Chapter 45 Getting Ready for Winter

Sun Zhixin's thinking is actually very simple. To sum it up, one is to keep out the cold, and the other is to eat. Everything revolves around these two points.

Flax must be harvested, whether it is spun into linen thread, woven into linen cloth, and finally made into clothing, it is of great use.Although the effect of sackcloth itself against the cold is not very good, it is better than nothing.Wearing it inside and covering it with animal skins outside, the effect of the combination of the two to keep out the cold is not comparable to the one plus one effect of animal skins and sackcloth alone, it is much stronger than that.

Equipped with a blow dart in hand, everyone has the ability to hunt small prey, no matter what is flying in the sky, running on the ground, or swimming in the water, as long as they can be used, they will all be shot as food without discussion.

As for the problem of the cave for the winter, it is even more important.There are too many things to know about it, such as its location, whether it is safe, whether it can have defenses, whether it is in danger of collapse, how many people it can accommodate, whether there is a water source nearby, how to transport the stored food, including the arrival of winter How to keep the severe cold out of the cave, etc., there are too many details to figure out, it is not as simple as a group of people rushing into the cave and staying there for a winter.

And the last supplementary order is to discover useful new things.After all, Sun Zhixin is only one person, so it is impossible to have such a strong energy to keep doing exploration work.The advantage of this arrangement is that everyone is regarded as one's own eyes, and the scope of control will be expanded to wherever everyone's steps are involved.Sun Zhixin could hardly wait to see Zu Quan asking him about something he didn't know.

It can be said that Zigli's actions were swift, and the whole clan was quickly mobilized, and everyone who had the ability to work was working.

For now, work is mostly focused on acquisition.The picked fruits and rhizomes, which are not easy to preserve, are used to replace meat, and the meat is preserved and stored for winter.

The whole family searched in the woods and found several places where taro was grown.Except for some taro seeds, all the taro were dug up and piled into the storage pit that Sun Zhixin asked someone to dig out temporarily.

Throughout the morning, a steady stream of mushrooms, bamboo tubes, bamboo shoots, and taro have been transported to the camp.The restless ones in the camp were digging storage pits, but no one was idle.Led by Buku, the children all went to look for flax. When they found it, they collected part of the flaxseed, and the other part was scattered on the spot according to Sun Zhixin's plan, hoping to regenerate next year, and the flax was brought back as a whole.

The whole morning passed like this. At noon, Sun Zhixin broke the convention and let the clansmen have a lunch with food that was not easy to preserve, so as to replenish their energy for consumption.For this practice that broke the convention, Sun Zhixin approached Auric and explained the usefulness of lunch in earnest.What is gratifying is that Aurik is always old, but he is not old and stubborn. He is very happy to welcome changes.His concept of getting rid of the old and welcoming the new makes Sun Zhixin very happy. If modern bureaucrats are as open-minded as Auric to welcome positive changes, wouldn't the world be a better place?So Sun Zhixin began to like this gloomy little old man. Of course, he also ate very deliciously at lunch... Sun Zhixin felt that he could accept his own changes, which was indisputable.

During the meal, Sun Zhixin explained how to refine the salt, and then talked about the skills of marinating meat.Cured meat is very simple. One is to infiltrate the meat with salt to preserve it, and the other is to dry and dehydrate it. Everyone can learn it at once. As for how to comprehend how to make cured meat taste better, you need to study it yourself.

In the afternoon, we continued to explore the forest. In addition to those found in the morning, we also found several edible wild vegetables.Sun Zhixin couldn't think of a better way to store them for a while, so he just picked some casually and planned to change his appetite at night, and left the rest untouched.

When the hunter came back at night, the No. [-] storage pit was half filled, and the No. [-] storage pit was still being dug.

Thanks to the help of the new weapon blowing darts, the successive hunters had a rich harvest, and Subaru was very proud when they walked back to the camp with their prey.Especially today, with the return of the patriarch Nalu, and the chief of the Sea Breeze Tribe, Tiger, led four people to join the hunter group, which greatly increased the hunter group, and the harvest was even more than usual.

It's just that when I came back today, I found that no clansmen came to greet and cheer as usual, but everyone was busy, doing the same or different things, and even the children were turning flax by the river.The whole camp crowd was running like a group of hardworking ants.

"What happened?" Naru asked.

Sun Zhixin came up to him and said: "Store for the winter. You hunters are busy for the source of food, and we naturally have to do other things well. Don't worry about it. Since you have sent Zigli to cooperate with me in winter preparations, you can hunt with peace of mind, tribe." I'm here for other things. Go, go! Go to the river to wash up, take Ogg to rest for a while, and eat dinner together when I make dinner."

Sun Zhixin is straightforward, he says whatever comes to his mind, and he doesn't realize that his reaction is like a virtuous and good husband at home. Comfortable slippers—if there were one, maybe Sun Zhixin would really do it.

Listening to Sun Zhixin's words, Naru couldn't help smiling, and looked at Sun Zhixin and the busy camp with satisfaction.After working hard all day, it feels so good to have someone you can rely on when you come back, who will prepare dinner and wait for you to eat together. It makes people feel warm and soft.

"I'm not tired. You're really capable!" Naru praised, and said, "What have you prepared? Take me to see." He was actually very tired, but he just wanted to see, not only To understand the situation, it is even more important to use actions to support Sun Zhixin's efforts.

Tiger glanced at Sun Zhixin, still a little embarrassed by what happened last night.Immediately after hearing the casual and intimate conversation between Sun Zhixin and Naru, I couldn't help feeling sour for a while, and looked at Sun Zhixin to see something else.

Seeing Tiger was still feeling a little upset, Sun Zhixin ignored him, and led Nalu to look at Storage Pit No. [-], where there were piles of taro, dried mushrooms that had been dried a while ago, and prepared blood sausage.Tiger followed with a cheeky face, and the thickness of his cheeky skin was indeed of titanium alloy level.

"Use this to store the prepared food first, and then send it to the cave mentioned by Tiger." Sun Zhixin said: "The prepared food is easy to be destroyed outside, and the storage pit is a good place for temporary storage." choose."

The two studied the storage pit carefully for a while, and both agreed that this was a good idea.Obviously, food that has been processed by drying or other methods and can be stored needs to be collected in such a place.

Originally, he planned not to deal with Tiger, and asked Zigli to ask for someone from Tiger, but Tiger was standing in front of him now, so there was no need to torment the hard-working Zigley.Sun Zhixin looked at Tiger: "I need someone who knows the way to the cave. You give me one, and after a while I will be ready, and I plan to set off with Zigli to find out the cave."

Nalu instinctively opened his mouth to object, and Sun Zhixin said: "This matter must be done well, otherwise winter will come and I may be caught off guard. You think everyone doesn't understand anything, just kill them and live there? It's not that serious It's simple. And with Zigley, a hunter who is familiar with the wild, you don't have to worry about my safety. The more important groves have almost been excavated, and there are only so many resources, and we still lack a lot of food and tools for the winter, so we must Set your sights further afield."

"But..." Naru is still hesitating. It's not that he underestimated Sun Zhixin, but because of the instinct of caring. After he likes someone, he can't help but want to cover him under his wings, and take any ups and downs. blocked out.

Sun Zhixin squinted at him: "Can you hide me in the camp forever? The outside world is indeed dangerous, but it is really vast, there are too many things waiting to be discovered, and too many opportunities waiting Get caught. You can’t survive this winter just relying on what is in front of you. Starve to death, or take risks to find opportunities, Naru, you will understand the difference.”

Tiger said softly: "It's not good to stay in one place forever, I agree with Sun Zhixin's idea."

Some unexpected support made Sun Zhixin couldn't help but glance at him, and Tiger hurriedly made Sun Zhixin smile and pretend to be honest.Sun Zhixin rolled his eyes, and had to admit that Tiger was better than Naru in some respects. Like the sentence just now, it was very close to the essence of the tree moving and the dead moving. Tiger's vision is indeed farther than Naru, forever Unwilling to only guard a square inch.

Tiger's support was pertinent, and Sun Zhixin's attitude was also firm and undeniable. Naru finally reluctantly agreed, and grabbed Zigli to give him a good word. It means that Gree's last arm is discounted.

Zigli agreed bluntly, but he was noncommittal in his heart. The so-called caring would cause chaos. The patriarch underestimated Bidaraca Asu's ability.He is not a weak guy, the whole group will change because of him.

At dinner, Sun Zhixin cooked some taro. Originally, he didn't plan to use this, because taro has a long storage time and is a good food for winter.But I also thought that except for Buku who had eaten this last time in the Nalu family, no one else had tasted the taste of taro, so I cooked it.The cooking method is different this time. Instead of boiling and peeling the taro to eat, first cut the taro into pieces, put in the meat, some wild vegetables, and stew a large pot of chowder.It's delicious and filling, nothing could be better.

He also took the meat hunted by the hunter today, cut it into slices, and fried a slate of wild vegetable fried meat with wild vegetables on a slate.He now has a Swiss Army knife in his hand, which can slice the meat into thin slices, so new dishes come out.Not to mention, the wild vegetables are freshly picked, so fresh and tender.Stir-fried with sliced ​​meat, the aroma is really striking, and Sun Zhixin himself drools when he smells it.

Then there are wild vegetables, boiled with clean water, sprinkled with dried mushroom powder and squeezed ginger juice, and added with salt, it tastes crisp and refreshing, full of wild flavor, and it is also a delicious dish.

Just as he was about to serve the chowder, Tiger brought a person in to identify Sun Zhixin.

This person is a member of the Sea Breeze tribe, tall and strong, with a thick face, his name is Tarim, and he is the one who will lead Sun Zhixin to recognize the cave.

Tiger told Sun Zhixin to finish identifying the person, then turned around and left.After what happened last night, he knew that Sun Zhixin probably didn't have the slightest affection for him, and this man had an arrogant temper, just like the cheetah, the king of the jungle. He will cut his own face and stand in front of Sun Zhixin to be annoying.

Sun Zhixin sighed, his heart softened after all, and he called out, "Tiger, remember to come over for dinner later."

Tiger's footsteps paused, a happy smile that he didn't even realize was slowly floating on his face, his eyes lit up in an instant, and the uncomfortable feeling in his heart all day quickly disappeared.

"Okay!" Tiger replied, and suddenly felt the wind under his feet when he was walking.

Naturally, there was another round of looting during dinner, the discrepancy between Naru and Tiger, and the table contest continued. From the beginning to the end of the meal, the two of them never stopped. They were full of fighting spirit and momentum.Even with something in your mouth and food in your hands, you still have to use your eyes to kill the opponent, wishing to turn into a sharp knife and hack the opponent to the ground directly.Sun Zhixin has learned to be good, and he will never go into the smoke of gunpowder, lest he will be hit by a stray bullet again.

When the wild vegetables were served, everyone stared at them, not expecting that these weed-like things could be eaten.Then at the request of Sun Zhixin, I tried to eat them, and unexpectedly found that they tasted good, and there was no problem in eating them—because I didn’t expect much from these 'weeds', so I felt that they were better than I imagined. good.

It's just that compared to Sun Zhixin, the other four men are not as interested in wild vegetables as Sun Zhixin, and they are still more willing to eat meat.However, the conditions in this era are difficult, and no one can be picky eaters if they are not condoned.The original wild vegetables, due to the lack of too many seasonings, still have a slightly harsh taste or other unpleasant tastes after being cooked, but Sun Zhixin said that they can be eaten, so everyone eats them.

Like Aoge, he seems to be a master who doesn’t like eating vegetables very much, but he frowned and swallowed all the wild vegetables that Sun Zhixin distributed to him, so happy that Sun Zhixin wanted to touch him twice and praise him for being a good boy... …Buku doesn’t pick anything, but he likes to eat the cold wild vegetables, because it’s a fresh taste he’s never tasted before. Apart from being slightly astringent, it feels crispy and refreshing in his mouth. I’m looking forward to it You can still eat the next meal.Sun Zhixin thought his little black dog was the cutest, and wanted to kiss him hard.In addition, there is a thick soup made mainly of taro. Everyone likes it. It has a creamy and rich taste, and you can taste the meat in your mouth. It is really delicious.

After dinner, the four men, big and small, refused to leave, and consciously took Sun Zhixin's bamboo pot and poured water for themselves.Sun Zhixin got tangled up again, and was frustrated to find that when he made it, he only made four bamboo cups according to the habit of the original time and space. Now the four people are holding a bamboo cup, and he has no bamboo cup to take... This is called what's up?Who is the owner of this tent?

Then there is the Swiss Army Knife, except for Tiger who can hold it still, even Naru can't help expressing great enthusiasm for it, if it is not owned by Sun Zhixin, even he wants to be ashamed Pi's shot snatched.

For some reason, Tiger didn't mention the return of the Swiss army at all.Of course, Sun Zhixin would not be so stupid as to say, is it very oppressive and glorious?It's just that Naru is not stupid. I haven't seen this thing before. Tiger came and got it. Naturally, I can guess that of course he stole the person. Tiger got the thing, because the eyes of Tiger are even more uncomfortable. There was also a vague sense of crisis, and subconsciously surrounded Sun Zhixin within his own range, forcing Tiger's breath away.

The entire Swiss Army Knife is exquisite in workmanship, so complicated that Naru can't imagine, and its material is a metal he has never seen before. They don't deserve to own this thing.But Aoge and Buku have already turned red eyes with jealousy, Aoge can still control himself, and Buku has already been lying on Sun Zhixin like a pug to beg for it.

"No!" Naru pulled Buku off Sun Zhixin's body like a plaster, and said, "That's your Jima's stuff!"

"He's not sure who he belongs to yet!" Tiger said coolly with sideways eyes.While looking around Sun Zhixin's tent, he has never seen anyone who can arrange the tent in such a way that it makes people feel very comfortable, and once they stay there, they don't want to move.How can such a person let Naru go?He should follow him!

Buku tried hard to get back to Sun Zhixin, and begged: "Jima, I don't dare to take it anymore. Let me play for a while, okay? Just for a while, I promise not to break it."

Naru glared at Tiger before stopping his youngest son: "Is that something you can play with? It's something that you, Gemma, deserve to have. All the things in the entire tribe may not be as valuable as it. Don't play with it! "

Sun Zhixin had a terrible headache. These four masters refused to leave even after eating and drinking. They were all making a fuss here. Would it be more comfortable to stay in their own tent than theirs?Seeing that awkward child of Ogg staring at the Swiss Army Knife in his hand with red eyes and refusing to speak, Sun Zhixin finally softened and couldn't bear the longing in his eyes, handed him the knife, and said, "I'll lend you a knife Arrows. Return them to me when they are used up. Let’s say yes first, it’s a loan, although I hope I will give it to you.”

Ogg nodded hastily, but he didn't know how to take it.Sun Zhixin took the knife and unfolded it before handing it over. Aoge took it and cut it once, and then his eyes lit up!

Too sharp!It didn't take any effort, and there was no feeling of obstruction in the past, and the bamboo pieces were chipped off.He was so excited that he swished his hands immediately, and a sharp point could be cut out in two or three strokes.Compared with it, the stone knife is garbage that can't be more garbage!

In a moment of excitement, Aoge cut it down in a hurry, and actually made a small bundle of blow darts.It was not until there were no more materials to make in hand that he reluctantly returned the Swiss Army Knife to Sun Zhixin.And Buku took the knife carefully, and began to use it to cut the material left by Auger, being careful not to cut himself, and as if holding an artifact...
