Beginning Backpack [Farming]

Originally, it was expected that he would have to cut the rice slowly for a few days, but with the concerted efforts of everyone, Shen Huaijin achieved his wish in just one day.

There was a burst of fragrance from the plump ears of rice, and clumps of golden clumps were piled together by everyone after a little arrangement.Shen Huaijin looked at the harvest scene and let out a sigh of satisfaction before turning around and preparing to cook.

The rice had to be pounded and pounded to remove the husks before it could be cooked. Shen Huaijin could only prepare other food to reward everyone tonight. It was just that there were so many people to eat, and she didn't know what to cook for a while.

Fearing that everyone would be hungry, Shen Huaijin went to the house to move kelp while thinking about it.A few days ago, I got a lot of dried kelp from a traveling merchant, and Li has been coveting it for a long time.Before going out in the morning, I soaked some in the water basin, saying that it was to be cooked and eaten at night. Later, when Shen Huaijin saw that everyone came to help, she urgently added some more soaks.

A bucket of kelp was placed under the warm sunset light at dusk. Four or five rolls of dried kelp had completely disintegrated after being soaked for half a day. Moisturized, not at all dry and wrinkled in the morning.

Seeing that he was frowning and not speaking, he strode over, brought him a clean sweat towel, and asked in a deep voice, "Have you cut off all the rice, Jin, why do you look like you are still there?" Worried?"

"I don't have it." Shen Huaijin chuckled when she came back to her senses, "I was just thinking of some food that is simple and delicious to cook. Everyone has worked hard all day, so we have to let them eat it as soon as possible."

"In addition to kelp, there are many chestnuts and old pumpkins in the house. The tribe has not eaten them yet, so I can give them a try."

An poked her head out from behind and said happily, "Jin, don't worry that it will be too late. Everyone has finished their work and is waiting to cook with you. If you have anything you want to do, just say it, and we will come to you Let's do it."

Shen Huaijin smiled brightly, "Okay."

Since time is not a problem, he can do it freely. Needless to say, kelp soup, seaweed salad, stewed wild birds with chestnuts and various ways to eat pumpkin will also be put on the table.

An knew how to make chestnuts and pumpkins, so he was in charge of this part, while Shen Huaijin focused on processing the soaked kelp.

Kelp has high nutritional value and can cool and relieve heat. It is delicious and refreshing when used to stew pork ribs.

Shen Huaijin took the fresh animal meat just slaughtered in the afternoon, took the ribs and cut them into small pieces, cooked them in a pot under cold water, and took them out for later use.

The fine and thick kelp has to be divided into two parts, one half is cut into sections for stewing soup, and the other is usually shredded for cold dressing. The sub-beasts rushed to do these preparations.

After everything was ready, Shen Huaijin put the onion and ginger into the hot oil and sautéed until fragrant, then added the kelp and ribs and stir-fried.

On the blazing fire, the iron pan conducts heat quickly, and the moisture contained in the kelp is excitedly stimulated, and the smell of the sea is mixed with the meaty aroma of the ribs.Ya Beast next to him sniffed drunkenly, and then quickly passed the seasoning to Shen Huaijin.

Shen Huaijin poured cold boiled water into the pot, added an appropriate amount of salt, fish sauce and licorice powder, simmered on high heat for about 10 minutes, then turned to low heat and simmered for a while.

The kelp shreds at the other end have been boiled, and because there is no large container, they have been packed into dark green plates.

Shen Huaijin mixed salt, fish sauce, powdered sugar, minced garlic, minced chili, and animal oil in proportion, poured them on one by one, and then sprinkled some chopped green onion, and a spicy and refreshing cold sea urchin shreds was ready.

At this time, it was time for the seaweed stewed pork ribs to come out of the pot. Shen Huaijin sprinkled some chopped green onions on top to garnish to enhance the flavor, and moved them to the square together with cold seaweed shreds and chestnut stewed wild birds.

Everyone was hungry for a long time, and they had no intention of being polite, and they consciously took the tableware to be self-sufficient.This time, they are basically new dishes. Everyone is completely attracted by the crunchy kelp shreds, dense pumpkin and soft chestnut. Lifting his neck to the side, Hei was punched again by the impenetrable stone on the side, which made everyone laugh.

For a while, the tribe laughed and laughed.

Shen Huaijin and Li sat side by side, watching this lively scene, couldn't help but burst out laughing.

He picked up the hot soup in the bowl, took a sip carefully, and the soup with the aroma of seafood and meat was drawn into the esophagus, bringing it full of iron.The kelp is tender and delicious, while the pork ribs have been stewed so crispy that you can even sip the bones in one bite. It tastes delicious and not greasy.

A plate of dark green cold seaweed shreds is decorated with fine yellow minced garlic and fiery red chili flakes. It has a tangy aroma and tastes even more sour and delicious.Wrapped in perilla leaves together with barbecue meat, it is crispy and refreshing.

After a busy day, Shen Huaijin's stomach finally got great comfort.

At this time, the night was dark, and the dark blue sky was only dotted with a few stars, and the moonlight was gentle and silent, quietly overlooking the beauty and happiness of the harvest.

Still busy before going to bed, Shen Huaijin first followed everyone to take a bath upstream, and then soaked a lot of beans when she came back, planning to grind tofu for eating the next day.After finishing everything with great difficulty, he came back and lay face up on the bed, but was overturned by a slap.

Shen Huaijin buried her face in the pillow, and said in a muffled voice, "What are you doing...ah!"

He couldn't help howling, the orc's hand was very strong, pressing and kneading his shoulder and back, dredging the stiff muscles and bones there, Shen Huaijin was bumped up and down by this movement, and grinned in pain.

"Almost... got it..." He refused intermittently.

The orc behind him sneered, "Hold it, if you don't press it, it will definitely hurt tomorrow, and it will be my fault again." He spoke convincingly, obviously having suffered this kind of pain.

Shen Huaijin wanted to cry but had no tears. He taught Li this massage technique. Although it was effective, it was really painful.

It was refreshing when it was really rubbed open, even if there was basically no strength to fight back, Shen Huaijin was embraced by the orc Saiba Seba, and fell asleep resignedly.

Although exhausted, the two of them still got up very early the next day. After all, there were two paddy fields waiting for them to thresh.

There were still many tribe members who came to help. Fortunately, Shen Huaijin had two threshing buckets, enough for five or six people to thresh at the same time.The two barrels can also be placed in two paddy fields separately, so that the glutinous rice and non-glutinous rice will not be confused.

The threshing barrel is a trapezoid with a small bottom and a large opening. One side of the opening is slightly blocked to prevent the grain from splashing, and the other three sides can be used for threshing rice.

The harvested rice was arranged neatly yesterday, and it will be put to use today.Everyone only needs to squeeze two or three handfuls of rice tightly into a bunch according to the size of their palms for threshing.

Before the official threshing, Shen Huaijin also specially picked out some rice grains with full grains and large ears, intending to thresh the grains alone and save the seeds.

The amount of spikes of rice here is not small, but it is not as good as the hybrid rice he has seen before. He can only try to find some rice with better characteristics for simple cultivation.

After putting the roughly picked rice grains aside properly, Shen Huaijin came to the threshing bucket with a large bundle of rice in the field. He raised the rice grains above his head and swung them down vigorously. There was a loud "bang" on the step, and some rice fell down immediately.

A threshing bucket can be used by three people, and the two people beside them are also threshing rice alternately, with the sound of "bang bang bang" one after another.

After beating like this three or four times, the grains on the side of the rice grains were almost gone, so Shen Huaijin stopped and changed sides and continued beating, trying to smash all the sides including the rice inside and out.

He hit hard.

The golden grains are falling down, and the fragrance of rice is overflowing.The original heavy handful of rice grains has been shattered after repeated beatings, and what I hold in my hand is already a handful of straw.

But the straw is by no means useless, it is very suitable for burning fire and making fodder. Shen Huaijin taught everyone to bundle them together and pile them up in the rice field, which looked like golden tall hats from a distance.

Members who do not directly thresh are responsible for collecting the grain.It is inevitable that some branches, leaves and dust will be mixed in the grains by manual threshing. The weaker sub-beasts carry bamboo sticks, scoop up some grains, and with a strong arm, raise the grains upwards in the direction of the wind. The impurities will go away with the wind, and what is left are basically full and firm grains.

Working until the evening, Shen Huaijin harvested [-] baskets of glutinous rice and [-] baskets of non-glutinous rice except for the part reserved for seeds.

Baskets and baskets of yellow rice are placed in the rice fields, exuding the fragrance of rice under the warm light of sunset.All the hard work throughout the year was in it, and Shen Huaijin looked at it with mixed feelings.

However, it is a blessing to be able to harvest rice without natural disasters and man-made disasters for the first time, and the situation will always get better and better after that. Shen Huaijin knows the truth not to rush forward.

Everyone helped Shen Huaijin to temporarily store the rice in the storage house or cellar to prevent the dew from getting damp at night.An looked at the changed rice fields and You Rongyan, he patted Shen Huaijin on the shoulder, and said comfortingly: "The harvest is finally over, okay, we should go back!"

Everyone knew that Shen Huaijin had been busy for two days and didn't intend to ask him to work hard to cook for everyone, so as soon as An's voice fell, the orcs and sub-beasts who had been busy all day were also busily going back. Shen Huaijin hurriedly stopped her.

"Don't just leave, I've made all the tofu, if you don't eat it, it will all go bad." Shen Huaijin complained.

It was true, he found the three little beasts to grind the soy milk for him while he was resting, now it has been cooked thoroughly and put on the stew, and he is letting it react slowly in the barrel.

Everyone looked at each other, each laughed a few times honestly, and took advantage of the situation to stay.

Just like the day before, everyone had a clear division of labor. Some of the sub-beasts cut vegetables and prepared ingredients, and some poured oil into the kitchen, while the orcs slaughtered animals and cut wood to make fire.Three whole baskets of beans are also made into a variety of snow-white tofu, which are either stewed in soup or fried in oil.

When the night falls and the stars are twinkling, everyone brings smoked tofu stewed fish, tofu kelp soup, hot and sour fried tofu and various barbecues to the square, with scalded meat on the side. Vermicelli with fresh berries for different flavours.

Shen Huaijin drank a big mouthful of the thick and fresh fish soup, and the thin sweat from the stimulation gradually disappeared under the gentle blowing of the night wind.He looked at the stacks of straw in the rice field not far away, and hugged Li next to him, and shouted excitedly to the distance: "I can eat rice!"

His voice was hidden in the lively noise of the tribe, and he didn't attract much attention from everyone. Only the silver-haired orc hugged him back silently.

As they firmly believe, life is always slowly getting better.

The author has something to say: Xiao Shen's appearance when she was being massaged was very similar to my unlucky appearance of going to open my back with great interest and then howling and saying I don't want it after being madly output by the masseur.

By the way, do the technicians want to challenge when they see that kind of hard bones (whispering), I just want to be pressed comfortably and don’t want to be broken and kneaded QAQ
