I've been transported to the orc continent.

After lunch, Bai Ling began making sausages. He found a thick, smooth leaf, rolled it into a funnel shape, put the funnel opening into the sausage casing, held the end of the sausage with one hand, and grabbed a portion of marinated minced meat with the other hand, stuffing it into the sausage casing through the funnel made of the leaf. As he stuffed, he pushed the meat into the casing.

After the sausage casings are filled, twist them a few times and tie a knot every hand-width or so, then secure them with a rope.

Making sausages wasn't difficult, and Bai Ling became more and more skilled at it. Before long, she had used up a whole sausage casing.

"The sausages are now ready," Bai Ling said, holding up the finished sausages. "After they're done, put them in a cool, well-ventilated place to dry. Once they're dry, bring them indoors and hang them in a ventilated spot. As long as it's not the hot summer, they can be stored for one or two months. If you leave them outdoors in winter, they'll freeze quite badly, but they'll still be safe until next spring."

Cai asked, "Ling, how do you eat sausage?"

Bai Ling: "You can boil it in a pot, steam it, or use it to stir-fry dishes; it's delicious all of them."

"We'll steam some tonight and let everyone taste it."

The beastmen all laughed, especially the children standing to one side, who clapped and cheered.

Everything Ling makes is delicious, and this time she made something new, which will surely be delicious as well.

When the hunting party returned in the evening, the chief distributed meat to the members of the hunting party. The intestines, which were usually disliked, were snatched up by the members of the tribe who stayed behind.

The Zhan and the hunting team were all puzzled. After they found out the reason, they realized that Ling had made a new food, which was also a very easy food to preserve.

Cang and Feng were also in the hunting team. When they heard that their son had prepared new food, they both looked proud and couldn't stop smiling.

Bai Ling made a lot of sausages today, but there are more than two hundred or so beastmen in the tribe. Apart from the children, cubs and the elderly, each of the other tribesmen only received a piece of cured meat.

The taste of cured pork is different from boiled or stewed pork. The fat and lean meat are mixed together, making it neither greasy nor dry. The flavor of scallions and ginger neutralizes the fishy smell of the meat. When you take a bite, in addition to the fragrance, there is also oil sizzling out.

This aroma is best paired with tapioca cakes.

Bai Ling had no other seasonings on hand besides salt, ginger, and scallions. In addition, the sausages hadn't been dried yet, so the taste was only so-so. If this kind of sausage had been made and sold, most people would have given it bad reviews or even returned it.

Bai Ling, however, ate with great satisfaction. In this world, being able to eat a bite of sausage was enough for Bai Ling.

The sausages made yesterday were all eaten by the tribespeople. Two baskets of fresh meat were given to Bai Ling, and he traded some more fresh meat with the hunting team. Now the family has three or four hundred catties of fresh meat, enough to make quite a few sausages.

Knowing that Bai Ling was going to make sausages today, Cang, Feng, and Chen didn't go out. There weren't many scallions left at home, so after breakfast, Bai Ling's father, Cang, went to dig for scallions, while Feng and Chen chopped the animal meat into cubes at home, and Bai Ling cleaned the intestines on the side.

As Chen sliced ​​the meat, he reminisced about the sausage he had eaten yesterday. The sausage had a special aroma, and he wished he could eat it more often in the future.

Chen glanced at the fresh meat in the basket beside him and quickened his pace.

Once the minced meat is chopped, it's time to start seasoning. The seasoned minced meat needs to be marinated for at least two hours to make the sausage taste better. While the minced meat is marinating, Bai Ling and Chen are not idle either; they take a bone knife to cut grass.

Feng stayed home sewing animal hides. This year, the family had an unusually large quantity of animal hides, and Feng planned to make several new mattresses and quilts so that they would be warmer in the winter.

There are four sheep beasts at home. The grass in the valley has been almost eaten up by these four sheep beasts, so we will have to cut grass to feed them from now on.

Winters here bring heavy snow, turning everything into a white wonderland where it's difficult to find wild grass. He has to prepare the fodder for the sheep beasts before the snowfall.

Outside the tribe was a grassland covered with all sorts of wild grass. Bai Ling and his brother took bone knives and began to cut the grass. The wild grass in the orc world was much taller than the wild grass on Earth. The two brothers worked quickly and soon cut a lot of grass.

While mowing the lawn, Chen asked, "Brother, my birthday is coming up soon, what delicious food are you going to make for me?"

The orc world has no calendar, so there are no exact dates. Orcs calculate everything they do based on approximate dates.

Chen was born just before winter, so every year when winter is approaching, Cang and Feng would celebrate Chen's birthday.

Winter is only a little over ten days away, and Chen's birthday is indeed approaching.

Bai Ling thought for a moment and said, "In the world I dreamed about, people eat cake and longevity noodles on their birthdays. I can't make a cake right now, so I'll make you longevity noodles instead."

He had quite a few wheat seeds; he could take some out, grind them into flour, and make noodles for his younger brother.

Chen's dark eyes were filled with surprise and curiosity: "Brother, what are longevity noodles? Are they delicious?"

Bai Ling laughed and said, "Longevity noodles are made from flour. Flour is the staple food in that world and can be used to make many delicious dishes. When the wheat I planted is harvested next year, we will be able to eat even more delicious food."

Chen's face was filled with excitement: "Brother, when you're planting, be sure to call me, I'll help you plant them."

Even Chen, who didn't particularly like "seeds," started to look forward to them.

Because "growing" can yield more delicious food.

On the day the kang (heated brick bed) was prepared, none of the beastmen in the entire Gaoshu tribe went out. They all followed behind the chieftain Zhan and Bai Ling, waiting for Bai Ling's instructions.

Bai Ling first had his people dig a pit at the foot of the low mountain. All the soil that was dug out was transported away. After digging to about one meter, the soil that was dug out was no longer transported away. The people fetched water from the river and poured it into the pit, adding wild grass and animal hair, and vigorously stirred it to turn the water and mud into a sticky yellow mud.

The dried adobe bricks were transported to the cave entrance. Bai Ling led the tribesmen to level the cave entrance with bone knives. The yellow mud at the foot of the mountain was also prepared. Bai Ling then began to demonstrate to the tribesmen how to build the walls.

Building a wall is not difficult. Bai Ling made adobe bricks that were big and thick enough. All you had to do was stand the adobe bricks horizontally on the ground and glue them together with mortar.

This wall doesn't need to be load-bearing, nor does it need a foundation; you can just start building it directly.

However, there are three things to keep in mind when building a wall. First, the wall should be as straight as possible. Second, the adobe bricks should not be stacked one on top of the other; they should be staggered, meaning the edge of the top adobe brick should be placed in the middle of the bottom adobe brick. Finally, during the building process, the arrangement of the adobe bricks should be changed every few layers.

For example, if the adobe bricks of the whole wall are laid horizontally, then every few layers they are laid vertically.

This is to distribute the stress more evenly on the wall, and also to make it stronger.
