Beginning Backpack [Farming]

The morning sun was not dry, and it wrinkled the thin water in the rice fields, making Shen Huaijin feel refreshed and at ease.

Two days ago, he mentioned the banknotes with other people in the tribe, and he was thinking about how to make suitable banknotes, and also achieve a certain defensive function.

The preliminary plan is to use plant juice to dye ordinary paper into blue, then design and engrave a seal that can represent the amount and a seal that represents himself, and finally stamp them on the blue paper.

This kind of anti-counterfeiting method is far worse than what Shen Huaijin is familiar with, but as far as it is concerned, it can still be handled.

Just as he was starting to carve the pottery seal, An hurried over from the other side of the stream, with a worried look on his face, and he spoke very fast, "Jin, go and have a look, the rice seedlings in the rice fields are all yellow !"

Shen Huaijin trembled in fright at An's voice, thinking that something serious had happened, and after hearing what he said, she shook her head and smiled helplessly, explaining: "An, the seedlings will indeed turn yellow for a while after being transplanted into the rice fields. Yes, it will turn green in a few days, you don't have to worry too much."

He glanced at An, his eyes full of helplessness, "Didn't you occasionally come for a walk when I planted rice last water season, why did you even forget about it?"

"Ah?" An dazedly touched the back of his head, tried to recall for a while, and then clapped his hands suddenly, "Yeah, why did I forget about this?"

He smiled embarrassingly, "The other sub-beasts came to me just now, saying that the seedlings were all yellow when they woke up, but I was shocked, and came to you in a hurry without thinking much."

Shen Huaijin nodded knowingly, "It's understandable. When I planted rice for the first time, I was very nervous, fearing that something bad would happen. But the seedlings will turn green soon, so you can rest assured."

He put down his hand to carve a seal with the beginning, stood up and looked at the rice field on the other side, "The important thing now is to make a few scarecrows and plant them in the field before the seedlings start earing, so as to prevent birds from coming to peck the seedlings that are about to bear fruit." tassel."

"I know that." An Hehe smiled, with a proud look on his pretty face, looking childish, and he couldn't tell his real age at all, "Is it the ones you planted in your field?"

"Yeah." Shen Huaijin was affected by his emotions, and his tone was very brisk, "You just pull one out of my field first, and then plant some in the field with everyone, just as a precaution. There are not many birds in the valley anyway.”

"Okay!" Anli agreed, and ran excitedly to the ridge of the field, leaned forward and pulled out a scarecrow, picked it up and left, "Jin, then I'll go first."

Shen Huaijin waved to him and watched him cross the other bank of the stream, but she didn't have the heart to continue carving the seal, so she put it away temporarily and got up to pick bamboo.

Since banknotes are to be issued, the first step must be to create distinctive green paper.

Shen Huaijin broke the hoarded old bamboo into bamboo strips, and soaked them all in lime water according to the old method to speed up the greening process.

This time not only green paper needs to be made, but ordinary writing paper and toilet paper also need to be replenished, so he piled up two pools of bamboo strips.

Papermaking is a relatively lengthy process. It needs to go through the steps of killing greens, steaming bamboo, pounding bamboo, swinging materials into the curtain, covering the curtain and pressing paper, and drying paper. It is troublesome to watch the fire while steaming bamboo. .If possible, Shen Huaijin hopes to make enough at one time.

He forgot the time in his busy schedule, and after he soaked the two pools of bamboo, it would be getting late, and Li Ye came back with the large army that built the city wall.

As the construction progresses, the two city walls are closed in sight, and everyone can clearly see this change, so they are very excited recently. There is little fatigue on the face, and the way they walk looks very brisk.

Li walked with everyone, with a serious expression on his face, but when the tall man turned around and looked at him, he couldn't help but curl his lips, and his pace was a little faster, hoping to leave as soon as possible to the other side.

It's a pity that Shen Huaijin mercilessly stretched out his fingers against the silver-haired orc who was trying to give him a bear hug, "Smelly." He said concisely.

"Ah." He opened his mouth sharply, against the warm light of the setting sun, he obviously didn't have much expression on his face, which made Shen Huaijin feel a hint of grievance, "You also sweated today..."

It's a pity that Shen Huaijin didn't follow him, shrugged and said, "So hurry up and wash off together, and reward yourself with something delicious at night."

"It doesn't stink too much." Li muttered, walking slowly towards their hut with Shen Huaijin.

The setting sun stretched their hand in hand for a very long time.The shadows chased on the ground, and gradually overlapped everything, looking intimate.

Shen Huaijin used the bathroom first.After changing into clean clothes, he walked out of the room covered in clear moisture, and wiped his hair in the remaining warm sun.

The cool water drops fell on the mud, splashing symmetrical dark traces, like blossoming lotus leaves on the surface of the lake.

"Lotus leaves..." Shen Huaijin murmured, thinking that the center of the lake in the wetland has never been set foot, and there are countless lotus seeds and roots waiting to be developed there.

Just as he was thinking about when he could go to the wetland to see the lotus flowers, and how to pick lotus seeds and roots by the way, a big hand from behind interrupted his thoughts.

Li took the cloth towel, gently wiped Shen Huaijin's wet long hair, and combed it patiently.

Shen Huaijin was being manipulated like a large doll, and couldn't help turning her head to look behind Li.

I saw that the other party's silver hair was also wet against his head, but he didn't attract the owner's attention at all.All Li's thoughts were on him, and he wiped his hair seriously, with a very obedient appearance, without any majesty and self-restraint in front of other orcs.

Shen Huaijin turned her head back, the corners of her lips slightly raised behind the cloth scarf.

After wiping his long hair until it was eighty-nine percent dry, Li Cai devoted some thought to himself.He just took the used cloth towel and rubbed it casually on his head a few times, then brushed all the messy silver hair behind his head, revealing aggressive eyebrows and eyes.

As soon as he spoke, the cold demeanor disappeared, "Jin, what delicious food did you just say you wanted?"

After being busy for so long during the day, and having been rubbing his head with gentle movements for so long, Shen Huaijin was already a little sleepy, he yawned, and managed to pull himself together, "It's not too late to drink the wine brewed before." Not much, the remaining distiller's grains are full of fragrance, and they are actually good things, I plan to use them to cook glutinous rice dumplings today, it should be a good dessert."

"Why do you look so sleepy?" Li put his shoulder on his shoulder in a funny way, and rubbed his tall nose against his white side face, "The newborn cubs in the tribe don't love to sleep as much as you do."

His tone was full of ridicule, but his heart was full of joy. He felt that although Shen Huaijin in front of him looked like a grown man, no matter how he looked at it, he couldn't help but want to squeeze it.

Seeing his rippling appearance, how could Shen Huaijin still not understand what he was thinking, so she kicked him jokingly, "Don't make me sticky again, hurry up and make some soup, steam a custard, Sweet potatoes. We are tired today, so we split up so that we can finish eating early and rest early."

Li is quite familiar with these things, and when he heard the words, he lit a fire and started cooking.

Shen Huaijin hummed a song, took some white and fine glutinous rice flour from the house, poured it into a basin, then poured warm water in batches, stirring while pouring.

After repeated kneading, the dough finally became smooth and not sticky, and the flour in the basin was completely wiped out.

Shen Huaijin took another large disc and sprinkled some dry glutinous rice flour on it to prevent the discs that were put on it from sticking to each other.

He shook the dough twice, picked out a small piece from the corner, and rolled it onto a clean board with a little restraint, and it became a round, white and tender ball.

The rubbed balls are stacked one by one on the plate, forming a soft hill, which makes people feel happy when they look at it.

Shen Huaijin poured clean water into the pot, boiled the water and poured in all the balls.When they are almost ripe, the dumplings become much more translucent and puffy, and float to the surface of the water neatly, tumbling in the boiling water vapor.

After adding cold water and boiling again, Shen Huaijin put in sweet fermented glutinous rice and appropriate amount of sugar and slowly mixed it. The aroma of fermented glutinous rice diffused with the water vapor, making it mouth-watering.

Shen Huaijin took a deep breath of the intoxicating aroma, and crushed the sugar at the bottom to speed up its melting.After the ingredients in the pot were perfectly blended, he evenly poured the beaten egg liquid into the pot with a colander, stirred it with chopsticks to form a beautiful egg flower shape, and chopped some cooked chestnuts into it.

With the addition of ingredients, the boiling in the pot was suppressed a bit, but the mixed aroma lingered for a long time.

When the pot boiled again, Shen Huaijin turned off the fire, sprinkled some dried peach blossoms into the pot, and waited for it to cool naturally.

He looked to the side, and saw that Li Ye was adding salt to the soup in an orderly manner, and after tasting the taste, he turned off the fire and sprinkled chopped green onions in peace.

Realizing Shen Huaijin's attention, Li hurriedly brought the soup in front of him, and looked at him as if asking for credit.

When the lid is opened, the aroma comes out. The fish soup in the pot has a beautiful milky white color, dotted with emerald green onion, which is very attractive.

Shen Huaijin was not stingy with her praise, "Li, your cooking skills have improved, this fish soup looks really good."

The silver-haired orc nodded reservedly, "You'd better teach me."

"It just so happens that my Jiuniang Yuanzi is also ready." Shen Huaijin blinked her eyes, full of expectation, "Let's go, let's move these over."

Before he finished speaking, Li had already brought a large can of fish soup and steamed food and put them all on the stone table, and Shen Huaijin also brought out the freshly cooked rice balls.

The breeze was blowing, and the falling leaves were colorful, and the intoxicating fragrance of the wine was frequently sent to the noses of the two.

Shen Huaijin couldn't help speeding up his meal. After drinking the last sip of fish soup in the bowl, he enthusiastically filled Li and himself with a bowl of rice balls made of wine.

After cooling, the balls are more crystal clear, mixed with turmeric chestnut meat and pink peach blossom, it makes people's index fingers move.Shen Huaijin took a large spoonful and put it into his mouth, the aroma of the wine filled his mouth instantly.

After brewing for a long time, the glutinous rice is very soft, and the traces are almost gone when the lips and teeth are pressed, leaving only the mellow aroma and flowery rhyme that splashes around.The glutinous rice balls are soft and soft, absorbing enough alcohol and sweetness, and it is very good for killing time when chewing slowly.

Shen Huaijin scooped and chewed carefully, with the same movement range on both sides of his face.

Li finished the rest of the food on the table, and picked up the Jiuniang Yuanzi to taste. He thought it was destined to be another dessert that he was not interested in, but when he tasted it, he was really surprised.

"The wine taste is not strong, but the wine is full of fragrance." He made some rare comments, and tried hard to describe, "And I don't know why, even though the wine taste is so strong, the taste of chestnut meat and peach blossom is still preserved."

"I like it, then I will make more to eat in the future."

Shen Huaijin raised one eyebrow and grinned very proudly.
