After entering the bird tribe, I want to farm

This year's weather is too cold, it is not convenient for the orcs to go out, and there is no way to go out to hunt, gather, or obtain fresh food.

Bai Wu and the others stayed at home all the time, and they didn't celebrate much during the Chinese New Year. They just had a simple meal of hot pot.

There are many types of meat frozen outside their house, and eating hot pot is convenient and delicious.

In fact, the birds and beasts don't care much about the New Year.

The reason why their family celebrates the New Year is the habit of respecting Baiwu.

Bai Wu pays special attention to the sense of ritual of the New Year. His father and brother don't quite understand why, but they are still willing to cooperate. The family cooked a large table of dishes and had fun for two days.

After the new year, life seems to have returned to calm.

At least on the surface.

Bai Wu always felt that there was something different in the wilderness, as if something was dormant on the vast land, ready to move.

Bai Wu's feeling was not an illusion, as the days went by, one day suddenly, he found that spring seemed to have begun outside.

It is not the beginning of spring on the calendar, but the return of spring to the earth in terms of phenology.

He also couldn't tell which day the spring would bloom, but he only knew that one day when he and Nanyao were going out, he inadvertently glanced at the treetops, and there was a touch of bright yellow on the treetops, which were buds that hadn't had time to unfold.

Within two days after seeing the buds, many trees suddenly burst into green, and the branches were a glistening green.

They stood a little farther away, and the green spread directly on the trees.

The trees here are greener than the grass.

After a large number of branches turned green, standing on the top of the hill in my home, I could see that the opposite hill turned green instead of withered yellow.

Not to mention anything else, the greenery alone brightens people's eyes and brightens their mood.

At this time, the snow on the wilderness hadn't completely melted, and because of the melting snow, the weather was even colder than before, but the breath of spring was already evident.

The trees turned green, the weeds sprouted, and even the wild birds came out from nowhere and chirped on the branches.

"Finally it's spring!" Bai Wu stood in the sun, raised his face to let the sun shine evenly on his face, "We have to take time these two days to plow the land under the mountain, and plant a little more this year. Wind they are too edible."

Nan Yao supported his shoulders to help him support his body, "You can grow some vegetables, dry them in the sun or pickle them, and save them for winter."

"Then pickle some green onions first, then pickle some taro stalks, do you want dried radishes?"

"Let's marinate them all."

"Okay. Let's go, let's repair the barn first, and move the cows and ducks back as soon as possible."

In winter, they were too lazy to go down to feed the livestock, and they were afraid that Xingwang Valley would be too cold, so they moved the cows and ducks to the back of their kitchen for temporary raising.

It is convenient for livestock to be at home, but they also have a strong smell and are relatively noisy. Bai Wu has tolerated them for a long time.

Now, Bai Wu just wants to move them all down as soon as possible, and keep the house clean and tidy.

The two of them hadn't been down to Xingwang Valley for quite a while, but only now did they find out that last year's barn had two rooms collapsed, and more than half of the thatch on the roof of the barn had been scraped off, all of which had to be repaired this year.

In addition, the sour fruits planted at the mouth of the valley, the leeks by the stream and the bamboo at the foot of the mountain were all frozen to death and had to be replanted.

The entire Prosperity Valley is no longer prosperous, but it seems to be a waste of time.

After Bai Wu inspected the valley, he stood in front of the cowshed, feeling quite emotional.

Nan Yao's expression was very calm, and he had already started to repair the cowshed with a hammer and nails.They have tools and it's much easier to maintain than it was when it was built last year.

After clanging and knocking for a long time, the two of them considered that the livestock shed was almost repaired. As for the parts that could not be repaired, they had to wait two days to find the materials.

After Bai Wu finished her work, she stretched her waist and stared at the fruits of her labor, "I'll go back today, and bring the lime down to disinfect tomorrow. Do you have any lime at home?"

"There is still one tank, it should be enough."

"Well, disinfection here is enough. If we want to disinfect the crab forest as well, we have to go to the clan to exchange some more."

Bai Wu pondered for a while, then gave up and said, "Forget it, wait for the spring to fully bloom. I can bring some fat grass seeds down tomorrow. I estimate that at this temperature, the fat grass seeds should be able to germinate."

Nan Yao's gaze was very soft, "You can also take down some leek seedlings from the hot spring."

Speaking of this topic, Bai Wu counted with his fingers, "Not only leeks, we can also transplant bamboo, pepper, taro, sour fruit, etc., at least some of them."

Bai Wu thought, they don't need to move all of them down, they have to leave some crops on the side of the hot spring, lest there will be a cold spring that freezes all the crops to death.

Nan Yao said: "Since we've gone, we can also pick some leeks and cook them. I saw bamboo shoots the day before yesterday, so we should be able to dig them too."

"Then don't wait, let's go directly now." Bai Wu was more moved by what he said, and pulled him, "Just take a shower and come down for dinner."

Nan Yao laughed, "Then we have to go home and get the clothes."

Not only do they have to go home to get their clothes, but they also have to put the tools they are carrying home, and take the back baskets by the way, which will be used to hold leeks and bamboo shoots later.

It's still early.

It had been a long time since they ran to the hot spring so early.

The two changed back into animal form and flew to the hot spring.

I don't know if it's because of the proper training, but Bai Wu feels that his eyesight is better than last year. When flying in the sky, he can clearly see all kinds of small animals that come out to look for food on the ground, such as rats.

They had no shortage of meat to eat, and now they were busy going down to take a bath, even if Bai Wu saw it, she was not moved, she beeped, urging Nan Yao to go faster.

Listening to his urging, Nan Yao really went faster, and the wind blowing was strong and strong.

Now Bai Wu doesn't feel cold when the wind is blowing, but feels extremely refreshed.

After flying for a while, they arrived at the hot spring. Bai Wu transformed back into a human form as soon as she landed. She put down her basket and jumped to the edge of the hot spring without rushing to put on her clothes.

"Shall I rub your back?"

"Okay! Did you want to go hunting just now?"

"Ok?"

"It's just that when you fly very slowly, are you itchy and want to go hunting?"

"No, I saw an edible plant."

"Huh?" Hearing that there were edible plants, Bai Wu immediately felt relieved, and he sat up straight, "What plant, why didn't I see it, where is it?"

Nan Yao smiled, "It's the part where I was gliding. There is a long-leaved tree with golden buds. You ate it last year and said it was tender and refreshing."

"I remembered! I said how did you fly so slowly just now! Are there any buds now? Let's pick some when we go back."

"Pick, you can pick more, this kind of bud tastes good."

With new food to pick, Baiwu didn't bother anymore, he took a quick shower and rubbed Nan Yao's clothes together, urging Nan Yao and him to dig bamboo shoots and leeks first.

Bamboo shoots and leeks grow near the hot springs. These delicate plants have not been ravaged by the cold, and they grow fatter and tenderer.

The bamboo shoots were covered with thick shells, and Baiwu couldn't smell them. The leeks had a strong fragrance of leeks, and they hadn't been cooked yet, so he could already imagine how delicious these leeks would be.

After digging bamboo shoots and leeks, they didn't bother to change back into animal shapes, and walked directly along the ridge to pick the buds of long-leaved trees.

When Bai Wu was in the sky, Nan Yao didn't look as carefully as Nan Yao did, and he didn't notice that the long-leaved trees had sprouted buds. Standing on the ground, he realized that the bright yellow of the branches of a large piece of seemingly ordinary trees in front of him was not The trunk, but the newly sprouted buds.

These long-leaved trees are not tall, and Baiwu can pull down their trunks with just a stretch of his hand.

The trunk of the long-leaved tree is very brittle and has a high water content. When pinched, it does not feel like wood, but has a stem-like feel, which is very crisp and tender.

There is no need for a sickle or hatchet to pick the buds of Baiwu, just fold it lightly, and with a sound of "Bo", the buds will be picked off, followed by a unique fragrance.

Bai Wu stared at the bright yellow sprout bag in his hand, "Can this sprout bag be eaten raw?"

"It's not poisonous, and the taste is average."

"Then I'll try."

Bai Wu rubbed the bud bag with her hand, and opened her mouth to take a small bite of the young leaves at the top of the bud bag.

He tasted it, and felt that the bud buns did not have any special taste. It felt a bit like eating cucumber. Although there was no special taste, there was a fragrance that lingered in his mouth.

After a long winter, it is a pleasant surprise to be able to taste such fresh and tender vegetables, even if the taste is mediocre.

Bai Wu couldn't put it down and repeatedly looked at the bud bag in his hand, "It tastes really good, let's pick some more and take it home."

"Such a large forest is enough for us to eat for a long time."

"Then pick a little more. We can eat it fried, roasted, or marinated. I even thought of [-] ways to eat it."

Bai Wu kept his promise, and he really picked a big basket of buds and went back.

Only Chuan and Mo are at home.

The two fathers were pleasantly surprised to see that they brought back a lot of fresh vegetables, "Did you go to the hot spring? Why did you pick so many vegetables?"

"We planted the bamboo shoots and leeks, but these bud buns were harvested by accident. Yafu, daddy, let's dig out two fried Jinsha sprout buns with salted egg yolk tonight."

"Eat, there are plenty of salted duck eggs, just make them."

"I'll cook the rice first, by the way, what about An, why didn't you see him?"

"It's warm today, so I went to the tribe to play with Xi and the others."
