Beginning Backpack [Farming]

After discovering coal, everyone was very excited and rushed back to the valley at noon the next day.

The members of the tribe headed by Yan have long been waiting at the entrance of the valley, and everyone is looking forward to it, either expecting or curious.

Before he had fully reached the mouth of the valley, Shen Huaijin had already been swarmed by An and a group of sub-beasts who swarmed in and asked him all kinds of questions and carried his luggage.

An looked at his obviously darkened and thinned cheeks very distressed, and somewhat complained that he was asking for trouble.

Shen Huaijin smiled and rolled her eyes, "How can you say it so seriously."

Shen Huaijin motioned Li Xian to report to Xiang Yan, and told him to focus on explaining the beast attack on the road and the coal just discovered.He himself has to distribute the exchanged items with other orcs. Those who should belong to the tribe belong to the tribe, and what should be distributed to individuals should be distributed to individuals.

And his rice and beans, although they were dried in the sun, they would inevitably get wet with some dew if they spent the night in the open air. Shen Huaijin dragged out his bamboo raft and carried the rice and beans all the way Spread out by category and spread out little by little, and take advantage of the sunshine in the afternoon, and then take good care of it to remove the tide, so as not to spoil during storage.

When everything was done, it was almost evening, Shen Huaijin didn't delay any longer, took the two bags of salt that he had changed, and went to Ann's house on the other side of the stream.

An put away the two bags of salt, quickly invited Shen Huaijin to sit down, and curiously asked him what happened on the way to the market.

Shen Huaijin picked up some interesting or thrilling ones, and told him in detail, of course there are many things about wind.

The experience of going to the market team made An exclaimed again and again. When talking about Feng, An couldn't help but sigh: "Then this bastard is quite pitiful. When Li was young... wait a minute, you can't be so kind to that bastard just because of this." Bar?"

Ann's eyes widened.

Shen Huaijin was amused by his expression, patted his forehead, and did not refute, "It's part of the reason, but the main reason is that this kid is in a poor situation. Before I left, I asked the leader for a few words. Yan Ji still has to borrow from the Dahe Tribe, so it's not like he won't give me this face."

An Ri nodded thoughtfully, and then said with a smile: "Indeed, it's just a few words. After all, I'm still a kid, so I can help."

"By the way, I usually take care of your livestock and potato fields. I thought that you would not come back in the off-season, so I would collect the potatoes for you. Now that you are back, you can decide when to dig. Well, when the time comes, just call me and give a quick shout."

After all, the Dasen Tribe and the Dahe Tribe are in the same Linshanyuan, and the distance is relatively close. Even if they are delayed on the way, it is not like Lin went to Tianheyuan to go to the market before. when food is harvested.

Shen Huaijin smiled, "That's a good thing. I've been out for so long, and I still miss the days in the valley. Now I can finally farm and pick in peace. During this time, I will stock up more food with you."

An remembered something again, and added: "By the way, I have been milking animals every day during this time, and I made most of them into milk powder. You can take half of them back later."

Shen Huaijin didn't refuse, but asked An to go to him to milk fresh animal milk more often.

They chatted for a while, and then Shen Huaijin walked back with milk powder, raw food and some pickled side dishes.

Things were put away in the hot season, and the small dishes he made were given to Ann before he left. Now there should be some vermicelli and condiments at home, and these small dishes were given to him by An for emergency use.

After being away from home for so long, everything felt strange. Shen Huaijin touched the stone table and bench in front of the house, passed the bamboo path, and looked at the livestock before entering the house again.

As the sky was getting dark, Li Ye finished his work report, and as soon as he came back, he hugged Shen Huaijin and moaned and groaned.It happened that there were a lot of vermicelli on hand, so Shen Huaijin planned to cook some vermicelli. He didn't bother to distinguish between two flavors, so he simply cooked bone broth vermicelli, which was light and delicious.

Shen Huaijin cooked a large pot of bone broth powder, and fried a few delicious bird eggs.

Sitting in front of the stone table, he slurped the powder seriously one bite at a time, his heart was full of irony, he looked up and found that the other party was also staring at him.

The two smiled at each other.

With the delicious and warm soup in his belly, Li Wanwan licked his lips. This hot food cooked by Shen Huaijin had long been missed by him who was on the go.

After the meal, Li cleaned up the bowls and chopsticks, took out a clean animal skin quilt, and wrapped Shen Huaijin into a comfortable bed.

Fluorite radiates a faint light in the corner. After traveling for a long time, they can finally live in the world of two again.

After waking up the next day, Shen Huaijin made a routine inspection.

An took care of it very carefully, which can be seen from the fat and strong livestock, but Shen Huaijin was still a little worried that the hairy beast would not be able to survive in the cold season, and was afraid that it would be a waste of time, so he wanted to kill two of them first. Roast the whole lamb, and by the way, reward the orcs who have worked hard at the market.

But no matter what, we have to pass the busiest two days.

Shen Huaijin went to look at the potato field again.

To be honest, the growth of the tubers was not obvious, and Shen Huaijin estimated that this was almost the limit, so he didn't wait any longer, and called Ann, and the two dug out the potatoes buried in the ground one by one.

"There are so many!" An said in surprise, "I didn't expect to hide so many one by one underground. Jin, are you planning to fry so many potatoes?"

Shen Huaijin was pulling aside a rattan basket full of fresh potatoes, and replied, "It's too easy to get tired of eating. I plan to pick some of them and make potato flour, which is similar to sweet potato flour. This way can be more."

An Dao: "That's okay, it's convenient to store it as powder, and it's not afraid of spoilage. Potatoes are really good, but it's a pity that it takes too much time to grow."

Shen Huaijin thought for a while, and said, "Actually, I don't think the potatoes have grown much since the rainy season. I plan to try to plant two batches next year. One batch will be planted during the rainy season, and another batch will be planted when the rainy season is not so hot. batch."

An Zan agreed: "That's pretty good. This way, I can harvest two batches of potatoes a year. If you're too busy, just come to me and I'll do it for you."

Shen Huaijin smiled sincerely, "Ann, I have really troubled you during this time, without you, I don't know what to do at home."

An Zong looked at Shen Huaijin with disgust, "Why are you telling me this, I have to thank you for allowing me to get so much milk powder and bird eggs!"

They chatted and worked very fast. After a whole day of work, they dug the entire potato field, and Shen Huaijin received a total of twenty baskets of fresh potatoes.It was getting late at this time, and he was too tired to stand up straight. Fortunately, Li had prepared some hot food after he returned from hunting. He called Rin, and the four of them ate some casually for dinner.

The hot season is coming to an end, and the wind at night brings a cool feeling. The four of them are sitting on a stone bench, eating warm food. An also tells them the latest interesting stories of the tribe from time to time. Even Rin, who is always serious, can't help but follow along laugh.

After the meal, Shen Huaijin and everyone piled the remaining potato seedlings on the side of the animal pen. Although these seedlings were a little droopy, it was a suitable choice to feed the multi-haired animals, and it would save the multi-haired animals from starving in the cold season.

In the Beastman Continent, jumping from the hot season to the cold season is very fast, Shen Huaijin couldn't be lazy, and got up early the next day.

He first exposed the rice and beans to the sun. To be honest, he also thought about eating a small part to try something new, but for the sake of future happiness, he held back his momentary desire to talk and kept them all as seeds , I plan to put them in the sun for another day, and put them all in the storage room after drying the water, out of sight.

Today he also plans to make some of the potatoes directly into starch.

Shen Huaijin harvested a total of [-] baskets of fresh potatoes, all of which were enlarged rattan baskets specially used for storage. Dry it in a dark and ventilated place for three or four days before storing it.

The method of making potato starch is very similar to making sweet potato starch. Shen Huaijin and Li washed the potatoes, peeled and pestled them into slag, then put them into cold water and rubbed them repeatedly with hands until the water became cloudy. Pour the starch water that comes out into another pot, continue to add water to the potato pot, and repeat the operation until all the starch is washed out.

Finally, they mixed all the starch water together and let it stand. After the starch sank to the bottom, they poured out the upper layer of water, and the remaining starch slurry was exposed to the sun.

The six baskets of potatoes were handled by Shen Huaijin one by one. He stood up and looked into the distance for a few times, and told him to look at the starch slurry so that no dirty things would fall in. He then walked to the potato field and picked up the remaining potato seedlings one by one. When they reached the edge of the animal pen, they piled up.

Next to the animal pen was the pothole they usually used to store their excrement. Although it was covered, the smell was not good. Shen Huaijin held his breath and moved quickly.

When moving, he found a lot of salt flower particles deposited on the corner of the animal pen, and he was surprised, obviously this is not a saline-alkali land.

When Shen Huaijin got away from the dirt pit and was finally able to take a big breath, he reacted abruptly.

That's not salt in the corner, it's nitrate!

Shen Huaijin hurriedly turned her head to look for it, and sure enough, not only the corner of the animal pen, but also the side of the sewage pit, there were many salt flower-like white grain crystals.

Saltpeter in nature is often formed by the decomposition of nitrogen-containing organic substances in the soil under the action of bacteria, oxidized into nitric acid, and then combined with potassium in the soil.So whenever the autumn season is high and crisp, it usually precipitates in the shape of a shell or salt flower, covering the ground and the foot of the wall. This is the so-called ground frost, especially in the corners of the pigsty, stables, and toilets.

In ancient times, saltmen would sweep up this nitrate-containing clod, put it in a bucket, and soak it in water.After filtering, the filtrate is boiled or dried to obtain saltpeter crystals.

Shen Huaijin was still thinking about using ice cubes to cool off the summer heat, but she didn't expect to find nitrate.

Li saw that Shen Huaijin hadn't come back for a long time, so he took the initiative to look for him. Unexpectedly, when he found him, he saw the other party squatting in a daze beside the animal pen, and he didn't think the smell was bad.

"What's the matter, Jin?" Li asked worriedly.

Shen Huaijin shook her head, stood up and said, "It's nothing, I just found something useful."

He pointed to the white crystals in the corner of the wall, "Have you seen this kind of thing before?"

Li followed the direction of his finger and said, "I've seen it. There are more or less some of the sewage pits around the tribe, but they only appear when the weather cools down. You may not have noticed before. Listen Before talking about the tribe, I thought it was salt, but I didn’t know it until I tried it. Do you know this kind of thing?”

Shen Huaijin blinked, it was hard to imagine which method the tribe chose.

"This kind of thing is called nitrate, and it has many uses, but it's hard to explain now." Shen Huaijin thought, "If we can find some other things, we may be able to make a very lethal weapon."

Hearing that it needs to be paired with other things, he sighed heavily, "Take your time looking for it."

Shen Huaijin smiled, and poked his strong chest muscles, "Let's find one or two people to help me collect these saltpeter. You can change whatever you want, and you can decide the quantity. This job is a bit stinky, but it's not tiring. They should be able to find someone."

Li grabbed his restless hand and squeezed it while pulling him to walk.

"It must be done."
