The end of natural disasters: the daily life of child brides in ancient times

Inside the house, the person who came in was patting the snow that had fallen on his hat with his hands.

Tian Funiang ran into the house, her mouth making "sha, sha" sounds due to the cold.

She patted the snow on her hat and sighed:

"It's getting colder!"

The village head's wife rubbed her ears and said, "That's right! I'm freezing cold after just one trip. I think if it gets any colder, even the urine bucket won't be easy to empty!"

Tianfu Niang agreed and lowered her voice:

"That's right! These days, when I go to the toilet, as soon as I squat down... I freeze through!

I don’t even dare to let my little Shitou go to the toilet, for fear that he will catch a cold.

Now, I pee and pee in the house. Even though it smells a bit, it’s better than getting sick!”

The two were sighing when they heard Lu Tianming clear his throat and say:

"Everyone, please be quiet! I called you all here today to talk about how to deal with the cold wave!"

When everyone in Lujia Village heard about the cold wave, their hearts skipped a beat.

Seeing everyone's serious expressions, Lu Tianming explained:

"In the past few days, the snow has been falling heavier, just like the situation before the cold snap last year.

I just went to the village and discussed the cold wave with Village Chief Yang and others.

Linshan Village was also very cold last winter, but it was not as cold as our place, where even the houses were covered with frost.

Having said that, no one can predict what the situation will be like this year.

Just in case, we still discussed a countermeasure."

As he spoke, Lu Tianming looked at everyone.

"From now on, in addition to daily snow removal, we will have two people on night duty every night.

The person on night duty carries a gong or a copper basin, and if there is any danger, he will quickly ring it to wake everyone up.

In addition, everyone prepared several more fires in the room, and the fire in the stove should not be turned off even at night.

To ensure that when danger strikes, it can be quickly ignited."

Everyone took note of it, and Lu Tianming remembered something and added another sentence.

"If families have extra bedding, they can hang it on the windows, doors, and even the walls to keep warm.

There is one more thing, regarding the guarding of the ice house, I have discussed it with Village Chief Yang and others.

The temperature has been so low these days that there haven't been any refugees passing by for a long time.

Everyone knows that since a few days ago, the number of people on duty and the time have been shortened a lot.

In order to cope with the cold wave this time, the village will no longer arrange personnel to guard the ice house, and everyone will stay at home.

Even during the day, everyone should try to stay at home as little as possible, just in case!

Did everyone hear what I just said?

If you still don’t understand, please continue asking.”

Everyone said they understood, and then Lu Tianming arranged the shifts for the personnel.

At the same time, people were sent to the two courtyards in the village to tell them the countermeasures.

In the following days, everyone almost stayed at home.

Apart from sweeping the snow every day, everyone stayed in their houses, and few people even went to the toilet.

Even the urine bucket in the house was emptied into the toilet while sweeping the snow.

As for Lu Qingqing and Qin Lang, except when they were assigned to clear snow and keep watch, they tried to stay in the space as much as possible.

With their free time greatly increased, the two of them, in addition to their daily martial arts training, spent more time on planting and breeding in the space.

These days, the cow's belly is getting bigger and bigger. There is no doubt that she is pregnant.

To be on the safe side, the two built a separate fence for the pregnant cow.

They serve the cow with good food and drink every day, hoping that it can give birth as soon as possible.

So that they can drink milk.

As for the remaining animals, there was a ewe that was suspected to be pregnant, and there were also several pregnant doe deer in the herd.

Before, Lu Qingqing had tried to milk deer, but the output was too low.

After they milked the little sika deer, it cried pitifully because it was hungry.

Staring at two pairs of watery eyes, one big and one small, Lu Qingqing decisively gave up on the deer milk.

Of course, the milk that was squeezed out was not wasted. After boiling it, the two tasted it.

The taste is very good, with rich milk flavor and mellow taste.

Later, Lu Qingqing set her sights on milk production from cows and sheep.

As expected, when it comes to food, it still depends on the careful selection of our ancestors.

In addition, in the livestock breeding area, the areas that Qin Lang spent the most time on were the pig pens and rabbit pens.

There is always shit to shovel every day!

Plus, the rabbits are like they are running at double speed, one gives birth to a litter today, and another gives birth to a litter tomorrow.

Up to now, the rabbit pen has expanded several times compared to the beginning. Every time Lu Qingqing comes to see it, she feels like there are countless rabbits jumping around in front of her.

Even now, the two of them have no idea how many rabbits they have in total.

That is to say, there is enough food and grass in the space, otherwise it would be impossible to support these guys who can eat and reproduce.

However, even if they could afford to raise them, the two of them only adhered to one principle when it came to this breeding monster, and that was that they absolutely could not expand the rabbit pen.

To this end, the two of them manually cleared a batch of rabbits every once in a while.

At this time of year, there would be a large amount of raw rabbit meat on the shelves.

Similarly, there was a large pile of rabbit skins on the shelves.

For this purpose, Lu Qingqing also asked people about the tanning of fur.

Some say alum is needed, but she has no place to buy it now.

Later, she accidentally heard a method from Wang's father, and the materials used were what she already had.

The whole process is somewhat complicated, and the remaining grease and fascia on the inside of the skin need to be scraped off first.

Then apply salt to the inside of the rabbit skin and marinate for two days.

Remove the salt after two days and wipe off the excess salt with clean water.

Then evenly apply the egg yolk to the inside of the rabbit skin, cover it tightly with a wet cloth, and leave it for two days.

Two days later, scrub the rabbit skin in bath bean water, brush it with egg white after washing it clean, place the rabbit skin on a fixed rack, tear it apart, and let it dry into shape.

After forming, it needs to be rubbed repeatedly until the leather becomes soft.

The fur made using this method is usable, but it's not very soft and has a slight fishy smell.

She did it once and gave up, and after that she put the remaining furs on the shelf.

There's no way. Not only is the fur complicated to process, but the result isn't that good either.

She planned to find a place that specialized in fur processing when she got out and process the rabbit skins.

As for the pigpen, she hoped that the pigs would give birth to more piglets so that they could grow up and eat meat.

But after raising these pigs for these days, apart from gaining some fat, none of them have become pregnant.

However, a lot of soft poop is produced every day.

Even someone as diligent as Qin Lang gets emotional from cleaning up the shit every day.

Lu Qingqing had no choice but to appease Qin Lang again and again, relying on making promises and promising that he could eat braised pork, braised pork ribs and other delicacies after he fattened up, before she could appease him.

Of course, in addition to these energy-consuming things, there is also something that makes both of them very happy.
