MTL - Transmigrated To Ancient Times To Farm And Build A Kingdom-Chapter 2 Fish Ball and Vegetable Soup
The animal den is built on a flat mountainside.
In the distance is a lake, which is connected to the White River that flows through the Heluo tribe.
Chang Xia chose this beast den because he liked this lake. Being close to the lake means that there is no shortage of water, which is convenient for planting and irrigation. At the same time, there are aquatic products such as fish and shrimp in the lake, so even in winter, there is no need to worry about being hungry.
Orcs live by hunting, supplemented by gathering.
However, the orcs do not have corresponding cooking methods, which leads to their simple and crude way of handling ingredients.
Aquatic products such as fish and shrimp are rarely eaten by orcs.
The main reason is that there is no means to remove the fishy smell, and the fish are spiny and easily injured.
The animal den is simply and properly arranged, and all the animal skin curtains are uncovered to facilitate ventilation. This animal den has not been inhabited for a long time, and it takes time to troubleshoot.
The Heluo tribe lives near the river and the temperature is suitable.
The orcs do not understand the profound construction techniques, and the dens are mainly crypts.
The simple explanation of the so-called crypt-type animal nest is to dig a pit of about three meters in the ground, rammed with stones, wood and other materials as the wall and foundation, and then use branches to build a circular/pointed top of the nest.
This kind of animal nest is more stable than the tent built on the ground, and it can keep out the cold and keep warm.
At the same time, it also takes into account the ventilation.
Compared with living in caves, animal dens are more convenient.
"The animal skin on the top of the nest and the wood on the wall need to be replaced." Shen Rong patted off the sand and soil on his hands and looked around the animal nest. The ground was eroded by rain and needed to be refilled and rolled. In addition, the outside drainage ditches also need to be re-digged.
Chang Xia circled around the beast's nest, and a thought came to her heart.
When she was in the tribe before, she thought about building a house. Unfortunately, at that time, my health was very poor and I was always ill. In addition, because she is not an adult, the clansmen do not worry that she will leave the tribe and live alone, so she cannot act on her ideas.
nowadays.
After getting married, Chang Xia had time to build a beast nest—a cave dwelling—that was hers alone.
"Let's live first, and wait for us to settle down. I'm going to build a new animal den, which is completely different from the tribal people's den."
Chang Xia said, pointing to the hillside west of the animal den.
The dark eyes flashed with dazzling brilliance, making Shen Rong feel like he was burned.
"I believe you." Shen Rong nodded without thinking.
When the clansmen sent them over, they brought Chang Xia's things along with them.
Four backpacks containing all Chang Xia's belongings.
Shen Rong, he brought someone.
Fortunately, the long winter has passed, and the Heluo tribe has entered a warm spring. Unlike Earth, the Twilight Forest has no distinct seasons. Spring and summer are one season, autumn and winter are one season, and warm and cold seasons are distinct.
Although the warm and cold seasons are distinct, they do not affect the rich species of the Twilight Forest.
After listening to Shen Rong's words, Chang Xia was in a very good mood.
Because of his body, Chang Xia is often talked about by his clansmen, even if this kind of talk is well-intentioned, after listening to it for a long time, it will inevitably make people uncomfortable and uncomfortable.
Shen Rong's trust made Chang Xia more satisfied to bring him back to the tribe.
"Let's tidy up the animal den first. Later, I will go back to the lake to get the fish basket. In the noon, I will make fish **** for you to eat." Chang Xia walked briskly, preparing to carry wood and repair the animal den. These woods were sent by the clan to repair the beast den. After all, the clan people saw Xia Chenrong, one was weak and sick, and the other was terminally ill. If you don't help a little, maybe people will just disappear.
Half a sound.
A clean and bright animal den appeared.
Change the old shabby.
The clansmen had sent enough wood, so Chang Xia asked Shen Rong to help organize the wood into wooden blocks, and then spliced and inlaid them into a floor.
Busy, approaching noon.
There is about ten catties of meat sent by the clansmen in the back basket. Half a basket of wild vegetables, fruit, some wilted fruit should have been stored last year.
"I'm going to collect the fish baskets by the lake, are you going? If you go, take the wild vegetables and clean them up. At noon, we have fish **** and vegetables soup."
"go."
Carrying half a basket of wild vegetables, he walked down the hillside towards the lake.
Two-thirds of the White River flows through the territory of the Heluo tribe. The lake in front of Changxia Gate is connected to the White River, and there is no shortage of fish and shrimp in the lake.
Chang Xia led Shen Rong to a reed bush by the lake, leaned down, and dragged the fish basket out of the lake.
Very heavy.
It seems that the harvest is very good.
This fish basket is woven from green rattan in Changxia.
In order to eat in one bite, she was struggling. At the same time, he had to hide from his clansmen, so as not to be said to be "not doing a proper job".
However, Chang Xia planned to wait for the beast den to be cleaned up, and then find an opportunity to hoard some food and invite the clan to eat. Give the practice of fish **** to the tribe.
Fishing is much safer than going out hunting.
"This is..." Shen Rong stepped forward to take the fish basket from Chang Xia's hand and looked at it. The fish basket was slender and flat, and the green vines were not roasted and tanned, so they were very rough.
"Fish basket." Chang Xia said, "I'm too sick to go out to gather, let alone participate in hunting. Usually, when the tribe is free, I like to ponder."
While talking and gesturing, he told Shen Rong how the fish basket was made.
This one has poor body and low strength.
The woven fish basket was scrapped after two uses, and told Shen Rong that he obviously hoped that he could knit a few. This way, you won't have to worry about not being able to eat fish and shrimp in the future.
"Chang Xia, you are amazing!" Shen Rong praised.
The fish basket is simple to make, and the orc cubs can make it as well.
The winter in the Dusk Forest is extremely cold, making it difficult for even the most powerful orcs to hunt down their prey. Fishy, but filling the stomach.
The fish basket undoubtedly gave the orcs a new way of life.
"Pour out the wild vegetables and wash them, and pour in the fish. The harvest is average today, and it's best to come here early in the morning to collect the fish baskets in the future."
Chang Xia pointed at the broken fish basket with a look of regret.
Four herrings weighing six or seven catties, several catties of river shrimp, and a river crab. It's a pity that they came late. If they were earlier, the harvest should be more.
The Heluo tribe seldom eats fish.
There are many fish and shrimps in the Baihe River and lakes, and the fish weighing six or seven catties are small fish. Big fish generally weigh more than ten pounds, and some fish weigh dozens of pounds.
Don't ask why Chang Xia knew, she secretly made a fishing rod before and wanted to make a big effort. Not to mention the harvest, people were almost dragged into the White River to feed the fish.
After that, she gave up the idea of fishing directly.
At least, until the body is well exercised, I don't dare to have any more thoughts of fishing.
Herring, less thorns, tender meat.
It is quite similar to the perch that Chang Xia knew.
Perfect for making fish balls.
Even if there are no seasonings, the river prawns are simply boiled, and the taste can't be more delicious. Even the shrimp shell Changxia is not willing to waste, keep it, and plan to dry it and grind it into powder as a seasoning.
Carrying fish and shrimp, and washed wild vegetables and fruits.
Chang Xia and the two returned to the animal den.
A stone stove was built next to the door of the animal den, and a slender pottery pot was hung above it.
Orcs usually barbecue and stew in the open air, and there are stoves in this beast den.
It can be seen that he should be a particular person.
It just so happened that Chang Xia was not used to making a fire for cooking in the open air.
The animal nest is four or five meters high, and the scattered structures on the top of the nest are enough to ventilate and exhaust smoke.
Shen Rong started the fire, and the fish and shrimp were cleaned by the lake. Chang Xia held the bone knife, peeled and deboned the herring, and then cut the fish into small pieces. Without a wall breaker, Chang Xia could only manually chop the fish into mud, which was very exhausting, but in order to eat, Chang Xia did not I don't feel hard.
"Shen Rong, go and get me a bird's egg from the second basket against the wall."
Orcs call eggs, duck eggs and bird eggs all called bird eggs. Chang Xia couldn't distinguish the type of eggs, so she simply followed them and called them Bird Eggs.
Take the egg, break it in Changxia, remove the egg yolk, leave the egg white and pour it into the fish, add salt, a little fruit powder, and start stirring. Fruit powder is a starch-like powder. It is made from a kind of fruit called ginkgo, which is dried and ground.
When the cubs of the tribe are born, the clansmen will use fruit powder and water to boil it into a paste to feed the cubs.
However, Chang Xia thinks that the fruit powder has other uses. UU reading www.uukanshu.com When she has time, she will think about it, maybe she will be able to eat rice noodles or noodles.
Jiang, Chang Xia couldn't find it for now.
She found a lot of chives, and there were still a lot of shallots in the back basket, and she planned to choose a place to plant them next to the animal den. In the future, there would be no shortage of onions for cooking and cooking.
Chop the chives, add water and soak.
Then pour the chive water into the minced fish paste little by little, add water while pouring, and beat it constantly, repeating this several times.
When done, put it in cold water and refrigerate for a while.
Shen Rong quietly watched Chang Xia busy. Looking at Chang Xia's meticulous movements, he seemed to find the reason for Chang Xia's frailty.
"Are you hungry? If you feel hungry, eat some fruit first, and I'll be fine right away." Chang Xia said.
After speaking, add water to the clay pot and heat it on a low fire.
He started to squeeze the fish balls, his movements were neat and crisp. The snow-white fish looks very appetizing.
When it comes to speaking, the fish **** the size of lychees float up and down in the clay pot, which is very beautiful.
At the same time, a different kind of umami spread from the beast's nest.
Seeing that the fish **** were about to be cooked, Chang Xia put the wild vegetables in again, added salt, and a pinch of dried shrimp powder to taste.
In the end, the picked egg yolk was not wasted, and she poured it into it.
Cuckoo!
Shen Rong rubbed his stomach, slightly embarrassed, and took the fish ball and vegetable soup from Chang Xia Sheng.
"It's so fresh and delicious." Shen Rong said in surprise.
He never thought that fish would taste so delicious.
Chang Xia took a small bite of the fish ball. There was no **** or cooking wine, and there was a slight fishy smell. Still, the flavor is a lot stronger than half-baked roasts and hodgepodge stews.
Sure enough, getting married is correct.
