Chapter 68: Offering Flowers to
Buddha Jiujiu's skin is relatively thin, and it quickly became red and swollen after being caught, but it was not seriously injured.
After Jian Mo examined it and disinfected it slightly, it was almost healed.
It was just that it was not seriously injured, but it must have had a psychological shadow. After returning home, it lay in the nest in a depressed mood, looking very depressed.
Jian Mo felt very distressed when he saw it, and cursed the white bear several times in his heart. He made a cake specially to appease Jiujiu.
When Jiujiu was eating the cake, he didn't dare to spit it out, for fear that someone would snatch it away, so he could only hide the cake in his cheeks and eat it slowly.
Jian Mo looked at its cute appearance like a hamster, and cursed the white bear again.
Such a cute little guy actually had the heart to bully him, that beastman was really outrageous.
Jian Mo became more and more angry as he thought about it. If the beastman didn't bring candy to apologize, he and Wu Jiong would go to the door and complain to the elders.
Let the people of Bingjiang tribe beat up the white bear beastman!
Jian Mo's imagined complaint did not happen.
The next day, the white bear Muchu came to apologize with a swollen head and candy, and was forced by their tribe leader to apologize.
"I'm sorry." Muchu said dejectedly, "I will never be greedy again."
Jian Mo crossed his arms across his chest: "Hehe."
Kangying stretched out his big palm like a palm leaf fan and slapped Muchu on the back of the neck: "It's all the fault of this brat. Doctor Jianmo, do you have anything to do? This kid is strong, just let him do it."
Muchu and Kangying's attitude was like this. Jian Mo looked at them and his anger subsided a little: " Forget it, just don't bully Jiujiu next time."
Muchu said with a bitter face: "How dare I?"
Kangying kicked Muchu again: "Doctor Jianmo, if you don't mind, let this guy clean the place where the flying-winged beast lives, tidy it up carefully, and compensate the flying-winged beast."
Jianmo didn't know whether he should agree or not. The other party had already come to apologize, and they had to grasp a degree. If they went too far, it would be their fault.
Kangying was rough but meticulous. He knew what Jianmo was thinking as soon as he saw his character, and took the initiative to say: "It doesn't matter, let him go, and teach him a lesson."
Wu Jiong nodded: "This kid really should learn."
So, Muchu was forced to clean Jiujiu's nest.
Jiujiu was a little scared at first, but after seeing his friendly attitude and no longer bullying the beast, he became happy and flapped his wings and chirped for a long time.
Jian Mo felt that Jiujiu was taking pleasure in the misfortune of others, but since it was his own beast, he just turned a blind eye.
Wu Jiong patted Jiujiu and told it to go out and play, so as not to disturb Muchu from cleaning.
Jiujiu flew out quickly.
Leaving Muchu in the backyard, Jian Mo and Wu Jiong invited Kangying into the house for tea.
After a round of tea, Kang Ying took out a bag of sugar cubes and a bag of nuts from the basket on his back and asked Jian Mo, "Doctor Jian Mo, your skill in making sugar is really great. Can you help us make some? Just give us half after you make it, and you can keep the other half as a reward."
Jian Mo immediately realized that Kang Ying was compensating him again, and he felt a little embarrassed, "No need. Making sugar is very simple. Just melt the sugar and pour the roasted nut pieces in and mix well. After it cools down, it will be nut candy."
Kang Ying smiled, "Hey, you gave us the secret recipe, so I'll give you half of the sugar as a reward."
Jian Mo also smiled : "What kind of secret recipe is this? It's really nothing. Chief Kangying, take the candy back. There's no need to do this."
Kangying: "I've brought it all."
Jian Mo: "Then leave this bag of nuts for us. We like to eat nuts."
Kangying thought about it and said, "I'm so sorry this time."
Jian Mo saw that he was really sincere and comforted him: "Don't mind it. If it weren't for this incident, you wouldn't have come here, and we wouldn't have communicated. So some things that happen are not necessarily bad things."
Kangying sighed with emotion: "What you said makes sense."
After drinking tea, Kangying took Muchu, who had just cleaned up the Jiujiu nest, to leave.
Jian Mo and Wu Jiong went out to see them off, and forced them to give them a small bag of nut candy as a return gift for the nuts they brought. Kangying
couldn't persuade Jian Mo, so he finally accepted it.
Both parties said goodbye in a friendly manner.
As soon as they left the riverside tribe, Muchu pestered Kangying for a piece of candy, and ate it slowly, and the whole bear became happy again.
Kangying was helpless: "Why do you like this candy so much?"
Muchu: "It's delicious, you should try it, chief."
Kangying: "I won't try it, I'll take it back and let Yiwang and his friends learn how to make it."
Muchu held the candy in his cheek: "I think the candy made in our tribe may be different. The candy made by Doctor Jianmo is soft and sticky, not as hard as ordinary candy."
Kangying's paws were itchy, and he couldn't help it, and patted Muchu on the back: "If it's different, it's different, just eat it together!"
After sending Kangying and Muchu away, Wu Jiong went to take care of the affairs in the tribe, and Jianmo went to see the various crops he had planted.
The weather is good today. It is a little warmer outside and relatively dry. I guess I need to water the crops.
When Jian Mo was watering the crops by the river, he saw a group of big cats and dogs swimming in the water. They were Ban Ming and his friends.
Looking closely, the cubs in the tribe were also swimming in the river.
Some of the cubs were too weak to sit on the big cats and dogs. They were mostly covered by the hair of the big cats and dogs, with only a round head exposed.
There are orcs and sub-beastmen among these cubs. Jian Mo took a look and found that almost all the cubs in the tribe were here.
Orcs and sub-beastmen are different from pure humans, and even more different from the modern humans he has come into contact with.
Swimming in the river is basically their daily activity. Their parents don't care, and Jian Mo can't possibly interfere.
Fortunately, the young people in the tribe were reliable and the river was relatively shallow, so nothing would really happen.
Jian Mo looked at the river and couldn't help asking the guys, "Don't you feel cold?"
The big cats and dogs answered every question and said enthusiastically, "It's okay, not too cold. Brother Jian Mo, do you want to go down and swim? We'll help you water the river later."
Jian Mo looked at the broken ice by the river and said, "Thank you, I can't stand it."
The big cats and dogs said, "It's okay, spring has already come, and it's not too cold."
Jian Mo was puzzled: "Is it considered spring now?"
The big cats and dogs said,
"It's OK as long as the ice has melted. No one has announced when spring will arrive."
"I think it's OK. I saw flowers blooming in the woods yesterday."
"Yes, yes, the algae at the bottom of the river have also grown. For me, spring has arrived."
Jian Mo listened to them talking and decided to go back and ask Wu Jiong later.
Others may not know, but Wu Jiong must know better.
The big cats and dogs finally managed to talk to Jian Mo, and they seemed particularly enthusiastic: "Brother Jian Mo, how are your crops growing?"
Jian Mo: "Not bad, they have sprouted. When I go back, I can pick some to cook."
The big cats and dogs responded enthusiastically again:
"That sounds great."
"Brother Jian Mo, the algae in the river can also be eaten. Do you want some? If you do, we can pick some for you." "Yes
, yes, this algae tastes good. I'm going to pick some to take home later. Brother Jian Mo, can I bring some for you too?"
"Brother Jian Mo, if you don't want to eat it, you can give it to Jiujiu. It tastes better than ordinary grass."
"Yes, it can also be used to feed Jiujiu. Then you should pick more later!"
Jian Mo smiled and said to them, "Okay, be careful when you go down to pick it."
"Brother Jian Mo, don't worry. We will be above the water as soon as we stand up. We will never be drowned!"
The big cats and dogs received some important work, so they went back to get the baskets and scooped up ten baskets for Jian Mo.
After seeing this, Jian Mo was silent for a while: "Let Jiujiu eat it. It will take at least three days."
The big cats and dogs smiled and said, "Then eat it for three days. If it doesn't work, you can dry it in the sun and let it eat it slowly in the future."
Jian Mo smiled: "If it can talk, I really have to thank you."
The big cats and dogs said, "Let it be polite. People can also eat this algae. It tastes no worse than the pearl algae of the Jintuo tribe. Brother Jian Mo, you can pick some tender shoots to eat."
Jian Mo: "I know, we will try it tonight."
Jian Mo originally planned to pick some tendon grass to make fried eggs, but since there was algae, he replaced the fried eggs with algae egg soup.
Just make a big pot and give more to Jiujiu.
Algae soup with oil, salt and bird eggs is definitely more delicious than pure algae, and will be more popular with Jiujiu.
There is too much algae today, Jian Mo found the largest ceramic pot, added most of the pot of water into it, and scooped a large piece of animal oil.
The water soon boiled, and Jian Mo poured the washed and chopped algae into it.
After a little cooking, the algae changed color and exuded the unique delicious aroma of algae.
He poured in the scattered egg liquid, and after the egg flowers were cooked, the whole pot of soup looked even more charming.
The soup here is ready, and the meat pie that Jian Mo put on the stone slab is also fried to a crispy crust.
He took a look, picked out the meat cakes that he and Wu Jiong had eaten, scooped out a bowl of soup, and planned to bring the remaining soup and meat cakes to Jiujiu.
The frozen meat had been frozen for a whole winter. Now that spring has arrived and the weather has warmed up, the freshness of the meat has been greatly reduced.
He planned to make various foods from the meat and give some to Jiujiu as well, so as to use them up as soon as possible.
Jian Mo fed Jiujiu while thinking about his own things.
Jiujiu was very supportive of every kind of food that Jian Mo made, and today was no exception. It "chirped" and quickly finished most of the food. From time to time, it looked at Jian Mo expectantly with its round eyes, and its emotional value was at its maximum.
Jian Mo was eating with him in the backyard. When he heard Wu Jiong coming back, he patted his fat butt and said, "Take your time to eat. I'm going to go back first."
Jiujiu looked up from his busy schedule and said happily, "Jiujiu!"
Jian Mo returned to the front yard and said hello to Wu Jiong who had just returned, "I have prepared dinner. Wash your hands and eat."
Wu Jiong: "What did you cook today? It has a special fresh smell."
Jian Mo looked at him, "Guess, see if you can guess it?"
Wu Jiong: "Food in the water?"
Jian Mo was surprised, "You can guess this?"
Wu Jiong touched his nose, "The smell is different."
Jian Mo could only raise his thumb.
The rice was cooked for a while, and Jian Mo still put it on the stone slab, warming it with the residual heat of the stone slab.
Unexpectedly, when it was brought to the table, Jian Mo found that the soup had solidified.
He uttered "Huh", scooped it up with a spoon, and soon found that it had indeed solidified into a gelatinous substance.
Wu Jiong heard the noise and came over to see: "What's wrong?"
Jian Mo: "The soup is cold, a little strange."
Wu Jiong touched the soup bowl with the back of his hand: "It's not too cold, you can drink it, this kind of algae soup is like this, it turns into lumps after being boiled."
Jian Mo scooped soup for the two of them: "Then it's not considered soup, right?"
Wu Jiong: "It's all water anyway, it can be digested quickly after drinking it."
The two sat on both sides of the table and started to eat dinner.
Jian Mo scooped up the soup and took a sip, his mouth full of gelatin, a bit like eating ice jelly, but it was a little thinner than ordinary ice jelly and not so chewy, probably because there was relatively less algae.
The taste was normal, but the texture was a bit strange.
Jian Mo took two more bites and put the bowl down: "This is so weird, this is my first time eating salty ice jelly, let's give it to Jiujiu later."
Wu Jiong: "Ice jelly?"
Jian Mo frowned: "It's this kind of gelatinous stuff. We make ice jelly there, but it's always sweet. The salty feeling is weird."
Wu Jiong took the soup bowl from him: "Give it to me."
Jian Mo: "It's okay if you can eat it. I only accept sweet ones."
Wu Jiong: "Then make sweet ones tomorrow."
Jian Mo thought about it and became interested: "Okay, let's use tutuo milk, add some sugar, and some chopped nuts, it's cool and springy, it should taste very good."
Ice jelly is very simple to make, just add water and soak it, it shouldn't be too difficult to make it directly with seaweed.
Jian Mo thought that this batch of seaweed was picked up by the young people in the tribe, so Gan Cui called them over when making ice jelly.
Everyone heard about the new food, and they were more enthusiastic than the other.
"Brother Jian Mo, what are we going to do?"
"Let us help."
"Just wash the algae and pound it? Can we eat it when it's so sticky?"
"Hey, Ah Hu, why are you hitting me? Okay, okay, I won't ask any more questions, just pound it."
"Brother Jian Mo, wait for us, we'll be back soon!"
Jian Mo didn't expect them to be so active. Some were pounding the algae, and some were peeling nuts. He had nothing to do, so he started to boil the sugar water.
He added the tuk-tuk milk squeezed today to the sugar water. There wasn't much tuk-tuk milk left, but the mellow milk added to the water still brought a different flavor.
When the water boiled, he added honey cubes, and the whole pot of sugar water became even more tempting.
It has to be said that after boiling, some nutrients may be lost, but the sense of security brought by disinfection is really enough.
The cubs were disliked by the young people, so they did not go out to pound algae or nuts. They stayed at home with Jian Mo, but they stared at the sugar water with their big round eyes, expectantly, and their saliva was almost flowing out.
Jian Mo filtered the sugar water, put the pot steadily on the table, and told them: "Stand far away, don't get close to the table."
Sugar water is too dangerous, much more dangerous than ordinary boiled water.
The cubs stood far away very obediently and supervised each other.
Jian Mo looked at them and smiled, "Be good, help me put the bowls away."
The cubs nodded and quickly came over to put the bowls away.
The young people first brought back the pounded algae. Jian Mo scooped water in and used a cloth to scrub out the gelatin in the algae, then put it in a large pot to cook.
There was a faint smell after the algae was cooked, and the water in the pot was obviously different from clear water, as thick as soup.
After boiling, Jian Mo directly scooped the water into bowls and waited for them to cool down slowly.
The pounded nuts were also brought back, and Jian Mo slowly fried them on the stone slab.
There is no technical content required to fry nuts, and everyone looked at the large bowl on the table.
The young people couldn't help but said:
"Is this all? It doesn't look special."
"Is it the same as ice? It's just solidified water."
"Oh, it's solidified, brother Jian Mo, can we eat it now?"
Jian Mo turned back in the middle of his busy work: "Not yet, we have to wait a little longer. If you are free, take the knife on the table and help me cut the ice jelly in the bowl into small cubes."
Ban Ming: "How do you cut it?"
Jian Mo: "Cut it any way you want, as long as it's small cubes. Don't make it too small, about the size of Banqiu's paw."
The kitten Banqiu raised his furry paw to show his brother: "Meow? "
Jian Mo saw the kitten spread its paws, revealing its cute paw pads, and smiled: "Yes, a piece that big will do. The knife has been washed, just use it directly."
The young men immediately stepped forward: "Don't worry, we got it."
They quickly cut the bowls of ice jelly into small pieces and asked: "Then what?"
Jian Mo: "Then pour the sugar water in, don't pour too much, just scoop a spoonful into each bowl."
When the ice jelly was solidifying in the bowl just now, basically every bowl of ice jelly was the same.
Now pour the sugar water in again, one spoonful per bowl, the product is very standard, so that everyone will not scramble for it later.
The young man did as Jian Mo said and quickly poured the sugar water in.
As soon as the sugar water was poured in, the ice jelly in the bowl immediately looked tempting.
Everyone looked at Jian Mo eagerly, asking him with their eyes whether they could eat it.
Jian Mo poured out the fried nut crumbs and handed them to Ban Ming: "Put a small spoonful in each bowl, and the person who poured the nuts will get the ice jelly last."
The young people shouted: "We will ensure fairness."
Jian Mo smiled: "I believe this."
The conditions were limited, so Jian Mo prepared a bowl of ice jelly for everyone. The number of people present determined the amount of ice jelly on the table.
The extra half pot in the pot was reserved for Wu Jiong and Jiujiu, and no one could touch it.
Everyone divided the work and cooperated, and soon it was divided.
Jian Mo said: "Everyone take a bowl each, and the cubs should be careful when eating, so as not to bite them."
There are no particularly small cubs in the tribe. The smallest ones, Banjiu, are larger than ordinary puppies. Eating a bowl of ice jelly with nuts should not cause any trouble.
Ban Ming immediately said, "The people who just distributed the nuts, please wait a moment, the others can take first."
The kids immediately reached out and took the ice jelly down.
They were supervising the distribution just now, and each bowl of ice jelly was indeed almost the same.
Jian Mo looked at everyone and smiled: "There are not so many spoons, so let's share."
Everyone responded enthusiastically:
"It's okay, Brother Jian Mo, it doesn't matter if we eat it in big mouthfuls!"
"The taste of this ice jelly is really special! I like it."
"I declare that I can make it, and I will make it for my dad and others when I go back."
"I didn't expect algae to be made like this, I thought it could only be made into soup. Brother Jian Mo, how did you think of adding syrup and nuts? It's really special."
Jian Mo picked the question he wanted to answer and answered:
"This way of eating is not something I came up with, we have it here. In addition to adding nuts and syrup, you can also add fresh fruits."
"You can try it in the summer when there are more fruits."
"The weather is hot, and the cool and soft ice jelly will taste better than it does now. It's very refreshing."
There are not many snacks here, and Jian Mo told all the ways to eat ice jelly he knew.
It would be nice to give everyone a toothpaste.
Making ice powder is indeed very simple, and Jian Mo explained it in detail.
When Xiao Zai and the young people returned home, they told their families that almost every family in the tribe had eaten ice powder.
The next day, Jian Mo asked everyone to help make tablecloths in the open space. Everyone was full of praise for the ice powder he taught.
Qing Kuo said: "We used to know that the soup made from algae will solidify if it is cooled down a little, and we were a little disgusted with it. We didn't expect it to be so delicious after adding sugar water."
Jian Mo: "The main thing is to eat the texture and cheat."
Zhou Fu He rushed to say: "That's good. There are very few edible things in the tribe. It's great to have something edible. The most important thing is that this doesn't require cooking skills."
Everyone laughed when they heard this.
At this moment, Xilu looked up and asked, "Are the cubs running towards us?"
Qingkuo: "Hey, what are they holding in their mouths?"
Everyone saw that the cubs, who were not yet able to transform, They ran towards us quickly with something wrapped in leaves in their mouths, their short legs moving quickly.
Some beastmen squatted down to pick up their cubs.
The little boy bypassed his father and ran towards Jian Mo: "Meow, Dad, this is to thank Brother Jian Mo for treating us to ice jelly."
His father laughed so hard: "Have you learned to return the gift?
" The kittens nodded vigorously: "Yes!"
Jian Mo did not expect the kittens to be so polite. Listening to the laughter around him, he pretended to be serious and said: "Thank you very much."
The kittens and puppies were standing up. His hairy chest looked even more proud: "You're welcome."
"My father and the others said that I can't just eat your food, I have to give you something in return."
Jian Moxiao was about to say something when he heard a howling sound from behind.
He turned around and saw Ban Ming and his friends running towards him .
Ban Ming and the others were a little annoyed: "Zhou Dao, you little brats, why are you taking the berries we picked when you should just return the gift to Brother Jian Mo?"
The sturdy little wolf cub Zhou Dao shook his tail a little guiltily and looked at Ban Ming. Ming looked at Jian Mo again and stammered, "Brother Jian Mo, this is given to you by Brother Ban Ming and the others."
Ban Ming: "???" When did they say they would give it to you?
The people around laughed and said, " No matter what, I have to give it to you, Brother Jian Mo, right? "
