After entering the bird tribe, I want to farm
Chapter 51 Salad
Nanyao's den was quiet.
Bai Wu fell to the ground and turned back into a human form, but there was still no movement at all.
Logically speaking, when Bai Wu flew close to the mountain, Nan Yao would feel his presence and come out to look for him. There was only one possibility for such a quiet situation——Nan Yao was not at home.
Bai Wu had an ominous premonition in his heart.
He called out, "Nan Yao?"
The only answer to him was the whirring of the wind.
"It's not true that you're not at home, is it?" Bai Wu stood there for a moment, then walked towards his nest hesitantly.
Nan Yao always had a faint scent on him. Generally speaking, if he was in the nest, this smell would be very, very obvious.
Now the smell in the nest is still there, but it is already very shallow.
It seems that Nanyao has been away from the nest for a long time.
Recently, Bai Wu has been sticking to him almost every day, and he is not used to seeing him suddenly.
He stood in front of Nanyao's den for a while, unable to tell where Nanyao had gone.
Nan Yao's range of activities is much larger than his.
Bai Wu sat in front of Nanyao's nest and waited for a while, his mind was full of random thoughts.
The sun moved from east to west one by one, and the Nanyao nest was still quiet.
Bai Wu felt that he couldn't wait for anyone, so he could only fly back to Xingwang Valley and continue tidying up the livestock shed.
He was a little depressed, and he worked slowly. He didn't tidy up the livestock barn until the sun went down, and flew home slowly.
When he came home, his father and brother were already at home.
As soon as Kishi saw him, he waved to him, "Come here quickly and eat the candied fruit."
"what?"
"It's the fruit of winter! Today we found a large piece of honey, but it's a pity that you are not here, or our family can share some more."
Kishi said as he pulled out several potato-like fruits from the firepit, and rolled one of them to Baiwu.
Bai Wu picked it up from the ground, and felt his fingertips burn when he touched it.
"Hahaha, are you stupid? How can you take the fruit you just pulled out of the fire with your hands?"
Bai Wu pinched her earlobe with her hot red hands, "Where did you find the fruit today?"
"It's close to the Qing tribe. You know there is a Waterfall Mountain there, right? We found it in the Waterfall Mountain. It's a huge area. We haven't finished digging it yet. We'll continue to dig next year."
The weather was too cold, and when they were talking, it was almost cold.
Bai Wu picked up the honey from the ground, peeled off the yellow-brown outer skin, and inside was a yellow fruit sac.
Bite down lightly, Bai Wu looked down, the inside of the fruit sac was indeed in a state of runny heart, if he hadn't immediately changed the angle of the fruit sac, the runny heart would flow out.
Bai Wu quickly licked it with her mouth.
The scorching hot heart made him "hiss" and sucked in a breath of cool air.
"Say you are stupid, you are really stupid, can you eat this sloppy honey in such a hurry? Let me see. Is it too hot?"
"Not at all." Bai Wu blocked his brother's hand and continued to gnaw on the fruit, "Aside from succulent honey, what else do you gain today?"
"It's all piled up in baskets. The grass and trees outside are all withered in winter, and there's nothing good to buy. We won't go out for the next two days, and we'll wait until the snow melts. Wu, tomorrow we're going back to the village to extract autumn fruit oil. are you going?"
A surprised expression appeared on Bai Wu's face, "Haven't the autumn fruit oil been squeezed yet?"
"This is the second batch. The people in the tribe picked a little more. When everyone didn't want to go out, they simply fried the autumn fruit oil."
"Okay, I'll go with you tomorrow. Yafu, daddy, too?"
Chuan smiled and said, "I'm going. There's not much autumn fruit oil at home, so squeeze some together with everyone. Your father is still a warrior in the tribe. You have to do this kind of heavy work with everyone."
"Since it's hard work, let's eat meat tomorrow morning. I'll stew it, add some clam juice, and fry it with garlic sprouts after stewing. In addition, some noodles and yogurt."
Kishi listened to his detailed description and gulped.
"By the way, is Lord Priest in the nest? If you want to be, send him some tomorrow morning."
Mo Dao: "I saw him flying north early in the morning. I heard that something happened to the long-legged clan. My lord priest went to check."
Bai Wu asked: "Long-legged family, isn't it true that they won't be able to come back within two or three days?"
"Hard to say."
"Then there is no need to prepare his portion tomorrow."
When Bai Wu got the news he wanted, his mood became even more depressed.
In the evening, the family didn't have a big meal, they only ate a few sloppy honey and grilled bacon.
After eating, everyone washed up and went back to their rooms to sleep.
Bai Wu went to bed early and woke up early, and got up very early the next day to cook.
Nan Yao wasn't there, so he didn't make much of a fuss about cooking.
Yesterday Mo brought back fresh animal meat.
The meat is more fishy and firewood. Baiwu is stewed with Houttuynia cordata and Jiji grass early in the morning.
While the meat was stewed, he went to the barn, fed the animals and had to clean up the manure.
Otherwise, in such a cold day, there will be water and dung in the livestock shed, and the livestock will easily get sick.
After finishing the work on the side of the barn, the whole family has already finished their work and returned.
"Woo, the fish is in the bucket. Did you eat fish this morning? I haven't eaten fish for a long time."
"Want to eat?"
"I kind of want to drink fish soup."
"Then I'll pick two more delicious fish, and take the rest to the back of the house to freeze."
When it snows, the outside is a natural refrigerator.
It is much more convenient for Baiwu and others to store food, and they don't need to spend a lot of effort to smoke, roast and dry.
Today's breakfast is also very simple, a stew, a fish soup, and a few roasted fruits.
The whole family flew to the tribe after eating.
Their house is a bit far from the tribe, and it is not a pleasant experience to fly there in winter.
As an orc, Mo flew in the front.
He rolled up the wind belt so that his partner and son could fly with the wind belt and save some effort.
When they arrived at the tribe, the tribe was already very lively, with human voices everywhere.
Everyone didn't go out today, and stayed in the tribe to work.
Orcs, sub-orcs.
The elderly, adults, children.
No matter who they are, after the past, they can quickly integrate into the group they belong to.
"San, Wu, this way."
Just as Bai Wu took out the boots from the basket on his back and put them on, before he could stand still, he heard someone calling them.
Bai Wu looked up, and the person who stopped them was a young sub-orc man, who was their partner who often went out to collect with them.
"Shen!" An happily pulled Bai Wu over, "Why did everyone come so early today?"
"There are a lot of autumn fruits picked this year. Everyone said that when the weather is good, after the oil is squeezed out, you can exchange it with animal oil and autumn fruit oil."
The autumn fruit oil has the unique taste of vegetable oil, but the taste is not too heavy.
In fact, animal oil also has a fishy smell, and some animal oils are no better than vegetable oils.
Changing to one more tanker, Baiwu feels pretty good.
Fuka and Kishi spoke in front.
Bai Wu followed behind.
He took a deep breath, the aroma of nut oil filled his lungs.
The outer shell of the autumn fruit must be peeled off first, then the nuts are pounded into pieces, and then fried in a large pottery pot. After the frying is completed, the nuts have to be wrapped with grass into a cake shape, and then put into a special stone mortar pressure.
The steps are very complicated.
If the whole tribe didn't come together, these steps alone would be enough to torment people.
The young sub-orcs have no skills, and they are responsible for peeling nuts with the children.
Bai Wu sat among the crowd, basking in the sun, prying out the nuts one by one with a stone.
This step is not complicated, and it won't cause hand pain. The sub-beasts chat together while working.
Bai Wu asked casually: "I heard that something happened to the long-legged clan, do you have any news?"
"You don't know? It seems that a lot of fish and seabirds died by the sea in the territory of the Long-legs tribe. They couldn't find out what happened, so they came here overnight to invite the priest."
Bai Wu: "Could it be that the weather was too cold and he froze to death?"
"I don't know, shouldn't it be? If they were frozen to death, they wouldn't rush over to invite someone."
Bai Wu's hand stopped, "Wouldn't that be dangerous?"
"The priest is here, what danger can there be?"
The sub-orcs didn't care about another tribe far away by the sea, nor did they care much about what the priest was doing.
They quickly turned the conversation to decorations and food.
Bai Wu was silently working on the side.
After a while, the autumn fruit squeezed out the oil.
The freshly squeezed oil is very fragrant and in barrels, like dark honey.
The autumn fruits on the sub-beast people's side were all peeled, and everyone dispersed, either to help the elders, or to play with friends.
Bai Wu was not in high spirits, neither wanted to work nor play, and sat in the corner basking in the sun with a sleepy expression.
He was warm and comfortable in the sun, when suddenly a shadow cast on him, blocking all the sunlight, and he became cool all of a sudden.
He woke up instantly, looked up, and it was their patriarch Ya standing in front of him.
"Patriarch." Bai Wu raised his face lazily, "Why are you here?"
"Come here and talk to you. You moved to the top of the mountain, are you still in the habit of living?"
It was rare for Bai Wu to see him so gentle, and scratched his head, "I'm used to it. Although we moved to live on a small hill, we still gather and hunt together, and there's nothing we're not used to."
"That's good. You can come to me if you need anything."
"Understood, if something really happens, I will definitely not be polite to you then."
Ya made a "hmm".
The two were relatively speechless.
Bai Wu smiled, and took the initiative to start the conversation, "Thank you for the baa-baa animals. They are growing up now. When we celebrate the beginning of spring, our family will kill livestock. Then you will come to eat together."
"I heard what Yazu said. Speaking of this, as the weather gets colder and colder, people don't go out so often, and even if they go out, it is more difficult to cut hay...Have you stocked up enough hay for the livestock to eat in winter?"
"It shouldn't be too much difference. I specially built a straw shed to store fodder. If it doesn't work, we can kill some of the livestock."
After Bai Wu asked Mo to carry wild boar meat to the tribe last time, the tribe would bring some forage with them every day when they came back from hunting and gathering, and help him throw it into the forage basket placed in Xingwanggu.
Half of the Baiwu family's livestock were raised with the help of the clan members.
He had previously planned to kill at least two pigs and one sheep during the Chinese New Year, and he would invite the whole clan to have a meal of slaughtered pigs.
If there is not enough fodder, their family will kill a little earlier, and there should be no big problem.
Thinking of this, Bai Wu thought of Nan Yao again.
If Nanyao was still in the nest, he would ask Nanyao to scrape some fat grass seeds and plant them in the valley to supplement the forage. The livestock would never be short of forage.
Bai Wu lost his mind while talking.
Ya stood in front of him, "I'll get busy first."
"Okay." Bai Wu came back to his senses, and smiled apologetically, "Shouldn't it be time to pack the autumn fruit oil? I'll go over to help too."
The autumn fruit oil has just been fried and still has a lot of impurities. It has to be placed in a tank to settle, and then poured into another tank. After several times of clarification, this batch of autumn fruit oil can be taken out for use.
This is also a job with no technical content, and Bai Wu can also do it. He stood up and stretched his waist, and when he saw the orcs taking out the oil cakes from the stone mortar, he stopped suddenly.
Ya was beside him, watching him stop suddenly, "What?"
"Patriarch, last time you squeezed the autumn fruit oil, where did you put the remaining autumn fruit residue?"
"Throw it away. The rest are some slag, and there are autumn fruit shells in it. Eat it and hurt your throat."
"Why didn't I think of it?" Bai Wu patted himself on the head, and asked Ya with bright eyes, "If everyone doesn't want it, can you give me these autumn fruit residues?"
"What are you using it for?"
"Feed the livestock. People feel their throats hurt after eating it. The livestock don't dislike it. If it doesn't work, it can be used for composting. It's a good thing."
"If you really don't have enough fodder, I'll get some for you."
"Isn't it enough? I just want these autumn fruit residues. If you haven't raised livestock, you don't know that these autumn fruit residues are very good livestock food. After they eat them, they will soon become fat."
"Then—later, I'll carry it to Xingwang Valley with someone."
"Thank you patriarch! You have worked hard. When these livestock are raised, let's come and eat meat together."
Bai Wu was very happy that the livestock had a new source of food.
He mixed autumn fruit dregs with forage to feed the livestock, and the pigs, sheep and ducks all ate it very happily.
Especially a few pigs, eating the autumn fruit dregs like a bulldozer, with a big mouth, the autumn fruit dregs are gone.
Bai Wu watched them grunt and chirp happily, and once again thought about fattening the grass.
Pigs are different from sheep. Sheep eat grass and can grow meat. If pigs eat grass, they only grow tall and don't grow meat.
The pigs that Bai Wu has raised for so long, these pigs have grown into half-sized pigs, but their bodies are still slender, and they can't hold any meat.
He thought it was a wild boar breed problem before, but now that he thought about it again, when he was digging for rat food, those wild boars were not small, so they started to mutate when they came here for no reason, and it should be a food problem.
Wild boars are omnivores, and now they are only fed grass and limited kitchen waste. Without oil and water, it is difficult for them to grow.
If you can't get good things, at least get them some hogweed.
Thinking of this, Bai Wu looked forward to Nan Yao's return even more.
The Bai people are too far away from the Long-legs people. In the territory of the Bird and Beastmen, the Bai people are in the south and the Long-legs people are in the northwest.
Orcs usually fly in a straight line, and it takes three days to fly.Even Nanyao had to fly at full speed for a day.
As for the sub-orcs, no sub-orcs have ever challenged this part of the journey alone.
Even if they had to fly this distance, the sub-orcs flew along the wind of the orcs, and how fast they could fly depended on how fast the orcs flew.
Nan Yao didn't come back.
Bai Wu feels quite bored by herself, unable to get excited about doing anything.
An saw that he was not energetic, so he took him to collect with everyone.
Winter has just started, the weather is relatively warm, the snow melts quickly, and there is no ice outside, but the snow-melted ground is muddy and the weather is relatively cold, making it inconvenient to go out.
What's more inconvenient is that the trees and vines outside are basically dry and without leaves. It is difficult for them to identify the types of plants based on the branches and vines, and the difficulty of collecting them is much more difficult.
An inexperienced sub-orc man like Bai Wu went out to work for a day, made mud all over his body, and could only pick half a basket of food.
In this kind of weather, every day's harvest is not enough to fill the stomach, and most of the time people have to take some stored food.
At this time, Bai Wu's family's abundant grain storage made them feel very comfortable.
An said to Bai Wu: "Speaking of which, it is still your credit. In previous years, like everyone in the tribe, the family didn't have much food."
"In the past, I was still a little fool. I just ate and didn't work. Where did I get food?"
"That's not what it means, but apart from your rations, if we only look at the three of us, we don't have much food. The main reason is that a lot of food is not easy to store. If it is stored, it will go bad, and there is no place to store it. Everyone dare not store too much. many."
Kishi said, looking into the utility room of his home, "This year is different. This year you even built a house to store grain, and there are many pots and jars outside."
Bai Wu nodded, "Every hard work is rewarded."
An smiled, "To be honest, this year is indeed much harder than previous years, but hard work is hard work, and people are at ease in their hearts."
Bai Wu has a little understanding of this.
All his clan members are optimists. If they are full today, they will not worry about what to eat tomorrow. After all, the territory is so large, as long as they are willing to go out and look for as much as they can find some food, so everyone's enthusiasm for hoarding food is not particularly high.
For the vast majority of orcs and sub-orcs, going out to hunt and gather every day is not only to find rations but also to play. After having fun, they will fly to the tribe when the time comes.
Baiwu is different. He carefully plans the winter grain and strictly implements it.
In addition to going out to collect every day, he also raised so many livestock, milking and feeding them tirelessly every day, and then pulling fish cages.
Besides that, he has two vegetable gardens to tend.
His workload is much greater than that of anyone in the tribe, and he is often busy from morning to night without stopping for a moment.
Driven by him, the whole family also got busy, and now their family is definitely the hardest-working family in the entire tribe.
The family has been busy and tired for so long, so of course they can survive the fat winter.
Bai Wu said: "Thank you for tossing with me."
"What is there to thank the family for? It was a bit hard before. You see how good our life is now. Many people are full and hungry. Not only can we be full every meal, but we can also eat delicious food."
"Ok!"
"It's such a cold day, why don't we eat ginger and milk tonight?"
"I'll dig ginger later. In such a cold weather, the ginger probably won't grow anymore. I'll dig them all up earlier."
"I will go with you."
As soon as Nan Yao went to the long-legged clan, he went there for seven days.
Therefore, when Bai Wu saw him again, he felt as if he had passed away.
Nan Yao carried a big basket on his back and landed in front of Bai Wu's house and changed back into a human form. Seeing him standing in front of the door, he said nothing, "Why are you here?"
"You're finally back." Bai Wu came back to his senses, pinched his palm quietly, and said with a smile, "If you don't come back again, I thought you were going to retire in the long-legged clan."
"It happened suddenly. I didn't have time to tell you, but I brought you the seeds of fat grass."
Bai Wu had been looking forward to the seeds of fat grass for a long time, but now he really saw a whole basket of fat grass seeds like sesame seeds, but he didn't feel much joy in his heart.
Nan Yao paused, "I really didn't mean it, don't be angry."
"Who is angry?" Bai Wu refused to admit it.
Nan Yao said: "Are you going to plant the seeds of the fat grass now? I will accompany you to reclaim the land."
"There is no need to cultivate it. I will plant it in the Prosperous Valley. The pigs, sheep, and ducks have loosened the soil, so just scatter it."
The two spoke a few words, but the atmosphere was still tense.
Bai Wu didn't know what was wrong. He took a deep breath and began to inquire about the long-legged tribe, "Is there nothing wrong with the long-legged tribe? Why are there so many dead fish and birds all of a sudden?"
"I didn't figure it out. The sea water is not poisonous, and the fish and birds didn't die from poisoning."
"Then what should I do? Just leave it like this."
"For the time being, that's all I can do. I'll go there a few more times in the future."
"You pay attention to safety."
The two exchanged a few words, and seeing that the atmosphere became harmonious again, Bai Wu said, "I really miss you when you're not here for a few days."
"Me too."
The two looked at each other, and then laughed together after a while.
"Go, while it's still early, accompany me to Xingwang Valley and sow the seeds."
"Just throw it down like this?"
"I don't have experience with this. I've only seen Fat Grass once. You went to the Long Legs, how does their Fat Grass grow? Do you want to do something special?"
"Find a place that is relatively humid and plant it."
"Hen and Xun said the same thing. I think our Xingwang Valley is warm and humid enough, so there should be no problem. I have locked up pigs, sheep and ducks during this time, and they won't come out to make trouble."
"Ya said the fodder is not enough? I'll get some more."
"If the original feeding method is really not enough, but don't we want to spread the seeds of the fat grass now, and when the fat grass grows up, it will be no problem to feed a few more livestock."
Nan Yao came back, and Bai Wu's vitality also returned, full of energy.
In the evening, he grilled fish and birds to celebrate.
Seeing his lively appearance, An leaned against the door with folded arms, "The priest is back, you don't have to worry anymore, go out to collect with us tomorrow?"
"I don't think it will work tomorrow. Tomorrow I have to tidy up the pickled beans. I guess I won't be leaving until very late. You guys go first. When I'm done, I'll go shopping around by myself and pick something."
Bai Wu had never made miso in her previous life, and she was still trying to make it in this life.
Because of his inexperience, he now has to look at his baby Jiangdouzi every day.
When he looked at it today, he felt that it was almost done. The soy beans were sticky and sticky, and they were already a bit stringy after pulling. It should be completely fine tomorrow.
As for the fermented tofu cubes on the shelf, it may be because the temperature is too low that too many white pili have not yet grown, so we have to wait patiently for a while.
Kishi had never checked the status of the beans before. Hearing what he said, he said with interest: "Then I won't go tomorrow, I'll organize the beans with you."
"Okay, we brothers are of one mind, and our benefits can cut through gold."
Bai Wu said this sentence in Chinese.
Kishi listened and had no special reaction.
Bai Wu often said some strange words and did some strange things. The whole family is used to it. If they can understand it, they will understand it, and if they can't understand it, they will automatically skip it.
Even though he has never made bean paste before, Bai Wu also knows that when drying the sauce, he needs to use a large oil-free vat, so he specially prepared a new ceramic vat, scalded it with boiling water, and put it outside to dry.
The clay pot he used was very large.
In fact, he was afraid that he would not succeed in making bean paste this time, so he only cooked a wooden pot of beans.
The next day, Bai Wu started to work early in the morning.
He carefully rolled the big jar to the edge of the eaves, and then raised his hand to hug the bean pot.
Kishi watched from the side, and couldn't help but said, "This tank is too big, it won't be able to fill the whole wooden basin if you put it in."
"It's okay, it's the first time I'm doing it this year, if I can't fill it up, I won't be able to fill it up. If it's done successfully, I'll do it again next year with this big tank."
As Bai Wu said, he happily picked up the straw curtain above the tub.
The unique taste of soy beans came out.
Kishi took a step back and looked at the yellow and sticky beans in surprise, "These things are really edible?"
"If I succeed in making it, it will not only be edible, but it will be delicious. Come on, do me a favor and bring me the big spoon."
Baiwu's family has a large spoon for scooping up soup. One spoonful can scoop up a whole bowl of soup.
Baiwu had been specially washed with plant ash and scalded with boiling water before. It felt very porcelain to the touch, without any oily spots.
He shook off the water on the spoon, and started pulling the beans directly with the spoon.
As soon as the beans were plucked, they immediately began to be shredded, and the whole pot of beans was pulled out with yellow filaments.
Kishi watched the scene from the side, his skin got goosebumps, and he kept rubbing his arms, "Is this really edible? It doesn't look very tasty."
"Don't worry, it's really delicious. Bring me the salt shaker."
When Bai Wu poured salt into the beans, she was not polite at all, and the whole pot of salt was poured into the basin.
The first time he made soy milk, he didn't know the ratio of salt to beans, but there was nothing wrong with putting more weight in it.
The salt is too heavy, at most it is salty, just put a little less soy sauce when eating, if you put less salt, the soy sauce may smell bad.
Kishi watched him pour the whole pot of beans into the big vat, poured a whole pot of cold boiled water into it, and stirred the bean paste with a wooden spoon into a paste, which made him feel more and more unacceptable.
"This food is too weird."
Bai Wu raised her head and smiled at him.
The blended beans were just outside the utility room, covered with a dustpan.
Baiwu knows how to dry sauce.
It is probably the sun and night dew, and then stir it in the morning and evening.
This step is not complicated, just take some time to do it every day.
The bean paste has not been in the sun for a few days, and the fat grass in the valley of Baiwujia has already sprouted buds.
Bai Wu didn't expect the vitality of this plant to be so tenacious.
The cold wind was blowing outside, and fat grass the size of a fist sprouted from the entire valley.
These fat grasses stick to the ground, like small mustards that have just emerged.
He cut a basket of fat grass and went home to eat.
The newly sprouted Fat Grass is very tender and crisp, and tastes tender and delicious, and the bitterness becomes the condiment of Fat Grass.
Bai Wu was pleasantly surprised to be able to eat such fresh and moist vegetables in winter, especially green leafy vegetables.
He basically picks a basket every day, stir-fries, mixes, steams, and makes soup.
Kishi and the others could still eat a few chopsticks at the beginning, and they ate a few more times. The whole family expressed that they could not accept it. As traditional orcs and sub-orcs, everyone said that they still prefer to eat meat.
It's a pity for Bai Wu, no one likes to eat such a delicious vegetable.
He didn't force his family to eat every meal, but he still asked everyone to eat every few days.
This green vegetable can supplement vitamins and minerals, which is very good for the body, even if it is for the sake of health, you should eat more.
Not only does he let his family eat, but he also shows the spirit of unity and friendship. Every few days, he will send a whole basket to the tribe, so that everyone can eat a little.
After listening to Bai Wu's suggestion, Ya told everyone to eat at least once every five days.
Except for a few people, this slightly bitter vegetable is basically not liked by everyone.
For a moment, everyone looked at Bai Wu with resentment.
Especially kids.
When he went to the tribe before, those cubs liked to play with him very much, but now when he went to the tribe, the cubs saw him from a distance and scattered like birds and beasts.
It's funny that Bai Wu has succeeded in a prank.
This kind of green vegetable is indeed beneficial. In previous years, instead of eating fat grass, people would also eat other wild vegetables and roots to supplement vitamins, but the amount was not so sufficient.
Bai Wu heard from An that every year when winter comes, everyone has big and small blisters in their mouths, which won't heal for a long time. When they lick their tongues, they don't hurt, and everyone doesn't care.
That should be a sign of vitamin deficiency. This year, he let everyone eat so much fat and grass, and he never heard of anyone with big blisters in their mouths.
After eating it a few times, the Bai people also realized that this fat grass is really good for their health. Even if they don't like to eat it anymore, they will eat a little bit every few days.
Anyway, just take this thing as medicine, this thing is not as bitter as medicine.
Naturally, Bai Wu would never forget to share something good with Nan Yao.
It's just that Nan Yao seems to dislike fat grass even more than Bai people.
The first few times he ate the fat grass without changing his face, but after giving it a few more times, Bai Wu saw that every time he ate the fat grass, reluctance and struggle always flashed in his eyes.
"Is it that unpalatable?" Bai Wu laughed, "I've already fried it with meat, the taste should be okay."
"It's not too bad to eat, but it's just that I've eaten it many times and I'm a little tired."
A look of suspicion appeared on Bai Wu's face, "Is it really just tired of eating?"
Nan Yao was very calm, "Of course."
"Alright then, I'll find a way to develop a new way of eating."
It's pretty cold here.
Now it's winter again, and it snows every now and then.
Often the snow that fell a few days ago has not completely melted, and new snow falls again, layer by layer. As time goes by, frost is everywhere outside, and people will slip if they step on it accidentally.
Every year when it snows, it is the time when the birds and beasts are injured the most. In addition to the lively tribes, Nanyao's side is also gradually becoming lively, and there are wounded people almost every day.
Bai Wu looked incredible.
"It's okay for the wounded. When it snowed heavily in previous years, some fell to their deaths. You look at the ordinary hills. When you fall, your feet slip and you may fall into a ditch. No one finds it. People fall Go down and freeze to death."
"Don't we know how to fly? How could we still fall to our death? Even if we hit a wing, it's okay to bear the pain and fly up, right?"
"Those ditches are so small, if you change back into a beast shape, you can't move, and you can't climb up in a human shape, wouldn't you fall to your death? Let me tell you, don't go out alone in winter, you can go anywhere." You want to call me, you know?"
Kishi said a lot, just to say the last sentence.
Bai Wu looked into his brother's worried eyes and nodded, "I have enough food at home. In such a cold day, I won't go out and cook something at home."
"what do you want to do?"
"Let's make a send bucket, it's too difficult for us to send something now."
There are many bird eggs in Baiwu, and there were many before. Recently, he specially asked his family to search carefully, and found more bird eggs.
Now the house is big, and there are a lot of bird eggs. There are already five baskets.
Except for the salted eggs that have been pickled with white wu for too long in the month, the five baskets of bird eggs are all fresh bird eggs. If they are placed there, they may not be eaten all winter.
There are so many eggs left.Bai Wu thought about making some salad dressing.
The method of making salad dressing is not complicated. The basic raw materials only need oil and egg yolk, and the most troublesome thing is the craft.
Making salad dressing requires people to spend a lot of effort to beat the egg yolk, then add oil to emulsify, and have to beat and emulsify again and again. This process is very time-consuming and laborious.
Although Bai Wu and the others are free, they don't want to waste so much time just to make some salad dressing.
He plans to make a convenient pass bucket to try.
Hearing what he said, Kishi opened his mouth, and was about to speak——
Bai Wu stepped forward, "Stop it, I know what you're going to say, I can't explain what salad dressing is, you'll know when I make it."
"you……"
"What is a send bucket, I also can't explain it."
After being blocked twice in a row, Kishi angrily said, "Why do you always take my word for it?"
"It's not that I want to grab your words, it's that I know what you want to say, so I'll tell you in advance. Help me get the stone ax here. If you have time, help me get this wooden barrel."
"What will it be like?"
"Just dig a hole here. You can dig out slowly according to the picture I drew, so as not to crack the barrel."
Although Kishi sat down to help, he was not a patient person. After helping for a while, he threw the ax away impatiently and went to watch Baiwu make the fan.
Bai Wu had no choice but to take back the barrel, planning to get it slowly at night.
The most patient in their family is their father Mo.
Kishi is suitable for doing some more creative work, so that he will not be impatient.
However, the fan leaf is considered a relatively technical job, and Kishi has never done it before, and Bai Wu dare not let him do it.
Bai Wu had to do it slowly by herself.
In the evening, Nan Yao came down with two fat birds, saw him sitting by the door making buckets, and asked him what he was doing.
"I'm making a passing tool. I'm going to pass bird egg yolks into another kind of food. How did you come down in such a cold day?"
"I got a few delicious fat birds and brought them down for you to taste. Is this kind of tool difficult?"
"It's not very difficult, it's just that it takes patience to do this kind of work."
Nan Yao showed interest in his eyes, "Let me try."
Bai Wu looked at his side face, gave up a seat to the side, and patiently told him what he was going to do, what he was going to do, and what the reason was.
Nan Yao is very smart and can see through everything.
After talking for a while, the two were able to communicate normally.
Kishi watched their tacit actions from the sidelines, with an angry look on his face.
He also said that he is impatient, isn't that guy Wu the most impatient?I am impatient to say a few more words.
Humph
Bai Wu fell to the ground and turned back into a human form, but there was still no movement at all.
Logically speaking, when Bai Wu flew close to the mountain, Nan Yao would feel his presence and come out to look for him. There was only one possibility for such a quiet situation——Nan Yao was not at home.
Bai Wu had an ominous premonition in his heart.
He called out, "Nan Yao?"
The only answer to him was the whirring of the wind.
"It's not true that you're not at home, is it?" Bai Wu stood there for a moment, then walked towards his nest hesitantly.
Nan Yao always had a faint scent on him. Generally speaking, if he was in the nest, this smell would be very, very obvious.
Now the smell in the nest is still there, but it is already very shallow.
It seems that Nanyao has been away from the nest for a long time.
Recently, Bai Wu has been sticking to him almost every day, and he is not used to seeing him suddenly.
He stood in front of Nanyao's den for a while, unable to tell where Nanyao had gone.
Nan Yao's range of activities is much larger than his.
Bai Wu sat in front of Nanyao's nest and waited for a while, his mind was full of random thoughts.
The sun moved from east to west one by one, and the Nanyao nest was still quiet.
Bai Wu felt that he couldn't wait for anyone, so he could only fly back to Xingwang Valley and continue tidying up the livestock shed.
He was a little depressed, and he worked slowly. He didn't tidy up the livestock barn until the sun went down, and flew home slowly.
When he came home, his father and brother were already at home.
As soon as Kishi saw him, he waved to him, "Come here quickly and eat the candied fruit."
"what?"
"It's the fruit of winter! Today we found a large piece of honey, but it's a pity that you are not here, or our family can share some more."
Kishi said as he pulled out several potato-like fruits from the firepit, and rolled one of them to Baiwu.
Bai Wu picked it up from the ground, and felt his fingertips burn when he touched it.
"Hahaha, are you stupid? How can you take the fruit you just pulled out of the fire with your hands?"
Bai Wu pinched her earlobe with her hot red hands, "Where did you find the fruit today?"
"It's close to the Qing tribe. You know there is a Waterfall Mountain there, right? We found it in the Waterfall Mountain. It's a huge area. We haven't finished digging it yet. We'll continue to dig next year."
The weather was too cold, and when they were talking, it was almost cold.
Bai Wu picked up the honey from the ground, peeled off the yellow-brown outer skin, and inside was a yellow fruit sac.
Bite down lightly, Bai Wu looked down, the inside of the fruit sac was indeed in a state of runny heart, if he hadn't immediately changed the angle of the fruit sac, the runny heart would flow out.
Bai Wu quickly licked it with her mouth.
The scorching hot heart made him "hiss" and sucked in a breath of cool air.
"Say you are stupid, you are really stupid, can you eat this sloppy honey in such a hurry? Let me see. Is it too hot?"
"Not at all." Bai Wu blocked his brother's hand and continued to gnaw on the fruit, "Aside from succulent honey, what else do you gain today?"
"It's all piled up in baskets. The grass and trees outside are all withered in winter, and there's nothing good to buy. We won't go out for the next two days, and we'll wait until the snow melts. Wu, tomorrow we're going back to the village to extract autumn fruit oil. are you going?"
A surprised expression appeared on Bai Wu's face, "Haven't the autumn fruit oil been squeezed yet?"
"This is the second batch. The people in the tribe picked a little more. When everyone didn't want to go out, they simply fried the autumn fruit oil."
"Okay, I'll go with you tomorrow. Yafu, daddy, too?"
Chuan smiled and said, "I'm going. There's not much autumn fruit oil at home, so squeeze some together with everyone. Your father is still a warrior in the tribe. You have to do this kind of heavy work with everyone."
"Since it's hard work, let's eat meat tomorrow morning. I'll stew it, add some clam juice, and fry it with garlic sprouts after stewing. In addition, some noodles and yogurt."
Kishi listened to his detailed description and gulped.
"By the way, is Lord Priest in the nest? If you want to be, send him some tomorrow morning."
Mo Dao: "I saw him flying north early in the morning. I heard that something happened to the long-legged clan. My lord priest went to check."
Bai Wu asked: "Long-legged family, isn't it true that they won't be able to come back within two or three days?"
"Hard to say."
"Then there is no need to prepare his portion tomorrow."
When Bai Wu got the news he wanted, his mood became even more depressed.
In the evening, the family didn't have a big meal, they only ate a few sloppy honey and grilled bacon.
After eating, everyone washed up and went back to their rooms to sleep.
Bai Wu went to bed early and woke up early, and got up very early the next day to cook.
Nan Yao wasn't there, so he didn't make much of a fuss about cooking.
Yesterday Mo brought back fresh animal meat.
The meat is more fishy and firewood. Baiwu is stewed with Houttuynia cordata and Jiji grass early in the morning.
While the meat was stewed, he went to the barn, fed the animals and had to clean up the manure.
Otherwise, in such a cold day, there will be water and dung in the livestock shed, and the livestock will easily get sick.
After finishing the work on the side of the barn, the whole family has already finished their work and returned.
"Woo, the fish is in the bucket. Did you eat fish this morning? I haven't eaten fish for a long time."
"Want to eat?"
"I kind of want to drink fish soup."
"Then I'll pick two more delicious fish, and take the rest to the back of the house to freeze."
When it snows, the outside is a natural refrigerator.
It is much more convenient for Baiwu and others to store food, and they don't need to spend a lot of effort to smoke, roast and dry.
Today's breakfast is also very simple, a stew, a fish soup, and a few roasted fruits.
The whole family flew to the tribe after eating.
Their house is a bit far from the tribe, and it is not a pleasant experience to fly there in winter.
As an orc, Mo flew in the front.
He rolled up the wind belt so that his partner and son could fly with the wind belt and save some effort.
When they arrived at the tribe, the tribe was already very lively, with human voices everywhere.
Everyone didn't go out today, and stayed in the tribe to work.
Orcs, sub-orcs.
The elderly, adults, children.
No matter who they are, after the past, they can quickly integrate into the group they belong to.
"San, Wu, this way."
Just as Bai Wu took out the boots from the basket on his back and put them on, before he could stand still, he heard someone calling them.
Bai Wu looked up, and the person who stopped them was a young sub-orc man, who was their partner who often went out to collect with them.
"Shen!" An happily pulled Bai Wu over, "Why did everyone come so early today?"
"There are a lot of autumn fruits picked this year. Everyone said that when the weather is good, after the oil is squeezed out, you can exchange it with animal oil and autumn fruit oil."
The autumn fruit oil has the unique taste of vegetable oil, but the taste is not too heavy.
In fact, animal oil also has a fishy smell, and some animal oils are no better than vegetable oils.
Changing to one more tanker, Baiwu feels pretty good.
Fuka and Kishi spoke in front.
Bai Wu followed behind.
He took a deep breath, the aroma of nut oil filled his lungs.
The outer shell of the autumn fruit must be peeled off first, then the nuts are pounded into pieces, and then fried in a large pottery pot. After the frying is completed, the nuts have to be wrapped with grass into a cake shape, and then put into a special stone mortar pressure.
The steps are very complicated.
If the whole tribe didn't come together, these steps alone would be enough to torment people.
The young sub-orcs have no skills, and they are responsible for peeling nuts with the children.
Bai Wu sat among the crowd, basking in the sun, prying out the nuts one by one with a stone.
This step is not complicated, and it won't cause hand pain. The sub-beasts chat together while working.
Bai Wu asked casually: "I heard that something happened to the long-legged clan, do you have any news?"
"You don't know? It seems that a lot of fish and seabirds died by the sea in the territory of the Long-legs tribe. They couldn't find out what happened, so they came here overnight to invite the priest."
Bai Wu: "Could it be that the weather was too cold and he froze to death?"
"I don't know, shouldn't it be? If they were frozen to death, they wouldn't rush over to invite someone."
Bai Wu's hand stopped, "Wouldn't that be dangerous?"
"The priest is here, what danger can there be?"
The sub-orcs didn't care about another tribe far away by the sea, nor did they care much about what the priest was doing.
They quickly turned the conversation to decorations and food.
Bai Wu was silently working on the side.
After a while, the autumn fruit squeezed out the oil.
The freshly squeezed oil is very fragrant and in barrels, like dark honey.
The autumn fruits on the sub-beast people's side were all peeled, and everyone dispersed, either to help the elders, or to play with friends.
Bai Wu was not in high spirits, neither wanted to work nor play, and sat in the corner basking in the sun with a sleepy expression.
He was warm and comfortable in the sun, when suddenly a shadow cast on him, blocking all the sunlight, and he became cool all of a sudden.
He woke up instantly, looked up, and it was their patriarch Ya standing in front of him.
"Patriarch." Bai Wu raised his face lazily, "Why are you here?"
"Come here and talk to you. You moved to the top of the mountain, are you still in the habit of living?"
It was rare for Bai Wu to see him so gentle, and scratched his head, "I'm used to it. Although we moved to live on a small hill, we still gather and hunt together, and there's nothing we're not used to."
"That's good. You can come to me if you need anything."
"Understood, if something really happens, I will definitely not be polite to you then."
Ya made a "hmm".
The two were relatively speechless.
Bai Wu smiled, and took the initiative to start the conversation, "Thank you for the baa-baa animals. They are growing up now. When we celebrate the beginning of spring, our family will kill livestock. Then you will come to eat together."
"I heard what Yazu said. Speaking of this, as the weather gets colder and colder, people don't go out so often, and even if they go out, it is more difficult to cut hay...Have you stocked up enough hay for the livestock to eat in winter?"
"It shouldn't be too much difference. I specially built a straw shed to store fodder. If it doesn't work, we can kill some of the livestock."
After Bai Wu asked Mo to carry wild boar meat to the tribe last time, the tribe would bring some forage with them every day when they came back from hunting and gathering, and help him throw it into the forage basket placed in Xingwanggu.
Half of the Baiwu family's livestock were raised with the help of the clan members.
He had previously planned to kill at least two pigs and one sheep during the Chinese New Year, and he would invite the whole clan to have a meal of slaughtered pigs.
If there is not enough fodder, their family will kill a little earlier, and there should be no big problem.
Thinking of this, Bai Wu thought of Nan Yao again.
If Nanyao was still in the nest, he would ask Nanyao to scrape some fat grass seeds and plant them in the valley to supplement the forage. The livestock would never be short of forage.
Bai Wu lost his mind while talking.
Ya stood in front of him, "I'll get busy first."
"Okay." Bai Wu came back to his senses, and smiled apologetically, "Shouldn't it be time to pack the autumn fruit oil? I'll go over to help too."
The autumn fruit oil has just been fried and still has a lot of impurities. It has to be placed in a tank to settle, and then poured into another tank. After several times of clarification, this batch of autumn fruit oil can be taken out for use.
This is also a job with no technical content, and Bai Wu can also do it. He stood up and stretched his waist, and when he saw the orcs taking out the oil cakes from the stone mortar, he stopped suddenly.
Ya was beside him, watching him stop suddenly, "What?"
"Patriarch, last time you squeezed the autumn fruit oil, where did you put the remaining autumn fruit residue?"
"Throw it away. The rest are some slag, and there are autumn fruit shells in it. Eat it and hurt your throat."
"Why didn't I think of it?" Bai Wu patted himself on the head, and asked Ya with bright eyes, "If everyone doesn't want it, can you give me these autumn fruit residues?"
"What are you using it for?"
"Feed the livestock. People feel their throats hurt after eating it. The livestock don't dislike it. If it doesn't work, it can be used for composting. It's a good thing."
"If you really don't have enough fodder, I'll get some for you."
"Isn't it enough? I just want these autumn fruit residues. If you haven't raised livestock, you don't know that these autumn fruit residues are very good livestock food. After they eat them, they will soon become fat."
"Then—later, I'll carry it to Xingwang Valley with someone."
"Thank you patriarch! You have worked hard. When these livestock are raised, let's come and eat meat together."
Bai Wu was very happy that the livestock had a new source of food.
He mixed autumn fruit dregs with forage to feed the livestock, and the pigs, sheep and ducks all ate it very happily.
Especially a few pigs, eating the autumn fruit dregs like a bulldozer, with a big mouth, the autumn fruit dregs are gone.
Bai Wu watched them grunt and chirp happily, and once again thought about fattening the grass.
Pigs are different from sheep. Sheep eat grass and can grow meat. If pigs eat grass, they only grow tall and don't grow meat.
The pigs that Bai Wu has raised for so long, these pigs have grown into half-sized pigs, but their bodies are still slender, and they can't hold any meat.
He thought it was a wild boar breed problem before, but now that he thought about it again, when he was digging for rat food, those wild boars were not small, so they started to mutate when they came here for no reason, and it should be a food problem.
Wild boars are omnivores, and now they are only fed grass and limited kitchen waste. Without oil and water, it is difficult for them to grow.
If you can't get good things, at least get them some hogweed.
Thinking of this, Bai Wu looked forward to Nan Yao's return even more.
The Bai people are too far away from the Long-legs people. In the territory of the Bird and Beastmen, the Bai people are in the south and the Long-legs people are in the northwest.
Orcs usually fly in a straight line, and it takes three days to fly.Even Nanyao had to fly at full speed for a day.
As for the sub-orcs, no sub-orcs have ever challenged this part of the journey alone.
Even if they had to fly this distance, the sub-orcs flew along the wind of the orcs, and how fast they could fly depended on how fast the orcs flew.
Nan Yao didn't come back.
Bai Wu feels quite bored by herself, unable to get excited about doing anything.
An saw that he was not energetic, so he took him to collect with everyone.
Winter has just started, the weather is relatively warm, the snow melts quickly, and there is no ice outside, but the snow-melted ground is muddy and the weather is relatively cold, making it inconvenient to go out.
What's more inconvenient is that the trees and vines outside are basically dry and without leaves. It is difficult for them to identify the types of plants based on the branches and vines, and the difficulty of collecting them is much more difficult.
An inexperienced sub-orc man like Bai Wu went out to work for a day, made mud all over his body, and could only pick half a basket of food.
In this kind of weather, every day's harvest is not enough to fill the stomach, and most of the time people have to take some stored food.
At this time, Bai Wu's family's abundant grain storage made them feel very comfortable.
An said to Bai Wu: "Speaking of which, it is still your credit. In previous years, like everyone in the tribe, the family didn't have much food."
"In the past, I was still a little fool. I just ate and didn't work. Where did I get food?"
"That's not what it means, but apart from your rations, if we only look at the three of us, we don't have much food. The main reason is that a lot of food is not easy to store. If it is stored, it will go bad, and there is no place to store it. Everyone dare not store too much. many."
Kishi said, looking into the utility room of his home, "This year is different. This year you even built a house to store grain, and there are many pots and jars outside."
Bai Wu nodded, "Every hard work is rewarded."
An smiled, "To be honest, this year is indeed much harder than previous years, but hard work is hard work, and people are at ease in their hearts."
Bai Wu has a little understanding of this.
All his clan members are optimists. If they are full today, they will not worry about what to eat tomorrow. After all, the territory is so large, as long as they are willing to go out and look for as much as they can find some food, so everyone's enthusiasm for hoarding food is not particularly high.
For the vast majority of orcs and sub-orcs, going out to hunt and gather every day is not only to find rations but also to play. After having fun, they will fly to the tribe when the time comes.
Baiwu is different. He carefully plans the winter grain and strictly implements it.
In addition to going out to collect every day, he also raised so many livestock, milking and feeding them tirelessly every day, and then pulling fish cages.
Besides that, he has two vegetable gardens to tend.
His workload is much greater than that of anyone in the tribe, and he is often busy from morning to night without stopping for a moment.
Driven by him, the whole family also got busy, and now their family is definitely the hardest-working family in the entire tribe.
The family has been busy and tired for so long, so of course they can survive the fat winter.
Bai Wu said: "Thank you for tossing with me."
"What is there to thank the family for? It was a bit hard before. You see how good our life is now. Many people are full and hungry. Not only can we be full every meal, but we can also eat delicious food."
"Ok!"
"It's such a cold day, why don't we eat ginger and milk tonight?"
"I'll dig ginger later. In such a cold weather, the ginger probably won't grow anymore. I'll dig them all up earlier."
"I will go with you."
As soon as Nan Yao went to the long-legged clan, he went there for seven days.
Therefore, when Bai Wu saw him again, he felt as if he had passed away.
Nan Yao carried a big basket on his back and landed in front of Bai Wu's house and changed back into a human form. Seeing him standing in front of the door, he said nothing, "Why are you here?"
"You're finally back." Bai Wu came back to his senses, pinched his palm quietly, and said with a smile, "If you don't come back again, I thought you were going to retire in the long-legged clan."
"It happened suddenly. I didn't have time to tell you, but I brought you the seeds of fat grass."
Bai Wu had been looking forward to the seeds of fat grass for a long time, but now he really saw a whole basket of fat grass seeds like sesame seeds, but he didn't feel much joy in his heart.
Nan Yao paused, "I really didn't mean it, don't be angry."
"Who is angry?" Bai Wu refused to admit it.
Nan Yao said: "Are you going to plant the seeds of the fat grass now? I will accompany you to reclaim the land."
"There is no need to cultivate it. I will plant it in the Prosperous Valley. The pigs, sheep, and ducks have loosened the soil, so just scatter it."
The two spoke a few words, but the atmosphere was still tense.
Bai Wu didn't know what was wrong. He took a deep breath and began to inquire about the long-legged tribe, "Is there nothing wrong with the long-legged tribe? Why are there so many dead fish and birds all of a sudden?"
"I didn't figure it out. The sea water is not poisonous, and the fish and birds didn't die from poisoning."
"Then what should I do? Just leave it like this."
"For the time being, that's all I can do. I'll go there a few more times in the future."
"You pay attention to safety."
The two exchanged a few words, and seeing that the atmosphere became harmonious again, Bai Wu said, "I really miss you when you're not here for a few days."
"Me too."
The two looked at each other, and then laughed together after a while.
"Go, while it's still early, accompany me to Xingwang Valley and sow the seeds."
"Just throw it down like this?"
"I don't have experience with this. I've only seen Fat Grass once. You went to the Long Legs, how does their Fat Grass grow? Do you want to do something special?"
"Find a place that is relatively humid and plant it."
"Hen and Xun said the same thing. I think our Xingwang Valley is warm and humid enough, so there should be no problem. I have locked up pigs, sheep and ducks during this time, and they won't come out to make trouble."
"Ya said the fodder is not enough? I'll get some more."
"If the original feeding method is really not enough, but don't we want to spread the seeds of the fat grass now, and when the fat grass grows up, it will be no problem to feed a few more livestock."
Nan Yao came back, and Bai Wu's vitality also returned, full of energy.
In the evening, he grilled fish and birds to celebrate.
Seeing his lively appearance, An leaned against the door with folded arms, "The priest is back, you don't have to worry anymore, go out to collect with us tomorrow?"
"I don't think it will work tomorrow. Tomorrow I have to tidy up the pickled beans. I guess I won't be leaving until very late. You guys go first. When I'm done, I'll go shopping around by myself and pick something."
Bai Wu had never made miso in her previous life, and she was still trying to make it in this life.
Because of his inexperience, he now has to look at his baby Jiangdouzi every day.
When he looked at it today, he felt that it was almost done. The soy beans were sticky and sticky, and they were already a bit stringy after pulling. It should be completely fine tomorrow.
As for the fermented tofu cubes on the shelf, it may be because the temperature is too low that too many white pili have not yet grown, so we have to wait patiently for a while.
Kishi had never checked the status of the beans before. Hearing what he said, he said with interest: "Then I won't go tomorrow, I'll organize the beans with you."
"Okay, we brothers are of one mind, and our benefits can cut through gold."
Bai Wu said this sentence in Chinese.
Kishi listened and had no special reaction.
Bai Wu often said some strange words and did some strange things. The whole family is used to it. If they can understand it, they will understand it, and if they can't understand it, they will automatically skip it.
Even though he has never made bean paste before, Bai Wu also knows that when drying the sauce, he needs to use a large oil-free vat, so he specially prepared a new ceramic vat, scalded it with boiling water, and put it outside to dry.
The clay pot he used was very large.
In fact, he was afraid that he would not succeed in making bean paste this time, so he only cooked a wooden pot of beans.
The next day, Bai Wu started to work early in the morning.
He carefully rolled the big jar to the edge of the eaves, and then raised his hand to hug the bean pot.
Kishi watched from the side, and couldn't help but said, "This tank is too big, it won't be able to fill the whole wooden basin if you put it in."
"It's okay, it's the first time I'm doing it this year, if I can't fill it up, I won't be able to fill it up. If it's done successfully, I'll do it again next year with this big tank."
As Bai Wu said, he happily picked up the straw curtain above the tub.
The unique taste of soy beans came out.
Kishi took a step back and looked at the yellow and sticky beans in surprise, "These things are really edible?"
"If I succeed in making it, it will not only be edible, but it will be delicious. Come on, do me a favor and bring me the big spoon."
Baiwu's family has a large spoon for scooping up soup. One spoonful can scoop up a whole bowl of soup.
Baiwu had been specially washed with plant ash and scalded with boiling water before. It felt very porcelain to the touch, without any oily spots.
He shook off the water on the spoon, and started pulling the beans directly with the spoon.
As soon as the beans were plucked, they immediately began to be shredded, and the whole pot of beans was pulled out with yellow filaments.
Kishi watched the scene from the side, his skin got goosebumps, and he kept rubbing his arms, "Is this really edible? It doesn't look very tasty."
"Don't worry, it's really delicious. Bring me the salt shaker."
When Bai Wu poured salt into the beans, she was not polite at all, and the whole pot of salt was poured into the basin.
The first time he made soy milk, he didn't know the ratio of salt to beans, but there was nothing wrong with putting more weight in it.
The salt is too heavy, at most it is salty, just put a little less soy sauce when eating, if you put less salt, the soy sauce may smell bad.
Kishi watched him pour the whole pot of beans into the big vat, poured a whole pot of cold boiled water into it, and stirred the bean paste with a wooden spoon into a paste, which made him feel more and more unacceptable.
"This food is too weird."
Bai Wu raised her head and smiled at him.
The blended beans were just outside the utility room, covered with a dustpan.
Baiwu knows how to dry sauce.
It is probably the sun and night dew, and then stir it in the morning and evening.
This step is not complicated, just take some time to do it every day.
The bean paste has not been in the sun for a few days, and the fat grass in the valley of Baiwujia has already sprouted buds.
Bai Wu didn't expect the vitality of this plant to be so tenacious.
The cold wind was blowing outside, and fat grass the size of a fist sprouted from the entire valley.
These fat grasses stick to the ground, like small mustards that have just emerged.
He cut a basket of fat grass and went home to eat.
The newly sprouted Fat Grass is very tender and crisp, and tastes tender and delicious, and the bitterness becomes the condiment of Fat Grass.
Bai Wu was pleasantly surprised to be able to eat such fresh and moist vegetables in winter, especially green leafy vegetables.
He basically picks a basket every day, stir-fries, mixes, steams, and makes soup.
Kishi and the others could still eat a few chopsticks at the beginning, and they ate a few more times. The whole family expressed that they could not accept it. As traditional orcs and sub-orcs, everyone said that they still prefer to eat meat.
It's a pity for Bai Wu, no one likes to eat such a delicious vegetable.
He didn't force his family to eat every meal, but he still asked everyone to eat every few days.
This green vegetable can supplement vitamins and minerals, which is very good for the body, even if it is for the sake of health, you should eat more.
Not only does he let his family eat, but he also shows the spirit of unity and friendship. Every few days, he will send a whole basket to the tribe, so that everyone can eat a little.
After listening to Bai Wu's suggestion, Ya told everyone to eat at least once every five days.
Except for a few people, this slightly bitter vegetable is basically not liked by everyone.
For a moment, everyone looked at Bai Wu with resentment.
Especially kids.
When he went to the tribe before, those cubs liked to play with him very much, but now when he went to the tribe, the cubs saw him from a distance and scattered like birds and beasts.
It's funny that Bai Wu has succeeded in a prank.
This kind of green vegetable is indeed beneficial. In previous years, instead of eating fat grass, people would also eat other wild vegetables and roots to supplement vitamins, but the amount was not so sufficient.
Bai Wu heard from An that every year when winter comes, everyone has big and small blisters in their mouths, which won't heal for a long time. When they lick their tongues, they don't hurt, and everyone doesn't care.
That should be a sign of vitamin deficiency. This year, he let everyone eat so much fat and grass, and he never heard of anyone with big blisters in their mouths.
After eating it a few times, the Bai people also realized that this fat grass is really good for their health. Even if they don't like to eat it anymore, they will eat a little bit every few days.
Anyway, just take this thing as medicine, this thing is not as bitter as medicine.
Naturally, Bai Wu would never forget to share something good with Nan Yao.
It's just that Nan Yao seems to dislike fat grass even more than Bai people.
The first few times he ate the fat grass without changing his face, but after giving it a few more times, Bai Wu saw that every time he ate the fat grass, reluctance and struggle always flashed in his eyes.
"Is it that unpalatable?" Bai Wu laughed, "I've already fried it with meat, the taste should be okay."
"It's not too bad to eat, but it's just that I've eaten it many times and I'm a little tired."
A look of suspicion appeared on Bai Wu's face, "Is it really just tired of eating?"
Nan Yao was very calm, "Of course."
"Alright then, I'll find a way to develop a new way of eating."
It's pretty cold here.
Now it's winter again, and it snows every now and then.
Often the snow that fell a few days ago has not completely melted, and new snow falls again, layer by layer. As time goes by, frost is everywhere outside, and people will slip if they step on it accidentally.
Every year when it snows, it is the time when the birds and beasts are injured the most. In addition to the lively tribes, Nanyao's side is also gradually becoming lively, and there are wounded people almost every day.
Bai Wu looked incredible.
"It's okay for the wounded. When it snowed heavily in previous years, some fell to their deaths. You look at the ordinary hills. When you fall, your feet slip and you may fall into a ditch. No one finds it. People fall Go down and freeze to death."
"Don't we know how to fly? How could we still fall to our death? Even if we hit a wing, it's okay to bear the pain and fly up, right?"
"Those ditches are so small, if you change back into a beast shape, you can't move, and you can't climb up in a human shape, wouldn't you fall to your death? Let me tell you, don't go out alone in winter, you can go anywhere." You want to call me, you know?"
Kishi said a lot, just to say the last sentence.
Bai Wu looked into his brother's worried eyes and nodded, "I have enough food at home. In such a cold day, I won't go out and cook something at home."
"what do you want to do?"
"Let's make a send bucket, it's too difficult for us to send something now."
There are many bird eggs in Baiwu, and there were many before. Recently, he specially asked his family to search carefully, and found more bird eggs.
Now the house is big, and there are a lot of bird eggs. There are already five baskets.
Except for the salted eggs that have been pickled with white wu for too long in the month, the five baskets of bird eggs are all fresh bird eggs. If they are placed there, they may not be eaten all winter.
There are so many eggs left.Bai Wu thought about making some salad dressing.
The method of making salad dressing is not complicated. The basic raw materials only need oil and egg yolk, and the most troublesome thing is the craft.
Making salad dressing requires people to spend a lot of effort to beat the egg yolk, then add oil to emulsify, and have to beat and emulsify again and again. This process is very time-consuming and laborious.
Although Bai Wu and the others are free, they don't want to waste so much time just to make some salad dressing.
He plans to make a convenient pass bucket to try.
Hearing what he said, Kishi opened his mouth, and was about to speak——
Bai Wu stepped forward, "Stop it, I know what you're going to say, I can't explain what salad dressing is, you'll know when I make it."
"you……"
"What is a send bucket, I also can't explain it."
After being blocked twice in a row, Kishi angrily said, "Why do you always take my word for it?"
"It's not that I want to grab your words, it's that I know what you want to say, so I'll tell you in advance. Help me get the stone ax here. If you have time, help me get this wooden barrel."
"What will it be like?"
"Just dig a hole here. You can dig out slowly according to the picture I drew, so as not to crack the barrel."
Although Kishi sat down to help, he was not a patient person. After helping for a while, he threw the ax away impatiently and went to watch Baiwu make the fan.
Bai Wu had no choice but to take back the barrel, planning to get it slowly at night.
The most patient in their family is their father Mo.
Kishi is suitable for doing some more creative work, so that he will not be impatient.
However, the fan leaf is considered a relatively technical job, and Kishi has never done it before, and Bai Wu dare not let him do it.
Bai Wu had to do it slowly by herself.
In the evening, Nan Yao came down with two fat birds, saw him sitting by the door making buckets, and asked him what he was doing.
"I'm making a passing tool. I'm going to pass bird egg yolks into another kind of food. How did you come down in such a cold day?"
"I got a few delicious fat birds and brought them down for you to taste. Is this kind of tool difficult?"
"It's not very difficult, it's just that it takes patience to do this kind of work."
Nan Yao showed interest in his eyes, "Let me try."
Bai Wu looked at his side face, gave up a seat to the side, and patiently told him what he was going to do, what he was going to do, and what the reason was.
Nan Yao is very smart and can see through everything.
After talking for a while, the two were able to communicate normally.
Kishi watched their tacit actions from the sidelines, with an angry look on his face.
He also said that he is impatient, isn't that guy Wu the most impatient?I am impatient to say a few more words.
Humph
