Chapter 79 Yellow Round Grits

If it was possible, Jin Mang didn't want to make a down vest. First, she didn't have any relevant experience in her previous life, so she wasn't sure she could do it well. Second,...

Anze's wild ducks can fly, or in other words, as long as they have wings here, they can fly, and they fly very fast.

Jin Mang is practicing darts recently, and the arrowheads are still made by herself with iron ore.

In fact, she had learned sports like shooting in her previous life, but she didn't learn it well, it was just a pastime, and she prefers close combat with punches to the flesh.

Fortunately, as long as it is related to sports, she is not lacking in talent, so after practicing with her mind, her progress is rapid.

In the beginning, Jinmang just used darts to shoot tree trunks, and gradually changed to shoot a certain leaf, and then a big fish swimming in the lake.

By the time she was able to shoot the wild duck, Lan Chuan was already able to walk while leaning on the wall.

Qingfeng and Qingsui made a lot of animal skins and piled them in the cave, but Jinmang's feathers were only a small handful, it couldn't be more pitiful.

Bai Yun smiled and said, "Don't worry about making down jackets. There are few wild ducks and geese here. If you really want to get that thing, you have to go to Daze."

Jin Mang was a little angry, but he began to think about other ways to keep warm.

Don't think about cotton, this will not be the season of cotton, as for other ways to keep warm...silk?
It's a pity that apart from knowing the mulberry tree, she may not even know the silkworm baby.

When the daughter of a college roommate was in school, the teacher gave homework about raising silkworms. Unfortunately... that roommate didn't like to post on Moments.

So this time, Jin Mang was completely blinded.

In the end, she smashed the jar, thinking that the animal skin is also very warm, so let's make do with it for now.

Because of Lan Chuan's presence, Qing Feng and Qing Sui made much more preparations than before when the split season was approaching.And since they don't have to worry about salt these days, they can do more.

When the heavy snow fell from the sky bit by bit, all creatures realized one thing: the split season has officially arrived.

Jin Mang found that compared to the last split season, she was obviously not so cold this time. It wasn't that the temperature in this split season was high, but... her tolerance to cold had become higher.

Originally, she thought it was because she ate the meat of the beast, but Bai Yun told her it was not.

"Three years have passed since the last split season, and you are also three years older. You are still in the growth stage. Not only can the beast meat improve your physique, but so does time."

Qingfeng has been waiting for news since she came back—waiting for the signal that all adults in the Ying tribe have learned to swim.

Jin Mang originally thought that he would not be able to wait, but one night, whistles came from all directions one after another.

"This is?" Jin Mang was taken aback.

Qing Feng said excitedly: "It's done!"

Qingsui said to Jin Mang: "This is one of the ways to convey common news within the tribe. This method is rarely used. Most of the time, we are used to using different smokes to communicate. However, whistle is the safest and most An error-prone communication method.”

Jin Mang nodded.

When the temperature dropped to the lowest point in the rainy season, the rainy season came quietly. Looking at the heavy rain outside, Jin Mang looked worriedly at Lan Chuan, who had a fever and his face was flushed.

"Will Xiao Chuan be okay?" Her tone was full of uncertainty.

"It'll be fine." Qingsui was cooking herbs.

This is the method that Jin Mang taught her. It turned out that she planned to let her son swallow the herbal medicine directly, but it was probably because the herbal medicine was too bitter, and Lan Chuan was so burnt that it was rare for him to refuse to eat it willfully.Jin Mang proposed to boil the herbal medicine, so that at least it can be hard-fed.

Jin Mang hesitated to wipe Lan Chuan's body with warm water, but later he gave up.The temperature is too low, and it's not like modern times with all kinds of heating facilities, so it might make him catch a cold.

Baiyun came here in the rain, holding a bundle of strange yellow plants, the leaves of which were round and irregular in size.

Seeing this, Qingfeng Qingsui was pleasantly surprised, "You actually found Huang Yuan grits?"

Baiyun wiped the rain off his face, and said, "I searched for a long time before I found it. I thought it was gone, and I was about to give up. It was a cheetah whose whereabouts were weird. I followed it and found it. This bundle of yellow round grits."

Jin Mang blinked, "Yellow round grits...what's the use?"

"That's very useful." Qingsui said with a relaxed face: "Huangyuan grits have a miraculous effect on reducing fever. With it, Xiao Chuan's fever can be subsided very quickly."

Jin Mang immediately breathed a sigh of relief. For such a young child, the most fearful thing is that the high fever will burn out his brain.But there was no thermometer at this meeting, she only felt that it was very hot when she touched Xiao Chuan's forehead, but she was not sure how hot it was.

The more uncertain she was, the more frightened she felt.

Qing Feng opened the mouth and said: "Try to save the use of Huang Yuan Grits, as they may be used on the way of migration."

Qingsui reminded: "The leftover yellow round grits are bound with animal skins."

Be it Baiyun or Qingfeng, they all immediately understood the hidden meaning in her words.It was Jin Mang who understood after a beat.

On the way of migration, they acted as a family, but the number of Huangyuan grits was limited.So out of a mother's selfishness, Qingsui didn't want to expose Huang Yuan Grits.

In the past few months, although Jinmang has not found cotton, she has found mint.

This thing won't be very useful in the dry season, so she collected a lot early in the morning and dried it, planning to save it for drinking in the dry season and prevent heat stroke at the same time.

In order to cope with the rain and flood, Qingfeng and Qingsui climbed up the cliff very early, and built a hut with iron base wood for temporary residence and food storage.

——Actually, they don’t have much food left here. Don’t look at Jin Mang’s busy schedule before, but afterward, she thought of one thing: Although sausage and bacon are durable, sometimes it’s okay to store it for a year or two , but only if it is placed in the freezer compartment of the refrigerator.The climate in Anze is fine during the rainy season, but during the dry season... so Jinmang had to dispose of most of the wax products early.

Jinmang really doesn't like the salty cured meat that they ate in the split season last time - especially in the dry season when there is often a shortage of water, it is impossible for them to soak the cured meat in water.But if you don't do this, sausage and bacon with normal saltiness can't hold it at all.

Fortunately, she was not helpless, long before the split season, she had a lot of sweet potatoes, potatoes and yams, and she also found a lot of chestnuts, as well as pine nuts, hazelnuts and pumpkins.In addition, there are dried red dates and dried persimmons.

——The persimmons are made by Jin Mang, and there is a persimmon grove in their territory.
