There is another occupation in the village called "gold diggers", who specialize in the manufacture of metal utensils. Recycling scrap metal utensils and mining are all within their occupational scope.
Because the orcs don't pay attention to fine beauty, and the strength of females is very small, so the gold diggers are all males, and the utensils they punch are used to exchange materials - males don't know how to farm and raise silkworms, so males In a family with males, in order to have more sources of income, there will be a clear division of labor. One of them hunted while the other formed a team of gold diggers with others to go up the mountain to dig, and when they came back, they sent them to their gathering place for grinding.
When Su Ce considered that dishes such as stewed meat and boiled meat would be boring, he proposed to his partner that he wanted a shallower and smaller pot.
What I want to say here is that the cauldron used to cook meat was very deep, and it was even similar to a water tank. If it was used to cook vegetables, it would definitely be inconvenient given Su Ce's height. What Su Ce wanted was the kind of frying pan that was always available in kitchens on earth.
For Su Ce's request, Tan Tu was of course omnipotent, and quickly went to find the best goldsmith in the tribe, and exchanged three bulls for an iron pot and two iron spoons with long handles. The one with the short handle, exactly as Su Ce requested.
Now that you have a pot, you need a stove. Tan Tu made a simple version. After getting used to it for a while, Su Ce finally managed to use it, but the thick smoke when the oil ignited couldn't disperse in the room. As a last resort, In the end, it was decided to place the stove in the yard.
After everything was ready, Su Ce made a stir-fried sliced pork that night. Of course, he fried three big pots to make Tan Tu feel happy. As for the other dishes... Su Ce actually only knew a few. It's a very simple home-cooked dish, just a change of taste for two people, and he can't cook those that require a higher heat.
Besides, his life has also started to get busy, and he has no time to spend on researching dishes.
As a "female" must master skills, Su Ce also had to master them all... such as farming.
After returning from the mountain, Su Ce, accompanied by Tantu, went to his land. Because he was a newcomer to the tribe, his allocation was close to the edge. Several females Su Ce knew gave him seeds, and he chose to grow white radish and millet grains—in fact, in his opinion, they were white radishes and millet.
Farming is actually not difficult, as long as you care enough about the land, as for farming before... If you can't do it yourself, there are still males! It's not that the female is lazy or something, but if the male can do it in one day, it will take at least ten days for the female, which is too time-consuming.
After planting the seeds, Su Ce began to look around every day like the other females. The area of about two mu of land was not very difficult, and whether it was white radish or millet, they were relatively tenacious plants.
Su Ce, who was a vegetable, didn't plan to grow it, because he could ask Tantu to bring some back from the mountain every few days. Although the wild ones might not be as fat as those planted, they tasted more authentic.
In this way, the days passed without change, and it was two months in a blink of an eye. During this period of time, Su Ce had a deeper understanding of the situation in the tribe. He tried to learn how to raise silkworms, but found that his hands were still not delicate enough... But forget it. If you are too greedy, you may not be able to do other things well, so just concentrate on farming and cooking.
For Su Ce's approach, Tan Tu has a million supporters. Originally, he didn't want Su Ce to work hard on silkworm rearing, not to mention the hard work, and he had to go home late every day... He couldn't bear it.
The only thing that troubled Su Ce was Tantu's excessive demands every night... probably because of his uncontrollable animal nature, even if he was patient and careful at the beginning, he would definitely lose control later on. Although there was no problem with my body the next day, I had to be rubbed every night, and it was too much for me.
Compared to this, what made Su Ce happier was that his body seemed to have completely adapted to this world. Not only in his strength and the firmness of his teeth, which are now indistinguishable from other females, but also in his body's response. For example, after Su Ce and Tan Tu got married, every three to five days Su Ce always had tingling pain during the day and fever at night, but in the past half month, it disappeared at all, so it should be all right.
In a blink of an eye, it was time to harvest the crops.
The growth cycle of several crops here seems to be shorter than that on the earth, and the seasons in this world do not change too much, basically planting does not pay attention to seasons.
It takes about two months for white radishes to mature from planting to maturity, and the same is true for millet. If it is on the earth, they will not be ready for two months.
After lunch, Su Ce took Tantu to his land.
It happened that Mora was also there, and the vegetables he had planted had already matured, followed by several males carrying a tall basket for one person—a few months later, he was still so successful. The males who like him compete to perform in order to get his favor, and at the same time, he saves a lot of energy.
Most of Su Ce's seeds were given by Mo La, and the relationship between the two is not bad. Most people would not hate a casual and straightforward beautiful female like Mora.
So Su Ce nodded at him first: "Mola."
Mo La turned her head and smiled: "A Ce, you and Tan Tu are here to harvest?"
Su Ce said, "Yes."
Mo La looked at Su Ce's field and said, "The things in your house are growing well." Then she walked over, poked Su Ce's arm lightly, and asked softly, "Is that Tantu good to you?" Until now In the eyes of many females, Tantu is a model of incomprehensible style. Even in the neighboring tribes, he has gone from very popular to extremely unpopular, but he was able to bring a female back after walking around. , which made him a little curious. Why is his new friend willing to marry Tantu? Life after marriage doesn't seem to be bad...
Su Ce was stunned for a moment, not understanding why he asked such a question, but he nodded without hesitation: "Very good."
Mo La's eyes shifted to Tan Tu. This guy was standing beside Su Ce, with his arms around his shoulders, looking like a protector. He looked pretty good.
If it wasn't for the fact that everyone spread the rumors before, these two people are very suitable.
Mo La didn't continue to ask. Everyone was very busy during the harvest, so he waved to Su Ce and returned to his group of "flower" messengers. Then he said something with a smile, and the males rolled up their sleeves and happily went down to the ground, and began to dig up vegetables with the tools they carried.
Su Ce raised his head: "Tantu, let's go too."
Tan Tu blinked and kissed Su Ce on the forehead: "Okay."
Su Ce was not used to this kind of action at first, but Tantu likes to show intimacy like this, and Su Ce can't always turn a blind eye to Tantu's aggrieved expression—this can also be seen from the necessary activities every night, so In the end, he just let it go.
Generally speaking, a sickle is used for harvesting, because the curvature of the blade is more convenient... Well, in this world, a sickle is not called a sickle, but a "cutting millet knife", which is even scarier than what Su Ce has seen in pictures before. bigger. Tantu and Su Ce were divided into two sides. Su Ce pulled the radish, while Tantu cut the millet. The movements were quite swift.
Stronger people are always more pleasing. Su Ce only pulled up less than ten trees, but Tan Tu had already cut all the millet; when Su Ce pulled up the fifteenth tree, Tan Tu piled up all the millet. When Su Ce reached the twentieth tree, Tantu divided the millet into three teams and tied them tightly.
Su Ce was scraping away the soil from the edge of the twenty-second white radish, when a shadow loomed in front of his eyes.
He raised his head and saw Tantu's big smiling face: "A Ce, let me pull it out for you!"
Su Ce looked at the shirtless Tan Tu, felt a little lost about his physique, nodded and smiled—he gradually learned this—and said, "Okay."
After finishing all these tasks, Su Ce carried a basket full of white radishes, while Tan Tu carried the three piles of millet on his shoulders, supported them with one hand, and held a bulging bag with the other hand. The white radish in the big animal skin bag - it doesn't look like it's struggling at all. It gave Su Ce a better understanding of the inexhaustible power of males.
After returning home, Su Ce piled all the white radishes into a cooler corner of the kitchen, and the millet, of course, had to be dealt with.
Su Ce didn't receive such an education when he was on Earth—it would be good if he could recognize a few common crops, but he couldn't figure out what to do after harvesting.
Fortunately, Tantu knew about it.
Of course, the grains on the top of the millet must be smoothed out. After being smoothed out, they must be placed in a stone trough and crushed out with a stone pestle... This is also the job of the male.
Su Ce sat next to him and watched Tantu busy with interest. He thought it was funny when he first shed his shell, but when he watched it, he felt rough.
Because the finished product that appeared at the beginning was simply something like a paste...
Su Ce asked, "Tantu, what do you want to eat after making this?"
It was only then that Tan Tu remembered that he had been eating Su Ce's stir-fried vegetables for the past two months, and he hadn't even made millet cakes for him to taste. The pieces are flattened, and when dried, they become millet cakes. Then we all baked them on stones and ate them... ”
Su Ce looked at the yellow paste that was indistinguishable from the shell and the inside, and remembered the yellow cake that he saw at the market at the first time, and suddenly matched the number... That was millet cake.
However, such millet cakes are too bad...
Thinking of this, Su Ce said, "Tan Tu, don't you use stone mills here?" He remembered that people used to use stone mills to grind flour, so this should be the same.
But Tan Tu was a little confused: "A Ce, what is a stone mill?"
... Su Ce is not very clear about the principle of the stone mill. It is said that it is the thing where two stone plates are connected. Su Ce tried hard to think back, and only thought that there were holes in the inside, flour could leak out, and there were probably some unevenness between the stone plates? Anyway, if you have this, if it's still not very fine, the mixture is better...
