Searching for food through the beast world

Isn't this far away?

It doesn't matter if you can't eat hot and sour rice noodles, you can give these foodies a taste.

With Ding Xiao's approval, Si He Cai and Lu Xi were left in the kitchen.One is that my image needs helpers, and the other is to avoid throwing Si and those bastards together and continue to be "molested".

Unexpectedly, this round baby Si not only knows how to eat, but is also very good at cooking food.It's not that the food he makes is delicious or novel, it's just that he has a strong hands-on ability, and Shenma's knife skills in cutting vegetables are definitely the best among them.Ding Xiao was puzzled, the knife for cutting vegetables is so good, why the accuracy of the knife for hunting is so low!Is it myopia? (dirt!)

The long-dried rice noodles were soaked in water.There is still half a can of chicken soup at home, which Abba Dun gave himself to drink last night, with dried yam and wolfberry, it tastes very good.It's good for making soup.

There are relatively few ingredients on hand.Ding Xiao asked Luxi to help fetch some pickled vegetables.Wash the dried bamboo shoots and blanch them in salt water.And what worked was the homemade chorizo ​​and dried out roast before the injury.In short, after cutting these into cubes, it can be regarded as a combination of meat and vegetables.

The chutney is still very simple.Mix vinegar with soy sauce, salt, a little Sichuan peppercorns and a little black pepper.For a more natural sour taste, he put two red berry purees in it.After making a small pot of red, black and black sauce, it doesn't look very good looking.All four people in the kitchen came over to taste it.Except for Ding Xiao who felt a little sweet, the other three expressed that they felt quite good.

The chopped shallots are first placed in the bottom of the bowl, then poured into the broth, then the cooked rice noodles are put in, then poured with two spoons of hot and sour sauce, and finally the four ingredients are sprinkled on top and ready to eat.Of course, if you want to really eat spicy food instead of the numb pepper and black pepper, you have to use Xiaoxiao’s special chili oil.

A bowl of rice noodles per person made several people happy and surprised.The very tough texture is very different from the noodles they have eaten.What's more, not everyone knows how to make noodles, and more people only know how to make pancakes.Hearing Ding Xiao said that this is rice noodles made from ground rice nuts, these people were both excited and regretful.It will take several months for the rice nuts to mature and reach the end of autumn, that is, if they want to cook and eat at home, they still don't know if they can be harvested.After all, there are not many rice nut trees in the safe zone.But when Ding Xiao said that Kun and the others had found a secluded place in the safe zone and planted a lot of rice nut trees, they immediately changed their expressions.The corners of Ding Xiao's mouth twitched.The power of eating is really great!

But while eating rice noodles in sour soup without chili oil and beef jerky, Ding Xiao complained a little.In the future, you have to become very powerful. The main reason is that it is more unpleasant to be jealous than to be injured!

Because it is necessary to make a snake-repelling kit for each person in the village, the workload is quite large.And the amount of herbs must be insufficient, but the matter of collecting herbs has been handed over to Ge Zhonghe and the village head.Now their half-orcs and females are not allowed out of the village.

A bunch of teenagers and children came to help, which made the busy elders very happy.Especially seeing Ding Xiao, Papa Joan quickly stood up: "Why are you here? Didn't I let you move around?!"

Ding Xiao smiled: "I'm too busy at home. They came to play with me. I can't have anything to play like this. Why don't you come over and help. It's easy to work with so many people."

Teng was quite satisfied with his decision: "It's still Xiaoxiao who is sensible and thoughtful. Cheng, you guys come over here. Jing, you go and help me crush this, Dongyi, you grind this into powder." After the few people in the group had arranged their jobs, only Ding Xiao and Cai were left. "You two can help sew the sack."

This... can be regarded as a professional counterpart, right?But a few female elders are sitting together sewing cloth bags, and the other guys are busy making medicine and grinding medicine, why does it feel so awkward?Especially among these female elders, there are two who once said how they are not compatible with Kun.Even if spreading rumors is a popular entertainment, Ding Xiao still feels awkward.Look at Cai again, now he can perfectly communicate sewing experience with females, but he always has the illusion of being mixed into females.It's too annoying to work like this. "Sacrifice Auntie, I'd better sew up the seam." In this way, I can sit next to my father.

It made sense for the priest to hear it, but she still noticed very keenly that Ding Xiao didn't like sitting next to a bunch of females. She smiled slightly, and then nodded: "It's okay. You can sew it up after your dad has loaded the medicine." .By the way, it’s time to change your medicine for today. I’ll change your medicine first before you go to work.” After speaking, she got up and pushed Xiaoxiao into the room.

While changing the medicine, the priest asked, "Don't you like staying with those females?"

Where did Ding Xiao think that the priest would see through it at a glance, and nodded embarrassingly: "I'm not stingy, but no one likes to stay with people who have said about themselves behind their backs, right? And when I was in my hometown, I didn't have much had contact with females."

The priest smiled and said, "I think you get along well with me, Liu Dai and Lian Zhidu."

Ding Xiao smiled wryly: "What's the same? Lianzhi is friends, and Aunt Liu Dai and you are my relatives. And I will tell you secretly that in my hometown, males are very rare (there are none at all!), so many of them are It’s half-orcs and females who form partners to breed offspring. That’s why I’ve been used to not being close to females since I was a child.” Telling a real little lie, in fact, he is also curious whether the half-orcs here also have the ability to make females have children.Of course, he didn't have any extravagant thoughts, he was just curious.

After hearing Xiaoxiao's words, the priest had a surprised expression. "Your tribe... is very similar to the ancestors of the orc tribe in the scroll."

"I've always wanted to say that I didn't see the magic scroll. I've come to help every day these days, although it's okay to look at the magic scroll later?" Very similar to the ancestors?What's the meaning?

The priest nodded: "Of course. I said you can come and see it anytime you want."

That afternoon, when Kun and He came back, they both carried a few snakes in their hands. Of course, there was a long-haired sheep kicking its legs on Kun's shoulder.

Looking at those snakes, Ding Xiao is somewhat frightened now. "Abba, why did you bring back so many snakes? Are they all poisonous snakes?" If you don't open your mouth, you can't see the poisonous sky eyes, it won't show that they are poisonous, but if these are all poisonous snakes, the safe zone can still Is it called a safe zone?

He shook his head: "No. There are no poisonous snakes here, but they were caught and eaten. There are two kinds of snakes here that the priest said that eating them is good for the wound. The others were caught by Kun."

The corners of Ding Xiao's mouth couldn't help shaking a few times after hearing this. "Then eat grilled snake meat tonight?"

Kun nodded vigorously: "I will do it!"

Seeing Kun's serious look, Ding Xiao couldn't help laughing. "Then you can do it. But how is the situation in the safe zone? Have you found any other strip-headed snakes?"

Kun shook his head: "Not yet. There should be only a few. Don't worry, it will be over soon. However, there is no way for half-orcs to hunt in the safe zone recently, and we have to wait two months for those scared away animals. to come back."

Ding Xiao shrugged indifferently to present the award. "Then let's rest for two more months. Anyway, it's not the beginning of summer, and many plants are mature, and they are also very busy. I went to the test field yesterday to have a look, and the growth is quite good. Several things are blooming." The joy is that the cumin in the yard has also sprouted!He was about to tell Kun to be careful of those cumin seedlings when building a house.

Kun smiled: "Then when you recover from your injury, I'll take you around the safe zone a few times."

Sure enough, his own big tiger understood what he wanted. "That's the deal! Also, I haven't looked at it for the past few days. How is the car doing?"

Only then did He Adie seize the opportunity to talk to his son, and gave his nephew a resentful look. "People are working on it every day, and two more cars will be ready in a few days. You can take a look at that time, and if it's good, you can continue to make other things."

Unexpectedly, he still has such great "rights", Ding Xiao suddenly felt a sense of mission blurred his face. (--|||)

The next day, Ding Xiao was pushed to the priest's house early by his father.Their father and son are the earliest "laborers" who come today.

Joan helped the priest to move herbs and other things into the yard, while Ding Xiao went directly to the backyard to see the divine scroll.Anyway, he has nothing to sew since the medicinal materials are not wrapped well, not to mention that a medicine bag is only the size of a palm, and there are just a few stitches. If he is serious, he can sew at least two in a minute. It is really very simple.There is plenty of time, and there are not many words in these scrolls, and they can be read in at most two days.

But when he really fell in love with it, the shock and indescribable excitement made him completely give up the idea of ​​working, and just wanted to read all the scrolls in one go.

At first, Ding Xiao felt that he was reading a brief account of the fairy tales of the Celestial Dynasty.Here is how the god Pan Gu opened up the world and created the world.Then he lifted up the sky for ten thousand years, and finally turned into the sun, moon, stars, mountains, rivers and rivers.There are also gods conceived in chaos and created animals and plants of different shapes.Such similar creation myths, no, not similar, but exactly the same myths, does this mean that I have not left the familiar earth, and this is not a different world or outer space?

Thinking of these, Ding Xiao wanted to finish reading the magic scroll of the Winged Tiger Clan more and more.Maybe he can find the answer to that question.

According to the divine scroll, it was a god named Zhuo who created man.She created the female in her own image, and the demigod in the image of her companion, the floating god.So there were humans in the world, demigods and females began to multiply on the earth.

Over time, demigods and females began to increase in number.Humans at that time did not need to eat or drink, and possessed great strength and intelligence.They wantonly destroyed and killed animals and plants created by other gods.The gods were so angry that the earth was instantly submerged by floods, and human beings were withdrawn.Seeing the wrath of the gods, the human beings panicked and begged the gods for mercy, begging their creator gods to give them the hope of living.

In order to save the life he created, Zhuo Shen used all his strength to tear open the cracks in the earth, and the flood poured into the cracks.Since then, sea water and land have been separated.Zhuo Shen also perished because of this.However, the surviving human beings have since lost the blessing of God.They are no longer superior, they need to eat food to survive, but without protection, divine power and incomparable wisdom, the beasts, flowers, plants and trees that were allowed to be slaughtered and ruined by them have become extremely dangerous.The powerful beasts began their revenge by capturing humans for food.Even the flowers, plants and trees gradually began to become toxic.

Floating God takes pity on the life left by his partner, he fuses beasts and strong demigods together, giving them the ability to transform into beasts, hunt like beasts, and perceive danger and poisonous breath.Since then, there have been three kinds of people in the world.Orcs that can change into animal form, half-orcs that can only maintain human form, and females.The Floating God is honored as the Beast God by all the people, the patron saint of all the tribes on the earth.

Since then, the orcs have obeyed the world's rules.Wanton slaughter is not allowed, and the life bestowed by God is not allowed to be wasted.It is not allowed to squander the food on which we live.

And the gods in the sky decided not to interfere with the lives of all the creatures on the earth, and created a god realm in the sky.From then on, man and God will never meet each other again.

The short story took up three volumes.After reading these three volumes, Ding Xiao felt heavy in his heart.Can't tell if excited or disappointed.

He looked up at the sun in the sky and the shadow on the ground.Ding Xiao suddenly realized.If this is not the earth, then the position of the sun and the moon, using the shadows on the ground to judge the time, Chinese characters and the language I am familiar with, the same myth of Pangu opening the sky... These should be enough, right?

So is this the past or the future of the previous life?

"Xiaoxiao, Jing and the others are here, do you want to go there?" When Joan came to the backyard, she saw her son's serious face, looking at the sky in confusion.The divine scroll in his hand was placed on the last page.Is there something wrong?

Called back by his father's voice, Ding Xiao closed the magic scroll and nodded, "I've finished reading three volumes. Let's go and help. Dad, do you know Pangu?"

Papa Joan nodded: "Of course I know. God Pangu created the world, and then we came into existence. Although your father and I don't know how to read, the old people still have a lot to listen to."

Ding Xiao's eyes lit up: "Really? Old people have many stories to listen to?"

Joan smiled: "Of course. Let's go, now I'm interested in stories again. Did you say in the morning that you'd go back and cook something delicious for us at night?"

Ding Xiao laughed "hehe" and said, "Don't worry, Dad, I'll make it at noon. I guarantee that I can eat delicious dried pork today!"

Throughout the morning, Ding Xiao was not in a state of working.This made Abba Joan, who was watching, a little worried.I am afraid that my son is the sequelae after the snake bite.

When the father and son went home for lunch, he asked while grilling meat, "Smile, what's the matter with you? You seem to have something on your mind today."

Seeing Abba's face, Ding Xiao said what was in his heart without saying a word: "Abba, I read the magic scroll today, and I thought of many things. I think my hometown is here too. Uh... Let's just say it's where I was born, maybe a long, long time after now, or a long, long time ago."

Joan couldn't comprehend this at all, but he was very happy that his son told him something very important.After all, once the orcs have a partner, the first thing to know about all their concerns must be the partner, not the parents. "Smile, Dad doesn't understand at all when you say that."

Ding Xiao smiled wryly: "Actually, I don't really understand. Anyway, it means that I suddenly feel that my hometown is very close to us."

"Is this not good? Why are you unhappy?" Since you are very close, why do you still laugh so reluctantly?

Ding Xiao shook his head: "I'm not unhappy. I just think about the past, and there are still some things I can't understand. But I won't think about it anymore. Anyway, if I don't understand, let's forget it. Dad, you take the five-spice powder Pass me the jar, and I'm going to start marinating the meat."

Joan sent the things to her son, and patted Xiaoxiao's shoulder lightly: "Xiaoxiao, forget about the unhappiness before. Father and father only hope that you can live happily. Kun is a good man, You will have a lifetime of happiness."

Ding Xiao raised his head and smiled at Abba: "I know. I also hope that Abba and Abba will always be happy. In short, if the whole family is happy, I will be very happy!"
