famine queen

Chapter 14
"The birds of prey come from the grasslands in the west." Qingsui said to Jin Mang while picking up the prey: "The terrain of the grasslands is relatively high, and the rain and floods have little impact on them, but because of the climate, the life there is also very difficult." It will not be particularly easy. Moreover, the lions on the grassland are in groups, and the raptors can hardly take advantage of it. There is a big swamp between the grassland and Mangchuanling, and the rain and flood will wash away the fish and shrimp in the big swamp. Come here, at this time of year, they will come to Mangchuanling to pick up bargains."

After a pause, Qingsui said: "But now, when the dry season officially arrives and the migration starts, the weather will get hotter and hotter, and the birds will not be able to take care of themselves."

"Why?" Jin Mang was a little puzzled.

She has a friend who likes to raise birds. She has heard some related knowledge sporadically. It is said that the body temperature of birds is 40 degrees, so even 30 degrees is not a high temperature for them.

From this point of view, birds should have an advantage in the dry season.

"Because there is a plague during the dry season, which only poultry will get." After a pause, she said: "After the severe annual division season, I hardly see any poultry."

Jin Mang blinked, this is...bird flu?

"What about us? What do we have... the plague?" She couldn't help asking.

Now, Qingsui was silent for a while, and then said: "The plague of poultry will break out every split season. As for the plague that we will get, there are many. However, the plague that we will get is not every season. Every split season will break out, and some plagues are easier to heal."

Jinmang was speechless, but she understood that there was no specific classification and name for the plague at all when co-authoring Anze, all plagues were lumped together.

As for the treatment method... She felt that she couldn't count on it either.Qingfeng Qingsui didn't know to debride the wound when she was injured, Qingfeng actually used a torch to burn the wound.Although it also had something to do with not being able to gather herbs at the time, but...Jin Mang was desperate for An Ze's treatment anyway.

But she herself is also a layman in this area, except for bone setting and basic dressing, she is not much better than Qingfeng Qingsui.

No, Qing Feng's bone-setting skills may not be worse than hers.

Even if Qingsui said so, the existence of those birds still annoyed Jin Mang very much.

Because the cave where they live is very high, so far, the flood has never spread to their home.

Rain floods come and go, and sometimes when the flood subsides, Jinmang and Qingsui can still pick a lot of mushrooms in the forest.She also took her parents to dig potatoes, sweet potatoes and yams, which are at least more filling than mushrooms.

I thought Qingfeng and Qingsui, the two carnivores, wouldn't care, but they were pleasantly surprised by this.

"Mangmang, why didn't you say it earlier? These potatoes, sweet potatoes and yams are all soaked." Qingsui didn't pay attention to these before, so she followed Jinmang to address them.

Qing Feng nodded, "If you pick them before the rainy season, you will definitely be able to pick more."

Jin Mang said helplessly: "Although these things are better stored, they are not indestructible. For example, potatoes are poisonous when they germinate, and sweet potatoes and yams will rot if they are kept long."

In fact, it is best to process these into non-staple foods, such as potato flour and dried potatoes.

Qingsui also thought about it, she frowned and said, "Can these be dried like mushrooms?"

"Sweet potatoes and yams... baked and then dried, so they can be stored for a longer time." Jin Mang said.

In fact, it should be steamed, but now they don't have the conditions for steaming.

In her previous life, Jin Mang ran a bakery supermarket and was a somewhat famous food blogger.It's not that she likes cooking food so much. In fact, she likes eating more than cooking. It's a bit of a coincidence that she will take this road.

She started by opening a bakery supermarket on the Internet, so as to sell goods live on major platforms.Because what I sell are some baking and cooking materials, tools and molds, it is inevitable to exchange some production experience with fans. Later, I started to record food videos at the begging of fans. Unexpectedly, the response is good, and the business of the store is getting better and better. , due to the needs of fans, she continues to improve herself.In the end, by accident, he became a well-known food blogger, and even taught several paid online classes.

Later, the business grew bigger and bigger, and she gained a lot of fame in City A, and her bakery supermarket was able to open a physical store.

In terms of majors, Jinmang is definitely not as good as those Chinese and Western pastry chefs and chefs with various senior titles and advanced diplomas, but she is good at learning from others, and she knows a little bit of everything, which is enough for most fans.

Jinmang's knowledge is more complicated. She is not a professional cooker. Compared with orthodox cuisine and dim sum, she knows more about DIY food.

After all, many fans who like baking and cooking will end up with a mentality of "wanting to do everything by themselves". Therefore, Jinmang has studied many dishes similar to homemade sausage, homemade bacon, homemade sweet and sour garlic, homemade butter, homemade whipped cream, homemade Topics like cream cheese.

She even made her own without added MSG.

Things like potato flour, dried sweet potatoes and dried yams are not a problem.

Thinking about it this way, Jin Mang suddenly had a little confidence in himself. After losing his strength due to age, he didn't seem to be useless?
Qingfeng and Qingsui were extremely excited, taking advantage of the next rainstorm, they went out again with Jinmang.

"Where are we going?" Jin Mang was a little puzzled.

She felt that there was something wrong with the couple's expressions, anyway, it was different from the way they used to go hunting.

"Go to your grandma and the others." Qingsui said excitedly: "Mangmang, the potatoes, sweet potatoes and yams you found are all good things, we have to tell them as soon as possible. This way, everyone can prepare more food when they migrate."

Jin Mang was stunned, she didn't expect her parents to attach so much importance to this matter, but... She has always had a doubt.

"Even if we have stored a lot of food, we can't bring too much on the way, right?" After all, things have to be carried by manpower. Although carrying stored food can fill the stomach, it will also increase physical exertion.

Besides, without tools, with their hands alone, the food they can carry is limited, right?

"You'll know when the time comes." Qingsui didn't tell her the answer directly, but smiled mysteriously.

Jin Mang felt that there was a bit of complacency and pride in her eyes.

Their family's territory is not yet bordered by other members of the tribe, so they need to pass through the territory of other ferocious beasts along the way, and the danger is bound to be not small.

Especially... According to Qing Feng, they had to pass through the territory of the same clan this time.And judging by his expression, those two fellow clansmen might not be so easy to deal with.

It's just that when Jin Mang asked, he just shook his head and didn't say the specific situation.
