The Pioneering Era of Crossing the Orc World - Chapter 67
It can be served separately and can be eaten by yourself.
After the rice in the bucket was dry, he touched the rice with his hands and felt that there was still moisture in the rice, and then stirred the rice to loosen with his hands. There are a lot of cooking rice, a big bucket, so we need two bowls of koji instead of noodle fertilizer. After mixing the koji and loose rice, make a hole with three fingers in the middle of the rice, and then put it in the bucket. The cloth is wrapped solidly and covered with the lid. Do not touch any oil or water in the winemaking process.
Use thick hay batting to form blocks, tie the wooden barrel thick with hay, and place it next to the stove in the kitchen. After a few days, the rice wine and fermented rice can be mixed.
After finishing the last step, Xia He clapped his hands and said to Chi, who had been watching and studying by the side, “It’s easy to do this. How can I learn?”
“Well, I remembered the steps, but I’m just wondering if I can still eat it after a few days?” Isn’t it embarrassing after so long?
“It’s ok to wrap it up, and you can’t lift the lid of the barrel during the period. Hey, you can just wait for a drink in a few days, haha.” Xia He suddenly realized that as long as Chi and He tasted it by himself He felt very satisfied when he showed the food they hadn’t eaten before, and they all looked happy!
During the fermentation of the rice wine, the Eagle Orcs delivered all the rice to the Tiger as promised before winter. In the last time there were only forty baskets, and they came with fifty orcs, and the other ten people took food or other things rich in their tribes, saying they came in exchange.
The ten people all came with a rattan basket on their backs. The rattan baskets were larger and contained a lot of things. The exchange is very lively. Although the ten baskets of things are not too much for the entire tiger clan, the clan people, especially the females, are very keen on this exchange method to obtain their favorite items. Xia He and his family also came to the open space to see if there was anything they needed.
Except for most of the ginger, I was surprised to find that there was taro in it, and an orc basket was filled with almost all taro. Maybe the clansmen didn’t know the benefits of it, so the front of his basket was deserted. Xia He held it in front of the taro, and said with tears, “Taro, taro, it’s really time for you to come!” Turning around, Chi took an iron knife and said to the orc, “Hello, I can use one. Will the iron knife trade you for a basket of taro?”
The Eagle Orcs Jin was stunned for a while, but he didn’t expect that there would be Tiger Orcs who would know them to feed. But when I saw it was Xia He, I understood it, and said, “Of course, I know you. You are called He, right? My name is Jin. But iron knives are too expensive, so changing a basket of taro may not Value, you can take all of these red fruits.” Even if you give Xiahe all the items in a basket, it is very worthwhile to replace it with a handful. Jin did not expect that he would dig a basket of taro to get such a big harvest. Originally, he planned to introduce to the tiger people that taro can be used for food. He hoped to get a piece of clothing, but he did not expect to get Xiahe. How could he not get excited because he exchanged an iron knife for his favor!
“Haha, then I thank you in advance. Jin, can you still send more baskets of taro here? I’ll exchange two cotton clothes for you.” Xia He calculated that a variety of different foods will be eaten in the winter. It won’t look so single anymore.
“Really?! Of course this is fine, but now the rice grains are all delivered. I don’t know when our tribe will organize together again.” Jin is excited and aware of the reality. They can fly for five to five times. It took ten days to go back and forth in six days. I don’t know if Clan Chief Ming will arrange to come back again.
Yes, Xia He also calmed down. Based on the situation of the two races, they both had their own items or food. It would be a pity if they stopped like this.
After the Eagle Orcs had exchanged what they were holding, Xia He went to the open to discuss this issue with them. “The extra food in your tribe is welcome to be exchanged by the tiger clan, and we will also exchange it for you or the items you need. Some of you have cotton clothes in your hands. This is when we just started sewing. The ones that come out are specially used to wear in the winter. As long as we have extra, we will exchange them with you. Do you think this is feasible?” This is mainly for the orcs of the Eagle Race.
“This is of course the best, but we have to make a decision after talking to our patriarch. If the patriarch agrees, we will set a date to exchange it.” It was one of the Eagle Clan who spoke.
“Well, because you are going to come, the time of the exchange day can be decided by you. Come once a month or once every two months. You can discuss with Chief Ming after you go back. You can exchange again in early winter, of course. It’s okay to come back after the winter,” Xia He said. However, he believes that Patriarch Ming’s consideration, they will exchange it again before it snows in the early winter, after all, their cotton-padded clothes have just been born.
After discussing it over, the Eagles returned with a full load. Except for the ten orcs who had all the necessary items, the remaining forty orcs also received a set of autumn clothes or a set of cotton clothes, but the most was salt. The main reason is that the Tigers feel that they will come here to bring things, and now they are given benefits, and it is hoped that they will bring more things that they have not tasted or have fun.
A basket of taro is neither too much nor too little. If it is eaten alone, it is too much, but it will not be much if it is used for planting next spring. After all, there is a whole clan that needs to be planted, so whether it can be cooked and eaten first depends on whether Patriarch Ming will send someone to exchange it in early winter.
He took the washed carrot in his hand and gnawed it in his mouth. He walked to the stone chair in the pavilion where Xiahe sews clothes and sat down, also watching intently.
“Boom~~!” Xia He couldn’t help laughing first. He wanted to laugh when he saw He’s present appearance. Holding a few carrots in his hand, he gnawed one by one “boom”. A two-legged rabbit. “Ha ha……”
He stopped chewing and pouted and looked at Xia He, “Brother He, are you laughing at me again?” Every time he saw Brother He laugh like this, he used to make fun of himself. He still didn’t know himself. What’s the reason for Brother He to smile so happily.
“Ha… it’s okay, He is the best behaved, nothing funny.” He said so, but the smile on his face was completely different from what he said.
“It doesn’t matter. Grandpa Qing Beast also said that you have to be happy with the little tiger cub. If He can make Brother He happy, then it will be regarded as a contribution to the birth of the little tiger cub.” He Yilid After speaking seriously, he continued to gnaw the carrots. Qing is the only old veterinarian in the tiger clan.
Xia He touched his soft hair lovingly, “Well, I know, He is the best for the little tiger cub. Haha, come, try the cotton-padded jacket I just sewed.” She took the cotton-padded jacket and put it on He’s body. Of course, the size and length of clothes that are too large are just right. “Let’s talk about it, how does it feel.”
For the first time He wore such thick clothes, there was always a kind of restraint, twisting his small body uncomfortably, but after a while, he felt nothing. “It’s a bit hot, and there are no light clothes. But it’s warm in winter, Brother He, I really like these clothes.”
“Hey, the small pieces of clothes are all sewn for congratulations, but it is best to wait for the sun to blow for a day before putting them away.” During the talking, a cool breeze blew, followed by the sweetness of rice wine. “It seems that the rice wine can be redeemed.”
He sucked his little nose and smelled the sweet smell, and excitedly said to Xia He, “Brother He, this rice wine has been fragrant for two days, can you eat it?”
“Yes. Take off your cotton clothes and hang them on the bamboo poles, and then I will pour out the rice wine.” Xia He said to He amusedly. The child can’t resist the sweetness, he must taste it himself before giving up. .
Move the wooden barrel out of the kitchen, peel off the hay, and uncover the wooden lid. The aroma of the wine is even more tangy, and Xia He is almost fascinated by the strong and sweet rice wine. Untie the rope tied to the solid cloth, there is a bucket of crystal-white rice porridge inside, I really want to have a bite! But for the cubs in his stomach, Xia He abruptly endured it.
There is half a barrel of rice wine, and the thin rice is slowly taken out with the cloth bag, and at the same time, I don’t forget to compress the cloth bag to let the wine inside. Put the cloth bag in a clean basin, then take out two unused clay pots and wash them, pour the rice wine in the wooden barrel into the clay pot with your hands to get two full pots. Xia He smiled with satisfaction and can’t drink it now. Put the rice wine in the coming year, it will be more mellow!
Grasping a few grains of rice wine with his fingers to He who couldn’t wait to taste it, then watched He helplessly, hoping that He could get out of trouble and stop reading about the sweetness of rice wine. Unexpectedly,
“Well, just as it smells, it has a sweet and sweet taste. Although there is still a spiciness that you want to choke in, it is still edible. Brother He, I want more, ah…” He finished the wine. After feeling, open his mouth and continue to ask Xiahe for the fermented wine.
“…”
“He, kids really can’t eat this. Come, let’s take a can of rice wine to the patriarch and them, and your uncle Chi is there too.” Regardless of He’s disappointment, he pouted and sealed both pots. , Put one of the cans that he wanted to keep under the kitchen cabinet in the kitchen, wait for Chi to come back and give him a drink, and take the other can to the patriarch and them. They are males. Xia He believes that they will like the sweetness and enthusiasm of rice wine, because he is also a man, and he can understand men’s passion for wine.
As I thought, a clay pot of rice wine burst the orcs in the courtyard house, which also
