After entering the bird tribe, I want to farm
Chapter 121 Nuts
There were five and a half crocodiles piled up on the small hill of Bai Wu's house. Ya and the others came to help, sharpened their knives, carefully peeled off the crocodile skin, and then cut out the crocodile meat.
Everyone was busy, making this small hill extremely lively.
Bai Wu couldn't help, so he simply found out his own big stone pot, took out other spices, fried the spices with animal oil, added water, and boiled a big pot of stewed soup.
After the crocodile meat is slightly blanched, put it in the stewed soup and stew it slowly over low heat.
Wait until the stewed soup boils, then move it into a large stone pot, and continue to stew slowly over low heat.
The meat marinated in the stone pot is different from the iron pot, and has a special flavor.
After a while, this small mountain was filled with the smell of braised pork.
Nanfeng and Baixue frantically wagged their fluffy tails, weaving through the crowd, begging for food and petting.
They ate countless pieces of meat, but they still smelled the stewed meat and felt hungry.
Bai Wu specially boiled the dipping sauce in an iron pot, cleaned the firepit, and started roasting the marinated crocodile meat.
Some of these crocodile meats are grilled alone, and some are grilled with vegetables. All the grilled meats are brushed with oil and sauce, which is different from the dry wood grilled meat that is grilled every day in the tribe.
The strong aroma makes the stomach twitch with hunger.
While roasting Bai Wu, he greeted everyone to eat meat.
The orcs and sub-orcs who came to help were not particular about it, and their hands were still stained with blood, so they picked up sticks and ate them in big mouthfuls.
While handling the crocodiles, everyone ate meat and sang songs.
A bonfire crackled nearby.
From time to time, the two big wolves echoed "Wow".
After coaxing the two big wolves, Bai Wu and Nan Yao brought braised meat and barbecue to feed the two little porpoises.
The two little porpoises were the heroes, and Bai Wu brought them a lot of meat.
The little porpoise never refuses anyone who comes, and hiccups until he eats it.
After they were full, the two little dolphins were still circling in the river water under their feet, spraying water with their noses to play with Bai Wu and the others.
Baiwu's house hadn't been this lively for a long time, Chuan and Mo were extremely happy, and even made tea and sour juice to relieve everyone's boredom.
Everyone kept arguing at their house until midnight before packing up and going home one after another.
When Bai Wu got up the next day, he touched the ashes and found that the ashes hadn't cooled down yet.
He couldn't help shaking his head and laughing.
All the crocodile meat has been processed, and now it is pressed in a large vat and marinated with salt, which has been marinated for five large vats.
Bai Wu took out the crocodile meat with a basket on his back, threaded it with a rope, and hung it on a tree branch to dry.
These crocodile meats are marinated in the sun and night, and after repeated several times, they will not go bad.
Bai Wu's house had a lot of crocodile meat. He carried a basket on his back and went down the mountain road to dry it for half a mile.
When he returned after drying the crocodile meat, Chuan and Mo just flew back from the outside.
Bai Wu was a little surprised, "Yafu, why did you get up so early?"
Chuan Dao: "It's already much later than usual."
"I went to bed late last night."
"It's okay, I can't sleep even if I lie down. We went to pick up two baskets of duck eggs and came back. There are still a lot of crabs in the forest, so we have to go again."
The ducks in Baiwu’s family live very comfortably in the crab forest, eating all kinds of small flowers and grasses, small fish, shrimps and small crabs, each one is fatter than the other, and the eggs it lays are also bigger, and there are a lot of them inside. Double yolk eggs.
They go to pick up duck eggs every few days. They have been busy for a while and haven't gone for several days.
Bai Wu said: "Why don't we go after dinner? There are still a lot of braised crocodile and grilled crocodile from yesterday. I can simply fry two dishes and eat."
Chuan rubbed his stomach, "Last night I slept too late, the meat I ate hasn't been digested much, so I'll eat when I come back. Eat first if you're hungry."
"That's still waiting for you to come back to eat together. I will deal with these duck eggs first."
The ducks in their family lay their eggs in various hidden places, and the eggs are also stained with various debris, including but not limited to duck droppings, mud, and leaves. Every time they collect new eggs, they have to clean them. before further processing.
Bai Wu carefully brushed the duck eggs with leaves.
After the duck eggs are brushed, put them in a dustpan to dry the water, and then put them in a vat to marinate.
There are also a small number of duck eggs that are not brushed, and they are directly stored in the tank.
The shelf life of fresh duck eggs is not long, and if they get wet, the shelf life will be further shortened. If it is not to be made into salted duck eggs, it is generally not processed, just store it directly, and wash it before eating.
The autumn morning sun slanted down on Bai Wu's body, making him feel warm and drowsy.
As soon as Kishi pushed open the door, he saw him sitting in front of the tub, as if his whole body was glowing under the sunlight.
Kishi rubbed his eyes, "Master Priest hasn't come down yet?"
"There may be something stuck. The food is warming in the pot. If you are hungry, eat first."
"I'm not hungry." An Zui walked lazily in front of Bai Wu with his shoes on, and looked at the half of the eggs left in the wooden basin, "Do you want salted duck eggs?"
"otherwise?"
"There are three tanks of salted duck eggs in the utility room, and we don't even have new tanks."
Bai Wu paused, "Tired of eating?"
Kishi nodded honestly, "Can't you eat something else?"
"How about frying it for you? Leek omelette, waterweed omelet, poached egg, let's eat it differently. Steamed eggs are also available, steamed eggs with miso, stewed eggs with minced meat, eggs with sauce..."
Before Bai Wu finished giving examples, Kishi moaned in pain, "Aren't we also eating these every day?"
Bai Wu: "..."
Their family harvests a lot of duck eggs, and eggs are an excellent source of protein. Baiwu does often make various egg-related foods.
Bai Wu sat on the small bench and thought for a while, "I'll think about it again."
"Thinking about it, is there any other delicious food? It's the kind that tastes a bit different from duck eggs."
The two brothers were talking when Nan Yao flew down from the mountain.
Bai Wu looked at Nan Yao subconsciously, and at a glance, she found that the corner of Nan Yao's clothes had been stained white by something.
Seeing him staring at her intently, Nan Yao walked over, "What are you guys talking about?"
Nan Yao lightly supported Fu Bai Wu's shoulders, as if he couldn't help wanting to have physical contact with him, gently pushed him to move aside.
"Is there any new way to eat duck eggs?" Bai Wu smiled to the south, and said to the other side, "You said that, I think of one."
"what?"
"preserved egg."
Kishi was confused, "What kind of egg is a preserved egg? Cook it with animal skin?"
"Add lime."
Kishi was shocked, "Isn't lime poisonous?!"
When they sprayed lime water before, they had to cover their noses with a cloth.
Bai Wu said that the lime water was poisonous and could not be inhaled.
How can it be used to boil eggs now?
Kishi had an expression of "you're lying to me again", "Really boil eggs with lime? Then I won't eat them."
"It's not boiled, it's pickled."
"You must be talking nonsense again, I don't believe it."
"I really didn't lie to you this time. It is pickled through the eggshell, just like salted duck eggs. Try it and you will know."
Kishi looked at Bai Wu again and again, and saw that he had a serious face, as if he really didn't intend to lie, so he reluctantly believed it, "Okay, how do we do it?"
"You take some ash and boil some ash and alkali?"
When they make soap, they use lime soda most of the time.
Kishi was very familiar with this procedure, so he readily boiled the alkali.
Nan Yao asked in Bai Wu's ear, "Is it really possible to make preserved eggs with lime?"
"Really, it's really delicious when made." Bai Wu smacked his lips, "We can also use preserved eggs to exchange supplies with traveling merchants. Preserved eggs also last longer than duck eggs, and they are easier to transport."
While talking here, they cleaned the duck eggs.
Both of them moved very fast.
While they were cleaning, Chuan and Mo came back with two big baskets of duck eggs, and finally they washed out a total of four baskets of duck eggs.
The two fathers heard that they were going to make preserved eggs, and they were also very curious about this new food.
Bai Wu asked the two fathers to bring back some chaff, which he will use later.
Because I was busy making preserved eggs, no one in the family went out, and they were all busy.
By noon, Bai Wu and the others finally had almost prepared the materials.
Coarse salt, lime alkali, plant ash and quicklime, a total of four things.
Bai Wu originally wanted to get some spices, but after thinking about it, the taste of preserved eggs is already very special. If you use spices, it would be easy to make them nondescript. No matter how you think about it, he put the idea of adding spices on hold.
Baiwu took a bucket, poured coarse salt and ash into the bucket, then poured boiling water, and stirred slowly to mix.
After the two are melted, add quicklime and plant ash to Baiwu in batches.
The quicklime reacts with water and turns into mature lime, releasing a lot of heat and a pungent smell at the same time. Kishi stepped back two steps, his face full of doubts.
Bai Wu calmly made all the ingredients into a paste, and then put the duck eggs in it to wrap it.
After the duck eggs are wrapped, they are wrapped with rice husks and put into the tank.
For the first time, Bai Wu didn't dare to cook too much, so he only made two big baskets of duck eggs.
For the remaining two baskets of duck eggs, he made salted eggs according to the old method, and this time Kishi had no objections.
Kishi is content with fresh food at home.
The duck eggs and preserved eggs are ready, and the family lifts the big tank and puts them into the utility room.
Kishi looked at the preserved eggs, "When can these preserved eggs be eaten?"
"I don't know for sure, it's almost a month. Okay, I'm going to the field, where are you all going?"
A family has its own places to go.
Bai Wu and Nan Yao went to the field, the wheat was almost ripe, and they had to inspect it every day.
The same is true for other vegetables and crops. They should weed and weed, fertilize and fertilize, and pay attention to watering.
After returning from the field, Bai Wu and Nan Yao went along the river to find the two little dolphins.
The two little dolphins have only been with them for two days, and they seem to be very used to their place.
When Baiwu and Nanyao just came down, they saw them swimming around along the river, having a great time.
These two little guys are not gentle and harmless characters, and they also hunt when they play.
It seems that what the people of the broad-scaled tribe said, they will feed themselves, and they only need to give them some new food occasionally is true.
"Bai Shui, Nan Yu—" Bai Wu put his hand around his mouth in the shape of a trumpet, calling out to the two little dolphins.
He shouted dryly here, but he didn't hear an echo, and he didn't know if the two little dolphins ran too far?
Bai Wu leaned against Nanyao, took a long breath, rubbed her cheeks and said, "No, it's too laborious, and I have to find another way."
"What do you think? Blow the whistle and call them."
"There is a way." Bai Wu's eyes lit up, "We can also hang a net over the water, put food in the net, and when they come back, we can come and eat by ourselves, so we don't have to worry about missing them. "
"This method is also possible. You can also make an appointment with them and let them come back at a fixed time."
"In this case, it needs to be fed at a fixed time."
There was nothing to do in the afternoon, so the two simply sat by the river and discussed.
While they were chatting, the two little dolphins uttered "Lingling" calls and swam towards them chasing after each other.
They like to swim close to the surface of the water, and they make a lot of noise when they swim over. Bai Wu and Nan Yao spotted these two little guys immediately, and stood up and looked at them in surprise.
"Where did you go?" Bai Wu asked.
"Ling—" the two little dolphins didn't answer, they just circled in the water under their feet, looking like they wanted to be touched by Bai Wu.
The two little ones liked interacting with humans very much, Bai Wu knelt down softly and reached out, wanting to touch the two little dolphins.
When he just squatted down, Bai Shui approached him first, and rubbed his palm with his kiss.
After rubbing for a while, Bai Shui opened his mouth and spat something into his hand, it was slippery and could move.
Bai Wu was startled, subconsciously withdrew her hand.
He just retracted his hand a few inches, and immediately realized that Bai Shui brought him something.
Bai Wu quickly stretched out his hand to catch the thing he let go.
As soon as the thing touched the water, it ran away quickly, bounced a few times, and was about to go under the water.
Bai Wu frowned in frustration, leaned forward, and wanted to continue catching, Nan Yao quickly grabbed his arm to prevent him from falling into the water.
Bai Shui's huge body flexibly turned a corner, with his head down, and dived down to chase the escaped prey.
Nan Yu took the opportunity to squeeze forward and spit out the contents of its mouth to Bai Wu.
Everything happens in an instant.
This time Bai Wu grabbed it hard.
He originally thought that Nan Yu would bring him a fish, but he caught it and found a translucent prawn in his hand. This prawn was as long as his forearm, and the whiskers in front were also very long.
"Damn it!" Bai Wu was startled, "Could it be a lobster?"
He took a closer look, and soon realized that it was really not a lobster, but an ordinary prawn.
No, or the species is similar to ordinary prawns, but it looks much bigger than ordinary prawns.
This time the prawn was very powerful, he bowed and flicked, trying to escape from his grasp.
Bai Wu pinched the prawn's body with both hands, and finally managed to hold onto it firmly.
The head of the prawn has a sharp part, Nan Yao was worried that Bai Wu would hurt his hand, so he stretched out his hand to hold the prawn together with him.
When Bai Wu was marveling at the prawns, Nan Yu was still swimming around in front of them, coquettishly beeping, looking like he wanted to beg.
Bai Wu put the prawns into the back basket, closed the lid of the back basket, squatted down and continued to touch the little guy.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he squatted down, the little guy spit out another shrimp and put it in his hand.
Bai Wu hurriedly gathered her hands to grab the prawns in her hands.
This shrimp is no smaller than the last one.
This is definitely a gift from the two little porpoises, but they don't know where the two little porpoises have hidden the prawns.
Bai Wu took the prawn and threw it into the back basket, reached out to touch Nan Yu's head, and said pleasantly, "Thank you!"
"Ling—" Nan Yu rubbed his hand affectionately.
While they were playing, Baishui floated out from the bottom of the river, bumping Nanyu's body away unhappily, wanting to rub against Baiwu.
It caught the prawns back!
Bai Wu exclaimed in surprise, "You guys are amazing!"
These two little guys are mischievous when they are naughty, and they are really sweet when they are caring. Bai Wu rubbed against them one by one and even hugged them with open arms.
The two little dolphins brought three arm-long prawns to Bai Wu and the others. For dinner, Bai Wu's family ate deep-fried prawns and steamed prawns with minced garlic.
Two oil fried, one garlic.
The meat of prawns is much more than that of crabs. For such a big prawn, when the shell is peeled off, there is a piece of meat thick as an arm.
The most rare thing is that the meat of such a big shrimp is not old at all, but very sweet.
Bai Wu picked up a piece of shrimp meat, lightly dipped it in a little sauce and put it in his mouth, his mouth was full of fresh and sweet meat.
This kind of meat is more delicious and tender than animal meat.
The shrimp meat is divided into three portions, one for the two little wolves, one for the two porpoises, and one for their family.
No matter how big the shrimp is, it will not be enough to eat after such a division.
After An finished eating a few pieces of shrimp meat, he washed the rice with the garlic juice on the plate, taking advantage of the delicious taste of the shrimp. After eating two large bowls of rice, he rubbed his stomach, "I decided to share my love for Nanfeng Baixue. Give one to the two little dolphins."
"They're not called two little dolphins, but Nanyu and Baishui, okay?"
"Then let me say it again, I decided to share my affection for Nanfeng and Baixue with Nanyu and Baishui."
Hearing their names, the little wolf seemed to understand what An was talking about, and came over to him, flicking his tail.
Kishi rubbed his belly with a painful expression on his face, "Cub, don't blame me for empathy, look at the two of you, your stomach is almost hanging to the ground, and you have never seen a turning back in such a long time."
"Ouch-"
"Don't say you don't have meat, I've seen it all. Just today, you caught at least seven birds."
"Wow!"
"Who says I don't like it? I like eating birds."
"Ugh-"
……
Bai Wu watched his naive elder brother talking to the two little wolves, lazily tidying up the dishes.
Chuan said: "Put it there, I'll wash it, you go play."
Bai Wu didn't like to wash dishes, so she smiled at his Yafu, and pulled Nanyao to get some soap, and went to take a bath.
The prawn meat was delicious and very strong with a special fishy smell.
Bai Wu washed her hands several times, and she could still smell the smell through the crevices of her fingers.
He has to wash again.
Bai Wu found that there was really a lot of food in the water.
Aquatic plants, fish turtles, shrimps and crabs, if they are willing, they can stay in the water for a day and find as much food as they can find on the shore.
Thanks to the two little dolphins, Bai Wu and Nan Yao can catch several baskets of fish every day these days.
Now is the season of high and crisp autumn. The fish is processed on the same day, salted for one night, and dried the next day. After several times of drying and salting, a very fragrant dried fish can be produced.
Dried fish can be steamed and served as a salted fish meal, or it can be soaked and then fried with other dishes. It is delicious no matter how you make it, and it is also an excellent food for protein supplementation.
Like an ant, Bai Wu collected several baskets of dried fish, and still happily wanted to go further afield with Xiao Dolphin.
It was time for Nanyao to inspect the whole territory again. This time, instead of flying in the air, they simply took the water route and rode two small dolphins along the Changshui River to inspect everywhere.
There is a dense network of rivers in their territory, and no matter where they are, they can basically see rivers.
There are places where the two little dolphins really can't reach, so they let the two little dolphins rest in the river, and they fly to the sky alone to inspect.
When the inspection is over, come down and join the two little dolphins, and get two meals a day by the way.
Bai Wu sat on Xiao Dolphin's body every day, and it was the first time that he didn't feel tired at all from such a tour.
In the evening he even had the energy to cook a big meal for the two of them and the two young piglets.
He felt very happy, and the two porpoises were also happy, and the two porpoises were happy every day.
On this day, they followed the Changshui River to the territory of the Changwei tribe.
They deal with the Long-tailed tribe more often, and the patriarch of the Long-tailed tribe, Juan Er, is a sub-orc man, and Bai Wu has a good impression of this tribe.
Bai Wu and Nan Yao discussed whether they should visit their tribe.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they arrived at the territory of the Long-tailed tribe, they heard the sound of thump, thump, thump, which was very obvious in the wilderness.
"What's that sound?" Bai Wu listened for a while, "Cut down a tree?"
"It shouldn't be cutting trees." Nan Yao said, "You wait here for a while, I will fly to the sky to have a look."
Nan Yao flew into the sky and didn't come down for a while.
Bai Wu was watching him hovering in the sky from below, feeling very itchy, and patted Bai Shui under her body, "You guys wait here for a while, I'll fly up to have a look too."
"Ling—"
"Hey, it's okay to play for a while."
After Bai Wu finished speaking, she changed back into a beast shape, flapped her wings and flew up directly, walking side by side with Nan Yao.
His tail feathers have grown a little more recently, and they look beautiful as they drag across the sky.
Nan Yao spotted him immediately, and beeped to signal him to go over there.
The two flew deep into the forest.
Only then did Bai Wu realize that the people of the Long-tail tribe were probably a little far away from them, because the forest was very empty, and the voice had an echo, which was how it came out.
They flew for a while before they saw the traces of the Long-tailed people.
Sure enough, this group of people was not cutting trees, but knocking a kind of fruit on the trees with long wooden sticks.
That kind of fruit is about the size of a pomelo, with a bluish-yellow skin, and looks very firm. Every time the Long-tailed people knock it, they can make a thumping sound.
With a cry, Bai Wu fell to the ground together with Nan Yao.
The people from the Long-tail tribe also quickly spotted them, and looked towards them, "Master Priest, Lord Wu!"
"Are you here to inspect the territory again?"
The people of the Changwei tribe seemed very happy, they took out the fruit they had just planted from the baskets on their backs, and invited Baiwu and Nanyao to eat.
Bai Wu looked at these huge fruits and asked in surprise, "What is this? I haven't seen it before."
"Hey dates, by the way, your tribe doesn't seem to have any. You can take some back to eat. This year's harvest of stone dates is very good, and we harvested a lot."
A heavy seeded date was stuffed into Bai Wu's hand, the seeded date was big and heavy, a little soft to the touch, completely different from the dates he had seen in his previous life.
Seed dates have a green and astringent fragrance, a bit like lemon.
Bai Wu wiped the skin of the date with the back of his hand, and gnawed on the date in a careless manner.
Under this bite, his teeth were almost acidified.
Bai Wu's face almost wrinkled, "Why are these dates so sour?"
The people of the Changwei tribe picked up the dates and tasted them one after another, "It's not sour, it's okay."
"I don't know if there is a lack of water this year, but the dates are a little sweeter than last year."
"Master Wu, you can eat the yellow ones, the yellow ones are not sour."
Bai Wu was stuffed with another date, and he took a bite of the date suspiciously. This date is not so sour, and if you taste it carefully, you can still taste a little bit of sweetness.
But no matter what, it can't be compared with delicious food.
Bai Wu asked: "Do you take the stone dates back and eat them as fruits?"
"Hahahaha, of course not. If you eat it as fruit, your teeth will be sour."
"We eat it as a vegetable and use it to cook meat. It tastes very good. Lord Priest, Lord Wu, come and eat in the tribe today. They also harvested mutton yesterday. The boiled mutton with dates is a must in our tribe."
The Longtail people warmly invite them to eat in the tribe.
Bai Wu knew them well, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with eating in the tribe.
He was very curious about this kind of seed dates, and he exchanged a glance with Nan Yao, and said bluntly, "Then I'll go and tell our little dolphin that I'm going to have dinner with you tonight."
"Okay, we'll still drink juice in the evening. Master Wu, don't you really like to drink? I'll bring you some back when the time comes."
Bai Wu went to talk to the two little dolphins, let them play freely, and meet up near the Changwei tribe tomorrow.
The two little porpoises are not smart enough to understand the meaning of each of their words, but the general direction is not wrong.
Even if they can't meet up near the Long Tail Clan tomorrow, the two of them will fly to the sky to look for them, and they will easily find the two little ones.
Their stature is too huge, as long as they don't deliberately hide, they can be found by scanning the sky.
Bai Wu and Nan Yao help the people of the Changwei tribe to crack the dates.
These stone dates are very big, and the branches are so thin that they have no way to stand on the tree to pick them, so they can only use sticks to knock them under the tree.
The sticks used to knock the dates are very heavy, and they get tired after lifting them for a while, and it is not easy.
Everyone worked until the sun went down before filling the baskets they brought.
The people of the Longtail tribe sang songs and flew back to the tribe with them.
This period of time is the time to harvest pitted dates, not only the group of people Bai Wu met are picking pitted dates, but also other members of the Changwei tribe are also picking pitted dates.
Dozens of baskets of jujubes were piled up in the open space of the Changwei tribe. Except for a few people who were cooking, the rest of the people used knives to scoop out the flesh of the jujubes.
The stone date is indeed a "core" date. It has a huge core, which is bigger than an apple. It is heavy in the hand, just like holding a stone.
On the contrary, the jujube meat is such a thin layer, and there is not much to peel off.
Bai Wu asked: "Are these pulps going to be pickled?"
"Yes." The Long-tailed man replied with a smile, "After salting, put it in a jar to marinate for a month or two. It tastes very good whether it is cooked or soaked in water."
"Master Wu, we have marinated fruit pulp last year, when you go back, take some back to taste."
"Where is the need to wait until we go back? Isn't it over now to take it out and soak it in water? Go find it and let the two adults have a taste."
The people of the long-tail tribe enthusiastically search for the marinated fruit pulp last year.
They soaked the pulp in boiling water, added insect honey and served it for Baiwu and Nanyao to taste.
Nan Yao usually drinks this stuff, but only rarely.
It was the first time to drink Baiwu, so he smelled it first, and it really smelled like lemon grapefruit.
If anything, the smell is somewhere in between.
Anyway, it smells fresh.
Bai Wu blew on the hot water in the cup, and took a sip carefully. The taste was slightly salty, slightly sour, and sweet with insect honey.
In this era of few drinks, it tasted really good. His eyes lit up, he looked at the Long-tailed people, and gave him a thumbs up.
An old Asian orc man from the Long-tail tribe smiled at them honestly, "Drinking this stuff is good for your health, you should drink more."
"Thank you." Bai Wu took another sip and praised, "It's really delicious."
The people of the Changwei tribe have been peeling the fruit. After the meal is ready, everyone temporarily put down the stone dates in their hands to eat.
Today's dinner is stewed mutton with date meat, which contains three ingredients: date meat, lamb, and coarse salt. After cooking, the taste is very good, soft and slightly sour, and it is delicious when eaten with green roots.
Bai Wu ate two large plates in one go, until her belly was full.
No wonder the people of the Longtail tribe are so concerned about Hezao.
After eating, Bai Wu picked up a few date pits, "Can I take some date pits back to the tribe to plant?"
Juan Erdao: "Of course, you can take as much as you want, it's useless anyway."
"Why is it useless, can't the nuts inside be eaten?"
"Nuts? We haven't had much of that."
Bai Wu looked at the Changwei clan in surprise, and then at the fruit stone in his hand.
Logically speaking, with such a large core, one must break open to see if the nuts inside can be eaten, otherwise it would be a waste.
Thinking of this, Bai Wu put the fruit core next to her ear and shook it.
This fruit core is very heavy, and you can't hear any sound when you shake it next to your ear. It feels like a solid iron ball.
Bai Wu feels that the nuts inside must be huge.
He was very interested in finding a stone on the ground, and wanted to break open the core on the spot to see if the nuts inside could be eaten.
The people of the Changwei tribe were very curious about the appearance of the nut, and they also found him various stones with interest.
The fruit core is indeed like an iron ball, Bai Wu used several stones in a row, but the stones were smashed and the core was not broken.
He stared at the fruit core with wide eyes, with a look of seeing a ghost.
Nan Yao took the stone in his hand, "I'll knock it."
Nanyao's strength was much stronger, and it took a little time to finally break open the fruit core.
The core is very large, but the nuts inside are not that big, at most about the size of a table tennis ball.
The shell of this core is really too thick.
Bai Wu held the tender nut, "Can I eat this?"
Nan Yao sniffed, "I haven't seen anyone eat it, so be careful."
An old man from the long-tailed tribe said beside him: "You can eat it, but the taste is just the same. We have eaten it before."
Bai Wu broke off a small piece, looked at it in front of her eyes, and then threw it into her mouth.
There is a layer of fruit coating on the outside of the nut, which tastes a bit bitter, but the nut itself has no taste, crisp and raw, with a little sweetness, and it tastes a bit like tender peanuts.
Bai Wu peeled off the outer layer of fruit with her fingernails, and tasted another piece, this time the nuts looked more like tender peanuts.
Bai Wu picked a piece for Nan Yao and asked him to taste it.
Nan Yao's expression remained unchanged, and he seemed to have no feeling for the nut.
The Baiwu was eaten by the Changwei people.
The people of the long tail tribe also say that it is delicious, but not to the extent of liking it.
Bai Wu said: "I also think it's quite delicious. It's too wasteful to throw the nuts here."
Juan Er smiled wryly, "It's not that you can't eat it. In order to eat such a small amount of nuts, you have to spend so much effort, and you have to accidentally drop it on your hand. It's not worth it."
Bai Wu didn't think of this reason, "Does your tribe have stone pound? Crush it and eat it."
"Yes, but I guess the effect will not be very good."
Bai Wu didn't believe in that evil, so he put such a big nut there, and he didn't eat it until he didn't eat it. I'm really sorry for his discovery.
He took a group of Changwei people to look for Shichong, and it happened that the people of the Changwei people could eat the pulp and saved a lot of stones.
They put the core directly into the stone pound, and they can start pounding.
Bai Wu originally thought that after having the stone pound, they would be able to eat the nuts in it soon, but he didn't expect that a group of people worked hard around the stone pound for a long time, and they didn't smash any of them.
Their hands turned red from the reaction.
Juan Er said: "Forget it, there are so many fruits out there, and there are not so many nuts to eat, let's stop tossing."
"I don't believe in that evil. I will definitely find a way. You continue to eat the pulp and leave the core to me. I don't want yours for nothing. I will exchange them with soap."
"What's the use of soap? Take it if you want it, we don't need it anyway."
The people of the long-tail tribe only want the pulp, not the core.
When Bai Wu wanted it, they packed the cores and sent them to Bai Wu's home.
Bai Wu and Nan Yao continued to make inspections. They thanked the people of the Changwei tribe and continued on their journey.
Soon, Bai Wu discovered that the jujube is not a unique thing in the territory of the Changwei tribe. The neighboring tribes have this kind of fruit, and everyone has the habit of picking this kind of fruit and eating the pulp, but no one eats the nuts. .
In their words, there are a lot of fruits in the wild now, and there is no need to compete with this kind of hard small fruit, and they can't even compete with them. They can't open it at all.
Bai Wu didn't believe in that evil, he carried a basket of fruit cores with him, and tried various methods on the road to try to open the cores.
These methods include but are not limited to boiling the fruit core in a pot, simmering it on a fire, and roasting it directly on the fire. No matter which method is used, there is no way to easily break the fruit shell.
He also tried to throw it into the fire and burn it directly to see if it could explode.
Unexpectedly, the fire directly burned these kernels into charcoal balls. The kernels inside have been charred, and the shells on the outside are still there.
Bai Wu was very convinced.
Nan Yao didn't stop him from doing anything, but accompanied him to process the fruit stones.
In the end, Nan Yao saw that he really had nothing to do, and said, "It's fine if you can't handle it. As they said, there is no shortage of those few fruits. If you want, I will pick other nuts for you."
Bai Wu gritted his teeth with the fruit pits, "It's not just a few fruits, look at the tribes, they pile up the fruit pits as high as a hill, if they can find a way to use them, they are another resource."
"How to use them? Throw them into the firepit as firewood? Several tribes have already used this method."
"That's the way to use them as firewood. I want to use them as food."
Bai Wu smashed the roasted fruit pit open with a stone.
After roasting, the shell will be a little crisper, but it’s just a little bit, and it’s still very laborious to smash. After breaking open, the nuts inside are baked just right, maybe because the shell is too thick. There is a kind of dried fruit after roasting fragrance.
Bai Wu removed the outer shell of the nuts, and gave half of the nuts to Nan Yao, "Does it taste good?"
"Yes. Other nuts have a similar taste."
"The yield of other kinds of nuts is not as high as this." Bai Wu twisted the twisted nuts, "Besides serving as snacks, have you noticed that it contains a lot of oil?"
As Bai Wu said, he spread out his hands to show Nan Yao his oily fingers, and he could squeeze out a lot of oil with a light twirl.
"You want to extract oil?"
"If possible, it would be nice to be able to extract oil."
The oil they eat now mainly comes from two sources, one is animal oil and the other is fruit oil.
Animal oil accounts for more than 80.00% of their daily edible oil, and fruit oil is mainly autumn fruit oil, which is mainly used to moisturize the skin, and the rest is used for eating.
Among the nine major tribes of the Niao people, stir-frying is not yet popular, and they don't add extra oil when stewing.
Therefore, everyone is not very short of oil, and has no obsession with oil.
Bai Wu just looked at these nuts and felt that it was a pity that there was no way to waste them.
If this kind of nuts can be fried into oil, they will have another stable source of cooking oil, which would be great.
Nuts are originally waste, and if they are fried into oil, there are not many more processes.
Bai Wu kept trying to find a way on the road.
They went out for more than a week, their heads were empty, and they still couldn't think of any solution.
When he went back, he was so depressed that his eyebrows drooped.
Seeing him like this, An asked Nanyao dejectedly, "What happened to you when you went out? Why does Wu have such an expression?"
"Wu wants to eat the nuts inside the core."
"I said, no wonder several tribes gave us so many fruit cores, we can eat as much as we want, and the stone can be opened by knocking on the side a few more times, even I can knock it open."
Bai Wu said weakly: "Whisper, please go a little farther away? You can knock it open, how many times do you need to knock it open?"
"Ten times or eight times, we still have a hammer at home.
Everyone was busy, making this small hill extremely lively.
Bai Wu couldn't help, so he simply found out his own big stone pot, took out other spices, fried the spices with animal oil, added water, and boiled a big pot of stewed soup.
After the crocodile meat is slightly blanched, put it in the stewed soup and stew it slowly over low heat.
Wait until the stewed soup boils, then move it into a large stone pot, and continue to stew slowly over low heat.
The meat marinated in the stone pot is different from the iron pot, and has a special flavor.
After a while, this small mountain was filled with the smell of braised pork.
Nanfeng and Baixue frantically wagged their fluffy tails, weaving through the crowd, begging for food and petting.
They ate countless pieces of meat, but they still smelled the stewed meat and felt hungry.
Bai Wu specially boiled the dipping sauce in an iron pot, cleaned the firepit, and started roasting the marinated crocodile meat.
Some of these crocodile meats are grilled alone, and some are grilled with vegetables. All the grilled meats are brushed with oil and sauce, which is different from the dry wood grilled meat that is grilled every day in the tribe.
The strong aroma makes the stomach twitch with hunger.
While roasting Bai Wu, he greeted everyone to eat meat.
The orcs and sub-orcs who came to help were not particular about it, and their hands were still stained with blood, so they picked up sticks and ate them in big mouthfuls.
While handling the crocodiles, everyone ate meat and sang songs.
A bonfire crackled nearby.
From time to time, the two big wolves echoed "Wow".
After coaxing the two big wolves, Bai Wu and Nan Yao brought braised meat and barbecue to feed the two little porpoises.
The two little porpoises were the heroes, and Bai Wu brought them a lot of meat.
The little porpoise never refuses anyone who comes, and hiccups until he eats it.
After they were full, the two little dolphins were still circling in the river water under their feet, spraying water with their noses to play with Bai Wu and the others.
Baiwu's house hadn't been this lively for a long time, Chuan and Mo were extremely happy, and even made tea and sour juice to relieve everyone's boredom.
Everyone kept arguing at their house until midnight before packing up and going home one after another.
When Bai Wu got up the next day, he touched the ashes and found that the ashes hadn't cooled down yet.
He couldn't help shaking his head and laughing.
All the crocodile meat has been processed, and now it is pressed in a large vat and marinated with salt, which has been marinated for five large vats.
Bai Wu took out the crocodile meat with a basket on his back, threaded it with a rope, and hung it on a tree branch to dry.
These crocodile meats are marinated in the sun and night, and after repeated several times, they will not go bad.
Bai Wu's house had a lot of crocodile meat. He carried a basket on his back and went down the mountain road to dry it for half a mile.
When he returned after drying the crocodile meat, Chuan and Mo just flew back from the outside.
Bai Wu was a little surprised, "Yafu, why did you get up so early?"
Chuan Dao: "It's already much later than usual."
"I went to bed late last night."
"It's okay, I can't sleep even if I lie down. We went to pick up two baskets of duck eggs and came back. There are still a lot of crabs in the forest, so we have to go again."
The ducks in Baiwu’s family live very comfortably in the crab forest, eating all kinds of small flowers and grasses, small fish, shrimps and small crabs, each one is fatter than the other, and the eggs it lays are also bigger, and there are a lot of them inside. Double yolk eggs.
They go to pick up duck eggs every few days. They have been busy for a while and haven't gone for several days.
Bai Wu said: "Why don't we go after dinner? There are still a lot of braised crocodile and grilled crocodile from yesterday. I can simply fry two dishes and eat."
Chuan rubbed his stomach, "Last night I slept too late, the meat I ate hasn't been digested much, so I'll eat when I come back. Eat first if you're hungry."
"That's still waiting for you to come back to eat together. I will deal with these duck eggs first."
The ducks in their family lay their eggs in various hidden places, and the eggs are also stained with various debris, including but not limited to duck droppings, mud, and leaves. Every time they collect new eggs, they have to clean them. before further processing.
Bai Wu carefully brushed the duck eggs with leaves.
After the duck eggs are brushed, put them in a dustpan to dry the water, and then put them in a vat to marinate.
There are also a small number of duck eggs that are not brushed, and they are directly stored in the tank.
The shelf life of fresh duck eggs is not long, and if they get wet, the shelf life will be further shortened. If it is not to be made into salted duck eggs, it is generally not processed, just store it directly, and wash it before eating.
The autumn morning sun slanted down on Bai Wu's body, making him feel warm and drowsy.
As soon as Kishi pushed open the door, he saw him sitting in front of the tub, as if his whole body was glowing under the sunlight.
Kishi rubbed his eyes, "Master Priest hasn't come down yet?"
"There may be something stuck. The food is warming in the pot. If you are hungry, eat first."
"I'm not hungry." An Zui walked lazily in front of Bai Wu with his shoes on, and looked at the half of the eggs left in the wooden basin, "Do you want salted duck eggs?"
"otherwise?"
"There are three tanks of salted duck eggs in the utility room, and we don't even have new tanks."
Bai Wu paused, "Tired of eating?"
Kishi nodded honestly, "Can't you eat something else?"
"How about frying it for you? Leek omelette, waterweed omelet, poached egg, let's eat it differently. Steamed eggs are also available, steamed eggs with miso, stewed eggs with minced meat, eggs with sauce..."
Before Bai Wu finished giving examples, Kishi moaned in pain, "Aren't we also eating these every day?"
Bai Wu: "..."
Their family harvests a lot of duck eggs, and eggs are an excellent source of protein. Baiwu does often make various egg-related foods.
Bai Wu sat on the small bench and thought for a while, "I'll think about it again."
"Thinking about it, is there any other delicious food? It's the kind that tastes a bit different from duck eggs."
The two brothers were talking when Nan Yao flew down from the mountain.
Bai Wu looked at Nan Yao subconsciously, and at a glance, she found that the corner of Nan Yao's clothes had been stained white by something.
Seeing him staring at her intently, Nan Yao walked over, "What are you guys talking about?"
Nan Yao lightly supported Fu Bai Wu's shoulders, as if he couldn't help wanting to have physical contact with him, gently pushed him to move aside.
"Is there any new way to eat duck eggs?" Bai Wu smiled to the south, and said to the other side, "You said that, I think of one."
"what?"
"preserved egg."
Kishi was confused, "What kind of egg is a preserved egg? Cook it with animal skin?"
"Add lime."
Kishi was shocked, "Isn't lime poisonous?!"
When they sprayed lime water before, they had to cover their noses with a cloth.
Bai Wu said that the lime water was poisonous and could not be inhaled.
How can it be used to boil eggs now?
Kishi had an expression of "you're lying to me again", "Really boil eggs with lime? Then I won't eat them."
"It's not boiled, it's pickled."
"You must be talking nonsense again, I don't believe it."
"I really didn't lie to you this time. It is pickled through the eggshell, just like salted duck eggs. Try it and you will know."
Kishi looked at Bai Wu again and again, and saw that he had a serious face, as if he really didn't intend to lie, so he reluctantly believed it, "Okay, how do we do it?"
"You take some ash and boil some ash and alkali?"
When they make soap, they use lime soda most of the time.
Kishi was very familiar with this procedure, so he readily boiled the alkali.
Nan Yao asked in Bai Wu's ear, "Is it really possible to make preserved eggs with lime?"
"Really, it's really delicious when made." Bai Wu smacked his lips, "We can also use preserved eggs to exchange supplies with traveling merchants. Preserved eggs also last longer than duck eggs, and they are easier to transport."
While talking here, they cleaned the duck eggs.
Both of them moved very fast.
While they were cleaning, Chuan and Mo came back with two big baskets of duck eggs, and finally they washed out a total of four baskets of duck eggs.
The two fathers heard that they were going to make preserved eggs, and they were also very curious about this new food.
Bai Wu asked the two fathers to bring back some chaff, which he will use later.
Because I was busy making preserved eggs, no one in the family went out, and they were all busy.
By noon, Bai Wu and the others finally had almost prepared the materials.
Coarse salt, lime alkali, plant ash and quicklime, a total of four things.
Bai Wu originally wanted to get some spices, but after thinking about it, the taste of preserved eggs is already very special. If you use spices, it would be easy to make them nondescript. No matter how you think about it, he put the idea of adding spices on hold.
Baiwu took a bucket, poured coarse salt and ash into the bucket, then poured boiling water, and stirred slowly to mix.
After the two are melted, add quicklime and plant ash to Baiwu in batches.
The quicklime reacts with water and turns into mature lime, releasing a lot of heat and a pungent smell at the same time. Kishi stepped back two steps, his face full of doubts.
Bai Wu calmly made all the ingredients into a paste, and then put the duck eggs in it to wrap it.
After the duck eggs are wrapped, they are wrapped with rice husks and put into the tank.
For the first time, Bai Wu didn't dare to cook too much, so he only made two big baskets of duck eggs.
For the remaining two baskets of duck eggs, he made salted eggs according to the old method, and this time Kishi had no objections.
Kishi is content with fresh food at home.
The duck eggs and preserved eggs are ready, and the family lifts the big tank and puts them into the utility room.
Kishi looked at the preserved eggs, "When can these preserved eggs be eaten?"
"I don't know for sure, it's almost a month. Okay, I'm going to the field, where are you all going?"
A family has its own places to go.
Bai Wu and Nan Yao went to the field, the wheat was almost ripe, and they had to inspect it every day.
The same is true for other vegetables and crops. They should weed and weed, fertilize and fertilize, and pay attention to watering.
After returning from the field, Bai Wu and Nan Yao went along the river to find the two little dolphins.
The two little dolphins have only been with them for two days, and they seem to be very used to their place.
When Baiwu and Nanyao just came down, they saw them swimming around along the river, having a great time.
These two little guys are not gentle and harmless characters, and they also hunt when they play.
It seems that what the people of the broad-scaled tribe said, they will feed themselves, and they only need to give them some new food occasionally is true.
"Bai Shui, Nan Yu—" Bai Wu put his hand around his mouth in the shape of a trumpet, calling out to the two little dolphins.
He shouted dryly here, but he didn't hear an echo, and he didn't know if the two little dolphins ran too far?
Bai Wu leaned against Nanyao, took a long breath, rubbed her cheeks and said, "No, it's too laborious, and I have to find another way."
"What do you think? Blow the whistle and call them."
"There is a way." Bai Wu's eyes lit up, "We can also hang a net over the water, put food in the net, and when they come back, we can come and eat by ourselves, so we don't have to worry about missing them. "
"This method is also possible. You can also make an appointment with them and let them come back at a fixed time."
"In this case, it needs to be fed at a fixed time."
There was nothing to do in the afternoon, so the two simply sat by the river and discussed.
While they were chatting, the two little dolphins uttered "Lingling" calls and swam towards them chasing after each other.
They like to swim close to the surface of the water, and they make a lot of noise when they swim over. Bai Wu and Nan Yao spotted these two little guys immediately, and stood up and looked at them in surprise.
"Where did you go?" Bai Wu asked.
"Ling—" the two little dolphins didn't answer, they just circled in the water under their feet, looking like they wanted to be touched by Bai Wu.
The two little ones liked interacting with humans very much, Bai Wu knelt down softly and reached out, wanting to touch the two little dolphins.
When he just squatted down, Bai Shui approached him first, and rubbed his palm with his kiss.
After rubbing for a while, Bai Shui opened his mouth and spat something into his hand, it was slippery and could move.
Bai Wu was startled, subconsciously withdrew her hand.
He just retracted his hand a few inches, and immediately realized that Bai Shui brought him something.
Bai Wu quickly stretched out his hand to catch the thing he let go.
As soon as the thing touched the water, it ran away quickly, bounced a few times, and was about to go under the water.
Bai Wu frowned in frustration, leaned forward, and wanted to continue catching, Nan Yao quickly grabbed his arm to prevent him from falling into the water.
Bai Shui's huge body flexibly turned a corner, with his head down, and dived down to chase the escaped prey.
Nan Yu took the opportunity to squeeze forward and spit out the contents of its mouth to Bai Wu.
Everything happens in an instant.
This time Bai Wu grabbed it hard.
He originally thought that Nan Yu would bring him a fish, but he caught it and found a translucent prawn in his hand. This prawn was as long as his forearm, and the whiskers in front were also very long.
"Damn it!" Bai Wu was startled, "Could it be a lobster?"
He took a closer look, and soon realized that it was really not a lobster, but an ordinary prawn.
No, or the species is similar to ordinary prawns, but it looks much bigger than ordinary prawns.
This time the prawn was very powerful, he bowed and flicked, trying to escape from his grasp.
Bai Wu pinched the prawn's body with both hands, and finally managed to hold onto it firmly.
The head of the prawn has a sharp part, Nan Yao was worried that Bai Wu would hurt his hand, so he stretched out his hand to hold the prawn together with him.
When Bai Wu was marveling at the prawns, Nan Yu was still swimming around in front of them, coquettishly beeping, looking like he wanted to beg.
Bai Wu put the prawns into the back basket, closed the lid of the back basket, squatted down and continued to touch the little guy.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he squatted down, the little guy spit out another shrimp and put it in his hand.
Bai Wu hurriedly gathered her hands to grab the prawns in her hands.
This shrimp is no smaller than the last one.
This is definitely a gift from the two little porpoises, but they don't know where the two little porpoises have hidden the prawns.
Bai Wu took the prawn and threw it into the back basket, reached out to touch Nan Yu's head, and said pleasantly, "Thank you!"
"Ling—" Nan Yu rubbed his hand affectionately.
While they were playing, Baishui floated out from the bottom of the river, bumping Nanyu's body away unhappily, wanting to rub against Baiwu.
It caught the prawns back!
Bai Wu exclaimed in surprise, "You guys are amazing!"
These two little guys are mischievous when they are naughty, and they are really sweet when they are caring. Bai Wu rubbed against them one by one and even hugged them with open arms.
The two little dolphins brought three arm-long prawns to Bai Wu and the others. For dinner, Bai Wu's family ate deep-fried prawns and steamed prawns with minced garlic.
Two oil fried, one garlic.
The meat of prawns is much more than that of crabs. For such a big prawn, when the shell is peeled off, there is a piece of meat thick as an arm.
The most rare thing is that the meat of such a big shrimp is not old at all, but very sweet.
Bai Wu picked up a piece of shrimp meat, lightly dipped it in a little sauce and put it in his mouth, his mouth was full of fresh and sweet meat.
This kind of meat is more delicious and tender than animal meat.
The shrimp meat is divided into three portions, one for the two little wolves, one for the two porpoises, and one for their family.
No matter how big the shrimp is, it will not be enough to eat after such a division.
After An finished eating a few pieces of shrimp meat, he washed the rice with the garlic juice on the plate, taking advantage of the delicious taste of the shrimp. After eating two large bowls of rice, he rubbed his stomach, "I decided to share my love for Nanfeng Baixue. Give one to the two little dolphins."
"They're not called two little dolphins, but Nanyu and Baishui, okay?"
"Then let me say it again, I decided to share my affection for Nanfeng and Baixue with Nanyu and Baishui."
Hearing their names, the little wolf seemed to understand what An was talking about, and came over to him, flicking his tail.
Kishi rubbed his belly with a painful expression on his face, "Cub, don't blame me for empathy, look at the two of you, your stomach is almost hanging to the ground, and you have never seen a turning back in such a long time."
"Ouch-"
"Don't say you don't have meat, I've seen it all. Just today, you caught at least seven birds."
"Wow!"
"Who says I don't like it? I like eating birds."
"Ugh-"
……
Bai Wu watched his naive elder brother talking to the two little wolves, lazily tidying up the dishes.
Chuan said: "Put it there, I'll wash it, you go play."
Bai Wu didn't like to wash dishes, so she smiled at his Yafu, and pulled Nanyao to get some soap, and went to take a bath.
The prawn meat was delicious and very strong with a special fishy smell.
Bai Wu washed her hands several times, and she could still smell the smell through the crevices of her fingers.
He has to wash again.
Bai Wu found that there was really a lot of food in the water.
Aquatic plants, fish turtles, shrimps and crabs, if they are willing, they can stay in the water for a day and find as much food as they can find on the shore.
Thanks to the two little dolphins, Bai Wu and Nan Yao can catch several baskets of fish every day these days.
Now is the season of high and crisp autumn. The fish is processed on the same day, salted for one night, and dried the next day. After several times of drying and salting, a very fragrant dried fish can be produced.
Dried fish can be steamed and served as a salted fish meal, or it can be soaked and then fried with other dishes. It is delicious no matter how you make it, and it is also an excellent food for protein supplementation.
Like an ant, Bai Wu collected several baskets of dried fish, and still happily wanted to go further afield with Xiao Dolphin.
It was time for Nanyao to inspect the whole territory again. This time, instead of flying in the air, they simply took the water route and rode two small dolphins along the Changshui River to inspect everywhere.
There is a dense network of rivers in their territory, and no matter where they are, they can basically see rivers.
There are places where the two little dolphins really can't reach, so they let the two little dolphins rest in the river, and they fly to the sky alone to inspect.
When the inspection is over, come down and join the two little dolphins, and get two meals a day by the way.
Bai Wu sat on Xiao Dolphin's body every day, and it was the first time that he didn't feel tired at all from such a tour.
In the evening he even had the energy to cook a big meal for the two of them and the two young piglets.
He felt very happy, and the two porpoises were also happy, and the two porpoises were happy every day.
On this day, they followed the Changshui River to the territory of the Changwei tribe.
They deal with the Long-tailed tribe more often, and the patriarch of the Long-tailed tribe, Juan Er, is a sub-orc man, and Bai Wu has a good impression of this tribe.
Bai Wu and Nan Yao discussed whether they should visit their tribe.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they arrived at the territory of the Long-tailed tribe, they heard the sound of thump, thump, thump, which was very obvious in the wilderness.
"What's that sound?" Bai Wu listened for a while, "Cut down a tree?"
"It shouldn't be cutting trees." Nan Yao said, "You wait here for a while, I will fly to the sky to have a look."
Nan Yao flew into the sky and didn't come down for a while.
Bai Wu was watching him hovering in the sky from below, feeling very itchy, and patted Bai Shui under her body, "You guys wait here for a while, I'll fly up to have a look too."
"Ling—"
"Hey, it's okay to play for a while."
After Bai Wu finished speaking, she changed back into a beast shape, flapped her wings and flew up directly, walking side by side with Nan Yao.
His tail feathers have grown a little more recently, and they look beautiful as they drag across the sky.
Nan Yao spotted him immediately, and beeped to signal him to go over there.
The two flew deep into the forest.
Only then did Bai Wu realize that the people of the Long-tail tribe were probably a little far away from them, because the forest was very empty, and the voice had an echo, which was how it came out.
They flew for a while before they saw the traces of the Long-tailed people.
Sure enough, this group of people was not cutting trees, but knocking a kind of fruit on the trees with long wooden sticks.
That kind of fruit is about the size of a pomelo, with a bluish-yellow skin, and looks very firm. Every time the Long-tailed people knock it, they can make a thumping sound.
With a cry, Bai Wu fell to the ground together with Nan Yao.
The people from the Long-tail tribe also quickly spotted them, and looked towards them, "Master Priest, Lord Wu!"
"Are you here to inspect the territory again?"
The people of the Changwei tribe seemed very happy, they took out the fruit they had just planted from the baskets on their backs, and invited Baiwu and Nanyao to eat.
Bai Wu looked at these huge fruits and asked in surprise, "What is this? I haven't seen it before."
"Hey dates, by the way, your tribe doesn't seem to have any. You can take some back to eat. This year's harvest of stone dates is very good, and we harvested a lot."
A heavy seeded date was stuffed into Bai Wu's hand, the seeded date was big and heavy, a little soft to the touch, completely different from the dates he had seen in his previous life.
Seed dates have a green and astringent fragrance, a bit like lemon.
Bai Wu wiped the skin of the date with the back of his hand, and gnawed on the date in a careless manner.
Under this bite, his teeth were almost acidified.
Bai Wu's face almost wrinkled, "Why are these dates so sour?"
The people of the Changwei tribe picked up the dates and tasted them one after another, "It's not sour, it's okay."
"I don't know if there is a lack of water this year, but the dates are a little sweeter than last year."
"Master Wu, you can eat the yellow ones, the yellow ones are not sour."
Bai Wu was stuffed with another date, and he took a bite of the date suspiciously. This date is not so sour, and if you taste it carefully, you can still taste a little bit of sweetness.
But no matter what, it can't be compared with delicious food.
Bai Wu asked: "Do you take the stone dates back and eat them as fruits?"
"Hahahaha, of course not. If you eat it as fruit, your teeth will be sour."
"We eat it as a vegetable and use it to cook meat. It tastes very good. Lord Priest, Lord Wu, come and eat in the tribe today. They also harvested mutton yesterday. The boiled mutton with dates is a must in our tribe."
The Longtail people warmly invite them to eat in the tribe.
Bai Wu knew them well, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with eating in the tribe.
He was very curious about this kind of seed dates, and he exchanged a glance with Nan Yao, and said bluntly, "Then I'll go and tell our little dolphin that I'm going to have dinner with you tonight."
"Okay, we'll still drink juice in the evening. Master Wu, don't you really like to drink? I'll bring you some back when the time comes."
Bai Wu went to talk to the two little dolphins, let them play freely, and meet up near the Changwei tribe tomorrow.
The two little porpoises are not smart enough to understand the meaning of each of their words, but the general direction is not wrong.
Even if they can't meet up near the Long Tail Clan tomorrow, the two of them will fly to the sky to look for them, and they will easily find the two little ones.
Their stature is too huge, as long as they don't deliberately hide, they can be found by scanning the sky.
Bai Wu and Nan Yao help the people of the Changwei tribe to crack the dates.
These stone dates are very big, and the branches are so thin that they have no way to stand on the tree to pick them, so they can only use sticks to knock them under the tree.
The sticks used to knock the dates are very heavy, and they get tired after lifting them for a while, and it is not easy.
Everyone worked until the sun went down before filling the baskets they brought.
The people of the Longtail tribe sang songs and flew back to the tribe with them.
This period of time is the time to harvest pitted dates, not only the group of people Bai Wu met are picking pitted dates, but also other members of the Changwei tribe are also picking pitted dates.
Dozens of baskets of jujubes were piled up in the open space of the Changwei tribe. Except for a few people who were cooking, the rest of the people used knives to scoop out the flesh of the jujubes.
The stone date is indeed a "core" date. It has a huge core, which is bigger than an apple. It is heavy in the hand, just like holding a stone.
On the contrary, the jujube meat is such a thin layer, and there is not much to peel off.
Bai Wu asked: "Are these pulps going to be pickled?"
"Yes." The Long-tailed man replied with a smile, "After salting, put it in a jar to marinate for a month or two. It tastes very good whether it is cooked or soaked in water."
"Master Wu, we have marinated fruit pulp last year, when you go back, take some back to taste."
"Where is the need to wait until we go back? Isn't it over now to take it out and soak it in water? Go find it and let the two adults have a taste."
The people of the long-tail tribe enthusiastically search for the marinated fruit pulp last year.
They soaked the pulp in boiling water, added insect honey and served it for Baiwu and Nanyao to taste.
Nan Yao usually drinks this stuff, but only rarely.
It was the first time to drink Baiwu, so he smelled it first, and it really smelled like lemon grapefruit.
If anything, the smell is somewhere in between.
Anyway, it smells fresh.
Bai Wu blew on the hot water in the cup, and took a sip carefully. The taste was slightly salty, slightly sour, and sweet with insect honey.
In this era of few drinks, it tasted really good. His eyes lit up, he looked at the Long-tailed people, and gave him a thumbs up.
An old Asian orc man from the Long-tail tribe smiled at them honestly, "Drinking this stuff is good for your health, you should drink more."
"Thank you." Bai Wu took another sip and praised, "It's really delicious."
The people of the Changwei tribe have been peeling the fruit. After the meal is ready, everyone temporarily put down the stone dates in their hands to eat.
Today's dinner is stewed mutton with date meat, which contains three ingredients: date meat, lamb, and coarse salt. After cooking, the taste is very good, soft and slightly sour, and it is delicious when eaten with green roots.
Bai Wu ate two large plates in one go, until her belly was full.
No wonder the people of the Longtail tribe are so concerned about Hezao.
After eating, Bai Wu picked up a few date pits, "Can I take some date pits back to the tribe to plant?"
Juan Erdao: "Of course, you can take as much as you want, it's useless anyway."
"Why is it useless, can't the nuts inside be eaten?"
"Nuts? We haven't had much of that."
Bai Wu looked at the Changwei clan in surprise, and then at the fruit stone in his hand.
Logically speaking, with such a large core, one must break open to see if the nuts inside can be eaten, otherwise it would be a waste.
Thinking of this, Bai Wu put the fruit core next to her ear and shook it.
This fruit core is very heavy, and you can't hear any sound when you shake it next to your ear. It feels like a solid iron ball.
Bai Wu feels that the nuts inside must be huge.
He was very interested in finding a stone on the ground, and wanted to break open the core on the spot to see if the nuts inside could be eaten.
The people of the Changwei tribe were very curious about the appearance of the nut, and they also found him various stones with interest.
The fruit core is indeed like an iron ball, Bai Wu used several stones in a row, but the stones were smashed and the core was not broken.
He stared at the fruit core with wide eyes, with a look of seeing a ghost.
Nan Yao took the stone in his hand, "I'll knock it."
Nanyao's strength was much stronger, and it took a little time to finally break open the fruit core.
The core is very large, but the nuts inside are not that big, at most about the size of a table tennis ball.
The shell of this core is really too thick.
Bai Wu held the tender nut, "Can I eat this?"
Nan Yao sniffed, "I haven't seen anyone eat it, so be careful."
An old man from the long-tailed tribe said beside him: "You can eat it, but the taste is just the same. We have eaten it before."
Bai Wu broke off a small piece, looked at it in front of her eyes, and then threw it into her mouth.
There is a layer of fruit coating on the outside of the nut, which tastes a bit bitter, but the nut itself has no taste, crisp and raw, with a little sweetness, and it tastes a bit like tender peanuts.
Bai Wu peeled off the outer layer of fruit with her fingernails, and tasted another piece, this time the nuts looked more like tender peanuts.
Bai Wu picked a piece for Nan Yao and asked him to taste it.
Nan Yao's expression remained unchanged, and he seemed to have no feeling for the nut.
The Baiwu was eaten by the Changwei people.
The people of the long tail tribe also say that it is delicious, but not to the extent of liking it.
Bai Wu said: "I also think it's quite delicious. It's too wasteful to throw the nuts here."
Juan Er smiled wryly, "It's not that you can't eat it. In order to eat such a small amount of nuts, you have to spend so much effort, and you have to accidentally drop it on your hand. It's not worth it."
Bai Wu didn't think of this reason, "Does your tribe have stone pound? Crush it and eat it."
"Yes, but I guess the effect will not be very good."
Bai Wu didn't believe in that evil, so he put such a big nut there, and he didn't eat it until he didn't eat it. I'm really sorry for his discovery.
He took a group of Changwei people to look for Shichong, and it happened that the people of the Changwei people could eat the pulp and saved a lot of stones.
They put the core directly into the stone pound, and they can start pounding.
Bai Wu originally thought that after having the stone pound, they would be able to eat the nuts in it soon, but he didn't expect that a group of people worked hard around the stone pound for a long time, and they didn't smash any of them.
Their hands turned red from the reaction.
Juan Er said: "Forget it, there are so many fruits out there, and there are not so many nuts to eat, let's stop tossing."
"I don't believe in that evil. I will definitely find a way. You continue to eat the pulp and leave the core to me. I don't want yours for nothing. I will exchange them with soap."
"What's the use of soap? Take it if you want it, we don't need it anyway."
The people of the long-tail tribe only want the pulp, not the core.
When Bai Wu wanted it, they packed the cores and sent them to Bai Wu's home.
Bai Wu and Nan Yao continued to make inspections. They thanked the people of the Changwei tribe and continued on their journey.
Soon, Bai Wu discovered that the jujube is not a unique thing in the territory of the Changwei tribe. The neighboring tribes have this kind of fruit, and everyone has the habit of picking this kind of fruit and eating the pulp, but no one eats the nuts. .
In their words, there are a lot of fruits in the wild now, and there is no need to compete with this kind of hard small fruit, and they can't even compete with them. They can't open it at all.
Bai Wu didn't believe in that evil, he carried a basket of fruit cores with him, and tried various methods on the road to try to open the cores.
These methods include but are not limited to boiling the fruit core in a pot, simmering it on a fire, and roasting it directly on the fire. No matter which method is used, there is no way to easily break the fruit shell.
He also tried to throw it into the fire and burn it directly to see if it could explode.
Unexpectedly, the fire directly burned these kernels into charcoal balls. The kernels inside have been charred, and the shells on the outside are still there.
Bai Wu was very convinced.
Nan Yao didn't stop him from doing anything, but accompanied him to process the fruit stones.
In the end, Nan Yao saw that he really had nothing to do, and said, "It's fine if you can't handle it. As they said, there is no shortage of those few fruits. If you want, I will pick other nuts for you."
Bai Wu gritted his teeth with the fruit pits, "It's not just a few fruits, look at the tribes, they pile up the fruit pits as high as a hill, if they can find a way to use them, they are another resource."
"How to use them? Throw them into the firepit as firewood? Several tribes have already used this method."
"That's the way to use them as firewood. I want to use them as food."
Bai Wu smashed the roasted fruit pit open with a stone.
After roasting, the shell will be a little crisper, but it’s just a little bit, and it’s still very laborious to smash. After breaking open, the nuts inside are baked just right, maybe because the shell is too thick. There is a kind of dried fruit after roasting fragrance.
Bai Wu removed the outer shell of the nuts, and gave half of the nuts to Nan Yao, "Does it taste good?"
"Yes. Other nuts have a similar taste."
"The yield of other kinds of nuts is not as high as this." Bai Wu twisted the twisted nuts, "Besides serving as snacks, have you noticed that it contains a lot of oil?"
As Bai Wu said, he spread out his hands to show Nan Yao his oily fingers, and he could squeeze out a lot of oil with a light twirl.
"You want to extract oil?"
"If possible, it would be nice to be able to extract oil."
The oil they eat now mainly comes from two sources, one is animal oil and the other is fruit oil.
Animal oil accounts for more than 80.00% of their daily edible oil, and fruit oil is mainly autumn fruit oil, which is mainly used to moisturize the skin, and the rest is used for eating.
Among the nine major tribes of the Niao people, stir-frying is not yet popular, and they don't add extra oil when stewing.
Therefore, everyone is not very short of oil, and has no obsession with oil.
Bai Wu just looked at these nuts and felt that it was a pity that there was no way to waste them.
If this kind of nuts can be fried into oil, they will have another stable source of cooking oil, which would be great.
Nuts are originally waste, and if they are fried into oil, there are not many more processes.
Bai Wu kept trying to find a way on the road.
They went out for more than a week, their heads were empty, and they still couldn't think of any solution.
When he went back, he was so depressed that his eyebrows drooped.
Seeing him like this, An asked Nanyao dejectedly, "What happened to you when you went out? Why does Wu have such an expression?"
"Wu wants to eat the nuts inside the core."
"I said, no wonder several tribes gave us so many fruit cores, we can eat as much as we want, and the stone can be opened by knocking on the side a few more times, even I can knock it open."
Bai Wu said weakly: "Whisper, please go a little farther away? You can knock it open, how many times do you need to knock it open?"
"Ten times or eight times, we still have a hammer at home.
