Beginning Backpack [Farming]

At the end of the rainy season, Shen Huaijin finally stopped the lingering.

"You can't always prostitute yourself in the daytime!" He said angrily.

The orc—looking satisfied,—putting his hands on his chin,—playing with his cold and smooth black hair, "Okay, I won't play today."

Shen Huaijin patted the big white dog lazily, "Get up quickly, we made the bamboo reed today."

Li got up, and picked up Shen Huaijin who was lying on the bed, "What exactly is a bamboo reed? I heard you say it several times."

Shen Huaijin explained: "It is an important part of the loom. The hemp thread has to pass through the middle to weave. It may be a bit difficult to understand, but after making it and operating it on the loom, you will understand. "

Li nodded, "Then you can make bamboo reeds, and I'll take care of the rest of the ramie."

Shen Huaijin took advantage of the rain to stop and brought a few bamboos stored in the shed. After cutting them into suitable lengths, he cut the moso bamboo into bamboo slices and steamed them on the bamboo steaming stove for about half an hour to make the bamboo more resilient. By the way, kill the eggs in it.

After the steamed bamboo slices were cooled, he took the part close to the bamboo skin, which is the toughest part of the bamboo.After cutting out the required thin slices, Shen Huaijin split them into bamboo strands and polished them carefully to make each strand the same thickness and thickness.

It is very difficult to do this manually, Shen Huaijin can only do his best, otherwise it may affect the effect of weaving.

After peeling twenty or thirty pieces of bamboo, he felt his eyes were dizzy, so he couldn't help blinking vigorously, stood up and looked out the window.

Li took over Shen Huaijin's work. Although his palm was large, he used the strength skillfully. The chisel and knife for cutting bamboo shreds seemed to give birth to a soul in his hands, and he could cut a bamboo shred of uniform thickness in a few strokes.

Shen Huaijin opened her eyes wide in surprise, and exclaimed, "I didn't expect you to have this hand."

He smiled sharply, "It's nothing, the strength of the orcs will be much stronger after transformation. We will start training in the first two water seasons of adulthood, including how to control our strength, otherwise it will easily damage the people around us." thing."

Shen Huaijin suddenly realized that Xi and the others had been training with the old orcs from time to time since last year. He thought they were just learning some hunting skills, but the content was even richer.

"Then you are responsible for cutting the bamboo threads. I will tie up the cut bamboo threads first."

After finishing speaking, Shen Huaijin used grass stems as ropes, first clamped two pieces of bamboo back to back with two long sticks, and used the bamboo pieces as the two sides of the bamboo reed, and then tied the ends of the bamboo threads to the long bamboo reed with straw ropes. On the stick, each bamboo thread is clamped in the way of forward knotting and reverse knotting alternately.

Every time Li cut out a piece of bamboo, Shen Huaijin tied it up, and the two cooperated seamlessly until the bamboo thread filled the gap between the two bamboo pieces with an even density.

Shen Huaijin fetched two more long sticks, and clamped the other ends of the bamboo slices back to back.

Since the thickness of the frame and the bamboo wire are the same, and the knot of the rope is tied very tightly, the frame will basically not loosen.At this time, tie the other end of the bamboo wire to the new long stick, which is the last frame, in the same way.

The bamboo filaments in the tied bamboo reed are very close together, and the density is uniform, and the silk does not move. As a handmade product, the quality is already good.

Shen Huaijin cut off the excess part with a saw, and the bamboo reed was finished.

He couldn't help but sighed: "It looks really delicate, but it's too eye-catching, and at least one more has to be made."

Li patted him on the shoulder, "It's not raining now, you should make dinner first, I'll do the rest."

Shen Huaijin nodded, "I have no choice but to do it this way, you can do it slowly, and let's do it together if we haven't finished it."

Shen Huaijin stepped out of the house and stepped on the muddy and soft floor, feeling a little sick in her heart, but it's not his turn to be hypocritical now.

He went to the field first to look around, dug a potato, and saw that it was quite big, but it was estimated that the tuber was still growing, and it would be more cost-effective to harvest it after a while.

The peppers in the pepper field were [-]/[-] ripe again—Shen Huaijin—picked them off.Ting Li said that the sky will clear up soon, and he plans to directly dry these peppers into dried peppers and store them.

Shen Huaijin moved the two baskets of fresh peppers harvested to the storage house, and took out two velvet antlers that had been naturally dried in the shade, sliced ​​them, put them in a jar and sealed them, and then made soup or ground them for consumption when needed.

After finishing his work, he could finally think about dinner.

Shen Huaijin felt sorry for the hard work of making bamboo reeds, thinking that eating fish would make up for his eyesight, so he went to the stream to fork two fish.Today he didn't plan to make fish soup anymore, it just so happened that the chili was cooked - a batch, it was just right to make boiled fish.

After preparing ingredients such as onion, ginger, garlic, pepper, and licorice powder, Shen Huaijin put ginger, salt, and licorice powder into the processed fish, mixed well, and marinated for about an hour.

During this period, he also marinated a plate of ribs by the way. The time required for marinating ribs is relatively short, so Shen Huaijin made fried ribs first.

He wrapped the marinated pork ribs with starch and fried them until cooked. Then he stir-fried minced garlic and chili until fragrant, then put in the pork ribs and salt, stir-fried until it tasted good, and served it out.

The fried pork ribs are best eaten while they are hot, so Shen Huaijin served them to Li first.It was a rare day—it was sunny all the time, and Li was now tying bamboo reeds in the shed.

"Baby, don't be idle, feed me two yuan."

Shen Huaijin—has always been unable to resist being coquettish, so she just twisted a few pieces of fragrant fried pork ribs and stuffed them into the opponent's mouth.

Li - while chewing - praised: "It's delicious, you should eat some too."

Shen Huaijin then tasted a piece herself, and after expressing her satisfaction with her craftsmanship, she put down the fried pork ribs and returned to the stove.

The fish was almost marinated, Shen Huaijin used starch water to sizing the fish.

There is still a lot of animal oil left after frying the pork ribs in the tank. After lighting the fire, heat the oil to [-]% heat, add ginger, garlic and minced meat and fry until fragrant, then pour in a proper amount of water, add green onion knots, and boil over low heat Boil slowly.

After boiling, add the radish cubes and cook for 4 minutes, then pour into the basin.Add fish head and fish bones and cook for 3 minutes, add fish fillets and cook for [-] minute, then serve.Put pepper, minced garlic, chopped green onion, and minced licorice on the fish, and drizzle with hot oil.

Shen Huaijin brought a large pot of boiled fish to the stone table, and called Li to come over for dinner.

The orc with a keen sense of smell had already smelled the smell of boiled fish, so he immediately put down what he was doing and walked over.

He—washing his hands—asked, "Jin, what delicious food did you cook today?"

"Boiled fish." Shen Huaijin blinked slyly, "I promise it will be very exciting."

I tasted it unbelievingly, and couldn't help "hissing", and found that the spiciness was really not comparable to the previous hot and sour noodles.

Shen Huaijin smiled and handed over two roasted sweet potatoes, and made another pot of scented tea.

"The peppers have been harvested in a good batch, and the spiciness is much stronger than before. Only a few peppers are put in this plate of boiled fish, and the effect is comparable to that of the dozen before."

After taking two sips of scented tea, he suppressed the numbness on the tip of his tongue, "I didn't expect the spiciness to be so high. I was worried that these peppers were not enough to eat, but now I see that it should be fine."

After all, their chili land is not that big, and Shen Huaijin has unreservedly shown his love for hot peppers since he owned chili peppers. Li Yuan originally planned to go to the Dasen tribe to go to the market to see if he could exchange some more chili peppers, because he was afraid of Shen Huaijin. Not enough to eat, but now there is no such concern.

Shen Huaijin was also very satisfied, swallowing the still hot fish while blowing it, the mist curled up and enveloped the corners of his eyes and brows, looking extra soft and tender.It's just that he - raising his eyes to look at someone, made it impossible for the other party to ignore the radiance in his eyes.

"What's the matter?" Shen Huaijin asked, "Why do you look at me without eating? Is it too spicy?"

As he spoke, his crimson and moist lips opened and closed, and the white shell-like teeth and a red tongue could be vaguely seen.Li Po looked away in embarrassment.

"Cough, it's nothing. I'll go get some young ginger to go with it."

Shen Huaijin looked at his fleeing back and smiled meaningfully.

The second bamboo reed has already been finished—halfway. According to their personalities, they should have finished today's work, but both of them have something on their minds, so they went to bed with unfinished work.

"Jin." In the darkness, Li suddenly asked, "You probably didn't lie to me when you said that the contract will be formed next water season."

Shen Huaijin didn't know why the other party suddenly had this doubt. He groped for Li's hand in the dark and held it tightly, "Of course, are you still afraid that I won't be responsible after I eat you?"

Li smiled softly, "No."

He hesitated, "I just feel that sometimes you are by my side, but you seem to be far away from me. I am afraid that you will abandon me and leave suddenly. Only when I kiss you, does it feel like I really touched you?" Here you go."

Shen Huaijin was silent for a long time.

In the darkness, the orc pursed his lips tightly, and his heart began to shake and tremble. He was almost terrified—as if he was regretting why he said these things. Would Shen Huaijin really tell him "I don't want to make a bond" directly, just as if he hugged the other party? When she wanted to apologize, Shen Huaijin spoke up.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know that you've always been insecure in this relationship."

"After I came to this strange world, I was very scared and homesick. For a long time, I didn't dare to think about the former world, and I didn't dare to touch the present world. It was you who broke into it abruptly. My life connects me to this continent."

Shen Huaijin paused for a moment, then chuckled, "I am very grateful to you for making me realize the reality, and also thank you for allowing me to gradually rely on you."

"The me you see now is the real me who loves you. Even if one day I find a way to go back, I will never abandon you."

"Trust me, okay?"

Li hugged him tightly and did not speak. After a long time, warm liquid soaked Shen Huaijin's clothes.

"I love you, I am willing to go with you anywhere, as long as you don't leave me behind."

Shen Huaijin patted him on the back lightly, her tone was unprecedentedly gentle.

"I love you, I will take you with me wherever I go, and I will never leave you behind."

The author has something to say: this chapter writes the wolf cub so pitifully, insecurity in relationship is the deadliest thing qwq
