After eating the food, everyone practiced archery for a while.
Yaohu thought that there were more and more places where backpacks were needed, so he asked Mufeng to teach Uncle Chong and Uncle Shui to make backpacks.
He took some big rocks with him to make stone spears out of flint.
After Yao Xiaoqing saw it, he took out his notebook and drew a picture of an arrow for him, and asked him to try to make an arrowhead out of flint.
The methods of making arrowheads and stone spears are very similar. Yaohu understood it after thinking about it for a while, picked up the flint and started making arrowheads.
Yao Xiaoqing sat in front of the fire and made a vegetable basket out of vines and branches. He planned to go to the forest to see if he could find spices such as ginger, onion, and garlic.
Shan'am and Yun'am looked at it for a while and said to her: "Xiaoqing, we want to learn from you how to weave that thing in your hand."
Yao Xiaoqing nodded cheerfully, "Okay! This is called a vegetable basket. You go get the vines and canes and I will teach you."
Hua looked at her nervously, "Xiaoqing, I want to learn too."
Yao Xiaoqing smiled and said: "Okay, if you learn how to make earthen pots at home, you can weave various rattan baskets."
Hua smiled and said: "Okay."
The three of them smiled gratefully at her, went out to get vines and canes, and followed her to learn.
Now, except Yaya who was asleep, everyone in the cave was busy doing their work.
Everyone was so busy that they yawned all day long before they fell asleep separately.
After Yao Xiaoqing washed up, she took her sleeping bag to the bamboo shed, closed the bamboo door and put on a cotton body shirt, climbed onto the bamboo bed and got into the sleeping bag. She took a deep breath, thinking that she finally got rid of the smell of sweat and feet.
, and the smell of fireworks in the cave, I fell into a comfortable sleep.
Mufeng spread a layer of animal skins on the bamboo bed, and Pigeon ran to huddle with him.
After a good night's sleep, at dawn the next day, Yao Xiaoqing was awakened by the voices of Yao Hu and others talking.
As I ran outside with the paper, I remembered that I had forgotten to dig a latrine.
After returning from the forest, Mu Feng and the others had already gone hunting.
Yaohu and Dashi went to the traps, but no prey was found in either trap. The two walked back a little frustrated.
After Yao Xiaoqing came back to wash up and eat, she found that the golden retriever was missing again. She was used to it disappearing every three days and no longer went out to look for it.
After eating, I went to look around the fields and saw that the fences were in good condition and there were no signs of damage.
I came out of the field with confidence and looked at the land that had been cut down. In just two days, a large area had been created. The cut firewood and timber were piled at the foot of the mountain as high as a hill.
She thought that after they cleared out the pond area, which was almost over 100 acres, and if they opened up more land, they would be able to find stones to build walls and build houses.
First go to the forest to find some fruit trees and plant them farther away from the fence. When autumn comes, you will also have to look for food seeds to plant in the next spring.
At this time, Yao Hu came over with an engineering shovel, and Yao Xiaoqing ran over and grabbed him.
"Father, come with me and help me dig a big hole."
Yaohu thought she was going to dig a trap somewhere, so he happily followed her to the south wall.
Yao Xiaoqing drew a large pit two meters high and three meters wide, and said to him: "Father, just follow my drawing and dig a deeper pit here."
Yao Hu thought she was going to dig a trap here, so he shook his head and said, "Xiao Qing, if you dig a trap here, you won't be able to catch wild animals."
Yao Xiaoqing explained with a blush, "Father, you are not digging a trap, you are digging a cesspool."
Yao Hu looked at her in confusion, "What is a cesspit?"
Yao Xiaoqing stamped her feet, "Oh! It's what we use to pull daddy."
Yao Hu looked at her strangely, "You can pull it anywhere in the forest!"
Yao Xiaoqing was speechless, "Father, if we want to grow food, we need fertilizer. Our dada is fertilizer."
Yao Hu didn't understand what fertilizer was, and he didn't know why he had to dig a pit to pull out the poop. Seeing that it was Yao Xiaoqing who wanted it, he smiled and nodded, "Okay, father, dig the manure pit."
Yao Xiaoqing smiled and said, "Thank you, Father."
"Xiaoqing, thank you for what?"
Only then did Yao Xiaoqing realize that he had unknowingly used the language of his previous life.
"Father, thank you means that when we do things for others, they feel happy that we are willing to help them and are very grateful to us, so they say thank you to us!"
Yao Hu understood and looked at her with a smile, "You are my daughter, no thank you!"
Yao Xiaoqing looked at him and laughed, "Okay! Shan Amu and I will go up the mountain to look for wild vegetables."
Yao Hu warned: "Don't go too far, be careful of wild beasts."
"Hey!" Yao Xiaoqing responded with a crisp voice. He went back, carrying his backpack, Shan Amu and the others, and walked towards the forest above the cave.
As soon as he reached the slope, he found a small patch of green wild leeks. Yao Xiaoqing happily jumped on it and took out a bamboo knife to pry it up.
Shan'am saw her happy look and asked with a smile: "Xiaoqing, what is this thing called?"
Yao Xiaoqing thought that this thing would be delicious in dumplings and barbecue, but the only way to eat it now was fried duck eggs.
"These are called wild leeks. They are very delicious when fried with duck eggs after being chopped into small pieces. Let's dig some and make a vegetable garden and plant them in the vegetable garden. It will be convenient to eat in the future."
The two nodded, "Okay, if Xiaoqing says it's delicious, let's cut some more and take them back."
The three of them pried up the patch of wild leeks with their roots and soil, and put them into their backpacks with leaves as cushions.
Then he dug up a few honeysuckle plants and a piece of Houttuynia cordata. After walking a few steps, he found some fungus on a dead tree. Yao Xiaoqing thought of fried meat with fungus and picked them all into the basket on his back.
The woods are full of bigfoot mushrooms, chanterelles, gallinobacteria, boletus and other mushrooms.
Yao Xiaoqing thought to herself: In the previous life, these kinds of mushrooms were not cheap. They could be found everywhere, and no one even picked them up.
Shan Amu looked at the mushrooms in her vegetable basket and asked curiously: "Xiao Qing, can these things be eaten?"
"Some are edible, and some are poisonous and cannot be eaten. Just pick the ones I picked up and don't want anything else."
"Okay." The two of them also bent down and picked it up.
Before we had gone far, the two backpacks were full.
Shan Amu said to Yao Xiaoqing: "Xiaoqing, we are going back. We are afraid of wild animals if we go in again."
I didn't see any of Jiang Conglian, and I really couldn't bear to go back like this. Looking down at his small body and the two thin women, and then looking at the somewhat gloomy forest in front of me, Yao Xiaoqing had no choice but to agree to go home.
.
I thought to myself: I have to practice hard when I go back, otherwise I will only be able to make food for wild animals.
Yun Amu and Shan Amu were walking in front with their backpacks on their backs. Yao Xiaoqing was walking slowly behind them with a vegetable basket. A pair of eyes like black grapes were searching everywhere like radar, trying to find He Jiang.
Plants that are similar to onions and garlic, even if they are the same, that’s fine!
Just as they were about to go down the mountain, Yao Xiaoqing hadn't found what she was looking for. Suddenly, a bunch of dark green things caught her eyes. She ran over in a few steps, picked up one and smelled it. It looked like
The leek-like leaves and the white garlic head underneath smiled and narrowed his eyes, "Hey! It really is wild garlic."
