118 harvest season
A group of people carried baskets and baskets on their backs, and marched towards the pine forest with wooden sticks.
When I arrived at the pine forest, I found that the trees were full of pagoda-like pine pagodas, and the squirrels who collected the pine pagodas on the trees saw people scattering and fleeing.
Yao Xiaoqing pointed to the kind of pine tree that the squirrel collected, "Let's pick the kind of tree that the squirrel likes, it must be delicious." ”
Ah Worm replied: "Okay, let's climb up and beat the pine tower and come down." ”
Yao Xiaoqing picked one of the pine towers that he could reach, broke open the fish-scale pine cones, and saw the pine nuts hidden inside.
Take the pine tower and pat it in the palm of your hand a few times, and the large and full pine nuts will fall in the palm of your hand.
Ah Sen and Yaya saw the pine nuts in Yao Xiaoqing's hand, "Qinggu, are the pine nuts delicious?" ”
Yao Xiaoqing smiled and nodded, "It's delicious, be careful when climbing trees!" ”
"Hmm!" Like monkeys, the two climbed up the tree.
Yao Xiaoqing remembered the golden retriever, why hasn't this little thing been here for so long? Is it okay? Is it still in the Great Witch Tribe?
If you just make a phone call and send a video like you used to......
Ah Sen threw a pine tower in the back basket, interrupting Yao Xiaoqing, and she also picked up the pine tower below with a bamboo basket.
The pine pagoda that was picked back was spread out and dried in the yard dam for two days, and the scales of the fish on it were opened. Pick up a stick and hit the pine tower a few times, and the pine nuts fall to the ground.
Yao Xiaoqing picked up one and bit it open, feeling that there was a smell of pine oil, and there was a green and astringent taste wherever he ate, and it was crispy and uncooked.
Yao Xiaoqing and the others were busy picking pine towers, and Ah Sen and Yaya stayed in the tribe, drying the pine towers, beating the pine towers, and collecting pine nuts.
Everyone was busy in the pine forest for more than 20 days, and the pine tower that was collected back was full of sunburn on the roof.
Thinking of the livestock he fed, Yao Xiaoqing took people into the mountains and got back the green bar fruit that no one had eaten.
Shan Emu and Chun Emu were still in the woods, and found a handful of dried long beans, which looked a bit like cowpeas, and Yao Xiaoqing kept the seeds.
A burst of autumn rain and a burst of coolness, and after ten autumn rains, winter is coming. The weather is cold, and the nuts and beans in the mountains have been swept away, and no one can be seen on the mountain.
Yao Xiaoqing took Ah Worm Bo to the river, found a few round stones in those strange-shaped stone piles, and carried them back, intending to chisel them out and grind those nuts.
The sugarcane in the field should also be kept warm by soil to prevent it from freezing to death. The turnips in the radish field have grown, and you can already see the white and tender turnips.
Cut off all the taro stalks and make them into dried vegetables.
The pumpkin vines are plucked and tender, the old vines are cut down and manure, and everyone is so busy that their feet do not touch the ground.
The people of the Yaoshan tribe no longer went out to collect nuts, and Muba took a dozen or so people with dry food to hunt for food farther away.
Ah Worm and Ah Shui were busy reinforcing the firewood shed, and pheasants and wild ducks rushed to the pen to feed.
The houses in the tribe were almost finished, and Ah Chun and the others built kangs, painted the walls, and hardened the ground.
The women stayed in the tribe and were busy making fur clothes for winter wear, as well as thin leather underwear and fur mats designed by Yao Xiaoqing.
Yao Xiaoqing found that the fiber they used this time was different from the previous one, and it was a little yellow.
The thread is made of two strands of fiber, and is as thick as the thread of the quilt sewn by later generations.
She touched it and it was quite soft, and she pulled one and found that it was very tough, and it took a lot of strength to tear it off. She had a flash of inspiration in her mind, and she should be able to weave cloth with this!
Looking at the twine rolled on the kang, "Shanami, when did you get this thing?" ”
Shan Eminem smiled: "It was Ayun who found out, and it should be enough to make winter clothes." ”
Yao Xiaoqing thought about it for a while, but he didn't see Yun Emu do it!
"What did Yun Eminem use to make it?"
Sam looked up at her, "She said that the kudzu bark is much better than what we used before." ”
Yao Xiaoqing nodded, "Hmm! It's softer than the previous one! "Kudzu vine, kudzu cloth, could it be that the kudzu cloth of the ancients was woven from kudzu vine fibers? I'll ask Yun Eminem later, how did you do it?
Seeing that they were struggling to sew and mend with bone needles, Yao Xiaoqing went back and took out the sewing box from his backpack. It was a boxy, big red, cloth-topped box that was a little bigger than a compact box.
Yao Xiaoqing gently stroked the sewing box, and tears fell involuntarily. After a while, he unzipped the box, took out the plastic box containing the needle and thread, twisted it, and took out a thick needle from it.
Put away the sewing box, take the thick needle to the east wing and give it to Shan Eminem.
"Eminem, this is for you to sew winter clothes."
Shan Amu took it and looked at it, it turned out to be a bright bone needle, and looked at her in surprise, "Xiaoqing, this is given to you by the gods?" ”
Yao Xiaoqing had to nod, "Hmm! You guys use this faster, I'll go to Yun Eminem. ”
Shan Amu replied respectfully, "Yes, Qingwu." ”
Yao Xiaoqing found Yun Amu and told her what he meant.
Yun Amu smiled, "Ah worm, they cut down the kudzu vines that were piled up there, and took the thin ones to tie the duck shed, and the thick ones were piled there." Hua and I thought about peeling off the vine skin and rolling it into a rope. ”
After opening it, I found that the rattan skins that were torn off by the rain bubbles piled down below could only be torn into a thin one, and the flowers said that it was just right to sew winter clothes. We soaked it all in the ditch and tore it off and kneaded it into a thin rope. ”
"Oh!" Yao Xiaoqing suddenly realized that it was made by accident, and he could only wait for next year to cut the kudzu vine.
Oyster ash and red bricks were enough, and the dozen or so kilns were empty. Yao Xiaoqing led people to start burning charcoal, put those green bars into the kiln, and after burning red, use clay to block all the holes of the kiln, and the charcoal could be taken out every other day.
The next day, they came back from the woodwork that had gone out to hunt.
More than a dozen people brought back a lot of prey, deer, roe deer, wild boars, ......, Yao Xiaoqing's favorite is the few that Mu Feng carried back, the cabbage that was not very tightly wrapped and loosely held in his hand.
"Brother, where did you find this? Is it more? ”
Mu Feng thought for a while, "There are not many of them in the mountains where I used to walk for a day, so I brought these few back if I couldn't bring them." ”
Yao Xiaoqing decided to go there and have a look, "I'll go with you tomorrow." ”
Mu Feng nodded briskly, "Okay!" ”
At night, Yao Xiaoqing told Yao Hu about hunting with Mu Feng. He looked at her and said with some anxiety: "It will take four or five days to go back and forth, and the road is very bitter." ”
Yao Xiaoqing smiled: "Don't be afraid, I want to go and see if there are any other seeds there." ”
Yaohu saw that she had to go, so he had to tell Mu Feng to take a good look at his sister.
Early the next morning, Yao Xiaoqing brought a solar flashlight, herbs, notoginseng, salt, and a kettle, put on a newly-made dozen leather pants, and followed Mu Feng and them towards the mountains to the south.
As you walk down the river, the dense bush has thinned out, and the mallards and waterfowl are gone. At noon, everyone ate jerky by the river and began to go up the mountain.
