Farming in Primitive Society

Chapter 56 Summer Festival
The morning gaze was cut off by Mu Xiaohua, she adjusted her mood and waved to Yu with a smile as usual.

Yu didn't expect Mu Xiaohua to get up so early. When he saw her, he was stunned for a moment, and his heart jumped when he met her eyes. He waved his hand, and then he came back to his senses, a sense of loss flashed inexplicably in his heart, and then he smiled and responded to Mu Xiaohua.

Originally, he wanted to go down the mountain to wash in the river, but when he saw Mu Xiaohua's footsteps, he walked up unconsciously.Mu Xiaohua watched him coming, she stretched her waist and stretched herself, she didn't stop until he came close, and asked with a smile: "Do you wake up so early every day?"

Yu shook his head: "No, I woke up a little earlier today."

"Oh~" Mu Xiaohua nodded, she couldn't find a topic for a while, and the atmosphere was a little awkward. Yu kept looking at her like that, making Mu Xiaohua feel a little uncomfortable, "Are you going to wash up?"

"Yeah." Yu nodded.

Mu Xiaohua smiled, pretending to be calm and trying her best to say naturally: "I want to go too, let's go together!"

"Okay." Yu replied without thinking.

Mu Xiaohua went to get the toiletries, Yu stood there waiting for her, and then they walked down the mountain together.

No one spoke, just remained silent like this, and finally Yu broke the silence: "Xiao Hua, I'm sorry about what happened last night."

"You don't need to mention what happened last night." Mu Xiaohua smiled softly, "I understand your anxiety for Lie, but you really don't need to do this, Lie is very good! Maybe I will like him? Then marry him Give it to him, and we will live happily together. Then you will marry another girl, and then..." Mu Xiaohua paused, pursed her lips, and continued with a smile: "Then you are always welcome. Come to our house for a visit!"

Yu was stunned for a moment, hearing Mu Xiaohua say that she might fall in love with Lie, marry Lie, and the two of them live a happy life, feeling a little uncomfortable for no reason, but also a little happy, which is very contradictory.But when she heard later, she said that he married other girls and asked them to visit their house, she was only depressed.

"Which girl would marry me with my conditions?" Yu laughed at himself.

"What's the matter with your conditions?" Mu Xiaohua smiled and said cheerfully, "With me here, let's make money together and change our living conditions. Most of the girls want to marry you, and maybe they will fight to marry you!"

Yu smiled, didn't say anything more, fell silent and said in a low voice: "Why are you visiting? Can't we live together without separating families?"

"That's definitely not possible." Mu Xiaohua shook her head resolutely.

The two chatted about the imagined future, and the tone seemed to be quite pleasant, but in fact, neither of them felt very comfortable.

Come to the river, brush your teeth and wash your face. People in this world already know how to use wild boar bristles as toothbrushes and salt mud to brush your teeth. The towel is a small animal skin.

It is said that people in this world did not brush their teeth, food and clothing were a problem, who would care about whether to brush their teeth or not, until one day some people in a certain tribe suffered from toothaches, and more and more people suffered from toothaches. This kind of salt mud can relieve pain, and rubbing teeth with salt mud can also make teeth white. Gradually, brushing teeth became popular and became a daily routine. The tools for brushing teeth have also changed several times, and today's wild boar bristle toothbrush has emerged.

When it was time to wash her face, Mu Xiaohua remembered the facial cleanser she had lost, and couldn't help complaining. Yu listened thoughtfully, if he guessed right, he probably knew who picked it up, but he couldn't Very sure, since he was not sure about it, he didn't tell Mu Xiaohua.

It's definitely because it's not easy to speculate and doubt others casually, not because of other considerations.

After washing, the two went back together, Chan and the others got up one after another, had a simple breakfast, and when the sound of drums came from the altar, it was time to go to the altar.

The summer festival is a very important day for a tribe. If there are no special circumstances, everyone has to participate, so Mu Xiaohua has nothing to say when she sees Aqiao appearing in the sacrificial ceremony. Anyway, she has already said what should be said. As for others How to do it is someone else's business.

Everyone gathered in the altar square and lined up under Cheng's command. Because of her special status, Mu Xiaohua was placed closest to the altar.

Now, as far as the Chashan tribe is concerned, she has changed from an unknown person who doesn't know what she will bring to the tribe to a guest of honor with hope, and the tribe's people are more respectful when they see her.

After lining up and waiting for the auspicious time, the old woman dressed up and slowly climbed up to the altar, led several young people from the tribe to help arrange the prey that was processed yesterday, and the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven began.

Burning incense, praying, everyone followed the old mother's right hand over the left heart, bent slightly, and worshiped devoutly. The old mother kept chanting words, but it was hard to hear what was being said, but it felt extremely solemn.

This period of prayer is very long and does not end until the sun rises. After the prayer is over, the first round of worship ceremony is completed. After three rounds of incense are burned, the second round of the ceremony begins. After burning, several young men and women danced around the fire to worship the gods, followed by another round of collective prayer, and the entire summer ceremony ended.

Afterwards, the sacrificial meat can be taken down and prepared to be roasted. Some people cut the meat on a long platform with wooden boards in the altar square, and some people go to the mountains to chop firewood for fire.

One morning had passed by the end of the three-round ceremony, and it took a while to wait for people to take the wooden boards to cut the meat. It is worth mentioning that lunch is not eaten in the summer festival, and they have to wait until nightfall to enjoy the dinner together.

Mom said that the barbecue for this dinner was prepared by Mu Xiaohua, so after everyone cut the meat, Mu Xiaohua started to marinate the meat, and taught everyone how to marinate, how to make barbecue sauce, and how to use palm Bark for brushes.

"That's all for the preparation work. Now it's time to marinate to let the meat taste. The time to marinate depends on the size of the meat. Generally, it takes about an hour and a half to marinate."

"Just let it go now?"

"Yes." Mu Xiaohua nodded and went to wash her hands, half the afternoon passed after marinating the meat.

Since they had seen Mu Xiaohua sell grilled fish, everyone was very interested in learning from her to cook bacon and barbecue. They surrounded her and asked questions, and Mu Xiaohua patiently answered them one by one until no one asked any more.

The team that went into the mountain to cut firewood has not yet returned, because the barbecue needs to use a brush, some people are looking for palm bark, and others who have nothing to do for the time being gather under the shade of the tree beside the altar square to chat.

Because she got up too early and stood under the scorching sun for so long, Mu Xiaohua was a little tired and sleepy. Can and the others went into the mountains to cut firewood, and Shi and the little friends of the tribe went to play somewhere. Anyway, there was nothing to do. Mu Xiaohua told her mother and went home first.

When I get home, take out the cotton, pumpkin seeds, and gourd melon seeds to dry, then peel off the shells of the old beans, green beans, and mung beans, and take the beans to dry, as well as eggplant seeds, pepper seeds, and tomatoes. go to the sun.

After doing all this, Mu Xiaohua lay down on the bed to rest, unaware that the altar was boiling!
