Qiao Xin took out the kettle from the space, took two sips of water, and handed it to Lang Rui.

Lang Rui paused for a moment, and a dark shadow flashed across his eyes. He took it, raised his head, and drank without touching the mouth of the pot.

Qiao Xin stared at his raised Adam's apple and clicked her tongue. The feeling of a boy turning into a young man became stronger. She couldn't help but ask: "Are you an adult?"

Lang Rui returned the pink kettle in his hand to her, "I am 20 this year."

"Huh? I thought you were only fifteen or sixteen years old! You are very tall, very thin, and fair. You look younger than other dark orcs."

"Thank you!"

"what?"

"Didn't you compliment me on how young I look?"

Qiao Xin: "..." It's a compliment when an older person says he looks younger!

"What about you?"

"What?" Qiao Xin understood what Lang Rui was asking as soon as she blurted out, "I'm 20 too."

Regardless of whether the body is 18 or 19 years old, Qiao Xin's mental age is 20, that is, 20.

"You look good for your age."

Qiao Xin: "..." So? ! I have to thank you for the compliment!

Lang Rui seemed to be in a good mood, and the movements of his hands sped up again.

Even if Qiao Xin wanted to be lazy, the water she drank was mixed with spiritual springs, and the recovery time of her powers was several times faster than usual.

Qiao Xin stood up and continued tanning.

"37 yuan, when will it be the end!"

"The tanning can be completed tomorrow." Lang Rui couldn't hear Qiao Xin sighing and increased the speed of his hand.

As the sun set, Lang Rui didn't stop for a moment except for drinking water.

Qiao Xin had already rested several times, and there were more than a dozen pieces of tanned animal skins piled around the two of them.

She tanned five pieces, and the rest was all tanned by Lang Rui.

The hides tanned by different powers seem to be different.

Lang Rui's pile had a faint silver light and looked very high-end, while hers had a green light. The green light paired with brown pigskin didn't look that good.

"Brother Rui." Qiao Xin approached him.

Lang Rui's back tightened. She had been teased by Qiao Xin with various names all afternoon, and she was still not immune. But once she called her brother, she would definitely have something to ask for, such as wanting to rest, going for a walk, and roasting chestnut potatoes. .

"explain."

"I want two pieces that you tanned." Qiao Xin, "The color of your tanning is beautiful. I want to make a pair of leather boots."

Speaking of leather boots, Qiao Xin thought of the pair of size 47 military boots in the space. She looked at Lang Rui's feet in the water and visually determined the size of 47.

"I'll trade this with you."

"No, you are the shaman of the tribe, and you should be worshiped by the tribe."

Qiao Xin still threw the boots to him, "Only your feet can wear them, take them!" If I can wear them, it will be your turn!

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

The sun had already set. Lang Rui picked up the pig skin from the water and the two returned to the tribe.

Just when she was about to sit down and rest, Mao Bai came over.

"You go over there to eat today, and I'll cook the food myself."

In the morning she saw a lot of pork suet, piled up in three baskets.

"You don't mind eating later! If you mind, you can eat over there." No matter how delicious the food is, you will get tired of it after eating several meals in a row.

Of course Lang Rui didn't mind. He spread out all the skins and hung them on a tree to dry in the shade.

The hides tanned with special powers do not need to be tanned repeatedly, which reduces a lot of processes. If you can find flowers and tan them with the flower juice, it will also emit a nice fragrance.

Lang Rui still remembered Qiao Xin's soap for bathing. It had a light floral fragrance, which smelled very good. Qiao Xin also had that smell on her body.

If the flower juice is tanned in, she will definitely like it.

Qiao Xin dragged over a large piece of pork suet and cut it into small pieces with a knife.

Add a bowl of water to the hot pot. After the water boils, pour the cut lard into it and turn it over with a wooden spoon to prepare the lard.

As the fire boils, the water in the pot becomes less and less, the lard becomes more translucent, and oil beads begin to slowly precipitate.

A strong aroma of meat spread across the open space, bombarding everyone's sense of smell.

Huya sniffed and kept looking at Qiao Xin, "It smells so good!"

"Hold it." Hu Ding scratched his nose, "The patriarch is over there."

Not to mention that these children were afraid of Lang Rui, even the adult orcs were a little afraid of him.

The longer you get along with him, the more you know that this person is cruel to others and even more cruel to himself.

Hu Ya retracted his outstretched leg and threw himself into Hu Ding's arms, "Brother, didn't you say you would help me return the egg to Master Qiao Xin?"

"I will return it for you when the clan leader is away."

"The clan leader is not here, so you are not here either! You all have to go hunting. When the clan leader is not hunting, he will be guarding Sir Qiao Xin."

"..." Why does it make so much sense?

The tribesmen sitting around the stone pot craned their necks to look at Qiao Xin. They used to stew pork suet in one pot, but later they saw Qiao Xin cooking with fat. The aroma could spread for ten miles. After that, the old cook Orcs, occasionally slice off the lard and wipe the pot first.

But I have never seen such a huge pile of fat, and it can be done like this.

Qiao Xin would use a spatula to turn over the food from time to time.

The water at the bottom of the pot was completely boiled away, and the lard bubbled out. In less than a moment, nearly half of the pot of oil was already in the pot. The lard gradually turned yellow, shriveled up, and floated on the surface of the oil.

Qiao Xin used a wooden spatula to move the lard residue to the edge of the pot, dried the oil, and brought an iron box over to serve it.

She took out a flat aluminum pot from the space and handed it to Lang Rui, who was sitting next to him making a fire. "Pull it apart and make it into a pot. Be careful not to break it."

Aluminum has good ductility, so even if it is flattened and stretched, it can still be used.

Lang Rui tried several times, but found that there was no place to catch it, it was difficult to bear the force, and it was difficult to get rid of it even with all his strength.

He looked at Qiao Xin and said, "If I step in with one foot and pull it with both hands, can I still have this pot?"

"Just wash it off."

"As long as you don't feel sick."

Lang Rui specially found a big leaf to put between his feet and the pot, stepped in, and pulled it up. The pot finally looked like a pot, but the surface was still uneven, and it was placed on the ground, a little crooked.

Lang Rui found a stone, knocked it lightly a few times, and made the bottom of the pot relatively flat, then took it to wash it clean.

Qiao Xin took a rag, wiped away the water, and poured the fried lard in.

Lang Rui found a clean wooden board to cover the aluminum pot.

Qiao Xin put water in the pot again and boiled another pot of lard.

The previous lard residue was packed into four boxes. Qiao Xin sprinkled some fine salt into each box and tossed it to make the salt more even. She called Mao Bai and gave him two boxes, "Give them to the children." "

Lang Rui went to the stone pot and took four chestnut potatoes, sandwiched a piece of lard residue, and took a bite.

There was a crunching sound, the crispy lard residue was fried to pieces, and the still-warm oil beads burst, and the aroma filled the entire mouth.

The salty taste is moderate, and taking another bite of the chestnut potato neutralizes the oily aroma in the mouth, leaving a lingering aftertaste.

Xiangde Langrui sped up his eating speed.

While eating the dinner she made, Qiao Xin felt that the temperature seemed to have dropped a few degrees again. When the cold wind blew, she moved towards Lang Rui.

"Let's dig a cave tomorrow! Let them get out."

"No more tanning hides?"

"It'll be fine if you leave it for a few days."
