Chu Ying got up and rubbed the medicine a little better, split the bamboo with a stone axe, took a piece about the same height as Chu Ying, baked it in the middle part with fire, slowly bent it, then baked and bent, and finally used a strip of cloth to tie the bamboo that had been bent into a U-shape at the fold at the fold, and it became a clamp.

Chu Ying went to the bushes that had been burned yesterday, sandwiched the larger charcoal on the ground in the basket, and poured it into the back basket when the basket was full. The range of motion is not very large, and it is also possible to move more, which is much better than staying at home.

Chu Ying worked from morning to evening to finally put all the larger charcoal in the bushes into the back basket, Chu Ying looked at the bamboo shoots and bamboo whips all over the ground and the charcoal in the 5 back baskets, thinking that in winter you can chop less firewood, these charcoal is also a good fuel.

On the second day, Chu Ying peeled and washed the bamboo shoots, steamed the whole in a clay pot, and then took them out and put them in a clay pot, adding a layer of salt to a layer of bamboo shoots, and the amount of salt was one-fifth of the bamboo shoots.

Then wrap the mouth of the clay pot with softer bamboo shoot leaves, tie the mouth of the clay pot with hemp rope, and then smear a thick layer of wet mud on top of it and place it in the corner of the wall. In addition to a clay pot containing rice, Chu Ying made 8 of the other 9 into pickled bamboo shoots.

The remaining bamboo shoots, Chu Ying also washed and cut the finger-thick strips and steamed them in a clay pot. Chu Ying took out 5 bamboos in the yard, tied two crosses and inserted them into the soil, and did the same on the other side, and then put a bamboo pole in the middle, tied two long strips of cloth to the bamboo pole, tied the bamboo pole at the lower end of the strip, and finally added 3 bamboo poles under the bamboo pole above. In this way, you can use 3 more bamboo poles without having to build another shelf.

After boiling a part of the shredded bamboo shoots, take them out and dry them on the bamboo poles, and when they are all done in the afternoon, the rest of the bamboo shoots will be put away and eaten.

Chu Ying cooked rice and took the 5 made noose traps to explore the forest.

Strictly speaking, this is not a forest, because the trees in it are planted by species, not growing randomly, and some of the smaller trees are irregular, and they should have been left unmanaged for a long time after planting, and the trees fell fruit and grew on their own.

Soon, Chu Ying saw the stone pillar standing on the carved north stop. This should be the boundary of the north, and then Chu Ying found the boundary of the east, it can only be said that this grove is not very large, only about 2 acres, but the tree species planted are very practical, there are pine, chestnut, sumac and elm.

Chu Ying took some pine resin from pine trees and smelled it at the tip of her nose, looking at the pine towers that these pine trees fell without pine nuts, Chu Ying didn't plan to look for pine nuts on these towering pine trees, one came ten catties of pine towers, one catty of seeds, ten catties of sweat one tower, and secondly, the pine trees grew vertically, and the difficulty of climbing was high, and he didn't have the strength now.

It's almost winter, and the chestnuts on the ground have been dried, and there is some sound when you pick it up and shake it, but this discovery is already great news for Chu Ying, chestnuts are easier to get than pine nuts, and they can satisfy hunger in large quantities.

Chu Ying hurriedly went home and took the back basket and bamboo tongs, picked the chestnuts out of the fallen leaves and threw them into the back basket, if she found out earlier, she could still receive full chestnuts, but now the chestnuts are dried, and they are a lot lighter when they run out of moisture.

When you see so many chestnuts, can you sell some of them when you go into the city, and if you can't sell them, it is also a good choice to buy back a small grinding disc to grind the chestnuts into powder. Chu Ying walked out of the grove with a basket of chestnuts on her back.

Walking through the scorched bushes with about 4 acres of land, Chu Ying thought that it was really difficult to predict that there would be these economic trees in it from the bushes before, because the bushes were too big, and these trees were also integrated with the trees in the back mountain, so they couldn't see the difference.

Chu Ying thought that this must be the original owner's father's plan for the original owner, because those trees were at least 10 years old, and they also planted such a large bush to hide, it was really well-intentioned, although Chu Ying had no contact with the original owner's parents, but still felt their strong love.

Mu Nu Qian, no murder years, these trees are the last guarantee given to the original owner by the original owner's father. If it weren't for this scorched bush, the uncle in Brother Wang's mouth would never give this piece of land to Chu Ying.

Chu Ying looked at the firewood and charcoal piled up at home and the chestnuts she had just carried back, and she was almost out of place. It seems that I have to expand it, but I don't have any extra money, so I can only build one on my own.

Chu Ying smashed the chestnut with a stone axe and put it in the clay pot, often saying, "The pear in August, the hawthorn in September, and the chestnut in October laugh haha." "Chestnuts can be eaten raw, cooked, and dished, and the best thing is to fry chestnuts with sugar, but I don't have the extra money to buy sugar to satisfy my appetite.

It can only be eaten in the most economical way, which is to cook it, and the chestnut itself is rich in protein, and it is sweet to chew for a long time. Chu Ying was very happy that she had this king of dried fruits in addition to rice, and she was originally worried that the food would not be enough to eat until the beginning of spring, but now it seems that it should be possible.

But I really don't have a place to put the chestnuts I picked up at that time, and when I go to Lu Meng's house to help come back, I have to put the expansion and chestnut picking on the top of the agenda, because there are squirrels in the grove that grab food with me, and if it rains, the chestnuts will be broken on the ground for a long time, and some of the chestnuts that I just smashed are already broken.

Chu Ying herself didn't like this kind of activity when she was a child, but now she feels very lively and popular, it is estimated that she has lived alone for a long time, and there are no familiar neighbors around, except for Brother Wang.

"Let's push together, lift." Chu Ying watched as several big men lifted a large pig out of the barrel and shaved off the pig's hair with a knife.

"Uncle Han, are you okay?" Lu Meng helped a big man with his hands covering his fingers out of the house.

The big man had a bulging belly and looked at his wrapped fingers with some pain. "This pig is too good at making trouble, and the harmful Han Da has cut his hand, but fortunately it hasn't been broken, otherwise in the future, the pig killing banquet can only find Sun Da from the next village."

"yes, yes."

Although Han Da's hand was cut, he still picked up the knife and prepared to disembowel, but his movements were much slower, and he had to take a break after cutting for a while. "When will I be able to eat this meal?" Hey, this pig is too strong. "

"Han Da, let me help you, your hands are still bleeding." Chu Ying stood in front of a group of strong men and shouted loudly. The people who washed the dishes, washed the dishes, and moved the low table all looked at the little Chu Ying.

"Whose child, hurry up and take it away." Chu Ying looked at Han Da's fingers, it should have been not lightly injured, otherwise this man would not have been embarrassed.

Chu Ying stood on the low table, picked up the kitchen knife and attacked the pig who had not been disemboweled, because the pig's blood had been almost released, Chu Ying took out the internal organs step by step and handed them to the vegetable washer. Then let a few strong men rinse the pig's body with water and put it on a wooden plank.

Then Chu Ying began to pick the pork, quickly removed the pig's head and four legs, cut the meat into long strips, and pierced a half-piercing slit at the end of each knife to facilitate Lu Meng and them to make cured meat

Han Da looked at Chu Ying, who was about the same length as a pig in front of him, standing on the wooden plank, and decomposed the pig in a good way. And the movements are smooth, without brute force, and the knife is in the gap between the pork bones, although it is not as easy as himself, but it is not easy for this little girl to do this.

"Whose child is this? It's a lot of courage. Chu Ying wiped her hands with the face towel that Lu Meng handed over. I'm Chu Ying. Han Da, this is your knife. Chu Ying obediently sat in the women's room washing the vegetables and helped wash the vegetables.
