Beginning Backpack [Farming]

The two got up early, ate something casually and started to build the animal pen. The site of the animal pen was located next to the vegetable field, and it was also very close to the birdhouse and work shed. In the future, Shen Huaijin could feed wild birds and hairy animals together. , the excreta of the two can be fertilized directly to the vegetable field after fermentation.

Due to its size, the animal pen is much larger than the birdhouse, and it takes more time and materials to build the frame.

Li was responsible for the construction, while Shen Huaijin was in charge of auxiliary work such as cutting thatch and weaving bark ropes.

The orc spent a day looking for materials and building a rough frame. After eating and cleaning, the two massaged each other on the bed.

Although Li felt that he was not tired from the day's work at all, it was still difficult for him to refuse to be touched by Shen Huaijin's hand.

Shen Huaijin mowed thatch for a long time, moved and resisted, but she was really tired. The other party kneaded her sore and limp limbs with gentle and heavy techniques, sighed in comfort, and then fell asleep in a daze.

The next day they started building the walls.The walls of the animal pen are neither high nor low, so as to prevent the furry animals from running out and provide them with enough sunlight.

After the walls were built, the animal enclosure was ready for use, and the two drove the hairy beast from the birdhouse to the animal enclosure.

The animal pen still lacks a roof to keep out the sun and rain, but the fresh thatch needs to be put into the sun for two days before it can be put into use, and Shen Huaijin is not in a hurry.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Shen Huaijin asked Li to saw two logs, and he dug and burned them to create hollow grooves, intending to use them as feeding troughs for wild birds and furry animals, to avoid mixing food and excrement bad situation.

On the day when the animal enclosure was completed, Shen Huaijin felt a sense of accomplishment watching the cubs sucking their mother's milk while the mother animal bleated.

After arranging the hairy beasts, Shen Huaijin went to the pharmacy to check Yu and Ming's homework, and found that they had mastered the knowledge they had already taught well, so Shen Huaijin taught them the knowledge of what medicine to use under certain circumstances, and let them Consolidate while concocting herbs.

After leaving the house, Shen Huaijin was still feeling emotional. Although these two people were accepted by him by chance, they were both very smart. After learning the skills of herbal medicine, if it was done properly, when it was time to build the city wall, Shen Huaijin would still want them Also responsible for part of the work.

The land has been planted, and the livestock have been resettled, so Shen Huaijin can continue to gather and hunt with peace of mind.

On this day, he heard that Ann was going to lead a team to the north of the valley to collect.He remembered that there was a beautiful wetland there, with lakes, lotus, taro and large reed fields, full of vitality everywhere, and he proposed to follow without hesitation.

When Shen Huaijin arrived at the wetland, he proposed to go for a further walk. After going around, he discovered a beautiful scenery that he had never seen before.

It was a large peach grove, with glowing flowers all over the field. Looking at the peach grove from a distance, it really looked like a light red morning glow.As the spring breeze blows, pieces of pink rustle down, bringing a light fragrance of flowers.

The terrain of the wetland is complex, with continuous reeds, large lakes, and tall metasequoias. However, there is a lack of edible fruits. The sub-beasts have never gone deep before, and they don't know what lies beyond. That's why they missed this peach forest.

There are two big peach trees in the yard of Grandpa Shen Huaijin’s house, which are full of fruit every year. He was pleasantly surprised to tell everyone about the uses of peach trees. For example, peach blossoms can be used to make tea, and peaches and peach gum can be used to eat.

After hearing this, An was very regretful, "I knew we should go deeper, the peach trees are so good, I didn't expect that we missed this peach forest for so long."

Shen Huaijin comforted, "It's not too late now."

Because the peach trees were still early in fruiting, Shen Huaijin picked some peach blossoms and put them in animal skin bags, planning to take them back to make tea. He always felt that he was going to get angry when he often ate barbecue, so it would be good to drink scented tea occasionally to scrape his intestines.

This animal skin bag was brought with the salt that was exchanged before. After Shen Huaijin used up the salt in it, he cleaned the bag and dried it.

He brought two animal skin bags, which happened to contain a bag of peach blossoms and a bag of peach gum. The other sub-beasts also learned from them when they saw them, and some who didn't have animal skin bags just wrapped them in animal skins.

While picking the flowers, An sighed, "This peach blossom is so beautiful, and the color is beautiful. I want to get some to string a bracelet, Jin, and I will give you a bunch when the time comes."

Shen Huaijin politely refused.

But to be honest, the ornamental value of peach blossoms is still very high. If possible, he would really like to plant two peach trees in front of the house like his grandfather, to enjoy the flowers in spring and eat peaches in summer.

Everyone did not pick too many flowers, and left to find purple berries and green leafy grass when they picked a suitable amount. When they were almost done, they went back to the tribe with hairpin flowers and laughed all the way back to the tribe.

As soon as Shen Huaijin returned to the tribe, he processed his beloved peach blossoms. The picked flowers were soaked in light salt water and washed to ensure that the dust and bugs were removed, then removed and dried. Seven days, although it is slower than drying in the sun, the peach petals are not easy to change color, and they look good when soaked.

Seeing that Li was still busy covering the animal pen, Shen Huaijin took some washed peach blossoms and soaked them in boiling water. The peach blossoms floated up and down in the hot water, looking really beautiful.

Shen Huaijin added some jam to his cup, stirred it up, and took a sip. It had the sweetness of berries and the fragrance of peach blossoms, which was very pleasant.

Seeing Li set up a circle and came down, Shen Huaijin quickly handed over the cold peach blossom tea, and Li took a sip, a little surprised, "This water is very fragrant, and it quite quenches your thirst."

"Of course, this is tea made from peach blossoms."

"Peach blossom?" Li had never heard of this kind of flower before.

Shen Huaijin then explained how the group of them found Taolin today, and popularized science about peach trees. Seeing that Li was really interested, he said, "Peach trees are very beautiful. I really want to be in the house." I planted two before, and I can still eat peaches after seeing the peach trees.”

Li slightly hooked his lips, of course he knew what Shen Huaijin meant, "Peach trees sound really good, then I will go to the peach forest with you in two days, how about we dig two small peach trees and plant them in front of the house?"

Shen Huaijin was very satisfied with the sharp "Shang Dao", he patted the other person's chest, secretly lamenting the strong hand feeling, "Then we have to go in a few days, otherwise the peach trees will not be able to grow when the weather is hot. gone."

So the two of them set off early the next day without eating.When I came to the wetland, after going around and around, I saw a large peach blossom forest shrouded in mist like a veil, and Shen Huaijin couldn't help feeling a fairyland on earth.

When the sun was shining, the survival rate of the peach trees would be reduced when they were transplanted, so the two dared not hesitate, picked two small peach trees that were less than two meters long and looked healthy, and began to dig the roots. In order to ensure the survival rate, Shen Huaijin kept the roots. Most of the roots and the wet soil with them were removed.

The dug-up peach trees were carried back by Li, one on the left and one on the right, while Shen Huaijin picked some purple berries along the way. He found that the scented tea with jam was quite delicious, but the jam was almost finished, so he wanted to make two more cans .

As soon as the peach trees were brought back, they were directly planted in the mud pit dug in front of the house. Shen Huaijin hurriedly watered them, hoping that the two trees of hope would survive smoothly.

Immediately afterwards, the two of them took pains to get a set of stone tables and chairs under the tree. Shen Huaijin saw that the big trees in the peach forest were basically about five meters in length. Five meters away, it would be suitable for the two of them to sit under a tree drinking tea to enjoy the cool or play board games and chess. Even when the weather is good, they can eat directly on the stone table so as not to have to move back into the house.

After finishing their work, they realized that it was already noon, and the two of them forgot to eat breakfast at the same time. When they realized it, their stomachs were about to growl.

Shen Huaijin had two peach trees, and was in a good mood, so she made a rare bald butter mixed with mashed taro, a radish and big bone soup, fried pork chops, and soaked some peach gum along the way.

They taste delicious food under the tree, and when the breeze blows, there are still fragrant petals falling.

After the meal, Shen Huaijin also made peach blossom tea, this time he didn't add jam, so he could taste the fragrance of scented tea even more.

Take a long breath, this is life.

The dark peach gum was completely soaked in the afternoon, and it was about seven or eight times its original size.Shen Huaijin carefully removed the black impurities on the surface of the softened peach gum, washed it repeatedly with clean water, and broke it into even small pieces.Then add peach gum and water into the pot, boil it and simmer for about half an hour on low heat.When the soup starts to thicken, add the diced purple berries and cook for 5 minutes, then add the sugar cubes and cook while stirring until the sugar cubes are completely melted and the soup is thick.

The freshly stewed peach gum melts in the mouth, sweet and delicious.

Shen Huaijin and Li each tasted the small bowls and then stopped. One had a small appetite and the other did not like sweets.Shen Huaijin then divided the remaining peach gum into several shares and sent them to Dawu, Yu, Ming and the leader's family of four.

After returning to the bank of the stream, Shen Huaijin also found that a few bees followed the fragrance of the flowers to the valley, and were diligently collecting honey and pollinating the branches of the peach trees that had just been transplanted.

He had a happy face, and excitedly yanked, "Bee! Have you noticed it before?"

"Yes, it hurts to get stung, and we don't like to provoke it."

"Then you must have never found a beehive. There are treasures in it."

Thinking of the densely packed little flying insects, Li felt his scalp tingle. He really couldn't imagine what the so-called baby would be, and the expression on his face became weird.

After Shen Huaijin had brown sugar, his demand for honey was not great. Besides, taking honey was also dangerous for a novice, so he just shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently: "If you don't believe it, let's talk about it when we have a chance to see it."

Shen Huaijin, who had eaten sweets, lost his appetite for dinner. He made scrambled eggs, fried some pork chops, and stewed some sweet potatoes for dinner. He went back to the house early, lay on the bed, and gnawed on his meat. I spent two days watching movies while making jerky.

What he was watching was an Oscar-winning film, a classic tearjerker, known as a sensational masterpiece of the decade.

After Li tidied up the dishes and entered the room, he saw Shen Huaijin with a red nose and tears in his eyes, and became nervous all of a sudden, "What's the matter, Roubao?"

Shen Huaijin's voice was still trembling, "I'm watching a movie, the plot is so touching."

Li didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Are you crying just because of the stories performed by other humans?"

Shen Huaijin glared at him, "What do you know, this is called emotional resonance!"

Li Fu said softly: "Okay, okay, I don't understand, I thought it was someone in the tribe who bullied you."

"Don't worry, the people in the tribe are very kind, and no one will bully me." Even Yang, who used to find faults from time to time, became much calmer after the restlessness of the herd. Will take the initiative to nod.

"That's true. After all, my Jin is so powerful." Li's big hand put Shen Huaijin on the back of the neck, and kissed the hair on the top of his head lightly.

Shen Huaijin tugged him wordlessly, motioning him to lie down and watch a movie together, but his earlobes turned red honestly.

Li Li lying on the side caught a glimpse, and quietly curled the corners of his lips.

The author has something to say: Xiao Shen is rushing towards a better life!

When I was a child, there were two peach trees in the yard of my house, and the flowers fell everywhere in spring, so beautiful~
