Crossing to Live in the Wilderness Plains

The orcs did not have the habit of taking a lunch break, and they continued to work after eating a little barbecue at noon, and because of this, the progress of the excavation of the city wall's foundation was quite fast.

Chen Qiuyin simply calculated the time of the sun going down with his fingers, and determined that there was still an hour or two left before the sun went down, so he stopped his work and walked to the busy A-Chang, "A-Chang, finish work early today. , I'll teach you how to cook in a while."

A Zhang raised his head from the dug hole, and when he heard Chen Qi's words, he quickly agreed, "Clean up this place and I will let them find you."

"Just go to school, where the stove is ready to use."

A Zhang nodded, and Chen Qi went back first to prepare.

The school's cooking classroom is larger than the other two, with five stoves and several wooden tables in the middle for storing things. Aze and Ake went to help watch the kiln, while Ali came back to help Chen Qi.

Except for the dragons, most of the internal organs of dragons are inedible, so the prey returned by the hunting team during this period is only all kinds of meat.

Chen Qi took out all the livers that had been marinated in the summer until now. After too long, they lost their moisture. Chen Qi soaked them in cold water to wash off most of the salty taste.

The crucian carp was caught in the morning by A Ze, and there were two. Chen Qi only processed one of the fish and divided it into two large pottery plates, then filled it with water and put it on the stove to make soup.

Chen Qi just finished the preparations and the orcs came in. There were no stools in the classroom, so the orcs stood scattered. Chen Qi wiped his hands with a rag, "Let's have dinner together tonight, now I'm going to teach you what to do. After a few meals, you often cook and eat some when you get home, so that maybe you can see something at night."

"How do you know that we can't see at night?" After entering the winter, the eyesight of the old female and those who couldn't be beasts began to gradually decline, especially in the early summer, when the sun almost went down and they couldn't see anything. But it will slowly improve in the middle of summer, and the cycle will continue after winter. The orcs can only attribute this phenomenon to the reason for the loss of the power of beastization.

Chen Qi explained the characteristics of night blindness to everyone. He didn't know how serious their symptoms were, but it was obviously not natural. After all, middle-aged females like Ah Xu had normal vision, so Just a few dietary adjustments should improve symptoms.

"You mean that just eating more liver, fish soup, vegetables, etc. can make the condition of being unable to see things better at night?" A Zhang asked after listening to Chen Qi's explanation.

Chen Qi nodded, "You should only eat meat in winter, right? And you don't eat much. It's not like you can eat some wild fruits to improve in summer."

Ah Xu nodded slightly embarrassedly. In fact, it was not long after the winter when Ah Le came back and told them that the fish could be eaten. After passing the fish, there have been several incidents of dragons collectively appearing on the plains. The orcs almost did not even leave the tribe, and patiently stayed at home and waited for the end of winter.

Now that I moved here, I started to eat a little slowly, but some old women have experienced more things, and naturally they have seen the fate of those who secretly ate fish in the past, and the orcs can't swim, if they are not careful If you fall into the water without someone to rescue you, you will almost have to wait to die, so even if you know that these fish are not in danger, there is still some resistance in your heart. This is also the reason why A-Zhang brought people into the forest to hunt in advance. Otherwise, according to his previous plan, he would not consider entering the forest until the tribe was fully established.

"A lot of things can be eaten on the plain except wild fruits." Chen Qi took out the spare ginger, onion and garlic from the backpack next to him and put it on the wooden table where the things were placed, so that everyone could see what these things looked like.

These things were shown to them when Ali taught them how to make simple food, but the orcs are used to eating meat, and wild fruits are usually eaten only by males. The food is enough for the tribe to eat, so even if they usually put a little seasoning, the orcs still rarely eat it in their stomachs.

Chen Qi took out another package of rice berry powder that had been processed. The color was a little yellowish. These were collected by Aze and the hunting team during this period. He asked Ali to make two portions of minced meat and one portion. It is the ordinary rabbit dragon meat stuffing, one is the pickled liver stuffing that has been soaked before, and the two stuffings are mixed with chopped green onion. Chen Qi took a portion of rice berry powder and kneaded it into dough, and then used a rolling pin to roll it into the shape of a dumpling skin.

When making dumplings, let the other orcs do it together. The females are very good at doing things. Chen Qi only taught them twice and they can do it. Put the wrapped dumplings in a hot oil pot and fry them until golden brown. Add water and cook until the juice is dry, and then pour it out. Everyone gave a pair of chopsticks, "You guys have a taste."

Ale was the first to come up. He had tasted Chen Qi's craftsmanship, and unceremoniously put one in his mouth. He was burned because he ate too quickly, and praised inarticulately, "It's delicious."

The others hesitated for a while, and also stepped forward to grab one to taste. Chen Qi didn't do much, just one by one.

Here, rice berries are for young children. For example, Acheng has not eaten rice berries for more than 200 years. He has long forgotten what rice berries taste like. Now, after eating the crispy dumpling skins, he still feels a little fresh. The taste is very different from that of meat, but when you bite it, there will be a fragrant and tender meat filling.

The chopped green onion is not added much, and you can't eat it if you don't distinguish it carefully, and no one will deliberately tear the dumpling skin and pick it out a little bit.

After swallowing the dumplings, I still felt unsatisfied, but the cooked dumplings had already been eaten up, A Xu took a few steps forward, "Chen Qi, are you asking us to learn to cook this food?"

Chen Qi nodded, "You can call this kind of food dumplings. There are also a lot of processed rice berry powder here. You can make it according to the method I just taught."

There were several large tables in the room, and there were too many people, so Chen Qi asked them to learn to knead dough in batches, while he taught a few old women how to bake rice berries into powder.

Taking advantage of the break, Ah Zhang walked over to Chen Qi and briefly told him about the construction situation today, and then said, "Chen Qi, I want to speed up the construction of the city wall."

Chen Qi looked back at him, "Do you want to continue working at night?"

A Zhang nodded, "The surrounding area is too open. Once attacked, there is basically no way to hide. After the city wall is built, it will at least be safer."

Chen Qi has long known the reason, but A-Zhang has to make him feel strange when he mentions it now, "Did you find something in the hunt yesterday?"

A-Zhang paused, "I originally wanted to go into the forest two days later to confirm it and let you know. I found that there are traces of the activity of the giant wolf **** on the outskirts of the forest."

"...You mean that the giant wolf **** who saved you and Aze didn't return to Sanchenhe?"

"I don't know if it's the same head." A Zhang shook his head, "I'm afraid there are other reasons for the giant wolf **** to stay in the periphery, after all, we are too close to the forest. Now that we can help the clansmen solve the problem of being unable to see at night. In that case, it shouldn't be a problem to continue building the city wall at night, right?"

Chen Qi was silent for a while, "This is not a disease that can be cured by just eating one meal." And guiding the beasts to eat other food is not a one-time thing, Carlo has been eating with him for a long time, and he still doesn't like it except now. Vegetables other than potatoes and sweet potatoes.

"..."

Although there is no way to solve the problem of being unable to see at night with just one meal, A-Chang continued to build the city wall with his young females at night. In just one week, half of the city wall has already been built. The rice is so high, but unfortunately the firing speed of the earth kiln cannot keep up with the construction speed, so it has to slow down again.

Outside the fence of Chen Qi's house, a whole circle of ghost needle trees were planted around the wall. These ghost needle trees have been planted for almost two months. Once any one died, Aze would dig up and plant a new one. Once the ghost needle tree survives, it will basically not die again. Now the tree is full of ghost needle flowers of various colors hanging on the branches, which set off the entire wall very beautifully.

Others in the tribe saw it and planted it like this. Those annoying mosquitoes smelt the smell of ghost needles from a distance and avoided it. Now even if you are walking in the tribe, you can't see it. Figure of a bug.

The school now arranges two classes every day, a literacy class in the morning and a cooking class or a handicraft class in the evening. Chen Qi only taught a few classes in the first two days, and then threw these classes to A Jing and A Li. , Don't look at A Jing's young age, but he teaches things in an orderly manner. If he was born in Chen Qi's world, he would be a genius scholar.

Meanwhile, Chen Qize and Aze fiddled with the production of paper. A-Zhang originally wanted to come and see how it was done, but he was in charge of both the construction of the city wall and the hunting, so he didn't have time to watch.

The most troublesome thing in papermaking is mashing. Fortunately, Aze is very strong, and it is very fast to do this work after handing it over to him. However, Chen Qi has never made paper himself, so he can only experiment while doing it, and he naturally fails several times during the period. Second-rate.

Looking at the slowly drying paper on the slate, Chen Qi carefully tore it off. This piece of paper is yellowish-brown, and it is only about eight open. Although the surface of the paper is very rough, some unmashed plant fibers can still be seen. It was also bumpy because the last step was uneven, but this still couldn't hide Chen Qi's excitement, "Aze, Aze, look at it, it's done."

A Ze breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Chen Qi has been fiddling around day and night these past few days. He is really afraid that the other party's body will be overwhelmed. "Ok."

"Is this the paper?" A Zhu curiously leaned over and looked at it. He didn't expect that the pile of mushy things would turn into this after drying.

"There will be more things that can be done with paper." Chen Qi carefully put away the first finished product. Taking advantage of this feeling now, he has to make more. Now that there are no glue leaves, Chen Qi's hands have been itching for a long time. With paper, he can record some edible things.

"This pulp is still too rough, Aze, you can beat it a little more finely."

"good."
