Rebirth in Another World: Beginning of the Orcs

Chapter 29:

"Ernst, you're back."

When Li Xia was cooking, he looked up and saw his partner coming in front of him with things on his back. He naturally opened his arms and threw himself into his arms for a hug, and helped him unload the things on his body.A basket full of mushrooms was casually placed on the counter in the kitchen, and Li Xia planned to save some fresh ones to eat and dry them all in the sun.

He was about to take the string of corn cobs from Ernst's hand, but he didn't want to be dragged back into his arms by Ernst.Li Xia raised his head to take a look, Ernst took advantage of the situation and lifted Li Xia's chin and leaned over to imprint his lips on Xiao Xiang's long-awaited rosy lips.The nimble tongue penetrated into the opponent's mouth and turned it over, which made Li Xia nestle in Ernst's arms and blushed with a pretty face. .

Ernst looked at his partner's blushing earlobe and couldn't help but feel happy from the bottom of his heart, and then sent a few light kisses on the other's cheek.At this moment, Yadi on Lixia's back had let go of the black hair he had been playing with before, and turned to look at Ernst with a pair of big and bright green eyes, with a vague expression in his mouth. Shouting "Apa Apa", that little chubby hand pointed directly at the corn in Ernst's hand, with the intention of looking at and touching it. Coupled with that incomparably flattering little chubby face, it was so pleasing feel.

"Yardi, let's go to the living room to play, don't interfere with mom and dad's cooking, okay?" Ernst untied the animal hide that bound Yadi, put him on his neck and handed him a smaller corn cob Give it to him, Yadi immediately became excited, yelling Ula Ula in his mouth, as if he was the king who was going to conquer all directions, riding on Ernst's shoulder with his little fat buttocks twisting non-stop. "Lixia, the corn on the mountain won't be harvested until a few days later. Wager and the others will come to our house in a while. Make some corn for them to taste." Ernst said as he walked towards the living room, not forgetting to hold on to the two Kicking fat legs keep Yardy from falling.

"Okay." Watching the two father and son walk out of the kitchen, Li Xia turned around and continued with his cooking plan.

Before Lixia, I washed the vegetables and prepared to make cucumbers. Now that I want to make corn, I might as well make a plate of stir-fried corn.Li Xia took the corn on the cob from the table, plucked off the beards and put them in a pile. Don't underestimate the brown beards. Patients with nephritis can reduce urine protein by drinking water boiled from corn silks.The leaves wrapped around the corn can’t be thrown away even if they are torn off. Li Xia casually throws them in the corner of the courtyard. They can be used to light the fire in the snow season after drying.

Li Xia used a shell knife to cut off the fresh corn kernels from the cob, washed and drained, and threw the corncobs directly to the gulu bird to eat.Take some wood ear mushrooms, wash and cut into pieces, and the meat on the table is also cut into dices the size of corn kernels.The steamed and stewed steamed buns and jars of braised pork on the stove were put aside by Lixia Duan to keep the lids covered, and on the two stoves side by side were set up flat pottery pots for cooking and oil-coated pots inserted on wooden sticks. corn on the cob.

Hot pot with cold oil and Lixia first slide and fry the diced meat in a pottery basin, put the oil in again and heat it up, then add the corn kernels, and then add the easy-to-explode fungus and diced cucumber and diced mushrooms when it is almost cooked , and finally add the smooth diced meat, stir fry a few times quickly, put sugar and salt out of the pan.

Seeing that there is still some time, Lixia quickly made a panboji vegetable mixed with sea rice, added salt, minced ginger, mixed with soy sauce and diluted lemon juice, it was still very refreshing as a cold dish.The corn on the cob roasting on the fire also gave off an aroma at this time. Lixia sprinkled chili powder and salt and poured some oil on it. The corn on the cob made a sizzling sound, and the smell became stronger.

Molinda and the others spent all day eating at Ernst's house, and they were very good at eating. Just as Li Xia put the prepared dishes and chopsticks on the table, one by one outside the door stepped on the meal time and wandered in leisurely.

"Haha, Subi, now I finally know the benefits of living next door to Lixia's house, as long as I can smell the fragrance every day, there is a table full of food waiting for us." Morinda went to the food as soon as she entered the door By the way, I picked up a chopstick of braised pork and put it in my mouth. "Li Xia, this braised pork is getting better and better." Immediately when he looked up, he saw a small fat face glaring at him with an angry look.

Yadi is so angry, he was the first to catch the fat but not greasy piece of braised pork that was rosy, smooth and steaming.Uncle Molinda is really bad, there are so many next to it, why choose the biggest one.snort!I stare.The more Yadi thought about it, the more sad he became, and the little fat hand pointing at Molinda kept shaking, as if he had been hit so hard.

Molinda is so smart that she doesn't know what Yadi is thinking.He intentionally smacked his mouth even more fiercely, and even leaned in front of Yadi and said, "This piece of meat is really delicious".Yadi was indignant, he was still young, and his existing vocabulary was not enough for him to attack the other party. Coupled with the rule that females are the most precious and cannot be bullied in the life of the orcs, Yadi couldn't utter a word when he opened and closed his mouth. In the end, he turned over and lay back in Ernst's arms, hugging his neck and crying loudly, with tears and snot flowing from his nose.That posture does not shake the house down and does not look back.

"I said Mo Linda, can you not make my son cry every time you come here?" Li Xia was speechless. Among them, Mo Linda has the ability to make Yadi cry every time, not for grabbing food It's just to scare them with some strange things, and it's also called exercising the firm will of the orcs since childhood.Turning his head to look at the little chubby man who was holding his father's neck and kicking his legs and howling, Lixia sighed and could only carry the child out to clean up, and he had to clean up the mess caused by Molinda in the end.Oops, no matter how important this child is, he really can't hold it.

A group of people gathered around the dining table and moved their chopsticks together, while Yadi was being held on Lixia's lap and fed the roasted corn.Yadi opened his mouth and gnawed two rows of small teeth marks on the corn cob, chewing and twitching at the same time, Li Xia was terrified to see him, afraid that he would choke and suck the corn kernels into the trachea.He had been provoked to cry once just now, and this time he could only comfort him with nice words, Li Xia kept patting Yadi on the back to give him comfort.

Wagga and the others came here for the corn. The stir-fried corn and grilled corn on the dining table had already attracted most of their attention. They didn't pay much attention to the fact that Yadi was made to cry. .Although Yadi is small, he is an orc after all. He has a solid skin, and usually people don't spoil him so much.On the contrary, Soapy watched the child cry and sob and stretched out his hands to caress the top of Yadi's head to show comfort.

No one here has eaten roasted corn except Soapy, and this meeting is being enjoyed by each of them.It is indeed an edible food. It is crispy on the outside and full of elasticity on the inside. The combination of light sweetness and seasoning is really delicious.The plate of fried corn with diced cucumber is also refreshing and delicious.It is often eaten with steamed buns and braised pork. The only difference is that the meat tastes more fragrant today.

"This corn is delicious. Our tribe will have a lot of corn to eat when the ones in the forest are harvested." Wag said something pertinent, and Buck on the side also nodded in agreement.

"Lixia will definitely use corn to make other food, and I will teach you how to make it after the corn is harvested."

"We have corn, wheat and rice in the snow season this year, so we don't have to worry about going hungry."

Molinda ate by herself and handed a piece of meat to Yadi's mouth.Yadi looked at the meat on the chopsticks, um, it was bigger than the one in the picture just now.He looked up again at Molinda who was sitting across the table with an apologetic smile on his face, forget it, let him forgive him reluctantly.Yadi opened his mouth wide and ate the meat in one bite.In this way, a new round of crying and forgiveness ended perfectly.

Ernst ate quickly, and took Yadi from Lixia's arms as soon as his stomach was full.Seeing that my partner was finally able to free up his hands to eat, he went on to feed the little chubby pier on his lap.

"Corn can be freshly eaten. It can be ground with a stone mill. The fine powder can be steamed like flour to make steamed buns and pancakes. The coarser one can be made into porridge." Seeing the excitement of several people, Li Xia interjected, waiting for everyone's attention It was all projected on him before continuing. "When we talk about harvest, we have to mention planting. Just like bok choy and pok choy, the wheat, rice, and corn we eat now must be planted. If we don't plant them, what will we eat next year after eating them this year? Now This season is suitable for planting wheat and rice, and corn can also be planted in the dry season next year. Since we found these in the forest, it means that there must be more in the surrounding areas, and we can look for them when the tribe goes out hunting.”

Speaking of farming, Li Xia has been thinking about it for a day or two. He has the space to eat and drink without worrying about it, but a tribe cannot survive with just a little food.After eating all these things now, I still have to go back to the old days in the coming year.When wheat was harvested before, it was estimated that it should be winter wheat according to the time. Planting it in the next dry season is just right, and you can try planting it in the last dry season, so that the harvest in two seasons a year is very large.Rice has been briefly introduced in previous textbooks when it introduced the father of hybrid rice. In some places, it is even planted in three seasons a year. If that is the case, it should be able to be planted in this season.Corn and so on probably also belong to spring sowing.

Whether it can be successfully planted or not, you still have to try it first anyway. If it really fails, there is still room to produce this back road, so it seems that the loss is not too big.Now the houses in the tribe are almost built, and the land can free up manpower, and it doesn't need to be too big for experiments. As for fertilization and so on, hey, all the toilets that have fallen can supply pure natural fertilizers.

Li Xia told a few people what he had been pondering for a long time, and Wa Ge, the candidate for the patriarch, listened very carefully.Not only accepted Lixia's suggestion, but also raised many new questions, such as how to choose land and how to plant.Lixia, a city kid, used to buy and eat. Even if there is land in the space, how to plant it is limited to plowing, sowing, planting, watering, fertilizing, weeding and pest control. In the end, it is less understandable than this group of orcs. Where to go, it is rice, Lixia knows that the seedlings should be raised first, and then thrown into the paddy field for planting.Lixia, who has used soybeans to grow bean sprouts, said that raising seedlings is as simple as growing bean sprouts. It is OK to spread seeds and cover with thin soil to maintain temperature and humidity. (It's really not that far from not knowing.)

After a meal, Wagger, who was eager to report farming matters to the patriarch, returned home with Subi, who wanted to show his future in-laws how to cook. Molinda was also taken out after being thanked by Wagger.
