Chapter 8: A New Life (1)
When he got up in the morning, Gu Xi brushed his teeth in the cubicle of the bedroom, washed his face, walked out of the house, breathed in the fresh morning air, stretched his waist, left and right three times, twisted his neck, moved his legs, and hissed...... The calf was so sore, Gu Xi frowned in pain, he participated in the two-day collection, and said that the calf really couldn't stand it, and planned to rest, their family's food was completely enough, Huo Bai was too capable.
"Gu Xi, what are you doing, the action is so strange" An Hua was tall and saw Gu Xi who had just gotten up outside her house.
"This is called morning exercise, exercising every day, good for the body"
"Just a few small movements to exercise your body? No wonder you're so skinny," Anhua said disdainfully.
I can't communicate happily, I can't be friends anymore! A tall man of 1.8 meters, can he be skinny! Gu Xi decided to ignore him.
Gu Xi walked to the kitchen and took out Huo Bai's hot clucking bird soup from the wooden barrel, the wooden barrel was a whole piece of wood, hollowed out directly from the middle, spread with newly picked big green leaves, covered with a wooden lid, the heat preservation function was not bad, and there was a small stone bowl with boiling water and sprinkled with a little salt and garlic, this was Gu Xi's breakfast.
There are irregularly shaped stones in the courtyard that serve as stone tables, as well as stone benches, and Gu Xi has breakfast here and breathes in the fresh air, which is really a bit of a worldly master.
Little Tiger Mauri jumped over in a fur vest, since his vest came out, the tribe has already had one, especially like to become a little tiger Morry, every day to change different coats and colors of vests to sell everywhere, alas, now the weather is still cold, wearing fur is nothing, what to do when the weather is hot, directly naked, he is not used to it, when will there be cloth.
"Brother Xiaoxi, there is little grass growing in the corner of my house, it has a different taste, help me take a look, can I eat it?" Mo Li tugged on the corner of Gu Xi's pants, very anxious.
Gu Xi picked up Mo Li, put it on his knees, smoothed his hair, and was not in a hurry at all: "What's the hurry, let my brother finish breakfast, and insist on eating breakfast every day, which is good for your health." Gu Xi did not forget to take the opportunity to educate and educate.
After breakfast, Gu Xi and An Hua came to Mo Li's house together, a small piece of grass appeared in the corner of the wall, and the leaves looked fuller than ordinary weeds, Gu Xi pinched a section, and immediately smelled the smell of chives.
"Isn't it food?" Murray flicked his tail and asked anxiously.
Gu Xi rubbed his little head: "Mori is awesome, this can be eaten, it can be used as a seasoning, but you have to promise your brother that if you don't know you in the future, don't try it yourself, it's very dangerous, okay?" ”
Seeing that Gu Xi was so strict, Mo Li nodded obediently, "Brother Xiaoxi, use this to make me food!" Maury couldn't wait, he was very happy, happy that he had found an ingredient, and ran around the open space as if he were happy.
Uncle Mo Ken sat on the stone bench with Xiao Mo Mo in his arms, Xiao Mo Mo Mo was already able to walk, not very stable, Xiao Mo Mo watched his brother running around and giggled, his little hands clapped around, he liked his brother.
"This is called chives, it is very good as a seasoning, just pinch some when you want to use it, it is easy to survive, I will introduce it to you when I go to the central square at noon," Gu Xi said.
"Xiaoxi, you know so much, thanks to you, we are much better" Uncle Mo Ken sighed, the tribe has changed too much now, and the food is gradually getting better.
"Uncle Mo, look what I brought you" Tong Xiu, who had gone out hunting, came back early, and he carefully came to Uncle Moken's house with the animal skin bag.
Mo Ken leaned over to take a look, and was very surprised, "It's a cluck bird egg" Cluck bird eggs are just right for children to eat.
"Yes, we met the nest of the giggle bird today, and I am afraid that the eggs will break, so I will send them back first, and get them for Maury and Mo Mo to eat."
What a coincidence, just found the shallots, there were eggs, Gu Xi thought.
"Uncle Mo, how do you get this clucking bird's egg?" Gu Xi asked.
"It's just that the white water is cooked, the shell is peeled, and the taste is very light" If it weren't for the children who ate it well, Mo Ken wouldn't be willing to get it, and the taste of the orcs would have been heavy.
"Why don't I get it today, let you taste a different way of eating today" Gu Xi's eyes seemed to have appeared in front of him, and there were new ingredients, so he didn't have to eat meat and vegetables every day.
When Tong Xiu heard this, he immediately went home and called his mother and father, Uncle Song, Uncle Song must be coming, how could he cook food without him.
Giggle bird eggs are much bigger than ordinary eggs, at least twice as big, this nest has a total of more than a dozen eggs, Gu Xi took four, first come to a shallot to run the egg, the eggs are scattered, put in the green onion, salt, stir well, after the stone pot is heated, put a small piece of lard, and when the oil is hot, pour in the egg liquid, fry it, just so it is already full of fragrance, the fragrance of the giggle bird egg plus the taste of chives, it is perfect!
Gu Xi boiled the pot of water again, grabbed a handful of green vegetables and threw them in, beat two more eggs, poured in the egg liquid and stirred, sprinkled a handful of chopped green onions when it came out of the pot, and the green vegetable and egg drop soup was ready.
"It smells good, it smells good," Maury sniffed busily.
"Oh my God, I never knew that gurgling bird eggs could be so fragrant" Uncle Song tasted a bite of the shallot running egg and was very satisfied.
In one morning, the news that gurgling bird eggs can be made delicious spread all over the tribe, and everyone asked Gu Xi how to make zuò, after all, eggs are relatively rare, you can't try to make them, you can only learn them first, but everyone heard Gu Xi say that gurgling birds can be farmed, and it will not be a problem to eat giggle eggs every day in the future.
So breeding giggle birds was put on the agenda, because the people here have not raised animals like this, Gu Xi decided to start with him first, after all, the animals here are still a little different from the earth, he only remembers that this wild one must be domesticated slowly, otherwise it is not easy to raise, if he raises it well, he will promote it to everyone.
He decided to cut some slender branches and came back to make a cage first, took a bone machete and went out to find a tree to cut branches, with the help of Anhua, who can climb trees, he didn't have enough in a while, finger-thick branches, long and short.
Gu Xi tied the branches to the height of others with a straw rope, and then arranged them one by one, leaving a gap, making a piece, and a shed was originally built on the left side of his yard, and a rectangle was enclosed under the shed with branches, leaving an opening, which could be opened and closed.
When Huo Bai came back, he really brought five live giggle birds, two males and three females, Gu Xi threw them all into the cage, the giggle birds were still very uncomfortable when they first arrived in the cage, clucking and screaming, and kept fluttering up, fortunately his cage was high, Gu Xi took some of the green cabbage leaves picked before and threw them in, and the giggle birds ate them, and when they were done, it was almost dark, so they had to hurry up for dinner.
Since coming here, Gu Xi has developed a good habit of going to bed early and getting up early, because he can't see after dark at night, and there is no candle lamp oil or the like, so he has no choice but to go to bed early, so he gets up extra early in the morning.
"Cluck, cluck, cluck......" The male clucking birds in the yard began to chirp in the early morning, this is crowing, it is really like a chicken, they are still a little uneasy, they have to flutter a few times and fly up, Gu Xi is too lazy to care about them, he can only wait slowly, and he doesn't know when he will start laying eggs.
He took his tools, found the chives in the surrounding haystacks, dug some back, and turned over the soil by the kitchen, and transplanted the chives into it, so that when he used it in the future, he only needed to pick a little, and the chives could be skewered out with roots.
Today, Huo Bai doesn't have to go out to lead the team to hunt, Gu Xi plans to let Huo Bai take him up the mountain to pick some garlic again, this time he plans to pick more, break it into small petals, and plant it in the yard with chives to see if it can sprout, and I don't know if it can be planted in this season.
With Huo Bai, he didn't need to contribute to climb the mountain at all, it didn't take long to find a small piece of garlic field, Huo Bai helped dig a lot together, and it didn't take long to dig it up.
It was still early, Huo Bai remembered a place he had discovered before, he thought it was full of good-looking, Gu Xi should like it, it happened to be okay today, he decided to take Gu Xi to have a look.
Gu Xi sat on Huo Bai's back, and there was gradually some sound of water in his ears, and when he got closer, Gu Xi found that this was a small waterfall, and in front of it was a small pond, the water of the pond was exceptionally clear, and there were piles of stones around it.
"It's good-looking, I guess you'll like it" Huo Bai placed Gu Xi on a big rock by the pond.
"Well, it's good" Gu Xi nodded again and again, there is such a chic waterfall in such a deep mountain, "When the weather is hot, it must be very comfortable to come here to take a bath." ”
"Well, I'll bring you when the time comes" It's nice to take a shower together.
Gu Xi glanced around, his eyes fixed on the green on the other side of the pond, and ran directly on the stone pile: "Wow! It's bamboo! ”
That's right, this is a bamboo forest, perennial bamboo, thick and thin, thick diameter can be more than ten centimeters, Gu Xi was very excited, immediately squatted down, peeled off the soil with his hands, and sure enough, there were bamboo shoots!
"Huo Bai, this is bamboo, this is bamboo shoots, bamboo shoots are edible, do you know? I'm so happy, help me dig some back, make something delicious for you to eat at night, wild bamboo shoots, it must be very delicious, and bamboo, cut it back, it can be of great use, you can make furniture, our house is really space, you know......" Gu Xi began to think about it again.
Huo Bai was already digging bamboo shoots according to Gu Xi's instructions, and he was happy when Gu Xi was happy, and as for the furniture, he would do whatever Gu Xi wanted.
"Gu Xi, when the rainy season is over and the harvest season comes, we will hold a ceremony, okay?"
Gu Xi was peeling bamboo shoots happily, and when he heard Huo Bai say this, he was a little nervous: "How long will the harvest season be?" ”
"If you're in a hurry, we'll ...... after the rainy season is over"
"No...... No...... The harvest season is good! Let's take the harvest season! ”。
