Beginning Backpack [Farming]

It was agreed to go to the mine during the day to step on the spot, so Shen Huaijin got up very early.

The air in the morning was fresh, and he took a few deep breaths. He felt as if he had been washed from the inside out, and his whole body was refreshed.

The valley was still silent, only occasionally there were a few clear and crisp birdsong from far and near, and then slowly weakened.

Shen Huaijin first went to the bamboo crossing to pick up two buckets of water, and then washed up.The green grass where he walked was covered with tiny dewdrops, and he only wore simple and snug sandals. After walking twice, his feet were in a mess.

The wet feeling was really uncomfortable, so Shen Huaijin took the hard-soled rattan shoes in the duplex shed and ran down the stream to wash her feet.

Shen Huaijin put one foot into the cool stream, fiddled with it casually, and saw many small fish swimming by in the stream.

Seeing that Lie Xin was happy, he didn't care about washing his feet, and quickly fetched a small rattan basket that had been filled with things before, and caught a lot of small fish at once.

It just so happened that it was still early, so he could fry some small crispy fish to eat before setting off.

After washing and extruding the internal organs of the small fish, marinate them with salt, ginger, garlic and licorice powder for about 10 minutes.During this period, Shen Huaijin went to feed the livestock and collected the new eggs laid by wild birds.

He took five of the wild bird eggs, broke them up, put in an appropriate amount of sweet potato powder and salt, and stirred them into egg liquid.The marinated small fish is first coated with egg liquid, then put into the oil pan, and deep-fried over high heat until the outside is crispy and the inside is tender.

Shen Huaijin specially fried the fish twice so that the fish bones would be more crispy.

After the crispy fish was taken out, he used the leftover fish soup jelly, fish sauce, sugar cubes and some other seasonings from last night to make a marinade, put it in the cooker to make it thick, and then fried the fried crispy fish Pour in, stir-fry twice, so that the fish is evenly coated with the marinade.

The fresh scent had already diffused, and Li, who rarely slept late, was awakened by this craving scent.He grabbed his messy silver hair and walked out of the room.

Seeing that the big guy didn't wake up, Shen Huaijin hurriedly greeted him: "Go wash up, I made fried crispy fish, eat it while it's hot."

"Okay." Li said with a nasal voice, and obediently went to fetch water.

While he was washing and chopping firewood, Shen Huaijin cooked another can of vermicelli, and the two brought breakfast to the stone table together.

The small crispy fish is golden in color, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The marinade tastes fresh and sweet, very appetizing.In particular, the fish bones inside are fried so crispy that you can just chew it and swallow it. It’s refreshing to eat a small crispy fish in two bites.

The two had just finished their breakfast when Iwa and Rin came over. They were waiting to go to the mine together and discuss where the base should be.

Knowing that everyone was in a hurry to build the second road, Shen Huaijin didn't hesitate, changed her shoes and set off.

After leaving the valley, they walked directly in the direction of the mine.On the way, Li took everyone to see a new plant that he accidentally discovered the day before.

This is a creeping plant with oval leaves and thick fruit stems with grooves, especially the small fruits hanging on the vines, Shen Huaijin recognized it at a glance.

"It's a pumpkin!"

The three orcs on the side squatted down to watch, and Li took the lead in asking, "Is it edible fruit?"

"En!" Shen Huaijin nodded, "Eatable, pumpkins are easier to grow, and the yield is also large, and the pumpkin leaves and flesh can also be used as medicine."

He looked around and found that there were not many pumpkin vines visible to the naked eye, unlike taro and sweet potatoes, which could be naturally grown to meet the needs of the tribe.

Li saw his concerns and suggested: "Let's decide the location of the base first, and see if the road to be built needs to go through here. If we want to go through, then we will transplant the pumpkins into the valley; if we don't go through , then when it is mature, we will pick it again, take its seeds and plant it next year, how about it, Jin?"

Iwa and Rin also agree with this.

Shen Huaijin nodded, "That's the only way, let's go, let's continue."

The four figures rushed along the stream beside the bamboo forest, and continued to move forward after arriving at the iron mine, and did not stop until they could see the stone forest not far away.

They are currently stepping on a large open area, with a stream running through it on the left, and a large forest on the right. There is a stone forest in front that provides limestone, and there is a mine that provides iron ore.

If this place is used as the base, the required kiln will be built on the flat land covered only with green grass and low shrubs.Then in future production, water, fuel and raw materials are all within easy reach, which can greatly improve efficiency.

Shen Huaijin walked around for several times, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that this place was a natural treasure, most suitable for the development of the tribe's industrial zone.He told everyone about the situation of the land again, and then asked, "What do you think?"

In fact, he didn't need to elaborate, the three orcs present could also realize that this land was indeed suitable for a base.Everyone didn't worry too much, and just decided on the location.

"Jin, you said earlier that you would build kilns at the base, do you think we need to build those kilns?" Yan asked.

"The main ones are lime kilns and iron smelting furnaces, but in order to build the city wall faster, we need to build a few more." Shen Huaijin glanced at the stream beside him, "I see that there is a lot of clay in this stream, At that time, two brick kilns will also be built, and some bricks will be burned and transported back to the tribe to build houses."

When he said that, everyone understood.

Shen Huaijin was cautious in doing things, and went to the edge of the stream to have a look.Because this section is upstream of the mine section, the stream is fairly clear.He squatted down and carefully observed the clay quality.According to his experience, if the estimation is not wrong, the quality of the clay here is not bad.

The clay was also mixed with a lot of impurities. Shen Huaijin swam the stream water and found that it was all milky white quartz sand.The only component of this silicate mineral is silicon dioxide, which is the raw material for making glass.

Shen Huaijin threw the clay and quartz sand back into the stream, and now he had a plan in his mind.

Because of the delay on the way, they took a lot of detours just now, so it took a lot of time.At this time, the sun was already high, and without the shade of the trees, it would still be a little dazzling.

The important matter has been decided, and Shen Huaijin didn't delay any longer. He said to the orcs: "Yan, Li, Lin, let's set the location of the base like this. Don't change it if there are no accidents. Also, do you think it is necessary to connect the valley? Does the road to the base need to pass through the pumpkin patch?"

The three orcs glanced at each other, then shook their heads tacitly.He said sharply: "I won't pass by, it's still far away. Don't worry, Jin."

Orcs have a natural sensitivity to direction, since Li Du said so, there is nothing wrong.Shen Huaijin can also feel at ease. After all, the survival rate of transplanting is not 100%. If it is not necessary, he does not want to take the risk of touching these temporarily scarce pumpkins.

After everyone discussed it, they planned to go back along the shortest route, that is, the route that the orcs would repair at that time.In this way, the three captains can step on the points along the way to see if there is any particularly difficult place in it, and the route needs to be adjusted appropriately.

Just when everyone was about to get into the forest and leave, a cry caught their attention, and the four of them looked up one after another.

From their vantage point, they saw a huge bird flying out from behind the high snow-capped mountains.

Its wingspan is extremely wide, but its movements seem light and nimble. The color from head to tail is from light to dark. The head is bright red, with a few strands of purple feathers standing on top of the head, and the tail that is almost half the length is thick to black, like a storage The sun shines brightly.

The giant bird is flying in the wind, with its seemingly soft tail fluttering, it hovers leisurely in mid-air, and makes a melodious cry from time to time.

Everyone was dumbfounded, Shen Huaijin murmured: "This...what is this?" He tugged at Li beside him, hoping to hear an explanation.

Li was also at a loss. He had hunted here so many times, but he had never seen this kind of big bird.

Yan on the side hesitated and said, "I feel like this is a black-tailed divine bird..."

"Black-tailed divine bird?" Everyone repeated in unison.

"En." Yan nodded, and he took a closer look at the circling giant bird, confirming his thoughts even more, "I haven't seen this kind of bird before, but I heard Xiu mention it before. He said that the black-tailed god The bird has a long black tail that also glows in the sun. It is generally very large and lives far away from the tribe."

"Then... where is its spirit?" Shen Huaijin asked curiously, with anticipation in her heart.God bird God bird, it sounds like you have face.

"Uh... I forgot." Yan scratched the back of his head embarrassingly, "When I was a kid, Xiu mentioned the divine bird to me, but I was just playing with it and didn't pay much attention to it. But I remember that this kind of bird almost never appears in front of our eyes, and only appears under certain circumstances, which is why we have never seen the black-tailed magic bird with our own eyes before."

"Yan, if you stop talking and whetting our appetite, we're going to be angry." Li listened carefully, seeing that Yan said that he didn't get to the point for a long time, he was almost dying of anxiety, and wished he could remember instead of Yan.

Yan scratched his head, "Hey, I really forgot."

People are helpless.

Shen Huaijin looked up at the black-tailed divine bird, silently remembering the appearance of this mysterious and beautiful creature in her heart, and then said: "Yan, just forget it. Anyway, we will live here forever, waiting for the next time When I see the black-tailed divine bird again, I may understand."

He glanced at Li and Lin respectively, "The new route hasn't been stepped on yet, and it's getting late, let's go back quickly."

After he reminded them, the three orcs realized that there was still a task ahead, and they hurriedly followed the direction just now, and headed into the forest.

Behind him, the melodious cry continued for a long time.

They have not encountered any particularly troublesome road sections along the way. At most, there are big rocks blocking the road that need to be dug out, or a few small swamps that need to be filled, and the rest are wooded areas. When the time comes, the required road width will be cut. Then you can level the tree stump.

After understanding the situation along the way, the four of them were relieved.If there is no accident, this shortest route can be completed soon, and then the base will be convenient for construction.

Shen Huaijin was gearing up.

The industrial production work of the Great River Tribe is about to start.
