Transmigrated To Ancient Times To Farm And Build A Kingdom

Chapter 3: Growing Chives and Weaving Fish Pole

"The taste is average!" Chang Xia said.

This pot of fish ball and wild vegetable soup is delicious, but it is still far from delicious. Mainly there is no fishy smell, ginger, cooking wine and other condiments.

"This is the most delicious food I've ever eaten." Shen Rong squinted his long and narrow phoenix eyes and praised. After eating the fish balls and drinking the delicious wild vegetable soup, he even felt that the pain in his body was relieved by two points.

"I'll make you a more delicious meal when I find all the ingredients, such as ginger, scallion, garlic, etc. Are you full? If you're not full, I'll make you a boiled river prawn. River crab, just steam it." Chang Xia shook his head not quite Satisfied, asked.

After a busy morning, both of them were hungry.

The fish ball wild vegetable soup is cooked, and the shrimp and crab have not been processed yet.

Shen Rong drank three bowls of fish ball and wild vegetable soup in a row, rubbed his stomach, and felt that he could eat two more bowls. So he nodded and said, "Eat."

Bowl, polished from wood.

Pottery bowls are fragile, and the long summer is poor, so I can't afford more pottery.

All the pottery in the den was given to her by the tribe. The Heluo Tribe has a kiln—a stone kiln. The elders of the tribe who have lost their ability to hunt are in charge of burning the kilns. The tribe needs pottery, and they can use animal skins, animal bones, animal teeth, and food in exchange for barter.

Poor Chang Xia grew up and never left the tribe for three miles.

Hunting is no different from the Arabian Nights for her.

Generally speaking, river prawns need to rest in water for a day or two to remove sand.

However, it doesn't matter so much now.

Chang Xia picked out the small river prawns, prepared to dry them, and ground them into powder together with the prawn skins to make prawn powder for seasoning. After eating all the fish ball and wild vegetable soup in the earthenware pot, wash it, add water, put in the green onion and cook with the river prawns.

When the prawns start to change color, turn them gently.

Soon, all the river prawns turned golden yellow. Chang Xia quickly fished out the river prawns, put two wooden chopsticks in the clay pot, and put the river crabs tied with thatch into it.

Then, greet Shen Rong to start eating river prawns.

"Taste—"

Following Chang Xia's example, Shen Rong pinched the head and removed the shell.

"Alas?"

Shen Rong exclaimed, surprised that the fresh and sweet taste of river prawns was different from that of fish balls. The taste of the river prawns is more fresh and tender, and it is springy. You can feel the prawn meat beating between your lips and teeth when you chew it lightly. It is obviously very tender, but it has a bit of chewiness.

"If it is paired with balsamic vinegar or soy sauce, the taste will be even better!" Chang Xia regretted that she liked this boiled river prawn dish better than fish balls.

Shen Rong glanced at Chang Xia and started eating silently.

After getting along for a few days, he is used to Chang Xia's occasional "nonsense".

Four herrings, a few catties of river prawns, and a palm-sized river crab, the two of them were full and lay down, unwilling to move.

"In the afternoon, I'll cut some green vines and come back to weave new fish baskets." Shen Rong's mind was full of the smell of fish balls, river prawns and river crabs. Without Chang Xia's reminder, he took the initiative to weave fish baskets and wanted to do a big job.

Chang Xia nodded and replied, "Yes. I'm going to clean up the weeds near the animal den this afternoon, and plant chives by the way. Tomorrow, we need to go out to collect."

Shen Rong's injury has not healed, hunting is too dangerous.

Chang Xia didn't want him to go out hunting with the hunting team, but gathering can still participate. Her body is too weak and needs exercise.

Division of labor and cooperation.

After resting for half an hour, the two worked together to clean the dishes.

They separated and started to get busy.

Shen Rong took the stone knife and walked towards the bushes on the mountainside. There are many green vines growing there, besides green vines, he also intends to look for vines that are more suitable for weaving fish baskets.

Chang Xia, who stayed at home, planned to clean up the wasteland near the animal den.

She fell in love with this animal den because she liked the hillside to the west of the mountainside, where Chang Xia wanted to build a back kiln as her home in the Heluo tribe.

The loess layer of the Heluo tribe is very thick, like the Shanxi, Gansu and Ningxia regions of Huaguo, which is very suitable for cave dwellings.

The Dusk Forest is very dangerous in the cold season. In the cold winter, wild beasts even dare to attack the tribe.

The animal den couldn't bring Chang Xia a sense of security, so building a kiln became her obsession.

With Shen Rong, Chang Xia plans to put the construction of kilns on the agenda.

Here it comes.

You can't do anything carelessly to open up wasteland. Chang Xia plans to plant chives on the left side of the animal den. In the future, this side can be circled as a vegetable field.

Without a hoe, Chang Xia tied a long, pointed stone with vines and sticks to make a simple stone hoe. Weeds are pulled out, and then the roots and stems of the weeds are turned out with a stone hoe, thrown aside and piled up, and then burned into plant ash after drying in the sun. First, plant ash can fertilize the land, and secondly, plant ash can be used to clean kitchen utensils and so on.

She hasn't found acacia for the time being, and she needs plant ash to take a shower and wash her hair.

Orcs, probably because of the fluff.

Basically, few like to take a bath.

Chang Xia frequently bathes and washes his hair, does not make friends, play or fall in love, so he naturally becomes a strange thing in the tribe. Fortunately, she lives in a house, and the discussion of the clan will not affect anything.

When Shen Rong came back dragging a lot of green vines, Chang Xia opened a three-point field. On the side, weed roots are piled up in piles, the soil is very sandy and black, it is a good land.

Chang Xia wiped the hot sweat from his forehead, looking forward to the land full of vegetables and fruits in the future, and fruitful. At the same time, she is also planning to build a few grass sheds not far from the vegetable field to raise poultry such as chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep.

If a person has no dreams, he is no different from a salted fish.

Seeing that Chang Xia was sweating profusely, and his little yellow face was full of embarrassment, Shen Rong felt a little distressed, and blamed him: "Chang Xia, just tell me what you want to do, and I will do it."

"It's okay, I'm not in good shape, so exercise is good." Chang Xia waved his hand, not paying attention. Orc females are no weaker than males. Chang Xia also wants to learn to hunt, so physical exercise must be on the agenda.

"I plan to use this land for planting. At present, we only have chives, and we will transplant them later when we find others."

"By the way, why did you cut so many vines back?"

Among them, several kinds of long summer have never been seen.

After listening, Shen Rong could only stop chattering and pointed to the vines in front of him, "The green vines are too hard, I will try other vines and choose the most suitable woven fish basket. Except for the fish basket, there are not enough baskets or baskets at home. use."

Hearing that, Chang Xia patted his head.

"Backbaskets, baskets, and dustpans are all missing. Try to tear the vines apart. It's easier to weave slender rattans." Chang Xia said, stood up, and helped Shen Rong drag the vines back to the animal den, walking , making gestures, "...weaving two rattan curtains is very convenient for sleeping, hanging up to keep out the wind, or drying things. Weaving baskets and baskets of different sizes can be used to hold Stacked stuff."

Shen Rong didn't interrupt, but nodded repeatedly.

I tried my best to describe what Chang Xia said in my mind, and at the same time marveled at Chang Xia's proposal.

The two worked together to drag the vine back to the animal den.

Chang Xia fetched water to wash his face and hands, "Shen Rong, come here and wash your face and hands."

At the entrance of the animal den, there is a stone jar half the height of a person. This stone jar was left by the previous owner. Fortunately, there is this stone jar, otherwise Chang Xia and his wife would have to go to the lake with water, and it would take a lot of time to go back and forth.

Right now, Changxia Shen Rong is too poor.

I can't afford to replace the pottery jars for the time being, and the existence of stone jars saves a lot of trouble.

After cleaning, Chang Xia was not in a hurry. Instead, he walked into the animal den, took out two green fruits, washed them, and handed one to Shen Rong.

Sit down on the stone bench at the entrance of the animal den.

"Shen Rong, I want to build a kiln." Chang Xia ate the green fruit, squinted his eyes, and looked at the blue sky. The breeze blew across his cheeks. It was warm and slightly cool. sleep.

"Building a kiln?" Shen Rong tilted his head, looked at Chang Xia in astonishment, and said hesitantly, "You mean a new den?"

"No, it's different from the beast's den." Chang Xia shook his head, picked up a branch and made gestures on the ground, drawing a backing kiln. At the same time, she pointed to the hillside to the west, "I want to build a mountain kiln there, with a vegetable field on the left, a grass shed to raise chickens and ducks, and fruit trees on the right. At the bottom of the mountain, the wasteland near the lake is used for farming... "

Shen Rong was confused.

However, this did not prevent him from understanding what Chang Xia meant.

This is a very different way of life from the current Orcs. It sounds very interesting.

"What do you need me to-"

"Help. We will go out to collect in the morning, and go home to dig the kiln in the afternoon. Of course, we will weave the fish baskets first, and we can't participate in hunting. Fish and shrimp are our current staple food. Also, I plan to hoard some food and invite the tribe to taste delicious food together." fish balls."

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

After finishing speaking, the two looked at each other and smiled slightly.

Then tacitly began to process and classify the pile of vines. The green vines used to weave fish reels before the long summer are relatively hard, so they are not very suitable for weaving fish reels. However, it is different after baking.

one afternoon.

The two competed with the vines.

Before sunset, Shen Rong weaved three fish baskets out of soft rattan. Two rattan curtains, dustpans, rattan baskets, etc. were all woven. The remaining vines are ripped open and set aside to dry. Wait until you have time tomorrow before continuing.

Chang Xia rubbed the torn thin vines and gestured to his feet.

"Chang Xia—" Shen Rong called softly as a question.

Chang Xia said: "I see if we can weave fine rattan into straw sandals, no, it should be rattan sandals."

The orcs have thick skin and thick flesh, so they don't pay attention.

Males often hunt barefoot, while females are covered in hides. Chang Xia was not used to it, so he tried to drill two holes in the animal skin and tie it with a straw rope to make simple animal skin sandals.

Straw rope is too brittle and easy to break.

The thin rattan in front of him was torn into thin strips by Shen Rong. Chang Xia rubbed it carefully, it felt like a thick hemp rope, so he came up with an idea.
