Transmigrated To Ancient Times To Farm And Build A Kingdom

The animal den was built on a flat mountainside.

In the distance is a lake, which is connected to the Baihe River that flows through the Heluo tribe.

Chang Xia chose this animal den because he took a fancy to this lake. Being close to the lake means that there is no shortage of water, which is convenient for planting and irrigation. At the same time, there are aquatic products such as fish and shrimp in the lake, so you don’t have to worry about being hungry even in winter.

Orcs live by hunting, supplemented by gathering.

However, the orcs do not have corresponding cooking methods, which makes their handling of ingredients simple and rude.

Aquatic products such as fish and shrimp are rarely eaten by orcs.

The main reason is that there is no means to remove the fishy smell, and the fish are thorny and easy to be injured.

The animal nests are simply organized and all animal skin curtains are uncovered for ventilation. This animal den has been unoccupied for a long time, and it needs time and effort to tidy it up.

The Heluo tribe lives near the river, and the temperature is suitable.

The orcs do not understand the esoteric construction techniques, and the animal dens are mainly in the form of crypts.

The so-called crypt-style animal den, simply explained, is to dig a hole about three meters in the ground, use stones, wood, etc. to tamp it down as the wall and foundation, and then use branches to build a round/pointy nest roof.

This kind of animal den is stronger than tents built on the ground and can keep warm from the cold.

At the same time, ventilation and transparency are also taken into account.

Compared with living in a cave, animal dens are more convenient.

"The animal skin on the roof and the wood on the wall need to be replaced." Shen Rong patted off the sand from his hands and looked around the animal den. The ground was eroded by rain and needed to be refilled and crushed. In addition, the external gutters also need to be dug again.

Chang Xia circled the animal den, a thought emerged in his heart.

When she was in the tribe before, she thought about building a house. Unfortunately, my health was too poor at that time, and I was always sick. Coupled with the fact that she is not an adult, the tribe is worried that she will leave the tribe to live alone, so she can't put her ideas into action.

nowadays.

After getting married, Chang Xia had time to build her own animal den—a cave dwelling.

"Live first, and wait for us to settle down. I want to build a new animal den, which is completely different from the tribe's."

Chang Xia said while pointing to the hillside to the west of the animal den.

The pitch-black eyes shone with dazzling brilliance, making Shen Rong feel like he was being burned.

"I believe you." Shen Rong nodded without thinking too much.

When the tribe sent them over, they brought Chang Xia's things with them.

Four back baskets, containing all Chang Xia's items.

Shen Rong, he brought someone with him.

Fortunately, the long winter has passed, and the Heluo tribe has entered a warm spring. Unlike Earth, Dusk Forest has no distinct seasons. Spring and summer are one season, autumn and winter are one season, and the warm and cold seasons are distinct.

Although the warm and cold seasons are distinct, it does not affect the rich species of the Dusk Forest.

After hearing Shen Rong's words, Chang Xia was in a great mood.

Because of his health, Chang Xia was often talked about by his clansmen, even if this kind of talk was in good faith, after listening to it for a long time, it would inevitably make people feel uncomfortable.

Shen Rong's trust made Chang Xia more satisfied and brought him back to the tribe.

"Let's tidy up the animal nest first. Later, I'll go back to the lake to get the fish basket. At noon, I'll make fish balls for you to eat." Chang Xia walked briskly, ready to move wood and repair the animal nest. These woods were sent by the clansmen to repair the animal dens. After all, in the eyes of the clansmen, Xia Shenrong, one was weak and sick, and the other was terminally ill. If you don't help a little, maybe people will disappear.

quite a while.

A clean and bright animal den appeared.

A change from the dilapidated one before.

The tribe sent enough wood, and Chang Xia asked Shen Rong to help straighten the wood, make it into blocks, and splice and inlay it into a floor.

Busy, approaching noon.

There is meat sent by the tribe in the back basket, about ten catties. Half a basket of wild vegetables and fruits, the fruits are a little wilted, they should have been stored last year.

"I'm planning to go to the lake to collect fish baskets, are you going? If you go, take the wild vegetables and wash them.

At noon, we have fish ball and vegetable soup. "

"go."

Carrying half a basket of wild vegetables, he walked down the hillside and walked towards the lake.

Two-thirds of the Baihe River flows through the territory of the Heluo Tribe. The lake in front of Changxia Gate is connected to the Baihe River, and there is no shortage of fish and shrimp in the lake.

Chang Xia led Shen Rong to a reed bush by the lake, bent down, and dragged the fish basket out of the lake.

Very heavy.

It seems that the harvest is very good.

This fish basket is woven by Changxia with ivy.

In order to eat in one bite, she had to work hard. At the same time, you have to hide from your clansmen, so as not to be said to be "not doing your job properly".

However, Chang Xia planned to find a chance to hoard some food and invite the clansmen to have a meal after the beast den was cleaned up. Give the recipe of fish balls to the tribe.

Fishing is much safer than going out hunting.

"This is..." Shen Rong stepped forward to take the fish reel in Chang Xia's hand, and looked at it. The fish reel was slender and flat, and the ivy was rough without being baked and tanned.

"Fish basket." Chang Xia said: "I am in poor health and cannot go out to collect, let alone participate in hunting. Usually when I am free in the tribe, I like to think about it."

While talking and gesticulating, he told Shen Rong the principle of making the fish basket.

This one has poor health and little strength.

The woven fish basket was scrapped after being used twice, and I told Shen Rong that I obviously hoped that he could weave a few by hand. In this way, you won't have to worry about not being able to eat fish and shrimp in the future.

"Chang Xia, you are amazing!" Shen Rong exclaimed.

Fish baskets are easy to make, even if the orc cubs can do it.

The winter in the Dusk Forest is extremely cold, and it is difficult for even the most powerful orcs to hunt down prey. Fishy, ​​but filling.

The fish basket undoubtedly gave the orcs a new way of life.

"Pour out the wild vegetables and wash them, and pour the fish in. Today's harvest is average, and it's best to come early in the morning to collect the fish baskets."

Chang Xia pointed at the broken fish basket with a look of regret.

Four herrings weighing six to seven catties, a few catties of river prawns, and a river crab. It's a pity that they came late. If they had been earlier, they would have gained more.

The Heluo tribe seldom eat fish.

There are many fish and shrimps in the Baihe River and lakes, and the fish weighing six to seven catties are small fish. Big fish generally weigh more than ten catties, and some fish weigh tens of catties.

Don't ask Chang Xia why she knows, she made a fishing rod secretly before, and wants to do a big job. Leaving aside the harvest, the man was almost dragged into the Baihe River to feed the fish.

After that, she directly gave up the idea of ​​fishing.

At least, until the physical exercise is good, I dare not have the idea of ​​fishing again.

Herring, few spines, tender meat.

It is quite similar to the perch that Chang Xia knew.

It is perfect for making fish balls.

River prawns, even without seasoning, are simply boiled, and the taste cannot be more delicious. Even the shrimp shell Chang Xia was not willing to waste it. He kept it and planned to dry it and grind it into powder to use as a seasoning.

Carry the fish and shrimp, and take the washed wild vegetables and fruits.

The two of Chang Xia returned to the animal den.

Near the door of the animal den, a stone hearth was piled up, and a slender clay pot was hung above it.

Orcs usually barbecue and stew in the open air, and there are hearths piled up in this animal den.

It can be seen that he should be a fastidious person.

It just so happened that Chang Xia was not used to cooking with an open fire.

The animal den is four to five meters high, and the top of the den is scattered, which is enough to ventilate and exhaust the smoke.

Shen Rong lit a fire, and the fish and shrimp were cleaned up by the lake. Holding a bone knife, Chang Xia peeled the skin and bones of the herring, and then cut the fish into small pieces. Without a wall breaker, Chang Xia could only manually chop the fish into mud, which was very exhausting, but in order to eat, Chang Xia did not I don't feel hard.

"Shen Rong, go to the second basket next to the wall and bring me a bird egg."

The orcs call eggs, duck eggs, and bird eggs all bird eggs. Chang Xia couldn't tell the type of the egg, so he simply called it a bird's egg.

After taking the egg, Chang Xia smashed it and took out the yolk, left the egg white and poured it into the fish, added salt and a little fruit powder, and then started to stir. Fruit powder is a starch-like powder. It is made from a kind of fruit called ginkgo, which is dried and ground.

When a cub is born, the tribe will use fruit powder and water to boil it into a paste and feed it to the cub.

However, Chang Xia thinks that fruit powder has other uses, and she will think about it when she has time, maybe she can eat rice noodles or noodles.

Jiang, Chang Xia hasn't found it yet.

She found a lot of chives, and there were still a lot of shallots in the basket, and she planned to plant them in a spot next to the animal den, so that there would be no shortage of shallots for cooking and cooking in the future.

Finely chop shallots, add water and soak.

Then pour the shallot water into the chopped fish paste little by little, add water while pouring, and keep beating at the same time, repeating this several times.

Once done, refrigerate for a while in cold water.

Shen Rong quietly watched Chang Xia busy. The orcs are not obsessed with eating, as long as they can eat enough. Looking at Chang Xia's meticulous movements, he seemed to have found the reason for Chang Xia's frailty.

"Are you hungry? Feel hungry, eat some fruit first, and I'll be ready soon." Chang Xia said.

After speaking, add water to the clay pot and heat it over low heat.

Start to squeeze the fish balls, the movement is neat and crisp. The snow-white fish meat looks very appetizing.

While speaking, fish balls the size of lychee floated up and down in the clay pot, looking very beautiful.

At the same time, a different kind of delicious smell permeated from the animal nest.

Seeing that the fish balls were almost cooked, Chang Xia put the wild vegetables in again, added salt, and a pinch of shrimp powder to taste.

In the end, the picked egg yolk was not wasted, and she poured it in.

Cuckoo!

Shen Rong rubbed his stomach, slightly embarrassed, and took the fish ball and wild vegetable soup that was good in Changxia.

"It's so fresh and delicious." Shen Rong said in surprise.

He never thought that the fish tasted so delicious.

Chang Xia took small bites of the fish balls. There was no ginger and cooking wine, and there was still a slight fishy smell. Still, the taste is much stronger than half-baked roasts and stews.

Sure enough, getting married was the right thing to do.
