Yao Xiaoqing saw that the pool was already full of water, and several people cut the bast of the tree into short joints and put it into the pool to soak. Fortunately, the pond was built high enough to hold eight or nine baskets of tree bast.

She looked at the ramie that had been harvested and had not had time to cut off, and said to the beans, "You cut the ramie with the taro." ”

"Hey!" After the two of them answered, they took the machete and left.

Yao Xiaoqing hugged two large stones and pressed them against the bast of the tree. The bast of the equal tree is soaked and soft, and after it is cleaned, it is soaked and soaked with plant ash.

She went over to check the furnace and saw that the fire had been extinguished. Turned around and went to the refining room to get a pair of iron tongs out, and cut through the grass and wood ash to check the limestone.

I saw that the original black-gray limestone had revealed its snow-white essence after being fired.

Yao Xiaoqing took out the fired limestone and put it by the kiln.

Ah He looked at the white stones piled up next to the kiln in surprise, "Xiaoqing, these are the stones you put in the morning?" ”

Yao Xiaoqing smiled and nodded, "That's right! ”

Ah He smiled: "It turns out that after the stone is burned, it will turn white!" ”

Yao Xiaoqing shook his head, "Not all stones will change color when burned. ”

Ah He seemed to understand and let out an "oh".

Yao Xiaoqing took out all the limestone and put it aside.

I took a jar, scooped half a jar of water into it, and picked up a piece of limestone and put it in the water. After a few moments, the melted limestone bubbled and white vapor came out of the jar.

"It's finished." Yao Xiaoqing smiled and patted the dust on his hands.

Ah He's eyes widened, "Xiaoqing, what's going on." ”

Yao Xiaoqing couldn't explain to him what a chemical reaction was, because she couldn't figure it out herself. I had to warn him, "Hebo, after the limestone is soaked, it is as hot as boiling water, you must not reach out and touch it." ”

"I don't touch it!" Ah He looked at the sky, "Xiao Qingtian is dark, you go back to the cafeteria to eat food, and I will seal the furnace and go." ”

"I'm going to see if they've finished cutting the ramie?"

Yao Xiaoqing walked to the bottom of the pond, and Taro was holding a bundle of ramie stalks and throwing them into the water.

She looked up and saw Yao Xiaoqing, waved her hand and said, "Xiaoqing, you go back first, there is not much, we will go back after cutting the ditch." ”

"Then I'll go back first."

Yao Xiaoqing turned around and went home, washed his face and went to the cafeteria, where he saw several women from the Qingshan tribe standing at the door of the cafeteria.

When several people saw Yao Xiaoqing coming, they all laughed at her. Momiji said a little awkwardly, "The green witch is back!" ”

Yao Xiaoqing smiled and nodded, "Momiji has also learned what to say here." ”

Momiji smiled shyly, "Heiba, teach me!" ”

Yao Xiaoqing glanced at it with some surprise, Qiu, who was standing next to Hongye and laughing more ugly than crying, frowned, "What are you doing standing here?" ”

Momiji, "We are in such chieftains and black baba them." ”

"Oh!" Yao Xiaoqing smiled faintly and walked in.

Yun Emu carried the swill and walked out of the stove room, "Xiaoqing, Alin said that another sow is pregnant with a cub. The long-haired goat laid two lambs in the afternoon. ”

Yao Xiaoqing looked at her in surprise, "Okay! How many sows did you give birth to last time? ”

Yun Amu nodded with a smile, "There are more than a dozen little piglets, I heard that two died, and there are eight little piglets." ”

Yao Xiaoqing didn't expect the wild boar's reproductive ability to be so strong, "If it goes on like this, the pigsty will not be enough next year." Let's go! I'll go over with you and take a look, get the eggs back, pick some eggs and put them away. ”

"Eggs, what are eggs?" Yun Emu couldn't understand again.

Yao Xiaoqing said with a smile: "Breeding eggs are eggs that can hatch chicks and ducklings. ”

"Ahh Yun Amu looked at her in surprise, "Then can the eggs we usually eat hatch chicks and ducklings?" ”

Yao Xiaoqing looked at her surprised look and shook her head with a smile, "Not every egg can hatch chicks and ducklings." Holding the egg to the light, there is a small black shadow in it is a breeding egg, and what is not there is an ordinary egg. The eggs are back, and I'll teach you tomorrow. ”

Speaking of taking care of the eggs, Yao Xiaoqing's nose was a little sour, and she remembered that her mother was wearing reading glasses and selecting eggs under the electric light.

She has always admired the women of her mother's era and thinks they are really capable.

Makes all kinds of bean paste, pickles, pickles, bean curd tofu, as well as clothes, pants and shoes from head to toe, all the things that can be made by yourself at home come from her hard-working hands.

Yun Amu saw that she was deep in thought, and walked slowly with a swill on the side.

Before I knew it, I was at the back of the enclosure.

"Xiaoqing, the pigsty has arrived." Yun Emu said as he put down the bucket of swill and poured the swill into the jar.

Lin Bo walked over, with a joyful smile on his face, "Xiaoqing, come and see." Those little pigs are growing up fast, one day at a time. ”

Yao Xiaoqing approached the pigsty and saw several piglets with light brown fur and black stripes, stretching their round bodies and humming and chirping around the sow.

"Limber is good, these livestock are really strong."

Alin said happily: "You said that the leaves of the pig like to eat, I and the fire and a few people got a lot of leaves back, threw them in a circle to feed them, and dried a lot of them, and put them on it." After the leaves are dried, they will crumble when I pinch them with my hands, and I plan to mix them in pig food and feed them when the weather is cold and I can't find the leaves. ”

Yao Xiaoqing followed Ah Lin's point and saw that they had built a wooden house on the flat roof above the pigsty, and there was a bamboo ladder next to it.

"It's that I didn't think about it and forgot to build a place to store pig food. Lin Bo, the bamboo ladder is too slippery, I asked my father to build a staircase for you, and it is easy to go up and down. ”

Alin waved his hand and said, "Don't get in the way, we can still crawl now, and we'll talk about it when we can't crawl anymore." Look at the hairy goats, and there are six lambs, and one of the ewes has a lamb. ”

Looking at Allimbo's proud appearance, Yao Xiaoqing was also very happy, and asked with a smile: "In the summer, have you ever sheared wool?" ”

Alin nodded, "Sheared, I and the fire a few pressed the shear, a few long-haired sheep sheared, there are three baskets of wool." And the rabbits, we also pressed and cut them once. ”

Yao Xiaoqing looked at the short-haired rabbits, thinking about their bare appearance after being sheared, he couldn't help but laugh, and pursed his lips and said: "When you are busy these days, first knit a few wool vests and knee pads for your breeding team, and wear them on your body to keep warm." ”

Hearing Yao Xiaoqing's words, Ah Lin's happy mouth couldn't close. He shook his head again and again, "You don't need to weave for us first, you can weave for the leaders and warriors first, it's all up to them to protect us!" ”

Yao Xiaoqing saw his happy appearance and said with a smile: "Don't worry, those long-haired sheep who came back from hunting also have a lot of wool sheared." Weave first for the breeding team, and then weave for the hunting team. ”

Yun Amu stood aside with a smile, "Alin, we all have a good life." ”

Alin nodded repeatedly, "Hmm! I didn't dream of it. ”
