Beginning Backpack [Farming]

After that day, there was no more outrageous behavior between the two, but they were tacit to each other.

According to Li, the next [-] days or so will be the coldest period of the cold season. After Shen Huaijin heard about it, she was a little worried about the weakest members of the tribe, so she took out a batch of ginger and distributed it to several orphans. He Dulao, let them cook some ginger soup to drink when it is cold, it can prevent them from being frozen out, everyone is very grateful.

Shen Huaijin knew that it might be more difficult to cook outside the house in the next period of time, so she wanted to make some snacks to satisfy her cravings in the house.

After thinking for a long time, he decided to make some jerky and eat it slowly. It tastes delicious and can grind his teeth.

He cut off two large pieces of the gray horned beast's tenderloin, and cut them into long strips as thick as little fingers along the grain.Shen Huaijin added an appropriate amount of salt, ginger, garlic, pepper, brown sugar and licorice powder to the cooker, brought to a boil, put in the cut meat strips, and simmered for three to ten minutes.The cooked meat strips are taken out and drained, sprinkled with a little chili powder, and hung by the fireplace to dry slowly.

In fact, the meat strips hung up to dry are already ready to eat, and they taste pretty good. When Shen Huaijin was working by the fireplace, she couldn't help but put one in her mouth to satisfy her cravings, which always made Li Hao laugh out loud.

It's a pity that there is no soy sauce for coloring and seasoning when cooking meat, but Shen Huaijin is not in a hurry. His two tanks of fish salt mixture have been stirred every day, and the liquid is slowly overflowing. After continuous fermentation, it should be able to make fish sauce. At that time, I can make up for the regret of not having soy sauce.

Because the inspections of the tribe have never stopped, everyone has not stayed in the house as before, and several families with good relations will occasionally walk around each other.

Shen Huaijin also wanted to have a meal with friends before the arrival of "the coldest time", so taking advantage of the wind and snow, Yue An and Lin came over to eat hot pot. Anyway, the hot pot base was ready-made. If you bought your own chili, you should let them taste it too.

It was still mid-noon when Shen Huaijin hung up the meat strips. At this time, it was time to get busy again. Hot pot was not easy to make. The vermicelli had to be soaked, the radish had to be cut into pieces, the animal meat had to be thawed and sliced, and the offal had to be disposed of. .

An Helin is also a well-informed person who understands the preciousness of food in the cold season, so they brought their own food to the door, and they came to help early, and Shen Huaijin's house became lively for a while.

An also specially brought a can of dried berries as a "souvenir", Shen Huaijin himself did not have this thing - the purple berries collected by the sub-beasts in the off-season were only a few, and the amount of drying was only four or five baskets. Shen Huaijin was too embarrassed to ask for it.

Shen Huaijin cooked a pot of slightly spicy soup base with the previous hot pot base, and boiled a pot of animal bone soup base. After all, An and Lin have never experienced the stimulation and refreshment of chili peppers.

As soon as An walked to the stove, she couldn't help but sneezed.

"Ah! Jin, what are you eating, why does it make my nose itch?"

Shen Huaijin smiled heartily, "It's still the soup base of the hot pot, but I added the chili you sent to this pot."

"Chili?" Ann's eyes widened in surprise, "Is this the taste of chili? It feels more pungent than ginger. Is this fruit really edible?"

"Of course you are not really asked to eat chili, but just use chili as a condiment. At first you may find the taste a bit stimulating, but later you like this taste and you will feel refreshed. You will never forget it. Li, don't you think so?"

Li added firewood and nodded.

An dubiously looked at the can of "chili soup base" that Shen Huaijin said, and saw that the soup was full of red, and accompanied by the heat was the somewhat pungent and strange overbearing taste.

"Wow, is this really edible?"

With the addition of the two, Shen Huaijin prepared the dishes much faster.Soon, the four of them gathered around two steaming hot pots, ready to cook.

Shen Huaijin made a demonstration first, took a piece of hairy belly and rinsed it in the spicy pot for a few times, and after blowing it to cool down, he ate it in one mouthful. The crispness with spicy taste was exactly what he had thought for a long time.

Li Helin followed closely behind, and Shen Huaijin observed his expression, and found that the other party's expression remained unchanged, thinking that he was born to eat spicy food, but upon closer inspection, the other party's forehead was sweating.

"Hiss, the taste is so strange, but it can't be said to be unpalatable." Rin carefully recalled the taste in his mouth, and couldn't help but pour another chopstick of animal meat into the spicy pot.

Seeing that everyone had tasted it, An couldn't help it. He also picked up a chopstick of animal meat and rinsed it in the spicy pot. , He swallowed, closed his eyes and swallowed in one gulp.

"Wow, it's so stinging!" An's face was flushed and her mouth was red. She was so frightened that Shen Huaijin thought that the other party was allergic to chili peppers, so she hurriedly asked him to spit it out. Unexpectedly, An swallowed the meat while crying, causing everyone to panic. laugh.

An An couldn't help but say, "Woohoo is really stabbing, but it is really cool to eat this pepper in the cold season. It feels that the body will be hot all of a sudden, and it will sweat." Put it in a hot pot to cook.

Shen Huaijin smiled, it seems that everyone likes chili very much.

He told An and Lin about his plan to grow peppers after the cold season passed. After listening to his explanation, both of them expressed their support, and said that if Shen Huaijin succeeded in planting peppers, they would follow suit if they wanted to ask for some seeds. , eating chili is really addictive, they have already liked this taste after a hot pot meal, Rin also understands why Shen Huaijin said at the time that he would return these plants no matter what the cost.

"The taste of the rice must be very special and delicious." Lin recalled the plants that Shen Huaijin asked him to find at that time, and asked curiously.

Shen Huaijin shook his head and said: "Rice has no special taste, but it has a good taste and is suitable for everything. Good rice tastes sweet and soft, and it is also addictive. Moreover, rice will have other functions. I can change it to me in the future." Let me show you one by one."

Everyone is looking forward to it, and so is Shen Huaijin.I don't know whether the glutinous rice or non-glutinous rice near the Dasen tribe is suitable for wine making and snacks, and the latter can be used as a staple food. For him who "has nothing" now, both are excellent.

The four of them chatted and finished the hot pot. After the meal, Li Helin was in charge of cleaning up. Shen Huaijin called An into the room, took off the long sleeves of animal skin, and showed off his sweater.

An Yan touched the sweater in surprise, and said curiously: "This feels so comfortable and warm." The sweater still has Shen Huaijin's body temperature, which is warm.

Shen Huaijin nodded, "This sweater is made from the wool you spun."

An likes it so much that she can't put it down, such a light, soft and warm sweater is too tempting for Ya Beast, he pleads: "Jin, you can also knit one for me, I'm willing to exchange anything. "

Shen Huaijin shook her head with a smile, "If you want it, you can come to me next time you have time and learn from it. But if other sub-beasts in the tribe want it, you can ask them to change it with me, but this sweater is very expensive. Yarn is also time-consuming, and I haven’t figured out what to replace it with yet, but it’s definitely not less.”

Ann immediately agreed excitedly.

Because An and Lin also need to rest in the afternoon, after packing up the cooking utensils and chopsticks for Shen Huaijin, they also left early

The strips of meat by the fireplace were almost dried, and the dried meat wrapped in chili powder had an attractive color. Shen Huaijin tasted it, and felt that it was fragrant and spicy, dry but not firewood, and it was well done, so he took one by one. When I got down, I filled two cans, thinking that I would send some to Ann and the others when I had time.

While helping Shen Huaijin pick the dried meat, Li saw his concentration and felt happy in his heart.

After Shen Huaijin packed all the jerky, she took the time to look up, and asked helplessly, "Why are you staring at me again?"

Smiling sharply, he touched the other party's smooth chin, and before Shen Huaijin got angry, he quickly retracted his hand and said, "It feels like humans grow beards so slowly." After all, orcs need to shave their beards with bone knives every day.

Shen Huaijin shook her head and said, "Generally, humans of my age need to shave once a day."

His natural hair is not strong, and he used to shave once every three or two days, but now he only needs to shave once every seven or eight days.

In the past two days, he has been paying attention to his watch and mobile phone, and everything has not changed as usual, only he himself seems to have successfully "invaded" this world, and the time on his body began to flow, but I don't know if it is because of the different flow speeds in parallel worlds, his The passage of time is much slower than that on the earth. Judging from the growth rate of the beard, the time required here is two to three times that on the earth for the same length. It is not known whether this data will change in the later period.

Li frowned, "So your situation is abnormal? And I remember that you didn't seem to grow a beard before this cold season."

Shen Huaijin chuckled, and changed the subject to: "Before this cold season, you haven't been by my side all the time, how do you know if I have a beard or not?"

Li's eyes darkened a little, and he felt a little angry that this human being didn't care about him at all, "If this change does anything bad to you, you have to tell me, and we can find a solution together."

Knowing that the other party was angry, Shen Huaijin restrained her smile and said seriously: "I know, but speaking of it, this change should be a benefit." After all, it should be able to live longer, which is better than short life and immortality.

After listening to his words, he was a little relieved.

After eating hot pot all afternoon, Shen Huaijin felt that the smell on her body was a bit heavy, so she boiled hot water to wash her hair and body.

This is not good in primitive society. It is inconvenient to take a bath in the hot season, let alone the cold season.Every time Shen Huaijin cleans, she has to ask Li to go out for a period of time. When Li cleans, Shen Huaijin goes to the storage room and waits. This is the only time when the two of them need to "avoid suspicion" when they get along.

It was rare to wash her hair once, so Shen Huaijin specially boiled a pot of hot water.He actually likes to be clean, but unfortunately the conditions do not allow it.Washing indoors tends to make the house dirty and troublesome to clean; the outdoor temperature is not allowed, a pot of hot water freezes in less than 2 minutes, and when it is lifted up, it is covered with icicles. Shen Huaijin again No matter how hard I exercise, I can't bear this kind of experience.

After cleaning, Shen Huaijin called Li in, and the two cleaned up the house together.

Because they ate a lot at noon and didn't move much in the afternoon, and didn't want to eat anything at night, the two shared some dried fruit and meat as snacks, and went to bed about the same time to prepare for rest.

Shen Huaijin felt drowsy all over, but the ends of his hair were still a little wet, Li took the animal skin and wiped it for him over and over again.

The eyes of the person in the arms were a little slack because of sleepiness, but the eyes were radiant with the hot water, and the face was also soft pink.After Li finished wiping his hair, he felt more and more itchy as he looked at him, and finally couldn't help but take advantage of the sleepiness of the other party's eyes, and put a light kiss on his forehead.After the other party fell asleep completely, he was gently laid down on the bed.

Shen Huaijin was awakened by three short whistling sounds in a row.

It took him two seconds to realize that it was the bone whistle of the orc patrolling the tribe, which meant extreme danger!

At this time, Li had changed into a beast shape, and the silver wolf pierced through the night and rushed out directly.

"Stay indoors, get your weapons, and protect yourself!"

The author has something to say: the first small crisis after coming to the orc world appeared.

Xiao Shen: First time?Small crisis?
