Searching for food through the beast world

Chapter 145 Latest Update

Collection must be disciplined

The pearl fruit on the two acres of land was carefully picked by everyone and put into bags.A full sixty bags, which is a pretty impressive number for any individual.

In front of everyone, the village chief, together with Ge Zhong and others, transported [-] bags of pearl fruit back to the big cellar at the village head.And it is impossible for Ding Xiao to swallow the remaining [-] bags.Each of Feng, Muwa, Shizhong, Heiyi, Ming, Yiquan, and Huihu was given a bag.

These seven people never expected that they could get so much. They obviously didn't do much other than doing a little work when digging the ground and planting seeds.So when Ding Xiao opened his mouth, they were very embarrassed and refused to take it.

Brother Kun is very strong, just one sentence makes them obedient. "These are the seeds for you next year, don't take them from the village." The implication is that the seven of them will take less, and the other tribes will be able to share more.Although there are many things in the pearl fruit forest, the allocation of things will always be stared at by people.This is a matter of attitude.

Sure enough, there is a tiger in the family and everything is good!Ding Xiao thought so from the bottom of his heart, how could his black tiger have such aura and style! (Hey!)

Of the remaining 23 bags, I put ten bags in my vegetable cellar, sent six bags to the village chief's family, and sent six bags to my father and father's house.The remaining bag of Ding Xiao decided to grind it into powder tomorrow, steam the buns, cook the noodles, and bake the pancakes!Let people like Jing and Luxi have a good time.Really haven't enjoyed real pasta for more than half a year!

Father Joan naturally wouldn't be polite to his precious son, and he also knew that he would be unhappy if he didn't smile.Anyway, the two children come to eat every day, so where should they put it?But Liu Dai felt a little embarrassed.She really didn't expect that Xiaoxiao would let Kun send so many to her family.After all, they have never done any work in the field. Even if they and Peng Jia are Kun's father and mother, it is not very common to get something for nothing in the animal world.

In addition to being uneasy, Liu Dai still felt sorry for Xiaoxiao.Obviously harvested so much in the field, and in a blink of an eye there were only ten bags left for the son and daughter-in-law, and the two children were too willing.But even though her mentality was like this, she couldn't send back what the child sent over.It's just that she likes to smile more and more in her heart, but she also thought about it, she has to talk to this child when she finds time, but she can't give things so generously, even between relatives and friends, it's okay to help when there is difficulty OK.

At the bonfire feast at night, the priest announced three things.

The first thing is that including Ding Xiao, a total of eight people became her first batch of apprentices.And among these eight people, four are half-orcs, four are females, all are cubs over 20 years old and under 30 years old, and all of them have prospective partners.

The second thing is to confirm Luxi as the successor of the next sacrificial priest.Although this incident was beyond everyone's expectations, after all, Luxi was an unobtrusive half-orc cub, and she didn't show any talent or miracles.However, choosing a successor for the priest is something that others can't talk about. Everyone was surprised and passed away.Just looking at Luxi again gave him a sense of curiosity, as well as caution and respect.Fortunately, the sacrificial priest had told Luxi before, otherwise with Luxi's courage, he would have to bear his breath for what he said suddenly.

The third thing is her marriage to Ge Zhong.Because a successor has been determined, she plans to give herself a real home, and also give Ge Zhong a partner who can spend more time for her family and each other.And their marriage ceremony will be held after the people from Winter City come back.

The last news was unexpected to everyone, so all the villagers who came to the bonfire banquet to join in the fun were all excited.Some were happy for the priest and Ge Zhong, some were purely for the fun, and there were a few males who had a crush on the priest who were sad. Of course, there were also a few females and half-orcs who had liked Ge Zhong who felt sour for a while.

Ding Xiao was very excited.Ever since he heard Ge Zhonghe's "gossip" from Kun's mouth for the first time, he has always felt that Uncle Ge Zhong is really not easy, and he is a man who is absolutely good and absolutely worth relying on.Now that lovers finally get married, it must be a great joy.What's more, how can Ding Xiao not know how the priest takes care of him, and he himself has long regarded the priest as a relative like his father and father.A happy event for a loved one, isn't it just adding joy to happiness?Um!At that time, we must make a lot of delicious food to make the wedding ceremony of the auntie more perfect!No, I have to design what kind of dress is more beautiful. I can't do it myself, but I can design it~!

After the pearl fruit, the long-bearded sticks and pumpkins were harvested. This time, there was no celebration, and even the crowd of onlookers was very small.Because this is the season to go to the forest to harvest.

He Adie and Kun are mainly responsible for picking rice nuts in the distance, and their action must be earlier than the village.Joan's father picked pearl fruit together with the villagers.Ding Xiao did go to the woods with the others, but the number of pearl fruit he picked was very small.On the contrary, he brought back a lot of ginger and garlic. Some medicinal materials that can be used as spices are his main goal of collecting now.Anyway, there must be enough food this winter, so it's better to work harder on taste and nutrition.

The food on the land was almost picked, so Ding Xiao started making salted fish with Abba.

Kun and He Adie spent half a day fishing a few nets in their fish pond.Successfully fished out the big fish and left the small fish in the pond, and accidentally caught a big turtle.But the turtle was quickly put back into the pond by Ding Xiao.The reason is that this thing is a symbol of health and longevity in my hometown, and it can also bring auspiciousness and prosperity to people.So since it has entered the fish pond of your own house, it is a good sign.can not eat.In fact, the real reason why he did this was that his father and Kun were completely absolute and must not make up again. Nosebleeds are not fun!They made up a lot of money, and it's not fun that they and Dad will be miserable! !

There were [-] or [-] fish caught.Regardless of the small number, these are all big guys weighing seven or eight catties, and at first glance they are all tough fish that can grab food.It's a pity that it is still a human meal.

Because of Aunt Liu Dai's previous tips and teachings, Ding Xiao didn't send fish around this time.However, the uncle's family and the priest's family still gave away ten pieces.As for the rest of the fish, the four of them spent a whole day cleaning them up, which made the whole yard smell of fish and blood.

Ding Xiao didn't put much effort into the ingredients of pickled fish.Except for the taste of black pepper and pepper, the rest are marinated with sea salt alone.Anyway, there are many things in the river to eat fresh fish. These salted fish Ding Xiao used enough salt, and after only one night in the sun, the surface of the fish was covered with a white layer of salt frost.

Of course, how could more than 100 fish be marinated.Twenty of them were handed over to Kun and asked him to make fish balls.There are also four for sweet and sour, two for braised, and four for roasting.Ding Xiao also sliced ​​the meat of six fish and fried cumin fish sticks.In short, in the two days after fishing, there was no fish on the dining table of the four people.

The autumn wind became more and more penetrating. Thinking of the down jackets he asked Kun to tidy up, Ding Xiao worked hard for three days and made a down jacket with snakeskin that reached his knees.After putting it on, I tried it in the yard. The warmth retention property is definitely not inferior to that sold in modern society, and he started sweating within 5 minutes of using it.Of course, the season is out, and the sun is still working its might in the sky.

Kun is very interested in this down jacket.The snakeskin feels smooth and soft, while the down inside is light and fluffy, and it feels really good against the body.It's a pity that their males don't need this thing. "The feathers are really nice."

Ding Xiao hugged the down jacket and rolled it on the kang twice: "If it is made into a quilt, it will be much softer and lighter than a cotton quilt. But I don't like the down quilt, it feels too floaty, as if there is no cover Yes. By the way, after two days in the Winter Market, will they go to Yiquan?"

Kun nodded: "Cai made some thick leather clothes and plans to go to the winter market to sell them. Yiquan will take him there. Luxi is learning to read characters now, Feng will definitely not go. Go to Jinghe Muwa. If you have something to buy, you can entrust it." them."

Ding Xiao shook his head: "Where are there so many things to buy? There are enough things that have been brought back this year. I now feel that doing nothing is better than lying on the kang." It would be even better if I could have a book to read, It's a pity that this is a luxury.

Kun touched Xiaoxiao's head: "You've worked so hard recently, you've lost weight."

"Then why don't you say that my flesh is much stronger? It's just that I'm quite tired. I really envy you and Dad's physical strength." Alas, in such a thing as time travel, wearing the whole body in such a place, I am really doomed to be thrown away. The physique of the street!

Kun smiled: "When I become an adult, I will be like Uncle Joan."

Ding Xiao rolled his eyes at him, but didn't express any other opinions.If I can really have a physique like my father's, it will be very impressive.But he is very satisfied now, if before, he wanted to lift a hundred catties of rice with one hand, it would be a joke!In fact, think about it... I am still content and happy!

After the people in Dongshi left the village, those who stayed in the village continued to collect food in the safe area and nearby territories.Ding Xiao's family has already stored enough food, so apart from Apa He and Kun leading the hunting team in the village to hunt, Ding Xiao and Apa Joan just packed up the animal skins at home and dried the ones that needed to be dried. , It's time to wash.Some small pieces of animal skins were collected by Ding Xiao, and he was going to make some teddy bears for Miao Miao to play with, and take them to the market to try their sales.

He and Kun were still not at home that day, while Ding Xiao and Papa Qiong were at home beating the animal skins on the pole.This winter, there are more close-fitting and warm quilts, and these animal skin quilts have to be pressed into the bottom of the box.The father and son were chatting and laughing, and suddenly heard footsteps in the distance, and after a while, they saw Dongyi running to the door of their house.

Ding Xiao hurried over to open the door: "Why are you running? What's wrong?"

Dong Yi's face was flushed, she seemed both cold and a little excited, of course it could be seen that there was still a little bit of anxiety. "Jingheling quarreled in the safety zone, alarming the priest and the village chief!"

Ding smiled and raised his eyebrows.Ding Xiao has heard the names of these two people before, and he has a little impression of their appearance. Jing is a female, and they should be married.Ling is also an adult female, but does not yet have a prospective mate. "You came here to let us watch the excitement?"

Dong Yi nodded vigorously: "Of course! Jing is a female with a sharp mouth! But Ling is not forgiving. Everyone is watching the excitement!"

Seeing Dong Yi's expression of "Look, only I still think about you", Ding Xiao couldn't help but burst out laughing.Regarding the poor entertainment status of the orcs, he understood Dongyi's actions very well.But he's really not that interested in fighting.I can't hide from it.

But Joan's father was very curious: "Why did they come to fight?"

Dongyi hurriedly replied: "Because of the pearl fruit. The two of them took a fancy to a piece of pearl fruit, and it was a matter of whoever had the quickest hand could get the most. But Ling's physique is one of the best among the females, Jing is not as quick as Ling. As a result, she broke off the pearl fruit and the branches and leaves together in a hurry, and pulled out a lot. After Ling found out, he quarreled with her."

The father and son frowned upon hearing this.As I told you before, this pearl fruit is a perennial herb.As long as the roots remain and the plant is not damaged, it will continue to bear fruit the following year.The priest had already warned the villagers not to damage the pearl fruit seedlings, but now that something like this happened, it was no different from wasting food.It's no wonder that so many people gather around to watch the excitement. "Father, let's go and have a look."

In the past, even if these pearl fruit plants were pulled out and set on fire, no one would take a look at them, but the situation is different now.Now that there are several circles of people around, Jing has completely lost the energy to quarrel with Ling at the beginning, and she also regrets it very much, now that there are too many people, she becomes scared again.But his partner and father are in the hunting team now, and only his mother and younger brother rushed over.But in the face of the village chief and the priest, she knew that she had done something wrong, so now she could only keep silent and wait for her punishment.

At this moment, Ling looked at the destroyed pearl fruit on the ground, with anger still in his eyes.

The sacrificial priest is very clear, because Ling used to like Jing's partner Yang, so even though the two of them haven't had much contact, Jing always dislikes Ling.In addition, Ling has never chosen a partner to marry, and she is more capable than ordinary females, so Jing has to compete with Ling every time.Looking at the [-] or [-] pearl fruit plants that were broken and some had their roots pulled out, she didn't feel much distressed. After all, they had a lot of them in the safe zone of Tianhe Village, and such a quantity was not considered a loss. But if you don't care about it, it won't work if people want to save trouble in the future.

Just when the big guys looked at each other, waiting for the priest and the village chief to speak.Ding Xiao and Joan's father arrived.

Seeing Ding Xiao and Qiong, the onlookers quickly made way for the father and son to come out.People from this kind of place appear, and there may be some explanations.

Seeing Ding Xiao, the priest hurriedly asked: "Xiaoxiao, do you think there is any help for these?"

Ding Xiao glanced at it, the situation was a bit miserable, but it was not a big deal.He understood the priest's thoughts very well, so he frowned: "I can't say that. Let's bury the ones that were pulled out first. I don't know if the broken ones will grow back next year." Just tugged on Dad, and the father and son hurried to cook those poor pearl fruits.In fact, Ding Xiao doesn't quite understand, maybe cutting off the stems and leaves that bear fruit this year and leaving only the roots, so that new ones will grow next year can keep up.It's also possible that the regenerative ability of this thing is not strong.He didn't study agriculture either, and this pearl fruit didn't exist in his previous life.He can only be more cautious.But he felt that there was nothing wrong with it.I just don't know if the few roots that have been pulled out will work.

Looking at the root of the pearl fruit, Ding Xiao admired Jing very much. It takes a lot of strength to pull it out. She is really an amazing female!

Seeing Ding Xiao and his son sorting out the aftermath, Jing couldn't be happier. "I... I... I'm sorry everyone." Apart from this, she didn't know what to say.

Ding Xiao still doesn't quite understand these orcs' obsession with food.After all, the difference between what he heard and what he experienced was too great. He found so many edible things after he came here, so Shang Jing's "I'm sorry" made him suddenly very emotional.Respect for food, this is probably the most basic mentality that modern people have forgotten. "Everyone should not do this in the future, especially after we start farming next year, everyone should cherish these plants in the forest. There are many small animals that eat these fruits for food. If we destroy them all, Maybe many small animals will be hungry. If the small animals are starved to death, the larger beasts will have no food. In short, any kind of thing has its own role and position in the forest. We have to treat and cherish them .”

The priest was full of Yu Ding Xiao's preaching, and said: "Ding Xiao is right, you can't harm others to harm the forest for your own convenience. This is not allowed by the beast god. Jing, you have committed a crime. If you make a mistake, you must accept punishment. Come to my place tomorrow afternoon to help make ginger jujube powder. Also, everyone here today must listen clearly, if anyone deliberately destroys food in the forest in the future, it will no longer be as simple as helping Punishment!"
