Searching for food through the beast world

New App Mode for Animal Ears

Since Kun is going to do a major event related to the safety of the village, Ding Xiao, who is a prospective unmarried partner, naturally has to think about preparing dry food for his big tiger.After all, this time is winter. After the previous two snowfalls, the snow in the forest has hardly melted, so food is far less easy to find than in the winter market.This time, it’s impossible not to bring enough dry food every day, let the male go hungry to hunt and kill wild animals...it’s inhumane to think about it.

Of course, these [-] male basic foods are all taken from the ice cave. After all, this is for the people, and they must not pay too much out of their own pockets for business trips.Ding Xiao also secretly asked Kun how the prey would be distributed after he hunted the jackals.Kun replied that the meat is usually divided equally, while the animal skins are owned by whoever catches them, and those caught collectively are negotiated among themselves.Anyway, the skin of the jackal is not the best necessity for wearing cold in winter and hot in summer.Otherwise, how could Kun say to let Xiaoxiao be his ear. (So ​​everyone misunderstood Brother Kun!)

Ding Xiao spent almost the whole day preparing dry food for Kun that he could carry with him.

It is necessary to bake flatbread, and this time, corn flour and pearl fruit powder are put together to make a dough for the second kneading surface.Ding Xiao's original intention was to make the pearl fruit powder have the sweetness of corn flour, and in his previous life, he had a good impression of Erhe noodles cakes, but after putting these two flours together, it turned out to be extra strong and tastes very good sweet.Xiaoxiao took a bite, thinking that it must be more delicious to make noodles with this!

In addition to bread, of course there must be meat.After eating the beef strips made by Xiaoxiao in the morning, Kun immediately fell in love with the taste.Seeing that Kun liked it so much, Ding Xiao simply made half of Kun's meat into jerky, which is not only easy to carry, but also easy to match with cakes after adding flavor. When the time comes, use the leftover bacon to cook Drinking soup is sure to be simple and convenient.Of course, the cured bacon made by Xiaoxiao must have added a lot of spices, and the taste must be different.

In addition to the cured meat, the remaining third is directly frozen meat, which can be roasted and eaten at that time.So the seasoning kun for the barbecue is also packed in two bamboo tubes.

Ding Xiao also brought Kun two bamboo tubes of fruit wine, and a bag of dried sweet potatoes and dried yams.The former is for dry food and can be used as dry food, while the latter is for him to make soup with meat.

In short, Ding Xiao thought about all the things he could bring, which made Kun's "luggage" much better than that of others, which seemed a bit eye-catching.But Brother Kun himself looked extremely proud, and his face was full of embarrassment like "your partner is not as good as mine".This time, Xiaoxiao secretly gave Kun a lighter. He felt that in the snow, the sparks of the flint must not be as good as the sparks of the lighter.In fact, if metals such as copper and iron can be found, it can solve the most primitive way of striking fire directly with flints.The "Wilderness Survival Handbook" described how to use flint sticks and metals to start fire.

After sending Kun away, Ding Xiao seemed to suddenly lose a lot of fun. He sat in the shed all morning with a stove next to him to keep warm, watching the pheasants with their feathers clipped outside pecking in the yard. It seemed extremely boring to come and peck.Of course, if you ignore the slightly red and swollen lips, everything looks serious.

Joan handed over a bowl of water soaked in lemongrass. "Don't worry, Kun is very powerful, even your father is no match for him."

After receiving the bowl, the water vapor brought out the fragrance of lemongrass, Ding Xiao felt much more refreshed. "I'm not worried that they are too dangerous, but someone will always be injured, right? In fact, with the strength of a male, if you use a bow and arrow, you should be able to kill wild beasts without getting close after you practice correctly." Because the beast The vast majority of orcs in the world are illiterate, so trapping these things will hurt innocent people if one is not careful.Therefore, he felt that long-distance attack tools should be safer.And for bows and arrows, half-orcs can also use them. For example, when Dad taught them to hunt the black hazel beast, they had to wait for the black hazel beast to fall from the tree before catching it. If there was an arrow, the battle would be settled with one arrow.

Joan sat next to her son and asked curiously, "A bow and arrow? What is that?"

Ding Xiao turned his head and took the paper leaf and charcoal sticks on the table.While drawing, he explained: "That's it. Both the bow string and the bow body must have toughness. The bow string must have good toughness and strength, so that the arrows shot can be powerful. In addition to the toughness, the bow body must be absolutely strong. As for the arrow, it looks like this. There are feathers at the back to control the direction, and the arrow is in the front. We can use stones or animal bones to make them very sharp. As long as the bow and arrow are made strong and durable, if the strength of the male shoots the arrow like a beast head, one arrow can kill the beast." Of course, this is just Ding Xiao's beautiful idea.He knows that males have their own way of hunting, from primitive beast genes to flexible beast-like hunting skills. In fact, the usual hunting is food, and males don't need bows and arrows.After all, physical function and hunting skills are the essence of males.What's more, what he provided is just an idea, whether it can be realized or not depends on everyone's wisdom.

In fact, Ding Xiao has seen it on TV before. In the Stone Age, primitive people knew how to make and use bows and arrows.It is estimated that no one here knows, it must be because the orc male is very powerful in front of most beasts.Otherwise, the wisdom of the orcs I have come into contact with, whether they are male or female or half-orcs, there are many smart people.Sure enough, there is a need for development...

After listening to Xiaoxiao's explanation, and seeing the pattern on the leaf paper, Joan immediately became excited: "This sounds very suitable for half-orcs! With this thing, it should be able to hunt some bigger prey."

Ding Xiao nodded: "It should be like this? But even if you can make a bow and arrow, you have to practice. It doesn't mean that you can shoot wherever you shoot. In my hometown, there are people who specialize in archery competitions, who can shoot accurately." If If it can really be done, it seems that the people of the tribe will definitely have one more entertainment activity.

The "creativity" of bows and arrows made Joan very excited, so after cooking for her son at noon, she took the bows and arrows painted by Xiaoxiao and went to congratulate her with the lunch she had prepared.

Alone at home, Ding Xiao is completely bored.So I cleaned up some food leftovers and used them to feed chickens, pigs, and rabbits.Now there is one more injured curly sheep in his house. Fortunately, this sheep also eats the stick in the middle of the long-bearded stick, so he doesn't have to worry about what to feed the sheep.Ding Xiao felt that it was a good thing that there were only two long-tailed chickens left, otherwise there would be a serious shortage of feed.It seems that a long-tailed chicken will still have to be killed in a few days. This thing can be eaten more than a pig. No wonder it can grow so big, it is really not suitable for raising in winter!

Extinguished the stove in the shed.Ding Xiao tiptoed back to his room and closed the door. He immediately felt much warmer and more at ease.

After lighting the candles, he planned to climb on the bed and draw two pictures, firstly to practice his hand feeling, and secondly to design his and Kun's future home.However, when he was flipping through the uncut leaf paper, he found the half-made horn comb... the prototype.

"It seems that there is still something to be done." Mumbling in his mouth, Ding Xiao took out his saber and decided to continue to finish it.At least I have to finish this one first, I promised Kun for so long, I actually forgot about this thing.But it’s okay, when Kun comes back this time, as a reward, I will give him a comb to groom~!

So the latch is a good thing.If there is no door, Ding Xiao's omnipotent saber will be discovered by Jing Lexi.

Hearing the knock on the door, Ding Xiao hurriedly put away the unfinished horn comb and saber, and opened the door with one leg. "Jing, your voice is really getting louder."

Jing's face was terrified today. After entering Xiaoxiao's room, he immediately ran to the bed and sat down. "Didn't you say that you can only have a loud voice if you have confidence? It proves that I have a lot of confidence!"

Ding Xiao curled his lips: "I don't see how much you remember the useful words." After speaking, he glanced at the animal skin bag in Jing's hand and asked, "What did you take? It's bulging?"

Jing immediately grinned, full of complacency. "This is a good thing I thought of! Look!" As he spoke, he took out a furry thing from the animal skin bag.

Ding Xiao is very familiar with this thing, it is an ear bag, a very common thing to keep ears warm in the northern winter. "Earbags? What did you think of?"

"Ear bag? That's a good name! It looks like a bag on the ear, not bad! Speaking of this ear bag, of course I thought of it. Didn't Muwa also go to the roundup team today? I last night I took the animal ears you made for me when I couldn’t sleep, and then I rubbed the animal ears against my own ears. I felt quite comfortable, and it would definitely keep me warm. I got up this morning and sent people away, so I fiddled with this Yes. Hehe, am I particularly smart?" After speaking, Jing looked at Ding Xiao in the attitude of "I'm waiting for you to praise me".

Jing naturally needs praise.Ding Xiao even felt that his head must be thinking about eating, but he thought of fake animal ears but not earbags! "Jing is very smart. Otherwise, how could Muwa be sought out by so many people~!" But some people still can't let him get too scared.

Luxi laughed loudly: "That's right. I didn't know before that there are so many crushes in Beijing!"

The reason for this topic is that after the winter, there were four adult teenage males looking for shingles to "discuss".Originally, it was normal to have nothing to do in winter, but Muwa later found out that these four guys were more ruthless than others, and they appeared in the vicinity several times when they were "dating" with Jing.Then the second male is also very sensitive to this kind of thing.So he knew what the males were up to.

Of course, it is impossible to hide this matter from Jing, and Jing is the kind of person who will talk to good friends about something, so he gave Ding Xiao and Luxi a chance to "make fun of".But Jing didn't care so much: "What's the matter! Has no one ever talked to Feng? Let me tell you, Xiaoxiao, if it wasn't that Kun made an appointment with you too early, or that Kun was too powerful, he didn't even know How many times have you been beaten!"

Ding Xiao is really glad that Kun's appearance and mutual understanding are connected.Otherwise, if several people "robbed" the dry food that had no owner, he would get goose bumps just thinking about that scene.To be honest, let him imagine that the person around him is not Kun but someone else... He really has the mood of dying! "Yes, yes, you are right. Let me see if your earbags are strong."

The three of them were eating dried sweet potatoes while studying how the earbag could look better. Ding Xiao suddenly slapped his thigh. "I'm stupid, I want to make a hat!" In fact, what Ding Xiao dislikes the most is wearing a hat. He is the kind of person who will feel panicked if there is one more thing on his body besides the necessary clothes.For example, in the cold winter of his previous life, hats and gloves were far away from him. At best, he wore a hoodie and a hat on a down jacket when it was snowing when the wind was strong.

Thinking of the hoodie, Ding Xiao patted his thigh again: "There is also a cloak!!"

As a result, these two strokes startled Jing and Lvxi.Luxi quickly grabbed Ding Xiao's wrist: "What are you doing? If you slap your thigh, you slap the other side, okay? That side's feet aren't good yet!"

Ding Xiao laughed "hehe" and said, "I think of two things from my hometown. The two of you help me to the warehouse, and I'll find two skins to make hats for you!"

Although the black hazel beast looks ugly, not everyone likes to eat meat, but its fur is very good, fluffy and soft, and has good heat insulation. In addition, Ding Xiao himself also likes the smell of this small beast, so in his barn There are a lot of black hazel hides.

Here, the most important thing to make things is convenience and quickness, so Ding Xiao’s hat is also quite simple to cut. After measuring the distance from the forehead to the top of the head, the distance from the top of the head to the back of the head, and the circumference of the head, Ding Xiao cut two rectangles respectively. hide, and then trim the side to be sewn into an arc.I am used to using long and hard bone needles, and the black hazel hide is slightly elastic, and the cut skin itself is very soft, so the sewing speed is very fast.After a while, a black and shiny leather "pocket" was sewn up.

Ding Xiao turned the leather "pocket" upside down, and then put it on Jing's head. The arc trimmed before just fit Jing's head shape, that is, the part in front of the forehead was raised up.Xiaoxiao took the charcoal sticks and drew the raised length on the inner skin, then took it off, and used a shellfish knife to cut a [-]-degree triangular opening on the raised part.Then sew up the opening, and there will be no gaps when you wear it again.But in this way, the forehead part will inevitably have friction. Ding Xiao thinks that this problem will be solved when the next hat is cut, as long as it is processed on the sewing side.

It's just like this now, after Jing puts it on, the earlobes are still exposed, and if he wears earbags, the bamboo headband that Jing made must not be big enough, so he might as well sew two fur balls on the ears.Although he felt that the appearance of a big old man was a bit shocking, Ke Jing's small appearance, and the identity of a half-orc cub... shouldn't be too much.Anyway, he never planned to bring it himself.

Seeing Xiaoxiao take off the hat on her head, and then make two fist-sized fur balls and sew it on, Jing and Luxi are very curious: "What is this?"

Ding Xiao replied: "The ones that replaced your earbags. You put them on just now, but they didn't cover your ears completely. Now it's good. Go outside and try it!"

The two of them opened the door excitedly and hopped into the yard, and came back even more excitedly after a while.

"This is very warm!!! It's much more beautiful than the animal skin we used to wrap!" After finishing speaking, Luxi grabbed her friend's shoulders, "Smile, I want one with ears on it! Is it also possible?"

Although Xiaoxiao couldn't understand where Luxi's obsession with ears came from, could it be that Feng also liked such "interesting" things?Thinking of Kun's virtue after he put on the animal ears, he shuddered. "Yes. If it's a female, you can also sew tweed made of animal skin or linen." Thinking about how cute Miaomiao is wearing a furry animal ear hat!And Lian Zhimei's animal skin hat with lotus leaf lace... Uh... it must be more fashionable, right?The amount of help.

But he is very interested in what Luxi said about "wrapping an animal skin". "Then how did you wrap animal skins before?"

Jing picked up an animal skin on the bed, and skillfully wrapped it around his head. "Then tie it up with grass vines. But it's easy to fall if the wind is too strong, and it can't cover the ears. Anyway, except for very small cubs and pregnant females, it doesn't matter to others. We are very happy Cold resistant."

Ding Xiao looked at the wild "turban" on Jing's head, and couldn't help feeling the cleverness of the orcs. In fact, this is not bad, it is very close to the hat, and it doesn't need to be cut first and then sewed by himself. The key Even when you don’t need it, it’s still a whole piece of animal skin, and you can reuse it however you want.It's no wonder that I haven't seen anyone carrying something on their head. It turns out that few people will use it.Fortunately, the hats I made had to be more beautiful and stronger, and the Mavericks didn't lack animal skins, otherwise it would have been unnecessary.
