Beginning Backpack [Farming]

The rainy season has passed for a long time, and the heat has dissipated a little. In the morning, the valley is still covered with a mist like a clear gauze, and the stream fish jump out of the water with white waves splashing. Even the smallest group of cubs have the idea of ​​going into the water to catch one.

Taking advantage of the coolness in the early morning, Shen Huaijin moved out the cooked soybeans that had been fermented for several days from the storage room. The outer wall of the sealed jar was still warm to the touch, which showed that it had been fermented in place.

When I opened it, the soybeans that had been steamed and softened at the beginning had now turned into a big lump, only the top layer still retained the original shape of the beans, and when I stirred it with chopsticks, it was full of sticky white strands .

Shen Huaijin poured the beans in the jar into the large basin one by one, then sprinkled in an appropriate amount of salt and stirred evenly.

With the action of stirring, the white salt grains are wrapped in the beans and disappear, and the drawing effect becomes more obvious, which shows that the fermentation process is very smooth.

After fully stirring evenly, Shen Huaijin poured in the cool baikai, patiently stirred up all the bean lumps, covered the pot with two layers of gauze, and placed it under the first-dew sunlight to allow it to undergo secondary fermentation.

The other side of the stream also gradually became lively, some made fires and cooked meals, some washed food and washed clothes, what's more, Ling and Ji, two little radish heads, each carrying a pointed wooden stick, were stepping on the shallow stream and waiting. spearfish.

Li Zheng happened to come to ask Shen Huaijin to have a meal. Seeing this scene, he couldn't help being dumbfounded. After a long time, he said with emotion: "Nowadays, the cubs are really bolder than each other. They dare to go into the water even if they can't even hold my thigh."

The faces of the cubs are still childish, but they put on a serious look, and with the trousers rolled up, the calves soaked in the water are as round as lotus root joints, and they look really cute.After all, there were so many adult orcs and sub-beasts watching over them, and nothing would happen. Shen Huaijin was happy to see their efforts and serious actions, "That's right, I have the same demeanor as I did back then."

He snorted sharply, and joked: "It is indeed much better than Ye and the others."

Ye Zheng was the little brat who used to cry a lot and wanted Shen Huaijin to be his partner. Now that he has grown a lot, he is most annoyed when people talk about his crying experience.However, Li is so narrow-minded, and always teases the other party when he is alone, so that Ye was chased and punished by his Yafu all over the valley for "disrespecting the leader" several times.

Thinking of the cub's embarrassment at that time, Shen Huaijin also smiled wickedly. He gently nudged the orc's strong belly behind him with his elbow, and said with a smile: "Stop bullying Ye in the future, this cub is stupid, always explain I don't know, I don't know how many times he was scolded by his father because of this."

"Ye cried a lot when he was young, but when he grows up, he tends to be impatient. I'm just training him."

"Don't think that I don't know your little thoughts. Didn't you just say that you want to be my partner? You have held grudges with this bastard for so long." Shen Huaijin turned around and gave him a blank look, then tugged at the other party's arm, "Go Now, go back to eat."

The silver-haired orc raised his eyebrows, and was led away happily.

Hot and sour powder, custard, and some fresh lotus seeds and berries have been neatly arranged on the stone table.The hot and sour noodles are piled full, with minced meat, green leafy vegetables and diced radish on top, green onions and bright red peppers are spread on the surface, which is very attractive.

Shen Huaijin felt his index finger twitch just by smelling the fragrance. He gave Li a look, "Li, your cooking skills are really getting better and better." Next, stir the noodles with chopsticks.

The fog in the mountains was blown away, and the sun became fierce. While eating hot and refreshing, Shen Huaijin had to wipe off his sweat. The movements became faster and faster, and the bowl of hot and sour noodles soon bottomed out.

Li was still in a turmoil, so he couldn't help but wash his face first, and then returned to the stone table to pick up lotus seeds to eat after regaining his refreshment.You don’t need to remove the heart of the tender lotus seeds that have been peeled off, just eat them whole. They are crispy and sweet when chewed, and they are very greasy.

As the sun hung high, the tribal members on the other side of the stream were basically full and gathered together to start working.

Shen Huaijin sat under the tree, eating lotus seeds happily, and saw the other side started to get busy.Everyone has basically built the main structure and four walls of the house. Even the two rooms in Shen Huaijin's place have been arranged early. Today, they are busy laying tiles, but the actions seem to be a little rusty.

Seeing this, Shen Huaijin sternly said to those who had just finished eating: "Li, we don't seem to have anything else to do today, why don't we go to the other side of the stream to help lay tiles together."

"Okay, that's what I think too." Li nodded without hesitation, "Go and help me first, I'll go over after finishing the livestock here."

Hearing this, Shen Huaijin didn't delay, took her tools and went to the other side.When they were at a loss, they were very excited when they saw Shen Huaijin approaching, and dragged him to pour out bitter water, "Jin, we remember that you said that the tiles should be placed on the front side, and then buckled on the other side. But if you really want to put it up, you feel that nothing is right!"

Shen Huaijin was swayed back and forth by a few big hands, begging for mercy repeatedly: "Don't worry, don't worry, I'm here!"

He glanced at the surrounding roofs, and the wooden structure on it was already complete, so he didn't need to worry about it.

Shen Huaijin looked away, and told the people around: "Go and dig some wet soil, and find some dead grass stalks, there will be more."

As soon as everyone heard this, their legs and feet moved quickly, and they found something according to Shen Huaijin's words.

Shen Huaijin and everyone mixed the soil and hay stalks together, and explained along the way, "This is used to make the mud back on the watchboard, and it can play the role of waterproof and heat preservation."

After the mud is reconciled, everyone hands it to the roof, and then the person on the top spreads it evenly.This time, although there was no help from the longhorn beast, but there were many people, everyone set up a small high platform next to the house, let a middleman stand on it, and then passed it from one person to another, just like this, the mud was sent up continuously.

When the time came, everyone was sweating profusely, and the scene was already very orderly. He walked to the side of Shen Huaijin who was the supervisor, and said, "Jin, with your help, everyone got started really quickly."

Seeing his figure, Shen Huaijin's eyes lit up, and said: "It just so happens that you are here, watch for me for a while, I'll go get the sun-dried lotus cores to soak in water for everyone to drink."

Ann, who was passing by, heard it, and hurriedly said: "We also have some over there, let's soak them in water together."

"Okay." Shen Huaijin said with a smile, "I'm just worried that I don't have enough."

Although there were a lot of lotus pods picked that day, there were only a few suitable old lotus cores. In addition, they shrunk a lot after drying. Use too much.

Shen Huaijin went back to the house to get the lotus cores, and boiled some boiling water by the way, let it cool down a bit, and soaked the lotus cores gathered by everyone.

The yellow-green lotus core undulates up and down in the hot water, and the tender yellow color will gradually overflow, and you can also smell a clear and astringent fragrance.

Shen Huaijin called some people over to help him move several buckets of tea to the opposite bank.More than a dozen cups are also placed on the side. Everyone is not afraid to share tea sets. Anyone who feels thirsty can just scoop up a cup and drink it.

The tea made from lotus core smells astringent but tastes astringent, only slightly bitter and the fragrance of lotus seeds.For the orcs and sub-beasts who are sweating profusely, they only know that the water has the effect of clearing away heat and reducing fire, and they don't know how to taste it carefully.

Under Shen Huaijin's strict order, everyone went home to rest for a while at noon, and only came out to continue working in the afternoon when the heat wave on the ground was no longer so turbulent.In this way, I hurried and hurried, and finally covered the mud back in the evening.

It just so happened that after the mud back was paved, it needed time to dry. Shen Huaijin patted her palms to attract everyone's attention and told everyone that it would be laying tiles the next day.

After a busy day, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the words. After saying hello to each other, they went back to each house to light the fire and make meals.

Shen Huaijin and Li were also a little muddy and embarrassed. He stretched his waist, regardless of whether it was dirty or not, put half of his body on the silver-haired orc, and stumbled all the way back to the other side of the stream.

It was rare to work all day under the sun, Shen Huaijin didn't have much appetite, and he had a casual dinner, just when he was about to wash up and rest early, he heard a sharp laughter, "I caught it!"

Shen Huaijin took a closer look and found that it was Ling.

Immediately afterwards, Ji's voice came, "I caught it too!"

It turned out that the two cubs had been brooding all day because they failed to catch fish in the morning, so they slipped to the stream from time to time to try. After working hard all day, they finally got results at night.

Shen Huaijin and Li Xiang glanced at each other, couldn't help laughing out loud, he quietly walked around behind the two excited boys, and said abruptly, "What are you doing?!"

"Oh!" The two cubs were taken aback, almost unable to catch the fish in their hands, and they were relieved when they turned around and saw that it was Shen Huaijin, "Jin, why are you scaring us!"

Shen Huaijin guessed the little Jiujiu in their hearts by looking at their expressions, each gave a brain collapse, and said with a smile: "Don't think I won't complain, it's so late, and there are no adults around, how dare you come to the water yourself play here?"

Ling rubbed his forehead, pouted and whispered, "Isn't Jin here..." Seeing that Shen Huaijin was unmoved, he tried his best to blink his big round eyes, and looked at Shen Huaijin sincerely, "Jin, you must We are not willing to be beaten, and we will not file a complaint."

Just when Shen Huaijin was shaken by this look, a stern voice came from behind, "But I'm willing."

The two cubs looked at each other, knowing that something was wrong, they immediately burst into tears, and in the end they were carried back to each house by Li Yishou.

Ling and Ji were reluctant to hold the fruit of a day's hard work in their arms, and when they were held by the back of the neck, they still hugged the fish tightly, which happened to be conclusive evidence.

The cub ran while screaming, startled the hut that had been dimmed, causing everyone to poke their heads and laugh, and the atmosphere inside and outside the tribe was full of joy.
