033 Farming

Although tired, Lin Yan still accompanied Hua Hong to open up the wasteland every day.

It took more than half a month to clear out that piece of land.

About two acres of land, dry for more than half a month, just clean up the big weeds and miscellaneous trees, not completely cleaned, the ground has not been turned.

The miscellaneous wood that was cleaned up was put aside in the sun, and when it was dry, it was returned to be used as firewood.

Only a small patch of hairy chestnut trees remained in the ground, which was very obvious.

The hairy chestnuts are ripe, and the green fur on the outside is yellow and cracked, and they are ready to be picked.

For most of the day, picking the five baskets of hairy chestnuts, the mother and daughter laughed, only to feel that the fatigue on their bodies was swept away.

A few days ago, they picked the chestnut fruit and went back to roast and eat it, it was so fragrant, it tasted better than meat.

"Auntie, these hairy chestnuts have been eaten for a long time, and there are pikas raised at home, our food in the cold season should be enough." Lin Yan grinned and said, these chestnuts are big, and they are very filling to eat a few.

Hua Niang also felt that it was enough, but she still wanted to prepare more food, "Tomorrow A-Niang will go pick some wild fruits to make dried fruits." ”

"Okay, A-Niang, let's plant the hemp, there are still more than two months to the cold season, and we should be able to catch up with the harvest."

The ground blossomed, and the seed was sown quickly.

Lin Yan sowed a hemp seed half a meter away, and it was planted in less than half a day.

Looking at these two acres of land, Lin Yan was very satisfied, this was opened by her and A-Niang, and when the hemp matured, it must be a bumper harvest.

Back at home, the mother and daughter slept well before they felt alive.

Lin Yan lay on the kang and thought beautifully, most of this year has passed, and a lot of things have been done.

The house is there, and the land is there. You don't have to be cold in the cold season, and you're not afraid of starvation, so it's a little bit of a look.

Her mental power has reached the C level, and her physical perception is stronger and more acute.

Suddenly, I heard a familiar sound of footsteps, and after waiting, I heard Lao Hei's voice.

"Hua Hong, is Lin Yan here, I have something to do with her."

"In the house." As she spoke, Hua Hong entered the house, saw that her daughter had woken up, and asked her to go and see Lao Hei quickly.

"Lao Hei, what are you doing with me when you're here?"

"The new kiln has been built, the first batch of pottery has been fired, and the kiln is ready to be opened, let me ask you if you want to go and see it." Old Black laughed.

This batch of pottery has a variety of shapes, with ten large vats, which Lin Yan specially made to make, saying that it is very practical to hold water or other things.

Now that there is a house, there is a greater need for vats.

Lao Hei immediately arranged to do it, just when the new kiln was built, I burned a few together, and first saw how good it was.

This batch of pottery is mainly made of clay pots and dishes, and the large vats are additional.

There is an urgent shortage of all kinds of pottery in the tribe, and Lao Hei is urged to work every day.

Hua Bonus also came to be interested and went to the new kiln with them.

When they arrived, Mao Mu, Lin Yun and others arrived, and some people from the tribe also came to watch.

These days, Lao Hei is mainly in charge of the work of the new kiln, Mao Mu and Lin Yun are helpers, and he is also busy burning bricks and tiles, and other families in the tribe are also repairing their houses, and there is a great demand for bricks and tiles.

Today, the new kiln is opened, and several talents have gathered to witness this moment together.

In the expectation of everyone, Lao Hei said loudly: "Open the kiln." He personally opened the door of the kiln.

A few people went into the kiln and took out the newly fired finished product.

The color has not changed much, but the surface of the pottery is much smoother, and the texture has improved a lot.

The previous ones were just shoddy, barely usable, and always had an earthy smell, but this new product looks different.

Lin Yan picked up a cup and smelled it, it didn't taste good, and it was very good to start.

What she is looking forward to the most is those large vats, hoping that they can be of the same quality as these small pieces.

After seeing the vat with his own eyes, Lin Yan was completely relieved. Immediately said: "Lao Hei, my family wants two large vats, exchange them with hairy chestnuts and you." ”

"Okay, I'll give it to you, no need to change it." Of course Lao Hei was willing, the new kiln was thought up by Lin Yan, and he felt that it should be so.

Eight out of ten vats were finished, two of which were burned. This yield is already considered high.

The large vat is round, about half a meter in diameter, thin at the bottom and thick at the top, and one meter high, which is best used to hold water.

Of the remaining few, Lao Hei left two for his own family, two each for Mao Mu and Lao Lin's family.

The others also wanted it, so they could only wait for the kiln to be fired.

Lin Yan picked five more clay pots, ten dishes each, and six cups, all of which were needed at home.

Mao Mu and Lin Yun helped her move her things home, stuffed the kitchen, and Hua Hongle grinned, "Take a break and drink saliva." ”

Both of them are young men, and they are not tired of this little work, so they both refused, saying that they were still busy and hurried away.

Hua Hong looked very envious, "It's good to be a man, and I work hard." ”

"Auntie, my daughter is just as good. When I grow up, I will be strong and no worse than a boy. Lin Yan is also envious, the young man has strength and works neatly. Her current small body is completely incomparable.

The girls in the tribe are not weak when they grow up, and they can hunt and work the same way, and they are not inferior to men.

Half of the current hunting team is also made up of women.

Lin Yan had long found that the strength of the women in the tribe was relatively weaker than that of the men, but the gap was not too big.

Hua Hong said: "Okay, good, my son will definitely be able to grow strong." The vat is there, and A-Niang went to fill the water. ”

Loading water is also a hard job, and when the site was selected, I didn't dare to get too close to the Sun River, about two or three miles away.

The people who lived here had to fill the clay pots with water and bring them back in large baskets.

The Sun River is still farther away, and if it can lead a small branch, the water problem in the tribe can be greatly improved.

Thinking that the tribe is young and strong, it should not be difficult to lead a small river.

Lin Yan was about to go out when he saw the bonus, and said busily: "A-Niang, go to Huangye's house with me first." ”

"What are you going to do?" Hua Hong carried two large baskets, each containing four small clay pots.

"Something. A-Niang dropped me off and went to get water. ”

Hua Hong carried the basket, and Lin Yan followed her with her little short legs, walking through one street after another.

Most of the houses are bricked with courtyard walls and floor tiles, and only a few houses remain unrepaired.

Lin Yan felt that the people in the tribe followed the trend in a timely manner, and when they saw new things, they would immediately get them for themselves, which was good and made life much more convenient.

Huang Ye is sitting in the yard weaving straw shoes, she is old and can't do other work, but she is very good at weaving straw shoes, and she will weave straw shoes for her family if she has nothing to do.

Seeing Lin Yan coming, she immediately smiled and said, "Here, I made two pairs of straw sandals for you, and I'll take them back later." ”

"Okay, thank you, Grandma Huang." Lin Yan accepted it happily.

Hua Hong was a little embarrassed, "You are old, and it is not easy to weave straw sandals, so you don't need to give them to Lin Yan, keep them for your own use." ”

Huang Ye said: "It's specially made up for Lin Yan, don't give it to anyone." You go get busy, Lin Yan is here, I'm looking at her. ”

The bonus didn't say anything more, turned around and left.
