Beginning Backpack [Farming]

As the sky was getting brighter, Shen Huaijin woke up early to wash in the stream flowing down the river.The rays of the sun broke through the sky, and the orange-red sun poked out little by little, coating the few soft clouds with a circle of gold.

He got up and went back to the house, opened the window of the storage room, and the warm golden sunlight came through, casting on the two vats of fermenting soy sauce.Shen Huaijin stirred it with a long stick, and the fine pearls rippled and reverberated, sparkling.

At this moment, the tribe has not yet woken up, and the valley is quiet, only the sound of birds and insects, which makes people feel leisurely.

Shen Huaijin yawned and walked briskly, took out the fresh purple berries that An sent yesterday, and picked a dozen plump and round peaches from the tree, planning to make some preserved fruits and save them for later eating.

Pink peaches and plump berries are soaked in clear stream water, and the rushing water stirs up transparent foam, bringing a touch of coolness to the hot sun.

After the fruit was washed and peeled, Shen Huaijin cut the peaches into quarters with a clean knife and the berries in half.

Immediately afterwards, he put the cut peaches and berries into a container, poured brown sugar and a little lemon juice, mixed well, covered it with a dust cloth, and placed it in a cool and ventilated place for sugaring.

The cool breeze in the morning was fleeting, and under the influence of the scorching sun, the air was hot and dry.

Shen Huaijin stretched her waist, washed off the stickiness from the sugar juice on her hands, and saw the orc coming out of the room rubbing his messy silver hair.

He is tall and tall, and he is dressed in linen clothes and trousers that do not hide his tight muscles. Walking in the sun, he looks even more high-nosed, deep-set eyes, and sharp jawline. At first glance, he looks like a reclusive modern man.

When Li Niangguang came, Shen Huaijin was in a daze for a moment before recovering. He dried his hands and urged loudly: "Hurry up and wash up, let's go to work after breakfast."

"Okay." Li responded in a low voice with a morning nasal voice.

The two steamed sweet potatoes and egg custard, and made a fried bean sprouts with sauerkraut, served with hot and sour side dishes, which was right for breakfast.

Shen Huaijin packed dried meat and a few peaches for Li and asked him to take them with him. During the break, he also ate some to replenish his strength and water, so that he would not have to walk back and forth.

As the sun fell, the orcs began to build the city wall for a new day, and the sub-beasts also came and went to transport supplies.Shen Huaijin put on homemade cloth gloves, geared up, and couldn't wait to build her new house.

The bricks accumulated before have been moved out by Li's help and piled up by the side of the house, and part of the cement sand has been prepared by the side of the shed, just waiting for Shen Huaijin to build them up one by one.

He once again measured the distance on the spot to determine the size.

The house is built on flat ground, and it is also necessary to dig out a foundation about [-] centimeters high for bricklaying.In order to ensure the solidity of the house, a geosphere beam is added below the ground along the length of the wall, and then the soil is filled and compacted to be considered stable.

Shen Huaijin took the blueprint, first marked out the location of the east wing, and then started digging the foundation within the range with a hoe and a shovel.

The soil layer is dense and firm, and it is not easy to dig. If he still uses stone tools to dig the ground like before, it will be even more difficult.But even with iron tools in hand, Shen Huaijin's progress was not fast.It was only in the afternoon that one-third of the area was dug out, and the depth was only about [-] centimeters, and another layer had to be dug down.

In the hot sun, the clothes on the back were almost completely wet with sweat, which was really uncomfortable.Shen Huaijin took off his bamboo hat and sent away the heat above his head. He looked at the remaining workload and let out a sigh of relief.

Tired, not to mention very tired, but working in this kind of weather is really hot, no wonder the skin felt scaldingly hot when I touched it before.

He wiped his forehead with a sweat towel, and wiped the back of his neck with his hands stained with stream water. Feeling the heat of the skin, Shen Huaijin sighed, gritted his teeth and continued to work.

While he was working hard, three little beasts walked over slowly, calling softly beside him.

After getting along with them for a long time, Shen Huaijin can also guess the general meaning of the calls.

They want to play together.

Shen Huaijin took the time to glance at them.It is said to be a "little beast", but the juvenile longhorn has actually grown to the height of Shen Huaijin, and its skin is also developing towards thick and heavy things.The most important thing is that in order to adapt to the environment and correspond to its own weight, the longhorn's feet are very large and become flatter towards the edge, which looks like a big shovel.

Shen Huaijin had a thought, couldn't this kick be used for shoveling soil?

He looked at the three silly and unaware young longhorn beasts, and showed a gentle and sweet smile.

"Big ear, strong, dark gray, come here quickly."

"On? On high?"

For the strong and tireless longhorn beasts, shoveling soil is like playing. They were really fooled into it, excitedly shoveling and shoveling within the range designated by Shen Huaijin.

After hiring "child labor", Shen Huaijin relaxed.He took the water and rubbed his face violently to reduce the dryness on his skin.

At this time, the peach flesh and berries have been candied for five or six hours, which is almost the same.He lit a small fire, steamed the pickled fruit in water for about 10 minutes and then turned off the fire.

The peach flesh and berries were soft, so Shen Huaijin allowed them to cool down naturally, and then put them in an outdoor ventilated and sunny place to dry, waiting for them to gradually ooze sugar.As long as you make sure to turn it several times, after two or three days, the water content in the fruit will decrease to a certain level, and it will naturally become a sweet, sour, flexible and durable preserved fruit.

The sweet aroma of the fruit attracted Big Ears and the others, and three young longhorned beasts ran over unsteadily, pestering them to eat.

Shen Huaijin had no choice but to pick some fresh peaches and feed them.

Going to check, the half-cut pink and white peach flesh was immediately swept away by the proboscis, and the cub chewed the long-lost sweet and refreshing fruit, showing a happy look.

Shen Huaijin took the potato seedlings left after digging the potatoes two days ago, and handed them handfuls to eat.Not long after the seedlings were pulled out, they were still green and fresh, and they fed the big ears until their stomachs were round.

Baa Baa, who peeked at this scene in the animal pen, couldn't help it, and cried out aggrievedly.In desperation, Shen Huaijin had no choice but to let it out, but fortunately Zhuang Zhuang was not vicious, but accepted Baa Baa instead.The four little beasts happily played together, and Zhuang Zhuang "supervised" their work by bleating.

With these little helpers, the speed of work has been greatly improved. By the second day, the foundation with a depth of about [-] centimeters was dug.

Shen Huaijin poured water and mixed it with cement sand, and started laying bricks in earnest.

A thin trowel was hooked on the cement horizontally, and it was wiped on the indigo-colored brick.Shen Huaijin staggered up the bricks, and then scraped off the excess cement overflowing from the gaps.

Green bricks of the same size are regularly built, and the short "wall" looks very aesthetic.When Li Hunting came back, he saw this result.

He squatted at the entrance of the bamboo path to clean the blood stains on the side of his neck, silently staring at Shen Huaijin's busy back and the fabric of the back waist that was wet with sweat and looked translucent.

Sensing the inexplicable scorching heat behind him, Shen Huaijin subconsciously turned around, just in time to catch the sight of the silver-haired orc, his eyes lit up, and he waved his hand and said, "Li, come and help."

Li broke out of the trance and walked towards Shen Huaijin. He jumped into the dug foundation and squatted down to listen to the man's instructions.The orc learned very quickly, and he could play the trowel in a very good way without much effort.

With him taking over, Shen Huaijin was able to rest for a while. Only then did he realize that the other side of the stream was bustling with activity. It turned out that it was the time for the annual sweet potato harvest, and the tribe began to vigorously make sweet potato starch and vermicelli again.

Shen Huaijin stood on the spot and took a look. There were not many sweet potatoes collected on the first day, and everyone was able to use their hands with ease, so he gave up the idea of ​​helping and turned to his own business.

The rice has entered the stage of yellow ripening. In order to make the rice full and plump, and to improve the quality of the cultivated land, Shen Huaijin opened the water outlet to drain the thin water in the rice field.

In a short time, this batch of rice should be fully mature.

Thinking of this, Shen Huaijin couldn't hold back, and pulled Li to make threshing buckets together in the evening.

They choose tough and light fir boards as raw materials. The thickness of the boards is about three centimeters, and the weight of the threshing barrels should be reduced as much as possible under the premise of ensuring the strength of the threshing barrels.

The barrel is trapezoidal, with a small bottom and a wide top.There are two thick square wooden boards at the bottom as sliding boards, so that the threshing bucket can be pushed and pulled in the field or erected; the top is spacious, and the four slopes can be used for threshing grain, which is more efficient.

Shen Huaijin squatted aside and watched the wooden boards being nailed together, and suddenly said with emotion: "Fortunately, the leftover wood used to build the bridge before was not thrown away."

Li took the time to glance at him and asked curiously, "Why do you say that?"

The man patted the wood that had just been cut, and explained: "If the newly cut wood is used without drying in the shade, it is easy to crack or deform. Look at the wooden furniture I made before. They are all damaged and have to be replaced in time. Things like wooden tables and chairs and threshing buckets can be quickly made a new one, but..." Shen Huaijin pointed to the house that has not been started for a long time, "Our beams can't be fine Just change it, let alone crack or deform suddenly."

Li suddenly realized, "No wonder, at that time everyone said they were going to burn those logs, but you stopped them."

"At that time, I didn't think much about it, but I thought it was a pity to use such good rough logs as fuel. Anyway, the tribe has a big place, so it can always be put away." Shen Huaijin counted the days, "It's almost two days later. It has been more than a year, and it has met the requirements of natural drying of wood. I have checked the specific situation and the quality is still good.”

"It's really good." Li boasted, feeling that Shen Huaijin really took care of everything.

The evening wind was blowing, and the orcs who were still smiling on their faces suddenly looked cold. At the same time, the orcs on the other side of the stream became alert.

Li in front of him almost went into a riot. He faced the direction of the wind, showing his sharp fangs, exuding a suppressed aura on his body, threatening unknown visitors across mountains and rivers.

Shen Huaijin heard his deep and terrifying voice.

"A strange orc... broke in."
