Traveling through ancient times to farm and build infrastructure

Chapter 279 Chapter 281
Yao Xiaoqing's eyes lit up, "That's right! I heard from my father before that putting camphor wood shavings in gauze bags in the closet can prevent insects from growing in the rice bin. But now we don't have the time, let's put Cut down the oil press wood, and prepare the mill for oil extraction."

Jiang Li looked at Yao Xiaoqing with a smile in his eyes, and said in a gentle voice, "Okay! It's all up to you."

Yao Xiaoqing glanced at Jiang Li, and saw the look of doting in Jiang Li's eyes.She turned her head uncomfortably, looking at Mufeng and the others, not him.

Several people were busy on the mountain for half an afternoon, and felled two camphor trees.

Yao Xiaoqing accidentally found more than a dozen cocoon-like things on the branches of the camphor tree.

She picked it up and handed it to Jiang Li, "Look, is this a silkworm cocoon?"

Jiang Li picked up a cocoon and looked at it. He lowered his eyes and thought for a while, "This is a cocoon made by camphor silkworm. I heard that camphor silkworm silk is very strong. Fishermen like to use camphor silkworm cocoon to make fishing silk, so it is also called fishing silkworm."

It was the first time Yao Xiaoqing heard of camphor silkworm, and the first time he heard that the fishing thread made of camphor silk was strong.

She smiled and gave Jiang Li a thumbs up, "Jiang Li, you are so knowledgeable."

Jiang Li smiled and said: "There is a library in the house, I like to find some miscellaneous books in it to read when I have nothing to do."

"People are good from the book!" Yao Xiaoqing looked at the camphor cocoon in his hand, and a flash of light flashed in his mind, "Jiang Li, since there are camphor cocoons on the camphor wood, can we also find silkworm cocoons on the mulberry tree?" ?”

Jiang Li nodded without hesitation, "Yes! Otherwise, where did the original silk come from? When we go to the mulberry forest to look for it, we will always find it."

Yao Xiaoqing nodded, "You are right. There are too many things to be busy this year, so I must go out and look for them next year." After harvesting rapeseed, I have to be busy harvesting beans, and making soy sauce and bean paste.Things come together.She felt a little overwhelmed.

Several people cut off the branches of the camphor wood and carried them back to the tribe, and it was getting dark.

The next day, Jiang Li stayed in the Yaoshan tribe and took Yaohu and Dashi to build an oil press, while Mufeng and Heiba ​​went into the mountain to hunt together.

As if in a blink of an eye, the rapeseed in the rapeseed field has matured again
Everyone is busy harvesting the rapeseed back.More than 2000 catties of rapeseed were harvested on a hundred acres of rapeseed.The seeds are left, and the others will start oil extraction after the oil extraction room is built.

The red peppers in the pepper field are covered with branches, and Yao Xiaoqing is preparing to make bean paste.

The spices are almost ready, the only thing missing is white wine and bean paste.

Yao Xiaoqing cleaned and soaked the dried peas instead of peas for one night, drained the water, poured it into a dustpan lined with pumpkin leaves, spread it out evenly, covered the peas with a layer of pumpkin leaves, put them in the warehouse for fermentation and washed them clean.

He asked Yaohu and the others to make a few spatulas and install them with long wooden handles.

Pour the cleaned red pepper into a large wooden barrel, chop it with a spatula, add salt, aniseed and fermented moldy peas in proportion, stir well, put it in a cool place to ferment for a few days, and then move it to the courtyard dam drying.

There are more than 200 people in the tribe. Yao Xiaoqing took Yun Amu and the others to make more than a dozen jars of bean paste.

The hot summer is coming to an end soon, and the Yaoshan tribe's busiest season has arrived.

The wheat and beans in the fields and fields began to be harvested one after another.Jiang Li brought people from the Qingshan tribe to help with the harvest.

Wheat, pinto beans, mung beans...all were taken back to dry and stored.

Take back the last few acres of beans, and prepare to harvest pumpkins, sugar cane, and taro.

Everyone was busy in the field, and A Shuo and A Diao ran over from the pond carrying a few fish.

Several people held the big fish and looked at Yun Amu happily, "Amu, Amu, look, the fish jumped out of the pond."

Yun Amu took a few big fish and looked at them sternly, "Did you go to the pond to play in the water?"

A Shuo shook his head and said, "No, the fish in the pond jumped so high, these few big ones jumped to the shore."

Ah Diao also said, "Em, we didn't go to the pond."

Seeing that they didn't seem to be lying, Yun Amu nodded, "It's fine if you don't go, you will die if you fall into the pond, you understand?"

"Well! We're not going."

Seeing the children sweating profusely, Ah Mu sighed, "Oh! It's too hot for fish to stay in the pond."

She carried the fish into the cafeteria and handed it to Xiang Dali, and went to the bean field with two barrels of herbal tea, "The herbal tea is here, everyone come and drink."

Yao Xiaoqing went to the edge of the field and scooped up a bowl of herbal tea and drank it, "Mum, make more mung bean soup this afternoon."

Yun Amu took the bean leaf off her head, "Okay! Ah Diao and I picked up a few big fish by the pond, how about cooking a fish with pickled peppers at night?"

"Okay! Pickled pepper fish appetizer!" Yao Xiaoqing walked a few steps, turned to look at her, "Mum, did you just say that the fish jumped out of the pond?"

Yun Amu nodded, "Yes! Ah Shuo and the others saw it."

Yao Xiaoqing looked up at the sky, feeling a little uneasy, "I'll go and have a look."

She went straight to the ditch, and saw that the fish in the ditch had also floated to the surface of the water, and then walked forward to see the fish in the pond, jumping up from the pond like someone stirring the pond with a bamboo pole.

"Oops, is there going to be an earthquake? I have to ask Alinbo and the others."

Yao Xiaoqing was talking to herself, and walked towards the small gate at the foot of the mountain, and went to the pen after going out.

As soon as Ah Lin saw her, he came over, "Xiaoqing, something is wrong with the livestock these days, they always want to crawl out of the pen. They also killed several poisonous insects."

Yao Xiaoqing frowned and asked, "Are all livestock like this?" These phenomena were just the omens before the earthquake came!

A Lin nodded, "Yes! There is also a female rabbit who killed a baby rabbit, and Agen said that the chicken and duck are not right. These days, they don't eat well or lay eggs well, and they are flapping their wings and scurrying around."

Yao Xiaoqing felt a little worried, "It's been like this for a few days."

Alin thought for a while, "It's been four or five days, and today is stronger than the previous few days."

Suddenly, there was a strange buzzing sound from the ground, like the vibration of a passing train.

Yao Xiaoqing felt a little weightless, as if she was standing on a flat boat in a storm. She saw Alinbo fall to the ground in great horror.

There was a thunderous roar in the distance, and then, the earth danced wildly, the big trees on the mountain swayed, rocks rolled, and smoke and dust rose everywhere.The animals in the stables whimpered in fear, and all huddled together and remained motionless.

Yao Xiaoqing had also experienced several small earthquakes before, but every time it was as strong as today, she couldn't stand and fell to the ground. As long as she opened her eyes, she would feel dizzy.

Jiang Li dragged Yaohu and Dashi out of the refining room. In the cafeteria, the harvesters turned pale with fright, closed their eyes and knelt on the ground, not daring to move.

Fortunately, the shock passed after a few breaths, and everyone opened their eyes to see the leaves flying in the air.
