Su Ce told Tantu in this way, and he had to say that the males are all good craftsmen, and Tantu also has talent in this area. With his strength, he easily got a few stones and began to cut them according to Su Ce's instructions.
The debris of the stone fell down, Su Ce looked at the gradually formed millstone, and was also a little surprised.
In some aspects, the orcs really have unique talents. If all tools can be made so easily, then is it true that most of their strength is used to resist foreign enemies...
Soon, Tan Tu came over with two millstones in his arms to claim credit.
Su Ce smiled, pulled Tan Tu's neck down, and touched him on the face.
Tantu's eyes lit up: "A Ce, A Ce, is this all right? Shall we try?"
Under Su Ce's signal, Tan Tu stood up the millstone for him to see.
Su Ce observed carefully for a while, then recalled, and said, "Here..." He pointed to a place about five or six centimeters away from the edge, "... Dig a hole." Then he compared the size with his hands.
Tantu made a hole quite readily, and it was polished with a strange iron tool, and it was almost round.
Su Ce pointed to the smooth place between the two grinding discs again, and asked to make some notches, and Tan Tu did as well, and stacked the grinding discs one on top of the other—it looked like that.
It's just that there is still something wrong...
Tantu looked at this weird thing and blinked: "Ah Ce, how do I use it?"
Su Ce tried hard to think back—as an office worker, he only had the simplest understanding of the concept and appearance of the tools commonly used in the countryside, and he probably couldn't do anything else either.
After hearing Tantu's question, he said, "Put the top grains of millet into this round hole, and turn it... yes, turn it."
Su Ce finally remembered something was wrong. Although the millstone had been docked, it would be very inconvenient to turn it, as if... there should be a handle.
The handle does not use a stone pillar. After all, if the stone material is not good, it will be a little brittle, and many woods in this world are very strong. Tantu whittled a log and made it into a long stick with the thickness of an arm. The other side of the grinding disc is newly drilled into the cylindrical hole that goes straight through the entire disc surface.
That's how it looks.
It's a pity that the millstone on top fell off just as Tantu tried to push it.
Tan Tu looked back at Su Ce with an innocent face: "A Ce..."
Su Ce sighed. Tantu had great strength, and it seemed that he had to do something else.
How can we keep the millstone from falling off... If only he had studied the structure of stone mills before. But he never knew before that even taking a hot spring will come to another world...
I can only try it myself, anyway, just don't fall off.
Su Ce thought for a while, and used a branch to draw a line on the lower grinding disc, and then drew another line, about two centimeters wide, and asked Tantu to dig out a ten-centimeter groove. The upper grinding disc, because it had to fit This kind of structure can only be redone... Fortunately, it is not too troublesome for Tantu, so he did it in a short time. There are four more round "feet" than before, which can just fit into the groove.
Then he said, "Tantu, let's try again."
This time the chain was not dropped.
However, the inside is not smooth enough, and needs to be further polished, but these are all small details, so you don't need to pay too much attention.
When the stone mill was completely finished, Su Ce put it in a large dustpan, and then poured some of the millet particles that had been collected together into the round hole on the top of the stone mill. Pull it hard—after driving the stone mill for a few laps, fine and broken things began to fall out around the millstone, all of which were leaked into the dustpan.
Tantu was also very happy to see the results. He started exercising more happily. When he ran around the stone mill, it was like a gust of wind, which made Su Ce dizzy.
With such a fierce speed, about two hours later, all the particles were finished. Tantu squatted down, grabbed a handful with his hands, and shouted: "A Ce, A Ce, it's really better than just hitting it with a stone." Fine!"
Su Ce also crushed it with his hands... Actually it wasn't enough.
"Tantu, you can grind it into flour." He said, "Pack up the contents of the dustpan, and start over again." Anyway, even if you don't do it well once, it will always get finer and finer if you do it a few times of.
Tan Tu nodded immediately: "Okay." Although he didn't know what "noodles" were.
So for the rest of the time, Tan Tu spent the same process over and over again. Su Ce stayed with him for a while, looked at the timing funnel next to him, looked at the sky, stood up and went to the kitchen.
It's time to cook... Tantu is so tired today, so let's reward him by cooking something more.
Su Ce thought about Tan Tu's possible expression, and the light in his eyes softened a lot.
Tantu always eats in pots, so first come a pot of sliced chili meat, then two pots of fungus slices, stir-fry two pots of fat and tender wild vegetables, and then boil a big pot of mushroom and egg soup—by a certain person on the tree. Strange eggs from some bird's nest—but surprisingly delicious. Finally, there are two large pots of boiled meat, which should also be taken out and sliced after being cooked, and mixed with condiments after half-cooling, and another flavor of oiled vegetables should be added in the middle, which looks very good.
Tantu's nose twitched when the tangy aroma came, but Su Ce didn't say anything, so he continued to work despite his hunger, but the grunting from his stomach became louder and louder.
Su Ce's hands kept moving, but he was actually thinking about other things.
In this world—at least in this tribe, no one grows rice...that is, there is no rice to eat.
Although there is no problem now, Su Ce, as a person on earth, has become accustomed to eating rice, and suddenly he couldn't eat it, and he really missed it a little. Moreover, eating meat all the time is not good for the body... If there is rice, it should be able to adjust it.
There are two types of rice: rice and upland rice. Although there is a well in this tribe, there is also a clear water lake not far outside the tribe, but if it is to be turned into a paddy field... this is too big a project. Moreover, in this dangerous world, there is simply no manpower to keep an eye on them all the time. Therefore, rice must be given up, and we can only try upland rice.
Although the quality of upland rice is much worse than that of rice, it doesn't matter if it is completely uneaten.
The most urgent thing now is to find plants similar to upland rice... Su Ce considered that many plants he had seen on earth could find similar versions here, so rice should be able to do the same.
If you really can't, then you have to give up... Well, Su Ce actually understands that even if he finds rice and grows it alive, the pounded rice cannot be used as a staple food. The land he was allotted was only one or two acres, so it was not a problem to grow a little vegetables and millet, after all, these were also things that he ate occasionally. But if you really want to replace the staple food with rice... considering the terrible food intake of males, this is absolutely impossible.
There is simply not enough to eat...
Thinking about going up the mountain with Tantu to search for it in a few days, Su Ce finally made two pots of cold meat slices - Tantu especially likes the sweet and crisp feeling in the richness.
Su Ce also liked it very much. The stew and boiled meat I ate before tasted too bland...
It was time to fill the pots and wash them quickly, Su Ce yelled, "Tan Tu—go wash your hands, it's time to eat!"
Tan Tu had been listening to this with his ears pricked up outside. As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly ran to the wooden barrel in the yard to scoop up water to wash his hands. Because he smelled the smell he liked, he used some Wash it with the sap—it's absolutely clean now.
When Su Ce came out, he saw Tan Tu obediently sitting in front of the wooden table. Those golden eyes were chasing after him, and no matter how they looked inside, there was something coquettish about them. Su Ce held a heavy wooden basin with both hands, and put the meat full of meat in front of Tantu: "You eat first, I'll get the rest."
The cold dish was served first. Tantu widened his eyes and stretched out his hand impatiently—
So when Su Ce came out, what he saw was Tan Tu's hands full of grease, eating happily.
He smiled helplessly and brought up all the remaining dishes.
Of course, he didn't forget Tantu's chopsticks.
As a "female", Su Ce didn't have a big appetite. When he was in the kitchen, he had picked out some of each dish and put them in his own special bowl, and Tantu owned the rest.
However, seeing Tantu's supportive appearance really increased my appetite...
With both hands left and right, Tantu kept stuffing the cold meat slices into his mouth. He didn't know how to chew, but he didn't stop at all. The chopsticks were put aside and refused to be used. The big man quickly solved it with his hands After buying two pots, we have already started to move towards the third pot.
Su Ce knew that he was starving. The first time he saw Tan Tu's "heroic posture" eating, Su Ce was surprised for a while, and realized how much effort this guy had put in to not be so rude in front of him... Okay, He doesn't forcibly limit his companion instinct as an orc, but wash his hands before and after meals... this is absolutely unavoidable.
Finally, when there was only one pot of soup left, Tantu heaved a sigh of satisfaction, turned his gaze to Su Ce's direction, and said, "A Ce, there will be a festival in the tribe in a few days." He tilted his head up and poured everything into the basin, then burped.
