Farming in Primitive Society

Chapter 46 Belonging

After adjusting her mood, Mu Xiaohua joined the ranks of making dinner. It's better to do something than to just sit around and think wildly.

After dinner, the sky was still a little bright, Can and the others went to take a shower as usual, and Mu Xiaohua sat on the bed and sewed a skirt for herself. The person with only two clothes could not do anything. One skirt was washed away and had to be redone immediately. , Fortunately, the animal skin was exchanged from the rally.

After taking a bath in the river, Can and Shi had already fallen asleep, Mu Xiaohua wiped her hair until it was half dry, and waited for the hair to dry, soaked some millet in a basin, because they all ate together, Yu took all the millet from their house Come up, haven't eaten dry rice for a long time, Mu Xiaohua plans to steam millet to eat tomorrow morning.

With an effective way to make money and space, she doesn't have to worry about running out of food now.

The main consideration for steaming millet is that tomorrow Yu and the others will go hunting in the mountains. The steamed millet is easy to carry and can fill you up with meat, but it is better for people to eat some staple food.

The day after tomorrow is the summer festival, and tomorrow they have to go hunting in the mountains, because the more the number and types of prey that the festival needs, the better, so they have to go deeper into the mountains to hunt, and they have to live in the mountains overnight.

After soaking the millet, boil a pot of water in a small pottery pot, and Mu Xiaohua weaves a steaming plate with bamboo slices according to the size of the big pottery pot. After weaving, pour the boiled water into the big pottery pot to steam the bamboo. Bring to a boil.

Because there is no slot in the clay pot, Mu Xiaohua made another steaming rack.

After getting everything ready, Mu Xiaohua took a piece of cassava and went to sleep. Then she went into the space and spent two points of energy to plant sweet potatoes with cassava as the original seed. The ginger seedlings planted before have grown to half the size and it will take a few days. can be dug.

On the side where the flowers grow, cotton is harvested in winter, and some cotton fell to the ground, which shows that the cotton has reached the end of the harvest. Mu Xiaohua simply collected the cotton. Anyway, it is cotton. If you harvest it, you can hide it under the quilt. In terms of varieties, there are nine plants in total, although there are only nine plants, but each plant is very good, and it is quite a lot to collect.Because there was nothing to pack, Mu Xiaohua went in and out of the space several times before moving.

Just after she came out of the space for the last time, Mu Xiaohua saw Shi rubbing her eyes and sitting up, which shocked her, she lay down hurriedly, turned over pretending to be asleep, and pressed the cotton in her arms under her body, Hide carefully.

The sound of Shi getting out of bed came from behind, and hearing his footsteps going out, Mu Xiaohua let out a deep breath, so it seems that you can't enter the space casually at night, if you are caught when you leave the space, you don't know how to explain it up.

The use of mental power made Mu Xiaohua fall asleep quickly, and when she woke up the next day, it was already daylight, Yu was making breakfast, Shi was continuing to weave bamboo baskets, and Chan and Lie were not in the cave.

Mu Xiaohua's spirit was a little weak, but it was probably because she slept for a long time. Compared with the first time, she felt much better this time.

"Are you awake?" Yu greeted Mu Xiaohua with a smile.

"Sister." Shi Ye glanced at Mu Xiaohua and called happily.

Mu Xiaohua looked at them in a daze and nodded, her eyes glanced over the fire and saw that the meat was about to be roasted, she woke up instantly and hurriedly got up.

"What's wrong?" Yu was puzzled why Mu Xiaohua got up in a hurry all of a sudden.

Because steaming millet was only thought of by Mu Xiaohua when she went to take a bath, she didn't tell Yu and the others that steaming millet was time-consuming. She originally wanted to get up early to steam it, but she naturally overslept in a life without an alarm clock.

Judging by the current weather, Yu and the others will be leaving soon, and they don't know if they will be in a hurry, "I originally wanted to steam the millet this morning so that I could bring it to the mountain for you to eat, but now I don't know if I should come in a hurry. "

"Steam?" Yu looked puzzled.

"Yeah." Mu Xiaohua didn't rush to wash up, so she took the time to steam the millet in the pot, filled the big clay pot with one-third of water, put the steaming rack in it, put the bamboo steaming plate on it, and finally put the millet on the steaming plate Put the lid on, and said to Yu, "Burner the fire and steam."

Yu Heshi's eyes followed her all the time, and while adding firewood, Yu said, "So this is steaming? I thought what these things were for."

Mu Xiaohua smiled, "Look at the fire, I'm going to wash my face."

"Yeah." Yu nodded, "What else do you want to do with the steamed millet?"

"I don't need it for now." Mu Xiaohua shook her head, "Just watch the fire, and keep on burning when the water boils. Don't let the water boil dry until the millet is cooked."

"So simple?" Yu asked incredulously.

Mu Xiaohua was amused by his expression, "Yes, it's that simple, do you think everything I make is complicated?"

Yu smiled noncommittally, and Mu Xiaohua walked out of the cave with a smile.

Chan and Lie were making wooden barrels outside the cave, and when they saw Mu Xiaohua greet her respectively, Mu Xiaohua asked them about the morning and then stretched out towards the mountains with a light mist rising, taking a deep breath of fresh air , the whole person feels much refreshed, the sun is already showing signs of coming out, the blue sky and white clouds are another great weather.

After washing and returning, Mu Xiaohua found out that because she was going to spend the night in the mountains, the hunting team did not need to leave too early.

"Why didn't you say it sooner?" Mu Xiaohua, who was stirring the pumpkin and millet porridge, gave Yu a sideways glance, "I'm still worried that I don't have enough time."

"..." Facing Mu Xiaohua's accusation, Yu had nothing to say, and simply changed the subject: "Xiaohua, what are you doing today?"

Mu Xiaohua handed the wooden spoon for stirring the porridge to Yu and stood up, smiling mischievously: "Play."

Yu laughed, watching Mu Xiaohua walk towards the wall, and brought over the basin soaked in cassava. I left some starch when making starch yesterday. Yu asked in confusion, "Do you still want to cook the cassava?" Enough is enough.

"No cooking." Mu Xiaohua smiled triumphantly, "I'm going to fry it."

"Fried?" Yu learned a new cooking word this morning.

"Yes." Mu Xiaohua nodded, walked to the seat opposite Yu and sat down, hung another empty small clay pot on the fire, and poured all the boiled wild boar oil into it, "Fry it in oil, so that you can take it to the mountain to eat .”

"Can it still be like this?" Yu was extremely surprised.

"The deep-fried ones are delicious." Mu Xiaohua narrowed her eyes with a smile.

When the oil is hot, drain the cassava and put the cassava into the pot one by one. The aroma of deep frying wafts out. Shi leans over curiously. Chan and Lie outside the cave smell this unprecedented After smelling the scent, I also put down the work on my hands and come in to see the freshness.

When the first batch of cassava was cooked, Mu Xiaohua picked it up and put it in a bowl and handed it to the four onlookers: "Try it and see how it goes? Be careful it's hot!"

Yu took the bowl, Can and Lie couldn't wait to grab a piece each and ate it, it was so hot that they gasped, Mu Xiaohua gave the anxious two a funny look and said, "Pick it with chopsticks, eat slowly, and no one will follow you." grab."

Their appearance reminded Mu Xiaohua of the first time she ate fried sweet potatoes, and the nostalgia gave her a simple and plain happiness.

Looking at the vivid expressions of Can and the others, this kind of happiness is so real, and Mu Xiaohua gradually has a sense of belonging.
