Ancient wasteland

Chapter 45 Dyeing

The black-skinned wild boar brought back by the hunting team was quickly skinned and deboned. Jing Yu first chopped the ribs into about 5cm pieces, heated them to fry until fragrant, and then added water.

There are still relatively few seasonings in the tribe, mainly relying on the fragrance of the meat itself.

The pork ribs that have been stir-fried over high heat are fragrant in themselves, and the fat has been refined at high temperature, and it is slightly golden, and the color is very beautiful.

Because the radish itself has sufficient water, you don’t need to add too much water when stewing, just cover the ribs a little.

Looking at the pork ribs simmering in the pot and smelling the overbearing aroma, Jing Zhu couldn't help drooling.

It is simple pork ribs with salt, no chili and other seasonings, mixed with radish and stewed, very popular in the tribe.

The radish itself has a sweet taste, mixed with wild pork, which can neutralize the fishy smell of wild pork and make the meat delicious!

Needless to say, the radish stewed with the pork ribs becomes soft and delicious after soaking up the gravy, just like eating meat, not as greasy as meat.

Especially when the priest is old and his teeth are bad, he can only drink broth when he can't eat meat on weekdays, but he can eat more than half a bowl of radish cubes.

Seeing that he likes it, Jing Que specially reserved a few radishes for him to eat later, but the quantity is not much, after all, he will confiscate as many as he likes.

The taste of the big white radish completely conquered the tribe. After dinner, the fish came to him and asked him if he could pull out all the radishes in the field and eat them.

Jing Que slapped his head with a black face, "Don't let them think about it, I used it to save seeds, if there is less, there will be nothing left to eat."

Yu pursed his mouth, "Anyway, I want to eat it, isn't it the same as eating it now, this radish is delicious, let's eat it now."

Jing Que didn't even bother to explain the concept of saving seeds to her, but just told her that the radishes should not be moved, they were to be left in the ground to grow.

Although Yu was not very happy, he obediently agreed, and turned to ask him, "Can those green vegetables be eaten? They grow on radishes."

Pointing to the colorful radish shoots next to it, the radish is now fresh and tender, and has not yet bloomed and set seeds.

The radish sprouts are also very tender and can be eaten as wild vegetables. Jing Zhuo nodded, "It's edible, you can fry it or cook it."

He hesitated a little after finishing speaking, "Leave a small basket for me after washing. I'll try to pickle the sauerkraut and see if I can get the sauerkraut out."

Pickled sauerkraut is basically made of cabbage. The pickled sauerkraut tastes delicious, rich in nutrition, easy to preserve, and can be appetizing and refreshing.

The current staple food in the tribe is still meat. It must be very good to have sauerkraut to relieve the greasy, but unfortunately he failed to grow cabbage.

It is also possible to pickle with radish sprouts. He had eaten sauerkraut pickled with radish sprouts when he was a child, and the taste was crunchy and delicious.

...his mother often took the stalk in front of the radish sprouts, cut it into small pieces, and sprinkled some chili oil on it for him as a snack.

It is really sour, crunchy and spicy, very delicious, and it left a deeper impression on him than the spicy strips sold in small shops.

The fish nodded in response, and took people to the stream before it was dark, cleaned the radish shoots, hung them in the food frame to control the water.

Jing Que went to see the long-haired baaaaaa and the red-eyed animals he raised, and the females who were captured with their cubs gave birth to the baaaaaaa and the red-eyed animals.

Now in their tribe, there are six bleating beasts and twenty red-eyed beasts... I have to say that red-eyed beasts and rabbits are quite capable of breeding.

When they were first captured by the wild, they were still a little panicked, but they found that the tribe not only did not kill them, but also gave them young grass to eat.

Slowly get used to it, there is enough food all day long, and there is no need to worry about the presence of natural enemies around.

These bleating beasts and red-eyed beasts lived a comfortable life. After eating and sleeping all day, the stomachs of the two red-eyed beasts began to bulge again.

At this rate, Jing Zhu felt that the rabbit wool sweaters and scarves in their tribe would come faster than the woolen coats.

When the first batch of red-eyed beasts grew up a bit, they were isolated and lived separately. The original wooden frame had been heightened into two floors.

Cao Heshui was standing in front of the wooden frame, feeding the rabbits and stuffing the grass through the gaps in the wooden frame. They are now the breeders of the tribe.

I spend all day researching what the red-eyed beasts like to eat, what the bleating beasts like to eat, and then they will be near the tribe with a basket on their backs to mow the grass for them.

The two children were growing up, and there was no shortage of food in the water season, and they grew taller like bamboo knots.

He looked a bit like about ten years old, and when he saw Jing Qu coming over, Cao Xian greeted him with a smile, "Jing, the red-eyed beast is about to give birth."

Jing Que, "...so fast!?"

It's only been two months since I was caught, and the little rabbit was born not long after I was caught, so why is it going to be born again? !

He walked up to the wooden frame and saw that the two pregnant rabbits had bulging stomachs, and they looked like they were about to give birth to a baby rabbit.

Jing Que stretched out his hand to poke the door frame in front of them, trying to make them move down, but unfortunately these rabbits were raised so boldly that they ignored him.

Smiling and retracting his fingers, Jing Que smiled and talked to Cao, "Now the number of baaaaaaa and red-eyedaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa has increased, can you come here in a hurry.

Do you want me to ask the collection team to cut some green grass while digging wild vegetables, so that you can save some trouble. "

Grass shook his head, "I'm fine with water! I've eaten so much recently, and my strength has become very strong, and I can carry a lot of grass back!"

After speaking, the corners of his mouth parted, revealing a smile that lacked two front teeth, "Shui and I often have sneaky discussions, and we will surely awaken as warriors."

While saying that, he lowered his head in embarrassment, Jing Que reached out and touched his head, "I believe you will definitely be able to awaken as warriors."

Even if he can't awaken naturally at that time, he can still be supported by small medicines!

Cao's eyes immediately became bright, "Really?!"

Although both he and Shui secretly yearned for awakening as a warrior, Jing was the future priest of the tribe.

And Jing is very powerful. Since Jing appeared in the tribe, their Dashan tribe has become better and better, and there are more and more good things.

They often heard the old people in the cave chatting, and they all had uncontrollable smiles on their faces when they talked about the scenery.

With the scene, they all have the determination to survive the cold season.

Jing said that if they can become fighters, then they can do it!

Cao was full of excitement, "Thank you Jing, we promise to take good care of the bleating beast and the red-eyed beast, and let them have more cubs!"

Jing Yu smiled and nodded, "Okay!"

Looking at the bulging belly of the red-eyed beast, he smiled and smiled, the smile on his face froze slightly, they couldn't keep up with the efficiency of the red-eyed beast.

But during this period of time, there were many man-making activities in the tribe. Maybe some women had already carried children, but they didn't realize it.

The tribe could not develop because of the small number of people. Every population is very important, including those who have not yet been born.

Jing Qu sighed secretly, he was really worried about the tribe.

After talking to Cao and Shui, Jing He went to find Yu Yu with his scepter, and asked her to call over all the women in the tribe who were about to give birth.

Check their pulse one by one, and there are really two pregnant women, both of them are from the hunting team, among them there is Bei, and there is a man named Chong.

... Although the name is a bit ugly, the woman named Chong is a rare and beautiful girl. She is about the height of a fish, but a little stronger.

The facial features are three-dimensional and exquisite, the skin is a healthy wheat color, the hair is a little lighter, a light chestnut color, and she is completely a European and American Fan Yujie.

Both Bei and Chong didn't know they were pregnant, and they were very happy when they heard Jing Que's words, but they refused to listen to Jing Que's advice and stopped hunting.

In their view, there is no conflict between carrying a cub and hunting. How can a woman stop hunting as soon as she carries a cub.

They all stop working when their bellies get bigger and they can’t move, and they can continue to move after giving birth to their cubs.

Jing Yu followed up with the explanation for a long time, her mouth was dry and she drank a pot of water, but she refused to listen, and insisted on participating in the activities of the hunting team.

Jing Que was furious when he heard this, and pulled Ye who was sitting next to him, "Come and tell them!"

Ye Ye didn't even ask him the reason, but kept a calm expression and looked at the two quietly, "You follow the collection team."

Bei squinted his eyes and wanted to fight for a few more words, but Ye Ke didn't intend to give her a chance, and his expression was calm, "Either we have fought, and whoever wins will listen to whoever wins."

Bei rolled his eyes speechlessly, Ye was just a little monster, not only a beast warrior, but also the strongest in the tribe in terms of strength and speed.

Even archery, which she is proud of, can't compare to the wild, so what is the comparison, she doesn't fight the wild, she can't beat the wild at all.

If you can't beat it, you can only obey, "I see, why do you just listen to Jing's words like that?! He does what he says!"

Ye turned his head to look at Jing He, and nodded with a serious expression, "What Jing says is what he says, he is right, we all have to be obedient."

Bei snorted softly and muttered softly, "It's really troublesome, I've never seen you listen to Yun so much before!"

Ye was a little stunned, and then looked at Jing Zhu with a little more tenderness in his eyes, "He is different from Yun, I am willing to listen to him."

Jing Zhuo, "..."

Although he knew Ye meant that he knew a lot, so he was willing to listen to him, but why did this sound so pleasant to the ear? !

He couldn't help being happy, his heart was jumping, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he couldn't control his mood.

Turning his head to look at Ye, "What you have to say makes sense, and I will listen to you."

Ye Ye nodded solemnly, "Yeah."

Bei, "..." I shouldn't be here!

Jing Qu smiled and gave each of Bei and Chong a pill to strengthen the foundation and cultivate the vitality. According to his idea, it was to let Bei and Chong stop working and raise their babies with peace of mind.

But this is obviously unrealistic. They are both used to high-intensity activities, and they had to be suppressed by wild force to transfer them from the hunting team to the collection team.

I want them to lie down in the tribe to have an abortion...Dream!Fortunately, they are in good health, so it shouldn't be a big problem for the collection team to dig wild vegetables.

Giving them small pills is just in case, after all, accidents are prone to occur in the early stages of pregnancy.

After sending the shells and worms away, Jing Qu walked around in the cave in a good mood, and took out the cowhide boots that had been made, and gave them to Ye.

The boots were made and left there for a long time, but Mizuki Rino avoided him a bit and never had a chance to take them out, seeing the weather getting hotter.

Boots are definitely impossible to wear. Jing Que made sandals by the way. The style is more sporty, sturdy and reliable, with many straps.

The one he made for himself has already been put on. It is cool and comfortable, and it will not affect his activities at all. It is no problem to run, jump and climb mountains.

It's a great tool for the dry season!Simply great.

Ye Ye looked at the boots and other strange-shaped things in front of him, feeling a little puzzled, "This is..."

Jing Que smiled, "These sandals are for the dry season. Put away the boots first, and wear them when the weather is cold. Come and try them on."

Ye took the shoes and put them on his feet. The size was just right. Jing Zhu estimated that Ye would not grow any taller, so he didn't reserve a loose size.

It's not suitable to do it at that time. After all, Ye Ye's exercise intensity is so high all day long, so he doesn't expect the shoes to last for many years.

Wearing Jing Shuo's sandals, Ye stood up and walked in the cave, feeling really soft, thanked Jing Que with a smile, "These shoes are really nice."

The shoes themselves are fine, and someone who makes them for him is equally fine.

Ye Ye was abandoned by the tribe around the Dashan tribe. The place where his original tribe lived was attacked by a herd of beasts, and the soldiers suffered heavy casualties.

There were still many herds of beasts staring outside, so the patriarch decided to migrate. He was seriously ill and could not walk, so the patriarch decided to abandon him.

Grandma cried and stuffed her dried meat into his arms, and left with the tribe's team. Yun picked him up and brought him back to the Dashan tribe, and asked the priest to save him.

His name is Ye, the wild of the wild grass.

No one has ever made weapons or shoes for him, only Jing.

Bei asked him why he listened to the scene so much, because the scene was worth it, because he wanted to hear it, not only he listened to the scene.

He will make everyone listen to King's words!If you don't listen, call until you listen!

Jing Zhu first marinated the leftover radish sprouts into sauerkraut.

The production of sauerkraut is very simple. It is divided into raw pickling and cooked pickling. Raw pickling is to put the radish sprouts neatly in the jar, and sprinkle salt in the middle!

After all the yards are finished, pour boiling water into the tank, and wait for the natural fermentation of vegetables to produce lactic acid bacteria, forming sauerkraut with unique flavor.

The process of cooked pickling is similar to that of raw pickling, except that the radish sprouts need to be blanched before pickling, that is, they should be soaked in boiling water for about 2.3 seconds.

Then put it into the vat and wait for fermentation, but it is difficult to control the time and degree of boiling during this process, otherwise the sauerkraut will easily rot.

It can be used if the production quantity is small, and it is not suitable to accumulate a large amount of sauerkraut in the future. Jing Zhuo chooses raw pickled cabbage, and waits to eat sauerkraut after sealing the tank.

After the water season, the temperature began to rise continuously, and fur could no longer be worn. Clothes made of ramie and cotton leaves became popular.

Jing Que began to think about dyeing clothes. The leaves are fine, and the green color itself is not ugly.

But the white sackcloth, Jing Zhu doesn't like it very much, it's unlucky!

He first tried to extract dyes of various colors from flowers and leaves, that is, first crush the colored flowers and dissolve them into a solution.

Then try to dye the color on the linen, and then use salt and alkali to fix the color, the progress is not bad, the linen itself is a plant fiber.

It is very compatible with vegetable dyes, and it is easy to fade when it is easy to apply. Most of the dyed color will fall off after washing, and it will disappear after washing.

This result is not very satisfactory to Jing Yu.

However, during the dyeing experiment, there was still a pleasant surprise. That day, he accidentally threw the freshly picked leaves into the rose solution.

...Then you get a soft leaf that is nearly rose red, the green on the leaf surface is still there, but it is squeezed to the side by the rose red, and becomes a foil!

The overall color is rose red, and it is very uniform, without any uneven dyeing, and the color is very beautiful.

Jing Que was a little surprised when he looked at it, "This is...the leaves are dyed by itself?! Sure enough, the power of nature is infinite."
