Beginning Backpack [Farming]

The evening wind in the valley dispelled the heat and dullness of the day.

After praying, the leader announced the opening of the meal, and the tribal square became lively.

Shen Huaijin and the others knocked open the mud bags one by one, and let Xi and the others take some of them as usual, and distributed them to other fire pits.

Beggar chicken is bright reddish-purple color and fragrant. He took apart a pheasant chicken wing to try it out.The leaf bag locks most of the juice, so it is crispy, tender and delicious after one bite.

If he can find more familiar ingredients in the future, and stuff some shrimp and bamboo shoots into the chicken belly, or if the seasoning is richer, Shen Huaijin can make it more delicious.

There were not many beggar chickens, and Shen Huaijin was not greedy, so he shared the rest of the meat with others, while he took a bunch of berries and ate the sweet potatoes that had been buried for almost half an hour with a stick.

Guessing that it was almost time, Shen Huaijin directly pulled out one and wrapped it in leaves.

He carefully peeled off the browned and even blackened outer skin, revealing the golden yellow potato flesh. He took a bite, and it was soft, sweet and delicious, no different from the ones his grandfather had baked for him.

Shen Huaijin's heart suddenly felt at ease, as if grandpa's big hands were patting his shoulders, and he still smiled: "My dear, grandpa will make you whatever you want to eat."

He blinked, hiding his gaffe.

Shen Huaijin picked three roasted sweet potatoes, wrapped them in leaves, and delivered them to Dawu's table in person, and said to Yan in the orc language: "Yan, thank you, help me catch the beast. I tried it, and the sweet potatoes are not poisonous and can be eaten." .”

Shen Huaijin's listening has improved a lot now, but her spoken English is still a bit stumbling, so she explained to Xiu in Mandarin: "This kind of plant grows a lot outside the valley, and we can grow it ourselves. Sweet potatoes are very filling to eat , There are many ways to do it, and it is also rich in nutrition. As long as it is stored properly, it can last for a long time. If we make good use of it, then this cold season, the Dahe Tribe may not have to suffer from the plight of lack of food."

Xiu translated Shen Huaijin's words into the orc language and conveyed it to Yan, who nodded with obvious joy on his face.

"Jin, the Dahe tribe should thank you for your efforts. If the sweet potatoes are as good as you said, then the tribe will have a stable winter season!"

Shen Huaijin shook her head without showing the slightest sign of taking credit.

"I came to the Dahe Tribe and lived with everyone. Of course, I want to give what I know to the tribe."

The leader and the great witch naturally understood what he meant, and the great witch stopped Shen Huaijin from returning to his original position, and said to him, "Jin, it's troublesome to walk there, so you can eat here."

After finishing speaking, Xiu asked Miao to hand him a beggar fish, and asked, "Is this the way you came up with it? Shuisheng's method is really delicious, and the cubs like it very much. The tribe can also have an additional source of food. "

Shen Huaijin replied cautiously: "This is the way of my hometown. I just learned it. If I can find fruits that can be seasoned, all kinds of animal meat can be made more delicious."

The big witch nodded. Of course, the purpose of letting Shen Huaijin stay was not to ask about Shui Sheng's practice, but to publicly express to the tribe how much he valued Shen Huaijin.

There is no hierarchy in the Eastern Continent. Except for the leader and the witch, all members of the tribe have a simple concept of equality.Only the squad leader can command other members while working, and the squad leader is not qualified to sit next to the leader and Wu during meals.

The big witch's approach naturally made everyone see the difference between his attitude and Shen Huaijin's, and it also made some people's minds flutter.

However, when the leader announced that Shen Huaijin had found a food that was plentiful, filling and long-lasting, that is, the sweet potato that everyone tasted delicious just now, but it was a pity that the quantity was small, the tribe fell into joy again.

The orcs are powerful and have almost no natural enemies, but the environment is harsh and the cold season is extremely cold.In the cold season, the world is boundless, the beasts hide, and the food is scarce.

At the most helpless time, in order to prevent the cubs of the tribe from starving to death, those old orcs and sub-beasts would choose to leave the tribe in the dark and go deep into the snow.

Shen Huaijin found a large amount of sweet potatoes that can be stored for a long time, which means that the possibility of tribal members starving to death in the cold season will be greatly reduced.

No wonder the leader and the great witch valued Shen Huaijin so much.

Everyone understood in their hearts, and there was less suspicion of Shen Huaijin, and a little more intimacy.

The people in the tribe showed their emotions outright, Shen Huaijin saw their changes, knew that he played the right chess, and let out a long breath in his heart.

Naturally, his choice is to share weal and woe with the tribe, so sharing good things with the tribe on his own initiative is beneficial to him and not harmful at all.Hiding it or exchanging it for benefits will only make the xenophobic primitive people use him more and get less close to him in the future, which is not conducive to his future life.

Shen Huaijin also had a smile on his face, and had a meal with Da Wu and the others, enjoying themselves happily.

After eating, An Heyin came to Shen Huaijin to take a bath in the stream together.

Only then did Shen Huaijin know that the tribe still had the habit of taking a bath. He had been fetching water to wipe his body in the medicine house for the past two days, and he was always worried that it would be difficult to find a chance to take a bath in the future.

It seems that primitive people also want to be clean.Shen Huaijin felt a little embarrassed when she thought of her misunderstanding.

Yin misunderstood Shen Huaijin's silence, thinking he was worried about insecurity, and comforted him: "The orcs and sub-beasts in the tribe take turns to take a bath in the stream. When the sub-beasts take a bath, the orcs will take the initiative to avoid them. You don't have to worry."

Shen Huaijin nodded.He is not a real sub-beast. In his eyes, an orc and a sub-beast look like men, no different from himself. He does not have such a defensive heart in his heart.

An held Shen Huaijin's arm, and suggested: "The beads are almost used up. Before it is completely dark, let's go for a stroll in the valley and pick some. Pearls are also very common in the valley."

The valley covers an area of ​​nearly [-] mu. Except for the square and the thatched huts, which are muddy land, the other areas are covered with dense vegetation. Shen Huaijin hasn't had time to take a closer look, and maybe he can find some plants he knows from inside. At this moment Hearing An's invitation, he naturally readily agreed.

The tribe's thatched huts are located along the middle and lower reaches of the stream, that is, near the mouth of the valley in the south.Shen Huaijin and his party walked towards the source of the stream while searching.

It was dusk now, and the sky was getting darker. Fortunately, the sub-beasts had strong night vision capabilities, and Shen Huaijin could barely do it. Sure enough, he saw a lot of fruits along the way.

Unlike other subbeasts who focused on picking and washing fruits, Shen Huaijin focused on finding things he was familiar with.

"Huh." He stopped in his tracks.

Broadly ovate leaves with coarsely serrate edges, purple on both sides.

"Isn't this Zisu?" Shen Huaijin murmured.He pinched a handful of leaves and put them under his nose to sniff, and he could still smell a peculiar fragrance.

Out of professional habits, Shen Huaijin is familiar with the appearance and properties of wild herbs. If he is not mistaken, it should be perilla.

Perilla is both edible and medicinal.Perilla leaves are pungent and warm in nature and have the effects of sweating, relieving the exterior, dispelling cold and regulating qi. Perilla seeds also have the effects of lowering qi and eliminating phlegm, moistening the lungs and widening the intestines.Usually, if you wrap a barbecue or scrambled eggs with perilla leaves, the flavor is also excellent.

Unexpectedly, he just came here to try his luck, and he actually found a familiar plant. Shen Huaijin couldn't help being overjoyed, looked up and looked around, and silently wrote down the location of the perilla.

Shen Huaijin was moved by the discovery of perilla. Since there is perilla in the valley, there may naturally be other plants he is familiar with.

He asked the sub-beasts around him: "Is there any fruit or grass in the valley that is not poisonous like lemon but has a strange taste?"

A sub-beast thought for a while, then hesitated and said: "I know that there is a plant whose roots grow in large pieces and are still yellow. Once there was too little food in the cold season, my father tried it once, but it was very pungent. , and touch the eyes with the hand that took it, the eyes will also feel stinging."

Shen Huaijin frowned and thought, wondering if it might be ginger, but he intended to verify his guess.But now it was getting late, and the sub-beasts were all thinking about taking a bath, so he could only make an appointment with the sub-beast named Ya, and get up the next morning to take him to find that kind of plant.

Everyone carried animal skins for cleaning with them, and when they collected enough washing beads, they found a suitable place and got into the water one after another.

Although Shen Huaijin is a southerner, she went to university in the north and also experienced big bathhouses, so she was not shy, and soon she took off naked like everyone else.

An beside him looked at the clothes he took off, pointed to his underwear, and asked curiously: "What is this? It looks really strange."

Shen Huaijin didn't expect Ya Beast's night vision ability to be so strong that such a small piece of fabric piled up in his trousers could be found, his face turned red, and he stammered: "This is underwear. Uh, It is dedicated to protect there."

An covered her mouth and smiled, teasing without malice: "You are really particular, no wonder you are so white and good-looking."

Shen Huaijin touched his hot earlobe, thinking that compared with his male friends who wear skin care and makeup every day, he is not too particular.

It's just that he was born with a good foundation and a special physique. He usually doesn't get tanned by the wind and the sun, but when he meets a group of primitive people with rough skin and thick flesh, he is suddenly set as a "white and beautiful" persona.

Thinking of the only three pairs of underwear left, he also felt a little anxious.

In fact, he has long intended to use the information in the USB flash drive to spin some cloth and make some toilet paper. As a modern person, he really can't accept the life of being idle and cleaning only with leaves.

It's just that the big witch and the leader didn't tell him the truth. As a "non-staff member", it's okay for him to find some reliable food sources for the tribe. It's too early to really make cloth and paper.

Shen Huaijin had already discovered that these two people had been secretly observing him. He was not angry because of being observed, but he couldn't find an opportunity to break the deadlock. Now he hoped that he could pass the test of the big witch and the leader as soon as possible.

He sighed imperceptibly, and submerged most of his body in the stream.

The stream water in the hot season is still warm at night, which soothes Shen Huaijin's soreness after working hard for the past few days.

The evening breeze, the fragrance of flowers, the sound of running water and the twinkling stars in the blue-black sky.

Shen Huaijin looked up at the bright and vast starry sky, and remembered that when he was a child enjoying the cool air in the courtyard in the countryside, when he was held in his arms by his grandfather, he saw the same many twinkling stars.

If this is really a parallel world to the earth, at least this starry sky will look like he was familiar with after thousands of years.
