098 This winter is not too cold
In winter, the bamboo forest has long been covered with silver, and the river has been covered with ice and snow. The whole world is like a white and green picture, looking so leisurely and peaceful.
I don't know when a huge cowhide tent has been erected in the depths of the bamboo forest. This tent is about three meters high, and its length and width are no less than ten meters. If people were forced to stuff it inside, it would probably fit all the members of the Yan tribe.
None of it is a problem.
Of course, it is impossible for all the Yan tribe members to squeeze into one tent, because at this time, the Yan tribe is full of cowhide, and each household has at least ten tents. Everyone's tents are spacious enough, and it is simply
There is no need to crowd into a tent like this.
There are only three people living in this tent, Zhao Hao, Ayun and Ayue, and by the way, Menglan and Mengbao, two foodies, must be added.
These two are actually not afraid of the cold, because their fur is thicker than that of the goat. However, they are used to spending the winter with humans, so in the winter, they follow Zhao Hao, Ayun, and Ayue.
Live in a bamboo hut or tent.
Early that morning, as soon as it was dawn, the cute baby woke up. It wriggled a few times in the hay-lined nest, then got up and started humping its mother, Menglan.
Meng Lan opened her eyes in annoyance and subconsciously raised her paw to give the guy who disturbed her dream a hard slap. However, when she saw that it was her own baby, her raised paw lost strength the moment it fell.
.
Alas, this little guy is so naughty.
It had no choice but to give birth to the baby by itself. It could only helplessly pat the cute baby on the head, then get up and follow the baby to the pile of animal skins in the other corner.
Zhao Hao was sleeping soundly when suddenly he felt the ground shaking and his whole body began to roll on the animal skin.
Damn it, these two guys!
He opened his eyes in a daze, and sure enough, Menglan and Mengbao were humping them hard with their heads.
Ayun and Ayue also woke up at this moment, and the three of them looked helpless.
I don’t know what’s wrong with these two people. When winter comes, they feel particularly energetic. They usually get up at dawn, and they don’t need to sleep the whole day.
Alas, there is nothing I can do about it. Who makes these two guys so cute? They are so cute that people can’t even bear to scold them.
Zhao Hao could only crawl up and put on a robe made of saber-toothed tiger skin. Then he picked up a thick pottery basin, ran outside and scooped up a basin of snow, then ran back, put the pottery pot on the charcoal fire, and slowly
Burn slowly.
At this time, Meng Lan and Meng Bao were already shouting "Uh huh" anxiously, and A Yun and A Yue had already put on their snow-white husband's robes and started to prepare to eat.
Their morning meal is very simple, which is fresh lamb and goat's milk.
As for lamb meat, each of them can get about a pound, but for goat milk, they have to prepare more than ten pounds.
No way, Meng Lan and Meng Bao, two foodies, also like to drink goat milk.
Ayun put the two large cans of goat's milk on the charcoal fire and heated it up a little. When the goat's milk was no longer so cold, she directly placed the goat's milk in front of the two people and let them drink it by themselves. Then, she took out another can
Put a small amount of goat's milk on the charcoal fire and heat it slowly.
Ah Yue directly took out a large piece of cooked lamb, cut it into thin slices with the Excalibur, and put it in another clay pot. She also added some wild ginger and salt to it, and then scooped some melted meat from the clay pot.
of snow water, and shook it gently until the salt inside was completely gone, then she put the clay pot on the charcoal fire and started to cook it slowly.
The three of them had breakfast and were ready to go out.
At this time, their clothing was not only animal skin robes, but also sheepskin coats, sheepskin hats, and even sheepskin boots.
It can be said that with their physical constitution and this outfit, no matter how cold the weather is, they can move freely outside and will not freeze at all.
They put on thick sheepskin coats, sheepskin hats, and warm sheepskin boots, then carried hoes and bamboo bags on their backs, and then went out with Menglan and Mengbao.
As soon as this guy came to the snow outside, Menglan and Mengbao became so excited that they immediately rolled themselves into a ball and then rolled away in the snow.
Zhao Hao didn't care about these two things. Anyway, they would naturally stop to rest when they were tired. At this time, they had to find hay quickly.
You must know that Yanbu raises 40,000 to 50,000 cattle, sheep, and horses. Although they made a lot of hay before winter, the amount was far from enough. After winter, each of them had to make almost two hay every day.
About a hundred kilograms of hay, otherwise, the stored hay will be used up quickly.
Fortunately, weeds can be seen everywhere in the jungle, especially along the rivers. Weeds grow particularly vigorously. Even in winter, there are still extremely cold-resistant grasses in some places.
The three of them walked along the river deep into the jungle for a while, and soon found a large piece of grass. Of course, most of the weeds were withered and yellow at this time, and only some green leaves could still be seen near the river bank.
This work of cutting grass is naturally very simple for them. Zhao Hao only needs to draw out his magic weapon and wave it casually, and the hay with a radius of more than ten meters will fall down in pieces. Ayun and Ayue
Just pick it up and throw it into the bamboo house.
It didn't take long for the three bamboo baskets to be full. Two baskets of hay and one basket of green grass weighed about two hundred kilograms each. Immediately afterwards, Ayun and Ayue invited Menglan and Mengbao to fill the three baskets.
Hanging them on their backs, Zhao Hao dug out a few more large bamboo shoots and pressed them directly on top of the basket. The three of them and the two beasts walked straight through the deep snow towards the north grassland.
The bamboo forest where they live is not close to the grassland. Although Bailong can carry the three of them for about half an hour, the distance would take about half a day to walk.
Fortunately, the stables were not built on the edge of the grassland, because there were mostly cattle and sheep pens, and the herds of wild horses that were more capable of crossing mountains and ridges were placed less than an hour away from the bamboo forest.
Moreover, another advantage of traveling in winter is that you can walk on a flat river. The ice and snow on the river are extremely thick at this time, so you don’t have to worry about falling into the water.
The three of them and the two beasts walked on the river for less than an hour. The huge stables were already in sight, far away. Grandmother greeted them with a smile: "Tian, Ayun, Ayue, you are here.
, by the way, and these two little guys, I still have a lot of goat milk in the house, do you want to drink it?"
Goat milk, drink it!
They had almost consumed the ten kilograms of goat's milk in the morning, and now they were a little hungry again.
As soon as this guy heard that there was milk to drink, these two guys ran to grandma's tent desperately, and they didn't even have time to take off the bamboo basket on their backs.
Ayun and Ayue chased after them helplessly, helped them unload the bamboo baskets on their backs, found some water to help them wash the bamboo shoots, and threw them in front of them. Then, the three of them followed, carrying the bamboo baskets on their backs.
Grandma walked to the stable together.
These stables are not individual huts. There are tens of thousands of wild horses. How many huts will be built? With dozens of people from the Salt Department, I'm afraid they won't be able to build it for several months.
They simply cut down some trees in a dense forest and surrounded them to block the cold wind. The rest of the trees were left intact. Anyway, there were dense branches and leaves blocking them, and the heavy snow could not fall at all. As long as
Just block the cold wind around you.
Tens of thousands of wild horses crowded together can actually keep each other warm. It can be said that the stable is steaming with steam at this moment. More than ten tribesmen who got up early have begun to put hay in the stable. Grandma also took two baskets of hay and went to the side.
After feeding, Zhao Hao and the others went directly to where Bai Long and his harem were, dumping a large basket of dry grass on the ground, and Bai Long and his "concubines" gathered around to eat it.
Zhao Hao caressed Bai Long's neck, looking at the steaming heat and busy clansmen around him, a smile couldn't help but appear on his face.
It’s not too cold this winter!
At this moment, all the Yan tribe members have put on thick sheepskin coats and have no problem working outside. Who would have thought that last winter, they could only hide in their animal skin skirts and sleeveless waistcoats?
