[Crossing the Farm] The witch doctor rises up

Chapter 56 Winter Clothing and Winemaking

When Wu Di ate enough of his lover's tofu and Gong came out, Ji was already sewing clothes outside——Ji had a woman before, and although Gong's mother died, Ji never thought about looking for another woman.After all, as the patriarch, if his partner can't take care of the whole family, he might as well not look for him.Because of this, I have to do things like mending clothes and cooking by myself.

Fortunately, all single men in the tribe are like this.

It should be said that in the Youhe tribe, men are more "omnipotent" than women. Only after they are married, men don't have to worry about such things as cooking and laundry, and can barely "turn over to serfs and sing".

The monkey couldn't go "wild" outside because of the rain. At this time, he was sitting obediently not far away and sorting the herbs that Wu Di had dried.

"Are you up? There is hot soup and taro on the stove." Since it rained, the tribe has not practiced collective big pot meals - after all, it is raining outside, and it is impossible to set up a stove outside for cooking.

But for the people in the tribe, compared to the past when they could only eat some raw meat and fruits after it rained, now they can eat hot food and sleep in a warm kang bed at night, which is already a very happy day.No one would complain about such little things as having to cook for themselves.

"Father, let me help you." Wu Di asked Gong to sit in the main room (each room was separated by a space of about ten square meters), while he went to serve food on the stove.Gong was a little bored sitting there, so he leaned over to Ji's side.

Not long ago, Gong finally let go of the knot in his heart. In private, he no longer called Ji "patriarch" but "father". .

"It's okay, you need to rest more, I can still do this." Because of the rain, there is no organized hunting in the tribe, and Ji is usually busy, and feels suffocated when he is free, so Just find something to do.

"What are you going to do?" Wu Di came over with hot soup and taro—because there is a lot of taro, the tribe has gradually regarded taro as a staple food, and meat has really become a "dish".

"Make clothes, it's cold in winter, we can't dress like we are now." Gong is also used to Wu Ding's saying of "spring, summer, autumn and winter".

"You eat first." Wu Di peeled a taro and dipped it in some salt and handed it to Gong-in fact, it tastes better if dipped in sugar, but Wu Di didn't find sugarcane, let alone that kind of white sugar-and put the hot The soup was served in front of Gong, and he ate the taro in two mouthfuls, then poured down a bowl of soup in two mouthfuls, and then turned to look at Ji.

After filling his stomach, Gong also brought out a bunch of animal skins and prepared to sew them.Wu Di is a bit struggling to sew a hole, let alone making animal skins into clothes, which requires more technical content.

But he looked at the collection for a while, and saw something tricky: "This skirt... er, clothes, just like this, isn't it empty in the middle?"

They usually wear short animal skin skirts, and Wu Di used cloth to make a few pairs of panties for him and Gong, but he didn’t think there was anything wrong with them, but now he looks at the hip-wrapped skirts worn by modern women...or in other words It's something similar to a long skirt, Wu Di ORZ - isn't it cold to wear it in winter?Are there any leggings, pantyhose, etc., unless you are lying motionless on the bed wearing them, you will definitely get wind from below when you walk.

"But there is no way... Ah, speaking of it, Wu Di, you looked warm in the way you were dressed at first..." Gong Zheng was about to cut the animal skin with a stone knife, when he heard Wu Di say this, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration .

"Well, you're right, wait a minute." Wu Di went back to the house and took out his pair of pants and long sleeves from his backpack.After sorting the herbs, the monkey also ran here to sweep the ground, and Wu Di spread out the clothes and pants directly.

"Just like this, if you make pants, it won't blow the wind. Even if the legs of the pants are a little fat, just tie them with a rope at the bottom of the pants." Of course, it's best if the size is right .

When it comes to winter trousers, Wu Di will inevitably think of those fat cotton trousers in the past.Although it does not look very good-looking, but the ability to keep warm is first-class.

Hearing Wu Di's list of the benefits of this kind of pants, Gong and Ji were very moved.

Speaking of it, although they will wear more and longer clothes during the winter, because the animal skin itself is not close to the body, and basically what is worn on the lower body is a surrounding animal skin, so it is not very cold. .

"We can sew like this, so that the furs of the two layers of animal skins face each other, so that we don't have to worry about the hairs on the animal skins rubbing against the skin, and we don't have to worry about the hairs on the outer sides getting wet and dirty, and it's much warmer this way. Already." After studying how to make Wu Di's pants out of animal skins, Gong suggested enthusiastically.

"Gong, you are so smart!" Wu Di only thought about how to stuff cotton into the animal skin, but forgot that the animal skin itself had soft animal hair.It's just that because animal skin is more irritating than human skin, I never thought of turning the animal skin over.

"I just saw that doing this can save a lot of animal skins, so I thought about how to use these animal skins..." Gong still felt a little embarrassed to be praised by his lover in front of his father.

"Indeed, if we followed our previous method, the animal skins would not keep warm, and we would usually continue to tie the animal skins on our bodies. All in all, the animal skins are actually wasted. In this way, not only can the The animal skin is used to the maximum extent, and the animal skin with its fur turned inside can resist the invasion of cold wind..." Ji Yue said his eyes became brighter, "Wu Di, Gong, you are willing to teach this method to others. Anyone else in the tribe?"

Although Ji is the patriarch, he is also Gong's father.

Wu Di looked at Gong, and handed over the matter to Gong.Receiving Wu Di's gaze, Gong nodded: "Of course, this should be shared with everyone." In this way, if you dress warmly, everyone has a greater chance of surviving.

"Brother Wu Di, Brother Gong~" Hou Zi, because Gong is only a few years older than him, will only call Gong "Brother" when he asks for help, "I want to learn too~"

When he has learned it, he can make one for himself, or one for...

"Monkeys don't need to learn, I'll do it for you." For monkeys, Gong actually cares about them as little brothers.

"Hey, I don't want it anymore, brother Wu Di will be jealous," the monkey whispered into Gong's ear for the last sentence, and then jumped away, looking at Wu Di with a flattering expression, "I Absolutely not eating his tofu", "I can't keep asking you to make it for me in the future, right? That's too tiring."

What the monkey is wearing now is made by Gong.Because the monkey is still young, there is nothing wrong with it, but the monkey who thinks he has moved towards a mature man (?) is unwilling to let other people's partners make clothes for him.

Looking at the monkey's appearance, Gong raised his eyebrows and shook his head: "Okay then, I'll get you a bone needle, and you follow suit."

Seeing that the three of them were starting to work, Wu Di, the "sewing waste", couldn't help himself, so he sat down with the pineapple and clay pots - he also had something to do.

******

What Wu Di has to do is actually brewing wine.

Ever since the last unbrewed pineapple wine was eaten and drunk by the people in the tribe, Wu Di has been thinking about making wine.

Originally, Wu Di wanted to come with everyone in the tribe, but because of the heavy rain, it was inconvenient to visit without rain gear, so Wu Di could only do it by himself.

Because there are not many pineapples in stock—most of them are used to make dried pineapple—and because it takes a long time to make wine from pineapple successfully, so Wu Di chose pineapple honey wine, which is easier to make.

Speaking of pineapple honey wine, it is not because Wu Di simply wanted to replace pineapple with jackfruit, but it already exists.

Wu Di once went to Xuwen County in Leizhou Peninsula, and it was at that time that he had more knowledge about jackfruit.The famous Xuwenye in Xuwen County is pineapple honey wine. It is delicious and warms the stomach. It is most suitable for drinking when the weather is cold.

Wu Di didn’t make pineapple honey wine at the beginning because honey was necessary to make it, but at that time, the honey in the tribe was only exchanged from the bear tribe, and Wu Di was very reluctant—he wanted to brew it respectfully water to drink.

Although Gong likes the sweetness of honey water very much, but knowing that the honey has other uses besides being soaked in water, he kept putting the honey on.

Wu Di couldn’t persuade him, so he had to use it to make pineapple wine in the end—well, after making it, he should save some for himself, and Gong will drink it every day. It will warm his stomach and drive away the cold, and he can drink it. Ho Ho~

Fruit wine is very simple and easy to make, and Wu Di has made pineapple wine before, so this time the action is faster.

It's just that after making the pineapple honey wine, there are a lot of pits peeled out of the pineapple honey.

"Brother Wu Di, this can be used as a pebble!" the monkey said quickly, afraid that Wu Di would throw away the fruit core just like that.

Because Wu Di once saw that there were few games played by children in the tribe, he taught the children the most popular "pinball" game in his childhood.

The children felt that it was too troublesome to find those round stones, and they were not enough, so they played with the pits left over from eating jackfruit as "marbles".

Seeing so many fruit pits, the monkey remembered that he had lost a lot of shrinking fruit pits to everyone because of his poor craftsmanship, and couldn't help but his eyes sparkled—if these pits were all his own, wow haha, then he was a tribe There are the most "marbles" in it!

"Play? What are you playing, this is edible." Wu Di mercilessly broke the monkey's expectations.

Although the monkey was a little disappointed because these fruit cores could not belong to him, he became energetic again after hearing Wu Di's words: "Eat? How to eat?" The fruit cores are hard and greasy on the outside. Outside of playing, neither rabbits nor cattle and sheep are eaten.However, since Brother Wu Di said so, he must have a solution!In this regard, the monkey blindly believed.

"Just wash it and boil it with water. You can add some salt. After it's cooked, peel off the shell and eat the meat inside. It's better than chestnuts... sweet potatoes? Peanuts? Taro? It's even more powdery than taro." Wu Dilian said a few times It was a metaphor, so that everyone could understand the taste——ah, it’s a pity to spend the winter without finding any chestnuts.

"There are so many fruit pits, I think we can eat this instead of taro at noon. After I put these jars away, cut the herbs and grind them, I will cook for everyone .”

Although Wu Di is indeed a waste material in sewing clothes, he still has "virtuous skills" that he can show.

It is also necessary to cook the husband at home and show a little hand in front of the father-in-law.
