Crossing to Live in the Wilderness Plains

The three-day period is neither long nor short. Before the wedding, Azer needs to do some pre-marriage preparations, such as trying on clothes and sticking couplets. At this time, Chen Qi became very quirky, and he had to re-post the happy word a little crookedly. When trying on the clothes, A Ze's hairstyle did not match the suit, and he even gave A Ze a haircut with a sword-horn knife. .

Because A-Zhang left all the food stored to his clan, the prey he hunted during this period was not enough for him and Ali to survive the winter, so today he can only go hunting in the forest by himself while the weather is fine.

Usually A Zhang and A Ze go to the forest to divide the labor. A Zhang is in charge of hunting, A Ze is in charge of finding all kinds of edible plants and cutting firewood. Now there are piles of firewood like a hill in the yard, because it is not clear. Does Chen Qi need to use the firewood in other places? The firewood that Aze cut down is piled together in the original place, and it is split and used when it needs to be used.

Because it was a moonless day, when A-Zhang went out in the morning, A-Li had told him that he had to come back early today, and A-Zhang naturally nodded in agreement to A-Li's words. But that day, until the sky turned completely dark, A-Zhang hadn't been seen.

"Why don't I go look for it." Seeing Ali who was anxiously walking around in front of the door, A Ze suggested.

"No, wait and see." Ali refused, even though he knew that Azer was very strong, it was not a wise move to enter the forest on the moonless day in winter.

Fortunately, A-Zhang came back not long ago. Today, I rarely saw him bring back his prey, but came back with more than a dozen pieces of firewood. Not only A Li, who has been worried all the time, but even Chen Qi found out that A Zhang was wrong.

A Li hurried up to meet him and helped unload the firewood from A Zhang's shoulders. After returning to the house, he gave him a bowl of warm **** syrup. A Zhang took the pottery bowl but did not rush to drink it. Instead, he looked around at the people surrounding him. Finally, his eyes fell on A Li, and he said with a heavy expression: "The dolphin dragon on the periphery of the forest has disappeared."

The expressions of all orcs except Chen Qi sank when they heard the news. The disappearance of the dolphin dragon is not the first time, but an inevitable event that occurs every year, but what worries everyone is that this year's dolphin dragon disappeared too early.

The reason why it is said to disappear rather than leave is because the dolphin dragon is different from when it first came to the periphery in the early winter. Its departure disappeared almost overnight, with no footprints and no traces, as if it had never appeared. Same in Loya Forest.

But in previous years, the dolphin dragon would disappear in the middle of summer. This winter, half of the dolphin dragon disappeared. You must know that the animals on the Dora Plain will not migrate back next year. Prey, so how do the orcs spend the summer? If the dolphin dragon does not reappear in the coming winter, how will it survive the cold winter?

"Without the dolphin dragon, are there also no other animals?" Chen Qi, who was airborne, obviously couldn't feel the worries of the orcs.

"Only the dolphin dragon disappeared." A Zhang replied, "The other dragons are still there, but the dolphin dragon is a huge dragon that can be hunted by one person. Unless a few people cooperate in hunting, the success rate of other dragons is not high. high, and the casualties are high.”

Chen Qi was surprised that you turned your head and asked Aze, "Didn't you hunt back two antelope dragons last time?"

Aze shook his head, "The speed of the antelope dragon is too fast, and the orcs can't catch up. It takes too much luck to hunt the antelope dragon."

"And I'm worried..." A Zhang paused, his face full of worry, "I'm afraid I won't be able to enter the forest this winter. When I came back, I saw several locust dragons gathered together, even outside the forest. Saw the trail of Stegosaurus."

Stegosaurus's range of activities is only in the center of the forest. It is abnormal enough for the locust dragons living alone to gather together, and now the figure of Stegosaurus can still be seen. Everyone fell silent.

A Ze looked at Chen Qi, pondered for a while, and said to A Zhang: "Uncle A Zhang, don't go to the forest this winter. We have stored enough food this year, plus you have returned from hunting during the winter. Yes, it's enough for a few of us to get through the winter."

A Zhang looked at A Ze and Chen Qi with complicated eyes, and found that Chen Qi did not respond after hearing A Ze said that he would share the food, and was about to say something Ali grabbed his arm , "That's the decision. The food thing will wait until the winter is over."

Chen Qi thought for a while and suggested, "Since we no longer need to go out to the forest, then we can seal the front and rear doors of the fence, and only place a long enough wooden ladder inside, so that even if there are dragons passing by, it will be safer."

The others nodded in agreement, the height of the wall was not a hindrance to the females' bouncing power. Seeing that everyone had made a decision, A-Zhang stopped being hypocritical and wanted to oppose it. He immediately lit the oil lamp, moved enough snow outside overnight, sealed the front and rear wooden doors, and buried sharpened Wooden stakes.

The things that need to be prepared for the wedding have already been done. After finishing the fence, everyone temporarily forgot about the threat of the forest, and looked forward to the wedding ceremony they had never seen before.

Looking at the white ice wall that surrounded it densely, Chen Qi was very fortunate that the yard was large enough at the beginning. If it was close enough, it would be no different from a prison. However, Chen Qi is a person who can live in a house, but he is not worried about any discomfort. He has only been out of this world only a handful of times since he came to this world, and now he just continues to live like this.

On the morning of the first day of the month, it was still in a state of no sun, and when the sky was still completely dark, Chen Qi got up and got up. It would be better to say that he was so nervous that he couldn't sleep all night. Seeing Chen Qi get up, Aze also got up silently.

Chen Qixian replaced all the sheets on the heated kang bed with newly made red quilts, and then began to prepare to eat.

The taste of rice berries picked after winter is a bit similar to glutinous rice, but it will have a little astringency, which is very different from the sweet rice aroma before winter. Before going to bed, I opened a few rice berries and placed them by the fire in a clay plate, and dried the water by the temperature of the fire. Although they are not completely dry, they can be used.

Chen Qi first mixed the boiled sugar water into the rice berries and kneaded.

Chen Qizheng was putting out the things he needed when he heard Carlo's voice outside the door, "Chen Qi, are you up yet?"

Chen Qi wiped his hands and went to open the door. A thick wooden door had already been installed at the door. When he opened the door, there was a thick animal skin curtain outside. The temperature in the morning was relatively low, and Carlo stomped his feet in the cold. When he saw Chen Qi open the door Can't wait to run into the warm room.

"Why are you alone today? Where's Akko?"

Carlo warmed his body before leaning into the fire, "Ake has been sleepy these two days, I'll let him sleep for a while, I see the curtains on your window are open, so I want to come over early to see if there is anything I need help with. ."

The windows of Carlo's house and Chen Qi's house are facing each other. As long as Chen Qi gets up, he will open the curtains first. Carlo can know if they have woken up by looking at them at home. While the two were talking, A Zhang and A Li also came. A Jing slept for a long time at a young age, so he hadn't woken up yet, and A Li didn't ask him to come over.

A-Zhang was sent by Chen Qi to work with A-Zegan to knead the dough, while A-Li and Carlo were responsible for the meatballs and the French fries, and the prepared food was placed by the fire. Warm on a wooden shelf.

The small handful of mung beans that A Jing brought over had Chen Qi ground into powder, and Chen Qi planned to make the first piece of dough that A Ze kneaded into glutinous rice balls. There are two flavors of glutinous rice balls, one is the original flavor, and the other is a dough mixed with steamed sweet potato mash, which is wrapped with sugar-crushed mung bean powder, rolled into small balls, and placed in a ceramic plate. Steam.

After kneading the other dough, Chen Qi kneaded the dough into a suitable weight and formed it into the shape of a bread, and asked Azer to find a cloth to cover the dough and put it aside to let the dough ferment on its own. After all the fried food was ready, Chen Qi took out the burning wood on the stove, leaving only the red charcoal fire inside. Chen Qi first made scratches on the dough with a sword-horn knife, and then placed it on a heavy piece of wood. The area of ​​the wood can only be placed three at a time. Chen Qi put on protective animal leather gloves and placed the dough on the dough Put the wood in the stove, and then seal the mouth of the stove with a wooden board.

Chen Qi made bread for the first time, and he didn't know what the effect would be. He didn't know if the temperature was enough if he used the stove as an oven, and he didn't know if the dough would rise without yeast, but he still tried it. .

When the sun came out, Ake also came. His eyes were still half-squinted, as if he had not woken up. When he entered the door, he saw the three-story tall wooden shelf beside the fire full of freshly baked food. , picked up a white glutinous rice ball and stuffed it into the mouth, "How do you make so much food today? Can you finish it?"

"It looks good even if you don't finish eating it." Chen Qi smiled, the only wedding in his life, a luxury one is not a hindrance.

"This is delicious, but so sweet." Ake picked up another orange-yellow glutinous rice ball mixed with mashed sweet potato, "Why is this sweeter?"

"Chen Qi, I can smell the fragrance." Carlo, who was squatting by the stove, beckoned to Chen Qi. Because the bread was made by Chen Qixin, it was made by putting it on the stove. Carlo was very curious and put the bread in his hand. After finishing the things, he squatted in front of the stove and guarded.

Chen Qi walked over and removed the wooden board at the mouth of the stove, then put on gloves, and took out the wood containing the bread. A sweet and familiar smell of bread poured into his nostrils. Chen Qi couldn't help but cut one with a sword-horn knife. Everyone tasted the taste, um, the shriveled ones were a little brittle, a little hard, and a little sweet, not delicious, but not bad either.

Chen Qi asked Aze to pick out the red-hot charcoal from the fire and put it on the stove, then took out a few milk fruit, spread the milk fruit liquid all over the remaining dough, and then continued to bake it.

After tasting the bad taste of bread, Carlo lost interest in this kind of food, and continued to return to the fire to make other food that he thought was delicious. During this time, he learned a lot of food recipes from Chen Qi. , there is a rare chance to be able to eat all of them at one time, and Carlo naturally has to show it.

And Chen Qi took Aze back to his room to change his clothes after taking advantage of the things he had in hand.
