"Carlo, the cabbage in the stuffing can't be less." Chen Qi reminded the people who were making lunch without looking up.
"Obviously there isn't much cabbage left." Carlo muttered, and obediently added the freshly mashed antelope meat mince to half of the plate of chopped cabbage.
Recently, Chen Qi didn't know what he was tinkering with, and the task of cooking fell on Carlo's head every day. Whenever Carlo saw those yellow and green vegetables, he felt stomach ache, and he didn't understand why Chen Qi wanted to Eat, obviously there is still a lot of meat stored at home, but fortunately Chen Qi only forced Ah Jing to eat a certain amount of vegetables every day, in the name of nutrition balance, but for several adults who want to eat No matter what. Anyway, Carlo didn't understand, so he had to chop up the cabbage and mix it with the meat every time he cooked. After all, if he fried the cabbage directly, he didn't want to eat a single leaf.
Chen Qi was grinding a wooden ball with a millstone. The wooden ball was about the size of a baseball. After wiping off the debris on the wooden ball, Chen Qi waved to the little wolf cub, "Little wolf, come here."
The size of the little wolf cub has almost grown to three or four times the size when he was just picked up, and his hair is soft and fluffy. The little wolf cub is very active at this age, running around the house every day, without Ah Jing accompanying Ah Jing, he will not let the little wolf cub play in the yard, after all, everyone is very concerned about the hyena dragon attack last time There are still shadows, if you want to go to the yard, at least two people must be together.
So even now Chen Qi still insists on going to the yard for running and exercising. Apart from Ah Jing and the little wolf cub, there is also Carlo with a wooden bow on his back. Whenever Carlo goes out now, the wooden bow must be carried on his back. body. Daily archery practice has also made Carlo's archery better and better. Although the destructive power is not as good as that of the females, he is the best among them in terms of accuracy. Therefore, Carlo's love for bows and arrows has become stronger and stronger.
Chen Qi put the wooden ball on the ground and rolled it towards the direction where the little wolf cub was running. The little wolf cub seemed to be very curious about this moving thing. When the wooden ball rolled over, he avoided it vigilantly, and when it stopped, he walked over cautiously, but he didn't dare to touch it right away. He just stood not far away. Watching quietly nearby.
Chen Qi walked over, picked up the wooden ball and rolled it again. The wooden ball was not big, and the ground was covered with animal skins to keep out the cold, so the wooden ball did not roll far. Grab it with one paw, trying to stop the wooden ball, but the wooden ball that was about to stop rolled forward again.
Chen Qi watched the little wolf cub chasing and playing with the wooden ball amusedly, completely unaware that he seemed to raise a wolf cub as a cat.
Ali, who had just entered the room after changing posts with Ake, opened the door and asked impatiently, "Chen Qi, are the boxes from before ready?"
"It's done." Chen Qi let the little wolf cub play by himself, and went back to the room to move out a large wooden box half a meter high. The surrounding area of the wooden box was painted a slightly dull red with dyed fruit, and there were some patterns painted on the whole body. Common flowers and plants, like a few willow trees painted on both sides, and some thistle-like patterns dotted on the front, because it is painted with brown dyed fruit, the patterns are not obvious, but the box looks surprisingly delicate.
The box has two layers of drawers. Chen Qi polished the stretched joints very smooth, and coated the surface with a thin layer of glue and fruit juice. With a light pull, the drawers will be pulled out.
It was the first time Ali saw such an exquisite wooden box, and he couldn't put it down. Even Carlo, who was cooking, couldn't help but came over to watch, "Chen Qi, when did you make such a thing?"
"I don't have anything to do these days, so I tried to fix it." Chen Qi smiled. In fact, this wooden box is still a little rough. After all, those wooden boxes Chen Qi made before were roughly tied with ropes. Together or stick firmly with glue, the only one that is made with more care is probably the big tub in the bathroom.
"Do you want to give me such a beautiful thing?" A Li asked incredulously, sweeping away the previous melancholy.
"Well, of course, this is my wedding gift for you and Azhang." When A Li came to him to ask him about how to make a bone ring before, Chen Qi thought about what to give him. The wooden cabinet wanted to make a good set of furniture, and only then did this wooden box appear. This wooden box is still a test product to be precise.
Chen Qi has already planned to spend his whole life here. He hopes to make his life more refined and comfortable. Even though he has already left the civilized society, he doesn't want his life to be separated from civilization. Those things follow him quickly. For thirty years, Chen Qi didn't want to give up something that was almost fused into his blood. The existence of that knowledge can also make the life of the orcs here better. These are the questions that Chen Qi has been thinking about during this time.
Of course, it is not an easy task to present the things of this world in this world. Fortunately, he has plenty of time now, and the people who live in the lion and wolf tribe will come back after the winter. Of course, Chen Qi does not want to They still live in messy houses like before, and there are many people who can't hunt among them. In Chen Qi's world, people can survive even if they don't have the ability to hunt. He hopes to find some of them for these people. The work they can do, they can exchange what they make for enough food for them to live on.
"Thank you." Ali thanked gratefully, "Chen Qi, can you teach me how to make this kind of wooden box?"
"Of course." Chen Qi originally planned to give these things to Ali first, and it would be better for Ali to teach other tribesmen in the future. "There are many styles of this kind of wooden box. After you learn how to do it, you can make a variety of different wooden boxes."
"Chen Qi, can I learn it?" Carlo also likes this beautiful wooden box, if he can make one, he can put things for A Yao, and it must look good in the room.
Chen Qi nodded, "There are not many woods suitable for use at home now, but you can make some smaller ones first, and then you can make bigger boxes when you learn it." The orcs here are not easy to diverge when thinking about things. To think about it, Chen Qi had to guide them step by step before they could think of other ways, otherwise I was afraid that what these two people made would at most be exactly the same as his own.
Thinking of learning a new skill, Carlo's cooking became much more brisk. Ah Jing, who was doing his homework, just looked up at the adults who suddenly had a heated discussion. He was not interested in carpentry. Or Chen Qi's story written in words is more interesting.
The little wolf cub nestled in the corner and kept pawing and pulling the wooden ball with his paws, having a great time playing.
On the vast snowy field, two figures who were walking quickly stopped suddenly, Aze picked up a feather that was still smoking white and handed it to Azhang, "There have also been letter eagles here, it seems that they haven't been away for long .”
Azhang's already tired complexion became even more serious, "Xinying walked in the same direction as our house, and I was worried that Hyena would go that way."
Aze was also worried, but seeing Azhang's increasingly pale face, he still suggested: "Let's take a rest before we go on our way." They have not stopped since they left the lion and wolf tribe, especially since yesterday. After discovering the footprints of Xinying in the evening, he was even more anxious, and drove all night, but Azhang had been busy day and night in the lion and wolf tribe in order to go home early, and now he will barely go on. The body will not be able to hold on.
Azhang also knew his own situation. If he forced his way, even if he encountered a hyena dragon when he went back, he might be a hindrance. He might as well raise his spirits and walk faster.
Azhang smiled apologetically at Aze, "Then let's eat something before leaving, I'm going to be so hungry that I won't have any energy for a day and a night."
Ze nodded, and the two planned to find a locust tree as a place to rest.
Suddenly, Azeri grabbed Azhang's sleeve, "Wait a minute."
"What's wrong?" Azhang looked back at him suspiciously.
"There are a few small snowdrifts ahead, I haven't seen them when I came here." Aze pointed to the front, surrounded by footprints trampled by the antelope dragon and locust dragon, and it was impossible to tell what other animals were there been here before. But Aze's memory is very good. He obviously didn't have this thing when he passed by before. There was no snow in the past two days. Now there are too many strange things happening on the plain, so Aze has to pay more attention.
The two of them didn't go further into the snowdrift, but planned to take a detour to the locust tree not far away, but just as they were about to turn around, several silver figures rushed out of the snowdrift and rushed straight at the snowdrift. Two people go.
The two of them had been prepared for a long time, and when they realized that something was wrong, they quickly retreated and distanced themselves from those figures.
A Ze stared intently, his pupils shrank slightly, his muscles tensed up, his footsteps moved back slightly, and he was ready to escape at any time.
It was the hyena dragon that attacked the two of them, not one or two, but ten or twenty. The hyena dragon that jumped out first was standing not far from the two of them, and the deep cold and greedy eyes were closely watching the movements of the two of them. , and the hyena dragons that hadn't had time to appear in the snowdrift behind also climbed up one after another.
The hearts of both of them sank. They might be able to cope with one or two heads, but now there are ten or twenty heads, even if there are a few more of them, the chances of surviving are not very high.
Aze's eyes darkened, but how could he admit defeat at this time, his Chen Qi was still at home waiting for him to go back.
