Beginning Backpack [Farming]

Shen Huaijin got up early in the morning and did some warm-up exercises to wake up her body.

After the two washed up, one made breakfast while the other went to the fields to water and fertilize.

"Last night, I was a bit tired from eating too much barbecue. How about some bone broth powder and egg custard in the morning?" Shen Huaijin suggested loudly.

"I listen to you."

Shen Huaijin swiftly cracked four wild bird eggs and steamed them, then boiled bone broth, and made fried white radish by the way.

Recently, it was the harvest time of radishes. The sub-beasts who "bought" leather bags from Shen Huaijin before handed over radishes as the final payment. Shen Huaijin had to take the time to deal with these radishes. Slightly poor storage and easy to spoil.

The two of them filled their stomachs and didn't start working directly. They first soaked in the dried bamboo shoots for the evening, and then crossed the bridge hand in hand.

Li went to feed the livestock with the leftover fruit peels from the square, while Shen Huaijin went to the pharmacy to see how Yu and the others were studying.

Yu and the others have already learned all the numbers within 100, and because they usually conduct spot checks with each other, they have all consolidated well.

Shen Huaijin nodded with satisfaction, "You all have learned well. Today, in addition to teaching the numbers 101-110, I also need to teach you arithmetic."

Although the three of them didn't know what "arithmetic" was, they were very excited when they heard that there was something new to learn.

As everyone knows, from a certain angle, the front can be said to be an "abyss".

Shen Huaijin smiled slightly, saying nothing.

Coming out of the medicine store, Shen Huaijin felt quite refreshed.

When he returned to the other side of the stream, he still couldn't help laughing when he recalled the expressions of Yu and the others scratching their heads.

"What's so happy?" Li asked.

There was still a smile in Shen Huaijin's eyes, "I just taught Yu and the others arithmetic, and seeing their dumbfounded looks reminded me of you, so funny."

Looking at his smiling face, Li couldn't help but melt the sternness of his brows and eyes, "I'm still a fast learner."

Shen Huaijin had a new "laugh" object, so he didn't tease him, "It's pretty fast, unlike when I was a child and had to rely on my toes. By the way, let's build a pulp pond today, which is about the size of a lime pond. .I have built half a bamboo frame two days ago."

"Then I'll do the next one. Anyway, I saw you make a lime pit before, and I have learned how to use cement. Go and pickle the radishes, didn't you just say to dispose of those baskets of radishes?"

Shen Huaijin nodded, "Okay, the weather is good these days, and the cement will be dry in two days. I originally wanted to build the pulp tank inside the shed, but unfortunately there is not enough space, so I have to build it on the side first. You see Can you expand the shed, I want to include the pulp tank and the stove for steaming bamboo.”

Li Gan said: "Then build the pulp tank and stove first, and I will expand it outside after looking at the location."

Seeing that Li had already gone to fetch plant ashes, Shen Huaijin stopped talking and brought out two baskets of radishes.

They still had more than five baskets of fresh radishes on hand, which were exchanged for their quota and purses. Shen Huaijin decided to pickle two of them.

Wash the white radish, peel and cut into cubes, put it in a basin, and add a few spoonfuls of salt.After marinating the radish with salt, squeeze out the water completely, so that the raw taste of the radish can be removed after several times, and the pickling of the radish can be accelerated.

After the diced radish is squeezed dry, add lemon juice, minced garlic, some sugar cubes and a little salt to the pot, knead it to taste and put it all into a water-sealed kimchi jar.One of the cans of Shen Huaijin also extravagantly added chili powder to make a hot and sour side dish.

A total of eight cans of pickled radishes were made from two baskets of fresh radishes. Shen Huaijin sent two cans to An and the others, and one can to Shi.

At that time, Li had already started to put cement on the bamboo frame of the pulp tank, so Shen Huaijin went over to help wipe it together.

"Is the radish pickled?"

"Well, I plan to give some to An Heshi and the others." Shen Huaijin replied, "Today we used a lot of sugar for pickling radishes, and we have to find time to cook two more cans. Remember to remind me, or I will forget it again."

Li Weiwei smiled, "Okay, I'll cut some licorice tomorrow." A lot of licorice was used to boil sugar. In order not to scoop up all the licorice in the valley and make the tribal members not enough, they always went outside the valley. Mown licorice.

Shen Huaijin sighed, "Thinking about the ramie that was dried and put away two days ago, and these things, life is really busy."

Li whispered comfortingly, "Business has its benefits. Besides, if you do everything in the same way, there will always be a day when you finish it. At that time, you will be comfortable when you have food, drink, and use. You just told me two days ago. In order to create a happy life.”

Shen Huaijin blinked, "You really put what you've learned into practice. All right, you continue here, I'll build the stove on the side, and do it together on both sides, so it can be faster."

Although Li said that, Shen Huaijin couldn't bear to be exhausted. He frowned and said, "You've been busy until now, so go after a rest."

Shen Huaijin stretched her waist, "Then I'll make a cup of scented tea to relieve the heat first, the sunlight is too strong."

The night in the hot season came very late, and they kept busy until half the sky was covered with a magnificent sunset.

The pulp pool has already been plastered with cement and is waiting to dry, and Shen Huaijin's stove is also set up in close proximity.

Shen Huaijin stood up and took a few small steps, suppressing the weakness all over her body. "Li, grab a wild bird that lays few eggs, and we'll make stewed wild bird with dried bamboo shoots tonight."

He fetched the soaked dried bamboo shoots, and went to pick some scallions and ginger.After the preparation, he put the processed wild bird into the tank and put ginger slices, and added water to cover it.After the water boils, skim off the blood foam, add dried bamboo shoots, scallion knots and a little salt, cover and simmer over low heat.

The remaining dried bamboo shoots are cut into sections and used to stir-fry meat.

Shen Huaijin first scrambled a portion of wild bird eggs on a hot stone slab. After filling out the scrambled eggs, put in the fat and thin animal meat and stir-fry the oil. Put garlic and dried chili into the oil. saute.When it is six or seven mature, pour in the radish cubes, then add salt and licorice powder to taste.Add water to cover most of the ingredients, and then simmer for about 15 minutes.

It's rare for him to put his mind into cooking these days, and he didn't want to stop for a while, so he brought fresh taro and made a mashed taro dessert.

The soup needs to be stewed for a longer time to taste better, so the two of them ate other dishes first.

As soon as Shen Huaijin tasted the fat but not greasy, fresh and spicy animal meat, he felt so delicious that he wanted to bite his tongue off.

While admiring, he regretted, "Sure enough, the meat still needs to be fried with chili to taste, but unfortunately there is only so much left in the dried chili. If you want to eat it again, you have to wait for the chili we grow ourselves to bear fruit."

Li picked up a few pieces of fried meat for Shen Huaijin, and comforted him: "Don't worry, the peppers we planted are now bearing green fruits, and there are still a lot of them. I guess we will be able to harvest a lot in the off season."

"Not only peppers, we also have potatoes." Shen Huaijin imagined the scene of a bumper harvest, "If there is a lot of harvest, make more hot pot base and potato starch during the low season, so that there will be no worries about delicious food in the cold season. "

While chatting, Shen Huaijin didn't forget the soup on the stove. Guessing it was almost ready, she sprinkled some licorice powder into it, and boiled it for about 5 minutes before bringing the pot to the stone table.

After opening the lid, the aroma is overflowing, poking with chopsticks, the bird meat has been stewed until crispy.

Shen Huaijin filled two bowls of soup and tasted each. Although the stewed soup did not have many seasonings, it was better because the dried bamboo shoots and wild birds were extremely delicious ingredients, and it was sweet and tender when it entered the throat.

Shen Huaijin was a little full, she drank a bowl of soup and put it down, and Li took care of the rest.

It is indeed a lot hotter, but the orcs and sub-beasts of the primitive tribes do not have to take a bath every day like Shen Huaijin, so Shen Huaijin had to wash her body and hair in the room to cope with it.He actually wanted to take a quick bath in the stream, but he was worried that the orcs would think he was "playing hooligans", so he had to give up.

Li was brought up by him to develop a good habit of cleaning every day. No matter whether it was voluntary or forced, he was not allowed to go to bed without taking a bath or wiping himself.

"When can I take a good shower." Shen Huaijin complained softly while lying on the bed after wiping her body.

"In two days, the sub-beasts should wash together."

Shen Huaijin sighed, "In such a hot day, you should wash it every day, otherwise you will have a bad smell on your body, and it is inconvenient to wipe your body frequently in the house, and it will make the floor very wet."

Li stood by the bed and lit the lamp, and proposed after hearing the words: "Anyway, there are still a lot of plant ash, how about building a pool behind the storage house for you, and I will fetch water for you when you want to wash?"

Shen Huaijin's eyes lit up, and she rolled up from the bed, "That's good, build a bathtub to wash yourself, so you won't disturb other people, and you can wash whenever you want."

Seeing his happy look, the orc's heart softened, "Then I'll build it for you tomorrow."

Shen Huaijin smiled. Now that he saw the bright future, he was not in a hurry, "Let's build the things for papermaking first, and the bathroom is not in a hurry."

Li leaned down and hugged him, and gently kissed the other's long and thick eyelashes, only feeling full of liking, "Baby, tell me what you want in the future, and I will try my best to satisfy you."

Shen Huaijin knew that the "doing my best" in the other party's mouth was not a perfunctory word, but would really try her best to help her fulfill her wish, so she couldn't help being moved, she raised her head and kissed her lips, "Me too."

Stimulated by the other party's initiative, the orc's breathing became heavier, and his big bronze hands wrapped around Shen Huaijin's chin like iron tongs, "Open your mouth."

Shen Huaijin was startled by Li Sudden's fierce facial features, she opened her mouth obediently, her tongue was immediately held, and she was forced to feel the other's hot lips and tongue, the ferocious biting and invasion made Shen Huaijin feel relieved It was so cool that the hairs stood on end, and trembled like leaves falling in the wind.

"Don't be afraid." Feeling the trembling of the body in his arms, Li stopped, while pecking and kissing his bright red lips, while hugging him, stroking his back and comforting him gently.

"You're suddenly so... fierce, I'm a little nervous." Shen Huaijin murmured before she fully recovered from the pleasure.

He laughed in a low voice with unknown meaning, his eyes were filled with thick green, and he helped Shen Huaijin tie up the half-length black hair that had been loosened in the violent collision just now.

"You have to adapt."
