Yao Xiaoqing smiled and said, "This goat's milk does not nourish people. If it touches people, they will die. Put the arrowheads and spearheads in it, soak it for a while, and the venom will seep in."
"Father, do you still have enough shafts and spearheads for spears? Let's put all the spearheads on the spears, let the women stand under the wall, and stab the enemy when they see them."
Muba and Leopard nodded, "Yes, the spearhead is dipped in venom. As long as the spear pierces and bleeds, those people will fall down after a while."
Yao Hu nodded, "When Ah Chong and the others looked at the green pole wood last year, they made more than a hundred and put them in the warehouse. We punched some spearheads and will make some later."
Ever since Yao Xiaoqing taught them to count, even the worst in the tribe, young and old, can count within two hundred.
Yao Xiaoqing thought for a moment, "I'll go find Yun Amu and the others and ask them to make some leather gloves quickly to prevent everyone from accidentally stabbing themselves."
Yao Hu nodded, "You go ahead! Pig, Xiong Niu, you carry the spear shaft to the refining room, and we will beat the spear head and install it tonight."
"Yes!" The pig and the bull took out the spear pole standing in the corner.
Shan went to the stoneware room, brought the isinglass, and went to the refining room with Yaohu and Mufeng.
After the leopard soaked the arrowheads and spears in venom, they placed them on the wooden frame and stacked them.
Yaohu and Mufeng stayed up all night, beating the iron blocks originally used to make iron pots into spearheads.
The big tree took the fish and the others to sharpen the spearhead, and worked until dawn before putting the spearhead on the spear shaft.
Shan'am and the women worked until midnight and made dozens of pairs of gloves.
At dawn, Yao Xiaoqing went to the cafeteria with a piece of plaster.
Yun Amu pointed to the beans in the bucket and said with a smile: "There are several large bowls of beans, and after soaking, there is more than half of the bucket."
Yao Xiaoqing smiled and nodded, "Rinse the beans and grind them out on the millstone."
"Okay." Yun Amu walked towards the pool with the bucket in hand.
The stone mill was installed in the corner of the canteen. Yao Xiaoqing picked up a large wooden bucket, scooped half a bucket of water, and rinsed the stone mill.
Yun Amu and Yuzi came over carrying beans.
Yao Xiaoqing went to the kitchen and brought out a wooden bucket, divided the beans into two parts, filled it with water, put a rice spoon in it, and placed the wooden bucket on the bamboo stand.
The beans and water were scooped up and poured into the mill eye. Taro and Yun Amu worked together to push the stone mill, and the soy milk flowed into the millstone and followed the groove into the wooden barrel.
After Yun Amu learned to add beans, Yao Xiaoqing crushed the gypsum, thought about it, scooped some gypsum into a small pottery pot, and mixed it with water. She planned to make soft tofu and mix it with oil, chili pepper, salt, and green onions.
You can eat the leaves.
After mixing the gypsum water, Yao Xiaoqing went to the vegetable field and picked a handful of red peppers and a handful of green onion leaves.
Crack the red pepper and take out the pepper seeds and dry them in a dustpan.
Cut the pepper into short sections, chop into pieces and put in a bowl, cut the green onion leaves into short sections.
Pour a few spoonfuls of lard into the pot and heat it up. Add the chopped fresh chili peppers and stir-fry twice. Then add the chili noodles, stir-fry and mix well, and shovel it into a clay pot.
Yao Xiaoqing is thinking that next year there will be more beans, so she will try to make some bean paste and soy sauce.
After Yun Amu and Taro Zi finished grinding the beans, they had no choice but to pour the soy milk into a dustpan without a filter cloth and filter it several times.
Pour the filtered soy milk into two stone pots and stir while cooking to prevent the soy milk from sticking to the pot.
After the soy milk boiled, Yao Xiaoqing scooped the soy milk into the wooden bucket after a while. She held the gypsum water in one hand and stirred the soy milk with the other. She slowly poured the gypsum water into the soy milk and let it sit for a while. Then she added some more
Put the gypsum water inside, stir and let it sit for a while, then skim off the scum on top.
After the soy milk solidifies, it turns into white and tender tofu pudding.
Seeing several bowls of beans, Yun Amu made two wooden barrels of white and tender bean curds. She nodded happily, "I never thought that beans could make such beautiful food!"
Yao Xiaoqing pointed at the bean dregs and said, "Amu, take those bean dregs and some Poria cocos powder and fry some pancakes to eat with them. I'll ask them to come over and you can eat them."
"I know, I will eat it like this in the future. It won't be wasted at all."
Yaohu and the others came to the canteen. Everyone praised the tender bean curd after eating it and asked to eat it like this next time. Yao Xiaoqing ate the tender bean curd that lacked a lot of seasoning and thought it tasted pretty good.
After eating the food, Shan took the people to the platform on the mountain. He spent a day building the remaining wall and the cave outlet, and camouflaged them with mulch and dead branches.
The old ladies from Shanmu cut down all the sugar cane.
Yao Xiaoqing used millet poles to pierce a row of straw men and taught the women and uncles in the tribe to practice stabbing with spears.
Yao Xiaoqing held the spear and explained to them while practicing: "Hold the spear tightly with both hands and stab the enemy without hesitation when you find it. You must do it quickly, hard and accurately!"
"Just like when we go out to collect food, when we see food, we should pounce on it without hesitation. What we get in the basket is ours."
"What we are holding now are ordinary spears. When the enemy comes, they will use spears soaked in venom. Everyone, remember not to hurt yourself. Remember?"
Everyone responded in unison: "Remember."
Seeing them sweating profusely from practicing, no one complained. Yao Xiaoqing thought that if he sharpened his skills before the battle, it would be a waste if he was unhappy, which was better than doing nothing.
Yaohu took his people for a walk in the forest and checked the traps one by one. Then he inserted many honey locust thorns into the grass under the west wall before returning to the tribe.
He said to everyone: "From tomorrow morning on, we won't go out. We will wait until the big black bear comes before we go out."
*****
The territory of the Sishan Giant Bear Tribe is surrounded by mountains. There is a large flat land in the middle of the mountains, which looks a bit like a large wooden basin when viewed from above.
Originally, there were seven or eight tribes here, large and small. The small tribes were scared away by the giant bear tribe, and the big ones were wiped out by him.
The giant bear tribe occupied the Si Mountain, which was rich in products and had a wide scope for hunting and gathering.
The tribe also planted beans and millet. The temperature in the mountains was lower than that of the Ninghe River. It was the time to harvest millet, and the tribe was very busy.
Outside the cave where the black bear lives, there are more than a hundred warriors standing.
These warriors plundered several large nearby tribes, and the Yaoshan tribe also had one of these people in their plundering operation.
Black Bear looked at the tall man with dark red skin standing at the front, "Youzhu, you brought people to the Yaoshan tribe, it's best to kill them all without leaving any one behind. Get all their pumpkins and weapons back to the tribe.
.”
Youzhu puffed out his strong chest and responded loudly: "Yes, leader!"
The black bear waved, "Let's go! Warriors!"
A group of people carried arrows and spears on their backs and walked towards the outside of the tribe.
The next afternoon, Youzhu led the people across Shenmu Mountain to a mountain not far from the Yaoshan tribe's territory.
