The pumpkins also climbed the vines and produced golden pumpkin flowers.

Since then, Yao Xiaoqing has one more thing, that is, to take flowers and winter snow to pick male flower stamens to pollinate female flowers, and to cut off the melon vines that are too forked on the pumpkin vine, leaving four or five side vines in one plant, saving too many melon vines and dividing nutrients.

Take back the beaten melon vines and male flowers, tear off the fluff on the melon vines, select short joints, put a little salt to rub and clean them, squeeze out the water, and put some minced garlic to stir-fry is a good dish.

The weather gradually got hotter, and once they picked up a lot of duck eggs by the river where they had never picked up duck eggs.

Yao Xiaoqing planned to soak salted duck eggs, wash the duck eggs with flowers, and dry them in a dustpan. Put the salt in the water and bring to a boil, cool and pour it into the jar, and put the dried duck eggs in the brine.

I went to the shelf and found a small piece of animal skin, spread out some sand in it, tied it tightly with a rope, put the sandbag on the mouth of the altar and sealed the mouth of the altar, and after half a month it was ready to eat.

When Yaohu led people to build the wall, Yao Xiaoqing led people to deepen, widen and dredge the ditch on the mountain to the foot of the mountain.

The ditch at the foot of the mountain and the low-lying area under the pond were cleaned and solidified, and the original small ditch was deepened and widened, and dug into a drainage ditch about two meters wide and more than one meter deep.

The gutters below the fence were covered with a layer of mortar, which was filled with chiseled flint. Inside the fence was a wooden fence made of charred hardwood. Prevent people from drilling through the gutter after being discovered.

After the fence was built, it was two meters eight or nine high. The south side is the main gate, and the north side of the pond is at the foot of the mountain, leaving a small door for everyone to enter and exit. The location of the original stairs also left a door.

The upper and lower thresholds of the gate are made of feldspar strips and yellow bricks, and the position of the door frame is grooved with yellow bricks, and the cut wood is inlaid into it and sealed with oyster ash.

Two columns are built with yellow bricks behind the door, and two grooves are built at intervals of one meter to place the door bars.

The entire wall and the platform of the cave are combined, and enemies can only enter with a long ladder if they want to enter.

Yao Xiaoqing took Yao Hu and them to find all the wood that had been cut down and dried. It took another ten days to finish a few doors.

This time, Yaohu listened to Yao Xiaoqing's suggestion and came up with a new approach. He led the people to select the uniform thickness of the wood, cut the wood, with a stone chisel made of flint, chiseled out a square mortise, and then a few long pieces of wood through the mortise to join the timber together, with a wooden hammer to beat it tightly, and then with a door frame frame.

After the two gates were completed, they were placed there, and at a glance they were not on the same level as the wooden row door that they made for the first time. Doors made in this way are more beautiful and stronger.

Yao Xiaoqing looked at the finished wooden door and admired them. She just provided an idea, and some suggestions for how to do it, and even if it was such a primitive tool, they would try to do it better.

When everything was ready, the logs for the door panels were almost installed, and Yaohu felt that the hollowed logs were not strong, so he went to the river to find a few stones in the shape of a stone mortar and moved them back.

After Yao Xiaoqing saw it, he took someone to find two basin-sized mortars and came back to pound the powder.

At dusk that day, all the people of the Yaoshan tribe Yao Xiaoqing and the people of the tribe stood at the gate, watching Yaohu and Mu Feng carry a gate and install it on the door cover, and after the two gates were installed, everyone showed a happy smile on their faces.

Mu Ba smiled: "Chief, close it and let's push it." ”

Yaohu smiled and nodded, and said to Yao Xiaoqing: "Xiaoqing, come and close the door with Father." ”

"Okay." Yao Xiaoqing replied loudly. Walked over and grabbed a door with Yaohu, closed the door, picked up the door bar placed on the side and tied the door.

Yaohu shouted loudly: "It's closed, you try, can you push it?" ”

Mu Ba, Dashi, and Da Shu, a dozen or so warriors, all stepped forward and hit them hard a few times.

Yao Xiaoqing watched the door clang, but they didn't knock it open.

I thought: When the frame of the house is built, I have to go to the tung oil tree, pick some tung seeds, come back to squeeze oil and brush the door, so that it can be used for a long time.

Dashi and they shouted outside: "Chief, the door is strong and will not be pushed open. ”

Yaohu opened the door and said to them with a smile, "Let's go, put the other doors in place." ”

Everyone responded loudly, entered the gate with a smile on their faces, and looked at the open land in front of them, Shan Amu smiled and said: "Look at it, if this piece is all planted, I'm afraid we won't be able to eat it until we die." ”

Yun Amu shook his head with a smile, "Ah Cai, where can I find so many seeds in such a wide land?" ”

Uncle Ah Chun said with a smile on the side: "The millet in our field is much better than the one planted in Yaoshan, and that small piece can also harvest a lot of millet grains." ”

Sam Eminem nodded, "That's right! When the corn is beaten and can be planted, won't there be more seeds? ”

Yao Xiaoqing listened to their discussions, thinking about five or six hundred acres of land, changing it to modern times, buying a walk-behind tractor to plow the land, buying a rice transplanter, and buying a harvester, and it would not take many people to farm.

Here, there is not even a hoe, less than forty people, slash-and-burn cultivation can grow up to 100 acres of land, and what is even more difficult is that there are no seeds. She sighed in her heart, not knowing when she would be able to eat a bowl of fragrant rice, noodles, steamed buns, steamed buns, ......, thinking about her saliva flowed out.

Seeing her looking at the front silently, Mu Feng looked back at her and asked with concern, "Xiaoqing, what's wrong with you?" Isn't it too tired? ”

Yao Xiaoqing looked back at him and smiled, "Brother, I'm fine, I was a little distracted just now." ”

"It's okay." Mu Feng pointed to the kudzu, "Yesterday, I and Quan cut the arrowroot with a bamboo knife, I pulled it, and they were all planted." ”

Yao Xiaoqing didn't expect Mu Feng to be such a big person, and he was so naughty. Smiled and nodded, "Okay! When you're done, you take the time to plant all the kudzu. ”

"Got it, you see Father, they're all going to the gate at the foot of the mountain." Mu Feng turned his head and smiled, "Do you want Brother to carry you over?" He crouched down in front of her.

Yao Xiaoqing looked at his not very broad back, his nose was a little sour, and he patted him coquettishly, "I don't want it, I'm an adult." ”

Mu Feng stood up and looked at her, and said seriously, "Hmm! We Xiaoqing are still very capable adults. ”

"How can you boast about your sister like this?" Yao Xiaoqing walked forward a little embarrassed.

When the brother and sister reached the foot of the mountain, Yaohu and the others had already installed the door at the foot of the mountain. Yao Xiaoqing thought that when they repaired the house, this would be the first farm in history.

Yaohu led someone to install the last door, turned his head to look at Dashi and them, and said with a smile: "Brothers, when we finish building the house, we will divide the house for you, and when the time comes, you will have to work hard to give birth to dolls." ”

After the fence was built, everyone's craftsmanship improved quickly, thinking about how big the house was. It won't take a few days to complete. The men shouted, "Yes, chief, then let's get the house built!" ”
