Chapter 138
I just don't know if the magician likes fine wine. If the wine can't impress him, Yu Sui really doesn't know what he can offer in exchange. He doesn't have the magic core that the magician likes most, and he can't really use the bag that Qi gave him.
Yu Sui was a little worried, and when he thought that even if he was lucky enough to successfully exchange for the magic book, he would not be able to recognize the characters here, he became even more worried.
He already had a lot of things to do, and now he had to find time to find the dwarves to learn human writing. He was really exhausted.
Uncle Robert has been urging him to learn the dwarven language, but he has refused. The dwarves have been trying to make Yu Sui, a promising young man, understand the dwarven civilization, and wanted to show him various well-preserved parchment drawings, but unfortunately Yu Sui is illiterate.
He scratched his head in distress. If the dwarves took the opportunity to teach him the dwarven language while he was learning human language, Yu Sui would feel a headache just thinking about it.
Why is he so excited no matter where he goes? He is a homebody whose dream is to just lie down. Now he is under a lot of pressure every day and starts thinking about all kinds of things as soon as he opens his eyes.
If I had known this earlier, I would not have agreed to be the clan leader. He couldn't even lie down properly. He already had a comfortable kang, but in the end he didn't enjoy it for a few days.
After complaining in his heart, Yu Sui resigned himself to his fate and bent down to fish out the fluff that was still being washed.
As his thoughts changed, the vortex in the basin stopped.
The freezing temperature outside caused the water to become icy cold. If the water hadn't been constantly swirling under the influence of the wind, it would have frozen by now.
Yu Sui grinned as he took out the ball of fluff from the cold water, thinking that next time he would try to combine the magic of water and fire to see if he could make hot water, so as to avoid the trouble of boiling water.
If other magicians knew the purpose of Yu Sui's magic, they would probably be so angry that their noses would smoke. After all, with such a good talent, he was always thinking about how to use it for home use.
The dust and blood stains on the duck down had been washed clean, cleaner than when Yu Sui washed it by hand. Satisfied, he took the down and spread it out on the kang in the bedroom.
When Qi saw the familiar fluff and thought of the time when he and Yu Sui used it to make a quilt, a smile appeared in his eyes.
"Are these going to be made into quilts too?"
Yu Sui wiped the water stains off his hands and took a look at the flame he had lit before. To his surprise, the flame in the kang hole was still burning and had not been extinguished.
He didn't expect that the flame he condensed could burn for so long. In the future, he could save a lot of coal and firewood when he was at home.
Hearing Qi's question, Yu Sui, in a cheerful mood, answered in a cheerful tone: "I have enough quilts at home. After drying these, I can save them and fill them into clothes. They are light and warm to wear."
When he heard about making clothes, Notting went to the window and looked at the kang. "I don't know when I can wear my sweater. Can you make me a set of clothes with this wool?"
Xu slapped him on the back of the head from behind, the sound was crisp and loud.
"This down is even harder to come by than wool. You're dreaming! If you want to wear it, go catch some pheasants and shelducks."
Notting rubbed his head in frustration, "Isn't it okay for me to catch it?"
Yu Sui chuckled beside him, "It's really hard to get much down from wild ones. Once we succeed in breeding them and have a large number of chickens and ducks, everyone will have no problem wearing down jackets or using down quilts."
The pie-in-the-sky master Yu Sui once again used his skills on everyone, fooling Notting so much that stars appeared in his eyes, and Lian Xu also showed a longing expression on his face.
Seeing this, Yu Sui struck while the iron was hot: "Cotton-filled clothes and quilts are also very comfortable. Next year we must work hard on farming. We can set aside some grain to feed chickens and ducks, and plant more cotton. Then everyone can cover themselves with quilts and wear cotton clothes."
Notting was looking forward to farming next year even more, even though he was the one who had trouble adapting at first...
Qi glanced at Yu Sui with amusement, and Yu Sui winked at him slyly.
After glancing at the two of them speechlessly and then looking at the silly Notting, Xu decided not to get involved. He stood up and walked to the remaining white rabbits, peeled them with quick movements, and cleaned their internal organs.
Like Qi, Xu reserved the rabbit paws and rabbit head for Yu Sui.
Knowing that the down from chickens and ducks could be used, Xu put the pheasant down he brought back into a basin and chopped the pheasant into pieces.
Every year, some of each kind of meat is set aside, and the rest is placed in a clean pile of snow and covered with snow. It won't take long for the meat to be frozen hard and can be preserved for a long time without spoiling.
The hedgehog's body was as big as a truck, so naturally it had plenty of internal organs. He thought of Ashan who hurried back to prepare the food. The tribesmen were in for a treat today.
Yu Sui hadn't eaten fresh offal for a long time, and he was a little greedy. Although they had caught fresh prey on the way to the beach, unfortunately, except for a few days of refining salt, they had to rush on the road and had no time to clean the offal, so they could only reluctantly throw them away.
Who makes it so difficult to wash the internal organs? It is a delicate job and it is not convenient to get water when you are on the road.
Today I can finally enjoy a feast. Yu Sui prefers pig offal, especially the intestines, which are fatter than those of other monsters. After washing, there is basically no fishy smell, and after being cooked, they are fat and glutinous.
Yu Sui's mouth was watering just thinking about it. Qi had already cleaned the porcupine's internal organs, and the internal organs of other chickens, ducks and rabbits had also been cleaned by Ashan and Xu. The clean white internal organs were piled in the yard, and the amount was also astonishing.
If a human came across this scene, they would be scared to death. After all, the yard was full of hearts, livers, lungs, and tangled intestines, and the heads of various monsters were piled up like a mountain. It was really creepy.
The yard was still too small, so Yu Sui put the meat next to the pieces and put the uneaten internal organs next to them, and covered them with snow to freeze them.
Winter is still the best time. The meat won’t rot. You can freeze it and put it next to the house without any odor. It’s like a natural refrigerator.
However, ever since Yu Sui got along well with everyone, these snow wolves always liked to send him food. When they lived in the mud house before, the animal skin tent used to store things was always piled full. The monster meat that could not be eaten was dried into jerky. Yu Sui didn't like to eat it, so he just left it casually in the basement.
Now that his new home has a large basement and a decent-sized yard, people are more willing to bring him things. There are still various fruits picked for him by Qiu Tianqi and others in the basement that he hasn't finished eating.
Lu and his collection team often picked wild vegetables for Yu Sui. Even though these carnivores did not understand why Yu Sui liked to eat green leaves, they would still pick them for him when they saw them.
Yu Sui’s cellar had a great ability to preserve fresh vegetables, so he didn’t finish eating all the wild vegetables. The main reason was that he was always busy outside and had little time to waste.
