Bai Wu and An excitedly returned home with a full load of fish on their backs.

When Chuan saw the figures of the two, he came up to him, "Why did you come back so late? Your father went out to look for you just now. What happened to this piece of mud? Did it fall into the water?"

"Yafu, don't worry about the mud, come and see my back basket!"

"Why do you carry the basket? Hey, where are there so many fish? Are the fish still alive?"

"This is just a part. There are still two baskets at the priest's side, and he will send them to us later."

Before Bai Wu finished speaking, Nanyao had already rushed over with huge wings, and changed back into a human form to greet Chuan when he landed.

Chuan was a little cautious.

Bai Wu put away the basket, went to pour water from the jug by the fire pond, gulped down two big bowls of water, and poured water for his brother and Nanyao with a new bowl, "Aren't you tired? Rest first .”

"Yes, rest quickly, I will deal with these fish. There are so many fish, enough to make a lot of smoked fish."

Bai Wu hurriedly stopped, "Yafu, the big fish is too big, the small one is too small, it's not good for smoked fish, wait for me to deal with it."

"What can you do without smoked fish?"

"Pick up the small fish and dry some fish? Pick two from the big fish to make smoked fish, and make the rest into fish balls."

Bai Wu roughly explained what fish balls are and how to make them in the blank eyes of his father and brother.

There is a stone pound outside the kitchen of Baiwu's house.

It was given by the tribe when they moved.

This stone pound is big and heavy, with a big wooden pole and a base. When they use it, they sit on the wooden pole and press down one by one, just like making a seesaw. It is fun and convenient.

Bai Wu liked to use this stone pestle.

"I don't know how to make fish balls. I'll do it. You can get it."

"Na Yafu, please help me kill the fish first. Cut off the head of the fish, and cut out two pieces of fish meat along the spine. I will come out after taking a shower to deal with it."

Nan Yao said to Bai Wu: "You go, I'll take care of you."

Chuan hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop it, "Master Priest, you rest, we will fix it."

An smiled, "Yafu, you guys do it together? There are so many fish, if you don't finish it quickly, the priest will be hungry."

Chuan raised his hand and knocked on An's back, "How can this bother Mr. Priest?"

Kishi twisted and slid sideways like a fish, releasing Chuan's force on his back, "You guys discuss it. Wu and I will go take a bath together."

The weather was not too cold, so the brothers took soap and clothes and went to the river to wash.

The river has a lot of water and a wide area, so it is more convenient to wash in the river.

Bai Wu worked outside for a day, his body was covered in mud and sweat, he soaped and rubbed the rough leaves vigorously, the scrub was refreshing, with a faint fragrance of cool vanilla, and he went home with An.

When they returned home, Mo had already returned and was guarding a large wooden basin to process fish.

Nan Yao was handling the fish by another big tub.

The fish meat in the two large wooden basins was almost the same.

Nan Yao raised his head to look at Bai Wu, his hands kept moving.

Seeing his flowing movements, Bai Wu quietly gave him a thumbs up.

Great.

It is indeed the most powerful orc in the entire bird orc territory.

With a smile in Nan Yao's eyes, he lowered his head and went to process the fish again.

"We're back." Bai Wu hurriedly said before his father nagged, "Father, have you seen the fish we brought back, isn't it particularly powerful?"

Mo Dao: "Where did you catch so many fish?"

"It's in the stream. Hey, are you hungry? I'll go prepare pickled fish first."

Baiwu got into the kitchen, and with the help of the fire from the firepit, he swiftly cut up a large pot of scallion and ginger and brought out the fish first, then brought the scallion and ginger out.

"Brother, come out with a clean wooden basin and pound fish with me."

"Come on!" An ran to the stone pound with a wooden basin, "Should the fish be cooked into porridge if it is rotten?"

"You can drink it if you want, but I'm not using it to cook porridge today. Come on, I put fish in it."

Bai Wu put twenty pieces of cut fish into the stone pound in one breath. Seeing that the stone pound was only half full, he added a few more, grabbed a handful of onion and ginger, scooped two spoonfuls of salt, and signaled to the bank, "Brother, you can pound it." gone."

An sits on the wooden bar of the stone pounder and begins to pound it one by one.

Bai Wu seized the opportunity and flipped through it from time to time.

Soon, the fish that was put down became minced fish.

Bai Wu scooped the minced fish into the wooden basin, signaling to come back again.

The two brothers cooperated tacitly, and after a while, more than half of the pot of minced fish was pounded out.

After Chuan and Mo had cut the fish, they came over to help pound the minced fish.

Bai Wu took An to the kitchen to light a fire and boil water.

The water boiled, and he sat in front of the big earthenware pot with a spoon, holding a handful of fish meat, squeezed and scooped it, and a spherical fish ball successfully fell into the water.

Kishi's eyes widened beside him, "Can it still be like this?"

"Why can't you? Brother, watch it carefully, take out the fish balls after they are boiled, don't overcook them."

Kishi nodded vigorously!

Bai Wu's family took Nan Yao together and worked hard for half the night before finishing all the fish.

Bai Wu Put the fish head and fish spine on a clay pot, add ginger and spring onions, fry over low heat, and then pour boiling water.

After the water boils, put the fish balls in and cook.

"Come, come, eat fish balls and drink fish ball soup first, with chopped green onion next to it, if you can eat chopped green onion, add it yourself, if you can't eat it, don't add it."

Bai Wu scooped up the soup for everyone. After scooping out the soup, put a steamer on top of the earthenware pot. On the steamer were the fish fillets marinated with bird eggs, green onions and ginger, mixed with pickled shallots, and a piece of animal oil. .

The soup is boiled in the pot, and the fish fillets are just steamed by the steam of the soup.

perfect.

"It's delicious!"

When Baiwu put the steamer, Kishi couldn't wait to take a sip of the fish soup. At this time, his face was full of surprise, "It's not fishy at all, and it's still very sweet!"

Hearing what he said, Bai Wu picked up the bowl and blew on it, and took a sip of the fish ball soup, squinting his eyes to taste it slowly.

The fish head and fish loin are fried in animal oil, adding a little more mellowness. The fish soup is thick, white and delicious. After adding chopped green onions, the taste is richer than traditional fish soup.

Bai Wu added another fish ball.

The fish balls are freshly pounded, full of meat, without any starch, taste very springy and sweet, tender and fresh, much tastier than fish.

Especially now that it is eaten while it is hot, the taste is simply amazing.

Bai Wu looked up and exhaled, and said vaguely: "It's so hot, so fresh!"

Kishi Kuang nodded, "That's right! I want another bowl!"

"Eat the fish meat first, the fish meat should be steamed."

Kishi couldn't wait to open the lid of the pot.

The fish in the steamer was already cooked, turning from translucent to white and slightly curled.

Bai Wu greeted everyone, "Hurry up, eat it while it's hot. My lord priest, you're welcome, I steamed it specially for you."

"Thank you." Nan Yao stretched out the bowl and took the fish that Chuan gave him with a male spoon.

The fish meat is white and tender, covered with a layer of thick soup.

Nanyao tasted it. The first taste was the sour, fragrant and salty taste of the onion, followed by the tenderness of the fish. With a slight sip, the fish melted, and all the flavors mixed together to form a complex delicious taste.

This fish dish unexpectedly fits Nan Yao's taste.

Nanyao looked at Bai Wu, who was smiling at him with a bit of complacency on his face.

A large pot of fish ball soup and a large plate of fish were eaten by five people.

In the end, Kishi held his stomach and hiccupped.

As the night was getting dark, Bai Wu found out the clean back basket at home, pulled out a handful of weeds beside it as a brush, quickly brushed the back basket with water from the tank, and poured most of the fish balls into the back basket with a "squeak". in the basket.

An stared at the basket of fish balls eagerly, "Shall we make fish balls this winter?"

"Okay. The fish in winter are fatter, so we can block up a few more streams and catch enough. I just don't know if there will be more animal meat. If there is more, we can make some meatballs."

"It must be a lot! Xi and the others also said that when they went to dig out the rat food two days ago, they saw a lot of prey."

"Get out the rat food?" Bai Wu was puzzled, "What do you mean?"

"It's the food of the grain mouse. The grain mouse has a very bad memory. It likes to hoard grain and often forgets it. Everyone likes to take a hoe to dig out the food for the mouse in autumn when the food it hides is still fresh."

"As long as you smell the entrance of the cave and you can't smell the grain mouse, you can dig it out. Its smell can stay for half a month, and you can't smell it at all, which means it hasn't come for half a month, so it must be forgotten."

Bai Wu didn't expect this kind of operation, "Whenever you go to dig out next time, I will go too."

"I'll ask them, they will probably still go to pick it up in the next few days."

"Remember to take me with you."

Bai Wu packed the fish balls, put the lid on the basket, put the basket on his back and went outside to find Nanyao, "My lord priest, you can take these fish balls home and eat them. You can boil them in water or add them to the broth. You can also bake them." Okay, just remember to brush some oil on it."

"No, I've already eaten tonight, you guys eat."

"If you need it, I'll give it to you. Yafu, my father, I'll give it to you, Mr. Priest."

When Nanyao had no time to refuse, Bai Wu pulled him to stand up, walked towards the side of the mountain, and lowered his voice, "Don't you don't cook? When you're lazy, just cook some fish balls in the pot, even salt You don’t need to put it any more, it won’t be difficult to eat.”

Nan Yao still refused.

Bai Wu forced the back basket into Nan Yao's hands, "I took so many things from you, you don't even want fish balls, I feel uneasy."

Only then did Nan Yao accept the fish balls, "Are you going to collect rat food tomorrow?"

"what happened?"

"There are very few grasslands in the territory of the Bai people. No matter the orcs or the sub-orcs, anyone who sees a grain hole that doesn't smell like a grain mouse will dig it out. It's useless for you to go there, and you won't get any grain."

Bai Wu didn't get angry when he threw cold water on him, "I'm sure I can collect other things on the way, so let's go and play."

"If you want to play, you can go to the Changwei tribe. Tomorrow, I will go to inspect the grassland west of the Changwei tribe. There is a lot of rat food there. That place is far away from the Changwei tribe's tribe, and there is no special prey. The Changwei tribe People basically don’t go there.”

"what?"

"Didn't you teach the major tribes to weave? You can go to the entire territory of the bird orcs. It just so happens that there are fewer people and more food in that place. Why don't you try?"

Bai Wu thought with a "ding" in his head, and his eyes lit up, "I'd forget about it if you didn't mention it. So you want to take me to the long-tail tribe's territory to dig out rat food?"

"I can take you there by the way, if you want to go."

"I want to go!"

"You prepare an extra basket tomorrow, come to me early, and we will set off before the sun rises."

"No problem! It happens that there are a lot of fish balls today, so I'll bring some more fish balls for lunch tomorrow."

The two agreed.

Bai Wu went back excitedly.

When Kishi heard about it, he asked, "Are you going to pick it up by yourself?"

"My lord priest, take me there."

"My lord priest definitely doesn't want it, I will give it all to you. Oh, I want to go too."

"Hey, you can't go. I have taught other tribes how to weave before I can go hunting and gathering in other tribes. That's all right, go to sleep, you have to get up early tomorrow."

Bai Wu told An to go to sleep, and ran back to the room by herself, bolted the door and fell on the bed, wrapped in a quilt and fell asleep happily.

Early the next morning, he asked his father and brother to water the vegetables to feed the sheep, etc. He simply ate two mouthfuls of cold noodles, stacked the two baskets on his back, picked them up and ran away.

He flew to the mountain to find Nan Yao.

Nan Yao looked like he was about to go out too.

The two just collided.

"Morning!" Bai Wu was full of energy, "Have you finished your breakfast yet? We'll leave after we finish."

"What if you haven't finished eating?"

"I'll make it for you if you haven't finished eating! Where's your clay pot?"

"Don't do it, finish eating, let's go."

"okay."

Bai Wu followed Nan Yao, waiting for him to transform into a beast before flying with him.

With the wind belt rolled up by Nanyao, he can save a lot of effort.

Before Nan Yao turned into a beast, he turned to look at him, "Are you cold?"

"Okay?" Bai Wu rubbed his arms, "Today seems to be a bit colder than yesterday, and it won't be cold when I change back into a beast shape and fly."

"Next time, bring an extra animal skin robe and put it in the back basket, and wear it when it's cold."

"Got it, hurry up, let's go!"

Nan Yao flew very fast.

With the help of his light, Bai Wu also flew very fast.

The two arrived at the grassland of the Changwei tribe in the morning.

Bai Wu fell down and turned back into a human form to look around.

There may be a lack of water here, the mountains are bare and grass is bare, and the ground is also bare grass.

Because autumn is coming, most of these grasses have started to turn yellow, and it looks a bit bleak in the autumn wind.

Bai Wu sniffed, trying to distinguish the smell in the air.

He identified it for a long time, but he couldn't identify anything except the cold wind he inhaled.

Bai Wu turned her head, "What should I do now? First look for the grain mouse's hole on the grassland?"

"That's one way."

"What about the second way?"

"Follow me."

That's ok, it's a fake.

Bai Wu was dumbfounded.

Nan Yao tilted his head, "Aren't you following?"

"Here we come!" Bai Wu stepped forward quickly, "Do you know where there are grain rats?"

"Just saw a few grain rat holes in the sky."

Bai Wu shut her mouth, with envy written all over her face.

When he was flying in the sky, if he stared at the grass for a while, his eyes would feel dazzled, and he would feel sleepy.

Seeing a fly a thousand meters away, even if he became a bird orc, would never happen to him.

Nan Yao quickly led him to the first hole and said to him, "Let's dig."

Bai Wu looked at the hole not much bigger than a fist under the knee-high grass, "Is there rat food underneath?"

"pretty close."

Bai Wu dug down the dubious ground with a stone hoe.

The soil here is sandy, relatively soft, and there are no gnarled tree roots or hard stones underneath, so it doesn't take too much effort to dig.

Bai Wu is also very strong now, and after digging for more than a minute, he dug a passage more than two meters long.

At the end of the passage is a dry earth cave with smooth mud walls.

At this moment, more than half of the hole is stuffed with various nuts, grass seeds, plant roots and other foods that can be stored for a long time in this hole of less than one square meter.

Most of these foods are on Baiwu's recipes.

Without saying a word, Bai Wu tilted the basket on his back and planed the food into the basket with his hands.

This hole is filled with a small half of the basket.

Bai Wu looked at the big dry and smooth hole left after digging the food, "I feel the joy of robbing rich people."

"Ok?"

"I mean, the grain mouse is too powerful, right? There's only so much food in this one hole!"

"This is not too much. Once they save, they will have enough food for the whole winter. Let's go and find the next one."

"Okay. You go first!"

Bai Wu bent down and made a gesture of invitation, beckoning Nanyao to go forward with joy.

Nan Yao took another look at him.

Bai Wu showed a bright smile, didn't care about his strange gaze at all, and followed behind him.

Nan Yao was very familiar with this grassland, it was like the back garden of his home, and he easily led Baiwu to the grain mouse holes one after another.

There are grain rats living in some rat holes, and they don't dig such holes.

There were also some rat holes that didn't hide much food after they were dug, or they had already been taken by other animals, so they didn't leave much for them.

Bai Wu was in high spirits and full of energy.

Digging grain mouse holes, every one dug is a lottery.

By the time they had lunch, they had dug up two and a half baskets of food.

Some of these roots taste really good.

Baiwu simply peeled some roots and cooked soup with fish balls.

Bai Wu has the habit of taking a nap.

He was too excited today, he forced himself to lie down, closed his eyes, his mind was in a mess, and he couldn't fall asleep at all.

He simply sat up and said to Nan Yao: "I'll watch over you to sleep for a while, and we'll dig when we wake up."

"Don't watch, I'll wake up myself if something happens."

"I can not sleep."

Nan Yao looked at him for a while, "Then get up and continue digging, finish digging early and go back sooner."

"That's fine. If I go back early, I'll pick out the stems in the basket to see if they can be used as seeds. I'll go to the riverside to plow the land and plant them, and I'll have something to eat in winter."

The two continued to dig out the rat food.

After digging so many holes, Bai Wu was excited, but he was still tired. When digging holes, he didn't have enough energy and his aim was not so good.

When the two of you hoeed and I hoeed, when they dug into the hole, Bai Wu dug with the hand holding the hoe, "cracked", and the hoe went directly into the grain mouse hole, and dug up several stems stored inside. root.

"Ah!" Bai Wu yelled regretfully, squatting down to see what was broken.

Nan Yao comforted him, "If it's broken, it's broken, put it in the back basket first, and eat it tonight."

"It can only be this way."

Bai Wu knelt down, picked up the dug up rhizome and threw it into the basket with distress.

Green root, green root, tumor fruit, green root, egg fruit...Huh?

Bai Wu held the sixth cut off stem in his hand, with a confused expression on his face, he put the stem under his nose and smelled it, a familiar smell filled his whole nasal cavity.

Nan Yao asked, "What's wrong?"

Bai Wu squatted on the spot, "I seem to have found a carrot?!"
