Rebirth in Another World: Beginning of the Orcs

Chapter 24:

Lixia made tofu as she wished, and made all kinds of tofu dishes that could be made one by one. Although the taste was badly out of shape due to the lack of raw materials, it still couldn't reduce Lixia's enthusiasm for making tofu.The few people who made friends with Li Xia benefited accordingly, and then ate tofu to their satisfaction.

Two months passed in eating and drinking.There is still one month to go before the rainy season, the weather is not good, and the public fields do not need to go because of the rain, and the females stay at home and do not come out.Orcs still have a hard time hunting their prey in the heavy rain. Ernst doesn't go out hunting, so it's not easy to take the meat when dividing the meat. Most of the meat he brings back is big bones with meat. For this, he feels very sorry for himself. My friend, Li Xia didn't think much of it. Eating meat every day is a savage. Eating ribs and drinking bone soup is the best choice, which is nourishing and calcium.

Ernst's injured leg ached from the weather and the humidity.The wound site was red and swollen, and I could only spend most of the day on the bed.The family work fell on Lixia, which made Ernst very guilty, and secretly lamented that he had become Lixia's drag.His idea aroused Lixia's strong dissatisfaction.

"Ernst, if it's me who is lying on the bed and can't move, will you despise me?"

"Of course not, you are my partner and I will always take care of you."

"That's it. Like you said, we are partners. In my hometown, when couples are married, they will swear to each other, 'I want to promise you that from today onwards, whether it's good times or bad times, rich or poor , health or disease, I will always love and cherish you. I promise I will always be faithful to you, until death do us part.' You should take care of me, so shouldn't I take care of you in turn? The so-called A good couple should support each other, instead of one person blindly giving while the other takes it with peace of mind."

"Li Xia..." Ernst wanted to say something, but Li Xia covered his mouth with his hands, and could only grab Li Xia's waist and hug him tightly.The chin rests on the top of Lixia's hair, and the aroma of blue fruit rippling in the nose.Ernst raised Lixia's chin so that his face was directed at him, two small portraits were clearly printed in Lixia's black eyes, Ernst looked at Lixia fixedly, and solemnly took what Lixia said just now in his heart I read it silently. 'I would like to promise you that starting today, no matter whether it is good or bad, rich or poor, healthy or sick, I will always love and cherish you.I promise I will be true to you forever, until death do us part. '

In Lixia's view, the so-called housework is actually cooking, washing dishes, and tidying up the room, which is nothing at all.Seeing Ernst's uncomfortable appearance every day, Li Xia was very distressed, so he didn't talk about it during the day, but every night, Ernst didn't make a sound no matter how much his legs hurt in order not to disturb his sleep, and his whole body trembled from the pain.It's not that Li Xia doesn't know about it, he just didn't say it.I can only help Ernst add an extra fur quilt to cover him at night, and help him massage his legs frequently during the day.

They lived in an adobe house. It had been raining for so long, and the walls were cold to the touch. There was a layer of moss growing on the base of the walls, which could not stop the moisture at all.And I don't know if it's an illusion, Li Xia looked at the lines on the walls of the house, as if they didn't exist when he first came here.This had to make Lixia doubt the strength of the house.I still remember that when I was a child, a child from an aunt’s family I knew was shot to death by a damp wall that collapsed.It seems that he should discuss it with the pottery orcs in the tribe after the rainy season is over. Although he doesn't know how to make a kiln, the orcs here can make pottery. Are the bricks still far away?At that time, bricks will be produced to build a few rooms first, and then a kang or something, so that the house can keep warm no matter the rainy or snowy season, and Ernst's legs will not hurt as much as now.

Lixia was stewing fish head tofu soup that day, and Subi came here with a worried expression on his face.

When it comes to fish head tofu soup, fish hooks have to be mentioned.So Lixia once again paid homage to the "China Tour" column of China Central Television, and this program has almost become an encyclopedia in Lixia's mind.

Fishing nets do not know how to weave, and even if they are weaved, they cannot cast the net.But this is not a problem, the straight hook will help you solve the fishing problem.Lixia, who was watching TV at the time, even sighed, and this will come in handy.

The straight hook, also known as "boron hook", is commonly known as "clip". According to legend, it was invented by Jiang Taigong Lu Shang. Taigong used boron hooks for fishing in Weishui. It was called straight hook at that time.That's it.

At the fishing hook making site.It can be seen that the raw materials they use are small bamboo branches.When making, use a special card knife to cut the bamboo twigs into two pointed bamboo needles. When fishing, bend the straight hooks of the bamboo needles to form a "U" shape, and put a cooking sun on the U-shaped pointed end. After soaking a small section of reed tube, tie a fishing line between the corners of the U-shaped fishing hook.Put bait such as germinated grains in the reed tube, so that when the fish eat the bait, they will take off the reed cover, and the reed tube will be bitten. The ear-covering force bounces back to its original shape, so that the fish's mouth and gills can be firmly stuck and become its prey.

With a hook, we can fish for fun, but what about fishing?That's it: hang countless straight hooks on a bamboo pole and place it beside the boat at night, and the fishermen will get a big harvest the next morning.

In the lake to the west of the tribe, there are fish and reeds, and the bamboo needles for making straight hooks have also found substitutes with similar materials.Coupled with the fishing line made by Domi Tengsi, catching fish is not easy.When Mo Linda knew that Li Xia was going to catch fish to eat, he laughed at Li Xia fiercely. It was extremely difficult to catch, and it was hard to catch, with thorns all over its body, and it was not fishy. No one likes to eat it.But when Li Xia successfully made a fish feast, he was the one who ate the most viciously.

Subi took off the raincoat made of Banzilong leather, shook the water drops on it and hung under the shed, and then took a big sip of the water that Li Xia poured for him.The warm water went down the throat to moisten the internal organs, and the cold hands gradually warmed up because of the bowl in their hands.

"Lixia, the walls of my house are all cracked." Soapy was worried. Although he was a little dazed, it didn't mean he didn't know anything and didn't think about anything. "This year's rain is too heavy. Although it was said to be the rainy season before, there were still two cloudy days out of ten. But this year, if you look at it, the rain hasn't stopped."

When I think of my own house, Subi, I want to have a bowl of 'Nei Niu Man Mian'.At the beginning, the roof leaked, and Wag braved the heavy rain to help him repair the roof, but then the wall cracked again.His stone bed was placed next to the wall, and Zheng Xiang, who was sleeping in the middle of the night last night, was woken up by something falling from the sky all over his face. He opened it up with the light of the embers in the house and saw, oh my god, the room A large piece of the wall skin below the connection between the roof and the wall peeled off, and the wall cracked a finger-wide crack from top to bottom.Soapy's drowsiness was immediately startled. Thanks to the dirt that fell on his face, if the wall fell, he would have to be crushed to death.Soapy waited until dawn with staring eyes. Although the rainy season was not cold, the cold air seeping from the crack in the wall still made the room extremely humid in just one night. The fire in the room seemed to have lost its effect. Small drops of water condensed.

Li Xia was also thinking after listening to Su Bi's shocking words.Originally, he thought that it should rain all the time during the rainy season, but only now did he realize that this was not the case.That's right, if it rains all the time during the rainy season, the roots of the vegetables grown in the public fields will be rotted by the water.Li Xia's eyes glanced at the few rows of boji vegetables in his yard. Although they were wilting, they were not so dead that they couldn't survive. This was thanks to the fact that they were produced in another world, and their vitality was so tenacious.

Lixia didn't have any extra houses here, so he suggested that Subi first live in Molinda's house. After all, Subi's house is now a dilapidated house, and it may collapse at any time.

Subi thought about it, too. Morinda lived alone without a pair. Because he is a doctor, there are spare rooms for patients in the house, so he can just live there when he goes.Thinking of this, I put my heart back into my stomach, and my face looked better.And the result of this relaxation is that all five senses are back.

Soapy stared at the clay pots on the stove, his stomach rumbling. He had been nervous all night last night, but he was very hungry now. "Li Xia, did you stew fish soup?" Soapy sniffed, and then wiped his mouth that seemed to be dripping.

Li Xia couldn't help laughing at his greedy appearance, and stretched out his hand to rub the top of Soapy's head.I saw Wag touching Soapy's head all day long, and now I do it myself, um, it really feels good.

Lixia baked pancakes, fried a pot of shredded pork and mushrooms with the meat Subi brought along with the mushrooms and green peppers in the space, and fried two sun-dried eggs for everyone.After re-setting the fire with corncobs produced by three spaces, he went into the house to help Ernst come out for dinner.Although it is warmer inside the house than outside, it is still necessary to come out to breathe fresh air in good time.

The fish head tofu soup on the stove had been served long ago, and Li Xia served a bowl for each of the three, and sprinkled some chopped celery leaves on top of each bowl.This soup is light and clear. The fish soup has become milky white and thick because of the long-term stewing. The meat on the fish head will fall off the fish bone with homemade chopsticks. Tofu is originally made of soybeans. Yes, so although it is tender, it is still slightly yellow, but this tofu is absolutely natural and pollution-free. This will make the tofu absorb the umami taste of the fish in the fish soup, and the taste is rich and mellow.It is said to be fish head tofu soup, but the fish is not wasted in Lixia. They are all deboned, chopped and boiled into fish balls in the soup. This is much more convenient than eating fish directly, and there is no need to pick thorns. joyous.

People in the Celestial Dynasty are very good at eating. Lixia does not cook the same food. Every time, he cooks it in a different way. The corn that has been brushed with oil on the stove is also sizzling. Lixia sprinkles salt and chili noodles on it. , the three happily chewed the delicious grilled corn, and wiped out the dishes on the table with a mouthful of vegetables, cakes, and soup. Everyone ate a round belly.
