Quick Transmigration: The Harvest God, I'm Very Busy

Chapter 349 Primitive Farming Records (16)

Cattail grass, along the river, almost two or three miles, everywhere is full of cattail grass.

This means that she can eat fresh and tender cattail leaves, and can also weave cattail mats, cattail fans, cattail shoes, cattail curtains, and cattail baskets.

Cattail sticks of cattail grass can be used for lighting. They can be burned at night in summer to repel insects and mosquitoes.Pu stick wadding can be used to make pillows and fill cotton-padded clothes.Pufen is a medicinal material.In her first life, she even killed many people because of an investigation into corruption in the army. It was discovered that the army's cotton-padded clothes were stuffed with catkins instead of cotton.

Of course, cattail grass can also be used to make paper.In later generations, cattail grass is the most important raw material for papermaking.Like bamboo, it can be regenerated and is available every year, avoiding the damage to the environment caused by using forest trees to make paper.Of course, the current wild jungle does not spare wood.But the embankment of a thousand miles is destroyed by ant nests.

She didn't do anything else, approached the river bank cautiously, served the best insect-repelling loose-smelling naan produced by the cultivation world, smeared the insect-repellent medicine produced by witches on her body, and took a stick to pat the cattail grass from a distance. After frightening away some aquatic creatures such as snakes in the river, I went down to the river to pull grass.

The river is wide, and apart from snakes, there should be no dangerous large fish.

When pulling cattail grass, I even found quite a few big river prawns, as well as green shrimps similar to crayfish, but they all left in shock.

On the contrary, there are quite a few snails the size of a palm, attached to cattail grass and other aquatic plants, and the green soul is very happy. Now her daily food types can increase again.

The stir-fried snail slices are really delicious.

When she lived in the countryside, she did not eat less.Stir-fried with pickles, it is a fragrance.

It took half a day to collect thousands of cattail cattails into the space, and found several clusters of cattails, and Qinghun also picked a bundle.Then he picked up another basket of snails, and Qinghun finally landed.

She couldn't care about the shrimps and fish in the river for the time being.She planned to make a few fish baskets to catch fish and shrimps in a few days.

Grilled dried fish can be stored for a period of time even in hot weather.After the shrimps are dried, they can also be stored.

Unfortunately, there is no salt.Otherwise, after the rainy season, more food can be stored, and the clansmen will not have the problem of starvation in winter.

For Qinghun, the most important thing now is actually salt.

It's a pity that she can't run far now, otherwise she can go out to travel, looking for salt mines, or looking for the sea.How to make salt, of course she knew.

However, since the clansmen can exchange for salt when participating in the trading market, it proves that there are salt mines nearby.

Rock salt is rich in minerals and is indeed better than sea salt in terms of nutrition.Of course, if salt mines can be discovered, there are other benefits, not only can the problem of salt be solved, but also useful minerals such as salt and gypsum and thenardite can be mined.

It's a pity that these are really not things that can be rushed.

take it easy.

It was enough for Qinghun to be pleasantly surprised to find such a large patch of cattail grass.

Seeing that it was still early to go back, Qinghun also remembered the place where the soft vines were picked and cut, went to cut a few bundles of soft vines, and threw them to the place where she soaked the soft vines that day.

On the way back, Qinghun found several tall mulberry trees.

Qinghun couldn't help sighing that the primitive forest may be more dangerous for primitive people, but for her who has accepted the cultural and technological knowledge of the later generations for thousands of years, it is really a treasure everywhere.

The roots, bark, leaves, milk, and seeds of paper mulberry are all important medicinal materials.Moreover, paper bark is even a very high-grade raw material for papermaking.

The sycamore tree grows very much like a sycamore tree, and the fruit looks like it. When the fruit is ripe, small red balls hang on the tree one by one, which is very beautiful.

After the leaves and branches are torn apart, there is a very rich white milk inside, and this milk is rich in protein.

Qinghun remembers that in his childhood in the rural life in the 70s, every Dragon Boat Festival, no matter how poor the family was, no matter how tired the farming was, they would remember to use cattails, mugwort leaves, and mulberry leaves to boil a large pot of water for their children. Then throw the babies in the big wooden barrel, wash them well with the turquoise water from the pot, and finally lift them out of the wooden barrel, wipe them clean, and put rice wine sulfur on the navel pink.

She has enjoyed this treatment for many years.Thinking about it now, I just feel warm.

In the past, she thought it was superstition, but after studying Chinese medicine, she realized that it was really not superstition.

Whether it is cattail, mugwort, or tree leaves, it has the medicinal effects of expelling insects, clearing away heat and detoxifying, treating dysentery and skin diseases.

This is very important to the current clan members.

You must know that more clansmen die from various diseases every year than from hunger and severe cold.Among them, the elderly and young children are in the majority.

There are already cattails and paper mulberry. It would be even better if we can find wormwood.

The growth of mugwort and cattail paper trees require similar environments. Since they exist, she believes that mugwort leaves can also be found.

After all, although most of the plants here are unknown to her, what she has seen in the past two days, such as amaranth, dandelion, purslane and other wild vegetables, although there are some differences in shape and size from the vegetables she knows in later generations, The taste is better, but after all, these plants exist, but with the change of the climate of the world, some changes in shape.

This is normal. All biological plants will evolve to be more suitable for survival due to climate and other conditions.

Because he had to bring wild vegetables back home, it was inconvenient to carry cattail grass, so Qinghun simply cut off a branch, put it on his back, picked up two bundles of cattail grass with the branch, and went back to the family residence.

The one who recovered the vegetables was no longer Uncle Shi, but another first-class soldier named Takagi, who was only 14 years old, not much older than Qinghun.

Seeing that Qing Hun was carrying so many things, he hurriedly stepped forward to help her unload the things.

"Hey, why did you bring so much grass back? It's not winter yet, so you don't need to sleep on it? Is it for burning? Don't you have any firewood at home? Haha, let your little friend cut it for you Come back soon."

Then he laughed at her for catching a lot of snails and returning them.

Qinghun didn't explain, just smiled and said: "I keep this grass, it's useful anyway, this is not a wild vegetable to hand in. I picked a big basket of wild vegetables. Brother Gao Mu, please help me collect the things quickly , I have to hurry back."

Takagi took out [-]% of the vegetables in the back basket, and put the rest back for her, and said: "Your back basket is really good, but I don't have time to learn, I have to patrol the clan's land every day, yo, can you help me make it up?" One? I’ll exchange it with you for jerky.”

Qinghun nodded: "Okay. But I didn't cut the soft vines back today, I will cut some and weave them for you tomorrow. It will be fine in one night, and you can pick them up in the morning after tomorrow."

When she returned, Diao and the others were sitting under her wooden shed, waiting for her. (Second update)
