Chapter 161 River Melon Seeds
Ji Liang will definitely become a traveling merchant in the future and form his own team. This is what he and her had agreed on early on.
Gong You said last night that he wanted to open a martial arts school, and Xiao Cheng would take care of the small workshop at home with his clansmen from now on.
Yin Jiang is the squadron leader and will have many opportunities to climb up in the future, so his focus should be on the Beast Barracks.
Xu Chi was not in a hurry, as he had just become a father and was busy taking care of the children! Zhi Le chuckled and pinched her cheek, "Do you think I'm annoying, little cat? They are all busy with their own things, so don't you need someone to accompany you? My ability to clone yourself is just right, at least it can ensure that you have no shortage of males around you.
There has to be someone to guard the house. I am not very ambitious. At least, I will not consider these things for the time being until I advance and create another clone."
That being said, how could males not have a competitive spirit? His current focus was on advancement. Cultivating a second clone meant that he had also entered level ten.
Only when his cultivation level improves will he have the energy to think about what he can do to make the little female live a good life.
Things must be done one by one, and the road must be taken step by step.
Si Shuo smiled and nodded, rubbing his chest, and whispered: "How could that be? I love big cats the most! I feel at ease with you guys by my side."
It is known that Zhile and Zhiqi exist independently, but their memories and perceptions are shared. Only their individual thoughts and personalities are enough for outsiders to distinguish them. They are truly brothers from the same nest.
She cleverly used the big cat to replace Zhiqi and Zhile, so that the two would not care about who she treated better between them.
"Then let's stay at home. Xiao Cheng isn't at home every day anyway, so you two can take turns looking after the West Courtyard.
By the way, let's learn the beast language thoroughly first!"
"Okay, I'll listen to you, Maozi," Zhile responded with a smile.
After walking around for a few laps, the sun outside began to get hotter, so they went back into the house.
Si Shuo turned on the lights, and the dim stone house suddenly became bright. She took out the dictionary, exchanged some modern textbooks for literacy aids, bought new notebooks, and used a signature pen to compile her own literacy tutorial book.
Most of the animal characters are pictographic or ideographic characters. By looking at the characters and considering the context, you can roughly guess their meaning.
However, the current animal writing has not yet formed a system, and each family teaches the same word slightly differently. The animal writing in Si Shuo's dictionary is more reasonable and simplified than the existing standards. It is no longer vague and is easier to remember and recognize.
She wrote and taught Zhile at the same time.
Zhile took a pen and a notebook and followed her to copy. He would remember simple words after she said them once, and would mark the pinyin for the ones he didn't recognize.
After writing for about twenty minutes, Zhile grabbed the pen in Si Shuo's hand and stopped her from continuing.
But she had been sitting there for a little too long, and the babies in her belly were feeling uncomfortable, so when they heard Father Zhile's voice, they moved their bodies slightly with a bit of temper, expressing their agreement.
Si Shuo smiled and stood up helplessly.
However, Zhile still sat steadily, holding a pen and began to practice the new characters from the two lessons that Si Shuo had just written, stroke by stroke.
Si Shuo was experienced in calligraphy and would come over from time to time to give him pointers. After just half an hour, his writing had already become quite good!
Gongyou came back from the trip at noon and brought a lot of river melon seeds for Si Shuo.
Si Shuo's eyes sparkled, and he immediately instructed Gong You to put the watermelon seeds into the bucket and spit out the sand.
Gong You smiled and placed the river melon seeds next to the poultry house. He applied the rules of time and changed several basins of water. The muddy smell on the river melon seeds became much lighter.
He took salt and flour, rubbed the river melon seeds thoroughly and cleaned them. After marinating them and slightly drying them, he poured them into the oil pan and fried them.
The river melon seeds opened up when scalded by the hot oil, and the meat inside shrank and soon turned a brown color.
Gong You used a grate to scoop the river melon seeds out of the pot and put them aside to drain the oil. Seeing the little female waiting eagerly, he chuckled and was not afraid of the heat. He picked up a river melon seed and peeled it open with a little force, took out the fingertip-sized clam meat inside, and stuffed it into her mouth.
The clam meat was crispy, fresh and full of meaty flavor. Si Shuo's eyes curved with satisfaction, "Delicious! So delicious. Gong You, didn't you go to the martial arts hall? How did you still have time to pick up so many river melon seeds for me?"
Gong You continued to fry the river melon seeds, while Zhi Le helped Si Shuo peel the meat.
“The martial arts schools in the Beast City are all similar in model, divided into four levels according to the combat power level of the orcs, with two or three classes at each level.
The training content is relatively simple and basic, just physical training and combat. Occasionally, the teachers in the martial arts school will lead students to hunt in the nearby woods.
I looked at four or five of them and had an idea of what they were like. I happened to see that the moat beach was full of these things, and I guessed that you liked to eat them, so I scooped some up..."
The main reason was that he had just gotten off work and didn’t want to waste too much time outside.
Si Shuo smiled and nodded repeatedly, poking the kids who were happy with her for having eaten the delicious food, "These are the river melon seeds that your Gongyou grandfather brought, and they were peeled by Zhile grandfather.
After they are born, you must know how to respect them!"
The cubs moved their arms and legs to respond to her.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
Seeing the bulge on the female's belly, the males became nervous. Zhile gently stroked her and said helplessly in a low voice: "Your mother has suffered more when she was pregnant with you, so don't make trouble for her too much."
As if they felt his hand, the cubs rubbed him through Si Shuo's belly.
The small and soft thing, with its attachment, gave Zhile a wonderful feeling. He couldn't help but move his fingers, as if it didn't matter whether there was a snow leopard cub in it or not!
Si Shuo ate for a while, then watched Gong You collect the remaining large basket of river melon seeds.
"If you want to eat, just ask me for it," Gong You smiled and kissed her cheek. There was nothing he could do. He was not very good at coaxing the little female. The only way he could think of was to make her always remember that he had her favorite snacks.
Sure enough, now whenever he appears, the little female's eyes would flash with the same light as when she sees something delicious, and her Baba look is so adorable.
"Gongyou, are there a lot of river melon seeds in the river?"
The shells of river melon seeds become lime powder after high-temperature calcination.
Lime powder can bleach paper pulp, remove impurities, and allow paper to be stored for a long time, making it more durable!
If they can control this step, then no one in Guangshou City will be able to completely replicate their paper, and they won't be afraid of losing their business. Si Shuo thought, at worst, he could ask Ji Liang to bring some when he goes out to do business.
"A lot. The riverbank is full of them. My dear boy likes to eat them. When I have time, I will catch more for you and store them for you to eat during the rainy and cold seasons."
When talking about supplies, everyone will talk about the rainy season and the cold season.
Si Shuo's world has spring, summer, autumn and winter, but spring and autumn are very short. There is air conditioning in summer and heating in winter. For her who is forced to stay at home or in the hospital, time is not too difficult to pass.
The original owner's memory was vague, and Si Shuo did not have a deep understanding of the rainy season and cold season that everyone feared and even trembled about.
"Zhile, Gongyou, what do you do during the rainy season and the cold season?" she asked curiously.
Zhile and Gongyou looked at each other, and there flashed a light in their eyes that only males could understand.
Weekend schedules are a bit messy. Tomorrow may not be normal either. The author will try his best...
