Chapter 101 Jiao Rui Tofu

Jian Mo has been to the Salt Lake several times and taken salt lake water several times.

This step was not difficult at all, and they got the salt lake water back the next day.

The salt lake water in summer is slightly clearer than the salt lake water in winter, but it is still translucent yellow.

Jian Mo dipped a little into it and tasted it. It was salty and bitter. There should be a lot of metal ions in it. It could be used as brine. It was probably correct.

Jian Mo said to Wu Jiong: "The salt lake water has been retrieved. The next step is to soak the beans and grind the soy milk."

Wu Jiong: "Do the beans need to be boiled in salt water first?"

Jian Mo: "Cook! It is safer to cook. After cooking, I will soak it in the river for two days, and we will make tofu again the day after tomorrow. "

It was the first time to make tofu, and Jian Mo didn't know whether it would be successful. She originally wanted to make less, but Qing Kuo and others took the initiative to bring the beans to the door. , said that he would make tofu with him, and everyone would have a taste after it was done.

Qing Kuo explained: "There are quite a lot of beans outside. If the tofu can be made successfully, we will add beans to the recipe in the future."

Jian Mo thought about it: "Let's give it a separate name, just call it bitter beans." How about it? If you find beans that are not bitter in the future, you will have to distinguish them."

Qing Kuo agreed: "The name is good, and you will know what kind of food it is."

Jian Mo: "Okay, let's do it. Let's boil the beans and soak them tonight, and then take them back to make tofu

the day after tomorrow." Qing Kuo: "I'll also make arrangements to make the tofu out."

A few days passed by, and on the official day of making tofu, half of the tribe. The orcs are here.

Qing Kuo said: "Today we will listen to your command. What are we going to do?"

Jian Mo already had a plan in mind: "First send these beans to the stone mill to grind them into soy milk. After they are ground, we will proceed to the next step. "

After hearing this, everyone picked up the beans from the river and followed Jian Mo to grind the beans in the back mountain.

These beans were soaked for two days and swelled to three times their previous size. The beans were crystal clear and looked a bit like translucent pebbles.

Jian Mo gently squeezed it with his hands, and the outer layer of skin came off, and the two watercress were easily crushed in his hands.

Jian Mo looked at the cleaned stone mill: "First remove the outer layer of skin from the beans before grinding them. Remember to wash your hands."

Everyone laughed: "I washed them long ago. How can I not wash my hands when I'm cooking with you?"

Jian Mo Ye smiled: "I just want to say a few more words just in case."

They have enough people here. After carefully removing the outer layer of skin, they directly put the large beans into the hole of the stone mill and slowly pushed it Stone grind soy milk.

Today when grinding soy milk, they didn't add any water at all. The soy milk that came out was white and thick. It felt very delicate and smelled okay.

Jian Mo directed them to grind three large baskets of beans and grind out five barrels of soy milk.

The five barrels of soy milk contained a large amount of bean dregs. He took people directly back to the kitchen, poured the bean dregs into a large iron pot, added water and boiled it, stirring while cooking.

Perhaps because of multiple times of steaming and soaking, the soy milk now finally smells like bean flavor after cooking.

After the soy milk was boiled, Jian Mo took a spoonful and tasted it. The bitterness was very light, and it had more of a bean flavor.

With a thought in his heart, he asked everyone to wait, and then went to bring a jar of sweet sap over.

The sweet juice has been stored for a few days, and now it has been further concentrated. It is thicker and sweeter than honey. It should be very good to use with soy milk.

Jian Mo said, "Everyone, bring out the bowls and try this soy milk."

Before giving out the soy milk, Jian Mo specifically asked Qing Kuo: "The beans have been boiled and soaked. If the soy milk is cooked like this, it shouldn't be poisonous, right?" Qing Kuo asked

Qing Kuo . Kuo said with certainty: "It's not poisonous."

Jian Mo took out a spoon and asked someone to put half a spoonful of sweet juice into each bowl, and then pour in the boiling soy milk.

When the snow-white soy milk and sweet juice are mixed, it immediately turns slightly yellow.

Jian Mo was especially careful when distributing the soy milk to the cubs, pouring only half a bowl: "Hold it firmly, be careful not to burn it."

The soy milk in the pot was still cooking, and the aroma of the beans was getting stronger and stronger, while the soy milk in their bowls was A sweet scent.

Some people who are not afraid of burning took a sip and were immediately captivated by the wonderfully smooth texture and sweet taste.

"It tastes great!"

"Soy milk with sweet juice tastes so good. It tastes completely different from adding it to water."

"Beast God, how can bitter beans taste like this?! I've really learned a lot."

Jian Mo took two sips of the soy milk with satisfaction: "This soy milk tastes a bit like the soy milk we have there. Although it is still a bit bitter, it tastes very fragrant."

Ye Luo said thoughtfully: "It's very fragrant, just soaked beans . "Grinding and cooking beans is a bit troublesome. If you don't put some sweet juice in it, it would be delicious." Jian Mo responded to Ye Luo's explanation and said, "Yes, there is indeed such a way to drink it

."

After finishing the soy milk, someone quickly went out with the bowl to put it away temporarily, and then came back to watch.

Qing Kuo: "What should we do next?"

Jian Mo: "Let's filter out the cooked soy milk first. Yes, use the cloth I prepared in advance."

Jian Mo has already washed and disinfected the cloth. It can be used directly now.

He tied the cloth to a wooden stick and said, "Just pour the soy milk in and filter it."

Two strong sub-orcs immediately carried the soy milk, carefully poured it onto the cloth and began to filter it. Jian Mo put a big basin under it to catch it. .

After filtering, everyone also lifted the cloth and squeezed it hard to squeeze out the slurry water inside as much as possible.

They ground a lot of beans today, and Jian Mo added a lot of water when cooking them in the pot. In the end, they got a total of eight barrels of filtered soy milk.

Facing the slightly cooled soy milk, Jian Mo directly pulled out the salt lake water: "The next step is to add the salt lake water to the soy milk. The secret of this step is to observe while adding it. Don't add too much, otherwise it will be bitter. "It's not good for your health."

As he spoke, Jian Mo took a clean spoon, scooped up the salt lake water and slowly poured it into the bucket while stirring.

As soon as he poured it in, the soy milk immediately condensed out.

Success!

Jian Mo cheered up. After doing this, there was basically no problem.

Jian Mo slowly poured the salt lake water and stirred it with his hands. More and more flocs separated from the light yellow water.

He didn't know what the light yellow water was. It looked a bit like whey protein, but at this point, there was definitely nothing wrong with it.

Jian Mo commanded: "Bring in the washed basket, it seems ready."

Qing Kuo and Ye Luo immediately brought the basket in and put an empty basin under it.

Jian Mo checked and made sure that the bottom of the basket was covered with cloth. Then he scooped the coagulated tofu in and filled it almost. Then he wrapped the tofu in cloth, then put a wooden board on top and placed a big stone on it. .

Qing Kuo: "Is this enough?"

Jian Mo looked at it and said, "Okay, it should be almost done. Let's take it outside to dry. When a drop of water drops, the tofu inside will take shape, and the tofu will be ready."

Qing Kuo: "It doesn't seem too difficult."

Jian Mo: "Yes, the steps are not difficult. As long as you know the principle, you can basically make it."

Qing Kuo was eager to try: "I will make the next bucket of soy milk."

Ye Luo followed, "I The second one."

Min Dang continued, "I want to try it too."

The rest of them raised their hands and said they wanted to try making tofu.

Jian Mo made arrangements, with eight barrels of soy milk, just enough for eight people to try.

They made a basket of tofu from a bucket of soy milk, and soon the tofu was ready and carried out.

The water in the yard is dripping, and the whole yard is filled with the fragrance of beans.

After the last bucket of tofu was finished, everyone cleaned up the kitchen and cleaned the used tools. Jian Mo took them to see the first basket of tofu.

To Jian Mo's surprise, this basket of tofu was very successful. Although it was more like tender tofu and not as solid as old tofu, it already looked very good.

Jian Mo smelled it and felt that it was the tofu smell he often smelled, with a slight bitterness at most.

Jian Mo turned around and exposed the tofu for everyone to see: "This is the tofu I'm talking about."

Everyone crowded up to watch, and the cubs came out from under the adults' feet.

Jian Mo took out a clean dagger from his waist and cut a large piece for everyone to taste: "It's ready to eat. Try it first?"

Ye Luo: "Eat it raw?"

Jian Mo: "Soy milk is already cooked. Salt Lake I've boiled the water, and the tofu shouldn't be considered raw food."

Jian Mo said and threw a piece into his mouth.

Raw tofu has a slightly sweet and bitter taste, as well as a warm aroma. It tastes soft and tender and has a unique texture.

If you ignore the bitter taste, it is indeed the tofu that Jian Mo is most familiar with.

Jian Mo's expression was quite calm, but the others couldn't stand still.

"Hey, this is the first time I have eaten this kind of food in my whole life."

"If I had known that beans could be made into tofu, I would have picked more beans last year."

"Not to mention, I have already thought about it in the past two days. When I picked some, I found that the vines were full of pods. Once I picked them, there weren't many mature pods.

"It's true. If you look for something, it will disappear."

Jane . Mo listened to their chat: "How is it? It's not a loss to make these beans into tofu, right?"

Qing Kuo: "It's not a loss, it's just a little troublesome."

Jian Mo: "Yes, so we usually have people who specialize in making tofu. Let's trade the tofu for other supplies."

Min Dang couldn't help but said, "The tofu is so delicious, I'm willing to trade it for meat."

Jian Mo: "That's what it means. It's good to change it occasionally to improve the taste."

Qing Kuo: "How to eat tofu? Is it okay to eat it like this?" Jian

Mo waved his hand: "It's too wasteful to eat like this. I'll teach you other ways to eat it. I'll change it."

Someone in the crowd immediately shouted: "Is the arrow-bone beast okay? My friend caught a arrow-bone beast yesterday and came back, but he hasn't had time to eat it yet."

Jian Mo: "Okay. Take out the arrow-bone beast's meat and chop it into meat Ding, give it to me later. I'll go cut some green onion leaves and teach you how to make peppercorn tofu."

He originally wanted to say Mapo tofu, but then he thought about it, there is no mapo, no pepper, and no bean paste. You can make do with peppercorn tofu.

Qing Kuo said: "How about we have a dinner together? Let's do it in the open space. It just so happens that everyone can learn from it. We also take out the ingredients from each family and make some other food."

This was unanimously agreed by everyone.

Jian Mo said: "Then let me cook a few more dishes about tofu. Which one of you has time to catch two fish?"

Before the adults could speak, Jiang Xing led a group of cubs and shouted: "We! Jane Brother Mo, we are free, let's go catch fish!"

Jian Mo glanced at the parents of the cubs and saw that no one had any objection, so he smiled and said, "Okay, I'll leave the task of catching fish to you."

Jiang Xing immediately took the cubs and ran towards the river. The humanoid cubs ran faster, while the chubby beast-shaped cubs landed on all four paws behind and fell while running. Fortunately, they kept up.

Everyone looked at Jian Mo, waiting for Jian Mo to assign tasks to them.

The tribe had gathered for so many meals, and as a chef, Jian Mo was already able to skillfully direct people to work.

Not to mention anything else, prepare a large amount of slate barbecue and boiled stems. With these two staple foods, the dinner is half successful.

Everyone was busy, but as the chef, Jian Mo didn't get his turn so quickly.

After he went to the fields to collect spices, he went to see the cubs.

Jiu Jiu heard the noise and ran out, playing with the cubs.

The cubs ran to the river and showed off their magical powers.

Cubs that can take the form of beasts have an advantage over cubs in human form, as they can naturally float on the river.

The humanoid cub has more skills and is more flexible, and can catch fish easily.

Jian Mo watched from the shore for a while, watching them killing each other indiscriminately.

Of course, the cubs are quacking and killing indiscriminately, and the tweets can only quack.

Jiu Jiu was originally inflexible and had a weak bite force. Jian Mo saw Jiang Xing and the others working together to drive a big fish to Jiu Jiu's feet. Jiu Jiu lowered his head and took a bite, successfully catching the big fish.

However, its bite force was really bad. The big fish struggled desperately in its mouth and slapped it several times. It couldn't hold it in its mouth and couldn't bite the big fish, so it could only open its mouth and let the big fish get free. .

When Jiang Xing and the other cubs saw this scene, they patted Chiu Jiu's belly and sighed in a decent manner: "Ouch."

Jiu Jiu was also a little ashamed, sitting in the water with his head lowered, his big eyes rolling around. I just don't dare to look at my friend.

Seeing that they were having fun, Jian Mo didn't bother them. After briefly washing the spices in his hands, he returned to the open space.

Everyone has prepared the vegetables, started roasting the meat, and cooked the stems.

The barbecue is made with Jian Mo's special barbecue powder. After being soaked in fat, the aroma of large-leaf garlic powder is stimulated and wafts to half of the tribe.

Regardless of the orcs or sub-orcs, everyone was not in the mood to sing and dance around the campfire for the first time, and they were all preparing food.

Seeing this, Jian Mo didn't hesitate and asked everyone to light a big fire, put a large metal pot on the simple stove, then boil water and start blanching the tofu.

Qing Kuo was puzzled: "Didn't you say that the tofu is cooked?"

Jian Mo: "Yes! But blanching it again can remove the beany smell and bitterness."

Qing Kuo: "It's really complicated."

Jian Mo Holding a large spatula with a smile, he poured oil first, then poured the minced meat into the iron pot, stir-fried over high heat, added seasonings and fruit wine after frying until fragrant, and then added boiling water.

When the water boiled, he poured the tofu in, boiled it for a while, and then thickened it with starch water.

The secret to making tofu delicious and piping hot is to thicken the sauce multiple times so as not to separate the sauce from the tofu.

Soon, a rich aroma that even the orcs and sub-orcs had never smelled wafted out.

Jian Mo didn't care about it, just let the tofu simmer and started frying the fish in another large iron pot.

After the fish was fried, he poured boiling water into it to make a milky white soup, then added tofu and started to slurp it too.

Night falls as the fragrance gets stronger and stronger.

Everyone gathered in a big circle and got ready for dinner.

The pepper tofu and tofu fish soup are limited, each person is given a small half bowl, and the stems and roasted meat are free to eat.

Everyone was the first to taste the hot pepper tofu.

The pepper tofu is fresh, tender, hot and spicy. When you blow it and put it on the tip of your tongue, it seems to be still bouncing on the tip of your tongue.

The taste is so special and the texture is also very special.

Most people were surprised.

"This Jiaorui tofu is different from the raw tofu we eat."

"Jiaorui tofu is good for cooking. If there is Jiaorui tofu to eat, I can eat wild vegetables boiled in salt water."

"It's crispy inside . The crispy minced meat is also delicious, so you must eat it wrapped in tofu!"

Everyone exchanged opinions while eating, and they all felt that the tofu this time was not in vain.

So fragrant.

It's unimaginable that beans that are disliked not only by people but also by insects would taste like this after being made.

Although the process is relatively complicated, it would be wonderful to stay in the tribe and make tofu on rainy, snowy or windy days when it is not suitable to go out.

Jian Mo ate tofu and felt a little relieved, but Mapo Tofu was still delicious.

It would be great if one day he could find all the seasonings, especially chili peppers, to make some spicy Mapo Tofu.

It's best to have a bowl of fragrant rice.

Wu Jiong really likes Jiao Rui Tofu. His eating movements are still very nice, and his speed has obviously sped up.

Jian Mo glanced at him and put the peppercorn tofu he was assigned into his hand: "You eat, I'll eat some barbecue."

Wu Jiong looked at Jian Mo's expression and saw that he really didn't like it, so he took it. bowl.

The kitten Banjiu on the side rolled his eyes and saw that the two fathers were opposite him. He didn't care about his side, so he rubbed his head against his brother Ban Ming's leg: "Meow, brother, I want more."

Ban Ming then He hit the kitten's head and said, "You've already eaten all the peppercorn tofu."

Banjiu meowed again, jumped onto his brother's lap, and twisted into his arms.

Ban Ming pinched the back of his neck, trying to pull him out, but the guy was grunting and stepping on his breasts. Ban Ming couldn't lift him up with force, so he had to curse the guy in a low voice and let him shrink to himself. Gone in my arms.

Cat Banjiu raised his head, rubbed Ban Ming's chin with his round head, and stared at Jiao Rui Tofu: "Meow."

Ban Ming sighed resignedly, rubbed the kitten twice, and then She put some chili pepper tofu in her bowl and gave it to him: "Who did you learn this from?"

Banjiu looked at Jian Mo and Wu Jiong next to him, looked back, did not answer, and just rubbed his cheek against his brother's. Wrist, hooked his tail: "Meow."

Chapter 102

The tofu made by twin Jian Mo was unanimously welcomed by everyone, and everyone also paid attention to beans.

However, as they say, beans come from wild plants, and the yield is not actually high.

They picked beans from several nearby mountains, but they only had more than twenty baskets. They opened the pods and took only six baskets of beans inside.

Jian Mo taught everyone how to make tofu, and the tribe gave him three baskets of beans.

He felt guilty and asked Qing Kuo: "Is it too much?"

Qing Kuo: "The tribe unanimously agreed after discussion. There are only three baskets. I feel that the payment is too little, but there are only so many beans outside. We have to wait for another twenty or thirty days, so we can only wait until then."

Jian Mo: "It seems that the beans grow very slowly."

Qing Kuo: "Plants with particularly large fruits grow very slowly. ."

Qingkuo went back after delivering the beans.

Jian Mo pinched the beans and put them in the sun to dry, planning to dry them and store them, then steam and soak them when needed.

He really wanted to make some soy sauce, bean paste, etc., but unfortunately he had never had much contact with related sauces before, and he didn't know how to make them at the moment.

He remembered that others usually made sauce in autumn and winter. On such a hot day, he was afraid of spoiling it. He planned to wait until the weather cooled down before trying it again.

Soy sauce is temporarily unavailable, but their fish sauce is pretty good.

Jian Mo sometimes opens the jar to dry it in the sun and stirs it to fully ferment the fish inside.

After this period of high-salt fermentation, some fish has been exposed. The color is a bit like light-colored soy sauce, and there is no strange smell. It is estimated that it should be fermented next year.

After Jian Mo finished drying the beans, he went to collect the fish traps in the river.

Their fish cages are kept in the river and harvested every two or three days, and they usually have a harvest.

If it is a big fish, Jian Mo will cook it normally. If it is a small fish, he will usually finish it. After cooking and washing the pot, he will spread the fish evenly in the pot and use the residual heat of the stove to dry the fish and shrimp.

In the morning, the sun just came out.

Jian Mo walked home along the river and saw a large group of cubs fishing by the river from a distance.

Fishing was taught by Jian Mo. He used an improved version of the Qinhai tribe's fishing rod, which added a buoy made of feathers.

Compared with catching fish in the river, fishing relies more on luck and is easier. The cubs like fishing very much these days.

Jian Mo looked at the cubs, mainly looking at Jiujiu squatting behind them.

Jiujiu folded its wings and squatted behind. From a distance, it looked like a big triangular rice dumpling, only furry.

Looking closer, it looks like a puppy waiting eagerly for the fish to eat.

Before Jian Mo could get closer, it heard the noise first, turned around and saw that it was Jian Mo. It said happily: "Chirp-"

Now all the cubs turned their heads.

Jian Mo smiled and asked, "Did the fishing go well?"

The cubs, one or two, all had straight faces, nodded seriously, and closed their mouths tightly.

Jiang Xing said quietly and seriously: "Brother Jian Mo, don't talk to Jiu Jiu, or you may scare the fish away."

Jian Mo was happy and nodded: "Okay, then I'll go."

Jiu Jiu looked at Jian Mo and then Looking at the cubs who were fishing, he moved his steps, struggled for a long time, and finally continued to follow the cubs - he couldn't bear to part with the fish they caught.

Jian Mo went home to make breakfast while having fun.

Wu Jiong went out on patrol last night and hasn't turned over yet. The meal can be cooked later, but it needs to be more substantial. After eating, he can catch up on his sleep.

Jian Mo hummed a song and cooked slowly. The flame under the stove was burning brightly. The meat slices in the pot were stir-fried over high heat and curled quickly, exuding the unique aroma of fried meat.

He poured the fruit wine inside, and as the steam rose, the aroma became stronger.

Just as the spatula and the pot collided, someone outside shouted: "Doctor Jian Mo——"

Hearing this call, Jian Mo was a little surprised. The only people who would call him Doctor Jian Mo were people from other tribes.

He scooped some water from the water tank on the side and poured it into the pot, letting the dishes murmur: "Here it comes -"

Jian Mo went out to take a look and found that the person coming was Peng Xi from the Tianning tribe who was very good at making pottery. .

Peng Xi rode the thin flying winged beast and landed at their door: "Doctor Jian Mo——"

Jian Mo: "Why are you here? Come in quickly."

The thin flying winged beast saw Jian Mo and fanned it excitedly wing.

Jian Mo went over, pulled the reins of the winged beast and asked Peng Xi to come down: "What's the matter?"

Peng Xi slid down the winged beast's body: "Our tribe heard that you cured the leader of the Qinhai tribe. News, I also heard that you are helping the orcs who are pregnant with cubs recently -"

Jian Mo: "Absolutely. Are there any orcs in your tribe who are pregnant with cubs?"

Peng Xi: "Yes! Shan Yan in our tribe is the one who is pregnant with cubs. Ya-orc, he is about to give birth. His partner is an orc from the Xiongying tribe. The fetuses of the Xiongying tribe are relatively large. Our tribe is worried that the fetus in his belly will take the animal shape of the Xiongying tribe and it will be difficult to give birth, so I would like to invite you to come and have a look. ——"

Peng Xi looked really nervous, and there was a lot of content in his mouth.

Jian Mo recalled that the shape of the heroic tribe's beasts was somewhat similar to a unicorn. It looked like a strong horse with gnarled muscles, a particularly huge one, and a long sharp horn.

It would definitely be more difficult to give birth to a pony.

This is true even if the fetus is relatively small.

Jian Mo became serious: "Has your water broken yet?"

Peng Xi: "Not yet, but dad and the others said I'm about to give birth."

Jian Mo: "Sit down first, and I'll go tell Wu Jiong and we'll be there right away." "

Peng Xi said nervously: "Hey, okay."

Jian Mo patted his shoulder, quickly went into the kitchen to put the dishes in, and poured water into the pot to prevent them from drying out.

Before hurriedly going out, Dara, the skinny winged beast in the yard, saw Jian Mo coming out, flapped her wings again, and looked at Jian Mo expectantly with a pair of big eyes: "Chirp."

Jian Mo looked at this guy's expression and slapped his forehead. , went back to the kitchen, brought out a bucket of bean dregs, then brought a basin of minced meat soup, and called Pengxi: "Pengxi, can you feed your Dara first so that she can eat first? You will have to carry it later." I'll fly back with you."

Peng Xi came out immediately: "You also prepared food for our family Dara?"

Jian Mo explained: "This was originally prepared for Jiu Jiu, let's share it with Dara first. "

Said, Jian Mo poured the minced meat soup into the bean dregs and stirred it evenly, getting a fragrant minced meat soup mixed with bean dregs.

The aroma of soup, minced meat and bean dregs are mixed together and stirred into a delicious-looking bean dregs puree.

Peng Xi came out to take a look and swallowed involuntarily.

Darla was even more excited and flapped her wings: "Chirp!"

Jian Mo patted it gently: "You guys stay here first, I'll go find Wu Jiong and bring Jiujiu back."

Peng Xi: "Okay!"

Jian Mo hurried out and Peng Xi watched him leave. With quick eyesight and quick hands, she pushed Darla's head and discussed with it: "Okay Darla, give me a taste first."

Darla tilted her head: "What?"

Pengxi reached out and squeezed a small ball of bean dregs. He took a bite in his hand and said, "It smells so good."

Darla glanced at him and stepped aside generously.

Peng Xi looked at the food in the basin and reluctantly said, "I'll just have a taste, and you can eat the rest."

Speaking of which, the food at Dr. Jian Mo's house is really clean and delicious, and that one is called "Jiu Jiu" The winged beast is so lucky!

Darla saw that Pengxi didn't want to eat anymore, so she "chirped" again, and she was so excited that she buried her head in the rice bowl: "Chirp, chirp, chirp!"

After eating the minced meat soup mixed with bean dregs, Darla licked it again cherishingly. On the pelvic floor.

When Jiu Jiu came back, he happened to see Dara licking the bean dregs. He immediately jumped up and turned to Jian Mo: "Chiu Jiu Jiu -"

Jian Mo reached out and patted its butt: "Okay, don't be so stingy, we will go on a long trip later." , Dara has to eat enough to be strong."

Chiujiujiu said: "Chiujiujiu!"

Jian Mo: "Your food is still in the kitchen, and I have prepared a large piece of meat for you today."

Jiu Jiu: "Ziu Jiu Jiu!"

Seeing that Jiu Jiu was really a little angry, Jian Mo quickly brought out the minced meat soup mixed with bean dregs prepared for him, and also brought out an extra pot of braised animal meat.

When Jiujiu saw the newly brought out food, he finally calmed down a little: "Chirp."

Jian Mo looked at it sideways and said, "Are you happy?"

Jiujiu said "Chirp!" and happily ate his meal.

Dara, who was watching from a distance, was extremely envious. She turned to look at her master Peng Xi.

Peng Xi looked at Chi Jiu's rice with envy on his face, even more so than Dara.

Jian Mo invited Peng Xi into the house for breakfast: "Wu Jiong is arranging things in the tribe. After breakfast, we can take the medicine and surgical instruments and set off. Let Jiu Jiu move quickly, and it won't delay too much. Something."

Peng Xi nodded repeatedly.

After breakfast, Jian Mo took stock of the medicines and equipment that might be used, met up with Wu Jiong who had returned, and prepared to go to the Tianning tribe.

Peng Xi flew in front on Dara, and Jian Mo and Wu Jiong rode on Jiu Jiu behind, flying all the way to the Tianning tribe.

In a hurry today, the two flying winged beasts flew very fast.

Jian Mo was a little worried that Jiujiu was tired, but later he found out that Jiujiu was carrying him and Wu Jiong and could keep up with him the whole time, and even had some energy left, so he felt a little more relaxed.

Jiu Jiu is a strong and strong Jiu Jiu.

With the efforts of the two winged beasts, Jian Mo and the others successfully arrived at the Tianning tribe before the sun went down in the afternoon.

Seeing them coming back, Peng Xi's father Huan Yu came up with people to greet them.

Jian Mo knew them, and asked when they met: "Has Shan Yan given birth?"

Huan Yu replied: "Not yet, just waiting."

Jian Mo breathed a sigh of relief, and then he was able to focus on other things.

They are all tribes from the same area. The Tianning tribe is a bit similar to the Mengshui tribe. There are decorative lines around the windows of the buildings, and the houses made of stone look very neat.

When Jian Mo walked among them, he could even feel the wealth rushing towards him.

The leader of the Tianning tribe is Huan Yu's partner and Peng Xi's father, a somewhat serious-looking orc.

Several parties greeted each other, and Huan Yu wanted to take Jian Mo and the others to rest and have dinner.

Jian Mo declined politely: "We'll talk about dinner later. I want to go see the mountain face first. There's no need to feed the flying-winged beast we brought. Let it rest for a while and we can cook for ourselves later."

Peng Xi was there . The person next to him said: "You are too polite, we should help feed you."

Jian Mo waved his hand to indicate that he really didn't need it, and then asked: "Where is Shanyan's family? Are they at home now?"

Huan Yu said: "I will take you Go over there."

After simply settling in Jiujiu, Jian Mo and Wu Jiong followed the people from the Tianning tribe to see their pregnant husband.

Shan Yan is waiting for them at home.

This sub-orc is tall and thin, with a handsome appearance and a gentle expression, but his belly is high and he looks a little tired.

His friend Ba Tong stayed with him every step of the way, with sharp eyes and worry on his brows.

Jian Mo's reputation had spread, and the two of them trusted him. After greeting each other, they cooperated very well with Jian Mo's inquiries and inspections.

Batong worriedly said to Jian Mo: "The fetuses of our heroic tribe will be larger than those of other tribes, but they are not that big. I suspect that Shanyan is carrying twins."

Jian Mo looked at Shanyan. Then he looked at the others: "Let's check the individual. Please let the others go out first."

Wu Jiong, as an orc, nodded to Jian Mo and took the lead to walk out.

The others hurried to follow.

Jian Mo listened carefully to Shan Yan's belly with a stethoscope, and sure enough she heard three heartbeats - Shan Yan and the two fetuses.

The heartbeats of the two fetuses overlapped a bit, which meant that Jian Mo was on the verge of transforming into a sub-orc, and his hearing was sharp enough.

After confirming, Jian Mo nodded with a heavy heart.

It is not easy to give birth to twins in this era. If you are not careful, there will be problems with both the mountain face and the fetus, and premature birth will be even worse.

Ba Tong also knew how difficult it was for the twins. Seeing Jian Mo nodding, he couldn't help but hug Shan Yan's shoulders.

Shan Yan was a little more relaxed and comforted them: "Twins are not necessarily difficult to give birth to. Whether it is our tribe or the heroic tribe, there are sub-orcs who have given birth to twins. The problem is not big."

Ba Tong responded in a low voice . Voice: "Yes."

Jian Mo said seriously: "I will try my best to help you."

Shan Yan already had secretions and looked like she was about to give birth.

Jian Mo asked to prepare a large amount of boiling water, and asked experienced orcs to come over and sit down together.

After everything was arranged, Jian Mo returned to his temporary residence.

Wu Jiong has already cooked the meal and fed Jiu Jiu.

Jian Mo finished eating and took the time to fall asleep, intending to have enough energy to deal with emergencies at any time.

Their premonition was accurate. In the middle of the night, Ba Tong and his neighbors came to knock on the door in the dark, saying that Shan Yan was about to give birth and asked Jian not to come over.

Jian Mo opened his eyes when he heard the sound and sat up from the bed.

Wu Jiong patted his back with one hand, and grabbed the clothes with the other hand and handed them to him: "I'll go out and take a look first, and I'll go with you later."

Jian Mo nodded and quickly got dressed.

Medical equipment and medicines were ready. Jian Mo picked up the medical kit and went out with Wu Jiong.

When we arrived at Shanyan's house, Shanyan's water had indeed broken and she was trying hard to give birth.

Jian Mo had a lot of experience in delivering babies to common pets such as cats and dogs, but had never delivered babies to sub-orcs.

Now that he had calmed down, Jian Mo checked on Shan Yan's situation with the sub-orcs who came to help.

Shanyan gave birth for the first time and screamed in pain.

Ba Tong walked around outside the house, and finally couldn't help but change into his animal form, and ran outside with a bang.

The birth itself takes a certain amount of time, and the doctor who delivers the baby can't do much.

Jian Mo and the sub-orc who came to help could only check Shan Yan's condition and encourage him at the same time.

"No." Shan Yan clutched the animal skin in pain and said, "I can't give birth!!!"

The Asian orc man who was helping panicked and looked at Jian Mo: "What should we do? Let Shan Yan stand up and walk around? Let's do it together. Shan Yan stood up -"

Jian Mo stopped him quickly and asked, "Is it useful to stand up and walk?"

The orc man was not sure: "Yes? In the past, if anyone couldn't give birth, they would try to stand up and walk first, and then give birth to the fetus. " Take it out."

If the sub-orcs stretch out their claws to take out the fetus, the fetus will not survive.

Shan Yan was already in a daze. When he heard the keyword, he murmured: "No, don't take it out. I can try again."

After Jian Mo checked his condition, he made a decisive decision: "No, the fetus has been stuck for too long. For you, It's a risk for both parties. How about I try using forceps?"

Jian Mo brought several forceps over this time, and they have all been sterilized.

Shan Yan asked painfully and worriedly: "Will that hurt the baby?"

Jian Mo made a judgment: "It is relatively rare to hurt the baby. The risk of using forceps is lower than what you are doing now."

Shan Yan listened . Got it, Ba Tong outside also heard it and shouted hoarsely: "Doctor Jian Mo, please ensure Shan Yan's safety first."

Shan Yan grabbed Jian Mo's hand: "No, baby, I can still hold on. " "

Jian Mo glanced at Shan Yan and said, "I'll give it a try first. "

Jian Mo had just seen it. The cub in Shan Yan's arms was in the shape of a beast. It looked a bit like a meerkat, not a pony.

Although Shanyan is in human form, the shape of meerkat is not too familiar.

He had delivered many kittens and puppies, and the fetuses that resembled little meerkats made him feel at ease.

Jian Mo broke the shape of the forceps, carefully inserted the forceps into Shan Yan's body, and after careful exploration, gently clamped the head of one of the fetuses.

Shan Yan was pregnant with twins, and the two fetuses were tightly stuck in the birth canal.

Jian Mo could only use the forceps to patiently and carefully turn the fetus, adjusting its direction gently.

Shanyan's face was twisted in pain, and he tightly grasped the animal skin with both hands. The sub-orcs who came to help quickly pressed him down.

Jian Mo, who started delivering the baby, had a steady hand, much more steady than his usual state, and he was also very calm.

"Don't be afraid." Jian Mo comforted softly, "I've got the cub securely, just turn it in another direction."

Shan Yan was in so much pain that he couldn't hear clearly.

The sub-orc who came to help was also a little scared and kept looking at Jian Mo worriedly.

Soon, Jian Mo adjusted his direction: "Come on, take a deep breath, it's okay, take another deep breath."

Shan Yan reacted for a while, then listened to Jian Mo's command to breathe, and his body was slightly more relaxed than before.

From this point of view, midwifery for sub-orcs still has advantages over midwifery for animals, as animals will not actively cooperate.

After Shan Yan relaxed again, Jian Mo seized the opportunity and used forceps to drag the fetus forward, and then the fetus was delivered with the strength of Jian Mo and Shan Yan.

The little meerkat-like cub was curled up, its eyes closed tightly, and its fur was wet.

Jian Mo quickly picked up the baby with his gloved hands, and then felt the warm breath of the baby.

Jian Mo: "One was born, and there is only one left!"

Shan Yan opened his eyes and took a look, tears streaming down the corners of his eyes.

The sub-orc who came to help also took a look at the little meerkat's butt, gently pulled the tail of the little cub to check, and said, "It's a small sub-orc."

Shan Yan's tears flowed down again.

Batong asked in a hoarse voice outside the house: "How is Shanyan? Is Shanyan okay?"

The orc man: "Still alive!"

Jian Mo checked the condition of the little meerkat, quickly cut the umbilical cord and wrapped it, and then Looking at Shan Yan: "There is still one cub left. Come on, follow my instructions and take a deep breath. You should be able to give birth to this cub on your own." Shan

Yan became a little more energetic and endured the pain to follow Jian Mo's instructions. breathe.

Twins, after giving birth to one of them, the other one did go more smoothly.

Before dawn, Shan Yan gave birth to the remaining cub.

The sub-orc who helped was once again confirmed to be a small sub-orc.

Jian Mo dealt with the situation of the cubs, asked the assisting sub-orcs to take care of the two newborn cubs, and then helped Shan Yan handle the remaining matters.

Shan Yan also had to deliver the placenta and the like.

After working hard until daybreak, Jian Mo finally finished taking care of the affairs of the father and son.

After Shan Yan gave birth, she didn't even bother to look at the two cubs and fell asleep deeply.

Jian Mo finished her business with Shan Yan and went to see the two newborn cubs.

The animal shapes of the two cubs follow the mountain face, and they do look like meerkats, but their fur is longer.

Their tails are very big, tightly held between their hind legs and pressed against their bellies, and they look so cute.

In particular, they opened their gray-blue eyes and rolled them around, neither crying nor fussing, looking very relieved.

Jian Mo felt that the cuteness of such a well-behaved baby should be taken to a new level.

Chapter 103 Popcorn:

The cubs in this world are more developed than human babies. On the second day after they were born, the two cubs that looked like meerkats were able to crawl around and stand on their hind legs. Get up and look.

Jian Mo performed a physical examination on the two little meerkats. The two little meerkats tentatively scratched his thighs with their paws and sniffed him with their little noses: "嘤嘤嘤嘤."

He gently picked up one of the little foxes. Mongoose, put it on your lap to check.

The little meerkat held its tail tightly between its legs, covering its belly, and looked at Jian Mo with its big gray-blue eyes.

Wu Jiong gently picked up another little meerkat. The other little meerkat purred, then directly grabbed Wu Jiong's hand and used his fingers to grind its teeth.

Jian Mo checked the little meerkat in his hand and said, "There is nothing wrong with this little meerkat. Everything is fine."

Wu Jiong gave the little meerkat to Jian Mo: "It's rare to see such a lively little cub."

Jian Mo raised his eyes and smiled: "Banjiu and the others are no quieter than these two cubs."

Wu Jiong: "They were very quiet when they were first born."

Speaking of which, the fertility rate of orcs and sub-orcs is not high, Jian Mo said. After Mo arrived at the riverside tribe, he had not seen any newborn cubs, nor had there been any sub-orcs pregnant with cubs.

I don't know when the riverside tribe had cubs to play with.

Jian Mo really wanted to see the feline and canine cubs.

After the inspection, Jian Mo said to Batong who was waiting aside: "The two little guys are developing very well. They don't seem to have any problems. They can just feed them normally in the future."

After saying that, Jian Mo wanted to put the little meerkats in her arms. Leave it to Batong.

The little meerkat refused and hugged his wrist with its paws: "Hey, hey, hey."

Seeing his brother like this, the little meerkat next to him also stretched out his paws to hook Jian Mo's pants and tried to crawl into his arms.

The little meerkat, which was just born, was covered in soft fetal hair and had a soft body. It looked so cute with its paws stretched out to rub against people.

Jian Mo's heart almost melted, but she still handed the little guy to Ba Tong: "You can take it back."

Ba Tong carefully picked up the two cubs, nodded and thanked: "Thank you, Doctor Jian Mo."

Jian Mo smiled: "No need. You're welcome. There's nothing going on here. We plan to go back early tomorrow morning. We've already told your clan leader. "

Ba Tong: "Why don't we stay for a few more days?"

Jian Mo shook his head: "No, our tribe is here too. If necessary, just ride Dara over to us."

Ba Tong nodded silently.

After Ba Tong left, Jian Mo packed up his things and planned to go shopping nearby with Wu Jiong.

It was his first time coming to the Tianning tribe and he had never seen many plants. If he went out for a walk, he might be able to find some interesting plants to take back.

Then, as soon as they went out, before they could go far, they saw Ba Tong walking towards them with a basket on his back.

Jian Mo was surprised: "Why are you here again?"

Ba Tong said: "Thank you for helping deliver the baby. I heard that you need to charge a consultation fee for visiting the doctor, and I don't know how much I should pay. I'll give you this basket of metal blocks and pottery. See if it's enough? If not, I'll fill it up for you."

As he said that, he handed the basket to Jian Mo and put it on the ground, leaving a mark in the mud.

Jian Mo looked down and saw that most of the baskets were filled with metal blocks. On top of the metal blocks were stacked pots, bowls, basins and other pottery.

With just a cursory glance, Jian Mo saw more than ten pieces of fine pottery, each with very exquisite patterns.

Jian Mo was shocked: "This is too much. There is no need to use so much. I'll just get a few pieces of pottery and a few metal blocks. You can take back the remaining pottery and metal blocks."

Ba Tong: "Not much. , If it weren't for you, the two cubs would definitely not have been born smoothly. You saved the lives of Shan Yan and the cubs, and also saved our family."

Jian Mo waved his hand: "No, no, no, what I did was not wrong. It's so powerful, it doesn't take that much labor, and you don't need that much reward. Besides, you still need supplies to raise your cubs. I can't accept them."

Ba Tong: "I can go hunting again and I can earn back the supplies soon.

" Mo shook his head: "It's different. I really shouldn't charge so much. Besides, if you give so many supplies, it will be difficult for subsequent patients to operate. If I charge so much, some patients may feel that they can't afford the supplies. In the end, he didn't dare to come to see a doctor."

Jian Mo's attitude was very firm, but Ba Tong gave in several times. Seeing that he really didn't need so many supplies, he had to carry the remaining metal blocks and pottery on his back.

When Batong was about to leave, Jian Mo asked: "Have you thought about the names of the two cubs?"

Batong showed a happy smile on his face: "I have thought about it. Let's call them Shanning and Bawu." , Shan Yan and I discussed it." Jian

Mo read these two names: "These two names are really nice."

Ba Tong smiled again, looking like a silly father: "Thanks to you."

He was also happy for them: "That's great. If you are free in the future, you can come to the Riverside Tribe as guests."

When they came to the Tianning Tribe this time, in addition to bringing back some pottery and metal blocks to use as medical expenses, Jian Mo and the others also exchanged Some spices and clay.

The pottery clay produced by the Tianning tribe is particularly white, delicate and heavy. No wonder they can produce such good pottery. They are really better than other tribes from the beginning of the pottery.

The two of them were not in a hurry when they returned. Jiu Jiu only flew slightly faster than usual. They did not return to the riverside tribe until evening.

The entire riverside tribe smelled of cooking smoke. Some people brought food out and ate dinner in the open space while chatting with others.

Seeing Jiujiu flying back, someone shouted from all the way: "Jian Mo, clan leader, did it go well for you when you went to the Tianning tribe to deliver their sub-orcs this time?"

Jian Mo also shouted back: "It went very well! Father and son are safe, they are still twins——"

Everyone who heard the news shouted in unison, their voices full of envy.

It's not easy to have a baby these days, let alone twins.

Qing Kuo shouted in the crowd: "Don't cook when you just come back. Come out to eat. It just so happens that my family has a lot of barbecued meat."

Min Dang also shouted: "My family also cooked a lot of barbecued meat. You can cook it evenly." "

Qing Kuo: "Let Ban Ming and the others take Jiu Jiu and feed him, and you can go out and deal with the couple."

Ban Ming was not convinced and shouted to his father: "I also want to hear that Brother Jian Mo and the others are going to Tianning this time. How is the tribe?"

Jiujiu had already carried Jian Mo and they were almost back home. Jian Mo just heard the sound from behind and shouted louder: "No, wait a moment, I'll make some noodles. I'll come out and chat with you soon -"

Jian Mo and the others had just put away their things when they got home, and before they had time to go to the kitchen to light a fire to cook, Qing Kuo simply brought the meat over to his house to help cook and chat at the same time.

This works too. Jian Mo recounted what happened in the Tianning tribe.

When they heard that Shan Yan had given birth to twins, everyone took a deep breath.

Min Dang sighed: "In the previous generation of the Mengshui tribe, there was a sub-orc who was also pregnant with twins. It was also difficult to give birth to twins, and the last one was not saved. After the cub was taken out by sharp claws, the sub-orc couldn't bear it, and because of the birth He was injured and died soon."

Zhou Fu: "I heard that he seemed to be very young when he passed away. He had just been with his partner. At that time, I heard that he was pregnant with a baby soon, and everyone was envious of him."

Min. When: "Yes, his partner left the Mengshui Tribe not long ago. He said he would go on a trip and come back when he was not so sad, but he never came back."

Another sub-orc lamented: "If his partner had stayed in the Mengshui Tribe, When you look at familiar places and people, you always think of your partner, right?"

Jian Mo concluded: "The scene makes me emotional."

After they talked for a while and praised Jian Mo's medical skills, the topic gradually spread.

Looking at Wu Jiong's kneaded noodles, Qing Kuo suddenly remembered: "The noodle grass you planted has turned yellow, and it seems ready to be harvested."

In the entire riverside tribe, only Jian Mo's family planted noodle grass, and other families planted various types of noodle grass. Stem tubers were planted on the tribe's public farmland, but they were not ready for harvest yet.

Jian Mo didn't expect it to be so fast: "Don't the noodle plants have to wait until autumn to turn yellow? Let's go and have a look tomorrow."

Qing Kuo: "I don't know, no one has ever planted this thing. Maybe it's because you planted it early, I remember You started planting when it was very cold, and using your germination techniques, the grass sprouts sprouted much earlier than the grass sprouts outside. "

This is also possible. Jian Mo nodded: "If it matures, we will. Just take the time to harvest. "

It's actually quite tiring to go out.

After hastily finishing dinner and feeding Jiujiu, Jian Mo took Wu Jiong to take a bath and went to sleep.

Early the next morning, when Jian Mo wanted to collect the fish cages, she remembered the noodle grass. She walked around the field and took a look. She saw that the noodle grass in a large field was all yellow, which was particularly highlighted by the surrounding green weeds. obvious.

He crossed the river specially to have a look in the fields.

The ears of wheatgrass are heavy and look slightly larger than the ears of wheatgrass harvested in the wild last year.

Maybe it's because the wheatgrass hasn't withered yet and has a high moisture content, or maybe because they've given enough fertilizer, the ears of wheatgrass are bigger this year.

Jian Mo reached out and grabbed a tassel, put it between his teeth and bit it.

The tassels have completely grown hard, and if you bite into them, you can taste them like uncooked rice, which means they are really mature and not because the leaves have turned yellow for some reason.

Jian Mo simply cut off a handful of ears, carried the fish in one hand and the ears in the other, and wandered home.

Wu Jiong came back from the backyard after feeding the beast of burden and saw the tassels in his hand: "The tassels seem to be growing pretty well."

Jian Mo: "I think so too, look - they're heavy."

Wu Jiong took them and looked at them . He glanced at it and said, "It is heavier than last year's ear."

Jian Mo: "Yes, although it may be because it is raw and contains more water, but being so heavy at least shows that our hard work this year was not in vain."

Wu Jiong: "It's not that busy."

Jian Mo said: "But it's still a little busy. Let the cubs help drive away insects and birds, use spring thunder eggs to make pesticides, and divert them with water and fertilize..."

He counted on his fingers. Jian Mo looked at the hard-earned tassels and said with emotion: "Who knew you had to work hard to get food on the plate?"

The two returned to the kitchen to cook, and Wu Jiong asked, "What are you going to use this tassels for?" ?"

Jian Mo cheered up: "Popcorn! Wait for me to show you some popcorn!"

Wu Jiong looked confused.

Jian Mo couldn't explain it, so he had to take out the charcoal basin used for burning charcoal in winter, clean it with water, wipe it with the weeds beside the stove, and then put the ears in.

Wu Jiong: "Then?"

Jian Mo: "Cook first, leave some charcoal fire for cooking, I will use it later."

The two of them washed and cut together, and Jian Mo quickly prepared the three dishes and one soup for the morning Made it.

After the meal was ready, Jian Mo took a big shovel and shoveled out a shovelful of ashes with sparks from the stove, and poured them directly into the charcoal basin with ears.

Then, he took a large basket over and clasped it on the charcoal basin, leaving only his hands in the basket to slowly turn the stems of the ears.

Wu Jiong squatted aside, watching him operate slowly with a mysterious smile on his face.

For a while, there was no movement in the basket.

Jian Mo was a little suspicious that the popcorn could not be made because of the wrong ears, too high water content or the wrong variety.

Logically speaking, plants such as wheat and rice can be used to make popcorn. Although the seeds of wheatgrass are smaller, it is not completely impossible to make popcorn.

Jian Mo was about to check when he suddenly heard a "bang" from the basket on his back, followed by a series of "bang bang bang".

Wu Jiong's waist immediately arched up, and he stretched out his hands to protect Jian Mo.

Jian Mo himself was startled, and he let go of his hand, letting the basket on his back make a clang and completely cover the charcoal basin.

When Jian Mo came to his senses, he was a little dumbfounded: "This is the popcorn I told you."

Wu Jiong: "It's really noisy."

Jian Mo: "Yeah, so I specially brought a basket. Just wait. Let's see how the popcorn is doing."

As he said that, Jian Mo carefully lifted the basket a little, and then saw the small, light yellow popcorn on the edge of the basket.

He quickly reached out and grabbed a handful of still-burning popcorn: "Look! It worked!"

The edges of the popcorn were a little burnt brown, with the aroma of grains, and it smelled very tempting.

Wu Jiong took one from his hand: "Eat it directly?"

Jian Mo threw one into his mouth: "Yes, just eat it and that's it."

As he chewed the popcorn, the unique aroma of the popcorn became stronger. Even if there is no syrup, the sweet taste of starch in it is very obvious. It is fragrant and sweet, a little hard, and has a good texture when chewed.

Jian Mo narrowed his eyes with a nostalgic look in his eyes: "I ate this when I was a child, but my grandparents wouldn't let me explode it for fear of breaking my eyes."

Wu Jiong: "Your little snack?"

Jian Mo: " Yes, we didn't have much to eat at that time, and we wanted to stuff our mouths with whatever food we could get."

Wu Jiong: "It should be good for the little cub to eat and play."

Jian Mo waved his hand, "It's better not to teach them. Let us adults keep it for fun, otherwise it will be bad if it breaks into the eyes."

The noodle seeds in the charcoal basin were still popping. When the sound inside stopped a little, Jian Mo gently raised it. Lift the basket slightly, grab the grass stem and rotate it so that the grass seeds fully contact the sparks.

After waiting for a while, there was no more movement from inside. Jian Mo then took the basket away, picked up a piece of firewood and pulled out the ashes, and pulled all the popped popcorn to the edge.

Jian Mo: "Some are a little burnt, but they should be delicious."

Wu Jiong: "Bring some for Jiujiu to try."

Jian Mo agreed: "Okay."

Before he finished speaking, Jian Mo smiled again: "This noodle The popcorn is so small that it can't fit between Jiujiu's teeth. Maybe it can't taste anything."

Wu Jiong said, "Then it has to taste the aroma."

Jian Mo laughed again.

They had breakfast and went to harvest wheatgrass with sickles.

The wheatgrass is ripe enough to have the aroma of grains, but the seeds won't fall off due to their shaking.

Both of them are good at work and can cut a large area at a time.

The cut grass is put into a pile, tied up, and transported to the other side of the river to dry.

Seeds are limited, so they don't plant much wheatgrass, just a large field.

However, the cut grass exceeded their imagination. When dried in bundles, there were more wild vegetables than they had collected in half a month.

The free people from the tribe came over to help. Seeing this scene, they couldn't help but sigh: "It's really cost-effective to grow this noodle grass."

Jian Mo slapped his sore waist, looked at the noodle grass and said, "It's really cost-effective. , the seeds grown are also large. Let's study it and if it can be planted in the second half of the year, we will plant another crop."

Flour is so precious. If you grow more of it, there should be no shortage of flour for the New Year this year.

In fact, there are not enough seeds. If there were enough seeds, Jian Mo could not wait to plant them all over the river.

There is so much land by the river, and there are many people who can help. If there are enough seeds, they can harvest a large area of ​​each kind, and then they can eat pasta all year round, without eating various stems.

Some stem pieces taste good, but it has to be said that some stem pieces are just too unpalatable.

Not only is it unpalatable, it is not easy to digest. Eating too much will make your stomach sour. If Jian Mo had a choice, she would never want to eat more of this stuff.

Chapter 104

After the sunburned noodle grass was dried, Jian Mo used it to crush and thresh it.

All the free orcs and sub-orcs in the tribe came to help. He originally thought he would be busy for several days, but with the help of everyone, he was able to finish it in just half a day.

The comparison between the sun-dried and de-grained wheatgrass seeds is more obvious than the wheatgrass seeds collected in the wild last year.

This batch of noodle seeds is fuller, the surface is smoother and oilier, and the noodle aroma and starch sweetness are more abundant. This may be because they collected the noodle in time when it matured, or it may be because they have sufficient fertilizer and water sources. , this year's noodle grass is growing better.

Jian Mo took the paper and folded it into a triangular package, then wrapped a small handful of noodles inside. After thinking about it, he wrote "The first batch of noodles in the second year" on the outside of the package, and then received it in the box upstairs. Retain.

He also wants to plant another batch of noodle grass, but noodle grass also has a dormant period, so he has to wait for a while before planting it.

They didn't do much research during this dormant period. He planned to try to induce the first buds in half a month.

If germination is unsuccessful, try a second germination after one month.

Jian Mo had been busy with flour-related matters for several days. After finally harvesting and drying the wheat flour, and grinding out another batch of flour, he finally took a break.

In the morning, Jian Mo ate breakfast and slowly told Wu Jiong her plan: "I haven't picked berries for a long time. I heard from Qing Kuo and the others that the berries outside are ripe. How about we go pick berries today? And pick some wild vegetable sprouts. Come back and see if you can pick some mushrooms. I haven't eaten fresh mushrooms for a long time..."

Halfway through, Jian Mo looked up and saw Wu Jiong looking at him intently, and couldn't help but reach out and touch his face: "What's wrong with my face? Is there anything on the bed?"

Wu Jiong: "No, I just want to ask you. I'm very tired recently. Do you want to relax?"

Jian Mo was surprised: "Relax at home?"

Wu Jiong: "It's hot now, and the lake is outside. It's calmed down. In the past, people would go swimming in the lake. If you want to go, I'll take you there. "

Go swimming outside." Jian Mo blinked, knowing that she had just thought wrong.

Swimming is also good. Jian Mo said: "Which lake?"

Wu Jiong: "Any lake is fine. If it's not too far for you, we will go to Baishazhou."

Jian Mo remembered it as soon as Wu Jiong said it.

Baishazhou is at the junction of their Riverside Tribe and Yigu Tribe, quite far away from both tribes. He used to go there with Ban Ming to pick up violent bird eggs.

There should be no one there now.

Jian Mo became interested: "Then go to Baishazhou, will you carry me?"

Wu Jiong: "Do you want to call anyone else?"

Jian Mo waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, no, just the two of us, we will bring you next time Others and tweets. "

We were going out to play today. After breakfast, Jian Mo specially took some dry leaves and packed some snacks such as dried meat, and urged Wu Jiong to set off.

They don't have to move with the tribe and can set off at any time.

Jian Mo was riding on the back of the giant wolf.

The giant wolf started running through the mountains and forests. The big white clouds in summer were floating in the blue sky. The giant green trees were left behind them. The whistling wind blew over and ruffled Jian Mo's half-length hair.

Jian Mo felt very happy in his heart. He hugged the giant wolf's neck tightly and looked forward with squinted eyes.

The giant wolf ran all the way and arrived near Baishazhou.

They came out of the forest and Jian Mo suddenly saw the big lake in front of them.

The water in the lake is fuller than in spring, and the color is a beautiful blue-green. Compared with the white sand on the shore, it looks more peaceful and beautiful.

Jian Mo asked excitedly: "How do we get down? Is there an undercurrent in the water inside?"

A smile flashed in the giant wolf's eyes, and he suddenly ran and jumped into the lake with Jian Mo.

Jian Mo shouted "Ah——", feeling excited and stimulated.

The giant wolf paddled a few times and took Jian Mo away from the lake shore.

Sitting on him, Jian Mo felt no different from sitting on a huge ship.

No, it's much more fun than taking a boat!

Jian Mo rubbed his cheek against the giant wolf's neck excitedly, stood up from his back, hugged his head, bit his ear with an "ah-oh" sound, and rested his chin on the top of his head: " Why are you so elegant even when you're dog-pawing?"

The giant wolf turned his head, his beautiful eyes full of smiles.

Jian Mo couldn't help but kissed his mouth again: "So handsome! I want to go swimming too!"

Giant Wolf: "Okay. Swim near me and don't sink into the water."

Jian Mo: "Okay. Hey, look at me!"

Jian Mo jumped into the water, causing a large splash.

The large lake is very calm and only ripples appear when the wind blows.

However, the temperature of the water surface was quite different from the temperature in the water. Jian Mo felt that the water on her chest was warm, while the water under her feet was cold.

He looked down and saw that the water in the lake was so deep and dark that he couldn't see the bottom at all.

His heart was so frightened that he quickly raised his head and looked ahead.

This kind of calm lake was quite comfortable to swim in. Jian Mo swam a few laps and lay on his back on the lake to bask in the sun.

The lake water was blown by the wind and slowly lapped towards the shore, making a splashing sound that was very hypnotic.

While he was lying down, he stepped on the giant wolf's body with his feet. He could swim a long distance with just one step.

The giant wolf kept swimming with him, staring at him.

Jian Mo felt peaceful and safe.

The water waves were swaying gently, and he was embraced by the water waves and basked in the sun. Turning his head, he could see the tiny light reflected by the waves hitting the shore at one corner of the lake. Turning to the other side, he could see a huge and handsome white wolf. Looking at him.

So comfortable.

Jian Mo lay down for a while, swam for a while, and played with the giant wolf for a while.

The wet clothes felt uncomfortable sticking to his body at the back, so he simply threw all his clothes on the shore to dry in the sun and just swam.

After playing for a long time, she was tired. Jian Mo crawled ashore softly, put on her dry clothes, and went to the forest with Wu Jiong to touch two violent birds - this year's chicks had already left their nests, so there was no need for them. If you are concerned about their reproduction, you can take them back and eat them.

They were not in a hurry when they went back. They walked around in the forest and picked all the berries, wild vegetables and mushrooms that Jian Mo wanted, and then went back slowly.

Jian Mo fell asleep on the back of the giant wolf and actually fell asleep halfway. When he was woken up when he got home, he still felt like he didn't know what night it was.

Jian Mo wiped his face. Fortunately, he didn't drool today: "It's so relaxing. I'm almost sleepy."

Wu Jiong was carrying the basket on his back and suddenly reached out to grab his wrist: "Why are your arms red?"

Jian Mo looked down . He rolled his eyes and said, "Maybe it's from the sun."

After staying here for too long, Jian Mo had forgotten to wear sunscreen. Looking at his two red arms and then his legs, he felt a vague pain and felt something in his heart. I had a bad feeling, but I still comforted Wu Jiong: "It's okay, I'll be fine again tomorrow."

Wu Jiong frowned: "I'll go pick some medicine for you later and lick it."

Jian Mo: "Okay."

When he first got home, Jian Mo didn't feel much about the sunburn, so he waited a little longer After a while, his reddened area began to hurt.

The pain is getting worse and worse, as if it is not a sunburn, but a burn. You can feel that the skin is hot when you reach out and touch it.

When Wu Jiong came back from collecting herbs, he saw that his skin was getting redder and redder, and he turned into a giant wolf and licked him.

Jian Mo didn't refuse. He lay limply in the yard. If he had known that the sun was so strong now, he would have put some mud on his body to protect himself from the sun.

The giant wolf licked his bare hands and legs. After being licked, Jian Mo felt a little better, as if he had been wiped by a large ice pack.

The wolf's licks were supposed to soothe common sunburns and wounds, which was how they treated wounds in the absence of medicine.

Jian Mo understands them well and accepts this method well.

Just when Jian Mo was licked to sleep, there was a sudden tapping sound on the fence.

He was startled and quickly pushed the giant wolf's head away, sitting upright and looking outside.

The giant wolf narrowed his eyes unhappily and turned his head to look outside.

Qing Kuo and Ye Luo came in carrying baskets on their backs. Seeing this, Qing Kuo showed the baskets in his hands: "We are here to deliver herbs."

The giant wolf explained to Jian Mo: "There are not many herbs by the river. I asked them to Help me pick some."

Jian Mo nodded.

Ye Luo asked smoothly, "Jian Mo, why are your face so red and sunburned?"

A mysterious smile appeared on Qing Kuo's face.

Jian Mo coughed lightly: "I'm going to wash my hands and feet and prepare to apply herbal medicine."

Jian Mo went to the kitchen to scoop out water and washed his hands and feet, feeling calmer.

Wu Jiong had returned to his human form and was chatting with Qing Kuo and Ye Luo. When he saw Jian Mo coming out, Wu Jiong waved.

Jian Mo walked over and took a look at the herbs they had collected, and found that they were unfamiliar herbs: "What kind of grass is this?"

Qing Kuo: "Civet Tail Grass, legend has it that we, the Civet Cat Clan, discovered it. It has some beautifying effects. It's cool on the skin, just right for your sunburn."

Jian Mo: "That's great."

Wu Jiong crushed the clean herbs and applied it to Jian Mo's sunburn. I felt a chill that instantly relieved the burning pain.

He looked at the herbal paste on his arm in surprise: "This is really useful!"

Qing Kuo: "That is, it is most useful for treating wounds without broken skin, and it is most effective for sunburns and insect bites."

Jian Mo: "Comfortable Thank you."

Qing Kuo: "You're welcome. There is such a herb by the river anyway, so it's not a big deal. Where did you collect it today?"

Jian Mo said awkwardly, "We went to Baishazhou. Swim over there."

A mysterious smile appeared on Qing Kuo's face again. Jian Mo wanted to say it was not what you thought, but he didn't have much confidence, so he had to keep silent.

Ye Luo also noticed it and looked at them funny.

Qing Kuo and Ye Luo quickly said goodbye and went back.

Jian Mo changed the herbs again at night, wrapped them in cloth, and applied them on his arms and legs.

Because of these herbs, he slept well at night, and when he woke up the next day, the red marks on his body were almost gone.

This kind of civet tail grass is so useful. After seeing them withering in the basket, Jian Mo couldn't help but said with pity: "Such a good herb -"

Wu Jiong came over and took a look: "This herb has a lot of juice, and withering It's very fast. I'll go to the river to look for it after breakfast." Jian Mo said,

"Let's use these herbs first. I'll see if I can find new ones when I come back in the evening."

After a while, I found out all the civet tail grass that was not so withered, pounded it with stones, and applied it to my arms and legs.

After applying it, there was still a pile of it in the stone pot, so it was a pity to waste it.

Jian Mo grabbed a handful and didn't know what to do with it in his hand.

The green concoction flowed out and dripped on the ground along the back of his hand. He had an idea: "Has it been a long time since you made soap at home? Do you still have it?"

Wu Jiong: "Also, do you want to make soap?"

Jian Mo: "Try making a few pieces of medicated soap. Bring the filter cloth over, and I'll squeeze out the medicine first."

Their house has a lot of fabrics, so Jian Mo specially put a few pieces of off-white cloth in the kitchen as filter cloths, and occasionally I can also steam buns and the like.

Wu Jiong quickly found a few pieces of filter cloth, and then squeezed out a large pot of medicinal juice.

Jian Mo didn't expect there to be so much concoction and was shocked.

The materials at home were all ready-made. They melted the alkaline water and burned the animal oil. Then they mixed the alkaline water, concoction and animal oil together and stirred vigorously.

The saponification reaction happened quickly, and soon they had a basin of light green soap, which looked good and smelled good.

Jian Mo was pleasantly surprised: "It's a great success. This batch of medicated soap should be good."

Wu Jiong found the soap mold, poured the soap paste into it, and smoothed it with wood chips: "We will know whether it is successful or not when we come back in the evening."

Jian Mo: "It should work. I don't think there's anything strange inside."

They put the wooden boxes containing the soap in a cool place to wait for solidification before going out.

When she came back in the evening, Jian Mo looked at the soap again, and sure enough, it had almost solidified.

The soap paste turned into light green soap bars, exuding a medicinal fragrance.

After taking some soap to wash her hands, Jian Mo discovered that the concoction did not affect the cleaning power of the soap, but the soap would slightly affect the effect of the concoction.

But it doesn't matter, it's also great to use as a specialty soap.

He is almost tired of using ordinary soap. In summer, using a refreshing soap will be more comfortable. It can also repel insects and is very cost-effective.

Wu Jiong looked at the soap and thought it was good.

But this soap couldn't be used seriously as medicine, so he went to the river and cut a large basket of civet tail grass and brought it back and applied it to Jian Mo.

Maybe it's because his physical fitness has improved after coming here, or maybe the civet tail grass is really useful.

When he woke up again, Jian Mo's arms and legs were white again, there were no red marks or pain, and the traces of sunburn had completely disappeared.

Jian Mo couldn't bear to waste the remaining half of the basket of civet tail grass, so she simply squeezed out the concoction, concentrated it in an oil-free and water-free earthenware pot, and added light-flavored animal oil to stir it to make medicinal oil.

The medicated oil is refreshing and cool. It comes in a small jar and is very convenient to use.

Jian Mo saw that he couldn't use up all the food at home, so he gave Qing Kuo and others a can each.

When delivering it, Jian Mo specially emphasized: "This is medicinal oil used to treat insect bites and redness and swelling. It cannot be used on other places, otherwise it may cause discomfort."

Everyone understood.

Qing Kuo said funny: "We usually don't try weird things."

Jian Mo said seriously: "That would be the best."

Min Dang sniffed the medicinal oil: "It smells delicious. I like the smell of this herbal medicine."

Jian Mo: "I originally wanted to make an ointment, but the temperature in summer is too high and the medicinal oil cannot solidify. I also found If we don't have other materials, we have to forget it."

Qing Kuo: "Ointment?"

Jian Mo thought for a while and described: "We have a waxy material over there that seems to make the oil change. Cream."

Jian Mo carefully described the texture of the wax, comparing it to beeswax.

Unfortunately, there are no bees here, and the green velvet nest found previously has nothing to do with beeswax.

When Jian Mo said this, everyone agreed to help him keep an eye on this kind of wax.

Jian Mo thought for a while: "It would be best if we could find it. In fact, it doesn't matter whether it's ointment or medicated oil, but in winter, we use wax to make lipstick, which should be better than lipstick made of medicated oil."

Last year . They didn't make lipstick, just lip oil.

Lip oils are less effective and you have to keep reapplying them when using them.

Most people don't have the patience, so almost everyone's lips get chapped during winter, especially cubs.

When it hurts, everyone will use medicated oil to remedy it, but it is of little use.

The productivity here is not developed, so everyone always endures some minor problems. It is not life-threatening, but it is just a little uncomfortable and inconvenient.

After Jian Mo finished speaking, everyone more seriously promised to help him find it.

Qing Kuo said: "This medicated soap and oil are very easy to use. Can we make a batch and exchange them for other tribes?"

Jian Mo: "Of course. The smell of civet tail grass is very obvious. If you want to exchange it, it is best to It's better to add some other ingredients together, otherwise other tribes can quickly guess what these medicated soaps and oils are made of. "

Other tribes still don't know how their soaps are made, after all, water and medicated oil are used. It is impossible for anyone to guess that oil will produce saponification reaction based on life experience.

Medicinal oil is much easier to guess, especially for big medicinal oil merchants like the Mengshui Tribe, who can guess it really quickly.

Qing Kuo smiled: "Then let's find some scented materials. Can we use flowers?"

Jian Mo's heart moved: "Flowers are okay, and so are berries. We can soak the skins of flowers or berries in oil and take them out. Fragrance."

Qing Kuo: "Can it be like this?"

Jian Mo: "Theoretically, it's possible, but I haven't tried it. You can see that the soap actually uses a lot of animal oil, and the smell of the concoction is not the same. Nothing has changed."

Qing Kuo thought for a moment: "In this case, we just need to choose some flowers that smell good. The red bird branches are blooming well recently. Do you want to go pick red bird branches with us? "

Jian Mo has never heard of this kind of flower: "Have we never picked it before?"

Qing Kuo: "Yeah, this flower is inedible and not very pretty. Everyone passing by doesn't even look at it, and they don't tell you. Yes. If you just want the fragrance, the red bird branches are good."

Ye Luo added, "The red bird branches can also be dyed and won't fall off for a long time. It's too obvious."

Jian Mo said immediately: "That's it, let's go take a look."

There is a jar of high-alcohol liquor upstairs in Jian Mo's house. If soaking it in oil has no effect, he can also try to extract it with alcohol.

It's just that the cost of obtaining alcohol is too high. At that time, we have to weigh whether it is worthwhile.

Forget it if it's not cost-effective.

Everyone talked to each other and soon came up with a plan to pick red bird branches.

Qingkuo said: "It happens that every tribe has a lot of food this season, let's bring back some delicious food."

Every tribe has specialties, although sometimes they are just berries, stems and the like, which are not of high value, but they make Medicated soap and oil are not very troublesome, and it would be great if you can replace them to improve your life.

Jian Mo was also looking forward to it: "Let's exchange for more berries. If you can't eat them all, make some preserved fruits. We haven't had time to make preserved fruits this year."

Qing Kuo agreed: "When the time comes, I'll exchange for berries first, and then other supplies. "

Chapter 105:

The branches of the insect wax cardinal branches are so thin that almost no leaves can be seen. All the branches have slender red flowers the size of date pits.

Jian Mo broke off a branch and put it under her nose and smelled it. The fragrance came to her nostrils. It was a bit like the fragrance of plum blossoms, but it was cleaner than the fragrance of plum blossoms.

Jian Mo didn't expect the fragrance of red bird branches to be like this, and said in amazement: "It smells very good."

Qing Kuo, who was stroking the buds of red bird branches at the side, said: "The smell is good. Sometimes we pick them home and plant them. Vase. But it withers very quickly, and the place where it grows is quite far away from our tribe. We usually don't come here specially, but we just pick some back when we come here."

Jian Mo pinched the buds and felt that they were very tender and light . It turns into mud with just a few rubs, and it does look like it will wither quickly.

Sure enough, nothing is perfect.

Qingkuo and the others were all sub-orcs with rich collecting experience. They alternated their hands quickly and stroked one branch after another of flowers.

The flowers fell lightly into the basket on my back, which became increasingly full.

Jian Mo's speed was slightly slower because there were many red bird branches, and the final harvest was not bad.

They quickly gathered the cardinal branches and took them home to prepare for dipping.

It was the first time for Jian Mo to soak essential oil, and he didn't know how to operate it. He could only use the stupidest method to put the flowers into the oil, and then heat the oil.

They did not dare to raise the temperature of the oil too high for fear of destroying the aroma inside, so they kept cooking it slowly over low heat.

Batch after batch of cardinal flowers are put into the oil. The oil in the pottery pot becomes redder and redder, and the fragrance becomes stronger and stronger.

The red bird twigs are not poisonous. Chiujiu waited aside and ate the fried red bird twigs.

Seeing that it was eating well, Jian Mo mixed some spice powder with it and kneaded it into a ball for him to eat.

Zhou Fu looked at it and couldn't help but order one. After tasting it, he said to Jian Mo: "It's quite delicious. Although it has a bit of astringency, the fragrance of flowers is very strong."

The cubs who were watching on the side endured it. Unable to hold on

any longer: "Brother Jian Mo, we want it too." Hefengqing hummed and patted Jiujiu's thigh: "Stinky Jiujiu, you are not loyal and don't remind us if there is something delicious."

Jiujiu winked. , with an innocent face: "Chirp!"

Seeing them like this, Jian Mo had no choice but to give a portion of the filtered flower balls to the little ones: "Eat less, and I will fry the vegetable balls for you later.

" The kids cheered and asked for help: "Brother Jian Mo, what do you want us to do?"

Jian Mo: "Take Jiujiu out to play, don't get in the way here."

The adults all laughed after hearing this.

Qing Kuo looked at Jian Mo and said with a smile: "I thought you weren't bothered by the chirping of the cubs, but it turns out you are too."

The flower scent of red bird branches is relatively strong, the color is beautiful, and the medicated soap and oil produced are very good.

Especially medicated soap, once it is installed in a patterned mold and then demolded, the finished product will be very delicate and beautiful.

Jian Mo and the orcs in the tribe took them to the Mengshui tribe to exchange for things.

Their medicated soap was indeed very popular, and the replacement of berry cloth and the like went smoothly.

But medicated oil -

Yun Lun said with a smile: "Your medicated oil is not as good as our medicated oil. In addition to reducing swelling and itching, our medicated oil can also prevent and repel insects."

As he said this, Yun Lun made people laugh. I took the medicated oil in a clay pot and showed it to them.

The medicinal oil of the Mengshui tribe is dark and smells pungent, almost fragrant but not fragrant, and smelly but not smelly. When you apply it with your fingers, you will feel a strong cooling feeling, and then the fragrance will waft out.

Jian Mo applied it to the area accidentally bitten by an insect, and it was no longer painful or itchy.

It does look better than their Civet Tail Herbal Oil.

Jian Mo sniffed, and her nose hurt from the strong smell, as if her fragile nasal mucosa had been punched by someone, and she couldn't smell the ingredients inside at all.

Yun Rong said, "This is our unique medicinal oil. Do not apply it to fragile areas."

Jian Mo nodded.

Qing Kuo was surprised: "You didn't have this medicinal oil before, and I didn't see you promoting such a good thing."

Yun Rong: "It's new this year. I just wanted to go to your tribe to ask if you want it, and you guys came over. How is it? Do you want to change it?"

Jian Mo thought for a while: "Can I change the formula?"

Yun Nong smiled: "The formula is fine, if you want to use the soap formula, I will change it with you."

Jian Mo weighed it in his mind . : "That's forget it."

Yun Rong: "Then change the medicinal oil. We'll exchange the medicinal oil for your soap."

So, Jian Mo and the others didn't exchange much of the medicinal oil, but they also came back with the medicinal oil from the Mengshui tribe. .

It's already summer, and the weather is getting hotter. Every evening, the flying insects above our heads are chasing people like dark clouds.

Although most bugs don't bite, they can be annoying when hanging around people, and sometimes they can bump into people's eyes and nostrils.

It's different when you apply the medicated oil from the Mengshui tribe. The flying insects seem to have encountered their natural enemies and stay away from them.

It was the first time for Jian Mo and the others to change the medicinal oil from the Mengshui tribe. They were not sure of the effect before, so they didn't change much in total.

Everyone was shocked when they saw this.

Qing Kuo stared at the flying insects above his head: "Good guy, where did they get the formula? The effect is so good."

Ye Luo: "I don't know if they prepared it themselves or if they got it from another tribe. "

Qing Kuo: "It feels like it should be from another tribe. The Mengshui tribe has received a lot of people these days, but no matter how you change it, the ingredients should be something that is in their tribe."

Qing Kuo said again. Try sniffing the medicated oil.

The smell of the medicinal oil was strong and complex. He smelled it several times, but couldn't smell anything. He turned his head and sneezed wildly.

Ye Luo: "They should have the same idea as us. In order to cover up the active ingredients in the medicinal oil, they added a lot of spices to it."

Qing Kuo rubbed his nose: "It's so treacherous."

Jian Mo said funny: "We also Just as treacherous."

Qing Kuo: "We have to be a little more treacherous, otherwise our details will be exposed by the Mengshui tribe and we won't be able to guess anything about them."

Qing Kuo muttered again: "Forget it . We can't guess the ingredients in their medicinal oil, and they can't guess how our soap, glass, etc. are made."

Jian Mo thought the same way: "Our soap is relatively simple to make, so it should be replaced. It's not a loss."

Qing Kuo: "Yes, we will harvest a little more this winter. Last year we still harvested less, and now we are almost running out."

Everyone discussed it.

Jian Mo asked: "Do you want to go to the Mengshui tribe to change some medicated oil? I feel that their medicated oil is really useful and can be used by the cubs."

Qing Kuo sighed: "Just change it, the skills are not as good as Man, there's no way."

Jian Mo was not amused and didn't pay much attention to it. Each tribe had its own goodies. It was normal for the Mengshui tribe to have some special tricks to beat the crowd.

In the evening of this day, most people in the tribe returned from hunting or gathering, and today's harvest had been distributed.

Qing Kuo and Ye Luo came back in a hurry.

Qing Kuo glanced at the open space and saw that Jian Mo did not come out to cool off. Instead, Ban Ming and A Hu were fooling around in their animal forms.

The two big cats stood up on their hind legs, waving their front paws rapidly, both using cat punches on each other.

They beat him "ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

The people around watched the excitement with relish and cheered for both sides.

When Qing Kuo saw this, he immediately felt a headache.

When the big cat Banming saw his father coming, he felt guilty and quickly ran away with his tail between his legs, trying to escape.

Ahu also played with him. Seeing him like this, he quickly chased after him.

Qing Kuo's anger sank into his Dantian: "You guys are running away! I saw it all!"

Ban Ming said "Ouch" and ran faster.

Qing Kuo shouted from behind: "Don't just run around, drop by Jian Mo's house and help me call Jian Mo over!"

Ban Ming quickly changed direction and ran to Jian Mo's house with his feet slipping to pass the news.

Jian Mo was preparing dinner. Hearing this, he put down his kitchen knife and asked, "What did your father ask me to do?"

Ban Ming said, "I don't know. Brother Jian Mo, please go there."

Okay, it won't take much time anyway.

Jian Mo simply tidied up the kitchen, took off her apron and went to the open space.

Qing Kuo and the others were still waiting in the open space. When they saw Jian Mo, Qing Kuo said with some pride: "I brought you something good. Guess what it is?"

Jian Mo: "I really can't guess that. Berries?"

Jian Mo likes berries very much these days and usually guesses in this direction.

Qing Kuo simply said: "It's not food."

If it's not food, what else could it be? Jian Mo walked over: "Wood? Insect nest? Show me quickly, I can't guess it."

Qing Kuo took out a yellow-brown hard object from the basket on his back.

Jian Mo took a closer look and felt that it looked like a salt block, a bit like a sugar block, and some kind of mineral material.

Jian Mo walked over to pick it up. The hard object was heavy and cold in his hand. It was indeed a bit like a stone, but it didn't feel like a stone.

He wanted to put it under his nose and smell it.

With this shaking, crumbs fell off the hard piece, and he rubbed it -

wait!

This feels!

Jian Mo rubbed the crumbs and then picked out the hard pieces. Sure enough, he dug out larger crumbs, which were easily glued to the previous crumbs.

Jian Mo's eyes widened: "Oh my god, isn't this the beeswax I mentioned before?"

Qing Kuo smiled: "What are you looking for, and you still ask me?"

Jian Mo put it under his nose and smelled it. I didn't smell any special smell, so I rubbed it again: "It really seems like it. I've never seen pure natural beeswax. It feels like it should be. Wait a minute, I'll go home and light a fire to melt it."

Others came up to watch. , seeing Jian Mo being so excited, he also touched and picked at it.

Someone asked: "What is this used for?"

Jian Mo: "It's very useful! Wait, I'll go see if it's what I'm looking for first."

Qing Kuo followed him: "Go ahead, But it should be what you are looking for. It is also secreted by a kind of insect. "

Jian Mo: "If you say that, it is really possible."

Jian Mo took them home and found a clean pottery. After the pot came out, he directly built a fire with stones in the yard, put the pottery pot on it, and then cut off a hard block with a dagger.

The cutting process went quite smoothly, and everything came out easily.

This made Jian Mo even more convinced that what Qing Kuo brought back was just a piece of beeswax, no, insect wax!

The insect wax quickly melts into liquid in the pottery pot, and when you lift it up with a wooden stick, it quickly solidifies.

Jian Mo recalled the candles she played with when the power went out when she was a child. The touch was exactly the same.

It was definitely wax, he couldn't be mistaken.

Jian Mo sighed: "It's not easy. This is what I'm looking for. Where did you find it?"

Qing Kuo: "It's not a few tribes near us."

Jian Moqi said: "Then how did you find it? "

Qing Kuo said lightly: "I asked the orcs from other tribes to help me find it, and then asked the orcs from other tribes to ask, and finally asked."

Jian Mo: " So, which tribe's specialty is this?"

Qingkuo: "Next to the Jintuo tribe, there is something produced by the Yangyao tribe. They are mostly feline orcs and sub-orcs. I heard that we also have feline orcs here. Ya-orc, just agree to exchange the things."

Jian Mo sighed: "That's not easy."

Qing Kuo: "Who said otherwise? I heard that you are the most powerful among all the tribes nearby. "I'm a witch doctor, so I'm selling you some face."

Jian Mo touched his face and said, "It's worth it."

Jian Mo finally got the insect wax, so he decided to use it no matter what.

Jian Mo: "Just tonight, let me see if I can make a lip balm?"

Qing Kuo: "Are you talking about a lip balm made from animal oil and insect wax?"

Jian Mo added: "It also needs to be moisturized. Don't we have red bird branch oil for the concoction? Let's add that too."

Making lipstick is considered a secret of their tribe, so Jian Mo only invited Qing Kuo and a few others.

They were making lipstick in the yard. Because they were smeared with medicinal oil exchanged from the Mengshui tribe, no insects bit them, and the wind in the yard made them feel more comfortable.

Don't melt insect wax in an oil-free and water-free earthenware pot.

He was afraid that he wouldn't be able to do it successfully the first time, so he only melted a third of it.

There were some impurities in the melted insect wax. I originally wanted to filter it, but after struggling a few times, I found that it was impossible to filter it, so I had to use chopsticks to pick out the impurities little by little.

It's probably just passable.

Jian Mo made it in small quantities many times, and finally found that the success rate was not affected by any oil in the lip balm, only the proportion of wax.

The most successful lip balm is about one-fifth wax and four-fifths oil.

The first batch of fifty-two boxes of lip balm were laid out in rows.

This light red paste looks very cute. If you gently put it under your nose and smell it, you can smell a delicate fragrance.

After getting Jian Mo's consent, Zhou Fu couldn't wait to pick up a box, took out a small piece and wiped it on his lips.

After applying it, he took a sip and said in surprise: "It smells so good and moisturizing!"

Everyone looked at his slightly reddish oily lips, and Qing Kuo said: "The red ones look good too."

Zhou Fu: "Then Can I add some red clay or something to it to make it redder?"

Jian Mo waved his hand: "It's not necessary. If you want to make your lips redder, you can also apply red clay directly on your lips. I feel that applying red clay is not safe." Jian Mo

didn't know what the ingredients of red clay were. I saw that they had used it at the Festival of All Beasts, and I guessed it was a kind of mineral soil.

Since it is mineral soil, it may be rich in metals and may be harmful to the body if eaten accidentally.

This kind of mineral soil is okay to put on your face during festivals, but it is not suitable as an ingredient in daily lip balm.

The lip balm is also used for the cubs. It contains mineral soil, as I am afraid it will be detrimental to the growth and development of the cubs.

Jian Mo explained, and everyone nodded to express their understanding.

Everyone took a box of lip balm and tried it, and they were all very satisfied with the effect of this lip balm.

They turned around and saw Jian Mo's brows furrowed.

Qing Kuo asked: "What's wrong? You don't like this lip balm? Is the wax wrong?"

Jian Mo shook his head: "It feels a little wrong with the oil. Do you think this lip balm is too oily? It sticks to your lips. Tired of it."

Everyone shook their heads, obviously not feeling that way.

Jian Mo still felt uncomfortable. He had used a very useful lip balm. That kind of lip balm was very moisturizing, applied very compliantly on the lips, and felt and smelled great.

He reached out and wiped off all the lip balm, put it under his nose and smelled it.

The newly made lip balm smells like meat oil and looks very thick.

Most lip balms on the planet should be made from vegetable oils, such as shea butter.

Qing Kuo patted him on the shoulder: "Don't be so demanding. I think this lip balm is already very useful."

Jian Mo said: "It's okay, but I took this lip balm to the Mengshui tribe to exchange it. They should also It can be reproduced quickly."

Qingkuo was unhappy: "Tsk."

Jian Mo smiled: "I just thought of the Qingchi fruit on the mountain. Is it possible to use Qingchi fruit? "

Qingchi fruit is a small shrub fruit with a packet of seeds slightly larger than sesame seeds. The seeds are very oily. You can pinch them with your fingers and crush them to get the oil. " Come.

However, there are not many seeds in this fruit. There are only five or six seeds in one fruit. Even though it is edible, no one is too lazy to pick it.

Qing Kuo: "Now is the season when Qingchi fruits are ripe."

Jian Mo: "Yeah, I'll pick some back in two days and see if I can use the oil to make lip balm."

Min Dang said from the side: "I'm free these two days. You don't need to go out with the tribe to collect. I can help you collect."

Zhou Fu was eager to give it a try: "I can also help, and there's Xi Lu."

Xi Lu nodded beside him.

Ye Luo smiled and said: "Let's go together then. I know where the Qingchi fruits grow in abundance and good. Qing Kuo is coming too?"

Qing Kuo said angrily: "You are all going, I will definitely go together."

So. , everyone agreed to go up the mountain to pick Qingchi fruits.

Wu Jiong wanted to go hunting with the people in the tribe, but he couldn't accompany them, so he had to go with a few sub-orcs.

Jian Mo and the others set out early in the morning, led by Ye Luo, and walked towards the mountain where Qingchi Fruit grew.

The fruits of this shrub are indeed numerous and dense, and they are already ripe. The fruits split open and part of the seeds are ejected, while the other part remains on the branches waiting for wild birds to eat.

They couldn't collect the ejected seeds. They could only pick the fruits from the branches, knocking them one by one against the edge of the basket on their backs, and knocking or plucking the seeds off.

The seeds were so small that they collected them from morning to morning, and from morning to noon. Everyone's hands were a little cramped.

At noon, they sat under the shade of a tree, drank water and shared the food they had brought.

Qing Kuo said, "This doesn't work, otherwise we would pick the fruits back together, dry them in the sun, grind them out with a roller, and then sift them."

Jian Mo was also very tired, and felt a little apologetic in her heart: "Thank you for your hard work, everyone."

Ye Luo patted Jian Mo on the shoulder: "What did you say? After we picked it up, we didn't use it together, so how could we let you work hard alone?"

Qing Kuo: "We have two kids at home, so they can use lip balm.

Jian Mo laughed: "Ban Ming is not a bastard anymore." Qing

Kuo said, "Isn't he the kind of bastard you said?"

Everyone laughed together.

After a brief rest, they continued working.

In the afternoon, we picked the fruits together, which made the work much easier. Everyone quickly filled the two baskets on their backs.

Carrying a backpack in front and a basket in the back, they slowly descended the mountain and returned to the tribe.

The young orcs in the tribe came back early and ran out to pick them up.

It will be much easier to handle after bringing the fruit back to the tribe.

Whether it's drying or crushing and screening, there are many people available to help.

Only four or five days later, two large baskets of dark, oily seeds were placed in front of Jian Mo.

Qing Kuo asked: "What should we do now?"

Jian Mo: "Let's press the oil first."

The tribe only eats animal oil and has no experience in pressing vegetable oil.

Jian Mo asked Wu Jiong to move out the hardwood they had stored in the cave. He dug a groove in the middle of the hardwood, and then grooved against the groove to form a "cross" shaped wooden frame.

Others asked:

"What next? What to do?"

"I also found the big dry leaves, and the rope is here."

"I have already pounded the Qingchi fruit, and some oil came out during the pounding. It doesn't matter, right? ?"

Jian Mo answered one by one: "Now send it to the kitchen to stir-fry. The big leaves and ropes will be used as spares. The oil will not be affected when pounding. The loss should not be much."

Everyone saw that Jian Mo knew what he was doing and gathered around him to go to the kitchen. Walk.

Jian Mo first fried the seeds of two large baskets of Qingchi fruits until fragrant, and then asked everyone to use large leaves to wrap the seeds into round and flat pieces like tea cakes.

After finishing the wrapping, Jian Morang lifted up the big log in the yard and stuffed the cake into the groove.

Everyone: "Then what?"

Jian Mo tried to put the big log somewhere. He looked around and saw that the yard was bare and there was no place to put it. He slapped his head and said, "Let's go to the big stone pound and put it there." The wood is placed on top, and the grease in the groove is squeezed out. "

Now everyone understood and hurriedly moved their things and rushed to the big stone pound.

The wood is placed on a large stone mortar. If the oil from the seeds flows down during the pressing process, it can just flow into the stone mortar.

Jian Mo wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "It's time to press. Just bring two heavier people and step on both ends of the wood."

Ban Ming raised his hand: "Brother Jian Mo, let's go directly Is it okay to use animal forms to suppress them?"

Jian Mo didn't realize that they were orcs. After he realized it, he said happily: "Of course, find two heavier orcs to stand at both ends."

Ban Ming: "Just us. Come on felines."

With that said, Ban Ming turned around and changed back into his animal form, and his good friend Ah Hu also turned around and tacitly changed back into his animal form.

Two big cats, one gray and one orange, jumped on the two ends of the hardwood above, and pressed down directly.

As their huge bodies pressed down, the hardwood bent and creaked, and the packet of seeds in the middle of the wood also successfully pressed out the oil.

The clear oil fell into the stone mortar drop by drop, exuding the unique fragrance of vegetable oil.

Jian Mo: "It's really possible! Well done!"

Ban Ming raised his tail and said proudly: "We feline orcs are the most flexible, right, Ah Hu?"

The big orange cat Ah Hu said seriously: "Yeah "

Everyone has been observing the oil coming out of the seeds. After they pressed it twice, no oil came out. Qing Kuo said: "Put it in a new leaf bag." Hearing this,

the two big cats jumped out of the wood. Jump up and down.

The orcs waiting nearby removed the hardwood above and put two seed packets into the groove this time.

After it was put away, two big cats, one gray and one orange, jumped on it again and used their weight to press the wood again.

This process looks quite fun.

After repeating this for two rounds, the canine orcs couldn't help but squeezed forward: "Ban Ming, Ah Hu, it's our turn."

The two big cats used their cat-cat fists at the same time to drive the canine orcs away: "Go, go, go. " , you canines are clumsy, you can't stand on such a narrow piece of wood, don't fall down."

The orcs rushed to squeeze out the oil, and the oil yield was actually pretty good in the end.

Jian Mo got a small half bucket of fragrant vegetable oil. Everyone came to smell it and they all felt good.

It is true that animal oil has the characteristics of animal oil, and vegetable oil also has the characteristics of vegetable oil. You can use different oils to make different things.

Everyone helped clean up, while Jian Mo led people back to the yard to continue making lip balm.

This time, with the same ratio of four-fifths oil and one-fifth wax, the resulting lip balm is more delicate and oily, has a better fragrance, and is more beautiful in color.

——Vegetable oil is more compatible with the fragrance and color of cardinal flowers.

After the new version of lip balm was made, Qing Kuo couldn't help but said: "Sometimes you really shouldn't be lazy."

Jian Mo looked at the remaining oil: "Save the remaining half barrel of oil for future use. Well. Such a small box of lip balm doesn't use much oil in total, so it's worth the trouble."

Jian Mo handed the oil to Qing Kuo, intending to hand it over to the tribe.

Qing Kuo waved his hand: "This time it's the oil we squeezed from the seeds we collected privately with you. You keep the oil and just share the lip balm with us."

Several Ye Luo had the same opinion.

Ye Luo said: "I learned something new again. This oil is not enough to reward you, so just keep it."

Jian Mo: "Then I'm not welcome. I'll use this vegetable oil to do something else." "

Qing Kuo said with a hearty smile: "No matter how hard you work, if you can get something good, it would be better if you can share it with us."

Jian Mo: "Don't worry, for sure."

Next, Jian Mo also made vegetable oil. version of the ointment, and tried the lubricating ointment by the way.

Ointment is okay, but lubricant is not necessary.

Qingchi fruit oil is very useful. Adding an extra dose of insect wax will not improve the experience. On the contrary, it may cause allergies.

You still have to practice to gain true knowledge.

One day, after the incident, Jian Mo was lying lazily on the bed and thinking.

Chapter 106: During the rainy season

and summer, everyone doesn't like to use lip balm.

Except for the people from the Mengshui tribe who exchanged a batch of medicated oil for Jian Mo's sake, the other lip balms were not replaced much.

Jian Mo didn't mind either. Lip balm was an indispensable item in autumn and winter. If you let the news out first, it would be popular in autumn and winter.

It just so happened that he didn't have much insect wax in his hand, so he asked someone to exchange a batch with the Yangyao tribe, and stocked it in his hand to use slowly.

The medicinal oil obtained by the Mengshui Tribe is very useful.

It has been raining in the past few days. The intermittent heavy rain has caused the river water near the tribe to rise a lot, and insects have been forced to hide in people's homes.

With the medicinal oil from the Mengshui tribe, they suffered a lot less bites.

This morning, when Jian Mo woke up, it started to rain again.

Rainwater flowed in through the half-opened window, soaking the walls and floor. The glass windows were blurred by the water vapor. He could not see anything when he looked out of the window.

He picked up the rag on the side and wiped it randomly, then opened the window and looked out.

The forests in the distant mountains are oily and dark green, and forest mist floats in the mountains.

Nearby, many giant wolves and giant cats were busy in the tribe.

Wait -

Jian Mo took a closer look and found that Wu Jiong was among them, and he seemed to be carrying something on his huge back.

The raindrops wet his hair, making his beautiful mid-length hair stick together in strands, making him look a little embarrassed.

It was too far away and Jian Mo couldn't see clearly.

He quickly put on his shoes and went downstairs, put on his hat and walked out to see if he could help.

When they reached the middle of the tribe, Jian Mo realized that they were carrying baskets of sand on their backs.

Someone was pouring the sand onto the ground and using a large wooden board to smooth it out.

Seeing Jian Mo coming over, one of the sand scrapers straightened up and shouted, "Jian Mo, why are you here?"

Jian Mo realized that the man was Qing Kuo: "You guys were spreading sand early in the morning?"

Qing Kuo: " The road was too muddy. Several people fell down yesterday, so I thought I could get some sand to pave the road while I had some time. "

Jian Mo went over to help: "It's not too late to pave the road after the rain stops."

Qing Kuo wiped his face. The water: "It hasn't rained yet this morning, and it just started raining again. But the work has already been done, so I just want to finish the work as the situation progresses. You go back first, so that you don't get wet too."

Jian Mo: " It's okay, I'm wearing a hat."

Before Jian Mo could move his hands, the giant wolf and the others came up again, carrying sand on their backs.

Several taller orcs went over to unload the sand. When they saw Wu Jiong's back, they immediately shouted: "Why are there two big fish in the basket?"

Dejiang, who looked like a giant lion but had no mane, said at the side. : "The patriarch saw Jian Mo coming, so he went down to the river to catch him."

The giant wolf said nothing, but smiled in his eyes.

One of the sub-orcs took out the fish and stuffed it into Jian Mo's hand: "While the fish is still fresh, Jian Mo, can you take it back and cook it?"

Jian Mo raised his hat and realized that the sub-orc was Mindang.

Min Dang, who was wearing a hat, pushed Jian Mo gently and asked him to go back.

Jian Mo tied the fish to a tree trunk on the side of the road: "It's raining, so the fish won't die so easily. I'd better work with everyone, finish it early, and everyone can go back to eat."

Jian Mo insisted that everyone should not hurry up . He did.

So, everyone spread the sand onto the dirt road together and scraped it smooth with wooden boards.

Although there is still water on the road after the sand is laid, it will not be muddy when you step on it, making it much more comfortable than before.

Their tribe already has cement, but to make the cement, they have to burn charcoal first, then burn the stone, and then crush and mix it. The workload is too much.

Everyone is reluctant to use cement to pave roads, and using it to build houses is already the limit for everyone.

If there is a lot of cement, it is better to exchange supplies with other tribes.

Qing Kuo said: "Take advantage of this free time to pave the entire tribe's roads. Then scatter some flower seeds on the roadside. It will be nice."

Jian Mo: "There are no flowers on the roadside ." "A tree?"

There are various trees growing in the open space of the riverside tribe. I don't know whether they are artificially planted or wild. In spring, they bloom like peach blossoms, which are very beautiful.

Qing Kuo: "It's not enough. Let's plant some more. Then we'll see if we can plant some cardinal branches, which we can use."

They worked all morning and paved a whole section of the road before going home.

When she got home, Jian Mo boiled water and took Wu Jiong to wash her hair and take a bath.

After cleaning up and putting on new, dry clothes, the two of them made breakfast.

Wu Jiong handles the fish and Jian Mo cuts the side dishes.

After the fish was killed, Jian Mo poured animal oil into the pot, added a spoonful of salt, and fried the fish over high heat.

This kind of well-maintained metal pot is basically non-stick. Jian Mo quickly fried the skin of the fish over high heat, flipped it over lightly, and then added various seasonings and fried it together.

Today's fish had two big lumps of roe, and he fried it on the side.

There were only two of them eating, and these two big fish in the morning were enough.

The fish was fried until it was dry and fragrant, and the outside was coated with the taste of salt and seasoning powder. It tasted very good.

Especially the fish roe, which has a slightly grainy texture and tastes fragrant and moist, making it extremely delicious.

Jian Mo sighed: "It would be great if there was rice. The sweet rice goes perfectly with this kind of slightly salty fish!"

Wu Jiong: "I'll go to Qing Kuo's house later and ask him to help me find out. Can I ask for any news?"

Jian Mo: "I asked before and they said no."

Wu Jiong: "Ask me again. Didn't he meet several new sub-orcs?"

Jian Mo nodded. "Then let's go and ask after dinner."

After breakfast, the two of them finished washing their clothes and tidying up their home, then wearing hats, they went to Qing Kuo's house to inquire about rice.

Qing Kuo really forgot to ask again during this period. After hearing their request, Qing Kuo said that when the weather cleared up, he would help them ask when they met with the sub-orcs from other tribes.

After asking about rice, the two stayed at Qingkuo's house to chat, and by the way, they petted the kitten Banjiu who was sleeping at home.

Kitten Banjiu has now turned into a big gray cat, which looks almost as big as a Samoyed.

It was not easy for Jian Mo to hug him. Only an orc like Wu Jiong, who was tall and had long legs, could still put him on his lap and stroke him.

The little guy grew up so fast, Jian Mo squeezed his paws, no wonder he slept so much recently.

After two rounds of tea at Qing Kuo's house, Jian Mo saw that it was almost time for lunch, so she pulled Wu Jiong to leave.

It has been raining for a long time, and every family can only eat dried vegetables and marinated meat. Jane is not embarrassed to eat at other people's houses.

The two walked home hand in hand.

While walking on the sandy path in the tribe, Jian Mo suddenly saw a reddish-brown giant beast running from a distance on the other side of the river.

At first he thought it was a member of the Red Mongolian tribe, but after taking a closer look for a while, he realized that what was running over was a giant beast that looked like a red mammoth.

——He is an orc from the Zhengchi tribe.

Jian Mo pulled Wu Jiong to a stop and asked from a distance: "What's the matter with you?"

The people from the Zhengchi tribe ran a few more steps before they realized that Jian Mo was asking about them and hurriedly replied: "I'm sick?" Come and see a doctor."

Jian Mo pointed to the location of the small clinic and motioned for them to go over there: "You go to the small house on the other side of the river!"

The people from the Zhengchi tribe responded quickly.

Jian Mo watched them turn around and run towards the small clinic, and followed Wu Jiong to the small clinic.

The orc who was patrolling today introduced a stranger to him and asked him specifically. He heard that he was a sick person so he went to patrol somewhere else.

Jian Mo knows these orcs and sub-orcs from the Zhengchi tribe.

After a few words of greeting, Jian Mo asked: "Who is sick?"

Meng Shi, the sub-orc who led the way, raised his hand: "I was caught in the rain. I have been dizzy, have a headache, and have a runny nose these past few days."

His orc companion Hebin He added: "I still have a cough."

Jian Mo asked carefully and felt that it might be a cold: "How about a scrape? You might feel better after scraping."

Jian Mo now has experience in scraping people . , I already have experience with common colds and colds.

He explained the principles and conditions of Gua Sha.

Meng Shi had been feeling extremely uncomfortable these past two days and had no objection to Jian Mo's suggestion.

Jian Mo took out the scraping pottery pieces and animal oil and planned to work.

Meng Shi turned around obediently, lay down on the small bed in the clinic, lifted up his clothes, and waited for Jian Mo to help with scraping.

Jian Mo asked the other orcs and sub-orcs to go out first and wait outside the clinic.

You can also take shelter from the rain under the eaves of the clinic. You have to lift up your clothes when doing scraping, but you still have to respect the privacy of the sub-orcs.

After giving instructions, Jian Mo turned her head. Unexpectedly, when she looked at Meng Shi on the small bed, she saw dark red bruises all over his back.

These ecchymoses were densely packed and connected directly into sheets.

Jian Mo's expression suddenly changed, and a series of things like internal bleeding, purpura, coagulation disorders, etc. flashed through his mind -

he couldn't cure these diseases!

Even on earth, if he encounters a pet suffering from these diseases, he will have to undergo a series of examinations and then take medication according to the recommendations of the guide.

When he got here, he didn't know how to deal with the lack of medical treatment.

Jian Mo's expression changed so obviously. Meng Shi lay on his side on the bed. He saw it at a glance and said in a panic: "What's wrong? Can't I treat it here?"

Jian Mo calmed down: "Don't be afraid now, I'll think about it. Method." Meng Shi

: "Ah, okay! What's wrong with me? Isn't it a cold?"

Jian Mo: "It's probably not a cold. When did these ecchymoses appear?

"Since the day before yesterday -"

Jian Mo was surprised to appear so late and encouraged Meng Shi to continue talking with her eyes.

Meng Shi: "My partner seemed to have inhaled it the day before yesterday, and then again the day before yesterday. I didn't inhale yesterday because I had a headache and a stuffy nose, so he wanted to warm me up, so he inhaled again..."

Jane Mo: "Wait a minute! The bruises covering your entire back were sucked by your partner?!"

Meng Shi: "Yes, he likes to kiss my back. Can't we kiss here? Is there really something wrong with kissing? ? I also feel a little hurt from being sucked by him."

Jian Mo: "..."

Meng Shi became even more panicked and scolded his partner in a low voice: "I can't even say it, but he just came, and it ended up like this!

" What should I do now? I'm still young and I don't want to die." Jian

Mo said weakly, "I won't die. The bruises will be gone in two days."

Meng Shisong said, "Ah?"

After careful inspection, she put down the clothes on his back: "It's okay. In your case, you probably won't be able to do scraping. Just drink two bowls of herbal medicine to clear away heat and detoxify."

After a pause, Jian Mo couldn't hold back: "Young people may still want to Be careful. It's best not to suck so many hickeys on your body. If you suck too much, something might happen."

Meng Shi quickly promised, "I won't let my partner suck it anymore."

Jian Mo said, "It won't be a problem, just don't suck too much." "Just don't put hickeys on top of each other. If there are too many hickeys, there will be hidden dangers."

Meng Shi explained: "We don't usually have that much. It's raining these days, so we have nothing to do, so we have to do that." Going out to hunt and gather is not so indulgent. In fact, after a lot of it, my butt hurts. It feels so good, but it hurts so much..."

Jian Mo couldn't bear it any longer: "Ahem, I understand, I'll give it to you. Make some medicine, you guys take a rest here, and I'll bring it back to you after I've made it."

Jian Mo ran away a little disappointed.

Damn, I'm not wearing a mask today, so it's really hard to control my facial expressions.

Wu Jiong was waiting outside. He could see it and cast a questioning look.

Jian Mo waved his hand: "Let's go, go home and boil the medicine first."

After saying that, Jian Mo said to the people of the Zhengchi tribe: "Please rest here first, I will boil the medicine and then send it to you."

Zheng Mo said . The people from the Red Tribe thanked them again and gave them a few steps, which seemed quite polite.

Jian Mo and Wu Jiong went home, and as soon as they got home, they dug out the herbs and boiled them.

Wu Jiong: "What's going on?"

Jian Mo waved his hand: "It's hard to talk about the patient's private matters."

After thinking about it, Jian Mo said again: "Suddenly I feel like it's pretty good here, free and unrestrained."

Wu Jiong came over again . A confused look.

Jian Mo smiled weakly.

It's too difficult to be a veterinarian, and it's even harder to be a veterinarian and treat orcs and sub-orcs.

Who would have thought that what looked like a large, severe bruise would turn out to be a hickey!

Chapter 107 Pearl

Mimengshi 's illness was just a false alarm, a mere cold, and was quickly cured by Jian Mo.

When the news spread, people from several nearby tribes came to Jian Mo to cure their colds. All they needed was a piece of animal meat, two bird eggs, or animal hair collected in a basket. What Jian Mo wanted was not much, but it was enough. Relieve the patient's discomfort to a great extent.

Everyone is willing to come.

After arriving, you can also chat with the people in the riverside tribe and exchange information.

Jian Mo has gained experience in helping the orcs cure colds, and has also obtained several exclusive herbal formulas.

He screened and tested it, and finally concocted a very good prescription, which could almost cure the cold.

The medicine he prepared was so good that word spread among several nearby tribes.

Originally, he did not receive many supplies, and the medicine was easy to use. Now more people are willing to come to him for medical treatment.

Jian Mo was originally not very good at treating orcs and sub-orcs. He saw more patients, accumulated more experience, obtained more secret recipes, and became more and more sophisticated in his medical skills.

It was hard to go out on a rainy day, so Jian Mo had nothing to do but germinate the noodle grass.

The dormant period of the noodle grass was shorter than he thought, and the germination was quite successful this time. In just a few days, three-inch seedlings sprouted.

He simply added the stem pieces to make malt sugar, and made another batch of nut candies.

All the nuts are collected this year. They are the freshest nuts in the mountains. After they are collected, the shells are peeled off and the bitter fruit coating is removed. Then they are stir-fried over low heat until fragrant and crushed into pieces. Then they are added to the sweet noodle candy. , made into a fragrant and crispy snack.

Not to mention other people, even the well-informed Jian Mo couldn't help but swallow his saliva when faced with such luxurious candy.

On this day, it was still raining. Jian Mo was too lazy to go out and took a nap at home.

He had just fallen asleep when someone called him outside.

Jian Mo had no choice but to get up and walk to the window to see who was coming.

The person who knocked on the door was a group of cubs, including humanoid cubs, kittens, wolves, foxes, etc., huddled together, all with their little faces raised, waiting for him to come out.

Seeing Jian Mo open the window, the cubs all raised their heads and shouted: "Brother Jian Mo——"

Jian Mo: "What's wrong?"

The cubs: "There are new orcs coming to the river, and the clan leader asked you to go over. "

It was probably someone who came to see a doctor. Jian Mo sighed at the sacrifice of his nap and said to the cubs, "I'll be there soon. Thank you for reporting."

The cubs received the response and waved happily, jumping up and down. The ground is gone.

Jian Mo put on her clothes, shoes, and hat and went out.

Before he reached the river, he saw Wu Jiong and Qing Kuo standing there talking to someone, and the person they were talking to was-a group of fat chirps?

Jian Mo suspected that he hadn't woken up, so he rubbed his eyes and looked across.

Opposite there is really a group of fat chirps, the ones that look very much like tits, but they are very big, so they are smaller than the chirps.

Wild birds are not like this. Most of the wild birds Jian Mo has seen are similar in size to birds on earth.

Is it a mount domesticated by a certain tribe?

When Jian Mo got closer, he soon realized that he was thinking too much.

Those fat chirps can talk and are chirping in orcish language at this moment. They definitely cannot be mounts.

Wait, aren't the beasts in the orc world all mammals?

The animal shape opposite Wu Jiong and the others was clearly that of a bird. Judging from its large wings and pointed beak, it had nothing to do with mammals.

Jian Mo was puzzled and surprised.

Before he could ask, the person chatting noticed him first and turned around.

"Doctor Jian Mo——" The bird-shaped orc opposite started chirping, "We are from the Baizhi tribe. We heard that you wanted rice here, so we came here with rice."

Sitting on the bird-shaped orc, The petite orcs stood up, looked at Jian Mo, and handed out a delicate basket: "Doctor Jian Mo, do you think this is the rice you want?"

Jian Mo glanced at Wu Jiong first, and Wu Jiong ordered it. Nodding, Jian Mo walked over quickly.

The sub-orcs from the Baizhi tribe smiled at Jian Mo.

These sub-orcs are all small and exquisite in appearance, with very white skin, pink lips, brown eyebrows, and relatively high facial folds, making them very good-looking.

Jian Mo responded with a friendly smile and reached out to take the basket: "Let me take a look."

Taking the heavy basket into his hand, Jian Mo saw that it contained a basket of white grains the size of corn kernels. It did look a bit like rice grains, but it was smaller than rice grains. There are too many grains of rice.

These grains are smooth and round to the touch, heavy in the hand, very textured, and look very good.

After Jian Mo checked it, he asked, "Can I try it?"

The sub-orcs from the Baizhi tribe said generously, "Yes, just try it."

Jian Mo grabbed a grain and put it between his teeth gently. One bite.

The grains are a bit hard and you can taste a slight starchy sweetness, which definitely tastes like rice.

I just don't know what will happen after it's cooked?

The people from the Baizhi tribe looked at Jian Mo expectantly: "How is it?"

Jian Mo asked her doubts: "It tastes pretty good. What does it taste like after it's cooked?"

People from the Baizhi tribe, take a look. I, I look at you, I can't describe it: "This..."

Someone suggested: "It's really hard to say. Doctor Jian Mo, why don't you try cooking it?"

Jian Mo: "How about you guys come down first? Let's chat while cooking?"

The people from the Baizhi tribe thought about it and agreed.

After cleaning up, the sub-orcs of the Baizhi tribe jumped down from the orcs, while their orcs turned their backs and transformed back into human form.

Both orcs and sub-orcs look lively and bouncing around.

It may have something to do with their relatively small size.

Jian Mo invited them to sit at home, and everyone in the Baizhi tribe agreed.

Jian Mo and Wu Jiong took them home, sat in the living room, and served tea for them to drink.

Qing Kuo and others also came to accompany the guests and inquire about the news.

After a round of tea, everyone became a little familiar.

People from the Baizhi tribe talked about the cooking method of this grain.

After listening to their opinions, Jian Mo took them into the kitchen and cooked rice the same way.

The people of the Baizhi tribe were very curious about Jian Mo's kitchen, and especially couldn't take their eyes away from their big iron pot.

Jian Mo gave a brief introduction, which aroused the people of the Baizhi tribe to marvel.

The rice in the pot was cooked quickly. It was shiny and shiny after cooking, and it looked really good.

Jian Mo put it into a bowl and tasted it with Wu Jiong and others. They could clearly taste the sweetness in the rice.

Compared with the rice on earth, there is no difference between this rice and rice except that the grains are larger.

Jian Mo had a little surprise in his eyes, but when he looked up again, he suppressed the surprise - it was difficult to do business if he was too happy.

Wu Jiong knew what he was thinking by looking at his expression. He paused and wanted to ask the Baizhi tribe about the terms of exchange.

Jian Mo quickly looked over and motioned for him to ask.

Jian Mo first asked the people of the Baizhi tribe: "What kind of plant does this kind of rice grow on?"

The people of the Baizhi tribe said one after another:

"It's just a big grass with very wide leaves and it grows tall. The leaves are very sharp."

"You can only see them in some special places, not in ordinary places."

"The rice you are talking about is the seeds of the plant. It is quite difficult to pick them one by one."

Jane . As soon as Mo heard this, he knew that the exchange price would definitely not be low.

He pondered for a moment: "Then what do you want to change? If there are too many things to change, then we can't afford it. After all, it is just a kind of food."

Jian Mo's intention to lower the price is also obvious.

After hearing this, the people from the Baizhi tribe said,

"We don't need supplies."

"If we exchange supplies, we don't have to fly all the way to your tribe."

Jian Mo was surprised: "Then what do you want to exchange?

" The people from the Zhi tribe hesitated: "Can some orcs come back with us and help beat up the orcs from the next tribe?"

Jian Mo: "???"

Qing Kuo: "???"

Lian Mo, who was waiting aside, Wu Jiong couldn't help but his pupils trembled, showing an incomprehensible expression.

Wu Jiong opened his mouth and was about to speak.

Jian Mo grabbed him and decisively rejected the people from the Baizhi tribe: "No, our riverside tribe cannot participate in the disputes of other tribes."

The people from the Baizhi tribe looked at each other: "Really not? We just want to change This one will not be exchanged for anything else."

Qing Kuo couldn't help but asked, "What's wrong with the tribe next door to you?"

The people from the Baizhi tribe said, "The tribe next door is so annoying. They keep stealing our inventory.

" It's built on a high mountain, and they're stealing it!"

Jian Mo and Wu Jiong looked at each other, suspecting that these guys were trying to dig out the Honey Bird's nest.

Jian Mo wiped the sweat from his forehead and didn't dare to say anything.

Qingkuo wondered: "Where is your tribe? Are there any tribes bullying other tribes nearby?"

People from the Baizhi tribe asked: "Have you heard of the Yuqi tribe?"

Qingkuo shook his head.

The people from the Baizhi tribe mentioned several tribes at once: "Fanbing tribe? Jiunian tribe? Yunxia tribe?"

When they came to the last tribe, Qing Kuo nodded: "I know the Yunxia tribe, in Tianning The tribe is a little over."

Baizhi tribe: "Yes, yes, the news that you want this plant you call rice came to our tribe from the Yunxia tribe, and the one who bullied us was the Yuqi tribe. Qing Kuo: "

Are they just taking your things? Are there any mortal enemies?"

Tribes are generally friendly. After all, everyone's fertility rate is low and their lethality is high. If they are not friendly, they will easily kill each other. die in between.

People from the Baizhi Tribe:

"It's not a mortal enemy. They are so abominable. We just want to teach them a lesson."

"The beasts that always bully us are smaller and can't beat them."

"Their cubs have started to practice bird hunting . They just want to beat us, and we won't be convinced if they don't destroy their prestige!"

Jian Mo listened to their chatter and felt that these guys were not the scheming ones.

It sounds quite juvenile.

Jian Mo pondered for a moment: "Do you just want to use this batch of rice in exchange for our help?"

The people of the Baizhi tribe said in unison: "Yes!!!"

Jian Mo: "We have some things at home, why don't you take a look first?"

When the people of the Baizhi tribe heard these words, some wanted to refuse, while others couldn't help but be curious.

They exchanged glances with each other, and finally one of the sub-orcs nodded, expressing that he wanted to take a look.

So Jian Mo went up to the second floor and took out metal tools such as scissors, daggers, saws, tweezers, and scalpels from the box.

These metal tools were carefully crafted by their tribe. Every line was finely ground with stones, and every edge was sharply cut.

After getting permission, the people of the Baizhi tribe took the utensils in their hands and looked at them. They could feel the cold, delicate, thick and smooth shape of the utensils. At first glance, they were fine crafts made with care.

Some people's eyes were straight and they couldn't move their eyes at all.

Seeing them like this, Jian Mo asked again: "We still have a batch of glass, do you want to replace the glass?"

After saying that, Qing Kuo and the others took the initiative to help and went to the second floor of Jian Mo's house to bring down three boxes.

The boxes contain blue, yellow and red translucent glass.

These colored glasses are crystal clear and more shocking than any natural gemstone - a natural gemstone is not that big.

The people of the Baizhi tribe almost glued their eyes to these glasses when they saw them.

Jian Mo suppressed the smile on her lips.

He knew that these glasses had a fatal attraction to orcs and sub-orcs.

Ah Hu had previously worn a stained glass necklace during the Festival of All Beasts. With this necklace and his outfit at the time, he directly won the title of "The Most Popular Orc".

Seeing that they no longer dared to breathe loudly, Jian Mo added, "I remembered that our family also made a batch of nut flour straw candies before. If you don't want to exchange these handicrafts, how about changing them to candies?"

People from the Baizhi tribe Those who looked at the metal utensils looked at the metal utensils, and those who looked at the glass looked at the glass. It seemed that they could not hear Jian Mo's words at all.

Jian Mo brought out a plate of nut noodles and grass candy and said to them: "It's this sweet candy. The nuts in it are very fragrant and go well with the sugar. I'll cut some for you to try."

The reason why he makes nut noodles Grass sugar, mainly because sugar is too rare, put some nuts in it, you can use less sugar.

Sugar with nuts is relatively easy to cut.

Wu Jiong took out his dagger, cut the large piece of candy into thumb-sized pieces in a few strokes, and divided it among each member of the Baizhi tribe.

Everyone is reluctant to refuse free candy.

The people of the Baizhi tribe threw the nut candies into their mouths. After tasting the taste, they all looked at the nut candies again.

This kind of candy with nutty aroma and sweet candy taste is really delicious!

They looked at each other.

Even if no one spoke, Jian Mo knew what they were thinking.

They must be thinking: I really want this, I really want that, I really want everything, what should I do?

The people of the Baizhi tribe had almost forgotten their previous request, and all their attention was focused on what Jian Mo brought out.

Jian Mo only gave them multiple choice questions and asked, "How about it? Do you want to change to metal utensils, glass, or nut flour straw candies."

The people of the Baizhi tribe were hesitant.

Just when they were about to speak, Jian Mo said again: "Rice is a collected product. I see that you have only brought three baskets over. I can only exchange the metal utensils for you with a small one. The glass can be exchanged for a large one. Nut-faced grass." You can exchange the sugar for three plates."

The people of the Baizhi tribe were even more hesitant. Their eyes swept over the things Jian Mo brought out, reluctant to part with each one.

The people from the Baizhi tribe asked: "Can we discuss it?"

Jian Mo made a "please" gesture: "Of course, you can come to me to change it after you have discussed it."

The people from the Baizhi tribe cheered after hearing this. They ran out into the yard, put their arms around each other's shoulders, and formed a circle.

As they discussed, they jumped up like a flock of chirping birds.

Jian Mo and several others could hear their thoughts clearly without eavesdropping.

"Why don't we exchange nut flour for straw candy? It's hard for everyone to exchange for other things."

"I also think that if we exchange for nut flour for straw candy, we can take some back to the tribe and divide the rest now."

"Humph, it's up to you to eat. It's so worthless! The food is gone after you finish it. It can be used for a long time if you replace it with metal utensils or glass."

"But it's hard to give it back to the tribe, who will let it go? " Is it good for home use?"

"I think Doctor Jian Mo likes rice. How about we change it to nut flour and straw sugar first, and then pick it up after we get back-"

"Shh, keep it down, they heard it."

"Nut flour and straw sugar." I want to exchange it for this! Otherwise, we can exchange the rice we collected for sugar, and what do you think you want to exchange for the remaining rice?"

Qing

Kuo listened to the words outside and said to Jian Mo in a low voice: "Yes. "

Jian Mo: "I think so."

Qing Kuo sighed: "I feel like they were bullied not just because of their small size."

Jian Mo: "Actually, they are not very small, just a little smaller than Jiu Jiu. The tribe that bullied them was so small?"

Qing Kuo: "It's really possible."

While Jian Mo and the others were chatting in the room, the people of the Baizhi tribe finally discussed the charter outside.

They wanted to exchange nut flour, straw sugar and a knife first, and then go back to the tribe to carry rice, and then exchange the remaining items with Jian Mo.

Jian Mo happily agreed.

The people of the Baizhi tribe liked the things they exchanged from Jian Mo very much, and they flew away after changing them.

As quickly as they come, they go as quickly as they come.

It seems that flying orcs do have an advantage.

Jian Mo said to Wu Jiong: "I didn't expect that there are orcs with animal forms like this."

Wu Jiong: "They are also beasts, all born from sub-orcs, but their animal forms are really special."

Jian Mo thought of the world on earth . The platypus could only say: "There are really many wonders in the world, and I have learned a lot."

Qing Kuo listened to their chat and couldn't help but interject: "Look at the rice you are talking about."

Jian Mo cheered up: "Here he comes. "

The people of the Baizhi tribe brought a total of three baskets of rice, one of which was ground and had its shell removed, ready to eat, and the other two baskets still had their shells.

Jian Mo grabbed a handful of rice with the shell still in it and looked at it in his hand.

This kind of rice has a very smooth appearance, a bit like pearls.

Pinch open the outer shell and you will see the rice he is familiar with.

Jian Mo: "Why don't you name this rice pearl rice? I think it looks like pearls, and it looks pretty."

Naturally, others would not have any objections to the supplies he exchanged.

Qing Kuo: "I wonder if it can be planted?"

Jian Mo held the rice and showed it to them: "I think it might be possible. You can see the umbilicus on the side."

Qing Kuo: "It seems to be true, it looks a bit like beans."

Jian Mo: "Then I'll try germinating them in two days. I'll also germinate the beans and see if I can plant some beans around the fence."

The beans are blooming quite nicely, so it won't hurt to plant some.

Jian Mo received the pearl rice and felt very happy.

There was a basket of pearl rice that had been shelled and could not be stored for long. He planned to make it into rice and eat it while it was still fresh.

If you want to pair it with rice, you naturally need hard vegetables.

Jian Mo wants to make a pot of braised pork.

For this reason, Jian Mo specially asked Dejiang to catch a arrow bone beast.

Ban Ming and the others can also catch arrow-bone beasts, but as the strongest feline beast in the tribe, Dejiang is the one who hunts the best.

Tokujiang catching the arrow-bone beast is probably like a cat catching a mouse.

Jian Mo entrusted it to him on the same day, and he delivered it that night.

Jian Mo used the arrow bone beast to make braised pork.

Half-fat and half-lean meat is forced out of oil, stir-fried to a sugary color, stewed one piece with spices, and simmered in a big pot for a long time until it trembles, the fat meat melts slightly, and the lean meat takes on a wonderful sauce color, and then sprinkled with Green onions bloom.

When the meat was put on the table, Jian Mo sniffed and felt like she was about to cry.

He called to Wu Jiong: "Come on, come on, pour a spoonful of soup on the rice, and then eat."

Wu Jiong stretched out the bowl and said, "Okay."

Jian Mo couldn't wait to mix the rice with the gravy, and then took a piece of braised pork. Popped it into his mouth and took another big mouthful of rice.

The braised pork is tender and fragrant, and the rice is oily and sweet. Adding the two together, one plus one is far greater than two.

Jian Mo let out a breath of hot breath and almost had tears in her eyes: "I just want to eat this braised pork with rice. I have wanted to eat it for a long time."

Wu Jiong knew.

Wu Jiong gave him a large piece of meat: "We will change some when the people from the Baizhi tribe come over next time."

Jian Mo: "Change! We will change as much as they bring! I wonder if we can plant it again this year?" If you can, eat more, and there will be no shortage of rice. "

What a wonderful life it would be if we could live a life with enough polished rice and flour in the orc world!

Chapter 108: Encounter on a narrow road.

Perhaps because she finally got the rice she had longed for, Jian Mo slept very soundly that night.

When he fell asleep, the corners of his mouth were still curled up.

The next day, when it was time for him to get up, he didn't wake up. He was sleeping soundly holding a thin animal fur blanket.

Until a loud voice shouted from downstairs: "Clan leader, it's not good, the people from the Baizhi tribe are blocked by the people from the Yuqi tribe -"

This loud voice was like thunder on the ground, and Jian Mo woke up at once. .

He shook and sat up holding the quilt.

The loud voice below continued: "People from the two tribes are fighting now, just outside our tribe!"

Jian Mo went to the ground with his bare feet, picked up the clothes on the side and hurriedly put them on, jumped on one foot and called Wu Jiong : "What's going on? I want to see it too!"

Wu Jiong was obviously almost at the door, and then walked back. His voice reached Jian Mo's ears from far away: "Okay."

Jian Mo got dressed and went to the door. He ran out in animal skin sandals.

Wu Jiong was waiting at the entrance of the stairs. Jian Mo didn't bother to go down the stairs, so he jumped down and threw himself into Wu Jiong's arms: "Quick, quick, quick, let's go take a look."

Wu Jiong pulled him out and walked in the yard. They turned back into giant wolves, and then, led by the giant cats waiting outside, the two giant beasts ran outside the tribe.

They talked about the situation as they ran.

Jian Mo listened for a long time before he understood the whole story.

It turned out that the people of the Baizhi tribe felt too tired yesterday evening and rested in the wild after flying out from their tribe.

Unexpectedly, the news that they came to the Riverside Tribe was not kept secret at all. When they set off, the people from the Yuqi Tribe already knew about it and were chasing after them.

Just as they were resting outside, the people from the Yuqi tribe finally arrived and blocked them outside.

The two tribes started to quarrel.

As the owners of this territory, the people of the Riverside tribe couldn't bear them quarreling or even fighting outside, so they hurried to find Wu Jiong.

If people from the Baizhi Tribe and the Yuqi Tribe were killed, the Riverside Tribe would be wronged.

Both the giant cat and the giant wolf ran very fast. While talking, they had already crossed the river and ran into the woodland outside.

Before entering the forest, Jian Mo heard a very familiar quarrel.

That chirping sound was clearly made by people from the Baizhi tribe.

There was another "meow, meow, meow" sound, which did not sound like the voice of people from their riverside tribe.

Could it be that the beasts of the Yuqi tribe are also cats?

Jian Mo leaned on the giant wolf to get a better look.

As he looked hard, he soon saw that what was confronting the Fat Jiu were a group of giant beasts with gray fur.

Wait, isn't that a rabbit?

Jian Mo's eyes widened and he recognized it carefully.

Opposite the fat cats are really big rabbits.

The rabbits were not too big, just a little bigger than the fat cats, and the two sides were noisy.

Seeing the giant cat and the giant wolf approaching, the Fat Jiu seemed to have finally found their backbone. They turned around and shouted: "Chief Wujiong! These guys are the ones bullying us, stealing our supplies, and scolding our people. You guys can help us." We seek justice!"

The big rabbits looked at Wu Jiong and the others in confusion.

After hearing the accusations of the fat cats, the big rabbits stopped: "Didn't you bully us and scold us?"

The fat cats ignored the rabbits and only looked at the riverside tribe: "We want to go back and give You bring supplies, but these guys won't let you!"

The big rabbits said, "Isn't it just supplies? Which tribe doesn't have them? We brought a lot of supplies here today! It's not that cheap for you to leave after scolding us! "

The fat chirps said, "Obviously you scolded us first!"

The big rabbits said, "No, you spoke first!"

The fat chirps flapped their wings in anger: "You are talking nonsense, you dug out our nest first, and you still Train the cubs to dig out our nests!"

The rabbits were furious and shouted: "You are still shitting on our heads!"

The last word had a broken sound, almost like a cry of accusation.

Jian Mo and the others were silent after hearing this.

When the rabbits talked about this, they felt aggrieved. They turned to the people of the riverside tribe and said: "Do you know how excessive they are? They poop not once or twice. They poop when they can't make a fuss, specifically to poop on our beast-shaped bodies." The poop on the head is different every time! !"

Jian Mo was silent for a moment: "The white fur poops white poop, and the gray fur poops white poop?

" They were stunned: "How do you know?"

Jian Mo coughed lightly, touched his nose, and stopped talking.

The fat tweeters became angry and cursed wildly: "We have all started fighting, what's wrong with using some tactics? Are your fighting methods very clean? All the brats who sneak attack, dig out nests, follow and instigate rebellion against our tribe are here... ..."

The fat tweeters scolded them with reason, their words were particularly sharp, and their voices were particularly clear.

The rabbits tried to retort at first, but after a few words of rebuttal, they found that they couldn't scold him at all.

A big rabbit got so angry that it pounced on a big fat chirp, pushed it down on its buttocks, and sat on the big fat chirp, completely suppressing it.

Da Fei tweeted: "Gah!"

His eyes were rolled out.

Jian Mo: "..."

Qing Kuo: "..."

The orcs and sub-orcs of the Riverside Tribe: "..."

The remaining fat chirps gave up and immediately flew up, planning to launch a plan to poop.

Jian Mo and the others' eyes widened.

Seeing this situation, the fat cats took back their plans and started chasing the big rabbits and pecking them like crazy.

As cats, the giant rabbits naturally restrain the fat chirps. Upon seeing this, they immediately showed their claws and began to fly. They also tried to sit on the fat chirps and suppress them with their buttocks.

It can be said that it is not very harmful, but extremely insulting.

The sub-orcs from both tribes screamed and rushed towards each other at the same time, preparing to fight.

It happens that the sub-orcs of the two tribes are relatively petite, and when they fight, they have quite the effect of teenagers fighting.

Wu Jiong couldn't stand it anymore, and said to Ban Ming and the others behind him: "Go up and break

up the fight." Ban Ming and the others had been waiting aside for a long time. When they heard the order, they got excited and immediately transformed into their animal form and ran forward.

This group of big cats joined the battlefield, grabbing the fat cats, the fat cats, the rabbits and the rabbits, and they didn't let go of any side.

After a burst of feathers and animal hair flying around, the scene finally calmed down.

Wu Jiong looked at them: "Change back to human form and discuss slowly."

The rabbits said: "Let us go first, Meow!"

Fat Jiu: "Just suppress us, how can we change?"

Wu Jiong: "Let you go, if you start fighting again, our riverside tribe will demand an explanation from you two tribes."

Rabbits and Fat Jiu They all froze and reluctantly agreed.

Jian Mo saw some clues and whispered in Wu Jiong's ear: "Are they all teenagers?"

Wu Jiong nodded.

Jian Mo just said, why are the people of the two tribes so naive?

It turns out they are all teenagers.

That's understandable, Ban Ming and the others are quite naive.

After everyone returned to human form, Wu Jiong asked everyone to return to the riverside tribe for discussion.

It's not far away now, just cross the river, there's no need to change into animal form.

The people from the Baizhi Tribe and the Yuqi Tribe stopped quarreling, but they were walking on opposite sides of the road, neither paying attention to the other.

Jian Mo saw their chins lifted and felt funny in her heart.

As expected of an energetic teenager, he came all the way to quarrel with other tribes.

Jian Mo asked Wu Jiong: "What should we do now?"

Wu Jiong: "Wait a moment and see if people from their two tribes come out to look for them. If not, ask them to stay for two days and let them go back on different days."

Jian Mo With a smile in his eyes: "Then which tribe should go back first and which tribe should go back later? Are the two tribes going to quarrel again over the time to go back?"

Wu Jiong: "Draw lots."

The people from the riverside tribe searched around, and sure enough, The adults of the Baizhi Tribe and the Yuqi Tribe came out to look for them, but the chiefs of the two tribes personally led the team out.

The adults of both tribes looked elegant and polite.

Especially the two clan leaders.

The leader of the Baizhi tribe is called Ji Zhi. He is a tall and good-looking sub-orc.

The leader of the Yuqi tribe is called Qi Ming. He is also good-looking and has the unique ferocious temperament of a feline orc.

The two clan leaders met at the riverside tribe and apologized to each other. They seemed to have a pleasant exchange.

Jian Mo felt that he couldn't understand the relationship between these tribes.

Everyone had a brief exchange, and Ji Zhi looked at Jian Mo and the others: "I'm sorry to trouble you this time. We brought rice here to make amends for you."

Qi Ming: "The same goes for us. This time it was our mistake. "We specially prepared five baskets of rice as compensation."

Ji Zhi: "In addition to five baskets of rice as compensation, we also brought some special nuts and berries. You can try them."

Qi Ming: "Listen . He said that Dr. Jian Mo likes spices very much. We brought some spices that are unique to the tribe. Do you like Dr. Jian Mo? "

...

Jian Mo was listening to them talking to each other about exchanging things. Understandably, the adults of these two tribes appear to be peaceful, but are actually not much more mature than the teenagers.

It seems that the two tribes really can't deal with each other.

How do you say that? The snipe and the clam compete for the fisherman's profit.

Jian Mo felt that if they argued a little more, they would start fighting to send things to the Riverside Tribe.

Even if the people from the Baizhi Tribe and the Yuqi Tribe were willing to give it away, Wu Jiong and the others had no intention of taking advantage.

These materials can be replaced with whatever they need.

However, the quarrel between the two tribes still brought some convenience to the Riverside Tribe. Normally, the Riverside Tribe could not get such favorable exchanges, nor could they exchange for so many exclusive goodies.

Jian Mo didn't even expect that he could get so much pearl rice this year, which would be enough for a year.

And usually he wants to trade so many to at least get some blood.

Now the two tribes are almost giving each other half for half. Not only did he not bleed, but he also got a small advantage.

After the replacement, no one from the Baizhi Tribe or the Yuqi Tribe had any intention of staying any longer.

Ji Zhi said elegantly to Jian Mo: "I heard that Dr. Jian Mo is looking for chili peppers. We will send someone over to tell you when there is news."

Qi Ming smiled gently, not to be outdone: "We will also help, Jian Mo. Doctor Mo, just listen to our news."

Jian Mo said quickly, "Sorry."

Both of them nodded to Jian Mo, saying you're welcome.

After the people from the two tribes left, the riverside tribe returned to peace.

Jian Mo put his arms around Wu Jiong's shoulders and jumped on his back: "I didn't expect the people from the two tribes to be like this."

Wu Jiong: "The two tribes are not that hard to deal with."

Jian Mo: "Both. A fight has already begun. Isn't that not a no-brainer?"

Wu Jiong nodded: "A lot of people are playing around and they seem to be interested in each other. The atmosphere between Ji Zhi and Qi Ming is also different."

Jian Mo: " ??"

Jian Mo: "It's different from what I thought!"

Wu Jiong nodded again: "Maybe when will the two tribes merge into one tribe?"

Jian Mo couldn't close his mouth. : "No way? How did you tell? I didn't find anything!"

Wu Jiong reached out and rubbed his head: "I liked you back then, but didn't you realize it for a long time?"

Jian Mo opened his mouth to defend, After thinking about it, he really didn't feel that Wu Jiong had that intention for a long time.

It can't match Wu Jiong's keenness, so forget it.

People from both tribes came and left, leaving behind large quantities of pearl rice and other seeds.

Jian Mo couldn't help but directly asked people from the tribe to help open up wasteland and opened up a large piece of land across the river.

A lot of fertilizer has been accumulated in the past six months, and it has been fermented. It can be used as base fertilizer in the wasteland.

The orcs and sub-orcs in the tribe are very strong, and they don't need anything else from Jian Mo to help with the work. They just want to eat their home-cooked food.

Jian Mo worked hard to cook a big meal every day when he went home. Whether it was braised pork, braised bird pieces, steamed fish or fried shrimp, he was greatly welcomed by the people who came to help.

In particular, Jian Mo can make some pastries, such as steamed buns, flower rolls, etc., which is even more praiseworthy.

Inspired by the delicious food, a lot of wasteland on the other side of the river was opened up.

Most of it is the land of Jian Mo's family, and a small part is the tribe's public farmland and land developed by others.

Jian Mo led everyone in breeding and planting.

After half a month of busy work, lush green seedlings grew in the ground on the other side of the river. Compared with the original bushes and grass, these seedlings were particularly neat and green.

Every time Jian Mo passed by the river, he felt filled with a sense of accomplishment.

This large area will bring them huge harvests in autumn and winter.

Although farming is a bit tiring, the crops harvested are not much more than those collected outside. The crops that can be planted are much more delicious than those collected.

Others can tolerate it, but he cannot.

He just wants to eat all kinds of delicious food, and even if it takes a lot of sweat, he is willing to work hard to improve the quality of life.

On this day, Jian Mo went to inspect the fields again. When he came back, he said to Wu Jiong, "We may need to build a granary."

The food their family had harvested before was piled on the second floor.

As the harvest increased, the piles on the second floor became more and more full. There were boxes on three walls and bags on one wall. These boxes were stacked one by one and almost became a wall. It looked very strange. It's messy and uncomfortable to live here.

Without the warehouse, their second floor would be flooded when the harvest comes again in the fall.

Not only is it unsightly, it is also a huge safety hazard when the time comes to light the charcoal basin.

Wu Jiong heard him mention it twice and already had a plan: "When the weather clears up a little longer, we will use stones to renovate the animal shed at the back. We will raise the beasts below and use it as a granary above."

Jian Mo immediately said: "I think it's okay. We can also build an additional warehouse and build a bathroom behind the kitchen. "

They don't have a proper bathroom yet, they just surround it with animal skins.

Wu Jiong agreed: "We will replace more stones during this period, and we will start construction when the materials are ready."

Jian Mo said with great interest: "I will draw the design first, and we will plan the renovation carefully this year!"

Chapter 109 Neighbors

need a lot of raw materials to renovate and build new houses, and it is too slow to just rely on personal collection.

During this period of time, Jian Mo was treating people, and all the supplies he collected were replaced with building materials.

The wood for beams, stones for building houses, hardwood for burning charcoal, and limestone for burning lime are all within the scope of their collection.

In addition to collecting from outside, if Jian Mo and the others see suitable materials when they go out, they will also carry them home.

If things don't go your way, go out again.

The people in the tribe saw that they had a hard time collecting materials, so they would help out.

Today this person will give a little, and tomorrow that person will give a little, and soon there will be a pile of materials behind their house.

Except for the beams, which must be carefully preserved in caves, everything else can be stacked in the open.

Jian Mo looked at more and more building materials being piled up, feeling filled with a sense of accomplishment.

After collecting for a while longer, when the weather is drier in the fall, they can start renovating the house.

On this day, Jian Mo did not go out to collect, but was helping a sub-orc with his teeth in the clinic.

Tooth wear is a relatively common problem. When this sub-orc bitten a relatively hard nut, half of his tooth was accidentally broken off, exposing the bloody tooth root inside.

Jian Mo helped him deal with it, but there was really no other way but to give him water soaked in anesthetic and help him pull out the tooth.

If this tooth is not extracted, it may become infected and inflamed later.

There is no local conditions for root canal treatment, so for the sake of safety, we can only pull it out, which is also a helpless method.

Jian Mo pulled out the tooth very seriously. After he finished taking care of the sub-orcs, he looked up and saw a row of bears lined up outside the window.

He was startled, and it took him two seconds to realize that these giant bears that looked like polar bears were from the Qinhai tribe.

He briefly told the partner of the sub-orc who was treating the teeth and asked him to guard the unconscious sub-orc. Then he took off his gloves and mask and went outside to meet these giant bears.

The giant bears greeted him one after another: "Doctor Jian Mo."

Shu Guang, the leader of the Qinhai tribe, said in a rough voice in his animal shape: "Doctor Jian Mo, I'm here to check with you."

Jian Mo: "Guess. We're here. Let's look outside. The light outside is better. Let me take a look at your belly first."

Shu Guang, the giant bear, then lay down and revealed his fat belly: "It's completely grown. It doesn't hurt or itch anymore . There's nothing special about it."

Jian Mo said intently, "I'll take a look first."

Shu Guang's belly is indeed healing well. There is a new layer of white hair on it, which is quite soft and thick.

Look at the wound that was stitched before.

The scars on the wounds have become much lighter, and because of the fuzz, it is not even obvious to the naked eye that they have been sutured here.

Jian Mo was very happy for him and proud of his craftsmanship: "The healing is good."

Shu Guang, the giant bear, said in a loud voice: "Really? Thanks to you."

Jian Mo: "Thanks to your cooperation. Have you been feeling uncomfortable recently? For example, does it hurt when you stretch your stomach, or does it cause bloating after eating?"

Shu Guang, the giant bear, shook his big head and said that it didn't happen.

Jian Mo: "How about going to the toilet? Will you be constipated?"

Giant Bear Shu Guang still shook his head.

Jian Mo felt more relaxed again: "Is there any problem of poor exhaust? Hiccups or belching?"

Shu Guang, the giant bear: "No, I feel exactly the same as before I was injured. Now I can even run without any problems. " It's a comfortable place."

Jian Mo listened to him with a stethoscope, and then announced: "It's almost healed, and there are no sequelae like intestinal adhesion as I imagined. Next, you just need to take good care of yourself and don't do anything. Just exercise too strenuously."

Juxiong Shuguang didn't understand what kind of disease it was, but he understood that he was fine: "Thank you so much!"

Jian Mo: "It's about treating diseases and saving people."

Ya in the clinic . Before the orcs woke up, Jian Mo put away the stethoscope and asked the giant bears how the Qinhai tribe was doing recently. Are there any special nuts or plants?

The giant bears said no, there was nothing special about their tribe.

Jian Mo inquired about it and reminded them to be careful when eating, especially to protect their teeth.

A giant bear behind Shu Guang asked gossiping: "Doctor Jian Mo, why did you suddenly tell me this? Could it be that the patient you are treating now has a tooth problem?"

Jian Mo motioned for him to speak softer: " Yes, a piece of the tooth was accidentally chipped."

Giant Bears: "How to treat it?"

Jian Mo: "Extract the whole tooth together, otherwise the damage will become worse and even threaten the neighboring teeth."

The giant bears obviously knew the pain of tooth extraction, and they all frowned and showed toothache expressions.

Shu Guang asked: "Is there any way not to extract the tooth?"

Jian Mo: "Not yet. If you don't want to extract the tooth, you have to repair it. You have to find suitable materials and glue. We don't have it here, so we can only extract the tooth."

Shu Guang: "You Speaking of glue, it seems that the Lin Yan tribe has suitable glue."

Jian Mo didn't expect to hear such an answer and looked at Shu Guang in surprise: "Lin Yan tribe? Is it the tribe below ours?"

Shu Guang: " Yes, I visited their tribe once when I was young, and I heard that they have a glue that sticks to things very well." Jian

Mo couldn't help but asked, "How strong is it?"

After thinking for a while: "I heard that they use that kind of glue to stick the ax on the stick. When the glue dries, the ax can be used normally."

Jian Mo took a breath: "Real or false? That's too much. It's an exaggeration."

Shu Guang: "It should be true. They have weird tempers, but they are not liars."

The giant bears of the Qinhai tribe did not stay in the riverside tribe for too long. After Shu Guang completed the review, they He put down the wood and stones he brought for Jian Mo and went back.

Not long after, the sub-orcs in the clinic also woke up.

The old orc man was a little uncomfortable with the extracted teeth. Jian Mo explained a few words, asking him to be careful not to lick, not to get food in when eating, and not to induce dry socket syndrome or anything like that. Osteomyelitis or osteomyelitis.

Jian Mo gave the explanation very seriously, and the consequences were also very serious, which made the couple's skin crawl.

The two repeatedly promised to protect them and never mess around. Jian Mo gave them heat-clearing and detoxifying herbs and let them go back.

In the evening, Wu Jiong came back, and the two of them talked about what happened today while having dinner.

Jian Mo briefly talked about the sub-orc who had the tooth extracted and Shu Guang who was undergoing the reexamination, and then mentioned the glue that Shu Guang was talking about.

Jian Mo: "Does the Linyan tribe really have particularly strong glue?"

Wu Jiong nodded: "Yes, I heard it can even be used to glue stones, but their tribe doesn't like to deal with other tribes, and we haven't really seen it."

Jian Mo: "What kind of glue is that? It sounds like It's a bit similar to our lime and cement."

Wu Jiong: "It should stick better than our lime and cement."

Jian Mo was itchy: "It sounds very useful. Can you change it with them?" Anyway, it's the tribe next door. "

The Linyan tribe is below their tribe, although the Linyan tribe itself lives a little lower in the territory and doesn't have much dealings with them.

But if we ride on Chiujiu, it shouldn't take long.

Wu Jiong didn't mind accompanying him: "I'll tell the people in the tribe and we'll go tomorrow."

Jian Mo agreed: "Okay! I'll pack some things for exchange."

Wu Jiong: "Bring more metal or food, they may be more interested in this."

Jian Mo: "No problem, these two things are easy to bring on the road."

The two briefly discussed what they would bring with them the next day. I packed my things and went to bed early.

After breakfast the next day, Jian Mo took Jiujiu out and put a rein on it.

When flying at a close distance, Jian Mo usually didn't bother to put the reins on Chiu Jiu. He sat on its back, held on tightly, and reached the destination after a few casual touches.

Only when going to far away places does Jian Mo know how to use the reins seriously.

As soon as Jiu Jiu saw Jian Mo coming out with the reins, he knew that he would be outside for a long time today, so he couldn't help but jump up excitedly: "Ziu Jiu!"

Jian Mo quickly pulled its wings: "Don't be excited, you are about to step on my foot. "

Jiujiu jumped back and stretched out his big head to nuzzle Jian Mo: "Jiujiu!"

Jian Mo patted its butt: "Okay, we will set off later, please save your strength."

Jiujiu raised his head and raised his chest. He said there was no need to save, it was very powerful: "Chiu!"

Jian Mo and Wu Jiong only carried the baskets on their backs and rode Chiu Jiu to the south of the tribe.

Wu Jiong probably knew where the Linyan tribe was, but he had never been there. He only heard from the elders in the tribe.

As they flew, they adjusted their direction according to the position of the sun, only ensuring that the approximate position would not be wrong.

From morning to noon, Jian Mo felt sleepy.

Wu Jiong suddenly said: "The territory below should be the Linyan tribe."

Jian Mo grabbed the reins of Jiujiu and subconsciously lowered his head to look down.

The landscape below was completely different from that of their tribe. It was somewhat similar to the Ambush Plain where they went to hunt and catch fish. It looked like a grassland landscape.

At this time, the grassland is green and lush. Looking down from high altitude, you can see the distant snow-capped mountains.

Jian Mo opened his mouth in surprise, and finally understood why the people from the Linyan tribe didn't like to run towards them.

The two sides are completely different. It is estimated that the people from the Linyan tribe will not be used to their side.

Before Jian Mo could finish looking at the terrain, Wu Jiong reminded him in his ear: "Look at the orcs of the Linyan tribe."

Jian Mo's eyes widened: "Where are their orcs?"

Before Wu Jiong could answer, the grassland The stones scattered on the ground suddenly stretched out and turned into giant beasts like dinosaurs.

No, no, no, Jian Mo quickly realized, this is not like a dinosaur, but like a giant armadillo.

Look at the thick and wide scales and the way they are balled up, don't they look like armadillos?

The giant beast beneath the ground craned its neck to look at them.

Wu Jiong sat on Jiujiu's back and spoke loudly to explain his identity and purpose of coming.

An extraordinarily large giant beast underground spoke slowly: "Hello, see you soon."

Jian Mo turned to look at Wu Jiong, and was about to ask him, didn't he say that he had never been to this tribe before? ?

The voice of the giant beast did not stop: "People from the tribe on the river bank."

Another giant beast said: "Want to change the glue and water?"

Jian Mo was moved by this. One word at a time, the words were so long that I almost choked.

The people of Linyan tribe actually have this style!

Their speaking style is almost slower than that of a koala!

No wonder they don't like to deal with other tribes, and other tribes can't stand their style!

Jian Mo was very shocked, but Wu Jiong showed no expression at all. He calmly directed Jiu Jiu to land on the ground and greeted the group of giant beasts who were digging grass stalks to eat: "Yes, we just want to come over and take a look. By the way, Change the glue."

Giant Beast: "This-like-ah--"

Giant Beast: "Just change--forget it..."

Jian Mo listened patiently for a long time, and the Giant Beasts said, Instead of using their stuff, the Linyan tribe had made glue before and had some leftover, which could be given directly to them.

As he said that, one of the giant beasts balled up on the spot and rolled on the spot. Gulugulu rolled to a stone slightly higher than the ground on the grass, and rolled down from under the stone into a hole in the ground.

Only then did Jian Mo realize that some of the boulders on the grass were real boulders, not rocks made of giant beasts.

They dug a nest directly in the ground and lived underground.

After waiting for a long time, the giant beast who was looking for glue slowly walked out and handed Jian Mo a bag of translucent amber-like lumps, indicating that this was their glue. When using it, just put it in a pot and dissolve it with water. .

Jian Mo quickly handed over the dried meat as a gift to them.

The giant beast waved his hands, rolled up into a ball on the spot, and rested in the sun.

Jian Mo didn't expect that these giant beasts would really give away the food they said they would give away, and they didn't even want dried meat. She was even more shocked.

Amid shock, there was also a little bit of shame. The giant beast spoke slowly but still had a really good personality and was really generous.

Jian Mo and Wu Jiong also wanted to communicate with the giant beasts again.

The giant beasts spoke slowly and refused, saying that talking to them was too tiring and they should go back if they had nothing to do.

So, Jian Mo and Wu Jiong spent half the morning flying over to the Linyan tribe. Without saying a few words, they mounted their Chiu Jiu and flew back to the tribe.

Jian Mo was very shocked: "I didn't expect that our neighbor has such a character, and there are still people who can live like this."

Wu Jiong looked equally shocked: "I didn't expect it either. When I inherited the tribe, the elders of the tribe led I visited all the nearby tribes, but I didn't come to the neighboring Linyan tribe."

Jian Mo looked back at the vast grassland: "Maybe it's useless even if I come, the Linyan tribe shouldn't care if the neighboring tribe changes. Patriarch. "

Chapter 110 Fish Maw Glue

The pack of glue brought back from the Linyan tribe is a thin, translucent piece of solidified glue that looks like amber. When you knock it on with your hands, it becomes hard.

Jian Mo was really curious about this kind of glue. After studying it for two days, he said to Wu Jiong, "How about we use this glue to make a cabinet? Let's see what the effect is."

The house is so big that they need a lot of cabinets.

The previous cabinets had been made with a mortise and tenon structure and fixed with wooden nails, but they would still shake a little after being used for a long time.

Their technology here is not good, and it is difficult for the cabinets to be made to fit tightly. The gaps will get bigger the more they are used, so they need glue to fix them.

Jian Mo kept staring at the glue and was really interested in it.

Wu Jiong agreed: "Tomorrow I will find someone to cut the wood into pieces."

To make furniture, they must first cut the wood into wooden boards, then use a planer to smooth the wooden boards, remove all burrs, and then assemble them.

Each of these steps requires a significant amount of labor.

No matter how capable Wu Jiong is, it will take more than ten or dozens of days to do it alone.

In this case, it is more convenient to ask someone to come over and help you do it together.

Jian Mo originally thought that Wu Jiong would hire Dejiang and his team, a young and middle-aged orc with good skills and patience.

Unexpectedly, when they came back, a group of giant cats and dogs crowded briskly outside their yard, huddled together, changed back to their human form, and then squeezed into the yard.

Ban Ming met Jian Mo's confused gaze and said with some pride: "The patriarch asked us to come over and teach us how to do carpentry."

Jian Mo: "Will Wu Jiong pay you?"

Ban Ming scratched his head: "Yes?"

The old leader behind him confirmed: "Here, the clan leader told us."

Jian Mo: "That's good, come in quickly."

A group of young people filed in, moving wood quickly and preparing wooden boards.

Their skills are not very good, but their attitudes are still very positive.

Soon, Dejiang and others also came over.

Seeing them, Jian Mo breathed a sigh of relief.

The unreliability of Ban Ming and others was deeply rooted in his heart, so he had to have reliable people in charge to make him feel more at ease.

With everyone's joint efforts, the wood was quickly cut into pieces, planed smooth, and then made into boards according to Jian Mo's requirements.

Jian Mo took out the drawings he had drawn earlier and showed them to everyone, discussed the specific appearance of the cabinet, then lit a fire in a corner of the yard, separated the water and melted the glue.

The glue melts quite slowly.

He started melting it in the evening. He originally thought it would be melted before dark, but he didn't expect that it was already dark and the glue in the pot was only half melted.

Everyone had to light torches and wait.

I waited until it was late at night, and the glue in the pot finally melted.

The melted glue is in the form of a viscous, translucent liquid. Use a wood chip to scrape it up. If you turn the wood chip upside down, it will hardly fall off. It looks very sticky.

The glue smelled strange, not the kind of smell Jian Mo was familiar with.

The glue looks very special, and it also works very well. It solidifies quickly when applied to wood and sticks very firmly.

Jian Mo also wanted to use wooden carpentry clamps to clamp the two glued pieces of wood together and leave them overnight until the glue on them dries completely.

Unexpectedly, before the woodworking clamp was adjusted, the glue had solidified, turned white and hardened, and the glue overflowing from the gap could not be removed.

Jian Mo looked at the glue in shock.

As far as he knew, some chemical glues used on earth would not solidify so quickly.

There is something really good about this glue. If there is such a good glue, many things can be made.

Others have no idea what the glue that sets so quickly and sticks so firmly means, and they are quite happy.

"It's very useful. It is indeed the secret recipe of the Linyan tribe."

"If I had known that their glue was so easy to use, we would have replaced it earlier. The wooden stool in my house was not glued and kept shaking around. Be careful and you may pinch your buttocks."

"Hahaha, last time Ahu sat on my wooden stool in his animal form, a large piece of hair was pinched off his buttocks. He is probably still bald."

"Your buttocks are bald. ! ! "

"Yo yo yo, you're not bald, so why don't you transform into a beast and show me now?"

Everyone was laughing and joking, except for A Hu who was unlucky to be stopped.

Ah Hu was now furious and began to chase and beat everyone.

Jian Mo carefully inspected the two glued wooden boards.

With his strength, he couldn't break the two wooden boards at all.

He somewhat understood why the axes of the Linyan tribe were all glued together and were really strong.

Wu Jiong saw that his face was turning red, and he stretched out his hand: "I'm here to break it. Do you want to break it apart and glue it again

?" Jian Mo: "No, I just want to test how strong the glue is?"

Wu Jiong: "I Try it."

Wu Jiong tried it in human form, but it didn't break.

Seeing this, Dejiang came over and broke it off, but was also defeated.

Ban Ming and the others crowded over and tried to break the wooden board.

However, Wu Jiong and Dejiang couldn't break up, and the others couldn't break up even more.

One of the orcs didn't hold the wooden board firmly. When he broke it, the wooden board fell out of his hands and he hit his chin, which immediately caused blood to drip from his hand.

Jian Mo was startled and quickly helped the orc to stop the bleeding.

The glue from Linyan Tribe is very useful, but unfortunately there is too little, so I made a wooden cabinet and it was gone.

The next day, Jian Mo got up and looked at the wooden cabinet hanging in the yard. The wooden cabinet was completely dry and looked very beautiful. It couldn't shake at all if it was shaken by hand.

It seems that this wooden cabinet is formed in one piece, without using glue or mortise and tenon structure at all. It just grew out naturally.

Jian Mo was pleasantly surprised and went around to inspect it. She felt that this was the most exquisite wooden cabinet they had ever made.

It was a pity that there was only such a wooden cabinet. He turned his head and looked at the materials scattered around, a little eager to try.

With so much material, we should be able to make three or four wooden cabinets.

He could get some more glue and make the wooden cabinets.

Wu Jiong knew what he was thinking as soon as he looked at him: "Let's go to the Linyan tribe again and come back in exchange for some glue?"

Jian Mo: "I guess it won't work. This glue was given to us by the people from the Linyan tribe. Even if If we go there, they won't make another glue just for us."

Wu Jiong also knew this: "Then the remaining materials should be used to make cabinets according to our original habits?"

Jian Mo: "Let me think about it. It seems that I know how to make ordinary glue. "

Glue on earth also has a very ancient history. Before the advent of chemical glue, people would use various animal glues.

When Jian Mo was in school, he came into contact with the famous donkey-hide gelatin.

Donkey-hide gelatin is actually donkey hide glue. Like cowhide glue, it is essentially a kind of glue. However, later people discovered their effect of replenishing qi and blood and used it as medicine. On the contrary, few people use it as glue.

Jian Mo knows another kind of animal glue - fish bladder glue.

This kind of glue is the same as donkey hide glue, cowhide glue, etc. It boils collagen to make it sticky.

Jian Mo gave Wu Jiong a brief introduction to how to make fish maw glue: "It happens that I haven't eaten fish for a long time. Let's go catch some fish and come back and try some fish maw?"

Wu Jiong: "I went to Green Marsh Source to get some fish. I haven't been there for a long time. Green Marsh Source."

Jian Mo had no objection at all: "If we catch a lot of fish, we can make a batch of fish balls. The new fish balls are quite delicious."

Many people in the tribe also want to catch fish, Wu. Jiong made some arrangements and simply formed a large team and led a large number of people to catch fish in the green marsh source.

When they arrived at the place, the orcs, sub-orcs, and sub-orcs took full advantage of their own advantages and quickly caught big and fat fish.

It's been almost half a year since they came here to catch fish collectively. There are so many big fish in the water, and they can catch them all with certainty.

Before noon, all the baskets they had brought were full.

Even though everyone doesn't like eating fish, everyone was smiling from ear to ear with this harvest.

Catching fish here is much more rewarding than ordinary hunting and gathering.

Fortunately, the swamp here is full of wild grasses, some of which are particularly strong.

People took advantage of their lunch break to cut some grass and twist it directly into straw ropes.

After catching the fish in the afternoon, they put the ones with seeds in their stomachs and about to grow back into the water. The rest were directly passed through the gills and mouths of the fish with straw ropes, and they were lifted directly and brought back to the tribe.

The fish caught today was so fresh and plump that everyone was reluctant to make it into cured fish, so they saved the fish they ate at night and kept the rest in the river next to the tribe.

When they got up the next morning, most of the tribe came out to process the fish.

They killed the fish, cleaned it, filleted the fish, and then sent it to the stone pound to grind the fish into minced fish, and then make fish meat balls one by one.

Everyone divided the work and cooperated, and the fish balls were made quickly.

Jian Mo had previously taught everyone in the tribe how to make meatballs, and the same steps were followed for fishballs.

You only need to season the surimi into a ball, boil it in hot water until it is half cooked, and then take it out.

The fish balls made from fresh fish are fresh and chewy, completely different from the fish balls Jian Mo bought on Earth.

Jian Mo tried taking some fish balls and stem pieces to cook the soup together. After cooking, she added some chopped green onion. When she ate it, it was fresh, sweet and tasted particularly good.

Jiu Jiu especially likes fish balls and can eat a large bowl in one sitting.

Fish balls are easier to preserve than fish meat. It doesn't matter if you can't finish them all at once. Whether you put them outside to dry in the sun or put them in a bucket and soak them in water and change the water in time, they can be stored for a long time.

If someone doesn't want to cook one day, they can just make fish ball soup, which is very convenient.

You don't need a fish bladder to make fish balls. Everyone knew that Jian Mo wanted a fish bladder to make something, so he specially left the swim bladder for him.

After he got the fish bladder, he cleaned the debris on the surface and put it outside to dry. Then he took it back, soaked it in water and prepared it for the glue.

Wu Jiong: "Since it needs to be made with water, why do you need to dry it in the sun?"

Jian Mo scratched his head: "I don't know very well. I heard people say that this is how fish maw glue is boiled, and it needs to be boiled in water, otherwise it will become mushy.

" Jiong: "It sounds a bit complicated."

Jian Mo: "Yeah. Let's start cooking it tonight, one night, and another day tomorrow. It should be almost done."

Jian Mo cut the fish bladder into pieces and put them in a small clay pot inside, then put the small clay pot into the large clay pot, add water to both pots, and simmer slowly.

He didn't dare to cook it in the metal pot at home, because he was afraid that if any step went wrong, the metal pot would be damaged.

The metal pot is almost the most important possession of his family. Nothing can break the metal pot.

After busy nights and days, the fish maw cooked by Jian Mo really melted and turned into a thick and white glue, which looked a bit like paste.

He was refreshed and quickly took Wu Jiong to assemble the cabinet with the newly boiled fish maw glue.

When they assembled it, it went smoothly, except that the fish bladder glue was not as fast-drying as the glue given by the Lin Yan tribe. They clamped it with carpentry clamps, and when they got up to look at it again the next morning, the glue was basically dry.

Jian Mo tried to break it off. The glue was quite strong and he couldn't break it off as long as he didn't use too much force.

This glue should be enough for daily use.

However, this glue is far inferior to the glue from the Linyan Tribe.

The glue of the Lin Yan tribe could not be broken even if Wu Jiong and Dejiang tried hard.

"Interesting." Jian Mo said to himself, "The glue from the Linyan tribe is so easy to use. No wonder it is their unique secret recipe."

Wu Jiong came over and said, "Maybe this is the treasure at the bottom of their tribe's box."

Jian Mo then noticed that Wu Jiong was coming, raised his head and said, "It's possible. Their glue should be the best glue among all the nearby tribes. No wonder Shu Guang still misses it after decades."

Wu Jiong: " I guess we will remember it for decades."

Jian Mo: "No, no, if we can't make such easy-to-use glue, we will remember it for the rest of our lives."

Wu Jiong patted his shoulder comfortingly.

Jian Mo sighed: "Sure enough, it's not that easy to surpass other people's unique secret recipes."

Jian Mo raised his head: "You said we would exchange secret recipes with the people of the Lin Yan tribe, is it possible to exchange them?"

Wu Jiong: "Lin Yan The tribesmen may not have time to pay attention to us. Even if there is a secret recipe in front of them, they are too lazy to try it. "

Jian Mo sighed: "It's probably because they are so tired of burning glass and so on. They just dig the soil. We've settled in the cave, so there shouldn't be any need to upgrade our home."

Wu Jiong: "If you really want it, let's go find out what the people in the Linyan tribe like."
