Orcs Build a Well-off Society - 64
The rainy season has lasted for more than ten days, but because of the rain gear and things that can be played indoors, this dull weather is not so intolerable. So when one day, when people opened the door, they found the dazzling sun outside and heard the chirping of birds in the woods, they understood that the rainy season was over.
The rainy season is over and the sun is out. Ah, how beautiful the world is! How brilliant the sun is! How fresh the air is! What a vast sky!
“Xiao Ming, hurry up!” It was a rare time in civilization that wanted to pretend to be a young literary and artistic youth. Before he had time to prepare that little fan, he was interrupted by Neil’s voice.
“Oh, wait for me!” Wenming hurriedly put the small back basket on his back, tied the straw sandals on his feet tightly again, and rushed up in three steps in two steps—group activities, picking things, and going.
Civilization is very excited, not only because it finally became clear, but also because the rain stopped—think about it, in those fairy tales that I heard when I was a child, what was the most that appeared in the woods after the rain? Little mushroom picking girl! Uh, no, the point is not the little girl but the mushrooms, although now he has become a mushroom picker…
Following the large group of troops, Parson was pregnant because of his pregnancy, and Crusch refused to let Parson go to those “high-risk sports.” Everyone also understands the mood of Crusch, the prospective dad, so Wenming and Neal both help to collect. Of course, Kelly, who is about to be promoted to a grandfather, is also doing his part to help, and his son should take care of himself.
All the way, the sub-orcs chirped and were very happy. Civilization discovered that Libby was also not far away, chatting with several other Orcs, seeming to notice the gaze of Civilization, he turned his head to look at Civilization, and it was originally a light and fluttering glance across Civilization, but I didn’t know what I saw, his eyes widened suddenly, a strange expression appeared on his face, he glared at Wenming angrily and turned his head.
Wenming rubs his nose-did he mess with him? Before I could figure it out, Neil approached him with a smirk, and clicked and clicked his fingers in the air: “I said Xiao Ming, if you are close to Palos, why bother to show it to others? Jealous? Little villain~”
Wenming followed Neil’s finger and saw a few red hickeys on his chest. He quickly covered it and stuttered: “Who…who shows affection…you, don’t talk nonsense…” Palos, last night…
Actually let others see it. Did Libyya see this just now? But…Alright, facing him, he is always obsessed with Palos, huh, jealous or something, so there is no grin╭(╯^╰)╮!
After the rainy season, the air was filled with a fragrance of mixed vegetation and soil. Although wearing straw sandals is much more convenient than walking barefoot, in order to prevent falling, the orcs still broke a branch and walked together, or walked together holding hands. The tip of some leaves has already appeared yellow and clear. This is probably a sign of the coming of autumn.
Everyone knows that two or three days after the rainy season is not allowed to pick the fruit, because the fruit at this time is easy to have diarrhea. But you have to pick it, because after a few days, after the water vapor evaporates, the edible fruits will become very sweet and delicious. But at that time, not only the Orcs knew that the fruit was sweet and delicious, the birds and the small animals that liked to eat fruits would also come to “share a piece of the pie”, and sometimes the Orcs were not as easy to eat as those animals.
So take advantage of the small animals before they start to “start”, first pick them back and store them, either dry the water or expose it to the sun directly, although there is only a small amount after drying, but good or bad It’s also for food.
I have to say that there are still a lot of fruits here, although they are larger than the civilization cognition, and these sub-orcs seem to have already known that these things are edible. As a result, the back basket carried by each Orc was quickly filled with all kinds of pears, apples, tangerines, oranges, honey pomelos, and so on.
Civilization turned out to buy fruits and go home to eat every day, so he was very clear about the types of fruits, so when the sub-orcs were all busy, he picked some hawthorns and persimmons that no one cared about.
Kelly discovered the civilized behavior. He didn’t directly say that these things cannot be eaten. He just said: “Xiao Ming, what did you pick this for? That red one is not a sweet berry, it is very sour and not tasty. And that green The pimple is even more unpalatable. Not only is it not sweet, but it is full of astringent taste after a bite.”
“Yeah, yes, that thing seems to be stiff after eating it, and it doesn’t even move!” Neil looked at the big green guys in the civilization back basket with a puzzled face, but soon Yes, Neil’s eyes rolled round, and a smile “You know I know” appeared, “Is it possible, Xiao Ming… Actually, do you know how to make these things delicious?”
As soon as Neil’s words were spoken, the other sub-orcs who had finished their work and were busy all looked at Civilization with gleaming eyes, expecting Civilization to say an affirmative answer. After all, there are still a lot of that kind of pimple trees.
Because this persimmon tree is quite tall, and this alien persimmon tree is even taller, civilization can only stand on tiptoe and pick a few of the lowered branches.
Even if there are dozens of them each, it is more than enough! Moreover, if it can be eaten, then even if it is possible to reserve a portion of food for the winter-anyway, they now have a cellar, not too much, not too much.
Wenming took out a big persimmon: “I think the reason why you think this thing is bitter and astringent is mainly because it is immature. Look, look at this blue skin, it feels hard to the touch, it means that it is not ripe. Well.”
“Since it’s not cooked, what do you take it off for? Isn’t it the same and can’t be eaten?” Libby said when he did not know. After hearing what he said, the light in the eyes of a few expectant Orcs also dimmed slightly.
“Don’t worry, I haven’t finished it yet.” Wenming said with a big smile. “There are two reasons for picking off the persimmons now. The first one is because everyone is there. When the time comes It’s more convenient to pick it. Didn’t you say that you want to pick it off earlier? Also, don’t look at this persimmon now that it is completely immature. When it’s ripe, it will rot quickly, and the bird will rot soon. Pecking speed is faster than our picking speed…”
After a pause, the civilization looked at the Orcs and they all understood, “Although this thing is still green, we can manually cover it up! It will taste as sweet and sweet by then,” Seeing Neil seems to be drooling, Wenming smiled, “In addition to eating fresh, this thing can also be made into dried persimmon cakes, which can be stored for a long, long time. The key is that this thing is very full. ”
There was a time when a civilized mother kept talking about healthy eating after watching TV. Civilized was forced to look through the nature of the food she usually eats. He still remembers that persimmons, especially the soft and red ripe persimmons, have many functions, such as clearing the lungs and nourishing the stomach, promoting the production of fluids and quenching thirst, and can also treat dry mouth and lips. And even if it is such a green persimmon, it can prevent hyperthyroidism if it is smashed and eaten with honey.
Civilization doesn’t know if there is iodine in the salt it eats now, but this thing is still important to everyone, especially since it is not facing the sea, there is no wakame, seaweed, seaweed, shrimp paste or the like.
Kelly nodded in agreement and said to everyone: “Everyone heard what Xiao Ming said? Then we will go and pick them all. If it is not lucky to get back, we can come again tomorrow, or we can notify the orcs to arrive. Time to help.”
Kelly saw that everyone was eager to try. He waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet before asking Xiaoming, “Then what’s the matter with that red fruit?”
“Uh…this is hawthorn,” Wenming scratched his face with a finger embarrassed. “I just thought about sour ones or Parson would like to eat them…” As for the candied haws he still thought of, ah, I’m so embarrassed to say it. />///<~~
With a “boom…”, the Orcs all laughed kindly. The story of Parson’s pregnancy spread quickly, so everyone knew that they all responded with great kindness to the new life. So when everyone was picking the persimmons, everyone picked some hawthorns more or less and gave them to Xiaoming and the others, and asked them to pass on to Parson on their behalf. It was also their heart and blessing to Parson.
There are a lot of things in the back basket of civilization, and it’s a bit too much to keep carrying it on his back, so he temporarily leaned the back basket next to a big rock, looked down at the left and right… suddenly, his eyes lit up!
“Ah! Xiao Ming! Let go! Let go!” Civilization just picked a few big mushrooms, and was shaken by a sharp voice. Before he could react, he saw Neil like a gust of wind. He rushed over, and hit the hands of Civilization with a “pop!” The big mushrooms that Civilization had just picked were all hit on the ground. It’s not over yet. Neil quickly grabbed a handful of dewy grass and applied it on Wenming’s hand, while babbling, “How stupid you are, how can you touch that with your hands! If your hands are broken What can I do?!”
Kelly also discovered the situation here, and said seriously: “Neil was also worried about you just now, Xiaoming. Although these things look good, they can’t be eaten. This is because someone has been poisoned by these things, so ancestors stayed for generations. Lessons coming down.”
“You must not be talking about this kind of thing. Although I know that mushrooms are poisonous, I have eaten these things before, and they are delicious.” With a dissatisfied gaze, Civilization turned his head and said, “I know these brightly colored things cannot be eaten, but trust me, these are edible! Otherwise, let’s try some other small animals first?”
Seeing that everyone still had doubts about that, Wenming turned his eyes around and immediately thought of a simple way. To say that civilization can distinguish fungi is purely coincidental.
Although he usually cooks, he knows all about shiitake mushrooms, oyster mushrooms, and enoki mushrooms, and he also knows the so-called “the more beautiful and beautiful things are more poisonous and untouchable”, but the correct identification is due to the addition of a “bacteria” when he was in college. “Like Research Society” club, the first club activity is to identify fungi. After learning it, it can be regarded as another useful piece of knowledge.
Seeing that everyone agrees with what they said, the civilization hurriedly said: “This, this, we only need to use those dusty mushrooms… It is normal to have a layer of mucus on the outside. Of course, it can’t be too much. Many…Ahhhhh, don’t touch that…Although it looks almost the same, look at the handles below…um, yes, these can be picked…Mushrooms usually appear after the rain, so we should try our best Collect more while the air is still moist these days, so as not to dry up in a few days…”
So, once again, when the sunset finally came to the west, these sub-orcs had to let the orcs be “coolies.” There is no way, persimmons, hawthorns, mushrooms and the like are unexpected things…especially persimmons, dozens per person, plus the sturdy honey pomelo, it’s called a heavy…Although there is a basket, But it’s still heavy!
As Kelly said, the road is slippery after the rain, so you still can’t be too aggressive. Besides, the orcs are also very happy to help.
Although they are out hunting, the orcs, especially the “lonely” orcs, see Palos and Civilization, Sigmund and Neal, and several other pairs of sweet and sweet appearances, the orcs are even more so. I have enough energy to show my reliability-oh oh, in order to spend the winter and the other half, you must perform well anyway!
The author has something to say: I found that there are so many delicious foods in autumn, and I have to prepare so many things for the winter… Well, it’s really troublesome, I ask for comfort and corruption, and give the sand squirrel the power to hoard food. Text it! Wailing—
The ancient Egyptian language of sand will begin tomorrow. Everyone will come back by stepping on the mummies (rebirth through)
