Self-clothing and adequate food and clothing through crossing

Step [-]: Cleaning Cleaning is an essential process, that is, to wash off the dust on the blank with clean water.

The seventh step: painting blanks can be properly drawn on the blanks according to their own preferences and styles to simply draw some figures or patterns of flowers and birds to make them exquisite and gorgeous.

The eighth step: perfecting the final repair and perfecting of the painted blank, and glaze with a kind of herbal juice unique to the orc land, so that the fired ceramics will be more beautiful and exquisite.

Step [-]: Kiln firing Put the formed blank into the kiln for high-temperature firing.

The eighth step: Porcelain making After several days of firing, the porcelain blanks in the kiln have become pieces of beautiful porcelain, and their true colors are slowly revealed from the opened kiln door.

After the first batch of ceramics was officially released, the ceramic firing of the tribe was considered a success. With the first batch, the next step will be much easier. The elders decided to increase their manpower and start firing a large number of jars and jars. Every household has to be assigned some pots and pans.Don't worry about the bowls, it's just for a meal, and the wooden bowls don't matter. After the jars and jars are fired, a large batch of bowls will be fired at once.

Because jars and jars are used to preserve pickles and kimchi, this matter is very important. Last year, a quarter of pickles and kimchi were spoiled, and some were even rotten and could not be eaten at all, wasting food in vain.There are more pickles and kimchi this year, so it is imperative to burn jars and jars. Shang Chen said that if some pickles and pickles go bad, you will get sick if you eat them.

A lot of ceramics can be fired at one time, so after these days of hard work, every household in the tribe basically has no shortage of daily necessities.This can be regarded as a milestone in the Beastman Continent, marking another step or even two steps forward for the civilization and wisdom of the Beastman Continent.

But iron tools are not so easy to complete. Since the nine orcs started refining iron tools, they have not done anything else, and they continue to refine iron tools every day.If it weren't for the ready-made version in the stone house and some very practical experience that can be followed, then Shang Chen believed that the refining of ironware would be slower.Now their speed is basically fast, but they still have to continue. There are still some families who have not been allocated iron tools. It is estimated that they will not stop until the rice and wheat harvests are bumper.

It has been more than a month since the pottery and ironware went back and forth, and it was already mid-July, and finally each family got a lot of various jars and jars of different sizes.There are only a series of necessary agricultural tools such as sickle, axe, saw, plow, hoe, iron shovel, iron catalpa, pole with sharp iron horns on both ends, machete, sharp and sharp knives, etc., and there is no time for the rest .These iron tools are used to prepare for the upcoming busy farming, such as rice, wheat, etc. need a lot of iron tools to be finished and returned to the warehouse as soon as possible.

With iron tools, the speed and strength of everyone's work are incomparable.For example, in the past, the orcs needed to use a lot of energy and take a long time to cut down a tree, so the hard work like cutting down trees can only be done by the orcs. Usually, men and children can only cut down a few trees. Twigs or pick up some dead branches to take home.But now there is no need to worry about this at all. The little orcs, men and even some old people in the tribe can go up the mountain to cut trees without the need for the orcs at all.

No matter how bad it is, two or three people can easily cut a big tree with a saw, and it doesn't take a lot of strength. Just hold the balance and pull the saw at both ends, and it won't take long to saw a big tree. broken.This greatly reduces the workload of the orcs, and also speeds up the life of the tribe. It can free up more time to do other things, and fundamentally solves many practical difficulties for families without orcs or with disabilities. .

During this period, the tribe's peanuts have been returned to the warehouse. The harvest is good, and the grains are plump. After drying, each family received more than 400 catties.If it is used to extract oil, more than 100 catties of oil can be extracted, but everyone does not intend to use all of it for oil extraction, because there are sesame seeds, animal oil, and fish oil, so some peanuts should be reserved for eating, but these have to wait until the work is done. Make careful plans.

Shang Chen spent the whole morning teaching everyone how to cook a few kinds of food. For the time being, he fried a few catties of peanuts to eat, fried two catties of peanuts for snacks, and specially marinated three catties of peanuts for Long Che to eat. .For some other dishes such as stewed hoofs with peanuts, Shang Chen only needs to give a little hint, and everyone can think about it for themselves. In the future, it is up to everyone to eat or extract oil.

The first season of black kernel grass has also been harvested, and seedlings four or five inches deep have grown in the second season. Shang Chen thought about making candles first, because candles need wild raw materials. Can't do it.It is not difficult to find the herbs used in weaving black porpoise, and they are available until the cold season. The fruit that grows on the top of the black pistachio is called black pomelo. It tastes sweet and crisp, but it is not big, just like a plum. , the nucleus inside is the seed.

So everyone picked all the black pome fruit back, peeled off the pulp, dried the fruit and stored it for eating. The seeds inside will be exposed to the sun for a few days and placed in a dry ceramic pot for planting in the next year, although some of them have already been black. Jencao, but it is far from enough, and we need to increase our efforts to plant it.

Cumin just matured in the past few days. After breakfast, everyone rushed to the cumin field with straw ropes and vines on their backs.The harvest of cumin is different from the rest. The whole plant is uprooted by hand, then the soil on it is shaken off, tied up, picked up and spread on the square for a day or two, until it is [-]% or [-]% dry, and then it can be detached. , the process is a bit like threshing.The cumin can be returned to the warehouse after all the ears are detached. When eating, the cumin should be crushed into powder, so that the cumin powder can be directly sprinkled on the meat when grilling.

Seven days passed after all the cumin was harvested and returned to the warehouse. Although there were not as many cumin planted as other crops, cumin was only a seasoning after all, and a little less would not have much impact. Besides, cumin is generally the largest The role is to barbecue, so the cumin distributed to every household is still enough for everyone to eat.

After trying it, everyone realized that sprinkling cumin on the meat really has a very obvious effect. The smell of roasted meat sprinkled with cumin is strong and fragrant, and it can also remove fishy smell and greasy, and make the meat more delicious and tempting. People, increase people's appetite, easy to digest and whet the appetite, and can also preserve and sterilize.This kind of meat roasted with cumin has greatly improved everyone's appetite, and made the orcs' love for meat to a new level. It is no longer the mentality that Shang Chen had to eat to fill his stomach before Shang Chen came. Yes, eat out of love.

At noon that day, because of the hot weather, when Long Che and his group of nine came back from making iron tools for lunch, they first came to the riverside and eagerly stripped off their clothes and jumped into the water to relieve the heat. Give it to your partner.Shang Chen, Qiu Dong, and this summer squatted by the river to wash their faces and hands, and then stared at Long Che and the others swimming around freely, which made Shang Chen envious and jealous. It was restrained by Long Che.After a while, Torre came up, and handed the three of them a few strings of lotus pods, and also held a long thing in his hand to show Shang Chen.

"Where did you get this? Are there any more?" Shang Chen asked with a smile as soon as he saw the things in Tuo Lei's hands.

"I met them in the middle of the river near the periphery. There are a lot of them. Can you eat them?" Although Tuo Lei was asking Shang Chen, his tone was affirmative.

"This is called chicken head lotus. It is a kind of aquatic herb that grows in water. You can cook and eat the stems inside by peeling off the outer skin, and the fruit can also be eaten as snacks. It's just a bit troublesome." This kind of chicken head lotus is in There are many lakes and rivers, and the growth is very good. Generally, they are big and there are a lot of them. In the past, they were sold on the street, and they were not cheap.

"Is it really edible? We were just guessing before, because it grew in the middle, and we didn't notice it before. I just swam far and saw that there was a lot of darkness there, so I wanted to show you." Torre said. His eyes lit up when he heard it, and he spoke excitedly.

"This kind of plant likes to grow in a large area, and the stems can be eaten raw. It tastes good when you add chili to fry it fresh. Not only can it be dried and stored, but it can also be pickled like sauerkraut and put in clay pots. When the time comes, put a little chili and stir-fry it, it will be delicious, hot and sour." Shang Chen felt that gastric juice was secreted from his mouth when he said that, his family used to be poor, and they ate most of these free wild vegetables.My mother always tried every means to make wild vegetables have a special taste as much as possible, and the whole family ate happily. I have also learned these simple methods from my childhood, and now I think about it. It is an unexpected wealth.

"Okay then, let's inform everyone at night, you can have as much as you want, it's up to you." The fathers next to them heard the conversation between the two, took the things in Shang Chen's hand and looked at them carefully, Curiously, he touched the small thorns on the top, and then peeled off the outer skin. As expected, he saw the delicate stem inside, which broke with a light pinch.He waved his hand and asked Torre to tell a few people in the river, and he was responsible for notifying the patriarch and elders of them, and just let them yell at night.

"Daddy, it's very crispy when eaten raw, try it." Shang Chen knew that Daddy wanted to eat it when he saw Daddy's eyes, and said to Daddy with a smile.

"Hey, try it." Shang Chen's father handed Qiu Dong's father a section, and he took the lead in delivering it to his mouth.

Kachachacha, the two of them chewed and ate a small piece in their hands. They opened their eyes and looked into the river, saying, "I didn't expect that this guy with thorns all over his body would taste so special? Hehe... It’s a surprise, we can eat as much as we like, and we’ll have to fry a big pot later.”

"Daddy, this stuff is better when it's marinated than fresh. It's sour and crunchy. It's very appetizing when you add a little chili, and it's also delicious when it's dried." Shang Chen himself used to rarely eat what his mother pickled. Every time I can eat an extra bowl of rice.

"Oh, that's even better. There's nothing to eat in the cold season. It's always good to marinate more, and there is no shortage." Dad touched Shang Chen's head and smiled. Not far from chili, fortunately, there has been no lack of chili since last year, and this year the planting area has been increased, because everyone has gradually fallen in love with this hot and spicy taste from the beginning, which is especially stimulating.
