Survival of Prehistoric Widows [Farming] - Chapter 20
With organic fertilizer in the true sense, Luer’s soybean cultivation plan is progressing rapidly.
Really fertilizing, and now that the weather has gradually become warmer, Lu Lin finally optimized the varieties of soybeans a lot. The pods are full and the beans are round, which is worth promoting planting.
After harvesting the first batch of finished products, Lu Ling carried a bunch of bean pods back to his tent, peeled off the soybeans, and obtained a small handful of fresh beans, which were cooked in the only stone pot in the tent.
After the fresh soybeans are cooked, the tender yellow outer skin is slightly cracked, revealing the slightly white bean grains inside, exuding a fine bean fragrance.
Lu Ling added salt, collected spring onions, ginger, star anise and other flavors when cooking the beans. The freshly cooked boiled soybeans are fragrant, soft and delicious. The fragrance of the soybeans blends with the soft taste, and it is full. A sense of satisfaction fills between the teeth and tongue.
After so long, Lu Yan finally tasted a familiar taste, and a small handful of boiled soybeans was quickly eaten by him.
He gently picked up a boiled soybean with his simple hand-made chopsticks, and after blowing it cool, he handed it to the little mi who was squatting aside and looking curiously: “Mi, have a taste.”
Xiao Mi drank Lingshui secretly last night, her belly is not hungry now, she glanced at the soybean with disgust, a trace of helplessness flashed in her eyes: Why does this sub-beast always like to eat plants? Is it because there are too few prey? ? It still needs to change back to…
Even though she thought so in her heart, Ya Beast handed the food to her mouth, Xiao Mi opened her mouth obediently, and bit the seed she had never seen before.
Chew, the beans with a lightly salty aroma instantly conquered Mi’s mouth.
Lu Yan looked at Xiao Mi’s suddenly widened eyes, thinking that Xiao Mi didn’t like eating, so he gently stroked its little furry head and smiled: “Isn’t it delicious? Dad likes it very much.”
Xiao Mi swallowed the beans in her mouth, leaned close to the stone pot, sniffed lightly, and made a sound of “ah woo” that she wanted to take another bite.
The cats that Lu Wei raised in his previous life didn’t like to eat soy products. It was rare to see that Xiao Mi was interested in beans. Lu Ling took another bean to him. Seeing how he still wanted after eating, he quickly refused:” Kittens cannot eat too many soybeans.”
Xiao Mi is tired of hearing that this Asian beast restrains it with these rules that don’t know where it came from. But now it also has a way to deal with Lu Er.
Just give up a little dignity…
Xiao Mi leaned close to Lu Ne, stretched her voice, and made a soft “mi woo” sound. She rubbed her furry head on Lu Ne’s bare calves, and then her soft body was attached to her. The long tail swayed from side to side, blue waves rippling in his pupils, looking pitifully at Lu Jin.
——Who can resist such a coquettish little cat?
Lu Er couldn’t stand it.
Under this kind of offensive, let alone a few small boiled soybeans, even boiled diamonds, he wears them all on his cute little head.
Xiao Mi chewed on the fragrant beans contentedly, and her tail waved: Sure enough, as long as a little trick, this Asian beast still knows how to respect his orcs!
…
The bean cultivation was a success, and Lu Lin went to collect some more, happily went to find the white beard, and asked him to plant it too.
Bai Xu already trusted Lu Er very much, and he looked at the small handful of beans over and over for a long time, wondering: “What is this?”
Lu Er smiled and said: “It’s edible.”
——Could it be what kind of berries?
Shirabe remembered the improved white root vegetable that had become a regular food for most of the orcs in the tribe, and nodded, “I will grow it now.”
Soybeans are rich in protein and have high edible value. They can also be made into a variety of soy products. If they are grown properly, they will consume little soil fertility and even increase the nitrogen content of the soil to a certain extent. .
Therefore, although soybeans are not a special staple food, Lu Lin still hopes to promote it as soon as possible.
Speaking of soy products, the first thing Lu Er thought of was tofu.
Compared with boiled beans directly, turning beans into tofu will have higher taste and nutritional value, and the remaining okara is an excellent fertilizer when making tofu. Soybeans are grown in the land-soy beans are made into tofu-okara is taken to the fat field. The simplest and most effective virtuous circle.
But there is one biggest problem in making tofu at present.
No tools.
In the orc tribe at this time, only the leader and the horns each had a heavy and thick stone pot, which was inconvenient to move and consumed a lot of firewood. Lu Yan seldom uses that pot at ordinary times, and only makes it hard to make it once in a while when he wants to drink soup.
Except for these two stone pots, the other containers are all large and small gourd ladles.
Scooping water is also a scoop, and meat is also a scoop. Even the fertilizer is picked out from the septic tank to irrigate the ground, but also a large gourd.
When making tofu, you need to use a large pot to slowly boil the soy milk, and then you need to do some tofu, filtering and so on. It is definitely not enough to rely on the stone pot that requires a few people to empty it.
More importantly, there is no trace of the gauze needed to filter soy milk in this era.
At this time, the orc tribe was still a few times away from being able to produce textile crafts. They didn’t even have the concept of clothes, and they usually had to wrap their bodies with animal skins.
This poured a bucket of cold water on Lu Er’s excitement.
——Does soy beans can only be cooked and eaten?
Lu Yan thought for a long time, and decided to try his best.
As long as the mind is deep, there are always more solutions than difficulties.
——Xiao Mi was so cold as a cat at first, but now she will take the initiative to act like a baby with him, what else can’t be done?
Lu Yan couldn’t think of any way himself, so he decided to ask the orcs in the tribe for help.
The orcs of the Redwood tribe have been living in this land for too long, maybe there is a special way to solve his problem.
Before Baixu’s renewed spirit, Lu Yan asked him by the way, is there any way to achieve the filtering effect in the tribe.
At first, Bai Xu didn’t figure out what Lu Ne was going to filter. After Lu Wei patiently and carefully explained, Baixu understood, frowned and thought for a long time before hesitated and said: “Before Duo Yu could use straw ropes to weave net ropes with small holes, I don’t know if you want it. Effect.”
Lu Er was a little surprised, and gently rubbed the head of the cat in his arms: “Where is Duoyu’s tent, can you recommend it?”
The Duoyu mentioned by Whitebeard is a very old sub-beast, with a little gray hair on his head and a lot of wrinkles on his face.
From the mouth of the white beard, Lu Wei knew that this old Asian beast was almost fifty years old, and was already considered a longevity-level old man in this primitive orc era.
Time washed away all the edges and corners of this old Asian beast, making him look cheerful and never quarreling with anyone in the tribe.
The orc of Duoyu passed away a long time ago. He gave birth to an orc and occasionally gave him some prey. In addition, Duoyu would weave ropes or nets to exchange food with other orcs and sub-beasts, and his life was pretty good .
After hearing Lu Er’s intentions, Duo Yu stopped weaving the straw rope in his hand and asked, “How dense net rope do you want?”
“You can only let the water flow out, not all others.” Lu Wei hesitated, making an analogy, “It’s like the water scooped out of the river, filtering out all the sand.”
Da Yu and the white beard on the side are a little confused. After all, the tribe scooped water back from the stream, and basically drank it without filtering; even if the water is sometimes muddy, it should be left for a while.
However, Lu Er now has a “witch doctor” name on his head, and everything he does carries a sense of mystery. Duoyu didn’t ask much. He wrinkled his sparse eyebrows for a while and replied: “I Try your best, you can pick it up in two days.”
Seeing the hope, Lu Yan thanked him happily, and while pondering the problem of the container, he coaxed Xiao Mi who was scratching him back to the tent.
Back in the tent, Lu Yan knew why Xiao Mi was uncharacteristically anxious.
The consequence of Meng Meng’s murder and Meimei’s meal of boiled beans is that at night, Mi began to feel her stomach swelling and contracting, and finally she couldn’t hold it back. They all turned into charming gas, pouring out with cheers that could not be ignored. Out.
“puff!”
Smelling the intoxicating smell and feeling the coming of the next shock, Xiao Mi was stupid.
Lu Er squeezed his nose and leaned over, feeling a little distressed and self-blaming: “Hey, I told you not to eat too much soybeans…how about it, do you have diarrhea?”
The feeling of diarrhea is not there yet, and it is just a simple excretion of gas.
But Xiao Mi’s entire cat’s head had turned red, and Lu Yan could see it at a glance, even through the fine fluff.
Lu Er couldn’t help being amused, and comforted it with a kind words: “It’s okay, it’s just flatulence. Dad doesn’t dislike you…”
Mi put her head under her belly again, her two small paws hugged her head tightly, her eyes were tightly closed in an attempt to escape reality, her heart was full of sorrow.
It used to think about finding an opportunity to convey the fact that it was a horn to Lu Er, and then begging for more spiritual water in order to restore its prototype; just now, this idea has been completely suppressed by it.
——It absolutely, absolutely, absolutely cannot let Lu Yan know that his orcs are so embarrassing!
