238.Chapter 238: Mai
"Mother-in-law?" Qing called low. With a hint of melancholy in her eyes, in her impression, the shallow mother-in-law has always been strict, not to laugh, and even soft expressions rarely appear.
At this moment, he unexpectedly met the smiling face of the shallow mother-in-law.
Suddenly feeling uneasy, worried at the shallow mother-in-law, wanting to speak and stopping.
Mother-in-law waved her hand and said, "It's okay, when you have something in the future, ask Jiang Qing more." I'll just keep that medicinal herb forest in peace! ”
As soon as these words came out, Qing Yi's face changed in a moment, and he said eagerly: "What did Granny Shallow say, Jiang Qing is too young, and she has to worry about Mother-in-law Qian's guidance on many things!" ”
"Qing, you have done a good job over the years, you don't have to be presumptuous." Mother-in-law said with a smile and said, "At my age, it is time to enjoy the blessings as Jiang Qing said!" ”
Hearing this, Qing Song breathed a sigh of relief. When the shallow mother-in-law said this, she thought something was going to happen? was so frightened that even the side Sha and the others were terrified, and they were relieved after listening.
Letting go of the heart that was clenched in his throat, Qing asked, "Jiang Qing, what does this flax and cotton look like?" "Knowing that flax can be woven into linen, and cotton can keep warm in the dry season and harsh winters, I was suddenly excited.
Jiang Qing pondered, combined with Qi Min's skills and her knowledge of flax and cotton, and said: "The flax root system is well-developed, the stem is slender, green, smooth on the surface, waxy, and the stem has sparse or dense leaves. Hemp stems are light yellow and yellow-green, in addition, flax can be used in medicine. ”
Jiang Qing was very embarrassed to say this. After thinking for a while, he said: "If you encounter it outside, the whole leaf is thin waxy, without petioles and supporting leaves, and the lower leaves are alternate, and generally grow on the periphery of the stem according to the spiral. The lower part of the stem has smaller, spoon-shaped, larger middle, long spindle-shaped, and the upper part slender, lanceolate. Such similar rhizomes, bring them back to me for identification. As for cotton, it is easy to find in autumn, and its flowers are milky white, which you will recognize when you look at it. ”
Jiang Qing said that it was complicated, and everyone couldn't really hear it, so they kept the next few words in mind. It is to pull back all the plants with slender rhizomes.
"Jiang Qing, when will the iron ore we brought from the Forest of Death be able to smelt iron tools?" Wolf Bo asked, his eyes full of anticipation. I have seen the power of the clan's iron weapons, not to mention that the wolf is moved, and even the tribesmen are all itching.
Jiang Qing shook his head and said, "Iron mine, don't count on it for the time being. The tribe doesn't have anything, it's not easy to smelt iron, you should have tried iron ore in private, iron ore has a very high melting point, ordinary firewood can't melt it at all, let alone use it to make zuò iron......"
After hearing this, Wolf Bo sighed.
The people around him were also stunned, although they understood this truth, and it was false to really listen to Jiang Qing say it, saying that they were not disappointed at all.
"Iron tools can't be made now, and I didn't say they won't be able to do it in the future." Jiang Qing said with a smile.
"What do you mean?" Wolf Bo said excitedly.
Jiang Qing nodded and said, "After the tribe is built, there will always be a chance to drum out the iron tools, and now, the most important thing is to dig pottery kilns to fire pottery and build houses. There is a lot of rain in the summer, so the house needs to be built as soon as possible. ”
"Is that true?" At this moment, even the calm sacrificial Tianyun became excited.
"When did I lie to you." Jiang Qing was impatient and rolled her eyes towards Tianyun.
Suddenly, everyone let out a good-natured laugh.
Qing Da waved his hand and said, "Eat, tonight I will ask Sha to add food to everyone and cook chicken soup." "Such a fashionable word as adding food is naturally said by Jiang Qing. Learn to use it lively, and soon take it out to show off!
When they heard that they could drink delicious chicken soup in the evening, everyone became more and more happy.
One meal, everyone was satisfied. After the meal, there is no need to rush, everyone is busy.
Qing handed over the matter of the clearing to Sha and Lan Da, and led a group of people to the council room, ready to knead the mud embryo first. It takes at least seven to eight hours for the clay embryos to dry, which is kneaded by hand, fired in the evening, and harvested the next day.
This time, Kiyoshi plans to make some large pieces of pottery. Small pieces of pottery are not in a hurry, after all, small pieces of pottery are more suitable for every household, and large pieces of pottery are suitable for tribal sharing.
Nowadays, Taoyuan houses have not yet been built, and everyone eats a big pot of rice, and large pieces of pottery are applicable.
Jiang Qing was taken by Wolf Mo, and after dinner, he drank the decoction again and went to the council house. Looking at the majestic council house, Jiang Qing only felt red-faced, and it wouldn't be long before the clan could live in a bright house.
Because she didn't know what the temperature was like in Taoyuan in winter, Jiang Qing temporarily put aside the idea of building a fire kang, and only explained that when building a house, she would build the bedroom as spacious as possible, leaving enough space in the bedroom and kitchen.
In autumn, if the temperature is very cold, it is good to build the kang before the winter arrives.
Considering that there are no plastic pipes here, Jiang Qing asked people to find green bamboos and pick out those with large stems to make pipes. She really couldn't stand the tribe's habit of going to the toilet everywhere, and when she first arrived in Taoyuan, she repeatedly told Aunt Qing to remind everyone not to solve it anywhere.
I specially picked a place, and the simple thatched pit made of stones smelled a little worse. But she didn't have to worry about whether she would go out and poop, so she was going to connect all the tribe's pipes together and build a big hole.
In the future, if it is planted, these things are good fertilizers.
Everything had to be prepared little by little, but with everyone's support, Jiang Qing firmly believed that the clan would definitely build it well.
"It's not dry yet, Uncle Earth, their skills are so good!" Jiang Qing exclaimed. The wooden planks inlaid on the wall do not leave the slightest gap, which is very rare.
Wolf Mo asked, "Can you start laying stones?" ”
Looking at Wolf Mo's anxious appearance, Jiang Qing asked Wolf Mo to take him around the council house and said, "Let's build it!" Uncle Earth, their wooden shelves are sturdy, and now they can build stones. ”
As soon as Jiang Qing let go, Wolf Mo immediately told the earth to inform them, and prepared to build stones with thin mud.
In fact, Jiang Qing agreed to build stones for another reason, she faintly felt that today's wind was a little cooler than yesterday's, and there was more rain in summer. She had to beware of the possibility of rain, the roof of the house was paved with thatch, and she could not find anything suitable to shelter from the rain for the time being, so she could only use thatch.
If it rains, I wonder if it will leak?
After thinking deeply, Jiang Qing suddenly couldn't help but want to get out the pottery kiln, not only can the pottery be fired, but it will definitely be able to burn the tiles. Suddenly, Jiang Qing hurriedly said: "Wolf Mo, hurry up and call Fang Heyong, we will dig out the pottery kiln as much as possible, and we can still burn tiles when the time comes, I am always worried that this thatch can't cover the rain?" ”
"Tiles?" Wolf Mo wondered. After communicating with the earth, Mocha and the others soon arranged for people to start laying stones.
