Chapter 5 Waterholes
Back at her 'home', Pei Yao set up a stone stove outside the entrance of the cave, boiled a pot of hot water first, and then killed the pheasant with a sharp stone chip.
The blood of the pheasant was not wasted, and it was all wrapped in a large leaf that looked like a taro leaf, and when there was no salt, the blood of the animal was very precious!
Remove the chicken feathers, put the chicken liver and chicken Zhen out of the slaughter, and chop three mushrooms and put them in the chicken blood and mix well.
Pei Yao used the fat oil in the chicken belly to burn and wipe it in a stone pot to let the wall of the pot absorb the oil and water, and then pour in the chicken blood paste and turn it.
It didn't take long for a unique fragrance of chicken blood to float out, and Pei Yao's stomach also screamed with the bones, and finally used small roots of garlic (also called small roots of vegetables The root is round, and the taste of shallots is the same) to stir the pot and it is ready.
I took the pot and let it cool on the side, and then went to the foot of the opposite mountain and dug up a handful of small garlic by the way, which was everywhere in the col.
The main thing is to dig a large piece of sticky yellow mud, mix it with water, spread it on the big taro leaves, and wash some fresh big bamboo leaves and spread it on the yellow mud. She peeled the mushrooms, washed garlic, and eggs that she hadn't eaten in the morning, stuffed them into the chicken's belly, and finally put them on bamboo leaves, wrapped them in mud, threw them in the middle of the fire, and buried them over a charcoal fire.
It didn't take a while to deal with this chicken, look at the chicken blood paste in the pot, the temperature is just right.
Pei Yao got a pair of chopsticks and tasted the chicken blood paste, hmm! It is very fragrant, the taste of the chicken gizzard is bouncy, and occasionally a piece of chicken liver is particularly fragrant!
Although the chicken blood is not extra salted, it is a little light, but for Pei Yao, who has not eaten salt for two days, this is already very delicious!
Looking clean like the bottom of the pot that has been licked, she is a little sweaty, and her appearance is too ugly!
Looking at the hot sun at noon, Pei Yao touched the pool water, half of it was warm, and half of the pool water imported from the creek was cold.
Pei Yao made a simple rake with bamboo branches, waded into the waist-deep pool water barefoot in a middle coat and pants, raked out the dead branches and rotten leaves in the pool and piled them on the shore.
The pool may have been drained by an underground undercurrent channel, and soon the surface of the water will be crystal clear, and through the clear water, you can see that the bottom of the water is shale-like sheet rock, and there are small cracks in the rock that seep water into the ground, and you can see that the dust is sucked into the cracks and disappears.
It is no wonder that the murmuring of the stream continues to flow into the clear pool, but the pool is not overflowing. It's a natural swimming pool!
Spreading her hair, Pei Yao jumped into the waterhole with her clothes closed, swam back and forth comfortably twice, and played with the fish in the water for a while, then approached the grass on the shore, hid in the water and stripped naked.
She squatted in the water and wrung out the changed clothes and tights with plant ash, dried them on the hot stones on the shore, washed her hair and body with plant ash, and touched the fish in the water.
It's not that you want to eat it, but it's because of the urgency of food shortage, and you want to stock up on food and save it for when you don't have a good crop. It is estimated that there are no natural enemies to catch the fish now, and after a long time of freedom, it will be stupid and many, and when the clothes are dried in a short time, 4.5 feet long grass carp have been caught!
Pei Yao climbed ashore with a square towel torn off with a chest cloth, dried her body, and put on hot, sun-filled clothes.
She killed the grass carp she touched, cut two pieces from the middle, and dried the fish directly on the stone.
Looking at the large pile of rattan chopped back in the morning, Pei Yao was not idle, and made baskets and baskets.
The vines are soft, and they are more convenient than the willow strips that I and my grandmother weave, after all, the willow strips are easy to break in the weaving, and the birch branches are also easy to use, but Pei Yao didn't find them, but there are a lot of such easy-to-use vines.
Pei Yao was quick to do so, and in two hours, she made up the basket and put it in a ventilated place in the shade to dry.
Then he found six sturdy wooden sticks with thick wrists, and the long sticks were burned short with fire to form a rectangular 'Tian' character less than two meters high.
Use the remaining vines to weave a rattan gate, the rattan on the rattan Pei Yao as tightly as possible, such a door can be strong and durable, do a good job of this big project It's almost dark, the rattan door is lifted to the entrance of the cave to compare, just leave a piece above the hole that is not blocked, so that the lighting is no problem.
Taking advantage of the fact that the sky was not yet dark, Wu Peiyao moved the fire to the cave and threw a handful of wormwood into the fire to smoke mosquitoes. However, with two sturdy wooden sticks, the rattan door was firmly pressed against the entrance of the hole from the inside, and now it was much safer.
On the fire, there is still a warm and juicy mud-roasted bamboo leaf chicken, with mushrooms full of gravy, this delicious dinner will make Pei Yao, who has long been hungry, eat with a mouth full of oil, and it is extremely satisfying!
Because the meat of pheasants is not as fat as domestic chickens at all, the cooked pheasants can weigh about a catty, and in addition to the chicken rack, Pei Yao actually ate all the chicken, eggs, and mushrooms, and touched the bulging belly Pei Yao thought, just have another cup of juice!
