Chapter 030 Healthy Eating is Super
The tauren already have a rough concept of water conservancy. They live in the upper triangle area of the river. They dug two ditches to draw the water from the river to the fields and around the tribe for irrigation. They also use ponds to store water. .
The lower part of the tribe facing south, less than two kilometers away, the entire southwest and southeast is a large swamp woodland, and further south, the strange terrain washed out by the rushing water of the river that nourishes the entire southern grassland forms the beaches of the river banks cannot be seen at a glance. When the weather gets warmer, there will be a large number of migratory birds inhabiting the vast beaches--this magnificent-looking beach may also become the bottom of the river on a flooded summer day, perhaps under the soft mud there may be a deep underground pool hidden underneath that has existed for thousands of years, a place that tauren dare not approach.
The swamp surrounded by woodland is far more dangerous than the flooded mud outside the snow werewolf tribe, and it is used as a natural barrier by the tauren. When Xiao Yun led Qin and a group of tauren women to the swamp to fetch mud, Saladin's wife Qin grabbed Xiao Yun with a smile, and gently and firmly did not allow Xiao Yun to approach the swamp for half a step.
Tauren females are indeed gentle, although they are very tall and bulky, their skin is as thick and tough as cowhide, and their appearance is terrible... But compared to the females of the snow werewolves, they are indeed very intelligent, delicate, with maternal aura unique to women, thick fingers are also quite flexible-tauren's linen cloth is woven by itself, and every adult tauren female has the skills to weave, and can grasp everything from retting hemp yarn.
In addition, the females of tauren are very strong and powerful... They can do everything males can do, and they are more patient than males.
Excavated the hard surface frozen soil more than ten meters away from the swamp, and obtained the thick black mud underneath that did not know how many years of fermentation, mixed with the loess dug out of the field, plus wheat stalks and straw. Rice is also grown), add water and mix, step on the air in the soil, step on the soil to be very delicate, and then fall into a wooden brick mold to form, pour it out, and place it in an open area to dry.
While waiting for the mud bricks to dry, Xiao Yun taught Qin and her tauren women how to choose the place to build the house, how to dig the foundation, how to mix soil and cement, and how to use auxiliary lines to ensure that the mud brick wall was built straight-this process of communication is easier than teaching Qingcao and Dahe. Although it hurts self-esteem a bit, the IQ of tauren is indeed higher than that of snow werewolf... This is also no way that people have already stepped into farming civilization, and farming civilization is relatively nomadic that the farming civilization requires more planning. If the people of farning civilization give up a little bit, they will starve to death.
Because the general weight of the tauren is more exaggerated than that of the tauren, the weight of women is more than 120KG visually, and the weight of men is not even less 150KG. The heatable bed of mud bricks cannot withstand their weights, so Xiao Yun taught them how to use mud bricks to build a fireplace indoors--the area where the tauren lives is more abundant, and the woodland is abounded, so they don't have to worry about fuel, and they don't need to be as economical as the snow werewolf.
In one week, a model house with mud brick walls, doors and windows complete with fireplaces (this time Xiao Yun remembered to add chimneys), and a roof made of wooden planks and straws, the entire tauren tribe was a sensation...
A mud brick house is warmer than a wooden house, after the fire in the fireplace increases the indoor temperature, the tauren people, old and young, are constantly walking back and forth between indoors and outdoors, feeling the different temperature differences inside and outside the house, each on their faces. They all have extremely ferocious and excited expressions. Many people asked Qin on the spot, hoping to learn the technology of building this mud-brick house. They don't dislike the relatively unbearable appearance of the mud-brick house—the so-called beautiful wooden house full of romantic interest. It's cold in winter and hot in summer, and everyone who has lived knows what's going on.
Xiao Yun was arched to the outside by the tauren with their butts. At first he was worried that the tauren would rough and hit the wall that was not dry. When he climbed on the shoulders of Oxhorn to see that everyone was quite cherished the house and not willing to touch it, his Just relieved.
"It's better to be a tauren." Down from Oxhorn's shoulder, Xiao Yun sighed again...If he was reincarnated a tribe of tauren, it would reduce much trouble.
Oxhorn smirked and looked at him: "Ayun, you are really good. You can teach the tauren to build a house. It used to be the tauren who taught us to grow beans. We haven't taught the tauren yet."
Xiao Yun looked at Oxhorn three secondes, raised his hand and patted his sturdy arm: "Okay...I can't leave you behind."
Oxhorn: "?" ,
At this time, Saladin squeezed a gap out of the crowd, and seeing Xiao Yun, immediately rushed over and spread his arms—
"——Jesus!" Xiao Yun felt something would be wrong, and want to escape.
But it was helpless, Saladin's thick and long arms caught him casually, and he hugged him as hard as he was holding a doll. The big fan-like hands hit his shoulders and back, bang, bang..... A series of muffled noises sounded...
"Ox--Oxhorn--" Xiao Yun struggled to reach out his hand for help to the tribe.
Oxhorn stood with his arms akimbo with a proud expression of his pride, and showed him two rows of big white teeth with canine teeth.
"..." Xiao Yun spit out a mouthful of old blood, and he didn't know if it was taken by Oxhorn or by Saladin. After almost slapped Xiao Yun, Saladin released his hands to save Xiao YUn's life, grabbed Xiao Yun's shoulder with his thick palm, and patted his chest with the other hand: "Ayun, you are our tauren friend forever." After a few days of rest, the elder's language ability seemed to have recovered.
"..." Xiao Yun seemed spit out half of his blood weakly, old brother, being your friend is really dangerous.
There are three major items of food, clothing and housing for the grassland people. Xiao Yun and the tauren exchanged iron tools to solve the problem of the tauren's housing in one fell swoop. A proper way can win the friendship of the tauren... The stove-like fire pit in the wooden house (that is, on the ground in the middle of the house to make a pit and burn it), the risk of fire is very high. The tauren has worked hard to dig a few hundred meters of deep water channels to bring the water from the river to the tribe because of the painful experience of burning fires for heating; more warm mud brick houses and fireplaces that can be used to make fires are not just improving a little bit for the tauren's living experience.
Then, Qin also processed the mud-brick house... She put a layer of wood on the inside and outside of the wall, and the beauty was also improved-the wall with only a layer of soil and cement is indeed a bit ugly. There is no shortage of tools for wood processing, and they can pursue visual enjoyment.
Xiao Yun, who had become a guest of the tauren and is more popular than his patriarch--Huoyan, was still facing the problem of continuing to eat and drink with the tauren... Qingyan had not yet returned.
However, there are really not many options that could be released in terms of technical exchanges. The tauren have experience in breeding and selection, and they also know how to dig the black mud of marshes and the mud on the banks of the river to fatten the fields. The food they grow is not only enough to feed the whole big appetite people with more than a hundred mouths, can also support from time to time the tribes in the next door, and the underground world residents who come to beg from time to time...unless Xiao Yun can dig a fertilizer mine or bury his head in the tauren to study natural pesticides, otherwise, there is really no help in farming.
Thought about a long time, Xiao Yun cast his attention to the tauren's diet.
Thanks to the awareness of water conservancy, the tauren can cultivate rice and wheat as staple food, but in terms of eating, the tauren seem to be indifferent... they eat wheat and rice mixed with a small amount of rice. Modern people, like wheat rice, regard it as a food for health-preserving cereals. It is honest and unpalatable! It's terrible! Stuck your throat and neck, if you have an experience to taste if.
Tauren also owns a mill made of two stones and can make pasta... But what kind of pasta is this? It is the wheat flour with wheat bran and water to knead a dead cake, and then bake it and eat it...
Xiao Yun didn't have time to slowly figure out how to make a water conservancy mill for the Tauren to grind refined wheat flour. Teaching Tauren to make fermented pasta was simple and effortless. During the construction of the mud brick house, he took a clay pot and filled the cheese. Dry out the yeast stock solution, ask Qin for some wheat flour, knead the yeast stock solution and knead the yeast into small balls after fermentation. Now, it takes a few more days for the yeast to work.
The mud-brick house built has to be left for a few days before it can be put into use. Qin and Saladin still live in the original wooden house. When Xiao Yun came to the door with yeast and said that he wanted to instruct Qin to make more delicious noodles, Qin once again showed the ferocious and shocked expression that everyone knows...
...Uh, nothing, the snow werewolf is notoriously not picky on food and eats everything. Food culture is infinitely close to zero. It is no wonder that the tauren who claims to be a "grassland gourmet" is shocked...
Xiao Yun was no nonsense, and taught Qin how to use yeast to ferment dough and took the wood and put out a square steamer that could be steam on top of a pot, and then steamed a pot of fluffy steamed bread...
On the earth, the Chinese are the earliest and longest time to use steam to cook food. In the Song Dynasty, mature steamed pasta food and snacks were sold on the street, and the western world until modern times eats pasta baked in the oven. In modern times, many some Chinese who have slavish mentality towards all things foreign criticize steamed food to raise roasted food. However, the real problem is...the superiority of steamed pasta is incomparable to baked pasta. In the era of backward medical conditions, high-temperature steam sterilizes is far better than the scones.
Qin, who has eaten unfermented scones for many years, changed her face when she squeezed the soft steamed bread with her hands. After blowing a breath and biting the steamed bread, the expression on Qin's face was even more exciting..
Modern people mentioned one problem that is easy to ignore when crossing is the problem of dental health. In ancient times, it was difficult for ordinary people to produce adult beauties, because ordinary people ate foods that were rough and hurt their teeth. In the long term, teeth wear and tear, facial features and jaws will be deformed... No matter how natural beauty can't beat the size of the face, the chin is crooked, right?
And in the backward era when there was no dentist, if your teeth rotted, there was no place to give you root management treatment. In other words, you must either find a way to remove the rotted teeth, or you could only suffer...
The grassland tribe also had the same predicament. No matter how healthy the snow werewolves and tauren are, they can't use a strong physique to save their rotten teeth, especially tauren who rely on high starch and high sugar vegetarian food, let alone the elderly, young and strong women such as Qin will have occasionally when the teeth are weak with eating wheat rice and scones.
By fermentation, the wheat flavor in the wheat flour can be fully volatile, it's the fresh steamed bread with natural sweet taste. After tasting, there is no hard and grinding feeling of the scones. Qin eats the steamed bread with a few mouthfuls, and immediately looks at Xiao Yun who has the fermentation steaming technology, slowly opened her arms...
"Come again!" Xiao Yun immediately thought of running away.
It was still no helpful, before he stood up, Qin's arms caught his head and pressed him into a chest that was strong like a pectoral muscle, only slightly softer than Saladin's. The powerful slap slapped his shoulder heavily...
"...Pain again !" Xiao Yun endured and tolerated, but still could not hold back the sweetness of his throat...
Then he was carried by the overjoyed Qin and ran to each house to teach the home-made yeast and fermentation technology...
The patriarch knows the importance of keeping cards for his tribe. During the tauren tribe's cheating, he will not let the tribesmen leave his sight except the horns to deal with the tauren. After all, Ashan knows how to burn pottery, and Hongye and Ayue often Being coaxed by Ayun to help, even if both parties are unwilling, who knows when the secrets of the development plan of the tribe are revealed without shutting up?
Uh, he really doesn't have to worry about Oxhorn, so Oxhorn is free. When everyone was locked up, he is happy to play around in the tauren tribe ...
Seven or eight days after eating, sleeping, eating, obedient as Ashan can't stand it anymore. After running for a long time in the small yard of the guest house, then rushed back to the house and looked at the patriarch pitifully: "I'm so bored that I can't stand it. Why don't we go hunting outside?" He glanced at him, then cast his gaze out of the window, still staring at the place where the group of gray dwarves lived.
"Woo~~" Ashan was helpless, and rolled on the ground...
"Don't shout, it's because you always make such noises, and the gray dwarfs over there are always afraid to come out." The patriarch ignored him.
Boredom makes people think too much. Ashan's mind is so active at this moment, and he quickly gets up: "Are we waiting for the gray dwarves to leave the tauren tribe and then catch them?"
"Uh...no, we I'm waiting for Qingyan." The patriarch's face reluctantly, Ashan has actually become a little smarter, making the patriarch a little unprepared.
Hongye, who had no bones and arrows to grind, leaned in silently, and looked out the window with his arms folded for a while, and then at the patriarch.
——You and Ayun love to stay ar the window and look over there, so what conspiracy do you really have?
Hongye's deep eyes silently stared at the patriarch.
The patriarch silently looked away.
"Why are we going to catch the gray dwarf?" Ahyue, who was also got nothing to do, said as well.
The patriarch... the patriarch was so worried that he scratched his hair, Ayun, everyone can see how I should hide? !
In other words, with the addition of the snow werewolf, the neighbor, the gray dwarf next door was really scared.
Anyone who asks for life on the prairie knows to keep the friendship with the tauren as much as possible. After all, if your tribe is about to starve to death, only the generous tauren will be willing to give life-saving food. Grey dwarves, residents who run up from the underground world, can stand on the grassland without being starved to death or being captured as slaves. They have all received the help of tauren to some extent.
The tribes on the grasslands do not see the weak and easy-to-die slaves of mankind, but the relatively easy to feed the gray dwarves will start - especially the tiger, as the owner of the prairie king's account, the tiger people all non-allowed outsiders as their own slave reserve ... ... If the gray dwarves accidentally entered the territory of the tiger, there would be little freedom for the rest of their lives.
In addition to the tigers, larger cat tribes and even large-scale human trade caravan will also hunt down gray dwarves as slaves... To avoid the tiger, cats, but also to avoid the human constable may pass through the area, gray dwarf living space is conceivable. Meadows are impossible to own, grazing is not possible, want to live on the grasslands, gray dwarves can only hide away from the mining, smelting farm tools and then trading with tauren.
This survival situation is sad, but it is much better than the underworld - the underworld dwarf king and the dark elf master's war lasted for hundreds of years, the small group of gray dwarfs, black dwarfs no matter which side caught is the life of the cannon fodder.
This group of gray dwarves rushed after the snow, the earth is still frozen time to come to the bulldog tribe to complete the transaction is to avoid other tribes, but they never thought such a cold trading period can also meet the snow werewolf ... ... So this group of gray dwarves in exchange for food also dare not leave the cattle-headed tribe, every day to hide their eyes and wait for the snow werewolf to go first - this group of gray dwarves did not fight with the snow werewolf, but can not avoid the snow werewolf's fighting reputation outside ... The degree of ferocity is second only to that of the tiger family, and it is strange that grey dwarves should not be afraid.
"Baru, haven't the snow werewolves left yet?"
Baru, a gray dwarf with a small half-head by the window, looked back and saw the youngest of the clansmen, Shire, sitting up with his stomach covered and his face white.
Grey dwarf body size is relative to the grassland nation is quite pocket-sized, the average height in one meter four, five or so, horizontal is quite strong, but the physical disadvantage can not be changed, not to mention compared with snow werewolves, small cats beat them also not labor difficult.
"Shire, is your stomach still hard?" Baru left the window and walked to the place where the clansmen lay the floor, crouched down and looked at the clansmen with concern.
"... On the way, I shouldn't eat the remaining rotten meat from the beasts because I'm hungry. Shire frowned and sweated down my cheeks, "I think I can't hold on, Baru, let me leave first, not because we have patients and let the bulls kick you all out... If the snow werewolf comes after me, you leave in the other direction."
Baru was silent, and Shire had been diarrhea for several days, and could not hide from the tauren clan - and if at this time, because Shire led to everyone being driven out by the tauren, Baru had no confidence to lead the clansmen to escape the capture of the snow werewolves, after all... When they came to the grasslands, they had been warned not to easily provoke snow werewolves who were worse than the cat tribe.
Shire was Baru's nephew, and Baru was reluctant to abandon him, but... Turning his attention to the other people in the house, Baru couldn't really open his mouth and asked everyone to take risks for their nephews.
Sacrifice compatriots to protect more clansmen this kind of thing, this from the underworld to the grassland gray dwarf tribe has been experienced many times, Shire himself made sacrifices, the leader of the Baru can not object, other ethnic groups will naturally not say much.
Shire struggled to get up, carry his bags, say goodbye to the clans, and slowly walked out of the stuffy house on crutches made of branches.
The tauren all went to work, the tribe only some young tauren cubs are playing, Shire out of the yard, looked back at the cabin for several days, the rushers waved again, retracted their sight, firmly toward the tribe outside.
Body fever, abdominal pain, diarrhea, pulled out of the excreta in pus... These symptoms make Shire slowly despair after the initial fear, he knew that a moment did not control the mouth to eat the rotting meat will take his life this time, before he completely lost the ability to move, he wants to go as far as possible, the tiger-eyed snow werewolf dragged a little longer, to the clansmen to fight for more escape space.
Baru only looked out of the shire and forced himself to move away from the line of sight, urging the clans to pack their bags as quietly and quietly as possible and to bring back the food... Those snow werewolves also attach great importance to the friendship with the tauren, should not be too close to the tauren tribe, this is his only chance to lead the people to escape.
"Yeah?" There's a gray dwarf coming out!
"Why is there only one person?"
"Hey, he's going outside?"
Inside the cabin where the snow werewolves live, the snow wolves staring at each other.
"Why doesn't he look healthy, is he sick?" Ahsan guessed.
"Why do grey dwarves let sick people come out on their own?" Ahyue does not understand.
"Oh, he really went out and walked alone!" Ashan was surprised. "How could this be, that the grey dwarf drove him away because he was ill?" "
" Hey?! Ahyue can't believe looking at Ashan, and looking at the patriarch, " to drive away the sick clansmen?" Grey dwarfs are such a race like this?!
The patriarch stared gravely at the lonely gray dwarve who had come out of the tauren tribe and turned them into small spot, looking at the clansmen and whispering, "It seems that these gray dwarves abandoned their people."
Hongye clenched her cheeks, Ashan and Ayue showed an angry, puzzled expression, abandoning the clansmen this kind of thing in the snow werewolf seems very unacceptable, especially unhealthy, self-preservation of the clan, what is the difference between killing the clansmen?
The patriarch was serious: "Since they abandoned the clan, then we will pick it up, our tribe even Sal has succeeded in raising, the gray dwarf is stronger than the human race, of course we can feed him."
"I'm going to bring him back, and the Gray Dwarf doesn't want him, we want him." Hongye exhaled the authentic, not even the door, and jumped straight out of the window.
"I'll go, too." Ashan keeps up.
Baru, who was saddened by his nephew's departure, suddenly saw two snow werewolves rushing out like a wind, passing in front of the yard where they lived, and staring at him with a vicious look, scaring his body into a softness and almost not sliding down; The two snow werewolves did not find them trouble but quickly left, which made Baru barely stand still, but the next second, see the direction of the two snow werewolves run, Baru lost the strength to insist, fell to the ground.
"It's over... these snow werewolves don't give us a chance to escape at all... Shire's sacrifice is meaningless..."
