Chapter 875: Ancient Farming by Internet Celebrities (10)
Xu Yin took a sip of Panax notoginseng flower tea. It was slightly bitter and astringent. Although it had a sweet aftertaste, it still made her miss the glycolic fruit wine crafted in the system warehouse.
But right now, there are wild fruits, but there is no sugar to promote fermentation. She can't guarantee whether she can make delicious fruit wine, she can only say that she is trying.
The women in the collection team would come back with a lot of wild fruits every time they went out.
Xu Yin picked some sweet fruits such as yellow-skinned fruits, crushed them and put them into a pottery pot, spread a fresh leaf on the mouth of the pot, and then closed the lid.
"Great witch, the fruit is rotten, can you still eat it?"
Daying frowned and tentatively asked the thoughts of all the people.
Xu Yin said: "Try it, I hope the fermentation will be successful and the fruit wine will be made."
Everyone looked at each other with confusion in their eyes: "Fruit wine? What is that?"
"nice drink."
"Better than tea?"
They have recently become obsessed with Panax notoginseng flower tea. Although it is slightly bitter and astringent, compared with the tasteless boiled water, it is simply the nectar given to them by the Nuwa Empress.
Speaking of boiled water, they used to go to the river to drink water when they were thirsty. How could they scoop it back and boil it before drinking it? Isn’t it still water after boiling it? It won’t turn into other food. If it is boiled and then drank, wouldn’t it be boiled water?
Farting in a grass skirt is unnecessary?
Besides, who can drink hot water on such a hot day? What a waste of firewood.
Since the arrival of the great witch, they have been taught to drink boiled water and to eat well-cooked meat, otherwise it is unhygienic and may cause illness or death in severe cases.
What is hygiene? They don't understand.
But sickness and death are known to them.
If you waste firewood, just waste firewood! The worst thing you can do is set out early in the future, cut more branches, cut some grass and come back to dry it.
You still have to listen to what the great witch says. Otherwise, what will happen if she runs away if she becomes unhappy?
Empress Nuwa assigned such a capable and kind witch to their tribe. If they couldn't keep people, wouldn't it be their fault?
Fortunately, not long after, the great witch taught them to make Panax notoginseng tea. With this tea, some people who hated boiling water no longer resisted.
Unexpectedly, today the great witch said that there is a better drink than panax notoginseng tea. This made them lick their lips that had been peeled by the hot sun, and couldn't help but think: How delicious and sweet it would be?
Xu Yin used branches to draw a lifelike clump of sugar cane in the mud: "This is called sugar cane. When you go out, if you see something similar, remember to cut down a few and come back to show me. The color of its skin may be green."
Yes, it may also be purple-black."
"Does it serve any purpose?"
"Well, it has a wide range of uses."
"Okay Great Witch, we will search carefully."
Xu Yin thought for a while, then drew horizontally and vertically, and then drew more of the same thing.
She moved her position and drew a clump of bamboo: "This is called bamboo. It is segmented like sugar cane, but it is much thicker and taller than sugar cane. And it is hollow inside, unlike sugar cane."
Plump and juicy.”
Xu Yin has always wanted to build a house and live in a stone cave. It may be warm in winter, but it is really not a good place to live in summer.
If the entrance of the cave is not blocked, you will worry about wild beasts breaking in at night; if it is blocked, it will be really boring if there are no windows or doors.
Xu Yin has been thinking about building a house.
But the soft clay used for kneading pottery is not suitable for baking bricks. She has not yet found the mud suitable for burning bricks and tiles.
I originally thought that after finishing this busy period, I would lead the hunting team to cut down more thick logs and build a few elevated wooden houses first.
However, it was time-consuming and laborious to cut thick pieces of wood into a thickness suitable for building a wooden house. When she was painting sugar cane just now, she had a thought in her mind: If she could find a bamboo forest, she wouldn't have these worries.
Cutting down bamboo is definitely easier than cutting down wood; moreover, you can build a bamboo house without any processing, which is cool and safe.
After all, the stone knife is too dull. It would be great if we could find iron ore.
With this in mind, she said to her people: "When you go out and find a dark red or even black hard stone, bring it to me."
Everyone nodded in unison.
No need to ask, just ask because the great witch has a purpose.
I gave the little tiger baby a peaceful and beautiful full moon, and then continued their fulfilling and busy days.
The supplies in the tribe gradually became abundant through hunting, gathering, weaving, breeding, salt cooking, pottery making, etc.
In particular, boiling salt and making pottery have become projects that tribal people are proud of.
In the open space in front of the department, a bonfire was lit every day, and people were boiling salt and making pottery.
In addition, in order to improve everyone's work efficiency, Xu Yin set up a shift schedule. Except for the hunting group and the young cubs, everyone else must take turns. Those whose turn it is are not required to go out and stay in the tribe to take charge of the day.
of food.
Looking at it this way, it seems that the Xu tribe has not put out the fire.
The cross-river tribe on the other side of the river was extremely puzzled by this, and took some time to gather in front of their great shaman's cave to discuss:
"According to my observation, the Xu tribe has been lighting the fire very early every day recently, and it has not been extinguished until dark."
"What on earth are they doing? Are they driving away ferocious beasts? But I haven't heard of any ferocious beasts appearing nearby recently, not to mention it's still daytime."
"Could they have found some kind of food that needed to be cooked for a long time?"
"Wizard, what do you think?"
The great shaman of the Cross River Tribe is called "Min", and he is the oldest man in the tribe. No one can tell how old he is now. The older generation in the tribe who cares about their grandchildren can only remember that they were young and had not yet married their partners.
When the contract was formed, the great witch's temples were already gray and he needed a cane to walk on the mountain road.
At this moment, Min was so old that all his teeth had fallen out, his back was so hunched that he had a big bulge, and his gray beard reached to his knees. Only his wise eyes, when he lifted up his folded eyelids, remained strong.
He looked around at the people of the tribe, and an old voice sounded:
"The Xu tribe is a young tribe, and it is normal to have some deviant thoughts and practices. On the other hand, the Winged Tribe has been very restless recently. I peeked into the sea of stars a few days ago, and I had a premonition that dark clouds would cover the sky above our tribe recently.
, this is a sign of great misfortune, but there is a faint glimmer of hope. It’s just that I haven’t seen through where the hope is.”
As soon as these words came out, the people of the Cross River tribe felt confused and uneasy.
The great witch will not lie to them! The great witch's ability to predict has never failed!
So, will a disaster really happen to their tribe?
"Great witch, can life save our entire tribe??"
The great witch shook his head: "I have never seen through it."
"The great witch, could it be related to that mysterious stone?"
Someone among them muttered something quietly.
Everyone was shocked. The elders of the tribe all thought of the exiled woman they had taken in more than ten years ago and who had given them a mysterious stone from the Guangming Tribe before she died.
According to her, this mysterious stone can bring light and hope to the tribe, otherwise the great witch of the Bright Tribe would not value it more than life.
In order to hide this secret, they alienated themselves from other tribes. Except for trade fairs, at other times, they closed their doors and thanked guests.
