Chapter 38 Gathering Food
From a distance, there was a smell of meat, the smell of pheasant and rabbit meat stewed in the pot.

Mrs. Li took a dozen or so yams and handed them to Fang Youwei: "Give them over and ask them to cut them into the pot. This one is fresh and easy to cook, and it will be soft after a while. By then, the main food, meat and vegetables, will be available. Everyone You can eat more."

After Fang Youwei heard this, he directly carried the yams and handed them to Fang Yunping.

Fang Yunping saw so many yams, his eyes were red, "I didn't expect you to find yams, it's great! It seems that we don't have to worry about not having food for the next month."

Fang Yunping wiped his eyes with the back of his hand, thinking that he finally didn't have to worry about the food and clothing of hundreds of people...

Fang Youwei repeated what Li Shi said to Fang Yunping again, Fang Yunping couldn't help nodding, and kept saying: "Well, well, you are promising, your wife is a virtuous one, you are blessed."

After a pause, the other party said to Youwei: "Tomorrow morning, except for the elderly and the children who will watch the house at home, we will all go out, the men will go hunting, and the women will dig yams, and just in time they will come back from hunting to help carry the yams back. "

Fang Youwei felt that this arrangement was very good. Fang Yunping, the patriarch, had always been a sensible person, and the Fang family members could not go wrong with following him.

Fang Yunping carried the yam to the other party who was cooking, and asked them to peel off the skin, cut it into hob pieces, and cut it directly into the pot. Now the meat is almost stewed, and the yam is easy to cook, and it will be ready to eat in a while .

The women who cook are also very happy to see so many yams, and they can finally eat more and have a full meal.

It was both meat and yam, and after hearing what the patriarch said next, everyone was even more delighted.

They all agreed that they must work hard tomorrow and get more food to prepare when they come back.

Besides, yam can be eaten boiled, steamed, or even baked, all of which are delicious.

It has a meaty flavor when stewed in meat. As a staple food, it is soft, glutinous and sweet, and it can be crispy when made into stir-fried dishes. Everyone likes it.

After the meal was ready, everyone had a full meal, then got into the tent that had been set up and went to sleep, preparing to go to work with full energy tomorrow morning.

Of course, tomorrow men are mainly going to learn how to hunt and play tricks.

Fang Youwei also said that he would teach them some simple boxing skills, at least he would know how to make moves, where it hurts the most to hit someone, and where to attack to control the enemy with one move.

Fang Youwei also planned to cut back some suitable wood tomorrow, soak them in the water for a few days, and then make some bows and arrows for them and teach them archery.

As for how much they can learn, it depends on their talent. As long as they can learn, this also requires more practice.

The next day, when it was just dawn, everyone got up and washed up. After washing up, they quickly prepared breakfast, and then went to work quickly after breakfast.

Fang Youwei brought them another pile of yams, and boiled the yams with the leftover broth from yesterday. It is enough to eat half full of the soup and water. Anyway, the clansmen are going to dig yams today. It's not too late to eat when you come back.

After all, it was the Li family who dug it back, and the tribe members were too embarrassed to eat up their food, let alone their hundred and ten people!
After that, only the elderly and children were left in the family.

Fang Yunping arranged for ten middle-aged men to cut down trees and pull them back, so that they could build wooden houses at that time.

The rest followed Fang Youwei to learn hunting.

Li took the women straight to the woods, where the yams were found.

Everyone dispersed, each digging up the yams at hand, digging them out and stacking them together, and carrying them back when the men came back.

After they dug this area, they went to other places to find it. They found it and continued to dig. They dug up all the yams within a radius of two or three miles in one morning, and then waited for the men to come back and move the yams back.

Afterwards, they found a few chestnut trees, but they were not mature yet, and they had to wait a little longer. They would not be able to pick them until August or September, so they marked the place and came back when they were mature.
