Beginning Backpack [Farming]

The collection in the tribe was in full swing, but Shen Huaijin did not participate.He and Li now have a lot of food. There are twenty baskets of sweet potato vermicelli alone. What he needs to consider now is the preservation of the crops.

When he went to the market this time, he saw the cellar that was used to store rice, so he wanted to imitate it.The temperature in the cellar is constant throughout the year, so you don’t have to worry about taro and radish freezing in the cold season, and you can also store fresh meat in hot weather.

Shen Huaijin shared this idea with Li Yi, and the latter naturally readily agreed, because the season was about to enter the recession, which meant that the hunting team would soon be busy, and the two needed to put the digging of the cellar on the agenda as soon as possible.

Shen Huaijin was a southerner before crossing, and had never built a cellar, but she had a little understanding after traveling all over the years, and she had a good relationship with Yuan, and she had seen the cellar of the other party, so she felt confident.

The location of the cellar is set in the leeward and sunny place behind the storage house.Since there are still streams running through the valley, Shen Huaijin was worried about the high groundwater level. For safety reasons, he did not plan to dig too deep, but chose the "T"-shaped digging method.

After selecting the area, he directed Li to dig a corridor in the north-south direction first, and then dug a "T"-shaped storage room on both sides at the north end of the corridor.The cellar is about 2.5 meters deep; the aisle is narrow, 1 meter wide and 2 meters long; the storage room is larger, 1.5 meters wide and 5 meters long.

The area of ​​the entire cellar is not small. For safety reasons, bamboo is used as the skeleton inside, and it is neatly paved with cement.

The mouth of the cellar is about one meter square, covered with wooden planks and then covered with hay, which can well isolate the inside and outside.

After the cellar was dug, the bad season of Linshanyuan came immediately.

The autumn wind was rustling, the branches and leaves were turning yellow, the gathering activities in the tribe came to an end, and Shen Huaijin also rushed the last batch of fresh licorice, boiled out two cans of sugar, plus the ones he had saved before, now there are five cans, no matter what How, it is more than enough to survive this cold season.

What surprised him the most was that the old orc Shi came to him on his own initiative and said that the loom had made it.

The matter of the loom was entrusted for a long time, and so many things happened in the middle, Shen Huaijin had forgotten it at first, but now it was more like a surprise.

He tugged and ran happily to Shi's house, and brought the loom back.After the work shed has been expanded, the area is much larger, just enough to accommodate a loom that is also not small in size.

After moving back to the loom, Shen Huaijin quickly took out the bamboo reed and good-quality hemp thread that had been stored for a long time from the house.

Once the bamboo reed is pressed, an old-fashioned loom is completely completed.

The foot-operated loom is entirely made of logs and bamboo. It looks simple at first glance, but the details are exquisite.

The working principle of the loom is very simple. The warp thread passes through the bamboo reed, and the weft thread is guided by the shuttle. The warp and weft are interlaced to weave fine and dense cloth.

Together, Shen Huaijin and Li put twine on each hole in the bamboo reed, and then stepped on the bobbin controller to separate the warp threads up and down to form a shed for weft insertion.

The shuttle is used as a weft insertion tool to travel between the warp threads, and then step on the bobbin controller to allow the warp threads to exchange up and down. At this time, the shuttle is passed back to push the weft threads introduced into the shed to the weaving fell, and the fabric can be formed.

After dozens of such operations in a row, you can see a narrow light-colored fabric formed at the weaving fell.

Even the well-informed Shen Huaijin couldn't help cheering.

Originally, I just wanted to try my luck, but I didn't expect it to happen!

Seeing his happy appearance, Li couldn't help curling his lips. He stroked the small piece of linen that he had just woven, and was a little surprised, "It's so fine."

Shen Huaijin and You Rong nodded.

"Yes, but it's a pity that these hemp threads have not been brushed, so they are inevitably a bit rough to the touch, but the conditions are difficult, so it is not good to ask too much."

While speaking, Shen Huaijin weaved non-stop, and the rattling sound of pushing the weft thread was very rhythmic. The hemp thread was slender, but the process of accumulating a small amount made him feel very relieved.

"When the rice is harvested in the next bad season, I will take some to wash the pulp and make you two suitable clothes."

Li's tone was too "lavish", and Shen Huaijin couldn't help laughing when she heard it.

"It's too late to eat such a small amount of rice, how can I make it into rice milk for such a use." He smiled with eyebrows curved, "Just as I said before, try using starch pulp instead, it works best, if it doesn't work, forget it. "

Li squatted aside, helped him tidy up the hemp thread beside him, and didn't say any more after hearing the words, "Then do as you said."

The two wove for a while, and people came from the other side of the stream. It was An who brought a few sub-beasts to deliver the food allocated to Shen Huaijin and Li.

After a bumper harvest, everyone couldn't be patient and happy. Carrying rattan baskets, they crossed the bridge beamingly. Seeing that Shen Huaijin was tinkering with an unfamiliar gadget, they all came forward to ask curiously.

Shen Huaijin saw that Yang's little follower, Wen, was also among them, so she stopped what she was doing, and said with a smile, "Wen, don't you recognize me? This is the ramie we cut together earlier."

"Ah!" Wen exclaimed, with an unbelievable look on his face, "But they don't look alike at all."

"Of course, after all, it has gone through many steps. You see, this is cloth, and we can use it to make clothes after weaving it into larger pieces."

Under Shen Huaijin's signal, Wen carefully touched it, and then said excitedly: "It's so comfortable to touch! Jin, when can we exchange clothes with you?"

"Then we have to wait, weaving is not so fast."

An and the other sub-beasts standing aside looked curious. "Jin, we don't understand what you are talking about."

Shen Huaijin told everyone about the usefulness of the linen cloth, the ramie field discovered that day, and the fact that the sub-beasts paid the deposit with ramie at that time. Now it seemed that a pot exploded among the other sub-beasts. To change cloth and clothes.

Shen Huaijin touched the tip of her nose helplessly, motioning for everyone to calm down.

"Everyone wants to change clothes, I can understand, but weaving takes time, and now that the cold season is approaching, there is really no chance. I plan to ask Shi to make two more looms. After the cold season, everyone How about weaving cloth and making clothes?"

An reproachfully patted those young and noisy Asian beasts, and then said to Shen Huaijin: "You are right, it is true that one person can't catch up, and we should wait until the water season to do it together."

Shen Huaijin nodded, and then everyone remembered that they were delivering food, and hurriedly brought rattan baskets for Shen Huaijin to count.

When he first returned to the tribe, An sent him five baskets of radishes and five baskets of dried mushrooms. These days, Shen Huaijin used about half of each basket.Now, the tribe sent him three fresh baskets of radishes, five baskets of sweet potatoes and six baskets of taro.

After putting down the food, in order to prevent the sub-beasts from making trouble with Shen Huaijin again, An greeted them and hurriedly drove them back to the other side of the stream.

Li dug his ears and breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's not possible." Shen Huaijin looked at him with a smile, and then greeted him in a tone full of joy of harvest: "Come on, let's put these things in the cellar."

The two moved their things to the entrance of the cellar. After opening the wooden boards, they waited for a while until the air inside and outside was circulated. Then they walked down the dug steps and went down to the cellar.

Shining a flashlight, Shen Huaijin walked through the aisle to the storage room, where other food had already piled up.A dozen baskets of new food were also put together, with hay on top for a little bedding.

Today, there are eleven baskets of potatoes, seven baskets of radishes, five baskets of taro and four baskets of sweet potatoes in the cellar, and some gingers that are not resistant to cold are piled up in the corner.

The rest of the fresh food had to be put in the storage room behind Shen Huaijin's house for picking up in the near future.As for those that are resistant to cold and can be stored for a long time, they are naturally included for convenience.

After they piled up the grain in the cellar, they moved the rest to the storage house.The room was divided into upper and lower floors by Shen Huaijin with wooden frames, which is very convenient for storage.

Now, there are already a basket of potatoes, sweet potatoes, taro, potato starch, and sweet potato starch, half a basket of fresh radishes, twenty baskets of sweet potato vermicelli, as well as various milk powder, wild bird eggs, and bits and pieces of pickles, The seasoning can be regarded as full.

Shen Huaijin herself didn't know that she had hoarded so much food invisibly, so she was hesitant for a while.

"This is something to eat."

"It won't be broken, what are you afraid of?" Li Wushen said.

"That's true." Shen Huaijin nodded, "It feels safe to stock up more. There are many hairy beasts and wild birds that can't be eaten. We have four more hairy beasts this cold season. I don't know if they are enough. Not enough to eat."

"Hairy beasts can eat anything. There are still so many potato seedlings left, so it's no problem to supply half of the amount. However, the hairy beast is afraid of the cold is a problem."

Li's words reminded Shen Huaijin that in the last bad season, he delayed the plan of captive breeding until this water season because he was afraid that the hairy beasts would not be able to survive the cold season safely. Now the same problem has appeared.

Hairy beasts need to keep warm.

In order to ensure that the multi-haired beasts can get enough sunlight, the walls of the animal pens were piled up neither high nor low at the very beginning, which is usually the right height, but in the cold season, there must be cold winds whistling past, which is a threat to the animals. It is a fatal blow to the cold hairy beast.

After discussing for a while, the two came up with an idea.

On weekdays, a large amount of thatch is used, and it is inconvenient to dry it now. Usually, a batch of thatch will be dried in advance and stored on the side of the house, which is just in handy now.

They bundled handfuls of thatch together, and hung thatch curtains around the animal pen as a wind barrier, so that the cold wind could be kept out and the hairy animals would not be stuffy.

As for the circle, add thick bedding to keep it dry.

From now on, we should also increase the energy feed supply to the hairy beasts, and feed them more protein, so that they can strengthen their physique and survive the cold season.

After finishing all this work, Shen Huaijin saw the four hairy beasts screaming nervously because the environment was dark, and quickly took some potato seedlings to feed them, until they were all quiet, Shen Huaijin pulled Li away.

"Don't worry, although the hairy beast needs to find a warm place to spend the cold season, but Linshanyuan was very cold at that time. With these things, the hairy beast is not as easy to die as you think."

"En." Shen Huaijin nodded reassuringly.
