Volume 2: The Loose World Chapter 156: Re-examination (58) The Life of the Wood Tribe
In the blink of an eye, in December, Lin Lin came to the Wood Tribe, and she has been living for more than half a year, and the new things of the Wood tribe continue to impact her worldview, so that she has not been able to adapt to it for a long time.
The dough cake eaten in the past was originally made of grass seeds, called wheat, and wheat can also be used to make noodles, pies, buns, steamed buns, rice noodles, bait, rice cakes, hair cakes, dumplings, and rice balls...... It is also made of whole grass seeds.
Obviously made of the most common grass seeds, their taste is strange, much better than grass seeds, but grass seeds and grass seeds are also different, some are called wheat, some are called rice, and some are called millet.
Rice can be turned into white rice, hot rice, and fragrant white rice porridge are all delicious foods, and they are very filling and rich in energy.
In addition, grass seeds can also make wine, different grass seeds, with different means, the wine is also different, there are rice wine, white wine, rice wine, beer, wine is the taste of water, different wine, the taste is also different.
In addition to wine made from grass seeds, there are also wines made from grapes, limoncello made from lemons, and cider made from apples...... The taste is different, but they can make people hot, make people's heads dizzy, and become very bold.
It was a very strange feeling, it was addictive, it was fascinated, as if there was no fear left, she got drunk once, and since then, she has not been able to drink it again.
Because after she got drunk, she slipped from her room to Mu Wu's room, and hugged him all night to call her father, and Mu Wu, who was woken up, was very angry and directly issued her alcohol ban, and no one dared to sell her alcohol again.
So she can only eat sugar, sugar is another good thing, very sweet, full of mouth melting, the whole mouth, is sweet and silky, even if the sugar is eaten, there is a lasting sweetness in the mouth.
There are also many types of sugar, such as glucose made of starch, lactose made of animal milk, sesame candy made of sesame peanuts, maltose made of glutinous rice malt, corn sugar made of corn, and bee candy made of honey.
Sugarcane alone can make sucrose, white sugar, rock sugar, different fruits, can make different fructose, the most common, is apple sugar, strawberry sugar, watermelon sugar, rarer, pineapple sugar and coconut sugar.
It depends on the amount of raw materials, a lot of fructose, the tribe has raw materials, and like pineapples and coconuts, they can only grow by the sea, and they need a lot of salt to grow, although the tribe can cultivate, but there is not much need.
Even without sugar, wine, and grass seeds, the food of the wood tribe is extremely rich, with more than 50 kinds of fruits, more than 20 kinds of nuts, more than 100 kinds of vegetables, and many fruits that can be used as vegetables.
Like cucumbers, tomatoes, radishes, sweet potatoes, cabbage, yams, lettuce...... It can be eaten cooked as a vegetable, but also eaten raw as a fruit, whether it is eaten raw or cooked, it has a unique flavor and high nutritional content.
Potatoes, peas, powdered roots, broad beans, sweet potatoes, corn, taro, peanuts, ...... These foods are also high in energy, and it doesn't take much to make you feel full, and the feeling of fullness lasts for a long time, and the strength is also abundant.
There is also more meat, more beasts, and the harvest of hunting, the animals raised in the tribe are rich in energy, and the beasts outside are full of blood and energy, each with its own use, and can change its taste from time to time.
What's more, there are so many ways to cook so much food, in addition to roasting and boiling, there are also frying, frying, stir-frying, stewing, stewing, steaming...... There are also raw cuts and cold salads, and the same animal meat can make different flavors.
There are also a lot of auxiliary spices, salt is no wonder, pepper, pepper, balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, chicken essence, ginger, garlic, shallots, celery, is the main ingredient of the tribe.
There are star anise, fennel, cinnamon, bay leaves, mortar, angelica, nepeta, perilla, mint, coriander, herb, tangerine peel, cloves, cardamom, ginger, angelica, sand kernels, licorice, woody fragrance, grass fruit, ......
Flavorful, flavorful, fishy, deodorant, each has its own use, reasonable matching, is a delicious food, Kung Pao chicken, fish-flavored shredded meat, lion head, Buddha jumping over the wall...... Let her have a long aftertaste.
Bamboo rice, chicken called flowers, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, lotus root and cured bone soup, stewed chicken soup with shiitake mushrooms, pan-fried pork ribs, fish head soup...... made her feel unstoppable, and the variety of delicacies of the wood tribe almost conquered her.
In addition to food, the life of the tribesmen also surprised her, the animal skin clothes worn by the slaves, which were of better quality than the nobles of the Hou Department, and the cloth clothes that could only be worn by the high-ranking people became the objects of the commoners.
There are also many kinds of plant juices, which render the cloth clothes colorful, beautiful and beautiful, and more durable, and she knows that the cloth clothes are also made of grass, extracted from the grass, made into threads, and then woven into cloth.
As for the upper echelons of the tribe, they wore more cherished silks, soft and tough, light and comfortable, as well as gloves, hats, boots, clogs, socks, such novelties as warmth and defense.
The living environment is also better than the valley, cool in summer, warm in winter, spacious and bright, not damp, much better than a cave, with grass cores, oil lamps made of tung oil, and candles made of beeswax.
In the room, these two things, more convenient and practical than torches, with a lampshade made of gauze paper, greatly amplify the light, even at night, after lighting, it will not feel dim, and many things can be done.
It is said that there are more advanced pine lamps and pine candles, which are brighter when lit and give off a faint rosin fragrance, which smells very good, but she did not try it because the price is too expensive and only a few people in the tribe can afford to use it.
A one-time pine candle costs a silver coin, and her monthly salary is only five silver coins, and the witch disciple is not a high-level person, but he is also a public official, and he does very little, but his status is high, and he has a fixed monthly salary.
In addition to eating sugar, her monthly salary also has to be saved, and the slaves of the Redemption Department, if she buys pine candles, she will not have change to eat sugar, but she saw that Mu Wu lit it and used it, but unfortunately he was thinking about things at that time.
When Mu Wu was thinking, she hated others to disturb her the most, she didn't dare to invite him to be unlucky, she watched from afar, she didn't dare to step forward, she stood and sniffed for a long time, and she didn't smell any rosin, but smelled his silent stinky fart......
There are also many tools used by the tribe, such as weaving, there are carrying baskets, labor-saving baskets and flat poles, bamboo plaques for drying, wheelbarrows and board carts for transportation, and ox carts and horse-drawn carriages for high-rise travel.
Daily utensils, most of them are pottery, can be compared with the fine pottery, she was surprised, I didn't expect, there are more reflective new pottery, and even there is porcelain that has never been seen, more beautiful and strong than pottery.
Porcelain bowls and plates for eating, porcelain cups and cups for drinking, pottery urns and pots for cooking, clay pots and pots for cooking, clay pots and clay jars for holding things, copper braziers for burning fire, square copper plates for frying meat, and teapots for drinking tea - exclusive to witches.
Wu likes to boil leaves and blades of grass in boiling water, boil the water to a turquoise color, then take out the tea leaves, drink the remaining water, and sigh while tasting them, there is no suitable tea leaves, so they can only use them.
Lin Lin once asked, what is the taste of Wu's tea, and those who have not drunk it dare not drink it, saying that it is Wu's privilege, and the face of the drunk has changed drastically, and his face is full of horror and fear, like avoiding snakes and scorpions, shaking his head and not daring to answer.
The more this is the case, the more curious she feels, and once she left while the witch had something to do with making tea, she couldn't hold back, and secretly tasted a small bite, and instantly her pretty face wrinkled, and the bitter taste lingered in her mouth.
The feeling was indescribable, and she lost her teeth, and from then on, there was a dark dish called tea in her world, and she vowed never to touch that thing again, but she saw that the witch drank deliciously, and the more she drank, the smarter she became.
In the end, I couldn't help but be able to hold back, every time I took advantage of the witch's absence, endured the bitterness in my mouth, and secretly drank his tea, I didn't see the wisdom, but tasted something else.
Even the priceless sacred mines of the royal department, nay, bronze, were made into utensils and used normally in life, shovels and hoes for hoeing the ground, bronze ploughs for ploughing fields, bronze sickles for harvesting, and bronze axes for cutting trees......
There are so many utensils in daily life alone, not to mention the equipment for combat, bronze battle armor, bronze weapons, from warrior armament to war horses, it is not for nothing that Lin Hou was defeated by them.
At the same time, the life of the clan is also rich and colorful, unlike other places, when they are busy, they are busy and they die, but they are busy and busy, and their daily life is full and meaningful.
There are twelve hours a day, and the normal period of work for slaves is five hours, the normal period for commoners is three hours, and the normal period for nobles is one hour, and outside of the period, is their own time.
You can earn points for working for the tribe, you can earn money for your work, and the currency can also be exchanged for points, and you can also do what you want to do, participate in various recreational activities, and relax and relieve your body and mind.
Drawing, music, dancing, carving, handicraft, sewing, swimming, singing, bragging...... As long as you don't violate the laws of the tribe, don't destroy the property of the tribe, and do anything, it's your own freedom.
The slaves in the wood tribe, unlike other tribes, get up early and be greedy for darkness, life is better than death, slaves are also clansmen, just clansmen who have made mistakes, they have rights, but they are not high, they can eat most of them and have enough rest.
The children of the tribe basically do not have to work, they only study in the school every day, there is no problem with food, there is no problem with accommodation, the learning environment is relaxed, and the elementary course is relatively simple, without too much pressure.
There are also fixed festivals, there are different activities, when it comes to the festival, children do not have to go to class, adults do not have to work, just put down things, hold hands, hold celebrations, and everyone has enough food.
And when Lin Lin learned that all the things of the tribe, if any, were gradually established under the guidance of the Wood Witch, the horror and reverence in his heart became difficult to repeat, and he became more and more respectful.
She wants her people to have such a life, but she doesn't want her people to become slaves, so she is studying hard, she wants to learn all the skills of Mu Wu, so that Lin Hou can break out of the cocoon and be reborn.
The Wood Tribe has a school, a sir, a Chuanzheng, and the Wood Witch will also open courses, but the range of students is very low, only the best in the university school, and the few witch disciples awakened by the tribe.
Today's disciples are only ten people, two university students with excellent grades, three witch disciples in the headquarters, one witch disciple of the original mountain tribe, three remaining witch disciples in the Lin Hou department, plus Lin Wu Lin Lin.
The main courses he teaches are people and life, dialectics and thinking, development and co-ordination, diplomacy and coordination, a small amount of strategy, a small amount of the art of war, a small amount of mental arts, and a small amount of medical treatment.
The latter four, in the university's bookstore, he has works, students and high-level officials, can borrow and transcribe at any time, but they all know the words, but they can connect them, so they are a little ignorant and not very clear.
But at least you can see a little clearly, and if you can't see clearly, most of them are not qualified to come to the class, and after Mu Wu's explanation, many things that you don't understand have become suddenly clear, and you can remember them deeply, and you will not forget them.
He is a kind and wise elder, with answers to questions, he will point out the clear way, and if there are options, he will only analyze.
Don't tell how to do it, tell why you want to do it, you can't impose it on others with your own opinion, that is not to give people knowledge, but to leave a legacy for generations!
