Traveling back to ancient times begins with the use of stone tools

Leng Ruoxue felt that the people in Lengjia Village were much more simple and honest than those in Wangjia Village, perhaps because they were from Lengjia Village.

Leng Ruoxue helped Liu Ruxu cultivate the vegetable garden, and whenever someone came, she would accept the food, thank them, and tell them that it was enough and that they didn't need to send any more.

Until a little child came over with half a handful of red fruits.

"Where did you pick this?"

"This fruit is delicious, sour and sweet. I give it to you. Thank you for your pumpkin."

The child drooled and reluctantly put the fruit on the table.

"Thank you. Who are you from? What's your name?"

"My name is Goudan"

The child lowered his head.

"How about you take me to the fruit picking place and I'll give you a pumpkin?"

"really?"

Goudan's eyes lit up. The pumpkin was so sweet, and it was so big that it was enough to eat for several days.

"real"

"there"

Goudan pointed to the mountain and said, "There are still a lot of uncooked ones. I ate the uncooked ones and left the cooked ones behind."

"Mom, I'm going to be out for a while. If I'm not back, please let uncle and the others eat first. They don't have to wait for me."

Leng Ruoxue said hello to Liu Ruxu and went into the mountains with Goudan.

That small fruit is a strawberry, a wild strawberry. Now the space can be put to good use.

"Everyone has dug up all the wild vegetables over there, so I just came here to take a look. I didn't expect to see these red fruits. There weren't so many of them before."

Goudan led the way while talking to Leng Ruoxue.

“If only they were all pumpkins.”

"Okay, I'll get you two big pumpkins later."

Leng Ruoxue took a look and saw that it was behind a forest next to where everyone was digging wild vegetables.

Because it didn't look like a place with wild vegetables, no one went there.

Only Goudan's small body can pass through the thorns.

"The fruit is not ripe yet, we will pick it later"

After knowing the place, Leng Ruoxue took Goudan back to her home. Liu Ruxu was digging in the vegetable garden. She had no tools, so she used stone chips.

Leng Yuxuan was helping to pull out the weeds.

He went into the house and took out two big pumpkins from the space.

"Come on, I'll take you back"

The two pumpkins are probably heavier than the dog's eggs.

"Can……"

Goudan was conflicted. There were only a few small fruits in a handful, but his sister gave him two pumpkins that were that big. It didn't seem appropriate.

"Goudan, sister likes this fruit very much. Sister Pumpkin has some more at home, but the fruit is not ripe yet. You don't have to pick them yet. When the fruit is ripe, you can pick more for sister."

"Okay, from now on I will give all the fruits to my sister, and I won't eat them anymore."

Goudan was spinning around happily.

Leng Ruoxue put the pumpkin at the door of Goudan's house and went back. She was in a hurry to pick strawberries.

Liu Datong just came back with some wood. "I brought the hoe with me. You guys can use it first. I can't use it for the time being."

"That's great. Thank you, Uncle Liu. You take a rest. I'll go out for a while."

Leng Ruoxue was happy when she got the hoe. Finally, she didn't have to look for stone chips, otherwise it would take who knows how long it would take to dig.

The soil was soft and she had the right tools at hand. Leng Ruoxue quickly dug up all the strawberries one by one with a hoe.

When she finished her work, Liu Datong had already returned and helped to bring back all the bamboo that the Wang family had cut.

"Madam Liu, we brought some dry food with us."

Seeing that Liu Ruxu had served everyone plenty of wild vegetable and pumpkin porridge, the four of them felt embarrassed and took out wild vegetable cakes.

"That one is too dry, let's eat something hot, a full pot. Besides, I need your help with some work. The fields are not busy these days. I will be embarrassed to disturb you when the fields are busy."

Leng Ruoxue stuffed the bowls among the four people.

Seeing that the three people didn't move, the four people were too embarrassed to move.

"Uncle, please make four bamboo tubes for me, we don't have enough bowls at home."

Uncle Wang suddenly realized what was going on and made four bamboo tubes in no time.

The fragrance of bamboo, the sweetness of pumpkin, the astringency of wild vegetables, the throat-tenderizing effect of brown rice, a little bit of salt, and small grains of dried meat create a mixture of five flavors.

This is a very rich meal.

Leng Ruoxue wanted to eat fried dishes and rice, but the journey was long and arduous, so she had to have a house to live in and fill her stomach first.

Leng Ruoxue's family was full after each person drank from a bamboo bucket, and the whole pot was shared by the four people who came.

Also rinsed it with water.

After dinner, Liu Datong went up the mountain to help cut bamboo, and an uncle from the Wang family brought the boy to help with the yard.

Big bamboos are buried as pillars, with bamboo poles placed horizontally at the top, middle and bottom, and then bamboo strips are used to weave into diamond shapes.

After watching for a while, Leng Ruoxue and Liu Ruxu also learned it.

Everyone started working on it.

Uncle Wang specialized in splitting bamboo strips and brought back two truckloads of bamboo. Liu Datong and another uncle from the Wang family also worked on splitting bamboo strips.

By the time the sun set, all the bamboo strips were ready.

Looking at such a large courtyard, I feel a sense of accomplishment.

Dinner was still a pot of stew. While the cooking was going on, several people helped to dig out the vegetable garden.

Leng Ruoxue also asked Uncle Wang to help make a rack for growing strawberries.

Although he didn't know why Leng Ruoxue did this, Uncle Wang still did it quickly.

"Tomorrow I'll build a cowshed and two thatched huts, and you'll have a good place to live."

Uncle Wang, who was having dinner, breathed a sigh of relief.

"Well, thank you uncles and brothers, you can drive the ox cart back and we can come back by ox cart tomorrow."

"You want us to bring more wood!"

Liu Datong joked.

"Haha, that's right. If there are extra ones, it would be a shame not to bring them here."

Leng Ruoxue was happy.

"You can help us feed the cows at the same time."

Having become familiar with Liu Datong, Leng Ruoxue could say a few words to him, but the people from the Wang family rarely said anything.

After the meal, the group drove away in a ox cart.

Leng Ruoxue walked around the yard of her house for a few times and found a small stream. She had to arrange for running water.

Toilets must be provided and sewage must be provided.

There are many things to do, but if the frame of the house is up tomorrow, I can slowly do the thatching myself.

After the planning was completed, I prepared the sandy soil and planted the strawberries.

“What are you going to plant?”

Liu Ruxu helped with the planting and was very curious.

"These are wild fruits from the mountains. When we harvest them, we can take them to the county town to sell them."

Liu Ruxu has gotten used to her daughter's enthusiasm for selling things in the county town.

"I was wondering why you had to go pick wild vegetables in the middle of the night. Turns out you were going to pick wild fruits instead."

Leng Ruoxue, who was carrying strawberries on her back after turning around, smiled and said, "Yes, don't underestimate these wild fruits. If we plant them well, we can grow them all year round. By then, even if we don't have land, we can still buy enough food."

Hearing this, Liu Ruxu became more cautious.

While planting, he asked how to grow this wild fruit well.

Leng Ruoxue only knew that sandy soil was needed, not too much water was allowed, and fertilizer should be applied, and attention should be paid to temperature and light. Under the current conditions, she was not picky about fertilizer, so she just soaked cow dung and rotten leaves dug from the mountain together to provide fertilizer for the fruits that did not turn red.
