Beginning Backpack [Farming]

Shen Huaijin had a good night's rest, and woke up energetically the next day.It was still early, so he made some food, left a portion for Li, and ate some casually.

He was making preparations for today's sugar cooking, when he saw Shi walking over the bridge holding the animal skin.

Shi is one of the orcs who have personally experienced the great migration of the tribe. He is blind in one eye and is now old, but he has quick hands and feet and a quick mind. He is usually good at tanning leather and making stone tools.Shen Huaijin often saw him working alone in the square in the early days.

"Jin, I'll give you the animal skin in exchange for the mashed taro you asked Yu to bring yesterday." Shi said after approaching.

Shen Huaijin quickly waved his hand and refused: "Shi, yesterday's taro paste was given to you. The elderly orcs and sub-beasts in the tribe have a bowl, so you don't have to bear any burden. Take these animal skins back quickly."

Shi was very stubborn, he felt that he couldn't take Shen Huaijin's things for nothing, and he didn't want to just go back.Shen Huaijin couldn't resist him, so she had no choice but to accept the skin, thinking that the other party was a lonely old man who probably hadn't eaten breakfast yet, so she said, "Then I'll make you a bowl of custard, you can't refuse, or I won't accept your animal skin." need."

As he spoke, he pulled Shi to sit beside the wooden pier he had just placed two days ago, and Shi did not refuse this time.

Just in order to warm up the breakfast, Shen Huaijin cracked two wild bird eggs, put in salt and chopped green onion, added water, stirred them, and steamed them while the stove was still on.

While adding firewood, he said: "Shi, you are so good at making tools, maybe I will come to you for help next time, you can't refuse."

Shi Dao: "I'm just doing it casually, but if you need help, just come to me, and I will definitely find a way."

Shen Huaijin smiled.

The egg custard was cooked very quickly. Shi wiped his mouth after eating it, and felt that this food did not need to be chewed, and his stomach was warm and comfortable after eating it. When he spoke again, his tone was unconsciously softer, "Jin, Before, I didn't know whether Xiu's choice was right or wrong, but these two days, I feel that no sub-beast can do better than you."

Without waiting for Shen Huaijin's reply, he put the animal skin on the wooden pier properly after speaking, got up and left by himself.

After sending Shi away, a group of cubs came to the door again.

"Jin, we want candy too!"

When Shen Huaijin asked, she realized that the two pieces of candy she gave to Yu yesterday, the other party was reluctant to eat by herself, so she brought one piece to Rong, and shared the other piece with her friends.The cubs couldn't resist the temptation of candy, so everyone came to ask for candy.

Shen Huaijin said earnestly: "It's very troublesome to make sugar, I can't just give it to you."

Xi was very smart, and immediately understood Shen Huaijin's meaning, and hurriedly said: "Jin, we can all do things for you in exchange for sugar like Yu, is that okay?"

Only then did Shen Huaijin laugh, and said, "Of course, but there are rules for working with me. Are you willing to abide by it?"

The cubs said in unison: "Yes!"

Shen Huaijin nodded with satisfaction, and said: "There are ginger and hemp grass in the valley. These are the things I need. You can exchange them for sugar. For example, hemp grass vines, a bundle of this size." Come to the hemp vines that are standing here, "It can be exchanged for one piece of sugar. If it is ginger, one basket can be exchanged for two pieces of sugar. But I don't allow you to exchange all the hemp and ginger in the valley with me for sugar, you must Save some for the rest of the tribe. And you must be careful not to damage the ginger when you dig the ginger.”

He also wants to pick some ginger seeds and plant some by the house next year.

Seeing the cubs listening seriously, Shen Huaijin continued: "The above two points must be observed, otherwise I won't give you a piece of candy. And Xi, Hei, I know that cubs of your age have already started to follow Adult orcs are training in the valley, if I find out that you have delayed your practice in exchange for candy, you will not be able to exchange for a piece of candy. Do you understand?"

"Understood!" Several older cubs said in unison.

A few young cubs were worried that they would not be able to exchange for candy because they were not strong enough, and they were very sad.

Shen Huaijin scratched the nose of the cub who loved to cry the most, and comforted in a warm voice: "It doesn't matter if you are not strong enough, you can ask your father, Apa, to cut licorice and exchange it with me, a basket of licorice for two pieces of candy. But Note that you can only cut the licorice outside the valley, I found out that if you cut the licorice inside the valley, there is no sugar to eat, do you understand?"

"Know~know~la~" several kids replied in a childish voice.

After seeing off the cubs, Shen Huaijin let out a long breath, she felt a little cleaner, but she always felt that she had forgotten something.When Li got up and rushed towards him, he realized that he forgot to reheat the other party's breakfast after steaming the egg custard.

"Why did you put my food aside?" Li asked in a low voice, with some grievances in his tone.

Although he didn't care about how well he ate, he ate hot food for a long time with the caring Shen Huaijin. Today, seeing that his sweet potatoes and scrambled eggs had been put aside and had long since lost the heat, he felt inexplicably desolate.

Why does it look so similar to the Hanhan who was accidentally kicked over the dog bowl by him...

Shen Huaijin thought helplessly, and comforted her: "It wasn't intentional, Shi came to deliver the animal skin just now, and I made him a bowl of egg custard, and then I put out your breakfast."

"It's okay, don't make such an expression, can I make you a bowl of custard too?"

Of course Li agreed.

He didn't really feel unhappy, but he found that as long as he showed this expression, Shen Huaijin was very gentle to him, so he "wronged" to test the other party when he was fine.

For the next two days, because the licorice was provided by the sub-beasts, Shen Huaijin and Li didn't have to cut it by themselves. They focused on boiling sugar. After confirming that Li could make candy by himself, Shen Huaijin stopped working on it , thinking about making a fireplace for myself.

The cold season in the Beastman Continent makes it difficult for the strong sub-beasts. He can't do it with a few pieces of animal skins and a leaky thatched hut. After thinking about it, he still plans to build a fireplace for himself. During the cold season, Not only can you warm up, but you can also bake something to eat by the way.

Shen Huaijin is already an old hand at playing mud now, and it is not a problem to burn a fireplace according to the process in the information.

He prepared the clay as usual, found a stone slab, and built clay about [-] centimeters high on four sides on it, leaving a gap on one side to let in the wind, and adding stones on the other three sides inside to avoid direct burning by the flame at the bottom for a long time .After setting up the base, he first burned it hard in the work shed, and then placed it against the wall of the house.

Shen Huaijin placed the base properly on the edge of the south window, continued to pile about [-] centimeters of clay on the three sides, and lit a fire inside, waiting for it to dry slowly.He went back to the shed and fired a thirteen-hole grate, which had the same effect as the grate used when building a pottery kiln.

After the grate was fired, the semi-finished products inside were almost baked, Shen Huaijin extinguished the fire, and put the grate on the stones on three sides.In the future, put the firewood or charcoal on the grate, and the wind can enter the bottom, and the burnt plant ash can also be taken.

The next operation is to burn a small fire and continue to build up. When the height is about eighty or ninety centimeters, Shen Huaijin starts to lean inward when building the soil. Edge capping.This process needs to be very slow, otherwise the unfired clay will easily collapse.

A hole was left when the roof was capped, and Shen Huaijin wanted to build a chimney on it leading to the outside of the house.This process is the most difficult and requires the most patience, because the chimney is thin and needs to be bent.

While lighting the fire, Shen Huaijin used branches as supports to build a chimney bit by bit.

Because he didn't want to make a fireplace that would stop cooking halfway, Shen Huaijin specially used the red clay from the river bank, and the production process was also careful and careful.Because he usually has to cook or go hunting with him, it took seven or eight days intermittently to make this fireplace.

But time was not wasted.The fireplace made by Shen Huaijin is not counting the chimney. It is about one meter high and shaped like a round bottle with a big belly, but the front side is hollowed out.

Tried burning twice, the smoke and dust were basically exhausted through the chimney, and some residual smoke also escaped through some small gaps in the wall. Shen Huaijin's bed is far away from the fireplace, and it may be that trees in other worlds are easier to burn. , When he lay on the bed, he could hardly smell the smoke, but he could feel full of warmth.

The fireplace was unexpectedly easy to use, and Shen Huaijin was relieved.

After Shen Huaijin was busy with this matter, she began to check and accept the results of boiling sugar.For the past two days, he was busy making the fireplace, and Li was in charge of boiling the sugar.After giving the agreed candy to the children, he found that there were still two full cans of candy left, so he brought one to Li.

The silver-haired orc raised his eyebrows, "Why did you give me so much? Isn't it half of the agreement?"

Shen Huaijin shook her head and said, "You boiled these candies alone. I didn't participate at all. It's not enough to give you half and half."

He said sharply, "Don't give it to me, anyway, I eat with you, there is no need to have a jar of sugar in the room."

Shen Huaijin secretly scolded this guy whether he understands the value of candy, but he still persuaded him: "You don't have to eat it. This candy can be stored for a long time. You can take it with you when you go to the market next time. Maybe you want something. It can be exchanged."

Cursing the corners of his lips, he said slowly, "Don't you know what I want?"

He looked at Shen Huaijin in front of him, and felt that time seemed to have stagnated on the latter, unlike the sub-beasts in the tribe, who almost changed their skin color every day under the sunlight of the hot season.The other party obviously worked hard all day long, but his exposed face, neck and arms were still fair and delicate, as if they could shine, which made him have countless fantasies.

Shen Huaijin was taken aback by this aggressive gaze that he hadn't seen for a long time, then turned around and put the two cans of sugar back into the house.

Whether he loves it or not, just let him keep it for himself.
