Chapter 40: Birthday

There are a lot of details in the tribe, and after listening to everyone's reports, my head is going to be big, so I decided to hand over these details and trivial matters to Cao Riben to do, and all the weapons and materials are distributed by Cao Riben, I don't have the ability to be a leader, let alone this awareness. After arranging things, I ran out and hid far away, my head was big!

Xia Kite, who has just lost her mother, is still a little far-fetched in her smile these days, today is her birthday, and I, as an older brother, want to give her an unforgettable birthday. Tonight will be arranged for Xia Kite to arrange a grand birthday party, some details have been arranged, and the birthday is indispensable is the birthday cake, in this difficult environment, lack of a lot of ingredients and utensils, want to make a birthday cake is undoubtedly more difficult, but from the Nanshan tribe, I found the most basic thing to make a cake - eggs.

The entire Nanshan tribe only has these dozens of eggs, and if they are flour, it is enough for me to make a big cake, and for this important task, I asked Chu Ying to help me secretly complete it together.

"What? Haven't you heard of cake? "After getting the eggs and flour, I told Chu Ying my idea, but she told me that I had never heard of a cake! I couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I wanted you to help me, but now it seems that I can only come by myself......"

"Sounds delicious! So be it, I'll help you, you teach me how to do it! Chu Ying smiled shyly and helped me throw the eggs into the wooden basin, and the eggs shattered when they smashed into the wooden basin.

"Oops! What are you doing? I was so annoyed that I hurriedly stopped Chu Ying, looked at the few broken eggs in the wooden basin with a heartache and said, "You are doing a favor and you know?" How could you do that? ”

Chu Ying watched me scoop up all the egg shells in the wooden basin, and pursed her mouth aggrievedly: "We have eaten eggs, but they are all mashed and roasted together with the shells." I...... I don't know what you're going to do, I'm sorry......"

When I heard her say this, I realized that I was wrong to blame her, eggs are baked and eaten, who came up with a way to eat them, and they have to be roasted and eaten with broken shells?

"Forget it, you stand by and watch!" I reluctantly scooped up the broken egg shells, picked up an egg and knocked it twice on the edge of the wooden basin: "See? You may have to eat the shell with the baked egg, but you can't make a cake with the shell! Chu Ying on the side nodded, and used a wooden bowl to fill the eggshells, obviously reluctant to waste such a high-protein thing. Looking at Chu Ying's movements, I couldn't help but sigh a little, and I couldn't blame her.

"Brother Yang, you are the most amazing person I have ever met...... You're good at it.,If you can do these weird things.,There must be a lot of girls who like you, right? Chu Ying helped me pack my things and asked me quietly.

I smiled silently, noncommittal, seeing that I didn't answer, Chu Ying curled her mouth unhappily, and didn't say more, just kept glancing at me.

My attention is all on how to make a cake at this time, in the past, people made cakes, need a lot of materials, such as eggs, flour, sugar and milk, baking powder and salad oil or something, now it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, special times to be treated specially, I put dozens of eggs in a wooden basin, and then use a wooden root to stir up, this is a test of staying power, the eggs will produce physical changes after full stirring, become solid, I mixed some flour and water in it, Let Chu Ying squeeze out the juice of the dozens of wild fruits she picked, and the sweet and sour juice mixed with some flour was stirred into the eggs, I don't know what it tastes like, anyway, let's make do with it!

I dare say that no one has ever eaten this cake I made, although the method is simple but mixed with too many of my blessings and hearts, in order to ensure that everyone can eat a piece, stirred until the end of the flour has been added. I requisitioned the only large iron pot in the tribe, added some water to the pot, and then sat the whole wooden pot in the iron pot, and then added firewood and steamed it.

"It smells so good! It seems to be delicious...... "After steaming for more than an hour, I lifted the lid of the pot, and a huge special "cake" appeared in front of me in the steaming heat, Chu Ying swallowed a mouthful of saliva and poked the soft cake with her fingers.

"It must be delicious! Brother Yang, you are so amazing! A little star appeared in Chu Ying's eyes, and I couldn't help but feel proud when I heard her praise, the big cake steamed from egg flour is enough for more than one hundred and thirty of us to share a piece each, these are not important, the important thing is that this is a birthday cake for Xia Kite, today's free people live a precarious life, how can they have leisure to celebrate their birthdays, and they have never even heard of birthday cakes. I'm afraid that only the dignitaries and dignitaries in the federal city can taste it!

After an afternoon of busy work with everyone, the well-prepared birthday night is about to begin, and the night is finally coming as promised.

In the camp we lit a bonfire, the bonfire crackled and burned, at this time the night sky, blue and deep, the sky full of lonely scattered stars jealously looked at the atmosphere on the ground gradually rising bonfire dinner, noisy laughter echoed in this field moon and white wind night.

It is said that it is a bonfire dinner, and the ingredients of the dinner are relatively monotonous, just some noodle food and wild fruits and wild vegetables picked, as well as wild fruit wine made from wild fruits, the most eye-catching thing is the huge special cake next to the bonfire, the flour eggs are milky white after steaming, exuding bursts of fragrance, under Chu Ying's careful preparation, the cake is covered with all kinds of wild flowers picked by her own hands, attracting several children in the tribe to gather around and salivate, staring at the cake like a greedy little gluttonous cat, swallowing saliva.

Under my arrangement, the entire bonfire party venue is covered with wildflowers picked by people, revealing a festive atmosphere, the fly in the ointment is that there are no candles, so that the birthday star blows out the candles in the birthday song to create the artistic conception is incomparable, but the luxury of candles is only available in the federal city, if there are candles, then you can let Xia Kite make a wish to blow out the candles to feel this artistic conception.

In the cheers of everyone, the protagonist of the bonfire party, Xia Kite, accompanied by Chu Ying, slowly walked to the campfire in the middle of the venue, seeing everything in front of Xia Kite couldn't help but open her mouth in surprise, and we didn't let her see it all afternoon, this hard work obviously created a great surprise for her, and her eyes looked at me through the blazing firelight, and tears instantly filled her eyes.

"Silly girl, it's your birthday, what are you crying about?" I walked over with a laugh, and put a wreath that Chu Ying had already tied on Xia Kite's head like magic, Xia Kite lowered her head, laughed, cried and laughed...... So innocent......

"Brothers!" I took Xia Kite's hand and said loudly to the clansmen sitting in a circle: "Today is Xia Kite's birthday, and it is also the first reunion of our big family, I hope we can live a better life in the future!" This ......" I pointed to the special cake and said, "I believe we can live better, like this big cake, I made it myself, in the future everyone will eat the real cake, I will try to do it!" I hope that by this time next year, I will be able to make a bigger and better cake for my sister and put a wreath on her with my own hands, and I hope that every one of you will be sitting next to me at this time next year! I will be proud of each and every one of you! ”

Looking at the emotional people around me, I paused, and then said, "In my hometown, they have to make a wish, blow out the candles, and sing a birthday song on their birthday!" Although we don't have candles, making wishes and singing birthday songs are essential! Come on! Little kite, come and make a wish on the cake! It's easy to make a wish on your birthday......" I smiled and dragged Xia Kite to the huge cake and watched her slowly close her eyes.

"Big brother, how many wishes can I make?" Xia Kite looked up at me, her clear eyes full of emotion.

"Uh...... Well, it's usually one, but of course the little kite can make one more wish! I smiled, and my heart was very smooth when I saw Xia Kite being amused. Xia Yuan smiled, closed her eyes again, and silently made her birthday wish in her mouth.

"That's it! You can eat cake right away! But before eating the cake, we all have to sing a birthday song......" Seeing that everyone looked at me for some reason, I smiled slightly, clapped my hands and took the lead in singing: "I wish you a happy birthday...... Happy birthday to you......"

Singing is an instinct of human beings since ancient times, and it is a good way for people to express their emotions. The reason why human beings can sing is because they put their love for life into their songs, and the people of this last day have lost too much, lost their spiritual pursuit, and lost the beautiful past of their predecessors, and I decided to take them to find it little by little.

"Happy birthday to you...... I wish you a happy birthday......" At first, Chu Ying and Xia Yuan echoed softly, and gradually, all the people sang softly, everyone integrated into the beat, and the voice gradually became louder, and the happy birthday song that had disappeared in this era for several years resounded again throughout the entire camp and the entire field.

A musician once said, "Music is the greatest joy in life; Music is a clear spring in life; Music is the crucible of temperament. "These freemen have long forgotten about pleasure when they work hard to eat, drink, but everyone will be involuntarily infected and edified when they listen to the song, and the luxury brought by music makes each of them tremble from the bottom of their hearts, and many of them burst into tears when they sing and sing. But they were undoubtedly happy, everyone stood up and sang the warm and happy "Birthday Song", the scene melted the hearts of everyone present and cleansed their difficult hearts in the last days.

Looking at the people who were caught in the sea of joy, I smiled heartily, my eyes gradually blurred, and the warmth and emotion surged in my heart, which could not be calmed down for a long time......
