In the water, Ding Qi stepped on a thicker lotus root with his foot. Then he groped for this lotus root back and forth, and he had the impression that it should be a relatively long lotus root.

"Look at me!"

He roared, and immediately squatted down under the water, and a fierce man stabbed down, and cleared the surrounding mud from the front and back of the lotus root under his feet. After all the water is cleared, pull it out vigorously and drill out of the water.

"Hah!"

Ding Qi, who came out of the water, pulled the lake water on his face, took a breath and shouted loudly:

"Look! How about this? Is it big or not? ”

Ding Qi raised the white lotus root that was as thick as an arm in his hand and shouted excitedly. When the people around saw it, they cheered one after another, and they actually dispelled part of the chill of the lake.

"Great! As big as a bear's penis! ”

Zhuang was there to make a fuss.

"Of course! Who's bigger? Surely bigger than you. It's just that I'm still not as good as the leader, that's even bigger! ”

Xiong is not ashamed, not to mention that he is talking about the big problem of a man, so he can't be cowardly, he went back directly, and slapped Ding Qi on the back quietly.

"Cut! I'm not ashamed! How can you compare to the chief? When didn't you yell and get done right away? ”

Cang booed him on the side, which made the bear want to die, and he wanted to strangle Cang, but unfortunately he couldn't beat him.

Everyone was playing there, but they did not delay fishing for lotus roots, and in another half a day, all the big lotus roots could be fished up, and some small ones were left in the water to continue to grow next year.

Amid the laughter, Ding Qi carefully handed the lotus root to the people on the shore, and he emerged from the water. The sturdy body is already covered with tiny goosebumps, which is a warning to people that they can no longer stay in the water and must go ashore immediately. If not, the cold air entering the body will cause a cold, and at worst, it will fall to the root of the disease, which will cause harm to the body.

Therefore, Ding Qi asked everyone who went into the water to fish for lotus root must go ashore when they have goosebumps on their bodies, and the people who came to fish for lotus root were all people in the army. Some physically strong people like Xiong and Zhuang have been in the water for a third more time than others, and they have been strictly ordered by Ding Qi to stay by the fire and drink hot tea to get rid of the cold.

At this moment, how Ding Qi wished there was a pot of hot wine by his side!

This made Ding Qi's intention to go to Tongcun to dig kudzu more and more, and he had already planned to go to Tongcun in two days, dig out all the kudzu in the soil, and transport it back to Ningcheng to make wine.

The effect of wine is very powerful, not to mention the effect of alcohol, the ability of wine itself to make people feel happy and prosperous is not comparable to any other beverage. He estimated that once the wine he made came out, there would definitely be a lot of wine fairies and drunkards, and there might even be an ancestor of drunken boxing. Not to mention the powerful disinfecting power of alcohol.

Then someone asked, you don't know the alcohol content of wine, how can you make medical alcohol? Well, Ding Qi will make medical alcohol after the success of sake making. If you don't have alcohol, it's a bit early to consider medical alcohol?

Tincchi had never made any wine, but he always had to try it. As a traverser, it would be too stupid to not even know how to make sake. Traversal has a wealth of knowledge, but also to have the spirit of innovation and creativity!

Ding Qi put on the bear skin, drank a sip of tea boiled from calamus to warm his body, and then hugged the little cutie in his arms to warm his chest, which was very comfortable.

In a depression not far away, a large flock of ducks and geese are foraging in the water. The side of the depression facing the lake was fenced off to prevent the ducks and geese from escaping. You don't have to worry about them flying away, but you do have to worry about them diving into the water and escaping into the reeds in the distance.

These ducks and geese with their feathers cut off can no longer fly, and they are driven by a group of children to come here every day to feed, catch small fish and shrimp and eat aquatic plants, and then return to Ningcheng at night. Ding Qi believes that by the beginning of next spring, the ducks and geese will get used to their identity and become true tame animals and begin to breed in these waters.

Winter is coming soon, and the food for these animals is not yet ready. On the other side of the headland, there are more than a dozen people holding long bamboo poles to fish for aquatic plants in the water. The aquatic weeds they catch are transported by others to a sunny place to dry. After drying, these aquatic plants are chopped and ground into a powder to be fed with warm water in the winter. However, some dried small fish and leftover fish bones will be added to the aquatic plant powder, which can increase their nutrition and ensure that they can survive in the harsh winter.

The tribe now produces a batch of stone mills, some large and some small, but it is easy to grind fish bone meal and fine aquatic grass powder. It can only be said that under the guidance of Ding Qi, a cheater, the people of the original graystone tribe burst out their talent for stone tools.

But what Ding Qi was thinking about at this time was the feathers drying on the big stone behind him, which would be the guarantee of whether Ding Qi would be comfortable this winter.

"Cang, look at everyone, don't soak in the water for a long time, hurry up and call it a day after fishing the rest of the lotus root, and make a bowl of spicy fried venison with lotus root for everyone at night, and promise to let you eat all your tongues!"

Ding Qi told everyone to pay attention to their bodies and prepare to treat them. He himself put on a light animal skin garment, and took the cutie back to the city, and came to a leeward corner, where the Gurung clan looked after the bees.

At this time, the weather is getting cooler, most of the bees have returned to their nests, ready for winter, and they are no longer visible outside.

The patriarch of the Gurung clan, Gu Da, was bending down there to examine the love history of the bees in each hive. Now the number of bee colonies has reached thirty boxes, and a lot of honey has been produced, which is stored in clay pots for storage. There are two types of beehives, one is a boxy beehive, and the other is a beehive made of hollowed-out tree trunks, which are very popular in the society of the 21st century.

But before Ding Qi could say hello, he suddenly noticed two figures circling around the beehive, as if they were about to steal honey there. Needless to say, these two goods must be Xiong Da Xiong Er, who is preparing to find some companions for the fat on his body. Stealing honey is a great way to refuel your body quickly.

Since Ding Qi came back, I haven't seen the footprints of two bears, and I didn't expect to meet them here.

Xiong Daxiong and the two Xiongs, who were rummaging through the cabinets, seemed to smell a familiar smell, turned around suddenly, and saw Ding Qi standing there, and immediately rushed over with a low roar. But before the two of them rushed to Ding Qi's eyes, a figure rushed out of the oblique and directly threw them to the ground, which turned out to be Xiao Ke

Love to teach them both!

The movement here also attracted Gu Da, who was checking the bee population in front of him.

"Chief, what's blowing you here?"

"Haha! Are you still so polite with me? I'll take a look at the honey you stored, and take the whole honey back. ”

As soon as Gu Da heard that Ding Qi was going to learn about bees, he immediately explained to Ding Qi with great interest, and opened each beehive to check the status of the bee colony inside. Later, I saw the bee wax prepared by Gu Da, which is the best material for making die-casting molds, and the wax loss method can make too many metal tools.

The two chatted while watching, and Ding Qi also told Gu Da some precautions for bees in winter, do a good job of keeping warm, and at the same time let the bees have honey to eat. However, at this time, Ding Qi didn't care about the bees eating honey, he asked Gu Da to fill a small jar of honey for himself, and by the way, he played with Xiong Da Xiong and Xiong Er for a while, contacting and contacting each other.

Later, Ding Qi went to the carpenter's group and asked about the production of snow plows, skis and snowboards. These things can ensure that the people of the Ding tribe can work normally when it is snowing heavily in winter.

However, Jing bowed to Ding Qi in front of everyone, indicating that the appearance of tung oil seeds has increased the amount of tung oil. Now that he has nothing to do, he will run to the raccoon dog, boil tung oil together, and then make mature tung oil for use. Now there are two boats on the South Lake, which can be used for fishing and collecting aquatic plants, which is all due to Jing. But he gave this credit to Ding Qi, without Youtong, there would be no existence of these ships.

After leaving the carpenter's group, Ding Qi went to the cafeteria, borrowed a bronze pot, and began to prepare the ingredients for the spicy stir-fried venison with lotus root, as well as another dish: honey pork ribs.

The spicy stir-fried venison with lotus root is prepared quickly, two lotus roots, five or six chili peppers, and seven or eight catties of venison. Lately, people have been enjoying spicy food. Although it was spicy for the first time, they wanted to eat the dishes made of chili peppers again, and they didn't know if they were masochists.

As for the honey ribs, it came from a large wild boar accidentally killed by the hunting party. The two pork ribs are still there, just to keep them for Ding Qi to eat as a dish, everyone has eaten stewed pork ribs before, and the taste is still unforgettable.

Honey pork ribs are relatively simple to make, first put the chopped pork ribs into a hot water pot and boil, remove the blood foam impurities, remove the pork ribs and drain the water for later use.

Then turn lard into hot oil, put in the pork ribs and fry until the surface changes color slightly. Then leave the base oil, pour out the excess oil, add the chopped green onion and Sichuan pepper, and then turn on high heat and stir-fry to color the ribs and stir-fry the fragrance.

Then add boiling water, the water surface is level with the ribs, add firewood to boil, cover the lid and pull out the firewood and slowly simmer over low heat.

Since there are many ribs, the stew must be long. Simmer for about an hour on low heat, then add the honey, stir well, and change the heat to high to start reducing the juice.

The honey pork ribs after the juice are attractive in color and mellow in taste, which is very appetizing.

Fortunately, they had already returned, and Ding Qi hurriedly put the first dish of spicy stir-fried venison with lotus root and diced lotus root into the pot, stir-fried, and it didn't take long for it to come out of the pot, and began to enjoy the delicious taste of food with everyone.

It's just that in the face of deliciousness, there is never a shortage of tribal doctors and witches.
