Chapter 15 Hoarding
Pei Yao almost finished the work that a man could do in two or three days in almost a week. I'm quite proud to finish it, and we women can hold up half the sky!
Then she weaved two layers of thatched straw curtains into the bamboo shed to make the canopy, the straw curtains were tight and strong, and a thick layer of fish-phosphorus-like neat flexible leaves was sandwiched in the middle.
In the end, I rubbed the thick straw rope, wrapped the straw curtain on the roof of the shed with the bamboo frame a few times, and firmly fixed the straw curtain!
Call! It's finally done! Cheers and applause!
Although this shed is a little simpler, according to her vision, she wants to build a big bamboo house, but the situation is stronger than people, and she is powerless!
But put it like this first, after all, you can already store things underneath, and when you have time, you can slowly arm and strengthen this shed, and it is also possible to turn it into a bamboo house!
After a short period of fragility a few days ago, Pei Yao vented and made herself stronger!
It's not that she didn't consider moving to live near the river, but she has been to the market a few times, and what she heard and saw was not as beautiful as she imagined.
A slightly brighter two-room house with a small courtyard costs more than 10 taels of silver, and some poor families, the whole family is crammed into a grass house, and there are many people who have never built a stone tile house in their lives.
Even if some people have a good foundation, they have a few stone tile houses to live in, and they have a lot of strong labor at home, but it is impossible to eat chicken and fish every day like themselves.
It's that some big families don't have to worry about food and clothing, and they have family businesses and subordinates, but they also need to be able to keep it and be able to obey! Not counting the various door relationships that need to be dotted up and down, even the next person is a person, and there are not too many people who watch people put dishes on the plate!
Although Pei Yao has never been a master, she also knows that not everyone can do it, the time and place are favorable, and you have to add brains and luck! Just a hard-working and willing person who doesn't know how to be flexible, even the current people may not be able to do a good job! This is the world of the fittest!
Although Pei Yao is not stupid and willing to work, she is a person who is willing to use her hands rather than her brain, so what's wrong with being free and eating and drinking?!
Hehe, but there is a chance for her to be a master and live a life of rice worms who come to her clothes to reach out for food and open her mouth, Pei Yao said that she also wants to try it!
If you can't be a master for the time being, you still have to work, and when the shed is built, you have to stock up on firewood and grass.
Picking up branches and cutting dead trees, picking up mushrooms and harvesting fruits by the way, she is very busy every day.
Even Chubby Duoduo will help find eggs, check and check whether the sleeve has caught the prey, and he looks like a beagle!
The fat pheasants and hares that Pei Yao put on the sleeve are dried or smoked and stored in the dead, and the live ones are temporarily fed and saved to be sent to the game restaurant. When I came back, I hoarded grain at home, Li rice, grain, black flour, wheat flour, and the grain of this era was moved home.
Half of the cave is now surrounded by bamboo shelves against the rock wall on three sides, shelves firmly bound with vines, layer by layer, each layer is a compartment blocked by several thin bamboos, just like the kind of bamboo frame used to do outdoor work in the modern south.
The innermost shelves are full of all kinds of food, and the outer shelves are still empty, waiting to be filled!
Seeing that her food reserves are getting more and more, Pei Yao also feels less stressed, it was the end of summer when she first came, and it will be winter in a few months, and it is really not easy to go from having nothing to worrying about food and clothing.
Pei Yao is not slack off and diligent every day, so that she will have some family background. Tearful eyes......
However, sometimes when the abundant mountains are harvested in autumn, she sighs that she is fortunate not to wear it in winter! Amitabha! Amen! Thank you to all the gods for leaving a way to live!
One day, Pei Yao carried a rattan basket with Duoduo on her back and climbed the gentle slope mountain, although there are no tall trees and forests in the gentle slope mountain, there are many shrubs and weeds, and it is more difficult to explore, which is much more difficult to walk than the big forest in the north mountain, the forest is tall and the trees cover the sun, and the grass on the ground below does not grow much if it does not see the sun.
And some of Pei Yao's favorite mountain carrots are sand cucumbers, and bellflower are only available on this gently sloping mountain.
The road was difficult to drive and walk, so she used a firewood knife to selectively cut down some thatch, weeds, and shrubs, and without destroying the vegetation, she tried to cut down some shrubs that could be used for fire, and threw them in place to wait for the sun to dry before coming up and taking them home.
Suddenly, she saw a few purple five-petaled flowers on the grass in the middle of a small weed, and the leaves under the flowers were dark green in the shape of a wide sawtooth willow leaf, which was the bellflower.
If you take a closer look at this meadow, you will find that there are a lot of bellflower hidden in it, probably after the flowering period, so the flowers are few and difficult to find.
Platycodon can be stored for a long time when drying, when eating, you should soak it for a few days in advance, change the water a few times to cold stew, cold stew is also OK, cold salad is more delicious, you can also use it to stew rabbit meat, it is said that it is still a medicinal herb that can clear phlegm and moisten the lungs.
In my previous life, I also encountered a bellflower boom, a Korean export company came to the county to collect bellflowers, fresh on the line, and the price was also a lot.
In the countryside of the county, all the idle men, women and children went to the mountains and forests to dig bellflower and sell it for money, waiting for the Korean company to leave.
The bellflower in my hometown is almost extinct, and I haven't seen that beautiful purple flower in the forest for a few years.
Pei Yao is naturally surprised when she finds such a piece now, she can't dig much by herself, she has no burden at all, let's dig wildly!
