It started snowing early this morning, after Aze made breakfast, he warmed Chen Qi and Ajing's share by the fire, then carried the well-fed little wolf cub back to bed and went out to change the guard with Ake, Now that Azhang is not here, Ali will take turns to watch for half a day with a few people.
Chen Qi had already woken up when A Ze got up, and the habit of liking to stay in bed reappeared after the days became calm recently. A fluffy paw slapped Chen Qi's nose. Chen Qi gritted his teeth in pain, picked up the evil little wolf cub and threw it on the other bedded A Jing, rubbing his nose , Tuanbatuanbai, the quilt plans to sleep for a while.
Chen Qi asked Ah Jing to sleep until the sun came out every day on the grounds that he would not grow up tall. After a few days of adjustments, Ah Jing got up early in the morning before dawn and all kinds of busy work problems have been corrected by Chen Qi Come here, even though he was hit by the little wolf cub like this, he still didn't wake up.
The little wolf cub rolled on the quilt, hummed and kicked his little paws to stand up again, wagging his tail like a domestic puppy wanting to beg for food from his master, he pushed Chen Qi's tightly wrapped bag away with his small head. With a tight quilt, he got into it familiarly.
"Got it, got it, I'll get up and go." Chen Qi reluctantly pulled out the little wolf cub who got on top of him to make trouble again. The little wolf cub looked at him with big innocent eyes and saw Chen Qi's mouth gnawing. It seemed to be talking and tilted its head slightly. Well, it didn't understand what Chen Qi was saying at all.
Putting the little wolf cub under the bed, Chen Qi first tucked the quilt for Ah Jing, and then went into the bathroom to wash up.
He routinely finished his morning exercise before eating breakfast. Just after eating, he saw Carlo holding A Yao and pushing the door in. At this time, A Jing also got up. Carlo put A Yao in a small wooden bed specially made by Chen Qi. There are railings around the wooden bed, so there is no need to worry about A Yao falling to the ground.
"What did you say you were going to eat yesterday?" Carlo took off his heavy cloak and coat. There was a fire in the house and he was not afraid of the cold. He rolled up his sleeves and washed his hands and asked Chen Qi.
Chen Qi wrote down the Tang poems that A Jing was asked to practice today, and then briefly explained them to A Jing. Now only A Jing is assigned homework and homework by Chen Qi every day, and the others are learning according to their interests, or they can do it for free. When they came down, let Ah Jing teach them what he had learned, so that Ah Jing could not only review the knowledge he had mastered and his understanding of knowledge, but also relieve Chen Qi from having to repeat what he had learned over and over again every time. , It's killing two birds with one stone. Seeing that A Jing was still teaching well, Chen Qi handed over all the work of teaching others to A Jing, and he was responsible for teaching A Jing and A Ze.
"Let's pull the noodles." After arranging what Ah Jing was going to learn today, Chen Qi went to the storage room to take out the last half bag of rice berry powder.
Carlo started, and Chen Qi first poured a small half of the rice berry powder for Carlo to knead into a dough and put it aside to wake up, while he took a few joints of porpoise keel and boiled bone soup.
After the soup was boiled, he went to get some marinated antelope meat and cut it into cubes for later use. Chen Qi also went to the storage room and took out a few large cabbages. In a pottery dish.
There were about a dozen potatoes left. Chen Qi took a few and peeled them and cut them into thin slices for later use. Then he cut two large pieces of the thawed dragon meat that he brought in early in the morning and cut them into thin slices. Large pottery dish. After processing the materials, he saw that the dough had been proofed for a while, so Chen Qi rolled it out with a rolling pin, then divided it into three parts and put it aside, planning to proof it for a while.
Carlo had already dealt with Jiang Cong, and moved to Chen Qi's side to see what he did.
Chen Qixian added a few tablespoons of fish oil to the pottery dish. The oil was freshly fried yesterday. There is a fish that looks like a mackerel and is bigger than the crucian carp caught before. This fish has a lot of fat. The oil from frying the fish is enough for them to use for a long time. When Azhang often went to catch fish, he would find one of this kind of fish. Now there are two large plates of oil stored at home.
After the oil is boiled, first put the diced antelope meat into it and stir-fry until it smells fragrant, then add the chopped ginger and onion, then add a small half plate of water, and put a small handful of rice berry powder inside , Stir-fried evenly, added some sugar and simmered for a while, until it became thick and then removed from the fire.
Chen Qixian dipped a little bit to taste the taste, and Carlo also dipped a bit when he saw it, "What is this?"
"Meat sauce." Because of the limited materials, Chen Qi could only make it so simply, and felt that the taste was good, so he started to process the dough.
Roll out the dough with a rolling pin, and cut a few times with a sword-corner knife. Chen Qi wants to try pulling the dough into strips as he saw in ramen shops before. Rotten, several times the dough was broken in half, there was no way, Chen Qi could only use the most stupid method, cut the rolled dough into strips with a sword corner knife, and then cut the dough into strips Boil it in boiling water.
After the noodles are cooked, put them into a pottery bowl, add a little cooked bone broth into it, and then scoop up a spoonful of the meat sauce just made, mix it evenly with chopsticks and divide it into pieces, let Carlo and Ajing Taste it too.
Carlo took a sip. The noodles were smoother than the meat he ate before, and he swallowed them after two swipes. "It's better than stew, but not as good as croquettes." Carlo commented.
Chen Qi gave him a white look. As long as the orcs were not interested in meat, Chen Qi had long been used to it, so he didn't dare to make too much, so as not to waste it.
Carefully holding the pottery bowl, Chen Qi took a deep breath of the noodle fragrance. If the pancakes before were considered half of the staple food, then this small bowl of noodles is the real staple food. It seems that Chen Qi has been here for more than half a year. The orthographic character used to record the time before has been written on the second stroke of the sixth one, and the porridge he has cooked with rice berries for so long is, to be precise, a paste. Although it has a little rice fragrance, it is not real after all. Rice, but this shaped noodles are real noodles.
As if holding some kind of treasure, Chen Qi solemnly took a mouthful, savored it in his mouth carefully before swallowing it. Although the taste was very ordinary, it had already moved Chen Qi so much that tears filled his eyes, causing Carlo to be bewildered eyes.
The ingredients for lunch were prepared early in the morning. After finishing the small bowl of noodles with a little meat sauce, Chen Qi sent Ah Jing to call the others to come back for dinner. The rest of the dough was the same as before. Cut it with a sword corner knife, add a little salt to the boiled bone soup, and then put a big spoonful of meat sauce in everyone's ceramic bowl, and plan to eat hot pot at noon.
The leftover noodles just boiled two big bowls. As Chen Qi expected, the reaction of the others was similar to that of Carlo, that is, they were not interested in the taste, but put the thinly sliced dragon meat in the bone broth It tastes inexplicably delicious after being brushed and dipped in meat sauce. The big plate of meat was not satisfying after eating. Ake even ran to cut another plate and came back. Chen Qi took a large bowl of noodles by himself, and ate it happily.
Azhang followed the locust dragon group for a full week. After the giant wolf god left, the locust dragon group continued on the road. For the rest of the day, they walked almost day and night. Azhang found that the locust dragon group was advancing. The direction was getting closer and closer to the lion and wolf tribe, so he quietly broke away from the tracking that morning and rushed to the lion and wolf tribe to report the news. If the target of the locust dragon was the lion and wolf tribe, and they did not take precautions in advance, it would be troublesome.
Today, the females of the Lion Wolf Tribe guarding outside turned out to be Ah Xu and A Le. They were very surprised to see the dusty Azhang, "Why did you come here? Did something happen?"
Azhang lifted his hood and shook his head, "I came with the locust dragons. They may come here tomorrow. I'm here to inform you."
"A locust dragon again?" A Le exclaimed.
Ah Xu glared at him, then turned to A Zhang and said, "Let's talk to the clan leader of the Lion Wolf Tribe about this first."
Azhang nodded, leaving Ale to continue to be vigilant, and followed Axu into the lion and wolf tribe.
Three days after Azhang left, Ali began to worry, and even extended the guard time a lot. Every day, he sat by the outermost wall and looked at the direction Azhang left, hoping that the other party would come back soon.
It was useless for Aze and others to persuade him not to worry a few times, "Let him guard, you will not feel at ease if you let him go home and stay with him, it would be better to stay on the fence and guard." Chen Qi comforted the worried people, "You have worked hard during this period, so take advantage of Ali's alert time to rest more, so that even if something happens, you can take care of it."
"There are so many things, Chen Qi, don't say those bad things." Carlo muttered, just the hyena dragon attack and the locust dragon crossing the border are already terrible, he doesn't want to see other dragons I also ran here for a walk when I had nothing to do.
Before Carlo could finish his thoughts, suddenly there was a loud wolf howl from outside, and the faces of several people froze. Aze and Ake pushed the door out the moment they heard the sound.
Chen Qi picked up the wooden bow hanging on the wall, and put the animal skin backpack full of arrows on his back, "Carol, take care of these little ones, I'll go out and have a look."
As soon as Carlo put A Yao back on the small wooden bed, before he had time to tell Chen Qi to ask him to help, he saw Chen Qi's figure had disappeared behind the door.
Chen Qi quickly climbed up the wall, seeing the three females with serious faces, you looked outside and hurried over, "What happened?"
Aze raised his finger and pointed outside, and explained: "The antelope dragon group has come to the plain."
"..."
Chen Qi looked intently, and sure enough, he saw a group of mighty antelopes walking forward not far away. Their direction was not here, so they could only see a side view from a distance.
The speed of the antelope dragon group is much faster than that of the locust dragons, almost trotting forward. The juvenile antelope dragons are tightly guarded in the middle of the team, and the strong adult male antelope dragons form an offensive and defensive formation on the periphery. posture. When will this creature, known as the king of speed in the Loya Forest, be able to act in groups
Chen Qi looked at the group of antelope dragons that were getting farther and farther away, and was silent for a while, "If I remember correctly, they are almost solitary dragons just like locust dragons."
The three females looked at each other and nodded slightly.
