Beginning Backpack [Farming]

Chapter 120 Chestnut

The traveling merchant orcs never stayed in the same place for a long time, and when the members of the Great River Tribe got their favorite items, they would set off immediately.

One by one, the orcs climbed onto the gray-skinned beast's broad back and stood still.Yi walked at the end. He glanced at Shen Huaijin and other members of the Dahe Tribe who had come to see him off. He took out a bunch of black pillar bracelets from his small bag and handed them to Shen Huaijin.

His voice was gentle, "Jin Wu, I got this from a small tribe in Shihuoyuan. It is said that it can bring good luck to the sub-beast who holds it. Unfortunately, it is useless for me to hold it alone. You are my friend , this string of bracelets is for you, I hope to see you all next time I come to Linshanyuan."

Shen Huaijin took the hand bead silently, and handed him the fresh preserved fruit prepared in advance, "Boss Yi, have a good journey."

Yi didn't speak any more, turned around and stepped on the gray-skinned beast, and waved to Shen Huaijin with his back.

He let out a long cry, and the gray-skinned beasts who were originally short stood up slowly, and stepped towards the direction of the sunrise step by step.

"Is this the freedom he wants?" Li murmured beside him.

Shen Huaijin poked his strong chest muscles with her fingers, and her tone was sober, "It's either wandering around or freedom. The real freedom lies in the heart."

Li Yong snorted softly, held Shen Huaijin's troubled hand, and said lightly, "Let's go, let's go back and do our own work."

The sky is clear and the sky is clear, and it is a new day full of hope.

The traveling merchants came, and Shen Huaijin was rewarded a lot.He got soda ash and sulfur that he couldn't find for a long time, ingredients that Linshan didn't have, various practical tools, and of course all kinds of jewelry that he bought along with him to confuse the public. Although he was not interested in wearing these, he changed them into The decorations hanging over the bed are also very beautiful.

However, although he obtained a large amount of sulfur from traveling merchants, there was not enough saltpeter, the main component of black powder.Relying on the amount obtained from the sewage pit alone, it is barely feasible to use it to make ice, but it is unrealistic to produce gunpowder in large quantities.

Shen Huaijin still decided to keep it as an auxiliary tool to resist the beast tide. As for the base, the beastmen could only continue to mine manually.

That being the case, there is no rush to make gunpowder. Shen Huaijin still plans to build the east wing first, put up a fire pit, and then burn out glass windows. It is important to spend this cold season comfortably.

The rainy season has passed for several days, and the members of the tribe are busy with their own affairs. It is not easy for Shen Huaijin to ask someone to help him build a brick house. Fortunately, time is not urgent, and he can finish it slowly by himself.

He had just backfilled the foundation and asked Zhuang Zhuang to walk on it a few more times, using their own weight to tamp the foundation, when he saw An walking over quickly, he walked and said loudly: "Jin, you have to help me !"

Shen Huaijin turned around in surprise and asked, "Why are you in such a hurry, what happened?"

An swallowed her saliva, and complained: "It's not that bastard Ling, who caused all kinds of troubles in the base, and refused to come back from there. I think he listens to you the most, so I can only come to you for help."

"So that's how it is." Knowing that nothing bad happened, Shen Huaijin felt relieved, thinking that she had lived in the deep valley and hadn't gone out for a long time, and it was really boring, so she said straightforwardly: "Okay, let's go for a walk."

It was really dangerous to go out of the valley alone in this situation. They went with Yu's material transportation team, and happened to be accompanied by an adult longhorn beast, which greatly increased safety.

After a long time, Shen Huaijin stepped on this relatively smooth road again. He was full of joy in his heart. He adjusted the height of the bamboo hat and walked briskly with everyone.

The longhorn bears a lot of ingredients on its back, which is the amount allocated to the base.The work at the base is relatively hard, and they need to reduce their burden, so their food is sent directly from the valley and cooked for them.

Yu looked mature, and the original timid look on his face was gone. He led the team forward with ease.Everyone was more or less carrying something, including Shen Huaijin and An.

The sub-beasts hold long knives and have accumulated a lot of experience in going back and forth again and again. For those small beasts that are not very vicious, they can cut them back. If there are really evil beasts, there will naturally be long-horned beasts to deal with them .

Shen Huaijin hasn't been out of the valley to collect for a long time, and she was a little unfamiliar with the surrounding environment for a while, and became more curious in her heart.Even in the scorching sun, he looked around with great interest.

An didn't walk this road very carefully. Seeing that Shen Huaijin was quite interested, she also looked around.

"Huh?" He suddenly let out a strange sound, and then said with a smile: "Jin, look at this green fruit, it really hurts your hands, no bird or beast will dare to eat it."

Shen Huaijin followed his gaze.

There are several trees that are only five or six meters high growing on the side of the road, and the heavy branches are covered with fist-sized green hairy fruits.It is said to be "hair", but when you get closer, you can find that it is full of sharp thorns of different lengths, completely covering the outer wall of the fruit.

"Wait a minute!" Shen Huaijin frowned, and said hesitantly, "Why do I look so familiar with this? It's a bit like..."

At that moment, Shen Huaijin randomly picked up a branch and hit the heavy, short branch, knocking down two thorny green fruits.He cut it open from the belly with the knife he carried with him, and at this moment, the chubby brown chestnut rolled out.

"It really is!" Shen Huaijin said in surprise.

Hearing his exclamation, An and the surrounding Asian beasts gathered curiously and asked, "Jin, what good thing is this?"

Shen Huaijin was overjoyed because of this sudden luck. He picked up the fresh brown chestnut and explained excitedly: "This thing is called chestnut. It can be eaten raw, fried with sugar or fried with meat. It's very delicious. Delicious. The vitamins and minerals in chestnuts...well, they are very nutritious, and eating them is good for your body."

From his tone, everyone could guess that this strange fruit must be good.

"Then we are really lucky, Jin, thanks to your knowledge!" An said with emotion from the side.

"Yes, yes." The sub-beasts chirped, "If it weren't for Jin, we would never have imagined that there would be such a good chestnut in the scary green fruit."

Shen Huaijin waved his hand modestly.He looked back and saw a few shorter chestnut trees hiding behind the roadside chestnut trees, but the fruits seemed to be ripe.

"It looks familiar, let's pick some back directly!" A sub-beast suggested.

Just as Shen Huaijin was considering whether to take some back to stew the wild birds, the longhorn beast carrying the things impatiently let out an "ang" sound.He came back to his senses, and quickly said: "Let's send the ingredients to the orcs at the base first, and then we'll think about the chestnut. Anyway, the chestnut tree has been here, and it won't run away with long legs."

"Yes!" An Ying agreed, "Don't let the orcs in the base get hungry, let's send them there quickly."

Remembering that there was a task ahead, everyone hurried away from the chestnut tree and continued on their way to the base.

When Shen Huaijin arrived, he saw that the orcs in the base were working in full swing, not caring about the scorching sun at all.Everyone has an orderly division of labor, and the operation efficiency of the assembly line is extremely high.

The sub-beasts unloaded the ingredients and let the longhorn go to rest in the shade, while they started to cook simply, cooked vermicelli and fried meat, and served it with fresh berries.

The orcs at the base basically eat three meals. They cook some long-lasting food in the morning, eat the most harvested meal in the morning, and cook some food delivered that day to fill their stomachs in the evening.

Everyone moved quickly, and the orcs were able to feast quickly.

After finishing her work, An caught Ling who was running around.This brat relied on not being bullied by wild beasts, and the beastmen couldn't keep looking at him, so he was wild in the base for a long time, and his whole body was blackened several times.

Shen Huaijin pinched Ling's nose, and pretended to be serious: "Boy, why don't you want to go back?"

Ling remained still obediently, speaking with a muffled nasal voice, "Jin, it's fun here, I want to stay with Father."

Ann gave him a headache, "Your father said that he never saw you stay by his side well. You climbed trees or entered the water all day long. You hid in the mine and almost got hurt. Don't think I don't know anything. "

Ling rubbed his head, and said aggrievedly, "Jin is talking about combining work and rest."

"Lao means climbing a tree, and Yi means going into the water?" Shen Huaijin asked quietly.

"What's the point of talking to him?" A big hand stretched out from the side, picked up Ling who was still struggling to find a reason, and said coldly: "Today I will go back to the tribe with you, and throw this bastard back Teach him a good lesson, and see if he dares to go to the mine to play in the future."

The orcs working at the base would go back to the tribe to rest for a few days every once in a while, and Rin, as the captain, had been stationed here for a long time, so he just took this opportunity to go back to the valley.

You Lin was traveling with the other two orcs, and Shen Huaijin and the others didn't have to go with the transport team, they just went back.

The chestnut tree I met when I came here also reminded Shen Huaijin that the pumpkin field I had seen near here should be almost mature, and I can just take a detour to see it when I go back.

Shen Huaijin made this proposal, and everyone hit it off and got up immediately.

However, due to uneven nutrition, the pumpkins in the wild mature early and late, some have green color, some have golden skin, and even the petioles are a bit dry.

Shen Huaijin and An picked five large pumpkins that were already ripe, put them in the basket and walked towards the chestnut tree. This time they could concentrate on picking chestnuts.

Several people held sticks and knocked down the chestnut bags hanging precariously on the branches one by one.After laying a layer on the ground, everyone rolled it again with hard rattan soles, and slightly opened the gaps in the chestnut bag, which could also remove some spikes.

The chestnuts on the ground are yellow and green, and the yellow ones fell by themselves after they were fully mature. They were covered by fallen leaves, so no one noticed them just now, but everyone noticed them when they stepped on them.

The sharp thorns pierce your hands. People dare not touch the shell of chestnut buns directly. They can only cut open along the gap with a long or short knife, step on one of the petals with one foot, and peel the knife in the opposite direction. The thorny hopper was opened, and the chestnuts inside rolled out, and they were picked up and thrown into rattan baskets.

Seeing that they had collected a lot, Shen Huaijin signaled everyone to stop, and persuaded: "If you pick too many chestnuts, you have to take care to preserve them. We pick as many as we eat, and come and get them when we don't have enough."

Everyone responded one after another, and returned to the valley with a lot of harvest on their backs, only to find that there was a quarrel in the square.
