Self-clothing and adequate food and clothing through crossing

Due to the above reasons, the overall speed of harvesting rice and wheat this time is more than a star and a half faster than last year. Although the total area has more than doubled, the time spent in the end is not much longer. Back and forth It only took six more days.This can be regarded as a leap forward.But it made everyone very happy. Originally, everyone was worried about whether so much rice and wheat could be completed before the cold season came.

The most two types of food have been safely returned to the warehouse, and there are only some small things left. There are still about 20 days before the cold season, and there are many things that can be done. The clansmen who have no worries about the future have brighter smiles on their faces.Shang Chen wanted to make some agricultural tools in the cold season, so after two days of rest, everyone started cutting wood, one for furniture and the other for daily use in the cold season. This time, the main things to be done were sofas, waterwheels, and windmills. The rest is up to you. Shang Chen’s family plans to make some cabinets for cotton-padded clothes and quilts, some wooden drying racks for drying clothes, and a few sets of tables and chairs for entertainment such as playing chess and cards.

After the logging is over, the black kernel grass will be harvested in the second season. Except for the patrolling orcs, all the others have gone out to hunt. The black kernel grass is completed by a group of men and disabled orcs. After harvesting, the black kernel grass will be divided directly. After arriving at each household, the weaving is left to each household to do by itself.

After that, I went to the seaside and those mountain depressions again, and picked up a large number of eggs, and each family got a lot of them. I also got a lot of shrimp from the seaside, and I can make a lot of MSG and shrimp balls.There are also mochi, taro, ginger, onion and garlic on the side of the tribe, which are also returned to the warehouse one by one.

The cold season is getting closer and closer, and there are still a few days left. The weather is getting colder and colder, and the orcs have never stopped hunting. With the usual storage of offal and bacon, Shang Chen’s basement is already full of meat. , The kitchen is also covered with bacon.

The sun was not gloomy today. Everyone got up early in the morning to make breakfast. After the meal, the orcs continued to hunt, leaving only a dozen orcs and men with fishing nets to go straight to another river a little further away from the tribe to fish.Followed by a group of children and old people, big and small, the pots, barrels, and fish baskets in their hands ping-pang.

This year's fishing is the same as in previous years, the difference is that in the third net, a few huge monsters - soft-shelled turtles and turtles - were caught.

Now everyone’s first reaction to something they don’t know is “is this for food”?So when the long fishing net was pulled up, everyone rushed forward as usual, but... why are there a few black shells?

"What is this? It's a hard, black shell, ah...does this thing have legs? What is it?" A voice yelled in surprise.

"Really, look, look, the head came out, Shang Chen?" Then another voice called out.

"Wow... four legs, why does it look like an animal? But why is it in the water?" Swipe it, and it attracted many people to take a look and discuss it.

"Let me take a look...hehe..." Shang Chen was a little far away just now, and he heard everyone yelling here, and when he rushed over to take a look, he realized that several turtles and soft-shelled turtles were caught in fishing nets The smallest one was probably as big as a football, and the largest one was even as big as a washbasin.He grabbed the big guy on the ground whose limbs and head had been shrunk back in, and said to everyone with a chuckle: "These two things are a kind of amphibious reptile, this one is called a tortoise, and the bigger and flatter big guy is called a tortoise. Soft-shelled turtle is an omnivorous animal that mainly eats meat. It feeds on worms, snails, shrimps and small fish, and also eats the stems and leaves of plants. It has very high nutritional value and is very nourishing for those who are very weak. effect, but there is no doubt about eating more for a longer period of time.”

"...Is this big guy with a hard shell really edible? Is this hard shell very nutritious? How can you eat such a thing?" Jin Xia looked at it over and over for a long time with a soft-shelled turtle in his hand. , when Shang Chen said it was edible, he opened his eyes wide and glared at the soft-shelled turtle's small sesame-sized eyes, and couldn't help asking.

"That's right, is this shell chewable?" Another man asked strangely after touching the turtle's shell.

···· Shang Chen was speechless for a while, the corners of his mouth twitched and he shook his head and said, "Don't worry, we mainly eat what's inside their shells, but don't expect a lot of meat, the main reason is that it has high nutritional value and is used for stewing The soup is very good, you can add some mushrooms, chicken or tendon meat to it.”

"Oh... so, it doesn't look like much meat, probably not enough for an orc to eat."

"Yeah, then leave it to the elders, let's continue fishing."

"Okay, let the elders share it with those in poor health."

Because there were only five tortoises and soft-shelled turtles in total, everyone voluntarily handed over to the public without much discussion, and soon devoted themselves to vigorous fishing operations.But I know that these two things are nourishing things, and I can take them back and eat them when I encounter them in the future.In fact, Shang Chen thought it was a bit strange, it is difficult to pull up soft-shelled turtles and turtles with fishing nets, and I don’t know if it’s because of the large size of these turtles or the relationship between the climate and the environment here.

The fishing that lasted for five days was finally over. Shang Chen’s family got hundreds of catties of fish and a lot of shrimps. This year’s small fish and shrimps didn’t even waste a bit, because everyone already knew that fried small fish Shrimp tastes good, and it is very tasty for children to chew on it.

The food given to Baokang’s family this year is enough for him and his father, but Baokang and his father are still very frugal, and these days they are still with the adults every day. Although there is a lot of oil this year, there is no need to worry about lack of food. But Baokang and the other poor children still picked up a lot of fish oil and fish offal and went home. Baokang said that he likes to eat fish offal, and his father also likes to eat it. In the cold season, put some fish offal in the pot with other vegetables Stewed, it's really delicious.

Shang Chen believes that, after all, he has eaten it before, especially for those who have been hungry, it is more precious, and it is considered lucky to eat some.After a year of recuperation, not only Baokang and his father's health have improved a lot, but also the rest of the people have also improved a lot. Finally, they don't have to worry all the time. Everyone is very happy about this.

Especially Baokang's father is already able to do some simple and easy daily things at home. Finally, there is no need for Baokang to do everything. He only needs to take a short break in the morning. This is already a great thing Yes, I have been helping the tribe at home since then, but I can't go out yet.

A few more days went by, and the temperature became colder and colder. They could only go out with a thick plush leather coat. Even so, the tribe still had to work today, digging lotus roots in the water.The orcs are still hunting. Due to the addition of the sword and the seven heads and the further development of the selective hunting mode, none of the orcs hunting after a period of time suffered serious injuries, and all of them were minor injuries that would not cause disability.

Facing this joyful and weeping result, all the families were secretly happy and thanked the gods and beasts for their gifts. It is estimated that this year's sacrificial activities will be more cautious than last year.Although only Shang Chen and Long Che knew that the iron tools were not gifts from the gods and beasts at all, they still sincerely thanked the gods and beasts for their protection.

This time digging lotus roots, many men went down, so to speak, except those who are very weak and old and really can’t dig lotus roots in the water in such a cold day, the rest all went down, including those Boys in their 20s with orcs and disabled orcs.Therefore, one can imagine how lively the water was, chirping and chatting while digging, and never heard anyone call it cold. In autumn, winter and this summer, we went down early in the morning, leaving Shang Chen alone and his pregnant fathers staring at the river. One by one was dug out and the lotus roots were envious.

Shang Chen felt that he would never have a chance to go into the water in his life. Not to mention losing the negotiation with Long Che last night, Long Che took the opportunity to toss and turn on the bed and rolled the sheets in five positions for half the night. It's much better, but I can't stand Long Che's desperation.After waking up this morning, when Shang Chen felt that the parts all over his body were still intact, he was very thankful. As a result, Shang Chen felt a little sore and weak when he was squatting here. Long Che wouldn't go down even if he promised Shang Chen, he really couldn't bear it.It's fine if you don't go down, why do you want to do it to death?It seems that he should be smarter not to mention this matter in the future, otherwise he would not know what to do when Long Che took the opportunity, it really made him feel fishy without eating the mutton.

Daddy's belly is already very big, hanging on his body like a big watermelon, Shang Chen was terrified to see him, he guarded Daddy for a moment and did not dare to relax, but Daddy comforted Shang Chen not to worry, saying that he was fine, The body is great, and the baby in the womb is also fine.Indeed, Daddy's state can only be described in four words - he is full of energy. Of course, the state of all the pregnant women in the tribe is more than a star and a half better than before. All of them have big stomachs and they act very quickly.

The patriarch said that there are more people who are pregnant this year than before, and some of them are partners who have not heard from them for decades. There should be nothing else except for the elderly or sick people whose bodies have reached the point of exhaustion.

Dad knew that Shang Chen wanted to go on, but there was no need to discuss this matter, let alone Long Che not agreeing, even if Long Che agreed to himself and his partner, he would not agree.Except for matters related to Shang Chen's health, he and his partner will never say anything else, and will depend on the child for everything, except this.

Because every time I and my partner think about the two days and two nights when Shang Chen was in a coma, lying on the bed like a dead person with a pale face and cold body, for a moment, I really thought that the child had just left like this. My heart still throbs with pain, and I don't know how I survived those two days. I and my partner can't bear the unforgettable pain and despair no matter what.

Therefore, she will never agree to Shang Chen's request, no matter what the reason is, as long as the child can live by her side alive and kicking like now, really, really, I and my partner have nothing else to ask for.Fortunately, Shang Chen is very obedient and never self-willed. Although he really wants to go on, he still stays with him very obediently and stares at his belly. Such a good child is the pride of himself and his partner, and he can't wait to praise him Care in the palm of your hand.

Although he didn't go down to help, Shang Chen didn't just waste time by the river. In the morning, he and his fathers helped to bundle the lotus roots they had dug up into a big bundle, and then he went back and forth with a pole Picking and sending back to the tribe, he didn't relax at all.Originally, both Shang Chen's father and Qiu Dong's father wanted to pick him, but Shang Chen was terrified. In the end, Shang Chen could only confront the two fathers with a white face for a while before letting them go. Let go of this horrible thought.
