Beginning Backpack [Farming]

We will be leaving soon, and Shen Huaijin is busy, not only preparing the items that need to be brought to the market, but also arranging all the matters at home.

The peach trees in front of the house did not have much fruit left after several times of picking, so Shen Huaijin got up early and picked them all, planning to eat and give away the rest in the next few days. Make peach jam and store.

The peach flesh in the cooking pot was tumbling, and the peach juice gradually concentrated and became sticky.Shen Huaijin shook the sugar bowl, and found that the candies that had been boiled before were running low. Surprised by the speed at which they consumed the candies, she couldn't help sighing.He originally thought about bringing two cans of candy to the market to exchange things.

"What's wrong?" When Li came back from feeding the livestock, he saw Shen Huaijin frowning.

Shen Huaijin lifted up the empty pot to show him, "The sugar is almost used up, you can cut some fresh licorice later, we have to boil a few pots now. Remember to cut more, I want to bring sugar to the collection For something."

Fortunately, after the rain, licorice grows wildly, and large handfuls can be seen everywhere inside and outside the valley. It is only a matter of time before we cut more and less.

Li went to the work shed to get the tools, and when passing by Shen Huaijin, he casually said, "The shrimp traps have not been collected for a while, I will drop by later to see if there are any shrimps left, if there are more, how about fried prawns in oil at night?"

While stirring the peach meat, Shen Huaijin replied loudly: "Okay. Remember to help me see how the wild potatoes by the river are growing. Our potatoes don't seem to be at the best harvest time yet."

After Li left, Yin and An brought a few sub-beasts across the bridge to look for Shen Huaijin. They carried many rattan baskets on their backs. They were sending sweet potato vermicelli that the tribe could make before the rainy season.Yin asked everyone to put the vermicelli directly in the storage room.

Shen Huaijin asked in surprise, "Why are there so many?" At first glance, there were nearly twenty baskets, which was completely incomparable with last year's quantity.

Yinzheng instructed everyone to come in and out in an orderly manner and not to mess up Shen Huaijin's room. Hearing this, he turned around and explained: "Not many, this year the tribe harvested more sweet potatoes than last hot season. Here are eight baskets allocated by the tribe You and Li have a fixed amount. The other eight baskets were also agreed upon by the tribe. Since you taught the tribe how to make sweet potato vermicelli, I will give you an extra portion each time. As for the remaining four baskets, you gave the whole tribe Making food takes a lot of energy and ingredients, and four baskets of vermicelli are not much at all."

Shen Huaijin quickly waved his hands, "Teaching everyone how to make vermicelli is a piece of cake. Most of the ingredients used in the cooking are from the tribe. There is really no need to give me so many vermicelli. Besides, Li and I can't finish it."

An patted him on the shoulder with a smile, "Okay, Jin, you can accept it. All members of the tribe think this is very suitable. It doesn't matter if there are too many, you can just exchange other food with everyone."

The sub-beasts who were in charge of carrying it also booed, and one of them joked, looking at the young one, "Jin, Li has such a big appetite, are you afraid you won't be able to finish it, hahaha."

Only then did Shen Huaijin respond dumbfounded.

The Asian beasts left after delivering the vermicelli, and Shen Huaijin asked An to stay alone.

"Ann, you should have heard that I'm also going to the market this time, right?"

An nodded, with a bit of annoyance on his face, "The members of the tribe know it, and some sub-beasts are quite envious. Let me tell you, the road to the market is hard and tiring. If you want anything, let Li replace you Why go by yourself if you can’t find it.”

Shen Huaijin said earnestly: "I can't fully describe what I want for a while. It's better to find it by myself than to let someone else replace it. With Li by my side, I'm not afraid of suffering and tiredness."

Seeing An's look of "understanding", Shen Huaijin smiled and rubbed his short hair, "But there are a few things I need to ask you for help."

Hearing this, An Zheng straightened his expression, "Say it."

Shen Huaijin said: "Look at the land I plant and the livestock I raise, they are all inseparable from care. During the time I'm away, can you take care of me?"

Ann laughed, "What did I think it was? Of course it's fine. Tell me what you need to do. I'll take care of it for you."

Then Shen Huaijin came one by one, "Feed the wild birds and the hairy beasts once in the morning and evening, and use the peels and wild animals left over from the tribe to eat; the excrement of the livestock is shoveled once every two days and piled directly in the fermentation tank next to the potato field. ;Bird eggs are collected every day, and animal milk is squeezed every day; the field does not need to be looked after, I will harvest all the peppers in these two days, as for the potatoes, I may have to let them grow for a while. Before returning to the tribe, please help me dig it and put it in the storage house, and I will deal with it when I come back. All the tools I need are placed in the work shed.”

After finishing speaking, Shen Huaijin was also a little annoyed and added embarrassingly: "Things are really complicated, and I will ask Shi to come over to help. As for the bird eggs and animal milk collected during this period, you two will work as usual." Divide as much as you like. By the way, if you want anything, I will bring you some back from the market."

An waved her hand casually, "It's not a lot of work. I'll finish it when I have time. You don't have to think about bringing me anything. But we have to eat bird eggs and animal milk. Things don’t last long.”

When he said this, Shen Huaijin also remembered, "There is a way to make animal milk into milk powder and store it!"

Shen Huaijin took out the milk powder he made yesterday, and An dipped a little bit with her finger, put it in her mouth and tasted it, her eyes lit up, "It's quite fragrant, is this made of animal milk?"

Shen Huaijin nodded, "Stay a little longer, I'll show you how to milk the animal."

An suddenly smiled, "That's good, I can keep the milk powder for you."

Shen Huaijin insisted: "Half and half, you can keep some for yourself, how comfortable it is to drink a cup of hot milk in the cold season. What else do you want, I will exchange it for you at the fair."

An shook his head, "I really don't have anything to change. There is enough food, pottery, and salt can be exchanged with the tribe. By the way, if there is anything you want, Jin, can you exchange some chili seeds for me?" , I also want to grow chili next season, it tastes really good.”

These peppers were originally the only ones in Linshan. An knew that Shen Huaijin had worked very hard to cook these peppers, and the output was not particularly large.

Shen Huaijin smiled knowingly, "What's so difficult about it, I'll send you a basket of chili peppers after drying, and it's up to you to decide whether you want to eat or grow them."

An agreed with a blushing face, sat down and boiled the remaining peaches into jam with Shen Huaijin.

When Li came back with several handfuls of fresh licorice on his back, Shen Huaijin was teaching An how to make milk powder from freshly squeezed animal milk.Seeing that they were busy, Li didn't bother them, and took the licorice and went straight to the workshop to grind the juice.

An held the milk film on the bamboo tube while pulling Shen Huaijin's arm.

"What's wrong?" Shen Huaijin asked strangely.

An smiled mysteriously, and said in a low voice: "Li, the orc has changed a lot since he was with you. He didn't care about anything before, and he didn't even care if he ate food. A fierce force, the rest of the time is either sleeping or teasing the cubs, how can I live so carefully like now, and work seriously."

Shen Huaijin raised his eyebrows. He had thought that Li's previous life should have been less refined, but he didn't expect the contrast to be so great.

An said self-consciously: "I grew up watching Li. I never thought that the boy who didn't shed a tear after his father left could actually find a partner who was willing to make him surrender."

These words became more and more wrong, Shen Huaijin touched the tip of his nose in embarrassment, and signaled Ann not to say such strange words again.

An saw his shyness, and said with a smile: "It's normal, an orc has always treated his partner like this, especially an orc with a beast shape like Li."

Shen Huaijin coughed lightly, and changed the subject: "Making milk powder is probably the same process. Let me teach you how to salt bird eggs. The wild bird eggs that can't be eaten for now have a special flavor when salted."

An knew that he was thin-skinned, so she stopped teasing him, and hurried to the other side after finishing her work.

When An left, Li happened to come back with several handfuls of fresh licorice on his back. After watching An leave, he asked Shen Huaijin, "What were you talking about when you were making milk powder? You kept looking at me?"

Li felt that he vaguely heard his name several times.

Shen Huaijin said casually, "I'm talking about our relationship."

Li Sharp's brows and eyes stretched, and his heart settled down, "Of course, come on, baby, let me kiss you."

Shen Huaijin was quite helpless, and originally wanted to push away that naturally heroic and stern face that sometimes made strange expressions, but when he thought of the child who was still too stubborn to shed tears after losing his beast father one after another, he again A little soft-hearted, he simply stood there and let the other party hug him and ask for a kiss.

After the kiss, he touched the soft and cute silver hair of the other party, and asked softly, "How much licorice juice have you squeezed?"

Li put his chin on the top of Shen Huaijin's head, "I'm tired, I need my brother to hug and hold me high before I can answer."

Shen Huaijin frowned, "Don't flip through my emoticons!"

He laughed sharply, and then answered seriously.

Although he sometimes looks out of shape, he is still reliable in his work. He squeezed three cans of licorice juice in one morning, and Shen Huaijin estimated that he could boil out more than half of the cans of sugar.

"You continue to cut licorice, I think you have to boil at least four cans of sugar, take two cans to the market, and use the rest for yourself." Shen Huaijin instructed, "I have to dig some clay in the afternoon, and burn it tomorrow. Most of the several batches of pottery will be exchanged for the tribe."

Li was a little dissatisfied that he was so tired, "Now every member of the tribe has more or less pottery and other things exchanged from you. These things can be exchanged for a lot in the market. You don't have to worry about this anymore. Busy."

Shen Huaijin raised her hand and tapped his forehead, "Having said that, as a great witch, I have the duty to do things for the tribe. Apart from other things, the tribe has never asked me to hand over food for distribution. Give some."

Shen Huaijin's tone of voice was very gentle, as if she was talking to the imaginary child.

Li was fascinated by Shen Huaijin's attitude, his heart softened, and with a very obedient appearance, he told the things Shen Huaijin asked one by one, "Just now I went to the big river to see, many shrimp traps It was washed away by the rain, and there were not many shrimps left, so I didn't catch them. The wild potatoes there are not as good as those in our own field, but they are quite big, do you want to dig some?"

Shen Huaijin shook her head, "Those wild potatoes are not large, let them grow freely, no need to dig. By the way, if you go to the river again later, bring back the remaining shrimp pots, anyway, we will There's no time to get the prawns, and it's not right to let them die in cages."

"Yeah, listen to my brother."

Shen Huaijin: ...

Shen Huaijin sighed, ever since Li knew most of the commonly used Chinese characters and learned how to use a mobile phone, the situation was once out of his control.

The author has something to say: Reflect on yourself, what emoticons are there in your phone?

By the way, I don’t know if everyone found out, I signed the contract (covering my face shyly)
