Chapter 46 Busy Autumn

The bark calendar recorded that when it was almost September, the rumbling thunder brought three days of heavy rain and rolled to the south.Although it was still extremely hot during the day, at night, the body felt the coolness of the night wind.

Ning Fei counted the days with his fingers, and carved the word "autumn equinox" on the bark.

Muyun and the two brothers started to prepare things to go to the beach.

Originally Ning Fei planned to use the rotation system, but Mu Yunyu went to the seaside and felt very satisfied, so he assumed the function and responsibility of the transport plane.After all, it only takes half a day for him to go back and forth, which shows the benefits of the plane. No matter how fast a car on land can run, it can't be compared.

Dahua and Sun Man'er wove more than a dozen large bamboo baskets early on, and tied them with ropes in a stack. In the top bamboo basket, there were bread, barbecue, some fruits, and a few pieces of soft fur for occasional use. needs.

"Brothers, you have a heavy responsibility." Ning Fei patted Mu Yunchu's shoulder. He wanted to pat Mu Yunyu too, but Brother Diao was too tall, so it was a bit ugly to pat on the shoulder.

Last winter, the food harvested by the sea was eaten for a whole winter, which added a lot of deliciousness to the monotonous food of the orcs.Although there is no shortage of meat nowadays, seafood is still a very good table choice.

More importantly, there is salt.

There is not much salt for daily consumption, but Ning Fei has made a lot of pickled products, such as various pickles and kimchi, salted duck eggs, bacon and bacon.These long-lasting foods require a lot of salt, and they're running out of salt.After the rainy season is the time to store food, the tribe needs more salt.

Although Mu Yunchu can't make much contribution in hunting, if Ning Fei doesn't go to the beach, then the second best candidate is Mu Yunchu.After all, he is a modern person, and he knows much more seafood than orcs.

The huge golden eagle flapped its wings, soared into the sky, then circled down and grabbed the stack of bamboo baskets with one claw, and the animal skin strap on Mu Yunchu's body with the other claw.This animal skin strap is made by Ning Fei, and it adopts a military style, which allows the person in the strap to sit steadily and be lifted up like a bag.Otherwise, it would be the same as when they first arrived, the cheetah was beaten to death by Brother Eagle's claws.

Watching them leave, Ning Fei began to ask everyone to perform two major tasks.

One is the autumn harvest, and the other is building a house.

These are two national activities. Although two laborers are missing, they still built houses when there were only half of them.

Early every morning, almost all the orcs went out to hunt.Not only do they have to catch the food they need to eat that day, but they also have to catch more prey to store.

Lao Shi stayed at home to watch the house, feed the livestock, watch the children, and cook a meal by the way.Ning Fei took the big flowers and dragged out the wood soaked in the distant lake to dry.After being soaked in water, the resin is removed from the wood, and the beams are not easy to crack after drying.

After scooping up the wood, the two went to the field again, and the sweet potatoes and potatoes were ready to be harvested.

The fresh and tender sweet potato vines can be fried or made into soup, which has already provided these orcs with a lot of green ingredients.Now the sweet potato vines are too old to eat, but they have become good green fodder.

Maybe it's because the land is very fertile, maybe it's because the spring water in the space is used, the sweet potatoes and potatoes grow quite big, much larger than what Ning Fei dug from the wild boar site, almost two or three roots under the vines can hold A whole bamboo basket is full.

Lao Shi came to bring them food in a basket. The three little leopards in the family had begun to understand and knew that they had to take care of the two youngest wolf brothers.

Dahua ate her lunch in big gulps, shook her sore arms, and said with a wry smile: "If you don't exercise for too long, people will become lazy." Not only did they become lazy, but they also gained weight.She thought about it, and she didn't go hunting for more than half a year. She opened her eyes every day to take care of the cubs, weave various things, or tan leather.In short, there are all kinds of odds and ends to do.

Old Shitou looked at his daughter with disdain, "Be content, others who want to be lazy don't have this opportunity." Although he disliked it, he was very happy as a father to see his daughter grow up white and fat.

After a busy day, the two of them dug out all the sweet potatoes in the two acres of land, and piled them on the ground like a mountain.The hunting orcs came back, those carrying baskets and carrying poles, and quickly moved the two sweet potato mountains back.

On the second day, there were two acres of potatoes again, large and small roots and tubers piled up almost half of the yard, and the orcs who watched were stunned.

"These are all for food, they can be eaten for a long time!" The wolf orcs were the first to sigh with emotion. They have never experienced a rich snow season, so they cherish food even more.

Ning Fei picked ten baskets each and put them in for next year's seeds, and put the rest in the warehouse, and the rest were ready to be dried in the sun for easy storage.

Sweet potatoes and potatoes are placed in large and small earthenware pots. The cooked sweet potatoes and potatoes are cut into thick slices and placed on a dustpan or mat, and exposed to the sun.Duo'er and Man'er don't go hunting anymore, the most important task for the two sisters now is to get all these things done, so as to make room for drying wheat and corn.

The corn from the three-acre field was harvested one after another, and poured into the corn coop made of bamboo.There are six full corncobs full of corn, which can be peeled, rubbed and ground into flour after drying.

The wheat is gradually turning golden yellow during their intense autumn harvest.

At this time, Mu Yunyu who went to the beach came back with two big bamboo baskets.One bamboo basket is filled with kelp, and the other bamboo basket is filled with various shellfish.Ning Fei packed him half a box of fruit, half a box of sweet potatoes and a clay pot of cornmeal.Brother Diao grabbed these things and flapped his wings, flying farther and farther.

"It's really good," Ning Fei watched as Mu Yunyu's figure turned into a small black spot, and then smiled and said to Old Shitou: "It would be great if there were a few more big feathers like this. All in one airstrike."

Old Shitou was packing up the basket of kelp, so he ignored him.

Clean the sand on the kelp by the lake, and then hang the whole fresh kelp on the fence to dry.Although it is said to be a basket, this basket is nothing more than two kelp.The pumpkins planted by the fence are also ripe. In this rainy season, Ning Fei has already picked a lot of tender pumpkins and chopped them to make stuffing. But when autumn comes, he still harvested more than 30 big pumpkins.The largest orange pumpkins are as big as a wheel, and even the smallest ones are as big as a cat food bowl.

Pumpkin is a kind of vegetable that can be stored, but Ning Fei decided to dry some pumpkins in the sun, because fresh pumpkins take up too much space, and the warehouse is only so big, and some of them are reserved for other things.

In the evening, the orcs who came back from hunting had a feast of seafood, but they did not rest after eating. Instead, they hurriedly laid the foundation for the new house while it was cool.

The Dayu transport plane started to transport seafood once a day, and on the third day, it had to leave a pile of dustpans and a large circle of mats.

"Xiao Chu said that some fish can be dried and brought back, which is convenient." Mu Yunyu repeated Mu Yunchu's words, drank a few bowls of sweet potato porridge and thought it tasted good, and asked Ning Fei to pack a jar of sweet potato porridge to take away up.

On the fourth day, Mu Yunyu started to transport the salt back. It was still the salt crust that Ning Fei had discovered, but not as thick as before.But within a few days, the salt crust thickened.Mu Yunyu collected salt shells along the coastline that had been sun-dried for many years, and some of them had formed huge salt crystals.

The front and back of the yard are covered with all kinds of food. The sweet smell of pumpkins and sweet potatoes lingers over the yard, attracting many birds.

The cubs ran back and forth in the yard, chasing away the birds that were stealing food, all of them were tired and wheezing, but they had a lot of fun.

The wheat is finally ripe, and the golden waves of wheat are really beautiful in the sun.

The dried sweet potatoes and pumpkins were put into boxes and stored in the warehouse, and the vacated ground was covered with mats, ready to dry the wheat.In the past few days, Ning Fei and Lao Shi researched a rough wheat threshing machine - a mat was fixed into a rectangular basket with thick branches, and a few split bamboos were fixed horizontally in the middle.When the ears of wheat are swung up to hit the bamboo, the grains of wheat will fall into the mat basket below under the vibration of the blow.

Harvesting wheat needs to be harvested quickly, because mature wheat is most afraid of humidity, as long as it is wet, it will become moldy and cannot be eaten.The threshed wheat grains are evenly thrown on the mat under the sun, waiting to be dried.

God opened his eyes, until they dried all the wheat, there was a faint dark cloud in the sky.

It is going to rain.

The orcs hunting in the mountains hurried back with their prey, while the orcs at home quickly put away all the food in the yard, and then covered the corncoop with mats.

Autumn rain falls.

After one autumn rain and one cold, Dahua replaced her leather bellyband again, and made two for the Sun sisters.Beautiful orc girls were wearing soft buckskin bellybands, sitting on the veranda in front of the house, marinating fresh meat, and laughing and joking.There was also a small pot of dried sweet potatoes drenched in honey beside them, and they picked one up and put it in their mouths, grinding their teeth sweetly.

After the autumn rain, we will start to dry the adobe bricks.

The mud from the lake was brought back in baskets, rubbed into the chopped straw, and beaten into rectangular clay bricks.More than a dozen wooden pillars and a row of bamboo have been erected inside the smashed solid foundation, and the apartment type is simply separated from the old house.

The air in autumn is very dry, and the adobe bricks can be used after three days in the sun.The orcs no longer go hunting, but focus on building houses, and they will build two houses in autumn.If there is still time, another warehouse can be built.

Ning Fei thought, if he has enough time, he can dig another well, if not, next spring.Because there will be too many people at that time, we can't always rely on this pool and its space spring to get water.And the well water will be cleaner, after all, it is filtered through sand and gravel soil.

Even the pool has been dug a lot deeper, less than two meters, the groundwater has seeped up, and there is no need to divert water from the lake anymore.

Mu Yunyu transports all kinds of seafood and sea salt to the tribe every day, and sometimes there are huge sea fish, which he caught from the sea.When they went out for about a month, Mu Yunchu also came back.

"I'm freezing to death." Mu Yunchu rushed to the firepit shivering wrapped in animal skins, "The seaside is freezing to death, and the wind is getting stronger and stronger, I really can't stay here."

This month, the fat cheetah has lost a lot of weight and lost a lot of weight, and even got tanned.During dinner, Mu Yunchu babbled about his time at the seaside, and a group of orcs who had never been to the seaside widened their eyes.

"Those crabs are not afraid of people. I guess I haven't seen orcs. I caught them one by one. I was afraid of eating seafood after eating for a month. And fish, holding a torch to the beach before dawn, alas Oh my god, there are so many razor clams, crabs, and small fish that I can’t even pick them up. Sometimes the waves are relatively strong, and many fish and shells and kelp will be washed ashore... It’s simply a sea of ​​treasures.”

"It will be like this if it is not over-developed. When I encountered a typhoon at the beach, all kinds of fish fell from the sky." Ning Fei was a little greedy when he heard it, and he hadn't been to the beach for a long time.But there is too much work in the tribe, and the two new houses are finally finished and just waiting to dry.The roots of the wheat in the field have to be dug out and dried to make firewood, and all the corn stalks have to be dug out, some of which are kept for the goats to eat, and some of which are kept for burning.

The firewood shed needs to be enlarged, and one is probably not enough, so another one was built next to the new house.The warehouse is also under preparation, and there are not enough rocks these days, so we have to hurry up to smash the rocks.

Some of the seafood that Mu Yunchu and the others brought back were stored in the space warehouse, and some were stored in the outside warehouse, and the seafood that was put outside was dried.There are more than 20 baskets of dried fish and various scallops in one basket, piled up to the roof.

Another thing is to increase the intensity of hunting. Ning Fei wants to incorporate the tiger tribe next to the three-way zone in winter. If they come, there will be no shortage of food.Fortunately, Mu Yunchu and the others returned, adding two more laborers.

There is a special place in the yard for smoked and dried meat. Uncle Shitou takes the Sun family sisters and Mu Yunchu to the mountains every day to find wild fruits. Many wild fruits can also be dried in the sun for winter snacks.The orcs intensified their hunting efforts, and the prey they brought back almost doubled. Whether it was the racks for drying bacon, racks for smoking bacon, or racks for drying bacon, all kinds of meat were hung.

Two large earthenware pots were gurgling on the new firepit. Ning Fei was about to cook new salt, and the recent salt consumption was really too much.

A lot of red peppers and Chinese prickly ash were dried in the dustpan by the fence. The fruits in front of and behind the house were also ripening one after another. Most of the fruits were sun-dried. Mu Yunchu even sliced ​​and roasted bananas The dry, crispy ones are especially popular.

The old warehouse was filled little by little, and the new warehouse was dried out, and all kinds of food began to be stored in it.

Sun Man'er is much better than Dahua in clothing production. She imitated the vest and leather skirt that Ning Fei wore last winter to make many more exquisite styles, and even made some half-length leather pants.Paired with thick leather boots, Ning Fei was pleasantly surprised.

Old Stone found many chestnut and walnut trees on the hill.In fact, the orcs are not interested in these things, but he ate a lot of chestnuts and walnuts last winter, and he is very fond of these two kinds of dried fruits that can fill his stomach.

Ning Fei has one more job, smashing chestnut shells and walnut shells.Coupled with the chestnuts and walnuts harvested by myself, it is definitely not a small amount.

There is a layer of peel on the outside of the walnut, and the common walnut is only after the peel is peeled off.But there is a kind of dyed juice on the peel, which will turn the skin dark brown if it sticks to the hands, which is particularly stubborn and difficult to wash.

Now the work of the orcs for their full meal at night is to peel chestnuts, peel walnuts, and rub corn kernels. Everyone has made a big mess.Even after turning into a beast shape, the meat pads are all black.

The autumn wind blew up overnight, and the leaves on the trees fell, and a thin layer of ice formed on the pool.

Old Shitou stood in the yard, looked north, and said softly, "The snow season is coming."

The snow season is coming, and the orcs are even more busy, building a courtyard wall for the sheep pen, and putting thick straw inside.The rabbit's nest is also surrounded by straw mats, leaving only the door for ventilation.

The little wild boars are fat and big, with a thick layer of hair on their bodies.They eat and sleep every day when they are full, as long as the straw inside is replaced frequently.

The wolf orcs moved to a new home, and they didn't really want to move away.But Ning Fei said that if the house can't live and the people will perish quickly, they can only live in the new house reluctantly.The structure of the new house is the same as that of the old house, but they still eat together when they usually eat, and they only need to go back when they sleep at night, so there is no need to keep fire at home.At night, I took the kindling back from the old house and lit the stove on one side.After a while, the kang was warm enough to sleep peacefully all night.

The date on the wall calendar has been recorded to the end of October, and the first snow came roaring.

Ning Fei carved two words on the bark: Winter Solstice.

During the winter solstice, dumplings are eaten.

Although the orcs don't understand why they eat dumplings during the winter solstice, it doesn't stop them from liking dumplings.

The chopping board is a large stone that is ground very flat. It stands by the wall when it is not in use, and it is put down when it is in use.Old Shitou was afraid that the chopping board would be damaged, so he made a wooden shelf for the chopping board, and used it very carefully.

The rolling pin is hewn from soaked wood and polished smooth on a stone.This thing was made by Mu Yunchu, he really wanted to eat dumplings, his thirst for food made him extremely diligent, he made several rolling pins every day, big and small.The big one can roll out noodles, and the small one can roll out dumpling wrappers.It's just that the steamer has not been made so far, and the buns are no longer edible.

Dried wild vegetables and mushrooms were soaked and chopped, and eggs raised in Ningfei's space were added.The fresh meat is hammered into minced meat and mixed with vegetable fillings, and a lot of lard is put in, and the water soaked in peppercorns is poured in.You can smell a fragrance even before wrapping it.

Ning Fei is good at rolling dumpling wrappers. When he was in the army and couldn't go back during Chinese New Year, a group of soldiers gathered around to make dumplings, so he rolled the wrappers for several years.The other person rolling the skin is the old stone, perhaps because of his focus on food, this old leopard is very interested in all the ways to make food, and he learns it quickly.

Mu Yunchu taught the other orcs how to make dumplings, but unfortunately the orcs were too aggressive, and the meat filling was squeezed out of the good dumplings, sticking to their hands.In the end, no one could learn how to squeeze dumplings, they could only pinch the edges bit by bit.

"Think about it, I haven't eaten dumplings for several years." Mu Yunchu suddenly wiped his eyes with his wrist, he missed his parents a little bit, but he didn't know where his parents are now, if they are still alive .

Mu Yunyu suddenly raised his hand and hugged him in his arms, and said in a deep voice, "If you want to eat in the future, I will make it for you."

Mu Yunchu took a deep breath and suppressed the moisture in his eyes.He pushed away a certain big bird with his elbow, and snorted, "You can make the dumplings for me..."

Mu Yunyu: ...

Since that day, Mu Yunyu has become the second person in the tribe who can squeeze dumplings, which is really gratifying.
