Hua glanced at the happy Yaohu and persuaded in a low voice: "Eminem, it's rare for the leader to be so happy, don't mention this matter yet, and talk to Xiaoqing quietly later." ”

"Okay," Shan Emu put the dishes and chopsticks back on the table, and suddenly remembered something, "You watch her a little when you're at home, don't let her get into Xiaoqing's bamboo shed." ”

Hua nodded, and asked Yaya to wash her hands and eat food.

Everyone washed their hands and sat around the stone table, and Mu Ya also walked out of the cave, glanced at Yao Xiaoqing, and sat down next to Da Eminem.

Yao Hu picked up a piece of cake and handed it to Yao Xiaoqing, and said with a smile: "Let's eat." ”

Yao Xiaoqing hurriedly took it with both hands, "Father, you can eat too." ”

"Okay." Yaohu smiled and took a piece of cake, and everyone saw that he picked up the cake before they began to eat.

Yao Xiaoqing put a lump of yams in his mouth, and after eating it, he felt soft and delicate, and the taste was better than that of the previous family. I glanced at the yasca beans in the basket, and while eating, I thought that I would plant some yams, and some yamsa beans would be planted, and I would try which planting would yield the quickest results.

After everyone ate the food, Yaohu said to Yao Xiaoqing: "Xiaoqing, you sleep for a while, let's go to work first." ”

Yao Xiaoqing shook his head, "You go down and wait for me first, I'll go down the mountain soon." ”

Yaohu nodded, and a group of people took the guy down the mountain.

Yao Xiaoqing entered the bamboo shed and took out a bundle of thin rattan bark rope prepared in advance, wrapped it around the wooden stick, tied a two or three feet long wooden stick at each end to make a horizontal line, and tied a thin rope to the stone spear to make a vertical line.

Looking at the two things in his hand, he muttered to himself: That's all I know, whether it will be successful depends on whether your hands are skillful or not.

She took out two pieces of bamboo and opened the door of the bamboo shed, saw Mu Ya standing in the yard and saw the door open, and turned her head sharply to look out of the fence.

Seeing her look like a thief, Yao Xiaoqing secretly reminded herself to be careful of this girl.

Hua caught up with Yao Xiaoqing at the gate of the courtyard with a bamboo tube, told her what Shan Emu heard, and said angrily: "Xiaoqing, I think she and Da Eminem often mutter, will they be the same as the fire civet?" ”

Yao Xiaoqing was not afraid of other things, she was afraid that she would know where the salt came from, and the small Yaoshan tribe could not afford the retaliation of those big tribes.

"You tell Shui Bo and Worm Bo that everyone looks at her a little, don't let her enter the bamboo shed where I sleep."

Hua nodded and said, "Okay, I'll tell them, we'll keep someone to watch her when she's at home." ”

Yao Xiaoqing arrived at the foot of the mountain, called Yao Hu to the place where the stones were piled up, and used the stones to build a boxy house model and explain it to them.

After hearing this, Yaohu and the others looked around the model for a while, and nodded to show that they understood.

She pointed to the stone wall with a piece of bamboo and said to them, "Father, the courtyard wall is simple, as long as it is built horizontally and vertically, there will be no problem. The house is more complicated, because there are doors and windows, you first build the courtyard wall to practice, and when you have successfully built the courtyard wall, it should be no problem to build the house again. ”

She erected the bamboo piece, "Also, you must pay attention when you build it, the wall must be as straight as this bamboo piece, otherwise it will collapse." ”

Yaohu nodded attentively and said, "Xiaoqing, is the courtyard wall the same as the one on our mountain, and there is also a courtyard gate to be left?" ”

Yao Xiaoqing nodded, handed the rope to Yaohu, pulled it out about three meters long, and said to him: "The courtyard gate should be at least so big, build a column in the middle, and there are doors on both sides, so that it is convenient to travel when there are many people." ”

Yaohu nodded and said, "Okay, you teach us to dig the foundation you said first." ”

Several people walked to the mark left by Yao Xiaoqing yesterday, she drew a half-meter-wide position with a bamboo piece, handed the bamboo piece to Yaohu and said; "Father, you dig the foundation first, and the width is as I drew it, and the depth is two pieces of bamboo."

Yaohu looked at her and said, "We dug it up for you to see." ”

Yao Xiaoqing nodded, and instructed everyone to dig out the foundation that was nearly half a meter wide and one meter deep.

"Yes, just dig down like this," Yao Xiaoqing handed the horizontal and vertical lines to Yao Hu and demonstrated how to use them, "The one with two wooden sticks tied is called a horizontal line, which is used to pull a straight line to measure the length, and the vertical line is used to prevent you from building a crooked wall when you build it." ”

Yaohu nodded, "Okay, if there is anything you don't understand, Father will call you." ”

Yao Xiaoqing smiled embarrassedly, "Father, the gods have taught a lot, and there are many more that I can't remember, so I can only rely on you to figure it out on your own." ”

Yaohu looked at her and thought of Mu Ya, felt that her daughter was too sensible and obedient, rubbed her head distressedly, and said with a loving smile: "Xiaoqing is not afraid, if not, let's go find a place with many caves to live, and you can also go play for a while." ”

Looking at Yao Hu's loving and tolerant smile, which made Yao Xiaoqing think of her father in her previous life, she felt a burst of warmth in her heart, nodded heavily, and turned around and walked towards the kiln.

When I arrived at the kiln, I sealed the mouth of the kiln with clay, lifted half a bucket of water, shoveled a small half shovel of oyster ash with a wooden shovel and poured it into the bucket, and the oyster ash bubbled like lime after encountering water, and gradually melted in the water and turned into white mortar.

Yao Xiaoqing stirred it with a wooden stick, lifted the wooden shovel and put three and a half shovels of sand and gravel in it, and after stirring, he carried it to the side of the stone pile, moved some stones with a good mortar, and built a half-meter-high stone wall.

Shan Amu took Ah Su and two women to the bottom of the mountain, saw Yao Xiaoqing sitting on the stone in a daze, and stepped forward with a smile, "Xiaoqing, Ah Yun went to collect food, I selected two boxes of taro, where do you think it's good to plant?" ”

"Just plant it where you planted last time, and remember to sprinkle some plant ash on the taro, dig the ditch higher, and mix more humus in it. Remember to cut the wormwood home and dry it. ”

"Okay." Shan Amu Ying turned his head to look at Asu and said, "Asu went back and brought down the ashes of the grass and trees." ”

Yao Xiaoqing followed a few people to the taro field, and saw the three ridges of taro planted last time, and some of them had already pulled out the buds.

"Eminem, in a few days I will go to the pit to pick up some manure and water to fertilize these ridges of taro."

Mountain Eminem smiled and nodded, "Okay! Go play! ”

Yao Xiaoqing looked at her and laughed, "Why did you all ask me to play today, I'm not a girl." ”

Shan Eminem was amused, "It's not good to let you play!" ”

"Okay, then I'll play."

Yao Xiaoqing smiled and returned to the stone wall, looking at it and feeling that it was almost dry. Raised his foot and kicked the upper stone hard, and the stones stuck together and did not move. With more effort, she kicked the wall to the ground, and the stones and mortar still did not disperse. Picked up a rock and smashed it for a while before smashing a stone off.

Yao Xiaoqing nodded with satisfaction: No wonder outdoor experts say that oyster ash is an important traditional building material along the coast. From building city walls and bridges, to building houses and ditches, oyster ash will be used.
