Chapter 327 327 Lots of food and women
Ah Que went to bring another pot of bamboo leaf tea and placed it on the tree stump table nearby.
Shi Shan told Yao Xiaoqing about the Dragon Tribe coming to exchange for salt, "Qing Wu, do you still want to hold the autumn fair? You can exchange salt for food."
Yao Xiaoqing frowned, "The Dragon Tribe!" She vaguely remembered that the Dragons were alligators and lived in the Yangtze River Basin. Could it be that they lived in the Yangtze River Basin?
Shishan said: "The Dragon Dragon tribe should be a tribe living in the east. They probably migrated here because of the earthquake. I wonder where they built their tribe's residence?
Also, I don’t think the man who takes the lead is a good person. Your outer wall hasn’t been built yet, so let the warriors on patrol be careful at night.”
Yao Xiaoqing nodded, "Whoever can migrate from such a far away place is a kind person."
Shishan nodded, "Qingsha is right. Will you still hold the Autumn Fair?"
Yao Xiaoqing smiled and said, "Yes! We'll open it when the grains are harvested!" She turned to look at Ah Que, "Bring over the quilt I put in the bamboo basket."
"Yes! Qingwu." Aque turned and walked towards the main room.
Shishan took a sip of bamboo leaf tea and looked at her with a smile, "Qingwu's tea leaves are better than ours. I've had several baskets of them dried this year to drink slowly in the winter!"
Yao Xiaoqing discovered that Shishan had stopped hunting in the mountains since he came here.
"When you have time, you can ask my father to come with you. We can go to the river to fish and shoot ducks. This will save my father from sitting in the stone room all day without going out."
Shishan smiled and nodded, "Okay, I'll call Su Gu when he takes it back. I'm not as strong as your father. When I was young, I was slapped by a black bear and almost served the gods."
Yao Xiaoqing looked at him with a smile, "It seems that you were also an extraordinary warrior when you were young."
"Hahaha!" Shishan laughed remembering the past, "That was also something that happened when I was young!"
Ah Que took the silk bundle and handed it to Yao Xiaoqing.
Yao Xiaoqing stood up and handed the quilt to Shishan, "Chief Shishan, this quilt is for you. It's just right to cover you in the cool autumn."
Shi Shan took the soft quilt and felt the warmth of the silk quilt. He was stunned for a moment and looked at Yao Xiaoqing with red eyes.
"Qing Wu, you and your father have given us too much. We don't have much ability, when can we repay you?"
Yao Xiaoqing felt embarrassed by his moved look, and waved his hand: "Chief Shishan, you said before that we are allies and should help each other. Besides, there are a lot of silkworm cocoons, which You Lu and his people helped collect.
ah!"
I'm so sorry that I take advantage of you every time!" Shi Shan lowered his head in disappointment, "I used to think about giving you some salt to help you, but I didn't know that your salt is better than ours."
"Brother Shishan, why do you say what women say?" Yao Hu walked over with a smile.
Shi Shan raised the quilt and said, "Look, this was given to me by Qingwu."
Yao Hu looked at him proudly, "Xiao Qing likes to do this."
Yao Xiaoqing saw the two people chatting lively, got up and walked out of the tribe.
When we arrived at the foot of the mountain, we saw that the gate at the entrance down the mountain had been built, and the mountain leaders were building the gate.
Yao Xiaoqing looked down the road. The millet in the field to his right would be ready for harvest in a few more days. A small number of golden old pumpkins could also be seen in the pumpkin patch to his left.
There are still many green and yellow semi-old pumpkins on the vines. Several women in the food team are in the fields, looking for those tender pumpkins that are too densely knotted, and cooking them with corn.
Going further, the sweet potato vines in the sweet potato field are already covered with beans. As long as the weather does not cool down, we can harvest a lot of pumpkins and sweet potatoes this year in January.
Yao Xiaoqing continued walking down. The wall at the foot of the mountain on the east had been built near the earthen kiln, and the wall on the west had been built up to the ditch under the spring.
The trees on the wasteland beyond the ditch have been cut down, and the open space is filled with firewood and branches.
When Ah Chong saw Yao Xiaoqing coming over, he walked over with a piece of white stuff and said, "Xiao Qing, look, we dug this on the mountain."
Yao Xiaoqing took it and took a look. It turned out to be a lump of gray-white, very fine kaolin clay, also called Guanyin soil. In the old society, poor people often relied on eating Guanyin soil to survive during lean years or famine years.
This kind of soil can satisfy hunger, but it cannot be digested and absorbed by the human body. After eating it, the stomach will be bloated, unable to defecate, and later it will be suffocated to death.
She had heard from her grandma before that some people in the village had eaten Guanyin soil during the three years of famine.
Porcelain made from aged clay is as white as jade and is expensive.
"Uncle Chong, don't use this white clay to make yellow bricks and tiles. Use it to make pottery bowls, pottery jars, pottery pots... The clay pottery will look good."
Ah Chong nodded repeatedly, "Hey! After we finish firing the yellow bricks and tiles, we'll get some white mud and come back to make pottery."
"Okay, you guys are busy, I have something to do with Wolf and Spear," Yao Xiaoqing said.
"Yeah!" Ah Chong said and walked towards the earthen kiln.
Yao Xiaoqing found Wolf and told him what Shishan had said, asking him to pay attention to people wandering in the mountains and woods.
The wolf nodded repeatedly, "As long as they dare to come, don't even think about walking out."
Yao Xiaoqing said: "The millet and pumpkins in the tribe are about to mature, and we must prevent other tribes from stealing the food.
The wood on the other side of the open space is all ready-made. You send some people over, start driving piles from the pond, and first use wood to surround the area where the wall has not yet been built."
The wolf nodded, "Yes, I will take someone to do it right away."
"Okay, I'll go back first."

Mang, Yangjiu and the others walked to the bamboo forest. He stopped and looked back, "Yangjiu, go and ask those people if they have any women in exchange for us? Also, what kind of tribe are they at the foot of the mountain?"
"Yes!" Yang Jiu responded and walked towards the bamboo forest.
When I arrived at the bamboo forest, I looked around and didn't see the two women just now. I saw Shanyang repairing a stone ax at the door of his house.
Yang Jiu smiled and stepped forward, "Brother, how long have you been migrating here?"
Shan Yang glanced at him and said nothing.
Yang Jiu was not embarrassed and said with a smile: "We are the Dragon Tribe who migrated from the east. We want to come to the Wuxian Tribe in exchange for salt."
Shan Yang then raised his head and glanced at him, "In exchange for salt? I don't know if this year's fair will be held!"
Yangjiu sat on the ground and looked at him, "Where is the big market in your area? I saw no one in the wooden shed on the mountain. Do you know which tribe built it?"
Shan Yang said slowly: "The wooden shack on the mountain belongs to the Yaoshan tribe, and the festival is held there. Come and take a look in autumn. Even if no one comes to change it, people can live there."
Yang Jiu looked at him in surprise, "Yaoshan tribe, I remember that the Yaoshan tribe was in Yaoshan, have they also migrated here?"
