Elven settlers

Chapter 65 Delicious Bacon
"ping ping"

The gray-black charcoal made a crisp sound when they collided with each other. Rock broke it hard and found that it was very hard.

"Great job oh Ruby, looks like we're going to have some delicious bacon."

The quality of the oak charcoal fired by Deluby was surprisingly good, so Rock planned to start smoking the venison immediately while it was still fresh.

He cut down a few small trees with the thickness of a wrist, and cleaned the branches from them.Every three trunks form a group, and five triangular supports are erected side by side.

Cut out several bayonets on each supporting column, and then use some slender branches to hang across it as beams, and then tie them tightly with ropes.

Arbor, Bayleaf and Dai Ruby came together curiously.

The tripod was about two meters high, and Rock made a grid with branches at a height of about ninety centimeters from the ground.

Most of the remaining frightened-horned deer meat was cut into eight centimeter-long strips by him, and they were neatly hung on the grilles of the five tripods, just enough to fill them up.

Put the branches and leaves cut off from the trunk just now on the tripod, and arrange the leaves densely to reduce the gaps.

Finally, spread the charcoal burned by Daruby on the bottom, light it, and stack the freshly cut branches on the fire.

These branches were cut by Rock from some unknown wild fruit trees, and there were some wild fruits on them.These wild fruits were not tree fruits, and they tasted very sour, so they were thrown on top of the charcoal fire, and white smoke billowed out instantly.

After walking around the tripod and finding no problems, the remaining four bacon racks did the same.

At this time, the sky was getting dark, and Rock, who had been busy all day, prepared dinner for himself and the elves, and prepared to go to bed early after eating in a hurry.

"Not good! My buckskin."

As soon as he lay down in the sleeping bag, he immediately sat up patting his head.

The frightened-horned buckskin has been soaked in the river for a whole day, so it needs to be taken out to dry quickly.

Call Bay Leaf, who is chasing Arbor's tail with De Ruby, and let him use the flash technique to go to the river with him.

At this time, the curious Deluby also followed, and the Arbo monster was lazy in the camp, greedy for the warmth of the fire.

The deerskin soaked in the water was intact, Roque heaved a sigh of relief, and spread the wet deerskin on the grass next to the camp. The next step was to wait for the sun to dry naturally.

This time Rock was finally able to lie down with peace of mind. The advantage of using charcoal to smoke meat was that he didn't have to stay there to look after the flames, so he fell asleep in a short while.

After a night of smoking, the strips of venison have turned into brown jerky.

Rock couldn't wait to take a sip. It tasted very crispy, with a compound aroma of fruit wood and bacon, full of flavor.

"Yeah?"

"Wang!"

Bayleaf and De Ruby shouted and asked eagerly, and Arbor also looked at him expectantly.

"Haha, we made it, these bacon are delicious!"

Rock announced loudly happily, and then took off the bacon from the entire grill, and distributed it to the three elves.

"We divided the bacon on this rack, and kept the remaining four racks for each meal, so that the dishes can be more varied."

The daily food in the wilderness is fried meat, roast meat and broth, and occasionally there will be some bird eggs generously contributed by Arbor and some berries to accompany the meal.

Before crossing, Rock was a carnivore, and he had to do heavy land reclamation work every day, so he could bear it for the time being, but it would definitely be better to have another delicious food.

Filling a large food bag with the leftover bacon, Rock carried the shovel and the three elves to continue digging the ditches.

"Abo monster, aim at the place where the branch is inserted."

After a busy day, Rock, Bayleaf, and Deluby stood by the river, looking nervously at the Abo monster who was ready to go.

The main irrigation canal of the entire tree orchard has been connected to the big river, and only the upstream water injection position is still blocked by a half-meter-thick earth dam.

At this moment, Arbo, who had charged three times, raised his upper body, carefully aimed at the mark made by Roque with the branch, and then suddenly shot out a thick beam of light from his mouth, and slammed heavily on the earth dam.

The soil was instantly blown away by a huge force, and the earth dam collapsed towards the direction of the river, and then was washed back by the raging river in a blink of an eye.

The water poured into the ditch, rushed forward at a high speed, and flowed unimpeded from the outlet of the ditch to the river again.

The canal that Rock dug for ten days before and after was a perfect success, with a total length of about three kilometers. It draws a smooth arc from the upper reaches of the big river in Rock's territory and then merges into the river.

The channel is in the shape of an inverted trapezoid, the water surface is one meter wide, and the water depth is one meter. The bottom of the entire channel is covered with a layer of gravel.

Because of this layer of gravel, the water in the canal quickly became clear after being washed for a while.

With this main canal, Rock can plant the fruit seeds first.

Early the next morning, the sound of "bang! bang!" felling trees sounded on the hill.

In the faint morning mist, Rock rolled up the sleeves of his shirt, wielding a heavy ax with both hands.

The ax blade smashed into the thick trunk, breaking a gap.

On the other side of the tree stood the bay leaf, and after Roque pulled the ax out, he turned around and shook his head.The big scythe leaves above the head gathered together, cut into the same gap in the trunk, and expanded it.

Rock and Bay Leaf cooperated tacitly, and the ax blade and sickle leaf fell on the trunk one after another, and quickly felled a linden tree with a diameter of [-] centimeters.

At this time, the Arbo monster on the side rolled up the fallen tree with its body, and the huge force surged from its body, dragging the heavy tree trunk away.

After the trunk was dragged away, De Rubi sprayed flames on the tree stump entrenched on the ground, and the continuous fire slowly burned the tree stump to ashes.

Although Rock planned the tree orchard to the southwestern side of the hill with a gentle slope, there are still a few big trees occupying the orchard.

Fortunately, Rock currently only has [-] fruit seeds, so the needed land was quickly cleared.

He took a hoe and turned over the soil full of plant ash, and then planted a fruit seed every five meters based on the first orange fruit tree planted.

With the canal as the boundary, apples are planted on the left and oranges are planted on the right. Fifty trees form a row, and two rows are planted.Next year, if there are more fruit seeds, the land behind will be reclaimed, and then planted backwards along this arrangement.

Bayleaf is very interested in growing berries, and holds a squirrel jug with a cane whip.

Rock each planted a seed, and followed behind to water the seeds.When the kettle ran out of water, I ran to the ditch to fill it, and I never tired of it.
