Yao Xiaoqing thought for a while and said, "Father, the tribesmen who just arrived don't understand the tribe's farming methods, fishing methods, and methods of drying food. Shui Bo, Shan Amu and the others are hard-working and diligent.
Let’s bring them up to manage the new arrivals.”
Yao Hu nodded, "Come and listen to me, father."
Yao Xiaoqing sorted out her thoughts and said: "Let's divide them into several teams according to the number of people. The women's side is divided into five teams. The third team goes out to collect and look for new seeds. The collectors are composed of Dashu Amu, Shan A
Mu, Leopard Mu leads the way.”
"The two teams stayed at home to cook food, dry it, make pottery pots, and farm the land, led by Yun Amu and Hua. After eating food at night, it was the same as before. Everyone made straw sandals and sewed dresses together.
"
Yao Hu followed Yao Xiaoqing's idea, "My father divided the old uncle into two teams, led by Ah Chong and Ah Shui. They were responsible for opening the land, cultivating the land, skinning and roasting the prey, and each took turns to go up the mountain to watch. At the moment, there are still
To build a house, my father will arrange the warriors who go out to hunt every day."
Yao Xiaoqing continued: "We still need to build a canteen specifically for cooking food, and build a new stove. We also need to build a pen for feeding livestock, so that we can hunt ducks, pheasants, pigs, cows, sheep, etc. and bring them home to raise them."
Yao Hu nodded in agreement, "Ducks, pheasants, and sheep are easy to catch, but pigs, cattle, and sheep are difficult to catch. Let's build the livestock pens you mentioned first, and the rest will come later."
"Okay, let's decide on the location of the pen tomorrow." Yao Xiaoqing suddenly thought of the rising price of salt in the Wuxian tribe. "Father, there are more and more people in the tribe, so we must stock up on salt stones."
"You are still thoughtful. Let your brother take people to collect salt stones tomorrow and come back to store them for several rooms." Yao Hu said proudly.
"The house is built and we have enough manpower. When next spring comes, we will plant all the seeds at home, and we will harvest food in the autumn." Yao Xiaoqing confidently imagined planting the fields, and everyone
The scene of going to the fields to harvest, "Father, there will be a day when we don't have enough food to eat."
Thinking that he didn't even have food to eat when he came here, and that today the house is full of food and there is endless salt, all these are Xiaoqing's contribution, he believes that she can do it.
Yao Hu nodded solemnly, "Father will do whatever you tell me. I believe you can do it."
"Thank you, Father."
Yao Xiaoqing was glad that the era she traveled through was an era that worshiped the strong. There was also Yao Hu, a father who was broad-minded and truly loved his children, and a brother who always did the right thing with a younger sister.
Only a pseudo-child like her could show what she learned in her previous life without any scruples. If it were a mean person, she would have run away to start her own business, or she would have been burned to death as a monster.
At dusk, a group of hunters from Zhe and Qinggang returned. Seven or eight strong men carried a large ox, and some carried goats, pheasants, roe deer and deer on their backs.
As soon as a group of people entered the small courtyard gate at the foot of the mountain, Pig shouted loudly, "Xiaoqing, come and see, we have hunted a big yellow ox."
Qinggang smiled and said: "Hey, Xiaoqing asked people to open the courtyard door in advance, and we just entered the courtyard. Xiaoqing won't hear you even if you shout until your throat is broken."
A dozen warriors went out to hunt and brought back several times more prey than just a few people went out to hunt before. Even with more people, they dared to hunt large beasts.
"Hehe~," Zhi giggled happily, "This is the first time we have hunted such a big ox."
Spear smiled and said: "The leader and Muba should go back to the tribe today."
Qinggang nodded, "We have been here two days, they should arrive today."
As soon as a group of people entered the courtyard, Shan'am shouted in surprise, "Look! They have hunted a big ox."
The women who were gathering wild vegetables and potatoes all raised their heads and gathered around them excitedly, smiling proudly at them.
Yao Xiaoqing came out of the cave and saw the big ox and the proud pig on the ground, and exclaimed: "Wow! The first great harvest in history!"
She said proudly: "Xiaoqing, this ox is enough for us to eat for half a month. You have to make something delicious for me to eat."
"Hey!" Mao laughed, "You can't eat alone, we have to eat too."
Suddenly Zhi saw the women sitting there choosing vegetables, pointed at them and shouted: "Xiaoqing, are these skinny women picked by Mu Feng?"
"You brat," Yun Amu smiled and walked up to him and patted him, "What are you afraid of if you lose weight? You will gain weight if you keep it up."
"Oh! Mu Feng's look," Zhi looked disgusted, "If I had known, I would have gone with you."
Seeing his disappointed look, everyone laughed happily when they remembered that he had told Mu Feng to pick strong women, but all of them were skinny. The new woman lowered her head in embarrassment.
"Pah!" Yun Amu slapped him hard, "Go away and go see the leader quickly."
"Oh~! Let's go see the leader!" A group of men walked down the mountain arm in arm.
Everyone looked at the prey in the yard, and Shan'am said: "Let's pick up the pheasants, turtle doves, and hares, and wait for Ashui and the others to get the big ones when they come back."
Some of the women were choosing vegetables and some were preparing wild animals. Yao Xiaoqing asked Shan Amu to clean the internal organs of pheasants and turtledoves, and stir-fry a large pot of pickled cabbage and fried chicken offal.
The hare meat is cooked, shredded, and mixed with some chili peppers, leek leaves, and a sweet and sour red fruit that Shan Amu and the others found these days.
Cook the taro, pour it into cold water to cool it down, tear off the skin, crush it and put it in a pottery pot, add the bones and scald it into the pot and cook until it becomes a taro paste. Add some wild vegetables and finely chopped garlic leaves.
The largest jar was filled with seven jars, enough to feed dozens of people.
After a while, Yaohu and Mufeng came back. When everyone saw the prey they had hunted, they all praised it. The pig showed off again with its tail raised.
At night, after eating the food, the new women rushed to work diligently. Ah Shui and others were busy peeling and roasting the prey that Pig, Qinggang and others had brought back.
Yao Xiaoqing asked Yao Hu and the others to pull out the beef tendons and deer tendons, tie them straight on bamboo slices and dry them in a dustpan. He then took Yun Amu and the others to clean the tripe and intestines and salt them with the beef bones.
Stew it slowly in a water tank and eat it. Add mutton bones, deer bones and offal and marinate it in two tanks.
Looking at the beef intestines, tripe, butter, and thinking of roast beef, beef hot pot, and beef noodles, Yao Xiaoqing's mouth almost watered.
Set the beef head and hooves on fire to burn off the fine hair on them, then scrape them clean with a stone knife, put them in a large pot and blanch them, add bay leaves and wild garlic and stew them in the pot, and you can eat them the next day.
He skinned and deboned the prey, cut it into pieces and started roasting it. Yao Hu asked everyone to calm down and loudly told them what he and Yao Xiaoqing had discussed. His focus was still on having babies.
"When the house is built, everyone will have a separate house. You can find the person you like to pair up with, and everyone should work harder to have more babies."
