Beginning Backpack [Farming]

The rainy season is over, the weather is clear and the weather is clear.

The world seems to have a new look, the sky is clear and clear, the air is fresh and sweet, making people feel more open.After Shen Huaijin and Li Kaicheng were honest, their relationship became more intimate and natural.

After the continuous rainy period, the collection team was going to pick mushrooms as usual. Anlai invited Shen Huaijin to leave the valley together, but he declined.

It's not that Shen Huaijin is too lazy to go out, but the road is muddy after the rain, and his jungle boots are very inconvenient to wash, and he doesn't want to wear straw sandals to step on the wet mud.

An didn't force him. Anyway, Shen Huaijin had a lot of novelty things on hand, and it was enough to exchange a few baskets of mushrooms with the Asian beasts. Besides, he and Li both had a fixed quota, so they were not afraid of not being able to eat mushrooms.

Shen Huaijin was only busy with his own affairs in the tribe. He first dried all the peppers he had just picked, and spent the rest of his time on tying bamboo reeds and hemp.

He and Li stopped after finishing two bamboo reeds. Anyway, one loom is enough. If there are other needs, we will talk about it later. After all, it is really not easy to make bamboo reeds.

Shen Huaijin carried the milk bucket to milk at noon. Because of the rainy season, he didn't go to milk for several days. The two hairy animals accumulated a lot of animal milk, and Shen Huaijin squeezed to about twice the usual amount.

Li was surprised and said: "There are so many, are they all made into ginger milk today?"

Shen Huaijin shook her head, "No matter how good ginger milk is, I can't eat it every day. I plan to bake it into powdered milk and save it, so that when the hairy animals stop producing milk in the cold season, we can also drink milk."

Li took the milk bucket, "That's fine, I've been eating ginger and milk before, and I'm getting tired of it."

Before the rainy season, the milk production of the hairy beasts is very stable every day. They not only give some to the old people and cubs, but also use it to exchange things with other sub-beasts or orcs, but basically they can still have some left to drink for themselves.

"But how can animal milk be turned into milk powder?" Li asked.

Shen Huaijin thought for a while and said, "Light the fire first."

He poured the animal milk into the tank, boiled it slowly over low heat and kept stirring it slowly with a spoon, paying attention not to let the animal milk boil, until the animal milk became thick and yellow in color. At this time, the animal milk was about It's one-third to one-fourth of the original amount.

Shen Huaijin spread the pre-concentrated animal milk on a heated bamboo tube, dried it slowly, peeled off the thin milk film, and crushed it into milky yellow milk powder.

The milk powder made by this "earth method" is relatively large, and some places are even a little burnt. Shen Huaijin soaked a cup and found that the taste was the same, so he satisfactorily stored all the milk powder in the jar.

"In this way, we can drink hot milk in the cold season." Shen Huaijin smiled contentedly while drinking milk.

Li wiped off the milk stains on his lips with his thumb, and said warmly: "I like to drink it so much, then make all the animal milk into powdered milk and put it away."

Shen Huaijin nodded, "It is indeed more convenient to make milk powder. You can brew it whenever you want to drink it, and it can also be made into other delicious foods."

After the rainy season, the tribe will prepare to go to the market.

At dinner time, Yan really announced that Li would lead a team to the Omori Tribe for the market five days later.

After the meeting, Shen Huaijin pulled Shangli to talk to Yan to see if he could go to the Dasen Tribe with the market team.

To his surprise, Yan slightly agreed after thinking about it, and Shen Huaijin didn't even need to use the draft he had typed in advance.

Seeing that Shen Huaijin was a little strange, Yan explained: "In fact, it is common for some tribes to follow the sub-beasts to the market, but before the Dahe tribe could only exchange salt with animal bones, animal skins, etc., it took a lot of time to hunt on the way. , It’s very inconvenient to bring sub-beasts. Now the tribe can bring pottery, bone knives and other things to collect and exchange for good things, so they don’t need to spend a lot of energy on hunting, so they can naturally take good care of sub-beasts.”

Shen Huaijin was overjoyed when he heard the words, and even wanted to bring Yu to meet the world. Later, thinking that Yu was underage after all, and it was the first time for the tribe to try to take sub-beasts to the market, it was safe to say so, so she didn't say anything.

"By the way." Yan turned to Li again, and said: "You are going to the market for the first time, and you are not familiar with the road, so I don't worry. When the time comes, I will pick a few experienced orcs to put in the team. Remember to be serious Listen to their opinions and take good care of Dawu."

With a solemn face, he nodded solemnly.

Shen Huaijin bid farewell to Yan with Li and left the house.

Along the way, Shen Huaijin had an uncontrollable smile on his face. Seeing Shen Huaijin's high spirits, Li asked with a smile, "Is it so happy to be able to go to the market?"

Shen Huaijin glanced at him, looking forward to Shenghui, "Of course. I have been here for more than a year, except for the ten days in the wild beast jungle, the rest of the time I can only wander around the valley. It is amazing to go out and play. Just a surprise."

Squeezed his palms, "I have never been out of the hunting range of the Dahe Tribe. The road to other plains is long, and I will definitely see a lot of interesting things on the way. It is a pity that I can only go to the Dasen Tribe this hot season, but in the future I will also take you to other original places to play. I heard that the big river in Tianheyuan is connected to the sky, and the principle of stone fire often has earth fires gushing..."

Shen Huaijin interrupted him, eyes full of curiosity, "Ground fire...?"

He pursed his lips and said hesitantly: "I haven't seen it before, but I heard that there are many mountains in Shihuo, and from time to time there will be a large area of ​​red fire gushing out. Some orcs saw with their own eyes that a wild beast was touched by the red fire, and it burned in a few strokes. Gone."

Shen Huaijin rubbed his chin, "If I'm right, those are all active volcanoes, and what is ejected is not fire, but magma formed by the melting of rocks at high temperatures, and the temperature is no lower than fire. No wonder, before I I also wonder why the tribe in Shihuoyuan has pottery-making technology, but they can’t form a large tribe. The environment in Shihuoyuan is indeed more difficult than that in Linshanyuan.”

"You've made me interested, and I must visit the other three places in the future if I have a chance."

"Well, let's go together."

While listening to him, Li took Shen Huaijin's hand and walked towards their house.The night is like water, the hustle and bustle has stopped, only the chirping of insects and the soft chatter of Shen Huaijin, everything is beautiful and peaceful.

It was only five days before the day of departure for the market. Shen Huaijin was originally overwhelmed with joy, but when she lay down, she thought of the land she planted and the livestock she raised, and then she remembered that she was no longer alone and relaxed as when she first came here. He is a person who "goes as soon as he says he can go".

Li closed his eyes and embraced Shen Huaijin, breathing lightly.

Shen Huaijin stretched out her hand, and gently tugged at the other person's silver hair, only to see that Li opened his slightly misty green eyes, but within a few seconds, he regained his clarity.

"What's the matter, baby, is it too hot?" He took a board on one side and fanned Shen Huaijin.

Shen Huaijin sighed, "I'm used to the heat. I'm worried about the land and livestock at home. It's been half a hot season since we left, so they won't be taken care of."

Li gently combed Shen Huaijin's hair roots with the five fingers of his other hand, soothing his emotions, "Just let the people in the tribe help to watch, An often comes to help, and probably knows how to take care of it. Before we leave Just a few more instructions. If it doesn’t work, call Shangshi again. He works steadily. Although he is old, he can still do things like dig potatoes and feed livestock. When the time comes, he will directly take the things exchanged from the market. Some of them, and you don't have to worry about these things."

Shen Huaijin originally planned to ask the members of the tribe to help, but she was mainly worried that they would not know how to do it well, so she felt a little anxious.Listening to what Li said now, I also think it makes sense, so I calmed down a bit.

Shen Huaijin rubbed his generous chest, annoyed by the other party's anger, and dodged a little annoyed, "That's fine, I'll go to An to discuss it tomorrow."

He held him tightly to prevent him from leaving, and kissed his forehead and the tip of his nose, "Go to sleep, baby, we have to be busy these two days, and we need to prepare the things we need to bring to the market in advance."

Shen Huaijin nodded slightly in his arms, and said in a muffled voice, "I know. Go to bed early too, I won't disturb you."

Li didn't say anything, just closed his eyes and fanned Shen Huaijin silently, until the man in his arms breathed evenly and shallowly, then put down the board, hugged him and fell into a deep sleep.
