The world of beasts breeds mountains and rivers [farming]
Work related (71)
"
As Ren Heyin said, he rolled two of them, put them in the back basket, and closed the lid by the way.
There are this kind of insects in the fields of the tribe, and there must be some in their fields. They will catch a few more later and use them as a dish.
Ren Heyin and Yun Ming went to the field, and the situation was more serious than they imagined. The shadow of this kind of insect can be seen everywhere in the rice field, wheat field and chili field.
He glanced over and saw four or five at once.
"Why are there so many bugs all at once?" Ren Heyin frowned, "I don't know where they came from."
Yunming: "The weather is good and the temperature is high. There are so many crops here, which will definitely attract bugs, and bugs will attract bugs. There will be more of them."
"What should we do now? This bug is flying everywhere, and you can't catch it." Ren Heyin thought for a while, "I wonder if I can buy pesticides online?"
While talking, Ren Heyin grabbed six or seven big bugs with each hand.
"Pesticides are not good, they are too lethal." Yun Ming looked at the scarecrow not far away, and said, "First release the bird on the scarecrow, and let the bird eat the insects."
"It's the only way to do it now. It's a pity that this bird not only eats insects, but also eats rice and wheat."
"How many will lose a part, there are always more worms than birds."
"That too."
Ren Heyin had no choice but to go to the scarecrow and cut the rope that tied the bird.
As soon as the bird of prey was free, it immediately spread its wings and flew away.
Seeing that they let the bird go, the people in the nearby tribe straightened up, "Why did you let the bird go?"
"There are too many bugs in the field, we can't finish them by just catching them, to see if we can attract birds to eat them."
"What about the rice?"
"Birds should not eat rice if they have worms to eat. Even if they want to eat, there is no other way. Let's see if releasing birds to eat worms is effective. If it doesn't work, then catch a few raptors and watch the fields."
Everyone thought it made sense when they heard it, so they simply released other raptors in the field.
For a while, the sky was filled with the sound of birds spreading their wings, fluttering, and dropping a few feathers from time to time.
The big bird flew away, but the little bird didn't come for a while.
Ren Heyin and Yun Ming buried their heads in catching insects.
There is still water in the paddy fields. There are many fish and shrimps in the water, and there are relatively few insects. They mainly go to the wheat fields and pepper fields.
The two large fields were severely damaged by insects, and many leaves were chipped.
Ren Heyin was so distressed that he didn't bother to pick the chili peppers and just caught the worms.
He has quick eyesight and quick hands, one in each hand, catching insects is similar to picking insects on leaves.
There are too many bugs here, basically reaching the level of one in each hand.
The two caught worms for a long time, and caught a basketful.
Yun Ming took a look, "Enough, let's catch so many today."
"Okay, we'll catch it tomorrow."
Ren Heyin dipped the back basket full of worms into the ditch, feeling full of accomplishment for a while.
The water in the canal is flowing slowly, and if the back basket is dipped in, the insects in it will be soaked to death soon, and the water will also take away some bad things, such as the chemical substances released by the insects when they are about to die.
A back basket was placed, and the two of them had three more baskets.
They went into the pepper field with baskets on their backs and started picking peppers.
At that time, Ren Heyin was afraid that there would not be enough peppers to eat, so he specially planted a large area. Now the pepper field is red, and the mature peppers are bumping against the pepper seedlings like chopsticks.
The two hands were quick, and they picked off the plump and thick peppers one by one and put them in the back basket, and they could fill up a back basket in a while.
The three baskets of peppers were quickly filled, and Yunming turned into a beast shape, and together with the basket of worms, he returned to the tribe on his back.
The freshly picked chili peppers are put directly on the sun-drying field. Their chili peppers are fully ripe and not rotten. The peppers are very plump, and they look very beautiful when they are dried in the sun.
Ren Heyin narrowed his eyes, "There are more peppers this year, so we can plant less next year. Maybe we can build another granary for the peppers."
Yun Ming, "No, there are two granaries, one for rice and one for wheat, with dried peppers stuffed inside."
"That's right." Ren Heyin wanted to laugh when he thought of that scene, "I don't know if there is a spicy taste in the rice or flour because there are too many peppers in it."
"It's not that exaggerated."
The two dried the peppers to deal with the bugs.
These bugs may specially pick up their rice stalks and wheat seedlings to eat, and each one is very strong.
Ren Heyin brought the bucket containing pig food, and the two of them dealt with the bugs, tearing off the head together with the internal organs, tearing off the wings, throwing the torn head and wings into the bucket, and later carrying them to feed the white flowers and birds.
Such worms are fried in oil, crispy and fragrant.
Ren Heyin squeezed a hot and fragrant worm into his mouth, "It smells so good."
"Xiang will catch it tomorrow." Yun Ming put the fried worms on the table and put them away, and asked, "What else?"
"Stir-fry a small stir-fry meat, fry a bean dregs tofu, the soup is already rolling, and cook some muddy fruit." Ren Heyin looked at a large wooden basin of worms, "If you eat so many worms, you may get angry, divide them into half Let everyone eat."
Yun Ming nodded, took another clean big tub and put it down.
After the two finished their meal, they began to pound the chili powder.
They have dried several batches of dried chilies in the sun before, and the chilies may be of good quality. The dried chilis are very beautiful and transparent, looking like translucent ruby flakes.
After the chili is pounded, it smells fragrant and sweet.
Ren Heyin poured the pounded peppers into the wooden basin, put the pounded fine salt and spices, and went to the cave to bring out their moldy tofu.
The white mycelium on the moldy tofu has almost disappeared, replaced by a light yellow skin.
Ren Heyin smelled it, and found that the smell of moldy tofu was very restrained, and there was no special smell.
The two poured out a bowl of rice wine, dipped the moldy tofu cubes in the rice wine, soaked the whole body in the wine liquid, then put the moldy tofu into the reconciled chili powder, spice powder, salt powder, rolled it in a circle, and dipped it on all sides Put the powder into the jar.
Ren Heyin had already steamed the jar, so if you take it out now, there should be no bacteria in it.
The two patiently wrapped moldy tofu one by one. After wrapping everything, pour the remaining spice powder into the jar, and then pour in the cooked animal oil fried with ginger, garlic and scallion, so that the animal oil covered the top. Up to a block of tofu.
This kind of moldy tofu is also called fermented bean curd. The version made by Ren Heyin's grandmother is to add high-concentration white wine. There is really no white wine here, so Ren Heyin has to use oil instead of white wine to process the fermented bean curd.
The sealing effect of oil is also good. Many people like to use oil to seal fermented bean curd, and this version is also sold on the market.
Ren Heyin thinks that both versions are fine, each has its own characteristics, and they are both delicious anyway.
After the jar of fermented bean curd is soaked, take it back to the cave, seal it and store it away from light. It can be eaten after about ten days and half a month. However, within the shelf life, the taste of fermented bean curd is better the longer it is soaked. How to grasp this period is up to them. Then explore slowly later.
The two also put away the bean dregs and tofu.
The bean dregs and tofu couldn't be eaten for a while, so Ren Heyin simply put it on a bamboo plaque and put it in the sun to dry.
In summer, the sun is strong, and the bean dregs and tofu can be hardened in a few days.
After the dehydration process, the shelf life of these tofu will be greatly increased, and they can eat it whenever they want.
Ren Heyin likes to stir-fry dried bamboo shoots with hard bean dregs and tofu, which is very interesting to eat.
Bean dregs and tofu are also delicious when used to stir-fry garlic sprouts and peppers. They are very dry and chewy.
Bean dregs and tofu can also be used to fry bugs, but with the joint efforts of them and Mantianniao, the bugs in their fields have become less and less, and it is estimated that they will disappear completely after the rice and wheat disappear.
Ren Heyin still had some regrets, and planned to eat a few more meals while the bugs were still there, so as not to have to wait until next year if he wanted to eat again.

☆, shoot cucumber
In the expectation of Ren Heyin and the others, the first crop of wheat this year is gradually turning yellow.
I don't know when the wheat was painted with a layer of yellow. One day when they came to see it, it suddenly became more yellow.
This kind of yellow is a kind of yellow-green. Looking from a distance, the whole wheat field has changed color.
Ren He stayed hidden by the wheat field, stretched out his hand to pinch the wheat grains, the inside was filled with wheat pulp, it was quite full, and when he put it in his mouth and bit it, it brought a fresh fragrance.
With a movement of his tongue, he spit out the barley husk, "It's almost ready."
Yun Ming took a look and said, "Pull the weeds one last time."
"Row."
Ren Heyin stood in the wheat field, the wheat grew up to the height of his thighs, making his legs itchy.
There is quite a lot of grass in the field, and most of them still pull the big grass, if the grass inside is too small, it will be fine.
There is no need to throw the plucked grass leaves, some are fed to sheep, some are fed to pigs, and they are all good feed.
Ren Heyin stood in the field, sweat running down his neck, washing the plaster in streaks, turning his fair face into a painted face.
When he touched it with his hand, his face was even more smudged.
Yun Ming saw the red mark under his plaster and asked, "Itchy?"
"It's okay, it may have been stained with awns or broken grass." Ren Heyin scratched again, his cheeks flushed red.
Yun Ming touched his face with his hand, pushed his shoulder and said, "Go and wash your face, I'll take care of the rest."
"No, there are still so many grasses, you can pull them out by yourself, when will you have to pull them out?"
"As much as you can pull." Yun Ming grabbed his shoulder, "Go back and cook first."
Ren Heyin raised his head to cover his eyes, glanced at the bright sun in the sky, squinted his eyes and said, "That's fine, it's almost noon, what do you want to eat?"
"It's all right, just watch and do it."
"Then I'll go to the cucumber field next door to see if there are any cucumbers that have grown."
The cucumbers they dug up have been planted for several months. I don't know if it's because of the variety. The cucumber seedlings grow very lushly on the shelf, but they just don't bloom and bear fruit.
At the end of spring, Ren Heyin often patrolled the cucumber fields without giving up, but he looked left and right for a long time, but couldn't find even a single cucumber flower.
They all thought that this cucumber was a local variety and hadn't been domesticated enough to grow cucumbers. They didn't expect that the cucumbers would slowly bloom in summer.
The cucumber flowers on the shelf first bloomed one or two, and the tender yellow flowers swayed in the sun, attracting many bees and butterflies.
There are more and more cucumber flowers, and at the most time, the shelf is full of dots, all of which are yellow cucumber flowers, some are on the leaves, and some are hidden under the leaves.
Ren Heyin saw the shed full of cucumber flowers, and was a little worried that with so many flowers, the cucumbers would be deprived of too much nutrients and not bear fruit.
At that time, he specifically pinched off some flowers and carried out fruit thinning.
Under the cucumber flower, cucumbers slowly formed, a green one, just a little bit at the beginning, so small and half a month later, the big cucumber was already as long as Ren Heyin's arm.
Ren Heyin had seen it many times before, but he was reluctant to pick it off and eat it, and he wanted to wait until the cucumber was ripe.
Now the cucumber should be ready to eat, and the thorns on it are gone.
Ren Heyin carried the basket on his back and touched several cucumbers, and one of them grew very well. He couldn't wait to take it to the ditch and wash it, and then came back to share it with Ren Heyin.
As soon as the cucumber is broken, the fresh fragrance immediately wafts out.
The smell of cucumber was much better than the taste, Ren Heyin couldn't help but feel greedy when he smelled it.
He walked through the wheat field and handed half of it to Yun Ming who was working in the field, "Boss, come and eat a cucumber."
As he spoke, he picked up the end of the cucumber stem and took a big bite.
Cucumber actually has no special taste, neither sweet nor sour, but very refreshing.
Especially in summer, eating such a section of cucumber gives me an indescribable sense of refreshment.
Yun Ming went to the nearby ditch to wash his hands and came back. The two stood on the ridge of the wheat field, tasting each other.
"It tastes good." Yun Ming commented, finished the last bite of cucumber, and then washed his hands, "The sun is too big, you go back and cook first."
"Okay, come back quickly. I'll take a cucumber later. If I leave it for too long, it won't be refreshing."
Yun Ming nodded.
Ren Heyin happily went back with cucumbers on his back. When he returned to the small platform, he specially took a handful of dried beans and another piece of dried meat.
At noon, eat pork with scallion oil, fried tofu, mixed cucumber and wild mushroom soup with white flowers and birds.
When the white flowers and birds went out to work in the morning, they put them in the cooking pot to simmer. At this time, the soup had boiled from the full pot to more than half, and the soup was golden brown. When the pot was opened, a scent came out.
Ren Heyin put the washed mushrooms into the cooking pot, poked the charcoal underneath, added firewood, and continued to boil.
Shooting cucumbers is also easy.
Wash the cucumber, shoot it directly, put it in a large pottery pot, add salt, add minced garlic, ginger and green onion, add a tablespoon of chili oil, and then add the plum soup soaked in cold boiled water to increase the sour taste, mix well and serve eat.
After Ren Heyin took the picture, he specially clipped a section to taste it.
The sour taste of plums is very fresh, and the sour taste of cucumber is also very fresh. The two complement each other, which is surprisingly good. Coupled with just the right amount of chili oil and salt, the taste is quite good.
It has just been mixed now, and the salt is not heavy enough. It should be almost ready when Yunming comes back to eat.
Ren Heyin divided the cucumber into a large bowl, and specially served it to Qing.
He stayed behind today and did not go out to collect.
Qing saw the cucumber and was curious, "What is this?"
"Cucumber, an edible melon, can be eaten as a vegetable or as a fruit." Ren Heyin pushed it to him, "Try it and see if you like it."
Qing tasted a piece, her eyes lit up, and she gave Ren Heyin a thumbs up, "It's very delicious."
Ren Heyin smiled smugly.
Qing held the bowl and asked, "Is your wheat almost ripe?"
"It should be that the wheat should be cut before the rice."
"Do you want the tribe to help?"
Ren Heyin waved his hand, "No, just a little wheat, we can do it ourselves."
The wheat they planted was the seeds brought from the valley, and there were not many in total. It was estimated that it was only four or five tans of wheat. This amount of labor could be easily completed by him and Yunming.
When Qing heard him say no, she smiled, "Then I'll talk to Han."
"it is good."
After Ren Heyin finished speaking, he wanted to go back to cook, but Qing remembered and called him again, "By the way, how are your windows doing?"
Ren Heyin’s windows are fixed with fish-maw glue, and a groove is made on the bottom and side of the window frame. After the glass is clamped in, the top is brushed with fish-maw glue on another horizontal wooden strip and pasted on the wood under the glass and heel. Clamp the glass firmly.
They also brush the isinglass in the groove to fix the glass.
After Ren Heyin and the others were done, they put them in the cave to dry in the shade. Qing waited for several days, but he didn't see that they were going to install glass, so he couldn't help being curious.
Ren Heyin went to see their windows yesterday evening. The isinglass had already dried, and the glass was glued very firmly. The log-colored windows and light yellow transparent glass looked very harmonious.
When Qing asked, his eyes rolled up, "It's already done, we can install the window in two days."
Their window frames have been taken and installed in advance, and the corresponding iron nails have also been punched on the window sash. When installing, just put the window up directly, and it is not laborious.
Qing asked: "When is Ann, can we go and see?"
"Yes, it's all right, you can watch it whenever you want."
After Ren Heyin finished speaking, he went back to the small platform on the mountain to cook. During lunch, he told Yun Ming about it.
"Boss, why don't we carry the glass windows behind and go down and fix the windows?" Ren Heyin was really looking forward to the windows being installed in the house.
"Okay." Yun Ming replied, "Go after taking a nap."
"Why take a nap, we'll go right after dinner, how can we sleep now?" Ren Heyin took a piece of cucumber for him, "Come, come, let's finish eating and leave quickly."
"Sleep first and then sleep, the weather is too hot, I'm afraid you will have a headache."
"It's not a headache." Ren Heyin thought about it, "Then let's sleep for a while, and then get up and fix the windows."
It was too hot in summer, and the farm work was too tiring. Ren Heyin tried to stay focused, and got up after sleeping for half an hour.
The two carried the finished window sashes on their backs in baskets, and thick hay was placed between the window sashes to prevent the glass from being damaged.
Installing the windows is very simple, with five rooms and ten windows, among which the window in the living room is particularly large, and you can see the distant mountains outside when you push it open.
They don't have to worry about mosquitoes, and they don't have to weave the window sashes, just hang the windows up.
After Ren Heyin installed the windows, he couldn't help walking back and forth between several rooms. The house with black bricks and black tiles is quite cool, especially when the windows and doors are opened for ventilation.
He touched here and there, and if the tiles hadn't been fired, they could have moved in by now.
"Why don't we take the time to make the tiles these days?" Ren Heyin sat on the kang, "Fire it out as soon as possible and move as soon as possible."
"It's too hot now, and the clay dries too quickly, and it's easy to crack." Yunming said, "We'll talk about it after harvesting the rice."
"It will take many more days." Ren Heyin lay on his back on the kang, "It's really exciting."
"It's coming soon. It's less than a month. Let's prepare the furniture first."
"The furniture is almost done, pots and pans, tables and chairs, clothing... What else do you need?"
"barn."
"Yes, the granary has to be done first." Ren Heyin breathed out softly, "Speaking of the granary, I kind of want to build another house as a granary."
"No need to build, it's enough for the time being." Yun Ming said, "We can pile the bottles and cans on the barn."
"Yes, the boxes are also on the top to maximize the utilization of space. We can put less things in the living room and the room, and it looks relatively dry."
The two discussed back and forth in the room, Ren Heyin's voice became softer as he spoke, and fell asleep lying on the kang made of blue bricks unconsciously.
Yun Ming looked down at his sleeping face, with a smile in his eyes.

☆, ginseng soup
The most tiring part of farm work is the period of scrambling to plant and harvest. Ren Heyin fully felt this when harvesting wheat.
When the wheat is completely yellow, the rice is almost yellow, and the rice must be harvested after the wheat is harvested.
Ren Heyin and Yun Ming didn't ask other people in the tribe to help, so they went to the field with a scythe to cut wheat.
"Our wheat doesn't seem to be growing very well." Ren Heyin cut off a stalk of wheat and held the ears of wheat in front of his eyes, "It's far worse than rice."
The grains of this ear of wheat are a bit shriveled, and the number of grains is far less than that of an ear of rice.
"A matter of breed."
"Since we have wheat here, the introduction of wheat should not be restricted. Why don't we spend some money to introduce fine varieties?"
"Harvest this batch of wheat first, taste the taste of the wheat, and then consider introducing new varieties."
"Then hurry up and cut it. Try to cut it and dry it in the sun in the next two days, otherwise there will be no place to dry the wheat after harvesting the rice."
Their rice drying field is a naturally formed stone wall, and the place is not too big. Last year, they barely dried their rice. This year, it will be difficult to dry their wheat and so much rice in the tribe.
They have to dry and harvest the wheat first, and then try to dry the wheat as quickly as possible to give up the drying field.
Ren Heyin bent down and buried his head in cutting the wheat.
The wheat is all yellow, from the ear to the stalk, it is bright yellow, much yellower than rice.
Ren Heyin worked hard, and after a while, sweat came out and fell down his cheeks, some sweat even crossed his eyebrows and hit his eyes.
Ren Heyin lifted up her clothes and wiped off her sweat, revealing rows of smooth abdominal muscles.
Yunming next to him had already mowed to the front of the old man, and a large piece of wheat fell down amidst the rustling sound.
Sensing Ren Heyin's gaze, Yun Ming straightened up and looked at him, "Tired?"
Ren Heyin shook his head, "It's okay, I'm not too tired, just wipe off my sweat."
As he spoke, he bent down hastily and began to cut the wheat neatly.
At noon, the two of them didn't go back to have lunch, so they sat on the ridge of the field, ate two large pieces of fried meat and muddled fruits with plain water, and after filling their stomachs, they went back to the wheat field.
This is the way to do these hard work, you can't rest too much, you must grit your teeth and hold your breath to finish the work. Once you relax, it will not be so easy to get up and work again.
Their wheat fields were not too many, and the two of them worked quickly. After two o'clock in the afternoon, the two of them cut all the wheat.
The harvested wheat is carried to the side of the grain drying field, and the big stone is pulled around on it to grind the wheat down.
The weather has been fine these two days, without rain, so the wheat can spend the night in the sun-drying field without taking it back.
Yunming was very strong and successfully milled the wheat. After seven o'clock in the evening, they finally spread out all the wheat to dry.
Ren Heyin rubbed his arms, his back was sore and his back was sore, he could hardly lift his arms up, but fortunately, he had already finished his work today, so he had a night's rest, and he would be much better when he woke up tomorrow.
Yun Ming pinched his arms for him, "Tired? Shall I carry you back?"
"No, it's just a few steps, just walk." Ren Heyin thumped his waist, "This year's wheat seems to be quite fragrant. When the wheat is dry, let's make a meal of dumplings."
"What stuffing do you eat?"
Ren Heyin blurted out without thinking, "Pork mushrooms and pork bamboo shoots!"
Their pigs are well raised. After being tired for so long, after the wheat is ground, they should kill one to try something new.
"Okay, it's time to kill the pig. Is there anything else you want to eat?"
"No, just dumplings. By the way, after the rice comes down, we can make some vinegar and dip the dumplings in vinegar to eat."
"Same as brewing?"
"I have never brewed it, nor have I seen anyone brew it, but I heard it is easier than brewing wine."
Ren Heyin's eyes lit up, "It's definitely too late now, but we should be able to taste the vinegar during the Chinese New Year."
They don't celebrate Chinese New Year here, Yun Ming didn't remind them, but instead said: "Soy bean paste should come out during Chinese New Year."
"Yes, you should be able to eat soy sauce during the Chinese New Year, and soy sauce will have to wait until next year or the year after. We have already moved to a new home for the Chinese New Year. Take your time, and sooner or later we will be able to eat it."
Speaking of food, Ren Heyin forgot about his sore back and sore back, and happily talked all the way back to the tribe.
The people in the tribe knew that they were harvesting wheat today, so they specially reserved food for them.
The dinner was very rich, two big bowls of soup, a plate of fried fish, a plate of fried meat, and a plate of round and light yellow particles fried with minced chili and scallions, which looked a bit like eggs.
Ren Heyin took one, held it up to his eyes and looked carefully, "What is this?"
Bei's face was full of smiles, "Guess?"
"What kind of egg is it?" Ren Heyin held up this thing and stuffed it into his mouth. Baba's muddy fruit has become much more delicious.
Ren Heyin's eyes were a little surprised, "It's delicious, what exactly is it?"
"Ant eggs!" Bei was proud, "Wugu and the others found a large nest of ant eggs today."
The ants in the forest are all big, especially the nest that Wu Gu and the others dug out. Looking at the size of the eggs, you can tell that the nest of ants must be difficult to mess with.
Ren Heyin gave a thumbs up, "It's really amazing."
Wu Gu was next to him, "It's nothing, this nest of ants is by the river, we saw it, and directly flooded the ant nest, and it was easy to get the eggs."
Ren Heyin asked: "You were not bitten by ants, were you?"
"No, we're all very careful." Wu Gu smiled, "We still saw a litter of big ones nearby today, and we'll dig out after a few days if we want to eat."
Ren Heyin said: "You all pay attention to safety."
Wu Gu nodded and asked them in turn, "Yin, how is your wheat harvest going? Do you want to help?"
"No, everything has been harvested. The situation is better than I imagined. We have harvested a total of six loads of wheat."
These six dans of wheat contain water, and there are quite a lot of straws, but it is still a surprise to have six tans of wheat.
They can keep two loads of wheat for seeds, and grind the remaining four loads into flour to eat slowly.
Noodles, wontons, buns, dumplings, bread, cakes... as long as there is flour, they can make them all.
When they grow wheat next year, they can also buy higher-yielding varieties, and order more varieties of wheat in the future. They usually eat rice and noodles, and noodles and dumplings.
Of course, when there is enough rice, they can also make some rice noodles to eat.
In the future, various staple foods will be eaten every day, and it will be wonderful to think about it.
Bei poked his head out from the side, "Are you going to dry the wheat tomorrow? Let us old people help you dry the wheat? We don't have anything to do when we are idle."
"Okay."
The work of drying the wheat is not tiring, Ren Heyin didn't give up too much, "It's great that you can help, then we are going to cut the rice."
"So fast, isn't the rice turning yellow?"
"If it's all yellow and too ripe, it's about a few days away. Let's cut it first. After cutting, we will make room for the tribe to cut. The rice barrels and drying grounds will also be freed to avoid collisions."
Summer and autumn are relatively rainy, and the weather is fine now, so we still have to hurry up to work, otherwise, when the rain comes, especially when the rice has not been harvested, it will be easy to knock down the rice.
The rice is so small, if it falls on the ground, it is impossible to pick it up, and it is useless to put white flowers and birds, and the rice grains will be buried in the soil soon.
Ren Heyin's grandma's small county town also has people farming. When he was a child, he went to the fields with his friends to play. He often heard that so-and-so's rice was harvested late, and the rice fell to the ground.
Many people even specially drive their own ducks to the fields where a lot of rice has fallen, so that the ducks can dig into the mud to find food.
The people who drive the ducks drive the ducks to this kind of field. In the morning, the ducks can eat so much that their stomachs are heavy, and when they reach out to touch them, they can feel the creaking rice grains inside through the skin of the ducks.
Ren Heyin touched it when he was a child, and he remembers these things very clearly.
He would rather harvest the rice earlier, even if it is not the best time, and he is unwilling to wait too long, waiting for the rice to fall on the ground to save the birds.
On such a hot day, how long does it take for rice to germinate in the ground?
The water and heat conditions here are not enough to support the growth of rice. It is a pity that when the next crop is harvested, these half-grown rice seedlings will be frozen to death in winter.
Ren Heyin and Yun Ming finished their meal, went up to find Qing and the others, and told them about harvesting wheat and rice.
Han heard the words and said, "Tomorrow, the tribe will help to cut it together?"
"No, everyone in the tribe is also busy. If some people are sent to help us cut the rice, we won't be able to arrange the people who hunt and gather and take care of the fields."
"It's okay, you don't have much rice, you can cut it in half a day."
"Alright, you guys come tomorrow. After cutting our rice, you are just about to cut the rice in the tribe. The rice in the tribe is also growing similarly, so we can't wait any longer."
After the discussions were over, Ren Heyin and Yun Ming went back to the cave to pack their clothes.
After working all day, their bodies are covered with stinky sweat, and they have to take a shower before going to bed.
It's been a little cooler at night.
If calculated according to the climate on the earth, it is already the end of August and the beginning of September, and it will soon be autumn again.
After Ren Heyin and the others finished harvesting the rice, they mixed the mud and prepared to make tiles.
The seaweed is almost used up, so we have to fish it again. After it is fished, it will be dried and ground with mud, and then it will be used for laying bricks.
During the period, they had to find time to get some salt back, and dig bamboo shoots, mushrooms, and wild vegetables by the way. After autumn, these things will be less, and they have to prepare and dry them in advance, so that there will be enough dry goods to eat in winter.
The cucumbers in the field are growing more and more, and they can't finish them now. In addition to giving some to the tribe, Ren Heyin also wants to pickle some cucumbers as side dishes.
Pickled cucumber tastes very good. Like dried radish, it is one of the side dishes that are most suitable for porridge.
They are now making pickled cucumbers, and they will have side dishes for porridge, noodles, and even dumplings and wontons in autumn and winter.
After pickling the cucumbers, the cotton should have grown, and they had to think about picking the cotton.
It takes a lot of energy to pick cotton, whether it is spinning and weaving, or making cotton quilts, cotton clothes and cotton shoes.
Ren Heyin was soaking in the hot spring, quickly going through the things he had to do recently, while falling asleep.
Yun Ming soaked next to him, and heard his little snoring after a while.
Yun Ming sighed silently, picked him up after he fell asleep, changed back to the animal shape, picked him up on his back, and quickly ran back to the tribe with him on his back.
The tribe at night is very quiet.
The tribe has always kept the tradition of sentry sentry. No matter day or night, there is at least one orc at the two checkpoints.
The sentry work is done by the orcs in turn. In the entire tribe, only Yunming belongs to Ren Heyin's group. They have a semi-cooperative relationship with the tribe and do not need to participate in the daily affairs of the tribe.
When they went back, they happened to be on guard.
Tu looked at Ren Heyin who was sleeping soundly on Yunming's back, his fair face blushing from sleep, his eyes flashed, and the hope in his heart completely dissipated.
No one could be a better partner than these two, not even him.
Ren Heyin got up very early the next day. He and Yunming worked together in a division of labor. One went out to feed and milk the livestock, the other cooked on the small platform, and sharpened the sickle by the way.
The rest of the tribe also got up. Those who had sickles took out their sickles and sharpened them, and those without sickles also sharpened their stone knives to prepare for the next rice harvesting.
After breakfast, everyone came to Ren Heyin's field and started working with their heads down.
"Hidden, the rice barrels are still in the sun-drying field?"
"Yes, we have to choose the threshing side." Ren Heyin straightened his waist, "Everyone has worked hard today."
"It's not hard, it can be done in one morning."
"What's so hard about it?"
"That's right, this kind of work. Yin, you should go to the threshing side to direct? We have enough people here."
Ren Heyin raised his head, and the people in the tribe asked him to hand over the rice fields to them, and went to the grain drying field to take command.
Yun Ming also stood up, "Go."
"Then I'll go, I'll leave this place to you."
Quan said: "Leave it to us, don't worry."
Ren Heyin handed the sickle to an orc who was cutting rice with a stone knife, washed his hands in the ditch next to it, and went to the grain drying field.
There are already many people on the grain drying ground, and the old people are raking the wheat over and over again with a rake, trying to pull out the sundries inside.
Seeing Ren Heyin coming, the old people greeted, "Yin, come and see if it's okay for us to hang out like this?"
"What's inappropriate? It's just the same as drying rice."
Ren Heyin poured the straw they raked out into the basket next to it. These straws can be used as extra meals for the sheep, and the sheep quite like it.
After pouring out the straw, he greeted Bei and the others, "Uncle Bei, please help me move the rice barrel down."
"Where is this rice bucket going?"
"It's just down there on the yellow muddy ground. It's full of wheat in the sun. I won't be able to come out for a while. I'll throw rice here later. It's not good to mix rice with the wheat. Just go down and throw it down."
"So much rice, where do you put it after it's broken?"
"First dry it on the muddy ground below, and transfer it to the grain drying field for two days."
"Can this wheat be dried in two days?"
"If you can't do it, there's nothing you can do. Put it away first. I think it won't be damaged if you put it in our new house to dry. When there is room for it, let's dry it again."
Their new houses are all paved with green bricks, even if the green bricks are not too smooth, they can be used to dry wheat and rice without any problem.
At that time, they put the half-dried wheat and rice in the house to spread out to dry, open the doors and windows, and let them dry for a few more days, and they should be able to dry.
It’s dried over there, and the rice in the tribe should be able to finish drying in the rice drying field here.
As Ren Heyin said, he rolled two of them, put them in the back basket, and closed the lid by the way.
There are this kind of insects in the fields of the tribe, and there must be some in their fields. They will catch a few more later and use them as a dish.
Ren Heyin and Yun Ming went to the field, and the situation was more serious than they imagined. The shadow of this kind of insect can be seen everywhere in the rice field, wheat field and chili field.
He glanced over and saw four or five at once.
"Why are there so many bugs all at once?" Ren Heyin frowned, "I don't know where they came from."
Yunming: "The weather is good and the temperature is high. There are so many crops here, which will definitely attract bugs, and bugs will attract bugs. There will be more of them."
"What should we do now? This bug is flying everywhere, and you can't catch it." Ren Heyin thought for a while, "I wonder if I can buy pesticides online?"
While talking, Ren Heyin grabbed six or seven big bugs with each hand.
"Pesticides are not good, they are too lethal." Yun Ming looked at the scarecrow not far away, and said, "First release the bird on the scarecrow, and let the bird eat the insects."
"It's the only way to do it now. It's a pity that this bird not only eats insects, but also eats rice and wheat."
"How many will lose a part, there are always more worms than birds."
"That too."
Ren Heyin had no choice but to go to the scarecrow and cut the rope that tied the bird.
As soon as the bird of prey was free, it immediately spread its wings and flew away.
Seeing that they let the bird go, the people in the nearby tribe straightened up, "Why did you let the bird go?"
"There are too many bugs in the field, we can't finish them by just catching them, to see if we can attract birds to eat them."
"What about the rice?"
"Birds should not eat rice if they have worms to eat. Even if they want to eat, there is no other way. Let's see if releasing birds to eat worms is effective. If it doesn't work, then catch a few raptors and watch the fields."
Everyone thought it made sense when they heard it, so they simply released other raptors in the field.
For a while, the sky was filled with the sound of birds spreading their wings, fluttering, and dropping a few feathers from time to time.
The big bird flew away, but the little bird didn't come for a while.
Ren Heyin and Yun Ming buried their heads in catching insects.
There is still water in the paddy fields. There are many fish and shrimps in the water, and there are relatively few insects. They mainly go to the wheat fields and pepper fields.
The two large fields were severely damaged by insects, and many leaves were chipped.
Ren Heyin was so distressed that he didn't bother to pick the chili peppers and just caught the worms.
He has quick eyesight and quick hands, one in each hand, catching insects is similar to picking insects on leaves.
There are too many bugs here, basically reaching the level of one in each hand.
The two caught worms for a long time, and caught a basketful.
Yun Ming took a look, "Enough, let's catch so many today."
"Okay, we'll catch it tomorrow."
Ren Heyin dipped the back basket full of worms into the ditch, feeling full of accomplishment for a while.
The water in the canal is flowing slowly, and if the back basket is dipped in, the insects in it will be soaked to death soon, and the water will also take away some bad things, such as the chemical substances released by the insects when they are about to die.
A back basket was placed, and the two of them had three more baskets.
They went into the pepper field with baskets on their backs and started picking peppers.
At that time, Ren Heyin was afraid that there would not be enough peppers to eat, so he specially planted a large area. Now the pepper field is red, and the mature peppers are bumping against the pepper seedlings like chopsticks.
The two hands were quick, and they picked off the plump and thick peppers one by one and put them in the back basket, and they could fill up a back basket in a while.
The three baskets of peppers were quickly filled, and Yunming turned into a beast shape, and together with the basket of worms, he returned to the tribe on his back.
The freshly picked chili peppers are put directly on the sun-drying field. Their chili peppers are fully ripe and not rotten. The peppers are very plump, and they look very beautiful when they are dried in the sun.
Ren Heyin narrowed his eyes, "There are more peppers this year, so we can plant less next year. Maybe we can build another granary for the peppers."
Yun Ming, "No, there are two granaries, one for rice and one for wheat, with dried peppers stuffed inside."
"That's right." Ren Heyin wanted to laugh when he thought of that scene, "I don't know if there is a spicy taste in the rice or flour because there are too many peppers in it."
"It's not that exaggerated."
The two dried the peppers to deal with the bugs.
These bugs may specially pick up their rice stalks and wheat seedlings to eat, and each one is very strong.
Ren Heyin brought the bucket containing pig food, and the two of them dealt with the bugs, tearing off the head together with the internal organs, tearing off the wings, throwing the torn head and wings into the bucket, and later carrying them to feed the white flowers and birds.
Such worms are fried in oil, crispy and fragrant.
Ren Heyin squeezed a hot and fragrant worm into his mouth, "It smells so good."
"Xiang will catch it tomorrow." Yun Ming put the fried worms on the table and put them away, and asked, "What else?"
"Stir-fry a small stir-fry meat, fry a bean dregs tofu, the soup is already rolling, and cook some muddy fruit." Ren Heyin looked at a large wooden basin of worms, "If you eat so many worms, you may get angry, divide them into half Let everyone eat."
Yun Ming nodded, took another clean big tub and put it down.
After the two finished their meal, they began to pound the chili powder.
They have dried several batches of dried chilies in the sun before, and the chilies may be of good quality. The dried chilis are very beautiful and transparent, looking like translucent ruby flakes.
After the chili is pounded, it smells fragrant and sweet.
Ren Heyin poured the pounded peppers into the wooden basin, put the pounded fine salt and spices, and went to the cave to bring out their moldy tofu.
The white mycelium on the moldy tofu has almost disappeared, replaced by a light yellow skin.
Ren Heyin smelled it, and found that the smell of moldy tofu was very restrained, and there was no special smell.
The two poured out a bowl of rice wine, dipped the moldy tofu cubes in the rice wine, soaked the whole body in the wine liquid, then put the moldy tofu into the reconciled chili powder, spice powder, salt powder, rolled it in a circle, and dipped it on all sides Put the powder into the jar.
Ren Heyin had already steamed the jar, so if you take it out now, there should be no bacteria in it.
The two patiently wrapped moldy tofu one by one. After wrapping everything, pour the remaining spice powder into the jar, and then pour in the cooked animal oil fried with ginger, garlic and scallion, so that the animal oil covered the top. Up to a block of tofu.
This kind of moldy tofu is also called fermented bean curd. The version made by Ren Heyin's grandmother is to add high-concentration white wine. There is really no white wine here, so Ren Heyin has to use oil instead of white wine to process the fermented bean curd.
The sealing effect of oil is also good. Many people like to use oil to seal fermented bean curd, and this version is also sold on the market.
Ren Heyin thinks that both versions are fine, each has its own characteristics, and they are both delicious anyway.
After the jar of fermented bean curd is soaked, take it back to the cave, seal it and store it away from light. It can be eaten after about ten days and half a month. However, within the shelf life, the taste of fermented bean curd is better the longer it is soaked. How to grasp this period is up to them. Then explore slowly later.
The two also put away the bean dregs and tofu.
The bean dregs and tofu couldn't be eaten for a while, so Ren Heyin simply put it on a bamboo plaque and put it in the sun to dry.
In summer, the sun is strong, and the bean dregs and tofu can be hardened in a few days.
After the dehydration process, the shelf life of these tofu will be greatly increased, and they can eat it whenever they want.
Ren Heyin likes to stir-fry dried bamboo shoots with hard bean dregs and tofu, which is very interesting to eat.
Bean dregs and tofu are also delicious when used to stir-fry garlic sprouts and peppers. They are very dry and chewy.
Bean dregs and tofu can also be used to fry bugs, but with the joint efforts of them and Mantianniao, the bugs in their fields have become less and less, and it is estimated that they will disappear completely after the rice and wheat disappear.
Ren Heyin still had some regrets, and planned to eat a few more meals while the bugs were still there, so as not to have to wait until next year if he wanted to eat again.

☆, shoot cucumber
In the expectation of Ren Heyin and the others, the first crop of wheat this year is gradually turning yellow.
I don't know when the wheat was painted with a layer of yellow. One day when they came to see it, it suddenly became more yellow.
This kind of yellow is a kind of yellow-green. Looking from a distance, the whole wheat field has changed color.
Ren He stayed hidden by the wheat field, stretched out his hand to pinch the wheat grains, the inside was filled with wheat pulp, it was quite full, and when he put it in his mouth and bit it, it brought a fresh fragrance.
With a movement of his tongue, he spit out the barley husk, "It's almost ready."
Yun Ming took a look and said, "Pull the weeds one last time."
"Row."
Ren Heyin stood in the wheat field, the wheat grew up to the height of his thighs, making his legs itchy.
There is quite a lot of grass in the field, and most of them still pull the big grass, if the grass inside is too small, it will be fine.
There is no need to throw the plucked grass leaves, some are fed to sheep, some are fed to pigs, and they are all good feed.
Ren Heyin stood in the field, sweat running down his neck, washing the plaster in streaks, turning his fair face into a painted face.
When he touched it with his hand, his face was even more smudged.
Yun Ming saw the red mark under his plaster and asked, "Itchy?"
"It's okay, it may have been stained with awns or broken grass." Ren Heyin scratched again, his cheeks flushed red.
Yun Ming touched his face with his hand, pushed his shoulder and said, "Go and wash your face, I'll take care of the rest."
"No, there are still so many grasses, you can pull them out by yourself, when will you have to pull them out?"
"As much as you can pull." Yun Ming grabbed his shoulder, "Go back and cook first."
Ren Heyin raised his head to cover his eyes, glanced at the bright sun in the sky, squinted his eyes and said, "That's fine, it's almost noon, what do you want to eat?"
"It's all right, just watch and do it."
"Then I'll go to the cucumber field next door to see if there are any cucumbers that have grown."
The cucumbers they dug up have been planted for several months. I don't know if it's because of the variety. The cucumber seedlings grow very lushly on the shelf, but they just don't bloom and bear fruit.
At the end of spring, Ren Heyin often patrolled the cucumber fields without giving up, but he looked left and right for a long time, but couldn't find even a single cucumber flower.
They all thought that this cucumber was a local variety and hadn't been domesticated enough to grow cucumbers. They didn't expect that the cucumbers would slowly bloom in summer.
The cucumber flowers on the shelf first bloomed one or two, and the tender yellow flowers swayed in the sun, attracting many bees and butterflies.
There are more and more cucumber flowers, and at the most time, the shelf is full of dots, all of which are yellow cucumber flowers, some are on the leaves, and some are hidden under the leaves.
Ren Heyin saw the shed full of cucumber flowers, and was a little worried that with so many flowers, the cucumbers would be deprived of too much nutrients and not bear fruit.
At that time, he specifically pinched off some flowers and carried out fruit thinning.
Under the cucumber flower, cucumbers slowly formed, a green one, just a little bit at the beginning, so small and half a month later, the big cucumber was already as long as Ren Heyin's arm.
Ren Heyin had seen it many times before, but he was reluctant to pick it off and eat it, and he wanted to wait until the cucumber was ripe.
Now the cucumber should be ready to eat, and the thorns on it are gone.
Ren Heyin carried the basket on his back and touched several cucumbers, and one of them grew very well. He couldn't wait to take it to the ditch and wash it, and then came back to share it with Ren Heyin.
As soon as the cucumber is broken, the fresh fragrance immediately wafts out.
The smell of cucumber was much better than the taste, Ren Heyin couldn't help but feel greedy when he smelled it.
He walked through the wheat field and handed half of it to Yun Ming who was working in the field, "Boss, come and eat a cucumber."
As he spoke, he picked up the end of the cucumber stem and took a big bite.
Cucumber actually has no special taste, neither sweet nor sour, but very refreshing.
Especially in summer, eating such a section of cucumber gives me an indescribable sense of refreshment.
Yun Ming went to the nearby ditch to wash his hands and came back. The two stood on the ridge of the wheat field, tasting each other.
"It tastes good." Yun Ming commented, finished the last bite of cucumber, and then washed his hands, "The sun is too big, you go back and cook first."
"Okay, come back quickly. I'll take a cucumber later. If I leave it for too long, it won't be refreshing."
Yun Ming nodded.
Ren Heyin happily went back with cucumbers on his back. When he returned to the small platform, he specially took a handful of dried beans and another piece of dried meat.
At noon, eat pork with scallion oil, fried tofu, mixed cucumber and wild mushroom soup with white flowers and birds.
When the white flowers and birds went out to work in the morning, they put them in the cooking pot to simmer. At this time, the soup had boiled from the full pot to more than half, and the soup was golden brown. When the pot was opened, a scent came out.
Ren Heyin put the washed mushrooms into the cooking pot, poked the charcoal underneath, added firewood, and continued to boil.
Shooting cucumbers is also easy.
Wash the cucumber, shoot it directly, put it in a large pottery pot, add salt, add minced garlic, ginger and green onion, add a tablespoon of chili oil, and then add the plum soup soaked in cold boiled water to increase the sour taste, mix well and serve eat.
After Ren Heyin took the picture, he specially clipped a section to taste it.
The sour taste of plums is very fresh, and the sour taste of cucumber is also very fresh. The two complement each other, which is surprisingly good. Coupled with just the right amount of chili oil and salt, the taste is quite good.
It has just been mixed now, and the salt is not heavy enough. It should be almost ready when Yunming comes back to eat.
Ren Heyin divided the cucumber into a large bowl, and specially served it to Qing.
He stayed behind today and did not go out to collect.
Qing saw the cucumber and was curious, "What is this?"
"Cucumber, an edible melon, can be eaten as a vegetable or as a fruit." Ren Heyin pushed it to him, "Try it and see if you like it."
Qing tasted a piece, her eyes lit up, and she gave Ren Heyin a thumbs up, "It's very delicious."
Ren Heyin smiled smugly.
Qing held the bowl and asked, "Is your wheat almost ripe?"
"It should be that the wheat should be cut before the rice."
"Do you want the tribe to help?"
Ren Heyin waved his hand, "No, just a little wheat, we can do it ourselves."
The wheat they planted was the seeds brought from the valley, and there were not many in total. It was estimated that it was only four or five tans of wheat. This amount of labor could be easily completed by him and Yunming.
When Qing heard him say no, she smiled, "Then I'll talk to Han."
"it is good."
After Ren Heyin finished speaking, he wanted to go back to cook, but Qing remembered and called him again, "By the way, how are your windows doing?"
Ren Heyin’s windows are fixed with fish-maw glue, and a groove is made on the bottom and side of the window frame. After the glass is clamped in, the top is brushed with fish-maw glue on another horizontal wooden strip and pasted on the wood under the glass and heel. Clamp the glass firmly.
They also brush the isinglass in the groove to fix the glass.
After Ren Heyin and the others were done, they put them in the cave to dry in the shade. Qing waited for several days, but he didn't see that they were going to install glass, so he couldn't help being curious.
Ren Heyin went to see their windows yesterday evening. The isinglass had already dried, and the glass was glued very firmly. The log-colored windows and light yellow transparent glass looked very harmonious.
When Qing asked, his eyes rolled up, "It's already done, we can install the window in two days."
Their window frames have been taken and installed in advance, and the corresponding iron nails have also been punched on the window sash. When installing, just put the window up directly, and it is not laborious.
Qing asked: "When is Ann, can we go and see?"
"Yes, it's all right, you can watch it whenever you want."
After Ren Heyin finished speaking, he went back to the small platform on the mountain to cook. During lunch, he told Yun Ming about it.
"Boss, why don't we carry the glass windows behind and go down and fix the windows?" Ren Heyin was really looking forward to the windows being installed in the house.
"Okay." Yun Ming replied, "Go after taking a nap."
"Why take a nap, we'll go right after dinner, how can we sleep now?" Ren Heyin took a piece of cucumber for him, "Come, come, let's finish eating and leave quickly."
"Sleep first and then sleep, the weather is too hot, I'm afraid you will have a headache."
"It's not a headache." Ren Heyin thought about it, "Then let's sleep for a while, and then get up and fix the windows."
It was too hot in summer, and the farm work was too tiring. Ren Heyin tried to stay focused, and got up after sleeping for half an hour.
The two carried the finished window sashes on their backs in baskets, and thick hay was placed between the window sashes to prevent the glass from being damaged.
Installing the windows is very simple, with five rooms and ten windows, among which the window in the living room is particularly large, and you can see the distant mountains outside when you push it open.
They don't have to worry about mosquitoes, and they don't have to weave the window sashes, just hang the windows up.
After Ren Heyin installed the windows, he couldn't help walking back and forth between several rooms. The house with black bricks and black tiles is quite cool, especially when the windows and doors are opened for ventilation.
He touched here and there, and if the tiles hadn't been fired, they could have moved in by now.
"Why don't we take the time to make the tiles these days?" Ren Heyin sat on the kang, "Fire it out as soon as possible and move as soon as possible."
"It's too hot now, and the clay dries too quickly, and it's easy to crack." Yunming said, "We'll talk about it after harvesting the rice."
"It will take many more days." Ren Heyin lay on his back on the kang, "It's really exciting."
"It's coming soon. It's less than a month. Let's prepare the furniture first."
"The furniture is almost done, pots and pans, tables and chairs, clothing... What else do you need?"
"barn."
"Yes, the granary has to be done first." Ren Heyin breathed out softly, "Speaking of the granary, I kind of want to build another house as a granary."
"No need to build, it's enough for the time being." Yun Ming said, "We can pile the bottles and cans on the barn."
"Yes, the boxes are also on the top to maximize the utilization of space. We can put less things in the living room and the room, and it looks relatively dry."
The two discussed back and forth in the room, Ren Heyin's voice became softer as he spoke, and fell asleep lying on the kang made of blue bricks unconsciously.
Yun Ming looked down at his sleeping face, with a smile in his eyes.

☆, ginseng soup
The most tiring part of farm work is the period of scrambling to plant and harvest. Ren Heyin fully felt this when harvesting wheat.
When the wheat is completely yellow, the rice is almost yellow, and the rice must be harvested after the wheat is harvested.
Ren Heyin and Yun Ming didn't ask other people in the tribe to help, so they went to the field with a scythe to cut wheat.
"Our wheat doesn't seem to be growing very well." Ren Heyin cut off a stalk of wheat and held the ears of wheat in front of his eyes, "It's far worse than rice."
The grains of this ear of wheat are a bit shriveled, and the number of grains is far less than that of an ear of rice.
"A matter of breed."
"Since we have wheat here, the introduction of wheat should not be restricted. Why don't we spend some money to introduce fine varieties?"
"Harvest this batch of wheat first, taste the taste of the wheat, and then consider introducing new varieties."
"Then hurry up and cut it. Try to cut it and dry it in the sun in the next two days, otherwise there will be no place to dry the wheat after harvesting the rice."
Their rice drying field is a naturally formed stone wall, and the place is not too big. Last year, they barely dried their rice. This year, it will be difficult to dry their wheat and so much rice in the tribe.
They have to dry and harvest the wheat first, and then try to dry the wheat as quickly as possible to give up the drying field.
Ren Heyin bent down and buried his head in cutting the wheat.
The wheat is all yellow, from the ear to the stalk, it is bright yellow, much yellower than rice.
Ren Heyin worked hard, and after a while, sweat came out and fell down his cheeks, some sweat even crossed his eyebrows and hit his eyes.
Ren Heyin lifted up her clothes and wiped off her sweat, revealing rows of smooth abdominal muscles.
Yunming next to him had already mowed to the front of the old man, and a large piece of wheat fell down amidst the rustling sound.
Sensing Ren Heyin's gaze, Yun Ming straightened up and looked at him, "Tired?"
Ren Heyin shook his head, "It's okay, I'm not too tired, just wipe off my sweat."
As he spoke, he bent down hastily and began to cut the wheat neatly.
At noon, the two of them didn't go back to have lunch, so they sat on the ridge of the field, ate two large pieces of fried meat and muddled fruits with plain water, and after filling their stomachs, they went back to the wheat field.
This is the way to do these hard work, you can't rest too much, you must grit your teeth and hold your breath to finish the work. Once you relax, it will not be so easy to get up and work again.
Their wheat fields were not too many, and the two of them worked quickly. After two o'clock in the afternoon, the two of them cut all the wheat.
The harvested wheat is carried to the side of the grain drying field, and the big stone is pulled around on it to grind the wheat down.
The weather has been fine these two days, without rain, so the wheat can spend the night in the sun-drying field without taking it back.
Yunming was very strong and successfully milled the wheat. After seven o'clock in the evening, they finally spread out all the wheat to dry.
Ren Heyin rubbed his arms, his back was sore and his back was sore, he could hardly lift his arms up, but fortunately, he had already finished his work today, so he had a night's rest, and he would be much better when he woke up tomorrow.
Yun Ming pinched his arms for him, "Tired? Shall I carry you back?"
"No, it's just a few steps, just walk." Ren Heyin thumped his waist, "This year's wheat seems to be quite fragrant. When the wheat is dry, let's make a meal of dumplings."
"What stuffing do you eat?"
Ren Heyin blurted out without thinking, "Pork mushrooms and pork bamboo shoots!"
Their pigs are well raised. After being tired for so long, after the wheat is ground, they should kill one to try something new.
"Okay, it's time to kill the pig. Is there anything else you want to eat?"
"No, just dumplings. By the way, after the rice comes down, we can make some vinegar and dip the dumplings in vinegar to eat."
"Same as brewing?"
"I have never brewed it, nor have I seen anyone brew it, but I heard it is easier than brewing wine."
Ren Heyin's eyes lit up, "It's definitely too late now, but we should be able to taste the vinegar during the Chinese New Year."
They don't celebrate Chinese New Year here, Yun Ming didn't remind them, but instead said: "Soy bean paste should come out during Chinese New Year."
"Yes, you should be able to eat soy sauce during the Chinese New Year, and soy sauce will have to wait until next year or the year after. We have already moved to a new home for the Chinese New Year. Take your time, and sooner or later we will be able to eat it."
Speaking of food, Ren Heyin forgot about his sore back and sore back, and happily talked all the way back to the tribe.
The people in the tribe knew that they were harvesting wheat today, so they specially reserved food for them.
The dinner was very rich, two big bowls of soup, a plate of fried fish, a plate of fried meat, and a plate of round and light yellow particles fried with minced chili and scallions, which looked a bit like eggs.
Ren Heyin took one, held it up to his eyes and looked carefully, "What is this?"
Bei's face was full of smiles, "Guess?"
"What kind of egg is it?" Ren Heyin held up this thing and stuffed it into his mouth. Baba's muddy fruit has become much more delicious.
Ren Heyin's eyes were a little surprised, "It's delicious, what exactly is it?"
"Ant eggs!" Bei was proud, "Wugu and the others found a large nest of ant eggs today."
The ants in the forest are all big, especially the nest that Wu Gu and the others dug out. Looking at the size of the eggs, you can tell that the nest of ants must be difficult to mess with.
Ren Heyin gave a thumbs up, "It's really amazing."
Wu Gu was next to him, "It's nothing, this nest of ants is by the river, we saw it, and directly flooded the ant nest, and it was easy to get the eggs."
Ren Heyin asked: "You were not bitten by ants, were you?"
"No, we're all very careful." Wu Gu smiled, "We still saw a litter of big ones nearby today, and we'll dig out after a few days if we want to eat."
Ren Heyin said: "You all pay attention to safety."
Wu Gu nodded and asked them in turn, "Yin, how is your wheat harvest going? Do you want to help?"
"No, everything has been harvested. The situation is better than I imagined. We have harvested a total of six loads of wheat."
These six dans of wheat contain water, and there are quite a lot of straws, but it is still a surprise to have six tans of wheat.
They can keep two loads of wheat for seeds, and grind the remaining four loads into flour to eat slowly.
Noodles, wontons, buns, dumplings, bread, cakes... as long as there is flour, they can make them all.
When they grow wheat next year, they can also buy higher-yielding varieties, and order more varieties of wheat in the future. They usually eat rice and noodles, and noodles and dumplings.
Of course, when there is enough rice, they can also make some rice noodles to eat.
In the future, various staple foods will be eaten every day, and it will be wonderful to think about it.
Bei poked his head out from the side, "Are you going to dry the wheat tomorrow? Let us old people help you dry the wheat? We don't have anything to do when we are idle."
"Okay."
The work of drying the wheat is not tiring, Ren Heyin didn't give up too much, "It's great that you can help, then we are going to cut the rice."
"So fast, isn't the rice turning yellow?"
"If it's all yellow and too ripe, it's about a few days away. Let's cut it first. After cutting, we will make room for the tribe to cut. The rice barrels and drying grounds will also be freed to avoid collisions."
Summer and autumn are relatively rainy, and the weather is fine now, so we still have to hurry up to work, otherwise, when the rain comes, especially when the rice has not been harvested, it will be easy to knock down the rice.
The rice is so small, if it falls on the ground, it is impossible to pick it up, and it is useless to put white flowers and birds, and the rice grains will be buried in the soil soon.
Ren Heyin's grandma's small county town also has people farming. When he was a child, he went to the fields with his friends to play. He often heard that so-and-so's rice was harvested late, and the rice fell to the ground.
Many people even specially drive their own ducks to the fields where a lot of rice has fallen, so that the ducks can dig into the mud to find food.
The people who drive the ducks drive the ducks to this kind of field. In the morning, the ducks can eat so much that their stomachs are heavy, and when they reach out to touch them, they can feel the creaking rice grains inside through the skin of the ducks.
Ren Heyin touched it when he was a child, and he remembers these things very clearly.
He would rather harvest the rice earlier, even if it is not the best time, and he is unwilling to wait too long, waiting for the rice to fall on the ground to save the birds.
On such a hot day, how long does it take for rice to germinate in the ground?
The water and heat conditions here are not enough to support the growth of rice. It is a pity that when the next crop is harvested, these half-grown rice seedlings will be frozen to death in winter.
Ren Heyin and Yun Ming finished their meal, went up to find Qing and the others, and told them about harvesting wheat and rice.
Han heard the words and said, "Tomorrow, the tribe will help to cut it together?"
"No, everyone in the tribe is also busy. If some people are sent to help us cut the rice, we won't be able to arrange the people who hunt and gather and take care of the fields."
"It's okay, you don't have much rice, you can cut it in half a day."
"Alright, you guys come tomorrow. After cutting our rice, you are just about to cut the rice in the tribe. The rice in the tribe is also growing similarly, so we can't wait any longer."
After the discussions were over, Ren Heyin and Yun Ming went back to the cave to pack their clothes.
After working all day, their bodies are covered with stinky sweat, and they have to take a shower before going to bed.
It's been a little cooler at night.
If calculated according to the climate on the earth, it is already the end of August and the beginning of September, and it will soon be autumn again.
After Ren Heyin and the others finished harvesting the rice, they mixed the mud and prepared to make tiles.
The seaweed is almost used up, so we have to fish it again. After it is fished, it will be dried and ground with mud, and then it will be used for laying bricks.
During the period, they had to find time to get some salt back, and dig bamboo shoots, mushrooms, and wild vegetables by the way. After autumn, these things will be less, and they have to prepare and dry them in advance, so that there will be enough dry goods to eat in winter.
The cucumbers in the field are growing more and more, and they can't finish them now. In addition to giving some to the tribe, Ren Heyin also wants to pickle some cucumbers as side dishes.
Pickled cucumber tastes very good. Like dried radish, it is one of the side dishes that are most suitable for porridge.
They are now making pickled cucumbers, and they will have side dishes for porridge, noodles, and even dumplings and wontons in autumn and winter.
After pickling the cucumbers, the cotton should have grown, and they had to think about picking the cotton.
It takes a lot of energy to pick cotton, whether it is spinning and weaving, or making cotton quilts, cotton clothes and cotton shoes.
Ren Heyin was soaking in the hot spring, quickly going through the things he had to do recently, while falling asleep.
Yun Ming soaked next to him, and heard his little snoring after a while.
Yun Ming sighed silently, picked him up after he fell asleep, changed back to the animal shape, picked him up on his back, and quickly ran back to the tribe with him on his back.
The tribe at night is very quiet.
The tribe has always kept the tradition of sentry sentry. No matter day or night, there is at least one orc at the two checkpoints.
The sentry work is done by the orcs in turn. In the entire tribe, only Yunming belongs to Ren Heyin's group. They have a semi-cooperative relationship with the tribe and do not need to participate in the daily affairs of the tribe.
When they went back, they happened to be on guard.
Tu looked at Ren Heyin who was sleeping soundly on Yunming's back, his fair face blushing from sleep, his eyes flashed, and the hope in his heart completely dissipated.
No one could be a better partner than these two, not even him.
Ren Heyin got up very early the next day. He and Yunming worked together in a division of labor. One went out to feed and milk the livestock, the other cooked on the small platform, and sharpened the sickle by the way.
The rest of the tribe also got up. Those who had sickles took out their sickles and sharpened them, and those without sickles also sharpened their stone knives to prepare for the next rice harvesting.
After breakfast, everyone came to Ren Heyin's field and started working with their heads down.
"Hidden, the rice barrels are still in the sun-drying field?"
"Yes, we have to choose the threshing side." Ren Heyin straightened his waist, "Everyone has worked hard today."
"It's not hard, it can be done in one morning."
"What's so hard about it?"
"That's right, this kind of work. Yin, you should go to the threshing side to direct? We have enough people here."
Ren Heyin raised his head, and the people in the tribe asked him to hand over the rice fields to them, and went to the grain drying field to take command.
Yun Ming also stood up, "Go."
"Then I'll go, I'll leave this place to you."
Quan said: "Leave it to us, don't worry."
Ren Heyin handed the sickle to an orc who was cutting rice with a stone knife, washed his hands in the ditch next to it, and went to the grain drying field.
There are already many people on the grain drying ground, and the old people are raking the wheat over and over again with a rake, trying to pull out the sundries inside.
Seeing Ren Heyin coming, the old people greeted, "Yin, come and see if it's okay for us to hang out like this?"
"What's inappropriate? It's just the same as drying rice."
Ren Heyin poured the straw they raked out into the basket next to it. These straws can be used as extra meals for the sheep, and the sheep quite like it.
After pouring out the straw, he greeted Bei and the others, "Uncle Bei, please help me move the rice barrel down."
"Where is this rice bucket going?"
"It's just down there on the yellow muddy ground. It's full of wheat in the sun. I won't be able to come out for a while. I'll throw rice here later. It's not good to mix rice with the wheat. Just go down and throw it down."
"So much rice, where do you put it after it's broken?"
"First dry it on the muddy ground below, and transfer it to the grain drying field for two days."
"Can this wheat be dried in two days?"
"If you can't do it, there's nothing you can do. Put it away first. I think it won't be damaged if you put it in our new house to dry. When there is room for it, let's dry it again."
Their new houses are all paved with green bricks, even if the green bricks are not too smooth, they can be used to dry wheat and rice without any problem.
At that time, they put the half-dried wheat and rice in the house to spread out to dry, open the doors and windows, and let them dry for a few more days, and they should be able to dry.
It’s dried over there, and the rice in the tribe should be able to finish drying in the rice drying field here.
