MTL - Transmigrated To Ancient Times To Farm And Build A Kingdom-Chapter 3 Plant chives, make fish baskets

"The taste is average!" Chang Xia said.

This pot of fish ball and wild vegetable soup is delicious, but it is still a long way from delicious. Mainly without removing fishy smell, poor 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. Eating fish **** and drinking delicious wild vegetable soup, he even felt that the pain on his body was relieved by two points.

"When I find the ingredients such as ginger, green onion, garlic, etc., I will make you a more delicious meal. Are you full? If you are not full, I will get you a boiled river prawn. The river crab, steam it directly." Chang Xia shook his head. satisfied, asked.

After a busy morning, both of them were hungry.

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

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

Bowl, polished with wood.

Pottery bowls are fragile, and they are poor in the long summer, so they cannot afford more pottery.

The pottery in the animal den was all given to her by the tribe. The Heluo tribe has a kiln - a stone kiln. The elders who have lost the ability to hunt are responsible for burning the kiln, and the tribe needs pottery, which can be exchanged for animal skins, animal bones, animal teeth and food by barter.

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

Hunting is nothing short of a fantasy to her.

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

However, it doesn't matter so much now.

Chang Xia picked out the small river prawns, prepared them for drying, and ground them together with the shrimp skins into powder, which was made into shrimp powder as a seasoning. After all the fish **** and wild vegetable soup in the pottery pot are eaten, wash them, add water, put in the scallions and cook with the river prawns.

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

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

Then, he greeted Shen Rong to start eating river prawns.

"Taste-"

Shen Rong followed Chang Xia's example and cut his head to remove the shell.

"Huh?"

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

"If you pair it with balsamic vinegar or soy sauce, it will taste even better!" Chang Xia regretted that she liked this boiled river prawn more than fish balls.

Shen Rong glanced at Chang Xia and started eating silently.

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

Four herrings, several catties of river prawns, plus a palm-sized river crab, the two of them were fully fed and lay down, unwilling to move.

"In the afternoon, I'm going to cut some green vines and come back to weave a new fish basket." Shen Rong's mind was full of the smell of fish balls, river shrimp, and river crabs. Without Chang Xia's reminder, he took the initiative to start weaving a fish basket, wanting to make a big effort.

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

Shen Rong's injuries have not healed, so 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 tableware.

Separated from each other and started to get busy.

Shen Rong took the stone knife and walked towards the bushes under the mountainside. There are a lot of green vines growing there. In addition to green vines, he also intends to find out if there are vines that are more suitable for weaving fish baskets.

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

She was attracted to this beast den because of the hillside on the west side of the mountain, where Chang Xia wanted to build a mountain-backed kiln as her home in the Heluo tribe.

The loess layer of the Heluo tribe is very thick, like the Shaanxi, Gansu, and Ningxia regions of China, which are very suitable for cave dwellings. The Twilight Forest is dangerous in the cold season, and the beasts even dare to attack the Horde in the cold winter.

The animal den could not bring Chang Xia a sense of security, so building a kiln became her obsession.

With Shen Rong, Changxia plans to put the construction of a kiln on the agenda.

Here comes.

To open up wasteland, you can't do anything indiscriminately. Changxia plans to plant chives on the left side of the animal den. In the future, this place can be circled as a vegetable field.

Without a hoe, Chang Xia made a simple stone **** by binding a long pointed stone with vines and a stick. Pull up the weeds, then use a stone **** to turn out the roots and stems of the weeds, throw them aside and pile them up, and then burn them into grass ash after drying. First, the plant ash can be used to fertilize the land, and second, the plant ash can be used to clean kitchen utensils and so on.

She couldn't find acacia for the time being, and she needed plant ash to take a bath and wash her hair.

Orcs, probably because of the plush.

Basically, not many people like to take a bath.

Chang Xia took a bath and shampooed her hair frequently. She didn't make friends, play, or fall in love. Naturally, she became a wonder of the tribe. Fortunately, she lived in her house, and the discussions of the clansmen had little effect.

When Shen Rong came back with a large pile of green vines, Chang Xia opened a third of the ground. On one side, the roots of weeds are piled up in piles, and the soil is very sandy and dark. It is a good piece of land.

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

If people have no dreams, they are no different from salted fish.

Seeing Chang Xia sweating profusely and her little yellow face full of embarrassment, Shen Rong felt a little distressed and rebuked, "Chang Xia, tell me what you want to do, and I'll do it."

"It's alright, it's good for me to exercise if I'm out of shape." Chang Xia waved his hand and didn't care. Orc females are no weaker than males, and Changxia still wants to learn to hunt, so physical exercise must be put on the agenda.

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

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

Among them, several kinds of Changxia have never been seen.

After listening, Shen Rong could only stop chattering and pointed at the vines in front of him, "The green vines are 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 this, Chang Xia patted his head.

"The back basket, the basket, and the dustpan are all missing. Try to tear the vines apart. It is easier to weave the slender vines." Chang Xia said, stood up, and helped Chen Rong drag the vines back to the beast's nest while walking. , making a gesture, "...Weave two rattan curtains, whether it is used to sleep, hung up to block the wind, or used to dry things, it is very convenient. Weave baskets and baskets of different sizes, which can be used for stacking at home. s things."

Shen Rong didn't interrupt, and nodded again and again.

In his mind, he tried his best to describe what Chang Xia said, and at the same time marveled at Chang Xia's proposal.

Together, the two dragged the vine back to the beast's den.

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

At the entrance of the animal den, there is a half-human-high stone jar. This stone jar was left by the previous owner. Fortunately, there is this stone jar. Otherwise, the two of Chang Xia 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 Shenrong is too poor.

Temporarily unable to replace the pottery jar, the existence of the stone jar saves a lot of trouble.

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

He sat down on the stone bench at the entrance of the animal den.

"Shen Rong, I want to build a kiln." Chang Xia was eating the green fruit, squinting, looking at the blue sky, the breeze blowing across his cheeks, warm, with a little coolness, so refreshing that one wanted to restore the body of a beast. Get some sleep.

"Jianyao?" Shen Rong tilted his head, looked at Chang Xia in astonishment, and hesitated, "You mean the new animal den?"

"No, it's not the same as the animal nest." Chang Xia shook his head, picked up a branch and gestured on the ground, drawing a backing kiln. At the same time, she pointed to the hillside to the west, "I want to build a backing kiln there, with a vegetable field on the left, then build a grass hut to raise chickens and ducks, and plant fruit trees on the right. Under the mountainside, near the lake, Wasteland is used for farming..."

Shen Rong was confused.

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

This is a completely different way of life from the current orcs. It sounds interesting.

"What do you need me to do—"

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

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

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

Then tacit understanding began to deal with the pile of vines, classification. The green vines used to weave fish baskets before the long summer are relatively hard and are not very suitable for weaving fish baskets. However, after baking it is different.

one afternoon.

The two of them competed with the vines.

Before sunset, Shen Rong weaved three fish baskets out of soft and fine rattan. Two rattan curtains, dustpans, rattan baskets, etc. are all woven. The remaining vines are torn open and set aside to dry. Wait until tomorrow has time to continue.

Chang Xia rubbed the torn vines and gestured to her feet.

"Changxia—" Shen Rong shouted softly to show his inquiry.

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

Orcs have thick skin and thick meat, so they are not particular about it.

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

The straw rope is too brittle and easy to break.

The thin vine in front of him was torn apart by Shen Rong into slender strips. Chang Xia carefully rubbed it, it felt like a thick hemp rope, so he had an idea.
