After Xiao Xiaoxiao sent the message to Bu Fan, he regained his old spirit, and the whole person was radiant and energetic and began to pack the pile of animal skins exchanged for Shen. She was going to take advantage of today's free time to wash all this, and then arrange and soak all the bark they had peeled off yesterday, and prepare to make rice paper in a few days. She must have recovered the time she had just wasted, and the loss of missing the harvest to find the cotton.

Just do it, put more than ten pieces of animal skins in the basket one by one, carry them, and go out. When Xiao Xiaoxiao went out, there were basically no people in the tribe, only the clan elders and a few older people were drying corn and crushing corn. Xiao Xiaoxiao saw that it was not convenient for them to harvest corn, so he took two wooden basins from the Shenshu house, handed them to the clan elder, and told him how to dig them and how to use them.

The clan elder nodded happily at Xiao Xiaoxiao, and turned around and dug a scoop of milled corn for her. Xiao Xiaoxiao refused but had to take it, the people of the tribe did not take other people's things for nothing, and usually had to barter in exchange.

Xiao Xiaoxiao put the corn in Shen's tree house and prepared to cook a porridge for himself at noon. When she came out to look at the sky, it was almost noon, and she had delayed a lot of time in the house today, and it was not possible to wash the animal skins in the morning, so she could only wash them again in the afternoon. But you can soak the bark first, this is not effortless, by the way pick some mushroom fungus, pick this back basket is almost time to cook. It takes a few days for the bark to soften, so the solid wooden support must be made before then.

Xiao Xiaoxiao was thinking about it, and while taking out the animal skin in the back basket, he replaced it with the bark that was scavenged from the kitchen utensils yesterday. It took seven or eight trips back and forth to transport all the bark, and twelve bundles of rattan were tied, and one by one they were thrown into the pond, and the end of the hand was tied to the trees along the shore. After placing these, Xiao Xiaoxiao carried the back basket to yesterday's location to pick mushrooms and fungus, like these vegetables that can be dried and stored, the more the better.

Last night, I heard Chi talk about the past, and the people of the tribe used salt to preserve meat and wild vegetables, such as the prey caught in the last two months were made into smoked bacon and preserved in the cave of the god in the back mountain of the tribe. Fruits and wild vegetables are picked on a large scale at the end, and when the time comes, the wild vegetables are put in stone jars and pickled with salt, and the people here do not have a lot of demand for pickles, they are more eager for meat and fruits in the cold winter.

But fruits are the hardest to preserve, and even in a cool, dry cave, there are only one or two fruits that can survive the winter in good condition. And the taste will deteriorate a lot over time, but even so, the fruit is still in short supply, because in the spring, the one or two will not be kept. Xiao Xiaoxiao thought, in response to this problem, she can dry the dried fruit, although after drying, there is no water and less nutrition, but there is still a little bit of vitamins left, and the dried fruit is sweet, and the people of the tribe will definitely love it.

Originally, she also made juice and fruit wine, but because of the hygiene and lack of proper equipment, she had never seen any fruit here. So don't waste it, after all, it's about to be winter, after all, fruits are relatively scarce, and she is not completely sure. I really want to get it, wait until next summer, it happens to be close to the end of the year, whether she can go or not, she will give this as a gift to Shen.

Xiao Xiaoxiao was thinking about it like this, and she was busy at the same time, when she was picking mushrooms and fungus, she thought about drying some wild vegetables, and there would be three kinds of vegetables to eat at that time. When she was boiling porridge at noon, she thought that she had to get some oil to stir-fry, otherwise for several months, the food would be too monotonous, and there was no way to use vegetable oil, but animal oil was ready-made. Then I thought that there are rivers, lakes and fish here, and you can also dry fish, although she has always hated this fishy. There are also spices, so you have to prepare some, and when you go out, you have to look for fruits and grass seeds of various flavors.

When she washed the hides in the afternoon, she thought again that sacks and large wooden barrels were scarce! If she finds a substitute for cotton, she has to load it, she has to load it with grain corn, dried mushrooms, dried fungus, dried wild vegetables, dried fish, dried fruits, animal oil, and seasonings. And you can't always take a bath all winter, there must be a large wooden barrel, and the cotton-like ones must be sewn into animal skin pockets, and other things, there are too few animal skins, and the barrels are not good to make and cost wood.

Perhaps, otherwise she will burn pottery, she has also studied porcelain making before, and it should not be a problem to burn a crude clay pot. In this case, you have to choose a site to build a kiln, you have to find suitable soil, and you have to sew animal skin pockets to soak in sand and wash soil, and go back again...... There are a lot of things, and the process is even more complicated, the soil found must be soaked in water first, and the impurities are thrown away to leave the sticky and tough fine soil, and then it can be kneaded into various shapes, and finally the pottery is fired.

Wait for the evening to ask Chi, I don't want to, my head hurts. Xiao Xiaoxiao dragged the vines hard, tied the knots tightly, and then hung the washed animal skins one by one on the vine ropes, nearly a hundred animal skins, and dried five vine ropes. The open space in front of the door of the Blazing House was blocked, Xiao Xiaoxiao looked at the masterpiece in front of her, and yawned with satisfaction, she was so sleepy, she worked continuously all day, and thought about this and that brains excessively.

Coupled with the ups and downs of emotions, I really can't bear it anymore. Xiao Xiaoxiao tiredly dragged the back basket to push open the door, walked into his room step by step, planted himself in the animal skin quilt, rubbed comfortably, and was just about to fall asleep. A hard thing hit his forehead, took a look, it was a contact, and there was a message from Bu Fan on it, Xiao Xiaoxiao held his eyelids, and even sighed, and replied to Bu Fan.

"Bu Fan, it's good that you have a foal born there! Then you have to take good care of it, it is the main means of transportation in the place where you stay, unlike me, it is all on two feet, and it will be tired to death today. By the way, Bu Fan, you can help me think about what I could eat in ancient times, and how to preserve winter food......" Writing this, Xiao Xiaoxiao really couldn't hold it, and just added the sentence 'I want to burn pottery' and fell asleep.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Great Qi country, Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing. Bu Fan sat outside the stable in strict costume, his head kept nodding, and he looked like he was about to fall asleep, after all, it was late at night here, and it was still late at night, and it was cold and 'moving'. Xiaobi was afraid that Bu Fan would catch a cold, so she could only keep adding firewood to the brazier around, who would have thought that the foal that was born early in the morning would not be born late at night, and Bu Fan got up early in the morning in order to see it.

It's so tricky! Qin Qizhi also came over to take a look after dealing with the matter, looked at Bu Fan, who was so sleepy, and asked Xiaobi in a low voice, "Haven't you been born yet?" Xiaobi shook her head, and was about to say something, when Bu Fan, who heard the word 'sheng', woke up suddenly, stood up with a brush, and said in a daze: "It's born!" Raw? It's great, but it's finally born, I want to see ......" As he spoke, he ran to the stable, and Qin Qizhi hurriedly stretched out his arms to stop him, "Not yet, Jing'er." ”

Xiaobi followed and grabbed Bu Fan and said, "Miss, the horse hasn't been born yet, don't worry, it will always be born." Bu Fan sniffed, rubbed his eyes, and said tremblingly: "It's not born yet, it will always be born, I also know, but can you give a quasi-letter, how long will it be, I want to freeze to death, and hawoo~ I'm sleepy." Qin Qizhi knocked on Bu Fan's head and said, "If you can't stand it, go to sleep, and see you tomorrow." ”

As soon as Bu Fan was about to nod, the head of the village in the stable ran out and said, "It's born, it's born, it's a little black horse!" Lord Wang, Miss ......" Bu Fan didn't wait for him to finish speaking, he pushed away the people and squeezed in, and Qin Qizhi followed. Zhuang Tou looked at Xiaobi at a loss, and Xiaobi said calmly: "The prince doesn't know how many war horses he has delivered at the border, don't worry about it, what else do you want to say just now?" Zhuang Tou: "That horse is very short and small. ”

Xiaobi was shocked: "Impossible, that horse's belly is so big!" Zhuang Tou said embarrassedly: "Because I am fat." Xiaobi: "。。。。。。 ”

In the stable, Bu Fan looked at the wet little black horse fondly, "Oh my God, it's so beautiful!" Qin Qizhi looked at the wet little black horse in a complicated manner, "...... That's too short, too...... is still fat...... "Shouldn't this king really raise a war?" This is a warning from heaven, no! Being born doesn't mean anything, it grows up! Bu Fan held his heart in his hands and said obsessively: "BMW gives the hero, give it to me." ”

Qin Qi's eyes flashed, yes, although the pony was born from the king's substitute mount, it was still the child of the king's mount. But if it is given to Jing'er, it will not be hers, since it does not belong to this king, then there is no problem, okay, that's it, "I gave it to Jing'er." Bu Fan applauded and admired: "Happy! Miss Ben admires your arrogance. Then he shouted, "Zhuang Tou! Zhuang head! Come on in! Take good care of Miss Ben's foal, and take it with me when I get home. ”

After telling the head of the village and saying goodbye to the foal, Bu Fan took Xiaobi back. Qin Qizhi originally came to see Bu Fan's sleepy appearance and planned to give it to her, but after thinking about it, what he had to do now was a bit dangerous, and it was not appropriate to be too involved with her. It is necessary to find a reliable family as soon as possible and entrust Jing'er to her, so that if a woman has a mother-in-law's family, she will not have to be implicated in the affairs of her mother's family......

After entering the door, Bu Fan walked all the way to pick up jewelry and undress, and Xiaobi followed along. When he got to the bed, Bu Fan kicked off his shoes directly and pounced, "I'm tired, I'm sleepy, I really like beds!" Xiaobi, when you go out, put out the candle, thank you. Xiaobi twitched the corners of her mouth, silently and quickly completed Bu Fan's explanation, and then locked the window, closed the door, and left.

Bu Fan stretched his waist, turned around again, raised his hand and touched the bottom of the pillow, pulled out the mirror, took a routine look, and then replied: "Xiao Xiaoxiao, there are a lot of things that can be eaten, but if the people there don't eat it, don't eat it, in case of poisoning, it will be bad." To preserve food in winter, either salt or drying, if you want to burn pottery, dry wood should be prepared, you can directly find a closed cave, and build a kiln in the province. ”
