Chapter 203: Chief Amu is puzzled
The jungle tribe, Amanlin has finally returned home.
"Father, look at it, look at it, I did it!" There's nothing more to be proud of than giving it to your family and making it yourself.
"Well, can this pot cook broth?" Chief Amu looked at this black guy carefully, obviously different from the pot his son carried back last time.
"You can cook the broth, Father, it's made out of mud and burned in a stone." If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, who would have guessed that such a hard and smooth pot would be made of mud?
"Mud? Is it really mud? "Chief Amu, they haven't seen pottery yet, and the stone pot and stone axe are their usual tools.
Mud can make pots?! He was eager to learn the craft.
"It's mud, I've learned it, my friend's father will come to help us build a stove after a few sunsets, and we can make as many pots as we want in the future!"
Aman Lin blinked, hoping to get praise from his father and mother, and sure enough, as soon as he said this, the whole family rejoiced.
"Brother, you're amazing!"
"Brother, friends are so nice!"
Amanlin was triumphant, if there was a tail that would have to be cocked, he finally released a great piece of good news:
"Father, my friends have been planting a lot of plant rhizomes lately, and they say they were brought from a distant land. When these plants grow rhizomes, they will give them to our tribe for us to plant too. ”
"Are they willing to give us something so valuable? What do we need in exchange? "Chief Amu was stunned by two good news in a row, he has lived for so many years, where has he ever encountered such a good thing?
"Father, my friends said that there is no need to exchange, and they will give it to us for nothing! They're all digging for jaunds! This is what Aman Lin is most happy about, his friends are generous enough to him, and he will send it when he says it.
Chief Amu was more satisfied with Amanlin, this son had been running away with his friends for so long, not only bringing him back a surprise, but also solving his long-standing doubts.
He said, these people have to find something when they come, it turns out that those jazzards are rare. It's not that they are digging on their territory, the big tree tribe has agreed, and they have no opinion.
However, this is to help them make a furnace and tell them about the planting of plant roots, but they have nothing to exchange for their friends. Chief Amu needs to think about what to send to his friends.
After three days, Heiwa really brought a dozen soldiers to the jungle tribe to help them build a kiln. Amanlin was busy and introduced them to Chief Amu what this was for.
When he was making the embryo body, his brothers were eager to try it and wanted to pinch a pot of their own.
But their hands and feet are not so flexible, and Aman Lin kept shaking his head, disgusted to death.
Chief Amu had the hunters of the tribe come back with a lot of live creatures, and of course he had to offer the freshest meat to his most honored guest, and what meat was more delicious than slaughtering and eating it?
It took two days before and after the kiln and the embryo body, and made an appointment with Chief Amu that they would come back to the kiln after six sun days.
When they returned to the base camp, Chief Amu also loaded them with a lot of prey, full of sincerity.
In order to conduct experiments, they dug out more than a dozen acres of wasteland. The eastern coastline is characterized by a gradual increase in weather, with summers being hot and humid. Corn, sweet potatoes, potatoes and pumpkins are planted and they grow well.
Heiwa also cut the sweet potato vines on the river beach and planted them to two acres. In the face of everyone's doubts, he said: "These vines grow quickly, and there is nothing to cut down, if they can be planted, they can grow more sweet potatoes!" ”
Huang Shangshu also thought that this method was learned from the Inca Empire, and he did not object to it.
The rest of the people tossed with him, and if they could plant all these successfully, they would have saved a lot of food.
The shipwrecks who watched Zhongqinbo grow sweet potatoes shook their heads again and again, they had never seen such a farm, they had also eaten sweet potatoes, thinking that this thing was just like taro.
But they have no place to exchange sweet potatoes, and most of the goods they bring with them have been exchanged for gold and precious stones. There was a lot of food!
Different from the reaction of the ship merchants, there are many soldiers who actively help Zhongqinbo to farm, and Heiwa even smuggled some excellent varieties in the space, such as chestnut sweet potatoes, watermelon sweet potatoes, etc.
The sweet potatoes of the Inca Empire were really not very large, and they were not so sweet, and improved varieties were urgent.
The rest of the seeds were also more or less mixed in, his daughter-in-law's private collection.
These have been cultivated by them for many generations of coarse grains, and the varieties are genetically stable, ensuring that they are both delicious and productive.
Tomatoes, peppers and zucchini should also be planted, and the variety of vegetables they can eat is so small.
Most of the meat of wild animals is still relatively fishy, and only with chili peppers can these fishy smells be suppressed.
The sweet and sour tomatoes are delicious when eaten raw and cooked, and they are the worst, and they can be stored for a long time when boiled into tomato sauce.
Sweet potato Teng sweet potato leaves are the king of vegetables, Heiwa not only wants sweet potatoes as the staple food, but also points to the tip of sweet potatoes as the main dish.
How do you calculate, you have to stay in this place for at least half a year, and you can't live in a tent all the time?!
Keep burning bricks and tiles and build your camp!
Anyway, the sailors of Shield Fish Island pulled it out, and eight out of ten will do this job.
Finally, I survived for a month, and I took the time to help the jungle tribe and burn all the black pottery.
Heiwa finally had her own independent room, and she couldn't wait to find her daughter-in-law at night.
"Oh my God, what's happened to your hair? What do you wash it with? Cuihua looked at her man, tsk, this made a wild man.
"Mother-in-law, what else can I wash my hair here, it's normal not to wash it once for a few days, I can't wait to shave all my hair, it's really troublesome. It's summer here, it's hot and humid, no wonder the natives like to be naked, and they sweat when they go out. ”
Heiwa complained and sold miserably, his scalp was itchy, and he once wondered if it was lice.
"Hurry up and take a bath, wash well, I'll cook for you!" Cuihua is so disgusted that she doesn't want it, and if she continues to build it like this, she will not be far from lice.
This bubble soaked directly for an hour, and the whole body was like taking off several layers of skin, rubbing off a lot of dead skin.
Knotted hair, washed three times, and also used his daughter-in-law's conditioner for treatment, thanks to her daughter-in-law's shampoo and conditioner are odorless.
Here comes a thorough personal hygiene cleaning!
After tidying up, I ate a large pot full of kidney bean stewed fat sausages, and the side dish was a whole plate of pickled radishes, accompanied by a large bowl of white rice.
After eating, resting for more than ten minutes, and pouring a few sips of tea, he sighed comfortably:
"This time, we dug up a gold vein, daughter-in-law, this gold mine is so big that you can't imagine it, and the little gold in our space is not enough to see!"
Cuihua was envious: "That's South Africa, there are so many gold and diamonds, and they haven't been dug up in modern times." Husband, pigeon eggs! Pigeon eggs! Get me more, I don't dislike it at all! ”
"No hurry, no hurry, the gold mines have been dug up, will the diamonds be far away? I also planted all the corn, and left an extra way for these natives to live, and I will tell you about it, daughter-in-law."
Heiwa is also holding back a new thing, and can't wait to share it with Cuihua.
"Wow, is it really that hard to learn what these natives say? Are they so short? If you don't wear clothes, what do you do when you see a native? My eldest child doesn't have a needle's eye? ”
A woman's mind is different, and Cuihua's first thought is the difference between men and women, afraid that her sons will enter puberty early.
"I said what are you worried about, the female natives of the people have grass skirts to wear, not as unrestrained as the male aborigines, and the young men are used to it!"
This night, the couple who haven't seen each other for a few months can't take care of Xiao Biesheng's newlywed, Cuihua listened to it with relish, and in the end, she also told the man about the recent family and big things and small affairs.
After adjusting the alarm clock, they hurriedly returned to their respective bedrooms before the sky was bright, Cuihua was so tired that she couldn't open her eyes, and Mama Chun once wondered if the hostess was sick again.
Let Xiaoqiu stew some medicinal food for the master, and Cuihua smiled sullenly for a long time, and Mama Chun finally had the consciousness of her personal mother and knew how to be considerate of her.
In Beijing, there were a few light snows as soon as the winter moon came this year, and as soon as the weather was cold, spicy hot pot became the best choice.
The business of Shu Zhixia hot pot restaurant is booming, the colder the day, the longer the queue, and even the new franchisees this year are counting the silver.
Not to mention the four stores in Beijing as a directly operated store, there are many ladies who go to eat hot pot, and the private room is more attentive.
After this year's autumn harvest, Queen Gao's oyster sauce mill finally does not need to donate seafood.
Half of the production of oyster sauce was restored, and the other half of the workshops continued to process seafood, and the people ate the seafood issued by the imperial court for more than a year, and the people were satisfied.
The price is not expensive, and anyone can afford to buy kelp seaweed, and gradually, the business of these seafood is also very good. Who doesn't kill a few chickens, ducks and geese during the Chinese New Year?
The seafood is stewed with these poultry meats, and it is delicious! Even if you throw a handful of dried dried shrimp in the vegetable soup, the soup has a delicious taste.
"Niangniang, you are a good person with good rewards, we have donated dividends for a few years, and in the future, it is estimated that it will not take two years to earn it back!"
"I didn't think about it so much, and the original purpose of building the oyster sauce mill was to make a living for the families of those who were conscripted and feed more people. Making money is an unexpected joy, and in the face of national disasters, it is also a blessing for the oyster sauce mill to be able to donate some seafood to the people. ”
"Hey, mother, we're also blessed! If only the weather was good every year. ”
These conversations gave Xia Hongdi, who had just entered Kunning Palace, a positive one.
Xia Hongdi: My queen really has the grandeur of the mother of a country!
