My Salted Fish Life in the Beast World
Chapter 32 Rice
Ming followed his memory and passed through layers of peaks and valleys, and stopped at a relatively flat hilly terrain.
Ming and the two eagles both flew relatively low and steadily. When the two nights and the moon landed, they did not feel bird-sick or "airsick". They were still energetic.
"Oh roar~~~~~" Shi Erye raised her hands like a trumpet and roared twice, and the valley responded to her twice.
"Look! It's so beautiful here!" He said happily, holding Yue's hand, walked forward and pointed it out to her.
The sun shines through the clouds, filling the entire valley. A gentle river flows down from the mountain. Layer upon layer, like terraced fields, golden rice grows on the land. If you don't know it, you will definitely not pay attention to it. But in Shi Erye's eyes, it is a delicious dish!
"So many! We're going to make a fortune!" Shi Erye pulled Yue and said excitedly to Ming.
Yue picked up a seed with her hand. "I've seen this plant before. There are some herbivores in the North that eat it when it's still young. When it's old like this, they'll be collected and used to get through the cold season. But it doesn't taste good. Occasionally, you'll see birds pecking at it!"
"The taste is bad because it's not processed. Do they just pick fruits and wild vegetables and cook them directly?" Shi Erye could imagine the scene of the orcs eating rice directly. It would be strange if the rice without peeling didn't hurt the mouth.
"Cooked?" Yue thought for a moment and shook her head. "No, I think they eat it raw!"
"Eat it raw?" Shi Erye was very surprised. He thought Lü Bu was invincible, but he didn't expect that there was someone even more brave. Eat rice raw? That's really brave! "Hmm... the teeth of herbivores are really good..." Hehe...
"It's probably for survival. The herbivorous orcs are small and weak and have little combat power, but they have learned the skills of escaping and saving their lives well! When the cold season comes, they have no food and will starve to death." Ming interrupted.
"Well... hey! It's all just to survive in such a harsh environment." Shi Erye sighed.
"Yes, it's all for survival. But, Ye, if you encounter herbivorous orcs in the future, don't take it lightly. They have many tricks up their sleeves." Ming added.
"Hmm? Aren't herbivorous beastmen supposed to be relatively gentle and timid?" In Shi Erye's mind, non-aggressive animals were classified as cute and harmless.
"That's not necessarily true! Do you think they don't want to eat meat? They just can't snatch it away, so they have to eat grass instead. You think they won't attack and hunt, they are just weighing the pros and cons and calculating the difference in strength between the two sides. The pride and complacency of many carnivorous orcs often make them fall flat on their faces at the hands of herbivorous orcs!" Ming once saw with his own eyes that the herbivorous orcs divided up and ate the bodies of their dead companions!
Where did they care about family ties and friendships? How could they help each other? In a situation of extreme hunger, the strong would eat the weaker and brothers would kill each other. This was a common occurrence!
After hearing Ming's words, Shi Erye thought silently for a while, and remembered that when he was a child in his hometown, he saw a drunk man returning home late at night. He climbed into a pigsty. When he was found the next day, half of his face had been eaten by pigs.
There was also a news report about an old lady who lived with cats and dogs. She was not discovered until several days after her death. When she was found, she had been eaten beyond recognition by her cats and dogs.
Just thinking about it makes me shudder! Fortunately, I reminded myself, otherwise, with my preconceived ideas, I would have suffered a great loss.
I rubbed my arms to get rid of the goose bumps. I was grateful for Ming's reminder. "Don't worry, I've taken note of what you said. I'll be a good boy~" I said as I made a heart shape with my hands!
Ming put down his work and responded to Xiao Xinxin. Haha... this is a new skill he has learned. It seems that Ye likes it every time!
Shi Erye certainly likes this kind of girl, with the mind of a puppy, the physique of a wolf, and the beauty of a high-class girl. He has all the ideal types in one, and the most important thing is that he even gave himself a heart!
"Wakaka..." Is this a foul?
Yue understood everything. She stood there shining brightly like the sun, just to illuminate them and serve as a small prop for their sweet interaction.
Hey, I'd better find something to do, otherwise, I'll always feel uncomfortable. It's great to be young.
"Mother? Where are you going?" Shi Erye asked hurriedly when he saw Yue was about to leave alone.
"Ah? I'm going over there to cut rice. I have a bone knife!" Yue turned around and answered.
Shi Erye finally remembered the main business. Paddy, rice, rice. In the farming era without machines, every process had to be done by oneself. Looking at the big tiger with two claws, which was so fast that it left afterimages, I couldn't help but sigh, fortunately! Fortunately! Although there are no machines, we have strength!
"Mother! It's enough to harvest Youming. Let's complete the next step." Shi Erye said.
"The next step!? Where is it? What is it?" Yue asked excitedly and curiously. Finally, there is a task that makes me shine? So excited, isn't it~
"Yes, after the rice is harvested, we have to turn it into millet. After the millet is harvested, we have to turn it into rice." Shi Erye carefully explained the process to Yue.
"There are no machines here, and we don't have time to make a millstone. Let's just knock it down."
"Beat him down? How?" Yue's mind was filled with the image of beating up a villain. Should he be beaten while scolding him? That was a bit of a waste of saliva.
Shi Erye looked around and spotted a stone. It was waist-high. Not thick, long, and solid. Hmm... that was it.
"Mother, let's go to that stone to fight." As he said this, he picked up a bundle of rice, walked behind the stone, threw down the rice, took out a large piece of animal skin from the space and spread it on the large stone slab under the stone.
Yue followed suit and helped her spread the hides. "Is that all? And then?"
"Okay, then we can start beating. Just watch me first." As he said that, Shi Erye picked up a small bundle of rice, walked behind the stone, lifted the rice, and hit it hard against the stone. Puff, swish, swish... The golden rice grains were beaten down.
Yue's eyes lit up! "So that's how you beat the rice!" She quickly picked up a bundle of rice and started beating it too.
Because no one was harvesting, the rice was growing well, the weather was good, and there was no rainy season. The rice grains were dry and easy to harvest.
"Hey! Ye! You know what, it's quite fun!" Yue felt a sense of relief!
"Yeah! It's very relaxing, right?"
"Decompression?"
"Yeah, it means that I usually stay at home and do a lot of trivial things. When I harvest rice, my mind is free and I feel very happy."
"Oh~oh! Oh! It's really relaxing! Very stress-relieving!"
Ming stretched his waist and looked over. The two females were talking and laughing, so lively! He saw the two people again. The rice at their feet was getting less. He shouted at the two eagles. The two eagles flew in front of him. "You two, take these rice over there." He pointed at the rice on the ground, and then pointed at Yue and Shi Erye.
The second eagle thought for a moment and nodded! With its two powerful claws, it grabbed bundles of rice and brought them to the two men!
Shi Erye was stunned. How could he not have thought of this operation? It was really a case of using a butcher knife to kill a chicken. Brother Diao also made full use of it... He took out some dried meat to thank Er Diao!
The two eagles worked harder after eating the delicious dried meat. The big tiger had to speed up, which made the two rice threshers very busy.
"Uh... heh..." Silly, thank you so much... Shi Erye, exhausted, took out some fruit and water and handed them to Yue. "Mom! Take a rest!"
Yue took the water and fruit. "Ye~ I'm going to relax today. I've been so stressed out."
Haha...it's your fault that you have two good helpers.
Shi Erye got up, fed Erdiao some water and fruit, and when he saw that the rice was almost ready, he said to Erdiao, "It's done. Thank you. No need to transport it anymore. Go and have fun."
The second eagle let out a long cry in its throat, as if in response, "Humph! A weak female is just a piece of cake for us." The sound stopped, and it flew away proudly.
"Uh..." "Did they just now, um... look down on me?" Shi Erye turned and asked Yue.
Yue suppressed a smile, "It's not like, it's the truth." Fearing that Shi Erye would be sad, she comforted him, "They look down on me too. They are only respectful to Ming's fathers because they were beaten into submission when they were subdued."
"Uh..." Thank you! I was not comforted. This reminded me of the parrot in the zoo that swore at tourists. After receiving complaints, the professional staff was asked to correct it. The result was that if you give food, you will say welcome! Wish you good luck! If you don't give food, you will say stupid B.
I was eating and drinking well, trying to please them, but in the end, I was still looked down upon by the birds. It was really like a bird looking down on a human. "Ahaha... this is so unfair!"
At this time, Ming also returned to her side with the remaining rice. "What's the matter?" Ming asked after hearing Shi Erye's complaints.
"Nothing!" Shi Erye would never complain. Just wait and see, sooner or later, I will make these two idiots look at me with new eyes. The little man in Shi Erye's heart clenched his fists and worked hard.
Two eagles, with their eyes closed, suddenly felt a cool breeze passing by. They sneezed together... When they are used, they are brothers, but when they are not used, they are sand sculptures. I am so difficult to deal with.
"Ming, you're back just in time. Look, this is the rice that my mother and I threshed. I need it now. Can you make me a mortar to pound the rice?"
"Good! You've worked hard!" Ming said, looking at the pile of rice, "Leave the rest to me. You tell me what to do."
"No hurry, eat something first." Shi Erye took out some food and gave it to Ming. "Sit down and take a rest first, I'll tell you slowly."
Ming wanted to say that he was not tired at all, but the little female felt sorry for him. So he just listened and sat next to Shi Erye.
Yuejian was relieved that the two people were in a stable relationship. I should take a rest. I didn't want to be a sunflower anymore. I thought about sitting on the animal skin beside me, leaning against the stone, and conserving my energy.
When Erye saw Yue had eaten and drunk her fill and was taking a nap, he did not disturb her. He just stood beside her, picked a large lotus leaf, and covered the stone above her head to block the sunlight for her.
Then he quietly returned to Ming's side and sat down, fanning them with leaves he had picked. He whispered in his ear how to make the stone mortar, implicitly reminding him that he could use some help.
I understood it immediately, it's in my phone. I nodded to Shi Erye and said, "Yes, Ye explained it very clearly. I know what to do now."
"Do you want me to accompany you?" Shi Erye asked.
"No, it's not difficult. There are suitable stones over there. You are here with mother, you have worked hard. Take a rest." Ming pointed to a pile of stones not far away. "It's over there, it will be done in a while. Call me if you need anything." He stretched out his big tiger claws and clenched them a few times!
Looking at Ming's departing figure, Shi Erye couldn't help but sigh, he really has endless energy! Uh... I'm so tired. I'm going to sleep!
Ming went through the detailed tutorial and started making it quickly. "Swish, swish, swish... whoosh, whoosh..." rocks and waste stones turned into powder and flew all over the sky.
Two eagles standing on a high hill, looking at the scenery.
The eagle looked at the sharp tiger claws and said, "I feel offended."
Diao Er: "What else? I can't beat him, and I can't run away. Oh! Just accept your fate."
Diao Yi: "It's not that there's no benefit, at least there's enough food!"
Diao Er: "Who said it's not? They are a wealthy family!"
Ming finished making the mortar, stood up, wiped the sweat off his face, and looked over at Shi Er! Hmm? It's a bit hot, it seems the rainy season is coming soon.
Er Diao... stop talking! Inner OS: Why did you suddenly look over here? Didn't our conversation expose us? You should shut up! Right! Right! Right! Talk less and do more, and your status in the family will rise! Nothing wrong~ Er Diao figured it out, lowered his head and stopped shouting.
Ming moved the finished stone mortar to the rice field and began to pound the rice. Hearing the sound, Shi Erye also got up to help. Yue, who had slept well, also opened her eyes.
"Yeah~ I just slept for a while, and you guys have already made all the tools." He took the leaves above his head and fanned them as he walked.
"Yes! Mother, I just gave Ming a brief description, and he made the stone mortar. It's amazing. Now we will have rice to eat!" Shi Erye said happily to the moon.
"Oh? Then I'll come and take a look too!" Yue curiously joined in the activity of pounding rice.
Soon, the white rice was pounded out! Perhaps it was because the animal world was pollution-free, with beautiful mountains and clear waters. The rice grains were plump. The pounded rice smelled very fragrant. The wind blew. The two eagles with their heads down could not help but look over. Because of the big tiger, it was better to be sensible and not go over.
"Oh! It smells so good without the shell!" Yue said happily as she looked at the white rice!
"Yeah! I think so too!" Shi Erye narrowed his eyes in delight. "I'll make lunch later and let you guys taste it!"
"Okay..." Ah! Before Yue could reply, a fat chicken flew out from the woods! It rushed towards Da Mi and started to show off!
Ah! ~~ "My rice!"
"It's a cackling beast." Yue said, looking at the fat chicken running all over the ground but still eating.
"I don't care what kind of beast it is! If it eats my rice, it will have to stay here today and be my lunch! I'll catch it tomorrow!" Shi Erye said angrily.
"Okay! Give it to Ye as lunch!" Ming became serious.
Perhaps sensing danger, the fat chicken turned around and made a feint, shaking off Ming who was rushing towards him. Then he dodged and fled into the woods.
Ming turned around and chased into the woods!
"I'll catch it tomorrow and come back to make you beggar's chicken~~~~"
"Okay! Don't worry~~" Ming's voice echoed from the woods.
Ye turned around and saw two silly black eyes staring at him and Yue. Could it be...
"You two also want to eat rice?" Shi Erye asked?
The second eagle nodded and let out a long howl.
Great, now there is a response.
"Sure, Brother Eagle!" He picked up the rice and fed it to the second eagle. "But if you eat my food, you have to help me work. Got it?"
The eagle blinked and nodded. Shi Erye pointed at the bamboos on the mountainside and said, "Do you see the bamboos over there? The kind with nodes and big leaves. You two, go cut two for me later." Looking at the eagle's sharp claws, Shi Erye thought that it shouldn't be difficult for them to do this.
If Brother Eagle knew her idea, he would only laugh at her. Humph! To Master Eagle, it was just a piece of cake! Even if he was asked to carve a flower, it would be easy.
Erdiao nodded and continued to eat. Shi Erye handed the rice to Yue and said, "Mother, you feed them. I'll go prepare the ingredients. When Ming comes back, we can have dinner!"
Yue took the rice and nodded, "If you need help, just call me."
"Well! No need to do anything else, mother will take care of it. Feed them and prepare the bamboo tube. I am going to make bamboo tube rice."
"Okay! Leave the bamboo tube matter to us!" Yue said.
