Survival of Prehistoric Widows [Farming] - Chapter 26
With so many orcs, it is certainly impossible for Lu Yan to feed them all.
He cut the tofu into small pieces, fried them in a flat-bottomed earthenware pot together with the clouded bird sent by Yong.
Last time Yong Helie brought the cloud spotted bird over, after Lu Wei tasted it, he found that the wild bird was damnably fresh and tender, not much more than the chicks in the previous life.
Just according to Yong’s statement, the clouded bird is very alert and difficult to catch. After Yong becomes a beast, be careful and careful, it is more frustration than success.
Yesterday, I was very lucky. I caught two more cloud-spotted birds and enthusiastically invited Lu Ling to eat together. Lu Ling took the newly made soft tofu and boiled the soup, and found that the clouded-spotted bird tofu soup was extremely delicious after the two phases were superimposed. Before the salt was added, Yong drank two gourds in one breath.
Lu Lin first taught Baixu the method of planting soybeans and the seeds. As a thank you, Yong gave the remaining cloud-spotted bird to Lu Er. Today, Lu Er decided to invite these simple beasts to try it. The fragrance of tofu soup.
There were too many people. Even though Lu Ling had stewed a big pot of soup, everyone could only get a small gourd scoop.
Because of the convenient earthenware pot, it is now very easy to boil hot water. Under the stimulation of the hot water, the hair of the clouded bird will easily fade and clean, and it is matched with special deodorant pepper and star anise. , Cumin, etc., as well as white salt that has eliminated the bitterness after being refined. This cloud-spotted bird tofu soup has opened a new door to the taste buds of these orcs and Asian beasts.
The tender tofu and the stewed bird meat lie in the bright yellow clear soup, and there are still a few slices of green onion floating on the surface of the soup. As soon as they were served, they had already smelled a rich fragrance, which was more fragrant than any clouded bird they had eaten before.
Take a bite of bird meat, the gravy is easily contaminated between the lips and teeth, with the fragrance of oil and a hint of tofu; another sip of the clear soup, there is no hint of fishy or bitter taste in the soup, only the perfect combination of salty, fragrant, and fresh , Bring them supreme taste enjoyment.
Compared with this soup, the meat they ate before was not much better than boiled sand!
In fact, Lu Wei felt that his cooking skills were only at an ordinary level, but the cooking skills of the orcs of this era were still in a very primitive state, so he was shocked by the food he made.
But seeing them holding a ladle of soup, drinking carefully and extremely contentedly, Lu Yan still felt a trace of satisfaction in his heart.
It was a bit too much to entertain guests without getting enough. Lu Er cooked a pile of salted soybeans alone, and also prepared a lot of plump white root vegetables, so as to prevent the beasts from going home hungry.
Lu Er wanted to use this meal to make the beasts aware of the deliciousness of soybeans and promote their motivation to grow soybeans. Unexpectedly, although this goal was achieved, the more deeply rooted among the orcs turned out to be “the food made with green ears is very delicious”, so that most of the orcs later took pride in eating the food he made, and occasionally someone If you are exposed to light, you can proudly show off for a long time, maybe you will be beaten.
Lu Er couldn’t laugh or cry, but he didn’t even think about it-no matter what, his original goal was achieved. There are still many things waiting for him to do in the promotion of Soybeans.
Mi didn’t think so.
He was so angry that he was blown up by these orcs’ actions to take advantage of him.
—What are these **** doing? !
-Take advantage of it while it’s not secretly? !
-Green ear is its sub beast, every piece of tofu and every drop of broth made by green ear is also its!
Obviously he should be the owner of this tent, but Xiao Mi can only get a small bowl of tofu soup to keep cool at a time, so sad and pitiful.
Although Lu Wei likes fat cats and feels the most when they are pressed, he takes precedence over his own preferences for the health of the cats. In the previous life, the two cats he raised had consulted a vet and prepared food strictly in accordance with nutritional recipes. It was important to ensure that the cats would not get sick from eating themselves.
This is also the reason why Lu Wei likes big oranges—the orange cat is an animal that prepares food according to the nutritional food of the pet, and the rest can be resigned to the fate, day after day.
But Mi is not an orange cat. At least from Lu Er’s point of view, Mi is very cold, not clingy, lively, and curious except when attacking with food, she doesn’t look like an orange cat at all.
Therefore, Lu Er pays more attention to Xiao Mi’s diet, and tofu, a food that may cause Xiao Mi’s indigestion, is strictly controlled. The last time Xiao Mi ate soybeans and pulled her stomach for a long time, he still remembers clearly!
So that every time Mi wanted to eat more tofu, Lu Yan would poke her bare buttocks: “Aren’t you afraid of diarrhea? Still eat it!”
Then Xiao Mi will withdraw in shame and aggrieved, tried again and again.
…
To make tofu, in addition to the pottery pots of each household, bittern and strainers are also needed.
Lu Wei taught how to make bittern, and told him not to add too much bittern. For the first time, he used his identity as a “witch doctor” to talk about it. He seriously emphasized that bittern is harmful to the body and should not be eaten too much.
At present, the filter can only be compiled by the old Asian animal Duoyu. Lu Er specifically asked Duoyu if he could do the job.
Duo Yu is very happy that he can still shine for the tribe. When Lu Er visited and explained the situation, the wrinkles on his face were much deeper: “Anything is okay, it’s okay.”
He couldn’t cope with the needs of so many orcs alone, and he deliberately found two sub-beasts who were willing to work hard to teach.
After Lu Lin passed on the method of making tofu, the first batch of soybeans of the orcs were also harvested.
For crops cultivated by spiritual water, the growth rate of the first generation seeds is always very fast. If the spiritual water is not irrigated later, the growth rate of selection and cultivation will slowly slow down; Lu Wei estimates that these soybeans will be sown from generation to generation. In the end, it will return to the normal rhythm.
This actually made Lu Er somewhat relieved—he still hasn’t understood the principle of the Ring of Spiritual Water. It is best that crops, an important resource that sustains basic survival, do not rely on Spiritual Water.
Moreover, if the growth rate is too fast and the cultivation cycle is too short, the soil fertility will be greatly depleted, and the extra fertilization will not be able to save it.
After harvesting the soybeans, the beasts who were obsessed with tofu began to try some tofu, and specially asked Lu Ling for advice.
After teaching several orcs to order tofu, Lu Wei discovered that the fastest learner turned out to be the original “Jim” Hongyun.
The original father Teng is getting better and better these days. According to Hongyun’s statement, he may wake up in the next few days. Therefore, Hongyun wants to learn the tofu recipe that Lu Ling has developed before he wakes up, so that he can make it to eat.
Lu Ling asked about Teng’s condition when he entered the door, and was very happy to learn that Teng was about to wake up.
Hong Yun’s face was filled with faint joy. Before preparing to order some tofu, he said by the way: “Green Ear, the potion you sent these days is always a lot less, maybe he was drunk secretly, he won’t be okay, right? ?”
Mang is a child born by Hongyun and Teng, a little orc with a bear-like animal shape.
“It’s okay, be careful not to let him drink too much.”
Lu Er’s previous impression of Hongyun was that he was shallow-headed, had no independent opinions, and was always easily influenced by others. Unexpectedly, he was talented in cooking, succeeded in one go, and the tofu he ordered was firm and delicious.
Hongyun seemed to be very surprised that he could make tofu the first time he ordered it. After a moment of stunned, he smiled a little nervously under Lu Er’s gaze: “Lu Er, do you think there is a problem with this?”
Lu Yan carefully checked the steaming white tofu and nodded: “No problem, you can eat it directly-it can also be used to make soup with other foods.”
In fact, tofu is fried together with vegetables, shredded pork, eggs, etc. It is also very delicious, but the output of soybeans in the tribe is very small at present, and there is still a long distance from oil extraction; the efficiency of extracting oil from fatty meat is also very low, because The proportion of fat in wild animals in this era is very low, especially after a winter, the fat on the prey has not been raised yet.
This gave Lu Ling, who hadn’t eaten fried, fried and other foods for a long time, a new idea: agriculture has always been called together with animal husbandry, and modern subjects are also learning together in agriculture.
Although the research direction of Lu Er’s previous life is not related to animal husbandry, he knows some basic knowledge.
—Maybe we can consider guiding these orcs to domesticate some livestock?
After switching from hunting to animal husbandry, the orcs no longer have to risk their lives to go out hunting. There will be fewer and fewer bone fractures like Yong’s before.
These thoughts hovered in Lu Ling’s head for a while, and then he recovered his heart regretfully: the development of animal husbandry must be based on the development of agriculture, and now he has not found even millet, even if he starts to domesticate wild beasts, there is nothing to feed…
Because the first time ordering tofu was successful, Hong Yun was very happy, and he deliberately left Lu Er to stay with him to eat. Lu Er thought that there was still a cat in the house to feed, and he tactfully refused.
This time before he came to Teng’s house to instruct Hongyun to order the tofu, Xiao Mi was sleeping on the animal skin bed, so he didn’t wake up Xiao Mi and came by himself.
Hongyun also wanted to give Lu Er a piece of food as a reward for teaching him to order tofu, but Lu Er directly refused. Since he lives as a “green ear”, even Teng and Hongyun are the elders of his family, the skill of ordering tofu is also It’s not worth cherishing.
What’s more, Teng has been in a coma for so long. Although the tribe distributes prey to Hongyun, and Hongyun himself goes out to collect it every day, it is still not well-off compared to other families with orcs.
Back in the tent, Lu Er saw that Xiao Mi was still sleeping under the covers, stepped forward and kissed her gently, then turned around and started preparing today’s dinner.
Today, I remembered the problem of oil extraction at Teng, which reminded Lu Er to miss fried food, and decided to try it.
Pick the fatter part of wild boar from other orcs with soybeans and white root vegetables, cut it into small pieces on a stone slab, heat up a terracotta pan, put the meat on it, dry fry, and fry the fat. Come out, then sprinkle a handful of chopped green onion and stir fry until fragrant, then pour in the chopped tofu strips and celery and start frying.
The smell of animal oil is stronger than that of vegetable oil. Soon the whole tent was filled with a strong smell of meat, which directly awakened Mi who was slowly digesting too much spiritual water.
Teng is about to wake up in the past few days. It expects that it will not find a reason to drink Lingshui so openly in the future. It drank more last night and almost slept for a whole day today.
And after waking up, he felt a little bad.
—Too much spiritual water replenishes, and I feel like turning back into an orc…
