Farming in the Primitive Tribe

Shen Xiaoxiao picked a few peppers and looked around. It might be because there was a water source nearby. The vegetation here was very rich. Not only were there peppers, there were even sheep coming to drink water, but they ran away when they saw them.

Shen Xiaoxiao saw something hanging on the mountain wall on the right. When he got closer, his eyes suddenly lit up. This was Gourd Melon. Shen Xiaoxiao pulled the vine and found that the area was quite wide. He guessed that there might be more than One plant, with several gourds hanging on it, some already dried and some newly grown.

Shen Xiaoxiao wanted to pick two back, "Xiao Yan, come here and see if you can pick them." Anyway, she couldn't count on them. They were so high that she couldn't pick them even if she jumped.

"Which one do you want?"

"Can I pick the dried one?" Shen Xiaoxiao pointed to the dried gourd hanging at the top. If not, she would pull off the vine.

"Okay." Xiao Yan looked at the position, grabbed the mountain wall with his hands and climbed up half a meter, and then picked the gourd that Shen Xiaoxiao wanted. He saw that there was a dried gourd covered under the leaves. , and picked two more gourds that looked very tender.

Shen Xiaoxiao couldn't help but laugh. This was really a pillow for dozing off. She was also thinking about what she would use to scoop out the water if she filled it with water in a water tank, so the gourd was delivered to her.

"This is gourd melon. It can be eaten when cooked." Shen Xiaoxiao briefly told them that there were actually a lot of good things in the mountains, but they just wasted them if they didn't know them.

Just as he was about to call them back, Shen Xiaoxiao's eyes turned white. After a closer look, she opened her eyes slightly and walked over quickly. Her eyes were instantly filled with joy. This turned out to be Tremella fungus, a dry tree trunk covered with There are white fungus, and the flowers are very plump.

You must know that Tremella fuciformis was a valuable tonic in ancient times, and the quantity was very small. She did not expect to see it here, but after thinking about it, it seemed normal. After all, this was an era longer than ancient times, and it was normal to have these things. After all, Just because they don't know it doesn't mean they don't have it.

Almost instantly, Shen Xiaoxiao had the idea of ​​taking it back, but the key was that she didn't have the tools to take it back, and if she didn't take it back, she would worry about being eaten or ruined by other animals.

Xiao Yan saw what Shen Xiaoxiao wanted and said, "You can take it back." It's just a piece of tree, so there's no need to be so entangled.

Whether it's the tree or the things on it, just take them back.

Shen Xiaoxiao nodded. These white fungi can be transplanted. Go back and get some sawdust to raise. Then you don't have to worry about whether you have finished eating or looking for them.

Xiao Yan asked Ashu to pick up the things, and the three of them left the stream.

When they almost returned to the tribe, Ashu gave them what he was holding and then left Xiao Yan there. It was still early and Xiao Yan would go into the mountain again.

After returning to the tribe, she put her things away and took advantage of the time to make two small dustpans to dry the white fungus.

As soon as she finished her work, the people from the tribe came back. Some of them carried a bundle of vines, some carried a load, and some carried prey or wild fruits. The group walked back to the tribe talking and laughing.

"Goddess, we brought the vine back." Daya put the things away and stepped forward excitedly.

Shen Xiaoxiao was slightly shocked. Their movements were indeed very fast.

Others gathered around and started chatting, and it was obvious that they were very interested in basket weaving.

They wanted to learn now, but Shen Xiaoxiao said to start after eating the food. After all, even if they were not hungry, the cubs were hungry, so they had no choice but to hold back and process the food and bake it first.

Shen Xiaoxiao caught the remaining rabbit, cleaned it, and then roasted it on the fire. Xiao Yan also came back after it was roasted, and brought back a large bundle of rattan.

After eating the food, Shen Xiaoxiao taught them basket weaving. She originally wanted to teach them tomorrow, but they all showed extreme enthusiasm, and since it was still early, she did not refuse.

Shen Xiaoxiao was surrounded in the middle. She carefully explained to them with a cane, teaching them step by step. Although it was already night, the moonlight was shining down, and everyone could see her movements clearly, and it was not difficult to learn. The bottoms of the baskets were knitted out one by one quickly, and Shen Xiaoxiao then taught them how to weave the basket body. The learning here was not very smooth. Some were afraid of breaking the vines and did not dare to use force to knit the baskets, which were still flat. , some are tightened too hard, resulting in a wide bottom and a small basket body.

Helpless, Shen Xiaoxiao had no choice but to give them personal guidance and teach them some techniques. Slowly, they were able to make it up. Although the speed was not fast, they were all developing in a good direction.

Although Erya didn't like Shen Xiaoxiao, she still studied with the team. She knew it was good for her, so no matter how unhappy she was with Shen Xiaoxiao, she could bear to listen to her carefully.

But she was still stumped. Seeing that others had already made up a lot, she was still stuck at the bottom, and couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

Shen Xiaoxiao also noticed Erya's predicament. She didn't want to pay attention to it at first. After all, Erya didn't ask her, but she thought that since she taught her, there was no need to deliberately embarrass her or pretend she didn't see it.

"If you want to fold them all, you can make a circle out of these vines first." He added, "Or you can braid one vine first and then another one. This will be better, and the braided vines will not return to their original shape. Bit."

Erya glanced at her and said nothing, but her movements were very honest. She weaved them one by one according to what Shen Xiaoxiao said. The vines that were originally particularly disobedient in her hands were now extremely obedient.

After meeting her, Shen Xiaoxiao didn't say anything else and knitted it herself. After all, only two baskets were not enough.

A group of people stopped knitting until late at night. Shen Xiaoxiao knitted a new one. The others still had some finishing touches, knowing that they wanted to use them tomorrow. Shen Xiaoxiao taught them the finishing touches without reservation, and everyone took them with satisfaction. Wearing the newly made basket, we returned to the cave.

The next day, the young males and females of the tribe went into the mountains to hunt and pick, while the older ones stayed in the tribe to weave baskets. In the past, they were idle in the tribe, but now they can be busy and can also help the tribe. In their hearts Not to mention how happy they are, after all, they can't hunt, not even as cubs. After all, cubs can hunt and gather for the tribe when they grow up, but they are getting older day by day, freeloading in the tribe, now they can do something Let them do it, and they won't be much happier.

Today, Shen Xiaoxiao did not go into the mountains with Xiao Yan. The pottery was dried and she wanted to make pottery. Moreover, she had to process the many persimmons she had picked and dry them into persimmons. Otherwise, they would rot if left for too long, and their efforts would be in vain. Time brings it back.

Shen Xiaoxiao found an open place, spread a layer of firewood on the ground, then placed the pottery pieces one by one, added firewood on top to cover the pottery pieces, and then lit them.

Others were originally curious about what she was doing, but when they saw the raging fire, they couldn't help but feel nervous. They quickly asked her what she was doing, why she had burned all the firewood, and whether they were going to spend the winter again?
