Luxi stood up, glanced at the half-filled basket of pearl fruit beside her, and sighed: "I didn't realize it before, so there are so many pearl fruits in Aomori!"
Ding Xiao turned his head and glanced at Luxi's harvest, and said with a smile: "Pick it slowly, don't wait for a while and you can't carry it anymore." Sometimes the more common this kind of thing is, the less likely it is to find him. Existence, especially the perennial herbaceous plant of pearl fruit, which will naturally grow more and more if it produces fruit and seeds fall.But there is always a law of their balance in the forest.Birds and beasts will devour pearl fruit, including some that are rotten and cannot germinate, and are squeezed out of the living soil by other plants.Therefore, although there are new births every year, there must also be declines every year.Although the natural growth is so, once the orcs start to feed on them in large quantities, this number will inevitably appear thin.Perhaps because his family runs a grain store, Ding Xiao has an obsession with storing grain for safety.If possible, he felt that he must persuade the priest and the village chief to plant.
Jing jumped over at this time. Although there were many pearl fruits in his basket, some of them were wild fruits he liked to eat. "Lvxi is like this, and nothing good will be left behind. Smile, you said that Kun brought the pancake you made for lunch in the morning, can I also eat that pancake in the evening? I will pick it up today. I will give you all the pearl fruit!"
Ding smiled: "My good friend invites you to eat cakes and you need to provide raw materials?! Really, didn't I promise you in the morning, and I will make it for you when I go back in the afternoon, but you must peel the pearl fruit. Need help. And you have to memorize the steps clearly, in case the village chief and the priest make a decision, every family will be able to do it in the future, you can teach others after you know it first."
Jing's eyes lit up immediately: "Then we can be very imposing?! That's great! Don't worry, I will study very seriously!"
And Luxi's mind is like this: "Well. I will learn it hard, so that when tomorrow Feng goes to the hunting team, I can also bring him cakes to eat!"
Jing pouted: "The shameless cub wants to be a male again!"
Luxi turned her face away: "You don't care! You don't have a male to think about!"
Jing also turned his face: "Hmph! Why do I have to think about males? I want to learn how to make pearl fruit now, and then there will be many males who will think about me!" He still admires Kun, but he has always It's just adoration.He has also thought about it carefully at home for the past two days.Instead of letting those high-spirited females get Kun, it's better for my good friend to get Kun!Although the mentality is naive, but the result is good...
Ding smiled with black lines all over his head.These two people are really enough, obviously they are not yet adults, why are they always attacking each other.I don’t know at what age the development of half-orcs in the orc world started. If some people, like the modern people in their previous lives, have been able to perform human affairs since they were thirteen or fourteen years old, then they are not very depressed during these ten years of minors. ?But... how do I talk to my father...
Black tooth fruit and soy sauce fruit diced Xiao picked a small bag of each.These small bags were used by Joan to hold shellfish before, but they were used by Ding Xiaozheng to hold wild fruits before they came out.The last time he used bamboo baskets to put pearl fruit and so on together, some of them were crushed, so he had to be more careful this time.He also wants to try how long these fruits can be stored when they are taken back, and whether they can support the long-term preservation of the jam.You must know that these kinds of fruits do not grow in winter.
Seeing that Ding Xiao collected a lot of black tooth fruits, Jing was very happy, so he sent all the large black tooth fruits to Ding Xiao's animal skin bag.These things are just casual snacks for him, but he knows that Ding Xiao will use them to make delicious food, the fresh fish black soup that day is the best proof.Although Grandma also put black tooth fruit into the soup after returning home, the taste is also good, but it is still not as good as Ding Xiao's craftsmanship!It seems that what Grandma said is right, I need to learn more from Xiaoxiao in the future, Kun can't remember it, and I also want to find a good partner!
Seeing a pile of mushrooms in Ding Xiao's bamboo basket, Jing asked, "Xiaoxiao, are you picking these mushrooms for lunch? I really like grilled mushrooms!"
Ding Xiao replied: "Okay. Then I will make mushrooms at noon. In fact, these mushrooms are more delicious when cooked with pheasants. I want to pick more, and then I can eat them in winter."
Jing was full of doubts: "How can it be kept until winter? The mushrooms will rot and blacken after one afternoon! We all pick and eat them fresh. Although I really like the taste of mushrooms, they are only available in summer and autumn. "
Looking at Jing's regretful expression, Ding Xiao said: "Actually, spread out the picked mushrooms and let them dry in the sun. They can be stored for a long time. They won't turn black and they won't rot. But they must be spread out in a ventilated place. It can be stored in a place where it has been dried in the sun. I will dry it for you when I go back today, and then you can enjoy the taste of mushrooms in winter and spring.”
Jing's eyes lit up again. "Smile! You are amazing, you know everything! If mushrooms can really be preserved, that would be such a great thing to me!"
Attracted by Jing's whistling voice, it was already a bit difficult for him to memorize Luxi's current basket. "Mushrooms can really be stored? If so, we can exchange things in the Daji! In the summer and autumn Daji, many people who are not enough like to buy our mushrooms in Aomori! And mushrooms can't be counted. It is the staple food for carrying hunger in the winter, so it is not restricted by tribal regulations."
Jing hurriedly echoed: "Yes, yes! Especially the orc tribes of Bishui and Yinsha are the favorites! It is said that the mushrooms growing on Yinsha are not as fat and delicious as ours in Aomori. Of course, the Tianyu tribe of Bishui live in the sea. It’s impossible to have mushrooms there! Haha, let’s all gather more! If mushrooms can be exchanged for pearls from the Skyfish, I’ll be fine if I don’t eat them myself!!” Maybe for a gluttonous For snack foodies, it is quite a sacrifice to be able to exchange their favorite delicacies for something.
It's just that Ding laughed embarrassingly.Before these two guys can confirm whether the storage they said is feasible, they are already ready to do business?Is it a relationship of too much trust in myself, or a relationship where people here are too straightforward! !
It was about eleven o'clock at noon when I met He.At this time, the bamboo basket behind He was filled with a lot of light yellow leaves, and there were a few green branches inserted in the basket.On the pale yellow leaves, there are piles of pearl fruit ears, and there are four preserved eggs the size of Ding Xiao's palm.The animal skin bag in his hand is bulging, and there should be other gains.
Ding Xiao is most curious about leaf paper and charcoal sticks.So when I saw He, I ran over immediately: "Daddy!! Is this the leaf paper and the charcoal sticks?" The color of the leaf paper is still within the range of my understanding, but shouldn't the charcoal sticks be black?
When He saw his cubs, he immediately offered his treasure: "Daddy, there are a few big ones left alone." After speaking, he took out a small pile of warm pale yellow leaves from the animal fur jacket, and then picked them up from the branches on the basket. Break off a small branch. "Try it, it's not the same as what you want."
At this time, Qiong, Luxi, and Jing gathered together.Ding Xiao didn't mind the curiosity of these people. He put the leaf paper in his hand, took a look at the branch, and found that except for the green outside of the branch, it was really black inside.Creator, it's amazing!
Asking He to sharpen one end of the branch, Ding Xiao immediately scratched the leaf paper twice after taking it.The effect is similar to that of a pencil writing on white paper, and the pen feel is quite good, and he found that even if the charcoal branch is sharpened, the leaf paper, which is slightly thicker than ordinary writing paper, is not cut when it falls on the paper Signs, looks resilient and the coloring power is top notch! "This is really amazing! This is it, this is what I want!" Now I don't have to rely on my own diary to draw something in the future.But after touching the texture of the leaf paper, forget it, straw paper still has to be made.It is estimated that the effect of using this thing is not as good as scraping with a stick, it is smooth.Moreover, this thing has always been used by priests and village chiefs to remember things and draw totems, and to wipe their own ass... If they find out, they should not accuse themselves of disrespect... It's not worth it, it's not worth it .
Seeing that Ding Xiao scratched a few strokes on the leaf paper with a charcoal stick, the image of a swimming fish appeared on it, and the four people around were shocked.
Jingtou was the first to say: "It's amazing!!! It's just like the real thing!" Then the three people next to him also followed suit.
Ding laughed embarrassingly.In class, he also saw how people in primitive society draw pictures. In fact, some of them are quite beautiful, but most of them are full of flatness, and most of them are pictographic.Such a simple sketch of a fish by himself is just to try to add some light and dark relationships. In fact, he thinks that he wants to ask these males to help find edible plants, and it is nonsense to draw pictographic images by himself.It is right to have a sketch.Unexpectedly, the people on the side were stunned.So he raised his head and smiled at the four people: "It's not very similar! But this is what I call painting, which is very simple and very interesting. Many people can learn it." Of course, some people think it is difficult , In fact, there are people who are particularly good at and not good at doing anything, and painting is of course no exception.
Under the constant begging of Joan and Jing, Ding Xiao drew a big tree, a long-tailed rabbit, a bouquet of wild flowers, and a house at home.This is how to regain your freedom.Although he hasn't started to paint for a long time, once he touches it, his heart will itch, but he really doesn't want to draw something that is not much different from a stick figure like coaxing a child... Originally he wanted to draw a portrait of Dad, but he I also thought that if the sketches were too similar, would it scare people... So this plan was temporarily shelved.
Enough playing and curiosity, this group of people went back to the big business of collecting food.Drawing is fun, but not as important as eating.People depend on food for heaven!Ding Xiao was also happy to speed up the progress of picking mushrooms. He found that there were really a lot of mushrooms in the forest.In addition to the pine mushrooms under the pine trees and the grass mushrooms in the grass, there are many broken and dead logs growing mushrooms and black fungus.This is a big discovery.
With He's joining, the speed of pearl fruit collection has doubled. Ding Xiao is very glad that he told them yesterday that he should treat the pearl fruit plants kindly, and only allow the ears to be cut off. It is no surprise that the roots are uprooted.Thinking about what to do with the flour after returning this afternoon, Ding Xiao immediately fixed his eyes on the wild leeks beside him.Chive dumplings, I miss you very much, do you hear my call? !
The author has something to say: You really don’t need to ask about the Sky Eye.
Of course I can't forget about this thing.But Tianyan won't say that it will be there, at least in the outline I wrote, there will be a few chapters before it will be there.And the role of Tianyan in this article is not that great, it just allows you to find more edible things.And before there was no Sky Eye, didn't the tribe have many edible delicacies that could be excavated by Xiaoxiao?Only when Xiaoxiao makes achievements to be recognized by others, will his future "digging" have a great future, and only then will people be willing to trust him.This process is inevitable, and there is no lack of food in the process.So don't worry everyone.Xiaoxiao will still work hard to develop food and new gadgets.
