Chapter 347: Primitive Farming (7)
After turning over the hides, the green soul remembered the wild vegetables he had picked back the day before yesterday and put them outside, so he hurriedly found them and scooped water from the stone jar to clean them.
Fortunately, although the dish is a little wilted, but it is not bad, after cleaning, it looks a lot more energetic, the green soul is placed in the shed to cool, and after it is cooled and dried, it can be dried for two days, and it becomes a dried vegetable. During the rainy season and winter, it can be used to supplement food and vitamins.
In winter, there are no vegetables, all rely on jerky, because salt is extremely precious, and that pitiful salt cannot be used to marinate meat, and can only store meat for a limited period of time before the onset of winter, so the meat that survives the winter does not guarantee the amount of food for the tribesmen. Jerky is limited, and people can't stand it if they can't eat enough. Therefore, picking wild vegetables in spring and after the heavy rains season is also very important.
During this period of time, the main task of the women and children of the clan was to pick wild vegetables and fruits, and the amount of harvest was distributed to the clan in eight percent, and two percent belonged to individuals.
Therefore, during this period of time, the original owner has stored a bag of wild dried vegetables.
But there are no dried fruits. After picking fruits normally, they are eaten within two or three days. Because fruits are not easy to store. Drying dried fruits, or making canned food, the clansmen do not have this skill at present.
Qing Soul touched his chin and thought about it, and felt that he should get some dried fruits, which could enrich the variety of food in the rainy season and winter.
However, there were no dried mushrooms, which made the green soul a little depressed.
It's the best and most delicious ingredient for soup.
In my memory, the people thought that mushrooms were poisonous, so no one picked them.
Qing Soul plans to see if he can find a few edible mushrooms in the near future. If you can find it, it will definitely add another nutritious, delicious, and easy-to-store ingredient to the clan.
When the sun was about to set, the green soul collected the animal skin, wrapped it and put it in his uncle's room, and was about to cook dinner and cook a wild vegetable broth, when he saw the eagle carrying a large bundle of soft vines for him, along with the original owner's friend Yuanshi and the little girl Qingcao. The two of them did not have the strength to carve, but they also carried a small bundle each.
Qingcao smiled sweetly, and her voice was as crisp as a warbler: "Yoyo, we came to see you, and I also brought you the fine soft vines and fruits you wanted, today is the red fruit I found, very sweet and sweet." ”
The three of them threw the fine soft rattan they were carrying on the floor under the shed, and when they saw that she had wiped the floor clean, they were not embarrassed to come up and walk around, because the wooden floor was still about forty meters away from the ground, so the three of them simply sat on it, and handed the fruit in their pockets to the green soul.
Yuanshi smiled innocently: "I picked a lot of grass with me, you taste it, it's really sweet." ”
Cobblestone and Green Grass are both friends who grew up together in the orphan cave, and they have a good relationship. Usually the eagle has always taken good care of them, Yuanshi is eleven years old, Qingcao is only seven years old, two years younger than Qingsoul, has begun to participate in labor, as much as he can to find food for himself, to feed himself.
The round stone looks better, after the snow season of lack of food and drink, the grass is skinny, and the eyes are smiling like little stars, which is sad to see.
What a lovely little girl.
Qing Soul smiled: "Then I will accept it, thank you for helping me collect the soft vines today, and also send me these fruits, so, I will entertain you in the evening, cook the broth for you to drink, and when you drink the broth, you will go back." ”
The three of them all refused, and the green soul sank his face: "If you don't stay to eat, then I can't accept these things." Take it back with you. ”
The three were dumbfounded.
Seeing that they agreed to stay, Qing Soul put on a smiling face again, carved it up to help boil water, Qing Soul took five or six pieces of jerky and cut them into cubes, put them in a pot and boiled, added a little salt, and then took advantage of the fact that the three of them were not paying attention, and put some salt taken from the space and put it in. Meat, if you don't put salt, no matter how fragrant it is, it will be greasy to eat.
When the meat was boiled, Qing Soul took a large handful of semi-dried wild vegetables that had been dried before and put them into the pot, and after only cooking for a while, the fire was extinguished.
There were also a few wooden spoons, and the four of them gathered around the stone table, drinking broth and talking at the same time.
Qingcao asked Qingsoul: "Yo Yo, the eagle said that you want to use these fine soft rattan to weave things, what are you weaving?" When I come back from the harvest tomorrow, can I come and have a look? ”
"You can come and see, or you can learn from me, what I want to weave is used to collect and harvest, it is more convenient than a leather bag, and you can carry it on your back, so that your two hands can be used to do other things, and you can work faster."
"That's right," Qingcao was very interested, "then I'll learn from you, and I'll make one for myself when I learn it, yes, and I'll also make one for Brother Cobblestone and Carving." This allows us to pick more fruits and wild vegetables. I can save more dried wild vegetables, so I don't have to go hungry in the future. ”
Qing Soul smiled and encouraged: "You will definitely be able to learn." Gather more food, and we won't have to go hungry in the future. ”
Because most of the harvest of hunting is given to the clan, and he can only keep twenty percent, so although his uncle Feng Lie is a strong warrior, it is not easy to feed the green soul. In the winter, my uncle and she also had to save food and fight hunger every day.
Fortunately, there is still more than a month before the dry season, and the rainy and snow seasons are even longer, and during this time, Qing Soul plans to find more food that is easy to store.
As for how she knew this knowledge that even Wu didn't know, it was very simple, didn't she tell Wu before that she saw someone who was very similar to Wu in a dream and gave her something she didn't know what it was?
That person can be an ancestral witch existence, a so-called thing, or knowledge.
Moreover, in the future, she plans to expose her ability to store food and not spoil, but she also has an excuse.
In short, these things, Wu will help her make up the reason for it when the time comes.
The Jiushan Clan Witch is indeed a trustworthy witch who has no selfishness towards the clansmen, deeply loves and has been working hard to protect the clansmen, which is also the basis for the trust of the green soul to reveal some knowledge and abilities in the future.
Of course, at this time, the green soul didn't know that the reason why Wu valued her was not just the reason for the dream she said.
After the three friends finished eating, they went down the mountain together and went back to where they lived.
The green soul began to tidy up the thin soft vines, first plucking all the leaves on them, leaving only the branches. Next, remove all the skin from the branches. In fact, it is best to blister or boil the skin, but now there is no such condition, so it has to be harder.
It was not easy to dispose of the skin on the two thin soft vines, and the green soul was about to give up, which was too time-consuming.
The left and right don't pay attention to any beauty now, just be practical, just use rattan with skin to weave.
The branches of the thin soft rattan are very flexible, and they are very handy when weaving things.
The green soul sat under the shed, and began to weave baskets under the moonlight and stars in the night. (The second one, thank you for the blue half-winged butterfly, Mia's two pros for the reward.) )
