On the flat ground, Chuli treated the finished bamboo frame and bamboo box with moisture-proof and anti-corrosion treatment, and coated the adhesive on all sides.

After the adhesive dries, it will form a thin layer of transparent crystal object with some softness.

The adhesive is made of pure natural fish maw without any harmful substances, so it can be used with complete confidence.

It takes three hours for the adhesive to dry completely. After the bamboo frame and bamboo box is coated with the adhesive, put it in place and leave it alone for the time being.

Chu Li went back to the cave, took the hoe, put on the basket, and went to the bamboo house.

There is a group of little tails behind, chasing after each other, lively and full of laughter.

Xin Yao ran around Chuli with a little excitement, "Brother Chuli, are you going to plant something again?"

Chu Li smiled and nodded, "Yes, I planted the herbal seedlings I picked this morning in the ground."

"Why do you need to plant medicine seedlings?"

"For convenience, after the medicine seedlings grow up, if needed, you can pick them directly from the medicine garden, so you don't have to look around for them anymore."

"Oh, I see, brother Chuli, why is no one here to help today?" The tribe today is very clean, unlike usual, people come and go.

Chu Li put the basket on the ground, "I'm giving everyone a holiday today, and I've divided up the fans at noon, so that everyone can cook something delicious in the afternoon."

"Oh."

Chu Li picked up a suitable location with a hoe and began to dig the soil.

The soil here is sticky and relatively moist. The soil sticks to the hoes, so digging is a bit slow.

Chu Li dug for a while and stopped to wipe off his sweat, his palms were blushing.

Suddenly the hoe in his hand was snatched away, and the deep voice was full of magnetism, "Go and rest next to me, I will dig."

Chu Li looked at Ao Zhan in surprise, "Aren't you going to sharpen tools today?"

Ao Zhan said concisely, "The polishing is over."

The pain in the palms made Chuli not insist on digging the soil by himself, and instead said, "Then dig, and I will fetch some water to water the ground."

Ao Zhan wished to have two of himself, "Chu Li, why don't you rest for a while, and I'll turn over the ground later to fetch water?"

Chu Li refused without even thinking about it, "No, how can I let you work alone, let's do it together."

Ao Zhan warned, "Then be careful."

"Yeah." He is no longer a three-year-old child.

The ground has been turned over, the water has been poured, and the next step is to plant seedlings.

"I see you planting, and I'll help you when I know it." Ao Zhan squatted in front of Chu Li, watching him skillfully plant the seedlings one by one, and kept repeating the planting process in his mind.

After watching the meeting, I started to do it myself.

Chu Li looked at the seedlings planted by Ao Zhan, and couldn't describe them in words. They were either crooked to the east or to the west, and they had no talent for planting at all.

"Did you really see it?"

Ao Zhan looked at his own, then at Chu Li's, his eyes flickered, "I don't seem to be very good at it."

Chu Li thought for a while, "Look, I'll show you in slow motion."

He has to go to the field to plant seedlings every day, practice makes perfect, and he grows quickly. The onlookers see him doing it lightly, but it is not the case.

Ao Zhan nodded, "Okay."

"In this way, hold the seedling in the left hand, put the index finger and middle finger of the right hand together, and dig a hole in the mud, then put the root of the seedling into the hole, and then dig back the surrounding soil to compact the root..."

After watching the whole process, Ao Zhan suddenly realized that it turned out that the slightest loss was worth a thousand miles, "I will."

Chu Li was still a little worried, "Try it, I'll watch it for you."

"it is good."

Now Ao Zhan did as Chu Li taught, and he did it in style.

Chu Li praised, "Not bad."

The corners of Ao Zhan's mouth curled up slightly, bringing out a hint of a smile, softening the contours of his rigid face.

The two of them planted the seedlings one by one in the ground side by side, which looked relatively uniform anyway. For Chu Li, who had a slight obsessive-compulsive disorder, the visual senses were very comfortable.

"Ao Zhan, come here and wash your hands."

"it is good."

At the same time, the two reached into the basin to water and wash their hands, and their hands inevitably touched each other.

Li hide at the beginning.

Ao Zhan caught.

Chu Li's hand felt as smooth and delicate as it looked, very soft and comfortable.

Ao Zhan's hands were strong, thick and rough, with a layer of calluses that had been honed by wind and sand, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

Chu Li tried to break free, but Ao Zhan held on tightly and couldn't break free, "Ao Zhan, let go."

Only then did Ao Zhan let go of his hand as if he had just woken up from a dream, his ears turned red quickly, he turned his eyes away, and went to pack the farm tools.

Xin Yao looked at the two of them with big eyes, full of surprise and joy, the older brother seemed to hold Chu Li's hand just now.

Wow, there is progress, big brother is doing well.

"Little kid, what are you looking at?" Chu Li snapped his fingers, signaling that Xin Yao had come back to his senses. Just now...his heart beat faster. Does this mean he has a feeling?

Xin Yao laughed and ran away, his presumptuous laughter echoed throughout the medicine garden.

Ao Zhan looked back at Xin Yao, this child...

But he finally held Chuli's hand, which was something to be happy about.

Chu Li, "..."

……

On the way back, Chu Li asked, "Have you gone to the seaside tribe to exchange salt in half a month?"

"About that long."

"How long does it take to go back and forth?"

"It's easier to go and it takes less time. Everyone has to bring a lot of salt when they come back, and it takes longer. It takes about two and a half months to add up."

Chu Li calculated, "Then, it should be about a month?"

Ao Zhan nodded, "Yes."

"When will you start preparing dry food for the road?"

Ao Zhan thought secretly that Chu Li had a foresight, "I was about to tell you about this, but I didn't expect you to ask first, and now I can start preparing."

"What are you going to prepare?" Chu Li had never gone out like this before, so he had to ask carefully about everything.

Ao Zhan said it simply and conveniently, "Just prepare some salt, we can hunt while walking on the road."

Chu Li tilted his head and glanced at Ao Zhan, "Then what if we don't hit him?"

Ao Zhan said as it should, "I'm hungry."

Chu Li was silent, "You are really talented."

"I'll start preparing dry food right away. You can inform them who is going, and you can come and make it with me, and then take it to eat on the road."

Ao Zhan was pleasantly surprised, "Okay, let's go tell them."

Thirty people went to the beach to exchange salt.

The journey is long, and it is necessary to choose the most powerful young orc in the tribe to go there.

When they went to change the salt, they were replaced by younger ones of some middle-aged orcs to ensure the normal supply of prey in the tribe.

After gathering, Chu Li took people to the bamboo forest...to dig bamboo shoots.

Bamboo shoots can be dug all year round, but the taste of spring bamboo shoots and winter bamboo shoots is the best. Now that we have to travel far, it is not the time to choose the taste of ingredients, some are good to eat.

The bamboo in the bamboo forest is very dense, and cutting some bamboo shoots is also good for the bamboo forest, but too dense is not conducive to the growth of bamboo.

"The task is to cut ten bamboo shoots per person, peel off the shells of the bamboo shoots after chopping, and return to the tribe when they are done."

"Yes, High Priest."

Thirty people walked into the bamboo forest, spread out, and dug open the thick bamboo leaves to find the bamboo shoots, not the small ones, but only the big ones.

Chu Li used the dry bamboo pole next to him to plan the bamboo leaves, and there were several shoot tips emerging from the mud next to the soil layer, some of them were quite large, with a little light green on the shoot tips, which looked very tender.

Ao Zhan grabbed Chu Li's wrist and pulled him aside, "I'll dig, and you are in command."

Chu Li hesitated for a moment, "Then I will be responsible for the search."

"it is good."

Chu Li didn't know whether it was experience or luck, he always found the right one, big and tender, "Come on, if you haven't found it, come here and I'll dig it."

The orcs that were not found were not polite and coy, and walked over directly. If they didn’t come here because of the problem of face, they would lose face even more if they were still digging after everyone finished digging.

In this way, Chu Li didn't dig the bamboo shoots, but helped everyone find them, which made the efficiency even higher.

After the number of bamboo shoots is dug enough, they are peeled together, and then the inedible skin and impurities on the bamboo shoots are removed, and they are taken back to the tribe.

"Wash the bamboo shoots, cut them into thin slices, boil them in a pot, pick them up and put them in the water for a while, and then put them in the sun. After drying, the bamboo shoots will become very light. You need to eat them when you take them on the road. It is delicious and convenient to soak in water when it is ready."

Chu Li explained while doing things.

When everyone followed along with the work, they all knew why I did this.

In this way, not only remember the production process, but also know how to deal with the same kind, so as to achieve the purpose of understanding by analogy.

When the orcs sliced ​​bamboo shoots, they were too thick and too thin, which made them very clumsy.

Usually they don't have to do these things, but doing such a job suddenly makes them wonder if they are very stupid, and they can't do such a simple thing well!

Seeing everyone's embarrassment, Chu Li smiled and comforted, "Don't be impatient, cut slowly one at a time, and you can cut it if you have the feel. Don't deny yourself at the beginning."

Everyone listened to the words of the high priest, took a deep breath, concentrated, and started cutting again with an attitude of not admitting defeat. Slowly, it was really done.

The thickness is uniform, the cutting speed becomes faster, and various efficiencies are improved...

As for the unsightly bamboo shoots at the beginning, they were silently thrown into the corner by the orcs.

Chu Li's gaze fell on Ao Zhan's hand next to him, he looked at it for a while, then put down the knife in his hand, and walked over to correct Ao Zhan.

"When you hold a knife, you put your fingers like this. You are holding it wrong. Don't you feel tired of cutting vegetables with this gesture?"

Ao Zhan held the knife with the gesture taught by Chu Li, tried a few cuts, and said with a smile, "I didn't feel tired at first, but now I do."

"Okay, cut it well, and pay attention to your fingers."

"Yeah." He could feel the distance between Chu Li and him getting closer, couldn't he?

Calm down, calm down, take a deep breath...

Chu Li glanced at Ao Zhan, nervous?Still excited?

After the bamboo shoots are cut, put them in a pot and boil them in cold water, add a little salt to remove the astringency in the bamboo shoots...

The fragrance of bamboo shoots slowly floats out of the pot, gradually becomes thicker, and spreads out.

After boiling, the color of the bamboo shoots will become more yellow, and it looks like cooked food

However, it cannot be eaten at this time. It is astringent and needs to be rinsed. After the rinse, the bitterness will disappear.

The fresh cooked bamboo shoots are floating in the clear water without any impurities, which looks very refreshing and comfortable.

Chu Li took a few people to the cave to take down the bamboo plaque. The bamboo plaque was used to dry starch before. After it was useless, it was washed and stored in the cave.
