Savage Fortune Little Landlord

Chapter 26 Full harvest

Xia Weiwei didn't know that this action of hers had poked Qingmei's self-blaming cautiousness again. She clutched the animal skin and wanted to think about it, but she didn't want to. Qingmei, who came in to exchange raw lotus root for cooked lotus root, found that she fell asleep so quickly, and felt even more guilty.

Therefore, Qingmei, who hadn't closed her eyes all night, couldn't sleep anymore, she hugged the child, her eyes were dry and painful, and she didn't close them for a moment.

Unknowingly, another night passed, and the sound of men talking cautiously outside the tent came.

"Huh~" Panting heavily, she simply got up and followed the men's footsteps.

The men usually get up very early, but today, they got up earlier because they hadn't slept all night. The day was still gray, so everyone went down to the lotus pond.

Whew, wheeze, there was a lot of excitement in the lotus pond.

"Heh!" Turning around to see how much green wood everyone had dug, the woman who came into view unexpectedly was stunned, and then, when the woman heard the sound and looked up, she saw the woman's bloodshot eyes and eyelids that were too black and a haggard face.

···During the migration, the man didn't sleep for several days, which was not as exaggerated as her.

It's really good to be happy that my own woman is as worried as I am, but a woman's body is no better than a man's.

Seeing that Qingmei's eyelids can't be stretched, Aoki doesn't know whether to be angry or to laugh: "I told you, there are lotus roots, we are not afraid that the fish basket will not catch the fish."

She didn't explain that she couldn't fall asleep because she was worried about eating, and she didn't say anything to tell Aoki not to worry about her, Qingmei just bent down and continued.

Shaking her head, she probably wouldn't be able to fall asleep even if she was asked to go back to sleep now, so Aoki could only let her look around and shout loudly after confirming the number of lotus roots: "It's almost there."

If it weren't for the best catch, the men would never dig lotus roots here, but also for the catch, the sky is already the limit of what they can endure.

Together, everyone washed the lotus root and sent it back to the center of the tent, and then went to the water while eating.

When Xia Weiwei woke up, the sun was already out, not to mention the men, even the women and children had disappeared.

Instead of worrying about why Auntie Qingmei didn't call her, Xia Weiwei turned around to check if the lotus roots roasted the day before yesterday were still edible, and then, after making sure that the lotus roots hadn't spoiled, moved them all to the back of the tent.

At that time, she was thinking about how much the four of them would eat for a day, and she also thought that there were a lot of lotus roots, so when the Aoki family could eat more, she should let them eat more and roast more.

Unexpectedly, the three of them ate one meal yesterday, so even if they took the initiative to take cooked lotus root this morning, there is still enough for one meal now.

She doesn't have the habit of wasting, and she can't throw away the things that can still be eaten, but she wants to catch everyone earlier and let everyone accept cooked food, so the remaining lotus roots can only be used for experiments .

Dried lotus root is not only convenient to carry, but also easier to store. If it can be dried successfully, everyone can take some with them when they migrate next year for emergencies.

Compared with the raw lotus root, which will oxidize and turn black when cut, the cooked lotus root not only does not need to worry about this problem, but also loses a lot of water when it is roasted, so it has much more advantages than raw lotus root when dried.

Picked taro leaves and spread them out, Xia Weiwei cut, ate and dried taro leaves, and after cutting and drying, she was full.

She thought to herself that if the lotus root could be dried successfully, she would not have to worry too much about the migration in the coming year. She went around and compared the lotus pond and the open space outside the tribal fish pond.

Although she asked the tribe for an empty fish pond now, there should not be many people in the tribe objecting, but she didn't want to ask for help for such a trivial matter.

And these uncleaned lotus ponds, although the water is not deep, but not shallow, there are more than enough fish for her to eat alone.

Xia Weiwei, who did not have the option of asking for help, wandered around the area outside the fish pond for a long time, and finally chose an area located to the east of the tent, a distance of [-] meters from the tent circle.

After roughly planning the long and narrow space between three lotus ponds of different sizes, with an area of ​​no more than [-] square meters, Xia left with a slight smile.

She didn't join in the fun of the tribe, carrying a stone knife and ax on her back, stepped into the grass with few footprints, and walked towards the trap position while cleaning up thorn bushes and weeds.

She has to carry the fish back today. According to the previous way of walking to the water's edge and then heading towards the trap, this round trip will take at least four to 500 meters. Don't go the wrong way.

Xia Weiwei, who dawdled for a long time and finally arrived at the water's edge, did not take the fish at the first time, but checked several traps one after another, and after confirming that today's harvest was much more than yesterday, he pulled water plants to move the traps through. Stopped it, and then, she took the stone ax and ran towards the mountain bag not far away.

After a whole day, the skins of the fish, no matter how big or small, were dried on the mountain bag. Of course, compared with the palm-sized small fish, those 'big fish' with a length of more than ten centimeters were obviously less dehydrated.

"This climate is really suitable for drying in the sun. It can dry out in at least three days." After guessing, Xia Weiwei also checked carefully, after confirming that there were no traces, things, or smells that shouldn't exist on the thousands of fish, she said this. Only then can I cut the branches with confidence.

Combining branches of different lengths and shapes, and straw ropes, she wove a simple back basket, and then, after picking taro leaves to pad around the bottom, Xia Weiwei started today's most important work of fishing.

Obviously, the fish still prefer to eat meat, so the amount of fish in the trap today is at least one-third more than yesterday's.

When the aquatic plants covering the surface of the trap were pressed down by her, she couldn't feel much gap. When pushing up with her palm, dozens of fish were pulled out of the trap by her, she actually raised the trap to expand it a bit impulse.

"Papa papa..."

Water splashed and fish scales flew.

Xia Weiwei didn't pick up all the fish into the basket, but picked the big ones, fat ones with scales, and those small ones with no scales were sent to the West Paradise in one go.

First, scaleless fish are much easier to handle. Second, scaleless fish are mostly catfish species. Most of these fish are nocturnal, and they are much more ferocious than other fish species. With their incomparable large mouths With help, everything smaller than them will become their food.

She doesn't want to strictly classify them according to species and size like the tribe, then she can only kill them fundamentally, so that they have no possibility of rushing other fish.

"Bah!" Spitting out the fish scales that accidentally splashed into the mouth, Xia Weiwei roughly cleaned the trap, threw in fresh fish gills, covered it with fresh aquatic plants, and tore off the aquatic plants blocking the water opening.

She did not do two things twice, she picked up her backpack and walked away quickly after she had sorted out the trap.
