Chu Beichen had just turned around and ran towards the cabin. As soon as he pushed open the door, a blizzard followed. The wind and snow were roaring, as if they were very angry at him for carrying a pile of firewood. Large flakes of snow came down, and Chu Beichen immediately could not see the steps in front of the door clearly.
Su Nian was guarding by the door. When she saw Chu Beichen enter the room, she quickly closed the wooden door, keeping the wind and snow out.
"The storms in this place are really terrible. They come at any time," Chu Beichen shook his head and untied the firewood. These firewoods had been carefully arranged by the previous owner and were of the right length and size to fit in the fireplace.
Chu Beichen put the firewood into the fireplace one by one, and the fire in the fireplace suddenly became brighter.
As the flames in the fireplace gradually grew brighter, the temperature in the house rose again. The couple smiled and warmed their hands by the fire. "It seems that as long as the wind and snow blow in this place, there will be nothing to do!"
Strangely enough, ever since they entered the cedar forest, the wind and snow have been particularly strong, both in the original world and in this new world. The frequency of this wind and snow has far exceeded their experience in previous winters.
"Maybe the frequent snowstorms are the reason for the low temperature in this place?" Chu Beichen pondered slowly.
Su Nian had already started using melted snow water to clean the wild boar leg. The original owner of the cabin had two simple knives, a small axe and a rough machete. After the wild boar leg melted slightly, Chu Beichen cut it into fist-sized pieces.
After cleaning, Su Nian filled the small pot with water and prepared to start cooking the wild boar meat.
There was an unpleasant sound of wind outside the house, as if the strong wind was swirling around the cabin.
This cabin has no glass windows. There should be a movable wooden board installed in the place of the window. In windy and snowy weather like this, the board is directly put down and fastened from the outside to block the wind and snow.
When the weather is slightly better, the windows are propped up to allow for ventilation. In this way, the lighting of the cabin becomes a big problem. Chu Beichen saw that the oil lamp in the house was filled with white grease, and it was estimated that the cabin usually relied on this oil lamp for lighting.
When taking the firewood, Chu Beichen noticed that there were some other things in the firewood storage room, but he didn't look at it carefully. Now think about it, after the snowstorm stops, he needs to check the reserves carefully.
The firewood is enough for a while, but the animal fat in the oil lamp needs to be replenished.
The water for stewing the meat has boiled. Su Nian frowned and thought, trying to find something to remove the fishy smell to season it. She found a few seasoning packets in her backpack.
This seasoning packet mainly contains ginger powder, pepper powder and Sichuan pepper powder. These three ingredients can flavor hot soup and make people feel warm all over after drinking it. It is now the most suitable material for stewing wild boar meat.
Chu Beichen had a metal bottle filled with liquor. Su Nian was about to pour a mouthful of liquor into the pot, but Chu Beichen stopped her firmly. "Su Nian, you can't touch this. I suspect that liquor and sugar are very precious ingredients here. Let's prepare them first. They might be useful!"
Su Nian smiled sweetly, "I'll listen to you!"
Chu Beichen doesn't like drinking. The reason why he brought this thing is because it is necessary to have some strong liquor to warm the body in the snow and ice.
After adding the seasoning, the wild boar leg exuded a rich aroma. The couple then sat down, opened their backpacks, and counted the supplies.
The golden ball was placed next to them, and Chu Beichen covered it with a piece of animal fur.
The couple had tried to figure out the golden ball countless times, but they couldn't trigger the mechanism no matter what. They had no choice but to prepare to temporarily reside and live in this place.
Both people's backpacks are filled with sleeping bags. These sleeping bags are high-tech products that can generate heat automatically. After the heat is exhausted, they can be automatically recharged by being exposed to the sun.
In addition to two sleeping bags, there were several pairs of brand new wool socks, two sets of brand new thermal underwear, a pound of black tea, three packets of compressed biscuits, six packets of broth seasoning, two boxes of sugar cubes, three lighters and a box of chocolates.
The picnic pot has been taken out to cook meat. In addition to this pot, there are two sets of tableware and two large self-charging flashlights. From what it seems at the moment, this is all the belongings of Su Nian and Chu Beichen.
"We have to use these things sparingly, especially the lighter and flashlight. I see that the craftsmanship here is very primitive, and I guess these two things are quite precious. Even if we don't use them ourselves, we can exchange them for other things," Chu Beichen hid the lighter and flashlight together with the sleeping bag.
Su Nian sorted out the animal furs of the original owner and unexpectedly discovered that the roof of the cabin was actually a storage room. There were many new skins and some unknown plants on it. She could naturally analyze the composition of the plants.
Su Nian quickly analyzed that these plants have certain medicinal value and can reduce fever and treat enteritis.
The original utensils in the cabin were very crude. The pot was a large crude iron pot, the bowl was a coarse pottery bowl, and there was an animal skin vest that was sewn with plant fibers. No needle or thread was found at all. It was estimated that they sewed clothes by making a hole in the vest and then fixing it with plant fibers.
Seeing these things, Su Nian and Chu Beichen couldn't help but feel worried. Everything showed that this was a place with extremely scarce materials and underdeveloped technology. It was difficult to live in such a place, and it was even more difficult to find a way to return to the original world.
There is no other good way right now, I can only take things as they come and take care of myself first.
At this time, the meat in the pot was almost cooked. The two people each filled a bowl of broth with their own bowls and chopsticks and started eating.
Now is an extraordinary period, and they are reluctant to touch the ready-made ingredients. Just as Chu Beichen said, these things might come in handy.
The only thing to be thankful for is that the wild boar meat in this place tastes fragrant and delicious. No matter what, it is good to satisfy the appetite.
Su Nian asked Chu Beichen if he was going hunting tomorrow?
"We must go. I didn't find any food in this house. I don't know if this place doesn't produce food at all, or if the food of the original owner of the wooden house was taken away. If we don't hunt, we will starve," Chu Beichen stood up and poured another bowl of meat soup.
Because of the cold weather, the couple felt their appetites increased.
In a short while, the two of them finished the pot of meat soup. Chu Beichen opened the door, took some snow from outside, and came in to wash the pots and bowls.
When they first started living at home, the two found that there were so many things missing from this place. For example, in this kind of weather, the house must have a water storage device, preferably a small water tank, or a jar will also do. In addition, they also need a set of cleaning tools.
It seems that this new world is not friendly to them.
