Traveling through ancient times to farm and build infrastructure

Chapter 344 Chapter 344

When Heiba ​​was chopping rattan, he also cut some thatch growing by the river and some flexible vines, and handed them to Yao Xiaoqing.

"Xiaoqing, you weave two straw curtains, and when the tree house is built, take some and spread it underneath, and tie another one at the door of the tree house, so as to prevent rainwater from flying into the house."

"Okay!" Yao Xiaoqing took the vine, cut it with a knife, spread it on the ground and weaved it quickly.

After weaving the curtain, she poured some water into the pot, grabbed a few handfuls of corn and started cooking porridge.

After the water in the rice pot boiled, she grabbed some flour from the bag and put it in a large wooden bowl, added water and salt to make a batter, scooped it up with a small wooden spoon, poured it into the rice porridge one by one, and cooked a pot of noodle soup porridge.

When the noodle soup and porridge were cooked, Yao Xiaoqing turned to the people on the tree and shouted: "The food is ready, you guys come down quickly."

"Okay!" Jiang Li tied the vines in his hands and jumped down from the tree.

Jiang Li saw Yao Xiaoqing pull out a few lumps of soil from the fire with a wooden stick, and looked at her with a smile, "Xiaoqing, what did you burn?"

"Duck eggs!" Yao Xiaoqing pointed to the red three dumplings in the fire, "the big three dumplings are filled with wild birds, wash your hands quickly, you can eat them."

Jiang Li nodded, went to the river to wash his hands, suddenly saw a big fish jumped out of the water, submerged in the water again in the blink of an eye, sank into the aquatic plants at the bottom of the river, stirred up the sediment at the bottom of the river, and the river surface was turbid.

He turned his head to look at Yao Xiaoqing, "Xiaoqing, do you want to eat fish?"

Yao Xiaoqing took out the waterfowl in the fire, and said loudly without looking back: "I can't finish the food here, so I will catch fish to eat at night."

When Heiba ​​got down from the tree, when he saw a lump of soil on the ground, he wanted to grab it with his hands.

"Hot!" Yao Xiaoqing hurriedly stopped him, looked at him and said with a smile: "It was just dug out from the fire. Go wash your hands and eat food."

"Oh!" Heiba ​​ran to the river.

Yao Xiaoqing digs duck eggs and waterfowl out of the fire and hangs them there.In the past, he turned over the empty pan, scooped up four bowls of noodle porridge, and put them on to dry.

He picked up the machete and smashed the mud covering the duck egg with the back of the knife, revealing a green shell duck egg.

When Jiang Li and Hei Ba came over, Yao Xiaoqing had already knocked out all the duck eggs.

Heiba ​​picked up a duck egg, "We used to wrap it in mud and bake it. The duck eggs were all burnt to pieces, and the yolk was everywhere."

Yao Xiaoqing smiled and said, "Make the mud thinner and wrap it thicker so it won't burn."

Jiang Li peeled off a duck egg and handed it to Yao Xiaoqing, "You're hungry!"

Yao Xiaoqing took it with a smile, "A little bit, you get hungry faster when you do physical work."

"We have to build the tree house before dark, the humidity here is too high to sleep on the ground," Jiang Li said.

Yao Xiaoqing looked at the tree house and saw that the bottom floor had been tied up, "It will be ready in the afternoon."

After the four of them ate food, Yao Xiaoqing went to the river to clean the pots and bowls, and continued to gather firewood. Jiang Li and the three went up the tree and got busy.

After the bottom layer was tied up, a small door for entry and exit was left, surrounded by wood, and tied some wooden sticks on the top.

Heiba ​​muttered non-stop, saying that he only stayed for two days, why would he spend so much effort?
Da Liang gave him a crutch, "Tonight you will sleep with the tree trunk in your arms."

Heiba ​​scratched his head embarrassingly, "The tree house is all set up, I want to sleep in it!"

Jiang Li glanced at the bickering two people, "Hurry up and cut the palm leaves."

Da Liang and Hei Ba went to the river and cut some palm leaves, and handed them to Jiang Li to cover the roof of the tree, and then fixed them with vines, so that the rain could not leak inside.

At the door, Jiang Li tied a few more wooden sticks to put the shoes, and finally hung a curtain woven by Yao Xiaoqing at the door.

Jiang Li and Heiba ​​spread the mats made by Yao Xiaoqing on the floor, and then spread the animal skin mats on top, and pressed them flat with their hands. A small tree house was successfully built.

The room where Jiang Li and Muba lived was bigger, and the room where Yao Xiaoqing lived was just enough for one person to lie down comfortably with a few baskets.

Jiang Li looked at the sky, and asked Heiba ​​and Daliang to use machetes to cut out steps on the trunk of the tree, making a natural tree ladder for Yao Xiaoqing to go up and down.

He picked up a long wooden stick, sharpened it with a machete, carried it to the river's edge and entered the water, aiming at a big fishbone, only heard a "swish", and a ruler was stuck on the wet wooden fork. grow fish.

The big fish was lifted out of the water by the wooden fork, swinging wildly.

Jiang Li stabbed three more, turned his head and lifted the big fish on the wooden fork, and smiled brightly at Yao Xiaoqing, "Xiaoqing, is four enough?"

Yao Xiaoqing glanced back, pursed her lips and smiled: "That's enough! It's just one for each person. You wash it and bring it over. I'll rub some salt to marinate it."

"Okay!" Jiang Li left the big fish on the shore, took out his dagger and got busy.

The smell of blood was scattered in the water, and a water snake with thick arms poked its head out of the water grass.

Jiang Li glanced at those sinister snake eyes, and threw the fish viscera in his hand towards it, and the water snake opened its mouth wide and swallowed the viscera in one gulp.

Looking at the thick aquatic plants on the bank, Jiang Li raised his wooden fork and slapped the aquatic plants a few times. Several water snakes shot out from under the aquatic plants like arrows.

After the water snake escaped, he picked out all the aquatic plants with a wooden fork, leaving no place for the water snake to hide.

The big fish was cleaned and carried back, spread salt and put it on a stone to marinate. Then he went to the river bank with a machete, and cut down all the vines, weeds and shrubs beside the fine sandy beach on the river bank, so as not to hide snakes and insects. inside.

Before it was dark, mosquitoes kept buzzing in his ears. Yao Xiaoqing felt that if the sky was darker, there would be more mosquitoes, and the moxa that was cut would not be able to burn through the long night.

Yao Xiaoqing asked Jiang Li to chop some wormwood and come back.

After Heiba ​​and Daliang tied up the wooden ladder, they took Daliang to the river and cut some vines with red, purple, and yellow flowers. They spread them on the roof and hung down. The two small tree houses seemed to be surrounded by flowers.

He stood under the tree and looked at the tree house surrounded by flowers and vines, then turned his head and called Yao Xiaoqing, who was preparing for dinner, "Look, Qing Wu, is it pretty?"

Yao Xiaoqing looked up at Heiba ​​with a bright smile on his face, and then at the tree house covered with flowers in the bushes. He couldn't believe it was decorated by Heiba, but he didn't expect the thick Heiba ​​to have a girlish heart!
She smiled and gave him a thumbs up, "Yes, it must be very pleasant to live in a small house surrounded by a sea of ​​flowers."

Da Liang anxiously said from the side: "Qingwu, I was tied up with Heiba!"

Yao Xiaoqing gave him a thumbs up, "It's very nice, come and have dinner soon."

Jiang Li, who was grilling fish with a wooden stick, looked at the smug smiles of the two, suddenly felt that these two guys were a bit of an eyesore, and regretted that he should not have brought these two guys here.

Otherwise, it would be great for him and Xiaoqing to be in this picturesque place!
Heiba ​​and Daliang didn't know that they were rejected by others, so they happily went to the river to wash their hands.

Jiang Li turned the wooden stick quickly, and the big fish was charred on the outside and tender on the inside, exuding a tempting aroma.

Yao Xiaoqing smelled the aroma of grilled fish, and smiled at him, "Jiang Li, your grilling skills are really good!"
