Traveling through ancient times to farm and build infrastructure

Chapter 337 Chapter 337 Canoe

Listening to Shi Shan's happy chatter, Yaohu remembered how he felt when he saw the pumpkins and millet harvested for the first time. He lay happily on the bed and stayed up all night with his eyes open.

Thinking how good Xiaoqing's mother and two elder brothers are still alive, no need to be hungry, no need to be afraid of giant bears to loot... But they are gone... The gods also think that he has never done anything bad things, I taught Xiaoqing those things, and let her come back to help them...

***
Jiang Li finally made a promotion that he was satisfied with, and went to find Yao Xiaoqing with it. After asking around, he found out that she brought people to pack pumpkins on the mountain.

He turned around and went up the mountain, and saw several old uncles walking up the mountain carrying baskets of old golden pumpkins, and the platform at the entrance of the cave was full of baskets.

The wooden shelves above are hung with large and small blue and white tender winter melons, as well as old winter melons covered with white ash, some of which are tied with ropes so that the vines will not be able to bear the weight of the melons.

The climbing vines against the wall bloomed with golden yellow and pink flowers, exuding a strong fragrance.Every lane in the tribe is full of this kind of flower. He remembered Xiaoqing saying that this kind of climbing vine can repel mosquitoes.

"Abbe, how is the pumpkin harvest this year?"

"A Cai said it was not as good as last year. Last year there were more seeds, and a lot of them were recovered." Old Abo said cheerfully, "This year, the ditch was opened, and next year we can harvest more pumpkins."

"Yes, the more you plant, the more you will reap." Jiang Li helped carry the basket into the cave.

I saw that the place that collapsed during the earthquake had been leveled out, and pillars were built with bricks to support it.

Yao Xiaoqing looked back and saw Jiang Li, and put the pumpkin in his hand, "Shengdou is ready?"

Jiang Li nodded with a smile, "Yeah! I'll ask Uncle Shan to make a few more according to this size for later use."

Yao Xiaoqing took Sheng and weighed it, "It's so light, you made it out of cork!"

"Yes, it takes a lot of time for so much food. The lighter the bucket, the easier it is for people."

"Be careful, let's talk at the entrance of the cave so as not to block them."

The two walked to the entrance of the cave, Jiang Li saw her steamed bun sweating profusely, and said softly, "A Genbo has tied up the bamboo raft, I plan to take people to the opposite mountain to hunt tomorrow morning."

Yao Xiaoqing frowned after hearing this, "I heard that the water in the river is very fast, can the canoe go there?"

Jiang Li shook his head with a smile, "It's okay, I learned how to maneuver a boat when I led the soldiers, and I took them all over after a few rounds. This year, there are too few wild animals here, and there are more beasts on the other side.

While the beasts are plump in autumn, we can hunt more and save some. "

Yao Xiaoqing had no choice but to nod, "Just hunt along the river, don't be greedy and go to the deep mountains. Who knows if there are prehistoric beasts there, and if you encounter them, you will have no time to escape."

As she said that, she thought of those monsters like hills in the movie.

"You're still waiting for me here." Jiang Li smiled slightly, "I just can't bear to be the fodder for wild beasts."

Yao Xiaoqing blushed a bit, "Anyway, it's okay to be careful. If you go tomorrow morning, you have to pack your things today. It's hot, you have to bring salt, as well as anti-mosquito bites, diarrhea, and heatstroke... ..."

Jiang Li carried the Shengdou and followed her, only hearing her crisp voice, but not at all what she said to prepare.

After going down the mountain and returning home, Yao Xiaoqing turned to look at him, "Who are you going to bring into the mountain? Do you want to call You Lu?"

Jiang Li thought for a while, "Mufeng is going to take the pig's team into the mountains to collect salt, so I will take Muba, leopard, big tree, bull, and Amon, and the rest will stay in the tribe. Youlu, Or call them!
"Shishan and Youlu are good people, and we can rest assured that we have them as allies. Even if other big tribes migrate over, the two families together will have the fighting power of thousands of people, and our pressure will be less."

Yao Xiaoqing nodded with a smile, "I saw that their father and son looked pretty good. Shi Shan seemed to like to take advantage of it, but after taking things from me, he always returned what he thought was the most valuable salt. You Lu also Like the kind of perverted ruffians of later generations. They are the ones who should not be described by their appearance."

Jiang Li said with a smile: "You know people, you know their faces, but you don't know their hearts. Only after getting along for a long time can you know a person's nature."

"That's right!" Yao Xiaoqing looked at him with a smile, "You arrange for the warriors to enter the mountain, and I will arrange for the needed items."

Jiang Li looked at her with a smile in his eyes, "Got it." After saying that, he rubbed Yao Xiaoqing's head, turned and strode away.

Yao Xiaoqing touched the messy ball head, depressed for a while, she likes to rub her hair, she is not a child of a certain age.

The two split up, and Jiang Li sent someone to inform You Lu that he went to the drying yard outside.

Seeing him coming, Ada stepped forward with a smile, "Boss Jiang Li, the canoe is ready. Come and see, will it work?"

Jiang Li said with a smile, "I can rest assured that Adabo will do things."

After hearing this, Ada happily followed him to the canoe, "It looks really good when it's done."

Jiang Li nodded with a smile. The canoe he led the people to dig had a pointed head and a square tail.The bilges were all gouged out.The whole canoe has a tip and an open tail, the tip is slightly upturned, and the stern is wide and flat. The traces of charcoal burning on the inner wall have been smoothed with a chisel, revealing the original grain of the firewood.

The bottom of the wooden boat was also burned with charcoal fire. He adopted the carbonization method mentioned by Yao Xiaoqing. He found that after carbonizing the wood, the color of the wood looked more primitive after planing.

"That's right!" Jiang Li nodded with a smile, "I'll go to the river to see if Uncle Agen has tied up the bamboo raft. Go and pull two carts and pull the boat to the river."

Ada smiled and said, "Agen and the others have already tied up the bamboo raft. I heard that they even went up the mountain and carried some big rocks down."

"Then let's pull the canoe across now."

Jiang Li picked up the oars that had been set aside and packed them into the cabin, and tied the ropes he had prepared to the canoe.

A man came over with a cow and a cart.Everyone worked together to lift the one-foot-long canoe onto the cart, and the ox pulled the canoe to the river.

From a distance, I saw Ashuo and the others, putting aside the basket full of grass, and fishing for fish and shrimp with a net on the bamboo raft.

Ada went over and shouted loudly: "A few small things, don't hurry down, if you fall into the river and be washed away by the water, you will be eaten by big fish."

Ashuo ran back with a few smiles, "We didn't go into the water, we won't fall."

Adahu frowned, "Hurry up and go back, be careful, I'll tell your mother, don't cry when I beat you."

Jiang Li looked at the reckless faces of these people, and shouted: "From now on, you are not allowed to go on the bamboo raft again. If any of you get on the bamboo raft, you will be fined to live on it, and you will not be allowed to go ashore."

A few people stood up straight honestly, "We won't go there in the future."

Ada rubbed A Diao's head, "Hurry up and carry the grass back."

Several children got off the bamboo raft and ran away in a swarm.
