Lin Xi named this sour fruit sour fruit.After she fried the sour fruit on the stone slab and the meat, she tasted it, and found that when the fruit was ripe, it actually became sweet and sour, and the sweetness was much heavier than that of the raw fruit, and the taste was actually very similar to black plum!
Lin Xi immediately thought of sour plum soup!
She immediately decided that she would get some more of the sour fruit before winter!
When the time comes, sit on the hot kang, roast the warm fireplace, eat barbecue and drink the improved sour plum soup cooked by yourself, and then look at the snow outside through the window, it is beautiful to think about!
After eating dinner, while it was still early, Lin Xi began to sit in front of the fire and weave a new basket.Wuchen, on the other hand, went to the edge of the forest several times and brought back a lot of wood.Lin Xi put down the half-knitted basket in his hand, took the wooden stick used as a measuring tool, and drew the length of each wooden stick as expected.Then let Wuchen use a bone saw to see the wood out.The bone saw for sawing wood was drawn by Lin Xi on the ground, and Wu Chen used the ribs of the four-cornered beast that he had saved before, which was quite easy to use, but the loss was relatively large, and after a period of use, he needed to re-polish the sawtooth.The bones of the four-horned beast were cleaned out in advance before the marriage ceremony, and the bones were all large and hard, and Lin Xi asked Wuchen to use those bones to make many useful tools out.And what Lin Xi didn't expect was that three days after the end of the marriage ceremony, the head of the four-horned beast was also taken back by Wuchen.At that time, Lin Xi knew that these beast heads were only taken for sacrifice for a few days, but after the ceremony, they would be returned to the orcs who hunted it.It's just that in three days, the meat on the head of the four-horned beast can't be eaten, so Wuchen unloaded the four horns and the four big beast teeth and handed them to Lin Xi.Lin Xi didn't think that these things were of any use for the time being, so he used animal skin ropes to weave these beast teeth and horns together, made them into a rough style wind chime, and hung them at the entrance of the cave.As for the skull of the beast's head, it was replaced by a leopard orc from a tribe with a giant pig beast.The afterglow of the sun gradually faded behind the mountain, and the tribe was lit up with sporadic fires, and the moonlight overhead was bright, but it did not look gloomy.Lin Xi and Wuchen stayed together in front of the fire outside the cave, quietly doing things in each other's hands, but the sound of Wuchen sawing wood was a little loud, which was a little conspicuous in the silent night.Soon, an orc who heard the movement ran over."
Wuchen, what are you doing?"
Lin Xi knew the orc in front of him, it was a male beast of the White Tiger Clan, named Bai Ming, and the relationship with Wuchen seemed to be very good, and the two often went out to hunt together.Wuchen glanced at him, continued to saw the wood in his hand, and replied, "Saw wood." ”Bai Ming was accustomed to Wuchen's silence, and regardless of his perfunctory, he squatted next to him and continued to ask, "Sawing wood?"
Just break the wood?
What to do, it's so short, you can't make a shack!
”When Wuchen heard this, he threw away a piece of wood that had been sawn in his hand, picked up another one, and then replied to him: "Xixi said that it is used to make windows and doors, and there is a rack to be used to dry salted meat." ”"Huh?"
When the orc heard this, he let out a puzzled 'huh', he didn't understand what Wuchen meant by windows, doors, and shelves.looked at the wood in Wuchen's hand and blinked, and then turned his head to look at Lin Xi who was sitting at the other end.His eyes were immediately attracted by the half-woven back basket in Lin Xi's hand, and he leaned over to take a look, and after a while, he finally vaguely guessed the usefulness of this thing, and then he turned his head, looked at Wuchen, and said in an exclamatory tone: "Wuchen, your female beast is so smart!"
”Wuchen glanced at him, the expression on his face did not change, but his tone was much gentler: "Xixi has always been very smart!"
”Lin Xi was only quietly weaving the basket on the side, but when he heard Wuchen's words, he couldn't help but let out a "poof" and laughed.Wuchen's words, although he is praising her, are also too shameful!
However, the two males over there didn't react much to this, as if what Wuchen said was just a normal sentence!
While the two were talking, another orc came over, and when Lin Xi looked up, he found that it was Xue Ying, and there were two female beasts that he had only recently met.A rabbit female, Gray Moon, and a wolf female, Hei Ning.She hurriedly beckoned to them: "Xue Ying, Gray Moon, Hei Ning." ”Xue Ying heard the sound of black dust sawing wood, and after coming out and seeing the figure in front of Lin Xi's cave, she pulled Gray Moon and Hei Ning to run over.The orcs usually have very little activity after the evening meal, and most of them go back to their lodgings to sleep after the evening meal.However, several orc families living near Lin Xi and Wuchen probably recently received the influence of Lin Xi and Wuchen, and often came over to stay when they were still outside the cave.Lin Xi occasionally thinks to himself, is he the first person to create orcs, night socialization!
As soon as they arrived at Lin Xi's side, several female beasts were immediately attracted by the back basket in Lin Xi's hand.Under the curious gaze of several female beasts, Lin Xi reluctantly showed them the basket that had been made and told them the purpose.As herbivorous orcs who often rely on gathering for food, Xue Ying and Gray Moon are particularly fond of this basket.So Lin Xi took out the remaining bitter branches, distributed them to the three female beasts, and patiently taught them how to weave the baskets.What she didn't expect was that the fastest learner and the best editor was actually Hei Ning, the female beast of the wolf clan!
When Xue Ying and Gray Moon hadn't even studied the bottom of the back basket, Hei Ning's back basket had already taken shape, but the density of the branches was a little uneven, but it didn't affect the use.Seeing Xue Ying and Gray Moon a little envious.The female beast is weaving a basket on this side, and the male beast is not idle.Wuchen had already processed all the wood, and then, with Bai Ming's help, began to build the shelves.Lin Xi's cured meat can be dried tomorrow, but she has no place to dry, so she plans to let Wuchen get a wooden frame out tonight and use it to dry the meat tomorrow.The production of the shelf is also very simple, Lin Xi drew a picture of Wuchen, in fact, it is a relatively tall table, the table top is made into a hollow fence shape, and when the time comes, the meat strips can be hung on the wood one by one with ropes.In the process of building the shack, the orcs had learned to put the wood together in the way of mortise and tenon, although Wuchen had never made such a thing, but the process of making it was not difficult for him.Especially with Bai Ming's help next to him.The two orcs were ping-pong, and soon three rectangular shelves of one and a half meters high were made and placed on the open space on one side.This time, Lin Xi deliberately designed the width of the shelf to be less than one meter and five wide, so convenient, in case it rains that day, you can directly bring the shelf and the meat on it and move it into the cave together!
