Traveling through ancient times, I worked hard to develop a side business

Huanyan didn't stay any longer. She picked up the basket and hurried home.

After walking for a while, Huanyan saw the tribesmen coming over. Huanyan waved happily, "I'm here!"

"Sister, I finally found you. Next time, either take me with you or come back earlier!" Yao said worriedly.

"I'm sorry, brother, I just found something good, and then I was a little fascinated by it for a moment!" Huanyan smiled at her brother ingratiatingly.

"Come, let me take it!" Yao took the thing from Huanyan's hand, and the group continued to walk towards the clan's land.

……

"Today, I found some wild duck eggs and made a delicious dish for everyone!"

"Sister, this is not delicious. It's really disgusting!"

"Of course it won't taste good if you eat it raw!" Huanyan said as she instructed Yao to make a fire. Yao skillfully drilled two pieces of wood to make fire.

Huanyan watched Yao's movements becoming more and more skillful, and thought that she had to find a flint. She didn't know whether Yao's hands hurt from rubbing wood together to make fire every day, but her own hands hurt just by looking at him.

Huanyan scooped out a spoonful of animal fat and put it into the stone pot. She then found a stone basin and beat dozens of duck eggs into it. Then she used the wooden chopsticks she had made temporarily to beat the egg liquid and added some salt. When the fat in the pot melted and became hot, Huanyan poured the egg liquid in.

Although the fishy smell is still quite strong, the conditions are such that after the egg liquid turns into golden lumps, Huanyan takes out all the duck eggs, adds a spoonful of animal fat, stir-fries the wild onions found during the day until they are fragrant, then pours the egg chunks back into the pot, stir-fries them evenly, and eats them directly.

"It smells so good!" Yao couldn't hold back his saliva.

"Brother, wipe your saliva and bring it over!" After it was brought over, since there were only ten people in the tribe including Huanyan and the others, everyone got a share.

Everyone who ate it couldn't help but be dazzled by its eyes. Huanyan took a bite and found it tasted okay, without a strong fishy smell, and had a light energy. Although it was little, it was better than nothing!

"Huanyan, where did you find these? Do you have more?" Aunt Yagu asked impatiently.

"Yes, there are a lot, but you should hurry up and make the kang in the next two days, and then I will take you to find wild duck eggs!"

"Yes, yes, Huanyan is right. This kang is a good thing that can keep us from freezing in winter!" Uncle Jian was also tempted, but he still knew what was more important.

"Okay, let's get started tomorrow and make the kangs for each family as soon as possible!" Although Aunt Yagu was a little unhappy, she was able to distinguish the priorities.

This is actually quite good. Although everyone has their own little thoughts, they can always make sense of the big things.

After dinner, everyone went back home and got up early the next day to start working.

Yao, Shun, Yu and Shi were especially busy. They were busy demonstrating to everyone and helping the people who went out hunting to build kangs. They were busy as hell.

Huanyan and Qing, as the only two girls in the tribe and also the younger generation, took on the responsibility of cooking for everyone.

"Qing, let's go pick up some duck eggs so we can cook!"

"Okay!" Qing agreed crisply, and each of them took a small stone knife, which was specially made for them by Uncle Jian.

"Huanyan, you are so awesome! I am just not as awesome as you!" Qing now has no hostility towards Huanyan at all and has directly evolved into a fan girl.

"The earth element you awakened is very useful. Remember to help me find a particularly fine soil. If I can find it, I will make some good things and share some with you!" Huanyan said with a smile.

"Okay, I got it!" Qing agreed with sparkling eyes.

The two chatted and laughed and soon arrived at the reed marsh. They first cut some reeds to put under the basket, and then began to look for duck eggs.

Maybe there were many people coming today, or maybe they arrived early, so they walked carefully into the reed marsh and heard some rustling sounds inside. Soon, flocks of wild ducks flew up.

But these wild ducks didn't seem to have the ability to attack. Seeing this, Huanyan hurriedly said, "Qing, pick them up quickly. Remember not to pick them all at once. Leave three or four in each nest like I do. This way, they will continue to lay eggs here. If you pick them all up, they won't come back!"

"Okay!" Qing took note of it carefully. She and Huanyan each held a wild duck egg and had a lot of fun picking them up. Soon the baskets they brought were full.

"Huanyan, I'll go back and put it down and come back later!"

"No, let's cut some grass and bring it back. I want to make something!"

"Okay!" Qing didn't even ask Huanyan what she was going to do with it, she just started cutting.

On the way back, the two men carried a basket of wild duck eggs on their backs and held a bundle of reeds in front.

Huanyan couldn't help but sigh that the people here were in really good health. They didn't feel tired even after carrying so many things.

After the two of them went back, one cooked rice and the other fried vegetables. After a while, the meal was ready. After calling everyone out for lunch, they continued to be busy, and Huanyan began to fiddle with the reeds.

"Huanyan, what do you want to do? Can I help you?" Qing asked, squatting down.

"I want to make a mat that can be spread on the kang!" Huanyan held the reeds and didn't know where to start. Why would she, who was engaged in weapons research, engage in handicrafts? This was totally unprofessional!

"Then can't we just cover it with animal skins?" Qing said curiously.

"It's easy to get the animal skin dirty if you spread it directly on the kang. If you can weave a mat, you don't have to worry about it!" Huanyan had a good idea, but it was too difficult to put into practice.

"If you put it that way, it really is necessary. Then I'll think about it too!"

"Okay, let me think about it more!" Huanyan was holding two reed stalks in her hands and bending them again and again, as if the freshly cut reeds could be directly used to weave reed mats.

Huanyan cleaned off the dirty leaves on it, leaving only the clean stems, and then started poking it left and right, but still didn't know how to braid it. Finally, she tried the method of braiding a pigtail, which seemed to be feasible, but it was so bumpy and ugly.

After struggling unremittingly for an hour, Huanyan decisively decided to give up and looked towards Qing!

The mat in Qing's hand seemed to be in good shape. She was unsure and looked at it again. Then, Huanyan's eyes lit up, "Qing, you are so skillful!"

"Huanyan, do you mean that I can use it by doing this?" Qing asked excitedly.

"More than useful, you're simply a genius. I'll leave these reeds to you!" Huanyan decisively pushed the processed reeds to Qing, "I'll deal with the leaves on top, and you quickly weave them. Whether we can use the mats depends on you!"

"Yeah!" Qing nodded heavily, and then her hands moved more diligently.

Huanyan watched Qing's movements and then asked her about the size. Qing seemed to have a great talent in this area. She went from being unfamiliar at the beginning to becoming proficient later, and the texture she produced became smoother and smoother.

Huanyan couldn't help but sigh that some people were born to do this kind of job, but she was not born to do this kind of job. However, this also made Huanyan feel relieved. After quickly cleaning up the reeds, Huanyan did not disturb Qing, but went to do other things.

She planned to try to make handmade soap. There is a special kind of grass here that has a very good cleaning power, but she always felt a little uncomfortable when rubbing the grass on her body while taking a bath.
