Traveling through ancient times to farm and build infrastructure

Chapter 317 Chapter 317 Pine Forest Collection
After all the land of the Yaoshan tribe was planted, Jiang Li led people into the mountains to cut firewood and prepare to build a pier.

A Zongbo led people to start firing the kiln, and several people were optimistic about the place to start construction next to the kiln and dig another kiln.The wolf took dozens of men and continued to build walls, warehouses and drying yards.

Ahe took a dozen old uncles to the bamboo forest to dig bamboo shoots, and then went back to make sour bamboo shoots and dry them in the sun.After the Niu tribe met with other tribes, they also dug back. After cooking and eating, they felt a little bitter, and stopped going after two meals.

A Chun, A Gen and several old uncles from the breeding team were also busy nesting the chickens and ducks.There are also rabbits. There are fewer cubs in winter, but there are also many.

Yaohu asked Mufeng and Zhu to take two small teams of warriors, as well as A Chongbo, to the Wuxian tribe with their plowshares, plowshares, and axes and machetes.

Shi Shan and You Lu looked at them in surprise, "Wu Feng, who are you?"

Mu Feng looked at them with a smile, "Uncle Shi Shan, my father asked us to plant the land for you."

"Thank you! Thank you Father, thank you brothers." Shi Shan and You Lu hugged Mu Feng and Pig gratefully, tears streaming down their faces.

They have run out of salt to exchange for food, and hundreds of people in the tribe need to eat and drink.The best way is to cultivate land and raise livestock like the Yaoshan tribe, in order to feed the tribe.

Mu Feng and Zhu scratched their heads embarrassingly, "Father (the leader) said that our two families are allies and should help each other."

"Yes! We are allies." Shi Shan nodded gratefully, and asked people to prepare food.

A Chongbo helped them plow the land, Mu Feng and Zhu led people to cut down trees, and helped Shi Shan sow the saved seeds.

Mu Feng returned to the tribe and led two teams into the mountain to continue digging for salt.

After finishing the work in the field, Yao Xiaoqing went to the orchard to look around. Most of the fruit trees were frozen to death, and only half of them survived.She was so distressed that she had people pull out the dead fruit trees.

Half a month has passed in a flash, and it was already hot at this moment last year.But this year's temperature is still lower than in previous years, and it is comfortable to live a life that is neither hot nor cold.

Yao Xiaoqing was so worried that she couldn't sleep well. She had heard the old man in her family say that she was neither cold nor hot, and that there was no grain and no knot.

I'm afraid that if the weather is still not hot in the summer season, crops such as millet and beans will affect the harvest in autumn due to lack of sunlight.

Yaohu woke up and saw that the light was still on in Yao Xiaoqing's room, so he knocked on the window, "Xiaoqing, you've been tired all day, why don't you take a rest?"

"understood."

Yao Xiaoqing blew out the oil lamp, lay on the bed and thought for a long time, and decided to leave the two teams to grow vegetables, weed, catch insects, and water fertilizer in the tribe, and send all the other people out to dig poria cocos in a further place.After making a decision, she fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Yao Xiaoqing arranged for warriors to guard the women of the collection team, and went to further hills to collect Poria cocos, kudzu root, and taro.

Everyone set off in several directions, and Yao Xiaoqing took the women from the teams of Shan'am and Bao'am from the north into the mountain to find pine forests to dig Poria cocos.

A group of more than 50 people and two small teams of warriors led four cows and went further afield with dried meat and salt.

Xiong Niu and Muba led them upstream along the river, and along the way they encountered several small tribes of warriors who came out to hunt.

They stopped Muba and said with a smile: "Are you bringing so many women with you and leading the cattle, are you planning to go into the mountains to collect food?"

Muba smiled and nodded, "The wild vegetables by the river have all been collected, we want to go to the mountains to have a look."

"Yes!" The man sighed bitterly, "I don't know where the wild animals in the mountains have gone. We only captured a few goats and badger pigs in the mountains."

"We didn't catch any prey when we went into the mountain, so we wanted to go into the mountain to collect wild vegetables to fill our stomachs." Muba said.

Both groups sighed and walked towards their respective destinations.

Everyone followed the hunting team and walked through the mountains for a day before arriving at the pine forest where Muba and the others had been.

Muba pointed to the Aodi under the pine forest, "Xiaoqing, Jiang Li said that there are jujube trees over there, and we planned to collect them last year."

Yao Xiaoqing nodded, "We'll go over there to have a look after we've dug up the poria cocos."

"Okay." Muba turned his head and said to Shan'am and the others: "Amu, you follow us, don't run too far, we can help you if you encounter fierce beasts."

Shan Amu nodded with a smile, "Understood, you can rest assured!"

Poria cocos has never been collected in the forest here. After everyone went in, they only found dead and withered pine trees, and after removing the shrubs and vines, they could find Poria cocos under the tree.

There are many dead pine trees in the forest, and a full basket was collected in a short time.

Asu picked up a piece of Poria cocos the size of a washbasin with a smile on her face, "Xiaoqing, look at this piece, it's only half of what was dug under this tree. The Poria cocos here is big and good."

Yao Xiaoqing looked at the muck on her face and laughed, "That's right, this is the second piece I dug today, a big Poria cocos. Everyone search hard, and after you have found all these pine forests, the Poria cocos you brought back will be Enough for us to eat for a long time."

Leopard Ah Mu sighed at the side: "Xiaoqing, it would be great if this thing can be grown. We plant a large area in the tribe, so we don't have to worry about food!"

Yao Xiaoqing smiled and said, "Mum, I really can't do anything about it." She had heard from her father before that the poria cocos planted was not effective, so there were poria cocos planted there, but she had never seen how it was planted. .

A group of people had been busy in the forest for a day, and the tuckahoe collected filled the bamboo baskets on the panniers.

Before dark, everyone cut down dead pine logs for firewood.

Pull out the leather tent, tie it between the big trees, and put a leather mat on it.

The bull led several warriors to take the hunted hares and pheasants to the stream to peel and clean them.

Asu and the others spread the seasoning, and everyone roasted rabbit meat and pheasant around the campfire.

Muba brought the oxen and tied them next to the campsite. A group of people had eaten roasted rabbit meat and pheasant, and prepared to rest.

Yao Xiaoqing leaned against a pine tree hugged by several people, closed her eyes and meditated.

Squeak!Squeak!The cry rang above Yao Xiaoqing's head.

Shan Amu pointed at the top of her head in surprise, "Xiaoqing, do you think that is a golden retriever?"

Yao Xiaoqing stood up and looked up, and saw three golden-haired monkeys on the tree, two big ones, one small one, and a big golden-haired monkey watching her scratching her ears and cheeks.

"Golden Retriever, is that you?"

"Zhizhi!" The golden retriever jumped down from the tree, and looked at Yao Xiaoqing with a smile on her face.

Yao Xiaoqing looked at the golden retriever that was standing up and almost reaching her chest, "You little bastard has grown up already!" Pointing to the two on the tree, "Is that your wife and child?"

The golden retriever turned his head to look at the two golden monkeys on the tree, squeaked twice, and the older one jumped down from the tree with the younger one, standing beside the golden retriever and looking at her.

Yao Xiaoqing patted Jin Mao's head, "What should I do? In this barren mountain, my sister can't get some delicious food for your wife and children. How about you go home with my sister?"
