Yao Xiaoqing organized his words, "Just burn the firewood you need. This can slow down the decay of the wood."
Jiang Li smiled and said: "I took people to find thick nanmu in the forest. This kind of tree is hard and not easy to rot. Fortunately, I have a saw and an ax. Otherwise, I would not be able to cut them out of the mountain."
He paused and said, "After I came here, I saw a lot of nanmu in the forest. After I built the dock, I took people to cut down the nanmu and came back. In later generations, nanmu was used exclusively by the emperors.
We can use this as we please.”
Yao Xiaoqing asked: "What kind of tree is nanmu? The golden nanmu should be used only by emperors!"
Jiang Li smiled and nodded, "There are several kinds of nanmu. The only kind that can be called golden nanmu. The surface of the wood has a golden light in the sun, with golden threads emerging, and has an elegant and delicate fragrance. It is delicate and smooth, and can be touched in winter.
Only those that are neither cold nor hot in summer can be called golden nanmu."
After hearing this, Yao Xiaoqing laughed and said: "I only recognize green barwood, pine and some common tree species in later generations. I have only heard of rare and precious woods like golden nanmu and huanghuali, but I have never seen them with my own eyes."
Jiang Li looked at her smiling face, stretched out his hand to smooth out a stray strand of hair on her temples, and said warmly: "I have seen a bookcase made of golden nanmu. I was curious, so I looked for some miscellaneous books to read and learned a little bit about it. In this other place
No, there are quite a few rare trees, and I will bring them back to make things for you."
After hearing this, Yao Xiaoqing felt a little sweet in her heart, smiled and nodded, "Okay, I'll wait to see Master Jiang's work."
"Yeah!" Jiang Li smiled and took her hand, "Let's go and choose the location of the pier and start paving and hardening the road." He looked at her smile and felt as if he was bathing in the warm sunshine of spring, which made people feel happy.
Warmth.
Yao Xiaoqing nodded, and the two of them went to the river together. They saw that the river was very lively, and there were people setting up fish traps to catch fish everywhere. Everyone was running barefoot in the shallow water, and there were even half-grown children.
Playing by the river.
No wonder Shan'am and the others said that all the wild ducks had migrated to the other side of the river.
Yao Xiaoqing looked at the scene in front of him with a smile, "When the natural disaster is over and we have stocked up enough food, we will go into the mountains to find some fruit trees, flowers and trees and plant them along the coast to make this place a paradise."
Jiang Li looked at her with a smile and nodded, "On that day we will enjoy the flowers in spring, enjoy the cool weather in summer, pick in autumn, and enjoy the snow in winter."
Yao Xiaoqing laughed, "One day, we will live the legendary life of gods."
"Definitely!" Jiang Li looked at her, his eyes full of passion.
Yao Xiaoqing turned around uncomfortably and saw Shishan and Sunzi Kui walking over carrying a wooden bucket.
"Qing Wu, leader Jiang Li, you also come to the river to fish!"
Yao Xiaoqing looked at him and smiled and said: "Let's come over and take a look. Jiang Li wants to build a dock here so that in autumn we can punt and go hunting on the other side."
Shi Shan didn't understand what a dock was. When he heard that he could go hunting on the other side in autumn, he smiled with a smile on his face, "Chief Jiang Li is very capable! I'll have people come and work with me when the time comes!"
Jiang Li nodded cheerfully, "Okay, I will definitely ask you for help when the time comes."
Shi Shan patted his grandson who had grown a lot thicker and said, "Kui, my name is Qing Gu! Leader Jiang Li!"
"Qinggu! Chief Jiang Li!" Kui shouted loudly, turning to look at Yao Xiaoqing, "Qinggu, do you still have that white, sweet honey at your house?"
"Haha!" Shishan smiled and patted him, "Just remember to eat the little things."
"Children all like to eat sweet food!" Yao Xiaoqing turned to look at Kui, "Yes! What are you giving Qinggu in exchange for!"
Kui turned and pointed at the barrel, then turned to look at her, "Shrimp. Grandpa said you like to eat it. I'll trade it with you for the shrimp, okay?"
Shi Shan smiled and rubbed his head, "You brat, my grandfather sent the shrimps to Qing Gu. You can exchange them for honey."
Yao Xiaoqing looked at him and thought of You Lu who never moved away from something delicious. He pursed his lips and said with a smile: "As smart as his father!"
"He has a greedy mouth just like his father!" Shi Shan said and laughed, looking at the two of them, "You guys watch slowly, I'll go talk to your father."
Yao Xiaoqing nodded and stroked Kui's furry head, "Kui, go to the cafeteria and ask Yun Amu to bring you some white honey."
Kui smiled and nodded, "Yes, Qinggu."
Shishan smiled and led Kui away.
Yao Xiaoqing and Jiang Li chose the location of the dock by the river, moved a few stones to mark it, and then walked back.
Shishan led Kui to the Yaoshan tribe. Ah Xing, who was working in the canteen, heard that he was coming and welcomed him out happily.
As soon as Kui saw her, he said, "Auntie, Qinggu promised to give me honey to eat."
Ah Xing smiled and patted him, "Glutty, ask Yun Amu to get it for you."
"Oh!" Kui Dengdeng ran into the cafeteria.
Shishan handed the bucket to Ah Xing, "Take it in, the bucket contains the shrimps caught this morning." He thought that the Yaoshan tribe had helped them so much, and they had no ability to repay them, so they could only make some that Qingwu liked.
Snacks are delivered.
Ah Xing glanced at the river shrimps in the bucket and took the bucket happily, "Father, please wait here for a while. I will take you to Dad's place."
Shishan nodded and looked at his rosy-cheeked daughter. He felt very happy and felt that it was indeed right to allocate her to the Yaoshan tribe. He had never experienced such a life in his dreams.
Axing put down the barrel and came out, looking at him with a smile, "Father, Mufeng took people out to hunt. Yaohu and his father went to the Tuyao to cut down trees to open up wasteland. My father said that all the trees there should be cut down.
After cutting it down, we still need to build a road leading to the bamboo forest."
Shishan looked at Ah Xing and said with a smile: "From now on, the Yaoshan tribe will not be able to finish all the grains and beans they harvest."
Ah Xing nodded proudly, "Father, last time Mu Feng brought people to help, did you learn how we farm?"
"Mu Feng and a few old uncles have taught us, and everyone has remembered it! We also built several pens for raising livestock, and caught pheasants, ducks, rabbits, and goats and raised them back." Shi Shan said.
The father and daughter talked and slowly walked towards the woods.
****
The tribes in Shanyang and the south left no seeds. In such weather, all the tribesmen went out to hunt. The men went up to the mountains to hunt, and the women gathered kudzu, yam, and taro. The nearby mountains and forests were full of shadows of gathering teams.
Shan Yang counted the dried meat, yam, and kudzu that he had saved with a frown on his face, and shook his head again and again, "It's too little. This amount of food is not even half of what it was in previous years."
His son Ah Hong looked at him and said, "Father, there are far fewer people this year than in previous years!"
Shan Yang said angrily: "I didn't know there were more people in the past years! Why don't you think about the fact that the winter in previous years was not as long as it is now? If this winter is the same as last year, how will we live?"
A Hong stared blankly at the mountain sun for a moment, then lowered his head and said, "There are few prey in the mountains, and there is nothing I can do about it."
Thanks for the encouragement and support of Hanyue Lone Star 3! Thank you!
