Orcs’ Time Through Time - Chapter 69

Now that I am preparing for the New Year, I naturally want to mobilize everyone to prepare.

I first told you the general reasons for the New Year. I explained the laws of the vernal equinox, summer solstice, autumnal equinox, and winter solstice clearly, and told them this cycle so that they could understand that this happens every year, and it is a kind of The laws that have always existed will not change with anything.

Although you don’t have an intuitive understanding of this, you also remember that the annual harvest time is almost the same, and you probably have some impressions about these things. In addition, the winter is really boring, so everyone agreed to the New Year’s proposal without any doubt.

At the same time, we officially began to establish what we later called the new calendar. The calculation method was 60 minutes per hour, about 40 hours a day, 30 days a month, and twelve months a year. The history of the new clan.

I am not sure that this chronology method is completely accurate. In fact, in this society, if any pioneer wants 100 minutes per hour or something, it is entirely personal will, but according to the chronology method I am accustomed to, this system I have been using it while I was alive.

Although there is no guarantee that the length of each hour is absolutely correct, because the most important thing we use is the accuracy of each day, that is to say, based on the four solar terms, to ensure that each day before and after is not wrong, as for the hour or something. For a long time, this is a measure of the length of time, not a certain number of points. In other words, we all like to say that I will spend a few hours doing this, but few people say what time it is now, because no one knows what time it is, even myself, I just guess roughly That’s it.

Planning for the New Year, then the first year will have a good time.

I still remember celebrating the New Year when I was a child, setting off firecrackers, making at least ten dishes at home, eating dumplings and glutinous rice balls, and then the whole family gathered to watch the Spring Festival Gala. Speaking of the happiest time, it was when I was a child when I was watching black-and-white TV with my grandparents, father, mother, siblings, and other relatives around the stove.

Here, we don’t have firecrackers, drums are simple, and gongs are not. If you want to eat, there are very few things you can eat.

But the way to live when you are full, and the way to live when you are hungry. I still want to try my best to let everyone try the feeling of the New Year together.

So, a few days before January 1st of the new calendar that I determined, we started to prepare.

Although it is winter and the prey on the grassland is not fat, Canaan took Hongda and they hunted a cow and a few sheep back. Luo Lei took Lux and a few people to catch a few wild boars and hunted. For a bear, Rona and Ye Jia took a few older children to dig out a few honeycombs and made a lot of honey. In this respect, Rona is much better than me and Rory.

There are no plants now, but I have wild lemons and peppers, ginger, green onions and garlic that I collected in autumn. Ayuan also provides several kinds of peculiar aromas. It is said that even after eating, they can resist cold and can be used as seasoning. There are two kinds of herbs with similar taste to star anise and cinnamon. Although the wild vegetables are nothing, but we also dried dried radishes and pickles in the autumn.

After collecting so many things, we removed some of the potatoes and sweet potatoes from our cellar. The barley was washed and used, and the wheat was ground into semolina for use. Moreover, I also intend to show everyone my secret weapon!

Starting the day before preparing for the New Year, the clan was already busy.

We salted the cut meat and prepared it for the bonfire the next night. The barley is going to be used to cook porridge, but it can be used as eight-treasure porridge; I made sweet potato **** with part of the semolina, and I plan to use oil at that time Fried and eaten. Although we didn’t receive much oil this year, I saw something rotten on the ground in the back mountain, which can definitely be used as a secret weapon for next year, so I am willing to use rare things for the New Year alone.

Children like to eat deep-fried sweet potato balls. For this reason, we made some pancakes and prepared to eat them tomorrow night.

Dried radish is used to make meatballs with wild boar’s lean meat and steamed in the pot. Dried pickled vegetables are used to steam those that are a little fat, boiled with ginger, star anise, etc., and they don’t have much smell. Wild boar.

When I was in the He ethnic group, I made steamed fish with tempeh at home, but at that time, because I received not many soybeans, tempeh was almost never promoted. The tempeh that was originally intended to be used for promotion was only eaten by a few people. Over.

Although I would like to give everyone a taste of the tempeh, but this time, I have other things I can use.

For beef, I plan to use some of the few onions in the cellar that have begun to shrink. Although the so-called onion roast beef is only boiled with beef and onions, it’s not bad. It is also a fresh taste, and probably because most of the people here are of the kind of western blood that we define, so they all like things with heavy taste. They like the taste of onions very much. Of course, I also like them very much. After all, onions are the meat in vegetables.

Prepare all the materials needed for the New Year’s Day in advance. It seems that the day will dawn after not sleeping long.

Early in the morning, A Rui knocked on the door excitedly: “Ah, ah, new year, new year.”

The word New Year was made by me, and Arui and the others had already pronounced it very clearly.

Pushing away, Luo Lei suddenly tightened his arms and looked back at Luo Lei’s grievances. I couldn’t help but stretched out my hand and rubbed his face. Luo Lei, who was jealous with the kid, was so cute. Up.

I patted him on the shoulder, motioned him to get up, and told him that today, he will see more surprises.

Although he didn’t seem to care about this kind of surprise to me very much, but Luo Lei was still very good, grabbed me and kissed and got up by himself, leaving me sitting on the bed and still stunned by the mouth-he moved his hands and feet Habits can’t be changed. Although I have warned him many times to keep a distance when he can’t do it, he always can’t remember and runs faster than anything when he violates it.

With resentment towards Luo Lei, although she still wanted to sleep, Ari had already ran in: “Ah, hurry up, and A-ba said they would beat the drums first, and then sacrifice to the gods, and A-ba said you I will make good food in the evening, and Aque and I will help you, ah…”

A Rui is a snack food, I have always known it, but I didn’t expect Aque to come to our house early in the morning, and reluctantly asked A Rui to let me, at least let me put on a cotton-padded jacket, and I saw it. Que was standing by the door looking at us with some dodging eyes.

In order to comfort the two little babies, I had to give each of them a roasted sweet potato first.

Seeing them carefully holding the roasted sweet potatoes and gnawing at them, I feel a little sad-in the future, we must live a better life.

At noon, we wanted to priest to the **** of the day, so we made honey-glazed barbecue and dried radish stew, cooked beef with onion, and cooked barley porridge.

Although the things are not necessarily exquisite, everyone is very happy, especially the children. Early in the morning, they rushed to watch us cook and eat, and they also took the initiative to help sweep the snow on the square and clean it up. Those who accidentally step on the ice that may slip.

Ye Jia accidentally slipped a big somersault while cleaning the ice, which scared me and Ayuan were a big jump. But when we asked him if there was anything wrong, he shook his head in a hurry and ran away as soon as the smoke slipped. There is no way with Ayuan.

Sometimes Ayuan looked at me and Luo Lei’s gaze a little envious, I think his partner is probably the most uncomfortable thing for him. Sometimes I look at Canaan and think he is also good to Ayuan.

In fact, people here don’t care about the first or second marriage. The important thing is that both parties have feelings and can live a good life together.

Seeing A Yuan staring at Ye Jia, I suddenly thought that maybe A Yuan could also find a good dad for An Xin. As for Ye Jia, there is an Ah, maybe he wouldn’t look with that kind of envy. To Rona and Ari.

Although the children were scared by the running around, they were a little shackled.

However, the overall preparations are still very smooth.

The scent of fried sweet potato **** keeps the children around the cooking side, and they are reluctant to leave a step, because they are afraid that they will not be able to eat them when they are too late.

As for the pancakes, the greedy children are even more drooling. From time to time, children come to ask: “Anoah, when can I eat?”

I smiled and asked them to wait patiently, because there will be more delicious things later.

Maybe it’s because there is nothing at all. The children here have been very sensible almost since they were young. I said that I had to wait a little longer, and they got together and continued to drool, muttering.

Although the male groups did not urge them to eat, they were a bit hungry. Hongda walked around in front of me several times. Although he didn’t say anything, I still read the signal of “I’m hungry, I’m hungry” very clearly by looking at his eager eyes.

The stew with dried radish is terrible and the meat on the dried pickles is also very fragrant.

The honey-glazed barbecue has a sweet and attractive taste in the hands of the male who is making low stools and barbecue on the other side, and because the meat is grilled by flame bear, we can almost imagine the deliciousness of the meat. And tender.

I asked Luo Lei to make a large steamer out of bamboo sticks some time ago. At the moment, it is placed on a stove made of mud and bricks. Below is a large pottery pot where rice porridge is being cooked.

There are four layers on the steamer. Two layers are steaming fish, one layer is steamed with meatballs covered with rice, and the other layer is steaming and boiled meat cooked with dried pickles, although it may not reach ours. The taste of pork with dried plums and vegetables, but the taste should not be much.

In the clay pots next to them, there are two roast beef with onions, which are very popular at noon, and two, also exuding a drooling aroma.

Everyone came to check it out from time to time, but no one could see what was missing in the pot. I even put a lid on it specially.

However, the scent is too tempting, and it is also a taste that no one has ever tasted. Even Luo Lei came to see me several times.

Not to mention Ari, who looked at me blankly several times.

I went back and checked the degree of ripeness of the contents of the pot several times, and tried using chopsticks to see if the steamed meat with pickled vegetables and so on was completely steamed.

In the eyes of everyone looking forward to it, I called Canaan and Luo Lei and told them to prepare to sacrifice to the gods and ancestors.

Extraordinary: Luo Lei (2)

Arnold surprised me very much. He has become a completely different person.

He can hunt for a lot of things and make delicious things, and he doesn’t even fear others anymore.

When he greeted Monte and the others, including Luo Lie, in front of me, I found that I felt very uncomfortable. Although he came here to bring me barbecue, even though he brought me water in a wooden tube that he said was bamboo, even though the meat was so delicious that Xinmu even snatched a piece of it before I paid attention. , And threw directly into his mouth triumphantly in front of everyone.

I don’t know what kind of feeling this is, and I don’t know if I started to like him after I got married, but I know that I sympathize with Arnold, who was always crying secretly, but I don’t like him.

He also became very interesting. I gave him a piece of propolis to make him dance happily. I personally sent me out and waved to me to be careful when I go out.

There has never been a female in the clan doing this. The females in the clan just do their own thing when the male goes out, and occasionally send it out without saying a word.

This is the first time everyone saw him. Xin Mu even punched me and said how I changed him.

Actually, who knows, I didn’t do anything to him at all.

On this day, he went out again, and again came back later than us.

Abba said he said he only wandered around the tribe.

I glared at Dad, do you believe what he said? If he doesn’t hurry up now, he doesn’t know where he is going. Even Ah Ma sighed. In the past, Arnold was worried about staying at home all day, but now Arnold is not at home all day, making people worry about it. Sure enough, this stimulus has suffered so much that Arnold has changed his sex. Similar.

Because I was too worried, I could only wait for him at the door, and even make a decision. If he doesn’t come back, I will go out and look for it.

However, he returned soon, holding a deer with a limping foot in his hand, carrying four rabbits of different sizes in his hand, and carrying two large animal skin bags in grief.

I have to say that when I saw his gains like this, I was very surprised.

But soon, I just helped him carry the things in his hands and back, and led him back to the tribe.

The people of the tribe are naturally suspicious of Arnold’s harvest. Even I can’t believe that a female can catch a wild boar yesterday and a deer today. The daily harvest is more than that of a male!

Everyone even started to talk about his beastization when he was a child, and some even privately said whether he was beastized again.

Although I think there must be a reason, I am still a little unhappy to hear everyone talking like this. After all, he will be my partner.

But he didn’t seem to care at all. He just proposed that he wanted to raise the deer for leg strength, and agreed that if the deer cannot do leg strength in the future, he would kill the deer for everyone to eat, and share half of his food today, and stubbornly Take your own things and go home.

When Xin Mu said that he wanted to eat something that Arnold made, a strange sense of pride flashed through my heart, as if, this was my own achievement, with little consideration, I agreed to Xin Mu’s request. Therefore, I also asked Xin Mu to hurry up to catch a few pheasants in the forest behind us, because Arnold’s stewed pheasants are delicious.

Seeing Xin Mu and Aman ate contentedly under Arnold’s hospitality and getting along well with Aman, I really felt like I was quite lucky. It turned out that Arnold said that he was a good partner. That’s what it means.

I even thank God from the bottom of my heart for giving me such a good Arnold, although this is Luo Lie gave up, although, I once thought that I would not have any expectations of him.

When Arnold told me to stay and live together, I was a little surprised, but seeing his calm but worried eyes, I felt very fortunate that I also ate the potato that no one dared to eat before.

Staying with Arnold at night, I discovered that Arnold will not only make good food, but also make some strange things, but also make things that no one else has done.

To be honest, I am a little worried that Arnold was not like this before, but now, it seems that he has completely changed himself. This is by no means a simple explanation for being stimulated.

It’s also amazing that he suddenly knows so many things. I hope he won’t surprise people anymore, otherwise, he himself might be in trouble.

A female can hunt and have many things. What an incredible thing, and he can be animalized! Except for the fish-eating aquariums we know, no female can be animalized. Moreover, no one in the aquarium knows more than the high priest, and even so many people can’t believe it. To make matters worse, he was not like this before.

It was not a good thing for him because he lost his breath by jumping into the river and waking up to understand so much again.

But I never thought that he would comfort me.

In fact, I made a decision a long time ago. Even if he is the same Arnold, I will take care of him and give him my own food. As long as there is something for me, I will give him more than half; I will also take good care of our children. As long as our children are not too stupid, I will try to teach him everything I know. We can live a peaceful life, he cooks at home, I go hunting for food for him and our children, and we sleep in a tent at night.

But I didn’t expect him to see my scars again.

I still remember when he saw my scar for the first time, he almost fell on the ground and then stumbled back home.

Seeing his silly face looking at me, I suddenly remembered that I had pulled the blindfold over my head just now to make things easier. At this moment, he was looking at my scar that scared him so much.

I almost subconsciously want to cover it up, although I don’t feel sad or regret for it, this is also a sign that I helped a tribe, but I don’t want to scare anyone, and I don’t want anyone to feel unhappy about it, especially me. Future partner. I didn’t even know that I would be uneasy and ashamed.

But he comforted me. He was not afraid at all, but comforted me not to be weak.

Seeing him turning around and looking at his wooden fork, I truly determined in my heart that this is not the original Arnold, but, at the same time, in my heart, I am also sure that I like this Arnold and I like this meeting. Arnold who makes good food, likes this Arnold who will work **** his own, likes this Arnold who will comfort me, and likes this Arnold who will leave me because of worry.

Such an Arnold, even if he is not the original one, what about?

Listening to him, he intensified and asked me to make a so-called “iron wood” fork, and when he wanted to make a “iron wood” fork, he watched him comb my somewhat messy hair, and helped me comb it neatly and cleverly. The ground covered my scar, and because of this triumphant look, I actually wanted to hug him.

Although I didn’t know what ironwood he was talking about, it was probably the kind of wood we usually call hardwood, and I knew how difficult it is to handle that kind of hardwood, so I couldn’t help but nodded and agreed to him.

If it makes him happy, why not give it a try?

Looking at lying down on the strange wooden board he made and hearing him say it was a “bed”, I couldn’t help lying on the same “bed” with him and hugged him from behind.

However, I did not expect that the day when the high priest came to him would come so early.

Obviously that morning, he was still in my arms and asked me when it was time, and he was busy making me food for me to eat and hunting, but when he came back, he heard that the high priest and the patriarch were looking for me-yes When doing business, I am used to calling Abba the patriarch. To Luo Lie and I, his being the patriarch means more to us than he is our Abba.

Perhaps this is what the patriarch must do, just and unselfishly, so that even his own children must follow suit. Sometimes I wonder whether I want to be the patriarch or not, and sometimes I think, if I become the patriarch, I must let everyone live a better life.

When Arnold and Aman came in together, I was a little worried, especially when Arnold was questioned by Abba and looked back at me, I almost wanted to stand up and hug him.

So when the high priest also spoke to him for interrogation, I couldn’t help but speak for him.

However, his story scared me again.

No matter what kind of Arnold he is, whether he is given to us by the gods or sent by the devil, and more, I hope he can become my Arnold. More, I hope he will never leave me.

However, he probably didn’t even know about this.

I made a promise to him, but this promise, probably even he himself, does not know whether it will be realized.

If he didn’t say what he said to the high priest, he would leave if he was not happy. Even the promise he gave me was not to leave for the time being.

I am a little sad.

Even if he is the messenger of God, for me, I only hope that he is my Arnold. For me, he is the first person who will comfort me, my wounds are okay; he is also the first person who will fill me first, rather than let me sacrifice for others; he is the first person who makes me think Hug someone who allows him to live a good life.

No matter where he means to others, to me, he is the person I want.

I also know that he has shortcomings. If he has something, he will hide it first and enjoy it by himself. On the one hand, it is because we don’t know if this food is edible, but I also understand from his eyes that he likes it. If he has something, he will first think of his family to be full, and then he will think of the tribe.

But what does it matter? If he has more food, he will also give it to others, and he will try to make more food for me, even if I am hungry, he would rather make more food.

Some people may think that my liking for him is too narrow and selfish, but who can guarantee that my needs are selfless? Even if he is a father, he wants Ama and us to eat more, but he can’t do it. In the entire tribe, who doesn’t want to find more food? It’s just that everyone didn’t find it.

Rather than hiding what he found to eat for himself, I would rather I find more food for him, so that he doesn’t need to hide it, or it doesn’t matter if he hides it.

Although his thoughts are different from mine, in a sense, I agree with him more. If it were not for the patriarch’s reputation for impartiality, who wouldn’t want to eat more? Who doesn’t want his family to be full? Even if a female finds more fruit, she happily stays at home and eats it by herself. Why should he be a female because she gets more?

As the patriarch and other people who have benefited from this, I would very much hope that he will contribute these things, but from the perspective of a person, I still find it difficult for me to do it. Because of this, I definitely don’t want to force him to do what I don’t want to do.

I hope he is happy, I hope he can eat and drink, I can bring him a better life, I hope I can make him feel very happy without hiding two pumpkins.

But I didn’t expect that the subsequent development would become more and more beyond my imagination.

The author has something to say: When I have coded a few thousand words, you can give me a score with your hands. Isn’t it right to be lazy to write a few words?

People who write to two o’clock can’t afford to hurt.

Arnold, hurry up and beg your sisters to adopt you! Or I will throw you away.

By the way, Chao Chao, the reader sister here doesn’t like you, and asks your Xiao Gong to be cute.

Arnold: ==

Gu Chaoqi: Who is Xiao Gong in our family?

Magic stick: OTZ, you want the reader sister to tell you.

So, everyone should take good care of the little ones in our family diligently.
