    "Anner...Anner..."

    "An...mama...woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo if he has lost An he will beat him to death!"

    "Don't cry, isn't there Xiaomeng? An'er will be fine if she walks far away! Let's find out!"

    "Ooooooo! Xiaoxue, I didn't cry because I was afraid of being beaten. It took a lot of effort to let An choose him as a man. Sad!"

    "You two dead children! What nonsense are you talking about! Hurry up and look for it, the wind falls around here and smells the smell of Belu Beast!"

    "Belu beast? Isn't it the one that the hunters brought back yesterday? My God! It's as high as a hill, enough for the tribe to eat for several days! Listen to Baba, belu beast Very ferocious, it was just caught in a trap yesterday, and they got it back after they picked up a bargain!"

    "Kong Kong! Don't say a word, Da'er will be frightened! Also, the hunting team now has an artifact crossbow, what is Beilu afraid of? An'er, you also have an artifact crossbow in your hand, It'll be alright!"

    "But Xiaoxue...An's shooting arrows are not as good as me...Uuuuuuuuuuuu, I have to get An back quickly!"

    "Anne..."

    "Anne—"

     

    Wind, the sound of the collection team was softly and quietly released into An'er's ears. An'er pinched the thick ears of the little mammoth: "I'll let you find someone, you'd better go back after wandering around in the forest! Look, Da'er and Xiaoxue are in a hurry?"

    "I'm here! Dar-Little Cher-Nana..." An'er put her hands to her mouth and responded loudly to the faint voice.

    "An-An-"

    "Shh! I think I heard An'er's voice!" Feng Luo limped behind the team looking for An'er and suddenly stopped. Stop Daer's cry with a cry.

    The team suddenly quieted down, with more than 40 pairs of eyes watching the wind fall nervously and expectantly. Feng Luo's frowning brows loosened, and he took the lead in walking quickly in one direction: "Follow me!"

    When the gathering team found An'er, she was beside the kudzu vines that spread freely, digging for kudzu root in full swing!

    "An'er, what is this!" Seeing that Lin An'er was safe and sound, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing a few "clumps" in the back basket, they gathered around curiously. There was excitement in his eyes. What An'er dug must be useful.

    An'er touched the sweat droplets on her forehead and put it on her snow-white little face. There was a smudge of sallow ash. Daer obediently used the linen clothes on his body to help Ma Ma wipe off the stains. Eighteen-year-old An'er was not used to being called Mama by a four- or five-year-old brat, and her name remained the same as before, but Da'er had long regarded her as Mama.

    "Thank you Daer. ​​You're so good!" An'er pulled the little guy and gave him a hard kiss on his chubby cheek. When An'er first came to the Atayal tribe, the children of the tribe were so thin that they had little ribs because they often couldn't get enough to eat. Now, even the little friends of the Mani tribe who joined later, have started to have flesh on their faces. Darling's little friend. Because the food is good and An'er's craftsmanship is excellent, she was raised to a great deal. There are meat pockets on the little hands. Although the skin is bright due to running and jumping outside all year round, it exudes a healthy glow.

    Da Er touched the part where he was kissed, and blushed embarrassedly, which attracted kind laughter from the clansmen.

    An'er pointed to this piece of kudzu creeping on the ground. Said: "This is called kudzu, don't look at it's inconspicuous appearance. It is full of treasures! Gehua can be used to make tea, or wrapped in flour and steamed to eat; kudzu is the same as the abalone we made a few days ago, and its fibers can be weaved. Make clothes. Clothes made from kudzu are softer, more delicate and stronger than abalone. They are very cool to wear in summer. As for these lumps, they are kudzu, which can wash out starch. The food made from kudzu is delicious and good for good for the body!

    Feng Luo, Lao Luo, you guys are responsible for collecting kudzu vines, pick up the green ones, pick them from the roots, be careful not to break them! The rest will dig kudzu with me, we have to hurry up, it's getting late! "

    When I listen to this green piece, it looks like something like grass, there are so many benefits. All the members of the collection team worked as if they had been beaten with blood.

    One by one kudzu vines were tied into bundles, and pieces of kudzu root were put into the back basket.

    

    When they came back, the warriors who returned from hunting heard about such a good thing as Ge.

    An'er knew very well that kudzu vines had a strong reproductive capacity. After harvesting this piece, she found a larger piece not far away. Almost all the old women and children of the Atayal tribe were dispatched, busy until the end of the month. Zhongtian brought all the kudzu and kudzu that he found back to the tribe.

    On the second day, the collection team found a few kudzu vines, and for a while, the open space in the cave was occupied by kudzu and kudzu.

    To be honest, An'er knew that late autumn was not the best time to collect kudzu vines to extract fibers, but she saw the green vines and wanted to try to extract them. Fifty kilograms of kudzu can produce one kilogram of silk. If all the hills of kudzu are finished, almost everyone in the tribe can wear kudzu clothes!

      . When the threads are drawn, they must be tied together one by one, and the knots must be handled very finely, so as not to affect the beauty of the woven cloth. These are all done by human hands, and they are also very necessary. Time.

    Therefore, in the next time, the collection team was divided into two teams, and one team was still led by Lao Luo to collect. Although the food storage in the tribe is very rich, the habit of primitive people is to collect everything that can be eaten without stopping in autumn.

    As for kudzu, it is easier to store in caves, so keep it first. An'er decided to get the kudzu silk out first and wait for the winter. Put the loom on the kang, and weave cloth to make clothes.

    Boiled kudzu is the only large clay pot in the tribe, and it is cooked day and night. After boiling, take it to the river to cool it, and then put it into the dug square kiln pit, first spread a layer of grass under the pit, put the vines on it, and then spread the grass, let It ferments.

    Fermentation takes about two or three days in autumn. When the skin rots like mud, it is washed in the river to wash off the mud-like skin. It becomes a white vine fiber, and the core in the middle is also pulled out at this time. The core can only be pumped when it is wet. The core An'er that was taken out was not wasted, and was used for things like weaving baskets.

    The part used as fiber is just the thin layer of skin between the epidermis and the core, also called "bast". When drawing the wire, you use your fingers to pull down one by one. Drawing is a delicate job, and the women in the tribe are still girls. Whenever I have a little free time, I will consciously sit down - drawing!

    The wires that are pulled out should be knotted one by one, and the knotted silk threads will be wrapped around a piece of wood in an "8" shape. It is a strand of thread that is wrapped around a block of wood. When weaving this kind of silk, it must be wet, otherwise it will be hard and uneven.

    Autumn. It is indeed a busy season. The men go deep into the forest every day to hunt, and the women are usually busy gathering, but this year there are a few more jobs - spinning silk and washing arrowroot!

    With Aner working day and night, Gu Si finished everything in half a month. In the past two weeks, she has been busy losing a lot of weight. Abu took pity on her hard work, and didn't bother her at night. Daer even took over all the housework at home. Mouth Hu: Except for cooking.

    The tongues of the family have been raised, and they feel that the previous barbecue and boiled meat are simply hard to swallow. An'er was also afraid of being late for a bland meal. No matter how busy she was with the three meals at home, she had to rush to do it, but with Da'er's help, she felt much more relaxed.

    After the silk thread is finished, An'er should look like more than 200 kilograms, and it should be no problem for everyone to put on close-fitting clothes.

    Abu thought that An'er could rest for a while. But people are on a big rock again? Why pound stones? Looking at the mountains of kudzu, An'er was already salivating! "Arrow Pork with Arrowroot", "Bone Soup with Arrowroot", "Braised with Five Flowers with Arrowroot", "Crucian Carp Soup with Arrowroot"...

    If you want to get arrowroot powder, you must have a stone mill, right? In this prehistoric stone age, you have to do whatever you want. Therefore, An'er left behind a powerful "muscle man", and after a whole day's work, she finally came up with two stone mills!

    With the stone mill, An'er squeezed the warriors in the tribe every day and took turns to help the mill. Pushing a mill is a labor of strength, and it is inhumane to let women and old people do it? Uh...even though women and old people in primitive society have a lot of strength that shouldn't be underestimated.

    Wash the kudzu root, cut it into small pieces, put it into a stone mill, add water and grind it into juice. Then, in a clean pool, use a bamboo sieve to cover a layer of fine kudzu cloth as gauze (this is the first prehistoric kudzu cloth that An'er spun for kudzu powder), put the pulp powder on the kudzu cloth, pour water into it, and stir well , so that the starch leaks into the pool with water, and water is added repeatedly until the starch and powder residue are separated.

    After the starch slurry has settled for two days, scoop out the clear water above and take out the starch block at the bottom of the pool. Then take it out and use it to dry it on a kang. In fact, it is also possible to dry it in the sun, but in the process of drying, arrowroot is prone to oxidation, and some of its nutritional value will be lost!

    The first batch of arrowroot powder produced, An'er demonstrated on the spot and made a dozen or so dishes with arrowroot powder. The people in the tribe tasted them one by one, and they immediately praised them. Looking forward to it.

    The temperature is very cold in late autumn, and more and more food is stored in the tribe. Since kudzu kudzu occupied a small part of the cave, all the food that the tribe hunted every day was distributed. Can't finish eating? Store it yourself! Now everyone has their own house, and the uneaten meat hangs under the eaves. If foreigners see it, they will be very surprised: how rich this tribe is, and how much food is stored...
