Crossing to Live in the Wilderness Plains

Chen Qi smiled and handed the things to A Jing, A Jing put the little wolf cub down, wiped his hands on the clothes, and then took it carefully.

But Ah Jing was not in a hurry to look through it now, and after entering the room with Chen Qi, he put the drawing on the table, and took a clean small piece of wood to press it down so that it would not be accidentally knocked off.

"Chen Qi, do you want to take a shower now?" Ah Jing ran to Chen Qi after putting away his things.

Chen Qi put the backpack on a futon, stretched his waist, nodded when he heard Ah Jing's question, and sighed: "I just want to take a warm bath comfortably, and then lie back in my comfortable bed. Get a good night's sleep in the bed." Even if you don't have to walk by yourself, it is very tiring to run in the wilderness for so many days.

After getting the answer, Ah Jing turned around and went into the bathroom. Not long after, Chen Qi heard the sound of water coming from the bathroom. Chen Qi walked in suspiciously, and saw Ah Jing standing on a wooden stool, He took a large wooden spoon from a large wooden barrel that was taller than him, and scooped water into the bathtub next to him one by one.

Chen Qi hurried over and took the wooden spoon from Ah Jing's hand, "I'll fix it, you go outside to read the album." After speaking, he frowned and looked at the water in the big wooden bucket, "Put this water in It’s been more than two months, so it can’t be used anymore.”

"I called yesterday." Ah Jing retorted.

"what?"

Ah Jing pointed to the clear water in the big wooden barrel and said, "Ali said that you will come back in a few days, so I fetch water every day. The water used to be used to water the crops in the yard. " Following Ah Jing's words, the little wolf cub next to him also puffed up his chest, and howled as if to prove what Ah Jing said.

Such a big wooden barrel, taller than Ah Jing's small body, is now full of water, and he brought it back alone?

Chen Qi looked at him in disbelief, a warm current surged in his heart, he rubbed A Jing's hair viciously, until the other grinned his teeth and began to dodge before stopping.He rolled up his sleeves and said to Ah Jing: "Help me light the fire to boil the water. Let me scoop the water into the tub."

Ah Jing nodded, went to the stove and stuffed the dry firewood in, picked up the flint next to him and started to light the fire.

After the water was heated, Chen Qi was not in a hurry to wash, but went out to call A Ze, who was preparing to eat at this time.

Someone has probably been cleaning the house, and there is no dust. Chen Qi took the things in A Ze's hand, pointed to the direction of the washroom, "The water is hot, you should wash it first."

"But..." The dish was only half cooked.

"It's okay, just leave the rest to me." Chen Qi interrupted the other party, and pushed the other party into the bathroom without any explanation, "I'll bring your clothes in for you, you go soak in the tub first. "

Looking at the closed wooden door of the bathroom, Aze smiled, and did not insist on going out to continue cooking. Instead, he took off his clothes, washed his body with water, and stepped into the bathroom without even using figs. In the bucket, the warm water surrounded his whole body, and the fatigue during this period seemed to be washed away by this warmth.

After Chen Qi delivered the clothes for A Ze and came out, he found that A Jing had already put A Ze's half-processed meat and potatoes into the pottery plate, and added a few slices of ginger, green onion and garlic to cook the potato stew. The porridge boiled on a smaller earthenware dish has begun to steam.

Chen Qi walked over in surprise, "When did you learn how to cook?"

"Seeing how many times you have cooked, I would have known how to do it long ago." During Chen Qi's absence, A Li not only made pottery but also taught the tribesmen how to make clothes, and sometimes helped with the prey returned from hunting. , and the crops in the two yards, etc., are very busy every day, and there is no time to cook every day. Later, Ah Jing took over the task of cooking. Although the cooking is not as delicious as Ali's, it is too complicated The dishes are still unmanageable, but at least the simple dishes made are not unpalatable.

Unexpectedly, I haven't seen him for more than two months, and this little kid has grown a lot. After complimenting Ah Jing a few words, he saw that there was nothing to do by himself, and Chen Qi thought about it, so he also took a set Clean home clothes went into the bathroom.

Because of the hot weather, Chen Qi didn't heat the water too hot, and removed the fire when the temperature was almost the same. He only used the residual heat of the charcoal fire to dry it, and there was no smoke or moisture in the room when he entered the room.

Aze was quietly lying on the edge of the tub, probably because he had been on the road for a whole day after he was on duty last night. Now he was a little drowsy after soaking in the warm water. Even Chen Qi came in None were found.

Chen Qi walked over, gently brushed away the other's bangs, and there was indeed a faint circle of dark circles under his eyes, so he leaned over and kissed the corner of the other's eyes with heartache.

As if feeling someone touching him, Aze raised his head, his expression was a little confused, "Why did you come in?"

Chen Qi patted the other person's forehead with his hand, and scolded with a smile: "Don't you know that falling asleep while taking a bath is very dangerous? What if you drown?"

"I'm sorry." Aze bowed his head and admitted his mistake with a good attitude.

Chen Qi didn't really want to blame him. After putting the clean clothes aside, he began to take off his own clothes. A Ze still couldn't react, and asked blankly: "What are you doing?"

"Taking a bath." Chen Qi replied very naturally, he originally made the big bathtub according to the size that can accommodate two people, if he doesn't make good use of it at this time, when will he use it?

The tips of Aze's ears were slightly red, and then spread to the base of his ears, and then his neck. He turned his head and stopped looking at Chen Qi.

Chen Qi smiled lightly, threw away the clothes he had taken off, and stepped into the bathtub.

After taking a bath and eating a full meal, it was already getting dark. Ah Jing had already moved his things back from Ali's house. Chen Qi didn't want to go to bed right away after eating a full meal. After walking around the yard, he looked at the When I got to the tall fig tree, I remembered the wine that had been buried before. It should have been fermented for such a long time.

Chen Qi went to the room and asked Ah Jing to go to the next door and call Ali to come over. After all, there was also some wine made by Ali in it, so naturally he should also know what it has become now.

I heard that not only A Li, but also A Zhang and A Yan and A Yu who lived with them came to dig wine. There is a wall between Ka Luo's house and Chen Qi's house, and Ake heard the news with his ears. After the movement on the side, he also came out with Carlo holding A Yao, but when they heard that they were going to dig wine, they came over curiously.

Chen Qi, who was holding a bone hoe, looked at the crowd of people around him speechlessly. Fortunately, there was an uninhabited school next to him, otherwise he was really afraid that the whole tribe would come to see it.

Chen Qixian found the wooden sign with the earliest recorded time, pulled it out, and started digging down along that place. In more than two months, finger-long weeds have grown in this area, and the soil has become firm. Afraid of breaking the jar, Chen Qi dug it very carefully.

After digging out the jar, Chen Qi was a little nervous. It was his first time brewing fruit wine. Although he had checked the production method of fruit wine when he was working on a project related to the manor, he was not sure if his steps were wrong.

Opening the seal on the jar, a strange smell rushed towards him, Chen Qi's heart skipped a beat, with a bad premonition.

"Is this wine?" Carlo pinched his nose and asked, worried that he would smoke A Yao, and took a few steps back.

Others have subtle expressions when they smell this scent.

Chen Qi frowned, and didn't answer Carlo's question. Instead, he moved closer and smelled it. Although it smelled of alcohol, it wasn't very strong, and mixed with the smell of alcohol, there was also a sour smell and a hint of mud. The fishy smell is like the smell that something will have after a long time.

Let Aze help dig out all the other jars of wine, all of which have this strange smell.

Seeing Chen Qi's unhappy expression, Ali asked worriedly: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with this wine?"

Chen Qi shook his head, "I don't know if there is a problem in the brewing process or the method of burying the wine. This wine doesn't smell like wine."

"Wine that doesn't look like wine?" Ali was confused by him, what is that?

Chen Qi went back to the room and took out a chopstick, dipped some on one of the wine jars, then stretched out his tongue to lick the liquid stained on it, as soon as the liquid entered his mouth, Chen Qi spit it out quickly Coming out, frowning, he picked up the previously brewed tea on the wooden table next to him and rinsed his mouth. How should I put it, the wine tasted like a good jar of wine mixed with a pile of rotten muddy water.

Everyone else watched Chen Qi's actions, waiting for him to tell the result.

Chen Qi looked around at the crowd, drooped his shoulders, "Sorry, the brewing of this wine failed."

Ali was stunned for a while. The steps of brewing wine seemed simple, but it took a lot of time. Unexpectedly, it failed after brewing. "Do you know the reason for the failure?"

Chen Qi told him about the taste he had tasted, and then described the taste of the real wine. After listening to Chen Qi's description, Ake pondered for a while, "Since it has the smell of earth, could it be Are these jars filled with water? Does this wine have to be buried in the ground to make it?”

"..." Chen Qi replied a bit awkwardly: "No, it doesn't have to be buried in the ground." He would not tell these people that he had a brain twitch at the time, thinking that those people on TV would find them every time they brewed wine. Dig a hole in a certain place and bury it, and in a few years you will be able to harvest a jar of mellow and delicious wine, so I have followed suit.Could it be that this matter itself is wrong, or is it because the materials used to make wine are different?Is there a fundamental difference between the wine brewed from grain and the fruit wine brewed by oneself?

For Chen Qi, who has never been addicted to alcohol, he only drank a few sips of beer at most. In the past, his colleagues often teased him that he is a good boy who does not smoke or drink, so he was dragged away at the party when he came here I drank too much, I didn't expect to be drunk for the first time in my life, and I was drunk.

Seeing that Chen Qi was silent and did not speak, Aze thought that the other party was hit by the failure of brewing wine. After all, Chen Qi had never done anything wrong. He stretched out his hand and squeezed Chen Qi's palm, and comforted him: "I will come back tomorrow. Go pick some fruits and come back, and then brew it again?"

Although Ayan didn't know what the so-called wine was, she also said, "I'll help you find it tomorrow. What kind of fruit are you looking for?"

"This wine is made from grapes."

"There should be a lot of grapes in the forest at this time, how many do you need? You can pick them back in a day."

Seeing that everyone was chattering and trying to comfort himself, Chen Qi smiled, "Okay, let's brew it again tomorrow. After the next brewing, I will treat you to a good wine."
