Farming in the Beast World: I Lead the Orphan Beast Husband to Become Rich
Chapter 38 Sheds and Cellars
Six days had passed since the first hunting day after the rain.
Although it has only been six days, the weather has gotten cold very quickly. It is no exaggeration to say that the temperature has dropped drastically.
After Lin Xi came back from collecting on the first day, he took advantage of the free time in the evening to make a pair of gloves, a hat, a scarf and a mask for himself and Wu Chen.
She also made the scarf short and buttoned it in the front.
This avoids the hassle and heaviness of having to make a long fence.
The grass leaves on the hillside outside had all turned yellow and dry in just a few days, but fortunately some color of leaves could still be seen in the forest in the distance.
Therefore, compared with the gradual progress of the carnivorous orcs in winter storage, the herbivorous orcs are obviously more busy and anxious.
Because they have to store as much food as possible before all the leaves in the forest fall.
Otherwise, when all the leaves in the forest have fallen, the edible food in the forest will almost all wither, freeze, or be eaten by passing birds and animals!
In the past few days, Lin Xi has been going out to collect things with Grandma Xueying and Xuetian, and the harvest has been quite great.
Most of the food collected were black worm fruit, purple fruit and sweetleaf grass, which are also the three most common edible foods in the forest.
In addition to these, rolling fruit grass, sour fruit and small sweet fruit are also the focus of Linxi's collection.
These three kinds of food are the three most important seasonings when she cooks now. In order to satisfy her appetite, they are absolutely indispensable this winter.
As for the yellow multi-seeded fruit and hairy peach that were eaten as fruits, Lin Xi did not look for them deliberately. Most of the time, she would just pick them when she saw them. After all, these two things could not fill her stomach.
Neither Lin Xi nor Wu Chen went out today.
Because last night, Bai Nu sent five more giant beasts.
Including the eight giant beasts that Bai Nu had sent before, there were only two left that were owed to Lin Xi.
There is a lot of meat from the five giant beasts. Fortunately, the weather has turned cold now, so the processed meat will not go bad so quickly even if it is not pickled.
Among these five giant beasts, two were the same brown bears that Wu Chen had killed.
The other three were animals that were about the same size as an elephant, but had a square face and two small, saw-toothed horns on their foreheads that were the length of two palms.
Because its hair is black, the orcs call it the black beast.
Lin Xi really likes the taste of this black beast meat!
Although it looks big in size, the meat is very tender and juicy after being roasted. It feels very similar to beef, but tastes even more tender.
Moreover, probably because the main food of this animal is a plant that tastes close to milk and is called green pearl grass by the orcs, the taste of this black animal meat always has a scent of vanilla and milk.
When Lin Xi ate it for the first time, he thought it was amazing!
Unfortunately, green bead grass only grows in the eastern forest, and the eastern forest is full of dangers. Even the male orcs in the tribe don't go there. It is even more impossible for Lin Xi to let Wu Chen take risks for a piece of grass.
However, this time, when Bai Nu left, she asked Bai Nu to help her see if there were any green grass seeds that she could bring back if she happened to come across green grass when she went hunting next time, or to just dig a few plants back.
Anyway, Bai Nu still needs to go hunting in the forest a few more times for the tribe, so this is a good opportunity to do so.
Early this morning, Wu Chen processed the five giant beast skins and then hung them outside the cave to dry over a fire.
Lin Xi sat in front of the fire, watching the fire while boiling the fat of the two brown bears into meat oil.
Wu Chen went outside the tribe and dragged back a lot of wood.
Lin Xi planned to build a shed outside the cave to store meat for the winter, and then dig a cellar next to the shed to store the vegetables and wild fruits.
There is always a fire in the cave now, and the temperature is too high to store food in it.
I'll take advantage of the time today and ask Wu Chen to get more wood. After we finish hunting and gathering in a few days, we'll use it to make two cabinets in the cave.
When building a shed, because the shed is only used to store things and not for living, the requirements for the size and sophistication of the shed are much smaller, and the construction speed is much faster.
Before noon, the outline of the shed had basically taken shape.
Lin Xi took a walk inside.
The shed was built in the simplest cone shape, with a round ground at the bottom, a pointed corner on top, and a load-bearing column in the middle.
The space in the shed was not big, about 20 square meters, and it was also very high. Lin Xi looked up and estimated that it was at least about six meters.
This way, you can build shelves in the shed and expand the storage space.
After building the shed, Wu Chen continued to follow Lin Xi's instructions and began to dig a cellar next to the shed.
By the time the cellar was dug, Lin Xi's meat oil had been cooked.
All the boiled oil was poured out and left there to cool. Lin Xi took advantage of this time to make a wooden door for the shed and the cellar.
She also built two rows of three-layer wooden racks inside the shed using stone bricks and wood to store the processed meat.
After everything was ready, Lin Xi and Wu Chen moved out all the food that had been stored at home during this period.
There was already a lot of bacon stored at home. Lin Xi placed all the bacon on the wooden shelf on the left and arranged them one by one.
The fresh meat is placed on the wooden rack on the right, stored separately from the marinated meat, making it easy to take when it is time to eat.
The sweetleaf grass and mushrooms that had been dried earlier were strung together by Lin Xi using animal skin ropes.
She nailed two circles of bone nails on the wall of the shed, and then hung the dried vegetables and mushrooms on the wall to save space.
In addition, she also roasted nearly two baskets of various dried wild fruits.
She mixed them all together and moved them to a corner of the shed.
When you want to eat, just come here and fill up some.
The fresh leaves and wild fruits collected in the past few days were all moved into the cellar.
Lin Xi asked Wu Chen to build several rows of wooden shelves in the cellar, just like the ones in the shed.
Because after the cellar is covered, the air will become stuffy over time, and with these wooden racks, the vegetables and wild fruits can be spread out and stored without the fruits and leaves underneath getting suffocated due to too much material piled up.
After Wu Chen put all the fruits in the cellar away and crawled out, Lin Xi closed the cellar door.
The setting sun outside gradually turned towards the mountain, and the shadow of the wooden stick that Lin Xi had inserted into the ground turned towards the northeast.
It was around four o'clock in the afternoon and the tribe was very quiet. Most of the orcs who had gone out would have to wait for more than two hours before coming back.
Lin Xi thought about it and prepared to drag Wu Chen to the nearby woods. Time was running out, so even if they could find a little more food, it would be good.
However, just as they were preparing to take the things they wanted and had just walked to the gate of the tribe, they suddenly came face to face with a group of huge beasts running back towards the tribe at a rapid speed.
The beasts ran while shouting, "Go find Wu! Jin Gan is injured!
Jin Gan is going to die!"
