Beginning Backpack [Farming]

The footsteps of the bad season are getting closer and closer, and the early morning wind has brought some damp and cold breath.After Shen Huaijin woke up, she carefully stepped over the orc who was still asleep beside her, and put on a coat before she dared to go out, in case she caught a cold.

The valley is quiet, and there is still a layer of light mist. Take a deep breath, and your heart is filled with the cool and ripe fruit and rice breath.

After washing, Shen Huaijin took the tools, walked to the side of the pumpkin shelf without haste, took some tender pumpkin vines, and planned to use them to stir-fry a refreshing side dish.

There are still a lot of old vines hanging on the shelf, these are not suitable for cooking, and they can be used together with straw as feed for polyhair animals in the cold season.

Probably the sound of the courtyard door opening and closing woke up Li who was still asleep just now. The orc rubbed his silver hair and came out of the wing yawning.

Seeing his tired face, Shen Huaijin felt distressed, frowned and said, "Did I wake you up? Li, go back and rest for a while."

Orcs consume an astonishing amount of energy on weekdays, and they need longer sleep time. Like other orcs in the tribe, they will wake up much later, but Li has been moving towards Shen Huaijin's biological clock.

"No, anyway, the cold season is approaching, and there will be plenty of time for me to rest." Li casually rubbed his face, brushing back the wet silver hair on his forehead, revealing extremely aggressive eyebrows and eyes.

But when he wiped off all the drops of water on his face, he showed Shen Huaijin a reassuring smile.

"Jin, what's for breakfast this morning?"

"Fresh pumpkin vines." Shen Huaijin raised the bamboo basket in his hand, raised his chin towards him, and said softly, "In this case, come in with me to cook, and go to inspect when you are full."

"Okay." Li stretched his waist and followed Shen Huaijin into the kitchen.

Before the thatched hut was demolished, the things stored inside were moved to the kitchen.Now the tableware, ingredients and various seasonings are all available, and the whole kitchen is piled up to the brim.The two also built a washbasin with cement, with a bamboo crossing at the top to automatically deliver water, and a sewage channel at the bottom, saving the trouble of carrying water in and out.

Li followed Shen Huaijin, put the bamboo basket on the edge of the sink, took out the pumpkin vines in it, rinsed it under running water, removed the leaves and old stems from the vines, and tore off the fluff of the pumpkin vine skin.

The two stood side by side, next to each other.The meager sunlight in the morning shines on them gently through the glass, and time seems to slow down.

Shen Huaijin suddenly asked: "Li, do we still have a lot of rice left?"

Without hesitation, Li said, "Four baskets of rice and six baskets of glutinous rice."

really.

The two of them were originally afraid that they would not be able to sustain the harvest if they opened up their appetites, so the dosage has been relatively sparing, and they usually eat vermicelli and the like, but when the end came, they found that there was a lot left.

"Then let's steam rice this morning." Shen Huaijin chose the leaves and suggested, "Old rice is not tasty, so I will only save some for emergencies in the future, so I won't save so much."

"Okay." Li shook off his hands, washed the rice from the rice bag beside him, and planned to steam the rice.

Just in time to clean all the pumpkin vines, Shen Huaijin made room for him, took the pumpkin vines to the stove, took off the chopping board, reached into the basket next to it, and brought three cloves of old garlic and four sticks of red Peppers are crushed and finely chopped.

Li lit the fire, steamed rice in one stove, and burned animal oil in the other pot.Shen Huaijin sautéed minced garlic and chili on high heat until fragrant, then quickly poured in pumpkin vines and stir-fried until raw, sprinkled with some fine salt and a little soy sauce and served.

While the base oil was not exhausted, Shen Huaijin fried some wild bird eggs.

The bright yellow egg liquid sizzled as soon as it fell into the hot oil pan, and the edges shriveled.

Shen Huaijin stir-fried lightly, and the egg liquid quickly took shape. After being wrapped in animal oil, it looked golden and oily, and the aroma came out.

The kitchen window was wide open, and the breeze passed through, spreading the aroma of the vegetables to the opposite bank, and the Dahe Tribe woke up in this mouth-watering aroma.

Shen Huaijin glanced at the other side, which was getting lively, and poured out the delicious scrambled eggs from the pot.

The two moved the food to the stone table in the yard together, and Shen Huaijin searched the kitchen again, only to find that there were no pickled side dishes in the house.In desperation, he had no choice but to take out two salted bird eggs and a jar of bald butter.

I steamed a large pot of rice, covered part of it with butter and bibimbap, and ate the rest with vegetables.

The rice was steamed crystal clear, just right, and steaming hot. Shen Huaijin carefully scooped two spoonfuls of bald butter and poured it on the rice, and the orange-red crab oil soaked down the well-defined grains of rice.

At this time, use a spoon to stir the boiled crab roe and crab paste into the boiling rice, gently stir and roll.The two phases blend, and each grain of rice is covered with a layer of oily orange-red color.

Shen Huaijin scooped up a large spoon, and the smell of crab came to his face. The soft and glutinous rice paired with mellow and fresh bald butter was the ultimate enjoyment for the taste buds.

Shen Huaijin ate the whole night's bibimbap every few mouthfuls, and then took the refreshing pumpkin vine to relieve the tiredness, which was just right.

Li Ye finished eating the bibimbap in one go, and then swept away the rest of the food on the table.

The two sat lazily under the tree, each rubbing their stomachs to digest food, until the morning fog completely dissipated and the golden light shone on the earth.

Shen Huaijin got up and stretched her body, patted Li on the shoulder, and said, "Then you go to inspect, I will discuss with An and the others about drying the millet."

Li dragged him to the front, rubbed him sticky for a few more times, got up and tied his long hair again, and then walked out of the yard step by step.

Makes it a little funny.

Seeing that the sun was just right, Shen Huaijin quickly went out of the yard to find An and the others, preparing to dry the rice as soon as possible.

When he rushed to the other side of the stream, he found that the orcs and the orcs had almost prepared the matter. Most of the rice had been transported from the field to the square, and everyone was busy pouring out the rice and spreading it out.

The square has dried rice once before, but for the sake of cleanliness, it was dried on bamboo rafts that time.Since then, everyone has been very far-sighted to repair the land, and now it is not a problem to directly dry the rice, but the amount of millet has increased a lot, and the current square cannot be filled at one time.

Shen Huaijin picked up the rice rake on the side, and spread out the wet rice together with everyone, and said to An who was beside him while raking: "An, there is not enough land in the square for drying, so don't force it if there is more." It’s down here. You follow me to get the bamboo rafts later, and if you share some of the rice, it can dry faster.”

An wiped the perspiration from his forehead, and sighed, "I didn't think the square was small, but now it's used to dry the millet. It's really not enough."

"Trouble," he howled.

Shen Huaijin smiled at him comfortingly, and said softly: "It's okay, after you move your things out of the thatched cottage, the nearby houses will be demolished and repaired, the square will be bigger."

When it came to moving, An thought of their brand new and fully functional new house and the courtyard that could be put to good use, and her mood brightened immediately, and she smiled, "Jin, you're right, just trouble this time gone."

After laying a thin layer of fresh rice on the square, there is still a lot left.Listening to Shen Huaijin's words, several people collected the stocks of each family, took a lot of bamboo rafts, and spliced ​​these old and new bamboo rafts of different sizes together to make "sun valleys" scattered everywhere.Then dump the millet on the bamboo raft, rake it evenly and turn it over.

Seeing the scene where the ground is golden and the sun is pouring on the ground, although everyone is physically tired, their hearts are satisfied.

But before he could rest for a long time, he heard a loud and long voice from the side, "Dig potatoes!"

Shen Huaijin and An looked at each other helplessly.

Although they were already a little tired, the two still took their hoes and led the others to the potato field in time, digging up the large piece of potatoes with all their heart.

Digging potatoes and squatting for a long time is tiring, but fortunately, there are familiar people around. In the end, everyone sat down on the muddy ground without any scruples.

Holding the bottom of the hoe, Shen Huaijin dug down the exposed stems of the potatoes little by little, and brought out one after another, round and fat potatoes.

Because of the sensitive timing, Li expanded the scope of inspection by a full circle until half morning, leading the orcs back. After entering the city gate, with his excellent eyesight, he saw Shen Huaijin sitting on the ground pawing the soil in a different form than usual, full of satisfaction. The body is dirty, and there are cubs running around screaming around, and I don't know if they are helping or making trouble.

What's more terrible is that the beast deed in the forehead dutifully conveys to him the joy in Shen Huaijin's heart at the moment.

Li quickly walked a few steps to the edge of the potato field, seeing all the people in the tribe pawing the mud with silly smiles on their faces, and finally couldn't help asking: "Are you really working?"

"That's right! Isn't that what it is!" Shen Huaijin happened to shovel out another potato, grabbed it off and held it in his hand, sat and looked at him, with a bright smile on his face, and said, "Come and help."

Li was finally defeated by Shen Huaijin's eyes, rolled up his sleeves helplessly, moved a little and sat down beside him, resigned to his fate and joined the sloppy but secretive and happy potato digging team.

Everyone seemed to be having fun, but the action was still very fast.Everyone was moving their positions little by little, and baskets of heavy fruits were placed beside them.
