Farming in Primitive Society

Chapter 40

Yu went to cut pumpkins, and Mu Xiaohua took cattail grass and sat on the bed to weave straw sandals.

Shi Genlie sat next to her with a gourd, and Lie asked, "Xiaohua, can we cut the gourd?"

"Okay!" Mu Xiaohua nodded as a matter of course, she had already told them how to handle the gourd to hold water last night, "Use the knife in my backpack to cut it."

The knife she brought was sharp, so it was better to open a small round hole in the gourd. Lie nodded and hurriedly opened with Shi with excitement.

Cut along the vine root at the top of the gourd, stir it in with chopsticks, pour out the seeds inside, keep the seeds for seeds, wash the shell, and then make a cork, which can be used to hold water.

On the other side, Yu had already peeled the pumpkin, cleaned it and put it on the cutting board, looked at Mu Xiaohua and asked, "How do you cut it?"

Mu Xiaohua gestured with her index finger: "Cut it into cubes the size of my finger."

Yu nodded clearly and began to cut the pumpkin. Mu Xiaohua looked at his cutting method and smiled slightly with satisfaction and pride. She found that Yu had extraordinary talent in cooking. As long as she said so a little, he would You can understand that you can learn how to grill fish, barbecue, and sauce, and you can draw inferences from one example, and you can think about how to do it better.

I have received a good apprentice!Mu Xiaohua is self-satisfied, but contrary to her good apprentice, Mu Xiaohua looked at Can who was nervously staring at the clay pot and roast chicken by the fire, sighed helplessly and shook her head, "Can! The roast chicken should be coated with sauce Turn it over, otherwise it will be too dry and burnt."

"Ah? Oh!" Can hurriedly took the bowl containing the prepared roasting sauce, and used a small brush made of palm tree bark to dip the juice into the chicken. The roasting juice was too much and fell into the fire because there was I added lard to the juice, and when it fell into the fire, a cluster of flames sprang up. Can hid back in fright, but watched the roast chicken being burned by the flames and then hurriedly turned it over. Mu Xiaohua was anxious to see the frantic appearance .

"Chan, you come here and cut the pumpkin, and I'll roast it." Yu, who was startled by his movement, hurriedly offered to exchange.

"Oh, good." Can breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly stood up to change with Yu.

Different from Can, Yu is calm and calm. When brushing the sauce, the control and technique of the amount of roasting sauce are very good. He has good control over the heat, when to turn it over and when to apply the sauce. She will definitely surpass him. If the master who taught her how to cook before sees a talent like Yu, she will be very happy.

You need talent to do anything. People with talent run faster than those without talent. Without talent, you can only rely on hard work and accumulation of experience.In fact, Mu Xiaohua is talented in cooking, but her talent is also high and low. Compared with Yu, her talent is definitely lower.

Yu's side is definitely reassuring, and as for Can's side, Mu Xiaohua can't bear to look at it, actually!Just looking at Canchee’s pumpkin slices is acceptable, but comparing them with Yuchee’s, the difference immediately becomes apparent. It’s like the sky and the earth. There is no harm without comparison.

But eat it by yourself, don't pay too much attention to the appearance, Mu Xiaohua bowed her head and carefully weaved straw sandals, because she has a lot of things to do today, she has to hurry up, her hand speed is fast, so let's not forget to pay attention to her while doing her own things Several people were stunned.

When the breakfast was ready, Mu Xiaohua finished weaving a pair of simple straw sandals, handed them to Chan and said to Yu Helie, "After breakfast, I'll weave a pair for you too."

"Xiao Hua, isn't your speed too fast?" Can took the straw sandals and looked at Mu Xiaohua in disbelief, "It's hard to see the movements of your hands, it's really amazing."

"Of course, who am I!" Mu Xiaohua smiled triumphantly.

Today's breakfast is mung bean pumpkin porridge and grilled chicken. The combination of fragrant mung bean and sweet pumpkin is delicious.

I experienced the aroma of mung beans yesterday, and today's pumpkin is sweeter than any pumpkin she has eaten before. The taste is so good that people are moved.

"It's delicious!" Can and Lie repeatedly praised, and Yu nodded in agreement. Shi was directly immersed in the ocean of taste and didn't want to talk. Even Mu Xiaohua thought it was so delicious, let alone Can and the others.

The quality of the ingredients directly affects the taste of the food, which is the power of the ultimate quality of the ingredients produced in the space.

very nice!Mu Xiaohua was very happy, thinking about what to cook with the leftover pumpkin?
After breakfast, Lie and Can went to the well to wash the dishes, Shi followed to wash the gourds, Yu fiddled with the fire to bake the stored meat and fish, when he finished his work and sat down, Mu Xiaohua walked over and sat down beside him with a straw , shook the cattail grass and said, "Let me measure the length of your feet."

"Oh." Yu replied in a daze, seeing Mu Xiaohua bent down and pulling the cattail grass to measure his feet, this made Yu feel a little embarrassed, and subconsciously shrank his feet.

Mu Xiaohua patted his ankle: "Don't move around."

Yu didn't dare to move anymore, his whole body was stiff. When Mu Xiaohua's hand touched his foot again, his foot shook uncontrollably. Mu Xiaohua paused and looked up at him suspiciously. He dodged his eyes for a while, and smiled embarrassedly, "It's okay." After a pause, he said, "Otherwise, I'll do it myself!"

Mu Xiaohua looked at him inquiringly, and handed him the cattail grass, "Okay, then you can measure it yourself! I'll bring some more grass."

"Yeah." Yu took the cattail grass and smiled.With a shy smile in her mouth, Mu Xiaohua's eyes straightened a little. She smiled shyly with a cool and handsome face, but there was no sense of disobedience. Yu's contrast and cuteness really poked her heart.

Yu was even more embarrassed by Mu Xiaohua's look, and her already hot face became hot now. Mu Xiaohua recovered from seeing Yu's blushing face, held back her smile, and went under the right wall where the cattail grass was placed near the entrance of the cave. go.

Later, Mu Xiaohua found out that Yu's feet are very sensitive, and there is no one else who is sensitive.

It is said that practice makes perfect, and she has a high acceptance ability for weaving things such as living wood flowers. Now she is weaving straw sandals not only faster and faster, but also better in quality.

When Yu's straw sandals were coming to an end, Chengsan brothers and sisters came, and Ah Mei also brought animal skins for Mu Xiaohua to help her sew dresses.

"Put the animal skin on the bed!" Mu Xiaohua said to Amei with a smile and then looked at Xiang Cheng: "We can start after I finish the straw sandals in my hand."

"Okay." Cheng nodded with a smile.

Ah Mei cheerfully put the animal skin on the bed, thanked Mu Xiaohua and ran to seek death.After breakfast, Mu Xiaohua started to weave straw sandals, and Shi followed her three brothers to the river to wash cassava.

Today they are making tapioca starch.

Ah Mei went out, Nuo also followed, Cheng found a seat and sat down, looked at Mu Xiaohua who was working hard on weaving straw sandals and said for a while, "Xiao Hua, there is something I want to tell you."

Mu Xiaohua gave a "thump" in her heart, then raised her head, "What's the matter?"
