===Preservation Kitchens===
Scenes of food drying, fermenting, storing, and preparing for winter in communal or home kitchens
*An open-air preservation kitchen with rows of drying racks, filled with sliced root vegetables, strings of onions and garlic, herbs tied in bunches, and women sorting seeds into clay pots.
*A cellar dug into a hillside, filled with barrels of fermenting cabbage, crocks of pickled carrots, hanging dried fish, and shelves of glass and ceramic jars glowing with preserved fruits in syrup.
*A sunlit stone kitchen with a central hearth, women and children peeling tubers and packing them into salt-lined barrels, while a dog naps near baskets of rosemary and turnips.
*An underground root cellar aglow with lanterns, showing rows of tubers in straw nests, bunches of dried lavender and fennel hanging from rafters, and barrels of fermented agave mash.
*A smokehouse with lines of drying meats, peppers, and fruit slices, oakwood smoke curling through sunbeams, while aproned workers turn racks and tend low fires.
*A preservation workday inside a communal longhouse, with large vats of boiling jam, pickling jars, drying herbs on string lines, and singers chanting softly over their work.
*A thatch-roofed outdoor kitchen shaded by avocado trees, with wood-fired stoves, stone mortars grinding spices, and big earthen pots bubbling with stew for long-term storage.
*A spring preparation day where dried seeds are sorted and tested, with labeled baskets, clay tablets with planting notes, and herbalists rubbing dried leaves between their fingers for scent and potency.
*A festival preservation day, where men and women laugh over giant bowls of preserved figs and olives, wrapping and labeling them for trade while children chase chickens through the yard.
*A quiet winter kitchen scene, where smoked meats hang near the fire, crocks of fermented vegetables line the walls, and an old woman stirs a slow-cooking broth from roots, dried greens, and herbs from the store.
