through the ancient times

At three poles in the sun, Yang Jun bit the animal skin and got up, holding on to the wall and moving step by step.In the kitchen, there are chicken soup and wild vegetables prepared by Adile in the pottery pot. I barely ate some of them. I saw the six female pheasants and one male pheasant in the cave. They were chasing wild eggs with pennies. Did you see wild eggs on the haystack? With a shake of his hands, he kicked out a nest of pheasants, and shouted angrily: "If you don't lay eggs, I will eat you!" The seven pheasants blew up the back of their necks one after another, and the chickens stared at Yang Jun outside the bamboo raft. .

Putting down the penny, Yang Jun rolled his eyes: "It's useless to stare at me anymore, I won't call you chickens!" He raised his head and chest, but his waist was weak, and he leaned on the wall and moved out step by step.Enduring the discomfort, I went back to the house and spread out the wild ginger I dug yesterday. I picked some old ones to dry and planned to make some perilla ginger. In fact, I put them in the cave for future use.The rice ears Adi have been placed in the sun to dry before going out. The plump seeds are golden yellow, larger than domestic rice grains and richer in nutrition than rice, but the quantity is flawed!

Yang Jun sighed, comforting himself with something better than nothing.Turn the ears of rice to the side to dry, move a low stool to sit next to the mountain of millet balls, use a bamboo rake to pull the balls, and then use a wooden stick to knock on them for a while, knock twice to pick up the cracked thorn balls, pick up the millet, and directly pick up the empty shells. While drying it as firewood, continue to knock when there is no time.

This kind of knocking is more troublesome, and sometimes the strength is useless and it will hurt the plantain, but it is more efficient and will not stab the hand. Yang Jun harvested a whole basket of about [-] catties of planu after knocking for a long time, which is easier than smashing one by one. too much.

Adi came back when the sun was close to the top of the mountain. He tied two adult wild deer, three hares and four pheasants with branches and dragged him away. The animal skin bag was also bulging, and it contained the wild fruit he picked and a fruit that was rarely seen in the tribe before.

Ten catties of rice ears was enough to make Yang Jun happy. When he saw what Adi took out from the animal skin bag, he almost jumped up. Damn it, since he was still alive, he saw the corn! !

Although the corn cobs are short and small, the corn is not full and looks malnourished, but his [-] eyesight can't be mistaken, it is real corn!

"Where did Adi find this?" Yang Jun held the corn cob with an excited expression on his face.

"In the weeds, the tribes in the past also ate this. Little, not enough." The wild corn in the mountains is malnourished and has a low yield. It has to be baptized by insects and ubiquitous birds. It is strange that it can be eaten.

After passing through the wild rice, Yang Jun also saw it, there is nothing perfect in this world. "It doesn't matter, let's save some food and save more seeds, and we will plant them ourselves after the spring of next year."

"Kind?" Adi didn't understand.

"Planting means that we scatter the seeds into the soil. After fertilizing and waiting for the seeds to grow, we can receive a lot of food after harvesting. I can't tell for a while. Let's talk about it next year." Yang Jun has already explained to Adi the solar terms after freezing It is designated as spring, and after spring is hot summer, after summer is the autumn they are living now, and then winter.The cycle is one year, and it goes on and on again and again.

There was no time, so the two had no choice but to drag the prey to the stream and seize the time to peel off the skin and remove the internal organs, and then moved back to the yard to light a fire. Excitedly running around at people's feet, begging for the scraps of meat that Adi took off.

Speaking of having dinner for the two of them, Yang Jun, who was dizzy, patted his forehead and turned to get dinner.The processed rabbit and pheasant are inserted with peeled branches, put on a flower knife, smeared with salt and seasoning, and roasted on the fire.These days I eat stewed, boiled, fried, hot, and occasionally roasted is also good.

Yang Jun was rubbing salt while turning the sides of the barbecue. When the smell of barbecue and seasoning filled the yard, Yang Jun brought water to wash his hands, and the two ate delicious barbecue by the firelight in the yard.After eating, the two of them sprinkled all the meat strips with salt and dried them. Adi rubbed the animal skins and soaked them in plant water to remove the smell. Yang Jun cleaned the yard before washing them one by one and going back to the house to sleep.

As soon as he lay back on the animal skin bed, Yang Junjue's entire waist was stiff, and he held Adi's hand and rubbed it for a long time before he fell asleep in a daze.At dawn, I woke up with Adi in a daze, brushed my teeth and washed my face, and started to make breakfast. After Adi lit the fire, he went to the yard to see that the meat strips that were dried yesterday were still there, and turned around to fill up the stone jars in the yard with large clay pots. Water, and then bring some water to the cave to change the water for the seven pheasants and add some food by the way.

The pheasant eats a kind of wild fruit that can be seen everywhere on the mountain. After the hard shell is pecked open, the brown fruit tastes astringent. People can't eat it, but pheasants can eat it.A small half of the basket of wild fruits was thrown away, the pheasant clucked from the haystack to have a meal, and the two white wild eggs were left alone in the grass.

Adi was overjoyed, carefully picked up two eggs and ran back to the house to show Yang Jun. "A Yang, look." Wild eggs are not as big as domestic eggs, and the weight of the small two circles is like a treasure for Adi.

Yang Jun is also happy. The pheasants start laying eggs, which means that they have begun to adapt to this kind of captive life. Once they are used to captivity, the wings of pheasants will degenerate and their habits will also degenerate. In the future, there will be endless eggs every day. Modern domestic chickens are not far away. "From now on, I will pick it up every morning, but every time I have to leave one."

Adi didn't understand. "Why?"

Yang Jun shrugged: "I don't know why, anyway, our older generation has this saying." Asking Adi to take out the prepared breakfast, Yang Jun boiled the eggs in the earthenware pot with the fire of the stove, intending to boil them Take it with you for lunch.

Putting on a bamboo basket animal skin bag, Adi locked the wooden door from the outside, hugged Yang Junhu who was stretching out his hand to his chest, and ran towards the direction where the corn was found yesterday. The energetic Doudou ran in front of the two, After running far away, I found that I had gone the wrong way and ran back, and then passed the two of them and ran to the front, and then ran back again after running the wrong way. I am not tired of tossing myself.
