Marry a Wife In the Orc World - Chapter 21

Cheng Cheng felt annoyed after weaving bamboo wares at home for several days, and most of the materials for building the house were almost the same. Now clay is not good enough, but since there are clay pots in this era, it proves that clay is a very common thing. Cheng Cheng asked Lan Hua, and he said that the clay was on a nearby mountain. So the next day, Cheng Cheng deliberately got up early and asked the two Lan Hua and Lantian brothers to look for clay. Lan Hua said he took him to see it.

All three of them carry baskets when they go out. It’s become a habit. Now when they go out, they carry baskets, so they can pick wild vegetables and fruits on the road, and they can pick up some firewood if they don’t help. It is a sin to go out with bare hands. Now winter is coming soon, and everyone is busy storing materials for the winter. Even the children are doing what they can, helping to collect firewood at home.

After leaving the village, he went up the mountain and walked not far. Cheng Chengcheng found a palm tree in front of him. He ran over excitedly and looked at it carefully. This kind of thing can be made into a raincoat, which can be worn as a raincoat. With so much, it can be used to cover the roof when it is collected. Cheng Cheng cut off a piece of brown silk, took it in his hand and tore it a few times. Lan Hua asked puzzledly: “What can this do?” The palm trees have grown here for many years, and everyone has never cared about them. I think this kind of tree is useless. It has no dead branches or fallen leaves. It is useless when burned as firewood, not to mention that it can be cut down and used as wood.

“This is a good thing. Get some more to go back.” Cheng Cheng didn’t know how to explain it, but just signaled them to help. The three people spent most of the day cutting a lot of brown silk and placing them on the ground. Even the brown leaves were also cut. The bundled blue birches were transported back first. Cheng Cheng is still cleaning up the remaining part. I also plan how to use them. This palm leaf can be made into the simplest kind of big fan. Cut off the outer circle, leaving the center part, and then lock the sides, and the fan is finished. It’s very simple. In the summer, rural households have this item, and they only sell one or two yuan on the street.

Lan Hua went back, Cheng Cheng packed up the brown silk and brown leaves at hand, and started to make something to eat. He originally planned to come out all day, with a few pieces of meat and three bottles of water in the basket, and now he picked some fruits in the forest. , You can start the meal after roasting the meat. Lantian was drinking water and helping him pick up some firewood by the way. He thought about this water bottle for a long time, and today Cheng Cheng finally gave him one. It was much more convenient than a bamboo tube, mainly because it had a lid and was leak-proof. Although the bamboo tube can hold more water, it is not so light. Cheng Cheng had six bottles, one for Batu, one for Truu, and now he gave another one for Lantian. Seeing that Lan Hua often helped his fellows, he also gave him one. Now Cheng Cheng himself still has two. To be honest, this thing was everywhere before, but it has become a precious item here.

Cheng Cheng looked up and saw Lantian playing with the water bottle like a baby. He didn’t know what it was like. When I came here, I didn’t plan to go back. It’s just that it’s too backward and it’s inconvenient. Everything has to be created by yourself, but the advantage is that someone treats him well and life is simple and fulfilling. Sometimes I think about it. If people are busy all day, there is no time to think about things in their hearts. It’s no wonder that the ancestors said that they are full of warmth. I have been here for nearly three months. If I had missed Wang Qing a long time ago, now I have never seen him in a dream at night. Although he occasionally thinks of him, Wang Qing is truly far away from his life.

Soon, the roasted meat exuded a burst of aroma, and the two sat on the ground casually, one of them started to eat, and the other two pieces were reserved for Lan Hua. Although the blue birch has a large appetite, it is not a problem to eat half full. Where can I let my belly eat outside?

After eating, Blue Sky lay on the pile of leaves to rest. Cheng Cheng chose a beautiful big palm tree leaf, took out a combination tool and opened the small scissors to make a fan. Apart from the stitching, he quickly made a fan. Lan Lan opened his eyes curiously, and saw that he was done. He grabbed it and shook it like Cheng Cheng. He smiled and said, “The fan is not bad, but it’s not hot now.”

“It was originally used in summer. It won’t break when left.” Cheng Cheng locked a simple brown silk on the side of the fan, unlike the cloth strips used to lock the edges in the past, it can be used at home. Cut the animal skins to lock the edges, which will look good and durable.

It didn’t take long for Lan Hua to come back. He ate the remaining two chunks of meat in two bites, and licked his tongue with great enthusiasm. Cheng Cheng’s food was much better than the people here. Here, everyone just put some salt on the meat and grilled it, and Cheng Cheng would put some seasoning on it.

Spices are not as diverse as modern products, but there are some of the most common ones, but they are all enlarged versions of modern products. There are many places like **** and pepper, but most people don’t like them very much. Of course, this is also related to the way they use it. People here eat directly or boil water for drinking. In fact, **** syrup is better to drink, and the key to treating colds is that Cheng Cheng has been here for so long. It seems that there is no ready-made white sugar or brown sugar, even wild honey is very rare.

Originally, these two things are used as seasonings when growing vegetables. They are cooked together with meat. In addition to removing fishy and freshness, **** and pepper can remove moisture from the body. It is also good for the body to eat a little when it is cold. . When Cheng Cheng boiled the broth, he put some in the water, and the boiled meat was more delicious. And he also found some spices, like star anise cinnamon, everything is mashed into powder and mixed with salt and stored. When marinating meat, put some on the meat. Such meat will be more fragrant and tasteful when roasted. .

Only Trubatu knew about Cheng Cheng’s method, and Blue Sky Blue Hua only knew that Cheng Cheng’s food was more delicious. Although Lan Lan has been with them all the time, he seems to be particularly not interested in cooking and his craftsmanship is extremely poor. Of course, most of the people here are the same. On the contrary, Tru’s food is better. And there are more ways to do it. Like the broth, the people here just toss some mushrooms or several common wild vegetables directly in the meat and boil them together. But there are many types of wild vegetables that Trullo chooses. Some wild vegetables are not eaten by everyone. It can be seen that Trulli knows that they are delicious after long-term practice. Cheng Cheng sometimes thinks that no one is perfect. It would be great if the strengths of Tru and the strengths and the strengths of Lantian were on the same person. At least they must be the most capable females in this village.

After Cheng Cheng came, Trullo chose more wild vegetables, all of which Cheng Cheng had eaten in the countryside before. Anyway, whether it is humans, animals, or plants, they are much larger than modern ones. Cheng Cheng first started. I was shocked, now I am used to it, and I can recognize many modern species very quickly. In this way, their food variety is more abundant.

When they came out last time, Cheng Cheng and the others picked a lot of cabbage heart. They couldn’t finish it at that time. Cheng Cheng was pickled for a while, then dried and stored. In fact, if there is an airtight jar or something, it should be sealed without drying and eaten as a pickle. It’s also delicious. Later, there were some dishes that could not be finished. They were dried and stored in this way, and then eaten out in the winter. Although they are not as delicious when they are fresh, this kind of pickled vegetables also has a unique flavor. After knowing that Cheng Cheng would handle the vegetables in this way, Trull used to pick as many wild vegetables as he could every time he went out. In the past, he only picked enough for a day or two without picking, but now he picks as many as he can. If you have the proper utensils, Truu can’t wait to fill the house with food. People who were hungry in the early years always have a paranoid love for food. Of course, this is also related to the preciousness of food in this era and the long winters. Can’t find anything related to food. Just like in the north in the 1970s and 1980s, everybody would store hundreds of catties of cabbage and radishes at home in the winter. Not only the fresh ones need to be kept, but every family has to pickle several large jars of sauerkraut.

Cheng Cheng now finds that Tru has this kind of driving force. In addition to marinating meat, vegetables are also pickled a lot. Xiangshan mushrooms have been dried a lot, but every household has dried a lot of these things. There are a lot of wild mountain mushrooms, white fungus, and black fungus piled on the ground in front of each house. Meat is the staple food throughout the winter. When there is not enough meat, you can rely on these vegetables for a living, and eating meat alone is not enough for nutrition.

Cheng Cheng subconsciously picked up a pile of black fungus next to him and put it in the basket. The basket in the blue sky was already half full, and there were all kinds of dishes. This season, there are not many types of wild vegetables, and everyone who can eat them is picked with all their strength. Basically all the wild vegetables nearby have been plucked. Industrious people are always prepared. Some people have more and more things to dry in front of their houses, while some people usually prepare less, and there is less food nearby, so they can only find them farther away. Basically all adult orcs have gone out early and returned late to hunt. Females pick as many wild vegetables and fruits as possible. They should be dried in the sun and pickled.
