The method of cutting the rice is the same as that of kudzu vine, but in the end, it is not necessary to cut the pasty cut cake into vermicelli packs, but you can cut it and eat it in one piece.

Of course, the sun-dried kudzu vine is white and can be eaten directly as a dried fruit, chewing a little sweet and straight into the heart and lungs.

Fresh raw kudzu vines can also be eaten, and the vine roots have a lot of moisture in them, but they still have a unique flavor except for some light astringency.

After finishing the finishing work, the wood cutting team moved from the mountain to the valley flat below, so that they did not have to climb all over the mountain, and of course, the food delivery team saved a lot of hard work in climbing the mountain.

They found a relatively flat place in the valley and made two large wooden forks, which were about the height of a man's chest, and placed them on the ground, which were used for the use of wood.

Originally, the big wooden forks were to be nailed up with yard nails, which was fast, stable and easy to disassemble, but they did not have yard nails, only sawed grooves in the wood, and then stuck the grooves together.

Before driving the wood to these two large wooden forks, the bark of the wood should be cut off with an axe, stacked layer by layer according to the tic-tac-toe shape, and let it dry naturally for a period of time.

Speaking of ink lines, you need to make an ink cartridge first.

Cut a bamboo knot in two to make a fist-high bamboo cup, then tie the bamboo cup with a rope and fix it at one end of a wooden block that is the width of a hand, make a scroll at the other end of the wooden block, wrap one end of the rope made of twine around the scroll, and pass the other end through the middle of the bamboo cup - of course, you need to drill two thin eyes the size of a needle's eye with a tool in the middle of the bamboo cup, and this thin eye should be the same size as the hemp rope, so that the ink will not flow out of the thin eye. Tie a pointed wooden awl to the thread that runs through the bamboo cup.

Then pound the black charcoal into powder, sprinkle it into a bamboo cup, and add an appropriate amount of water, so that you have an ink cartridge.

If you use the ink line to stretch the straight line, insert the wooden awl into one end of the wood to fix it, and a person holds the ink cartridge to the other end of the wood to find the correct position, puts the ink line close to the wood, and then picks up the tight ink line with his hand and then releases it, only to hear a "buzz" sound, so that a black straight line is stretched out.

If you need to saw the plank, you need to stretch out the ink line at the same position on both sides of the wood, and the person who saws on both sides should always keep the saw edge near the ink line, so that the sawed wood is smooth and does not deviate.

After stretching the ink line, it is necessary to fix the wood on the big wooden fork, of course, it is best to fix it with a yard nail, but now it can only be tied with a rope, and then the ink line is placed in parallel, and the two people who pull the saw stand on both sides of the wood, pull the saw back and forth, about a bag of cigarettes, and a wooden board is sawed out.

The two people who pull the saw should be about the same height and physical strength, otherwise the two sides cannot cooperate when pulling the saw, and the person with good physical strength will be very difficult, and the two people cannot straighten the saw, and when the direction of the force used is inconsistent, it is possible to break the saw.

This work takes a lot of time, almost more than a month. And these jobs here are still only rough processing, the purpose is to reduce the weight of the wood and planks on the road, and after arriving at home, it is necessary to carry out finishing according to the needs of building a house, a pillar, a tenon, and a board, and that is the time to really study the craftsmanship of craftsmen and hone people's perseverance.

The people in the seventh group still deliver food to everyone day after day, but now they don't have to go up the mountain, which saves a lot of time and effort.

In order to enliven the atmosphere, the women's groups are often exchanged, and they are also active for everyone, but the men's groups cannot be changed, because they may not be able to take over immediately after the change, and the newcomers may not do this work, but delay things.

The work of several groups is moving forward according to their own plans, and everyone is working hard.

Seeing that autumn has passed in this busy, followed by the winter of goose feathers and snow, this winter's snow has fallen extraordinarily much, after a few snowfalls, the mountains, fields and several construction sites near the stone cave house have all been covered with white snow, and the world suddenly quieted down.

The brick-beating thing has ended, a total of two or three thousand adobe bricks, in addition to making a part of the brick kiln, most of them can also be used for other purposes, they took this time to burn seven or eight kilns of charcoal, enough for a winter.

At this time, the weather is cold, the mud pond is frozen like a stone, and there is no way to step on the thin mud, and the work of stepping on the mud and making tiles cannot be done, so the people of this group can only stop and help other groups.

There is also the pigweed group, after the pigweed is covered by thick snow, it is difficult to find, so it can only stop working, and temporarily use the fermented pigweed that has been saved for so long, if nothing else, it is estimated that it can be used for two months.

There was also enough forage for the wild sheep and reindeer, and a large pile of green thatch and grass in the fields was piled up in the yard.

During this time, although the main work of the pigweed group was to beat pigweed, at the same time, as long as the grass was found, it consciously cut it back, in fact, this group shouldered these two responsibilities.

The work of the brick and tile kiln group is not affected by the weather, and it is not cold to work in the cave. The only thing that suffers is the sawmill group, in the snowy weather, several people stand in the barren mountains and mountains and pull the saw, and a thick layer of snow falls on their heads and bodies, but they dare not stop, and it will be so cold that people can't stand it when they stop.

In the first few days of snowfall, the weather was not very cold, and the saw soon sweated and smoked, but as the snow became thicker and the temperature became lower and lower, the hands slowly froze to the point that they could not grasp the saw, and they were not flexible when moving wood.

Seeing that the work of this group is not able to be done.

Everyone's hands were cracked one by one, and they bled with exertion, and their hearts ached, and when they slept at night, they lay by the warm fire, and the frost blisters on their hands, ears, and heels were itching, and they itched so much that they wanted to pick up the flesh.

The seventh group of women who delivered the rice brought them a few turnips, cooked them in the fire, and then covered the cooked radishes in the area with frozen blisters, and soaked their feet in the hot water in which the radishes were boiled.

This is a few home remedies, said to be able to cure frozen blisters, but there is no effect, even if the effect is better, and during the day to be frozen in the wind and snow, where is it good to iron.

After learning about this situation, my father and several old brothers decided to go home to rest for the time being, and wait for the weather to be warmer next year, but the people in this group were reluctant to leave, saying that if it freezes, it will be half a year younger, and now stop, I don't know when we will be able to build a house.

It's uncomfortable, but this weather will freeze people for a long time, so let's put a little bit of where to live this winter, and I'm not in a hurry at this time.

My father also had a small idea, saying that he could build a simple house in the yard with good adobe bricks, and the roof should be covered with wood, branches and thatch to keep out the snow, so that a simple house could be made first and increase the space for everyone's activities.

Everyone thought that this method was simple and easy, and they started to do it, and in two days, the four wide adobe houses were ready.
