Beginning Backpack [Farming]

Today is indeed a fine weather.

The morning breeze was warm, and the warm sunshine dispelled the dull breath that Shen Huaijin brought out from the medicine house.

Shen Huaijin rinsed his mouth with coarse salt and leaves, looked up at the birds passing by in the sky, and missed the most delicious friend of human beings in his heart.

After the leader rock wakes up, he will patrol the tribe as usual.

Seeing this, Shen Huaijin thought of the sweet potatoes he had dug up yesterday, and hurried forward to stop him.

"Yan, I heard that you are going to hunt today. Can you help me catch some small animals? I want to see if the fruit I dug yesterday can be eaten."

Yan asked strangely: "Is it that kind of fruit called lemon? Didn't we already tasted it yesterday?"

Shen Huaijin shook her head, and replied, "No. It's a kind of fruit called sweet potato. If you can eat it, we can get a lot of food."

After Yan communicated with Dawu, he had already determined that Shen Huaijin had special abilities and knew a lot. How could he not be happy when he heard that there was a new source of food, so he agreed to him in a hurry.

After thanking Shen Huaijin, she went to look for An. He had other important matters in the valley today.

When he went out to collect fruit yesterday, he found that everyone could only use some animal skins to wrap the fruit, which was very inefficient and difficult to carry. After returning to the pharmacy that day, he looked through the file folder and found a few ways to weave the baskets. the right material too.

"Jin, you woke up really early." An greeted Shen Huaijin while packing up the meat, vegetables and fruits for cooking.

An didn't have to lead a team to collect them today, so he didn't get up early.

"I am used to it."

Shen Huaijin waved her hand casually, and saw the rope the other party was using to tie the animal skin skirt.I didn't pay attention to it two days ago, but when I looked closer today, I realized that it didn't look like a grass stem, but a thin strip torn from a vine.

He pointed to Ann's waist rope and asked curiously, "What is this made of?"

An replied: "It was torn from the dried hemp vines." He also brought some hemp vines from the back of the house to show Shen Huaijin.

Hemp is common outside the valley, so named because the skin tingles when it touches fresh sap.However, the hemp vine after drying is extremely resilient, and people will cut it into thin strips to tie animal skin skirts or bind prey.

"Can you give me some? I want to use this to make a rattan basket for fruit."

Shen Huaijin gestured at the rattan basket.

Ann naturally agreed.

Hemp grass and vines are plentiful and practical, and every household in the tribe has a lot of them. An immediately greeted a few sub-beasts in their collection team.

Everyone heard that Shen Huaijin wanted to use hemp vines to make something that could hold fruit, and they all took out the stocks at home.

Shen Huaijin waved his hands again and again. He didn't need so much at all, but everyone was so enthusiastic that he finally accepted them all. He thought it would be good to make a few more rattan baskets to give back.

Shen Huaijin weaves rattan baskets, and everyone watches and learns from the side.

He was afraid of ruining it, so he chose the simplest weaving method.

The sun-dried hemp vines were split into thick or thin strips. Shen Huaijin first took six thicker vines and arranged them in a star shape, and then filled in half of them to form a base for a more stable weave. The flexible grass stems are tied and then woven with thin cane in a spiral.

After weaving a base with a suitable size, fold up the thirteen thick rattans and continue weaving the thin rattans.When it reaches a certain height, fold the remaining thick rattan inwards, stuff it in and hide it.

Such a simple rattan basket is formed, and it can be stored in the house usually.Shen Huaijin made two shoulder straps out of thick rattan tied with animal skins, which are convenient for carrying when going out to collect.

Holding this finely woven rattan basket, An really didn't expect Jin's hands to be so dexterous, making such a useful thing all at once.

With this, they can not only free their hands when they go out to collect, but also take more things.

Usually there are so many hemp vines in the house, but they can't think of such an idea.

"Jin, you are so smart to come up with such an idea."

"Jin, I want to learn, teach me."

"This thing looks so convenient, Jin, I want to learn it too!"

Everyone has different opinions. Shen Huaijin didn't plan to weave the baskets of the three collection teams by himself. Of course, he was happy to teach everyone.

After getting started, I realized that this group of sub-beasts who often work are no slower than Shen Huaijin who read the information several times last night to weave baskets.After all, the method is simple, and something that can be mastered after reading it twice, Shen Huaijin is happy and relaxed.

Yang, who was passing by, also looked at them curiously. When Shen Huaijin found out, he sneered, turned around and left without caring.

Shen Huaijin smiled and shook her head, naturally she didn't touch his bad luck.

As soon as Li came out of the house, he looked towards the square. The term square was brought up by Shen Huaijin, and everyone now calls the open space in the middle of the tribe that way.I saw a group of sub-beasts sitting around Shen Huaijin in the square, all making things up in their hands, and I guessed that Shen Huaijin must have shown something interesting again.

He was not shy, and abruptly leaned towards Shen Huaijin, unexpectedly, the sub-beasts who were usually happy to see him ignored him this time, and only cared about weaving things with hemp straw and rattan, and shared their skills with the sub-beasts around him from time to time.

"What is this?" Li asked.

"Rattan basket. It's for storing things." Shen Huaijin replied without raising his head, and pushed the big silver-haired dog trying to rub his head against his shoulder with one hand.

I was speechless with satisfaction in my heart, thinking that this hair really looks like my sister's Samoyed.

After Shen Huaijin taught everyone to weave rattan baskets, she didn't stay long, and went to find the big witch to continue "learning" the orc language.

He noticed that Dawu looked at him with more complicated eyes recently, and he had a hunch that the showdown might be soon.

In the afternoon, Shen Huaijin asked Yan Yan again to ask her again, and she was relieved when she got an affirmative answer. There was no way, he really wanted to eat roasted sweet potatoes.

The valley was very quiet in the afternoon, and when the temperature was no longer as scorching as it was at noon, Shen Huaijin was called by the teenagers to catch fish again.

Being around kids is relaxing, so he doesn't say no.

The experienced teenagers became more and more proficient this time, and they were able to insert a fish in three or five o'clock, which attracted the cheers of the youngsters, "There will be aquatic food tonight!"

Shen Huaijin smiled, looking at the lively appearance of the cubs, while thinking about what delicious fish he could make tonight to feed the cubs.

But all I can think of are pickled fish, boiled fish and other methods that require a lot of seasoning. Just as I was struggling, I saw that Yan's gang had returned with a full load, and everyone was carrying prey, large or small.

At a glance, he saw three fat birds on the rock hand. Their feathers were brown, with dark patterns on their backs, blue feather rings on their necks, and bright red crests on their cheeks. Their shapes were similar to those on the earth. The pheasant is about the same.

Shen Huaijin knew that this was specially caught for him to "experiment".

After all, the meat on birds is really not much, and in the eyes of orcs with big appetites, it is only a gap between the teeth, so no orcs usually go hunting birds.

Shen Huaijin was hungry for chickens in the morning, but now wild birds came down.After experimenting with this bird, it would be a good choice to be a beggar or a beggar fish together with tonight's fish.

He thanked Yan, and asked Yan to call for help. He killed and removed two of the wild birds, and left him to make delicious food.He carried the remaining wild bird that was screaming and walked towards the medicine store.

Shen Huaijin took a piece of cotton thread from the house, and tied the loud-sounding wild bird to the door of the medicine house.

Twenty catties of sweet potatoes were piled up in the corner of the medicine house by Shen Huaijin. He picked the smallest one and stuffed it for wild birds to peck and eat.

This wild bird probably doesn't have a high IQ, so it was forced by Shen Huaijin, so it obediently pecked it several times

Shen Huaijin waited for a long time, and when the wild bird was finally too tired to raise its voice, nothing happened to it.

Now that he no longer has any worries, thinking of the delicious roasted sweet potatoes, he excitedly patted the tired wild bird.He only heard the other party scream in a hoarse voice, and suddenly laid an egg.

Eggs!

Considering that scrambled eggs are really popular, Shen Huaijin decided to try raising this "screaming chicken" after a moment of deliberation.

Shen Huaijin settled the eggs and wild birds, and carried about twenty catties of sweet potatoes to the square in a wicker basket.

The fish and wild birds had been disposed of according to his orders.

Shen Huaijin asked Xi and Hei to dig some wet yellow mud by the stream, and asked Yu to pick dozens of large leaves and clean them.

He used a stone knife to cut a few cuts for these fish and wild birds, rubbed the skin with salt and lemon juice, stuffed them with licorice and marinated them.

When everything was ready, he wrapped the fish meat and the wild bird meat with big leaves respectively, and then wrapped it thickly with wet soil.

The second step is to start a fire to burn firewood. When the firewood is almost exhausted and there is a certain amount of charcoal fire underneath, Shen Huaijin puts the fish and wild birds wrapped in mud into the charcoal fire to simmer, and then puts some dry firewood on it to burn.

The cubs already had complete trust in him, squatting one by one by the fire, looking expectantly at the orange jumping flames.

Shen Huaijin hadn't cooked beggar's chicken for a long time, and had been paying attention to the heat. Seeing that the time was almost up, she extinguished the open fire with dry mud, and pulled out the burnt mud bag with a wooden stick.

While there were still some sparks, Shen Huaijin threw the sweet potatoes into the pit, and buried them with the scalded sand on the side.

An looked at the big and small lumps of dirt on the ground, and asked tangledly, "Jin, it's all burnt out, can I still eat it?"

Shen Huaijin said: "It's still good inside." As he spoke, he lightly tapped a beggar fish with a wooden stick.

As the hardened mud clods fell down one by one, an overbearing aroma overflowed, and everyone discovered that although the mud lump was burned unbearably on the outside, the aquatic meat wrapped in it was just simmered. good.

Seeing this, Shen Huaijin knew it was done, and felt a little happy.

It was not yet time for dinner, and the remaining mud clods had the effect of keeping heat, so he was not in a hurry to break them open.

On the contrary, several young boys stared at the opened share of beggar fish and salivated. One of the boys named Ye was still sniffling and said to Shen Huaijin crying:

"Jin, the water you cook is really fragrant and delicious. Can I be your partner when I grow up?"

Shen Huaijin didn't take Tong Yan to heart, but replied with a smile: "Oh, but I don't like a partner who always cries."

Ye Wenyan cried even louder, causing Shen Huaijin and everyone to laugh out loud.

Li sat beside him, proudly puffing out his chest, thinking that I usually bleed, sweat, but not cry, and this group of brats can’t compare to me.
