Everyone shook their heads thinking about it. The Yaoshan tribe reduced the salt to a sheepskin and a tube. Now sheepskins are not hard to find. There are sheep in the pen of their own tribe. If they want to exchange salt for salt, they will kill a sheep, including the meat.
You can exchange the skin for three bamboo tubes of salt!
If you don’t have the time to look for it, you might as well dig more ground to grow vegetables, or go into the mountains to collect more food!
After the house on the mountain was built, Mu Feng released Da Mao and Meng's gang from the cave.
A group of people came out, and Aguo cried to them, saying that the nearby tribes despised them for stealing, ignored them, and even looked down on them.
Meng didn't want to move people away from here, so he and Big Cat went to a place farther away from everyone and chose a new piece of land as a place to live.
The autumn harvest of the Yaoshan tribe has come to an end. The weather has been good this year, and there has been a bumper harvest of millet, pumpkins, and various beans.
The extra pumpkin seedlings planted under the wall of the drying field also climbed along the wall to the roof, and the flat roof was also covered with pumpkins.
The caves on the top of the mountain were filled with the winter melons and pumpkins that were taken back, and there were also quite a few in the cellars at the bottom of the mountain.
The warehouse is filled with millet, as well as pinto beans, adzuki beans, mung beans, and peas. Everyone thinks that they will dig cellars and build warehouses again next year.
After returning from the harvest in the tribe, Shan Amu took the women of the collection team into the mountains to collect nuts such as chestnuts and green barberries.
Yao Xiaoqing looked at the ears of sorghum that were drying in the dam, and said to Jiang Li with a smile: "I think these ears should be sorghum that has not yet matured."
"It's really sorghum. If you have more of it in the future, you can use it to make wine." When Jiang Li said this, he thought of something, "I remember there is a field of wild grapes in the canyon opposite. I will take people there to pick them and make some of the wine you mentioned."
Yao Xiaoqing glanced at him with a smile, "You must be a wine bug!" She thought that if the food in the tribe hadn't been too little, she would have tried to brew some liquor, not to mention drinking.
It is also good for cleaning wounds and sterilizing them.
Jiang Li smiled and held her hand, "A bit greedy for wine, but not as serious as a wine bug." He blushed and took out a bracelet from his pocket and put it in her hand, "Xiaoqing, I use nanmu
Grinding, do you like it?"
Yao Xiaoqing looked at the delicate, smooth nanmu bracelet and nodded happily, "I like it. Why didn't I know when you polished it?"
Seeing that she was happy, Jiang Li was also very happy, "I polished it when I had nothing to do. When I come back from the other side, I will go into the mountains to cut down nanmu to make furniture."
Yao Xiaoqing nodded, "There is still sugar in the tribe, you can go if you want! I have to take advantage of the bean harvest to brew more soy sauce, and the bean paste will come out, so that I don't have to brew it every year.
We also need to quickly plant a batch of vegetables, radishes, pickled sauerkraut, dried radishes, and dried vegetables while the weather is warm."
"Then I will take people into the mountain tomorrow and be back in two or three days," Jiang Li said.
Early the next morning, Jiang Li led a dozen warriors across the river to the mountain opposite.
Yao Xiaoqing led people to the fields to pick red vitex branches, clean them and chop them with a spatula to brew bean paste. The prepared sauce jars were neatly lined up at the foot of the mountain.
After the bean paste was ready, Jiang Li led his men to carry the grapes back, and also brought back news of the rich wild animals in the mountains opposite.
After everyone discussed it, they prepared to go into the mountains to hunt.
Mu Feng went to Wu Xian and called You Lu, and the men of the two tribes gathered at the river. Jiang Li and A Genbo took them to the other side of the river and went into the mountains to hunt.
Yao Xiaoqing led others to pick out the grapes from the basket, and smelled the sweet fragrance of grapes. Eating one would make your teeth sore.
Yun Amu was a little worried, "Xiaoqing, can food made from such fruits be eaten?"
"Yes!" Yao Xiaoqing said with a smile, "It goes through fermentation just like our brewing of soy sauce. Wash it, crush it and add sugar. When it's brewed, do you guys want to try it?"
After hearing this, Hua laughed and said, "Wouldn't it be delicious if it was sweetened with sugar?"
Yao Xiaoqing pursed her lips and said with a smile: "That's not necessarily the case. Some people are just not used to drinking."
Yun Amu nodded, "Yes! Just like some people in the tribe like spicy food, some like sweet food, everyone's taste is different."
"Emma is right, my Yaya likes spicy food, and the younger one likes sweet food."
Yao Xiaoqing led people to clean it, pick off the bad fruits, crush them into jars, add an appropriate amount of sugar, seal the mouth of the jar and ferment.
Yun Amu thought of last year's persimmons and said, "Xiao Qing, let's make some more persimmons this year! Everyone liked them last year."
Yao Xiaoqing thought of the canned fruit, "Okay! It's a good day this year. Let's go into the mountains to pick some plows and bring back the oranges to make sugar water."
Hua smiled and said: "Then we have a lot to do this year, including making soy sauce!"
Yao Xiaoqing nodded, "When the wine is ready, let's start making soy sauce."
After a busy afternoon, I put all the grapes into jars and moved them into the warehouse to be filtered after fermentation.
After several days of exposure to the sun, the bean poles in the drying field have cracked the bean pods. If they are beaten with a flail or a wooden stick, the beans will fall off.
Dry the beans, sort out the rotten beans, clean them, and start cooking the beans to make bean koji.
During the process of making beans, the hunting team returned to the tribe, brought back a lot of dried meat and animal skins, and then went into the mountains again.
Yao Xiaoqing and his people made all the persimmons they picked into persimmon cakes.
Peel and core pears and oranges, put them into a pot and boil them. After boiling, add sugar, let them cool, scoop them into jars, seal them, and store them in a cellar.
At this time, the wine was also brewed. Yao Xiaoqing took a few flowers and filtered the peels with gauze, put them into jars and put them in the cellar for fermentation again.
As soon as a few people came out of the cellar, Ah Chong took Ah Hei and others to the canteen carrying bowls, plates, and pottery bowls made of white clay. These porcelains made of white clay are exquisite and beautiful, and they look great when placed on the table.
The yellow-brown clay pottery bowls and pottery bowls were inferior.
Some of the bowls and plates were painted with ears of grain, others with pea flowers, and beans. The patterns were simple and exaggerated, and they seemed to be in line with the aesthetics of people of this era.
Dong Xue and Hua pointed at Wheat Flower's bowl, "I like Wheat Flower's bowl."
Yun Amu and others also nodded, "The wheat flowers are beautiful."
Ah Chong smiled proudly, "I made the wheat flowers, Ada made the bean flowers, and Ah Shui painted the pea flowers."
Yao Xiaoqing also thought that the wheat ear flowers were beautiful, and gave Ah Chong a thumbs up: "Uncle Chong's skills are getting better and better, so I will put this set of wheat ear flower bowls away for sacrifice on the winter solstice."
Ah Chong smiled with a smile on his face, "Xiao Qing, we also made some cups you mentioned, and they will be out of the kiln in two days."
Yao Xiaoqing said: "You can do whatever you want. Next year we will make a batch of these bowls and pottery bowls and exchange them at the market."
"Hey!" Ah Chong happily led the people away.
