summer in timata

Mu Zhongxia asked Tethyr to find a piece of red hairless leather. He cut out a few thin leather ropes with scissors, and then weaved five small and two big peace knots with his fingers deftly. A crystal spar was hung on the peace knot, and a small tassel was also made.He has tools and is easy to punch.

Feeling in my heart the handiwork that was learned by the female students in the class when I was a teacher, Mu Zhongxia gave one to each of the father and son, and said: "After taking a bath, I changed my clothes and hung them on my belt. , take it with you every day to keep you safe. A big safety knot, hang one on the door of Abiwo and Amunda’s tents, and hang one on the door of our tent.”

As soon as Abiwo heard this, he picked up the big one and hung it on the door first.

Tesser gently held the heavy peace knot in his hand, and raised his head: "Zhong Xia, I'm hungry."

Mu Zhongxia: "I cook. How is your harvest today?"

"Good harvest."

"What about the fish?"

Tethyr used to bring back their rations when they came back from hunting every day. Why are they empty-handed today?Tethyr: "You want to eat? Fish is not good."

Mu Zhongxia: "I'll do it. You go and get a few thorns, go quickly. Abiwo and Amunda are going to take a bath, they smell like fish."

Tethel gave his peace knot back to Mu Zhongxia, and put it on after he took a bath.Abiwo carried the Jufa bathtub and took his younger brother to take a bath.Not to mention that Father Mu detested them, both children despised their fishy smell.

Mu Zhongxia went to Gu'an's side again, first hung a big safety knot on the door, and then put a small safety knot on Gu'an, and he also put it on in front of Gu'an, lest Gu'an think too much. .Sure enough, as soon as he put on the Ping An knot, he decided that it would not bring blood to his brother and nephew, and Gu An felt a lot easier.

Mu Zhongxia put away the things she needed, turned on the heater again, heated a pot of water for her, and went out to prepare dinner.On the way to get the fish, Tethyr went to the leader to lead the tent first.He didn't say too much to Father, he only said that in Eden, women stay at home and rest in bed during this period, and their family members have to take good care of them, otherwise it will affect their fertility.So Mu Zhongxia couldn't accept that Gu'an was sent to the dirty cave.Mu Zhongxia weaved a peace knot for them, and with the peace knot, they would not be afraid of the blood that Gu An might bring.

Tethyr didn't wear the peace knot, and Muschka asked him to bring it over after dinner to have a look.Mushka also contradicted what Tethyr said.Eden didn't have this rule, would it affect fertility?But this is a rule that has been handed down by the Dimata people since ancient times, and it has been implemented like this from generation to generation.After thinking for a long time, Mushka decided to take a look at the situation of the Tethel family before making a decision.

Tethyr brought back 6 fish with the least spines.Di Mata people do not like to eat fish.But in the snow season, fish is also one of their main foods.Therefore, Tethyr has eaten the fish in the tundra lake, and knows which fish has the least spines.Tethel came back with the fish, Mu Zhongxia looked at it, and went to process the fish with Tethel.

The small river where the fish were processed was not far from the residence of the leader tribe. Tessel was carrying the bucket, and Mu Zhongxia was holding the tools. The two walked towards the small river while talking.Ahan's water resources are relatively rich. The main river, the Zanluo River, runs through the entire Ahan tundra, and there are countless branches of the Zanluo River in the tundra, not to mention the lakes owned by each tribe.If it weren't for Ahan's location in the tundra, the barren land, the harsh environment, and such abundant water resources, the Dimata people shouldn't have had such a difficult life.

The small river of the leader tribe is a branch of a tributary of the Zanluo River. The tribe chose this place to settle down. It is convenient to get water and prevent the river from rising when there is a lot of rain in the warm season, causing floods to the tribe.The Ping An knot on Mu Zhongxia's waist is very conspicuous. There has been news about the Ping An knot from the leader Duo Zhang, and many people are staring at Mu Zhongxia's waist.

When they got to the river, Mu Zhongxia didn't let Tethyr do it, he took care of it himself.Tethel refused, the river was too cold, Mu Zhongxia could only say: "I'll deal with one first, you see how I deal with it, and then you come to the rest."

Tethel handed the knife back to Mu Zhongxia.Mu Zhongxia scraped the scales, disembowelled the belly, and removed the gills of the fish. After cleaning up one fish, he put it aside to prepare for the next one.Tethyr stretched out his hand: "I'll do the rest."

When Mu Zhongxia and Tethel were handling the fish, the people who were handling the prey by the river were all staring at them.When Tethyr finished packing the remaining five fish, Mu Zhongxia handed him the soap he brought when he came, and asked him to wash his hands well.

The people around whispered: "Is that how the people of Eden handle the fish?"

"Let your man ask Tethyr."

The two returned to Duo Tent, Mu Zhongxia rushed Tesser to take a shower, and Abiwo and Amunda had already finished washing.The fishy smell on Tethyr's body is too strong.Tethel was waiting to wash his hair with a bamboo curtain at night, but seeing that Mu Zhongxia really couldn't stand it, he obediently went to wash the curtain.

Mu Zhongxia asked Abiwo to cook. He took out a fish to make fish soup, two fish, one steamed and the other braised, and the other two were hung outside the tent to dry.Without a fresh-keeping bag, putting it directly into the refrigerator will stain the meat inside with a fishy smell.Mu Zhongxia then went to plant a tent.All the green onions planted have grown and can be harvested.To his surprise, two pheasants were raised and laid eggs!Both are hens, and Mu Zhongxia doesn't ask to hatch chicks, anyway, they are used to eat eggs, which is the best.The two hens were awesome and laid 8 eggs!Mu Zhongxia picked a few more grown lychee leaves, cut four fresh lettuces, and returned to the tent with a full harvest.

The fish was caught today, very fresh.After the pot is opened, put the big fat fish directly, put two green onions and a small piece of ginger.The ginger planted by Mu Zhongxia hasn't grown yet, and what he is using now is the one he brought from Eden.When the aroma of the fish soup comes out, take out the soft rotten green onions, sprinkle salt and continue cooking.Abiwo and Amunda sniff their noses, it smells so good!

Asking Abiwo to open the two Liupo windows, Mu Zhongxia started cooking braised fish.Abiwo and Amonda saw that Muafu was like an artist—of course they didn’t know what an artist was, but that was the feeling—put the fish in a hot oil pan, first sauced it, then brewed it, and then Add water and start to simmer.The two children moved their noses again, it was really fragrant!

While the braised fish was stewing, Mu Zhongxia began to blanch the lettuce.Add a little animal oil to the hot water in the pot, put the washed and shredded lettuce in, scald it, remove it, put it on a plate, and put it aside.At this moment, the oven stopped working with a ding, and the meat was cooked.The braised fish can be used to collect the soup. Make the starch precipitated from the sweet potato into water starch, pour it into the pot, and collect the soup. It's perfect!

Amunda swallowed, feeling very hungry.

Tesser, who was going to take a bath, walked into the tent with the cleaned spell bathtub, moved his nose, and smelled the fragrance outside, very hungry!

"Tesser, wait a little longer, the fish can be eaten after it is steamed."

"No hurry." The stomach of the person who was not in a hurry was growling.

Put the braised fish on a plate, and after Abiwo cleaned the pot, Mu Zhongxia started to steam the fish. Steaming the fish is a little more troublesome, but in order to reward the father and son who had worked hard all day, and Gu An who was not feeling well and suffered a great grievance , the trouble is nothing.When the fish was steamed, Mu Zhongxia beat two eggs into egg liquid, put some warm water and a little salt, brought another magic pot, and stewed the eggs over water.

Two more eggs, still beat into egg liquid, add chopped green onion and a little salt to make scrambled eggs with chopped green onion.For the remaining four eggs, all fried poached eggs.It takes about 15 minutes to steam the fish. Without a watch, Mu Zhongxia estimated the hourglass time.Take out the frying pan, first scramble the eggs, then fry the eggs.After Mu Zhongxia cooked all the eggs, the fish was also steamed.Pour out the fishy water, spread the chopped green onion and ginger on the fish, pour the prepared steamed fish sauce on it, and then pour a spoonful of boiling oil, perfect!

Tethyr, Abiwo, and Amunda were all licking their mouths, and Muzai also came over, howling, he smelled the fragrance!Mu Zhongxia scooped out some steamed eggs and placed them in front of Muzai.Muzai lowered his head and smelled it, then rolled his tongue, the bowl was empty.Mu Zai licked his mouth: "Aw~"

Mu Zhongxia Khan, do tigers also eat steamed eggs?

"I'll make it for you tomorrow. These are from Gu'an." After comforting Mu Zai, Mu Zhongxia began to command: "Tesher, give me your magic food box."

Tethyr took out his sorcery food box.Mu Zhongxia packed hot flower rolls, a large piece of braised fish, soup lettuce and scrambled eggs in one food box, and milky white fish soup in the other food box.In Abiwo's food box, Mu Zhongxia poured the steamed eggs into it.These are enough for Gu'an to eat.Mu Zhongxia put three food boxes into the bag: "I'll deliver food to Gu'an, you guys eat first."

"I'll deliver it." Tethel stopped Mu Zhongxia.

Mu Zhongxia pulled his hand down and said, "You eat. You will feel uncomfortable and uneasy when you go to Gu'an. Don't see her until Gu'an is better. Wait until everyone in the tribe has changed their minds."

Tethyr silently agreed to Najian's arrangement.Mu Zhongxia put on a thick leather coat, a scarf, a hat and a bag and went out.Before going out, he reminded again: "Amonda, eat fish slowly, and be careful of fish bones."

Amanda nodded vigorously.

Mu Zhongxia went out.Abiwo: "Father, you have to keep Father Mu in the tribe." Stay with you, stay with us.Tethyr didn't respond, but his expression told the two sons that he would use all means and efforts to keep his Nazai in the tribe forever.

In the past, every time during the dirty blood period, Gu An could only cook some hot soup for himself in the dirty hole, with a few pieces of dry biscuits, and survive those few days.What Gu An is most afraid of is not tiredness and hard work, but the unavoidable few days.The warm season is okay, but the snow season is too difficult.Especially when she saw a woman in the same dirty hole who was frozen to death due to too cold, she felt very sad.

But this time, there was Brother Xia.Brother Xia asked brother to bring her back.There are not only comfortable silk papers for her to use, but also warm flower tents and delicious food.

After taking a sip of the fish soup, Gu'an's tears rolled down his face.Mu Zhongxia wiped it off for her, and said: "I told your brother. When the warm season comes, I will set up another small tent for you near the tents of Abiwo and Amunda, and I won't let you go again." Dirty hole. Believe me, you won't bring blood to your brother and Abiwo and Amunda."

The reason why it is next to the tents of Abiwo and Amunda is also to avoid other people's taboos.

Gu'an nodded, she believed in Brother Xia.

"Let's eat, try to eat as much as possible, I'll come and clean up later. I have to go back and grill a fish for Muzai."

"Brother Xia, you can go back to eat quickly, I will be able to work in two days."

"Don't worry, take good care of it."

Before Mu Zhongxia returned to the tent, he heard Mu Zai's impatient "Aww".Opening the curtain and going in, I saw Tesser pressing Muzai's forehead with one hand, but Muzai was screaming at the braised fish on the table.As soon as Mu Zhongxia came in, Mu Zai ran over aggrieved and rubbed his leg.Mu Zhongxia patted Mu Zai: "You let me eat first, and I'll grill you fish after dinner. The two outside are yours."

Mu Zai didn't feel wronged anymore, he gave Mu Zhongxia his big head and asked him to eat quickly.

The father and son didn't move, they waited for Mu Zhongxia to come back and eat together.Mu Zhongxia sat down, Abiwo brought a flower roll for Mu's father, Mu Zhongxia picked up the chopsticks, and started the meal!

The three father and son ate their heads down, it turns out that fish can be so delicious!Eggs are also delicious!Mu Zai kept licking his mouth, he was very hungry.Mu Zhongxia divided his omelet into Muzai's half, and Muzai said that it wasn't enough to fit between his teeth!Mu Zhongxia has a small appetite, but he is also very hungry after exercising today.But even though he was very hungry, he was the first to finish eating, and Amunda was still immersed in eating.

"I'm full. I'm going to grill the fish for Muzai. You have to finish eating. The fish can't stay overnight, or it will be very fishy."

Tethyr glanced at his Nagano, and the meaning in that look was obvious - don't worry, there is absolutely no way you can't finish it!

Mu Zhongxia brought back the two fish that were hanging outside the tent, put them on the baking tray, put only the basic ingredients such as scallions, ginger, and bell peppers, without salt, and put them in the oven.When Amunda couldn't eat any more and reluctantly put down the spoon, Mu Zai's fish was also roasted.Mu Zhongxia took out the fish, pushed Muzai's big head away, cut off the fish head, and checked carefully that there were no thorns before giving it to Muzai to eat.

Abiwo and Amonda watched Mu's father take care of Muzai so meticulously and cook such delicious food for them, the hearts of the two children were warm.The rest was left to the father and son, and Mu Zhongxia went to Gu'an for a visit.Gu'an finished all the food and said it was delicious. Mu Zhongxia said that he would continue to make fish soup for her tomorrow.After saying a few words to Gu'an and telling her to go to bed early, Mu Zhongxia came back with an empty food box, and Abiwo reached out to take it, and he went to clean it.

After the father and son finished cleaning up, Mu Zhongxia said: "Today I took Gu'an to the smelting room, and a man named Long Wuza came to visit Gu'an, saying that he was the leader of Duo Tent."

Tethel nodded and said directly: "He likes Gu'an."

Abiwo and Amonda immediately looked at Father.Mu Zhongxia immediately asked: "You agree?"

Tethel shook his head: "There are many people in the tribe who like Gu'an, but Gu'an doesn't particularly like Gu'an. Long Wuza..." After a pause, Tethyr said: "The guards who lead Duo Tent participate in battles and capture prey The number of times is far less than the warriors of the Eagle Guard and other fighters. I hope that Gu'an's men are the warriors of the Eagle Guard. But in the end it depends on whether she likes it or not." Tethyr is very enlightened about this.

As soon as Mu Zhongxia heard it, he said what he meant: "I don't like that Long Wuza very much. Gu'an was suffering in the dirty cave, and he didn't dare to go. I took Gu'an to the smelting room, and he went, but he was empty-handed. This man's EQ is too low. He blushes when talking to me, too shy. But Gu'an is 17 years old, and she should really consider her marriage. Don't say that her future man will be like you, at least half of you I don’t think that Long Uza can even compare to Abiwo.”

Abiwo pursed his lips tightly, and Father Mu praised him.

Tethel, who was also praised by Nazhang, immediately expressed his loyalty: "I will tell Gu'an, and I will also reject Long Wuza."

Mu Zhongxia didn't have any guilty conscience, he really felt that the man was not very good.Tesser still had to go to leader Duo Zhang, and he took Abiwo there.Mu Zhongxia wanted to make the bed for Abiwo and Amunda, and Amunda suppressed his little excitement and helped Father Mu.

Eden has no rules about dirty holes, and this matter is very difficult for Mushka.Tethyr also truthfully said that this custom of the tribe will harm the woman's body and easily make it difficult for women to have children.But in this matter Mushka dared not take any chances.In the end, after discussing with the great witch, he decided to set up a small tent next to the tents of Abiwo and Amunda tomorrow.But this rule of the tribe can't be broken, but Mu Zhongxia is from Eden, so he forced Gu'an to stay, and no one else could stop him.

With the acquiescence of Mushika and Dawu, Mu Zhongxia felt more at ease.But he didn't know that when Tethel went to the leader to report to Gu'an, he also discussed another matter with the leader and the great witch.

The snow season is here, and Yahan at night immediately went below zero.The planting tank has a temperature setting function, and Mu Zhongxia also put a heater in it to ensure that the two pheasants would not freeze to death.There is a heater on Gu'an's side, and on Mu Zhongxia and Tethel's side, one heater is enough for the time being.Mu Zhongxia wrapped herself up tightly and went to the cheese tent.There are already dozens of pieces of cheese in the cheese tent, which were all made by working overtime during this period.For the first two pieces of cheese, Mu Zhongxia cut a small piece and tasted it, his eyes widened in surprise, the taste was unexpectedly good!Full of milk flavor!There is a faint sweetness.It had a more special taste than any cheese he had "before"!

Immediately cut off a piece, Mu Zhongxia returned to the tent.Tethel will go out fishing tomorrow, and he is kneading dough according to Mu Zhongxia's request. Mu Zhongxia came into the tent and asked Abiwo to quickly fix the animal skin curtain of the tent.

"Tethyr, the cheese tastes so good! Tomorrow you, Abivor and Amunda can eat bread with cheese."

For the first time, Amunda dared to say, "Father Mu, can I have a taste?"

"of course can!"

Mu Zhongxia put the cheese on the plate, cut a small piece and fed it to Amanda.Amanda's eyes were as bright as stars.Mu Zhongxia then cut a piece and fed it to Abiwo, who was obviously amazed.

"Ow~"

Mu Zai, the most greedy in the family, came over, Mu Zhongxia fed him a slice, Mu Zai licked his mouth, obviously wanted more.Mu Zhongxia was speechless, rubbing Muzai's big head: "What else do you not eat?"

Tethel also ate a piece, and the father and son plus the cat all liked the taste of cheese.After the dough was kneaded, Mu Zhongxia took the time to bake the bread.The cold wind blows outside the tent, mixed with snowflakes.The inside of the tent was extraordinarily warm, filled with the aroma of toasting bread.In Abiwo's tent, Gu'an had already fallen asleep.This was the sweetest and happiest sleep she had every time she was in "pain" after her body matured.

After brushing their teeth, Abiwo and Amonda were driven to sleep by Mu'afu.The two children slept under the same quilt, watching Mu's father still baking bread and meticulously preparing the lunch they will bring tomorrow, they also realized what happiness is.In other words, brushing teeth was a habit that Mu's father "forced" them to develop after he came.

"You are strong, and the bread you knead will taste better." Mu Zhongxia said in a low voice, tearing a piece of bread and feeding it to Tethyr who was always with him.Tethel said while eating, "I'll knead the dough later."

Mu Zhongxia: "Tomorrow, you can bring some more cheese and give it to Tulasen to taste. If they can accept it, you can give them some, as well as the leader, Dawu, Amu, and Terrabu. Many people in the tribe accept it. Now, everyone can make cheese in the future. Cheese is easier to preserve than milk, and it can be exchanged for supplies.”

Tethyr thought about it, but nodded.He didn't want to distribute the food made by Naza to others, but Mu Zhongxia's last sentence that he could exchange supplies made him take back his refusal.If the tribe has more cheese, it can be exchanged for more food from Eden and things his Naza likes.
