Chapter 871: Ancient Farming by Internet Celebrities (6)
After everyone listened to Xu Yin’s arrangement, they couldn’t help but get excited:
"Great witch, do you really want to teach us?"
"Great wizard, do you know how to make pottery? I heard that this is a craft that only the great wizards of the Guangming Tribe can do."
"Great Witch, how are you making the wooden barrel you brought? This water-carrying bucket is much lighter than the stone pot. Can you teach us?"
When talking about wooden barrels, Xu Yin thought of mineral salt: "Oh, I have to lend two of my people to dig more mineral salt and boil it."
"Salt?"
"Is that salt you brought, Great Witch?"
"Oh my God! We have salt!"
Xu Yin: "..."
Yes, comrades, there is an entire salt mine, and our small tribe of less than twenty people will not be able to eat it all in our lifetime.
Collecting, boiling salt, weaving, making pottery, hunting, breeding...all positions require labor, and there are really not enough manpower!
Xu Yin stood in front of the stone cave, raised her hand to cover her forehead, and looked at the bright sun. She was glad that it was summer and she had time to arrange for her to store it for autumn and winter.
When spring comes next year, she plans to lead everyone to open up wasteland and cultivate land.
If we can find suitable clay, we plan to build a kiln and burn bricks to build a house.
Of course, you must first increase the force value, preferably one that the entire tribe can learn and use.
Otherwise, how can we protect our homeland?
After the tribesmen assigned the tasks, they started to act in high spirits.
The old man and his cubs could not do the work of hunting and gathering, so they sat in front of the cave and learned to weave.
After the first batch of vines were collected, Xu Yin first taught them how to weave clothes. After everyone had a veil to wear, he taught them how to weave bags. The knitted bags were used to collect and assemble wild fruits, wild vegetables, and Panax notoginseng. This was better than a leaf bag.
The transportation efficiency of wild fruits and vegetables is much higher.
Xu Yin also found a kind of rattan that was stronger than soft rattan and softer than branches. She led the people of the left-behind tribe to weave baskets of different sizes. The baskets could be carried or carried, and the baskets could be picked or carried.
More practical than bags.
The collection team is responsible for providing wild vegetables and fruits for three meals a day.
In the past, when they encountered unfamiliar plants, they would ignore them. Now, if there is a big witch, they will wrap them in large non-toxic leaves and pick them.
Not to mention, Xu Yin actually discovered some edible ones.
One is a tuber similar to a potato, but larger than an ordinary potato, and the skin is black. Let's call it a potato, or a black potato.
The tribesmen had dug it before, but it looked black. I had vaguely heard that some people in other tribes foamed at the mouth and died after eating this thing. They were worried that it was poisonous, so they didn't dare to touch it. Even if they dug it accidentally,
Get out of the way quickly.
Xu Yin wrapped it in bark and cut off the skin with a stone knife. She found that the color of the flesh was the same as that of potatoes. So she caught a pheasant and fed it alone with diced "black potatoes" for seven days. She found that the pheasant was not only
He was not poisoned, but he really liked eating this black potato. It was mixed with other grass seeds and pulp and sprinkled in front of it. It actually picked the "black potato" to eat first, and then other feeds.
This shows that black potatoes are not poisonous. The poison is probably the cause of sprouting. As long as you don’t eat sprouted black potatoes, you’ll be fine.
After hearing what the great witch said, the collection team began to search all over the hillside for these black potatoes.
After digging it back, follow Xu Yin's instructions, peel off the skin and stew the meat, or throw it whole by the campfire, roast it with the residual heat of the charcoal fire, peel it off and eat it.
The black potatoes, which have a completely different texture from meat, capture the taste buds of all tribesmen and young people. Read the book
From then on, they had a third type of food besides protein and vitamins - carbohydrates.
In addition to black potatoes, Xu Yin also discovered olives and garlic sprouts.
Wild olives are very bitter when eaten raw, so even if the tribesmen knew they could be eaten, they rarely picked them back.
As for the garlic sprouts here, they are three times thicker than ordinary garlic sprouts. If you chew them raw, they are spicy and irritating, and your stomach will not be able to bear it. Some people have stomach cramps after eating garlic sprouts, and no one dares to touch them again.
If the witch hadn't asked them to pick all the edible and inedible things for her to see, Achun and the others wouldn't have wanted to touch this stuff. Unexpectedly, after bringing it back, Xu Yin showed them how to use olives and garlic sprouts.
The correct way to eat——
After the olives are blanched and cooled, they are marinated in cold boiled water and salt for seven days. The salt water stimulates the fruity aroma of the olives, making them rich in flavor, sweet and sour, and very appetizing.
Choose crispy and green garlic sprouts, and stir-fry with alternately fat and lean meat slices. Before they come out of the pan, the overbearing aroma is overflowing. Who has the energy to work? Your mouth is watering. Come around and watch:
"Great Witch, what is this? It smells so good!"
"Great witch, is this Lu Miaomiao who has a stomachache after eating it?"
When they heard that they had eaten green rice that had a stomachache, everyone took a few steps back, not daring to eat it no matter how greedy they were.
Xu Yin said with a smile: "This is called garlic sprouts. It is spicy when eaten raw, so it is easy to irritate the stomach. But when it is fried and cooked, there is no such problem, and it is actually good for the body."
real?
Xu Yin was afraid that they wouldn't believe it, so after frying it, she picked up a chopstick with a chopstick cut from a tree branch and put it in her mouth. Oh! It's delicious!
She closed her eyes with contentment, the original era... no, the garlic sprouts in the original game, because they were thicker, and the garlic sprouts this season were a bit old, so when washing them, they specially cut off the skin and pulled out the tendons, and then stir-fried them.
It tastes crispy and tender, and is more fragrant and delicious than ordinary garlic sprouts.
Seeing the great witch eating so deliciously, what are other people waiting for?
You fight for my space to eat.
You won’t know it if you don’t eat it, but you won’t forget it once you eat it.
Everyone’s eyes were shining: Let’s go! Let’s get some garlic sprouts!
At this time, they plundered all the black potatoes, garlic sprouts, and olives all over the mountains and plains.
It’s also good to marinate olives to make preserves.
Garlic sprouts are indeed eaten in this season, they are too old after August.
The black potatoes that mature this season are mostly spring potatoes, and you may be able to dig up another batch before winter.
However, potatoes tend to sprout if stored for a long time. If they sprout, you can plant them, but you cannot eat them.
Xu Yin repeatedly warned the tribesmen, and held a guessing competition every night while eating and chatting around the campfire——
"How to stop bleeding with Panax notoginseng leaves?"
“Under what circumstances should you never eat potatoes?”
"How can I eat garlic sprouts without stomachache?"
“What’s the best way to make olives taste best?”
“Why boil salt?”
"Why drink boiled water?"
“What nutrients do potatoes have?”
"..."
And so on.
she asked, and others rushed to answer.
If you answer correctly, you will be rewarded with a blessing from the great witch. If you answer incorrectly, you will be punished by getting up early the next day to cook for everyone, or collecting everyone's poop and composting it.
After a few rounds, it will be difficult for everyone to remember it.
When things got better for the weaving team and the collection team had enough containers, Xu Yin took them to the woods where the winged tigers inhabited.
She didn't have time to inspect the hilltop where the tribe was located. Anyway, it was right in front of her home. So there was no need to worry, so she picked the Panax notoginseng from the woods first.
She estimated that this season should be June or July, because the Panax notoginseng flowers are still green like the leaves, but this is the best season for harvesting the Panax notoginseng inflorescences. The recent heavy transcoding has made us more motivated and updated faster.
