Searching for food through the beast world

Rival?Very complicated!

The "date" between Muwa and cub Jing is absolutely impossible to be "love and talk" in the usual sense.The two people took the search for beautiful stones as the fundamental standard, followed the correct route of digging for food, and in the end they really found something delicious.It was a brood of long-tailed chickens that had just hatched. There were six of them in total, and each one was about the same size as an ordinary pheasant. With so many chickens, it could still satisfy the appetite of two or three half-orc cubs.

The two tied the six long-tailed chickens back to the village with grass vines, and went straight to Ding Xiao's house.If you have good things, you must share them with your good friends. Of course, cooking with a smile is more delicious.Hahaha.

Ding Xiao saw the six long-tailed chickens that were put on the ground, and found that these chickens were still alive, so he was immediately moved. "Where did you get them?"

Jing replied: "Just behind the Bingdong Mountain, they were digging around in a mass of withered grass, and we discovered it. How about it, are these six enough for us to eat?"

Of course it would be fine if there were only the three orcs, but it would be more difficult to add shingles.And how difficult it is to catch live chickens. Thinking of Kun telling himself that the long-tailed chickens will grow to about 1.5 meters or six, he really wants to try to raise them.Anyway, it is said that this long-tailed chicken is an omnivorous bird, so it should be easier to feed, right?It doesn't have to be raised until an adult to eat. "Well, how about we raise these six long-tailed chickens?"

Jing didn't understand: "Raise it? What do you mean?"

Ding Xiao answered: "They are locked up, and we feed them every day, and then they will grow up day by day. Kun said that long-tailed chickens grow very fast." The key is that the reproductive rate is high.Although he thinks that in winter, maybe these birds will stop breeding?It's really not good to say something about this different world.

Although Jing understood, he expressed his displeasure at the fact that he couldn't eat it immediately when it reached his mouth. "Why are you raising them? You have to feed them. It's a hassle. It would be nice to eat them."

Luxi said: "You just put food first. Xiaoxiao means to feed them for a few more days, and then eat them when they are older, so that we can eat a lot more meat. Right?"

Ding Xiao nodded immediately: "Yes. That's what I mean. Muwa, do you know how long it takes for a long-tailed chicken to grow?"

Muwa tried his best to recall it. Although he hadn't paid attention to this thing, he still had an impression after being in the forest for a long time. "They will grow in about 30 days."

Ding Xiao patted Jing on the shoulder: "Look. They can grow so big in 30 days. If they are all removed now, I'm afraid the wooden tiles won't be enough to eat. Which one is worthwhile?"

Jing thought for a while: "Okay then. It seems that it is more appropriate to raise and eat."

The first breeding behavior in Tianhe Village was settled in this way.Ding Xiao was still very happy. He estimated that the six chickens would be eaten in a month, which would be enough for four or five of their families to make a meal.Maybe you can even harvest a few eggs as an additional product.Anyway, "feed" is not difficult, but two months later it will be a serious winter. Thinking about having fresh chicken to eat, it must be much better than bacon.What's more, it is safer and easier than letting Dad and Kun go hunting deep in the forest.

That afternoon, before Joan came back from hunting, the four separated a chicken coop in Ding Xiao's shed.However, according to Ding Xiao's estimate, when these few grow up, they will have to be raised in an empty barn. Now this is definitely a temporary residence.Fortunately, the family dug a vegetable cellar and vacated two warehouses.

When Joan came back, he was a little confused by the actions of these children, but after Ding Xiao's all-round and three-dimensional speech explanation, he immediately realized the benefits of this "breeding".He also said that during the recent hunting, he will try his best to catch them alive. After all, before the first winter snow, there will still be some prey that can be caught in the safe area.Just like this kind of animal cubs that are destined not to grow up in the wild when they hatch without watching their eggs.

Although he didn't eat the long-tailed chicken, the big guy still got a taste of Ding Xiao's cooking skills.

When Ding Xiao checked the things he collected and dried before going to the market, he turned out the bag of tea fruit.After drying, the tea fruit is more fragrant than when it is fresh. Of course, the dried fruit must be more bitter due to the evaporation of water.So Ding Xiao grabbed a small handful of dried tea fruits and took out ten of them to make "tea" for drinking. The other ones were ground into powder with a stone mill, mixed with pearl fruit flour, and kneaded into dough.

The dough was divided into small pieces, and then pressed into round cakes by Ding Xiao.Put the powdered sugar mixed with flour in the center of the small dough, and finally wrap the sugar around it, and knead the dough again with both hands.

Because the dough is mixed with tea fruit powder, the kneaded dough is light green, and each small ball looks quite beautiful.Finally, Ding Xiao brushed a little lard on the pottery dish and put it in a large pot for steaming.After SAIC waited for 10 minutes, the chaguo balls were ready.But Ding Xiao reflected on it later, such a big clay pot is really not suitable for steaming things, he still needs to find Uncle Huadi to order a big pottery steamer.Let's wait until next year's spring flowers come.For the next batch, I might as well just cook it as glutinous rice balls. Steaming is really laborious, and I definitely had a brain twitch just now.

The steamed tea fruit is greener than when the dough is made. In this season, it is difficult to see tender green things here in Tianhe Village, so these small tea fruit balls are really attractive. .

Everyone couldn't wait for Ding Xiao to share the food, but when he raised the wooden spoons in front of him, Xiaoxiao suddenly felt a lot of pressure.Suddenly thinking of Kun's behavior of often opening his mouth to "feed" himself, he smiled slightly, but then sighed in his heart.It will take several days to come back.

Together with He Adie who came back from hunting, six people and six tea fruit balls were put into their mouths respectively.The first person to exclaim must be Jing. "This is so delicious! It's a bit bitter on the outside, but it's sweet on the inside." It's obvious that eating so much sugar in one bite would make you panic, but this one won't at all.

Others expressed their delicious mood, but it is obvious that the [-] on this plate are not enough to eat at all.So Ding Xiao boiled the water again, and Qiong, Luxi and Jingdu joined the team of wrapping sugar into the dough.

Eating tea fruit balls and drinking tea boiled by tea fruit.Although the fragrant tea is bitter, it will taste sweet after swallowing it, and paired with soft and sweet tea fruit balls, this afternoon tea is well-deserved.

Although not as hungry as eating meat, after eating this kind of thoughtful snack, it will make people feel happy.Wang Jing drank bowl after bowl of tea while Muwa secretly asked Ding Xiao what the tea fruit looked like.After learning that this is the bitter fruit that they didn't even look at before, he immediately felt that what Jing said was right, Xiaoxiao is a magical person.Whatever is edible or inedible, delicious or not, will become an attractive delicacy in his hands.Hmm, is that bitter fruit called tea fruit?good!Starting tomorrow, every time you hunt, you have to work hard to find it. Anyway, Ding Xiao said it's the same!

Because of He and Qiong's strong support, Ding Xiao went to the safety zone between the upper village and the lower village the next day while being the oversized light bulb of two couples of lovers.

Because the ice cave where the village stores winter food is between the upper village and the lower village, there is a place behind the hill that is relatively warmer than other safe areas.The temperature contrast between the ice cave in the cave at the bottom of the mountain and the temperature on the mountain is relatively large. It may also be because the water at the bottom of the mountain is relatively sufficient, so the plants near here have always been the slowest to wither and turn yellow.

Ding Xiao had picked up stones with Jing and Lvxi before. At that time, he didn't have the eyes of the sky, so he only knew what he knew about the nearby plants.Come again now, and sure enough, he found some things that he hadn't noticed before, but there were still not many to eat.

In addition, common wild vegetables such as amaranth, mother-in-law diced, bitter herbs, etc. are not edible now.Even if there are occasional green leaves, they all have withered yellow curls.

But the mustard heads of this world are ready to be picked and eaten.After Ding Xiao found the first one, he immediately let him dig it out.

The mustard head, which was the size of a jelly root, was just as Ding Xiao expected, and it was indeed a little different from what he had seen in his previous life.There are very few roots on the bluish-white skin, and you can feel the moisture and brittleness inside with your fingernails.Although the mustard leaves on the top have turned yellow and become old and are not suitable for consumption, it is still possible to pickle pickles.Of course, this mustard head is a good product for pickling pickles, and it is quite good to take it back to stir-fry meat.Ding Xiao liked to eat this kind of pickles, commonly known as mustard lumps, very much in his previous life.

Seeing that Ding Xiao dug another big root from the ground, the four people around immediately surrounded him.Jing picked up a rather heavy mustard head and sniffed it, then immediately put it down and rubbed his nose: "It smells so bad."

Indeed, raw mustard heads have a pungent smell, and Ding Xiao also smelled them, and the taste is not a problem, so that they will have a special fragrance after pickling. "This will be delicious after processing. I didn't let you eat it raw. Ah, there are a few more over there." After speaking, he quickly stood up and took the bone shovel that He specially made for Ding Xiao to dig "soil" Start digging.

Seeing Ding Xiao's excited face, the remaining four people also automatically and consciously joined the camp that was looking for the excavation.As a result, it didn't take much longer, and they made it look like the surface of the moon within a radius of a hundred or so meters.It can be seen how rich the harvest is.

This trip not only allowed Ding Xiao to discover mustard heads, but also picked a lot of dried tea fruits on the plants.It seems that this kind of fruit is not liked by birds and various rats, and the amount left on each plant is quite considerable.Only in the area beside the mountain, none of them picked a small bag.Although it may not sound like much, the size of the tea fruit is very small.

Bringing all the edible food, the five people just wanted to go back to the village to "split the spoils" when four people walked up to them, two females, one half-orc and a male who seemed to be an adult.

Ding Xiao only knew one of these four people, and that was Cai who kicked him once and almost disfigured him.In fact, Ding Xiao was a little surprised to see this person unexpectedly.But after calculation, it was indeed time for him to leave the "prison".

Jing also saw those four people and immediately "hummed".Then he gave Cai a hard look, and subconsciously stood in front of Ding Xiao.It was because he didn't pay attention before, now he won't let this bad guy bully Xiaoxiao again!

Ding Xiao was very moved by his friend's protection, but he didn't actually think that the other party would do anything to him.Besides, I didn't take precautions that time before, and I didn't think of it at all.It's definitely safer now face to face.The key is that no matter how heartless you are, you can't just come out and want to go back and be locked up soon after, right?Unless he loves that feeling to death, and wants to be alone and earnestly comprehend loneliness like snow, glamorous and noble... (--b)

At this time, Brother Muwa's spirit of not fearing death is still very useful.To break the awkward atmosphere or something, how could there be no such a person. "Yiquan, you didn't follow the patrol today?"

The male opposite scratched his head embarrassingly: "I'm tomorrow. What did you find?"

Jing akimbo: "Wooden tiles!"

Brother Muwa hurriedly shut up. "Hehe, dig some wild vegetables. Let's play, we are going back to the village."

Yiquan looked awkward, but he wasn't stupid either. Seeing Ding Xiaozai think about what Cai had done before, he didn't find Jing's attitude strange. "Then let's go."

Just when the "two teams" were about to pass by.The female on Yiquan's right stopped Ding Xiao.

Ding Xiao's familiarity with the females in the village is quite average.Apart from a few aunts and priests, when he was young, he already knew Qin from his nearest neighbor, and sister Lian Zhi, who was also one of his friends.So for this person who stopped him, he really didn't remember the face, and naturally he didn't know who it was. "Call me? Are you okay?"

"I don't think you know me. My name is Shu He, and I'm Cai's cousin. Although the previous incident was an accident and Cai was punished, I still want to apologize to you again on his behalf. I hope you can forgive him, Let's all be friends from now on." After she finished speaking, she looked at Ding Xiao with a smile, as if I was waiting for you to nod.

Ding Xiao had heard the name "Shu He" before.This is the character that Jing and Luxi reminded themselves when they instilled in themselves who are their most powerful "rivals in love".However, this is really the first time we meet.According to my father, this Shu He is quite gentle and beautiful, and it seems to be okay now.It was the fact that her mother was Yang that made Ding Xiao feel resentful.After all, her mother once snatched her father from her father, but after failing, she still regarded her father as disliked for so many years.Now I also look like her rival in love, it seems that this "friendship" is quite complicated!

Before Ding Xiao could speak, Luxi tugged on Ding Xiao's sleeve and whispered something in his ear. "It's manageable."

But Jing obviously didn't think so: "Why are you apologizing? Could this be your idea? He's such an adult but he's standing by the side!"

Shu He's face turned ugly because of Jing's words.She turned her head and glanced at Cai, but said nothing.After seeing Shu He's eyes, Cai immediately bowed to Ding Xiao: "I'm sorry for the previous facts, I hope you don't hate me anymore."

Ding Xiao had ignored this matter to the back of his mind, and there was no such thing as forgiveness or non-forgiveness for him.He has always known that different ways do not conspire with each other, it is not that people along the way must come together, either stepping on each other's feet or being suspicious of each other.Why bother.He doesn't believe in the fact that everyone in the world is a brother. There are people who don't like it. When he is hated by others, he also hates others. This is fair.So Cai's apology was of no importance to him at all.

But it's okay to give some face or something, especially if this Shu He said before, if she bites her to death and doesn't "forgive", who knows if her grandma will make use of it or something.Alas, rivals in love are really troublesome. This guy Kun obviously doesn't talk that much to others, but he can still seduce many people with his face paralyzed. What a god! ! !

"Didn't you say it was an accident before? It's good to have a clear conscience. I'm fine anyway, and I didn't blame you at all. And I also want to thank you for letting me know Kun under such circumstances." After finishing speaking After that, Xiaoxiao complained in her heart: I am not an idiot, if you apologize, I will be happy to be your life-and-death friend!And this Shu He, who made Cai stand up and apologize again with just one glance, even if he really had good intentions, how much could there be?Now I really can think about it, why did this Cai kick himself at that time!
