When Gu Xi woke up, it was the middle of the night, there was some quiet around, only the sound of each other's breathing could be heard, he was held in Huo Bai's arms, pillowed his arms, and his back was close to Huo Bai's chest, it took a long time to have his own consciousness, his eyes fell on the ring on Huo Bai's left hand, the moonlight penetrated into the room, and the white jade ring had a faint halo, at this moment, Gu Xi had never felt at ease, he came to this world unexpectedly, he thought that he would be able to go back one day, but now he doesn't want to, here is his home, he and Huo Bai's home, they will go on forever... … Gu Xi thought like this and fell asleep again, he was too tired.

Early in the morning, Huo Bai opened his eyes, Gu Xi was still asleep, he really tossed Gu Xi yesterday, he waited for this day for a long time, he really couldn't help it, seeing Gu Xi frowning lightly, he reached out to touch it distressedly.

"Awake?" Gu Xi sensed the movement and muttered with his eyes closed.

"You sleep again, I'll go get some food" Huo Bai lowered his head and kissed Gu Xi, before getting up to make breakfast, Gu Xi turned over and continued to sleep.

There are a few fish in the small water tank in the kitchen, Huo Bai is going to boil some fish soup for Gu Xi, and then make a steamed egg with minced meat, these days it is still mainly light, these foods Gu Xi often makes in the morning, so he learns it when he looks at it, in fact, if he is at home now, he will make it, and the taste is not bad, and the learning ability of orcs is always very strong.

Gu Xi slept until noon, and when he walked out of the room, lunch had already been placed on the dining table, two roasted giggle birds, their wings and legs were skewered with bamboo skewers alone, four skewers of roasted shiitake mushrooms, and the wooden box on the table was stuffy with hot fish soup and a bowl of steamed eggs.

Huo Bai cleaned up the pepper seedlings in the yard, the pepper seedlings had grown up, clustered together, Huo Bai according to what Gu Xi said, loosened the pepper seedlings one by one and planted them, and a lot of them had been sent to the Tong family to Song Xuan.

"Huo Bai, let's eat first" Gu Xi said, he was really hungry, he hadn't eaten for almost a whole day, he sat on the stone bench, and suddenly felt a pain under his body, and sure enough, when he got up, his waist was very sore, and he was not very comfortable below his waist.

Huo Bai looked at Gu Xi's face cautiously, and when he saw that Gu Xi had just sat down, he frowned, and hurriedly asked, "It hurts?" I'll get you a cushion......" After speaking, he quickly walked into the room and took out a fluffy animal skin and put it on the stool, Gu Xi sat down and tried it, feeling a little better, Gu Xi didn't plan to deal with Huo Bai, this in itself was something that both parties were willing to do, and he ...... yesterday I'm also more excited.

Gu Xi scooped a spoonful of tender steamed eggs and put them in his mouth, Huo Bai didn't eat it, he looked at Gu Xi with a smile, and he suddenly felt that his Gu Xi was not enough.

Gu Xi reluctantly took a gurgling bird leg and stuffed it directly into his mouth, urging, "Eat quickly." Huo Bai just started, today's food is much better than ever!

"West, when the exchange day is over, I'll take you somewhere else, right?" Huo Bai said.

"Is that okay?" Gu Xi still really wanted to go to other places to have a look.

Huo Bai nodded: "Of course, I remember you said that after you get a partner there, what will you call it...... ...... of a honeymoon? The exchange day was over and we had plenty of free time to get back before the cold winter. ”

"Well, it's called a honeymoon" Gu Xi was worried that Huo Bai was the patriarch, and it would not be good to leave like this, "Is it really okay to leave without you in the tribe?" ”

"Because of you, the tribe has plenty of food before the harvest season is over, and I don't think you can blame us for leaving for a while, as long as we come back before the cold winter comes. I think it's all right."

Gu Xi had no worries, and Huo Bai had always arranged it very well, and he would not do anything he was not sure of, so they happily set up a honeymoon trip after the exchange day.

The exchange day of the orc world is within a month after the full moon day, the real exchange time lasts for seven days, the location is in a more central position compared to the various tribes, many distant tribes will set off in advance, the tiger clan is still close, after the leopard clan can walk for another ten days, the third day after the full moon day, the bear clan and the tiger clan set off together with a large number of items to the leopard clan, only eight days to reach the leopard clan, they will rest in the leopard clan for the night, and then set off with the leopard clan.

This time, the Tiger Clan went to the exchange area, including Huo Bai Gu Xi, Wei Da Anhua, the orcs Lian Qiang and Wu Shao, as well as Lu Shi of the Lu family, and the Tong family came to Tong Bo Tong Xiu, because Yan Yan's health was not very good, Tong Qi also stayed.

As soon as he settled down, Ji Shan found Gu Xi, because of Gu Xi's help, the life of the leopard clan has also improved a lot, Ji Shan heard that the people of the Tiger clan will search for different plants to show Gu Xi, so he found a lot of new food, so he talked to the people in the tribe about this matter, recently he found a thing, he felt like Gu Xi talked about the rice, he was curious about what it looked like last time, and then someone in the tribe really found something similar, so he kept it, and showed it to Gu Xi at this time.

Gu Xi's eyes widened, looking at the bunch of rice wrapped in animal skins by Ji Shan, he was extremely excited: "This ...... This should be what I mean by rice! "Rice is indeed ripe this season, yes, looking at the full grains, this one can reach the size of three or four plants in the earth.

"Really?" Ji Shan was also very happy, "There are some places where this grows, and birds like to eat it." ”

Gu Xi carefully picked one down, opened the rice husk outside, and put it in his mouth, no matter if it was raw, he bit it directly, it was rice fragrant! At this moment, Gu Xi was so excited that he cried, finally there was a staple food! Huo Bai finally knew what this was, the rice that Gu Xi had been talking about all along, and he thought that this was it.

"There are some areas around our tribe that have such plants, and we don't know how to eat them, if you can, can you tell us how to do it?" Ji Shan asked.

Gu Xi nodded and said: "In my hometown, rice is the staple food, just like you can't do without meat for every meal now, rice can be planted in a large area, and when the harvest season is harvested, it can be enough for many people to eat their stomachs, and this alone can fill their stomachs." ”

Everyone present focused on the plants that didn't look like food in their eyes, in their opinion, this was no different from grass, and this thing was really not delicious to eat directly, was it really as magical as Gu Xi said?

"Is there any more of this? I think I can show you how to do it first," Gu Xi said.

Ji Shan nodded hurriedly, and immediately went out to pick a few plants directly, this is the season when the rice is ripe, the yellow ears of rice are hanging heavily, Gu Xi asked everyone to help get the rice on the rice ears together, and borrowed a stone mortar to get out of the shell, this stone mortar was originally used by the doctors in the tribe to pound medicine, just can be used to husk, Gu Xi was also seen in the countryside when he was very young, and now such a husking method has long been eliminated, in fact, the rice needs to be exposed to the sun before it is shelled, but at this time Gu Xi can't manage so much, because the amount is not much, just make do with it first, there are many people with great strength, and after a while, a large handful of rice comes out, which is enough to make a big bowl of rice.

Holding the white rice, Gu Xi carefully put it in the water and scooped it, not a single grain dared to be wasted, and then put it into the stone pot, add an appropriate amount of water, and put a lid on the stone pot to stuff it.

"Just remove the outer shell and pour water and boil it?" Qiu Xian, who rushed to hear the news, asked.

"Well, if you have a knuckle height for water, you must cover it, and if you have fire, it can't be too big," Gu Xi added, and everyone listened very carefully.

When the aroma of the rice came out through the cracks, everyone was intrigued.

"It's so fragrant" An Hua sucked hard at the smell wafting out, many people acted the same as him, and everyone was very much looking forward to what kind of food could be made with just a small handful of white grains.

By the time Gu Xi lifted the lid of the pot, the small particles that were originally small had already expanded, and a plump and crystal clear rice appeared in front of everyone.

"It's getting bigger!" Anhua exclaimed.

Gu Xi smiled and took some small bowls, and each person took a mouthful, because it was too little, he could only taste one bite first, and then say, everyone felt that it was very precious, and they didn't dare to eat it all at once, so they got a little bit of it and put it in their mouths, when the aroma of rice filled their mouths, Gu Xi squinted his eyes in enjoyment, for a human being who has relied on rice for more than 20 years, it is really a torture to cut off the staple food for almost a year, he really misses the taste of rice.

"It's soft, it's just too little," An Hua said, they were just happy for one more food, and they weren't as excited as Gu Xi.

"Yes, if you fill a bowl, you will definitely be full" Gu Xi said, "What you eat now is not tasteful, in fact, you have to eat it with the dishes we usually make, this rice is a must-have for every meal in our place, it is easy to eat full, and it is also good for the body, the important thing is that we can start planting in the rainy season and harvest in the harvest season, and no longer have to worry about food." ”

Everyone has begun to look forward to what Gu Xi said, at that time, all the people who fell did not have to worry about food, the orcs did not have to go out to hunt every day, and everyone no longer had to work hard and even risk being frozen to death in the cold winter to go out to find food.

"During this time, I will arrange for the people of the clan to collect this plant, and when the exchange day is over, we will send some to you" Qiu Xian's words were said to Gu Xi, "I hope that next year, this plant can be planted all over the tribe." ”

Gu Xi also learned from Ji Shan's mouth that the rice around the leopard tribe is not a large piece of long, but there are some small areas scattered around, and the collected ones are estimated to be only used for planting, if you eat them directly, it will definitely be far from enough, but Gu Xi is already very satisfied, next year, next year you can eat it.
