Chapter 498: Overwintering
Although this season is not suitable for picking tea leaves, it can be picked next spring!
Such a large area covers about 50 to 60 acres. Spring tea grows very fast, and there is no need to ask for quality or bad quality. It can be picked at least three times in one spring.
When the time comes, it will be enough to make tea leaves by drying them all.
They stayed in Yixiantian for more than 20 days, and burned charcoal twice, nearly ten thousand catties.
Store it in the space if you don't use it up, and it will be needed when you board a ship in the future.
When they returned to the village again, within ten days, the first heavy snow fell.
Every household has started the days of cat winter.
At the beginning of this period, the snow was not so thick, and everyone would visit each other to chat and laugh. The children used small shovels to shovel the snow and build snowmen, not to mention how much fun they had.
Only when the heavy snow falls day by day, and the backlog of snow accumulates day by day, when you have to open the door and go down the steps, you have to shovel a path with a shovel, is it the real cat winter behind closed doors.
You must know that once the snow is thick, it is not an easy task to shovel a road and keep it clear.
Besides, everyone has worked hard for a whole year. In this cold weather when the door is closed by heavy snow, who doesn't want to stay warm at home, and who is willing to go out to sweep the snow and suffer?
In Mu Qingli's and Mo Yunshen's house, the kang was burning warmly. Xiao Ya'er pondered and tested delicious food every day, and Xiao Luan helped her. In addition, the two of them also practiced kung fu, especially light kung fu.
Practicing lightness kung fu on such a snowy field is the best. According to their brother-in-law, the highest state is stepping on the snow without a trace.
The big tortoise sank into the pond for a long time and went to sleep, the big peacock nestled in the house, refusing to let the snow fall a little bit, I don't know how this guy got here last winter, could it be that there is something wrong in the big forest? Where does it snow or where it doesn't snow at all? This is not impossible, after all, such a big place.
Mu Qingli practiced light kung fu occasionally, and spent most of her time refining medicine.
Of course, more often than not, he was pestered by the men around him, and lived a shameless life.
This man probably likes this kind of winter the most. He moves every day, and when Xiao Yaer and Xiao Luan are not in front of him, he wants to kiss and hug him. When he returns to the room at night, he tosses hard.
In his words, there is nothing to do tomorrow anyway, even if you wake up at noon tomorrow, it doesn't matter. Anyway, Xiao Ya'er and Xiao Luan are so diligent that they don't even need her sister to do housework, so what does it matter if you sleep a little longer?
Mu Qingli was so angry that she didn't know what to say, if it was really sleeping, it would be fine, but he was so tossing every day, and he was not tired at all, which made her almost delay in refining medicine.
Day by day, the biting cold wind quietly melted into three or four points of warmth - spring is finally approaching!
The villagers are very sensitive to climate changes, and it is not uncommon to feel the changes in the air.
Everyone secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
If this year, like last year, the snow closure period is delayed by 10 to 20 days or even longer, that would be a terrible thing.
Unexpectedly, this year's heavy snow closure period has not been extended, but has been lifted in advance.
The sun is shining brightly, the sun is shining on the body, the warmth is warm, the ice and snow are just melting, there are ticking sounds everywhere, converging into gurgling water, gutters and gutters gather snow water, gurgling, washing away dust and dirt, everywhere Clean and refreshing.
The chill in the air, under the warm sunshine, subsided little by little every day.
In just two or three days, most of the snow has melted away, and after a little shoveling with a shovel, you can go out.
Every household took out the clothes and bedding that had been nestled for a winter to dry, and visited each other to discuss, talk and laugh, beaming.
Spring is here, and people are inexplicably infected by the revival of all things in their hearts, giving birth to some hope and anticipation, and people are always willing to believe in spring that this day will definitely be better day by day.
Because the freezing had just thawed, no one dared to go into the big forest, but only dared to look for some small wild vegetable sprouts that had just sprouted in the early spring in the mountains and forests near the village.
As the weather warms up day by day, the sun shines brighter day by day, everything revives, and soon the earth changes.
The guards began to take turns to practice again, and went hunting in the mountains.
Mo Yunshen easily didn't lead the team anymore, they could go by themselves.
This spring, more food needs to be stored.
Uncle Qin and the others have already made the model of the ship. If the ship is built this year, it will not be able to leave next year, and it will definitely be able to leave the year after that. Therefore, all kinds of food have to be stored.
This winter, it is even more necessary to make various air-dried meats.
Seeing the weather conditions, it is possible to enter the big forest. After discussing with the deputy village head and the old village steward, they planned to take fifty people to the stronghold in the wet forest for food storage, and at the same time bring two guards. Go further ahead and set up a stronghold under the Rhododendron Mountain.
After enclosing the area under Dujuan Mountain, a team of 300 people continued to build houses, and the other 300 people continued to move forward with Uncle Qin and a few carpenters. Stay there and help.
By the way, build some houses between the valleys and valleys along the seaside, and when the large troops here have migrated, there will be places to live.
All in all, this year is bound to be the busiest year ever.
After making arrangements and distribution, everyone started to set off.
This time, all the affairs of the village were handed over to Village Chief Zhao and Zhang Zishan. The training that should be done, the search for food to live a good life, and the migration of large troops had to wait until after the rainy season.
Perhaps it will not be possible to relocate all of them this year.
After all, it would be a big project to pull down this long-distance trek line just to supply it.
Six hundred people arrived at the first stronghold after walking for about a month.
The team of thirty women and twenty guards found a place to stay temporarily, and Mu Qingli, Xiaoya'er, Xiaoluan and Dagui stayed here together.
After resting for the night, the 600 guards continued to move forward the next day under the leadership of Mo Yunshen, Gao Dashan and A Yuan, heading to the foot of Dujuan Mountain.
During the few days of walking through the humid forest, everyone complained incessantly, saying that they had never seen a forest like this before. It was clear that the sun was shining brightly outside, but it was raining here, with a ticking sound. non-stop.
So much so that he had to wear animal skins on his body, at least to cover some raindrops.
Mo Yunshen and the others calmly said that this forest has always been like this. Even if it is sunny outside, the inside is still ticking, damp and wet. You can touch the bark and water in your hand, so just speed up and go, don't think about it. yes or no...
Everyone was very depressed when they heard it, and they could only stop thinking about waiting for the weather to clear before leaving, and speed up their journey.
