A leisurely life in ancient times

Chapter 261 Planting things, testing the waters (eight more)

"Such a good animal skin, why don't we ask the tribesmen to help us sew it?" Cao asked uncertainly, she was worried that they would spoil this rare thing.

Jiang Qing waved her hand and said: "It's okay, your sewing skills are well-known in the tribe, so feel free to toss around. By the way, I forgot to ask the tribe what kind of clothes they used to get married?"

Thinking about the crude sewing skills of the previous tribesmen.Jiang Qing felt that this was more important than the others.Is it also poking a few holes in the animal skin, and then using animal tendons to randomly make a bunch of them?Thinking of this, she suddenly felt goose bumps on the back of her neck.

Although she didn't care how to toss that red fox fur, but it was too extravagant to toss like this?
Seeing Jiang Qing's ugly face, Cao couldn't help laughing.

Naturally, she understood what Jiang Qing was worried about, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the clothes of the clan are all copied from the clan, and they are very beautiful. If you are curious and want to see it, I will show you the clothes of my mother's marriage. look?"

"Okay!" Jiang Qing didn't refuse, and nodded seriously.

She is really curious about the clothes worn by the tribe when they get married.She had seen the sacrificial clothes, and felt that they ruined the three views, but fortunately, Tian Yun looked good.Otherwise, I really can't stand it, especially the three colorful long feathers on the top of the head, which are said to be the tail wings of the divine bird.

Jiang Qing really wanted to say, the tail of the divine bird was clearly the tail feathers of a peacock.

But she was very restrained and didn't growl.

Because, Lang Mo also has two such tail feathers, which he treasures very preciously.In addition to tail feathers, priests and patriarchs also wear necklaces made of shells, which are said to be a symbol of status.

Jiang Qing had only seen these before.

But I didn't see them actually wearing them. When they got married, they had to offer sacrifices to heaven and pray for blessings.At that time, maybe she had a chance to watch it, but now that Lang Mo's hair is cut short, how should he wear the tail feathers?The rest of the tribe followed the trend, and all cut their long hair short. Now when I went for a walk around the tribe, I found that all of them had short hair. I don't know if it was intentional or they had cut their heads too much, but they left their hair short. plate.

After pressing the gravel path once, Jiang Qing put down the plank.Without iron tools, she had to ask Lang Mo to make three wooden hoes and two wooden shovels.

The gravel road has been completed, and stones have been laid on the side of the well, and a wooden shed has been built on it, and the bucket is tied to the handle with green vines.Just after the rain stopped, the water in the well was still very turbid. It may take some time for the water in the well to settle before it becomes clear again.

After taking the wooden hoe, she planned to get the help of Luo Shan and the two of them to clear a small vegetable field and try to plant corn and wheat.After finishing these tasks, it's time to prepare to sew the clothes for the wedding.The vegetables and fruits hoarded at home are enough to meet the meals when we get married. Besides, the food that day is still mainly barbecue.

Although, they really want to eat pancakes.But we all know that there are not many corn and wheat.

After eating pancakes made of cornmeal, Lang Mo fell in love with the meat buns and noodles made by Jiang Qing.Although the steamed bun tastes good, Lang Mo thinks it needs to be served with barbecue to taste delicious.

The meat buns are good, they are full of meat in one bite.

The noodles are made with bone broth, the thick and fragrant bone broth, paired with large pieces of meat, tastes delicious!After eating, he even licked the bowl very clean.

It's a pity that there are too few, he wants to leave it for Jiang Qing to eat.So I usually exercise restraint, and eat barbecue to fill my stomach most of the time.

"Jiang Qing, what are you going to do?" Luo Shan held a hoe and looked at Jiang Qing curiously.

Jiang Qing said: "This is a hoe. I plan to use it to plow the ground, and then plant corn and wheat." As he spoke, he swung the hoe and began to plow the ground.

The hoe was very heavy, and he was worried that it would break if he dug it. Jiang Qing specifically asked Lang Mo to make it stronger.To be strong means to be bulky, but fortunately, the body has become a lot stronger, otherwise it would be very troublesome to even swing it, let alone hold a digger like before.

The grass and the two started to plow the ground following Jiang Qing's example.At the beginning, I was a little awkward and didn't know how to exert myself, but gradually I became proficient.After a while, the speed was twice as fast as Jiang Qing's. Jiang Qing was speechless. Is this because she dislikes her slow movements?
Carefully clean out the weed roots in the soil, and pick out the gravel and throw it aside.Seeing that they were almost done, Jiang Qing stopped the two of them, and she turned around and went into the house to take out the corn and wheat seeds.

Divide the overturned land into two parts, one for corn and one for wheat.

Wheat needs to store water. Jiang Qing separated the corn and wheat by a certain distance, built ridges with soil, and dug ditches for each row. After all, Jiang Qing had no choice but to try.

She didn't know whether to soak the wheat seeds, but she soaked them in warm water anyway, and was relieved when she saw some malt.Unlike the random planting of corn, the wheat seeds were carefully sprinkled down, and then lightly covered with soil.

After finishing the work, I only felt sore back and back pain. With the same area of ​​land, it takes half the time to plant wheat seeds than corn. I hope to have a good result.

"Is this okay?" Cao rolled her trouser legs, her hands were covered in wet mud, but her expression was very serious.These things are related to the future of the tribe, and they dare not be careless in the slightest.

"It's almost there!" Jiang Qing squinted, feeling uncertain, and said, "Let's see if it can sprout in two days? I've never planted wheat before, so I'm at a loss about the specific situation, and I can always plant it by groping slowly." She I don't worry much about the corn, but the wheat is a bit abrasive.

"This...do you want to surround it with green vines?" Luo Shan asked, staring at the empty place.

Jiang Qing rolled her eyes, and said angrily, "How can I surround the back of my house? Besides, I haven't had time to fence the front of my house. I'll talk about the back when I have time..."

Thinking about it, I felt that what Jiang Qing said was reasonable, although she was still a little entangled, she still followed Jiang Qing and left.But look back at every step, I wish I could stay here and wait for them to take root and sprout.

"Stop dawdling, hurry up and make something to eat, they should come back for lunch later!" Jiang Qing shouted.It's getting late, and I've been busy all morning.Calculating the time, the altar should be completed, and Langmo and the others should come back for lunch and prepare for clearing the road in the afternoon.

Hearing this, the two reluctantly looked away, washed their hands and prepared to light a fire for cooking.

Barbecue and sweet potatoes are the staple food. Recently, Jiang Qing steamed sweet potatoes and mashed them, and then ate them with barbecue.The taste is actually very good, not worse than pancakes, and the sweet potato tribe has a lot of them, even if they are evenly divided, each family has several rattan baskets.

In the past few days, Cao and Luo Shan ate at Jiang Qing's place in the name of learning how to cook, and they brought over a lot of food.That day, Luo Shan was very resentful for not being able to eat pancakes. These days, she wished she could stick to Jiang Qing, and she was no longer afraid of Lang Mo's cold face.
