Beginning Backpack [Farming]

The preparations for rice and potatoes before planting are very simple. The former is dried in the sun and then soaked in cold water, while the latter is cut into pieces and then germinated.

In order to let everyone have a sense of participation, Shen Huaijin specially divided the seeds into small portions, and asked each household to take some back to germinate independently, and see which family has the best effect at that time.

Everyone lined up to plant seeds one by one. These foods that can usually be eaten in one meal were held in the palm of their hands, pouring their heavy expectations.

Seeing this situation, Shen Huaijin will inevitably think of the children in modern life who are asked by their teachers to grow their own plants, and she is the life teacher who never tires of it.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help curling the corners of his lips and curling his eyes, revealing a silent and gentle smile.

She glanced at him sharply, and was a little infected by his joy, raised her eyebrows and asked, "Jin, why are you so happy all of a sudden?"

Shen Huaijin shook her head with a smile, "It's nothing, I just feel that everyone is working hard to live and the future is full of hope, so my heart suddenly lightens up."

The orc put his shoulders on his shoulders, bent his upper body slightly, the muscles at the shoulder blades bulged beautifully, and a wild face approached a little closer, and whispered in a soft voice: "I also worked very hard, usually you have to be more correct I smile."

Before Shen Huaijin could say anything, the orcs lining up over there howled loudly, "Li, why are you talking like this, it's so ridiculous."

Frowning tightly, she made a gesture to kick these presumptuous boys, but was stopped by Shen Huaijin Xuxu.The silver-haired orc glared at the group of boys, who were so frightened that they stopped laughing and dodged and did not dare to look back.

"What do you beastmen without a partner know?" He threatened, but Shen Huaijin saw that he was already blushing and half covered his ears under his silver hair.

Shen Huaijin coughed a little, trying to hide the smile in her tone, "It's all right, stop making trouble, everyone quickly took the seeds back to cook, we have to dig out the rice fields before we can successfully germinate."

Everyone responded one after another, took their own seeds and went home.

After that, we took some time and everyone came to dig the rice fields together.About [-] mu of land was divided into two pieces, of which [-] mu was used to grow rice, [-] mu was used to grow potatoes, and another piece of land was simply set aside for rice seedlings.

Following the instructions, everyone built ridges, dug ditches, and followed Shen Huaijin to cut bamboo and build bamboo roads.

Shen Huaijin tied the half-split bamboo bodies together and put them on the Y-shaped wooden branches, explaining: "The rice needs water most of the time during the growth process, and the water is diverted by bamboo channels and ditches. It will make future irrigation much easier."

Thinking of their chat two days ago, Yan asked curiously: "Jin, didn't you say that you planned to build a waterwheel? Why did you choose the bamboo road in the end? Is there any difficulty?"

"The difficulty of the waterwheel is indeed higher than that of the bamboo road." Shen Huaijin did not shy away, telling the truth, "I have also considered it, one is that the bamboo road can get rid of manpower and save a lot of labor; the other is that it takes time to build the waterwheel, and I am afraid that I will not be able to keep up with it. The planting time of this water season, let’s save it for later.”

"That's good." Yan nodded, "It's just that when watering, the bamboo path has to change its position frequently."

It is said that there is only [-] mu of land, but it actually takes up a lot of land at first glance. In order to facilitate management and distribution of work at that time, the [-] mu of rice fields are divided into ten pieces, separated by high ridges.

It is not surprising that Yan has such concerns.

He stroked his forehead sharply, with a helpless expression on his face, "It's not enough to dig out the ridges when watering."

"..." Yan choked for a moment, frowned and pushed the silver-haired orc aside, "Fight your bamboo."

The orcs looked at Li Shi's deflated expression with interest.

Shen Huaijin also finds it funny, he can be counted as someone who has traveled through several tribes and contacted traveling merchants, he can clearly feel the difference of the Dahe tribe, there are not too many class distinctions here, the leaders and witches are more integrated and "close to the people" Compared with those tribes that hold their leaders and great witches aloof, Shen Huaijin prefers this feeling of harmony and intimacy.

The silver-haired orc whispered, "Jin, even you laugh at me."

"Good boy." Shen Huaijin patted him on the shoulder, and said warmly, "Hurry up and go to work, I'll cook something delicious for you tonight."

"I want to eat stewed pheasant with mushrooms and rice with braised pork." Li ordered food on the spot without holding back.

"Hey! Li, you are going too far!" The people on the side expressed their dissatisfaction one after another, "It's fine to eat what I have, why do you want to tell us to make us greedy!"

Everyone spoke in words, but their actions were very orderly, and the matter was quickly settled, and Shen Huaijin checked and accepted it.The clear stream flows down the bamboo path, moistening the rice fields little by little, and then merges into a thin layer of water, reflecting the blue sky.

"Not bad." Shen Huaijin praised, and added: "When the water in the paddy field is almost full, just move the nearest section of the bamboo body, and let the stream flowing down go back to the stream along the ditch, so that it will not be too difficult. As for making the ground muddy."

"Understood." Everyone said loudly.

An was still a little surprised, "I don't know why, it's obviously a very simple thing, why didn't we think of it before?"

Shen Huaijin smiled slightly and didn't take credit for it, "After all, there was no need to farm the land before. There is a saying in my hometown called "True knowledge comes from practice", which means that no matter what you really try, you can truly master it. And understanding. I believe that as the River Tribe goes deep into doing and understanding these things, slowly, we will come up with more such methods ourselves.”

"But it all comes from what you taught us, Jin." Yan insisted, with a serious expression on his face.

Shen Huaijin looked at everyone, and half-jokingly said: "Then I hope that you can learn faster, and then I will leave all the work to you. It is best for me to eat and drink tea lightly."

Everyone laughed heartily, but Li Que put his shoulders on his shoulders again, his eyes were also serious, "I will let you live a relaxed and happy life."

Amidst the messy laughter, Shen Huaijin stared back, her voice penetrated the background sound, gentle and clear, "Okay."

After tidying up the rice fields, Shen Huaijin and Li took the allocated animal meat and went back to the other side of the stream hand in hand. When they were feeding the animals, they found that Baa Baa in the animal pen had just given birth to two hairy cubs and was licking them. blood on them.

Visible to the naked eye, the hairs of the two cubs became white and fluffy. After a while, they stood up tremblingly, walked half a circle along the animal pen tentatively, and appeared timid when approaching other hairy animals. Slowly moved back to Baa-baa, bent down to suck the beast's milk.

Shen Huaijin and Li both had experience, especially Shen Huaijin was no longer in a hurry like last year, and instead had a look of surprise on his face.For fear of disturbing the weak and timid little ones, he only said in a low voice: "Li, you go get a bamboo board to isolate them, and I'll boil some hot water for them."

After saying this, the two of them got busy.After a while, Baa Baa and the two cubs were isolated in a corner of the animal pen, and fresh grass and warm clean water were placed beside it to recuperate the body of the female animal after giving birth.

Shen Huaijin looked at the cubs who had drank their milk and fell asleep peacefully, with a look of relief on their faces, "In this way, the sub-beasts who ate the holy beast fruit last year are not far away from giving birth."

After thinking for a while, Li asked: "During this time, the hairy beasts should also pass by the valley, do you want to catch some female beasts to milk them?"

The milk of the hairy beast is of high quality, which is just right for the newborn cubs. Although they can barely make enough for them, judging from Shen Huaijin's usual practice, it should be that the cubs have been asked to drink more animal milk to supplement their nutrition Intend.Calculated in this way, it may still be a little lacking to meet the demand with four hairy beasts.

"After all, I have to save some milk for the cubs during this time, and I'm afraid I won't be able to drink enough." Shen Huaijin also thought of this problem, and "hissed" with some distress, "I originally planned to let the tribe raise animals together. For grazing, it’s a pity that in the current situation, the city wall has not been built, the houses have not been renovated, and the farming has just begun, and there is really no time left for animal husbandry.”

"How about this." Li suggested, "I'll catch a few female beasts this water season first, to make up for the gap during this period, and when the newborn cubs can eat meat, we should slaughter the extra hairy beasts. Eat what the slaughter should eat, and there is no need to specially expand the animal pen. When the next water season, the tribe will raise the animals together, and you don't need to worry too much, how about it?"

"It's a good suggestion. Anyway, these old ones won't run away. It's enough to spend some time grazing." Shen Huaijin made a final decision, "Just do as you say."

They had been busy for almost a day, and the two of them cleaned up and started dinner. Shen Huaijin didn't think too much about it. Anyway, he just followed Li's order, making wild bird stewed mushrooms and braised pork.

There are no fresh mushrooms nowadays, but there are quite a lot of dried mushrooms that have just been sun-dried. Shen Huaijin picks some to soak, and picks out the fat and thin parts from the allocated animal meat, and starts cooking.

He washes the animal meat and cuts it into chunks for later use. He puts ginger, garlic and other seasonings into a hot pan and sautés the oil until fragrant, then pours in the prepared animal meat and stir-fries until both sides are slightly browned. Then he adds soy sauce and sugar cubes. Stir-fry repeatedly so that each piece of animal meat can be colored with sugar.

The fat in the animal meat is boiled at high temperature, and mixed with the sugar color, the meat looks extra oily and attractive.

When Shen Huaijin saw that it was in place, he poured boiling water into it until all the meat was covered, then boiled it on high heat, skimmed off the foam on it, then turned to low heat to simmer to make it soft and tasty.

As soon as Shen Huaijin closed the lid, Li Ye handed over the cleaned and blanched wild bird meat.

Shen Huaijin also sauteed the seasoning with hot oil, stir-fried the wild bird meat until the meat was oily yellow and the skin shrank, then sprinkled in an appropriate amount of salt and licorice powder, poured in the soaked mushrooms and boiled water submerged in the ingredients, and cooked over high heat. After boiling, turn down the heat and simmer.

The braised pork is thickened by the fire, making it more viscous and soft, while the wild bird stewed mushroom soup has some golden oil particles floating in it. You can imagine the delicious taste just by smelling it twice.

Both pots of delicious food were served on the stone table, together with the fragrant rice steamed by Li Zhongzhong, the steaming heat made the warm colors of the evening extraordinarily gentle.

Shen Huaijin took a piece of bright red braised pork and pressed it on the soft rice, poked it with chopsticks, and pulled it lightly, revealing the beautiful and attractive texture, and put it into the mouth together with the rice wrapped in soup.

The braised pork is fat but not greasy, soft and soft, sweet and delicious after sipping, and the rice is wrapped in soup, and the grains are distinct and oily and fragrant.

"It's ready to eat." Li Pa took two big mouthfuls of rice and praised, "It feels a little different from the braised pork that I ate before. The color is darker and it is more delicious."

"Yes, the one with soybean soy sauce will be more fragrant."

Shen Huaijin filled two bowls of soup, brought one bowl to his face, and blew away the emerald green scallions floating on it, and the golden oil particles trembled, and were swallowed along with the clear soup.

"Delicious."

Shen Huaijin smiled contentedly and rolled her eyes, finished drinking the delicious soup earnestly, and let out a carefree sigh.

This season is when the peach blossoms are just blooming and the evening breeze is cool and pleasant.

It's getting late, tired birds fly each other.He quietly watched the setting sun fall on the mountains and wilderness, and the sky was full of bright stars.

It would be a blessing if such a comfortable time can last forever.
