Prehistoric Survival Records

After a wave of harvesting, the orcs still had no way to relax, because a new round of work was coming soon.

Lige persuaded everyone to concentrate on all the busy things before winter, so that they can sit around the stove in winter.

The joy of the harvest was in their hearts, and the orcs had no problem with it.

However, Li gave everyone two days off in a very humane way. During these two days, there is no need to work, and you can do whatever you want.

What he thought in his heart was that in two days, the last batch of flax piled up to dry would basically be completely dry. After these two days of rest, he would be able to recharge his energy and devote himself to the next round of work with a more concentrated and vigorous combat power. to go.

Rigg's cunning thoughts are unknown, and the orcs are still excited about this rare two-day holiday, completely unaware that they are a set link in Rigg's construction chain, alas.

In fact, it’s not that Lige is harsh. It’s really because the tribe’s stock of four to five thousand catties is nothing to these big stomach king orcs. One hundred pigs sounds like a lot, but don’t worry about it. , Let’s let go of our stomachs, and we can eat all the pigs in half a month. With food crops, wild fruits and fungi, it’s enough to survive the winter, and we will fight famine in the next spring.

This is not what Rigg wanted at all. He envisioned the life of the orcs as sunrise and sunset, working hard on their own land with their hands, and living a self-sufficient life in a cycle, not to mention In the coming year, he plans to take a few orcs to the exchange place of the Xirang tribe. He has to prepare enough food along the way, and they have settled down, so they won't have to live a hunting life full of hunger and food.

That is absolutely impossible, and we must think of a way.

So Rieg began to grind his teeth again and ran out with the hunting team.

Once a stranger and second acquaintance, this time Rieger didn't even have to give up his face to hug the thighs of the two fathers, and persuaded them to take him and Charlie.

Rigg is not very interested in bloody hunting. He is not interested in drinking, but in the autumn forest.

Autumn is not only the harvest season for Lige and his experimental field, but also the harvest season for all kinds of plants in the forest.

The reason why Rieger didn't make a fuss about running to the forest in spring and summer was mainly because he thought that he was not a botanist in his previous life, and he could only identify some common edible plants just by looking at the leaves.

But it’s different in autumn. All kinds of common and uncommon plants are bearing fruit or bearing fruit. It becomes much easier to identify through these fruits.

This is also easy to understand, just like an apple or pear tree standing there with only long leaves but no fruit. Not everyone knows what kind of tree it is, but once a few red apples or green-skinned apples hang on the tree Yali, that is, everyone can recognize it. Rieg chose to go to the forest in autumn, and it was the same idea.

The autumn forest is definitely different from the spring forest. Although it is only the end of summer and early autumn, the temperature is extremely high, but the leaves of the tree species that should change color are slowly changing color, and the trees that should lose their leaves will symbolically fall from time to time A few leaves have fallen.

Rigg and Charlie walk through the woods hand in hand, and they can knock over a lot of surprising things from time to time, all kinds of fungi, chrysalis, nuts, berries, it can be said that there are all there are.

Lige originally wanted to call the adults to come and take back all the edible things he saw in front of him. Recently, his mouth is a little weak, and he just picked some fresh vegetables to go back to improve the taste. Zhengmei, who knows that there is a huge one behind. Surprised and waiting for him.

Bypassing the huge plane tree, Rieg walked backwards, picking up fungus and fungus on the ground while walking, and suddenly stepped on some round things, slipped his feet and sat down on the ground, muttering Complaining, but after seeing the things under his feet, he suddenly opened his mouth.

Look what this is, it turned out to be a chestnut!

Rigg immediately looked back.

ho-

This dense hedgehog-shaped fruit fell on the ground, isn't it a chestnut with a shell?

At this moment, he didn't dare to complain anymore. Fortunately, he just tripped over a few chestnuts that popped out. If he went further back and sat on the chestnut shell, he would die.

The key is, Chestnut (＾－＾)V.

This is really drowsy, and someone will give you a pillow. There are probably hundreds of chestnut trees growing densely around here, all of which are heavy with fruit.

As one of the nuts most eaten by the ancient Huaxia people, chestnuts are rich in starch and polysaccharides, as well as a certain amount of protein and inorganic salts. Whether eaten raw, fried or roasted, they taste better , as long as he thinks of the sweet and glutinous taste of chestnut meat, Lige can't help drooling.

Hurriedly blew a whistle to call the fathers, this is the secret signal agreed with the fathers, prehistoric cubs are mostly free-range, as long as the fathers can reach the place within a few breaths, it is the playground for the cubs, the whistle wears It has strong penetrating power and is crisp and loud. Dads can hear it from a long distance, and they can come right away.

Sure enough, the fathers arrived within a few minutes. Probably because today's hunting went relatively smoothly and ended early, the orc warriors were also idle, and they were all greeted by Rigg with a whistle.

But it happened just in time, and I was worried about not having enough labor.

"What is it?" Keshan was more excited than his fathers, "Is there any danger?" He asked while looking left and right.

Rigg hurriedly waved his hands to indicate that everything was safe.

"I found this chestnut." Rieger showed Keshan the chestnut he had pushed aside.

Keshan's sensitive nose moved, and he smelled a plant smell, and turned his head disinterestedly.

The fathers took the chestnuts and put them in their mouths to taste under Rigg's encouraging eyes.

"The taste is not bad." Laika said against his will, he just didn't want to hurt the fullness of his cubs. In fact, they are cats, and they like to eat meat much more than plants.

"Oh, this one is raw, it may not taste very good, once it is cooked, it will taste super good, Dad, don't you like roasted pork with potatoes, this chestnut can also be roasted with meat, it's no better than potatoes It’s bad, it tastes better when baked than potatoes.” Lige is telling the truth, if you don’t consider fried potatoes, French fries, etc., the taste of chestnuts is actually better than potatoes.

"Also, even if everyone doesn't like it in the end, it can be used to feed pigs. Pigs will grow fat and strong after eating this, and they will add hundreds of catties of fat in the coming year."

Although he said so, what Lige thought in his heart was, huh, what a joke, feeding chestnuts to pigs?I'm afraid that when the time comes, you will even grab the pig food.

"Oh, it's okay to feed pigs, and it saves the effort of weeding grass, and this seems to be more filling than grass." Another orc thought it was feasible.

"It's all falling down on the ground, and the trees are overgrown. Just how much we can pull away, I'll go back and call Tschacha and them to pull them together."

"Okay, you can go to the patriarch and get the cart. These fresh chestnuts are full of water and they are still very heavy. The cart can save a lot of effort." Lige ordered.

After picking up the chestnuts on the ground and filling all the baskets with him, the clansman also came dragging the cart.

You don't need to tell me, I should have heard about it on the way here, the big guys separated with a whoosh, and went to pick up their own things.

Lige emptied his back basket on the cart. The clansmen were all picking chestnuts now, and he was not short of a labor force. He was going to find something useful.

The chestnut trees grew densely, blocking most of Rigg's sight. After passing through the chestnut bushes, he found that there was a hole behind him. There were hundreds of acorn trees standing behind them in a row. Pieces are all acorns.

Rigg's mouth was wide open, what kind of shit luck is this orc, did they fall into a nest of nuts?

Although this acorn is not edible for humans like chestnuts, it can be fed to pigs!

The starch content in acorns is about 60.00%, but at the same time, because acorns contain a lot of tannins, it directly leads to the bitter taste of acorns. Except for people who grind acorns to satisfy hunger during famine years, generally no one eats them. its.

If he hadn't found a forest of chestnuts first, Rieg might also remove the bitter taste from the acorns by coarsely grinding them and brewing them with a lot of running water, and use this thing to add to the orcs' meals, but now he has no That kind of thought out.

Acorns are for feeding pigs.

Chestnuts, that's what people eat!

rich?capricious.

So, another cart was assigned to transport the acorns.

The orcs pulled back again and again, and the two days of rest they had promised had passed while picking chestnuts and acorns.

In order to reward the hard work of the orcs, Rieger is going to show off his skills tonight and cook them a delicious meal with chestnuts.

So when the females were busy with dinner, Lige also dragged a few baskets of chestnuts by the firepit and tinkered non-stop.

Before the meal was ready, there was a burst of unusual chestnut aroma from the fire pond. As for the several ingredients commonly used by their tribe, the orcs were already clear after eating too much, but this sweet and starchy satiety So sweet, it smells really good.

The orcs sniffed one by one and approached the firepit of Rigg's house.

"It smells so good, Erbao, what are you cooking?"

"The taste is so gluttonous that my saliva is drooling."

"It's a bit like baked potatoes, and it has a sweeter smell than baked potatoes. What is it?"

"Yes, Erbao, tell us what you're doing."

Lige looked at them eagerly, pointed to the big pot that was cooking, and asked intentionally, "Would you like to try this, it's a new dish I invented."

"If you want, I want to eat, give me a quick bite."

"I want me too."

"It's so delicious, I have to eat it."

Rigg then picked up a wooden spoon and scooped a large spoonful of beef stew with chestnuts into each of their big bowls.

"Hiss~" A guy couldn't wait to pour a big gulp into his mouth, and it was so hot that he jumped on the spot.

"This..." was very hot.Rigg only uttered two words in a sentence.

"Mmmmmmmmmm." Even though it was so hot that his mouth was almost bubbling, this man was still stubborn and reluctant to spit it out. He didn't tear his mouth until he swallowed this mouthful, vaguely expressing that it tasted good.

With this lesson learned from the past, the other orcs became more careful when they ate it. They used their front teeth to slowly smash into the chestnut meat that had absorbed the soup and became soft and sweet, and tasted it carefully.

Soon, their eyes widened, and the expressions on their faces changed from cautious to impatient. They stirred vigorously in the gravy with a spoon to cool it down, and in a hurry, they put another big mouthful of chestnuts into their mouths, chewing and chewing. The soft and glutinous taste is so fascinating that I can't speak.

For a while, the sound of baji baji could be heard endlessly.

After he swallowed the last sip of soup, before he could open his mouth, Rieg immediately brought over a handful of big roasted chestnuts picked out of the ashes.

The chestnut skin is crispy, and you can take out the whole browned and sweet chestnut meat with a light flick of your hand. With Lige's encouraging eyes, you put a large piece of chestnut meat into your mouth and chew it with your teeth, which is different from soaking it just now. Chestnut meat with gravy, this kind of aroma is more pure, sweet and waxy is more thorough, with a hint of firewood fragrance, and another rich taste, eat one after another, one after another, Simply can not stop.

It's not over yet, just as I finished eating the handful of chestnuts in my hand, another dish of boiled chestnuts was brought up.

I have eaten rich and sweet ones. The chestnuts boiled in salt water are like a small white flower in a peony field. The light salt water stimulates the purest and natural aroma of chestnuts, just like serving a bowl of light after a big fish and meat. The simple kelp soup is so greasy and not boring.

The orcs were dazzled by the happiness of three consecutive chestnut delicacies, and their faces were full of enjoyment, and their satisfaction was beyond words.

At this time, Lige suddenly asked: "Is the chestnut meat delicious?"

"Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm————" the orcs couldn't find their mouths to answer.

"How about feeding pigs with this?" Rigg smirked.

"Huh? Ah—don't—" the orcs quickly swallowed their mouths, choked and rolled their eyes, and wailed collectively.

Rigg: Huh.

Even in a society with a highly developed food industry in later generations, stir-fried chestnuts, chestnuts, fried chicken, chestnut stew, etc. all have a place, can't you prehistoric orcs keep their mouths shut?

Rieger said everything was under control.

The author has something to say: Orcs: Really Fragrant
