127. Mogano in the marshland
"What do you think of my question, son of Kurad?" Mayana lifted her stacked eyelids and sat cross-legged on a cowhide cushion, a night breeze blew his white hair away, and he leaned his thin body towards the campfire to warm himself up. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info His gaze fell on the fire-gathering scroll beneath the iron cauldron again, watching as the small square piece of demon antelope skin had been slightly curled up by the scorching flame heart, and the faint magic pattern on the parchment told that his mission was coming to an end.
Yes, it's a magic scroll that has been reused for five days, and it burns until midnight every day at sunset. The magic circle had become blurry, and I didn't know what Maya was thinking. Kuzi on the side was a little nervous, in the Guruding tribe, every old wise man will be respected by the orcs, Kuzi once again looked at me uneasily, seeing that I didn't bird him, he could only turn his gaze back, and could only say to Mayana: "I can't think of any good way." But I also discussed these with Ji Jia, this winter we encountered a severe cold that has not been seen in a century, so that those tribes that were already short of food and clothing died a lot of people, and there was not enough food to eat, and now it has slowly evolved into a catastrophe, I think our blood wolf clan is actually facing three problems: food crisis, population crisis, and Warcraft crisis. ”
Listening to Kutz's narration, it's like the two of us usually sitting under the moon, looking up at the night sky back to back, of course, most of the time I'm talking, and Kuzi is eating, his stomach is like it can never be filled, as long as there is something delicious, he will eat it up. And now. Kuz's voice, which had just been in the midst of a voice change, was a little sharp and hoarse, and he squatted on the grass on the topics we were talking about. summed it up together, and it made him speak clearly.
Mayana listened attentively. Hearing Kuzi talk about the three major problems faced by the orcs, his eyes couldn't help but shift from the fire-gathering scroll to Kuz's body, and he looked at the adult orc child in front of him with some surprise, he was still an orc boy who had not participated in the coming-of-age ceremony after all, and he already had a precious alloy bow that many wolf hunters could not ask for in their lives, and he had already put on a light armor that was very poorly sewn, but it was a demon antelope skin, and even the rotten leather boots on his feet were made of demon antelope skin, looking at the new stubble at the leather seams. You can guess that this must be rough and rotten in the wasteland, and the skin has been white-alkali because it is not ripe, but even so, I don't know how many orc boys, when they are preparing to participate in the coming-of-age ceremony, they all dream of getting such a demon antelope skin armor, and the orc boy in front of him is actually wearing it so casually.
Meyana even saw several long parcels on the back of the Aguimon, which were wrapped tightly in ordinary cowhides, and perhaps the people of the Raitu tribe would not recognize what they were. But as a wise man in Gurudin, Mayana had a strange expression when she first saw those packages, and she should have recognized that they contained some heavy weapons. I'm a little worried about this, after all, no one knows that the ligers are acting as robbers in the wasteland, if only with these weapons. If we are found to have something to do with the death of those ligers, I think there will be endless trouble.
Kuz looked at Mayana with eyes fixed on him. There was no stage fright, and he continued at his own pace: "Food crisis." Actually, it's not a big problem, but it's a big problem if you dig deeper. I would like to boil it down to the spring hunt, where the men of each tribe have to participate in the spring hunt for a year's livelihood, but this makes it difficult for some small tribes to survive, and the women have to leave their homes with their children and go to the wasteland to dig wild vegetables to fill their stomachs. I thought of two ways, the first is to make full use of the magic antelope caught in the spring hunt, every year in the depths of the wasteland, after hunting the demon antelope flock, we all bring back the skin and horns of the demon antelope, discard the skeleton and the mutton, and let the vultures peck. If we can gather this meat and bring it back to the tribe, then at least this spring, we will have no shortage of meat. ”
Mayana, who was sitting on the opposite side, then asked: "Then what are we going to do, do we want those hunters to give up chasing the demon antelope herd, and every time they hunt a large number of demon antelopes, they will send these sheep back to the tribe with their belts? In that case, how many sheep can we hunt in the whole spring hunt? We need to gather at least 100,000 demon antelope skins to exchange food with humans, what should we do?"
Obviously, make full use of the mutton obtained from hunting the demon antelope, Kuzi is not the first to think of this method, the biggest drawback of this method is the lack of transportation capacity, the hunters in the wasteland are still busy catching the demon antelope, and there is no time to send the mountain of demon antelope meat back to the tribe, even if it is sent back to the tribe after a long journey, those fresh mutton will also change its taste.
"Send the women of the tribe to the wasteland and make raw or salted jerky from those hunted demon antelopes, and if it were us, I would find a way to make those muttons into something like that!" Kutz took out a packet of meat floss from his bosom, opened the oilskin paper, and saw that the tomato-like meat floss inside was golden brown and fragrant, and it couldn't help but make people salivate.
"This is the meat that cooks in the soup pot at night?, it's delicious!" Mayana asked in surprise, then asked, "Is this cooked meat?"
The biggest difference between cooked meat and raw meat, for the orcs in the wasteland, is the problem of fuel, in the early spring grassland, if you can chase a herd of wild sheep and bison, you may be able to pick up enough cow dung behind them, that thing can also be burned. However, the amount of fuel required to make a large amount of fresh mutton into mature meat in the wasteland is very large.
Kuzi glanced at the burning fire-gathering scroll with some embarrassment, and said: "We used the fire-gathering scroll to cook, then dried, and then used a wooden hammer to break it little by little, and it became the shredded meat like this, it tastes very good, it melts in the mouth, and it can also be boiled into a thick soup, with wild vegetables, we also have wheat cakes a few days ago, and it is best to eat with them." ”
When it comes to eating, Kuz's language is much more fluent. In this year when raw jerky is in short supply, talking about how to make meat floss extravagantly, this is a kind of provocation for Meyana, Meyana's eyes suddenly became very cold, and my heart was cold and cold. I think the most unaccustomed thing to this old orc may be the poor and extravagant orc nobles, the decline of the entire orc world is caused by those orc nobles imitating the luxurious life of humans, Kuz is here to talk to Mayana about how to make meat floss, it is really a brain in the water.
I secretly stabbed him in the ribs, and said that you kid always can't get to the point, so I can only pretend to be a good baby and add: "I heard Sister Guoguo say that the people in Sloit City like to drink this kind of broth, or eat these meat floss in white bread, and serve it with some sweet cream, then it is delicious." Since there is so much meat in the wasteland, and even hide in the wilderness and throw it away casually, piled up like a hill, how good it is to make meat floss with so much fresh mutton! This thing is convenient to store, we don't eat it ourselves, and sell it to those merchants for food, why do we have to exchange it for food?"
Maya looked at me and Kuz with wide eyes, as if he had thought of a new idea, as if he had kindled the hope of the orcs, but in an instant that enthusiasm dissipated, and I guess he still struggled with the fact that there was not enough fuel in the wasteland to make loose meat in bulk.
However, he finally diverted his attention, and for the solution to the food problem proposed by Kuz, Mayana asked some other places, such as itinerary, safety and security, information communication, etc., although Kuzi did not think perfectly, but after all, the answer was reasonable, and finally Kuzi said: " In the past, there were always some merchants, taking advantage of the spring hunting season, to organize a large number of thunder rhino caravans, into the wasteland, looking for such abandoned demon antelopes in the wilderness, they would hire some strong beast girls, a large amount of these fresh meat into salted jerky, transported back to the wasteland to sell in various towns. In fact, if we can effectively organize the hunting team, establish contact with the human merchants, and no longer let them pick up the mutton that is discarded in the wasteland, but sell it to them, the difference is that they come to pick up the goods, we can sell it a little cheaper, if they don't buy it, then we will send the orcs in the tribe to enter the wasteland in groups, and after making the fresh meat into jerky, use people to carry it out......"
Kuz said a lot, he always looks at things from a different perspective than other orcs, this is mostly influenced by me, I think of those human merchants who profit from the orcs, and want to get some back from them, talk about those profiteering industries, at least at first I want to teach Kuz how to deal with those human merchants Even if he is a great hunter king in the future, he will also have precious Warcraft leather and other materials on Warcraft to trade with human merchants, I want to leave an impression in Kuz's heart first, so that he will suffer less losses when he comes into contact with those merchants in the future. Unexpectedly, the words I had talked to Kuz before would change Kuz's view of the merchants, and he would think of some ways to restrain them, which was a good inspiration for Meyana.
Later, we talked about the demographic crisis, the Warcraft crisis, in short, a lot.
At last Mayana sighed and said, "It would be five years later for this famine!"
It was already midnight, and Mayana's body looked very tired, but he still barely cheered up, opened his eyes and told Kuz about the recent situation in Gurudin Town, and told Kuz that he must find a way to get a fief, and now even the border of the blood wolf clan has been almost divided, only the edge of the death swamp in the rear is not cared for, and there is still a beast disaster in that place, and Kuz must find a way to obtain the fief there. Dragging her tired body, Mayana spread out a wolfskin mattress by the campfire and slept with her clothes.
Kig also pouted Kurtz on the side, looking at the edge of the swamp, in fact, she wanted to get some corpse oil from the swamp zombies. At this time, Kuzi and I secretly glanced at each other, no one could see the excitement hidden in the eyes of the two of us, in fact, we didn't care about the wasteland that no one cared about, nor did we care about the swamp zombies with a very high probability of giving birth to magic cores in their brains, we fancy the sweet potatoes under the whole swamp, the sweet potatoes that can solve the famine problem of hundreds of thousands of people at once, and the sweet potatoes that can make a lot of vermicelli, in this famine years, the orcs can use them to satisfy their hunger, and after the famine years, we can sell them to the merchants。 (To be continued.) )
