Beginning Backpack [Farming]

Shen Huaijin hurried out.

Waiting at the entrance of the valley were three adult longhorns and three cubs. Two of the cubs came here for the first time and couldn't help shaking their heads and looking around with curiosity in their eyes.

The orcs at the mouth of the valley were waiting in battle. Shen Huaijin patted Li's body carefully from behind, and happily greeted the leading longhorn beast.

His eyes were pure, and his smile without a hint of gloom made it hard to be defensive. The longhorn beast on the opposite side let out a low cry, and its long nose shook, as a response to his greeting.

At this time, An also ran over with Ling Xiaobu in his arms, and the cub in his arms cried out excitedly when he saw the little beast that had recovered from its injury.

Shen Huaijin embraced Ling in her arms, and began to negotiate with the longhorn beasts.

From the back and forth communication, he gradually outlined the cause and effect of the whole thing.

The keen longhorn herd faintly sensed that a catastrophe was coming, and affected by the drought, the interior became extremely unstable.The leading female beast of the group is getting older, and the decisions made at the critical moment of life and death make the beasts disobedient. When they are on the verge of replacing the old with the new, they are attacked by wild beasts that are also desperate for survival.

As a herbivore behemoth, although the longhorn does not like to actively attack other creatures, it is powerful, so it does not suffer many injuries. It is just that they, three big and three small, were forced to separate from the group during the attack!

Because they brought a wounded little beast and were tired of dealing with the wild beasts that often came to sneak attacks, they had no chance to find their own group. Under the vague perception, the young female who was the leader of the small group hid the other The two little beasts had no choice but to seek help from the orcs.

When the injured cubs healed and they had the energy to find the group, they were sad to find that the original group had migrated away according to the decision of the leading older female.

They have been a lonely branch ever since.

Shen Huaijin remembered what Li had said before.

Longhorn herds are peaceful by nature, and dozens or hundreds of them have always gathered together to intimidate the invading beasts.Under such circumstances, it is not too strange for the leading beast to abandon only six longhorns for the sake of the overall safety of the group.

But in the same situation, three adult longhorns have no time to take care of three weak cubs.It is difficult for the longhorn beast to give birth, and the three cubs are the mother and child of the female beast. Under various entanglements, in order to continue their life, this young female beast, which has been upgraded to the leader beast, has done a good job for their small herd. A tough choice.

They are back here.

Shen Huaijin and Li Heyan looked at each other, each other's thoughts were in their eyes.

"So, why did you come back to our tribe?" he asked bluntly.

The female animal shook its nose, and the little animal that had recovered from its injury cried out excitedly.

Ling's chubby arms hugged Shen Huaijin's neck tightly, and said in a childlike voice, "Jin, beast, together! Help! Protect!"

Shen Huaijin pinched his nose, "Speak clearly."

Xiaoyuan, who was always smiling, showed a rare distressed expression. He sucked his finger and repeated with difficulty: "Together, live! Beast, help! Jin, protect!"

Shen Huaijin asked the longhorned beasts to stay outside the valley for a short period of time, allowing them to discuss before making a decision.

Unexpectedly, most of the tribe members were excited and optimistic about this matter. The premise that longhorns can communicate and the shortage of labor force made them all want to try it.

Even An, who has always been quite critical, touched his shoulder, winked and said, "Jin, did you think of this situation a long time ago?"

On the contrary, Shen Huaijin himself is still observing the matter, but the longhorn beast is waiting at Taniguchi, so there is no way to hesitate too long on this matter.Through negotiation, they settled on a compromise plan.

The three cubs can live in the valley, and the tribe provides them with food and water to protect their safety; the three adult longhorns live within the deterrent range of the orcs to ordinary beasts, and are not allowed to enter the valley without invitation.In exchange, the longhorn needs to transport resources for the tribe during the day and protect the fellow beasts.

And no matter which party is in danger, the other party needs to actively rescue.

After Shen Huaijin promised that the female beast would have enough opportunities to visit the three cubs, it agreed to the plan and found a shelter where it could see Taniguchi.The cubs were carefully placed in the valley by the tribe.

This time was different from the semi-threatened situation last time. Everyone happily chose a site for the little beasts and set up a shed, and sent tender grass to feed them. The animal rolled its proboscis into its mouth.

The members who had never been with longhorn beasts like this exclaimed again and again, even the tree that had stumbled couldn't help but try it once, and then laughed foolishly.

The three little beasts will be with everyone day and night in the future, Shen Huaijin suggested to name them according to their characteristics so that they can be distinguished.Now the crowd seemed to explode, and everyone chirped to express their opinions.

"I suggest calling them "black", "gray" and "white"? Although they are all gray, they have different shades, so it is easy to distinguish them."

"What are you talking about!" Hei yelled immediately, but was punched away by Bian Shangxi, and he shut up aggrievedly.

"Well, I agree with that too." Xiyan said with a smile, "Hei looks like Hei, and he looks dull."

"I think..." the debate continued.

"Let's do this." Shen Huaijin saw that they were getting farther and farther away, and finally made a decision, "The skin on the side with the darkest color is called dark gray; the side that we treated has the largest ears, called big ears; the other side depends on the color of the skin. The shallowest and thinnest is called Zhuang Zhuang, and I hope it can gain weight."

The three little beasts have been raised in the valley so far, and the longhorns have also carried resources for the tribe as promised, speeding up their construction of the city wall.

And Shen Huaijin was still burning bricks and tiles in the valley. After many days, although the bricks and tiles he had accumulated were not enough to build the entire courtyard, one third of them were more than enough.

After sealing the freshly fired bricks from a kiln, Shen Huaijin got up to adjust the direction of the bamboo path, and continued to add water to the rice field to keep the soil moist.

Rice has reached the filling and fruiting stage. From the flowering of the spikes to the maturity of the grains, the starch, protein and accumulated organic matter produced during this period are stored in the grains. The process of grains becoming fuller is observed from the naked eye.

In order for the rice to survive, he pours water into it during the day and drains the water out at night to help cool down the seedling field.

The weather was dry, and if it wasn't for the remaining streams and the fact that he could irrigate through bamboo paths, the rice would have been wilted and on the verge of withering.

At night, Shen Huaijin turned the route of the bamboo path and headed towards Maodou Field.

Edamame is actually a drought-tolerant crop, and is most afraid of waterlogging, but today is different from the past, and now they are in the seedling period when they cannot be short of water. Shen Huaijin still waters them once every two days. As for the drought, it will not cause too much water in the roots of edamame.

After careful irrigation, Shen Huaijin moved the bamboo path back to its original position, washed hands and feet and prepared to make dinner.

The weather is so hot, both he and Li prefer to eat lighter.

Shen Huaijin first made two portions of ginger milk with the animal milk he squeezed during the day, and soaked it in the stream water in advance, as today's dessert.

In front of the stove were piles of radishes, green grass, and a large animal leg, all distributed by the tribe and just sent over. In addition, there were some leftover taro from eating the day before.

After taking a look, he decided on the dishes for the evening, planning to make taro soup, radish stewed bone soup, and boiled green leafy grass.

Shen Huaijin took a kitchen knife that had not been used for two days, and neatly separated the flesh and bones of the beast's legs, the whole set of movements was smooth and smooth.The animal bones are cut into several sections, fried until fragrant, and then boiled together with the diced radishes.

The remaining lean meat is divided into two parts, one part is chopped into diced meat for later use, and the other part is reserved for other uses.

He washed the taro with skin, steamed it in a pot over water, rinsed the steamed taro with cold water, then peeled the skin while it was hot and ground it into mashed taro, and put it aside.

Shen Huaijin put the oil into the pan, poured in the diced meat prepared earlier in the morning and stir-fried until the aroma overflowed, then added mashed taro and stir-fried together.

When the speculation was in full swing, Li came back.Shen Huaijin didn't have time to turn around to say hello, but said loudly: "Wash your hands quickly, and come cook with me."

"Hey!" came a reply from behind.Not long after, Li walked up to him, and made scorched green leaves according to Shen Huaijin's instructions.

Shen Huaijin shook the pot, added boiling water, reduced the heat and simmered until the soup became somewhat thick.He added an appropriate amount of salt and fish sauce, and then poured water starch to make the soup thicker.

After boiling, the taro soup can be taken out of the pan, sprinkle with chopped green onion and serve.

On the other side, Li Ye cooked the green leaves on the plate with hot soup.

After bringing the taro soup, boiled green grass and radish bone soup that had been stewed for a long time to the stone table, the two sat down together.

Li separated the cleaned bowls and chopsticks, leaned over and kissed each other's forehead.

"Jin, thank you for your hard work."

Shen Huaijin took his generous hand, which was thickened with many calluses due to days of hard work, and he pressed the rough palm to his face, his eyes full of distress, "You too."

After finishing speaking, he straightened his face again, feeling a little uncomfortable, "Hurry up and eat."

The taro soup is smooth and delicious, and the soup is rich; the boiled green grass is bright green in color, crisp and delicious; the stewed radish bone soup is delicious and sweet, which makes people have endless aftertastes.

The dishes on the table were simple and unpretentious, and there was a curl of smoke in the twilight, and the two ate to their heart's content.

After the meal, have a bowl of cool ginger milk, and the heat and exhaustion of the whole body will be gone.

A night photo, the clouds dissipate, and there is a delicate moon shadow in the sky.The two sat under the tree facing each other, letting the evening breeze bring the fragrance of flowers and the noise from the other side.

Shen Huaijin rested her chin and looked at the smoke from the tribe's cooking, and the cubs and beasts chasing and frolicking in the square.He scooped up the smooth ginger and milk, and what he chewed was full of human fireworks.
