91 worries
The rest of the tribe, the men lived in a courtyard, the women lived in a courtyard, and a few old Eminem lived in the west wing of the courtyard where Yao Xiaoqing's family lived.
On the first night of living in the new house, Yao Xiaoqing leaned on the head of the bed and blew out the resin oil lamp, gently shook the pu fan made of palm leaves, looked at the little red light lit up by the wormwood mosquito coil on the round wooden bench placed in the corner of the house, and thought that he had finally taken a big step forward with the tribe, and was no longer an ancient person who lived in a cave.
Yaohu and the others were busy building houses, the pumpkin skin in the field had turned yellow and gradually began to ripen, Yao Xiaoqing led people to start picking pumpkins
Yao Xiaoqing led someone to pick back the old pumpkin with a dark yellow color and no insect bite scars on the skin, store it in the cave, and put the scars outside to eat first.
A dozen people were busy for four or five days before picking back the ripe pumpkins, and the heavy pumpkins were placed in the cave and piled up half of the cave. There are still a lot of pumpkins and young pumpkins that are not yet ripe in the field.
Everyone looked at the pumpkins in the cave mountain, and they were all happy to bloom.
After picking the pumpkins, Ah Shui went to the field to look at the taro, "Xiaoqing, don't you dig the taro back and put it away?" ”
Yao Xiaoqing shook his head, "No, if you dig it back and eat it, it will rot, and when the taro stalk withers, just cut off the taro stalk." ”
Ah Shui nodded, "Yes, no one dug up those taro outside, and it didn't rot, it grew more and more." ”
Yao Xiaoqing nodded and said with a smile: "It's been busy for a few days, let's eat pumpkin pie tonight."
The brittle flower replied: "Hey! I've been wanting to taste what it tastes like. ”
"I'll go down the mountain to collect the fish cages and feed the ducks."
"Uncle Shui, put the small fish and shrimp in the pond and raise them before eating."
"Got it." Ah Shui went down the mountain in a hurry.
Yao Xiaoqing picked a dozen scarred pumpkins and cut them, dug out the pumpkin seeds inside, squeezed them clean and dried them in a dustpan.
The flowers and taro exclaimed: "There are so many seeds growing in one pumpkin, no wonder you said that you want to exchange ten sheep!" ”
Yao Xiaoqing glanced at them arrogantly, "Of course, when did I deceive someone." ”
Wash the pumpkin, sliced and steamed, press it into pumpkin puree with a wooden spoon, add Poria powder and scoop some lard in it, knead it for a while and roll it out with a rolling pin, then cut it into cubes with a bamboo knife, put it on the steaming grid and steam.
After steaming, the pumpkin and poria cake are golden in color, and several people taste the taste with a hint of sweetness, and it is soft and delicious.
The flowers and taro couldn't stop nodding, "It's delicious, it's so sweet!" ”
Yao Xiaoqing didn't think it was sweet enough, "The taste is a little lighter, let's go get some honey when we come back, it will be more delicious to add it." ”
Speaking of honey, Hua remembered that Dashi was stung into a pig's head by a bee when he stole honey, and shook his head and said, "That thing hurts to death." ”
Yao Xiaoqing nodded, "Let's go back when I think of a way." ”
When Yaohu and the others came back, they ate pumpkin and poria cake, and they all liked this taste.
Yaohu looked at the pumpkin in the cave, smiled and said to the people behind him: "When winter comes, we don't have to worry about running out of food to eat." ”
"Yes, we're not afraid of winter." Everyone laughed.
The bull said loudly: "This winter, let's have a good winter and have a baby." ”
He smiled and said, "I have to wait for the house to be built!" ”
Yaohu smiled: "Everyone work hard, it won't be long before everyone has their own room." ”
The men replied aloud, "Yes, chief." ”
Since Yao Xiaoqing saw Yan Yu at the foot of the mountain, he thought that Mu Ya was now in the Great Wu Tribe, and felt that Mu Ya would definitely reveal the situation in the tribe to the Great Wu Tribe.
Back at the bottom of the mountain, Yao Xiaoqing found Yaohu and told him about his worries.
After hearing this, Yaohu nodded and said: "Mu Ya is a poisonous snake, Father shouldn't have let her go for the sake of Mu Ba's face." ”
"It would be a curse for such a person to keep her in the tribe, unless he killed her to prevent future troubles. Father, the food we have stored can be eaten until next summer, we should leave more people in the tribe, Ah Shuibo, they should also practice archery more, put bows and arrows in easy to reach positions, prepare bamboo ladders, once we find them attacking, we will do it. ”
Yaohu nodded, "A lot of bows and arrows and stone spears have been prepared, and Father has already asked people to move all down the mountain, and I will rearrange the manpower." From tomorrow onwards, I will also arrange for people to guard the forests below the mountain! ”
Yao Xiaoqing added: "We live in it now, and Chai He must be well prepared, in case people are surrounded inside, there will be no Chai He to cook food." ”
Yao Hu saw that Yao Xiaoqing had thought so much in a short period of time, and he felt a little sad. He felt that it was the Giant Bear tribe that killed her mother and two brothers that made her so cautious and vigilant.
stepped forward and rubbed her balls and said, "Xiaoqing, don't worry, these fathers you said will be handled by people, you go to bed first, and I'll talk to Dashi about them." ”
Yao Xiaoqing knew that Yaohu wanted to go somewhere else, but he didn't say much, nodded and went to the bathroom to wash.
After a few months, she ran out of toothpaste and shampoo, even though she was already very economical. Brushing your teeth can be solved with salt, but if you don't find soap, you can only use plant ash to wash your hair. Animal fats and fats have to be kept for food, and where are they willing to be used to make soap.
Yaohu went over and gathered the men together and told them about the situation. Everyone understands that the tribe is willing to reduce the rest time and intensify the practice when they can live a stable life.
Yaohu arranged the manpower, lit the bonfire and practiced with them for two hours before falling asleep.
Early the next morning, Yaohu arranged for the sentry in the woods on the back mountain and the north and south sides. Ah Shui and Ah Worm came back with people to cut down firewood and stock it up.
Yao Xiaoqing took advantage of the sun and took the taro and they all moved out the beans, millet grains, and flower beans that they had exchanged for and dried them in several yards.
The corn in the field was ripe, and it took them less than half an hour to collect all the flowers and taro.
Yao Xiaoqing saw that the two of them didn't know where to go, so he moved a long stone back and put it in the center of the courtyard. Grabbed a handful of corn grains and slapped them vigorously on the stones, and the grains fell into the yard dam.
Only a handful of millet grains were harvested from that small plot, and the yield was surprisingly low.
When the sun goes down, everyone goes through the sun-exposed millet through a sieve, and the plump particles are loaded into baskets and carried into warehouses for storage, so that more grain can be planted next year.
The beans and flower beans pick out the rotten beans that have been bitten by insects, deflat, store the plump ones for next year's seeds, and take the selected grains and rotten beans to feed the wild ducks and pheasants.
There were thirty or forty more wild ducks in the duck shed, and one or twenty pheasants, all of which were kept in the duck shed with their wings cut.
Yao Xiaoqing's Ancient Farm plan has taken another small step.
A few days later, in the evening, the people who gathered the rock salt returned to the tribe.
