The matter of purple fruit has set off a new wave of enthusiasm in the Watson tribe. The tribesmen have never been so confident in facing a more severe cold season. At least, they are confident that they will no longer be hungry.
Every day, countless stinky fruits, prey and purple fruits were collected by beastmen and females. Ji Nuan taught the tribesmen how to weave backpacks.
Now, the backpack has become an indispensable daily necessity for every orc family in the Watson tribe.
Ji Nuan also carried her own small basket and went out to collect with the tribesmen.
However, all the food she collected was placed in Xiu Yan's cave. The tribesmen respected Ji Nuan for discovering so much food that could be preserved, so they would never move the food she collected back to the public storage cave.
If Ji Nuan hadn't firmly opposed it, everyone would have planned to fill her and Xiu Yan's cave with food first.
Ji Nuan's strength was indeed not as good as the females in the tribe. It seemed that the premature baby's weakness was not only reflected in his half-orc appearance, but also in his physical fitness, which was far inferior to that of a normal orc.
"A Nuan, what are you doing? Why are you putting salt on the ground vegetables?" Ge Ye has now become Ji Nuan's little follower. Except for going back to eat and sleep every day, he basically stays in Ji Nuan's cave.
Xiu Yan protested more than once, but was ignored by the shameless Ge Ye every time. The battle of wits and courage between Xiu Yan and Ge Ye made Moo Moo, who lived next door, feel greatly relieved.
The silver wolf's attention finally shifted to other animals. Finally, the cow no longer had to worry about not seeing the sun tomorrow. This kind of fearful life made the cow couldn't be more sad. Even the fresh green grass could not soothe the trauma in little Moo Moo's heart.
And now...
Looking at Ge Ye chirping around Ji Nuan, little Moo Moo's big watery eyes were full of happiness about the ferocious silver wolf orc. He swung his tail leisurely and chewed the tender green grass in his mouth. His life was simply too good to be true.
"I want to try pickling ground vegetables with salt powder to see if it can be kept for a long time like pickled meat. This way, I can eat ground vegetables in the cold season." Ji Nuan's hands were covered with salt powder, recalling the pickling method she had heard when chatting with the aunts in the past.
I only heard it briefly at the time and don't remember it very clearly. Now I can only give it a try.
“Xiao Yezi, go and help me check if the batch of porcelain I fired yesterday has cooled down in the small open space outside. Help me move a jar in.” Ji Nuan pointed to a jar filled with ground vegetables that had been placed aside.
Ge Ye's eyes lit up, and he jumped up from the animal skin in an instant, and rushed out: "Okay, don't worry about me."
Ji Nuan shook her head in amusement, took the processed ground vegetables from the porcelain basin and put them aside, then stretched her waist. Her frail body was aching from bending over and working for so long.
In half a month, all the prey that Xiu Yan brought back had been pickled and filled up the small bedroom in his cave. It was obviously far from enough for the two beasts to survive the cold season, so except for the group hunting time, Xiu Yan would go out hunting and come back for dinner in the afternoon.
The temperature at night has been getting colder and colder. Ji Nuan finally realized now that she had been thinking about what to eat all day long. Her clothes and shoes were still animal skins tied with vines, and she didn't even have the heated kang in her ideal house.
He looked up and sighed heavily: "There are so many things to do."
However...
I thought about having my own little yard in the future. I would build a decorative wooden fence and plant ivy that would grow around the fence like a small green wall. When the ivy blooms after the rainy season, it would be like putting a beautiful flower crown on my little yard. It would be very beautiful.
Clear a few more plots of land in the yard, plant some commonly eaten vegetables and fruits, build a cluck den, raise some clucks, and build a sturdy shed for little Moo Moo.
If possible, build a pen behind the house and catch a few little Snorlax to raise.
Hunting all the time is not a solution. Raising animals yourself is safe and guaranteed, and it can also allow the animals in the forest to rest and recuperate, leaving precious wealth for future generations.
"A Nuan, look, is this it?" The chubby girl's joyful shout interrupted Ji Nuan's fantasy about the future.
Forget it, let’s take it step by step. You can’t become fat in one breath.
Ge Ye was moving in with a chubby kimchi pot in his arms. Ji Nuan hurried forward to help, and the two beasts worked together to move the kimchi pot into the storage cave.
After helping Ji Nuan pickle the ground vegetables, the little girl Ge Ye sat paralyzed on the animal skin and panted heavily: "A Nuan, you are really capable. Why didn't I realize that you can do so many things before?"
Ji Nuan gave a guilty laugh: "It was just a coincidence that we bumped into each other!"
