Beginning Backpack [Farming]

Aroused by the hot pot last night, Shen Huaijin wanted to have something delicious again. He remembered seeing a lot of crabs in the river when he went to dig potatoes by the river. Now that the time is changed to the earth, it is probably golden autumn During the festive season, eating crabs is the most appropriate.

The tribe is now able to complete the process of making vermicelli by itself, and Shen Huaijin can just go out with peace of mind.

Yin and Yang were in charge of leading the team today, and Shen Huaijin discussed with Yin whether they could go to Dahe to collect them.

Yin was a bit puzzled: "Jin, it's not that I don't want to promise you, it's just that the collection team has to dig sweet potatoes or taro recently, and there is nothing in the big river that can be preserved until the cold season."

Shen Huaijin thought about this a long time ago, and said without hesitation: "Yin, there are a lot of purple berries beside the big river. I know there is a way to store the purple berries smoothly until the cold season, and it won't delay your hoarding of food."

Now that Shen Huaijin said so, Yin agreed.

Shen Huaijin then carried the rattan basket on her back, took cotton thread and a few small pieces of fresh animal meat, and set off with everyone.

When they got to the big river, Yin and other sub-beasts picked purple berries, while Shen Huaijin went to the river to catch crabs.

He wrapped a small piece of animal meat with cotton thread, dipped it into the water lightly, and felt a pulling sensation not long after.

The crabs here have never been "deceived", they are very stupid, and they are accurate.By the time they were about to leave, Shen Huaijin had already caught more than half of the basket of crabs. He had previously prepared a rattan basket with a cover, which was just right for these crabs.

Shen Huaijin was not idle on the way back, picking some berries while walking, and packed them in another empty rattan basket.

When Shen Huaijin returned to the tribe, she taught Yin how to dry and store the fruit. After listening to the description, it was a pity that the sub-beasts did not expect such a simple method. They had wasted so much fruit in the past and did not collect it.

In fact, berries can also be used to make jam, but this method requires a lot of sugar, and the sub-beasts can't afford it, so Shen Huaijin didn't say much, but he wanted to try it with that basket of purple berries.

There were indeed a lot of crabs in most of the basket, and Shen Huaijin couldn't finish them all by herself, so she planned to share half with An and the others, and use the remaining half for other purposes.

Steamed river crab is delicious.

Fearing that the crabs would die quickly, Shen Huaijin steamed half of the crabs that afternoon and sent them to Xiu, An, and Yin respectively, and carefully explained how to eat them.As for the remaining half, he intends to boil it into a bald butter called the top delicacy.

After steaming the fat crabs, Shen Huaijin took out the crab roe and crab paste for later use, put animal oil in the other end of the clay pot to heat up, poured in onion and ginger, fried until fragrant, and then took it out.

The bottom oil does not move, pour crab roe and crab paste into it, cook slowly on low heat, stir with a spoon in circles, about 10 minutes, and the red crab oil will be boiled out.At this time, add an appropriate amount of ginger juice and lemon juice, stir and cook for 10 minutes to get out of the pan.

When Li came over, he could smell the overbearing aroma of bald butter when it came out of the pan. He glanced at the oily and bright finished product, and couldn't help but ask, "What is this? It smells really good."

Shen Huaijin said: "The bald butter is boiled with crab roe and crab paste, and you can mix it with it later. I left you two whole crabs in the house without removing the yellow and paste, and some crab roe and crab paste that have been removed." Yes, I will teach you how to eat later."

"Then what whole crab, have you eaten it?"

Shen Huaijin shook her head, "I'm too busy making bald butter."

He said sharply, "Then let's eat together."

Shen Huaijin didn't follow suit, he poured the boiled bald butter into a clay pot scalded with boiling water, sealed it up carefully, and entered the room with Li.

The two each ate a whole crab and shared the rest.

Shen Huaijin has a small appetite, and after eating three or four more, she gets a little tired, and the rest will be dealt with like a whirlwind.

Shen Huaijin was stunned for a moment, and persuaded: "If you can't eat it, don't eat it. Anyway, the most delicious place has been boiled into bald butter. I will eat it for you next time."

Li laughed and said, "Do you think the orcs' appetites are as small as yours? I usually have such a big appetite."

Shen Huaijin asked strangely: "Then why don't you usually eat so much?"

Although Li usually eats a lot, it is still not as exaggerated as today.

The orc said indifferently: "Then I can't compete with you for food, I will eat when you are full, as much as you have, and if you are still hungry, just go back and eat a piece of barbecue."

Shen Huaijin pursed her lips, feeling a little sorry, "I'm sorry, I didn't know that you didn't have enough of the amount I usually cook. I will cook more next time."

In retrospect, he realized that on the first day when the two of them cooked together, Li brought a lot of food, and then it gradually decreased. It should be because he usually cooks that much, and brought more to meet him. When he was tired, he took the initiative to reduce the amount.

I think so, Li is also a team leader anyway, and the food allocated cannot be only so much.

"Bring as much food as you need every day. Even if I don't have time to make it, you can roast it here and eat it before going back. It won't be more troublesome than regenerating the fire."

Li smiled and did not refuse.

The next day, Shen Huaijin got up early and planned to make jam.

He made peach jam when he was at home, and the purple berries should be treated in the same way, so it should not be a big problem.

He washed the purple berries and cut them into pieces, put them in a tank at a ratio of 15:1 with sugar, and then dripped some lemon juice, intending to marinate them for a few hours first.

The children's enjoyment of eating candy has never diminished. Shen Huaijin would boil some candy whenever he was free. Now he has saved a whole four jars, and he doesn't feel particularly distressed about making jam.

While Shen Huaijin was waiting to be marinated, Li came over, this time listening to Shen Huaijin's words, he took the initiative to take a large piece of animal meat, a few sweet potatoes and some taro.

Shen Huaijin's brows twitched, and he thought that his appetite was not small, and he signaled the other party to handle the ingredients himself, while he took a few bird eggs and planned to make two more bowls of custard.

Shen Huaijin originally thought that asking Li Fangang to eat would greatly increase his cooking time, but he didn't expect that the other party would consciously undertake all the work outside of cooking, and he didn't feel more tired.

After the two shared breakfast, the rain came.

It's just that Shen Huaijin found that he didn't seem to have anything else to do except eat these two days, so he gave Yu two pieces of candy helplessly so that he wouldn't have to come over for these two days and help Rong prepare for the winter season at home The food will do.

At noon, Shen Huaijin reckoned that the berries were almost ready to be pickled, so she brought the clay pot to the stove for heating.

After boiling, lower the heat and continue to boil, crush the pulp while boiling until it becomes viscous, then put out the fire, pour the cooked jam into a clean clay pot, and store it.

He didn't waste the remaining jams in the jar. He added some water to boil and drank it. It was sweet and he felt good after drinking it.

After tidying up the stove, Shen Huaijin carried the bow and arrow on her back, took the rattan basket, and set off to the outside of the valley with Li's hunting team.

Some time ago, he was busy teaching everyone how to make vermicelli. He was "closed" in the tribe for several days, and he didn't go out with the hunting team for a long time.

As usual, Shen Huaijin hid in the tree and waited for everyone. Because she was deeply impressed by the snake she met before, Shen Huaijin focused most of her attention on the surrounding environment and did not pay attention to the hunting situation of the orcs.When he found out, the orcs had already returned with their prey.

Li caught Shen Huaijin who jumped off the tree because he thought it was troublesome, and asked curiously: "What kind of beast are you hunting this time, and why are you so fast?"

Shen Huaijin turned over the animal carcass, and felt that it looked like a combination of sheep and goats on earth, and the former had most of the characteristics.

He replied sharply: "This is a hairy beast. It runs slowly and lazily. It is the best beast to hunt, but it will only appear in our hunting area during these days and the water season."

Shen Huaijin rubbed her chin, feeling that this personality is very similar to a sheep, and looking at the fine and soft fluff, even if it is not a sheep, knitting yarn is enough.

"Can I have a few hairy beasts?" he asked on a whim.

"No." Li refused, "There is not enough food for the beasts to eat in the cold season, and the hairy beasts are now migrating to hot places, and they will not stay here for a long time, because the cold season here is not suitable for them to live in."

So that's the case, then it seems that the chance of me wanting to drink goat's milk is gone, and Shen Huaijin is inevitably a little depressed.

Li looked at Shen Huaijin's drooping eyelashes, sensed his displeasure, pursed his lips, and said, "During the water season, the hairy beast will come back, and then I will catch two more for you. In the next cold season, Maybe we'll find a way to keep them from freezing to death."

Shen Huaijin cheered up after hearing this, "En!"

It seems there is still hope for goat milk.

After returning to the tribe, Shen Huaijin first asked the Asian beasts to help him cut off the hairy beasts.

An asked interestingly: "Have you thought of a way to make something good again?"

Shen Huaijin nodded, "I want to try to make clothes out of animal hair, but I don't know if it will work."

Ann asked, "What are clothes?"

Shen Huaijin tugged on her coat and said, "This is clothes, but it's not made of animal hair. The sweater made of animal hair should be thicker, and it can better protect against the cold in the cold season."

Ann patted him on the shoulder.After going through so long, he has long believed in Shen Huaijin unconditionally, and he is more confident than Shen Huaijin himself: "You can definitely do it, and I will wait to exchange things for the sweater you made."

Shen Huaijin didn't dare to push her too hard.Although he has learned how to knit sweaters from his mother, he really doesn't know how to turn wool into wool. If he can't do the first step, what will happen next.

He remembered that there was information about weaving in the USB flash drive, but he didn't know if there was anything related to spinning, so he went back and looked for it, and he really found a way to turn wool into wool.

What is mentioned in the USB flash drive is an old method of spinning thread with a spindle.

The structure of the spindle is simple. It is generally a small bone stick or a small wooden stick with a hook in the middle.Fix the treated wool on the hook, lift the spindle, turn it to make it rotate, and spin the wool into wool.

Although the efficiency is not as high as that of the spinning wheel, the spindle also has advantages. For example, it is simple to make, and it is convenient to hold in the hand.

Shen Huaijin took a piece of fine cork of suitable size that night and carved a spindle. After confirming that it was available, she felt a little excited.

When he got up early the next day, he boiled a tub of hot water, washed the animal hair, and soaked it five times in a row to remove all impurities and most of the grease in the animal hair.

After washing, the animal hair should be dried naturally. Shen Huaijin took advantage of this time to make a comb with bone spurs, animal bones and clay to comb the hair.Combing can make wool fibers fluffy, so that long, long fibers can be pulled out continuously when spinning.

What is combed is fluffy, soft and light wool, which can be used for spinning.

It is not difficult to operate the spindle. As a beginner, Shen Huaijin spun a coil of thread in one afternoon.

After confirming that it was feasible, he made a decisive decision and taught the sub-beasts how to make a spindle and thread, and agreed that he could exchange the spun wool with him. The exchange method was two rolls of thread for a small clay pot.
