Where there has not been a lot of human exploitation, there are a lot of good things to be found!! At least once you find something like a gemstone here, it will definitely not be a glass product, so the quality or something can be greatly guaranteed.
After accepting the piece of amber given to him on Friday and the Yuhua Stone, which were also very peculiar patterns, Ma Xiaoxiao went to the creek to search for treasures again with great ambition.
This time, he didn't wait for Ma Xiaoxiao to fill the small half basket and sell the prey to make money, so he came over.
"Xiaoxiao, why did you and Friday come here to pick up rocks?" Squatting on the shore, Xiao Hei said to Ma Xiaoxiao not far away.
"I'm going to use these stones to pave a path out of the yard, and since you're here, go to the ox cart and get a basket, and we'll pick it up together." Ma Xiaoxiao straightened up and said to Xiao Hei, who was squatting on a big rock.
"Okay." Xiao Hei replied, and went down to the stream happily with the basket on his back.
"Pick up this type in my back basket, by the way, if you want to see that kind of bright color, such as red, white, green, blue, transparent, in short, no matter what color it is, as long as it is bright and special, no matter how big or small, you will pick it up for me, you know?" Ma Xiaoxiao instructed Xiao Hei, who waded to her side with a basket on his back.
After listening to Ma Xiaoxiao's words, Xiao Hei nodded happily, and next to Ma Xiaoxiao lowered his head and began to rummage in the stream.
"You go over there, don't be here, everyone disperse a little, then the harvest will be bigger." Ma Xiaoxiao pushed Xiao Hei's body with his hand and said.
"Oh." Xiao Hei reluctantly sighed, and rubbed towards the distance not far away.
When it was close to noon, seeing the piles of pebbles on the car board, Ma Xiaoxiao finally decided to have a picnic on the spot and then went home.
Ma Xiaoxiao asked Xiao Hei to go fishing in the creek, and after Xiao Hei obediently ran to fish, she sat on the ground and began to count the various trophies collected by several people, that is, all kinds of colorful stones that could be used as handicrafts or most likely as rough gemstones, and as for Friday, he himself took the volunteer coachman to the grove to collect firewood and light a bonfire.
Piling a small pile of colored stones in front of him into the back basket, Ma Xiaoxiao found that only these individually selected stones could almost fill most of the back basket.
Not...... Maybe she should make a small garden in the yard, and build a small round pond in the middle of the garden, and then process these stones and put them into the small pool, well, and then raise a few brightly colored fish and put a few aquatic plants or something, so that she can have a small garden and a large fish tank at the same time...... By the way, it's better to plant a few more fruit trees and make a swing frame...... Ma Xiaoxiao sat on the ground holding the basket, half-squinting his eyes, and fantasized with an intoxicated expression about what his new home would look like after it was completed.
When the bonfire was built, Xiao Hei, who had gone out fishing, also came back, but in addition to the few strings of fish that Xiao Hei was carrying in his hand, he also dragged back a dead anaconda with a body thicker than Ma Xiaoxiao's waist, that is, a giant python that lived in the water.
"Didn't I tell you to go fishing? How did you run to catch a snake? Ma Xiaoxiao pointed to the anaconda dragged back by Xiao Hei and said.
"The fish in the shallow water is too small, so I went to the deep water, and this snake was accidentally stepped on by me, so I got it back, Xiaoxiao, if you don't like snake meat, then I'll go and throw it away now." When Xiao Hei said this, he didn't put down the anaconda on his shoulder.
"Don't lose it, go, I'll go with you over there to clean up these fish and this snake, and when I go back, take the snake skin and the rest of the snake meat and snake gall to the market and sell it." Ma Xiaoxiao got up from the ground and walked to Xiao Hei's side and said.
I have to say that Xiao Hei's freely retractable sharp nails are much more efficient than Ma Xiaoxiao's work with a knife, so after Ma Xiaoxiao found that the speed at which she scraped the scales with a knife was completely incomparable with Xiao Hei, she simply handed over the work of scraping the scales of the fish to Xiao Hei, and she was only responsible for cleaning the fish with stream water and stringing these fish with branches prepared in advance.
After considering the amount of food for several people, without waiting for all the fish to be processed, Ma Xiaoxiao took the part of the fish that had been processed and returned to the campfire.
Motioning to Friday and the volunteer coachman, to divide the campfire into two piles, one round and one long.
The fish are inserted vertically on both sides of the long bonfire, so that the side of the fish facing the bonfire can be slowly smoked and cooked, instead of people holding branches in their hands to turn the fish back and forth above the bonfire, although this method is slower than roasting directly on an open fire, but in fact the shipment is very large and it is not easy to bake the fish, which is also what Ma Xiaoxiao learned in a TV show in his last life, remember that this should be a method of grilling fish used for many people in Xinjiang.
As for the round bonfire, with two thick wooden forks on both sides, you can cut the meat section into sections, insert a thick wooden stick and directly roast it as a roast suckling pig, of course, before roasting, Ma Xiaoxiao still needs to change the knife or something on the anaconda meat section, in short, Ma Xiaoxiao completely treats the skin and internal organs of the anaconda meat as a king-size ham sausage.
The coachman who volunteered to help, when he was invited by Ma Xiaoxiao to have dinner with a few people, took out a part of the money that Ma Xiaoxiao used to hire him from the cloth bag he carried, which meant that he didn't plan to eat it in vain, but Ma Xiaoxiao didn't accept the money he handed back, but just signaled him to divide a few of the dried naan cakes he brought himself to satisfy hunger for everyone.
The coachman didn't think that the value of the dry and hard naan cakes he brought to satisfy his hunger was comparable with the meat of the anacond, so he was very generous after contributing his naan cakes, he still planned to pay Ma Xiaoxiao for the meal, but Ma Xiaoxiao smiled and patted his shoulder and said 'friend' and refused.
After hearing Ma Xiaoxiao's 'friend', the coachman finally took the money back and gritted his teeth.
It can be seen that most of the aborigines nowadays are actually very simple, but this kind of kindness is limited to treating their own personnel, I believe that in the face of the enemy, they will still be very fierce and ferocious, after all, the folk customs here are still here, not to mention, ten years ago, they were all from different primitive indigenous tribes.
