"It went to play for a few days and then came back."
Yao Xiaoqing thought to herself: No wonder he didn't see Golden Retriever all morning. He followed Yaya.
Shan'am dug out a few thick stick-like white rhizomes from his backpack and handed them to her, "Xiaoqing, look at what these are?"
Yao Xiaoqing took it and took a look, feeling happy: Haha! It turns out to be a radish. I didn’t expect to find radish here.
Seeing her happy expression, Shan'am knew that he had found something good. He asked with a smile: "Xiao Qing, can this thing be planted? Is it possible to dig up a few plants and plant them in the ground this afternoon?"
"Yes, the ground is already full of plants. I need to open another field next to it and plant it. After it blooms, I will collect the seeds. It's best to eat radish stewed with mutton in winter."
"Also, the vegetables and millet seeds in the ground have grown. We need to pull out the weeds, sprinkle some plant ash and apply some fertilizer."
Seeing her happy look, Shan'am was also very happy and said, "Okay, you teach us."
Taro Zi smiled at the side and asked: "Qingsha, can you teach us?"
"Okay! I'll teach you whatever you want to learn. When you learn it, I'll cross my legs and bask in the sun."
Everyone laughed.
Grandma put down her backpack, looked around but couldn't find Mu Ya, and asked anxiously: "Qing Wu, have you seen Mu Ya?"
Yao Xiaoqing said: "I'm sleeping under the tree outside the fence!"
Grandma smiled sheepishly at Yao Xiaoqing and ran down the mountain.
Shan Amu angrily said to Yao Xiaoqing: "Xiaoqing, Mu Ya..."
Yao Xiaoqing raised her hand to stop her, "Emma, you don't have to be familiar with her. If she still behaves like this in a while, you will divide into groups to collect food."
Shan'am nodded and said, "I understand. I'll wash the vegetables and make the dry vegetables you mentioned."
Grandma stood there and looked at Muya who was sleeping soundly against the tree trunk. She felt that she was too embarrassing for her father. How should the people of the Yaoshan tribe treat him? The daughter of the leader of the tribe was so big that even Yaya couldn't
Not as good as.
Mu Ya felt the gaze on her and opened her eyes to see Da Amu staring at her.
He shouted aggrievedly: "Big Eminem, I..."
Big Amu looked at her and scolded in a low voice: "Muya, you pushed the wolf to the ground and left. Don't you know that his legs can't walk?"
Mu Ya muttered, "I didn't do it on purpose. Who asked him to pull me?"
Grandma looked at her, jumped up in anger, and growled angrily: "Why are you so disobedient? Do you think that when your father was around, everyone would give in to you? Didn't you see it? Muba and the others
I respect Yao Hu more than your father, so please be more honest!"
Mu Ya also stamped her feet and growled, "Why am I dishonest? When I go to work, they dislike me for not doing a good job. That Yao Xiaoqing isn't just sitting on the mountain playing and doing nothing, why don't they talk about her?"
"
Spear on the tree was dumbfounded when he heard this: When did we respect Leader Yaohu more than Leader Yang? And Qingsha has been busy all morning. Which of your eyes can see people doing nothing? It's really upside down.
black and white.
The big mom poked her forehead and said through gritted teeth: "You should be more honest from now on! If you act like this, sooner or later I will be kicked out by you!"
Mu Ya covered her forehead and looked at Big Amu, "If I'm not honest, just drive me away! Let's go to other tribes."
"Go to other tribes," Big Amu looked at her sternly, "Think about the women in the Sishan tribe, what do they eat all day long? In other tribes, just like you, they still want to have food.
And I’ll keep you fed until you’re dreaming!”
After saying that, Big Amu turned around and left, leaving Mu Ya standing there blankly, thinking back to how those women lived in the Sishan tribe.
At this time, all the men working down the mountain returned to the yard. Muba and Xiongniu carried a basket of fish and placed it in front of Yao Xiaoqing, "Xiaoqing, look at so many fish, what should we eat?"
Yao Xiaoqing looked at the fish in the basket, which weighed as little as five or six pounds each, and picked out the ways to eat it that could be cooked here, and said: "Dry the fish, chop the fish balls, boil the fish soup, grill the fish, what do you want to eat?
.”
Xiong Niu said from the side: "Everything except grilled fish is fine."
"Okay, you can chop the fish balls you get back in the afternoon and eat them, then pickle them and dry them in the sun."
Hua came over with a bone knife and said, "Xiaoqing, I'll kill the fish, but the fish fat should be saved, right?"
Yao Xiaoqing nodded, "Yeah! Let's kill two more together."
Yuzi and another woman came over with stone knives and killed the fish with Hua.
Yaohu stood under the tree and said to the spear: "Come down, the Shenmu tribe has already arrived..."
Spear came down from the tree and said with a smile: "They came from the river, no wonder I didn't see them."
The male bull smiled and said: "I think they were scared by Xiaoqing and Pig hiding in the tree."
Mao smiled and nodded, "Yes, they are afraid."
Yao Hu told Yao Xiaoqing about the battle between the Shenmu tribe, "Xiaoqing, what do you think they will find to restrain bows and arrows?"
Yao Xiaoqing glanced at the bamboo basket in the yard and whispered: "Father, if they make something to restrain bows and arrows, the damage done to them by the arrows will be greatly reduced. Fighting at close range will still have to rely on fists and kicks."
Kung Fu and sharp weapons.”
Yao Hu followed her gaze and saw Ruizhuan. After thinking about it for a moment, he understood what Yao Xiaoqing meant. It turned out that it was so easy to restrain the bow and arrow.
"I understand. I will ask everyone to make more bone knives and go into the mountains to hunt and fight wild beasts to make everyone braver."
"My father is right." Yao Xiaoqing took a look at the piles of stones in the open space at the foot of the mountain, and felt that adding the two uncles from the Sishan tribe, leaving two more people at home would be enough.
"You leave two people at home to build the wall, and you take turns taking the other people out to hunt, and you also need to collect more salt stones."
Yao Hu looked at her guiltily, "Okay, just teach them how to do it. Don't tire yourself out."
Yao Xiaoqing nodded, "Don't worry!" The father and daughter discussed it, and Yao Hu went to arrange manpower.
Yao Xiaoqing took the flowers and taro seeds to chop off the heads of the killed fish, made a few deep cuts into the thick parts of the fish, soaked them in warm salt water, and dried them in the sun after a few hours.
When it was time to eat, Muba came up from the mountain with Muya, and everyone pretended not to notice and were busy with their work.
After lunch, Yao Xiaoqing tied the fish with a string and hung it on a bamboo pole. He left Hua Hua to bake earthen pots at home, and asked Yun Amu to take Da Amu and two women to look for mushrooms in the forest.
, she carried the engineering shovel and Shan Amu taro and Ah Su and walked towards the place where radishes and pea flowers were gathered.
Along the way, I picked some hemostatic grass, motherwort, and gray bags. It took me almost two hours to reach the place where the radishes grew.
There is a piece of land as big as a large vegetable table. Most of the radishes have bolted and have small white flowers.
Yao Xiaoqing gently stroked the small white flower and said to Shan Amu: "Amu, come and have a look in a few days. When the seeds mature, we will cut them back and put them away."
Shan'am nodded, "Okay, I'll cut some branches to block it so that it won't be destroyed by wild animals."
