Beginning Backpack [Farming]

Li saw that Shen Huaijin's mind and eyes were all about knitting during this time, so he took the initiative to solicit the job of cooking. He didn't know anything else, so he usually stewed sweet potatoes, roasted meat, steamed custard or taro.

On this day, Shen Huaijin was asked what he would eat for lunch as usual. He thought about the six baskets of radishes that had hardly been touched in the storage room, and suggested, "Let's make pork ribs and radish soup. I haven't had hot soup for a long time."

Sensing the embarrassing expression, Shen Huaijin smiled, "I'll cook today, and the sweater is half finished."

It's been almost a month since the cold season, and Shen Huaijin has also adapted to the low temperature. As long as he wears a hat and cape, he won't have any problems cooking soup by the stove.

Li had a big appetite, so Shen Huaijin asked him to cut off half of the rib of the big-eared beast and chop it into small pieces.He himself picked five fat white radishes, cleaned and peeled them and cut them into hob shapes. The remaining skins were fed to wild birds as usual.

In order to make this large pot of soup, Shen Huaijin specially used her biggest cooking utensil.

The processed pork ribs should be boiled in boiling water for about 5 minutes, then poured in lemon juice and ginger slices to remove the fishy smell, and the bones should be taken out and washed until there is no blood.

Shen Huaijin put the boiled bones into the cooker again, added water until the pork ribs were covered, added sliced ​​ginger and scallion, brought to a boil on high heat, then changed to a low heat and simmered slowly. After the soup was simmered until white, put in radish cubes and continued to simmer.After the radish is stewed, turn off the heat, add licorice powder and salt.

A pot full of stewed soup was moved to the table in the house along with the cooking utensils. Shen Huaijin first filled a bowl of soup for each of them, and the whole body was smooth after one mouthful. The taste was light and delicious, and the radish was stewed until soft. The ribs are glutinous, but the ribs are still chewy, and the kimchi and radish are delicious.

In the past, Shen Huaijin could only eat half full of the food he made, and he had to add sweet potatoes and barbecue. Today, he ate it all at once, and understood why Shen Huaijin loved stewed soup so much.

A pot of warming soup made the lunch break for the two of them extraordinarily long.

Waking up from a nap, Shen Huaijin knits a sweater by the fireplace while waking up and napping, feeling like an old lady in a trance. He glanced at the bone knife sharpening beside him, and realized that it was also a boring job. Can't help but sigh.

When knitting a sweater, you still have to watch a movie or TV series, but the orc is almost inseparable from him, and taking out the phone may be a hidden danger, so I can only resist the impulse in my heart.

Shen Huaijin put down her sweater and stood up, trying to stretch her body. It was really boring to be kept in the room all the time.

He first asked Li Lai to learn how to knit sweaters. Although the other party learned quickly, he had the common problem of novices and could not control the strength. The originally finely woven sweater suddenly became a "hole" style, and Shen Huaijin had to dismantle it and re-knit it.

He brought the bark and charcoal again, and drew a nine-square grid on the bark. The two took turns to draw a circle and a cross, competing for who could reach a straight line first.

Shen Huaijin found that although the opponent had not been educated by the modern system, he had a strong understanding. After playing more than a dozen times, the outcome was a [-]-[-] split.

This kind of small game will get boring after a while, Shen Huaijin wants to play poker or mahjong, but he and Li are the only two in the room, An and Lin also have their own lives, maybe they are sleeping now, so it is not easy to disturb .

He was momentarily discouraged.

Li saw Shen Huaijin's boredom, and suggested: "Are you feeling bored after staying in the house for too long, why don't I take you to hunt near the valley? Occasionally, there are wild birds fluttering outside in the cold season. If you like, Let's catch some wild birds and come back to stew mushrooms."

Shen Huaijin's eyes lit up, but she was still a little worried, "It's so cold in the cold season, will there be wild beasts that can't eat and attack us?"

Li shook his head and said: "Beasts will hide in the cold season. I have never heard of wild beasts hurting people in the cold season. But it is very cold outside. If you want to go out, you have to make a sweater and put it on, and you have to find the weather. Good time. And wild birds may not be seen."

Shen Huaijin nodded happily, "Then let's go hunting together when the time is right!" He didn't care if he could catch wild birds, anyway, he was very satisfied to go out and let the wind go.

Because of the hope of "going out to play", Shen Huaijin's interest in knitting sweaters finally came back, and the speed was also faster. Within two days, the finishing work was done, and a milky yellow sweater was knitted.

Because it was woven according to my figure, after I put it on, the size was just right, and the fur of the multi-haired beast was soft, and Shen Huaijin woven it finely, so I felt close to the body and warm after wearing it.

Shen Huaijin wears a T-shirt on the upper body, a sweater in the middle, a long-sleeved animal skin coat and a cape, and animal skin trousers on the outer trousers on the lower body.This way of wearing is extremely warm, and Shen Huaijin even broke out in a thin layer of sweat when she stayed beside the warm fireplace and Li, but it is necessary if she wants to go out.

He also planned to knit a pair of woolen socks. After all, his shoes were not very warm, and his feet were warm except when nestled on the belly of the giant wolf, and the rest of the time was frozen blue.

Shen Huaijin also asked Li if he wanted to wear a pair of socks and straw sandals, but he refused.

The strong physique of the orcs makes them not afraid of the severe cold. The challenge brought to them in the cold season is more of a lack of food, so wearing shoes will restrict their actions.

Shen Huaijin quickly assembled her own "equipment", picked a sunny day with no wind and snow, and followed Li out of the valley.

The snow outside the valley has accumulated about one meter high, and the lush mountains, forests and grasslands are all plain.

Turning into the shape of a beast, the silver giant wolf lowered its head, and bent over Shen Huaijin in the snow.

"Come up."

Shen Huaijin didn't twitch either, he carried the bow and arrow on his back, turned onto the giant wolf's back, after lying down carefully, and tightened the hair on the back of the silver wolf's neck, the giant wolf that had already been ready to go shot out like an arrow , galloping on the snow.

Shen Huaijin lowered her head, the cold wind whizzed past her ears, and the occasional boulders and rotten tree trunks exposed in the snow became afterimages where the silver wolf passed.

The world was vast, and his fiery red cloak became the only bright color.

Shen Huaijin originally thought that at such a fast speed, the back of the wolf would be bumpy, but he didn't expect the giant wolf to run fast but steady. He tried to swing his body to keep up with the rhythm, and then he had the fun of riding a horse, but it was a pity that the cold wind Tai Sheng still didn't dare to raise his head.

The giant wolf carried Shen Huaijin out of the valley and headed west, and gradually slowed down after a certain distance.

It wasn't until the giant wolf was advancing at a pace that Shen Huaijin dared to stand up and look up. He straightened his hat that was being blown crooked by the strong wind, and raised his eyes to look around.

I saw that the lush forest belt has changed from emerald green to a plain appearance covered in silver, but what remains unchanged is that it remains motionless like a sharp sword, piercing straight into the sky.

Shen Huaijin took a deep breath into the palms of his hands. After his hands warmed up a little, he turned over and got off the back of the wolf, and took off the bow and arrow behind his back, "Are there any wild birds around here?"

The silver wolf sniffed around, the low temperature and high-speed running wind covered the wet nose of the silver wolf with fine icicles, but he didn't care.

"Go in this direction, pay attention to the sound, you should be able to meet a nest."

Shen Huaijin nodded, and cautiously moved forward. The snow in this area is not too deep, and he can walk smoothly by himself.

After bypassing a few trees, Shen Huaijin saw three wild birds with their backs to him, pawing at the snow and pecking at them from time to time, probably looking for winter insects or seeds under the snow.

This distance is not far.

Shen Huaijin held her breath and concentrated, and neatly nocked the arrow, took advantage of the unpreparedness, aimed and fired the bow.

The arrow was extremely fast, and with the sound of breaking wind, it nailed a wild bird to the tree trunk. The wild bird immediately screamed sharply, and a very thin line of blood flowed down the rough bark during the struggle, which also provoked The other two wild birds flew away one after another.

Shen Huaijin hurried forward to solve it.The cold wind, blood and hissing made his adrenaline soar, and his blood churned, and he felt a little excited.

Shen Huaijin didn't indulge in it. In the cold season, the sunshine is not long, which is very precious, and he has enough food, so there is no need to take the risk of extra hunting, so he only caught two wild birds, enough to cook a soup, and planned to go back.

The two walked together on the way out of the forest, because the heavy snow covered their usual footprints, and it was extremely difficult to walk with one foot high and the other low.Shen Huaijin wanted to try his luck to see if he could find a plant that was particularly hardy, so he paid more attention to both sides.

When he reached a dead branch, he stopped, tugged the giant wolf's ears, pointed to a few hidden paw prints on the side of the dead branch and asked, "Why are there still wild beasts here?"

These paw prints appear to be smaller than the bestial claws of the orcs, but larger than the claws of common prey.More importantly, Li Mingming said that there would be no wild animals in the cold season, but Shen Huaijin found paw prints near the valley, which is really unusual.

Li leaned over and sniffed, but didn't smell anything.

The smell of snow dissipated quickly, and the owner of the paw prints must have been away for a long time. These paw prints were not covered by the subsequent heavy snow because they were covered by dead branches.

"There shouldn't be wild beasts in the cold season, and even if there are, they shouldn't appear so close to the tribe. I have never encountered such a situation. Come up quickly, and we will return to the tribe as soon as possible."

The giant wolf's ears stood vigilantly, and it let out a threatening growl, scanning its surroundings from time to time.

"Come up!"

Shen Huaijin didn't hesitate any longer, and immediately climbed onto the back of the wolf. Regardless of the fact that the huge animal shape would make it difficult to gallop through the woods, Shen Huaijin stepped forward and ran towards the valley.

Back in the valley, the two knocked open Yan's room and reported the matter to him.

In fact, this matter is not too big or small.On a smaller scale, it might just be something wrong with a wild beast that appeared nearby; on a larger scale, it might be a harbinger of something big to happen.

Yan made a decisive decision and asked Li and Lin to notify them from house to house, and finally decided to arrange four orcs to patrol inside and outside the valley every morning and evening, and notify the tribe immediately if there was any abnormality.

This level of vigilance was already very high in the cold season. Li comforted Shen Huaijin a few words, telling him not to worry too much. If something really happened, the orcs in the tribe would stand up to it.

The orcs have hunted almost all kinds of wild animals, no matter what, they will not be afraid of a few wild animals that are hungry and running around in a hurry in the cold season.

Shen Huaijin nervously bit the soft flesh on both sides of his mouth, somehow, he always had an ominous premonition.
