Beginning Backpack [Farming]

Although the coldest period was tough, it ended quickly enough. The heavy snow finally showed a tendency to stop, but the sunlight shining on the pure white snow was still icy cold.

The temperature has risen, the orcs and sub-beasts have started to go out again, and the cubs are continuing their compulsory courses in the cold season. Shen Huaijin can occasionally hear the sound of "books" coming from the other side of the stream.

It happened that it was a long time since I went to see them, so Shen Huaijin specially saved some short stories and recorded them in the book, planning to relax with the cubs for a while.

Thinking of the reluctance on the faces of the cubs, Shen Huaijin couldn't help laughing, but she still felt pity in her heart, and planned to make some snacks and send them along.

The hot and sweet roasted sweet potatoes are indispensable, just to warm the hands of the children. In addition, Shen Huaijin also plans to try to make fresh milk mochi for the children to eat.

He found a lot of milk powder that he hadn’t eaten for a long time and accumulated a lot, melted it and boiled it slowly over low heat until small bubbles popped up, then added some powdered sugar and melted it with potato starch of water starch.

Under his tireless stirring, the animal milk became thick and smooth and could not be stirred easily.

He even soaked it in cold water with a pot, and poured it directly into a plate with soybean powder after cooling down.The white and soft fresh milk mochi is coated with fine soybean flour, and it dangles on the plate, which is very cute.

Considering the food intake of the children, Shen Huaijin specially made several servings, and sent them to the children together with the baked sweet potatoes.

It was afternoon at the moment, the kids were resting between classes, and Yu, the teacher, leaned aside and chatted with Ming, his face was still flushed, and while chatting, he saw Shen Huaijin walking in alone carrying a large amount of food.

Accompanying him was a burst of sweet smell, which immediately attracted the attention of the cubs.

Everyone turned their heads to look in the direction of the door, and saw Shen Huaijin holding various kinds of food with a smile on his face.

"Jin!" Everyone cheered, scrambling to run to him from their positions.

Shen Huaijin's tone was helpless, "Hey, don't squeeze me, or you will bump into all the delicious food."

Ling, who was the shortest, hugged Shen Huaijin's thigh, his eyes were big and bright, and his round face was charming, "Jin, what delicious food did you make for us?"

Shen Huaijin asked Yu Heming to take the things, then rubbed Ling's fluffy head, and said warmly: "It's roasted sweet potatoes and another fresh milk mochi that you haven't eaten before."

Hearing this, Ling blinked his eyes, twisted his body twice, and got the spoon first, "Then I will taste it for everyone!"

Although he is not very old, his hands and feet are really flexible. He took a spoonful of fresh milk mochi and put it in his mouth. Before he chewed it twice, his eyes lit up, "Sweet and sweet, soft!"

Now the other cubs are in a hurry, and they are all scrambling to be the first, lest they miss a bite, "I want it too! I want it too!"

Shen Huaijin reluctantly picked them up and divided them into several groups, and said solemnly: "Share together, don't rob!"

"Know~dao~la~" the cubs answered in unison in a baby voice.

Ling stood on tiptoe and tried hard to lift the plate in front of Shen Huaijin, "Jin, you eat too."

"Thank you, Ling." Shen Huaijin symbolically scooped up two spoonfuls. The fresh milk mochi was soft and smooth, not only full of milky fragrance, but also sweet and delicate of soybean flour.He said softly: "I still have some left in my room, Ling, you should eat more."

Shen Huaijin watched them enjoying their meal, while communicating with Yu and the others, "During the time I'm not here, are these brats easy to discipline?"

Yu smiled shyly, "It's quite noisy to be noisy, but if you really ask them to learn something, they are all happy."

Ming added: "There are also young people who can throw temper tantrums, but as soon as they say it's Jin's request, they immediately behave and say that they will come and tell you when they learn new words."

The smile on Shen Huaijin's face couldn't stop, he asked the kids: "Who learned the new characters?"

"Me!" "Me!" "Me!"

The little chubby hands raised up, and the little faces that had been working hard also raised up, looking at Shen Huaijin expectantly.

Because of their eagerness to eat, many of the boys were rubbed with soy flour and sweet potato meat, turning their cheeks into disfigured faces.

Shen Huaijin knelt down to wipe them clean, rubbed everyone's heads one by one, and said seriously: "You guys are really good, do you have any rewards you want?"

The boys rolled their round eyes and said in unison: "I want to hear a story!"

Shen Huaijin pulled out a handwritten booklet from her pocket like a tacit understanding, and waved it to everyone, "The new story is coming soon."

After coaxing the cubs into obedience, Shen Huaijin was able to escape and return to her room.

There is not much sunlight in the cold season, and it gets dark in the afternoon.

Li, who came back from the patrol, opened the door, still chattering coquettishly, "Jin, I'm so hungry, do you have anything to eat?"

Because the house is warm as spring, they don't have to be restricted by the environment and restrain themselves from eating only one meal a day. They often eat something in the evening to avoid starvation at night.

Shen Huaijin took his attention away from the phone screen and reminded: "There are freshly made mochi with fresh milk on the stove, you can eat some first. I have already soaked the glutinous rice, and I will steam the ribs later. "

Li carried the plate while eating and walking, sat down beside Shen Huaijin, and looked curiously at the lit phone screen.Seeing that there were some incomprehensible things, he retracted his gaze again, poured all the mochi into his mouth, smashed it, and said, "It's too soft."

Shen Huaijin flipped through the drawings of the blast furnace facilities in the materials all night, and glanced at him coldly, "If you don't like it, don't eat it."

Looking at this appearance, you can tell that you must be upset by the complicated blueprints in your phone. Li knows how to show weakness when appropriate, and said weakly: "I don't think I don't like it, but it's too soft to eat too quickly. Can't get enough of it."

As soon as I heard it, I knew it was nonsense.

Shen Huaijin didn't look at him, but the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

"Go dig a rib and come back."

The silver-haired orc stood up immediately, "Alright!"

It is indeed difficult to build a blast furnace. Shen Huaijin has read the drawings several times, but he really doesn't have the concept yet, so he can only rely on a few more experiments on the spot when the time comes.

He sighed, put the phone aside after locking the screen, rubbed his face, and got up to deal with the ribs that Li just dug back.

After thawing, the ribs were drained and cut into small pieces. Shen Huaijin added salt, fish sauce, green onion, ginger, garlic and licorice powder to the ribs, mixed them well and marinated them.

While marinating the ribs, I took out the glutinous rice that had been soaked for a long time, drained the water, added fish sauce and an appropriate amount of animal oil and stirred well.

The marinated pork ribs are first rolled in glutinous rice to make it covered with glutinous rice.

Now that there are no green plants in this season, let alone lotus leaves, Shen Huaijin simplified the steps and planned to start steaming directly.

He put a layer of glutinous rice on the plate first, then put a layer of marinated pork ribs, and then spread a layer of glutinous rice. He didn't put the plate into the pot until the meat and rice were used up, and turned on the fire to steam.

As the heat steamed up, the glutinous rice on the plate became fuller and more crystal clear.Shen Huaijin sprinkled some green scallions on it to add color, and then turned off the fire.

The steamed pork ribs with glutinous rice just out of the pan was fragrant, and Li took some hot and sour pickled radish to eat with it.

During the steaming process, the glutinous rice has fully absorbed the soup from the pork ribs. It not only tastes soft and sticky to the teeth, but also has a unique taste. It is sweet and has the fragrance of animal meat.The ribs are tough, especially the fascia attached to the bone, which is extraordinarily flexible to eat, and chewing out the bone marrow is even more satisfying.Occasionally eat a bite or two of soaked radish, and the greasy feeling in the mouth will be swept away.

Shen Huaijin finished eating with satisfaction, then washed up slowly and went to bed, and picked out a classic old movie to rewatch before going to bed.

Just when he thought that this cold season would pass so smoothly, an accident happened suddenly.

At the dawn of the long night, he was awakened by the familiar bone whistle.The orcs beside him had already rushed out, and Shen Huaijin was not as ignorant as last time, knowing that this was another riot by the herd.

He quickly followed out.

The valley was bleak, and it was not so dark because of the reflection of the snow. Shen Huaijin saw the sub-beasts gathering together with weapons in their hands, and heard the roar of unfamiliar beasts from far and near.

He gripped the long knife tightly and looked in the direction of Taniguchi.

There are two tall city walls standing silently, the distance between each other is less than a hundred meters, which greatly prevents the scene of crazy beasts rushing in.

Even today, the herd of beasts is still fierce. Where the two phases collide, ice and snow roll and mud and sand splash, rendering the gloomy sky even more depressing.

Before the battle situation reached a difficult moment, a wave of sub-beasts rushed the cubs to the cave where the long-horned beasts lived, while Shen Huaijin and others stayed in place, waiting for the situation to go up in time.

The beasts rushed in continuously, and while the orcs protected themselves, the battle line was forced to move into the valley inch by inch.

Shen Huaijin saw the silver giant wolf, which was particularly conspicuous in the night, tear the head of the attacking beast into two pieces, and then let out a long howl, pushing over the stones on the side that were going to be built into the city wall, and smashing it towards the frozen flat-bottomed stream .

There was only a sound of cracking, and the beasts who couldn't stop their charge fell into the icy cold stream, because there were a steady stream of similar creatures stepping on their bodies from behind, no matter how hard they struggled, they couldn't escape successfully.

The orcs who knew the topography of the valley learned a lot. For a while, there was an endless sound of cracking ice and plopping like dumplings.

The wind and snow gradually increased, and the beasts that fell into the stream couldn't bear the low temperature, and gradually stopped moving, while their savage and clumsy kind crowded each other, or fell into the water actively or forcedly.

With this wave of voluntary death, the pressure on the orcs has been reduced a lot, and the battle line has gradually moved outward.

The hazy white floated up in the sky, the morning light cut through the mist, and the last struggling beast also fell to the ground, its hind legs trembled violently a few times and then stopped moving.

Shen Huaijin moved her body as if regaining consciousness, only then realized that the palm of the hand holding the long knife was already wet with sweat, so he changed hands and wiped away the sweat from the palm of his hand.

Standing unimpeded by the wind for so long, Shen Huaijin's fair face was inevitably flushed by the cold wind, and there were some slight stinging pains, but he didn't care at all, he just looked at the more majestic figure under the sun. The city wall, thinking back to this time in the coming year, how they will deal with the crazier and more powerful beast tide.

Li, who was covered in dirt and blood, interrupted Shen Huaijin's association. He said in a hoarse voice, "It's okay, baby, let's go back."

"Are you injured?" Shen Huaijin asked anxiously.

"No." The blood-stained side of the orc's face looked extremely fierce and rough, but his eyes were gentle as if dripping water. "Don't worry, the city wall and stream blocked part of it this time, and no orc was injured."

He grinned indifferently, "It's just a little dirty."

Only then did Shen Huaijin feel relieved, resisting the soreness in his nose, and wiped his face, speaking in a thick nasal voice, "Not dirty."

Li took a hot bath, the lack of sleep and the high-intensity battle made him too lazy to move or catch up on sleep, so he could only hug Shen Huaijin and lie on the bed to recover his energy.

Although Shen Huaijin hadn't personally experienced the war, she was exhausted physically and mentally, and didn't bother to spend time cooking.He simply made a bald butter bibimbap, and took out the jar of fruit wine that he had sent, and brought them to the kang table together.

He sat opposite Li, poured a glass of wine for each of them, then looked into the eyes of the orcs seriously, and said in a clear and firm voice, "When the beast tide comes, I will let everyone stay away from the terrifying beasts, stay away The danger of everything."

"it is good."

Li picked up the wine glass on the table and touched him lightly.

The sound of the collision was pleasant, piercing the torrent of time, leaving behind the bloody glare of the cold season, and just stumbling towards the future.
