the bed, and fell asleep with difficulties.

When Mu Xiaohua woke up, it was already bright outside, and when she heard Can and the others talking outside, she got out of bed in a daze, walked to the entrance of the cave and asked, "Did you go to practice boxing today?"

Can, who was squatting in front of the earthen stove and lighting a fire, turned her head and grinned at her: "We're back from practice!"

Uh……

Mu Xiaohua was stunned, "Is it so late?" She couldn't help shaking her head, she didn't seem to sleep for a long time!
It seemed that she had fallen into a deep sleep, so Mu Xiaohua took the toiletries and went down the mountain. She planned to wash her face in the river today and go to the toilet by the way.

To be honest, the toilet is too far away from home. It is still inconvenient. Mu Xiaohua went to the toilet first when she went down the mountain. The new toilet is very clean. A wooden bucket filled with water and a wooden ladle and a trash can were put in it yesterday afternoon. .

Regarding the use of toilets, Cheng has already preached to the people in the tribe.And under Mu Xiaohua's suggestion, people who regularly clean up and clean up the garbage are arranged, and the prey is used as reward.

After going to the toilet, Mu Xiaohua looked back at the toilet behind her and smiled. She never thought that one day, she would be so happy because she had a simple toilet to use.

After breakfast, Yu and Can went to dig a hole for raising wild rabbits. Lie finished the last wooden barrel at home, and Shi hurriedly made a basket. The day of the rally was getting closer, and his basket was the first Both of them haven't been compiled yet, so what will I sell them at that time?

Mu Xiaohua weaves the straw sandals for Yu. Tomorrow they have to go hunting in the mountains, and today she is not in a hurry to go out so she weaves the straw sandals first.

Everyone has their own things to do, but Yutong went down the mountain for a circle and came back to be idle, sitting opposite Mu Xiaohua and chatting with her.

Originally, Yutong wanted to weave something, except for the cattails in Mu Xiaohua's hand, there was nothing extra, and there were a lot of bamboo strips, but he couldn't handle it after holding it for a while, so he gave up.

The sun rose slowly, and the morning mist was completely evaporated. Mu Xiaohua put down her shoes, got up and asked Shangshi and Yutong to go out of the cave.

Shi and Yutong followed behind Mu Xiaohua in a daze, and after walking several steps, Yutong remembered to ask, "Xiaohua, what are you doing?"

"Come with me, help me bring some good things out to dry." Mu Xiaohua turned her head and smiled mysteriously. She took all five grains out of the space but moved them back and forth several times. Now they are carried out of the bath shed to dry. Someone helped It can be faster, and second, I also want to show them the food that can completely change their lives for the first time.

The three of them walked to the entrance of the cave and saw Yu and Can coming back with hoes on their shoulders.

There are more than 20 families in the Chashan tribe, and each family contributes. It doesn’t take much time to dig a pit that is not too big.

Lie, who just finished the barrel in his hand, saw the three of them coming out and asked curiously: "Xiao Hua, what are you going to do?"

When Chan and Yu walked into Qianping, Mu Xiaohua greeted them both, and answered Lie's question: "Go to the bath shed, you guys should go too!"

Out of curiosity, a few people followed Mu Xiaohua to the outside of the bath shed. Mu Xiaohua opened the door of the bath shed, stepped back and stretched out her hand: "Deng dong, please see what's inside?"

Several people immediately stretched their necks to look into the shower shed, and seeing the pile of things they didn't recognize except millet, they were all shocked, and Lie couldn't wait to ask: "Xiaohua, what are the other things besides millet?"

Mu Xiaohua smiled proudly and said: "They are all similar to millet, but better than millet. These can replace meat as a staple food. If you dig more fields and grow them, you don't have to worry about not being full anymore. , there is no need to go up the mountain to hunt!"

"So good?" Everyone was surprised.

"Of course." Mu Xiaohua nodded affirmatively with a smile, "Now let's take these out to dry! Let's build a few more shelves to dry things."

Grain crops must be dried in the sun before they can be stored. In modern times, rice is harvested by harvesting in the field, and the grains are directly separated from the spikes. The grains of rice are poured into the sun-drying field or used to dry on a sun-drying mat.

Mu Xiaohua doesn’t harvest much from the space now, she cuts it together with the ears of grain, because each tree has to leave a little bit for seeds, and she can’t cut directly from the stems, so she spends it in the space. so much time.

Everyone put away their amazement, and brought the grains to the Qianping. Chan and Lie went to the forest on the left to cut wood and came back to build a wooden frame. Because the ears of grain are short, the hanging wood only needs to be as thick as a finger, and the stakes of the wooden frame don’t need to be too big. About three fingers thick enough, this kind of wood is very easy to find, and the two will come back soon.

Build a wooden frame together, and then hang all the ears of grain on it to dry. Because of the limited area of ​​the front flat, we can only build five shelves about three meters long. The ears of grain are a bit thick to hang on. Just two days in the sun.

Looking at the five rows of grain ears that are not only big but also full of grains, Mu Xiaohua was very satisfied, and pointed to them one by one to introduce them, including the planting time, planting environment requirements, etc., and finally mentioned winter wheat.

"It's almost July now, and winter wheat can be planted around this time, and it will be mature and harvested in May and June next year. The problem now is that we don't have land, so we have to cultivate it as soon as possible."

Mu Xiaohua didn't find the introduction of the crops in each plot before, and she wasn't sure if the climate here was suitable for growing wheat. She didn't know until she found the introduction a few days ago that the crops in the space can be grown as long as the climate environment is not particularly extreme.

Everything else has to be planted in spring and harvested in autumn. Winter wheat can be planted in autumn and can be harvested at the end of spring next year. The current millet in the Chashan tribe is waiting for autumn harvest. It's gone before it's over.

The Can family and the Lie family can still have millet until now because they are not willing to eat it at all, and it is only after Mu Xiaohua came that they suffer every day. This is very, very extravagant in the eyes of Can and the others, but they have nothing Said, because I don't want to wrong Mu Xiaohua, and because Mu Xiaohua can always bring food, they don't have to worry about what to eat when they follow Mu Xiaohua, so they will let Mu Xiaohua arrange the food with peace of mind.

Several people were discussing the matter of reclaiming the land, when they suddenly heard a faint noise coming from the front of the tribe.
