Going through ancient farming to engage in infrastructure construction

Chapter 148 Chapter 148

She and Yuzi took a stone hoe to dig up the weeds growing on it, and saw the dark red stones with metallic luster exposed on the ground.

Yao Xiaoqing picked up a piece and said to Yuzi: "Pick up a stone like this and put it in a basket. Let's carry two baskets back."

Yuzi looked at her puzzled, "Xiaoqing, what are you doing with such a stone? It doesn't look good."

Yao Xiaoqing said happily: "Have you seen any beautiful stones?"

Yuzi smiled, "When I was in Sishan, I picked up a fiery red and translucent stone, it was really pretty."

Yao Xiaoqing thinks it should be a stone like agate, "When we are free, let's go out and look for any good-looking stones."

Yuzi smiled and said, "You are so busy all day, how can you have free time?"

Yao Xiaoqing thinks the same, and after picking up the stone, he will try to refine it.She also thought about peeling off some ramie bark and trying to make some paper after the ramie was cut.Long-term use of bamboo chips is not an option either.

Thinking of the last time Yuzi talked about her and Quan and Zhu, she asked with a smile: "You haven't told me, how are you, Zhu and Quan?"

Yuzi smiled and took out a wolf tooth from her neck, "I choose Quan to be my partner, and I will pair with Quan in summer."

Yao Xiaoqing smiled and said, "Okay! Congratulations!"

"Congratulations!" Yuzi looked at her puzzled, "Xiaoqing, what do you mean by congratulations?"

Only then did Yao Xiaoqing realize that they had used a language they didn't understand, and said with a smile: "It means that you and Quan are paired up, and it is a joyful thing."

A happy smile appeared on Yuzi's face, "Thank you, Xiaoqing."

The two picked up half a basket of stones and walked back with them on their backs.

Not long after going down the mountain, I saw Douzi and several women walking back with the food they collected.

Seeing Yao Xiaoqing, Yuzi greeted him happily, "Qing Wu, I pounded some millet last night and cooked the porridge you mentioned for my father. He ate two bowls."

Yao Xiaoqing was also very happy after hearing this, and said with a smile: "Okay, remember to let him drink the medicine, and I will go to your tribe tomorrow to show him."

"Okay, thank you Qingwu." Douzi replied happily.

Yao Xiaoqing and Yuzi bid farewell to Douzi and returned to the tribe with the ore on their backs.

The two put the baskets in the bamboo shed of the kiln, and Yao Xiaoqing said to Yuzi: "Go back and pick up a basket of charcoal from the stairs."

Taro replied: "Okay, I'll get you some more water."

Yao Xiaoqing nodded, went to the firewood shed to bring some firewood, and piled it into a firewood stack.

Pick up the ore from the back basket, crush it with a stone hammer and pile it on top of the firewood pile.

He took out the lighter from his pocket, lit the pine needles underneath, and the fire gradually ignited.

Yuzi came over with the charcoal, handed her the bamboo tube and said, "Em has already prepared the food, let you go back and eat it before coming back."

Yao Xiaoqing shook her head, "I'm too lazy to go back, just go back and bring me some pancakes."

"Okay, I'll take it for you." Yuzi turned and walked towards the cafeteria.

Yao Xiaoqing dug some clay piled inside with a stone hoe, scooped water into it, took off the straw sandals, and stepped on the clay until it was sticky.Added two scoops of oyster ash to it, and after mixing evenly, picked up some earthen bricks and prepared to build a taller cylinder stove.

Panting, Yuzi came over with a vegetable basket, "Xiaoqing, Ah Mu packed you a bowl of eel soup and a few pieces of Sophora japonica cake." After speaking, he put down the bamboo basket to help carry the bricks,

Yao Xiaoqing went to the ditch to wash her hands, smiled and said to her: "You go back to have lunch, I can come here by myself."

Yuzi put down the clay bricks, "Xiaoqing, there is a kiln here, why do you want to build a kiln?"

"What I want is different from this one." Yao Xiaoqing took a sip of the fish soup and waved, "Go back and eat your food."

"Okay, I'm going back." Seeing that he couldn't help, Yuzi put the adobe bricks there and left.

Yao Xiaoqing filled his stomach and started building a kiln.

The kiln is built to a height of one foot, and an air inlet is reserved, and the kiln is built to a height of one meter, and the work is completed.

Use clay added with oyster ash to paste a thick layer on the outside of the kiln, put your hands in a ladle and dip it in water, and smooth the inside and outside of the kiln without leaving any gaps.

After it was done, I checked it again, went to the ditch to wash off the yellow mud on my feet, and took my shoes to the bamboo shed at the foot of the mountain.

I found a round wooden board, a moso bamboo tube about one meter long, with a thick bowl mouth, and used a wooden stick to break through the middle bamboo joint, and then found a smaller bamboo tube to break through, and took it to the stone tool room.

Seeing her coming in with a big bamboo tube, Shan Shan asked with a smile, "Xiaoqing, what are you using the bamboo tube for?"

"Uncle Shan, do you still have duck feathers? I'm going to make something." Yao Xiaoqing smiled.

"It's all there!" Shan pointed to the big basket in the corner, "Do you want Uncle Shan to help you?"

Yao Xiaoqing nodded with a smile, "Okay! You help me cut this round wooden board a little smaller, just enough to fit into the bamboo tube. After cutting it, cut a circle of grooves in the middle of the side."

Shan took the board, "Okay, what else should I do?"

Yao Xiaoqing picked up the wooden stick, "After it is done, cut a round hole in the center of the wooden board, insert this piece of wood in it, and fix it with fish glue." She plans to use the wooden board as a piston.

After Shan wrote it down, he smiled and took the wooden bamboo tube, "Okay, you wait."

Yao Xiaoqing went to grab some wild duck feathers and put them on the stone slab, found a few rattan ropes, and began to tie the duck feathers.

More than a dozen duck feathers are tied into a small bundle, and a total of more than a dozen bundles are tied together with hemp rope.

After tying it up, Jianshan was still busy digging grooves there.

Pick up the big bamboo tube placed on the stone slab, use a bow drill to drill a round hole at the bottom, and insert the small bamboo tube into the round hole.I picked some isinglass and fixed the bamboo tube.

When done, it looks a bit like a hookah.

Shan handed the finished wooden piston to Yao Xiaoqing, "See if it works?"

Yao Xiaoqing took a look at it, smiled and gave a thumbs up and praised: "Uncle Shan's craftsmanship is of course worth mentioning."

Shan looked at the big chimney and smiled, "Xiaoqing, what are you doing?"

Yao Xiaoqing smiled and said, "I'll make a blower, which is a way to increase the wind force."

Shan didn't know what a blower was, so he didn't ask much, watching her busy.

Yao Xiaoqing stuck the tied duck feathers into the grooves of the wooden board, and tied them tightly after two turns. After thinking about it, he got some fish glue and put it on the rope to fix it.

Put the piston into the pipe and prepare to try the blowing effect.

Yao Xiaoqing smiled and said to Shan: "Uncle Shan, hold the bamboo tube for me."

Shan smiled and stepped forward to hold the bamboo tube, Yao Xiaoqing pressed down the piston, and a gust of wind blew out from the ventilation tube.

Shan looked at the blown stone debris in surprise, "Xiaoqing, there is wind blowing out of the bamboo tube."

"It will be fine if there is wind." Yao Xiaoqing laughed happily.

Shan looked at the piston rod, "Xiaoqing, put a stick on the wood, it's more convenient to use."

Yao Xiaoqing nodded with a smile, "Okay, Uncle Shan has a bright eye."
