Searching for food through the beast world

Entering Tiger God City for the first time

Due to the sufficient food reserves last winter, many people also hoarded a lot of yams and white beans.So when spring comes and the males can hunt more easily again, the vermicelli workshop for offering sacrifices to adults opens.

In fact, since they told Ding Xiao about making vermicelli, they had an all-round discussion on when to start this "vermicelli workshop".The final conclusion is after the beginning of spring.In this way, the villagers can use the remaining white beans and yams to make vermicelli. After all, some weight will be lost from the root to the starch, which is really not to reduce the volume of food in winter.So the last winter can only be like this.

Not everyone is aware of this new thing about fans.But this time it was the "creative idea" of the sacrifice, and the villagers had instinctive trust.In addition, after trying the pork stewed vermicelli and minced meat vermicelli made by Ding Xiao, people who still have white beans or yams left at home come to process them.It's just that the quantity is not very large. In fact, the white beans and yams collected by these people have already made many families eat well.So Ding Xiao and Qiong's storage was not as exaggerated in the first place. After the winter passed, and a small amount of food was left, each household really didn't have much.

For this new job, the priest's interest is still very high.Although Ge Zhong is making the pulp and other things, the sense of accomplishment after this "handmade work" is formed is completely different from that after she cures patients with medicine.To be precise, it should be a kind of relaxed pleasure, which has nothing to do with disease, life and death.

Because Feng has to train the "kang brigade" with Kun, there is no way to help the vermicelli workshop start work for the time being.Luxi still needs to learn how to hunt. According to the current workload, Ji Ji and Ge Zhong can keep up with the work, and Ji Ji didn't ask his apprentice to help.It was because Luxi had to learn hunting as well as medical skills and reading and so on, which made time very tight, so the priest simply gave him a vacation for the time being.After all, studying medicine is a lifetime, and hunting is still the most important thing for these half-orc cubs.

Ding Xiao, who had finished planting the land, was not idle either.I pickled too many vegetables last fall, and there are still some leftovers.Except for the spicy cabbage, spicy radish and sauerkraut, all other pickles had to be sent out quickly.And he has to make a lot of spiced and curry-flavored barbecue sauce. The new year's earth snails have grown, and he has already collected a lot during the class.

But before he finished delivering all the pickles, Elder Bai appeared again.But this time he didn't bring his students, but his male partner of the White Tiger Clan.

Ding Xiao finally got to see the true face of the "little friend" of Elder Bai's family, but after seeing him, his illusions were shattered.I thought Zhang's old partner was very slender and beautiful, but it turned out to be a little shorter than Elder Bai, and the muscles on his arms were quite powerful.Anyway, it's the kind that looks very handsome and temperamental, and doesn't understand the concept of the word "shou" at all.Just comparing it with Elder Bai's size...uh...there's still a slight difference.I heard that he is more than 80 years younger than Elder Bai, so it's no wonder that Elder Bai has become such a baby.It takes decades to get married! (You think so much--)

Elder Bai came this time mainly to "lead the way" for his partner, Bai Yue. After all, the deal with Ding Xiao and Kun was private, so he had to do a good job of communication.His partner's temper is too straightforward, and this guy Kun is full of twists and turns. He is really afraid that his partner will suffer. (You are thinking too much too!!)

Ding Xiao received quite warmly this time.In addition to the "traditional" foods such as barbecue flatbread and stir-fried vegetables, he also prepared Lianghe noodles filled with pickled vegetables.It has the aroma of vegetables, meat and oil. The most important pickle has a refreshing sour taste after a winter of fermentation, which makes the meaty dumplings extremely refreshing and attractive.

Bai Yue ate very happily, especially after eating the five-spice barbecue grilled by Ding Xiao herself, she finally felt that Bai was not making herself mess up.

Elder Bai likes the big dumplings stuffed with pickled vegetables, especially the unique noodle aroma after mixing pearl fruit flour and corn flour.As for long-bearded sticks, there are quite a few of them growing in the safe zone near Tiger God City. This time he realized that this stuff can not only be boiled and eaten when it is tender, but also can be ground into powder to eat when it is completely hardened. .It seems that Kun Jia's little friend is really amazing, I don't know if there will be any delicious things he will find in the future.

Thinking of this, he became more concerned about getting Kun and Ding Xiao the keel badge.Bringing everything from other tribes back to their Mavericks, this is simply a perfect thing!

So the mind of the Elder Elder coincides with that of Brother Kun.So, the male god horses are indeed good creatures who love the tribe! !

Fortunately, there is a special bamboo tube with a lid made by Kungo, which is convenient for carrying the sauce. Otherwise, it would be really unsafe to carry the clay pots one by one.

Forty bamboo tubes of spiced barbecue sauce and twenty bamboo tubes of curry roux.Ding Xiao also presented Bai Yue with a small jar of mixed pickles. After getting a large bag of shellfish, he sent away the elder and his wife with satisfaction.

Seeing Xiaoxiao's happy face, Kun hugged his partner in his arms contentedly: "Xiaoxiao, you've grown taller again."

This is as nice as making money, and Ding Xiao smiled even more immediately: "That's right! I finally got on the same side as Lvxi, but this brat Jing got a lot taller in the winter. Why do you think he is like this? , the meat is also growing, and the size is also growing. It is obvious that I have eaten too much!"

Kun smiled and kissed the tip of Xiaoxiao's nose: "You have to eat more to gain more flesh and be taller like Jing." Although Brother Kun felt that it didn't matter whether he was tall or not, he was comfortable to hug like this now.But he knew that Xiaoxiao was very concerned about the issue of height.That's right, when he first came here, the little guy's size was indeed a bit miserable, but in fact he has grown a lot in the past two years.

"Kun, you said we will go there in mid-June, what should we do if there is a problem with everyone's land and we can't find it?" In fact, it means that there are no sprouts or weeds grow.It’s fine to replant without germination, but not everyone can recognize weeds clearly.Fortunately, he asked everyone to plant the seeds on the ridge this year, so that it is easier to distinguish.

"Uncle Qiong didn't weed with you last year. He knows him. It's okay. It's only a dozen or 20 days at most. We can come back later." In fact, the main thing is to build a kang, as for making meat jerky The ones can be prepared first with the seasoning, I believe Elder Bai will never let them live in a tent.

In fact, before they left, the whole village had already carried out a large-scale weeding work.The weeds in Ding Xiao's field are much easier to control, but the land of the big guys in the village is full of tricks.Because the main crop of most people is pearl fruit.Others, such as pumpkin beard sticks, etc., are not needed by everyone, so compared to Ding Xiao who planted so much last year, there are fewer types and weeds are easier to identify.

Father He vowed not to follow his son and nephew to Hushen City. It is hard to be away from his partner for so long. Anyway, they have nearly ten acres of land together with Xiaoxiao. He has to stay at home to help Joan take care of the land and the livestock of the two families. .

Before Ding Xiao left, he made two small tanks of cumin barbecue sauce for Dad and Dad. Of course, this is the entire amount used this year.The next time I want to eat cumin, I have to wait for the autumn harvest.But Joan's father planted an entire acre of land in his own land, and Xiaoxiao also planted half an acre here.They are neither short of food nor short of meat, this charming taste is absolutely indispensable.

With the last small packet of cumin powder on his back, Ding Xiao carried his familiar pot on his back, concealed his dagger, and followed a group of males on the journey to Tiger God City.

Feng, Yiquan and Min are the "captains" of the team, and Kun himself leads six people into a team.Counting Xiaoxiao, there are a total of 29 people, which can be regarded as mighty.

In fact, even without Ding Xiao, the half-orc cub, it is impossible for these males to rush to Hushen City for three days without eating or drinking, as Kun said. This is not a major event for the survival of the tribe.

Aomori in June is already full of vitality.Spreading green and occasionally visible assorted fruit.Before leaving home, Ding Xiao still felt that it was very troublesome, and he didn't have time to collect plums this year.But once he entered the forest, Ding Xiao felt in a very good mood.After eating pickled and dried vegetables all winter, he finally had fresh tender vegetables to eat. During the five days on the road, he had to make a big bowl of wild vegetables for himself and Kun almost every day.As for the fact that other males only like to eat meat, he has nothing to do with it. Fortunately, under the influence of Luxi, Feng has a very high acceptance of green plants.So Ding Xiao felt that the skins of his own Kun and his good friend Jiafeng were much better than those of those uncles and elder brothers!Of course the males never cared about that...

I don't know if it's because the distance is not too far, or because the latitude doesn't change much (--), Ding Xiao didn't find any food that he hadn't seen along the way.It's just that the distribution of plants in different footholds is different from other places, which makes Ding Xiao a little disappointed, but what Kun said makes sense.They chose the shortest road. In fact, the plants in every woodland and every mountain area are different. If you want to find something new, you have a lot of opportunities.

At noon on the fifth day, a group of 29 people arrived outside Tiger God City.

Ding Xiao finally found something new in the safe zone of Tiger God City, er... To be precise, it wasn't new to him, but for Tianhe Village, at least he didn't find it in the safe zone he was familiar with.This is a legume plant that is a cross between common carob and lentils.But it is not a climbing vine, but a low shrub growing on it.The current fruit is relatively small, only as long as his finger, but seeing the dried bean pods of the previous year on the ground, Ding Xiao can conclude that this thing has grown at least as long as Kun's palm.

Everyone has gotten used to Ding Xiao picking flowers and plants on the ground when he is free. Although it doesn't taste like meat, it tastes pretty good most of the time.Only Kun cares about Xiaoxiao's collection today.Because this kind of croissant has no taste and is very fishy, ​​few people will eat it. "Smile, are the croissants delicious too?"

Ding Xiao answered while picking it: "Who knows! I smell very similar to the beans in my hometown. I will try it at night. Fortunately, I brought a small jar of miso. How about this, find a place to live at night, and I will give it to you." Make bean curd pancakes! The specialty of my hometown!" Thinking of this, Ding Xiao immediately smacked his mouth twice.It’s been a long time since I’ve tasted the taste of my hometown. Even if my miso is not very successful, that’s it. Next year will definitely be better!

In Ding Xiao's impression, Hushen City should have the appearance of a town with a tall city wall and at least two small buildings inside.But in fact, apart from the fact that the houses of the villagers are closer together, there is no wall around the village.But there is a moat outside Tiger God City, and the residential area of ​​the main city is in the center surrounded by the moat.The sub-city is also very large, and it is divided into left and right sides, and is also surrounded by a man-made moat, but it cannot be seen from Ding Xiao's current angle.

There is really a gate at the entrance of the main city, but it is just two stone pillars erected on both sides of the bridge head. There is a big tree trunk on the pillar, and the three characters of Tiger God City are engraved on the trunk, which feels a bit weird.At least Ding Xiao felt a little embarrassed, not particularly stylish.

Because Elder Bai had reminded him a long time ago, when the guards heard that it was someone from Tianhe Village, they quickly took him to the tribe.It is also the place where the patriarch and elders work on weekdays, although it is also used as a guest room when guests come.

It was Elder Bai and another elder Shi who greeted Kun and the others.As for the place to stay, although it is impossible for them to set up tents, it is impossible for them all to live in the tribe.It's not a grade factor, but because...they can't fit in.

Of course, Elder Bai already knew the number of people coming when he and his partner went to Tianhe Village to get the sauce.So a place to stay has already been arranged.

Ten people can live in the tribe.The remaining four lived in their own homes, and each received two in the "dormitory" of Yinghelin and three other teenagers from Tianhe Village.The other five people were arranged in the home of Elder Shi and another Elder Shu.Although they were scattered, this would ensure that everyone except Ding Xiao and Kun would have a room.

Ding Xiao actually prefers to set up a tent in the safe zone. No matter whether he lives in the clan tribe or Elder Bai's house, he always feels unable to stretch his arms and legs.But Elder Bai's partner, Bai Yue, obviously liked Ding Xiao very much, and before Elder Bai could speak, he had already pulled Xiaoxiao home.It made Kun feel lucky to see Bai Yue holding the hand of his Xiaoxiao's arm. If it wasn't for Elder Bai's partner, a male married to a male, he would definitely "discuss" with Bai Yue! (You are so petty!)

The lodging is arranged, and the most important thing is coming.That is to see the patriarch.

The patriarch is personally supervising the construction of several new wooden sheds at the market in the safety zone today. He heard the report from the patrol that all the people who taught them how to build a kang in Tianhe Village have come, so he immediately handed over the matter to two elders from two foreign countries. , and returned to the main city with the chief priests.

In the beast world, the patriarch is not an invisible existence.Hunting has to be the same as that of ordinary villagers, and there is no war between tribes, and the villages are relatively harmonious. As the patriarch, he usually takes care of trivial matters in the city. Of course, regarding the development and trends of each village, He knew it all too well.Every year, he would go to various villages for a walk twice, of course, he might not show up, "peeping" such a shameless thing, and occasionally he would do it once or twice when he had nothing to do.

So all the people from Tianhe Village, except Ding Xiao, have met the patriarch.Although the patriarch certainly couldn't remember their names, he definitely remembered Min and Kun.As for Ding Xiao, when he heard that he was going to see the patriarch, he immediately became nervous.Seeing this, Kun smiled and touched the top of his partner's head, and comforted him: "I'll just say it. The patriarch is not fierce."
