Chapter 214 214 Go again (rewards and extra updates)
It rained for two days before it stopped. After the autumn rain, the sky turned blue and the weather became dry and cold.
Several small groups of the hunting team discussed with Yao Hu. They planned to take the warriors into the mountains to hunt again before winter came.
Yao Hu nodded, "It's okay to go there again, but don't go into the mountains this time. Walk along the hills by the river for four or five days, and you will see dozens of them, like bamboo shoots that have just emerged from the soil.
The hillock.”
"There is a valley surrounded by mountains deep in the forest. In the past, there were wild boars, cattle, musk deer and woolly sheep, as well as big cats, black bears and other ferocious beasts. This time we will go to forty-five warriors and call Jiang Li.
They have more than fifty warriors, and they are not afraid even if they encounter big beasts."
Shan said: "Chief, it's hard to find them there, I'll take them there!"
"Okay, you can just go and watch." Yao Hu thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.
Mu Feng said, "Father, we are bringing the wound medicine made by Xiao Qing. As long as it does not hurt any fatal part, we are not afraid."
Yao Hu looked at them sternly, "Uncle Shan will take you to the Qingshan tribe to see if Jiang Li and the others are going. If they don't go, you don't want to go there."
A group of people responded in unison: "Yes, leader."
Yaohu led them to gather the people, ordered forty-five strong warriors, and asked Mufeng, Muba, Leopard, and Dashu to lead them out.
Yao Xiaoqing packed some medicine, water bottles and food for Muba.
Everyone sent them out of the tribe.
Mufeng and the others waved and strode towards the Qingshan Tribe.
As soon as they reached the river, they saw Jiang Li, Heiba and the others walking towards this side.
Mu Feng looked at them carrying backpacks and weapons, "Jiang Li, did you come to ask us to go hunting?"
Jiang Li smiled and nodded, "Yes, let's go into the mountains before the weather gets colder."
"My father said..."
Jiang Li thought it was okay, "Okay, let's walk upstream along the hills." Dozens of men walked upstream.
After Mufeng and the others left, Yaohu took about ten people and oxen and walked towards the mine. He planned to dig more ore back and pile it there to slowly refine iron tools in the winter.
Yao Xiaoqing and a few women took the rabbit fur and wool out of the warehouse, boiled hot water, washed it with ash and soap locust, spread it thinly and spread it in the courtyard to dry in the sun for a whole day.
Just dry it in the sun.
After being washed, the hair cut off from long-haired goats feels particularly soft and smooth. Yao Xiaoqing thought that after the cloth was woven, she would use the wool to make wool quilts and wool mats.
Taro and Douzi took a few women and were busy making paper every day. Shan Amu took a dozen women and started sewing animal skin clothes and pants in winter.
Yao Xiaoqing drew a drawing and gave it to the old uncle of the construction team, and asked him to lead people to build a papermaking workshop under the wall. A large vat for cooking bark was filled with clay and oyster ash, and a chimney was built.
Several treadmills were placed in the workshop to pound paper pulp, and a row of soaking pools and sinks were built. The sewage was discharged through clay pipes and carried to a pit for dumping.
After arranging the layout of the papermaking workshop, she went to the greenhouse.
The greenhouse is six meters wide and about ten meters long. A piece of wood is placed on the roof one foot apart, and the highest point is only two meters high. There are two rectangular vegetable beds built with stones inside, and the inside is paved with more than one meter of mixed vegetables.
Mud of soil.
Ah Chun was passing by carrying hay and saw Yao Xiaoqing walking over, "Xiao Qing, don't cover the roof with thatch. It will leak when it rains."
"If you cover it with thatch, the vegetables inside can't bask in the sun. You can only use a straw curtain to cover it." Yao Xiaoqing said with a smile.
Ah Chun finally understood and said with a smile: "I thought that was what it was like."
Yao Xiaoqing took Bao Amu to weave more than a dozen straw curtains with cattail grass. After weaving them, they reinforced them with bamboo slices and sewed them together with cane bark strings.
The straw curtain was finished, but the reel for rolling it was still missing. Yao Xiaoqing thought of bamboo poles. After going to the woodshed to check, he found that all the moso bamboo stored in it was moso bamboo. The bottom of the moso bamboo pole was too thick and not suitable for a reel.
Yao Xiaoqing thought for a moment and thought of a type of bamboo called aleaf. This type of bamboo is more than ten meters long. The bamboo pole is straight and thick, with a diameter of only two to six centimeters. It is most suitable for building scaffolding.
Pick straw and make farm tools.
She found Ah Chong and went to the bamboo forest together. After walking around in the bamboo forest for a long time, she finally found a few clusters of springs.
"Finally I found you!" Yao Xiaoqing looked at the tough-headed spring with a murderous smile on his face, "Uncle Chong, this is what you want."
Ah Chong held it and shook it a few times, "Xiao Qing, this bamboo is long and slender, different from the ones we chopped back before."
"This is so good. It's best for rolling up straw curtains."
Ah Chong nodded, "As long as you agree."
Yao Xiaoqing picked a few slender springs, picked up a machete, and started chopping them. Ah Chong shaved off the branches on the bamboo poles, and the two of them carried them back.
Ah Chong looked at the tender bamboos in the Moso bamboo bush and asked, "Xiao Qing, are there any bamboo shoots in winter?"
Yao Xiaoqing glanced at him with a smile, "Yes, do you want to eat bamboo shoots? There are also dried bamboo shoots in the tribe. Let's go back and soak some for roasting meat."
Ah Chong shook his head and said with a smile: "I thought there is less food in winter, and if there are winter bamboo shoots, let's dig some back when we come over to look at the traps."
Yao Xiaoqing thought that winter bamboo shoots are a product of the south, "If it's too cold, winter bamboo shoots won't grow. If it's as cold as last year, I'm afraid they won't grow either."
Ah Chong nodded, "Forget it's cold. If it's not cold, let's come and take a look. Ah Yun is still thinking about digging bamboo and planting it next year!"
Yao Xiaoqing, "We have built a greenhouse and can grow leeks, garlic sprouts, wild vegetables and cabbage. We don't have to worry about running out of vegetables when the weather gets cold."
"Yeah! I need to cut more firewood and put it back. I think it's better to use the green pole wood to make the fire. I'll take people to the forest when I get back and cut more firewood and put it back."
Yao Xiaoqing felt that Ah Chongbo and the others were just like her grandfather's generation in her previous life, unable to take a day off.
"The woodshed at the foot of the mountain is already full, so don't be too tired."
Ah Chong said cheerfully: "I'm not tired. Everyone said that my hair has turned black since I came here."
Yao Xiaoqing laughed after hearing this, "This is a good thing, it means that your body has become stronger."
Two hours later, the two returned to the tribe and had lunch. Yao Xiaoqing took Bao Amu and carried two bamboo poles to the greenhouse, rolled the bamboo poles inside the straw curtain, tied them with ropes, and finally
A long rope is tied to each end of the bamboo pole.
Several women stepped on the bamboo ladder, lifted the straw curtain to the top of the greenhouse, and covered it.
Yao Xiaoqing and Bao Amu each pulled a rope, and the bamboo pole and the straw curtain were rolled up to the roof of the greenhouse.
"Okay, when the weather gets cold we can plant vegetables to eat."
Bao Amu nodded repeatedly, "Xiao Qing, let's dig up a mound of leeks first and plant them inside. We can harvest them even when the weather gets cold."
Ah Chun came over and said: "Xiaoqing, the greenhouse is close to the pig pen, so we don't have to make a separate fire to cook pig food."
Yao Xiaoqing smiled and said: "Okay, let's dig leeks."
