Yao Xiaoqing went to find some long ropes used to build houses and let Muna and the others watch the seeds drying. She and the women went to the field, pulled up the long ropes, marked out the size of the field, and started to open the fields.
ridging.
After driving a few cars of land and digging ditches, Yao Xiaoqing suddenly thought that he had never expected to plant so much land, and the fertilizer he had saved would definitely not be enough.
She said to Yuzi: "Yaozi, the fertilizer in the fertilizer pit may not be enough. Ask a few people to go to the woods outside and dig some mulch back."
After hearing this, A Chong said: "Xiao Qing, there is a thick layer of mulch outside the west wall. Let's dig there."
Yao Xiaoqing nodded, "Okay, try to dig out as much as possible, otherwise there won't be enough fertilizer."
"Okay!" Ah Chong nodded in agreement, took a few people, and went back to pick up the basket with wooden shovels.
More than a dozen people worked hard all day, digging up all the land and starting to spread fertilizer the next day.
I thought about plowing it with a rake after spreading fertilizer, and covering it with soil after sowing seeds.
Yao Xiaoqing thought of a way and asked Dashi and others to dig several wooden rakes out of wood and tie stones to the wooden rakes. The wooden teeth penetrated deeply into the soil, turning over the broken soil and raking them quickly and evenly.
Wheat and millet were sown into the ground, the wooden rake was turned over, tied with stones, and the rake was pulled to cover the wheat seeds with a layer of soil.
Five or six days passed in a flash, and Yaohu and the others had been out for more than ten days, and the people in the tribe began to worry.
At dusk, Yao Xiaoqing climbed to the top of a building in the last row of courtyards and looked into the woods to the north. Suddenly he saw a group of people walking towards the small gate at the foot of the mountain with their backs on their backs.
"He's back, my father is back." Yao Xiaoqing shouted to the people working in the fields, then ran downstairs and went straight to the small door.
When he opened the door, he saw Mu Feng, who looked like a cat with a colorful face. Yao Xiaoqing smiled and narrowed his eyes, "Brother, you are back!"
"Well!" Mu Feng also looked happy, "How did you know we were back? What have you been up to! You're all tanned."
Yao Xiaoqing pouted dissatisfiedly, "How can you not be tanned? You are tanned! You are almost as good as charcoal." After saying that, he felt that his pouting action was a bit childish, so he blushed and ran to Yao Hu,
"Father, why have you been gone for so long? You must be exhausted!"
She looked at everyone and saw that everyone was tanned, unshaven, with chapped lips, faces covered with dirt, their hair was knotted together, and even their eye sockets were sunken. It was estimated that everyone had lost at least ten pounds.
Yao Hu looked at her happily, "I'm not tired, I just want to eat the tribe's food. The food outside is really unpalatable!"
Muba laughed at the side, "Xiaoqing, you have made our mouths so naughty that every barbecue no longer tastes good."
Yao Xiaoqing smiled and said: "There is delicious food in the tribe. We pickled sour bamboo shoots and dried them in the sun. Uncle Chong and the others brought back a lot of fish and shrimp this morning. They will prepare delicious food for you when we get back."
Yao Hu turned around and waved to the people behind him, "Okay, everyone, let's have a good meal tonight."
Shan squeezed up from behind and said with a smile: "Xiao Qing, we caught a lot of prey this time, and the baskets on our backs are full of dried meat."
After taking a look, they saw their backs bent by the backpacks and the wild animals carried on their shoulders. Yao Xiaoqing smiled and nodded, "The harvest is really good! Come back early next time, everyone will be worried about you."
