At night, Yao Xiaoqing lay on the animal skin, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

When I woke up the next day, I only felt sore, I didn't even want to move, and I had to take a sickle to cut ramie.

Yao Xiaoqing moved his hands and feet and set off with the women of the collection team.

She took a dozen or so men, and she cut the ramie seeds and put them in a basket.

Shan Emu took a dozen people to harvest the hemp stalks, plucked the ramie leaves, cut down the ramie stalks in a bundle and tied them, and carried them back to pile them in front of the cave.

Mu Feng took the fish and the road with them, led the oxen to carry the hemp poles and kudzu vines back to the tribe, and soaked them in the pond.

Dozens of people were busy in the Shenmu tribe for three or four days before they got all those ramie and chestnuts back to the tribe.

Yao Xiaoqing looked at the mountains of pumpkins piled up in the cave, as well as yams, kudzu, and baskets of chestnuts stacked together.

She thought of the millet grains, beans, flower beans, dried meat, dried vegetables, and the corn that was about to be harvested in the storehouse at the bottom of the mountain, and felt that even if the cold winter was a little longer, she would not have to worry about running out of food to eat.

The walls of the Qingshan tribe's house have been built more than one person high, and it will not take two days to be capped.

The millet in the field will be harvested in a few days.

After descending the mountain, Yao Xiaoqing found Dashi and asked him to make a few thin iron knives.

Early the next morning, let them scoop up the hemp stalks from the pond.

After soaking the ramie stalks for a few days, the green skin on top has begun to rot, and a sour smell comes to the nose.

Yao Xiaoqing picked up a ramie stalk, picked out a head at the root of the ramie stalk with a bamboo knife, and then tore it hard to the end, and a ramie skin was easily torn off.

Next, place the ramie skin on a long wooden board, aim the knife with your right hand, and gently pump the ramie skin with your left hand, and the ramie skin will "sizzle" under the thin leather knife.

Yao Xiaoqing hurriedly scraped a few times before scraping the green skin on a ramie skin, revealing the white ramie silk inside.

After the scraped ramie silk is hung on the bamboo pole to dry, it is then split into fine hemp threads when it is free.

Everyone watched Yao Xiaoqing peel a few pieces, and then began to peel the hemp, at first they were a little hurried, and after peeling off a few ramie skins in a row, the movements became proficient.

It is much more difficult to peel the hemp and scrape the blue, and the ramie skin is often scraped off if the force is improper. scraped more than a dozen in succession, and the action was neat.

After Yao Xiaoqing found out that they had learned, her movements were much neater than hers, and she said with a smile: "Church apprentice, starve the master, I still go to dry hemp silk." ”

Mountain Amle looked at her, "Go! You've also been tired for days, go play for a while. ”

"I'll hang the ramie upstairs."

Yao Xiaoqing dried the ramie upstairs, and turned his head to see the persimmon tree outside the wall. Suddenly remembering a few persimmons in the jar, he hurriedly ran back, carried the jar to the yard, and found that the persimmons in the jar had rotted into a lump.

"Alas! It's really disappointing, and the good persimmon is ruined like this. ”

Yao Xiaoqing carried the jar to the manure pond at the back, poured the chaff and rotten persimmons into it, cleaned the jar by the ditch and carried it back.

Halfway through, she saw Bi and Douzi standing sticky in the alleyway, and she turned around and wanted to leave.

"Xiaoqing, what are you carrying a jar for?" He said with a red face.

Douzi turned around and saw Yao Xiaoqing, his face was like blood spraying, red to the root of his ears, "Xiaoqing, I ......"

"I'll take out some garbage in the manure pond, you two don't have to worry about me." Yao Xiaoqing ran away in embarrassment.

Douzi watched Yao Xiaoqing run like a jackal chasing her, and kicked her angrily, "It's all your fault!" After saying that, he turned around and left.

Bi looked at her back, scratched his head, muttered a few words, and turned to walk towards the refining room.

Douzi returned to the open space next to the cafeteria, found Yao Xiaoqing, and said with a red face: "Xiaoqing, I ......"

Yao Xiaoqing looked at her with a smile, "Don't let me go, when Sugu is harvested, I'll match you up." Now hurry up and get to work. ”

"Hey!" The bean blushed, picked up the ramie stalk and peeled it.

When the sun went down, Jiang Li and Mu Feng walked in with five wild boars. Good fellow, all fat and strong, the largest wild boar is probably five or six hundred pounds.

Mu Feng roared: "Eminem, I haven't eaten roasted taro from pig's large intestine for a long time, and I eat roasted large intestine at night." ”

Jiang Li looked at him in surprise, "Mu Feng, can the pig's large intestine be delicious?" How smelly! ”

"You haven't even eaten braised large intestines!" Mu Feng looked at Jiang Li like a hillbilly, "Bao you eat it once and want to eat it a second time!" ”

Yaya came out of the cafeteria, "Wow! It's a fat wild boar, I haven't hit a wild boar for a long time, Uncle Mu Feng, where did you catch it? ”

Mu Feng smiled triumphantly, "I hit five heads in a mountain hollow and ran two." ”

Yun Emu said with a smile, "You quickly open the pork belly and get the large intestine out, let's go wash it, Eminem will do it for you." ”

"Good!" Mu Feng and Jiang Li carried the wild boar to the stone slab next to the vegetable field. Jiang Li and Mu Feng took machetes to disembowel their stomachs, and Mu Ba and Leopard cleaned up the contents of the pork belly.

Plate oil, flower oil, pork loin, pork liver, pork belly, large intestine and small intestine are all packed separately into wooden basins.

The spears and wolves chopped the meat into strips, scalded the pig's head and legs with boiling water, scraped and cleaned, and then burned and scraped again.

Yun Amu put the pig's head into a jar, blanched and cleaned, and boiled with bay leaves, grass coar, ginger, pepper, chili pepper, and green onions. Chop the pork leg into small pieces, blanch the water, put it in a jar, and then add soybeans and ginger rice to stew.

The woman with the food team carried the pig's offal, cleaned it, blanched it, and then stir-fried it and added bay leaves...... Braised up.

When the meal was served, Jiang Li looked at the pig's large intestine burned with taro, and tried to clip a chopstick, the taro was soft and glutinous, and the large intestine was soft and tender and glutinous and chewy, but there was no peculiar smell.

Mu Feng looked at Jiang Li and pinched it a few times in a row, and looked at him with a smile, "It's delicious!" In the past, we threw away all the contents of the pork belly, and after Xiaoqing made it for us to eat, everyone liked to eat it. ”

Jiang Li nodded honestly, "Hmm! It tastes good and I like it too. Stewed soybeans with pork head and pork knuckles are also delicious. He secretly glanced at Yao Xiaoqing, how could she do anything?

Yun Amu said with a smile: "Leader Jiang Li, we have also refined lard, and when you move back, bring a jar back." ”

Heiba had a bitter face, "Leader Yaohu, we don't want to go back to eat, and in the future, we will fight wild boars and cook them here with you, okay?" ”

Yaohu laughed when he heard this, "Okay! Then we're taking advantage of it. ”

Everyone laughed. A dark-looking woman from the Qingshan tribe secretly kicked Heiba.

Heiba glared at her, "Qiu, what are you kicking me for?" ”

The woman pretended not to hear and ate heavily.

After eating overnight food and lighting a bonfire, Yao Xiaoqing thought that it would be almost cool in autumn, so he asked Ah Worm and them to salt the meat.

Dozens of women peeled the hemp and scraped the green together, and they were busy until midnight before they finished peeling all the ramie, scraping the green, and drying it upstairs.
