Time flies quickly, and it is the season when the grass grows and the warbler flies.

If this season is placed in the south, it must be the twilight spring season when the plants and trees are vigorous and the flowers are vibrant. But in the location of the Ding tribe, there is still some chill in the morning and evening, but all kinds of wild grasses and wild vegetables are breaking through the soil in large quantities, all kinds of trees are sprouting, and animals are also active in large numbers.

It was precisely because of Tinch's order that the entire tribe began to enrich its contents. In addition to meat, spiny cabbage, purslane, koji cabbage, gray cabbage, and shepherd's cabbage gradually entered everyone's bowl.

The barbecue master now has five or six seedlings in the canteen who are interested in cooking, and these wild vegetables are what the barbecue master learned from Ding Qi and then taught them to divide the labor.

Among them, there is a food called oil fragrance that has become a spice for everyone's breakfast time.

Oil fragrance is a local specialty snack in Enshi in the past, similar to Henan's meat box, but not so big, the size depends on the place, the outside is a layer of fried dough, and the inside is a variety of fillings.

The oil incense has to be made with an oil incense scoop.

The oil fragrant scoop is a long spoon, the handle of the spoon is about half a meter long, the spoon or about the size of the mouth of the bowl, round and flat, the bottom center is slightly protruding; There are also barrel-shaped barrels with a diameter of six or seven centimeters and a height of about three or four centimeters, with a flat bottom.

Since there was no flour, Ding Qi chose kudzu powder as the raw material for the dough. Beat the kudzu root powder and water, dip the oil and incense scoop into the slurry, and let the kudzu root pulp cover the bottom and inner walls of the soaked incense scoop. Then put in some wild vegetables and meat mixed with the meat filling, and then pour a layer of kudzu powder batter on top, and put the oil fragrant scoop in the oil pan to fry.

When the kudzu root pulp can completely wrap the filling after frying, flip the oil fragrant scoop, and the oil fragrance inside will naturally slide into the boiling oil pan, and keep turning it with chopsticks until it is completely cooked and removed, and an oil fragrance will be successfully made.

This was the best fried food in the primitive times when there was no flour and there was not enough rice flour. When the deer was the first to taste the fragrant aroma of oil, it almost swallowed its tongue.

It's so delicious!

However, no amount of kudzu powder can withstand everyone's daily eating. After eating for two days in a row and limiting each person to two oily fragrances, the stock of kudzu powder began to bottom out, and Ding Qi was reluctant to give it to everyone again. However, in the face of the agitated tribesmen, Ding Qi promised everyone to let everyone eat after another year of rice planting. Everyone was looking forward to it, reminiscing about the beauty of the meat filling.

"Ahh I miss flour so much! ”

"Brother Ding, what is flour?"

"Flour comes from wheat, and the flour made from wheat is called flour, which is white and similar to kudzu flour."

"Then why do you miss flour so much?"

"Because you can make dumplings with flour!"

"And what are the dumplings?"

"Well~, that's a kind of food, wrapped in a layer of flour on the outside, put shepherd's cabbage and meat filling inside, wrapped in the shape of an ear, put it in boiling water and cook it, and you can eat it."

"When you say this, it sounds delicious, I wonder when I will be able to eat the dumplings you said?"

"It will take more than ten or twenty years, or even longer, and maybe our children will be very big by then!"

Ding Qi petted the deer's head dotingly, and said with a wistful expression.

But when Lu heard Ding Qi talk about his and Brother Ding's children, they were there

The deer in infinite reverie was stunned for a moment, followed by red clouds rising from his whole face, lowered his head shyly, and said in a mosquito-like voice:

"Brother Ding, that... Then I'll... Let's give you a baby! ”

The deer plucked up the courage and finally spoke his mind.

Ding Qi, who was still there and missed the taste of dumplings, didn't hear clearly for a while, and said loudly:

"What did you say?"

"I... I'll give you a baby! ”

The deer raised its voice slightly.

"What?"

Ding Qi couldn't believe it, and completely forgot what he had just said.

The deer thought that Ding Qi did not hear clearly, so he took a sharp breath and shouted loudly:

"I want to give you a baby!"

The sound spread to the four fields, and this roar spread throughout Ningcheng.

The news that the deer was planning to give birth to a child for Aragami spread far and wide, and the half-day effort was already known. Everyone who heard the news cheered, and finally hoped that the leader was ready to have a child!

For Ding Qi, thinking about such beautiful things as oil fragrance and dumplings, how could he go off topic to give birth to a child? Besides, how can a deer who is usually quiet shout so loudly?

O woman! I really don't understand! However, this will not reduce the interest of him and Lu in turning over the clouds, but the deer who begged for mercy wanted to find another woman for Ding Qi, but Ding Qi refused.

With the consumption of a large number of wild vegetables, the molting of the hands of the tribesmen has greatly improved. Ordinary people can't feel it, but several elders and witches of the tribe know in their hearts like a mirror that it is the leader who used his magical knowledge to cure the disease of molting on everyone's hands.

Therefore, Tinch's position is becoming more and more important in the minds of everyone.

In fact, there is another aspect that everyone has not noticed, that is, some green leafy vegetables such as leeks and cabbage that are not available in winter, and they can still eat some occasionally among the upper echelons of the tribe. This is thanks to the greenhouse built by Ding Qi and the vegetables grown in it.

A large tribe of 2,000 people is definitely a behemoth in the current world. For the five major tribes in the past, more than 500 people can already be called a big tribe, let alone 2,000 people.

Although these five tribes can be called large tribes, they are only large tribes in this area, and they can exert power over the heads of many small and medium-sized tribes. If you look at the entire Great Wilderness, there are many tribes that are much larger than them, such as the Great River Tribe, the Bear Tribe, and so on. Moreover, when chatting with millet and grass, Ding Qi learned that there is also a big tribe called turbidity, which is not at all comparable to the grasshopper tribe.

The fly in the ointment is that this muddy water tribe is still far from the Jishi tribe, and they have not been to this tribe, which makes Ding Qi's desire to understand this big tribe frustrated.

However, Ding Qi believes that in such a big world, there will definitely be various different tribes, big or small, and there must be some survival skills. Ding Qi has already started to prepare to visit these tribes, sell the specialties of his tribes, and find out the intelligence information of these tribes, so as to prepare for the alliance in advance.

The plan of the year lies in the spring!

The large tribe of 2,000 people had their own division of labor for eating, drinking, and Lazar, and the tribe had already become active as early as when water conservancy was being built and ditches were dug. The internal affairs of the tribe have been arranged by the elders Ben and Bucks, such as spring ploughing, manure transportation, sowing, grazing, breeding, etc

Thing, Ding Qi has long been learning.

According to Dingqi's own judgment, the current location is roughly equivalent to the former Tohoku region, and the crops sown are not suitable for winter, so they need to be cultivated in the spring.

At present, the tribe already has many crops and vegetables, but few crops suitable for planting in the spring. Some of the rapeseed planted earlier has grown, but some of it has not survived the cold winter and become part of the earth. Well, now is the season for planting rape. Of course, the cultivation of yams, kudzu, nettles and hemp is also indispensable.

In particular, due to the certain harm, Ding Qi specially ordered people to open up a large field, and built a fence around it to prevent people or animals from entering. Some time ago, the plot was deeply cultivated, and the fertilizer was sufficient, and the seeds were sown after raking.

Other crops suitable for cultivation are the sole responsibility of the eup, which is in charge of planting.

In addition, Ding Qi planned the north and west shores of the South Lake, and Ben arranged for people and livestock to dig paddy fields along the coast and prepare for the cultivation of rice in large quantities.

Ding Qi didn't do everything himself, he only took care of the general direction. After arranging the important things, Ding Qi is ready to embark on the journey again. This time, he was going to take people on a trip to visit the two tribes of Ugin and Yanhuo.

Speaking of travel, the Tribe currently has several important things that need to be handled by the Tribe Dispatch. The first is that the Aoki tribe will move to the Ding tribe after the snowfall, and Ding Qi has arranged for the warehouse to set off to meet him on the first day of the snowfall, and a guide from the Aoki tribe is responsible for guiding.

The second is to promise the elephant trunk of the southern fall of the mountain, and still lead his independent company of 70 people to the southern part of the mountain to fall in full armor. Zhuang has been granted credit by Ding Qi, and he can kill people according to the situation, but he must not be thirsty for killing, and he must take down the Yue tribe. Subsequently, whether it was the Shannan tribe or the Xia tribe, they would all be included in the Ding tribal alliance system. Not to mention the small and medium-sized tribes such as the Centipede tribe, their choice can only be the Ding tribe.

The third is to arrange for Ben to lead the soldiers of the platoon of the falcon to go to the location of the original Jishi tribe under the leadership of the leader of the Jishi tribe, intending to open a trade route there. There was also Qianshui of the River Tribe, in order to find out the situation between the Jishi tribe and the Turbid Water tribe, and then turn to the River tribe for contact.

Ben's team is all old men among the warriors, experienced and well-equipped. When he set out, he rode in pairs, carrying a large number of specialties of the Ding tribe on horseback, including pottery and coarse salt. It is true that trade routes are opened, and it is also true that information is sought.

After this winter, the tribe tamed many horses for riding, enough for everyone to use. In the second half of the year, the tribe had to reduce its daily feeding, and even sent a large number of people out to find forage, including all kinds of branches and bark that they could eat.

This is due to the fact that the initial forage wasting and the estimate was skewed, and the tribe had not only horses, but also cows, donkeys, reindeer, sheep and other forage-eating animals. Fortunately, spring came in time, and the tribe directly arranged for the shepherds and shepherds to drive their respective livestock to the surrounding pastures, hillsides and forests to replenish the fodder.

The tasks of the three teams that set out were all important, but not as important as Dingqi's personal visit to the Ugin tribe.

The people who visited included the platoon of the Red Scorpion, the 20-member smelting craftsman team and their chief leader, Ma Lu, and the 12 warriors who were evaluated during the Spring Festival.
