Chapter 59 Eating is the biggest motivation

Before the end of the wind season, Ning Fei took everyone to refine all the hematite ore in the space and store them into iron ingots one by one.Iron products were very rare and precious in ancient times. Firstly, because of the underdeveloped iron-making technology in ancient times, smelting could only be carried out in spring, that is, during the windy season; Both the common people and the royal army cannot do without iron products.

Wide range of uses and scarce output make iron products popular, and a set of iron products for poor families with no money can be handed down from generation to generation.

As modern people, Ning Fei and Mu Yunchu have not experienced how precious iron products are, after all, they are using more delicate stainless steel products.But Mu Yunchu is good at history, so he picks and chooses and tells Ning Fei everything he can remember.

However, they are also more jumping than the ancient times. Judging from the various excavated products, pottery products are the earliest and most extensive utensils that appeared after people discovered and were good at using fire, followed by bronze products.The reason why bronze products were used earlier than iron products was that many copper ores could be directly hammered after being heated.The purity of bronze is heterogeneous, and its hardness is softer than that of iron. It was a mineral that the people at that time could play its role best.

Now Ning Fei and Mu Yunchu came to this world with the wisdom of modern people's life, directly leaped over bronze and entered the era of iron products.It's just that the smelting technology is still too rough, and the hematite ore like a hill can only smelt less than one hundred catties of iron.

The unit of measurement here, the catty, was also discussed by Ning Fei and Mu Yunchu. According to the feeling of the hand, an iron ingot was selected as one catty. Based on this iron ingot, ten yuan per catty and ten yuan two catty were made. Ten five-jin iron ingots.Of course, the two largest iron ingots were all smashed into a pot, and a large iron pot weighed at least ten catties, weighing heavily on the hand.

Mu Yunchu originally wanted to make iron ingots into daily necessities, such as a large iron pot or a small iron pot for a family.But the iron pot is really a waste of iron, Ning Fei is a bit reluctant.The two discussed for a long time and decided to focus on farm tools.

In the hands of the orcs, the iron ingots were gradually hammered into simple tools such as hoes, axes, hammers, and iron brazing.These utensils are prepared for their current daily life.

The ax can get more wood suitable for building a house, instead of picking the wood that has been blown by the wind or crushed by the snow.Hoes are used to weed and open up wasteland, which is more useful than shells, because if you use too much force when opening up wasteland, the shells will break when they touch hard stones, which is very troublesome.Originally they wanted to make shovels, but the craftsmanship of shovels is more complicated, so they had to give up temporarily.

As for the hammer and iron chisel, they are sharp tools for breaking rocks.With these two things, they can easily break large stones, instead of picking small stones along the foot of the mountain or stones that were broken by lightning.

The orcs have been working non-stop since the snow melted, collecting wild vegetables in spring, smelting iron, going to the mountains to pick suitable logs to take off, big ones to build houses, and small ones to be used as firewood.They now have to prepare all kinds of stone and wood to lay the foundation for the house in autumn.

The originally thick ice on the lake melted quickly, and fat fish jumped out of the water from time to time, and Mu Yunchu started drooling again watching it.He dug out the fishing net that he wove at the beginning, and looked at Ning Fei eagerly——because Mu Yunyu’s arm was broken when he made a fuss about eating fish, and until Mu Yunyu’s arm was completely healed, Mu Yunchu was alone. I dare not mention the word fish.

The recovery power of the orc is really quite fast. In less than two months, Mu Yunyu's arms had already grown.After turning into a golden eagle, the huge wings flapped, and a whirlwind arose on the ground, directly lifting him into the sky.Looking at the vigorous figure of the golden eagle in the sky, Ning Fei personally removed the two people's taboo and allowed them to start eating and drinking.

So Mu Yunchu began to think about the fish in the lake again.

Ning Fei is also greedy for fish, as a son and daughter of the Greater China, remember that people depend on food.They ate animal meat all winter, so they had to improve their lives.

With Ning Fei's consent, Mu Yunchu cheered, and ran towards the lake with his fishing net on his shoulders.

This lake is quite big, and as soon as spring begins, a lot of wild animals come to the lake and settle here.However, because it is far away from the orc tribe, basically everyone does not violate the river water - except for stealing duck eggs, the orcs also do not hunt outside the house under Ning Fei's request, allowing these animals to multiply.It is precisely because of such a treasure land of reproduction that the output of wild animals is endless, so the appetite of the orcs can be infinitely satisfied.

After continuous processing, Mu Yunchu's fishing net is no longer just a single net.It is surrounded by thicker hemp ropes, knotted every few meters of hemp ropes and tied with hemp ropes to extend the arc.The tops of these hemp ropes are tied with a circle of bamboo poles, and the hemp ropes are tied to the bamboo poles and finally converge into two left and right strands, which can be moved by two people holding the rope nets... The whole looks like a huge copy, It's just that the copy handle is just a rope.

The orcs who were stationed and working at home put down their work one after another, and wanted to see how the "God Envoy" caught fish.

Ning Fei silently dragged something out of his room and put it on his shoulders, and walked slowly towards the lake behind the large army.The thing he was resisting was the copy that Zhenger Bajing used to copy fish.

Since most orcs have not yet developed the ability to eat fish, only some orcs will use fish as their staple food.Most of those wild animals are vegetarians, even if there are some who eat meat, they will run away in despair after smelling the smell of a group of big cats and dogs.

Mu Yunchu happily drove away a group of antelopes, occupying the best shoal.This shoal is full of various aquatic shrubs and reeds, and there is a puddle about a hundred square meters in size.The so-called puddle is because the lake water is constantly scouring, and a gourd mouth is brushed out. The lake water flows through the gourd mouth to the lower depression, forming this small puddle.This place is basically the best place for fishing.

Mu Yunchu led the orcs into the depths of the water, spread out the fishing nets, and muddied the lake water while walking towards the puddles, so that the fish in the lake could not tell the difference between east, west, north and south, and could only hide in a calm place. As soon as he hid, he hid in the trap.

Ning Fei watched arm-long fish jump over the mouth of the gourd and rush into the puddle, flopping non-stop in the water less than two meters deep.The little orcs screamed and jumped into the puddle, and when they reached out to catch it, it turned out to be a big fish.It's just that they have no experience in catching fish. They were thrown into the water by the big fish with long arms and rewarded with a few fish tail palms.

The little orcs were stupefied with water all over their faces.

Ning Fei couldn't help laughing. He leisurely put down the trap on his shoulders, shook the net away, grabbed the bamboo pole and put the net into the puddle. The fish successfully entered the net and was thrown to the ground by him.

The little orcs exclaimed, and Tie Zhuzi jumped to Ning Fei's side, his eyes full of anticipation.

Ning Fei handed the net to Tie Zhu, and the little orcs cheered loudly, hugging Tie Zhu to catch fish.

There are few natural enemies of the fish in the lake, and the number is large and large. Before reaching the puddle, Mu Yunchu's big net can no longer be pulled, and it is full of fish caught in the net!He and Mu Yunyu threw the rope in their hands to the shore forcefully, and the orcs waiting on the shore immediately grabbed the rope and began to drag the fishing net to the shore.

There must be at least a hundred or so fish in this net, the smallest one is as big as two palms, and the big one is as long as a thigh, with silver scales as big as a one-yuan coin, struggling to jump when it is dragged to the shore , the orcs had to catch for a long time before they could lift the big fish, all of them had happy smiles on their faces.

Because they know that these fish that they don't usually eat will turn into plates of delicious and tearful delicacies in the hands of the angels, which will satisfy them.

Ning Fei pulled some vines and threaded the mouths of these fish one by one.The big ones are picked up with a stick, and the small ones are thrown into the basket.He and Ning Zheng carried a basket of fish on their backs, and went back together with other orcs who were transporting fish back.If he doesn't go back, it is estimated that the old stone who is guarding at home will not know what to do with these fish.

The fish that have been starving for the winter have replenished their fat in the spring, and they are fat and big, and some fish are still full of roe.Ning Fei drove Ning Zheng back to the lake, and then he, Old Shitou and other elderly orcs cleaned up the fish.

The fish scales can be used to make fish scale jelly, and mixed with garlic vinegar sauce and chili oil, it is Q and refreshing.Although there is no vinegar, there are quite a few lemons in Ningfei's space, which can be used instead of vinegar.

The fish roe and fish offal are placed in clay pots separately. The fish roe tastes good when fried and is very nutritious. Of course, it is also delicious when stewed.Although fish offal is more troublesome to handle, but after it is processed and stir-fried with chili, it tastes as good as chicken offal, and it is the ultimate meal.

Cut off the fish head to make fish head tofu soup. Since the old orcs learned how to make soy milk and tofu, they would make some soy milk every few days for the orcs to satisfy their hunger. Stewed or fried.

For small fish with long arms or smaller, they are cleaned and cut in half from the belly, and the back is connected. Then, they are coated with the seasoning prepared by Ning Fei and hung in the smokehouse behind the house.They have built more than one smokehouse now, and they can smoke a lot of meat at the same time.

Because the big fish is too big, it can only be chopped into pieces and cooked.The fish pieces are covered with a thin layer of batter, and they are thrown into the oil pan and fried until they are browned.In another pot, use onion, ginger, garlic and chili, put bone broth in it, then throw the fried fish into it to stew, and then put in a small pot of tofu when the stew is halfway through, and continue to slurp, and then Ning Fei is still in the big pot There is also a circle of golden pancakes on the edge.

The small iron pan is full of hot oil, and the hot oil cut the fish pieces into two pieces, marinated with seasonings and wrapped in flour, and deep-fried until they are browned and fragrant.Such fried fish nuggets can be kept for at least two or three days in this hot weather. It is good to eat them as snacks or take them directly to stew and stir-fry vegetables.

The orcs by the lake brought back a batch of fish, and stopped going to the lake, but waited for the remaining orcs by the lake to come back by themselves.Because there were too many fish, Mu Yunchu only took two nets of fish, and then played crazy in the puddle with the little orcs, and brought back the rest of the fish covered in mud.

Mu Yunchu smelled the smell of stewed fish, and was about to cry standing at the kitchen door, "Stewed fish in a big firewood pot with pancakes, my mother, this is a state banquet level."

Ning Fei was amused by him, and said: "It's okay, you stir-fry the rest of the vegetables, I guess the hunters should come back, and it's time to eat when they come back."

"No problem!" Mu Yunchu took over Ning Fei's position, chopping vegetables with a shell knife.You know, it is not an easy task to cook the meals that a tribe of orcs need to eat every day!

The hunting orcs brought back a few stags, but unfortunately these stags did not receive much welcome, because the taste of the stewed fish was so good, and the rich fish aroma could almost knock people off their feet!

The two large pots were carried to the simple stove in the yard. The orcs could sit on the floor around the two stoves. Chopsticks and spoons went directly into the big pot to catch fish and eat them. After eating up one pot, they stewed another pot. Eat from the evening until it gets dark.

Everyone wiped their mouths and patted their stomachs contentedly, with a sense of satisfaction on their faces.

"Can you make vinegar?" Ning Fei was fiddling with a bamboo strip in his hand, and asked someone lying beside him who was hiccupping.

Mu Yunchu looked at the stars in the sky, blinked and said, "I'm only jealous."

Ning Fei: ...

He handed the things in his hand to Mu Yunchu to see, "We still lack a lot of things, no vinegar, no soy sauce... But now we have soybeans, I can make miso, at least it can replace soy sauce for seasoning. With miso, we can I have made chili sauce and mushroom sauce that are easy to store. But without vinegar, it is very troublesome, and many foods need to add vinegar to taste better.”

Mu Yunchu looked at the things Ning Fei handed over, and said, "Your knitting skills are getting better and better recently? Is this... a steamer?"

Ning Fei nodded and said, "Now that we have a big iron pot, we can make several steaming trays. Whether it's steamed buns or steamed buns, it's also convenient to eat."

"I agree. Eating pancakes every day is easy to get angry, but steamed stuffed buns are still delicious. With steamed stuffed buns, you don't even need to cook vegetables. There are noodles, meat, and vegetables. It is simply the best food invented by human beings." Thinking of steamed stuffed buns, just full Mu Yunchu was hungry again, "I'm not bragging, steamed buns are my best skill, and my mother said that I have the advantage of being able to cook, so it will be easier to find a partner in the future."

Mentioning mother, Mu Yunchu's voice lost again, "But now I'm just a cheetah, where can I find a partner? Every day I'll be a snorer with Dayu...you don't know how old he is, I'm tired every time My hands are sore, I feel that it is not worthwhile."

Ning Fei: ...

He doesn't want to know who's older and whose hands are sore, okay?

"We need to extract oil," he calmly changed the subject to the right direction. "With soybeans, we can make soybean oil. I can't stand eating pork every day. It's too greasy. And there is less lard. After frying the fish today, I can eat it." There's only one jar of lard left. It would be much more convenient to have soybean oil, don't you think?"

Mu Yunchu rubbed his chin, and said, "I think it's good, but we... who will extract oil?"

Ning Fei clicked his tongue and said, "I've never eaten pork, but I've seen pigs run away. I've seen how to press oil on TV before, so I'm just trying to figure it out. You haven't weaved cloth yet, didn't you make a loom too?"

"That's right, we two are so smart, how can a mere oil press be figured out." Mu Yunchu slapped his thigh and decided to start researching the oil press tomorrow.He hiccupped again, and suddenly asked, "Your mall hasn't opened yet?"

Ning Fei shook his head, the mall can only be opened at level 20, and he is only at level [-] now.The higher the level, the harder it is, and he can't harvest crops frequently, mainly because he can't consume them.Moreover, the more advanced crops take longer to mature, although he has already upgraded two fields, but it has only changed the soybeans that mature once every ten days to eight days.And the space system also told him that the land can only be opened up to twelve acres, and the rest is to improve the level of the land.

In addition to leveling up, you need to deduct points. Although he has a lot of points now, but deductions come and go, who knows what else he can buy in the mall?However, there are still two levels away from opening the shopping mall. After reaching level [-], he can open a shed on the livestock farm. With the shed, he will have a place to raise his calves.

In fact, what he is looking forward to more is the seeds of various grains or vegetables. The more seeds, the more food you can eat, and the better your life will be.

Now there are four houses in the tribe, and four yards are enclosed.Ning Fei assigned a few fruit trees to each yard. Although there are enough fruits to eat now, they should be put in the front to be prepared.

"There are still two levels? I suggest you to upgrade quickly in the next few days. It happens to be spring, and all kinds of crops are still young, and the food you have saved is almost eaten. It happens to be a good opportunity to upgrade." Mu Yunchu Suggested, "Maybe after the upgrade, there are various seasoning recipes that can be bought, and the output can be exchanged for things... Don't look at me like that, you have never played a farm game. If you have played a farm game all know."

"I played it..." Ning Feiweng said in a low voice, "I just played it for a while when I was in school, and then I didn't have time to play."

"Koukou Farm?" Mu Yunchu couldn't help complaining.

Ning Fei: ...

What happened to Koko Farm?I even steal food from time to time!

But it's all about complaining, he also knows that it's best to upgrade as soon as possible.

The steamer seems to be relatively simple, but it is very troublesome to make.First of all, choose a bamboo with similar width, cut the bamboo in half, and put it on the fire to roast.The bamboo that has been baked by fire will become soft. Slowly knead the softened bamboo to make it flat, and then knead it into a round shape.Just kneading this shape will take at least one day.Punch holes at the joints of the kneaded bamboo rings, and then string bamboo strips into the holes to fix the bamboo rings.A layer of bamboo drawers should be sandwiched between the two bamboo circles. The method of weaving bamboo drawers is similar to that of mats, but it does not need to be so dense, and holes for ventilation should be left.A few bamboo grids should be taken under the bamboo drawer, which are specially used to support the bamboo drawer.One of the bamboo grids should be longer, with three inches protruding from both sides. This is the handle used to move the steamer.

After fixing the two bamboo rings and the bamboo drawer, put another layer of bamboo ring on the outside, which is equivalent to sealing the interface, and punch holes in the bamboo ring to let the handle come out.

The first steamer took five days to complete. After boiling in salt water, I tried steaming a pot of buns. Each bun was white and fat, and it tasted delicious.

The orcs immediately became interested in this kind of steamer. After finishing their daily work, the orcs who stayed at home squatted in Ning Fei's yard and started making steamers.

After a thunderstorm, the rainy season came.

Ning Fei, Mu Yunchu and Lao Shitou squatted in the new shed in Zhou Ya's yard, thinking about the oil press.

Because each courtyard is modeled after Ning Fei's, so apart from the main main house, small houses and warehouses are built on both sides.All the small rooms in Ning Fei's old yard were occupied, either the kitchen or the mill, and there was really no way to let go of an oil press.

The oil press in front of Ning Fei is still in its infancy. A big tree hugging two people was cut down and dragged back. It was cut to a length of six meters and hollowed out in the middle, but a three-inch-thick wall was left around.

A five-inch-wide slot was opened on one side of the big tree. This slot was used to put in and take out the oil cake. On the opposite side, a wedge hole was opened. This wedge hole was used to place a wooden wedge to fix the oil cake.

Under the hollowed out part of the big tree, an oil passage was dug out with an iron drill. The function of this oil passage is to gather all the squeezed oil together, and then drip down to Inside the appliance below.

The trunk of the tree was secured by two strong frames, with boulders dropped at both ends, so that the trunk would not move while the oil was being pressed.

The front part of the trunk is where the oil cakes are placed, and the back end is the tool for pressing.According to the size and width of the middle of the big tree, bamboo strips are used to weave things similar to small steamers or small dustpans, with straw on top.Pour the fried soybeans in, wrap them in straw and block them with a thin straw mat, and then stuff them vertically into the tree trunk.This is a finished pancake.The oil cakes have been stacked up to the wedge hole, and the wooden pole is passed through the wedge hole to support the oil cake.

At the back end of the tree trunk, two very high shelves were made, on which a thick wooden bar was hung in the air with a hemp rope by using the pendulum action.When the wooden bar shakes, it will be hammered on a wooden wedge stuck at the end of the trunk, and the oil in the soybeans will be squeezed out by squeezing.The oil cake is getting thinner and thinner. As long as the gap is hammered out, a new wedge must be inserted into the wedge hole to fix the oil cake.

This kind of thing is easy to say, but it is a headache to do.

Several people first made a bunch of models, selected the one with the best effect, and then made the real thing. It took a month of scratching their heads to finish the oil press.

Ning Zheng brought a large iron pot from his own yard and fixed it on a simple stove, put the sun-dried soybeans into it for dry frying, and kept turning the wooden stirrer in his hand so as not to burn the soybeans.The room was stuffy and hot, Ning Zheng was covered in sweat after a while.He was bare-armed, and the leather skirt around his waist had long been replaced by a two-piece linen skirt, but now the linen skirt was soaked with sweat, sticking to his strong buttocks, outlining a beautiful curve...

Ning Fei looked away abruptly, thinking that he was crazy, and had daydreams looking at a tiger's ass! !
