Chapter 39: What a big bamboo forest
"Mianmian, I've delayed you so much, I can already sew, you can help me cut my pants later, and I'll sew them myself when I go back."
It's just that you said you still had to teach me how to cook, but don't forget. β
Hu Lier was afraid that the sheep would forget about it, so she hurriedly reminded.
"I promised to teach for sure, I'm hungry anyway, I'll do it right away, you just watch how I do it, and I'll learn it as soon as I learn it."
Yang Mianmian returned to Bai Mingmo's wooden house and brought the stone bucket and ingredients, after all, there was a temporary earthen stove dug yesterday, which was also convenient.
Yang Mianmian took Hu Lier to the stream and took out a large radish from the basket.
Naturally, Hu Lier was full of curiosity about her food, and the sheep cotton had reached a point where she didn't blush when she lied, and she didn't need to make drafts at all.
It was easy to prevaricate Hu Lier, and Hu Lier simply believed it.
Just waiting for a bucket of radish beef stew to be ready, Hu Lier couldn't stop eating.
She was an eye-opener, and the sheep were indeed smarter than the average orc.
I can think of such a way of cooking, meat with water and wild vegetables, not only delicious, but also full.
And they save a lot of meat, in the words of the sheep, so that it is better for their bodies to eat.
When Hu Lier was leaving, the sheep gave her a handful of pumpkin seeds and winter melon seeds, and taught her how to raise seedlings and plant them.
Fox Lier returned suspiciously, and next to the wooden house, she scattered two handfuls of seeds and watered them.
In order to prevent the orcs of the tribe from trampling them like weeds, she also planted branches around the seeds to protect them.
The sheep told her that when she germinated, she would go to her when her fingers grew, and she would teach her how to plant.
For this reason, the later fox Lier had to go every day to see if those seeds had sprouted, and serving these seeds had become something she had to do every day.
She was looking forward to the day described by the sheep and the seeds that had taken root and would bear great fruit.
Naturally, sheep sheep also breed a lot of winter melons, pumpkins and even watermelon loofah seedlings in the woods.
Many of these seeds were stored in the space before.
She didn't rush to tell the patriarch, she also wanted to wait for the seedlings to grow, and then dig some directly to the patriarch, so that the patriarch could distribute them to the orcs to plant for themselves.
Hu Lier went back, but it was still early, and by looking at the direction of the sun, Yang Mianmian guessed that it was about two or three o'clock in the afternoon.
looked at the house that was not even a prototype, and the sheep and the sheep carried the basket on their backs, and went to find Yang Ting and Xiong Cao.
Bamboo shoots are growing every day, and if they are not broken in time, they will definitely grow.
It doesn't matter if the house is a day or two at night, it is important to break the bamboo shoots back first.
With the help of her memories, Yang Mianmian found Yang Ting's wooden house in the tribe.
When she came, Yang Ting and Xiong Cao were weaving straw shoes, and judging by the size, they should have made them themselves.
Seeing the sheep sheep, both females were a little surprised.
"Mother, Xiong Cao, I came to you to break bamboo shoots together, didn't Xiong Cao say that there are many bamboo shoots there?"
"Huh? It's not early in the day, and it will take a long time to come back and forth, and it will probably be dark when you come back. β
Yang Ting didn't expect that at this time, Yang Mianmian would have to go so far away.
"It's okay, as long as it's in the tribe, it's all safe.
We'll go now, and we'll be back later. β
Thinking about it, the males were not there, and they had nothing else to do, so they carried baskets on their backs and went with the sheep to the bamboo forest on the edge of the tribe.
As soon as it came, the sheep was so happy!
This bamboo forest is not small at all, but you can imagine how many bamboo shoots there are in it?
This bamboo forest is also strange, and there are several varieties of bamboo.
In addition to the strange dragon scale bamboo, there are also several varieties such as moso bamboo and spotted bamboo.
What shocked the sheep the most was that there was a giant dragon bamboo here.
In a previous life, she had only seen it on video, and it was said to be the largest bamboo in the world.
When bamboo grows into adulthood, it can reach a diameter of 40 centimeters and a height of 40 meters.
It can be said that it is okay to cut down a tree and make a stool, a retort, a washbasin, a vegetable basin, or even a bucket for your home.
The most important thing is that the bamboo shoots of this giant dragon bamboo can weigh dozens of catties with one.
It's a pity that with this basket on their backs, they can't carry a few back at all.
"Mianmian, is this the bamboo shoot you said?
Isn't it too big, it's all the same as a tree, can you really eat it? β
Xiong Cao looked at the sheep and the sheep looking at the giant dragon bamboo shoot with excitement in her eyes, and she expressed her doubts.
"Yes, it's the best of bamboo!
I really didn't expect that our tribe still has such a large bamboo forest, why didn't any orcs use these bamboos before?
These bamboos are more useful than trees, but these bamboos, let's wait for the males to come back and cut them, it's too high, if we cut one back, we don't have to break the bamboo shoots today. β
Eventually, the three of them split up and began to break bamboo shoots.
Yang Mianmian didn't let them attack the giant dragon bamboo that was as tall as one person, after all, they didn't have the tools to take advantage of, and it took some time to get a bamboo shoot of the giant dragon bamboo.
It is better to break the bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest first.
But this bamboo forest is too big, there are too many bamboo shoots, and the sheep and sheep are grinning while breaking, and soon the back basket is full.
It's just that, looking at the remaining bamboo shoots, if you don't break them today, they will get old tomorrow, Yang Mian hesitated for a moment, and began to throw them into the space while breaking.
Anyway, each carrying their own backs, Yang Ting and Xiong Cao were busy with their own work, and they didn't have time to pay attention to what Yang Mian was doing.
It wasn't until the back baskets of Yang Ting and Xiong Cao were full that Yang Mian stopped.
"Mianmian, there are so many bamboo shoots here, let's go back and tell the patriarch.
Let the orcs of the tribe come to gather together, and in winter, the tribe will have one more food. β
Xiong Caohan is a little naΓ―ve, but kind-hearted.
Yang Mianmian didn't think about it so much, maybe it had something to do with the living environment in her previous life.
Sure enough, this ancient orc still has a simple heart and still accounts for the majority.
"Okay, anyway, this bamboo forest is too big, and the three of us can't pick it all, so it's better to let the orcs in the tribe come."
Although people do not die for themselves, the sheep and the sheep also clearly understand that they are almost still part of the collective life.
A tribe is good, and they, the weak orcs, will live better.
By the time the three females returned to the tribe with a basket full of bamboo shoots on their backs to find the patriarch, it was already dark.
The patriarch's cabin is in the center of the tribe, and the patriarch has three sons who have reached adulthood, all of whom are third-order orcs.
And they all have partners, have set up their own doors, and have their own wooden houses.
