Yao Xiaoqing nodded, "Yes, in the bushes under the mountain, let's dig it up tomorrow morning." ”

"Got it," Yaohu said with a smile to her, "go back and change your clothes." ”

"Hey!"

Yao Xiaoqing went back to take a bath, changed into slightly thicker clothes and pants and came out, thinking of the wheat seeds in the wheat field, the rain was so heavy, I had to go to see if the ditch was dredged, there was too much water, and the wheat seeds would be soaked.

She carried her hoe to the wheat field, and saw that Shanami and the two women were already busy in the wheat field.

When Shan Amu saw her at the edge of the field, he waved his hand at her, "Xiaoqing, you don't have to go down to the field, that's fine." ”

Yao Xiaoqing turned to Shan Amu's side, "Eminem, it's raining heavily, and it's getting cold all of a sudden, can Kudzu vine peel hemp?" ”

Shan Amu smiled: "If you don't say that I forgot, let's go back and have a look." ”

Yao Xiaoqing nodded, "Okay." ”

Shan Eminem came up with a hoe, and the two of them walked towards the ditch.

It rained heavily, and the water in the ditch rose quite a bit.

Shan Eminem scraped off the mud on his leather shoes with bamboo chips, and the two went to the pond along the edge of the ditch, only to see the water in the pond flowing out, Ah Sen and Ya Ya were fishing in the ditch with a net.

"Yaya, Asen," Shanami cried out, "have you two driven the cows and sheep back into the pen?" ”

"Rushed back." Yaya ran to the two of them with a copy net, and looked at the two with a smile, "Qinggu, Damu, we caught several big fish." ”

"Ah Chunbo, did they go to the river to get the fish cage?" Yao Xiaoqing suddenly remembered that after the heavy rain, the water in the river must have risen, and Ah Chunbo and a few people would have trouble getting fish cages by the river.

"Qinggu," Asen came over with a bucket, "don't worry, it's starting to rain before they leave." ”

"Oh!" Yao Xiaoqing nodded, and saw that there were already four or five big fish in the bucket, "You two don't play in the water, quickly bring the fish back." ”

"Got it." The two of them got down and walked away with the bucket.

Shan Amu used a hoe to scoop up the kudzu vine from the ditch, and saw that the green skin on the kudzu vine had been washed away, revealing the gray-white kudzu skin.

Shan Amu smiled: "Xiaoqing, it is better to soak kudzu vines in the ditch, there is no strange smell, the last time it was soaked in the ground, it can smoke and spit people out." ”

"I'll go get a basket, let's pick it back and cook it, pick it up and clean it, and then peel off a thin layer of gray skin from the kudzu vine, wash it and dry it to tear out strands of linen."

"Did those Ge Ma Si get it that way last year?" Yao Xiaoqing said.

Shan Emu thought for a moment, "I saw you boiling tree bark, so I pondered it." Also, the boiled hemp skin is soft, and the uncooked one is hard. ”

"Okay, how do you think it can be done, let's do it."

"Okay! I'll go back and pick up the basket. Shanami hurried away.

Yao Xiaoqing pulled up his trouser legs, stood on the bluestone slab bridge built on the ditch, hooked Ge Teng with a hoe and lifted it up.

After a while, Shan Amu and Ah Chunbo came over with grappling hooks, and it didn't take long for them to get all the kudzu vines out of the ditch.

After running back and forth a few times, I picked up all the kudzu vines and steamed them in a large tank.

Looking at the gray-white kudzu vine fished out of the jar, Yao Xiaoqing thought about putting some lime in it, and the kudzu vine with lime was really whiter when boiled.

Everyone was busy until dark, and then they steamed the kudzu vines and picked them to the ditch.

Put the kudzu vine straight into the ditch, press it with a stone, and you can peel it up tomorrow morning.

After eating the night food and returning home, Yaohu came back from a circle in the tribe, "Xiaoqing, the furnace has been turned off, and I will know if the tools have been formed tomorrow morning?" ”

Yao Xiaoqing is very confident in the mold he made, "Father, don't worry, it will definitely be formed." ”

Yaohu nodded, "Okay, you can rest and go!" ”

Yao Xiaoqing put his head on the pillow and fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Yao Xiaoqing and Yao Hu went to the refining room together, and the mold in the furnace was already cold.

Yaohu carefully picked up the pliers, took a long mold out of the hearth, and put it on the ground, "Xiaoqing, let's see what's inside?" ”

Yao Xiaoqing opened it and saw that there was a saw blade inside, "Father, this is a saw." As she spoke, she picked up a hammer and smashed the mold, and the saw blade fell out of the mold.

Yaohu laughed happily, "It's really done, it will save a lot of trouble in the future!" ”

"Yes! Especially this kind of saw blade, I can't think of any way to make it. ”

Yao Xiaoqing smashed all the molds that Yao Hu clamped out, the hammer, file, chisel, etc. were all formed, and the axe and planer only needed to grind out the edge.

"Alright! I have to go and see if the kudzu is rinsed, and I have to peel the hemp and dig the soil melons today! ”

Yaohu waved happily, "Go!" I'll do it here. ”

Yao Xiaoqing nodded, went to the ditch, and saw that Shan Emu was standing on the stone bridge with a few women, scooping up Ge Ma and putting it in a basket.

After a night of washing, the kudzu has been washed clean.

Shan Amu raised his head, "Xiaoqing, Ah Worm took Ah Chai and a few people in the cafeteria to wait for you to dig up soil melons!" ”

"Okay, I'll go."

Yao Xiaoqing went back to get up in the canteen with a shovel, took a few worms to carry a basket, took a shovel and a hoe, and went out together towards the mountain.

When they arrived at the shrub with melons, they collected the seeds before they began to dig for them.

More than a dozen people, running back and forth twice in the afternoon.

Before dusk, I got all the melons back and piled them up in the warehouse.

******

Jiang left them busy on the mountain until the afternoon, he calculated the weight of each person, and took a dozen people down the mountain to harvest, but it took more than an hour, and one person carried a prey back to the rock.

The group was busy until dark, and then all the prey was collected and piled on top of the cowhide with salt.

The bobcat's barrel bones were put into the basket, and the others were hung on the rocks in the cave with ropes.

Mu Feng looked at the mutton fat, butter and animal fat thrown there, and thought that Yao Xiaoqing needed to make soap, so he said to Shan: "Uncle Shan, let's bring back that oil too, Xiaoqing needs to use it to make soap!" ”

Shan nodded, "Okay, there are so many of us, one of us will carry a little more, and we will bring it back." ”

Mu Ba also said on the side: "Uncle Shan, let's bring back the lamb tripe and sheep intestines, and we can eat two meals of stewed radish." ”

Shan laughed after hearing this, "I see that you all want to take everything back, otherwise, let's wash it out first, and take everything we can with you when we leave." ”

The bull shook his head repeatedly, "Then forget it!" I'm tired and half dead and can't take it away, how distressed! ”

Jiang Li said with a smile: "Everyone can wash it with confidence, and one person can bring it all with a little more." ”

After hearing this, the bull said happily: "If we can't take it away, we will give it all to Jiang Li." ”

Jiang Li smiled and nodded unhurriedly, "Don't worry, you can definitely take it away." ”

After hearing this, everyone picked it up, took everything they liked to eat and could eat, and washed it, and they were busy until midnight.

I slept until dawn, and then I got up and put my things into the back basket, and each back basket was full.

A group of men walked along the cliff face towards the mountain with a weapon in one hand and a wooden stick in the other.
