Beginning Backpack [Farming]

The hot season is coming imminently, looking up, it is full of green colors, the blue sky has no clouds, the scorching sun scorches the ground scorching hot, even the weeds can't stand the high temperature, and quietly roll up their leaves.

The heat at noon made people sleepy, but the tribe members only rested for a short while, then put on their bamboo hats and continued to work.

As if to prove that a catastrophe is approaching, the climate in Linshanyuan became abnormal.

In the heat that is different from previous years, the waters in various places have shrunk sharply, and the water level of the big river on the east side of the valley has dropped a lot. Fortunately, the stream flowing through the valley is still in good condition and can provide daily water for the tribe members.

Shen Huaijin took out the peach blossoms that had been sun-dried a few days ago, brewed barrels of salted flower tea and sent them to everyone, in case of lack of water and heatstroke during high-temperature work.

After just a while of sharing the tea, he couldn't help opening his neckline to breathe, frowning as he watched the air near the ground burn into hot waves.

"It's been really hot this year."

Li took the water glass, didn't care about the taste, and took two or three mouthfuls, wiped his forehead with a sweat towel, and agreed: "This hot season comes very early, and it's really uncomfortable to work under such a big sun. "

Under Shen Huaijin's repeated persuasion, the orcs all put on sackcloth to work, even so, their exposed skin was also tanned.

Building a city wall is no easy task, not to mention that the Dahe Tribe is sparsely populated and can only rely on the only labor force to fight.Thinking of this, Shen Huaijin couldn't wait for the sacred beast tree to bear fruit.

Li poured another big glass of water and drank it all. "Actually, it's okay just to build the city wall. It's really troublesome to go out to carry the stone materials halfway. It's a waste of time and drags down our progress."

Shen Huaijin sighed, "The sub-beasts are tired enough just to move the ones in the valley."

He has helped along, even if everyone learned to use round wooden sticks to carry, the hard work is obvious to all.Besides, the sub-beasts in the valley are also responsible for collection and various work in the valley, and there is no extra time and energy.

"If only there were beasts to carry it."

Shen Huaijin chuckled lightly, and tapped his forehead, "" I knew it was a fool's dream.In this weather, the wild beasts are too busy to take care of themselves, how can they come to help us? "

The fingertips are hot to the touch, even if the orcs are born with body heat, this is indeed a suffering.

In this situation, there are not many foods that can relieve the heat. Shen Huaijin has accumulated a lot of saltpeter that can be used to make ice, but the heat conductivity of pottery is not good. After thinking for a long time, he decided to make an iron pot, which can be used for cooking and ice making.

Shen Huaijin had been silent before, but this time when he asked for it, the base immediately made a round iron piece for him and sent it over.

The diameter of the round iron piece is about half a meter, and there is a rectangular iron piece attached to it as a handle buckle.

Shen Huaijin burned the hardwood pier into a suitable base shape, lit the stove in the shed, first burned the rectangular iron piece red, hammered it into a ring-shaped handle buckle, and then put the round iron piece red and put it on the base on, and hammer a little bit until dented.

Even with the roof as a shade, he was still sweating profusely from the heat, and his arms became sore and limp under the constant hammering.

At night, Li Hui would take his place. The orc in the sleeveless sackcloth was half exposed, with smooth body lines and strong muscles during his movements.

The stove was full of fire, and there was a constant ding-ding sound. After tens of thousands of hammers, the iron pot had a basic shape, and the depth was suitable.

The hammer print was clearly visible, and Shen Huaijin continued to stack it until the bottom of the pot became relatively smooth, like a bright mirror.

After a few days, the iron pot is considered complete at this time, but it needs to be boiled before it can be officially used.

He rinsed it with stream water, put it on the stove and dried it over a low heat, then took a piece of animal oil and wiped the iron pan repeatedly so that the inner wall of the pan was soaked in fat.

After wiping it repeatedly three or four times, you can turn off the fire and let the grease continue to stand for about two hours.When you need to use it, just wash it with water.

With the iron pot in hand, Shen Huaijin couldn't wait to try it out.

He simply scrambled a bird's egg in an iron pan.

The thermal conductivity of the iron pot is much better than that of slate and pottery. Within 2 minutes of turning on the fire, pour the beaten eggs into the pot, and the egg liquid will immediately swell and swell, and you can flick it with long chopsticks. out of shape.

Shen Huaijin sprinkled some scallions in it and took it out of the pan. When he ate the fragrant and tender scrambled eggs, he recalled that he spent a lot of time preheating the slate and hurriedly cooking on the hot slate in order to stir-fry. Embarrassed, there is only one word in my heart.

value!

For the sake of convenience, everyone now generally gathers for dinner. Shen Huaijin, holding a new pot and saltpetre, went to the square to make ice with great anticipation.

He also generously gave away a lot of dried chilies for everyone to cook hot and sour noodles.

Although it is easier to feel hot when eating spicy food, spicy food can also help dissipate heat in the body. The hot and sour powder has a strong taste and can stimulate appetite. It is also suitable to eat now.

Under the guidance of Shen Huaijin, everyone gradually got started, and the cooked hot and sour noodles were brought out in bowls.

The bright and plump sweet potato noodles are nestled in the bright red and oily soup, and on top of it are two plants of green leaves scalded in hot water, four or five slices of golden pickled young ginger and a few spoonfuls of white diced radish.

Especially with the hot aroma, it makes people salivate.

The orcs, who were tired all day under the scorching sun, didn't think they could eat anymore, but when they smelled this smell, their stomachs growled.

Everyone looked at each other, and after three seconds of silence, they rushed forward, wanting to get the first bowl of hot and sour noodles.

"Everyone, don't rush, there is a lot of preparation!" Shen Huaijin shouted helplessly.

Only then did everyone calm down. Realizing their gaffe, they all blushed in embarrassment.

Li Zao quickly won two bowls with quick hands, and dragged Shen Huaijin aside to enjoy them slowly.

Shen Huaijin twisted the chopsticks, and the plump vermicelli was fed into the mouth with soup and spicy oil, and it was smooth and bouncy to chew.The taste of sour and spicy splashes on the tip of the tongue, stimulating the taste buds.

The soup is oily but not greasy, and after just one sip, it refreshes the internal organs.Shen Huaijin felt that the sweat all over his body was stimulated by this blow, and he couldn't help sniffing, but the more he ate, the more he wanted to eat.

The same is true for the orcs and sub-beasts on them. While being so hot that they couldn't help but make a "hissing" sound, they sucked powder and refused to stop, and praised them from time to time.

In addition to hot and sour noodles, everyone also made a lot of meat to supplement energy.

When everyone was almost finished eating, Shen Huaijin took out the iron pot and said that he would make ice water to relieve the heat.

Everyone expressed their disbelief one after another, laughing and laughing, "Jin, the ice cubes will melt as soon as the water season comes, let alone when the hot season is so hot."

Shen Huaijin had a good relationship with him, and when she heard the words, she made a gesture to beat him, which made the latter sit back in fright, and everyone laughed loudly.

Shen Huaijin didn't care about his teasing.He put the iron pot half filled with cold water into a big pottery pot, put raw nitrate in the big pot, and then poured water into the big pot

When nitric acid dissolves in water, it absorbs heat, and the temperature drops. After a while, the originally transparent water condenses into a white solid, exuding curls of smoke.

The night wind was blowing, and the smoke was blown away, and the orcs with keen senses immediately felt the temperature drop of the air around the iron pot.

The people who were still laughing fell silent, Qi's face was full of surprise, "This, this, this is ice?!"

This moment broke the silence. Everyone stood or squatted, marveling at the pot of ice, and curiously reached out to explore it, but Shen Huaijin slapped it back before touching it.

"Don't touch it, it's for eating."

Shen Huaijin used a clean chisel to chisel half of the pot of ice into small ice cubes, and made lemon ice water for everyone to drink.

Since everyone had just eaten hot food not long ago, he only put a small piece of ice in each glass of water to prevent the alternation of hot and cold from irritating the stomach.Even so, everyone was shocked when they tasted the cool lemonade.

"Jin, how did you do this?"

Everyone discussed and asked questions out of curiosity.

Shen Huaijin briefly recounted the principle to everyone, but everyone didn't understand much, but it is true that they felt refreshed after drinking the cool lemonade.

Li knew that the saltpeter was not easy to come by, and also knew that Shen Huaijin had other uses, so he leaned next to Shen Huaijin and asked in a low voice, "Jin, are the remaining saltpetres enough?"

"It's okay." Shen Huaijin beat back, "The saltpeter won't disappear after being dissolved in water. I can crystallize the saltpeter and reuse it."

"That's it." Li was relieved, picked up tons of lemonade and drank it down, he let out a long sigh, "It's really refreshing, if only I could stockpile all the ice in the cold season and use it in the hot season."

Isn't that the ice cellar?Shen Huaijin rode the evening wind, thinking about the future, with a smile on her face.

"there will be chances in the future."
