Beginning Backpack [Farming]

The rain fell intermittently, sometimes big and sometimes small, the sky was often overcast, and the tribe members were also detained in the valley.

Shen Huaijin never tires of it.He made tofu one by one from the remaining beans, and tried various ways to eat them in different ways all day long. He took advantage of the rainy season to give the remaining beans to his friends who had helped threshing.

As for the remaining three baskets of beans, he planned to take out one and a half baskets of brewed soybean soy sauce, and save the rest for cooking on weekdays.

The weather was clear these few days, and he got up early, went out to wash up refreshed, and thought about what to have for breakfast by the way.

Recently, there are no fresh ingredients delivered, so I can only use what I have stockpiled at home, so Shen Huaijin plans to make cold bean curd and hot and sour noodles.

The bean curds have been slowly accumulated in the past few days and dried in the shade in the shed. Now they have become hard and brittle flakes, which are very convenient for storage.It can be fried and eaten, or you can save some for hot pot in the future.

He yelled at Li, who was still sleeping late, to cook together, and the latter hugged him from behind with narrowed eyes, resting his chin on his warm and soft neck, muttering "so sleepy" in a nasal voice, like a A big dog who desperately needs comfort from its owner.

The soft silver hair brushed back and forth on the side of his neck, making Shen Huaijin feel itchy. He lowered his voice, "Why don't you go and rest for a while?"

"No." The tall orc at the back was in a daze, and said the most coquettish words in a hoarse voice when he woke up in the morning, "I want to be with you."

Shen Huaijin patted his arm around her waist, and said warmly: "Then hurry up and help, finish cooking earlier and eat earlier, and go back to sleep after eating."

"Yeah." Li straightened his body, pushed back the messy hair on his forehead, and rubbed his face violently.

The two worked together in a division of labor, and Shen Huaijin was in charge of the main cooking.

The bean curds and vermicelli were soaked in warm water, and the homemade hot pot base was also boiled in the pot. The hot smell was overflowing, and everything was going on in an orderly manner.

Cut the soaked bean skin into centimeters, drain and set aside.In a hot pan with cold oil, first sauté the onion, ginger, garlic and pepper until fragrant, then pour in the bean curd and stir-fry over high heat.The bean curd is already cooked, so you don’t need to overcook it for too long, just add the seasoning and stir well to get it out of the pot.

The vermicelli on the other end has also been boiled and taken out, immersed in the bright red soup base, and green onion, golden young ginger and snow-white diced radish are sprinkled on top, the color is attractive.

Thanks to the iron pan, Shen Huaijin fried a few poached eggs and nestled them in the hot and sour noodles.

In the middle of cooking, it started to rain again, so the two had no choice but to bring the prepared breakfast into the house to eat.Fortunately, there is no wind in the valley now, the windows of the thatched cottage can be opened wide, and the interior of the house is bright.

Shen Huaijin wrung a chopstick and inhaled the vermicelli while it was hot, feeling like chewing and springing his teeth, and it tasted sour, spicy and refreshing.The poached eggs are also a must. He loves the taste of being burnt on the outside and tender on the inside. The edges of the fried eggs are still a little crispy and soaked in the soup. Lips and teeth are fragrant.

The spicy fried bean curd looks mediocre, but it is not.Although the bean skin is thin, it tastes very chewy. The unique sweetness and fragrance of the bean ingredients also dilute the greasyness of the hot and sour powder.

There are also sweet and soft baked sweet potatoes for dessert.

The two of them ate a lot, and when they were sitting in the shed to digest their food, they saw Hei trotting over in the rain.

In just a few months, the original boy had grown into the adult in front of him. After he stood still, he looked at Shen Huaijin pitifully, as if asking for something.

This kind of expression seemed really out of harmony, Shen Huaijin couldn't bear to look directly at him, and turned his head away in disgust.

"Hei, if you have something to say, just say it." Li was also speechless.

Hei smiled shyly, muttered and hesitated to speak, and after being glared at by the silver-haired orc, he finally expressed his intentions like beans falling from a bamboo tube.

"Jin, the tribe intends to leave as soon as the rainy season is over and ask Shihuoyuan to go to the market. The leader came to me and said he wanted me to go with him, but he didn't seem to plan to take the sub-beast with him." He scratched his head embarrassingly, "So I think , Jin, can you tell the leader that you will also bring Xi with you to the market this time?"

Shen Huaijin said bluntly, "Did he ask you to intercede?"

"What?" Hei was taken aback, then slowly shook his head and said, "No, no, I just..."

"Then how do you know he wants to go?"

"Xi is very powerful..." Hei said softly. He looked at Li, trying to seek approval, "In order not to hold back, he worked much harder than us. I think he wants to be recognized by the leader and everyone just like the orcs."

The silver-haired orc didn't say a word, just watching with cold eyes.

Shen Huaijin shook her head, regretting that even Xi's best friend didn't understand him, "Xi really wants to be recognized by everyone, but it's not that he looks down on Yashou, but he doesn't want to waste his ability and everything he has learned. For going to the market, he may If you have your own ideas, you should ask him first and respect his choice."

Hei's expression was still a little ignorant, and after being punched symbolically by Li, he slapped his forehead and walked away unsteadily.

Looking at his back, Shen Huaijin sighed, "Why are these bastards so annoying. Hey... But why didn't you speak just now? I remember you often praised Xi's performance?"

Sitting on the chair, Li raised his eyes casually and said, "I'm not as naive as Hei. It doesn't matter whether Xi is an orc or a sub-beast, strong or weak, as long as his choice doesn't harm the tribe, he deserves respect."

Shen Huaijin looked at him with her chin in her hands, with a gratified smile in her eyes.

Although what Hei did was unreasonable, it also reminded Shen Huaijin that the tribe's fair was approaching. This time, everyone decided to leave as soon as the rain stopped, which meant that there were only two days left.

He was too busy to get away, and he didn't want to hold back the team, so he simply decided to ask Yan, the leader of the team, to help him find what he needed, just like last time.

This time he didn't think alone, he pulled Li together, obviously this big guy is a stickler, he thought for a long time before saying: "...er, what to eat?"

"Of course I need food, and I need to see if there is any cotton..."

Muttering to himself, Shen Huaijin drew wheat, corn, tomato, and cotton on the paper, and added secondary demand crops such as peanut, sunflower, sesame, and pepper, and gave simple text descriptions to them.Although Yan didn't have a good memory as a cub, he studied hard, and now he has learned a lot of words, so it's okay to read some simple descriptions.

The silver-haired orc was blessed and reminded: "Jin, we are going to build a house. The house I saw on the phone is very different from our thatched cottage. Would you like to see if there is anything needed to build the house? "

Shen Huaijin's eyes lit up, "Let me think about it, we burn the bricks and tiles ourselves, and we also have cement, wood and iron. By the way, glass!"

The raw materials of glass are quartz sand, limestone and soda ash. Shen Huaijin has the first two, and only soda ash is missing.However, this thing is not easy to obtain in nature. Except for specific alkali mines, only the edges of large salt lakes will precipitate a little more.

"Is there a salt lake in Shihuoyuan?" Shen Huaijin muttered, "tsk".

He rubbed the top of his black, shiny and soft hair, and analyzed carefully: "Even if Shihuoyuan doesn't have it, other tribes in the original place might take it with them to the market. It's better to let Yanbang look for it."

"you're right."

Having said that, Shen Huaijin was worried that the natives did not understand the use of soda ash and ignored it. Rather than pinning their hopes on something that may not be there, it is better to think about what products will be produced near the volcano. He propped his chin and turned his pen, "Near the volcano... There should be a lot of mines, but it’s a pity that they can’t be moved back, by the way, sulfur, let Yan help you find out if there is any sulfur you can bring back.”

"What is sulfur?" Li asked curiously.

Shen Huaijin bared her teeth and smiled, "Big killer."

The continuous rain finally stopped. In order to reduce the delay caused by accidents, the teams of the Dahe Tribe and the Dasen Tribe were about to set off.

This time, the goods that everyone brought to the market have changed, basically half cloth and half pottery.

In fact, at the beginning, the tribe planned to exchange all the cloth, so that the orcs would be safer with less burden, but Shen Huaijin vetoed it.

Firstly, the cost of linen determines its pricing and even surpasses pottery, but as a new product, it may not be easy to exchange, and secondly, a single product is easy to be lowered by smarter orcs.In the end, everyone took a compromise plan, half cloth and half pottery, which can not only test the acceptance of other tribes for cloth, but also have pottery as a solid guarantee, not afraid of overturning.

Shen Huaijin herself took out 20 yuan of cloth and [-] clay pots, of which five pieces of cloth were used as hard work for the orcs and distributed by themselves.

There was no Xi in the market team, Shen Huaijin glanced around and saw Hei in the team bowed his head in shame.

He retracted his gaze, and wrapped another animal skin to Yan. The supplies he needed were drawn on a stack of paper inside, and he had to ask the leader to find them.

After confirming that Yan had learned of his request, Shen Huaijin recited a blessing in Chinese for the two teams as the witch's prayer.

Under the influence of psychology, everyone accepted it well. Some orcs even showed a radiant look, which made Shen Huaijin feel embarrassed, but he didn't show it, and said goodbye calmly.

The team of the Dasen Tribe was also going to follow. Shen Huaijin called Yuan and handed him two pieces of cloth.

Yuan subconsciously wanted to pick it up, but was slapped away by a serious dry slap. "Father!" he yelled.

He knocked on his head with hatred, and said in a deep voice: "This cloth is very precious, and Jin Wu is willing to give it to you because of his kindness. Why are you so embarrassed to accept it?!"

Shen Huaijin rubbed Yuan's red forehead, and said with a smile, "Don't worry too much about being a leader. Yuan came all the way and wanted to bring me wine. No amount of cloth can compare to this kind of intention."

He stuffed the cloth into Yuan's arms, and took out two washed and dried peach pits from his pocket, and put them on the linen.

"I saw you craving peaches two days ago, but unfortunately I couldn't dry peaches for you to take with you during the rainy season. You and Feng each have one of these two peach pits. It's best if you can grow a peach tree. If you can't, you can take it Commemorated."

"En!" Yuan nodded solemnly, with tears in his eyes.

Shen Huaijin patted his tighter upper arm, and teased, "You're so big, you still have to cry?"

He turned his eyes around the faces of the orcs of the Dasen Tribe, slightly curled his lips, and said warmly: "Let's go, be careful on the road."

Shen Huaijin was stationed at the spot, watching the backs of everyone traveling far away, and sighed insignificantly.

Let's say goodbye today, and I don't know if there will be a time to see you again.
