110 cold season
Tang Qingqing now has space, and took three tall and strong males to hunt in the forests of several other tribes, because they were few and they only went into the forest to hunt after dark, and the orcs of several tribes did not find that there were fewer prey in the forests of their territories.
After eating last night, Tang Qingqing also took Xuan Jiu, Mo Ye and Lang Yue into the forest of the Red Flame Tribe's territory to hunt as usual.
"Qingqing... Are we going back tomorrow? "Xuan Jiu looked like he wanted to finish the prey here before leaving.
"Leave some food for the females and cubs of their tribes, we've hunted a lot of prey these days, and it's almost enough for half of our tribe's orcs."
Tang Qingqing and Xuan Jiu moved to the side of the grass as they spoke, seeing that Langyue had already faced a fierce beast of three or four hundred catties, and they were next to them to prevent the fierce beast from running away if they couldn't beat it.
Moyer turned into a colorful bird and beast and landed on a large tree, staring at a group of spotted elk in the distance that came out to feed, and then spread its huge wings and pounced in that direction.
This is another night that is destined to return with a full load, several people left the forest of the Red Flame Tribe before the sky turned white, and found a safe place to rest, Tang Qingqing and they each leaned against the stone wall to sleep, until the sun rose and finished breakfast, and then set off back to the tribe.
When Tang Qingqing and the others returned to the tribe, there were already snowflakes in the sky.
Qingshan was very happy to see her sister come back, but because she had been out for so long, she still said that she would go home early next time she went out.
When Tang Qingqing came back this time, she found that the black sister-in-law's belly was bigger, and when she said it, the black sister-in-law habitually patted her arm.
"I'm going to give birth in a month, so my belly can't be big."
Tang Qingqing touched the arm that was beaten, how could she forget, it only takes six months for a female to get pregnant and give birth here.
Qinghe saw a few animal skin bags of white flour brought by Tang Qingqing and Xuan Jiu and asked, "What is this?" ”
Xuan Jiu didn't quite know what the white flour that Tang Qingqing got out of the husk was, so he only heard her say that she could make food.
Tang Qingqing was amused to see Xuan Jiu, who couldn't answer, and walked over to relieve the siege and said: "Second brother, I call this flour, as for what you can do, you can chop some diced beast meat, ginger, and wild onions, and I'll make dumplings for you to eat." ”
When the black sister-in-law heard that Tang Qingqing was going to make a new meal, she hurriedly asked, "Are the dumplings delicious?" ”
Tang Qingqing touched her sister-in-law's big belly, and was surprised by the bag on her stomach, and put her hand there before replying: "Whether it is delicious or not, it depends on personal taste, and when the time comes, you will know whether you like it or not." ”
The meat is chopped by the third brother Qingchuan, and the dumpling filling is made by Tang Qingqing stirring the stored wild onions, ginger, garlic and picking and grinding seasonings.
When making dumplings, in addition to cooking, the talented Xuanjiu dumplings are also decent, and the dumplings made by Tang Qingqing's three elder brothers are called a strange shape.
The third brother Qingchuan, who was the most clumsy, saw that Tang Qingqing's dumpling wrappers rolled on the stone table were very easy to handle, so he ran over and took the rolling pin made of wood from her.
"A guy who has no patience to do anything, how can he do such a meticulous job as making dumplings well!"
The second brother Qinghe didn't finish laughing at the dumplings in his younger brother's hands.
Qingchuan was still glaring at the second brother fiercely, but he saw Qinghe who broke the dumpling skin because of too much force, and he sat under the stove and laughed and laughed at his rude second brother.
Qingchuan's laughter made the annoyed Qinghe almost smash the dumplings in his hand in the face. But seeing the smiles of the whole family, Qinghe felt that it was okay to be ridiculed by this annoying brother once in a while.
The happiness of being a family together is so simple, Tang Qingqing looked at the dumplings pinched into various shapes next to him, and couldn't help but shake his head and smile, now he thinks that it doesn't matter if the shape of the dumplings looks good or not, as long as the meat filling is not exposed when steamed.
Because there are many people and male orcs all eat a lot, so Tang Qingqing and the others not only made dumplings, but Qingshan and Xuanjiu also roasted meat.
When the dumplings are steamed out of the pot, there are dumplings with open filling, but the fragrant dumplings still conquer everyone's stomach.
Tang Qingqing, who ate dumplings again, also had a lot of emotions in her heart, she didn't expect that one day she would be excited to eat dumplings.
The black sister-in-law even said in a loud voice: "It's delicious... Delicious! ”
Even steaming two pots of dumplings is still not enough for six people in the family to eat, and even a pot of barbecue next to it is finally eaten clean.
After eating, Tang Qingqing told the three brothers about other ways to make flour, so that they could learn to make it slowly, and if not, she would teach her to make it again.
When Tang Qingqing left, Tang Qingqing gave them twenty or thirty catties of flour each, and told them a few simple pasta recipes, and also said that if they didn't know how to do it, they would teach them again.
After coming back, Tang Qingqing gave them the prey that Moye and Langyue had hunted along the way.
There were only flour and two people, and they didn't want to say that Tang Qingqing didn't make it for them, but when Tang Qingqing was making pasta, he just occasionally asked them to taste it.
Tang Qingqing also knew that as long as the males could eat enough, they would definitely rather barbecue meat than make such troublesome food as pasta, and they would actually put it there and waste it if they gave it to them.
She had long discovered that single orcs rarely picked plant seeds for food, and most of the time they were willing to go hunting and come back to dry them for reserve food.
Tang Qingqing and Xuan Jiu walked in the tribe where they lived in the valley, and saw air-dried meat hanging under the eaves of every house, presumably their barns were also full of prey from the cold season.
The cold wind was wrapped in snowflakes, and the plush animal skin hat on Tang Qingqing's head was pressed downward.
This pure white animal skin coat was sewn by Xuan Jiu for Tang Qingqing for a long time, and the pure black furry collar around the neckline was his own broken tail.
The two of them walked to the small river at the bottom of the hillside and saw that it was frozen, but the ice was so thin that they could see small fish swimming below.
They went again to inspect the high wall at the mouth of the valley, and the fastened tribal gate, which was blocked by a large stone behind the gate, as few orcs went out again, so that even if a wild beast came, it would not be opened.
However, such high and thick walls and tightly blocked tribal gates can only prevent wild beasts from entering the tribe, but they cannot stop those orcs who want to steal.
As the cold season gets colder and colder, there are more and more orcs who don't have enough food to store, especially the fallen orcs who live in the Netherworld Forest, where there is already little prey.
