Chapter 71 Leading the Way

Jian Mo looked carefully and saw that the face of the thin orc master of the flying winged beast was really full of desire.

He sniffed hard, sniffed, looked at the thin winged beast, then looked at Jian Mo, and almost asked if there was still food in the winged beast's food bowl. Could he taste some?

Jian Mo's expression became a little subtle because he guessed his brain circuit.

The name of the sub-orc is Peng Xi. The flying winged beast in the family belongs to two fathers. Since I have been dealing with flying winged beasts since I was a child, I am very familiar with the temperament of flying winged beasts, so this time I took the flying winged beast directly with my little friend Duan An. The winged beast comes out.

Peng Xi looked at the Winged Beast's rice bowl and saw that Jian Mo had no intention of speaking, so he took the initiative and said, "It smells delicious, hahaha. I have long heard that you are good at cooking. Now I believe it."

Jian Mo said. Mo Qianxian: "It's not very good, it's just an average home-cooked meal."

Peng Xi: "I can smell it, how could it be bad? If it wasn't good, Dara wouldn't eat it so well."

Dara is The name of that skinny winged beast.

Jian Mo looked at Dara and said to herself that the Winged Beast would probably enjoy the food as long as it was a normal meal.

Since Peng Xi's words kept lingering on the food, Jian Mo simply invited them to stay for dinner.

The two were overjoyed and immediately agreed, saying they would help Jian Mo.

Although Jian Mo's kitchen was ready, the two large iron pots had not yet been made, so they could only cook in clay pots first.

It was a bit late, so Jian Mo didn't want to make too complicated food, so she stewed a pot of meat, grilled a bunch of sausages, and mixed some wild vegetables.

Three dishes and one soup. The number of dishes is relatively small, but the quantity is large.

Peng Xi burst into tears after eating: "This is too delicious! It's so fragrant! Your cooking is really delicious!"

Jian Mo was reserved: "Fortunately, maybe it's your first time to eat the food I cooked, so it feels fresh. "

Peng Xi shook his head repeatedly: "I have been to so many places and eaten so many family meals, but the food you cook is the most delicious. It is so delicious that I can even eat it."

Jian Mo looked at this . The thin orc man had no choice but to say: "Then you eat more."

Pengxi: "I will definitely not be polite to you!"

After having a delicious meal, Pengxi hugged his belly and leaned on the recliner: "It's so delicious. , I just saw your house, and I was so envious. After eating, I realized that it's not a big deal if the house is well built, but it's really invincible if the food is delicious."

Jian Mo looked at his relaxed look and smiled. Said: "As long as you like it."

Peng Xi said: "I really like it. I heard that I can exchange some food from you. Can I exchange it too? I brought the fabric here. If the fabric doesn't work, I still have some here. You can also exchange for metal daggers."

Jian Mo declined: "We did make delicious food a few times in winter, but we don't have it anymore. Let's do

it next time." Peng Xi: "What about the sausage we had today? One of the foods you exchanged?"

Jian Mo was not surprised by how well-informed he was, and just said: "This is also food made in winter, and there is not much left."

Peng Xi looked forward to it: "There is not much left. How many are there? Can you exchange them all for me?"

Jian Mo reminded: "The sausages were made in winter and have been stored for a while."

Peng Xi didn't care: "It doesn't matter when they were made, as long as they are delicious. "

Jian Mo saw that he really liked it and said, "Let's change the roll of fabric."

Peng Xi immediately took out the roll of fabric from the basket on his back and said, "I'll give you the biggest roll!"

The total of Jian Mo's sausages is only There is half a basket left, and he has not had time to do it in the past two days.

Seeing that Peng Xi insisted on using the large piece of cloth to replace the sausage, Jian Mo felt a little sorry: "Actually, cooking is very simple. If you are interested, I can teach you."

Peng Xi is very eager to learn: " "Okay, thank you for your hard work."

Jian Mo taught them how to cook overnight: "There are two main points to pay attention to when cooking - heat and seasoning. The heat is difficult for beginners to master. You can learn seasoning first. If you are afraid of not being sure, "It's also a good choice to marinate the food in advance."

The two sub-orcs learned it very seriously, but the results were beyond Jian Mo's expectations.

Jian Mo now believes that some people really have no talent for cooking - to be precise, they have different perceptions. No matter how they cook, they will have unique views on the food they serve and will stick to it.

In general, I just don't listen to advice.

There was nothing Jian Mo could do to teach him, so he could only say to Peng Xi: "Forget it, from now on you can blanch as much water as possible when cooking, then add seasonings and stew."

Peng Xi looked at Jian Mo longingly: "I'll add the seasonings. The rice is not delicious, it is completely different from the seasoning here. Can you give us some seasoning? "

Jian Mo likes to cook, and has special seasoning powder, including but not limited to shellfish powder and animal meat powder. , pepper powder, sugar powder, salt powder and mixed spice powder, etc., are indeed much richer in spices than ordinary people.

He looked at Peng Xi who was looking forward to it and said, "Forget it, I can give you some."

Peng Xi: "Then can you help us mix it? If we don't mix it, we don't know how much to put in."

Duan An He nodded his head in agreement.

Jian Mo took out two small jars, mixed the seasoning powder, and gave each of them a jar.

Peng Xi pinched some seasoning powder with her fingers and threw it into her mouth: "I think this seasoning powder is also quite delicious."

Jian Mo joked: "Then if you feel that cooking is not delicious in the future, you can stew the animal meat in water Then, dip it into the seasoning powder."

Peng Xi's eyes lit up: "That makes sense! Doctor Jian Mo, you are so good. Will we come to you for seasoning powder next time?"

Jian Mo said casually: "I guess it won't work. Fortunately, we don't have much of this peppercorn powder. I wonder if it can be replaced soon? If not, there is nothing we can do."

Peng Xi was surprised: "Why don't you go outside to pick it? Jian Mo couldn't laugh or cry: "

Our tribe is small, we can't rush to other tribes to collect."

Peng Xi: "You can go to those unowned places. Do you know the place where the Bingjiang tribe and the Qinhai tribe meet?" There is."

Jian Mo really didn't know: "Are you sure there is peppergrass there?"

Peng Xi nodded affirmatively: "We saw it when we came here. It was so big that no one went there."

Duan An added: "It's too far away from Bingjiang and the two tribes. I guess they don't want to go there. The pepper grass should still be there now."

Jian Mo was moved: "I wonder if you can go pick it?"

Peng Xi: "Absolutely. Okay, it doesn't completely belong to the Bingjiang Tribe, nor does it completely belong to the Qinhai Tribe, no one will care about you."

Jian Mo realized that it was probably a place similar to Salt Lake, and everyone would go there, so no one would care about it.

But compared to the Salt Lake, it is very remote. No one goes there and no one cares about it.

Jian Moxiao: "If there is one, let's take some time to go and have a look."

Peng Xi encouraged: "How about we go tomorrow? I don't know if there will be any accidents after a long time. You also have a flying winged beast, right? "It won't take long to ride there, and you can go back and forth in one day."

Jian Mo thought about it and said, "I'll ask my partner."

Peng Xi said, "We can show you the way.

" Mo Xiao: "Okay, thank you for your hard work."

Peng Xi and Duan An stayed overnight at the riverside tribe.

There are empty houses in the tribe for them to live in, but they need to pay a little compensation.

The two gave the riverside tribe a piece of cloth without any care and lived in the best house.

Jian Mo took them to resettle, and couldn't help but sigh. The Tianning tribe was indeed a wealthy tribe that was good at making pottery, and their sub-orcs were generous.

After sending the two sub-orcs to settle down, Jian Mo went home and asked Wu Jiong where the Bingjiang tribe and the Qinhai tribe met.

Wu Jiong wasn't sure if there was any peppergrass there, but he was sure there wouldn't be any trouble going there.

Jian Mo immediately patted his thigh and said, "In that case, let's not be polite and go directly for a trip tomorrow? Jiujiu has been gaining weight after staying in the tribe for so long. It's just the right time for him to lose weight."

Wu Jiong : "It's not fat, but rather strong. It looks much stronger than the flying winged beasts of the Tianning tribe."

Jian Mo looked at his calm expression and said, "You're too protective of yourself."

Jian Mo finally knew why he was flying . The Winged Beast has a good relationship with him, and he can't even say a word to protect his shortcomings.

Wu Jiong: "It's just the truth."

Peng Xi and Duan An were very excited to take Jian Mo and the others to pick peppers, so they came over to their house early the next morning and had breakfast.

While having breakfast, Peng Xi said: "Doctor Jian Mo, you'd better bring two more big bags. There are really a lot of peppers there."

Duan An: "Yes, yes, you can also bring some food out. If I haven't finished picking it today, so I can stay there for one night and start picking again tomorrow."

Jian Mo: "If you say so, I'm looking forward to it."

Peng Xi: "I'm not going to lie to you, it's all over the mountains and plains . It's Jiao Rui. I didn't even know you liked this stuff. If we had known, we would have gone down to pick it up and brought it over to you."

Not only were Peng Xi and Duan An having breakfast at Jian Mo's house, but their flying wings were also there. The beast also lived in Jian Mo's house.

Jian Mo looked at the protruding belly of the flying-winged beast with some worry. If it was really full, would it still be able to fly later?

It turns out that food does not affect the flying beast's flight.

Their flying winged beast Dara not only could fly after it was full, but also flew very fast, flying in front and chirping to lead the way.

Jian Mo saw that the two sub-orcs had no problem riding on the flying winged beast, and he thought that when he came back, he could try riding on the back of Chiujiu alone.

Jiujiu is so well-behaved, so it shouldn't be a problem if you train him.

The two teams flew all the way north for a long time and arrived at a place that was unfamiliar to Jian Mo.

They sometimes come to the Bingjiang Tribe, and they have also been to the Qinhai Tribe a few times, but they have never taken this road and have never been to this place.

After all, the two tribes are very large and the border line is very long. It is normal that they have never been here before.

Jian Mo sat on Jiu Jiu and fell asleep. He didn't know how long it had passed before his nose suddenly smelled a strong and overbearing spicy smell.

Looking down from Jiujiu's back, Jian Mo was shocked to see pepper flowers blooming all over the mountains and plains.

This is an orange-red translucent flower that looks very bright and has a strong visual impact. It looks just like the rhododendrons that bloom all over the mountains and fields in his hometown in spring.

It's just that the pepper flower is bigger, more colorful and has a stronger smell than the azalea.

Jian Mo looked down in surprise and said to Wu Jiong behind him: "So many?!"

The orc man's hearing is very keen, Peng Xi said loudly from the front: "We all said there are some, we didn't lie to you, right? "

Jian Mo: "Yes! Thank you for bringing us here!"

Peng Xi smiled: "You're welcome, this is not our tribe's territory."

The two flying winged beasts descended slowly.

The peppergrass has thorns, so they don't dare to get too close, so they land on the edge.

Everyone got off the back of the flying-winged beast and stood beside the pepper grass.

After going down, Jian Mo and the others could see the pepper flowers more clearly. The translucent flowers also looked more beautiful, and the stamens in the middle of the flowers were releasing spicy flavor.

Because of this spicy smell, the area is extremely clean, and ordinary bugs and wild beasts will not come here at all.

Jian Mo reached out and picked two stamens, smelled them, and confirmed that these were the pepper stamens they used daily - they were ready to be picked.

Peng Xi and Duan An also helped them pick for a while, but soon lost their patience in picking.

Jian Mo said considerately: "You have already brought us here, we can do the rest by ourselves."

Peng Xi immediately put the pepper pistils in his hand into their cloth bag: "You have found the pepper pistils. , can we come over to exchange for seasoning powder next time?"

Jian Mo smiled: "Of course, welcome."

Chapter 72: Stunned

After Peng Xi and the others left, Jian Mo and Wu Jiong stayed where they were and continued to pick pepper pistils.

The peppers here are not only plentiful, but also of very good quality. The spicy flavor they exude is overbearing and pure.

Even after picking them for a long time, the skin on their hands that came into contact with the peppers was a bit spicy.

Jian Mo's hands felt uncomfortable, but he felt very happy.

There are so many pepper pistils, enough for them to use for half a year. If they exchange a batch with others or find a batch, they will not be short of pepper pistils this year.

During the break, Jian Mo asked Wu Jiong to go to the ditch and wash his hands with melted snow water: "It's really a mistake to come here without gloves. It seems that you have to remember to wear gloves next time."

Wu Jiong saw that his hands were a little red due to the pain. She gently stretched out her hand to cover his hand: "Go back first and pick it off again tomorrow after wearing gloves."

Jian Mo reluctantly refused: "No, it's too far, I'd better take it off in one go, it won't be very uncomfortable." "

Wu Jiong frowned slightly and looked at him disapprovingly.

Jian Mo changed the subject: "Will these pepper pistils bear fruit?"

Wu Jiong guessed what he wanted to ask: "The pepper pistils are sweet, with only a thin layer of skin."

Jian Mo nodded regretfully. In that case, the pepper pistils will bear fruit. The pistils cannot be used as chili peppers.

Wu Jiong: "Birds like this fruit very much. When the pepper fruit is ripe, many birds will come to eat it and then take their seeds to various places. Some tribes also like to use it to make wine. When the pistils are ripe, some tribes will come here to pick the fruits and catch birds. They usually get a good harvest."

Jian Mo looked at the pistil grass all over the mountains and fields, and was excited: "We can also come here to pick some, in addition to making wine. In addition, we can also plant them in the tribe, so we can use fresh pepper stamens in the future."

Wu Jiong: "We will come again then."

Jian Mo: "Then I will make a note of it and pick more when the time comes. It can be planted on the edge of the field, and it should be used as a fence."

The two rested for a while and then went back to pick pepper pistils.

There were so many flowers that they specially set aside enough flowers for pollination and couldn't finish them all.

The flowers of the peppercorns were big and bright. Jian Mo's eyes were a bit blurry after seeing them too much, and he was not so focused on picking the peppercorns.

He picked almost mechanically, and his mind began to think about various things.

At this moment, his hand touched a hard moving object. He was startled and immediately threw the thing away.

"What's wrong?" Wu Jiong quickly turned around, held his hand and asked, "Did you get bitten by an insect?"

Jian Mo raised his hand: "No, I just touched something that moved. I don't know if it was an insect." " I didn't see it clearly."

"Let me take a look." Wu Jiong checked in the flowers and quickly picked out a big brown bug from the flowers to show Jian Mo, "It's a bug. This kind of bug." "

Jian Mo took a closer look and saw that this kind of bug looked a bit like a grasshopper or a wasp. Anyway, they were slender bugs with wings and shells, but they were very big, almost half the size of his hand. .

Jian Mo took a breath and asked, "Does it bite?"

Wu Jiong said, "If you put your finger to its mouth, it will bite, but it doesn't usually bite. This is a pepper bug that eats pepper cores."

With that said, Wu Jiong showed Jian Mo the jagged teeth in the insect's mouth.

Jian Mo couldn't help but asked, "Only eat pepper stamens? What happens after the flowers fade?"

"They also eat grass and leaves." After Wu Jiong finished speaking, he went to the side and pulled out a relatively thick grass stem to string up the worms. "Pepper worms are edible and taste good. Let's take them back."

Insects have always been on the diet of the orcs and sub-orcs. Jian Mo has eaten a lot of insects since he came to this world. He has become accustomed to it and immediately agreed.

Let them continue to pick pepper cores, paying special attention to whether there are pepper core insects inside.

There are so many pepper flowers, even if there are not many pepper flowers inside, you can still find quite a few in such a large area of ​​flowers.

At the end of the day, they found four large clusters of bugs, each containing more than a hundred insects.

There are so many bugs, enough to kill them.

When they returned to the tribe, it was already dark, and many people were eating and chatting in the open space. When they saw them returning with pepper worms, many people came over to watch:

"Pepper worms! Where did you find so many pepper worms? "Insects?"

"I want to eat the pepper worms you caught. I'll look for some tomorrow."

"These worms are delicious, with a bit of pepper odor, and they are fragrant and crispy when roasted. "

"Hey, if I knew you could find so many pepper worms, I would have gone with you today." Jian

Mo looked at everyone's envious eyes and reacted: "These pepper worms are particularly delicious?

" Before answering, Ban Ming rushed to say: "This is one of the most delicious bugs. If you don't catch enough pepper bugs, catch some other bugs and mix them. The taste will be just as good."

Jian Mo: " Then how do you eat it?"

Ban Ming: "Just take off the wings, heads and legs, squeeze out the internal organs, and then bake them."

A Hu, who was next to him, put the big head over and said, "It's also delicious when fried. Fry slowly, don't fry it until it's mushy, it will be bitter."

Jian Mo heard it and said, "It's just the way to eat worms."

Ban Ming stressed, "That's the way to eat worms. Anyway, it's the same way, and it's particularly good. Eat it, even if it is made in one pot, it is the most delicious kind."

After being out for so long, she was already a little hungry. Listening to the onlookers talking about how delicious this kind of insect is, Jian Mo also felt uncomfortable. I can't help but be greedy.

He pushed Wu Jiong home to make dinner.

The bugs are large and relatively easy to deal with.

The two of them worked together and quickly took care of the bugs.

Jian Mo looked at the large basket of worms on hand. He originally thought about saving half of them until tomorrow morning, but then he thought about it, it would not be too fresh if he kept them. Besides, it would be good to make more, half of them chirped and half of them chirped.

It was a hard day for Jiujiu to fly so far on his back, so he had to give it a good reward.

There were half a basket of pepper pistils picked today. While Jian Mo was cooking, Wu Jiong took the pepper pistils outside to dry.

There is no sun at night, but there is wind. When it is not raining, you can take it out to dry and it will be semi-dry in one night.

Jian Mo watched him walking out, and suddenly thought: "Don't leave yet, give me a handful of pepper pods, I will use them to fry pepper pods later."

Wu Jiong: "Use fresh pepper pods to fry?"

Jian Mo: " Give it a try. The pepper pods already have the flavor of pepper pods, so they should taste good when fried together."

Wu Jiong took out a handful of pepper pods and said, "Chi Jiu may feel spicy."

Jian Mo agreed: " Just sprinkle some pepper and salt on the fried portion of Jiujiu's, and only put the pepper stamens on the ones we eat."

Wu Jiong nodded.

Jian Mo first fried it slowly in oil. The pepper worms exuded a unique aroma of protein in the pot. It smelled a bit like chicken and was more delicious than chicken.

He couldn't help but pick one from the pot, blew it to cool down and then threw it into his mouth.

Well, it's really delicious. It's fresh and crispy, with a hint of pepper aroma and spiciness, and a little sweet. It tastes like chicken and shrimp.

After Jian Mo finished eating one, he couldn't help but pinch another one and throw it into his mouth.

It smells so good! So hot!

The heat has arrived and it's time to serve it.

Humming a song, Jian Mo scooped up the pepper worms in the pot, poured out most of the oil, leaving only a little base oil, then threw the pepper worms in and sauteed until fragrant, then returned the pepper worms to the pot to fry.

After frying like this, the aroma will fill the whole house. When it is almost ready, sprinkle a handful of large leaf garlic powder, and the taste will be even more fragrant.

Jian Mo smelled it and felt all her greed aroused.

He asked Wu Jiong to come back quickly for dinner, and then found the wine.

The fruit wine is still not good, and the snow pearl wine still tastes great.

When Jian Mo poured out the wine, he took a shallow sip and narrowed his eyes with pleasure.

Their food is ready, and so is Chiu Chiu's food.

What I prepared for Jiujiu today were fried pepper worms, barbecued meat and a large basket of fresh grass.

Wu Jiong took it to feed, and when he came back, he saw Jian Mo washing his hands, but today he didn't wash them with water, he used oil.

Jian Mo raised his hand and explained: "Some substances are not soluble in water, but are soluble in oil. Chili peppers are a bit spicy, so washing them with oil is much better."

Wu Jiong looked at it: "It's amazing."

Jian Mo: "It's really , come and wash your hands and eat."

The two of them washed their hands with oil and then changed the soap.

After washing up and sitting down at the table, Jian Mo couldn't wait to raise his glass: "Let's have a drink to celebrate our harvest and the delicious dishes we made."

Wu Jiong raised his glass.

Jian Mo took a sip of wine, sighed with satisfaction, picked up the pepper worms with chopsticks and ate them.

The pepper worms are so delicious and crispy that if they were placed on the earth, it would be unreasonable not to sell them for thousands of dollars per plate.

Jian Mo: "Let's see if we can catch some more tomorrow."

Wu Jiong: "Okay."

Jian Mo: "I guess it's fried and put in a clay pot. It can last for ten days and a half. We'll keep it there then. Eat slowly."

They ate in the house, and Jiujiu also ate in the backyard.

This guy has the habit of saving delicious food for last, and it was the same today. It worked hard to finish a large basket of grass, filling its stomach to about seven or eight points.

Immediately afterwards, it ate all the roasted meat, went to the river to drink water, rinsed its mouth, and then started to eat pepper worms.

It likes pepper worms very much, especially these fried and fragrant little bugs. It uses its paws to pull them and throws them into its mouth, one with each paw, which is just a snack for it.

When he got excited after eating, this guy couldn't help but twist his fat ass.

It also had the habit of rubbing its butt against the wall, but it was taught by Jian Mo and Wu Jiong after it rubbed a bald part of the wall.

Today it didn't rub against the wall, but against its own nest.

It didn't notice at all that its nest was no longer so strong after being rubbed for a long time.

Indulging in the delicious food, it habitually bumped its butt against the pillar. Then, the pillar could no longer withstand the double impact of its butt and the ceiling, and it broke directly.

The entire nest lost its support and collapsed directly. With a "bang", a lot of dust was raised.

Jiu Jiu froze, turned around and looked at the entire collapsed nest, dumbfounded.

At the same time, Jian Mo and Wu Jiong, who were enjoying their food, heard a loud noise.

Jian Mo shivered and almost lost the chopsticks in his hand and fell to the table.

"What's wrong?" Jian Mo, who had been drinking, was a little sluggish and couldn't react at all what happened. "Is there thunder?"

Wu Jiong stood up: "In the backyard, something collapsed in the backyard? I'll go over and take a look. Jian Mo

quickly caught up with him: "I'll go with you."

The two of them walked to the backyard, but Chiu Jiu's nest collapsed.

Jiu Jiu was lying in the collapsed nest, with a confused look on his furry face. His big eyes looked to the left and to the right. He couldn't understand what was going on, but his front paws held him firmly. I picked up the rice bowl, but most of the pepper worms in it were not scattered.

Jian Mo looked at it.

It is indeed a food beast.

Seeing the two people coming over, he chirped: "Hey."

He stood up with his paws on the ground and stared blankly at the collapsed nest.

The expression looks a little sad.

Jian Mo checked it and said to Wu Jiong: "Jiu Jiu is not injured. He should be fine."

Wu Jiong patted Jiu Jiu's belly: "Maybe he was scared."

Jian Mo also patted it and comforted it: "It should be, Jiu Jiu Don't be afraid."

Jiujiu came back to her senses and looked at them aggrievedly: "Hey."

Jian Mo patted it again: "It's okay, this nest has been used for so long, it's normal for it to be old."

Wu Jiong said next to him . : "It's just time to change to a sturdy nest. There are so many stones left from building the kitchen before. It's enough to build a nest for it."

Jian Moxiao: "Then let's find someone to come and build it tomorrow."

The materials are basically ready-made. Secondly Today, Jian Mo and Wu Jiong exchanged some lime cement with the tribe, and invited their friends to come over after hunting and gathering in the afternoon to help build a nest.

They have already built a kitchen, and the Jiujiu nest is just like the kitchen, so there is no technical difficulty.

Jian Mo and the others built its nest on the left side of the house, with a larger opening. It was a little higher than the kitchen, but a little shorter than their two-story house.

The effect of building this nest is that the heights are staggered.

Jiujiu liked the new nest very much and kept looking into it.

Before the nest was dry, it tried to get in.

Jian Mo pulled its paw hard: "Wait! Don't rush in, otherwise the new nest will collapse soon."

Jiujiu lowered his eyes pitifully and looked at Jian Mo.

Jian Mo patted its fat belly: "Wait for two more days. You can live outside for these two days. When the nest is dry, I will spread animal skins and hay inside for you. It will definitely be more comfortable than the old nest. "

Chirp: "Chirp."

Jian Mo persuaded and coaxed, and finally calmed this guy down.

In order to give Jiujiu a comfortable nest, Jian Mo and Wu Jiong went a long way to cut the softest hay.

Hay mats on the ground can not only isolate moisture and cold air, but also make the nest softer and more comfortable.

In addition to hay, Jian Mo also put animal skins in its nest. They had a lot of animal skins at home, and there were also a lot of used animal skins. It would be a pity to throw them away, but it would be perfect to use them to make a nest for Chiu Jiu.

Jian Mo quickly arranged it. The young people in the tribe had never seen such a nest before.

On this day, while Jian Mo and Wu Jiong were away, the envious young orcs quietly went to Wu Jiong's house together.

They turned into animal shapes and squeezed into Chiu Jiu's nest one by one:

"It's so beautiful."

"Hey, there are windows. Brother Jian Mo and the patriarch made it so exquisite!"

"It's comfortable inside, and there's a faint scent of grass."

"It's nice to lie down here."

Jiujiu was squeezed out and looked at a A big cat and a dog got into their nest and lay there, barking anxiously.

A big cat swung its tail and propped up its hind legs and chirped: "Don't be so stingy, we'll just lie down and we won't really steal your nest."

Another giant wolf said: "Just lie down and learn . "

Big Fox: "Jiujiu, how about we live with you from now on?"

When Jian Mo came back, he saw a bunch of furry people crowded into Jiujiu's nest, but Jiujiu was pushed outside.

Seeing Jian Mo, Jiujiu immediately turned around and shouted loudly: "Jiujiu!"

This was a complaint.

Jian Mo's head was full of black lines.

The big cats and dogs in Jiujiu's den reacted belatedly and hurriedly explained: "We are just here to learn how to arrange a den."

Ahu, the big orange cat, looked at Jian Mo expectantly: " Brother Jian Mo, do you want to raise an animal? The kind that can talk."

Jian Mo couldn't bear it anymore and stretched out his hand to give the furries in the nest several bursts of chestnuts to drive them out of the chirping nest.

Chiu Jiu looked at Jian Mo with admiration: "Chiu Jiu!"

Chapter 73:

On the day of cooking, Jian Mo went out to collect for a day. When he returned to the tribe, Wu Jiong had not returned yet.

He walked around the house twice. Seeing that the house was in good order and there was nothing to do, he simply sat down, poured himself a glass of boiling water, and drank it slowly.

The sun hasn't completely set yet, so it's still early.

He figured he would just put on his clothes and take a bath in the river later.

It's a bit troublesome to boil water. The weather has warmed up now. With his constitution, it's no problem to take a bath in the river.

Just as he was rummaging through boxes and cabinets to find clothes, someone called him outside: "Brother Jian Mo, are you there?"

"Upstairs." Jian Mo shouted down and walked down holding the clothes, "What's wrong?"

Outside ? His voice became even more excited: "Brother Jian Mo, your customized cauldron is ready, we will deliver it to you."

Jian Mo immediately quickened his pace: "Let me take a look."

Ban Ming and A Hu each carried a large cauldron. Come in: "This is the pot. Take a look to see if it is what you want. If you think it is not suitable, we will send it back and let Dejiang and the others change it."

Jian Mo has been entrusting people from the tribe to make a metal cauldron for some time, but Metal pots have a certain technical content, are difficult to make, and take a long time to make.

During this period, he also went to the production site to draw drawings several times and explained the production methods several times.

This process was particularly difficult, and he was too embarrassed to push it. Mainly, it was useless to push it, so he stopped paying attention to the cauldron for a while.

Unexpectedly, young people would suddenly take the blame to him today.

Jian Mo said in surprise: "Let me see!"

Ban Ming and A Hu placed two large pots in front of Jian Mo: "That's it."

The diameter of these two large pots is more than one meter, and they look like rural areas. It looks like a commonly used cauldron.

His stove has two burners, just enough for two large pots.

Jian Mo walked closer, touched the edge of the pot cherishingly, and then checked it inch by inch.

Generally speaking, the pot is relatively uniform. When you hold it in your hand, no one side is particularly heavy or light. When you touch it with your hand, you can feel that the thickness of the pot body is basically the same.

Both pots have delicate knock marks, probably because they are made from a large piece of iron. There are no gaps in the pots. They feel heavy in the hand and feel very well-made.

It is much more sophisticated than most of the pots Jian Mo has seen on Earth, and the details are particularly fine. You can't touch any burrs with your hands.

Ban Ming observed his expression from the side: "Brother Jian Mo, how are you?"

Jian Mo's eyes were very bright: "Great! This is the pot I want."

Ban Ming: "That's great, everyone I'm afraid you won't like the pot."

Jian Mo: "Why? I've been looking forward to these two pots for a long time. Come on, help me move these two pots to the kitchen."

Everyone, take a look. The two pots went to the kitchen and were placed in the stove hole so that they fit tightly together.

It is indeed a specially customized pot, the quality is good.

Jian Mo couldn't put it down and touched it again, and then said: "Thank you, please help me move the pot outside. I'll open a pot and try it."

Ban Ming: "What is a pot?"

Jian Mo: "Well, it's the first one Before using it for the first time, burn it over fire and then smear it with oil, so that the pot will be more durable and won't stick to the pot when cooking."

Everyone didn't understand at all and looked at Jian Mo with confusion in their eyes.

Jian Mo waved his hand: "I don't know how to explain it, you will know just by looking at it. By the way, help me build a simple fire pit, and I will burn the pot first."

These two pots have iron ears, which are very convenient to pick up.

Jian Mo asked everyone to put the pot into the simple fire pit, and then lit a fire underneath.

He put the pot on top and planned to cook pot after pot.

Everyone didn't leave, just stood around and watched.

Jian Mo first heated the pot until it was red, then brought salt over, put it in the pot and stir-fried it slowly.

After frying, he poured out the salt from the pot, then poured in animal oil, and used a spatula to press the cloth soaked in animal oil, and smeared the inside and outside of the pot, not sparing every corner.

Everyone looked at the side curiously:

"What is the principle of this?"

"Why does it become more durable if you do it once? In this case, is it possible for us to make other metal utensils in this way?"

"Yes, Brother Jian Mo, Do I need to burn my knife and apply it with animal oil?"

Jian Mo hesitated: "I don't know the reason. Maybe only the pot needs to be done this way?"

Everyone asked again.

Jian Mo listened to this question and quickly stretched out his hand to stop: "Stop, I don't know why. This is all experience. This is what the people there do."

Everyone was unwilling, but it was not easy to ask anymore, so they could only gather around Watch the excitement from the side.

After the two pots were boiled, Jian Mo brought water and washed them carefully, and then directed everyone to help move the cooled pots back to the kitchen and put them on the stove.

By this time, Wu Jiong had come back, and more people came to watch, and the kitchen was almost crowded.

Everyone looked at Jian Mo's kitchen, looking left and right, their eyes full of curiosity.

"This is what the kitchen looked like after we got the pot."

"Jian Mo, the pot is ready. Do you want to show us how to use it?" "

What? Does your family also want to make a metal pot?"

"Then No, we don't have that much metal at home. The metal we use for crafting expenses is heavier than the pot. If we have extra metal, we should buy two more knives."

"Hahaha, I think so. It's good to be lively."

Jian Mo saw that they were really curious about what cooking in these two pots would look like, so he said, "Everyone, wait a minute. I'll prepare the side dishes first."

The people around him immediately said, "What side dishes do you want?" Let's do it."

Jian Mo didn't show any politeness to them, and directly ordered out animal meat slices, bacon slices, fresh fish, bird eggs and other ingredients, asking everyone to help wash and cut them.

Soon, all the materials were prepared and the fire in the stove was lit.

Under everyone's watch, Jian Mo started by frying the bacon.

After frying the bacon until it was slightly crispy on the outside, he put in the wild vegetables he had prepared in advance.

With a "sizzling" sound, the wild vegetables suddenly burst into rich fragrance.

Everyone behind Jian Mo said in unison: "Wow -"

Jian Mo's mouth twitched slightly, but the movements of his hands did not stop.

He stir-fried it quickly over high heat. After a few stir-fryings, he took out the fried bacon with wild vegetables and put it into a brown earthenware plate.

At this time, the wild vegetables are still green and covered with a layer of oil, and the bacon is also burnt and smells very attractive.

Amid the expectations of the people around her, Jian Mo picked up the chopsticks and tasted it: "It's okay, pretty much what I thought."

With that said, Jian Mo handed it to Wu Jiong, asking him to taste it, and then pass it on to others to taste.

Everyone is very interested in wild vegetables, and after tasting them, they were even more surprised by the crispness and residue-free vegetables.

Qing Kuo sighed from behind: "It turns out that wild vegetables can taste like this."

Ye Luo also said: "So fresh and tender."

Jian Mo had already washed the pot and was about to fry the animal meat: "There are more fresh ones."

He said to Ban Ming, who was lighting the fire, said: "This time we will have a big fire."

Ban Ming immediately said: "Don't worry, I will definitely not let the fire decrease even a little bit."

The animal meat was cut into thin slices and marinated with starch and pepper powder. It's been prepared, and it's completely different from ordinary animal meat.

Jian Mo put a little more oil in the pot than usual. After the oil came up to temperature, he poured the meat directly into the pot and started frying it quickly.

The blood inside the meat reacted with the oil, and small oil spots popped out.

The people around him were shocked and quickly backed away.

Jian Mo didn't even frown. With the spatula in his hand dancing, he stir-fried the meat and put it on the pottery plate. The whole process only took about ten seconds.

After pouring a spoonful of cold water into the pot to temporarily lower the temperature in the pot, Jian Mo tasted a piece of meat.

The meat slices fried quickly in this way are very tender and can be seen with the naked eye. They are smooth and not full of fiber like grilled ones.

Usually, he can only achieve this tenderness by marinating the meat and then boiling it in water.

However, the boiled version does not have this aroma from stir-frying at all.

Jian Mo was also very satisfied with this dish, so he gave it to Wu Jiong, and after he tasted it, he gave it to others to taste.

After everyone tasted it, they were amazed again.

Except for Jian Mo, no one in the tribe has ever made such tender meat.

Watching Jian Mo fry the meat slices with their own eyes, everyone felt like they were watching magic. After tasting it, they had nothing to say except nodding their heads to express how delicious it was.

Jian Mo then fried fish and scrambled eggs, and under the cheers of everyone in the tribe, he performed a frying of stems, which was equally crispy and delicious.

Every dish Jian Mo made was beyond everyone's expectations.

At first, everyone felt that it was not worth it to spend so much effort to make two pots. After tasting these delicious dishes, everyone said that if there is a lot of metal, it is really good to make two pots to solve the problem of eating. choice.

Not to mention everyone was surprised, Jian Mo himself was also surprised.

These two pots were much easier to use than he imagined, and they were infinitely easier to use than stone slabs and pottery pots.

The dishes with hotpot gas are really delicious.

In the evening, Jian Mo specially washed it from head to toe. After washing away the oil fume, she felt better.

He lamented to Wu Jiong: "I now feel that the luckiest thing I did last year was my trip to the Jintuo tribe. Metal is so useful."

Wu Jiong: "That's why Jintuo is the richest and everyone likes metal. Jian Mo sighed: "

Yeah, I can't help but like it."

In addition to being used as a wok, their two pots can also be used as a cooking pot.

Metal pots are much more durable than ceramic pots and will not crack no matter how you cook them. They are much more convenient for boiling water and making soups than before.

Jian Mo has been immersed in the various wonderful uses of the big iron pot for a while, and he doesn't even think about going out.

On this day, Qing Kuo found him and asked him: "The grass that can be used for dyeing has grown. We are going to collect it in the next two days. Do you want to come with us?"

During this period, Jian Mo spent time with a different collection team every day. I went out to collect all kinds of edible vegetables, but I really didn't notice Qing Kuo.

Jian Mo: "What color can it be dyed?"

Qing Kuo: "Tawny and blue, the colors dyed are different every year. What color is it specifically? I'll pick it up and take a look when I get it."

Jian Mo immediately remembered it. : "Are the pieces of yellow-brown fabric I received dyed with those dyeing grasses?"

Qing Kuo: "Yes, basically those kinds of dyeing grasses."

Jian Mo: "Then I'm going to go, wait for me "

After coming here for so long, Jian Mo has never touched cloth dyeing, and she was very curious for a while.

He put a large basket on his back and changed into old clothes according to Qing Kuo's instructions before setting off with them.

It's a long way to go to where the dyed grass is, and if you're not Qingzhuang, there's no way you can go that far.

Jian Mo followed and walked all the way until his feet almost broke.

They found the first grass that could be dyed in a canyon.

The blades of this kind of grass are larger than Jian Mo's palm, and the whole body is dark blue. He pinches off a blade and rubs it, and the blue juice appears in Jian Mo's palm.

Qing Kuo put down the basket on his back: "Let's start cutting, just leave a leaf in the center."

Everyone nodded and took out the shell knives and started cutting the grass - they were afraid that the grass would stain their beloved metal knives, so they specially changed to shell knives. come out.

Jian Mo took out a metal knife and started cutting too.

The leaves were thick and tender, and they were cut quickly. In a short while, he had cut half of the basket.

There was just too much juice, and his animal skin robe was accidentally stained in several places. Even though he rubbed it with his hands, he couldn't remove the stain.

No wonder I have to wear old clothes when I go out to cut grass. If I wear new clothes, I feel so distressed.

Everyone quickly finished cutting this piece of dyed grass and went on to find the next piece.

Dyed grass grows in the same place every year, so they don't have to spend too much time searching. They just need to go to a specific place and cut it.

Jian Mo walked and stopped all the way, so tired that her buttocks were sore, not to mention her thighs, calves and feet.

After cutting most of the basket of grass, they looked for dyeing fruits that could produce a yellowish-brown color.

Qingkuo said that the dyed fruit cannot be eaten, and the only usable part is its yellow peel.

The weather was not very good last year, and they didn't find much in total. The tribe's fabrics were not dyed very much. They hope it will be better this year.

When Jian Mo rested with his knees propped up, he also hoped that more fruits would grow this year. They came all the way here, and it would be a big loss if they couldn't pick many fruits.

Jian Mo was so tired that she was breathless after walking and stopping. Fortunately, this year's harvest was really good.

They collected a lot of thumb-sized thick-skinned fruits, which should be enough for them to use this time.

After collecting almost everything, they started walking towards the tribe.

Jian Mo almost vomited after walking. At this moment, he missed Jiujiu a little. If Jiujiu carried them here, he wouldn't have to walk so much.

But it's unrealistic to think about it. They went up the mountain and down the valley, crawling in and out of the jungle. Even if they came, they still had to wait outside most of the time.

Moreover, even if Jiujiu carried them here, they would have traveled a lot while searching.

Jian Mo's mind was spinning with messy thoughts, but his feet were walking forward mechanically.

After finally returning to the tribe, everyone immediately sent the dyed grass and dyed fruits to the stone pound, ready to grind them into a paste and use them while they were fresh.

Only then did Jian Mo realize that these two plants that could be used for dyeing were easily oxidized or stale—there was no concept of oxidation here, and everyone just said that the color of plants was easily dull.

They first pounded the dyed grass, then washed the stones and began to pound the dyed fruits.

Everyone divided the work and cooperated, put the pounded dye grass directly into the large earthenware pot, lit a fire and started cooking.

After the juice inside is boiled, everyone puts the fabrics to be dyed into the dyeing pot, and then adds mineral salt to cook the dyeing.

Qing Kuo said that it should be cooked for half a night so that the color will be firm.

Jian Mo was completely unfamiliar with cooking and dyeing, so he followed the instructions and kept helping others.

The amount of fabric his family wanted to dye this time was not much, there were only ten rolls in total, five of which were dyed blue and the other five were dyed tawny.

It wasn't that he didn't have more fabric at home, but he wasn't sure how the dyeing effect would be and whether it would be suitable for further processing after dyeing, so he simply dyed less fabric and planned to wait and see after it was dyed.

They worked for most of the night, and waited until late at night before stopping the fire and letting the fabric soak in the scooped out dye water, planning to get up and look at it the next day.

Jian Mo was so tired that he almost fell down. He had no curiosity at this time. He went home and washed himself briefly before falling asleep.

The next day, Wu Jiong got up first, went to get the fabric from his family, and then went to the river to wash it and hang it to dry in the yard.

When Jian Mo got up, he saw ten pieces of cloth drying in the sun.

The blue fabric actually has a blue-black feel, very similar to the indigo of the earth.

The yellow fabric has an orange-yellow color with a hint of cinnabar, which looks very beautiful.

He didn't expect the dyeing effect to be so good. It was much better than he imagined.

Looking around the cloth, he thought, if the dyeing was of this level every time, they could definitely dye more cloth. It would be a good choice to use it as bed sheets or tablecloths. It would be a good choice to match the fabric with light yellow or hair. The natural color of white should be able to make a good pattern.

After Wu Jiong fed the beast, he went to the front yard and saw Jian Mo looking at the fabric in the yard, and asked: "What's wrong?"

Jian Mo: "I just think the color is really nice, and there are so many left at home. You can dye more fabric."

Wu Jiong: "You can't use it up after dyeing it."

Jian Mo held up the fabric and said, "Why, we need fabric for everything we wear, but we may not have enough. Doing needlework for free, let me think about it, how about giving some fabrics to others as payment and asking others to do it? "

Before Jian Mo came, everyone was used to making all their own supplies by hand. After he came, they often exchanged them with others. Everyone has become accustomed to various exchange modes for various products.

The currency has not been developed yet, but Jian Mo thinks it will be soon. The fabrics and metals currently in circulation are very useful, and everyone will recognize them in any tribe they go to.

Wu Jiong: "Please, it's too tiring for us to do it alone."

The two of them make the handicrafts at home together, and there is no division of labor between orcs or sub-orcs. The two often weave and sew clothes together.

Jian Mo's patience is relatively poor, and he is even worse than Wu Jiong in weaving and making clothes.

Jian Mo: "I think so too. I'll go find Qing Kuo later to see if he's free. If not, I'll look for Min Dang and Ye Luo."

Chapter 74 Violent Bird

Human beings are born to pursue beautiful things, even people in the orc world are the same.

Although it was very hard to find dyes, everyone still climbed up and down to find a lot of dyes and dyed pieces of light-colored fabrics into yellowish brown or blue.

During the dyeing process, Jian Mo discovered that the color of indigo fabric was very stable, and it basically came out this color every time.

The tawny color is different. Sometimes it comes out more orange, sometimes more yellowish brown, and one time it's light yellow, and the product is very unstable.

Jian Mo is not very familiar with dyeing cloth, but he has seen a lot.

After dyeing it several times, Jian Mo remembered the tie-dying process on earth and taught the people in the tribe how to tie-dye.

The technique of tie-dying is not difficult. The main thing is to tie up the areas you don't want to dye, or cover them with objects and tie them up. Finally, leave the areas you don't want to dye to form a pattern.

Jian Mo couldn't find substances like beeswax, so he experimented several times and found that hairy root starch worked well, so he led everyone to use hairy root starch to tie-dye.

When it comes to art, Ye Luo and the others are much better at it than Jian Mo. They quickly turned their backs on others and came up with various beautiful patterns.

Jian Mo followed and learned a lot, and finally entrusted Ye Luo and the others to help them dye together.

There are only two people in Jian Mo's family and there is not much fabric to dye.

After collecting dyes several times, he moved to other collection groups.

Relatively speaking, he is still more interested in food.

In the evening, Jian Mo, who had returned from collecting, finished his chores at home and prepared the side dishes. Seeing that Wu Jiong's hunting team had not returned yet, he went to the stone pound to help pound today's dye.

Zhou Fu saw him coming, straightened up and asked, "Why are you free to come here today?"

Jian Mo: "I came here right after I finished my chores at home."

Zhou Fu: "Is that so fast? Didn't your collection team just come here?" Are you back soon? Don't you need to mow Jiujiu's grass today?"

Jian Mo shook his head: "Jiujiu was taken out by Ban Ming and the others today. They will be responsible for feeding him. We will just give him a meal later."

Zhou Fu said. I said, why are you free today? Hey, don't pound it, just help me pick out the leaves. The dyed leaves age very quickly. Some of the leaves picked today are very old and don't have any juice in them. You can pick them out and put them in. Take it aside."

Jian Mo walked to the basket and picked up a handful of dyed leaves.

The dyed leaves are indeed a bit old, they are pricked in the hand, and the leaves are also much larger. They are much older than when he first picked them and could get a handful of juice with just one pinch.

He pulled it, picked out those dyed leaves with particularly thick meridians, and put them aside.

Soon, all the dyed leaves were picked.

Jian Mo packed up the batch of old dye leaves and asked, "How to get these dye leaves?"

Zhou Fu looked up and said casually: "Just throw it in the forest, it's of no use."

Jian Mo pinched it , I picked it up all the way and brought it back. There was a lot of sweat in it. It would be a pity to throw it away in vain.

He looked at the leaf with very clear veins in his hand, and suddenly an idea came to him - this leaf shape is quite beautiful, I wonder if it can be printed on clothes?

Jian Mo raised his head and asked Zhou Fu: "Can you give me these unwanted leaves?"

Zhou Fu: "Of course you can, take them if you want them. What do you want these for?"

Jian Mo: "Print them on clothes."

Zhou Fu: Fu was startled: "It's printed on clothes? How weird is that!"

Jian Mo smiled: "Why is it weird? The texture of the leaves is so beautiful."

Farewell to Zhou Fu, Jian Mo took half a basket of dyed leaves home. .

He searched on the second floor and found a roll of linen-colored fabric. He took the fabric and dyeing leaves to the yard and prepared for rubbings.

He had never done rubbings before, but he only had a general idea of ​​the process.

He thought for a moment, spread the cloth flat on the ground in the yard, sandwiched the dye leaves between the two pieces of cloth, and placed flat stones under the cloth.

After laying the cushion, he picked up a stone and knocked it carefully where Someye was.

The juice from the dyed leaves is knocked out and printed on the fabric, creating a very impactful leaf pattern.

It looks a little blurry, but it doesn't matter, it looks pretty good.

As soon as Wu Jiong came back, he saw him making fabric in the yard and asked, "What are you doing?"

Jian Mo looked up and said, "Printing leaves on the fabric, come over and have a look."

Wu Jiong walked over and carefully After looking at it: "It looks good."

Jian Mo looked at the pattern-printed fabric underneath with satisfaction: "I think it's good, too."

After the pattern-printed fabric dried, Jian Mo tried to fix the color with salt water.

After washing, Jian Mo saw that the lines of the leaves were still on the fabric - it was a success.

The fabric printed in this way really looked good. Jian Mo took the fabric with satisfaction and asked Qing Kuo to help make two sets of pajamas.

Qing Kuo looked at it carefully and said: "What a beautiful pattern. You always have a lot of wonderful ideas."

Jian Mo: "I didn't come up with it. There are people over there who do this. I used it as a reference. It's a pity that I don't know What process went wrong? The lines are a bit faded. The original lines should be very clear and beautiful."

Qing Kuo didn't notice the fade at all and said to Jian Mo, "I think it looks good enough. It's very special."

Jian Mo: "I'll think about it then. You make two sets of pajamas for us first, one for me and one for Wu Jiong. Do I need to give you the size?"

Qing Kuo waved his hand: "I'll take a look at the two of you. You can see your figure, what size do you want?"

After the pajamas were made, everyone looked at the large leaf patterns on the pajamas and came over to watch.

The leaf pattern is really pretty and brings a different style to the pajamas. The tribe has never dyed similar fabrics.

Jian Mo looked at the finished clothes and felt a little more satisfied in her heart. Just looking at the fabric, she might think the lines were a bit light, but looking at the finished clothes, she felt they were okay.

The pattern is clear and has a clear beauty, and the light color has a light beauty.

Everyone thought that the rubbing pattern was very beautiful, and it was completely different from the pattern formed by tie-dying, so they came together with the fabrics to ask Jian Mo for advice.

This isn't anything particularly technical.

Jian Mo has taught everything he can, but just looking at the patterns everyone rubbed, he still feels they are a bit unclear.

Seeing that he was struggling with this matter, Wu Jiong asked: "Maybe it's because there is no boiling process?"

Jian Mo subconsciously retorted: "If it is boiled, the newly printed pattern will definitely be discolored..."

Halfway through the words, Jian Mo Suddenly I realized, if the texture will fade when boiled, what about steaming it?

They have large iron pots, but unlike the previous earthenware pots, the pot would crack if it was steamed casually.

The more Jian Mo thought about it, the more he thought it was feasible. He put his arms around Wu Jiong's shoulders and kissed him: "You are such a genius! I'll get ready right now!"

Since it was going to be steamed in a pot, Jian Mo directly put the fabric into water to wet it, then picked it up and twisted it until it was half dry, and then used dyeing leaves to make rubbings.

This time he did not take out the dyeing leaves, but directly rolled the fabric and leaves into a roll and steamed them in an iron pot over water.

After steaming it for half a night, he took out the fabric. When he opened it, he found that the lines on it were much clearer, and the veins on it were especially beautiful.

Jian Mo showed the fabric to Wu Jiong: "It's really good. The fabric I originally wanted looked like this."

Wu Jiong picked it up and looked at the brightly colored and clear-textured fabric, and felt that it was better than before: "Look It looks more beautiful."

Jian Mo: "Yes! I think so too. It's very artistic. After two days, I picked up other leaves and flowers and printed them on the fabric together.

" The dyed leaves and fruits are very good dyes. Squeeze out the juice and concentrate it, then soak the flowers or leaves into the dye solution, and then print it on clothes.

The dyeing effect is very good and the patterns are diverse.

Jian Mo was very interested in fabrics and experimented for a long time.

Many people in the tribe followed his experiments and eventually dyed a large number of fabrics with various patterns or leaf patterns.

The colors of this batch of fabrics are brighter, the textures are clearer, and they look quite artistic.

Everyone loved this batch of fabrics and cut them into various kinds of clothes.

The low-key texture is indeed beautiful. When turned into clothes, it is not eye-catching and just makes people feel special.

They wore patterned clothes and went out to hunt and gather. Gradually, people from several surrounding tribes knew about it and loved their fabrics so much that they formed teams and brought fabrics with them to exchange for dyed fabrics.

Jian Mo and the others had just made a batch of clothes, and the fabric at home was slightly reduced. After this exchange, the fabric increased greatly and filled the cabinet again.

He doesn't have a collecting habit, but he couldn't help but be happy when he saw the cabinet full of fabrics.

At least this year, they won't be short of fabric.

The growth rate of plants is very fast, and the total growth time of dyed leaves and dyed fruits is only more than ten days. After that, the dyed fruits disappear, and the dyed leaves are still usable, but the quality is much worse.

Jian Mo stopped experimenting and turned his focus back to collecting food.

On this day, when Jian Mo was resting, Ban Ming and several others came over and asked Jian Mo: "Brother Jian Mo, do you want to go pick up bird eggs with us tomorrow?"

Jian Mo asked doubtfully: "In the tribe Aren't you allowed to collect bird eggs in spring? "

Spring is the breeding season for birds. If you pick up bird eggs at this time, they will not be able to hatch the next generation.

For tribes who make a living by collecting, it is a great pity that no birds will hatch in the spring, and naturally no birds will be hunted for food in the summer and autumn.

Ban Ming said mysteriously: "That kind of bird is different."

Jian Mo: "How different is it?"

Ban Ming: "Brother Jian Mo, you know that birds lay eggs and hatch them together, right?" Jian Mo: "Brother Jian Mo, you know that birds lay eggs and hatch them together,

right ?" Mo nodded, he was also a veterinarian after all, he learned it when he was in school.

When a bird egg is laid and does not hatch immediately, it will fall into a dormant period and remain fresh for a period of time. So birds usually save their eggs and hatch them together after they have accumulated a certain number.

Ban Ming: "The bird we are looking for will hatch five eggs every time. If there are not five eggs in the nest, it will lay five eggs and then hatch again. So we can lay eggs under it." When there are three or four eggs, just touch two of them and wait for them to continue laying."

Jian Mo felt very surprised: "Can this be done?"

Ban Ming: "Of course you can. The eggs won't affect it at all, and it won't react. But if you touch it too much, it won't be able to lay any more. When it gets upset, it will push all the eggs in the nest outside and break them. "

Jian Mo: "It sounds pretty irritable."

Ban Ming showed his big white teeth and said, "Yes, its name is Thunderbird. How about it? Brother Jian Mo, do you want to go with us? Call the clan leader." Jian Mo

smiled: "I'll tell him, okay?"

Ban Ming: "It's okay, but it's best not to go out together. I always feel uncomfortable going out with the clan leader."

: "Okay, then I'll tell him not to go out together."

Ban Ming nodded: "That's okay. We have found the location, just over Baishazhou. You can tell the clan leader that it is very safe there. "There are no dangerous creatures."

Jian Mo told Wu Jiong that night.

Wu Jiong said: "The violent bird is indeed good. Its eggs are also fresh, but it is more fierce and can peck people."

Jian Mo: "It doesn't matter, I will go with Ban Ming and the others. Xilu and the others are also here, so it shouldn't really happen. " What's going on? Isn't the violent bird big?"

Wu Jiong: "It's about the same size as the purple bird we have eaten."

Jian Mo knew that it was as big as a duck: "That's okay, it's bigger than us. It's much smaller, so it shouldn't cause any serious consequences."

Wu Jiong: "Then you go ahead, I'll tell Ban Ming."

Jian Mo: "Okay, let me get some more eggs and fry them for you. Eat bird eggs. "

Chapter 75 Prawn

The next morning, Ban Ming and his friends were waiting in the yard of Jian Mo's house.

Looking at Wu Jiong's cold eyes, they regretfully gave up their plan to have breakfast and only had two pots of tea.

Jian Mo has great expectations for poaching bird eggs. When he was a child, he often went to the mountains to poach birds and went down to the river to catch fish. As an adult, he did not do many related activities. It was only after he came to the orc world that he resumed his childhood hobby. .

Not just him, everyone is looking forward to picking out bird eggs.

When setting off, the young people ran faster than the other. Jian Mo sat on Ban Ming's back and held the back of his neck tightly to prevent him from being thrown off.

When they arrived at the destination, Jian Mo's hands were so sore before he even started working.

The place where they dug out the eggs was a peninsula in the lake.

This lake is quite big, with several rivers converging here. It is a very beautiful freshwater lake.

Half of the lake at the junction of them and the Yigu tribe belongs to them, and half belongs to the Yigu tribe. The two tribes often come here for hunting and gathering.

I'm very lucky today, only a group of them came here.

When she arrived at the place, before she started searching carefully, Jian Mo glanced over and saw many bird nests in the bushes. Some bird nests were directly placed on the ground, with the blue-white eggs inside exposed in front of everyone's eyes.

Jian Mo looked at it several times and felt that his palms were itchy.

As the leader of the team, Ban Ming emphasized a few words to everyone before starting to pick out bird eggs: "Everyone picks out bird eggs in human form. If anything goes wrong, run away immediately. Don't follow these birds." Let's fight."

Everyone nodded seriously and agreed.

Jian Mo was a little surprised: "Why can't we start a fight? Because we went out to pick out bird eggs today, are we at fault?"

Ban Ming shook his head honestly: "That's not the case. If we accidentally start a fight and destroy the bird's nest, this group of violent birds may be in trouble in the future. I will never come here to lay eggs again. It's a shame not to have a fixed place to feed."

Ahu added next to him: "If the tribe knew that we had disturbed the birds by digging out the eggs, they would drive the birds away . He will be beaten."

Jian Mo: "Who? Wu Jiong?"

Ban Ming: "It's mainly my father and the others who beat me. The clan leader usually doesn't care about such trivial matters, but you don't know that my father and the others will be beaten. My sense of smell is so sensitive that bathing is useless."

Jian Mo heard what they said and suddenly asked, "You haven't been beaten for destroying a bird's nest, right?"

Several orcs laughed in unison, and Xi Lu said, holding back her laughter. "That's for sure. Everyone's escape route has been summarized."

Ban Ming coughed lightly: "Nothing has happened yet, so let's not discuss the issue of whether to be beaten or not. Let's divide into groups and start digging out bird eggs. "Remember, you can only get two eggs from each nest. If there are only two eggs in the nest, you can only get one."

Everyone agreed and quickly formed a group with those who played well. Team.

Jian Mo teamed up with Ban Ming and A Hu. Before everyone separated, he stopped the young people with the baskets and gave them the hay in the baskets.

With hay as a buffer, the eggs are less likely to break when placed in the basket.

After everyone divided the hay and tried it, they all praised Jian Mo's method.

Ban Ming first set up a branch next to the bush as a mark to signal their arrival.

That way, when the people of the Yigu tribe see that the branches are still fresh, they will know that they have dug out the eggs.

There are bird nests everywhere here, and Jian Mo quickly found a bunch of them.

When he picked out the eggs, he was very careful, only taking the one he wanted to take away, and trying not to touch other eggs with his hands, so as not to leave a smell.

Ban Ming and A Hu were digging nearby, and put the eggs they found into his basket.

Occasionally they would encounter a violent bird in its nest, and they would just pass it by without provoking him in person to avoid being pecked by the bird.

The Tyrannosaurus is quite big, and the eggs it lays are also big. Jian Mo feels they are a little bigger than duck eggs, but not as big as goose eggs.

The shells of these eggs are quite hard, much harder than ordinary egg shells, hard and thick.

Probably because the thick eggshell can better protect the fertilized eggs inside, making it easier for them to survive in nature.

While they were digging out bird eggs, more and more birds were startled and began to scream uneasily.

Ban Ming looked back and hurriedly called to the others: "Let's speed up, it will be bad when the birds come back."

I don't know what happened to his crow's beak. As soon as he finished speaking, a bird suddenly chirped for a long time.

When they looked up again, they saw that the birds that had returned from going out and the birds that stayed on the sandbank had gathered together. These little birds found their companions and immediately became fierce, flapping their wings and flying over to peck them.

Ban Ming was shocked: "Run, run quickly!"

Before Jian Mo could say anything, Ban Ming had already transformed back into his animal form, turned around and picked up the basket with eggs in his mouth, and disappeared into the jungle in twos and twos. .

Jian Mo was originally holding the basket in one hand, but when he grabbed it in his mouth, he staggered and almost fell down.

Before he could react further, the bird had already flown over and pecked at him.

What is this luck?

Jian Mo quickly protected his head and face and ran in the other direction.

The bird refused to let go, slapping and pecking at him, instantly reminding him of the fear of being dominated by the goose when he was a child.

Just when Jian Mo didn't know which direction to run, a long-haired orange cat ran over behind him, holding his collar in its mouth and running to the other side.

They ran wildly, crossing the lake and wading the river. They ran for who knows how long, and finally arrived in a grassy field. There were only three or two violent birds behind, and they ran away after a short chase.

Everyone was so tired that a group of big cats, big dogs, and Gaia orcs were lying on the grass in a mess.

After lying down for a while, Ban Ming reluctantly got up and started counting people: "One, two, three...seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, okay, everyone is here, everyone is not hurt, right?"

Xi Lu lazily raised his hand Hand: "Not injured, just a little tired."

Ban Ming: "It's okay, let's take a rest here."

With that, Ban Ming checked the basket.

I don't know whether it was the withered grass inside that was useful or the thick shell of the bird's eggs. He ran such a long distance and the eggs in the basket were almost not broken.

Ban Ming said proudly: "It seems that my running skills have improved again. I run really fast and smoothly, and the eggs are still in good condition."

Jian Mo lay on the grass and looked at him, and sneered: "Silly Cat, that's because I put dry grass in it."

Ban Ming: "??"

Jian Mo: "What?"

Ban Ming said carefully, "Brother Jian Mo, you seem a bit fierce today. "

Jian Mo sighed and didn't want to pay attention to him at all.

Ah Hu laughed so hard beside him: "That's because when the bird came just now, you took the basket from Brother Jian Mo's hand and completely ignored Brother Jian Mo, causing Brother Jian Mo to be pecked by the bird."

Ban Ming was careful. Explanation: "Isn't that because you are still here? I thought you would grab Brother Jian Mo, so I grabbed the basket first."

Jian Mo was not angry, but he missed Wu Jiong very much. He sighed, not bothering to continue the topic.

Jian Mo had been running so hard just now that she was sweating all over. She was often hit by branches and grass blades on the road, and her body was covered with various juices.

After resting for a while and recovering, Jian Mo stood up and went to the river to wash his face.

Xilu and the others got up and went together.

There is a river next to it. The river here is not deep, just a stone river. It is probably formed by the melted water of the snow-capped mountains.

Jian Mo reached out and touched the water. The water was so ice-cold that her hand bones ached.

However, it was very comfortable to wash her face with this water. After washing her face a few times, Jian Mo felt much refreshed. She sat comfortably on the stone and took a long breath.

Xilu also finished washing and sat on the stone next to her to rest: "Brother Jian Mo, is this your first time running like this?"

Jian Mo thought for a while: "No, I was chased by other animals when I was a child. "

When he was a child, he and his friends in the village were often chased by dogs, which was more exciting.

Xi Lu was curious: "What animal?"

Jian Mo couldn't explain it clearly, so he said, "The animals that are unique to our area are quite ferocious when provoked and can bite people."

The two of them were talking while the others washed their faces one after another.

There is a gentle breeze here, and it is quite comfortable to sit in the sun. No one is very willing to move.

Jian Mo stared at the stream for a while, and suddenly found fish swimming in the stream.

The fish in such streams are generally more delicious than the fish in big rivers or lakes. They are very delicious and have no fishy smell.

Jian Mo became interested: "Let me see if I can catch some fish."

Xi Lu stood up: "I will catch it with you."

Now Jian Mo can be considered a good fish catcher. The stream is not deep, so he can catch fish. It was more convenient, and he caught two after a while.

When he caught it again, he saw not only fish but also translucent shrimp in the stream. He was instantly overjoyed: "Look, there are shrimps."

Xilu came over and took a look: "It's quite big, maybe it came from the lake. "

Jian Mo: "It's possible, I'll catch some shrimps."

Jian Mo hasn't eaten shrimps for a long time, and thought there were no shrimps near the riverside tribe, but he didn't expect to see them suddenly today.

Shrimps don't swim very fast and are much easier to catch than fish. As long as you can see them, you can probably catch them.

Jian Mo struck again and again and soon caught more than ten shrimps.

Everyone came to catch them together. After catching the nearby shrimps, they saw that they could not catch any more in a short time, so they put the shrimps in the basket and prepared to return to the tribe.

Don't even think about picking out bird eggs again. The tyrannosaurus was disturbed once, and it must be waiting in the nest now. If they go again, there will be no other gain except being pecked by the bird.

It's better to go back to the tribe directly, collect some things on the way, and the results of this trip will be very satisfactory.

It's a bit urgent when you arrive, but you don't have to be in a hurry when you return.

When Jian Mo and the others returned to the tribe, the sun had not yet set and most of the people had not returned yet.

They handed over some of the eggs to the tribe, and divided the other eggs and returned them to their families.

In addition to the bird eggs, Jian Mo also got all the shrimps - most people in the tribe thought the shrimps tasted strange and didn't like eating them very much.

He collected the shrimps, thanked everyone, and took them home to make fried prawns.

The shrimps caught today were so clean that you couldn't even see any shrimp threads. After Jian Mo washed them, he put them in the oil pan and fried them directly.

There is no ketchup here, so he plans to just fry it until fragrant, add some paprika and the like, and simmer it to make a home-cooked dish.

While he was cooking, Wu Jiong came back and Qing Kuo came over.

As soon as he walked into the kitchen, Qing Kuo said: "It smells so good!"

Jian Mo: "I'm making shrimps. I'll stay for dinner later."

Qing Kuo waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, no, I'll go home to eat later. Di Ya should have prepared the food."

Jian Moxiao: "Let them eat by themselves."

Qing Kuo: "No need. I came here to ask about Tao Glaze, that's the Tianning tribe. The tribe that is particularly good at making pottery has also made pottery glaze and said that they want to communicate with us. "

Jian Mo is not particularly good at human relations. He thought for a while: "This tribe can decide, I don't have any objection."

Qing . Kuo: "If there is no problem with you, then we will communicate with the people of the Tianning tribe and see if we can learn some of their techniques."

Jian Mo nodded: "Okay, let me see the type of pottery they made. It's really rich and the overall shape is beautiful."

Qing Kuo: "We think so too. It's hard to learn. Let's learn a little bit from it."

While the two of them were talking, the shrimps in the pot were already simmering.

Jian Mo put the shrimps in a large pottery pot. Qing Kuo looked at them and said, "You also put algae in to cook?"

"Yes, I want to eat some vegetables." Jian Mo said and tasted it with chopsticks. I think the taste is okay.

Qing Kuo: "Would it be unpalatable when cooked like this?"

Jian Mo shook his head: "Of course not, it's delicious. Do you want to try it?"

Qing Kuo stared at the prawns: "I'll give it a try."

Jian Mo said He took another pair of chopsticks and a plate and asked him to pick up prawns and algae to eat.

Qing Kuo's family has also cooked prawns, and the prawns made by Jian Mo are indeed delicious, but whatever he cooks is delicious, so it is not surprising that the prawns taste good.

What surprised Qing Kuo was the algae he made. The algae was crispy, refreshing, and very tasty. It was not at all bland and fishy like the algae made by others.

Qing Kuo was surprised: "How do you make this algae? Sometimes I simmer it in meat, but it doesn't taste like this."

Jian Mo: "I didn't simmer it. I just simmered the shrimp and put it in to stir-fry. " After a while, stir-fry it and put it out. It's not fishy because I blanch it in water in advance, then pick it up and marinate it with various seasonings. "

Qing Kuo: "I'll tell you what. So crispy and delicious?"

Jian Moxiao: "If you don't like the taste, you can try boiling it. The taste will be lighter after boiling.

"

Qing Kuo came here specially to say that people from the Tianning tribe were coming. Jian Mo thought that he would see Peng Xi again, but who knew that it was not Peng Xi who came, but the older people from the Tianning tribe.

Jian Mo understands this. Sometimes young people don't pay enough attention and tend to leak secrets. It would be better for reliable parents to come and communicate.

There was an empty house in the tribe, so Qing Kuo arranged for people from the Tianning tribe to live there, and left a few people who were good at pottery skills to communicate while the rest of the tribe continued to hunt and gather.

Jian Mo's pottery skills were very average, and he had no interest in improving his skills, so he gave up.

On the contrary, the people of the Tianning tribe were very interested in him. They even came to visit him in the evening of the day they arrived at the riverside tribe, asking him to help check his health and deal with some minor problems.

As for charging items, Jian Mo refuses to accept anyone who comes.

They check it at the small clinic.

After chatting for a while, everyone became familiar with each other. Peng Xi's father Huan Yu asked about precautions.

Jian Mo really hadn't thought about this. After thinking about it for a while, he said, "Our tribe is quite friendly. There is nothing that requires special attention. If you really go to a place that you cannot go, the patrolling orcs will remind you."

Huan Yu smiled and nodded in agreement: "The atmosphere in your tribe is indeed good."

Jian Mo also smiled: "That's right. If you have to pay attention, maybe the little guys in our tribe are a little naughty and will take the initiative to come over and play with others. See you Come on, if you don't want to pay attention, just walk away with a straight face."

Another sub-orc behind Huan Yu asked, "What does it matter if the cub is naughty? The cubs of any tribe are quite naughty."

Jian Mo agreed, so did he. I've been here for so long and I've never seen a kid who wasn't naughty.

Soon, Jian Mo checked their bodies for them.

These people are all in good health, there are no major problems, and there is nothing that can be treated. I can only pay more attention to them in the future.

After Jian Mo finished checking, he asked them to go back.

When people from the Tianning tribe returned to their temporary residence, they discussed:

"Doctor Jian Mo looks quite serious. I didn't expect him to be so friendly in person."

"I think he is worthy of the legendary Dr. Jian Mo. His temperament is really extraordinary."

" Huan Yu, is it Dr. Jian Mo that Peng Xi and the others met? Do you think he has any seasoning powder available? I want to change it too.

"Hahaha, why didn't you take the opportunity to ask just now?

" Dare you! He is obviously very good, but I just didn't dare to say anything. I always felt that it was very strange to ask this in a small clinic..."

They were chatting together, but they didn't notice when they were stopped by a group of cubs.

In addition to kittens, wolf cubs, fox cubs, etc., there was also a chubby flying winged beast behind them.

The flying wing beast obviously played with these cubs.

The cubs looked at this group of strange adults curiously.

Especially the flying-winged beast, not only was it not afraid when it saw people, it even extended its big head over and rubbed Huanyu.

Perhaps because the Huanyu family also raised a flying-winged beast, this flying-winged beast smelled the scent of its companion.

Huan Yu was so rubbed that she couldn't laugh or cry. She finally understood why Jian Mo said that if she didn't like it, she would just go around it. It turned out that she was not going around the cub, but the flying-winged beast.

They are all flying-winged beasts. This flying-winged beast's eyes are particularly clear and not aggressive at all.

You can tell by looking at it that it is well-raised.

Huan Yu couldn't help but scratched the flying winged beast's chin: "Hey, this big guy."

The flying winged beast saw Huan Yu's liking and was very happy: "Chirp!"

Huan Yu interacted with it for a while, and gently He pushed it lightly and said, "Let's play."

The flying-winged beast chirped twice more and followed the cubs in the tribe to the side to play.

Huan Yu watched the backs of these guys, turned around and said to his friends: "Just ask him directly next time, I think Dr. Jian Mo has a good temper."

Someone who can raise a flying winged beast to be so fat can have such a bad temper. Where to go?

Chapter 76: New Fangzi

People from the Tianning tribe live in the tribe and bring many new things to the tribe, such as new cooking methods, new clothing making methods, new gathering techniques, etc.

The most special thing among them is their method of making pottery.

They have a special clay formula, a special glaze mud formula, and they are also unique in the shape of the vessels.

Jian Mo passed by their pottery making place one day and saw the pottery blanks they placed under the shade of a tree. He was immediately struck by the stretched shapes of the pots.

Although they all look similar to bottles and jars, the pottery they make is more open and full of vitality. When placed under the shade of a tree, it gives people a beautiful enjoyment.

Jian Mo said to Wu Jiong in private: "The people of the Tianning tribe are really amazing, especially Huan Yu. I think the pottery they make seems to be casually made, and it seems to breathe after making it."

Wu Jiong: "Yes. Ah, they are the best pottery-making tribe in the area."

Jian Mo sighed: "Each tribe has its own strengths, it's so awesome."

The people of the Tianning tribe are so good at making pottery, Jian Mo said. He commissioned them to make a batch of bottles and jars, especially some of the shapes of plates and vases, which Jian Mo wanted but couldn't make.

People from the Tianning tribe were also amazed when they saw Jian Mo's commission.

Huan Yu looked at the pattern he drew on the wooden board and couldn't help but said: "They are all the same brain. I don't know what your brain is thinking, but you can come up with such a beautiful shape."

Jian Mo waved his hand: "It's really not the case . We have what I came up with, and I have tried to make it before, but my hands seemed to be disobedient, and the things I made were all twisted, and I couldn't bake

this kind of pottery no matter what. It needs to be made of harder clay, otherwise it won't be able to be shaped."

Jian Mo sighed: "I can't do it anymore, so I can only ask you."

Huan Yu: "Just leave it to us, we will definitely do it before we leave . Burn it for you."

Jian Mo: "Then I'll wait. As for the reward, can I use three pieces of finished pottery on one roll of fabric?"

Huan Yu refused: "No, you can teach us these pottery shapes. It's been a long time since you made the clay, the kiln and the pottery, and we didn't pay anything."

Jian Mo insisted, "It's better to take it."

The two parties finally agreed, and Jian Mo exchanged one roll of cloth for five. One piece of pottery, and two more for small utensils.

This is the result of mutual humility between both parties, and everyone is very satisfied.

After knowing the news, Qing Kuo told Jian Mo: "They really like making pottery, and they even specially changed our charcoal recipe. I guess they are also very happy about your commission."

Jian Mo didn't pay much attention to the exchange between the two tribes. : "What did they use in exchange for the charcoal prescription?"

Qing Kuo showed his white teeth and said with a little pride: "Metal. Just like the Jintuo tribe, they used metal in exchange."

Jian Mo was surprised: "They also produce metal there?"

Qingkuo: "No, but they exchange a lot of metal with the Jintuo tribe, and they can exchange part of it for our charcoal."

Looking at the slips, Qingkuo said, "Pottery is a consumable, and the Jintuo tribe has to exchange it with us every year. They exchanged a lot."

Jian Mo: "That's it."

Qing Kuo: "According to your previous agreement with the tribe, you will exchange half of the materials for charcoal and other formulas, and I will have them transported to you. We need to go to the cave for supplies. It's just that we exchanged pottery skills with the Tianning tribe, and they didn't have as much metal as the Jintuo tribe, so in the end we only negotiated a price of 150 baskets."

Jian Mo nodded in understanding: "This is already very good. If we don't change it, they may find someone else to change it."

Qing Kuo smiled: "We think so too, so we should change it as soon as possible."

Jian Mo: "I don't have the energy to pay attention to this. Press As I said before, you can make the decision."

In any case, Jian Mo was quite happy to have a large amount of metal put into the warehouse.

In this era, metal is an absolute hard currency and can be easily exchanged for anything.

After entrusting people from the Tianning tribe to make pottery, Jian Mo spent more time dealing with them.

On this day, Jian Mo went to see them and saw them boiling a kind of stem in a clay pot in front of the stone house where they were staying. After looking closely at it, Jian Mo couldn't help but said: "This kind of stem is poisonous and cannot be eaten. "

This is the root of a vine, just like peanuts. It is round and small and looks very attractive. In fact, it has a strange sweet and bitter taste and is not edible.

Jian Mo specifically asked Qing Kuo and the others and said that they would get headaches and nausea after eating it, and it was obviously poisonous.

The orc man who was cooking the stems looked up and smiled: "This is not for eating, but for use."

Jian Mo asked with interest: "How to use it, can you tell me?"

The orc man: "What's there? No? This medicine is very effective for treating abscesses. It removes the poison quickly.

"When it comes to diseases, do any of you have abscesses?"

The orc man said: "No, it's just a little bit. " I'm not used to it, just use some medicine."

Seeing Jian Mo's insistent look, the orc man finally gave in, took off his animal skin sandals, and showed him the instep: "This is the abscess."

Jian Mo knelt down and looked carefully. There is a small hard pimple under the skin of the sub-orc's foot. It is a little red and swollen, but it doesn't look serious and has not yet suppurated.

For abscesses in this state, either use medicine to eliminate them as soon as possible, or wait until they grow to a certain stage and cut the epidermis to squeeze out the pus and blood.

Jian Mo looked at it carefully and said, "It's okay, not too serious. We also have herbal medicine here that can be applied."

The orc man replied, "I know, but our herbal medicine is more effective. It can pull out the pus and close it in two or three days." "

Jian Mo has never used this kind of herb and doesn't know its effect. After hearing what he said, he nodded: "It's good to use your recipe."

The orc man grinned: "This is ours . "It's an old recipe."

Jian Mo was quite interested in the new herbal medicine and asked the people in the Riverside Tribe.

Qingkuo and the others didn't know that the roots of this vine could also cure abscesses.

Only Min Dang, who had lived in the Mengshui tribe, told Jian Mo that this kind of stem can cure abscesses, but it is very poisonous. After applying it, not only the abscesses will rot and pus will ooze, but the surrounding skin will also rot. However, He had only heard of it but did not know the recipe.

Jian Mo didn't know that this happened, so he went back to see the people from the Tianning tribe.

The people in the Tianning tribe have a good relationship with him, and they don't hide from him.

Jian Mo saw with his own eyes that the area where the stems were applied was rotten, and it looked quite serious.

The people of the Tianning tribe didn't care at all: "It's okay. If it's rotten, it's rotten. The mouth will be scabbed in two days, which is much better than abscesses that last ten days and a half."

Jian Mo sighed: "You guys This is a powerful medicine."

The people from the Tianning tribe said, "Never mind it, as long as it can be cured quickly and well."

Jian Mo: "How do you use it? Just boil it, or do you need to add something? I would like to use supplies in exchange for your recipe."

This is not a secret recipe, the tribe over there in Tianning uses this recipe.

They discussed it and finally exchanged three rolls of cloth for the prescription to Jian Mo.

The root of this kind of vine - Spring Thunder Egg, is dug out in spring, boiled with white soil ground from stones and then applied to the area where abscesses occur. This will quickly make the abscesses fester and close, preventing them from growing into A large amount of pus accumulates under the skin.

Jian Mo had treated the abscess on the back of Taiyan, the cub of the Red Feral Tribe, which was a condition where the abscess developed to an advanced stage and caused serious infection.

This recipe still makes sense, but the medicine is a bit strong.

However, a stronger medicine is better than causing serious consequences.

Jian Mo couldn't understand.

After changing the recipe, Jian Mo simply took Wu Jiong to dig up more Spring Thunder Eggs and prepare them - people from the Tianning tribe said that if you dig them up in spring and put them in a cool and dry place, they can be used all year round.

They just dig it up and put it in a cave. It should last for a whole year.

In addition to spring thunder eggs, people from the Tianning tribe also taught them to identify the mineral soil called white soil. Jian Mo didn't know what mineral it was. Anyway, it was soft and could be found in the mountains.

He also dug some and kept them in the cave.

In addition to these two materials, Jian Mo also dug up a lot of their medicine for treating abscesses.

When he has nothing to do, he studies the matching at home.

Qing Kuo came to visit occasionally and saw that he was still researching, so he asked curiously: "Are you still working on these medicines?"

Jian Mo: "I have nothing to do anyway, I will try to study it."

Qing Kuo: "Then you Has the research been done?"

Jian Mo shook his head: "Not yet. I have only found a way to make the Spring Thunder Egg less harmful to the skin, but I haven't determined the efficacy yet."

As for how to find it, it depends on Jian Mo's family. The beast of burden.

He used various recipes for the beasts of burden. The first version of the recipe - that is, the Tianning tribe's recipe of spring thunder eggs and white soil. Once used on the beasts of burden, the beast's skin would ulcerate.

The improved version of the prescription, even if he used it on the beast for several days, the skin of the beast would still be intact.

Even if the beast of burden didn't develop abscess, he didn't know how effective the treatment would be.

In theory it should still be effective.

Qing Kuo heard what he said and said casually: "You want to know, isn't it enough to just find someone to treat you? In this season, there are a lot of people with abscesses."

Jian Mo: "Why?"

Qing Kuo: "It's so cold in winter. It's dry and cold, and spring is warm and humid. Many people are not accustomed to the climate. Wouldn't this lead to abscesses? Really, if you want to find someone, wait until we meet people from other tribes when we go out to collect, and let them spread the word. Just pass it on."

Jian Mo thought for a while and said, "That's okay. Please help me pass it on. If anyone has abscesses, they can come to me directly. I'll use the improved version first. If it doesn't work, I'll change it to Tian. The Ning Tribe's prescription will not accept supplies no matter which plan is used."

Qing Kuo: "With your words, there should be more people coming to you."

Jian Mo: "That's good, I hope so . I can help."

New things have been coming out of the River Tribe since last fall.

Everyone was very concerned about their tribe, and the news about their tribe quickly spread to several nearby tribes.

The first people to come to Jian Mo were the people from the Hongxiu tribe.

The little cub Taiyan of their tribe almost died because of abscesses, and he was saved after being stabbed in the back.

People who had seen the consequences with their own eyes took this matter particularly seriously, and they also trusted Jian Mo, so they rushed over early as soon as they heard the news.

Jian Mo had met many of them before, and there was no unfamiliar feeling between them. After a few words of greeting, he helped them look at their abscesses.

Abscesses can appear almost all over the body, from the top of the head to the soles of the feet, anywhere.

They were very embarrassed when it grew in a relatively private part. The sub-orcs were okay, the orcs had to change into beast form to show it to Jian Mo.

Jian Mo was very calm and whatever everyone said was what he said.

After applying the medicine, the people of the Hongxi tribe discussed privately:

"Doctor Jian Mo looks more and more - well, I don't know how to describe it."

"It's a pity that Dr. Jian Mo is already with their clan leader. Otherwise, I really want to chase him."

"I feel weak when I see him."

"It's a bit scary, but he is so good-looking."

Of course, Jian Mo knew what everyone was talking about. But I didn't take it to heart.

Doctors mostly give people this feeling.

The animals he treats on Earth actually feel a little scared when they see him.

Needless to say, cats and dogs with relatively high IQs will bark loudly when they see him, and even parrots will flap their wings and want to run away when they see him.

It's just that these little guys can't speak, so they can't tell him specific feelings.

Although orcs and sub-orcs can respond in time, the essence is the same.

Compared to everyone's feelings, Jian Mo was more concerned about Xin Fangzi's performance.

He didn't realize that although the new prescription he developed was still relatively crude, it was already a further manifestation of his professional ability.

Even in the orc world, his professional abilities have been improving.

Chapter 77: Armor Pulling Technique

The news that Jian Mo had created a new drug spread further and further, and many people came to him in groups to see it.

Curing abscesses is one thing. Most of the people who came here wanted to see what the riverside tribe had become. It would be better if they could change some things along the way.

In the era of collecting, everyone is not very busy, and everyone can still squeeze in time to watch the excitement.

That afternoon, Jian Mo went out to collect food and came back. The orcs patrolling in the tribe told him that a group of people from the Heroic Tribe came over and wanted to see him for abscesses. They were waiting at the small clinic.

When Jian Mo went to the small clinic, there were indeed many people in the small clinic.

Ban Ming was sitting in the middle of the crowd, introducing the Riverside Tribe to the people of the Heroic Tribe. His sweetheart Amon was sitting opposite him. The two of them said a few words and looked at each other laughing. Even if the people around them booed, they could not eliminate their smiles. .

Jian Mo knocked on the door and entered, and they came back to their senses.

Ban Ming happily introduced to Jian Mo: "Brother Jian Mo, Amon and the others want to come to you to check for abscesses."

Jian Mo: "No problem, who is sick?"

An orc in the crowd stood up and said, "Me."

Jian Mo: "Let me take a look, are there any abscesses?"

Orc: "The back. Doctor Jian Mo, what is the fee for your treatment now?"

Jian Mo asked him to take off his upper body robe and looked carefully: "For abscesses, you don't need anything. After treatment, just tell me how you feel about the treatment."

The abscess on the orc's back was already relatively large. He lowered his head and grinned under Jian Mo's pressure: "Thank you, Doctor Jian Mo. Jian Mo: "

You're welcome. Okay, this is just an ordinary little abscess. I'll give you a bottle of medicated oil later. Just go back and apply it. Come back to me the day after tomorrow."

The medicated oil is Chun Lei . It is extracted from eggs and contains active ingredients, but the medicinal effect is not as powerful as using spring thunder eggs and white soil alone.

Jian Mo felt that the medicated oil was very useful, but he had to listen to more patients' comments on how effective it was. He could not say.

After Jian Mo gave the medicine to the orc, the orc got dressed and said, "Doctor Jian Mo, I have a friend who is an orc from the tribe next door to us. His claws are suppurating. Can he come to you for treatment?"

Jian Mo said. A well-used instrument, he asked: "Why did it become septic? Is he sick or accidentally injured?"

The orc was not sure: "It must have been accidentally injured? I only knew that he was injured, and I didn't ask in detail."

Jian Mo said: "Then you ask him to come to me. I will know if it can be cured."

The orc said: "Okay, I will ask someone to tell him when I get back."

Jian Mo did not let this matter go . In my mind, there have been too many people consulting him for treatment recently. Some people will come later, and some people just disappear. They may have recovered on their own, or they may have found someone else to deal with it or they have gotten used to it.

Jian Mo's schedule was still the same as usual. Most of the time he went out to collect with others, and a small part of the time he went out alone with Wu Jiong.

Occasionally, he would ask Ye Luo and the others to go outside to pick some herbs.

Just when he had almost forgotten about the orc with suppurating claws, the other person and his own race suddenly found him.

The orc introduced himself: "Doctor Jian Mo, my name is Ruda. I am an orc from the Haizuo tribe. Jiu Heng asked me to come over and have a look."

Jian Mo didn't remember who "Jiu Heng" was for a moment. He heard that he was an orc from the Xiongying tribe. Only then did he realize: "Are you the orc with the injured claw?"

Ruda smiled bitterly: "Yes, it's me."

Jian Mo: "Let me see which claw is injured. Can you change back to the beast form?"

Ruda Shaking his head: "It hurts too much. I can't change it. Can I take the human form? What I injured is my right hind paw, which is my right foot."

Jian Mo: "

Let me take a look." Ruda took off the animal skin in front of Jian Mo. sandals.

Jian Mo saw at a glance that the big toe of his right foot was black, and the skin where the toenail was was a little atrophied, and the pus and blood underneath could be clearly seen.

In addition to the black color, there is also a peculiar smell, which doesn't look good.

Jian Mo: "Wait a minute, let me take a closer look."

Ruda nodded quickly: "Thank you for your hard work, Doctor Jian Mo."

With that, Jian Mo found the mask, gloves, etc., put them on carefully, and brought salt water for disinfection.

He only had salt water on hand, so he had to make do with it. Fortunately, disinfecting the epidermis didn't cause too much pain.

He observed Ruda's expression while operating, his movements were quick and light.

After taking a look, Jian Mo was basically sure that the nail bed was necrotic.

Jian Mo said to Ruda: "In this case, you may have to pull out your nails, remove the pus and blood inside, and then let them grow new nails."

Ruda gasped and said, "You really have to pull them out. ?"

Jian Mo touched his foot with tweezers: "You see, the flesh and blood have shrunk, and there is serious pus inside. If there is no other way, it may never heal, or even the whole foot will suffer. Ruda said bitterly: "

Our experienced elders also suggested that I pull it out, but it was too painful and I couldn't do it."

Jian Mo: "I have anesthesia here, it should be better.

" Da: "What is an anesthetic?"

Jian Mo looked at him: "It's something that will make you sleepy after drinking it. When you fall asleep, I will help you pull out your nails, remove the pus inside, and then disinfect them. , it won't hurt too much when you wake up."

Ruda and his companion looked at each other, both of them were frightened by this description.

Seeing their hesitation, Jian Mo said, "Think about it, and then call me if you decide to pull it out." Ruda quickly said, "Pull it out, Dr. Jian Mo, you can help me pull it out, I've decided." Jian Mo: "

Pull it out. "

Okay, let me tell you the specific process and possible consequences first."

Jian Mo told Ruda and his companions all the precautions and made the consequences clear.

Jian Mo told them that they would only receive treatment if they could accept the worst outcome, lest something really happened and lead to hostility between two people or even two tribes, and the consequences would be serious.

Ruda has been suffering from toenail suppuration for a long time, and now she finally has a chance to solve it. Ruda gritted his teeth and finally agreed to Jian Mo's plan, saying in front of his companions that he would not resent Jian Mo no matter what.

Ruda took a deep breath and said, "I really can't stand it. Even if I die, I have to deal with this toe."

Jian Mo saw that he was so frightened that he comforted him and said, "It's not that serious. I'm just talking about the worst outcome, accident." It usually doesn't happen."

Ruda showed a smile that looked like she was crying: "Then it's hard work, Doctor Jian Mo."

Jian Mo: "It's better to make arrangements today."

Jian Mo called Wu Jiong to help . , Ruda was soon numbed with anesthetic.

Nail extraction is a simple minor surgery. Jian Mo has done it on both kittens and puppies. On Earth, local anesthesia would be enough.

There is no corresponding injection here, so Jian Mo can only let Ruda sleep for a while and then deal with his toe.

Despite this, Jian Mo only spent more than ten minutes to gently separate his toenails, completely separate the entire toenail, rinse the pus and blood, and then bandage it.

He was supposed to apply medicine, but he didn't have the right medicine in his hand.

The risk of using herbal medicine was too great, so Jian Mo could only simply bandage it and let Ruda's own immunity take over.

External application is not possible. Herbal medicine is too risky for such a large wound. However, drinking anti-inflammatory herbal medicine is okay. For such a small operation, Jian Mo estimates that it will not be a big problem.

Ruda woke up at night and his companion stayed with him.

Seeing that he was awake, his companion followed Jian Mo's instructions and came over to call Jian Mo overnight.

Jian Mo put on clothes and went to see Ruda accompanied by Wu Jiong.

As soon as they met, Ruda moved her toes and said, "Dr. Jian Mo, my toes are healed and I feel very relaxed. Now I don't feel any pain when I bend my toes."

Jian Mo: "That's because there is no pus. The blood pressure, don't touch it yet."

Ruda giggled: "Okay."

Jian Mo checked and said, "It seems to be in good condition. It's not a big problem for you, so don't worry."

Ruda smiled . Even more stupid: "Then you scared me before you pulled out your toenails."

Jian Mo: "You have to explain all the accidents clearly, otherwise if something happens, the consequences will be serious."

After the inspection, Jian Mo said Mo said: "There should be no problem. You guys have a good sleep here and I'll come over tomorrow morning. If anything happens in the middle of the night, you can call me."

Ruda and his companions agreed.

Early the next morning, the first thing Jian Mo did after getting up and washing was to go see Ruda.

After a whole night of recovery, Ruda's condition looked better, and there was no sign of inflammation, redness or swelling on her toes.

Jian Mo didn't know whether it was because the temperature was low in spring or because the orcs' healing abilities were so good. Seeing this, she felt relieved for Ruda.

If you are in such good condition, you won't have to suffer so much in the future.

Ruda was also proud of his condition. He had made all kinds of psychological preparations and was ready to accept all misfortunes. Unexpectedly, when he finally came down, he felt no pain or itching at all. He felt much better than when his nails were broken before.

After thanking Jian Mo repeatedly, he happily asked: "Doctor Jian Mo, what reward do you want?"

Jian Mo: "This is just a small problem for you. Just give me something of equal value to three rolls of cloth. It doesn't have to be cloth, I prefer other things than cloth."

Ruda: "No problem, I'll ask people from my tribe to help deliver it."

Jian Mo: "It's not a hurry. I can deliver it after you are well." You don't need to stay here. You can go back after you drink the medicine."

Ruda nodded vigorously: "Thank you, Doctor Jian Mo!"

Ruda felt so relaxed. After returning to the tribe, he only rested for five days. He brought the supplies and came to the riverside tribe with his companions to thank Jian Mo: "Doctor Jian Mo, I brought you eggs and meat."

Jian Mo: "Thank you, how are your toes?"

Ruda : "It's much better, and a little nails have grown."

After saying that, Ruda showed Jian Mo the eggs and meat in the basket: "This is the meat of the arrow bone beast, it tastes good."

Jian Mo knew that in winter, When they used salt to catch the arrow-bone beast, Ruda unexpectedly sent it over: "Isn't the arrow-bone beast particularly difficult to catch?" Ruda

grinned: "I can make traps, and I can catch this kind of beast accurately. Dr. Jian Mo, please give it a try. If you like it, you can send it to me and I will send it to you. "

Jian Mo: "Thank you."

Jian looked at the meat and eggs in the basket. Mo soon found a packet of seeds wrapped in cloth underneath.

He was a little surprised and looked up at Ruda.

Ruda showed a somewhat proud smile: "I see that Dr. Jian Mo, you have planted things by the river, and you should like this wild vegetable very much."

Jian Mo looked at the sesame-sized seeds: "Is this a wild vegetable seed?"

Ruda nodded. : "A particularly tender wild vegetable. When it grows up, Dr. Jian Mo, you can pull out its young shoots and eat them. It is best to eat it before its leaves turn green. It is most delicious at that time. Use hot water. It can be eaten as soon as it is boiled. If it is bigger, it will have a bitter taste and the taste will not be that good."

Jian Mo was moved when he heard what he said. "You also grow things there?"

Ruda: "Yes, but not so much. You plant a lot here, and you don't specifically fence the land with walls or fences. We just plant them in front of and behind the house."

Jian Mo: "We only plant delicious crops, right?"

Ruda nodded.

Jian Mo thought for a while and asked him: "Have you ever eaten or seen a crop with a special fragrance?"

Jian Mo wanted to ask Ruda for news about green onions. If there are similar plants, spring should be the time when green onions grow. The season of success.

He rummaged around, found charcoal and wooden boards, and drew green onions with a few simple strokes: "This is this crop, we call it green onions."

Chapter 78 Mushroom Circle

Ruda and his companions carefully looked at what Jian Mo drew, and finally shook their heads, saying that they had never seen or heard of plants similar to shallots.

Jian Mo gave up and asked them: "Are there any crops that are used as spices?"

Ruda scratched his head and said: "Our two tribes are so close. If there are such good spices, your tribe must have heard of them. Speaking of spices, generally speaking, we have them, you have them too, nothing special."

Jian Mo could only regret it, "Forget it."

Ruda's companion said, "Doctor Jian Mo, how about you . Give us this board. If we see it or get any information, we will tell you."

After thanking them, Jian Mo handed the board over.

There was no news from Xiao Cong, and the spring rain fell first.

It rained one after another, and the weather was hot and cold. When it was cold, you had to light a charcoal pot, but when it was hot, you only needed to wear a short robe or a short apron.

As the rain falls, there are more plants to collect outside.

Especially all kinds of mushrooms.

Jian Mo didn't know that there were so many kinds of mushrooms here, white, black, yellow, red, green, blue... They could pick mushrooms almost every day.

He followed the tribe to pick for a long time, but he couldn't identify all the mushrooms, and occasionally he couldn't identify the poisonous mushrooms.

Qing Kuo and the others were very worried when they saw this situation, and told Jian Mo to show the mushrooms he picked up to everyone, or take them back to Wu Jiong to show them before they could eat them.

Jian Mo looked at their serious looks and agreed seriously.

It's not like he's short-sighted. I definitely won't mess around with this.

Qing Kuo explained: "It's not that I don't trust you, but there are people who are poisoned every year. You have to be careful."

People who are poisoned must be under the care of doctors. Jian Mo asked: "Are the poisoned people serious? Are there any death cases?"

Qing Kuo glanced at him: "Orcs are quite difficult to poison, and sub-orcs are also quite tough. Generally speaking, it won't be too serious, but that may not be the case if it happens to you. Your health is not that good, so it may be serious. "

Jian Mo reiterated: "I will not eat mushrooms randomly."

Qing Kuo: "I will tell you this a few times."

The tribe not only told Jian Mo this, but also told the cubs. They warned them not to eat indiscriminately.

The cubs obediently agreed.

Jian Mo looked at it and sighed in her heart. In some aspects, people's education is quite adequate.

They picked up a lot of mushrooms, and they have been eating a lot of them these days.

On this day, Jian Mo took out the mushrooms from the basket on his back and prepared to cook. Wu Jiong stood beside him and looked at the mushrooms several times.

Jian Mo laughed when he saw it: "Don't look at it, no matter how you look at it, it will not turn into another mushroom."

Wu Jiong moved his eyes away, fell on Jian Mo's face, and asked with his eyes, why is it still this kind of mushroom?

Jian Mo shrugged: "I can't help it. This kind of mushroom is the most common in the forest, and I can't pick up all of them."

I don't know why there are very few delicious mushrooms, but the mushrooms with mediocre taste are growing one after another. Come out.

They sauté mushrooms, stew mushrooms, serve them as main dishes or side dishes these days, and they are indeed a bit tired of eating them.

Jian Mo thought for a while: "We won't use the usual method today. I'll change it."

Wu Jiong: "Fried mushrooms? Or stuffed mushrooms?"

Jian Mo knew that he liked these two ways of eating: "Neither, I plan to Fry it in butter. Add milk and pepper later. If you want to change it,

Wu Jiong said, "Let's fry it in butter."

Jian Mo said, "Then help with the fire."

Someone was helping to light the wood stove, so Jian Mo didn't have to worry about both ends.

Wu Jiong sat in front of the stove and lit the hay inside with a fire stick: "Should the fire be bigger or smaller?"

Jian Mo: "An ordinary fire is enough, and it doesn't need to be particularly big."

Wu Jiong nodded and put the fire in the stove The fire burned ragingly.

Jian Mo put a piece of butter into the pot and sprinkled a handful of pepper stamens. After frying until fragrant, he poured the mushrooms over.

The metal pot conducts heat very quickly, and the mushrooms soften directly in the pot and exude moisture.

Jian Mo stir-fried quickly, and the flavors of the peppers and mushrooms came out, releasing a rich aroma.

Seeing that the mushrooms were almost cooked, he added half a bowl of milk from the beast of burden and set the fire to reduce the juice.

In addition to mushrooms, he also fried meat patties, boiled animal meat, and added a bone soup.

There are three dishes and one soup. Except for mushrooms, they are all their favorite dishes.

Jian Mo brought the dish to the table and called to Wu Jiong: "Try the mushrooms first and see if you like this recipe?"

Wu Jiong picked up a small piece and put it in his mouth.

Jian Mo observed his expression: "How is it?"

Wu Jiong looked surprised: "It's quite delicious."

Jian Mo smiled: "Yeah, this is a relatively classic recipe in our place."

Jian Mo said and tasted a piece.

After adding butter and milk to the mushrooms, the mild astringency is completely removed. The taste of milk and pepper give it a wonderful sense of thickness. When you eat it, the taste is very layered, perfectly combining the taste of the mushrooms. The umami flavor is highlighted.

It is indeed a very delicious mushroom dish.

After the two of them finished eating, they took the specially reserved vegetables to Chiu Jiu and brought a large basket of grass for it.

Jiujiu smelled the delicious smell and jumped around excitedly.

Jian Mo patted its neck lightly: "Don't worry, no one is trying to snatch it from you."

Tweeted and nuzzled Jian Mo: "Tweeted, Tweeted!"

He shouted, and looked up at the sky, seeming to have decided to do something. kind of thing.

Jian Mo didn't notice this small detail.

Unexpectedly, after Jian Mo fed Jiu Jiu the next day, Jiu Jiu suddenly held his collar in his mouth: "Jiu Jiu."

Jian Mo quickly reached out for his collar and tried to snatch it from under Jiu Jiu's mouth: "Jiu Jiu, you The saliva——"

Jiujiu grabbed his collar and didn't let go, dragging him to the side.

Jian Mo, who was very familiar with it, knew it right away: "You want to take me somewhere, right?"

Tweet loudly: "Tweet."

Jian Mo: "Wait a minute, I'll call Wu Jiong over, and we'll go together. "

Jiujiu let go of his collar and nudged him with her big head: "Jiujiu."

Jian Mo came out of Jiujiu's nest and called home: "Wu Jiong - come on, Jiujiu is taking us somewhere. "

Wu Jiong walked out: "Where are you going?"

Jian Moxiao: "I really can't guess this, just follow me."

Wu Jiong: "I'll tell the tribe first."

After telling the tribe, they climbed on Chiu Jiu's back.

Jiu Jiu ran forward two steps, flapped his wings and flew directly.

They flew all the way southwest.

There are snow-capped mountains in the southwest, and the mountains are relatively high. Jian Mo rarely goes there to collect, but Wu Jiong and the others often go there to hunt.

Chiujiu took them flying forward, and after flying over the mountain, they hovered above the mountain.

Jian Mo firmly grasped the reins on Jiujiu and looked down. There was an alpine meadow underneath.

The meadow stretches out, and the grass has grown. It looks pretty good, but I don't know why Jiujiu brought them here?

After circling for a while, Jiujiu finally seemed to have determined the place, and led them to swoop down, land on a piece of grass, and settle down.

Jian Mo and Wu Jiong climbed down from it.

Jian Mo rubbed his calves that were numb from sitting cross-legged and looked around.

The grass here is still shallow and just covers their feet. It looks like there is nothing. I don't know why Chiujiu brought them here?

Just when Jian Mo was confused, Wu Jiong looked in front of him: "There seems to be a mushroom."

Jian Mo's eyes widened: "Where is it? I don't think I saw it."

Before Wu Jiong could answer, Jiu Jiong jumped happily in front of him. , and looked back at Jian Mo and Wu Jiong: "Chirp!"

Jian Mo: "You want us to come forward?"

Jiujiu shouted happily again: "Chirp——"

After walking more than ten meters, Jiujiu was at In confusion, Jian Mo used his big head to rub open the newly grown grass, took a mushroom in his mouth and showed it to them: "Tweet, Tweet!"

Jian Mo then discovered that there were dots of white in the grass, and he picked it up and took a look. , it is a chubby mushroom!

Chirp chirped again, chewing the mushroom in his mouth.

Jian Mo moved forward and dug away the grass, only to find that there were mushrooms underneath.

This place is simply a nest of mushrooms. You can pick them all accurately. There are many more mushrooms than they usually pick in the forest.

Jian Mo stood up straight and looked around.

And this is a mushroom that no one else knows about and is entirely theirs.

Jian Mo searched for a long time and said with emotion: "There are really many mushrooms, and the white mushrooms are more delicious! How could Jiujiu find so many?"

Wu Jiong: "Maybe it was its secret mushroom place. It used to live alone in the wild. Maybe he will come here to pick it up when the time comes."

Jian Mo was stunned for a moment and looked back at Jiujiu.

Jiujiu blinked her big eyes, met his gaze, and flapped her wings proudly: "Chiujiu!"

Jian Mo sniffed and said to Jiujiu: "You are so quick to share your secret mushroom field with us? "

To survive in the wild, hunting and gathering places are a big deal, and ordinary animals won't share them with their companions at all. Jiujiu is willing to share it with them, which shows that it is true love.

Jian Mo couldn't help but rushed over, reached out and hugged Chiu Jiu: "Thank you Jiu Jiu."

After understanding this sentence, Jiu Jiu jumped on the spot with bright eyes: "Chiu Jiu!"

There are really many mushrooms here, dotted with stars, Circle after circle, it looks like someone planted it here.

Jian Mo dug up the grass and picked the mushrooms gently while patting the caps of the mushrooms.

I hope that when I come back next time, the spores I photographed have grown into new mushrooms.

Jiujiu accompanies them to pick them, chewing two flowers from time to time.

Jian Mo glanced at Jiujiu, put the mushroom under his nose and smelled it.

The mushrooms had a sweet taste, which made him a little excited, but he still didn't dare to eat them directly.

His stomach is not as strong as Chiu Chiu. Even if he is not poisoned after eating it, it will still be very painful if he has diarrhea or something.

Jian Mo went from squatting to sitting down to pick. The basket at hand gradually filled up, but there were still many mushrooms nearby.

He said with some regret: "It's a pity, there are so many rotten mushrooms."

Some of these rotten mushrooms withered and rotted naturally, while others were eaten by birds and insects and slowly rotted away.

Wu Jiong: "It will grow again if it is rotten. Just pick it again in two days."

Jian Mo thought about it and said, "The rotten mushrooms can be used as fertilizer for other mushrooms."

The two of them picked two large baskets of mushrooms in total. There are so many mushrooms, and there are still many that have not been harvested.

After they returned, they came over for two more harvests, and then maintained the pattern of harvesting every three days.

After picking for ten days, the mushrooms in this alpine meadow slowly went out of season and were no longer available, so Jian Mo and the others stopped coming.

There were so many mushrooms collected during this period that even with Jiu Jiu, I couldn't eat them all.

Jian Mo put these mushrooms in the yard to dry in the sun and turned them into dried mushrooms.

After drying, the aroma of the mushrooms is concentrated and has a different flavor.

After this period of good weather, it started to rain again in most places in the Riverside Tribe, and it continued to rain continuously.

Everyone has been tired for a long time, so we might as well take this opportunity to have a good rest.

Jian Mo has no interest in parties, chatting, singing, etc.

There were so many mushrooms at home, and his hands were itchy, so he simply picked out the dried mushrooms, soaked them, cut them into fine dices, and slowly fried them with lean meat in a pan. During the frying process, he added clam powder and pepper stamens. , boiled into mushroom sauce.

Their mushroom sauce is so fragrant that the entire tribe can smell it.

Zhou Fu and others came over together to help out and learn how to make mushroom sauce from Jian Mo.

This is not anything special. Jian Mo taught them generously. Someone just happened to help out and they could make a little more sauce.

Zhou Fu took a spoon and tasted a spoonful, staring at the newly baked mushroom sauce: "The mushroom sauce is so delicious. How do you want to eat it? Can you eat it directly as a dish?"

Jian Mo: "You can also eat it as a dish. It tastes better if it is cooked. The bland stems, one mouthful of stems and one mouthful of sauce, should taste good, but I thought about putting it in a jar and using it when I'm hungry when hunting or gathering. Eat it with dipping sauce." Zhou Fu couldn't help but said,

"If I took it out, I would definitely be hungry before I could bear it."

I was thinking about it as soon as I left the tribe and had no intention of hunting or gathering." Jian Moxiao

: "Then Wu Jiong and I should have the determination."

Zhou Fu: "How long can this sauce be kept?"

He thought: "It shouldn't be a problem if they are completely dried out for a month. I will put them in a clay pot later, steam them in a pot, and then put them in a cool place."

Zhou Zhou Fu: "What's the point of this?"

Jian Mo: "Just kill the microorganisms mixed in and extend the shelf life."

No one understood this time and looked at Jian Mo with confusion.

Jian Mo didn't explain much: "If you want to make sauce, just follow the steps. It's probably this step."

Zhou Fu immediately said: "The sauce I make is not as delicious as yours. Even if I make it, it is a waste of materials. Can I just bring the materials over and exchange sauce with you?"

They are all from my own tribe. Jian Mo nodded: " Okay, bring the ingredients and I'll replace them with half of the sauce."

Zhou Fu cheered up and said, "Wait for me, I'll get it right away."

Xi Lu and others said, "Brother Jian Mo, we will too. "Yes."

Jian Mo waved: "Then you go and get it. We will make another batch when we come back."

Every household in the tribe has a lot of animal meat, shellfish, mushrooms and other food. Those who don't want to bother can just take it. Come over and switch to mushroom sauce with Jian Mo.

Jian Mo didn't mind either. The ingredients were ready. All he had to do was cook it. It was so simple. It happened to be a rainy day when there was no place to go, so he could earn a little more food.

Their Wujiong and Jiujiu are both delicious, so it's always a good idea to prepare more.

Especially tweets.

Winged beasts are omnivores and can eat basically anything.

The tribe borne half of Jiujiu's food, but it was impossible to give it meat directly. Most of the time, it was given some grass, wild vegetables, and not-so-palatable stems.

The winged beasts in the wild also eat this way, and it's not even as good as the food provided by the riverside tribe. The tribe doesn't treat Jiu Jiu badly by doing this.

They can't resist tweeting and are greedy, and they especially like to eat food cooked by humans. Jian Mo and Wu Jiong are under a lot of pressure if they want to supply more.

Change some more food, just in time to feed Jiu Jiu.

Jian Mo and the others were raised carefully, and Jiujiu also grew up well, with shiny and smooth fur.

Jian Mo had never seen the flying winged beasts in the wild and could not compare them, but they had seen the flying winged beasts of the Tianning tribe with their own eyes.

The flying winged beast of Tianning tribe is only half the size of Jiujiu. Its body is far less strong than Jiujiu, and it is not as lively and cute as Jiujiu.

Despite this, everyone already feels that the flying winged beast raised by the Tianning tribe is pretty good.

It can be seen that raising flying winged beasts in this era is really not an easy task.

It's not safe to go outside on rainy days, and it's uncomfortable to get caught in the rain.

Jian Mo and the others had enough food, so they didn't go out much.

There are many people who don't mind and still go out on rainy days.

Especially other tribes, everyone couldn't stay in the tribe, so they went to the riverside tribe to exchange pottery.

Many tribesmen think that the pottery of the Riverside Tribe is beautiful and watertight, and it is much more cost-effective to come here to exchange it than to make it themselves - many tribes have a low success rate in firing pottery, with many cracks and high costs.

The riverside tribes are also happy to have other tribes come in exchange for it. Collecting wood, clay and the like is not an easy task, and if they use a little less, it will be much easier for them if other tribes are willing to carry it over.

Overall, everyone is quite satisfied with the exchange.

After visiting the Riverside Tribe more often, everyone gradually discovered that in addition to exchanging things directly with the Riverside Tribe, it was also good to exchange some food with Jian Mo.

Especially the mushroom sauce, fried fish cubes, fried meat cubes, etc. made by Jian Mo are very fragrant and delicious, much better than ordinary food.

Jian Mo's family doesn't need to change many things. If you bring a piece of material, you can exchange for about one-third of the finished product.

Because after the finished product is made, it will shrink to half or less. This exchange is very cost-effective. After all, if a person with poor craftsmanship holds the materials in his hands, the food he makes will not taste good, and he may have to throw it all away. .

Jian Mo liked it when other tribes came to exchange things. It would be better if they could bring some special messages.

On this day, when the people from the Hongxiu tribe came to change, they asked about the shallots:

"Doctor Jian Mo, are you really looking for that kind of shallots?"

"Can we also help find them?"

"Yes, we I can also ask for help. If I find it, can I bring it to you to exchange for something?"

Jian Mo smiled and asked, "What do you want to exchange for?"

"Knife!" Without hesitation, he said, "Metal knife!"

They asked Jian Mo, "If we find spring onions, can we come over and exchange the knife with you?"

Jian Mo smiled: "Then it depends on how many spring onions you bring to exchange. Two pellets are definitely not enough, but one basket and two baskets is absolutely fine."

The people from the Hongxi tribe were even more excited: "We are already asking about it. If we find it, we will bring it to you immediately."

Jian Mo: "Okay. , if I can change it, I will definitely not let you suffer. "

Chapter 79

There is no news about alcoholic shallots yet, Jian Mo's noodle fruit wine has been brewed first.

On this day, he just opened the pottery jar on a whim. Unexpectedly, there was a strong smell of wine in the pottery jar, and the noodles and fruits were all fermented and floating on the upper part of the jar.

He scooped it up with a spoon and tasted it. The wine tasted very strong, much stronger than fruit wine.

Even though the odor of nutmeg in the wine is still very strong, with a bit of bitterness from the nutmeg, it tastes very unpleasant and does not make people enjoy it at all.

Jian Mo reluctantly tasted it and quickly rinsed her mouth with cold water.

Wu Jiong watched with him: "You can't drink this wine."

Jian Mo: "It's okay, it's not for drinking, we can just use it. Get ready, I want to steam the wine."

Wu Jiong: " Steam it to make the alcohol you are talking about?"

Jian Mo nodded: "It can be used to make alcohol, or it can be used as high-quality liquor for cooking. We will see how to make it later. "

The process of distilling wine is not difficult, and it mainly relies on alcohol. It is different from the boiling point of water.

The boiling point of alcohol is only over 70 degrees Celsius under normal temperature and pressure, which is much lower than water. They can be separated by a little steaming.

It happens that they have a large iron pot at home. After cleaning it, pour the wine into it and slowly steam it. Then cover it with a lid and use a ceramic tube as a condensation tube to separate the alcohol and water.

Jian Mo had been waiting for this batch of alcohol for too long, so he didn't delay at all. After breakfast, he told the tribe and stayed at home to start steaming the wine.

They steamed two large vats of wine from morning until late at night before completing the first distillation.

There is still a lot of water vapor in the distilled wine, so the alcohol content should not be high.

Jian Mo tasted it and could taste the bitter alcoholic flavor and faint fruity flavor inside. It didn't taste as bad as the morning, but it still didn't taste good.

Jian Mo hasn't had any contact with alcohol since he came here. After just one spoonful of alcohol, his face turned completely red and he felt a little dizzy.

Wu Jiong put his arms around him: "This drinking capacity is too bad."

Jian Mo raised his eyes and smiled: "I think it's not bad, it's not that bad. I just have a bad face, and I'm still sober now."

Wu Jiong raised his eyes and smiled. She pressed her forehead against his and said, "My forehead is also very hot. I'll make you a cup of honey water."

Jian Mo grabbed his collar, smiled and moved closer to him, and whispered, "Stop soaking, go to sleep." Just sleep."

Jian Mo was particularly enthusiastic after drinking. Wu Jiong was afraid that he would feel uncomfortable, so he took him to drink honey water before going upstairs with him.

That night, the two of them went to bed relatively late, and naturally woke up late the next day.

Jian Mo originally wanted to do a second round of distillation of the wine before everyone went out to hunt and gather in the morning, but because he got up too late and couldn't spare any time, he had to ask the tribe for another day to go alone.

They steamed these two jars of wine three times in total, and finally got only a small jar of wine.

The distilled wine almost no longer tastes like fruit, and it tastes similar to the white wine Jian Mo drank on Earth, except that it doesn't have the aroma of white wine, and has more of an alcoholic taste.

Jian Mo placed it carefully in the house, specifically away from the source of fire.

They don't need this high-strength liquor now. They will need it when they need to do some surgery or do something else.

Wu Jiong accompanied him to put away the high-strength liquor: "We can pick more noodle fruits this year."

Jian Mo: "Forget it, it's too cold to go into the water to pick noodle fruits. Anyway, noodle fruits are not expensive. Then we can go with other people ." "The tribe

has a lot of supplies this year. They have a lot of money. Even if they stop hunting and gathering, they should be able to live a good life just by exchanging supplies, let alone the fruit."

Wu Jiong: "It's okay, we'll see when the time comes."

Jian Mochang thought: "When the time comes, we let the wind go out in advance, and there should be many tribes who want to trade with us. If someone comes to see a doctor, I can also ask for an interview. "Fruit."

Jian Mo is quite satisfied with their current life. They now have enough food, rich materials, and harmonious interpersonal relationships. Jian Mo feels that she has almost no regrets.

Especially with Wu Jiong as a companion and a winged beast as a pet, life is almost complete.

For a long time, Jian Mo was in a particularly good mood.

Until this morning, he wanted to cut some grass and fry eggs. When he arrived at the vegetable field, he found that the crops in the vegetable field were almost eaten up.

You know, he came over to water it the afternoon before yesterday!

It's just been a day since I looked at it. What happened to his vegetable patch?

Jian Mo searched the vegetable field angrily, and soon found various footprints, including those of birds and animals.

While searching for traces, he discovered that the vegetable seeds given to him by the orcs from the Haizuo Tribe who asked him to treat his toenails should have just grown young in the past two days.

As for the young seedlings, which were said to be very fresh and tender, he could not eat even a single leaf. As soon as they sprouted, they were destroyed by unknown animals and only the roots were left.

There are so many vegetable fields by the river, and almost every one of them has been damaged by disasters. However, some vegetable fields have been particularly seriously damaged, while others have been relatively minor.

Jian Mo checked it again, and the more he checked, the more he felt that he couldn't swallow it.

He worked hard to open up wasteland, sow seeds, water and fertilize... all the crops he had maintained for so long were actually destroyed!

In the past, small-scale disasters were ignored, but this time they actually caused so many disasters at once, it was like opening a buffet in his field!

After walking back and forth in the vegetable field several times, Jian Mo suddenly threw the basket into the middle of the vegetable field and went home angrily.

The patrolling orc happened to come nearby and originally wanted to call him, but when he saw him like this, he didn't dare to call and could only watch him blowing past him like a gust of wind.

After returning home, Wu Jiong went out to see the tribe's pottery kiln, but he hadn't come back yet.

Jiujiu also went out to play with the tribe's cubs and was not at home.

He originally wanted to rub Jiujiu to relieve his depression, but now that he can't, he is even more depressed.

With the air in his chest unable to come out, he ran upstairs and took out the anesthetic from his treasure box, intending to kill the animals that were stealing his food.

There was still half a box of moss for anesthesia, so Jian Mo grabbed two big handfuls, then went downstairs to the kitchen, steamed the stems and meat, chopped up the moss for anesthesia and stuffed it into small pieces. ball.

After they were done, he ran back to the vegetable field and placed the small meatballs evenly in various places on the vegetable field.

He was not afraid that anyone in the tribe would mistakenly eat the meatballs he placed in the vegetable field. His vegetable field had fences and low walls. Most people would not come over at all. Even the cubs knew not to come over, lest they step on them. vegetable.

After placing the meatballs mixed with medicine, Jian Mo looked at the place and felt that there were no flaws, so he was about to go back.

He couldn't believe that the animals that were causing harm to his vegetable garden even ate the vegetables and could not be tempted by his meatballs.

Jian Mo's expression was so strange, he looked angry and proud at the same time.

When Wu Jiong came back, he noticed something was wrong with him and asked him, "What's wrong?"

Jian Mo refused and said, "It's a secret. You'll know tomorrow."

Wu Jiong felt even more strange: "What is so mysterious about it? Do you want help?"

Jian Mo waved his hand: "No need for now, I'll see if I need it tomorrow."

Jian Mo deliberately did not go to the vegetable patch in the afternoon, so as not to disturb the animals that were staring at his vegetable patch.

But when he came back, he specifically told Shui Jin, the orc who was patrolling at night, that if he saw an animal harming his vegetable field, don't worry about it, he had other uses.

Shui Jin was a little puzzled, but still agreed.

With something hidden in her heart, Jian Mo didn't sleep well at all at night, rolling around.

Wu Jiong was so aroused by him that he leaned over to kiss him. Before he could kiss anyone, he covered his mouth with his hand and refused: "Not today, I have to get up early tomorrow."

Wu Jiong stared at him and frowned: "You really can't say it?"

Jian Mo hugged Wu Jiong with the quilt, pressed Wu Jiong back, and took the initiative to kiss Wu Jiong on the cheek: "There's still half the night, you'll know tomorrow."

Wu Jiong asked whether he had eaten enough Feeling irritated, he turned his back on the guest, wrapped him in a quilt, and hugged him hard: "Let me hold him to sleep."

Jian Mo: "Okay, okay."

Jian Mo remembered the ground, and couldn't sleep at first, until he found a comfortable position , and then being held firmly by Wu Jiong, he soon fell asleep.

His sleep quality has always been very good. The next morning, without an alarm clock, he couldn't get up early at all.

When Wu Jiong woke her up, Jian Mo was still in a daze for a while.

He looked at the dim sky outside the window: "Why did you wake me up so early?"

Wu Jiong brought him the clothes: "Someone called us outside to go out and take a look."

Jian Mo suddenly remembered: "Ah, I Look!"

Jian Mo wrapped her clothes around her body, jumped out of bed and ran to the window to look out.

Shui Jin, who was patrolling at night, was standing outside their yard: "Jian Mo, there are a lot of prey in your field!"

Jian Mo: "Ah!!! Is it true?"

Shui Jin nodded: "Yes! I just looked at it and found it. If you are alive, I will come and call you. Do you want to help you tie up the prey?" Jian

Mo: "Yes! Please tie it up for us. We will come down soon and don't let the prey escape."

: "I can't run. I just took a look and I almost fainted. No matter how much I rummaged around, there was no movement at all."

Jian Mo shouted, "Just in case."

Wu Jiong listened for a long time and finally understood what was going on. What happened.

Jian Mo didn't have time to explain to him. He put on the animal skin shoes on his feet, took his wrist and ran underneath: "Let's go to the fields to take a look."

Wu Jiong: "Do you want to bring a basket?" Jian

Mo said Mo: "Ah, you reminded me, there is no need for a basket, we just bring the bag and the rope!"

Jian Mo pulled Wu Jiong and trotted all the way to the river.

Their home was not far from the river, and they ran to the place before they even started to pant.

Shui Jin was waiting for them in the field. When he saw them coming, Shui Jin put his hands on his hips and said, "These prey have fallen on the ground, just pick them up."

Jian Mo: "Let me take a look, what are they?

Shui Jin: "Purple birds, long-headed beasts, long-eared beasts, short-tailed beasts... they are all relatively small prey, but there are none particularly small ones." Jian

Mo ran over and took a look. Sure enough, they were all small prey. Small, actually not particularly small. The smallest purple bird is as big as a duck, and the big long-headed beast is bigger than the average medium-sized dog.

These prey looked very plump. I wonder how many dishes they had ruined for his family?

Shui Jin: "I just picked up these prey together. It's dark. There may be other prey. You can look for them again."

Jian Mo: "Okay, thank you."

Shui Jin waved his hand: "Why are you so polite? Even if I don't bark You guys, you'll come over when it gets light." Jian Mo smiled and put a long-headed beast into Shui

Jin's hand: "They might run away when it gets light. You can take this long-headed beast back and eat it."

: "It's really not necessary."

Jian Mo: "Take it. Look, we have more than ten prey here. We can't eat them all ourselves."

Wu Jiong also said: "Take them back for a taste."

They I often go hunting, and the long-headed beast is not a rare beast.

However, most of the prey brought back were dead. If they were delayed on the way, and if they were delayed again when they came back to divide the meat, the freshness would definitely not be as good as the fresh prey now.

Moreover, live prey can be bled. Those of hunted prey have blood coagulated inside and need to be soaked or blanched to make them better, which makes the taste even worse.

Shuijin couldn't refuse, and finally happily took the long-headed beast away.

At dawn, he could take over the shift with the next patrolling orc, and just in time to take the long-headed beast home for a snack.

Wu Jiong said: "Is this what you kept secret all night?"

Jian Mo: "Yeah, I'm not sure if any animals will come over. Will the anesthetic be useful? I told you in advance that if the medicine doesn't reach the prey, How embarrassing is that?"

Wu Jiong looked at him: "What's so embarrassing about me?"

Jian Mo said with a smile: "I also hope that I will always appear smart, capable, brave and wise in front of you."

Wu Jiong: "You are."

Jian Mo: "Then I have to do something to prove it. Speaking of which, flying animals like purple birds can come in, but I don't know why small animals can also come in. Look Our fence doesn't work very well."

Wu Jiong checked and said, "Some jump in directly from the top of the fence, and some dig holes under the fence. Each animal's method is different."

Jian Mo. Looking at the fence in front of him: "Then what's the use of the fence we spent so much effort to knock down?"

Wu Jiong: "Tell others that the crops in this area are crops grown by us?"

Jian Mo sighed: "Forget it. "Okay, let's step up patrols next."

Wu Jiong: "I'll bring the seeds over and replant them in the afternoon. The crops should sprout again soon."

Jian Mo: "It's a pity that we don't have many seeds in hand, so we have to hurry up. " I'll exchange another batch with others, otherwise I'm afraid there won't be enough seeds."

Jian Mo has never planted the ground before. The planting behind the house went well before, and he never thought that he would need to replant.

This time it can be regarded as gaining experience for them.

The two packed the remaining prey into bags.

These prey were caught by them alone and did not need to be divided among the tribes. They all belonged to them.

Jian Mo took stock and found that the harvest this time was not bad. After the two offset each other, there was a slight surplus.

In this case, forget it, exchanging crops for prey is quite cost-effective.

All the prey are still alive, but they are sleeping deeply after taking anesthetics.

Jian Mo simply tied up these prey and put them in the backyard, intending to keep them and eat them slowly.

Eating fresh game is much more delicious than eating dried game.

For this reason, Jian Mo specially told Jiujiu to take a look at it when it was free. If there was any prey that was about to escape, he should come back in time to report it.

This guy listened to the tweet for a long time, but he didn't know if he understood it.

Jian Mo pushed it: "Remember, your rations are also in here, don't let your rations go."

Chiu Jiu seemed to finally understand, and said happily: "Chiu Jiu!"

Chapter 80 After doing bad things

, Jian Mo finally caught the beast that stole their food. Jian Mo slipped one of the purple birds out and planned to cook it in the morning.

The purple bird is large, has thick meat and is delicious.

After Wu Jiong took it to the river for processing, Jian Mo chopped the purple bird into pieces, added oil to a pan and stir-fried the water until fragrant, then added garlic powder and a handful of pepper stamens.

The stir-fried dried purple bird is slightly spicy and goes very well with rice.

Jian Mo gnawed the purple bird on the stem. While eating, he said with some regret: "It's not right to use the stem with the purple bird. It would be nice if there was rice. Two bowls of rice will give it a delicious taste." A must."

Wu Jiong often heard him talk about rice. Although he has never eaten it, he can imagine: "If we keep asking around, we will find it sooner or later, or find a similar substitute."

Jian Mo nodded: "If we don't find rice . , beans and corn can also be used, anyway, they can be made into rice."

I just don't know what these undomesticated plants will look like when they grow up. Looking at the noodle grass that looks similar to wheat, I guess the situation will not be very optimistic.

No matter, find it first and then talk about it.

While eating, Jian Mo remembered: "We don't have much moss left, and we haven't gone to Leigong Mountain to collect moss for a long time. There should be new moss growing. Why don't we go take a look today."

Wu Jiong: "Eat Let's go after dinner."

Jian Mo: "It feels like we have been alone a lot during this period. I will try not to act alone in the next period of time."

Wu Jiong didn't care at all: "You have already paid enough for the tribe. Yes, everyone agrees that you should get special treatment. It doesn't matter if you don't go. As long as you don't go out and receive the allocated materials, no one will say anything."

Wu Jiong

: "If anyone has any objections, just let them do what you did."

Jian Mo smiled: "Okay, I'll take care of it myself."

Wu Jiong said seriously: "You can do what you want, you don't have to follow the tribe. I'm the leader of the clan, and when I say it doesn't matter, it really doesn't matter."

After

saying that, Jian Mo said, "You're so handsome for saying that."

Wu Jiong'er was a little blushing. : "Eat."

They have been to Leigong Mountain several times.

Jiu Jiu was a little afraid of the thunder and lightning in Leigong Mountain, so they didn't take it with them this time. Instead, Wu Jiong turned into a giant wolf and carried Jian Mo directly there.

Running at full speed, running for only half a day is not a problem for the giant wolf.

Before noon, they had already arrived at the humid Leigong Mountain.

Jian Mo turned to look at the moss growing on the trunk of the big tree and said, "I always feel that this place is very different, as if it is not within the territory of the Riverside Tribe, but should be in a more distant place."

Wu Jiong: "You Does it mean that the plants growing here are completely different?"

Jian Mo: "Yes, the landforms and plants are different. I wanted to say this last time I came here. If we still have time after collecting moss, we can find a pool with a suitable temperature to soak in the hot springs. Right?"

Wu Jiong: "I know which pool is suitable. I will take you there later."

The two of them said and started to find moss that can be used as an anesthetic.

This moss is fluffy, each clump is as big as a palm, and it's not hard to find.

They picked slowly in the forest, and each time they picked a clump, they would leave a small piece behind to let it grow.

That way, next time you come back, new moss will grow in place.

After long-term search and accumulation, they will be able to collect more and more mosses, and it will become easier and easier to collect them.

As they walked, Wu Jiong pointed to Jian Mo to look at a plant: "The core of this grass can be eaten."

Jian Mo lowered his head and looked: "Huh? Is this grass?"

The plant was only as high as Jian Mo's knees, but Each branch was very thick, thicker than his wrist, with fat, opposite small leaves growing on the top.

Jian Mo asked uncertainly: "Is this grass?"

Wu Jiong: "You will know after you peel it off."

Wu Jiong cut off a relatively thick stem, then peeled off the skin, and there was a white core inside. Zi, looks a bit like wild rice.

Jian Mo took it and looked at it repeatedly in his hand: "It looks a bit like a vegetable."

Wu Jiong: "It's okay to say it's a wild vegetable. You can try it."

Jian Mo tried to take a small bite. The grass core was sweet. Yes, crispy, a bit like water chestnuts in texture, but not as sweet.

Jian Mo was pleasantly surprised: "It's delicious! Can you dig some up and plant them?"

Wu Jiong: "Not good, it grows very slowly. This grass has been growing for at least five years."

Jian Mo looked carefully and found that it only took five years to grow this small. , that's really not a good deal: "Okay, let it continue to grow."

Wu Jiong: "I'll cut two more."

Jian Mo: "What's its name?"

Wu Jiong thought for a moment: "Slowly grow. "

Jian Mo suspected that he was making it up casually: "Really?"

Wu Jiong: "Our tribe calls it this name. I don't know if other tribes have other names."

Wu Jiong said slowly and neatly. Two-thirds of the stems were cut off and put directly into the basket without peeling off the skin yet.

This will keep it fresher better.

Jian Mo looked back and decided to ask Ye Luo and the others when he went back.

The name is almost like a joke.

In addition to slow grass, they also picked a lot of wild vegetables along the way, and caught a lot of fish along the way.

The fish here are also delicious, and many of them are specialty fish that cannot be caught outside.

They wandered around Leigong Mountain for a day, found a pool and soaked in hot springs, and went back in the evening.

Jian Mo said he wanted to eat the fish caught today, so Wu Jiong carefully rubbed off the scales of the small fish with his fingers, squeezed out the internal organs, and cleaned up the small fish.

The small fish are lightly salted and used to stew fruit cakes and pickles. After being stewed, the fish tastes delicious, the fruit cake is soft and glutinous, and the pickles are sour and salty. They taste very good.

Jian Mo ate two large bowls of stems in one go. When he was full, he took Wu Jiong for a walk in the tribe for a long time.

Their food these days is pretty good, with all kinds of fresh meat every day, stir-fried, fried and baked. Tweet is the happiest eating, tweeting every day, his eyes are very bright.

Jian Mo watched it jump around every day, and the whole beast became more lively. She thought about how to get some fresh prey for it to try.

This guy loves to eat, and his emotional value is really high. Jian Mo really likes to cook for him.

Jian Mo followed the tribe out to collect for several days in a row without taking Jiu Jiu with him.

Young people in the tribe would sometimes say hello to Jian Mo and ride him out.

Jian Mo paid a little attention but didn't take it too seriously.

He had agreed to be raised together with the tribe from the beginning, and Jiujiu was quite happy to go out with the tribe's people, so naturally Jian Mo didn't have any objections.

On this day, Jian Mo and the others went out to collect. Most of the people in the tribe went out to collect or hunt, leaving only the patrolling orcs and a few orcs resting at home.

Everyone was doing their own thing, not paying special attention to the actions of Jiujiu and the cubs.

Jiujiu and the cubs often hang out and play together, and everyone is used to seeing this scene. Occasionally, it's quite cute to see a group of chubby furries, big and small, hanging out together.

No one knows that they look cute, but what they do is not so cute.

On this day, the cubs took Chiu Jiu to the river. A group of furry guys squatted on the river bank, looking across the river without blinking.

The patrolling orcs came closer, saw them like this, and warned them: "Just play here, don't go to the other side."

Chirped: "Chirp!"

The cubs raised their heads and said, "I know, we If you don't go, we'll just stay here."

In fact, it's okay to go to the other side. In broad daylight, the patrolling orcs have already patrolled outside the tribe, and no wild beasts have come.

The patrolling orcs guessed that they might be helping Jian Mo's family keep an eye on the vegetable patch to prevent small animals from coming to cause trouble.

Thinking of this, the patrolling orc casually touched the kitten Banjiu nearby. These guys are really clever and well-behaved.

After instructing them, the patrolling orcs went around to the edge to patrol.

The cubs squatted on the spot, watching him leave from the corner of their eyes.

When he was completely out of sight, Banjiu immediately said: "Hurry, hurry, hurry, we can cross the river, everyone, please be careful."

The group of cubs that could not yet transform raised their paws and swam out of the shallow river. past.

Jiujiu followed behind, stepping on the stones at the bottom of the river with his two hind paws, and ran slowly over. After reaching the other side, his buttocks were completely wet.

A group of guys faced the sun, swung their bodies and shook the water, looked back at the wide river, raised their heads and held their chests high, looking quite proud.

There is a lot of food outside in the spring, and it is relatively easy to collect. As long as the cubs can transform, they all go out with the adults to learn to collect, leaving only this group of guys to stay in the tribe and play.

There is no danger in the tribe, and there are patrolling orcs, so the adults don't care.

No one thought that they could actually swim to the other side of the river.

After all, rivers are already natural protective belts.

After the water on his body was a little dry, Chiujiu ran to the front, turned his head and said "Chiujiu" to the cubs, indicating that this was where they were.

Banjiu swung his tail and stared at the vegetable patch without blinking: "Then let's get started. Every two people will be assigned a vegetable plot to see if they can hunt prey."

The cubs suddenly "oohed" " "Woof woof" and "meow" barked for a while, and he quickly ran to look at the vegetable patch to ambush him.

There were very few prey. They squatted for a while and only bit two bugs.

After a while, the chubby little white wolf Zhoudao howled softly, reminding his companions: "Jiangtou is coming here to patrol." When

the cubs heard the news, they hurriedly ran to the river, crawling like dumplings. It rolled down the river, its four little paws rowed very fast, and its tail swung to help, and it swam to the other side of the river in a few strokes.

After swimming over, they all squirmed and shook their hair.

Then, there was another burst of milky complaints:

"You dumped the water on me."

"Me too!"

"Meow, Zhoudao, stay away from me."

"Keep your voice down, Jiangtou is coming. , run!"

The cubs ran away and ran to the woods by the river.

"Ha Chi Ha Chi" was the slowest. The river was shallow and it was big. Only its buttocks were wet and it looked quite dry.

The patrolling orcs came around and glanced at the slowest runner, Jiu Jiu, thinking that these cubs were just chasing and playing, so they ignored him.

The cubs spent the day playing hide-and-seek with the patrolling orcs and running to the other side to try to catch some prey. They had a great time.

When the first group of hunters came back, they had just run back to the tribal clearing and were still gasping for breath with their tongues hanging out.

Ban Ming saw his brother was panting so hard, and he stretched out his big palm in confusion, held his chest, and raised it to his eyes: "What are you doing? You are panting so hard."

Ban Jiu lowered his head and licked it. Brother's fingers: "Play."

His fur is almost dry, and Ban Ming doesn't care about the remaining moisture. When he was a cub, he walked through the jungle and rolled through puddles. It's normal for his fur to be a little wet. .

Ban Ming: "You guys keep playing."

Ban Chi: "Meow."

The adults didn't notice that the cubs had gone to hunt across the river.

When Jian Mo went to water the vegetable field, he found some paw prints. However, it hadn't rained in the past two days, so the paw prints were very shallow. He didn't know much about hunting. He was just confused when he saw it, but didn't think anything about it.

The crops have grown very well in the past few days, with no trace of damage at all, especially from the seeds given by Ruda, which have grown into small seedlings.

Jian Mo cut it back and used it to cook noodles. She just added a little animal oil, salt and shellfish powder, and the cooked young shoots were very delicious, tender, and very spring-like.

This kind of vegetable is really delicious, and it seems that it can be grown for a long time in the future.

The cubs saw that people did not realize that the daily fixed game had become hunting on the other side of the river.

They didn't catch any prey for several days.

Until this day, when Banjiu was hiding in the vegetable field, a bird tried to fly down and peck at the vegetable seedlings.

Banjiu, who was lying in ambush in the ground, jumped up and knocked down the whole bird.

"Oooh! Banjiu is so awesome!"

"Caught, caught!"

"Quick, quick, quick, the patrolling orcs are coming, let's go to the woods."

"Tweet!"

the cubs said in a flurry . , quickly turned around and ran, crossed the river and ran into the woods to hide temporarily.

After the patrolling orcs left, the cubs looked at the pretty big bird on the ground and were confused:

"What should I do with this bird? Eat it?"

"It doesn't seem possible. Brother Jian Mo said he can't eat it.

"Take it home?" "

Take it home, dad and the others will know that we are out to catch the bird."

"Tweet it?

"

"Tweet it?

" Give it to Chiu Jiu. We will catch it later."

The cubs reached an agreement and handed the half-dead prey to Chiu Jiu.

Jiujiu happily took the prey in his mouth and went hunting with the cubs again.

The cubs enjoyed it and went to guard the vegetable field again.

Not long after, they caught a small long-eared beast. They couldn't eat this beast, so they gave it to them.

So, when Jian Mo and the others came back, Chiu Chiu held two prey in his mouth and squatted in the yard with his head held high, with a proud expression on his furry face.

Seeing it like this, Jian Mo took another look and soon discovered the prey in its mouth.

Jian Mo was surprised: "Jiu Jiu, can you hunt prey?"

Jiu Jiu held the prey in his mouth and said vaguely: "Chiu Jiu."

Jian Mo: "Wu Jiong, come here and see, Jiu Jiu can hunt!"

Jiu Jiu sat up more upright. Wu Jiong came

over and took a look: "The red-necked bird and the long-eared beast have no wounds on their bodies. They may have been jumped by the Chirp."

Jian Mo: "Then I will make a dish and give it a snack at night. "

Kiu Jiu flapped its wings, with obvious joy in her voice: "Chiu Jiu——"

Jiu Jiu has hit its prey, and it must be rewarded no matter what.

Jian Mo and Wu Jiong helped it pack away its prey, and specially made a pot of braised animal and bird combination with less oil and salt for it to eat.

This pot was full of chirping. When Jian Mo put it in the pot, it looked at the pot full of meat and chirped happily again.

After Jian Mo finished feeding it, he was ready to go back to eat.

Jiujiu ate the grass given to it first, keeping an eye on Jian Mo from the corner of his eyes.

This guy has always had the habit of eating the bad food first and then the good food. Jian Mo didn't care when he saw it.

Who knows, when Jian Mo turned around and walked away, Jiujiu confirmed that his back had disappeared, and the dog also went out with the rice bowl in its mouth.

Jian Mo went home to wash his hands and was about to eat when he saw garlic powder shellfish on the table. He remembered that the shellfish hadn't been sent to Tweet yet, so he said, "I'll send some more shellfish to Tweet. It won't be cool when it gets cold." It's delicious."

Wu Jiong said, "I'll go with you."

The two of them went to the backyard again.

The backyard was empty, with no sign of Chirp at all.

Jian Mo was dumbfounded while holding the rice bowl: "Where is Chiu Chiu?"

Where did such a big guy go?

Wu Jiong took a look: "Its rice bowl is gone."

Jian Mo looked carefully: "Hey, it's true, where did it go with the rice bowl in its mouth? Could it be that it has a pet behind our back?"

As a person Pet doctor, Jian Mo has seen many cases of cats and dogs keeping pets. Some cats and dogs even became sad and sick because their pets died.

Thinking of this, Jian Mo became interested and pulled Wu Jiong: "Let's go over and see what Jiujiu raised?"

Wu Jiong sniffed: "This way."

The smell of braised beasts and birds is very rich, and it can't be hidden from Wu Jiong. A bright nose.

Wu Jiong and Jian Mo followed the smell of the vegetables, and caught up with the chubby Jiujiu in a few seconds - mainly because this guy didn't fly, so he walked with his paws, dragging his chubby body and couldn't move fast.

Jian Mo looked at its slow back and said strangely: "It's going to the woods. It's strange. I passed by the woods in the afternoon and didn't find anything?"

Wu Jiong lowered his voice: "Maybe it's in a cave."

Jian Mo: "Then let's squat for a while."

Chiu Jiu went to the grove and sat down. Instead of looking for his pet, he raised his head and called "Chiu Jiu" several times.

Its sound is quite loud and travels quite far.

After calling, it waited patiently on the spot.

Jian Mo was even more confused. Isn't it strange that Jiujiu is smart? Some cats and dogs can be so smart, but the pets he raises are all smart, so that's a bit strange.

There are so many people in the tribe, and there are also patrolling orcs. How can any animal be hidden from everyone's eyes and kept by Tweet?

Jian Mo was very curious and pulled Wu Jiong to squat behind the tree.

After a while, an animal came.

When the animal ran up to him, Jian Mo discovered that the animal was not any animal he had imagined, but a cub from the tribe.

What Jiujiu raised was actually a cub from the tribe!

Jian Mo's scalp was numb, and he looked at Wu Jiong with surprised expressions on both their faces.

The chubby little white wolf Zhoudao was the first to run up to Jiujiu, smelled its rice bowl, and said happily, "It smells so good! I'll try a piece."

Jian Mo's mouth twitched and he hurriedly went out to stop him.

Before Zhoudao had time to taste it, Banjiu ran over and slapped Zhoudao on the head: "Brother Jian Mo said, don't eat randomly!"

After saying that, Banjiu met Jian Mo's eyes and was instantly frightened. Trembling: "Meow?!"

Jian Mo, who had just appeared with Wu Jiong, said: "..." If I had known, I wouldn't have come out.

Zhoudao heard the noise and turned around to look. He was so frightened that Mao almost cried: "Brother Jian Mo!!!"

Jiujiu also widened his eyes: "Huh?"

It's over, he was caught.
