Prehistoric Asian beasts battle the ocean

While eating hot pot, while looking at the pouring rain outside the cave, everyone accidentally drank too much. This wild wine, regardless of its sweet and sour taste, is very delicious, but the stamina is really too great. Hami today When I woke up, my whole mind was muddled and stiff.

He looked at Chiguo who was sitting at the entrance of the cave and drank wine like water, rubbed his head and said, "Drinking early in the morning, doesn't your head feel bad?"

Chiguo shook the wine-red liquid in the bamboo bowl, and said contentedly, "It's not uncomfortable, I like to drink it, it's so delicious."

"Then drink less, drinking on an empty stomach is bad for the stomach." Hami put on his clothes, listened to the patter of rain outside the cave, and folded the animal skins on the kang one by one.

The torrential rain was still falling intermittently, and Hami worried about Fujiyan for a while. He went out early in the morning and went to the pothole to see if any animals fell, but it was only for a while, after all, Fujiyan also moved in the rain He is very agile, except for very powerful top predators such as Tyrannosaurus rex, generally there are very few beasts that can hurt him, at least if he encounters it, he can fly into the clouds to avoid the attack of beasts if he cannot beat him.

The wooden door at the entrance of the cave, Chiguo has been opened, and a trace of fresh and moist air pours into the cave, which makes people feel refreshed.

Hami wrapped his clothes. After a night of heavy rain, the temperature inside and outside the cave seemed to have dropped a lot.

Since everyone drank too much wine last night, they all fell asleep while drinking. It is estimated that the kitchen is still a mess, so he ordered to go in and tidy it up so that he could make breakfast.

When he first stepped into the kitchen, he saw that the stove was completely new, and the bamboo bowls and chopsticks had been cleaned. Looking at the clean kitchen, Hami felt very beautiful in an instant.

He came to the entrance of the cave and asked Chi Guo who was sitting at the entrance of the cave watching the rain, "You woke up so early today just to clean the kitchen?"

Chiguo said nonchalantly, "No, it's incidental to tidy up the kitchen. The main reason is that I want to drink this."

Chiguo shook the wild wine in the bamboo bowl.

Hami shook his head with a smile, and said, "I see that the bamboo bowl is very clean, did you use plant ash?"

Chiguo pouted and nodded.

Hami found Chiguo's expression very interesting, and he said, "Didn't you say that plant ash is dirty? Don't let me use it to wash dishes?"

Chiguo rolled his eyes towards the sky, and said angrily, "The hot pot is delicious, but it's too difficult to clean up afterward. You don't even know how thick the oil is on the bamboo bowl. You can't wash it off with just water. Later, I really had no choice, so I spread plant ash on the bamboo bowl, and after absorbing the oil stains on the surface of the bamboo bowl, I put it in boiling water and scalded it twice before it was done."

Chi Guo sighed while talking, "I didn't do anything else this early in the morning, but I did this."

"It's very well done! It's alright, don't sigh, I'll make you a steamed pork with bitter mango and chestnut flour, I guarantee you won't be able to stop eating it."

Chiguo's eyes lit up when he heard it was delicious, and then he discussed with Hami how to make tamales with chestnuts.

"To make tamales with chestnut flour, you first need to make a bamboo steamer," Hami said.

He called Huyi and Langmu who were checking whether the bamboo house was leaking in the yard, and asked them to open the gate of the yard and go to the opposite bamboo forest to drag a few thick bamboos and bamboo shoots back.

Because the selection of bamboo for the bamboo steamer is very particular, you need to choose thick ones, and thin bamboos are easy to burst when steamed in a pot, and they are also easy to break during the process of making bamboo rings, and cannot be shaped.

Generally, it is better to put the selected bamboo for about half a month to let the bamboo evaporate the water, but now it is urgent to use, so it is not put. After the bamboo steamer is finished, steam it in the pot for several times. The moisture in the bamboo will also come out.

Tiger Wing saw the bamboo into sections according to the length drawn by Hami, then cut it from the middle, split it into bamboo strips, polished each piece of bamboo strips smoothly, and kept them for later use.

After the bamboo strips are polished, the next step is to make bamboo steamers.

The first step in making a bamboo steamer is to make an outer ring. The outer ring needs to be made of flexible and bendable yellow strips. The yellow strip is the second split strip of bamboo, and the outer ring must be polished and smooth. , Shovel off the uneven thickness with a Luoyang shovel, otherwise it will easily leak when steaming in the pot, so the food will be half-baked.

After the outer ring was made, a steamer bottom was tied with strips of strips and white silk, and two wooden boards were placed horizontally and vertically under the bottom to fix it, so that when the food was placed in the cage, the bottom of the steamer would not be damaged due to suddenly dropped the weight.

Although the bamboo steamer looks good everywhere, but after a period of use, the steamer is willing to deform, resulting in a short service life, especially the deformation of the mouth at the upper end is particularly serious, but it doesn't matter, there are many bamboos here, if it deforms, he Just do it all over again.

In this way, weaving steamers layer by layer with bamboo strips, Hami finally weaves an eight-layer steamer.

Although the steamer is tall, the diameter of the mouth of the cage is only about half a meter. If all eight steamers are steamed with chestnut flour tamales, it will be enough for everyone to eat.

Looking at the perfect finished bamboo steamer, Hami couldn't help but think of a saying that his mother often chanted when he was alive, people can't die of hunger if they have craftsmanship.

Although most of them can't be very rich, it's no problem to make ends meet and support their families.

Look, his bamboo weaving skills will come in handy.

Hami put a small potato in the bamboo steamer, and tried to steam it on the pot. When the pot was opened, he opened the lid of the steamer, and the potatoes were completely steamed, and during the steaming process, he did not find any potatoes. Air leaks.

It seems that this bamboo steamer is better than he imagined.

With the bamboo steamer, the next step is to grind chestnut powder.

Langmu and Huyi carried the stone mill in the yard into the cave, and Chiguo took the cotton fruit husks and wiped off the rainwater on the stone mill.

Hami took out the chestnuts from the earthen jar, and the orcs pulled the mill, while Chiguo and him watched the stone mill's upper plate not to fly out and the chestnuts not to jump out.

When everyone started working, they didn't care about what was not clean, so chestnut powder was all around the eyes, nose and ears, and they looked like little cats, laughing at each other.

After grinding the chestnuts into powder, Hami swept the powder into a bamboo sieve to filter out impurities, and then obtained pure and fine chestnut powder.

Hami took out a large fan of wild boar ribs and several catties of pork belly. He roasted the remaining hair on the skin of the meat, then soaked it in cold water for an hour, soaked the blood and washed it clean.

Then add some cold water that can cover the meat in the pot, add sliced ​​ginger, wild onion and a few prickly ash, cook until the meat turns white, remove the floating foam, take it out of the pot, let it cool until it is not hot, cut it into thin slices .

Then put salt, minced ginger and chopped green onion on the meat to marinate to taste. After marinating, spread a layer of bitter mango chestnuts evenly, and then take a pottery bowl, put the marinated meat wrapped in chestnut powder, piece by piece Put it under the bowl, let the skin face down, and then press it one by one to fill the bottom of the bowl.

After finishing these, Hami took out a few big potatoes, peeled them and cut them into hob pieces, put them into the earthen basin where the meat was marinated and mixed well, so that the potato pieces were evenly coated with the remaining bitter mango chestnuts Finally, spread the mixed potato cubes on the piled meat slices.

In this way, Ha coded eight sea bowls of steamed meat with bitter mango chestnut powder, then added water to the steamer, and put the packed sea bowls into the pot to steam.After steaming on high heat for about an hour, the fragrant steamed pork with bitter mango chestnut powder is ready to be cooked.

Since there is no table, there is no time to make it, and Hami does not want to eat it on the stove, so he simply spreads the banana leaves on the kang, then opens the steamer, puts the banana leaves on his hands and puts the large bowl of steamed meat, and quickly turns the bowl over Come over, put the tamales inside upside down on the banana leaves, and then sprinkle some green onion on top of the tamales for decoration.

Hami was afraid that if he only ate steamed meat with bitter mango and chestnut powder, he would get greasy. He also made a large clay pot of stir-fried bamboo shoots with chili, but there is no vinegar here. If there is vinegar, add more. The bamboo shoots are hot and sour. eat.

Hami took a deep breath, and in the afternoon, he dug a cellar first, and after storing all the potatoes, he first pickled a pot of sour bamboo shoots to eat.

Hami was thinking here, when Chiguo's fiery voice came from the other side.

"Oh, it's hot, don't grab it." Chi Guo squatted on the kang, grabbing a fluffy with one hand, wishing to slap them into meatloaf.

Hami couldn't help rubbing his forehead and smiled, "You two snacks, why don't you start eating without waiting for your orc uncle?"

Then he said to Chiguo, "Chiguo, give them something to eat first, I'll go to the entrance of the cave to see if Fujiyan is back."

As soon as Hami walked to the entrance of the cave, he saw Teng Yan coming back wet, with Wolf Eyes and Tiger Wings behind him. Because of the rain on their fur, Wolf Eyes and Tiger Wings kept shaking their fur as they walked. Shake all the rain out.

"It's just in time to come back, let's serve dinner." Hami saw that there was nothing on Tengyan, and he already guessed that there was no harvest in the pothole today.

Sure enough, the next moment he heard Tengyan say, "It rained heavily all night, the pit was filled with rainwater, and there were no prey."

Hami said, "Normally, even if there is no rain to fill the potholes, the prey will all nest in their old dens when it rains, and rarely come out, unless they are too hungry."

Hami glanced at everyone who had no harvest today and looked a little frustrated, and comforted, "This is normal, don't be depressed, you forgot? Our other three small caves are full of potatoes, even if we don't go out during the whole rainy season Hunting, those potatoes alone are enough for us to finish the snow season."

Only then did some smiles appear on everyone's faces.

"Come on, try my bitter mango chestnut flour tamales, try it, and see if you like it?"

"Eat later, here you three take this animal skin and wipe off the rainwater on your body, look at you, take a step forward, there will be a mud mark on the floor, it's so dirty." Chi Guo Muttering, since the bamboo floor was laid in the cave, her favorite thing to do is to wipe the floor clean. At this time, seeing that the floor was covered with mud by the three of them, she immediately couldn't see it.

***

Pieces of steaming and fragrant tamales are placed on emerald green banana leaves in bright colors, just looking at them is very appetizing.

Hami put a piece of meat in his mouth and chewed it slowly. Well, the bitter Chinese chestnut powder tastes sweet, the pork belly and pork ribs are soft and crispy, the potatoes are soft, and the meat is rich in fragrance. Every piece of meat and potatoes has warmth.

After taking a bite of crisp and tender bamboo shoots, take a bite of red and green peppers, which are spicy and spicy. As the spicy taste rolls into the intestines, the whole body immediately warms up.

This delicious meal, on the contrary, diluted the sense of loss that the orcs felt that they hadn't picked up their prey just now.

Several people sat on the kang, drinking wild wine, eating meat and chatting, planning what to do in the afternoon.

After the meal, Hami told everyone about his plan, "The potatoes can't be stored outside like this. We need to build a cellar for storing potatoes."

Everyone nodded, and Chiguo asked, "What is a cellar? What should I do?"

Hami was also a little bit embarrassed. It was okay for him to say roughly what the cellar looked like, but he couldn't tell if he wanted to go into details.

After all, he had never dug a cellar with real knives and guns.

He thought about it, and checked the information in the library of the space, but he really found a "Life and Agriculture Encyclopedia", in which he really found out how to build a cellar, and the various habits of potatoes, etc. , Hami continued to scroll down, and when he saw the critical moment, a prompt message appeared on the page, [Reminder: Since you did not purchase this book, we only provide a part of the trial, buy the whole book After the book, you can have it all. 】

Hami: "..."

Mmp, I really want to scold people what's going on.

He turned to the transaction page and glanced at the selling price of this book. It needs 45 life points. Although it is not expensive, for Hami, he is very distressed by a single life point, let alone 45, but In the end he gritted his teeth and bought it.

Hami looked through the Agricultural Encyclopedia, which is as thick as a brick, and found that most of the utensils and plants in agriculture are recorded, and the patterns are drawn in detail, such as cellars. Can be seen at a glance.

There are also several types of cellars. Hami pondered over well cellars and T-shaped cellars, and finally chose well cellars. The main reason is that well cellars are simple in structure, save materials, and are suitable for manufacturing in places with low groundwater levels and hard soil layers. .

The mountain wall where their cave is located has relatively hard soil. Hami and the orcs first dug a round well in the kitchen. The diameter of the well is about 80 cm and the depth is four to five meters. At the bottom of the well, two storage rooms of [-] to [-] square meters were dug out, one on the left and the other on the right. These two storage rooms were used to store wine, potatoes, wild ginger and wild onions and other vegetables.

After digging, all the soil inside was cleaned out, and then Hami made a bamboo ladder and placed it at the entrance of the cave, so that everyone could go back and forth into the cellar conveniently.

This collection room of seventy to eighty square meters will accommodate the potatoes in the three small holes. After the potatoes and wild ginger are put into the cellar storage room, the cave will suddenly become brighter and looser.

It was dark early on a rainy day, and after everyone finished moving the potatoes and wild ginger, it was getting dark outside.

A few bolts of lightning flashed across the air, and then Hami heard his first thunder in prehistoric times. The huge rumbling thunder brought more rain, and the raindrops hit the bamboo house with a thumping sound and fell to the ground. There were splashes of water in the cement puddles above.

Hami stood at the entrance of the cave and looked into the distance. The misty misty rain and mist covered the trees and rocks with a layer of dreamlike coat, and the mountain wall that could not be seen at a glance also flickered in the rain. Now, everything seems extremely mysterious.

He pulled in the wooden door at the entrance of the cave, closed the entrance of the cave a little to prevent the rainwater from entering the cave, and then lit three bamboo oil lamps in the cave.

In this thunderous and rainy night, the warm yellow light emitted by the bamboo oil lamps made the lights in the cave dance.

In this dim light, Hami fried a large clay pot of potato slices and fried peppers. This is a very classic dish, at least for Hami, he can eat it for a week without getting tired of it.

Then I cooked a pot of non-spicy potato shreds for the two little guys, and everyone ate their belly round, lying on the kang and chatting, and gradually fell asleep.

Before Hami fell asleep vaguely, he heard Chiguo mutter, "This is the first time she has spent the rainy season so comfortably since she grew up, so happy." ', the corners of Hami's mouth curled up, and he fell into a deep sleep.

After waking up the next day, after breakfast, the orcs had consciously fetched bamboo, and then made a big bamboo table according to the structure of Falcon, so that everyone would not have to squat next to the stove to eat up.

Then there was nothing to do, and Hami couldn't fall asleep while snoring on the kang, so he just sat up, took out all the white filaments he had collected before, and tried to make a weaving machine. The filaments are all spun into cloth.

Hami asked the orcs to scrape out a long wooden plank. On both ends of the plank, a small gap about one centimeter in length was cut at an average distance of [-] centimeters, and then two planks were cut out to heighten the entire The long wooden countertop is convenient for shuttling white filaments, and when the thread is knotted, it just gets stuck in the incision.

Hami’s too complicated loom can’t make it. Although the efficiency of this simple one is slow, it can’t go out in the rainy season, and there’s nothing to do. It’s just sitting on the hot kang, and weaving fabrics by hand is easy to pass slowly. time.

He first took a piece of white filament, and wound the white filament around each small gap, first winding a row of straight warp threads, and then winding the weft threads around the warp threads, just like this, several people weaved back and forth in different shifts for a day, Only then did we weave two pieces of white silk cloth two people tall.

The fabric is smooth and cool, and feels like silk, but now it will be a bit cold to wear it alone, so Hami decided not to make clothes, but to make this fabric into a duvet first.

Take out the bird feathers that have been cleaned before, spread the feathers on the fabric little by little, and finally cover the fabric on the feathers, and sew the four sides with bone needles and white filaments.

Such a super soft and comfortable duvet is made.

Chi Guo hugged the duvet excitedly and rolled on the kang, "Oh my God, how can this duvet be so soft and light?! It's much more comfortable than being covered with animal skins! Ah, I love this duvet!"

"Then I'll cover you with this duvet first." Hami continued to weave beside him, smiling.

"Hey don't don't, that's embarrassing, everyone made it together, how about one person building it today and another person building it tomorrow, so how about doing it in shifts?"

Hami shook his head. He really saw that Chiguo liked the duvet, but he was too embarrassed to keep it himself. He said directly, "Chiguo, if you like it, take it and cover it. Isn't it still weaving?"

Tengyan also said, "Chiguo, you and Xiaohutou can cover it."

Hearing Fujiyan's words, the little seal that was squinting and sleeping in the water basin suddenly became unwilling. It suddenly opened its big black eyes, crawled out of the water basin, and then the wet little fish The fins slapped on Fujiyan's body, his chubby little face frowned, and his expression was rather perverted, which seemed to be expressing his dissatisfaction that Fujiyan had forgotten it.

The little seal pointed to the duvet, then pointed to himself, then glanced at the little tiger's head with simple and honest round eyes, and the little fish fin slapped on the little tiger's head, as if he wanted to stay cool posture.

Hami couldn't help laughing.

The little seal is now familiar with everyone in the cave, with an air of fearlessness, it is about to ride up on Fujiyan's neck, Fujiyan puts a face on his face, and throws its small fin off his body .

Hami hugged the little seal and said, "You sleep in the water, and you don't need a duvet to keep you warm. Why are you covering it?"

The little seal pointed to the little tiger's head unconvinced. After watching it for a long time, Hami twitched his lips and said, "You mean you have the little tiger's head, and you can't lose it?"

The little seal clasped its fins around its shoulders, and nodded its head with a proud face.

Hami rubbed his forehead, what a brat, he was fighting for favors and things.

Langmu sat on the side and said quietly, "The boy is disobedient, probably because he is used to it, just give him a good beating."

The little seal instantly stretched out its fins, pointed at the wolf's eyes and began to curse.

Hami thought to himself, fortunately this little guy can't spit, otherwise who would be able to resist it.

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the little guy spraying water all over his wolf eyes.

Hami: "..."

Oh hoo, I almost forgot, although little seals can't spit, they can spray water.

Langmu wiped the water off his face, then held the little seal's neck hair expressionlessly, let its four short legs kick wildly in the air, pressed it to the side of the loom, and pulled the little seal's white The filaments are coiled on its tiny fins, allowing it to weave on the loom as warp and weft.

The wolf's eyes said gloomyly, "You perverted little temper, grind yourself up a bit, come on, work!"

The little seal didn't dare to resist the wolf's eyes, and looked at Hami for help, but Hami touched his nose, pretending to ignore it.

The little seal looked at the others again, and everyone pretended not to see it, and went about their own business, but they all stared at it secretly out of the corners of their eyes.

Seeing that there was no way to ask for help, the little seal rose up in anger, turned around and turned into a crazy weaving leopard, its two small fish fins were crackling and winding back and forth on the loom, and after a while, mosquito coils came out of its own eyes. Circled, tilted tongue and swayed left and right on the spot.

Hami picked it up and put it in his arms, tapped its moist little nose, and said dumbfoundedly, "Just knitting it twice, and you fainted?"

The little tiger also bumped its head and ran to Hami's feet, stood up straight with its two front paws lying on Hami's calf, and looked at the little seal with a worried face.

Hami patted his hairy head and said softly, "The little seal is fine, he is just fainted by the white filaments, he will be fine after a while."

Little Tiger nodded.

When the little seal regained his strength and was not dizzy, he immediately jumped to a place eight feet away from the loom. The expression he looked at the loom was more complicated than the expression he looked at at the wolf's eye Fujiyan.

It stretched out its small fins and pointed at the loom, and pointed twice, then soaked in the water basin and went to sleep, and the little tiger head was like an obsessed little dog, even if the little seal He didn't pay any attention to him, he still slowly lay down next to the little seal, stretched out a little paw, and gently stroked the little seal's hair, the little seal squinted comfortably and snored after a while.

Hami: "..."

This is like a show that suddenly ate dog food. What's going on with the operation

Hami said with emotion, the little tiger has such a small head, so he knows how to love his wife. This is really a good gene for inheriting tiger wings.

The author has something to say: Little Tiger Head: Daughter-in-law, let me squeeze your shoulders, QUQ

Little Seal: Yes.Then give you a chance to perform. (≧?≦)
