After entering the bird tribe, I want to farm

Bai Wuwo checked the calendar on the chair. This is their family's special calendar, and Nan Yao wrote it specially for him.

The room was dim, and even with oil lamps on, the brightness was extremely limited.

Bai Wu pointed at it with his fingers, counting the time silently in his heart: "There are still twelve days until the Bird Festival, will it rain every day during this time?"

Nan Yao felt the water vapor in the air: "From today, there will be rain in the next three days."

Bai Wu sat down on the chair, propped her chin and sighed.

When it rains, they spend less time hunting and gathering.

There is nothing to do at home, at least you can't cook food, otherwise it will be broken.

Seeing his sleepy look, Nan Yao asked, "Would you like to go fishing?"

"I don't really want to go, we have enough fish in the net." Bai Wu muttered, "Besides, I can't catch you every time I fish."

"Then take Nanyu Baishui out for an outing?"

"Going out to collect is considered an outing. I don't want to go too far. If I get caught in the rain, I can't hide."

"Otherwise continue to write our text?"

"There's no way to do this every day."

Bai Wu changed her posture and continued to sit on the chair in a daze.

The spring rain is still a bit cold, and when it rains heavily, it can drench people thoroughly and make people shiver uncontrollably.

Every season in the tribe will reduce the time to go out, and everyone is more inclined to eat, drink and have fun in the tribe, and connect with each other by the way.

Bai Wu thought for a long time, but couldn't figure out what to do, so she just curled up under the blanket to catch up on sleep.

It's comfortable to sleep while listening to the spring rain outside.

That day, Bai Wu slept until she was hungry before getting up. After getting up, she found that Nan Yao was not at home, she should be at the foot of the mountain.

He washed up briefly, put on his robe, put on his basket and prepared to go down the mountain.

The top and bottom of the mountain are very close together, and the white wormwood flies down under the drizzle, and it will arrive in a while.

As soon as he landed, he saw Nan Yao was chopping firewood under the eaves, and there were branches and leaves of other plants beside him.

Sitting across from Nanyao, Chuan was also splitting wood.

"What are you doing?" Bai Wu gathered her clothes, carried the basket on her back, covered her head with her hands and rushed under the eaves, and whispered to Nan Yao, "I was looking for you for a while just now."

Taking advantage of Chuan's inattention, Nanyao shook his hand, and said in a low voice, "I'm going to make bacon. Go get a cloth to dry your hair first."

Bai Wu probed: "Why are you making bacon at this time? Has the bacon in the store run out?"

Chuan Dao: "It's because the meat that was exchanged earlier is about to go bad."

"So fast?"

Since they increased the proportion of gourmet food in the store, they can exchange a lot of meat every day.

They couldn't finish the meat, so they simply made various meat products, such as jerky meat sauce and air-dried meat.

Making meat products is more troublesome. They don’t do it every day. Most of the time they choose to marinate the meat with salt and do it every once in a while.

This time it was the marinated meat that was spoiled.

Bai Wu looked at the drizzle falling in the sky, and thought it was understandable, the weather is so warm now, and it is raining again, it can be regarded as warm and humid, and it is normal for the meat to rot.

He put down the back basket: "Is there not much meat to be smoked?"

"A lot, there are five baskets. The trouble is that the sausages at home have also started to grow moldy spots. They need to be smoked again, and soaked in oil after smoked."

"Is there enough space in the utility room?"

"It's not enough. Some of them have to be placed in the room you used to live in. Stop chatting and come over here to help."

"I'm going to wash my hands and come back."

The father and son worked together, lighting a fire under the corridor, and piled a large number of freshly cut branches on the fire.

The flames licked the branches, sending out a lot of smoke.

Put the white wu under the sausage to feel the temperature, the temperature is not bad, it must be smoked for two days.

Bai Wu sighed, not having a refrigerator is troublesome, if there is a refrigerator, put it in the freezer, and it won't go bad after half a year.

Wait, refrigerator?

Bai Wu suddenly remembered, and said to Nanyao and Chuan: "Have you ever heard of a cellar? It is to dig a hole in the ground to store items. If it is done well, the cellar will be cold and dry, and the stored things will not be easily damaged. "

Chuan asked, "Isn't that the same as a cave?"

Bai Wu: "The effect is better than that of the cave. The cave is relatively wet. If the moisture-proof measures are taken well, the cellar can always be kept dry."

Bai Wu thought for a while: "Doesn't our family have unused charcoal from last year? If the cellar is finished, we can pile some charcoal underneath. The charcoal will absorb water very well."

Nan Yao said: "If you want to dig, you can try it in a few days when the weather clears."

"I just told you that there is such a thing, wait, it seems that we can really dig a cellar to try, isn't the utility room already full? We can dig a cellar as a warehouse."

Chuan smiled: "If you really want to dig, we will help you dig together. When the time comes, the mud you dug out will be thrown directly down the mountain, and it won't take much time."

"Let me think about it."

Chuan and the others live alone on this mountain, and Baiwu and Nanyao have no one else on the mountainside. It is quite convenient for them to dig a cellar, as long as they avoid the foundation and dig directly down.

Bai Wu seriously considered this idea, took a small notebook, and drew the structure of the cellar.

If they really want to build a cellar, they can dig a little bigger. The opening of the cellar is opened in the room, with the cellar underneath and the house above, just to build an extra utility room.

There is no technical difficulty in building a cellar. They have enough construction experience, and there are cement and lime available, so they can be built quickly.

The only problem now is that the ground may be relatively humid, and then charcoal will be laid to absorb moisture.

After they build the cellar, they can spread a layer of charcoal, and the walls can also be filled with a layer of charcoal.

Burning charcoal is not too troublesome now, and it is completely feasible to change it once a year.

It's a pity that there are no other waterproof materials here, and he has no information about waterproof materials.

Bai Wu thought about it for several days, and drew several large sketches, and Nan Yao drew several versions of sketches together with him.

The two decided to build a cellar on the mountainside.

The place halfway up the mountain is relatively large, and they can just add two houses to serve as warehouses.

"Every time I have to work, I think of all kinds of materials from my previous life." Bai Wu lay down on the kang, "It's too inconvenient here."

"for example?"

"If there is a plastic sheet, our waterproof problem will be much simpler. Just put a layer of plastic sheet on the four walls of the cellar, and it will be improved a lot."

Bai Wu still remembers that when he was a child, when building a house at home, he would put a layer of plastic sheeting on the floor first.

At that time, the plastic sheeting was cheap and easy to use. After it was pasted, even if it was a muddy floor, it would not be too wet.

Bai Wu turned over and sat up, "Speaking of which, is there any plant that can have the effect of plastic sheeting? In my previous life, I've seen many people paste that kind of dried leaves on buildings, which seems to be waterproof."

Nan Yao thought for a while: "Can you explain more clearly?"

"For example, the bamboo hats we made have dried bamboo leaves in the middle, and the waterproof effect is very good. It will not get wet when you take it out on rainy days. Is there any larger leaves similar to dried bamboo leaves that can be used for waterproofing? ?”

"Dried bamboo leaves can't do it?"

"It's too small to be useful, water vapor will slip in through the gaps, and the bamboo leaves are not strong, maybe it will break at any time."

"It seems that there is a plant that meets your requirements."

"Speak quickly!"

"Do you remember that there is a particularly large broad-leaved tree on the upper half of the mountain?"

"The tree with the sticky sap?"

"Yes, that's it. There is a particularly thick and tough membrane on the inside of the bark of this tree. It may meet your requirements after tearing it off and drying it in the sun."

Bai Wu recalled that the sap of that tree was very sticky, and it was difficult to wash it off when it got on the skin. When he followed the tribe up the mountain, he was asked to stay away from that tree.

Over the years, he has avoided seeing that kind of tree, and he has never really learned about the situation of that kind of tree.

"Then shall we go and see tomorrow?"

"It will rain tomorrow."

"Xiao Yu, we can take the bamboo hats and bring back some ground berries. The ground berries are almost out of season."

"Take two extra baskets out. It's been raining for the past few days, so there should be a lot of mushrooms growing."

"Okay, is there still a lot of flowers in this season? Let's pick some flowers and fry them to eat, and fry some mushrooms by the way. It seems that the tea should be picked too. I go to peel the bark in the morning and go down to pick tea. Is there time?"

"If I'm afraid it's too late, I'll tell the Long-tailed people tomorrow and ask them to help pick the tea leaves."

This month it was the turn of the Changwei tribe to support the priests. The people of the Changwei tribe would come here with food on their backs every day, and Nanyao would also return the supplies. It should be no problem to ask them to do some work.

Bai Wu thought for a while, and agreed: "We can share some tea with the people of the Long-tail tribe."
