Chapter 11

"Changxia, can rattan shoes also be taught to the tribe?" Gen asked.

The three walked into the animal den and couldn't wait to ask about the rattan shoes. In his hand he held a pair of woven rattan shoes, which he had woven for the xylophone.

Chang Xia dipped the animal hide in water and washed his face.

"Yes." Chang Xia said: "Rattan shoes, in addition to weaving with thin rattan, can also be woven with thatch or reed/pampa reed, compared with thin rattan. Straw sandals woven from thatch and reed should be softer. "

"Okay, I'll try it later." Gen clapped his hands, very happy.

"Chang Xia, what did you eat in the morning? It's delicious." Nan Feng made a fire and added water to the clay pot on the stove. Suddenly smelling a seductive fragrance, he immediately raised his nose and asked Chang Xia.

Hearing this, Gen turned around and looked at Nanfeng.

In fact, he smelled it earlier than Nanfeng.

Very fragrant, very different from the taste of barbecued and stewed meat. It was like the smell of burnt oil splashed on the flames, and it smelled very greedy.

"In the morning, Shen Rong cooked barbecue." Chang Xia said.

After a while, she seemed to remember something. After washing his face and hanging the animal skins to dry, he pointed to the clay pot in the deep corner of the animal nest and said, "You sent half a piece of meat yesterday, I was worried that it would spoil if you didn't finish eating it. Last night, you left and I let me Shen Rong cut the meat into pieces and made it into deep-fried meat directly. Go take a look and smell it, is it that smell?"

Yesterday, Nan Feng left the tribe with half a fan of meat.

Root is informed.

The prey was hunted by Nanfeng alone, and he guessed that Nanfeng would send the meat to Chang Xia, after all, his family was not short of meat.

Actually, if the south wind hadn't brought the meat over yesterday.

Other tribesmen of the tribe, it is estimated that some people will come over.

Chang Xia was raised by the tribe, and the clan people were reluctant to let her go hungry. Nanfeng took the initiative to bring the meat over, but the other clansmen did not come.

"Yes, that's the smell." Nan Feng lifted the lid, smelled the oily aroma of the fried meat, and said excitedly, "Chang Xia, how did you make this fried meat?"

"Cut the meat into pieces, pick out the fat and boil the oil first. Then put the meat in and fry, remember not to fry too dry, the degree of half-cookedness is just right. Finally, when the oil temperature is cold, pour the oil and the fried meat together. Store it in a clay pot, and when you want to eat it, you can just take it out and cut it up and eat it." Chang Xia said, carrying the bowl over and taking out a few pieces of fried meat.

"Noon, I'll fry wild vegetables with fried meat for you."

"Patriarch, fried meat can be preserved for a long time. This season is not suitable for bacon, and fried meat is a very good choice."

Bacon, suitable for the cold winter and twelfth lunar month.

At that time, the weather became cold, and after the meat was marinated, it was dried naturally. Of course, it's different if it's smoked meat. However, the taste of smoked meat is not as good as that of naturally dried bacon, and the taste is not so good.

"Chang Xia, you wait—"

Geng listened and hurriedly reached out to stop Chang Xia's tirade.

Nanfeng also heard a different meaning. Without making a sound, Quietly took the wooden bowl in Chang Xia's hand and handed it to Gen.

Gen took the bowl and carefully looked at the fried meat in the bowl.

The serious face is a little bit of joy and complexity. He is not blind, he naturally understands the meaning of fried meat.

"Chang Xia, you're doing well." Gen slapped Chang Xia's shoulder heavily a few times, and the appearance of fried meat gave the tribe a way to preserve meat during the warm season. Arguably, deep-fried meat excites Gen more than fish balls.

Orcs feed on meat, and fish meat is also meat.

However, fish cannot replace other meats.

Deep-fried meat gave Geng a bright hope.

With fried meat, plus the bacon that Chang Xia said. In the future, the tribe will no longer have to worry about eating meat. The warm season is rich in prey. If the tribe can store enough fried meat, bacon, etc. in the warm season, they will no longer have to cut back on food in the cold season.

Geng pressed Chang Xia and let her sit aside to rest.

What to do, let Nanfeng do it directly. He asked Chang Xia to talk about fried meat and bacon, and by the way, he talked about building a kiln.

When Shen Rong came back with the basket on his back, he saw Chang Xia sitting and eating wild fruits.

In the animal den, one root and Nanfeng are cleaning wild vegetables, and the other is cutting fried meat. The wild vegetables were cleaned up by the xylophone and brought by the father and daughter.

"Changxia—" Shen Rong shouted.

Chang Xia stood up and walked over with a clean chopping board.

The animal den is not big, so many people can't turn it around. She planned to let Shen Rong chop fish and meat outside.

Geng drained the washed wild vegetables in a rattan basket and walked towards Shen Rong. He stuck his head out and looked at the fish and shrimp in the basket.

"Changxia, can you eat these too?" Gen asked curiously.

Reaching out and holding a river shrimp, his eyes swept across the river crab beside him. There are quite a few of these little guys in Baihe. The tribe can't even catch the beast cubs, the smell is heavy, and they will pinch their hands. Most importantly, less meat.

"Patriarch, these river prawns and crabs are edible." Chang Xia said.

Nan Feng stretched out his hand, stared at the river prawn in Gen's hand, swallowed, and said, "Father, the prawns are delicious."

River crab, she hasn't eaten it yet.

However, look at Chang Xia's happy expression.

Nan Feng guessed that the crab must be as delicious as the shrimp.

"Patriarch, in addition to fish, shrimp and crabs in the river, such as mussels, snails, loach, etc., these are all edible." Chang Xia said excitedly.

She saw a lot of small water holes by the lake before.

In addition to loach, there may also be eels in the cave.

These seemingly inconspicuous little guys taste very good.

Sure enough, we should speed up the collection of ginger, onion, and garlic. At the same time, it can also allow the tribesmen to live a good life earlier.

"Chang Xia, tell this to the tribe. The tribe will help you build your kiln." Gen is not the kind of person who takes advantage of his own children, so he didn't wait for Chang Xia to elaborate. He waved his hand and said the promise.

There is a lucky baby named Chang Xia in the tribe.

Root has a feeling that the tribe doesn't even go out to hunt.

With the geographical location of the tribe, the White River is enough to feed all the clansmen.

"Patriarch, is this okay?" Chang Xia looked at Geng stupidly, but for a while, he didn't come back to his senses.

Nanfeng thought.

After a while, she agreed with Gen's proposal.

Chang Xia gave these things to the tribe and asked the tribe to help build the kiln. This was indeed a good deal.

Shen Rong didn't say anything, just chopped the fish quietly.

The kiln described by Chang Xia was completely different from the animal den, and Shen Rong could not guarantee that it would be built. Now, with the tribe joining in, he was indeed relieved.

At the same time, there is some expectation in my heart. UU reading .com

"Actually, I'm selfish." Gen looked at Chang Xia with a slightly embarrassed expression.

Chang Xia pondered for a while.

Soon, she guessed Gen's "selfishness".

Kiln, she talked to Gen about kiln just now. A building different from the animal den, it can provide shelter for the orcs from wind and rain, and can also resist animal attacks to a certain extent.

Just listening to Chang Xia's description, I could hear too many benefits.

"The patriarch is referring to the kiln, right?" Chang Xia smiled and looked at the root.

"Father, do you want to build a kiln?" Nan Feng was slightly startled, surprised.

Shen Rong has a sharper sense of smell than Nanfeng. When Chang Xia told him about the kiln, he knew Chang Xia's plan. She should have a deeper plan than the religious people making fish balls.

After all, the kiln has many benefits, especially Changxia's love for the tribe.

It is impossible for her to hide and not say anything.

"The kiln is really like what Chang Xia said. It is obviously better than the animal nest. In the warm season, the tribe is safe, but in the cold season, there is still a certain danger in the animal nest." Gen said seriously, the Heluo tribe is strong, and there are few Beasts dare to attack the tribe.

However, everything is just in case.

Besides, there is a lot of rain in the rainy season, and the animal den is prone to leaks. In the cold season, in addition to worrying about the sneak attack of the beasts, I am also afraid that the beast den will be crushed by the ice and snow...

"The clansmen are used to living in animal dens and building kilns... They may not be willing." Nanfeng spoke cautiously, just like the bird clan used to build nests, and the fish clan lived on water.

Everything has its own set of rules for life.

Gen smiled and said, "When did I say that I would let the tribe build a kiln?"

"Then..." Nan Feng looked confused.

Chang Xia patted Nan Feng's arm and said calmly, "The patriarch wants me to build a kiln first. The clan people feel that the kiln is comfortable to live in, so the clan leader will naturally speak up without the need for the patriarch to speak."

Chapter 12

"Forget it. It's not my turn to talk about this." Nan Feng covered his mouth with his hands, shrugged, and muttered, "When Changxia's kiln is built, I'll see, if it's really comfortable, I'll take the second place. A kiln."

Genn smiled mysteriously, but didn't speak.

Shen Rong chopped up the fish and began to cut the shallots to prepare the shallot water and fish to remove the fishy smell. On the side, Chang Xia brought the chives to Gen and Nanfeng, and at the same time, said **** and garlic.

Nan Feng tilted his head and pondered.

"I've seen the **** garlic you mentioned."

"Nanfeng, where have you seen Jiang Suan?"

"The bush on the south side of Baihe Beach."

Chang Xia Shen Rong looked at each other at this address.

Geng's expression moved slightly when he heard this.

"Changxia, Baihe Beach is not far from the tribe. You have not been there before." Gen said aloud and explained: "The tribe goes up the White River, and there is a river beach. The area of the river beach is the White Lake in front of the animal nest About the same size, there are large bushes growing in the south. Usually, clan cubs will go to the bushes to pick and collect."

"Patriarch, is the shrub forest a ginkgo forest?" Chang Xia said in surprise.

"There are indeed a lot of ginkgo trees growing in that shrub forest." Root nodded, denying that Changxia called the shrub forest the ginkgo forest, "In addition to the ginkgo trees, the shrub forest also grows other trees. Like thorns, sour fruit, pine and astringent persimmon trees."

Shrub forest, the most important picking place for the tribe.

It is also the closest territory to the tribe.

"Patriarch, can I go to the bush to pick?" Chang Xia changed his words quickly, and didn't bother about the ginkgo forest or the bush forest. Compared with Xiangfeng Mountain, the shrub forest is closer and more convenient. In addition, Nanfeng also said that he had seen **** and garlic in the bushes, and Changxia was even more moved.

"Why can't you go?" Gen glared at Chang Xia.

Is this kid stupid?

What is this asking? !

"Thorn fruits, sour fruits and astringent persimmons only ripen in the warm and cold season. In addition to ginkgo, the bushes now only grow wild vegetables. If you want to eat wild vegetables, you can go there at any time. However, if you simply pick wild vegetables, the wild vegetables near Baihu Lake are Enough food for you and Shen Rong, no need to go to the bushes." Gen explained patiently.

In the end.

Gen did not worry that Chang Xia ran out of the tribe.

Worrying that the child will be injured or wronged in a corner that he and his clan cannot see.

"I want to go pick some **** and garlic, and see if I can find others." Chang Xia was very excited. He found all the ginger, onion and garlic, and the chili, prickly ash, dried tangerine peel and star anise were not far away.

Speaking of picking, Changxia actually wants to transplant.

There is nothing more convenient than planting it in your own vegetable garden.

"Wait, I'll go to the bushes now." Nanfeng stood up and was about to head straight for the bushes.

Chang Xia caught the man with a big hand.

"Nanfeng, when you meet Xylophone Amu, remember to call someone over for lunch. If you find ginger, onion, and garlic, remember to dig back the roots and soil together. I have reclaimed some land next to the animal den, and plan to use it for planting. Ginger and garlic."

"Okay!" Nan Feng wrote down Chang Xia's explanation, walked out of the beast's den, and the beast transformed into the bushes on Baihe Beach.

Today, Xylophone is also picking wild vegetables there.

In addition to picking **** and garlic this time, I happened to pick up Xyloqin to have lunch at Changxia's house.

Chang Xia is preparing lunch.

Gen and Shen Rong were outside the animal nest, turning over the ginkgo.

The dazzling sun shines on the ginkgo, and the green ginkgo is dyed a little silvery white. Look at it, like a layer of white frost.

"It's really fragrant!" Gen stretched his neck and looked towards the beast den.

Right now.

Bursts of tempting food aromas permeated from the beast den.

"Changxia's craftsmanship is good!" Shen Rong said. After turning over the ginkgo, Shen Rong moved the vines left from yesterday to the beast's nest, preparing to weave some baskets while the time was up. Of course, the focus is on the dustpan and rattan sieve that Chang Xia said, these things are convenient for storing excess things at home.

The barrels asked for wood, and all the wood sent by the tribe was used to repair the beast den. To make a wooden barrel, you need to cut down wood, and there is no way to make a wooden barrel for the time being.

"Shen Rong, what are you making up?" Gen asked curiously.

"There is no storage in the animal den. Chang Xia asked me to weave a few rattan baskets and dustpans. By the way, she took the name. It is a little shallower and smaller than the back basket, which is used to hold things." Shen Rong said, Where the animal nest is against the wall, there are several small rattan baskets.

The wild vegetables that were cleaned just now were placed in a rattan basket for draining water.

Geng looked at it, and his eyes were full of surprise.

"Changxia is so smart!" Gen exclaimed.

He's not stupid, these inconspicuous little things. It looks simple and easy to learn, and it is very convenient to use it for containment.

Orcs lived a rough life.

In the animal den, the objects are piled up in a mess.

In the root family, Xylophone loves cleanliness and tidying up. The animal den of his family could not be considered tidy in the tribe. However, compared with the Changxia beast den, it is indeed a mess.

Gen can imagine, waiting for the xylophone to come. It will be a pleasure to see these things. She always felt that the animal den was too messy, and it was not clean no matter how it was cleaned up.

to this end.

Gen and Nanfeng were scolded a lot.

Especially every time I go out hunting and come home, I get scolded the most.

With that said, Gen squatted down and sat beside Shen Rong. Following Shen Rong's movements, he knitted his fingers flexibly.

It's just that the scent from the beast's nest is too strong.

Both Gen and Shen Rong seemed a little careless.

There are only two clay pots in the family. Chang Xia didn't make fish **** and wild vegetable soup first, but fry fried meat and wild vegetables first. In another clay pot, the meat is simmered in cold water over a slow fire, while simmering, while skimming off the blood. The **** and garlic picked in the south wind can only be used next time. Of course, she prefers to grow **** and garlic in the vegetable garden.

After frying the fried meat and wild vegetables, she began to squeeze fish balls.

This time, Duo Chang Xia squeezed the fish **** twice as big, no longer the size of a lychee, but the size of a baby's fist, the same size as when she took them to the Normandy Grand Bazaar.

The river prawns and crabs are placed in the rattan basket next to them, waiting for the pot to be freed before starting.

Thinking of Jiang Suan on Nanfeng's side, Chang Xia's hands did not slow down at all. If you are not afraid that the pot is not resistant to burning, it will crack. Chang Xia wanted to make a few more stir-fries.

Feeling a little regret in the bottom of her heart, she pondered.

Waiting for the free hand, UU reading www. asked Shen Rong to polish a stone pot.

Or, get a slate or something.

Taking a pottery pot to cook vegetables makes Chang Xia feel distressed. I just made fried meat and stir-fried wild vegetables, and I didn't put too much oil in Changxia, I was afraid that the pottery pot would be burnt.

Being poor, I can't afford to hurt.

Two quarters of an hour later, Nan Feng came back from the bush with the xylophone.

"Amu, hurry down." Nan Feng just stood still, and urged Xylophone to get off her beast. Hearing the smell of the food coming from the animal nest, Nan Feng only felt hungry and felt that he could eat a whole horned cow.

With a dark face, Xylophone slid down from the Nanfeng beast.

Before she could speak of the south wind, a seductive fragrance came from a distance.

"Amu, what are you doing? Hurry up, hurry up."

Nan Feng put on the basket and shouted the xylophone to follow. Smelling it, she knew that Chang Xia had prepared her lunch. Immediately, I felt that my tongue was full of saliva, and I was very hungry.

Xylophone glared at Nanfeng and rebuked: "What are you urging?"

Unconsciously, his footsteps sped up a little, and he headed straight for the beast den.

At this time, Shen Rong and Geng put down the vines in their hands and entered the beast den. His eyes stared blankly at the boiling food in the clay pot, desperately swallowing saliva.

This scene happened to fall into the eyes of Xylophone who came over.

"Gen, what are you doing?"

Hearing the sound, Gen turned around and looked over.

"Xuqin, you're here." Gen San smiled and said, "I just smelled it and didn't do anything. By the way, Nanfeng gave you Eminem water to wash your face. Chang Xia has cooked the dishes and can be eaten at any time. already."

Nan Feng neatly threw the back basket into the corner of the animal den, fetched water, and washed his face.

The movements are like water all the way, neat and free and easy.

"Xylophone Amu—" Chang Xia greeted Xylophone happily, and carefully put away the basket that Nanfeng left in the corner.

Chapter 13

"Chang Xia, it's hard work." Xylophone smiled and stepped into the animal den. Looking up and looking around, her eyes touched the rattan baskets of different sizes in the corner. Immediately, her eyes sparkled.

See you.

There's nothing left that I don't understand.

"These are woven by Shen Rong." Gen took a rattan basket and handed it over to Xylophone, his words were full of praise for Chang Xia.

Xylophone took the rattan basket and looked at it repeatedly.

"This rattan basket is good, easy to pick and collect." Xylophone said.

It is inconvenient for tribal beast cubs to use a carrying basket. They never thought of making the carrying basket smaller. Today, she looked at the large and small sacks and baskets in the Changxia beast den, and there was nothing she could not understand.

At the same time, Xylophone deeply recognizes Gen Praise Chang Xia.

Except for his weak body, Chang Xia is very good.

Unfortunately, Nanfeng is female.

Xylophone really wanted to let Nanfeng live with Changxia and take care of Changxia for the rest of her life.

"Chang Xia, Eminem knows that you can live a good life." Xylophone patted Chang Xia on the shoulder, put down the rattan basket, and circled around the animal nest, full of satisfaction. Especially when his eyes fell on the food on the stove, his expression was full of happiness.

The children they raised were finally able to live alone.

In addition to gratification, it is more complicated to give up.

"Xylophone Amu, sit down quickly. Come and taste the food I cook, these are prepared for you." Chang Xia was very happy and invited Gen and Xylophone to take a seat. There were no tables and chairs in the animal den, so she pulled out the rattan curtain and used it as a cushion. The baskets and rattan baskets were turned over and they became a table.

Fish **** and wild vegetables soup, fried meat and fried wild vegetables, stewed meat, plus boiled river prawns and steamed river crabs. This meal is very rich.

Gen and them looked at it, their eyes widened.

The daily staple food of the tribe is roasted meat and stew.

Barbecue, as the name suggests, is to roast and eat raw meat. Stir-frying is to add meat cut into pieces and add the roots of various plants, or wild vegetables, etc. The main dish of the stew is meat, but the orcs don't know how to remove the smell, so one can imagine how terrifying the taste of the stew will be.

The fish ball and wild vegetable soup is delicious and juicy, and the fried meat and fried wild vegetables are crispy and fragrant. Coupled with the soft, glutinous and easy-to-eat stewed meat, the Q-strength of the river shrimp, and the deliciousness of the river crab.

Start eating.

The family of three eats without even lifting their heads.

"Ah! I'm so full."

"Chang Xia, tell Xylophone Amu what else is missing at home."

In a quarter of an hour, the cups and plates were in disarray.

Everyone slumped on the rattan curtain with their stomachs slumped.

With an aftertaste expression on his face, he felt that he had lived in vain for the past few decades.

"Changxia wants to build a kiln and needs to exchange resin with the tribe. Wood and stone materials are temporarily used from the south wind, and other things need to be exchanged." Gen explained, in fact, even if you don't say it, the tribe knows that Changxia wants to build a kiln, more or less. provide support.

Xylophone nodded and said, "Chang Xia, tell Nanfeng what you want to do directly, and let her help you. In a few days, the witch will come over. I will wait for the next tribe to exchange some pottery for you. The animal den lacks pottery. No way."

Before Chang Xia could speak, Gen and Xylophone made a direct decision.

In their eyes, Shen Rong was not much better than Chang Xia, the sick seedling.

Seeing this, Shen Rong, apart from being helpless, remained silent and chose to eat soft rice.

Chang Xia responded with a smile, full of happiness.

"Xylophone Amu, I won't be polite to Nanfeng." Chang Xia nodded, with the help of the tribe, maybe the kiln could be repaired before the rainy season. Just thinking about it made Chang Xia very happy.

So, she took the branch and sketched it on the floor.

"...To build a kiln, the first step is to dig the foundation; the second step is to build the cave; the last step is to build the gables and install the doors and windows."

Chang Xia carefully inspected the soil layer here.

Thick and sturdy.

It is very suitable for building a kiln.

For the orcs, mining is very simple.

The difficulty is the doors and windows. The doors can be made of wood, but the windows are troublesome. Chang Xia could not find a replacement glass for the time being, so he could only make wooden windows with field characters. Then hang the animal skin to cover it, just like the animal skin on the top of the animal nest.

Here comes.

The light in the kiln will be much worse.

However, Nan Feng told Chang Xia that the bird tribe has a kind of stone that glows.

Chang Xia was going to find a witch, and exchanged this luminous stone with the bird tribe, using this luminous stone instead of torches/lights for lighting.

There is no direct trade between orcs, birds and fishes.

It can only be traded through witches of various races or participating in the Normandy Grand Bazaar. At the same time, the same is true within the Orcs.

In Chang Xia's memory, there was not much contact between the various tribes of the orc tribe.

Every time I make contact, I am in the holy mountain of Karna, asking for Wu's opinion. Wu nodded, and each tribe would contact and communicate. Of course, there will be surprises. For example, in the event of natural and man-made disasters, all tribes will also be in contact.

This seems to be closed and primitive, but in fact it greatly protects the development and reproduction of various tribes.

"Listen, it's similar to a cave." Nan Feng muttered.

Chang Xia shook his head and retorted: "A cave, how can it be compared with a cave. The cave I plan to build is called the Kuoshan Cave. The cave is dug on the west side of the hillside, and then the entire hillside is included."

Chang Xia is very ambitious.

Originally, I didn't plan to build a big kiln.

When Nan Feng said that the cave was like a cave, she immediately became unhappy.

The hillside of Linhu is very large, so Chang Xia decided to play with a big one. This hillside is directly built into a cave dwelling in the city. The specifications are the same as those of a courtyard house. The hillside and the cave are combined to form a back-shaped cave, which is like a sunken cave.

Thinking of this, Changxia compares the terrain of the hillside.

Found this idea seems like a good idea.

He opened the main gate on the side facing the lake, and dug out two caves on the left and right to make it look like a building. It is very suitable for living or storing things.

Chang Xia likes to hoard, and the animal den is dozens of square meters, and it can't hold much things at all.

The kilns are large enough that they can be stored in different categories in the long summer. The more he thought about it, the more excited the expression on Chang Xia's face became.

aside.

The four of them listened to Chang Xia's description.

Everyone was stunned.

Even the place where Wu lived was not as good as the cave dwelling described by Chang Xia.

Can they really build such a cave?

At this moment, even the well-informed Shen Rong quietly quieted down.

"Chang Xia, such a cave... Can we really build it?" Gen looked at Chang Xia cautiously, with excitement that could not be ignored.

The Heluo tribe has lived on this land for thousands of years. The beast nest is not comparable to the bird's nest, but it provides shelter for the beast.

Unlike some orcs who live in caves, the Heluo tribe is more willing to make beast dens as their home.

Even if it rains in the rainy season, UU reading www. uukanshu. com will be frozen in the cold season.

The animal den is still the first choice of the orcs.

"Patriarch, how do you know the result if you don't try?" Chang Xia asked back.

In the last years, the social order collapsed.

Human beings have regressed one after another from mechanical civilization, creating things with their bare hands, not just talking about it. Before, due to his weak body, Chang Xia could only be forced to get used to everything of the Heluo tribe. Now, with a choice, Chang Xia naturally doesn't want to wrong himself.

Utilize everything around you, this is what creatures with intelligent life should do. Otherwise, what's the difference with the beast? !

"I can't help you, but I can give you Nanfeng. If there are any tribal people who are willing to help, I will not stop them." Gen said seriously.

He represents the Heluo tribe and cannot express his position at will.

However, the south wind is different.

She doted on Chang Xia herself, and stayed to help Chang Xia do some outrageous things. Even if the clansmen have ideas, they will not go too far.

Chang Xia grinned and smiled lightly.

"Thank you, Patriarch!"

Looking at the sun outside, Gen and Xylophone got up and prepared to leave.

Whether it is rattan shoes, fish **** and fried meat, etc. They all need to handle it, of course, the more important thing is to exchange things for Chang Xia.

"Father, they really dote on you!" Nan Feng shouted.

Chang Xia stuck her tongue out at her and said happily, "Nanfeng, I picked a lot of ginkgo this time, and I don't have any powdered fruit in a clay pot. In the afternoon, you have to help make a wooden barrel."

"Changxia, don't you dig a kiln in the afternoon?" Shen Rong asked.

"I want to build the entire hillside into a large courtyard kiln, and it has to be re-planned. You and Nanfeng will first make the wooden barrels and treat the salt crystals." Chang Xia thought about it, and didn't rush to dig the kiln. To be the best. Or, don't do it.

Chapter 14

There are two flowers, one for each.

Gen and Xylophone went back to the tribe and promoted various things that Chang Xia brought out. At the same time, they also helped to exchange resin and pottery and other items needed for the long summer with the tribe.

Under the leadership of Nanfeng, Shen Rong was cutting wood.

Chang Xia was left alone at the beast den. She first picked up the ginkgo, and then took the basket woven by Shen Rong to dry in the sun. Shen Rong was careful in his work. The edges and corners of the rattan basket on the back of the basket were polished very smoothly by him, so he didn't worry about the problem of sticking hands.

Done all this.

She didn't choose to plant **** and garlic, she planned to wait until sunset.

At that time, the temperature was just right. However, Chang Xia did not plan to plant all the **** and garlic picked by Nanfeng, and estimated that it would be one-fifth.

After all, I don't know if I can live or not?

Chang Xia took out a half-old animal skin from the animal nest.

Then, he picked out a piece of charcoal from the stove and sat at the entrance of the animal den to start painting. The warm spring sunshine poured down and shone on Chang Xia's porcelain-white face, dipping into a layer of warm brilliance, lining the shallow smile at the corner of her mouth, which was extremely warm.

Slightly white and slender holding the black charcoal, moving and sketching on the half-old animal skin.

very quickly.

A simple sketch appeared on the hide.

The minimalist lines perfectly outline a cave landscape. The cave dwellings built with loess contrast with the sparkling White Lake.

In front of the door, there are two rooms on the left and right.

It can be used as a warehouse or cellar in the future.

Five holes are dug in the kiln on the front, and three kilns are dug on the side, and the left and right are symmetrical. The front is organized as an open space, without walls, connected to the vegetable field, without fences, or with stone walls. The function of the walls is to guard against wild beasts.

For the gate tower, the two kilns in front of the gate are used as the gate tower.

Considering that orcs are generally more than two meters tall, the best cave dwelling is five meters high, at least one to two feet wide, and three to five feet deep. However, Shen... Chang Xia has not settled down for the time being. She wants to build a warehouse/cellar to stock up on supplies as much as possible.

In this case, it is necessary to expand further.

The reason why the kiln was dug five holes was that three kilns were dug on the side.

The main purpose is to wait for Wu to bring people over to live with him when he grows old. Coupled with the problem of Bai Qing and the animal cubs in the future, it is naturally necessary to dig a few more holes in the kiln.

Chang Xia has always liked to make a move before making a move, and plan ahead.

The walls of the kiln are built with doors and windows, and there are three kiln caves in one door. The roof of the kiln needs to be left with a skylight, which can ensure the light in the cave to a greater extent. At the same time, the position against the gable, but also the pan kang. The kang is connected to the gable, so there is no need to worry about the cold winter.

As you draw, you revise at the same time.

It took nearly an hour, and a backing kiln in the shape of a courtyard house was lifelike on the half-old animal skin.

"Chang Xia, this is a cave?" Nan Feng blinked, staring at the half-worn animal skin on Chang Xia's hand in amazement, not even breathing heavily. She and Shen Rong came back with the wood, and saw Chang Xia sitting at the door of the animal den, and came over out of curiosity.

Just as he was about to call someone, his eyes touched the half-old animal skin on Chang Xia's hand.

The two were stunned for a moment and didn't dare to call anyone.

"Yes, this is a cave." Chang Xia nodded and said, "It looks good! It will be even better when it is built."

"I believe you." Nan Feng said seriously.

this moment.

She can't wait to start digging the kiln immediately.

Shen Rong handled the wood very quietly. In the bottom of my heart, I was just as excited as the south wind.

Looking at Chang Xia, his eyes were full of inquiry. He had a feeling that the Orcs would follow the changes of the Heluo tribe and set off a different style in the Eastern Land.

He went back to the East Land, maybe it was the guidance of the beast god.

Looking at each other with Nanfeng, the two flashed a trace of excitement and complexity.

In the afternoon, Shen Rong Nanfeng made seven or eight wooden barrels. The new wooden barrels were soaked in water by Chang Xia and then dried, so as to ensure that the wooden barrels would not leak. After all, the urgent wood is wet, not as dry as the wood.

A busy day is drawing to a close.

Before the sun sets on the west mountain, Chang Xia put the half-old animal skins into the animal nest.

Use a basket to pick up the ginkgo on the ground and dry it for two more days. After the water of the ginkgo is completely dried, the ginkgo can be ground into powder. At that time, wooden barrels were almost ready for use.

"Chang Xia, I'll bring the wood and stone over tomorrow. Where do you plan to stack them?" Nan Feng poured water into the last small wooden basin and went to Chang Xia, who was collecting the ginkgo. There is still some time before the rainy season, so don't worry about the rain on wood and stone.

Chang Xia thought for a while, then pointed to the White Lake under the hillside.

"From the south wind, wood and stones are temporarily piled up by the Baihu Lake. When the foundation of the cave is dug, they will be moved up."

Nan Feng nodded and agreed. Then, just leave.

Even Chang Xia asked her to finish her meal, but she was rejected.

In Nanfeng's words, her family is thin, so it's okay to eat one or two meals, but a few more meals, Nanfeng is afraid of starvation in the long summer.

Although she is craving for the dishes cooked in Changxia, Nanfeng still maintains her sanity.

"Chang Xia, is the ginkgo piled outside the beast's nest?" Shen Rong asked. The new wooden barrels are set aside and ready to use after two days of drying.

Chang Xia said helplessly: "The animal den is too small to be piled up. Put it outside, you can find some vine leaves or something to cover it, and I will plant **** and garlic, hoping to grow."

The baskets of ginkgo were neatly placed by Shen Rong against the animal den, and then covered with vines. At this time, the dew is not heavy, so there is no need to worry that the ginkgo will be wet by the dew.

After collecting the ginkgo, Shen Rong went into the house to make a fire and boil water.

"Chang Xia, what do you want to eat at night?" Shen Rong asked, taking a basket of salt crystals, ready to rub them with his hands and crush them into fine salt for later use.

Chang Xia wiped her sweat and squatted by the stone jar to wash her hands.

There are not many **** and garlic plants, and she will soon finish planting them.

Hearing Shen Rong asking what to eat in the evening, she tilted her head and thought for a while, and replied, "How about roasted meat? Roast a few more bird eggs and pair them with the stewed meat and bird egg soup."

There are many reeds growing along the Baihu Lake, and among the reeds there are wild ducks and birds. When Shen Rong went to collect the fish baskets in the evening, he picked up a lot of eggs. UU reading . com ate two fish balls, but Chang Xia didn't want to eat them for the time being.

When Genxylophone left, Shen Rong gave him a fish basket. By the way, the weaving method of the fish basket was also told to the root. If there is a fish basket, you can catch fish and shrimp even if you don't go into the water.

In this way, the cubs of the tribe and the elderly who have lost the ability to hunt can participate in the hunting activities in their daily life.

Seeing these Chang Xia, they didn't talk much.

Shen Rong is more capable and smarter than she imagined.

Sometimes, Chang Xia even suspected that he was not an orc. However, in addition to being smart, Shen Rong was very quiet most of the time.

That kind of quietness is more like tiredness and tranquility after going through the vicissitudes of life.

Looking at it, it's heartbreaking.

Chang Xia is always quiet at this time.

Everyone has secrets, like her, like Shen Rong.

"Yes." The corners of Shen Rong's mouth rose slightly, crossing a shallow smile. Every day, the happiest moment is when discussing food.

Before, Shen Rong didn't think about the food.

Ever since I met Chang Xia, every meal has never been the same.

"You go to cut the meat, and I'll get the bird's egg." Chang Xia instructed Shen Rong to do it. She took the bird's egg and smeared it with mud, and then buried the finished bird's egg in the stove.

Roasting bird eggs, this is a new skill she learned in the last days.

Eating raw eggs is worried about infecting parasites.

In the last days, more food needs to be cooked. However, eating cooked food is often accompanied by various dangers. After all, cooked or grilled food will give off a strong flavor. As a result, people in the last days tossed out various techniques for handling cooked food.

Baked eggs, just one of them.

Although this technique is probably just a childhood memory of children before the end of the world.

In the last days, it really saved a lot of people.

Chapter 15

"Chang Xia, can you still eat bird eggs like this?" Shen Rong said in surprise.

Seeing Shen Rong's handsome face, a shocked expression appeared. Chang Xia laughed out loud, and waved his hands covered in wet mud, "It's delicious, you wait... Taste it and you'll know. I used to be unaccustomed to tribal barbecues and stews, and roasted bird eggs are mine. The only comfort and everyday pleasure."

This body is too weak.

Lying in the animal den all the year round, sick in bed.

Occasionally, when he wakes up, he will be carried by Nanfeng out of the animal den to bask in the sun.

At that time, let alone eating barbecue stew, she could only drink some fruit paste. Before becoming an adult, what Chang Xia ate the most was soup and fruit powder. Even though she has thousands of ideas and is limited by her unsatisfactory body, she can only be raised by the tribe like a waste.

Baked bird eggs are the only rebel in Chang Xia.

The bird eggs were secretly hidden by her. When the patriarch and the others were not paying attention, they buried the eggs in the stove.

"Does the patriarch know?" Shen Rong asked.

Based on the importance they place on Chang Xia, most of these unknown things will not be allowed to Chang Xia. Otherwise, why did Chang Xia have the opportunity to leave the tribe when he was an adult? Beast cubs are the heart of the orcs, and any cub is the lifeblood of the orcs.

Not to mention, someone as frail as Chang Xia.

Even more, they will be stared at by all the orcs, fearing that they will die prematurely.

"What do you think?" Chang Xia rolled her eyes and rolled her eyes at Shen Rong playfully. If she knew that she was eating indiscriminately, would that be okay?

In a way, Gen is more nagging than Xylophone Nanfeng.

Outside the animal den, the horizon is covered with sunset, and the red sunset is dazzling and colorful, making the entire Heluo tribe red.

"Changxia, are you anxious to build a kiln because you are worried that the rainy season is coming?" Shen Rong said solemnly.

He has been away from the Dusk Forest for many years, but... the impression the rainy season brings to him is no less than the terrible cold season.

During the rainy season, the area of river water in the forest skyrockets.

Floods, mudslides, landslides, etc., all kinds of natural disasters follow the rainy season.

At the same time, along with natural disasters, there are all kinds of ferocious beasts.

"The rainy season, is it scary?" Chang Xia hesitated.

Before becoming an adult, she was confined in a corner of the Heluo tribe.

The rainy season is mostly heard from the mouths of the clansmen, and Chang Xia has not experienced it personally.

"It's scary." Shen Rong said with a serious expression: "The earth recovers in the warm season, and all things are alive. When the rainy season comes, the forest will be submerged, and the orcs will reduce the time they spend hunting."

In fact, it is not easy for orcs to reproduce.

In addition to the orcs themselves, there are more environmental factors.

The harsh living environment constantly squeezes the living space of the orcs. Cubs don't have much survivability, and once lost in the wild, they rarely have a chance to survive.

Chang Xia's ability to live to adulthood benefits from her hard life and the careful nurture of the Wu and Heluo tribes.

"These... the witch and the patriarch never said anything." Chang Xia murmured.

No wonder Gen was so excited when she came up with how to make fish balls, and didn't ask much about Jianyao at all. Although the rainy season is rich in food, it is limited by various natural disasters and beasts, and its danger level is no worse than the cold winter.

"Most of them don't want you to worry." Shen Rong comforted.

In private, in addition to the patriarch Gen, there are several tribesmen who have approached Shen Rong in the name of discussing and exchanging feelings. In fact, it was to explain that Shen Rong should take good care of Chang Xia.

Even the south wind is no exception.

Yesterday, the two fought at White Lake in the early morning.

The bruise on Shen Rong's belly was left by Nanfeng.

However, neither Shen Rong nor the tribe mentioned these matters.

"We have to repair the kiln as soon as possible." Chang Xia said seriously.

Looking at Chang Xia's worried expression, Shen Rong regretted not mentioning the rainy season.

"Don't worry, you've lived in the tribe for many years, and you haven't heard anyone say that something happened in the rainy season. How could something happen suddenly? I'll just talk about it casually..." Shen Rong comforted.

The Heluo Tribe, a famous and powerful tribe in the Twilight Forest.

It will never be defeated by the rainy season.

"I understand." Chang Xia waved his hand, no longer wondering whether the rainy season is dangerous or not.

Build kilns, identify plants, and collect supplies.

These are the most important things.

The rest, as Shen Rong said. The Heluo tribe has spent thousands of years in the Twilight Forest, and naturally has a set of methods to deal with the rainy season.

"Come, have a taste—"

Shen Rong smiled and handed the barbecue to Chang Xia.

He could see that Chang Xia likes to eat, especially delicious food.

This time, Shen Rong used the ginger, onion and garlic that Chang Xia mentioned in the barbecue. The barbecue was better than before. He believed that Chang Xia would definitely like it.

"This tastes amazing!" Chang Xia restrained his thoughts and took a bite of the barbecue.

Without saying a word, he gave Shen Rong a thumbs up and praised him again and again.

Shen Rong is too smart, he knows how to draw inferences about everything. Fortunately, she didn't have much ambition, otherwise she would be suffocated to death.

"If you like it, eat more if you like it. You've been busy all day today, so you're tired! I've boiled hot water. After eating, you can take a bath and then go to bed." Shen Rong gave Chang Xia another bowl. Soup, next to a washed stone pot with hot water. He remembered what they had said, Chang Xia was not in good health.

Even in the warm season, you have to wipe yourself with hot water.

Orcs don't take a bath for ten days and a half, that's normal operation.

However, the Heluo tribe has a strange flower called Changxia. Even in the cold season, I would take a shower every other day. Not to mention, the warm warm season.

Shen Rong is not particular about it. The animal den is near Baihu, so he can go to Baihu to take a bath at any time. Chang Xia couldn't do it. There was a large wooden barrel in the innermost corner of the beast's nest.

It can be said that the bathtub is one of the few large pieces of furniture in Changxia.

"Who told you about this?" Chang Xia was slightly embarrassed, and a faint red tide appeared on her face.

It's not that she's squeamish.

The love of bathing is one of the few hobbies that she has retained in the last days.

It has become a habit for so many years.

Before becoming an adult, he was looked after by the patriarch and Nanfeng everywhere.

Taking a bath has become the only thing Chang Xia can enjoy.

"I saw that... the bucket." Shen Rong pursed his lips and pointed to the bathtub in the corner. They didn't expose their existence, after all, there is no need to say such things. UU reading .com

Chang Xia blushed and explained, "Having frequent baths is good for your physical and mental health. The same is true for you, you need to rinse your mouth and wash your face frequently..."

"After dinner, I will go to Baihu." Shen Rong replied.

Just like Chang Xia, Shen Rong is a bit of a clean freak.

It's just that it's not very obvious.

For the time being, it has not been discovered by Chang Xia.

"This good habit will be maintained in the future." Chang Xia smiled and said, "We will build a bathhouse and toilet in our kiln."

Speaking of the toilet, Chang Xia showed an indescribable expression.

She fought with the tribe for half a year to get the tribe to get used to going to the toilet. Instead, dig holes everywhere.

In this regard, she was often teased by witches and clansmen.

"Listen to you." Shen Rong subconsciously repeated these three words.

The longer you know Chang Xia, the more you can discover her different side from other orcs. If you change someone, you may be curious and ask questions.

However, Shen Rong would not.

This happened to be Chang Xia's favorite place.

After the meal, the two didn't bother about anything else. Chang Xia took a bath in the animal den, and Shen Rong turned around and went to Baihu. When he came back, Chang Xia laid the rattan curtain and animal skins ready to sleep.

These two days have been the busiest in Chang Xia's history.

Although the body has gradually adapted, the spirit is still somewhat unable to keep up.

After taking a hot bath, I fell asleep.

When Chen Rong stepped into the beast's nest, Chang Xia muttered hello to him, and then fell into a deep sleep.

"Good night!" Shen Rong said good night, imitating Chang Xia.

Then he lay on the rattan curtain beside him, breathing lightly, making Shen Rong, who had been insomniac for a long time, feel more at ease. Someone once said to Shen Rong: Home is where the heart is at ease.

He finally has a home of his own.

so good!

Chapter 16

The next day, early in the morning.

Before Chang Xia opened her eyes, there was a noise in her ears.

The sound of conversation, and the chirping of birds. At the same time, it got into Chang Xia's ears, forcing her to open her eyes and sit up.

"Has Chang Xia woke up?"

A face stuck out from the door of the animal den and waved to Chang Xia.

"Yadong, why are you here?" Chang Xia rubbed her eyes, crossed her legs, and yawned.

"He's on duty today, and I asked him to help carry wood and stones." Nan Feng explained.

Gen and Xylophone Hui tribe, told the tribe how to make fish **** and fried meat. Last night, various scents were wafting over the tribe.

Nanfeng didn't sleep well all night, so he caught Yadong who was shaking in the morning.

"Get up quickly, Shen Rong's breakfast is ready."

"Chang Xia, get up quickly."

Early in the morning.

There are many people from the tribe.

In addition to resin, wood and stone were also sent.

Of course, there are many kinds of meat and wild vegetables. Roughly estimated, enough for the two of Changxia to eat for a month, and there may be a balance.

"In such a hurry?" Chang Xia muttered, got up, and walked out of the animal den to wash up. However, when he saw the piles of things near the beast den, he immediately widened his beautiful eyes and said in surprise, "Oh! What happened?"

Shen Rong smiled and replied: "The clansmen sent it in the morning, saying it was to thank you for the fish **** and fried meat."

He guessed early in the morning that the clan might come over today.

Early in the morning, I went to Baihu to collect the fish basket. He started to build a kiln today. He thought that someone from the tribe might come over, so he built a stove outside the animal den to prepare breakfast. Sure enough, Tiangangliang people sent a lot of things one after another.

"This is too much!" Chang Xia sighed.

Not to mention resin for the time being, meat, roots and roots of various wild vegetables are directly piled up into a hill.

Shen Rong stirred the stewed meat with a wooden spoon, pointed to the white lake under the hillside, and said, "In addition to the wood and stone materials brought by the south wind, the clan also brought a lot of them."

"I'm afraid you won't be enough. The tribesmen who have no plans to marry recently have all sent some of them." Nanfeng helped explain. In fact, she refused to come forward and was scolded by the clan.

Yadong and another male clansman, Shan Kun, squatted beside the stove, staring intently at the pottery pot in front of Shen Rong. They swallowed saliva from time to time, if it wasn't for Shen Rong to stop them, they would have wanted to stick their faces in the pot.

Compared with the stew made by the tribe last night, Shen Rong's cooking is undoubtedly more fragrant.

Smelling it, it's mouth-watering.

Before, I learned that Chang Xia had found a sick partner. Yadong Shankun and the others secretly tried to find an opportunity to train Shen Rong. They raised Changxia as their own younger sister. Due to her race and health, they even considered raising her for the rest of her life.

Unexpectedly, in a Normandy market, Jiao sister found a partner by herself.

If Shen Rong is powerful, they have nothing to say. However, Shen Rong looked like he didn't live long...

that moment.

They fully realized the feeling that Gen usually hated them.

"So much, building the courtyard wall is enough." Chang Xia did not refuse, and generously accepted the love of the clan, glanced at the two Yadong who were squatting in front of the stove, and said speechlessly: "Shen Rong, don't tease them. Now, the saliva is about to flow into the pot, and it's dirty."

Didn't she realize that Shen Rong had a dark side before? !

Or, what happened to them in private?

Thinking about it, Chang Xia's eyes swept over a few people subtly.

Nan Feng shrugged and pretended not to see anything.

"Changxia, can we eat?" Shan Kun said excitedly.

Yadong Ma Liu prepared the tableware and placed it on the wooden table beside him. This long wooden table was made by Shen Rong this morning. The style was custom-made according to what Chang Xia said, and the wooden chairs were made by Yadong and the others.

As soon as it was done, it was well received by everyone.

"Hey! Who made the tables and chairs?" Chang Xia washed his face and looked at the long table neatly arranged in the open space, with six wooden chairs beside it.

The wood-colored tables and chairs are very beautiful against the warm glow of the morning.

"Shen Rong, he did it as you described." Nan Feng approached and helped Shen Rong bring the barbecue to the table, tsk tsk admiration, and exclaimed: "Don't say, this table and chairs are really beautiful. The key is also very practical, every time I feel awkward squatting or kneeling every time I eat. Now I have tables and chairs, which are much more comfortable."

When Shen Rong was making tables and chairs, he didn't avoid people.

I believe that soon, the tribe will become popular.

At the same time, the clansmen will send more things.

"I'm going home, and I want to get one too." Yadong agreed.

Shan Kun was the most direct, looked at Chang Xia and asked, "Chang Xia, what else do you need? Tell me directly, and I will bring it to you. Tables and chairs... My family also wants to make a set, Nuan Chun is pregnant with a cub and sits on his knees. uncomfortable."

Nuan Chun is Shan Kun's partner, and they got married the year before.

"Okay, what's missing. I won't be polite to you. If you are making tables and chairs for Nuanchun, don't use wood, try to use rattan. Rattan chairs are more comfortable than wooden chairs to sit on, and they are cushioned with soft animal skins to match. It could be more comfortable."

Chang Xia took the wooden chair and looked up and down, just like the basket backed by Shen Rong. The edges and corners are polished very smooth, and it feels excellent to the touch.

This table and chair is made of dried wood, and it sells better than wooden barrels and tubs.

Looking at it, it is very comfortable.

No wonder Nanfeng and the others were excited.

With Chang Xia's promise, everyone was happier.

The food is brought to the table, and everyone is seated.

Chang Xia took the broth that Shen Rong handed over, blew lightly a few times, and said, "Nanfeng, I want some red sandalwood, does the tribe have it?"

"Red sandalwood, you mean black wood?" Nan Feng tilted his head, thought for a moment, and replied, "Black wood, I remember Yadong stocked up a few. What do you want black wood for?"

Orcs build animal dens and prefer solid materials.

Compared with black wood, they prefer iron wood. The wood stocked by Nanfeng is all iron wood. Iron wood that is more than 100 years old is suitable for making knives.

The knives Chang Xia used were the bone knives given by Wu.

It is a wooden knife polished with iron wood. It is said to be a wooden knife. In terms of sharpness, it is not inferior to an ordinary bone knife.

"I want Shen Rong to use red sandalwood to build a set of tables and chairs for Wu, the place on the other side of the holy mountain of Karna is empty, like tables and chairs, beds, wooden cabinets, etc., it is best to be fully equipped. ." Chang Xia rubbed his chin and tilted his head, thinking about what furniture to prepare for the witch.

Before her body didn't cooperate, she didn't have the heart to struggle.

Now, with a rare opportunity, Chang Xia is trying to make up for the emptiness of the previous years.

Hearing that Chang Xia was going to build a table and chairs for Wu, Yadong replied without saying a word, "I'll bring the black wood over later. Shen Rong, you estimate how much wood you need, it's not enough, I'll find a way."

The ones prepared for Wu must be the best.

"Changxia, can't Tiemu?" Nanfeng asked.

She couldn't understand the thoughts in Chang Xia's mind, just like Shen Rong. Having been with Chang Xia for a long time, whether it is Nanfeng or his clansmen, he will subconsciously ignore the inappropriate and incomprehensible words of Chang Xia.

"Nanfeng, furniture made of red sandalwood is more beautiful than iron wood. When my cave is repaired, I will ask Shen Rong to make a whole set of red sandalwood furniture." Chang Xia hummed.

Ever since she knew that Yadong had hoarded a few pieces of red sandalwood, she had been thinking about it.

The clan likes iron wood, but Chang Xia does not, she prefers red sandalwood. In addition to red sandalwood, rosewood, rosewood and wenge, they are all scarce goods that can be found. Rarely, the Twilight Forest is full of trees, so why would you want to miss Changxia?

Picking, of course, you have to pick your heart.

Of course, for doors and windows, iron wood is the most suitable.

Ironwood, the orcs also call it the iron tree. In the area where the iron trees grow in the Twilight Forest, even beasts will not inhabit. Orcs use iron wood to build animal dens, not only considering the sturdiness of iron wood, but also because iron wood will naturally emit an odor that beasts hate.

The leaves of the iron tree are usually made into sachets by orcs to carry around.

It can also be used for repelling beasts and repelling insects, ants, poisonous snakes, etc.

Chapter 17

"The texture of black wood is really beautiful!" Shen Rong agreed, thinking about finding time to cut down trees to dry in the shade, and then make them into furniture.

Chang Xia Dynasty Shen Rong gave a thumbs up and said happily, "Have vision."

"You are used to her, when you have a headache." Nan Feng rolled his eyes and complained about Chang Xia in a bad mood. Where is the iron wood not good-looking?

Beside, Yadong Shankun laughed.

Nanfeng is the least qualified to say this. The tribe loves Chang Xia the most on Nan Feng, and even Wu has asked Nan Feng to tell her not to spoil Chang Xia.

Now, the one who spoiled Chang Xia had to add another Shen Rong.

Thanks to Chang Xia being sensible, if you change to someone who is pretty, you have to jump around all day.

With Nan Feng's words, Shen Rong smiled and didn't bother.

"Changxia, do you want to dry the ginkgo?" Shen Rong asked.

Chang Xia said: "Sun. I want to eat noodles and rice noodles early. I want to take the time to dry and grind the ginkgo into powder, so I can do it!"

"Changxia, are the noodles and rice noodles delicious?" Shan Kun was the most active and excited.

Yadong picked up the animal skin, came over and patted his chest, and said loudly, "Suning the ginkgo, leave this to me."

Nan Feng did not speak, and looked around. There are a lot of things piled up in the animal den, and the ginkgo is not easy to dry, no wonder Shen Rong asked this question.

"Don't worry, when the ginkgo fruit is dried and milled, I will ponder and study the fruit powder into noodles or rice noodles." Chang Xia said to himself. She will definitely succeed, otherwise I'll be sorry for her many years of drinking fruit powder paste...

With fish and fried meat as the base, Yadong Shankun is not at all worried about the failure of Changxia.

No matter how bad it is, just drink the fruit powder paste.

Every year in the rainy and cold seasons, the tribe will hoard a batch of ginkgo. The fruit powder is gooey, with the orcs from infancy to adulthood, and then to old age.

After breakfast, Yadong Shankun didn't use Chang Xia to start.

He dumped the ginkgo on the ground outside the beast's nest, spread it out, and dried it. At the same time, the stones and weeds near the animal nest were regulated.

Here, Shen Rong took the animal picture drawn by Chang Xia and communicated with Nan Feng.

Chang Xia squatted down, sorting out the things sent by the clan.

The meat needs to be cleaned up to prevent it from rotting. Wild vegetable roots and wild fruits need to be stored in categories and piled together, which are easy to spoil.

this moment.

Chang Xia was very fortunate to go to the Salt Lake.

She wanted to make bacon, but the warm season just entered and the temperature was not high enough. At this time, I can't make bacon, I can only stop thinking. If you want to eat salty and fragrant bacon, you can only wait for the hotter summer to come.

"Shen Rong, come and help cut the meat into pieces, marinate with salt, and make fried meat at noon." Chang Xia shouted softly.

She has too much meat, with her thin arms and legs.

It is estimated that it will not be finished in the morning.

Looking at the sun, she decided to call Shen Rong for help.

After cutting the meat, dig the kiln by hand.

Listen to what Nanfeng means, someone from the tribe will come. In the morning, the clansmen simply came to thank Chang Xia. I heard that Changxia is going to build a new animal den. Today, no one from the tribe will go out to pick them, so they are waiting to come over after breakfast to watch.

"Chang Xia, what do you pack for meat?" Nan Feng asked.

The tribe hadn't sent the pottery yet, and the Changxia family only had a few pottery pieces. In addition to the pot used for stewing, one pot contained fried meat, and another pot held crushed salt crystals. Afraid of getting wet, the salt crystals were temporarily wrapped in leaves and placed in a basket.

Chang Xia often sighs about being poor, which is not unreasonable.

The animal nest is dozens of flat, not enough to store all kinds of sundries.

Even if the kiln is not built, Changxia still needs to build new animal dens or cellars. Tribes usually have one animal den, with two or three dens connected. There are animal cubs or old people living together, and the dens are connected together. From a distance, it looks like a yurt.

Chang Xia helped her forehead, only to remember that she didn't have enough pottery at home, and hesitantly asked, "How about... use the wooden barrels you made yesterday?"

"I tried a new wooden barrel, and it didn't leak." Shen Rong said.

Compared with the previous life, Shen Rong seemed to like the current life more. Trivial, busy, but very fulfilling.

At the same time, like Chang Xia, he enjoys a little bit of hoarding.

Upon hearing this, Chang Xia made a decisive decision.

"Bring a new wooden barrel over, and we will use the wooden barrel to marinate the meat." After Chang Xia finished speaking, he looked carefully at Nanfeng and whispered, "Nanfeng, will the tribe agree to exchange pottery for fish **** and fried meat?"

When fried meat is made, wooden barrels are obviously not suitable for storing.

Pottery, of course, is the best choice.

"Don't worry, the pottery will be delivered later." Nan Feng nodded affirmatively, and rushed to the scent of the food that wafted over the tribe last night. The tribe would definitely be willing to exchange pottery with Chang Xia.

If the tribe does not exchange, the tribe elders in charge of pottery will not agree.

The fish **** suit their appetite, and the fish baskets give the old people the ambition to relive their hunting in their youth. Nanfeng also heard last night that some old people were thinking about improving the fish basket. They wanted to hunt down those bigger fish in the White River...

"That's good." Chang Xia held the salt shaker, evenly coated the cut meat with salt crystals, and put it in a clean wooden barrel. Marinate for an hour or two, then boil in oil to make fried meat.

Looking at the pile of meat pieces in front of him, Chang Xia quickly looked at Shen Rong.

"Shen Rong, we need a stone pot."

"Stone pot, what do you want the stone pot to do?"

Before Shen Rong could speak, Nan Feng was the first to ask curiously.

"The pottery pot is not resistant to burning. So much meat is boiled in oil to make fried meat. It's better to use a stone pot." Chang Xia explained that there are two pottery pots in the family. She was heartbroken.

Shen Rong hesitated: "The stone pot needs a hard stone to polish. Is there a suitable big stone near the tribe?"

He knew the general layout of the Dusk Forest.

However, some specific situations are not clear.

After all, this is about the hunting territory of each tribe, and no orc will reveal it to other tribes at will.

"Yadong, come here..." Nanfeng thought for a moment, got up, and called Yadong, who was drying ginkgo fruits outside, and said, "Yadong, do you know where the stones near the tribe are suitable for making stone pots?"

Nanfeng knew where there were stones near the tribe.

However, she doesn't know what can be used to make a stone pot.

The Heluo tribe has two large stone pots, which are used only when the tribe encounters a major incident.

"There is a rocky beach in the upper reaches of Baihe Beach. The stones there are hard and resistant to burning. The tribal stone tools are all quarried from the rocky beach." Yadong replied, and asked, "Who wants to polish the stone pot? I remember the tribe. There are clay pots, which are lighter than bulky stone pots."

"I want to use a stone pot to make fried meat. The clay pot is easy to crack after being burned for a long time. You see, this pile of meat is all made into fried meat. No amount of clay pot is enough." Chang Xia said helplessly.

Does she know that clay pots are light and easy to use?

The problem is, the pot is easy to burn.

Really using a clay pot to cook fried meat, it's a waste of money. UU reading .com

"Will the pot be cracked by making fried meat?"

Hearing this, Nan Feng and the others changed their faces.

Last night, Gen and Xylophone passed the methods of fish **** and fried meat to the clansmen one by one. One night, everyone in the tribe was busy.

When Chang Xia saw Nanfeng and the others changed their faces, he hurriedly explained and said, "It's wrong, it's not that making fried meat will burn the pottery pot. It's just that the pottery pot can't be burned for a long time, and it will burn. If you make fried meat and stir-fried vegetables, It is best to use a fire-resistant stone or iron pot…"

The iron pot is a long way off.

Chang Xia has never seen the tribe use iron tools.

Stone pot, I can still look forward to one or two.

After all, the Twilight Forest can even grow iron trees, and the stone pot must be extraordinary. And iron tools are not something that should be considered at the moment, take your time.

"Chang Xia, how many stone pots do you want?" Yadong nodded, understanding what Chang Xia meant.

"Three." Chang Xia thought for a while, and then said, "Five. Yadong, you help me go to the rocky beach to pick up the stones for the five stone pots. I will help you make a pot of fried meat, and give you a basket of fish by the way. Maru, do you think it's okay?"

"Chang Xia, I can also help you go to the rocky beach to quarry." Shan Kun interjected.

Yadong raised his foot and kicked Shan Kun away.

"Shan Kun, your family also makes fried meat and fish **** in the warm spring."

Shen Rong opened his mouth to speak, and if he wanted to say quarrying, he could also go to the rocky beach. However, looking at Shang Nanfeng's faint eyes.

He quietly closed his mouth.

cough cough—

He wanted to explain that he really wasn't trash.

But no one wants to listen, Chang Xia is nothing, why even the tribesmen agree that he and Chang Xia are equal? !

Before, he was unwilling to heal his wounds and wanted to wait for his death in peace.

Now that Shen Rong's mind has changed, he should find an opportunity to detoxify, and he can't really become a waste of soft food.

Chapter 18

A little while.

The meat is cut into pieces, marinated with salt, and packed in wooden barrels.

The ginkgo was spread out to dry, and the baskets, back baskets and wooden barrels were neatly arranged.

Yadong left, heading towards the rocky beach. Before leaving, Nanfeng stopped him and said a few words, and asked him to go back to the tribe and call for people to go to the rocky beach to quarry.

Best, move the stone back at one time.

Here, Chang Xia led the people to work on the west side of the hill.

Before excavation, the foundation needs to be done. Drainage is no trivial matter and must be taken seriously. Preparing the foundation and clearing the weeds and trees around the cave are all without Chang Xia's hands. She draws lines with charcoal.

"Chang Xia, have you started?"

Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded, reaching his ears.

Chang Xia looked up, and saw Gen and Xylophone walking over with a group of people. She twitched the corners of her mouth and covered her eyes.

The orcs are lacking in spirit and have no fun.

Rarely, Chang Xia made a big event, which shocked the entire tribe in an instant.

"Patriarch, why are you here?" Chang Xia asked.

Gen Gen shook the pottery in his hand and replied, "I'll send you pottery, and by the way, let's see how you build a kiln?"

"Changxia, I heard you want to live in a cave?"

"The cave is damp and stuffy, so it's not as comfortable as living in a beast den."

"You heard it wrong, Changxia wants to build a kiln, she wants to live in a kiln, not a cave."

Immediately, a large wave of discussions rang out.

Chang Xia was helpless.

Usually at this point in time, most of the clan go out to hunt or gather. The group came here today, and it is estimated that they will disperse in a half hour.

"Don't make a fuss, just watch quietly." Xylophone said, stopping the arguing clan. At the same time, let the tribes put down the pottery and other objects, and more than ten pieces of pottery are exchanged by the tribe to Chang Xia in return.

Gen shrugged and didn't explain.

"Don't worry, you can come and see when the kiln is built. Right now, the foundation has not been dug..." Chang Xia explained patiently. She knew that if she wanted to change the clan's view of caves and caves, she had to wait for the caves to be built.

It's hard to explain with just a few words.

Moreover.

A kiln is not built in three or five days.

The tribe still hunts and gathers, so they don't have much time to watch the show.

as predicted.

The crowd watched for half an hour.

Gradually, it began to dissipate.

Orcs have no concept of hoarding food.

Basically, they go out hunting and gathering every day. Few people stay with the tribe unless sick or injured.

Although Chang Xia had already told the clan how to make fish balls.

According to Chang Xia's understanding of the tribe, they will still go out to hunt and collect every day according to the previous way of life. It is not like Changxia, hoarding food, let alone planting and breeding.

"Where did Yadong go?" Gen asked.

Xylophone squatted down, helping Chang Xia weed and tidy the ground. The three of Shen Rong climbed the western hillside to clear the weeds and trees.

"I exchanged fried meat and fish **** with him, and asked him to help quarry rocks on the rocky beach. I want to make a few stone pots. The clan sent too much meat, I plan to boil it all into fried meat, store it and eat it slowly. ..." Chang Xia said.

In the distance, except for some old people and beast cubs, the clansmen all returned to the tribe and were busy with each other. As Chang Xia said, after the kiln is built, they will come to watch. The beast cub was restrained by the old man and did not dare to go forward. Looking from a distance, full of curious eyes.

Geng nodded in satisfaction after listening to it.

"You did very well."

Xylophone stared at the charcoal in Chang Xia's hand and asked, "Chang Xia, what are you doing on the ground?"

"These are drainage ditches. In addition, you need to reserve flower beds for planting flowers and grasses." Chang Xia replied. The vegetable field was moved out, but this did not delay Chang Xia's desire to plant a few fruit trees in front of his house.

After speaking, he unfolded the rolled up half-old animal skin and handed it over.

Xylophone took the half-old hide and was quickly attracted by the painting on it. Seeing this, Gen followed closely and looked at it, and was immediately shocked.

"Chang Xia, what is this?"

"The cave I want to build."

Suddenly, a grunt sounded.

Gen and Xylophone looked at each other, obviously attracted by the painting on the half-old animal skin. Wu knows how to draw, but not at all. However, he can understand painting.

The paintings on half-old animal skins are so beautiful.

Even the sorcerer's hall in the sacred mountain of Karna is not as exquisite and elegant as the cave dwellings in Chang Xia's paintings. The wizard's hall where the witch lived was built by the orcs for the witch.

However, compared to the cave dwellings drawn by Chang Xia.

The Wizarding Hall looks very old and rough. The two are not at the same level of reference at all.

"Chang Xia, your cave is even more spectacular than the wizard's palace." Genyou said quietly.

The words were full of envy and jealousy.

Chang Xia blinked and said innocently, "I've never lived in the Wizard's Hall. I wonder if the Wizard's Hall is any good?"

"Don't make trouble." Xylophone raised her hand and tapped Chang Xia's head lightly. Chang Xia was not in good health, so Wu Bai kept her in the sacred mountain of Kana. However, every three or five meetings, the Heluo tribe came to visit Changxia from the holy mountain of Kana.

Therefore, all the orcs in the Twilight Forest knew that the Wudai Heluo tribe was unusual.

"I heard that you are going to build a whole set of furniture for Wu, is this true?"

"Really, can't you?"

"Okay, just... why use black wood?"

Tiemu, UU reading .com is definitely the first choice of the orcs.

Chang Xia said that black wood should be used to make furniture, how could he resist asking?

Chang Xia's head was covered with black lines, and explained: "I just think the furniture made of red sandalwood is beautiful and beautiful, while iron wood is good, but the wood grain is too simple."

"Gen, I also think black wood is very good." Xylophone nodded.

She is not as stubborn as Gen and Nanfeng, insisting on Tiemu is the best.

When Xylophone saw Shen Rong building tables and chairs in the morning, she was immediately moved. Thinking about it, let Gen and Nanfeng find time to cut wood, and they also have a whole set of furniture.

However, this time the animal den looks cramped.

Thinking about it, Xylophone's eyes fell on the half-worn hide.

Chang Xia, this child is too transparent.

Everything was planned for the tribe, it was really hard for her.

"Xyon Mu has a vision!" Chang Xia said happily.

Before noon.

The group sorted out the foundation and the appearance of the cave.

At this time, Yadong brought back a dozen stones from the rocky beach. So the hillside in Changxia was full of piles, and even Baihu Lake was full of things.

Chang Xia squatted in front of her own animal den, lighting a fire and starting to prepare lunch. She looked at the pile of things with a silly smile.

"Chang Xia, why are you smirking?" Nan Feng came over, raised his head and tapped her on the head.

Muqin glared at Nanfeng and scolded lightly: "Nanfeng, don't beat Chang Xia all the time. She has a good body. If she gets sick again, you will be beautiful."

"..." Nan Feng was speechless, and could only accept Chang Xia's scorn and scolding from Xylophone.

In the distance, Shen Rong and the others began to polish the stone pot.

All the clansmen who were onlookers left, but the storm caused by Chang Xia began to spread to the entire Heluo tribe.

Chapter 19

At noon, the sun is like fire.

There are six stoves outside the nest.

Shen Rong and the others polished the smooth stone pot, cleaned it, and placed it on the stove. The marinated meat is poured into a stone pot with oil, and within a short time, the tempting charred meat smell spreads out.

Xylophone waved the spatula, stared at the double-eared stone pot in front of him with fiery eyes, and said to Gen: "Gen, you have to go to the rocky beach when you have time. Chang Xia said that it is more convenient to cook fried meat and vegetables in a stone pot. If a stone pot is missing, you go to the rocky beach to pick a few stones and polish them into a stone pot."

The reason why she asked Gen to pick a few more stones.

The purpose was the same as Chang Xia asking Yadong for red sandalwood, he wanted to polish a stone pot for Wu Ye. Chang Xia sent furniture, and another stone pot at home.

"In the afternoon, I will go to the rocky beach." Gen Ying said.

He had lived with Xylophone for decades, and when Xylophone asked him to quarry stones, he had guessed what she was thinking, and nodded in agreement without saying a word.

"Changxia, where is the red sandalwood?" Yadong shouted. While Changxia and the others were cooking the fried meat, Yadong Shankun went back to the tribe and moved the red sandalwood that Yadong had hoarded. At the same time, there is also a warm spring with a belly.

She carried the basket on her back, and Shi Shiran followed behind Shan Kun and the two.

Nanfeng saw Nuanchun from a distance, and stepped forward to take her basket.

"Find a cool place to put it, don't expose it to the sun." Chang Xia replied.

"Okay!" Yadong carried the red sandalwood on his back and threw it in the shade of the beast's nest. Suddenly, the ground shook a few times.

Chang Xia didn't know much about wood.

However, looking at the beautiful cross-section of the red sandalwood, I was in a good mood.

"Warm spring, sit down."

Admiring enough, Chang Xia waved to Nuan Chun, motioning her to sit casually.

Nuan Chun pointed at the basket that Nan Feng took over, smiled and said, "I brought you some yellow skin root pieces. I simmered it with meat and ate it. It tastes glutinous. I think... you should like it."

"Really." Chang Xia walked over happily, took out the yellow bark root piece in the back basket, took a closer look, oh! This yellow bark is actually a yam. Immediately, Chang Xia said excitedly: "Nuanchun, this yellow bark root is a yam, where did you find it?"

Tribal females go out to pick and collect every day.

Like shepherd's purse, cabbage, green cabbage, etc., they are collectively called wild vegetables. Kohlrabi, peanuts, etc., are uniformly called root pieces.

When stewing meat, put wild vegetable roots together.

That taste, Chang Xia's scalp felt numb after eating it once.

But before, my body was too weak to eat, so I had to bite the bullet. Otherwise, you can only drink rice flour paste.

Chang Xia raised an opinion—

It's a pity that she, a cub who has been bedridden all the year round, has no right to speak at all.

As an adult, it is said that if you get married, you will be able to live independently.

Chang Xia thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

Marriage is indeed scary, but compared with the daily food, Chang Xia thinks that marriage may not be so scary.

So, she happily followed Gen and the tribe to the Normandy Grand Bazaar.

"Yam, this name is indeed better than Huangpigen." Nuan Chun held his stomach, leaned back, opened his mouth and said, "The bushes are against the wasteland of pine trees. I dug it on the edge of the wasteland."

"Changxia, yam is delicious?" Nan Feng said briskly.

Chang Xia nodded, opened his mouth and came, saying: "Yam stewed meat, yam hot pot, stir-fried. No matter how you eat it, yam tastes very good. Like some elderly people in the tribe who are not in good health, eating yam is good for the body. "

this explanation.

Not to mention Nanfeng's few foodies are excited, even Geng and Xylophone can't wait to go to the wasteland of the bush immediately.

"In the warm spring, how many yams grow in the wasteland of the bush?" Xylophone asked eagerly.

Nuanchun thought about it for a while and replied, "There are quite a few. I accidentally dug up a yellow bark root block last year in the cold season, which is yam. This year's warm season starts, so I dug some more."

"Okay, okay." Xylophone was excited.

Geng nodded to Nuanchun and said, "Tomorrow, I will tell the clansmen who go out to pick and let them go to the bush to dig yam."

"Patriarch, the best time to pick yam should be the cold season." Chang Xia said. The yam is usually excavated from November to December. Considering that the Twilight Forest is different from the earth, she is a little uncertain.

"Changxia, you can also pick it at this time of year. The yam in my back basket was picked two days ago, and the taste is soft and glutinous." Nuanchun said.

Chang Xia picked up a yam and looked at it a few times.

Warm Spring is right, the yam did not germinate, and the reed head did not grow pearl buds. Chang Xia suddenly remembered the ginkgo fruit all year round, and suddenly lost his mind.

"That afternoon, let's try stewing some yam with meat." Chang Xia didn't hesitate any longer, and decided to add another dish for the afternoon.

Upon hearing this, everyone agreed in agreement.

I learned that there is delicious food at noon.

Xylophone Nanfeng took over Chang Xia's job of cooking fried pork and asked Chang Xia to prepare lunch.

Nuanchun held her stomach and followed Changxia. In her words, she wanted to learn from Changxia. Whether it is a Hui tribe religious person, or go home and do it yourself, it is a very timely choice.

After listening, Chang Xia didn't stop Nuan Chun from helping.

Let Shen Rong go to Baihu Lake to get fish and shrimp, and Chang Xia brought Nuan Chun to pick up and clean up the food sent by the clan. Except for a part of the meat, the rest is made into fried meat.

Wild vegetables, rhizomes.

These are what Chang Xia wants to rummage most.

Sure enough, she quickly found the baby.

Chili, Chang Xia found a bell pepper the size of a fist. Picking it up, a pungent smell rushed to the face, and Chang Xia smiled very happily.

To be a vegetarian all the year round, for Chang Xia, who grew up in southern Hunan, it is simply inhuman. UU reading www.

When she found chili peppers, she quickly found delicious condiments such as Chinese prickly ash and cinnamon. Chang Xia found cabbage and radishes in the wild vegetables. She was not surprised, after all, she had eaten them all. It's just that the cabbage radish in Twilight Forest is twice as big as what she's seen before.

"What's this choking?" Nuan Chun covered his mouth and nose, took two steps back, and said in surprise, "This taste is more irritating than **** and garlic, are you sure it can be eaten in Chang Xia?"

Vaguely, she seemed to be using this thing as medicine.

As for the taste of warm spring, I feel terrible even thinking about it.

"Chili, this taste is spicy. Next to it are Chinese prickly ash and dried tangerine peel. These can be used in dishes." Chang Xia said excitedly. Praise the tribe, it seems that there are people in the tribe who like to hoard as much as they do.

However, she was surprised that there would be peppers this season.

The prickly ash and other things are dry, they should have been picked and hoarded by a certain clan before.

The cabbage and radishes are wilting. At a glance, you can tell that they were collected and stored in the cold season last year. In comparison, fresh wild vegetables taste better at this time of year.

However, Chang Xia didn't dislike it at all.

Naturally, the more food, the better.

When the kiln is built, she must build more cellars.

Everyone in the distance smiled when they listened to Chang Xia's explanation. Although they were curious how Chang Xia knew all this, no one really asked.

"Changxia, do you still eat fish **** at noon?" Nanfeng asked.

Chang Xia shook his head, waved the chili peppers and other items on his hands, and said loudly, "At noon, we will eat boiled fish."

Speaking, Chang Xia couldn't help swallowing.

Spicy and fragrant boiled fish, soft and delicious yam stew, fried meat and fried wild vegetables. Then let Shen Rong get a barbecue, and the fish and shrimp are stewed and steamed directly.

Soon, Chang Xia decided in his mind the menu for the afternoon meal.

Chapter 20

"Boiled fish—"

"Like stewed meat?"

Upon hearing it, Chang Xia said that he should eat boiled fish.

Suddenly, Gen and Nanfeng were anxious. Boiled fish, they have cooked before, the taste is unacceptable even for rough orcs.

Gen Qing coughed twice and whispered, "Chang Xia, I think fish **** are delicious. How about... continue eating fish **** at noon?"

"The fish **** are fresh and sweet, and delicious." Xylophone echoed.

Soon, Nanfeng Nuanchun and others started talking, just to dispel Chang Xia's idea of making boiled fish.

Ha h

Chang Xia raised his head and laughed.

With everyone's expressions, how could she not guess their thoughts?

"The boiled fish I made is different from the one made by the tribe." Chang Xia smiled mysteriously, seeing Shen Rong come back with a wooden barrel, and asked him to slice the fish and marinate the fish with salt, ginger, onion and sour juice. Nuan Chun squatted beside her, peeled and cut the yam according to Chang Xia's request, she wanted to stew the yam, the slices were too thin and it was easy to boil.

Shen Rong held the bone knife and gestured a few times.

"Chang Xia, is this enough?"

"Can."

Seeing that it was hopeless to stop him, Nan Feng could only rest his mind. After a change of mind, it fell on Shen Rong, and decisively said, "Shen Rong, leave me some fish meat, I will make fish balls."

"Uh! Okay." Shen Rong opened his mouth to talk to Chang Xia, but when he saw Shang Nanfeng's serious expression, Shen Rong chose to remain silent.

With what he knew about Changxia, boiled fish would never be unpalatable.

It's unpalatable, Chang Xia won't make it.

However, Nanfeng's attitude was too firm, so he could only nod his head.

Gen and the others did not agree, but reminded Chen Rong to let him save more fish meat to make fish balls. They all liked fish balls.

They thought that as long as they made enough fish balls, Changxia wouldn't have the chance to make boiled fish.

Shen Rong smiled shyly, and sliced two herrings weighing seven or eight catties. The rest of the fish was taken away by Nanfeng and chopped into fish paste and made into fish balls.

Chang Xia twitched the corners of her mouth, watching this scene silently.

Is she so unreliable—

Ginger, onion, garlic, pepper, prickly ash, dried tangerine peel and other ingredients are cleaned one by one in the long summer, and then drained with a small rattan sieve for later use. Shen Rong's sliced fish fillets and egg whites have been marinated. Similarly, all the meat and fried meat for stewing are cut.

With a stone pot, Chang Xia no longer worries about burning the pot.

The hand waving the spatula was full of energy.

Boiled fish, usually fresh grass carp. Baihu, what Chang Xia found the most was herring, of course it was because she only knew herring.

Boiled fish is best to put dry peppers, which can make the taste more spicy and fragrant.

Unfortunately, except for the bell peppers sent by the clan. Chang Xia has not yet had the opportunity to leave the tribe to go out to pick peppers, and there is still a long way to go before poverty alleviation.

Boil hot water in a stone pot and add salt. Cook the prepared cabbage and radish, then remove and spread on the bottom of the bowl. The radish had been boiled for a while in the pot of stewed meat and yam before, and the radish had a spicy taste when it was undercooked.

When eating radishes, Chang Xia likes to eat well-ripened ones.

The best ones are the ones that rot with a single bite, soft, and you can taste the sweetness of radishes in one bite.

In a hot stone pot, add chopped bell peppers, minced garlic, **** slices, etc. and stir-fry until fragrant, then add the fish head and fish steak and stir-fry well, and finally add the sliced fish. There is no soy sauce, wine and sugar. Changxia uses dried sour pulp instead, stir fry a little, and finally add boiling water to submerge the fish.

Gollum!

Chang Xia didn't look up when he heard a grunt.

I saw Nanfeng Nuanchun standing aside, staring blankly at the boiling fish in the stone pot. That expression was no different from that of Yadong Mountain Kun squatting and guarding Shen Rong's barbecue in the early morning.

"This is really fragrant!"

Thousands of words, Nanfeng simplified into three words.

Looking at the boiled fish in the stone pot, Nan Feng regretted it.

So fragrant, it must be better than fish balls.

Knowing that boiled fish is so delicious, she shouldn't have stopped Shen Rong from slicing the fish, does she regret that it's too late now?

Nuan Chun blinked and said, "Chang Xia, your boiled fish smells really good."

"The boiled fish I made must be fragrant." Chang Xia raised his eyebrows towards the south wind, his expression full of contentment and pride.

With a smile on the corner of Xylophone's mouth, he said, "The tribe usually cooks fish directly, or adds some wild vegetables and root pieces. How can you be as careful as you?"

She also heard from Chen Rong that when cutting a fish, you should throw away the contents in the belly of the fish, and the black ones in the belly should also be torn off. The fish scales can be scraped or not, depending on whether you eat them or not. Like Chang Xia, she wants to scrape off the fish scales.

There is absolutely no means of removing the smell.

The taste of fish cooked in this way is self-evident.

"The fishy smell is strong, so you have to handle it carefully. It's a pity that there is no soy sauce and cooking wine, otherwise it would be even more delicious." Chang Xia said, pouring the cooked fish into the bowl where the cabbage and radish had been placed.

Finally, pour in the oil and stir-fry the chopped chili peppers together. This time, she fry the chili to dry color, the rich spicy fragrance, and pour it on the fish meat together with the hot oil.

There was a sizzling sound in an instant.

Listening to the sound, smelling the spicy aroma in the nostrils.

Everyone started swallowing nonstop.

Spicy, it was the first time they smelled this fragrance. My nose is itchy and I want to sneeze, but my mouth keeps saliva.

"This tastes more fragrant than barbecue!"

"I decided that boiled fish is my favorite food."

In an instant, everyone had no intention of chatting. They crowded to the table one by one, staring at the boiled fish on the table. The shallow-bottomed pottery bowl, about the size of a wooden basin, looked at the brightly colored boiled fish in the pottery bowl.

Fish **** or something.

For a moment, they were left behind.

"Don't worry, get the other dishes ready before eating." Chang Xia said.

She moved neatly, poured the cut fried meat into the stone pot and stir-fryed it. After it was fragrant, she poured in the wild vegetables and added salt. The pot with meat and yam simmering next to it is steaming hot, which is different from the domineering scent of boiled fish, but it is also very tempting.

On the other side, Shen Rong flipped the barbecue in his hands.

The rich aroma of grilled meat, the pungent and spicy aroma of boiled fish, and the sweet aroma of stewed yam with meat. For a time, the whole place was filled with the aroma of food.

Gen they put down their work and hurried over to help.

Xylophone Nanfeng puts the fish in the pot, and Nuanchun is responsible for the fire. The fried meat has all been boiled, put it aside and wait for the oil temperature to drop, and then pour it into a cleaned clay pot for storage. Of course, Chang Xia promised Yadong's fish **** and fried meat, and she didn't forget it. It was specially packed in a pottery pot and brought back when Yadong returned to the tribe.

In this way, when he wants to eat, he can eat it directly, or he can eat it after a little processing.

Just now, Gen said that the tribe will go out hunting in the future.

You can prepare some fried meat and fish **** in advance, so you don't have to worry about going hungry when you hunt.

After a while.

After a busy meal, everyone sat around the long table.

"Come on, let's eat." Chang Xia said hello, and everyone buried their heads and started to eat. No one was willing to look up, and saw the tableware and chopsticks flying off the table.

At the same time, there is the sound of gasping from time to time.

Obviously, the first time I ate chili, I was too hot. However, even if it is spicy, no one is willing to not eat it. Food attributes, regardless of country and race. The taste of chili, once you eat it, you will be obsessed with it.

"It's hot, what's hot—" Gen shrank his mouth, his mouth swollen from the hotness, he looked at Chang Xia with a piece of chili pepper in between.

Chang Xia replied, "Chili peppers."

"Yes, where did the peppers come from?" Gen asked.

"I don't know where the chili came from." Chang Xia shook his head, looked at the root, and said, "Patriarch, you will go back to the tribe and ask me later. Chili has many uses, just like chili pepper. Fried meat, scrambled eggs with peppers, boiled fish, boiled meat…"

After hearing the name of Chang Xia's dish, everyone knew that chili was definitely a good thing.

Picking, you must pick a lot.

Xylophone looked at Nanfeng, and Nanfeng said, "I haven't seen chili near the tribe."

"I haven't seen it either." The warm spring echoed.

Yadong Shankun also shook his head, they all knew the plants near the tribe. The appearance of bell peppers is very special, if you have seen it, you must be impressed.
