Chapter 879: Grinding Corn
Maya looked at Gavin's affectionate appearance and bowed her head shyly.
"Maya, you don't have to worry. I can do it alone, and I'll definitely let you eat rice next year. ”
Gavin clenched his fists and made up his mind with a decision.
"Okay, if you decide to plant rice. If you have time, follow the tribe's tiger beasts to open a wasteland first. ”
Anthony now knows the importance of food, so he is very supportive of letting the males farm.
In this way, everyone finished a lively dinner and tasted the barbecue made by Mi Qing, and the male also thought it was delicious.
But they go out hunting all day, and it is certainly not okay to let them come back and roast the meat patiently.
By the time everyone had finished dinner, it was already dark outside. After Alice and Shirley left one after another, after cleaning up the living room, Miqing found Anthony to communicate with him.
"Anthony, after our rice harvest this year, I'm going to take some out and make some for the little females to eat. ”
"Well, as long as the little females like it, the males must be keen on farming. ”
"Yes, there's wheat that can be ground into flour to make some pasta. ”
Speaking of wheat, Mi Qing thought of the stone mill that used to grind sweet potato chips. I forgot about the stone mill in the Tiger Clan before, and it seems that I still need to make another stone mill now.
Just do it, and get up early the next morning. Mi Qing asked Sebastian, who was resting at home, to dig a new stone mill for herself.
Sebastian never refused, and after feeding the rabbits, chickens, and wild boars, he went to the nearby mountains to look for stones.
Because at home, there are still corn cobs to break. The two brothers, Xia Rui and Xia Mo, stayed at home in the morning to help break the corn.
After Sebastian returned with a new piece of stone mill, he listened to Mi Qing's instructions to clean the entire stone mill and dry it under the eaves.
Although she now has rice at home, thinking that the tribe will plant rice on a large scale next year, Mi Qing is reluctant to eat white rice every day.
At noon, Mi Qing just scooped some rice to make rice porridge and fried a plate of green vegetables.
The amount of rice in a bowl made a thick rice porridge was enough for Mi Qing and the two little females to drink, and the two little females were also pleasantly surprised when they ate something other than meat and milk, fruit and juice for the first time.
Seeing that her two daughters like to drink rice porridge, Mi Qing's heart is also very happy.
She wants to give her daughters a good diet with meat and vegetables when they are young, and raise their bodies well.
When tidying up the room today, Mi Qing found Anthony and they had collected a whole stone jar of green vegetable seeds.
Now the tribe only has sweet potatoes and potatoes to grow, and the rest of the land is idle. You can grow some greens, just before the winter, you can eat another crop.
After lunch, the remaining corn cobs outside the house were completely broken, and the two brothers set off to hunt in the forest.
The cleaned stone mill was also dried, and Mi Qing and Sebastian cooperated with each other to start grinding noodles.
Sebastian pushed the stone mill, and Mi Qing poured the dried wheat into the stone mill.
A thick leather bag propped up underneath the stone mill, just enough to catch the flour seeping out of the stone mill.
Grinding flour is a manual job, even if Sebastian only grinds fifty pounds of wheat flour in one afternoon.
Mi Qing once again dried the ground wheat flour outside the house to prevent mildew from occurring due to moisture. Just wait until the wind picks up in the evening and then put it in the house.
