After entering the bird tribe, I want to farm

This day is the busiest day in Baiwu's house since the beginning of winter.

Their house was full of people inside and out. Orcs and sub-beasts sat in front of the big wooden basin with small benches, chatting and helping to shed duck feathers.In addition to those who help with hair removal, there are also those who help with viscera and internal organs.The sun shone down, illuminating everyone's wheat-colored faces.

The sun above the head was just right, and Bai Wu's family lit several pots of charcoal fires to warm the top of the mountain.

Two big wolves crawled around in the crowd, rubbing against people's legs from time to time, begging for food.

These two guys are used to acting like a spoiled child. Everyone can't get enough of them, and they will always throw a few pieces of meat to them. Whenever this happens, they will jump up and catch them with their mouths.

The clever look made everyone laugh.

67 ducks, a tribe divided seven large wooden basins.

Everyone sat around the big wooden basin and plucked the ducks.

Everyone was working, and their attention slowly fell on the duck in their hands:

"This duck is really big. I saw that the ducks raised by the Yeming clan were a little smaller than this duck."

"That's for sure. With the help of Master Wu, can the ducks raised be normal?"

"Chuan, what do your ducks usually eat?"

Chuan looked up, "Eat everything, small fish, shrimps, clams, leftovers from aquatic plants and wild vegetables, eat whatever you can."

"That's pretty good?"

Chuan smiled: "Yeah, I haven't worried about raising them. Do you want to raise them too?"

Hearing Chuan's question, the Bai people looked at me and I looked at you, with smiles on their faces, and there was a bit of embarrassment in the smiles.

Bai Wu also laughed, "If you want to raise ducks, when spring comes next year, our family will hatch more ducks. I'll send a few to the tribe, or you can exchange things with me."

The clansmen answered one after another:

"That's good. If you raise ducks, you can make more salted eggs."

"Could it be possible to raise them in the river? I think these ducks are matured, so they shouldn't run away?"

"When we go out to collect, we can bring back some wild vegetables that ducks eat."

Everyone plucked their duck feathers and imagined about the duck breeding in the coming year, and they talked very happily.

Everyone was happy, and the movements of the hands were fast. It didn't take long for the duck feathers to fade away, leaving only some small stubbles that needed further processing.

The ducks in Bai Wu's family are very big, and they have many feathers left over. The large and small feathers are piled up together, which looks very beautiful.

The clansmen were quite interested in their feathers, and asked them to ask for some, planning to make clothes.

Bird people are a race that are very keen on decoration. They like to decorate clothes with various materials, or directly make them into ornaments.

Bai Wu agreed in one breath, "You can take as much as you want, as long as you leave the fluff to me."

"You want fluff, what's the use of it?"

"I want to try to see if it can be made into clothes."

"This fluff can't do it?"

The Bai people held the duck down in their hands to observe.

No matter how soft and delicate these duck downs are, there is still a small stalk in the middle.

This kind of material is twisted into thread, I am afraid it will not be so easy to use.

Ya said: "If you are short of clothes, the tribe still has cloth and animal skins in stock, so I can send them to you first."

Bai Wu waved his hand, "I also sent you a batch of fabrics. We don't lack that. I just want to try it out and see if I can make some clothes with duck down."

Bai Wu's reason is very good, "The weather is so cold, anyway, I have nothing to do, so I might as well make something."

Everyone expressed their understanding after hearing the words.

Bai Wu wanted duck down. When everyone was plucking the duck feathers, he put the duck cage aside and collected them first.

These fluffs are very small and light. When they are received in the basket, they need to be covered with a special cover, otherwise they will fly around.

After the duck down reached a certain size, Bai Wu twirled it with his hands.

These ducks are bigger than the ducks he saw in his previous life, even bigger than the geese he saw, and the duck down they produce is also very large, piece by piece, like jellyfish floating in the air.

Bai Wu smelled it, and felt that the smell was small, and the down jacket should be successful.

Everyone was busy for a long time, and finally cooked all the ducks in the evening.

67 ducks are hung on wooden poles in a long row, which looks very shocking.

The weather is too cold now, almost dripping into ice, even if it is hung outside, it will be fine.

Bai Wu greeted the clansmen to have dinner first and not to worry about the ducks.

The clansmen smiled and washed the wooden basins and dustpans of their house, leaned against the foot of the house to dry, and then came to eat.

Baiwu will be reheated, and the ingredients will be moved to the side of the pot. Please sit down.

The flames under the stone pot were blazing, and the soup was boiled quickly, and the hot air rushed to the face, making everyone's cheeks moist.At the same time, the rich aroma of bone soup lingered in the sky, attracting all the gluttons out.

Everyone smiled and scooped up the soup with spoons. Before the ingredients were put in, they first drank a bowl of hot soup to warm their bodies.

Bai Wu went to bring out the dipping materials, and asked everyone to make the dipping materials by themselves, and poured out the meat on the side of the pot to start cooking.

Their family has plenty of meat, which is kept outside on ice, and now it is just right to slice it for hot pot.

Bai Wu first put a duck that had been cut this year into the pot, and then put down the frozen animal meat. Seeing that the animal meat was not enough, he put in two additional pots of sliced ​​bacon.

All kinds of meat are tumbling in the hot pot soup, and it quickly changes color.

This is cooked.

Bai Wu greeted everyone cheerfully, "Move your chopsticks quickly, you're welcome."

"It's delicious! The tribe also cooks meat, but the taste is not as good as yours."

"Then eat more, the dipping ingredients are here, you can adjust what you want."

Following Bai Wu's call, dozens of pairs of chopsticks reached into the soup pot, scooped up the meat and ate it.

The meat cooked in the hot pot soup has a strong taste, and then rolled in the dipping sauce, while the meat is hot, stuffed directly into the mouth, the delicious gravy can burst in the mouth, the salty flavor of the seasoning and the deliciousness of the meat The perfect combination makes people unable to stop talking.

Everyone took one chopstick after another, and scooped up the meat in the pot to eat.

When the meat is almost eaten, everyone puts duck blood, duck intestines, duck kidneys and other internal organs.

Bai Wu's ducks have been raised for nearly a year, and they are usually fed miscellaneously. The quality of the duck meat is also very good, and even the internal organs are extraordinarily delicious.

These internal organs don't need to be cooked for a long time. After they are scalded in a pot, they are picked up, dipped in a little dipping sauce, and the original flavor of it is delicious enough.

The giblets were a big hit with everyone.

After eating the duck's offal, Bai Wu's family brought out sliced ​​lotus root, taro slices, potato slices, fat grass, leeks, rice noodles and other vegetables and homemade food, cooked them in a pot, and shared them with everyone.

The hot pot was almost finished, and everyone shared a bowl of pot bottom with seasonings and bone broth. After the hot pot was eaten, the belly was bulging and the back was sweating, so it was barely finished.

After eating the hot pot, Bai Wu's family stood on the side of the hill, watching the clansmen leave carrying duck blood, duck meat and duck offal.

"I'm really tired today." Bai Wu sat down on the wooden pier, "I don't want to move anymore."

"Then don't move." Chuan added two sticks of firewood to the bottom of the stone pot, poured out the hot water in the stone pot, poured two spoonfuls of cold water into it, and sprinkled two spoonfuls of ash into it by the way.

He had to boil hot water to clean the stone pot where the hot pot was boiled.

Bai Wu lazily fiddled with the firewood, stretched out his hand and approached the stove door to warm up, "I can't move, I'm killing ducks and eating hot pot today, I have to take a shower and have my hair cut."

Nan Yao walked past him, rubbed his head, "I'll carry you on my back."

"Okay! Wait for me to rest for a while to digest food."

Kishi asked next to him: "What should I do with these duck downs? Why don't you carry them to the hot spring to wash?"

"I forgot about the duck down." Bai Wu patted his head, "First dry it in the sun, let it dry to remove the smell, forget about the hot spring, I'm afraid it will stink the hot spring."

"Then I hang them up?"

"Put it in the cloth bag first. I'll do it tomorrow. I'm exhausted. Do you want to go to the hot spring?"

"Even if I want to go, I won't soak in the same hot spring with you, you can soak your own."

Bai Wu was not polite to his family, so he took a rest, and after recovering, he went to soak in the hot spring with Nan Yao.

Having a hot spring is much more comfortable than taking a bath at home. Especially when you want to wash your hair, you can wash your hair clean, and you can soak in the hot spring while waiting for your hair to dry without feeling cold at all.

After Bai Wu and the others killed most of the ducks at home, it became easier to feed the livestock.

They specially stored a lot of grain and grass before, and with ducks, the grain and grass were not enough. Now that there are no ducks, even if other livestock are released to eat, they can't consume so much grain and grass.

In order to strengthen the resistance of the livestock, Bai Wu specially let them go to feed them, and now they have a buffet for the livestock.

The livestock couldn't eat enough, and they became visibly fattened to the naked eye.

Especially a few pigs, their buttocks are round, and their stomachs tremble when they walk, and they look so naive.Every time Bai Wu came to feed the pigs, he would stare at the pigs with fiery eyes, imagining the deliciousness of killing the pigs in his mind.

On this day, after feeding the pigs, Bai Wu habitually stared at them, "I think these pigs still have room to grow."

Nan Yao glanced at it, "I guess there are, and there will be dozens of catties more meat when you kill them again during the Chinese New Year."

"At that time, we can invite the clansmen to come over for a meal of slaughtering pigs. It will not be easy for everyone this year."

"The sheep of the Bai people should be well raised."

"Then let's exchange the pork for some mutton. Braised mutton is also delicious."

They feed the livestock and go home.

Bai Wu saw two baskets of duck eiderdown hanging from the eaves, raised his hand to pick up the baskets by holding the bottom of the baskets.

The basket containing the duck down is not heavy, Bai Wu gently put it on the ground and opened the lid.

There was a big cloth bag in the basket, and there was a layer of duck down gathered outside the cloth bag. As soon as he opened the lid, the duck down floated out and touched his hair and clothes, making him very uncomfortable.

He reached out and grabbed a handful of duck down that was sucked by static electricity, put it under his nose and smelled it, and there was almost no duck smell.

These duck downs were boiled in boiling water before they were hung to dry, and the effect seemed to be good, so there was no need for further processing.

Nan Yao leaned over from behind him to see, "Can you make clothes now?"

"In theory, yes." Bai Wu spread out his hand to show him the duck down in his hand, "but this cloth is not good, we have to find a finer cloth for the inner liner of the down jacket, otherwise the down will run away."

They hang the duck down under the eaves, and the duck down is everywhere. If it is made into clothes, the duck down will definitely fly around like cotton wool in spring.

When Bai Wu thought of that scene, she didn't want to make clothes anymore.

Nan Yao twirled the cloth bag with his hands, "What should I do then? Twist the thread again and weave a finer cloth?"

"Let me think about it first. I feel that the current cloth is not very good, and the cloth made of cotton thread is not very good."

The down jacket that Bai Wu wore in her previous life was so dense that the holes were invisible to the naked eye.

The cotton cloth here, I don't know if it's a problem with the craftsmanship or the material, it feels rough to the touch, and the holes can be pulled out with a light pull.

This material is fundamentally not suitable for down jackets.

They had to find something a little more special.

Bai Wu knew it well.

He not only searched for it by himself, but also mobilized his whole family to help him find it together. When he was free, he wrote and drew in a small notebook, trying to find a perfect solution.

Several days passed, and the family members submitted several materials, which were rejected by Bai Wu again.He doesn't know what kind of cloth is okay, but he knows what kind of cloth is not.

He needs a cloth with a fine texture and a relatively light weight.

It’s better to be light and warm, otherwise, in this kind of weather, the heavy and cold cloth is too uncomfortable to wear on the body.

For example, the fish skin they are looking for is not very good.

Fish skin is fine enough, but not light and warm enough, so it is not a good material for down jackets.

Bai Wu racked her brains, considered and ruled out almost every material she saw on a daily basis.

He pondered for several days, but couldn't come up with a solution, so he had to put down the down jacket temporarily.

They'll have to look again.

After all, the level of productivity in this world is too low. Even if he knows the theory, he can't do anything about it.

Another morning, when Bai Wu woke up, Nan Yao was beside her, her warm body was warmed by the quilt, and her skin had a pleasant smell.

For a while, Bai Wu couldn't help herself.

Sensing his movements, Nan Yao lowered her head, kissed him on the forehead, and then lowered her hand to cover his hand.

The two made a fool of themselves, and the sky outside became brighter and brighter.

It was rare for Bai Wu to take the initiative to stop, her forehead was pressed against Nan Yao's chest, and she refused with flushed cheeks, "I won't come, we have to go down."

Nan Yao kissed the tip of his ear, her voice was low and hoarse, "I really won't come."

"...for the last time, I will go to see our white clams later... I haven't seen them for a few days."

Nan Yao stroked his lips and said in a low voice, "Okay. Let's hurry up."

Bai Wu held his finger in one mouthful, "Don't be too fast!"
