By the time all the work was done, Lin Yan's family had changed greatly, and there was no longer the original sense of emptiness.

In addition to the kang, some sundries were piled up in the left and right rooms.

The middle room is like that for the time being, and it will be changed slowly later.

The kitchen was the fullest, with clay pots and other cooking items piled up, as well as a pile of firewood.

The yard is made of bricks, about 20 square meters, which is specially used to raise pikas.

This is a staple food source for the family, and until other food is found, Lin Yan never dares to ignore the breeding of pikas.

For safety, several families built a courtyard wall with bricks, leaving only a doorway and blocking it with a fence.

In this way, each house is a separate courtyard, surrounded by a brick wall, and it feels a lot safer.

While several families were busy repairing, other members of the tribe came to watch and began to repair their houses.

After the house was repaired, it was already June, and the domestic pikas had already given birth to a litter, which became eight.

Halfway through the year, the bonus is busy preparing for the cold season.

Lin Yan looked at A-Niang who was busy non-stop, and said busily: "A-Niang, when you go hunting, don't kill the pika, whether it is a cub or not, bring it back alive and raise it." Pikas reproduce quickly, as long as we catch a few more alive, we have a lot of pikas in the cold season, and we don't have to worry about eating at all. ”

In these months, Lao Lin went to the net from time to time to catch fish, and every time he had a full harvest, he would give some to Lin Yan's family, and the bonus occasionally went out to hunt, and the prey and wild fruits brought back were enough for the family.

In fact, Lin Yan has long discovered that eating is not rare. There are abundant materials here, as long as you are not lazy, you will not starve to death.

In the past, it was too cold in the cold season for people to go out, so they were busy stocking up on food.

Now that the conditions are improving, it is enough to breed pikas and pick wild fruits to make dried fruits, which is enough to cope with the cold season.

She found Lao Hei, Mao Mu and Lin Yun to study and build a good kiln together. She has the drawings of the kiln, as long as it is built according to the drawings.

This kiln has good sealing, controllable temperature, and uniform heating, and the pottery fired will be better.

As long as you find the material for the enamel, you can prepare the porcelain for firing.

Later, if you find the material for glass, you will be able to make glass by yourself.

Although there is a shortage of materials at the moment, the kiln is also very useful.

The eyes of the three of Lao Hei lit up, looking forward to the future described by Lin Yan.

There are bricks, there are drawings, and it is not a big problem to build a kiln. Lin Yan gave the things to Lao Hei and asked the three of them to go to work together to build the kiln.

The location of the kiln was chosen in the place where the clay was found, so that it was easy to obtain local materials.

The bonus went out for three days and brought back five live pikas, all fat, and one of them was about to give birth.

Lin Yan felt that it was almost over, so she pestered the flower red to open up the wasteland and plant hemp, and she also collected some seeds of wild fruits, including red apples and limes, and planned to plant them together.

I don't understand why we have to work hard to plant it, so it's better to sow the seeds and let them grow.

"A-Niang, get rid of the weeds, so that the things you plant can grow better and be easier to manage. Let's start with a small piece of land in Pikahara. When you see the benefits of planting, you won't regret it. ”

Bonus was skeptical, "Really? ”

Lin Yan nodded affirmatively, "You take me with you, let's find a good place first, remove the grass and trees on it, turn the soil over again, plant the seeds, and wait for the harvest." ”

"It's easy to say, but it's too much work to do. It's not easy to get rid of those plants and trees. Hua Hong was disgusted, and walked towards Pika Yuan with tools and Lin Yan.

"A-Niang, when you open up the wasteland to grow food, you don't have to hunt hard, now you are tired for a while, and you will enjoy happiness later."

"How can this kind of good thing be true, my ancestors have been hunting for a living for generations, and you suddenly said that you can have food when you farm, you really didn't coax A-Niang?"

"Not really. After a few months, A-Niang will know. ”

The pika was originally to the west of his home, and it took about ten minutes to walk.

Lin Yan let Hua Hong hold it and chose a piece of flat wasteland. There are no big trees in it, and there are relatively few bushes, which reduces the difficulty of clearing the wasteland.

Circle a piece of land, about 50 meters long and 30 meters wide, and the two began to work.

Hua Hong went to clean up the bushes, Lin Yan pulled weeds, and the grass here is all pikas love to eat, and it is not wasted.

She tried her best to feed, her little hands kept tossing, and she was sweating profusely.

I kept muttering in my heart, it was so hard. Since ancient times, it has been difficult to face the loess with her back to the sky, and she will not know the taste until she has experienced it herself.

Nearly an hour passed, and Hua Hong finally cleared out a miscellaneous tree and took Lin Yan to the next bush.

Lin Yan looked at these miscellaneous trees that looked the same, close to two meters high, and saw that A-Niang was about to make a move, so he hurriedly shouted: "A-Niang, don't do it, this is a good thing, you have to keep it." ”

"What's that?" The bonus stopped, looking at this small patch of mixed forest, something she had never seen before.

After the popularization of Lin Yan, she knows most of the grass and trees around the tribe.

Lin Yan was a little excited, when he just enclosed the land, he only felt that this piece of land was easy to clean up, but he didn't expect there to be such a surprise inside.

"A-Niang, this is the hairy chestnut tree, do you see the fluffy fruit on it, it is the fruit, you can fill your stomach when you pick it and eat it."

Lin Yan pointed to a hairy chestnut, the size of a baby's fist, and there were a lot of knots on a tree.

Hua Hong looked at it, it was really a fruit, she reached out and picked it, the green raw edge, no matter how you look at it, she can't eat it, "This is really edible?" ”

"I can eat it." Seeing that Hua Hong was about to stuff it into his mouth, Lin Yan hurriedly said: "It's not like this, you have to peel off the green fur on the outside, then smash the hard shell on the inside, and eat the innermost pulp." ”

Under Lin Yan's command, Hua Hong finally smashed open a hairy chestnut, the white and tender flesh, which was fragrant and smooth in the mouth, and the taste of wild fruit was very different.

Hua Hong's eyes lit up, "It's delicious." ”

The mother and daughter picked five or six hairy chestnuts and ate them, and their eyes were shining when they saw this piece of hairy chestnut tree.

Hua Hong said: "These are all chestnut trees, just stay, and I will clear the miscellaneous trees on the side." ”

"Uh-huh, Ah Niang, this piece must be stayed. After a while, the chestnuts will be ripe, and we will pick them back and roast them over the fire to make them more fragrant. These chestnuts can be stored for a long time and can be eaten in the cold season. ”

After cleaning up for a morning, the two of them came up with less than 20 square meters, and the hairy chestnut trees were not cleared.

With the two baskets of grass pulled by Lin Yan, I went home to eat, rested, and was full of enthusiasm for the bonus.

After seeing the hairy chestnuts, she felt that what Lin Yan said was right, as long as the wasteland was reclaimed, and other edible things were planted, she would take care of them often, and she would not worry about having nothing to eat.

Lin Yan was so tired that he didn't want to move.

It is too difficult to open up the wasteland, there are no tools, and I don't know when I can open up that piece of land by manpower.
