Be a Leader In a Primitive Tribe - Chapter 106

As time progressed day by day, it snowed soon.

On the side of Yanshan, some people came one after another after the snow fell, and on the second and sixth year, many more people came one after another, adding up to the original twenty or so people, there were eight There are more than ten people.

These people staggered in the snow, and when they found the camp in Yanshan, some of them were dying.

Fortunately, I quickly covered it with the animal skin, and when I recovered, I hugged the kang and drank some hot water, and was revived again.

The accompanying tourists wept with joy, they traveled all the way and finally came here, fortunately they are still alive.

Que specially built two large kang rooms, which are surrounded by kangs on all sides. Men and women are separated, and they are centralized and easy to manage.

For the tourists, this is already the best destination in the world. This house can shelter the wind and snow, and the warm Kang under them is something they have never seen before, and they have never had such a good winter.

The hot soup boiled with big bones is oily and has a slight salty taste. Even if you only sprinkle a handful of vegetable leaves, it is enough to keep you warm for a whole day.

Not to mention that it can be served with pink and glutinous cassava.

It was snowing, and there was not much work on the Yanshan side. Que arranged for this big guy to take turns to take care of the animals in the house, and the snow on the roof was cleaned at any time to prevent the house from being crushed.

Before the snow fell, Que had already arranged for the logistics department to reinforce and keep the house warm. Thatch was added on and around the shed, and the ground was paved with grass for the livestock to lie down, so as to keep the livestock warm and prevent frostbite.

At the same time, a vent should be reserved for every two rooms in the ceiling to discharge ammonia and moisture in the house.

The forage team has stocked up forage in advance to ensure that the animals will not go hungry this winter.

Que is a veteran in this area, she looks unhurried, but in fact she has a plan in her heart, and things are arranged one by one, and everything is just right.

Her husband, Ma, is honest, speaks very little, and has a lot of strength. There are some places that he can’t take care of, so he silently helps her take care of them.

The interpersonal relationship here is simple, you only need to do things according to Que’s orders, and the big guys get together, but it’s fun.

The more than 20 tourists from Xindi, including the small leaders including Que and the others, were divided into houses, and every household was equipped with kangs. The camp was originally on the mountain, surrounded by tall trees. One tree can burn for a long time, so there is no need to worry about firewood.

These people came here with their families, and when it snowed, they liked to go to the kang house to join in the fun.

They had joined the Phoenix Tribe for more than five years at the longest, and they almost forgot how other tourists from other tribes lived outside, and went to the big kang house to chat with each other if they had nothing to do.

There are a lot of pine nuts in the forest. Before the snow fell, the children went to pick up many pine nuts, peeled them and dried them in the sun.

Now I have nothing to do, so I put it on a big iron pot and fried it, added some salt, fried a few big pots and took it to the big kang house, and shared a little bit. Everyone huddled on the kang and chatted, not to mention how comfortable it was.

These tourists also never expected that they could live a life like this in this ice and snow, it feels like they are dreaming.

Everyone got together, the women talked about the women, and the men also talked about theirs. The two kang rooms are connected in the middle, so it is convenient to visit.

The soldiers of the Phoenix Tribe also intentionally or unintentionally told the group of tourists about the life in the tribe, including the schools in Xindi, as well as industries such as pottery and waterwheels, which aroused the longing of the group of tourists.

However, listening to the tourists talking about the hardships outside, in order to have a meal, they chased a prey for several days and let it run away. How to be attacked by a beast, you can only escape with a narrow escape, and there are also those who are unlucky and die directly. Under the sharp claws, the soldiers of the Phoenix Tribe couldn’t help but sigh.

They also lived such a hard life before, but after entering the tribe, they no longer have the opportunity to be exposed to these dangerous scenes.

Really lucky.

The tourists are lying on the hot kang, and their excitement can’t be calmed down. What they hear, what they see, and everything they feel, is so warm and beautiful. Everyone can’t wait to integrate into this tribe. Become a true Phoenix tribesman, no longer wandering outside.

After listening to the suffering experiences of the tourists, the fighters of the Phoenix Tribe stationed here felt how precious their current life was, and it was the most correct choice to attach themselves to the Phoenix Tribe. Otherwise, in such a winter, I don’t know where I will die.

And the Xindi side.

This year’s Spring Festival everyone feels very happy, it’s snowing and it’s a holiday, and all the festive food distributed by the tribe is brought home.

This kind of clothes is distributed by everyone now, and the cotton clothes that the leader arranged for the handicraft team to make at the beginning of this year have also been made.

Although cotton can be used inside, there are animal feathers and kapok, etc., and there is a coat made of animal skin on the outside, which can also block the wind and keep warm on the body. It is warm for two steps.

The body is warm, and the big guys don’t want to stay in the house every day. The big girls and the young guys can’t stay idle, they go up the mountain to dig wild boar holes, and the older ones with children just stop by and chat.

Now everyone is on vacation, and the children in the childcare center are picked up by their parents and taken care of by themselves.

The rest of the children without parents in the school celebrated the New Year with Ci.

This has been the case for several years.

Ci has no children and does not want to marry. She knows all the children in the tribe, and everyone calls her Mother Ci. She stays with the children when she is free.

During the Chinese New Year, the children were laughing and laughing in the kang room.

Seeing that everyone is well taken care of, Sang Yu finally felt relieved and lived her new year well.

In the winters of last few years, the women used the entire winter to make linen clothes for the whole tribe, and the men made several large stone mills.

And this winter there are so many more people, and there are more people who can work.

So naturally there are things to do this year. The task Sangyu has arranged for everyone this winter is to make two hundred wooden barrels and two to three hundred wooden basins, so that each family can have a wooden basin and a washbasin.

And in the kitchen, we need to allocate some vegetables to load and wash.

When making noodle pancakes before, so many pancakes were steamed in a steamer, and a few more pancakes were made and sent back to Yanshan and Tongzhen.

As for wood and bamboo, some were prepared before the snow fell, and if not enough, Zhuang and Gao would be arranged to take the hunting team to cut them at any time.

Nowadays, everyone has clothes to wear “cotton clothes” and animal skins, and they can go out in cold weather, and when it snows, pulling logs only needs to be tied and rolled down, which is not a big problem.

Although every household now has pottery pots, pots are easy to break when moved around, and they are far less durable than wooden pots.

Wooden barrels and basins have been made before, but they have not become popular.

So when the first wooden barrel was made from their own hands, everyone still felt very miraculous.

I didn’t expect the wood pieces to be put together and hooped so that there is no water leakage, which is wonderful.

Especially with the rope installed, it can be picked up and walked steadily, not to mention how convenient it is.

The happiest thing is Yuan, because once her big steamer comes out, it can steam 20 pancakes in one drawer, and can steam 150 or 60 pancakes with seven or eight drawers at a time. The two pans take turns to steam. Don’t be afraid of getting burnt, it will come out of the pot when the time comes, and you can still make vegetables while steaming, which saves most of the time.

And it is clean and hygienic. The finished pancakes are yellow and chubby, not to mention how delicious they are.

The steamer is not only suitable for steaming buns, cassava can also be steamed in the steamer after washing, and eggs, vegetables and meat can also be steamed.

The big steamer is used in the cafeteria, and the small ones are used in other small families, which is also convenient.

Yuan praised Sang Yu unreservedly. Everyone has long been used to the fact that their leader can come up with some novel ideas every few days.

After five years of development, according to the scale of self-propagation and self-feeding, the basic sow breeding capacity is less than 100, and the annual slaughter pigs are about 1,000.

Excluding the daily consumption of meat pigs, as well as the male and female pigs that need to be expanded for breeding, there are now a total of 2,000 meat pigs in the farm.

Based on this data, Sangyu had already planned for the New Year pigs years ago. Twelve pigs were to be killed in Xindi, six were rushed to Tong Town in advance, and four were given to Yanshan.

Everyone can have a good year this year.

A big fat pig of four to five hundred catties can eat several meals for a big guy.

Not counting the chicken and rabbit meat, but also the meat of venison and other wild animals that the hunting party had stockpiled years ago.

Fortunately, the weather is cold now, and I am not afraid of smelling, so I can leave it for a few days.

But the slaughter of pigs is lively and festive, who wouldn’t like it.

At New Year’s Eve, when the snow was still falling, Sang Yu ordered Zhuang to take five people to kill pigs.

These pigs include wild boars caught by hunting teams, and some meat pigs bred and raised in farms. The huge wild boars have been raised in the pigpen for nearly three years, and their tempers have gradually been smoothed out. I don’t know that I’m ready to be a meal on the plate.

According to Sang Yu’s method, Zhuang and others used a hook to bring it down, tied it tightly with a rope, or pressed it with a long piece of wood, and stabbed it in with a knife.

The pig’s blood is also caught in a large basin and used to fill the blood sausage.

The big guys don’t have to work that day, and they all come to watch the slaughter of pigs.

After the pig was slaughtered, Fang picked a few clever ladies to the dining hall to cook the New Year’s Eve dinner.

The leader said that tomorrow is the new year, and we will have a delicious meal tonight to welcome the arrival of the new year.

The intestines of this big wild boar are also long enough. In order to allow more people to eat pig blood sausage, almost all the large and small intestines have to be used.

The pig’s blood is mixed with millet flour and potato flour, and the fatty meat on the side of the intestines is fried to produce oil, and the wild **** is chopped and mixed into the pig’s blood, diluted with salt and water.

Add a little more water, because these millet noodles will harden when cooked, and thinner blood sausage will be softer and taste better.

Pour these ingredients into the blood sausage and put it directly into the steamer.

The pig skeleton is chopped off and boiled in pottery tripods prepared for each table, and dry ingredients are added to make soup.

After the soybeans are fried, they are fried together with the rabbit meat, and the condiments are added to make it delicious.

And today’s highlight is the stewed meat, which can also be regarded as a pig-killing dish. Throw everything into the pot together and cook it.

This year’s New Year’s Eve dinner, everyone is looking forward to it. Everyone gathers around the cafeteria with bright eyes, waiting for the delicious food to come out of the pan.

There are about 700 people, 20 people are crowded at each table, the children sit in the front, and the adults stand behind with their shoulders. There are about 30 tables, and the seats are full.

There is charcoal burning under the pottery tripod, and the inside of the tripod is steaming, and it feels warm when you look at it.

Food was also placed on the hollow tables around Tao Ding, exuding a tempting aroma.

On such an important day, Sang Yu naturally had to have a New Year’s Eve dinner with everyone.

Everyone is not afraid of her today, you can sit at any table, wait for her order to serve the meal, cheers from more than a dozen tables, and start to attack the food.

—

The Chinese New Year atmosphere in Tongzhen is not bad either. With more than 50 people stationed there, plus nearly 400 new recruits, the burden of food is currently on the Xindi side.

Fortunately, the nearly 2,000 mu of land in Xindi can still handle it for the time being.

So Sangyu has also given an order to Ke that after the Chinese New Year, he will open up wasteland for farming. Within a year, he must open up at least 400 acres of land, reaching one acre per capita to complete the task.

In addition, the breeding team has to be developed, and some sows, piglets and breeding pigs will be sent to Xindi. Within three years, this place will be self-sufficient.

Now that there is a hydraulic cart, the New Year’s goods sent this time include ground rice noodles. So on the night of New Year’s Eve, this group of newcomers finally had noodles as their staple food.

A few meat pigs are actually not many, after all, there are many people. Therefore, when cooking in the canteen, the pork is minced, a hole is cut in the noodle pancake, and the meat is stuffed in. Roujiamo is like a brother.

Where have the newcomers eaten such delicacies? They have never eaten bread, and it takes a long time to eat meat. They usually eat turf, tree roots, wild fruits, and insects in the forest and grass. They eat whatever they can.

This is why many plants around the tribe have been ripped out, exposing the yellow mud.

One noodle cake is equivalent to three or four modern steamed buns, mixed with vegetable leaves, exuding a fresh taste.

The men caught the pancakes, and bit off a quarter of them with one big mouth. The fat wrapped in the pancakes flowed out and seeped into the pancakes. The rough pancakes were stirred along the mouth, and the sense of taste was awakened at this moment. .

“It’s so delicious, I’ve never eaten such a delicious thing, woo woo woo…”

Some people in the crowd were even on the verge of crying.

Some people are reluctant to finish eating in one bite, chewing and chewing in their mouths, and finally swallow it with a satisfied face.

Some people plucked some hay around the house and put it in the bread, and ate it together, so that the amount would be larger and fuller.

It was snowing heavily outside, and the wooden house was warm and warm. Each person had a big pottery bowl, and they drank the hot soup, feeling happy.

Now for the Phoenix Tribe, three hundred pottery bowls can be made easily, and a large earthen kiln can make thousands of medium bowls, but it takes time to knead the embryos.

Four large pottery tripods are enough for four hundred people.

The soup is mainly boiled with shaved bones, and some meat is added in. The bamboo shoots dried last year and the wild mushrooms from the mountain are also thrown in. The green vegetables are naturally added, and finally a bowl of thick soup is made. broth.

Each person also shared a few pieces of bacon, and the smell of bacon attracted people’s greediness.

A large pancake and a large bowl of broth make this group of people so beautiful.

This is the most sumptuous meal for the newcomers for the first time. Liang also explained to them that from now on, the meal will be a large pancake with a large bowl of broth, so that the pancake will no longer be stuffed with meat.

Even so, the food is already top-notch, and no one is unwilling to say that they will work hard next year and abide by the discipline of the tribe.

In the big thatched shed outside Tongzhen, more than 20 people can only eat cassava and drink some wild vegetable soup to survive the winter. They think of the food that Xindi sent to Tongzhen a few days ago and the pig that they drove away, and they regret it in their hearts. , one complained about the other.

It’s a pity that I regretted it at this time, and Ke was determined not to accept these people.

After the New Year’s Eve dinner, Sang Yu has nothing to do, so she can focus more on other things.

For example, grind tofu.

Beans have been planted for many years, and thousands of catties have been saved in the warehouse. They are used to grow some bean sprouts or stewed meat on weekdays, but they are not very useful.

Sang Yu has always wanted to eat some tofu and drink soy milk, but this matter has never been realized.

Fortunately, there are enough stone mills in the tribe now, both dry and wet.

In the afternoon of the second day of junior high school, Sang Yu began to invite Yuan to make tofu.

One hundred catties of beans can be made as much as you can. It is quite difficult for the whole tribe to eat tofu.

Yuan and the two apprentices each carried a bag, and soon came to the food processing workshop by the river.

This workshop is used for grinding rice and flour on weekdays.

“Yuan, pass it with a coarse grinder first.”

This kind of mill does not turn into powder, but only grinds the beans into a few pieces, just like the modern corn head grinding. In this way, it is much easier to get a discount on the water mill later.

“Boss, should these coarse beans be soaked in water directly?” Yuan asked with a dustpan on his shoulder.

“Not yet, you bring the sieve here…” Sang Yi finished the sieve, “Like me, sift out the bean skins, and don’t throw away the skins, mix it with the pigs.”

“Success, leader, I know this.”

Yuan took the second apprentice Fang, and the eldest apprentice Liang is now in Tongzhen. The two took a round sieve to sift the leather away, and then soaked it in a large set of vats.

“Let it soak overnight first, and then grind the beans in water tomorrow morning.”

When she woke up the next day, Sang Yu came to the workshop. Yuan and Fang had already ground the beans into pulp, and even boiled the hot water needed.

“You guys are so early.”

If it wasn’t for the time on the watch that was only pointing to half past seven, Sang Yu would have thought she was sleeping in again.

“First of all, didn’t you say how delicious this tofu is? I dreamed of tofu at night, and I couldn’t sleep for a moment when I woke up.”

Fang Xiao’s face flushed with excitement.

“Just like your master, when you hear something to eat, your eyes light up.”

Yuan covered his mouth and smiled, “That’s right, what I said first, if you are close to a pig, it will be red and if you are close to ink, it will be black. That’s not the same.”

“Those who are close to vermilion are red and those who are close to ink are black…” Sang Yu said comfortingly, “I didn’t expect you to not only remember to eat, but also to do well in culture classes.”

“Where there is nothing, it’s not that Ji is whispering in his ear every day.”

Ming is one of the first two teachers in the tribe, who specializes in Chinese and is also another opening for Yuan. The two have just been married for less than two months, and it is the time when they are like glue.

“Very good. People need to form a pair to supervise and improve each other in learning. You are directly influenced by the couple.”

Hearing Sang Yu’s joke, Yuan blushed but was still very proud. Her man is now a cultural person of the tribe, and she has a radiant face.

Sang Yu stopped teasing, and told the two of them to scald the soy milk with a scoop of boiling water, and after about ten minutes, filter the bean dregs with the prepared sackcloth, hang up the bag, and shake it by hand until the water in it drained.

During this process, Fang couldn’t help but sigh: “Delicious food really takes a lot of effort.”

Sang Yu nodded: “That’s right, we can eat this tofu ourselves, and let others make it themselves if they want to eat it.”

When the two of them heard what Sang Yu said, they felt a little bit that their leader seemed like an ordinary person.

“Boss, I’m not afraid of trouble. Whenever you want tofu, I’ll make it for you.”

Sang Yu smiled and said, “It’s rare that you have the heart. Let me see if I can make it well this time. If it tastes good, I’ll let you do it secretly next time.”

Fang led the task and nodded happily.

After the soy milk is drained, pour the raw soy milk into a large iron pot, heat it up and boil until the foam of the soy milk on the surface of the pot bursts, then remove the heat to get cooked soy milk.

Then put the pre-diluted gypsum powder on the tofu. The gypsum is found on the mountain. The main component is calcium carbonate, which is an edible calcium carbonate. The gypsum can solidify the soybean milk.

Next, put it into the box, and press a heavy slate on the shrimp with a sackcloth pad, and press it for two hours to become tofu cubes.

Two minutes later, Sang Yu took a kitchen knife, divided the formed pieces one by one, cut them into small cubes and said:

“It’s done, just take this and cook it with the broth, just be careful not to let it disperse when you put it in.”

As for other tofu dishes, let Yuan think of it.

Three catties of soybeans can be used to make one catty of tofu, and the remaining tofu dregs cannot be wasted.

The leave has not been confiscated yet, but these children without a home still have to eat. So the canteen must be open no matter what day it is.

Today’s lunch in the canteen is the same as before, the staple food is noodles, broth and vegetables.

Rice can only be eaten at night.

Because of the Spring Festival, the broth is made with chicken, and there is an extra plate of pork.

“Yuan, mix all these tofu dregs into the noodles.”

Yuan naturally followed suit, but if this pancake can be cut with oil in a large iron pan, it will be delicious. There are 70 children in the school, and some single teachers including Ci. It takes a lot of effort to fry ten pancakes one by one.

Therefore, it is still the same as before, directly on the big steamer.

Palm-sized bean curd noodle pancakes are thick and firm, two for one person can fill you up.

It is rare that the chicken in the broth is not chopped very small. Add wild products from the mountains, including mushrooms and day lily, etc., and then cut the tofu into small pieces and throw it in, and stew in a big pot.

When the meal was served, everyone also noticed the difference between pancakes and broth.

“Yuan, what’s in the pancake, it’s tender and fragrant, so delicious.”

“There are white and tender lumps in the broth, what are they?”

“This is tofu…” Yuan shouted loudly, and everyone heard it, “This tofu is made by the leader. After eating it, it tastes good, and people can be as white and tender as the leader.”

When Sang Yu, who was sitting on the side drinking broth, heard this, the pottery bowl almost fell to the ground.

This guy really dares to say anything. When did he say such a thing to her?

Seeing the overly enthusiastic eyes of everyone around, Sang Yu didn’t bother to explain, and nodded with a smile in agreement with Yuan’s words.

After being confirmed by the leader, several female teachers in the tribe couldn’t sit still. In the past, a large bowl of broth can be filled with two pancakes. Today, after drinking bowl after bowl, those who came later almost fell asleep. No more broth.

Fortunately, there is a fixed amount of bean curd pancakes per meal, otherwise there would not be enough pancakes.

Yuan also left a large piece of tofu for Sang Yu, telling her to go back to her small stove and make it herself.

Sang Yu planned to fry tofu to eat at night. In fact, she also wanted to drink soy milk and make tofu flower, but now that tofu is made, tofu flower is not far away.

She kicked the little girl next to her and said, “Go to my room to eat tofu at night, do you want to go?”

When Yu heard this, his eyes sparkled.
