Chapter Seventy-Nine: Cooking and Porridge

The fruits of victory were all piled up in the courtyard, like a hill, which made people look at it refreshedly.

What a harvest this season!

The tiredness just now was swept away, and the two of them were overjoyed around this large pile of grain.

This is the result of half a year's labor, this is the value we have created, and no matter how much hard work is worth it!

"Okay, take a break, there is still one last step to be completed, this outer skin has to be peeled off, and then the grain is stacked up again to be completed, otherwise it will be piled up like this, if it rains, the harvest will be lost."

The old farmer looked at the two of them, yes, their hard work has been rewarded, and everyone will be happy, but now is not the time to be happy.

"Got it, dude."

The two of them replied and listened to the old farmer's instructions.

Peeling, this is the most critical step, only in this way, can be better irradiated by the light, speed up the evaporation of water inside, and make the grain more durable.

Otherwise, when it rains, the buds will retain water, and the grain inside may sprout and grow mold, and it will not be able to be stored for a long time.

And not only that, although the deworming is very active, but it is not known how many insects are eating the grain, so peeling is also a process of deworming.

Pick up a spike, pinch the tip of the index finger and thumb of both hands, tear it to both sides, the outer skin is torn apart, stroked downward, and then broken at the bottom, the whole outer skin is shed off, the whole process can be said to be very neat.

The two of them were the same, following the example of the old farmer, and began to peel one ear after another.

Sure enough, it was also a test, and I didn't feel anything at first, it was very easy.

It's just that it didn't take long for the fingers of both hands to begin to ache faintly, and the tiger's mouth was a little painful when I broke it.

The left and right bows were opened, the left hand hurt and the right hand was broken, the right hand hurt and the left hand was broken, and the ground was quickly filled with a pile of outer skins, and the cleaned grain next to it was also piled up together with a bright yellow light.

Sitting or squatting, the two of them were quickly processing the food, but the pain in their fingers also slowed down their speed, and now they are gritting their teeth and persevering.

The two of them also knew that at this time, they were insisting, and if they withstood this strength, they were basically numb and would not feel anything, which was all the experience summed up from the previous farm work.

You can't stop at this time, and if you stop and rest, the pain when you resume work after a while will be even more painful.

Will, strength, endurance, the whole body has undergone another test, but this time the test requires more precise control and willpower.

The numbness of the body makes people nervous, and occasionally stretching will only make the next fatigue come faster.

Everything is a trial, a trial to let yourself grow, only grit your teeth and persevere.

After two days of processing, the grain was finally cleared, and in the process, all kinds of insects were encountered, and this time there was no screaming.

It's just that the moment you touch the bugs, the goosebumps all over your body are stimulated, and the bursting pulp left behind also makes the shadow area in people's hearts even larger.

Although a long time has passed after processing the food, for a long time, the two of them always feel that there will be inexplicable things crawling on their bodies, and their fingers unconsciously want to tear something apart.

The grain was piled up, dried in the light, and dried day by day.

Everyone is also hoping that the weather will not rain, so that the grain will be drier and fresh food will be eaten faster.

God seems to have heard everyone's voices, and it is still very face-saving, there has been no precipitation for so many days, so the grain that has been completely dried is finally much drier.

Take a few ears and carefully twist the seeds on it, put it on the mill to dry, and when it is dry, the two people routinely push the mill and grind all the seeds into powder.

Xiaoyou even volunteered, and her chef's soul finally burst out under the stimulation of the big girl and made dinner for everyone.

Although it is easy to make noodles into porridge, it is also a big challenge, especially for those who have never done it, it may be even more difficult to get started.

Boil the water first, wait for the water to boil, then take a pot of noodles, stir the water with a spoon to form a swirl, and gently shake the small basin so that the noodles can fall evenly and sprinkle on the water.

This is really a big challenge, and Xiao You's strength control is still not so perfect.

In the end, either the water stirred a second slower, or the small basin shook a little faster.

When the noodles fell into the water, the pimples looked very dazzling one by one.

"Are we going to eat pimple soup?"

Mo Ju didn't know what to do, so he asked, and then he incurred a scolding from Xiao You.

Xiao You is still thinking of a way, so many pimples are certainly not a good thing, they will definitely be ridiculed, the first meal they made can't just be soaked in the soup, the food they grow with their own hands, how can there be a perfect ending.

The pot was already boiling, and it was bubbling, Xiao You added another scoop of cold water to it according to the big girl's words, covered the pot, and began to cook again.

After a while, the pot boiled again, but although the pimples inside tended to decrease, they still retained a large number of them, and they could not be removed at all.

"What should I do?"

looked left and right, taking advantage of the unpreparedness, Xiao You seemed to have fished something out of the pot, and then ran out quickly, and then quickly ran back.

"This time it's okay."

Xiao You smiled reassuringly, put the grate in the pot, put the steamed buns away, covered the pot again, carefully added firewood, and boiled it with all his heart.

I put gas in the middle a few times to prevent the pot from boiling, so I stumbled like this, and finally made this dinner.

When the meal was served, Xiao You was very active this time, running one by one, putting everything on the table, and then calling everyone to eat.

"It looks good!"

Mo Ju looked at the steamed buns, and then looked at the porridge in the bowl, it was okay, in good condition, there was no boiling pot.

I took a sip, it's OK, it's good, it's delicious, if it's a little thicker, it should be better, add more water.

Mo Ju just drank and didn't dare to comment, in case he said it wrong, he was the one who was unlucky in the end.

"It's okay, there aren't many pimples, the viscosity is so-so, did you add more cold water later."

The big girl said casually.

"It's good to be able to eat, no, no, it's my craft that is a little trendy, and it's definitely no problem next time, I don't know how to cook after putting down my craft for too long."

Xiaoyou laughed and said, not that there was too much water, but that countless big bumps were fished out, laughing and crying!

"Let's eat it, anyway, it's all self-grown food, and whatever you make it looks delicious."

Although the big girl said and ate in her mouth, the movements did not stop, she still drank porridge and ate steamed buns with pickles.

A dinner, although there is no meat, no oil and water, and it is not too delicious, but it is extremely sweet in the mouth.

From seedlings to seeds, to now being able to eat in your mouth, this is all the income of your own labor.

Happiness, as it is, is simple and ordinary, day after day.

The grain outside is hoarded high, and there is a breathable layer in the middle, all for water and ventilation.

Looking at the food piled up, Mo Ju and Xiao You also had a sense of pride, and they also had an urge to stay here and not want to leave.

However, the thought only flashed and never came to mind again.

It's a great place, but it's not really an ideal town.

There's still a lot to do out there, and a lot of people waiting for them to go back.

Ripe crops are harvested and new ones are planted, and this is the law of nature.

After a short break, Mo Ju and Xiao You were about to start their first farm work again.

Dig and turn over the soil to provide conditions for the sowing of new crops.

But before that, the weeds in the field, and the straw left behind, needed to be dealt with.

Humans don't need these things, but after cleaning up, many other races still need them.

Although it is more palatable to go to the wild to eat, the danger factor is much greater, so some herbivorous races will exchange some things for something that humans don't need, which can be regarded as making the best use of things.

Of course, this is also in the case of an agreement between the two parties.

Otherwise, if you act rashly, these herbivorous races will become a meal of meat in someone's pot.

It's still the work of Mo Ju and Xiao You.

This time, all the straw was to be put down and bundled into small bundles one by one, so that it was easy to transport.

It's easy to say, but it's not easy to do, of course, it's easy to put down a small straw, but if you want to put it down perfectly, without leaving some stumps, it takes some effort.

The big hoe is a bit tall and not easy to use, so you can only use a small hoe and fall down one by one.

Holding the straw behind his arm with one hand, he waved the hoe vigorously with the other.

Look at the bottom of the straw, bow your head, bend over, raise the hoe, and swing it down vigorously.

A hoe goes down, and it is directly planed up by the roots, and the action is done in one go, which is quite skillful.

But when he saw that there were still so many straws to fall, Mo Ju instantly felt that his waist hurt again, and he couldn't see the long dragon at a glance, when was it going to fall.

Just like when pulling weeds, at the beginning, the seedlings were still low and could see the ground, but when they grew to more than one person's height, the direction of the ground was really far away, and this kind of psychological contest has always been there.

Why do you have to engage in such a long land, Mo Ju still slandered, although he has been slandered many times.

In the end, I could only say helplessly in my heart:

"Take your time."

waved his hand to drive away the heat above his head, and then lowered his head again, not letting the leaves on his face, but the hairs on the straw did not stop falling for a moment, and the human face and body were itching unbearably.

Bow down, pick up a stalk, hoe it down, and then follow the next one, and after a while, it falls down, and it can't be held in your arms.

Lay it on the ground, wait for it to be poured and then bundle it up again, and then you can trade with other races.
