Lynx Entrepreneurship Daily

Ning Fei was hit and didn't sleep well all night.He wondered why the belly of the big white cat was soft, but after it was transformed into a human form, it didn't lack any eight-pack abs? ?

In the early morning of the next day, he originally wanted to patrol the mountain with Ning Zheng, but there was still so much work to do at home, so he could only run around the cave entrance a few times in anger, knowing that he was exercising Body, those who didn’t know thought this lynx had convulsions.

Old Shitou and Dahua watched the panting lynx enter the cave with complicated eyes. After the lynx had packed up from the bedroom, Old Shitou handed him a cup of mint fruit tea, "What's wrong with you today?"

Ning Fei pinched his belly and said, "Uncle Shitou, look at me, I'm getting fat."

Old Shitou was even more puzzled, "Isn't it good to be fat?" They used to lose meat in winter, but now that they are fat, doesn't it mean that they eat well?This is a good thing.

Ning Fei sighed, he had a different aesthetic from these big cats.As for a man, he has to be tall, strong, and muscular to look good, and he really becomes a fat man... In case something happens, he can't even run.

The work of the juicer is still difficult. He originally thought that he could use two stone rollers to connect up and down and squeeze the juice manually.But the fixing of the stone roller has become a problem.Later, after discussing with the old stone, it was simply made into a left-right pattern. The middle of the two large stone rollers was opened and fixed with wooden stakes. The stakes engage each other so that turning one of the rollers creates a cogwheeling pattern that drives the other.

It took a long time for the two people to make a model out of mud. The model is divided into three parts, one is the shelf for fixing the stone rollers and drainage at the bottom, the other is the two stone rollers in the middle, and the other is the stone rollers for the upper part. to push the lever of the stone roller.

Old Shitou wiped his sweat from being tired all winter and said: "This thing is much harder than a stone mill. I don't know if it's really useful." The flour can be eaten as a meal, and the squeezed juice can only be drunk as water. You can see through it at a glance.But seeing that the envoy wanted it very much, he could only follow suit.

Ning Fei pushed the lever and saw that the stone rollers were finally turning. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Anyway, I'm idle in winter, and now I don't have to worry about food. After doing this, I might be able to exchange meat with other tribes or something.

Old Shitou thought to himself that other tribes are not stupid, how could they exchange meat with you for sugar juice?But he didn't expect how popular brown sugar would be in the orc tribe after two years.

The wooden frames and levers were all peeled tree trunks. During this time, many trees in the forest were crushed by the snow, and Ning Zheng and the others dragged them back to use as firewood, and they piled up into mountains.Just pick up some smooth and strong wood, pull out the skin, and you can use it directly.And it's much easier to drill holes in wood than in stone, they just cut a shallow hole and put a little burning charcoal in it, the charcoal will burn through the wood, just take out the charcoal from time to time, the charred wood is fine dug up.

After the second heavy snow fell, several light snows fell one after another, and then the weather suddenly cooled down, and heavy snow fell again.

The big cats were so cold that they didn’t even want to go out, and the mountain tour came to an end, so a few big cats started tossing around the “juicer”, and finally when the third snow had almost melted, Get the juicer out.

This primitive juice extractor is as big as an electric tricycle. The gears on two heavy stone rollers engage with each other. One of them pushes the upper horizontal bar hard, and the stone rollers start to spin.

Ning Fei immediately came out with a bundle of sugar cane from the space, and said happily, "Come, come, try."

Ning Zheng pushed the bar, the sugarcane squeezed between the two stone rollers, the juice flowed into the horizontal groove below, and then flowed into the clay basin along the horizontal groove.The sugarcane is crushed several times in succession until no more juice can be squeezed out before it is thrown aside.After a while, the sugarcane juice in the earthen basin was full.

The big cats held bamboo tubes filled with sugarcane juice, and took a big gulp happily.With this big mouthful of sweet sugarcane juice, the fatigue of so many days seems to be swept away.After saving up a can of sugarcane juice, Ning Fei put the clay pot on the firepit, and slowly stirred the sugar juice with a stick.

The sugar juice gradually became viscous, and the color changed from transparent to dark red.

The dark red sugar juice was poured into the dustpan made of bamboo strips woven by Dahua and Tiezhu, and a layer of corn husks was added to the fine bamboo strips to prevent the sugarcane juice from leaking down.When the sugarcane juice was completely cool, Ning Fei took out the shell knife and divided the solidified sugar juice into small pieces.

Pieces of brown sugar were passed in the hands of the big cats. They were amazed, their eyes filled with disbelief.

Ning Fei cut some more slices of ginger and boiled a jar of ginger syrup with the sugar juice left in the clay pot.After pouring the sweet and spicy ginger syrup, everyone was sweating and felt warm all over.

Dashi clicked his mouth, licked the bamboo tube clean, and said: "Although it is not as delicious as the sugarcane juice just now, but after drinking it, the body is really warm. After coming back from the outside and drinking such a sip of water, I probably won't feel cold. coming."

Ning Fei held the brown sugar and laughed loudly: "I'll cook something delicious for you later!"

The flour is kneaded into a ball and pressed into a thin layer. Brown sugar and some chopped and soaked dried fruits are put in it. Unfortunately, there are no nuts such as peanuts and melon seeds.He had seen pine cones on many pine trees before, but he didn't care about the pine nuts no matter how full he was. Now that the food is abundant, he began to wonder whether he should find more nuts for storage in the future.

Brown sugar and dried fruit are kneaded into balls with lard and wrapped in the dough. Brown sugar cakes are pasted on the stone one by one. noses of big cats.

When the brown sugar cake was cooked, Ning Fei carefully tore open a piece of cake, and the sugar juice inside immediately flowed out, hanging sticky on the crust.He blew the sugar cake to cool, and handed it to Old Shitou, "Uncle Shitou, try it, be careful of the heat."

Old Stone took the sugar cake and carefully took a bite.The thick and fragrant sugar juice rolls between the lips and teeth, and the sticky mouth is full of sweet taste.

"Delicious!" Old Stone completely admired Ning Fei. He never thought that the kind of sugar cane that slapped his throat could make such delicious food. The mouthful of sweetness and the slightly sourness of the fruit, together with the flavor of lard and dough The aroma made him want to eat another one after eating one.

Ning Fei said while eating the pancakes: "When spring starts, we will go to a new place, build a house and open up wasteland. I plan to plant some corn and wheat, potatoes and sweet potatoes, and some sugar cane... …In addition to this, we have to arrange some people to go to the beach to dry the salt."

"Sun-dried salt?" Old Stone asked, "Is it the white powder used for cooking every day? Are those made in the sea?"

Ning Fei nodded.

Old Shitou shook his head and said, "I went to the seaside when I was young, but the seawater is bitter and astringent, how can it produce salt?"

Ning Fei simply took out an uncooked salt shell from the space and handed it to Old Shishi, "I picked this up at the seaside. After bringing these salt shells back, after boiling and filtering, we can get the salt we eat. No matter what Whatever dish you make, if you add a little salt, it will immediately taste delicious, but if you add too much, it will be bitter and salty."

"Then we're going to go to the seaside to find this thing in spring?" Dashi licked the salt shell, his face suddenly wrinkled, "It's so unpalatable!"

Ning Fei said: "Yes, I found a lot of salt shells last time, I don't know if there are any in this period of time, if not, maybe we have to find a way to boil the coarse salt at the seaside before transporting it back. It’s a chore and you have to take turns doing it.”

"I'll go, I'm not afraid of suffering!" Tie Zhuzi was the first to grab the spot.

Ning Fei smiled and said, "Actually, it's not a lot of hardship. There are many shell crabs by the sea, and you have eaten them too. When the time comes, bring a clay pot and cook them directly at the seaside. They are very fresh."

After a few words, the big cats who spoke were a little moved.

Ning Fei said again: "But there is no rush. We need to build the house first. There is still enough salt. We just need to store the salt before winter." According to his calculations, the four seasons here are quite distinct. It's just that spring and autumn are relatively short, and winter is slightly longer, but the longest is summer, which is what the orcs here often call the rainy season.

Abundant rain will bring endless vitality to the forest. Most of the orcs and other animals will choose to reproduce during the rainy season, so as to ensure sufficient food and let the cubs grow fat and strong before winter comes. Survive the cold winter without food.

After another heavy snowfall, there was a roar of thunder in the sky.

Old Shitou stood by the door and looked at the sky in the distance, and said softly: "The wind season is coming."

In the eyes of orcs, spring is the windy season, summer is the rainy season, and autumn is so short that it has no name, because after the rainy season, they have to work hard to make themselves fat and wait for the snow season, which is winter.

So in the eyes of the old stone, it is a blessing that Ning Fei can be round and fat.

Spring is coming, and Ning Fei is moving.

He first went to see the new location with Ning Zheng. It was a basin surrounded by mountains on three sides. Although it was called a basin, the terrain was relatively high.The advantage of this is that if the rainy season comes, heavy rain will not flood their houses and fields.

There is a small freshwater lake in the basin, and the rainwater from the springs on the mountain will be collected into this freshwater lake, and then flow from the tributaries of the freshwater lake to lower places.Now that the wind season is here, it brings warm southerly winds, and the snow that has accumulated throughout the winter begins to melt. The snow water rushes from the mountains and gathers in the lower places, forming small puddles one after another.Hibernating animals gradually began to wake up. They crawled out of their caves, tasting the clear snow water to moisten their thirsty throats that had endured the winter.

The orcs finally survived the cold winter and ushered in the season of abundant food...

"Have you packed everything? I'll take the big ones. You don't need to tear down the iron pillars and the door. Let them be left to the orcs who come to rest in the future." Ning Fei began to direct all the big cats to pack their things.Because he can change things into and out, making these orcs even more convinced that he is the envoy of the beast god, so he didn't shy away from it this time, and directly stuffed most of the things into the warehouse in the space.What was left outside and hung around the big cat's neck was only dry food for the road.

"Just enough firewood. We'll look for it when we get there. We don't need to bring the broken clay pots. Anyway, I'm going to teach you how to make clay pots... bring all the leathers, and some newest straw curtains. Just leave the old ones and leave them here.” Ning Fei couldn’t help laughing at these big cats who wanted to pick up the stones inlaid on the ground and take them away. In fact, he was quite reluctant to stay here, after all The cave was decorated by myself and Ning Zheng bit by bit, but now that there is a better place, it is completely useless here.

But when it comes to reluctance, Old Shitou and the others are even more reluctant than Ning Fei. If Ning Fei hadn't said that he would live better in the future, Old Shito wished he could live in this cave for the rest of his life.

There are also a few small caves in the new place. Although they are not as big as the current ones, they are enough to live in for a while.

The most important thing is that Ning Fei doesn't want to live in a cave anymore. In his heart, only a house can be regarded as a real home.

A group of big cats set off in the morning and did not reach the place Ning Zheng mentioned until the next morning.

The big cats couldn't care less about admiring the scenery here, they hurriedly chose the cave, moved in the things Ning Fei allocated, and were about to start building a house.

Building a house is not difficult to say, it is rare to want to build the house into something.Ning Fei thought of the houses that the forest rangers had built when he went on missions in the Northeast. The thick walls blocked the air-conditioning, and most of the rooms were made of kang, and a handful of firewood could make the room warm.

What I want is that kind of house.

The big cats now obey Ning Fei's words, and they feel a little incredible when they see the house that Ning Fei drew.They hurriedly dug a firepit, ate a simple meal, and then began to divide the labor.

Ning Fei chose a piece of highland not far from the artificial lake as the address of the house. He used a bamboo pole to draw the size of the house on the ground. The advantage of building a house here is that you don’t have to worry about the land. You can build as big as you want. How big, and no one is going to grab it!He drew a piece of foundation about 20 meters long and [-] meters wide, cut into three rooms in the middle, which is a typical northern kang-style building.

Because the time is relatively tight, they only plan to build a house for the time being, facing north and south, with a living room and kitchen in the middle, and two bedrooms on the east and west.It is said to be two bedrooms, but there is a huge heated kang built in the middle. The heated kang is divided into two halves by a wall, and there is a door on the left and right to enter.The advantage of this is that burning a stove can heat up the kangs in two rooms.

In addition to the heated kang, which is the flue wall, the wall between the stove and the heated kang is hollow, and part of the heat will also be transferred to the flue wall, so as to add more heat sources to the room.

The foundation of the house was dug one meter deep, and it was solidly smashed with layers of gravel. The interior was made of adobe bricks, and the exterior was made of split thick tree trunks to enclose all the adobe bricks. On the outside, mud was mixed with straw, pasted on top, and a layer of gravel was piled up.The wall alone is half a meter thick!

The beams of the house were made of two thick pine trees. It took a whole day to cut down the trees, and then pulled out the bark and soaked the trees in a freshwater lake for half a month to remove the grease. Dry.Because there are no tiles, the first layer of the roof is nailed with wood as thick as an arm, the second layer is placed with a thick layer of bamboo strips and straw mats, and the outermost layer is split with thick bamboo poles. Open, one front and one reverse buckle together, making the appearance of tiles.

Ning Fei thought the house was not good enough, so he built a one-and-a-half-meter-wide verandah outside the house, with bamboo as the roof, so that even if it rained, he could open the door and let the wind out.Not far from the house, he also used the remaining trees and bamboo to build a rough gazebo. Next to the gazebo, he dug a small pond with a width of [-] to [-] meters, and brought in the water from the freshwater lake. It is also convenient to take water for washing.

While building the house, they also opened up nearly ten acres of wasteland.

The land that has never been planted is very difficult to open, because it is covered with weeds and shrubs, and the root system is already deep. Grass.

But the big cats have plenty of strength. They pull out the weeds and shrubs, turn over the soil with shell shovels and expose them to the sun. When the shrubs are dry, they set fire to them.This is called burning wasteland.The advantage of burning wasteland is not only to kill insect eggs in the ground, but also to burn a lot of plant ash to fertilize the land.

It took a full month before the big cats built the house and the land was almost ready.

Ning Fei pinched his belly, all the soft fat had disappeared, and the abdominal muscles reappeared in their original positions.

Work makes you fit!

While they were busy building a house and burning the wasteland, a small group of fox orcs sneaked into the cave where Ning Fei used to be.

There are only fifteen fox orcs including cubs. Their patriarch is a young female fox. The old patriarch left without being able to survive the winter. The fox clan was divided into two, and one part chose a young and strong fox. The male fox became the patriarch, and the other part, the ten or so foxes who moved here, chose the old patriarch's daughter as the patriarch.After the new patriarch learned that Ning Fei and the others had moved, he began to consider whether to bring his own clan to live in.

The female fox, that is, the new patriarch is called Shui. She once discovered this place and this group of big cats when she came out to look for food in winter.The leopard lynx and tiger living in groups surprised her for a long time, and the fragrant smell that always wafted from the cave made her salivate even more.

But she didn't dare to enter the territory of the big cats rashly, for fear of angering the big cats, her own group would be expelled.You must know that the big cats in this territory are actually very generous, because they will not compete with small tribes for food, and some territory lords will not only drive away small tribes, but also rob them of food when food is scarce.

When she heard the news that the big cats had moved away, the water was still inconceivable, but the smell of the big cats near the cave became weaker and weaker, and there was no such fragrant smell coming out, so she knew that the big cats really Abandoned the cave and left.

I don't understand why the big cats are like this. Just in time for the changes in the tribe, she didn't argue with the proud new patriarch, and directly split into a small tribe, and formally entered the cave with her own people.
