Orcs’ Time Through Time - Chapter 70

The sacrifice this year is different from previous years.

First of all, Canaan and Luo Lei each held a glass of wine and poured three glasses to honor the gods of the evening. After that, I poured a few more glasses of wine, and put some wine in everyone’s hands, and let them throw them to the sky and the ground.

The living belong to the day, the dead belong to the night, and the dead will return to the gods and be with the gods—this is what I told the people here.

In the past, we never offered sacrifices to our ancestors, because everyone’s life was not easy, and it was very difficult to live on God, let alone miss our ancestors.

But I believe that our lives will definitely get better and better. Therefore, sacrifices have become necessary.

When offering sacrifices to the ancestors, I could see that the people from the He ethnic group were a little emotional, while the people from the You ethnic group were not so serious.

Think about it, too, most of them are people who have been abandoned by their tribesmen. In other words, they are abandoned by their ancestors. It is really not so necessary for them to make sacrifices to their ancestors.

But I told Canaan that one day, we will also become the ancestors of future generations. If someone can remember and sacrifice to us with this spirit, it would be a proof of our existence.

Therefore, the members of the You tribe still tried their best to participate in this sacrifice.

After offering sacrifices to the gods and ancestors, we began to eat Chinese New Year’s dinner.

Fried sweet potato **** and pancakes are served in large pottery plates. Those who want to eat can take their own bowls. Onion roasted pork, pickled dried roasted pork and steamed fish with tempeh are served in large pots with large spoons inside, everyone. You can use a spoon to scoop it yourself. The steamed meatballs are still placed on the dried radish soup that is simmering on a low fire, and they are stored in a steamer. Those who want can get it by themselves.

The whole is probably the prototype of the buffet.

While I was still watching the other two clay pots burn on the fire, A Rui was very sensible and helped me to fill some of all kinds of things, filled a large bowl, and put it next to me.

Although, his eyes from time to time looked at the pot I was still looking at the fire.

In fact, not only children, but also adults. Although everyone is eating it in their mouths, they are also very interested in the clay pot that I am still cooking.

Look at the heat is similar, use a long wooden chopsticks to poke it in to see if it is ripe, and see that everyone has eaten almost the same, still staring at my movements.

I finally waved to Loley to come and help me pick up the jar.

Actually, without my name Luo Lei, Hongda and the others rushed over and helped me lift the clay pot very actively and consciously, and then stared at the two clay pots in front of me eagerly.

I told them a long time ago that what was cooked in the clay pot was my secret weapon. So everyone was a little excited, and even everyone gathered around to watch.

When I opened the clay pot, the aroma made Hongda and the others scream to eat.

Open the earthenware pot, pour out the thoroughly cooked, sauce-red colour, and place it on a large earthenware dish. Within a few minutes, everyone has robbed the meat with its rich flavor.

In fact, as early as when the He people made tempeh, I had already tried to make soy sauce. At that time, I also tried to make soy sauce base with cooked soybeans and wheat flour. I only tried it a few times, but I don’t know. Whether it’s the weather or the time, there is always no success.

When I came out later, I also fell a lot of things at the time, but this jar, I thought that someday I might still have some grilled meat with sauce, so I brought it along with the wine.

In addition, A Yuan gave me a handful of sweet grass and some sweet potato wine. For the first Chinese New Year, I specially made homemade Dongpo meat.

The taste is definitely not comparable to modern Dongpo meat, but for the people here, this sweet and salty flavor with the aroma of star anise is undoubtedly a good stimulus for the taste.

And that kind of slapped meat, because it has been burned layer by layer in a clay pot for an afternoon, it is already more delicious, and it melts in the mouth when it is eaten, and both adults and children like it very much.

Once again caused the tribe’s boiling.

To be able to eat things that others can never eat, and to have better living conditions, this is something that everyone is grateful for.

Taking this opportunity, I also took the opportunity to show you the black sauce and the wine God gave us. Under the leadership of Canaan and Luo Lei, the whole tribe once again offered sacrifices to the gods, thanking him for giving us so many things.

Sometimes I think about how useful the gods are. Something is bestowed by the gods. As for why they were given to me, because I am the messenger of God.

This is undoubtedly a good thing for my increasingly detached position.

Maybe if this momentum develops a little bit, we can also expand our tribe. Coupled with the reason given by the gods, even if my empire dream will not succeed, the ideal of the big tribe is still promising.

Probably because there are so many delicious foods and some good news, the first Chinese New Year can be said to be a great success. After eating, everyone is reluctant to move. Even the mess is cleaned up the next afternoon.

As for the next morning, everyone slept too late and didn’t get up.

Although it was still winter during the New Year, and the snow was still covering the mountains and forests, after more than a month, the snow began to melt.

In winter, everyone didn’t go out much, almost all of them were suffocated.

Everyone was very happy when they heard the sound of snow melting.

The children have long been running around outside. Even the males can’t wait to run out hunting.

The animals that we locked on the plain in front were also very excited because of the arrival of spring, and the grasses that just appeared on the ground began to chew non-stop. If it weren’t for them to be released, I really doubt that the grass here can continue to exist?

Also began to consider the matter of planting pasture.

Although it’s already spring, my stick stabs the ground. It seems that it’s a bit early to plow now, and the frozen ground is probably still thick. But in order to realize my dream of planting two seasons a year, we also grow seedlings in the large wooden pots at home.

There are not as many people as before. If we only plant one season a year, we will undoubtedly plant a large area. Although the land here is absolutely sufficient, we do not have such manpower. Seeing that the natural conditions here also allow it, it would be better to prepare earlier and strive for a two-season harvest.

I also discussed with Canaan and Luo Lei that they would use a few people to go hunting every day, and the others would stay with me to raise livestock and farm the land.

Everyone has seen farming. Although the wandering people have not stayed for a long time and have no idea of ​​what to harvest, they still have a great impression of the wheat and sweet potatoes on the ground. They are very impressed with that farming circle. The animals I like are also very fond of them, so I don’t have much opinion on this.

At the end of November and the beginning of December when winter is not so busy, we organized the tribesmen to set up new stables and breeding circles. Just in the downwind direction of the tribe, we used fences for a big circle. At the foot of the mountain, several sheds were built, and several dung pits were dug behind to store farmyard manure. So the breeding circle doesn’t need to worry about it for the time being.

But the matter of cultivated land has still become a problem.

Last year, when there was no snow in the sky, I organized everyone to dig a full circle of about one meter wide canal from the small stream to the edge of the river along the edge of the lowest depression, and introduce the water from the river into this canal. At the same time, the water of the stream was also separated. Several water channels with a tight cross-section divided this nearly rectangular depression into a box of tic-tac-shaped. It is planned to make the three areas of this depression near our tribe into rice planting first. Field. The flat principle in front of rice is intended to grow the wheat, sweet potatoes, potatoes, **** and not much cotton that we have stored.

According to this plan, the land we want to plant is very large.

Not to mention the land that was originally set up on the plain to be used for growing dry crops, even the land for growing rice is more than 30 acres. Don’t even think about planting pasture.

Excluding the hunters, we can really stay and do the field work, and after the two who are responsible for gathering grass and feeding the animals every day, there are only about ten people.

No matter how streamlined and streamlined, at least we must grow enough food for a year.

How to plant these fields, I have a hard time.

Extraordinary: Luo Lei (3)

Arnold will do a lot of strange things, although in the end it proved that what he did was a good thing for the development of the tribe, but I was still very worried.

He would run to the river alone to catch fish, catching the kind of fish that was almost about to grow back. Once, when I went to look for him, I saw a cow behind him pushed him into the water when he was not paying attention.

If I hadn’t picked him up quickly, it would almost scare me to death.

He would also start digging holes in the plain with a so-called hoe. Then cover the hole with branches and grass. Waiting for the animal to fall in.

But once, when he was dragging a wild sheep that fell into the hole, he almost fell into the hole with himself.

I don’t know what he will become if he weren’t brought back by the people who went to him.

Every day I worry about what he will become, or whether he will come back home at night if he runs around like this.

But looking at the people because of his better and better life, I couldn’t help feeling very proud.

When he married me, I gave him a little bison. I remember he said he wanted to catch a little bison to raise.

Rather than when he doesn’t know when to catch the little bison, I’ll give him one, just hope he can be safe. Although I think it is impossible.

The Arnold I married is completely different from the previous Arnold. He will do what he likes by himself, and he has the ability to live better than others. I don’t even know why he stayed with me.

But I am still very happy to be able to marry him.

Although I wanted to come later, he got married with me, and more, I’m afraid it’s just that he doesn’t care about anything, and I was the first person he met to get married with him.

On the day we got married, we did nothing, although I wanted to kiss him, and then…

He said he was still young and didn’t want to do this.

Why didn’t I know this was his excuse? A Xing is the same age as him, but Luo Lie is about to become a dad.

I don’t know if I will tolerate other people so much, but even if I feel a little uncomfortable for him, I still nodded.

In fact, apart from these, our life is very good.

With the help of the traps he taught me to do, I also found that we can drive bison and wild sheep into the traps, which can be done with less effort.

We have enough jerky that we won’t be missing for a winter, as well as the sweet potato noodles he invented and the potato noodles only available in our family.

Although he is sometimes naughty, he cooks the so-called chili which I don’t want to eat at all, and puts a lot of vegetables in the broth I eat every day, but with him, I’m better than ever. Eat to be full.

He even made me a bow and arrow he said! You can shoot prey from far away, and we don’t even have to worry about getting hurt if we fight too close!

I have spent the winter alone with him, and we have prepared more food than I have seen in any winter before.

In fact, I should be satisfied. His personality is actually quite supple. He has hardly spoken to me loudly. When I heard A Xing and Luo Lie arguing a few times, I felt that his personality was really good. .

He can hunt and fish by himself. He can catch many animals and raise them. He also talks to me about strange things like “Thirty-Six Strategies” and “Sun Tzu Art of War”.

And because of his relationship, the tribe and us seem to be more harmonious. Now the tribe would rather come to us for many things.

But in fact, I still have some regrets, maybe it’s what he said, the more you know, the more you want.

I sometimes feel that he is lying to me, and that he is also applying everything he told me to me, but I can’t say anything.

In the winter when we lived together at the entrance of the cave, he taught me to make warm shoes, made “trousers” for me to wear inside, and made deep-fried noodles for me, although in the end we had to make them for the whole family. Some, so it ran out of most of our oil and stored animal eggs.

But I wanted to hug him, but I still couldn’t.

Sometimes I think about it, maybe I might have to persist in this way for a lifetime.
