Marry a Wife In the Orc World - Chapter 25

In the new house, even the windows and doors are not fixed, and there are windows around the walls. Now they are all hollow. There are only a few bamboo fences, and they have to be temporarily blocked with grass. The gate and the door are even more difficult. Only big holes were left, but fortunately, there were still unused straw mats. They were put on the door first. They didn’t have time to clean up their new home, so they moved in hastily. Everyone still slept in the same way as before, spreading animal skins on the ground. Although it was already very cold, in any case, this kind of house is much better than the houses where most people live.

The night mileage was awake, and the temperature seemed to drop a lot suddenly. The north wind was whistling. Although the leaky windows were temporarily blocked with grass, the doors were also covered with those unfinished small mats, but the wind was still He kept pouring into the room. Cheng Cheng actually had a lot of animal skins on his bed. Everyone else had their own quilts. Before going to bed, he piled all the unused animal skins on his bed, and Cheng Cheng lay down on his bed. It was laid on the airy and gloomy floor, and finally fell asleep, before waking up again in the middle of the night. I felt colder when I was awake, and it became colder the more I slept. Later, I couldn’t resist it anymore and I had to get up.

Cheng Cheng wakes up early, nothing is dry and cold, so he has to stay alone in the kitchen and light the fire and start to boil water. While leaning against the fire, he weaves straw mats. Thinking about sleeping without a bed, we will make some straw mats and use them when they are free. Then, slowly make a bed, put a straw mat on the ground, and then cover with animal skins. Not only will the animal skins be less damp, but also warmer, and sleep will be more comfortable. After roasting for a while, I felt warmer, and after drinking a few sips of boiling water, I felt more comfortable, and the movements on my hands became quicker, and my stiff fingers became more flexible.

When Lan Lan and Truu got up, Cheng Cheng had fallen asleep leaning against the stove, wrapped in a large piece of animal skin, and holding a handful of grass in his hand. The grass mat on the ground had been woven several inches long, and it was in a clay pot. The water was still gurgling, and the room was warmer because of the constant fire.

“He won’t stay up all night, right?” Lantian asked Tru. It was cold last night and everyone was tired for many days. After supper, they all went to bed. Everyone had a good night’s sleep, except Cheng Cheng.

Two voices awakened Cheng Cheng. He yawned and said, “It’s dawn, right?”

“It’s already bright, why are you sleeping here, is it too cold?” Trull asked.

“It’s cold to death, Lantian, where are the winter clothes you made for me?” Cheng Cheng asked, rubbing his sore shoulder. He slept by the fire for a short night, twisting his body and feeling uncomfortable.

Lantian hurried in and took out two pieces of clothing and said, “Oh, I forgot to give it to you last night.” Cheng Cheng took it and put it on his body. Although he is wearing all his clothes now, he is still cold. cold war. With this thick fur coat, I immediately felt much warmer. It’s just that the style of this coat is too simple. It is made up of two pieces of fur stitched together. The length is a little bit below the knee, and there is a hole in the middle that can be drilled. There is no sleeve at all, and a rope is used around the waist. One line is over. However, although the style is not good-looking, it is very practical. It is also convenient to wear. Put on a long skirt below, and the upper legs are also warm, and everyone’s clothes are like this. However, Lan Lan told him that it was not the coldest time yet, and he was rushing to make a thicker coat. It will take two or three days to complete it. So Cheng Cheng is looking forward to the new coat.

Tru and Lantian also wore winter clothes. Everyone had thick coats and long skirts like this. In addition, they would also wear a thick cloth-like clothes underneath, and their feet were covered with animal skins. Even so, Cheng Cheng felt that they were wearing a lot less than themselves. The clothes on their bodies were obviously old. They must have been worn for a few years, but they were used to the climate here, and Cheng Cheng didn’t. So afraid of the cold. Although Lan Hua and Batu wore the same clothes, they obviously didn’t feel cold at all. Lantian smiled and told Cheng Cheng: “They are orcs, they are not very cold. And in winter, they are mostly animal-shaped with thick skin, so they don’t need to make a lot of thick winter clothes.”

Cheng Cheng understood why Lantian and Tru were not in a hurry to make new clothes for the orcs in the family. On the contrary, the two of them have been working together to make a coat for him in the past two days. It’s cold again now, and seeing Cheng Cheng fight every day with the cold, the two had to rush to work overnight. Just finished this coat last night, plus a long skirt.

After breakfast, Cheng Cheng and Lan Hua Truu went up the mountain to go hunting together. They had to hurry up and get food at the last moment. Calculated based on the food intake of their family of five, a winter is about three to four months, and their family has to prepare at least four to five thousand catties of food. But currently speaking, their family only has a thousand catties of meat, and 90% of them belong to the Lan family. Originally, the two brothers of the Lan family only needed about 1,500 catties. In fact, the blue sky didn’t eat much. They mainly ate blue birch. They had nearly 1,000 catties of meat. The rest of the dried vegetables, rice noodles, fruits, and other things were also included. Two to three hundred catties, and another thirty big eggs (the egg alone, the blue sky can be used as food for several days.) Their food is actually enough. Now the two families are combined into one family, and the two brothers The food becomes insufficient.

I remembered that the meat piled up like a hill in the house a few days ago disappeared in the belly of the orcs who helped them build the house. Cheng Cheng was heartbroken. I knew they could eat so much, so I should have hired two fewer people. of. In fact, it was because Cheng Cheng made some mistakes in his own calculations. He originally thought it would not take much time to build a house like this, but it took another five or six days to actually act. One is that their preparation skills are insufficient, and the other is that this is not a modern society. All things have to be done by manpower. Of course, the speed is a little bit worse. Of course, it’s because they prepare less food.

Speaking of food, Cheng Cheng and Tru are taking advantage of the Lan family. Almost 90% of the family’s current food stock is moved from the Lan family. Even so, these foods cannot survive the winter. Hungry in winter, they must go hunting quickly and prepare as much food as possible before the storm comes.

Originally, blue birch eats the most food here, but the orcs will spend most of their time sleeping in winter, so they can’t eat as usual, they have to be reduced by half. On the contrary, Tru and Cheng Cheng’s food intake will not decrease, maybe it will increase, because it is too cold and there must be enough food to maintain the body’s heat energy. Although Batu will also reduce his appetite, he is a child. In order to grow his body, he will not sleep and eat like an adult orc, just eat a little smaller than usual. So these three people eat more. Based on eating two meals a day, a person will have to eat ten catties a day. Three people cost more than 30 catties. Although the blue sky eats less, if it is halved, it will cost about five catties a day. Lan Hua usually eats about 20 catties for a meal, and now it costs about ten catties to subtract half of it. Therefore, the food that a family eats in one day is about 45 kilograms. It costs 1,500 jin in one month and 4,500 jin in three months, so the food at home is really much worse. There are no rice and flour in this era. At least until now, Dachengcheng has not found anyone living on these two things. These two things will increase a lot when they are cooked, but the meat will become less when they are cooked. Moreover, rice and noodles are easier to fill up. Just like when we usually eat, we only need to put a small amount of rice to cook a small pot of rice, but we have to prepare a few dishes, or stir fry a few dishes, so eating vegetables and meat is better than eating rice. Eat more.

Because of the abnormal weather this year, everyone is afraid that spring will be delayed. Although the sky has changed, there are still many orcs going up the mountain, but in this way, Tru and the others will not gain much. Firstly, the animals have found a good place to spend the winter. Secondly, because of the excessive hunting by the orcs, there are very few prey in the nearby mountains. And because it was snowing, everyone didn’t dare to run far, so everyone didn’t get much. Blue Hua hunted a wild boar weighing about one hundred catties. Cheng Cheng and Truu hit a rabbit weighing about fifty catties. This is not enough for them to eat for three days.

The author has something to say: I am exhausted after adding a day of work on New Year’s Day.
