MTL - I Have a System of Orcs-~ Chapter 27
The lack of salt is a big problem, too much salt is not good, but you have to eat it, so when he got up the next morning, Wei Changcheng went straight to Boris' cave, and decided to wash his face after solving the salt problem.
"Eh? Daniel, you came early!" Seeing Daniel sitting in Boris' cave, Wei Changcheng couldn't help sighing, before Daniel could speak, Wei Changcheng continued, "Daniel, are you How do you add salt?"
Daniel suddenly realized that this was what he felt wrong yesterday!
"I actually forgot about this!" Daniel annoyed, "We males usually eat raw food directly when we go out hunting, and can supplement salt from raw food, but females are different, they will lick something to supplement salt, but it is very difficult It's just unpalatable."
Wei Changcheng was a little curious: "Lick something? What is it?"
Daniel turned to Boris and asked, "Boris, do you have any here?"
Boris looked disgusted: "Yes, that kind of thing is really unpalatable." After saying that, he got up and went to get it. Boris is
Wei Changcheng looked at the things Boris took out, and his face showed surprise: "Isn't this just salt! It should be that kind of coarse salt, I don't know, but it is edible."
"Yes, of course you can eat it." Boris still had an expression of wanting to throw up, "but it's really unpalatable."
Is the salt unpalatable? A bad premonition flashed across Wei Chang's mind, and he asked softly, "How do you eat this thing?"
"Of course it was licked directly, but no one would eat it directly."
Wei Changcheng was about to cry, indeed, no one would eat salt directly, but no one would lick it directly, hey!
Daniel took the salt block from Boris's hand and handed it to Wei Changcheng: "Xiaocheng, you can lick it too, or do you want to eat raw food? If you want to eat raw food, I will catch it for you now."
Wei Changcheng gritted his teeth: "I don't want to lick salt, and I don't want to eat raw food!"
"Then what should we do?" Daniel hesitated, "Xiao Cheng, be good, you can't do without eating."
Wei Changcheng rolled his eyes, please, this salt block is covered with Boris' saliva! It's disgusting enough! I don't want to eat it myself: "Daniel, where did you pick up these salt cubes?"
"Not far away, the top of the south mountain is covered with this kind of salt block."
"Then you go and pick up another piece for me." Wei Changcheng ordered Daniel rudely, and pointed to the salt block that Daniel was still holding in his hand, "Just throw this away."
Boris couldn't help saying: "Hey, that's my salt block!"
Wei Changcheng squinted his eyes at Boris, and said in a sinister tone, "Are you sure you want to stay?"
Boris stepped back, forget it, forget it, anyway, there are a lot of things like salt blocks, just find another one when you find time: "Then, that, just throw it away."
Satisfied, Wei Changcheng gave Daniel a sideways glance: "Aren't you going?"
Daniel ran away and disappeared. Wei Changcheng thought for a while, got up and left the cave, found a sharp stone at one end, ran to the river to wash it several times, and when he returned to the cave, Daniel had already taken the salt Chunk went back to the cave.
Wei Changcheng took the salt block from Daniel, sat in front of the stone pot that was about to boil, scraped the salt block with the stone he just picked up, and the powdered salt fell into the stone pot. Feeling that it was almost done, Wei Changcheng put the salt block on the table: "Okay, let's try the broth now."
Daniel and Boris looked at each other, and they picked up stone spoons to drink the broth at the same time. After taking a sip, they had a meal first, and then started the competition.
"Hey, hey, hey! I have to save some!" Wei Changcheng squeezed Daniel away, reached into the stone pot with a stone spoon in one hand, and blocked Boris' hand from heading towards the stone pot with the other hand. Wei Changcheng stood silently behind him for a while, then dragged Boris up.
Wei Changcheng is happy, this time the broth is his own! Sure enough, the broth with salt is still delicious, Wei Changcheng sighed, how could he forget such an important thing as salt after he has been here for so long?
Seeing Boris and Daniel looking at him pitifully, Wei Changcheng also felt that he could not go too far, so he pointed to the salt block on the table: "Hey, you can also put it when you barbecue, like Just like I did just now, put it in a circle, don’t sprinkle it all in one place, don’t put too much, or it won’t taste good.”
After hearing Wei Changcheng's words, Boris took the lead. Looking at Boris's unusually slow movements (psychological factors), Daniel secretly resented why he didn't pick up two more yuan just now!
When the barbecue over there was almost done, Wei Changcheng drank all the broth, licked his lips, Wei Changcheng picked up a skewer of barbecue and ate it without guilt: "Well, it's really good, the salt is just right. "
Daniel took the stone pot to fill the water, well, cook another pot of broth with salt!
Without exception, the three of Wei Changcheng were fed up today. The three of them were lying on the ground touching their chubby bellies, and squinted their eyes happily.
"Daniel? David?"
It wasn't until a person yelled outside the cave that the three of them suddenly remembered that there was still something to do today. The three of them got up and went out to see that it was Allen. Seeing the three of Wei Changcheng coming out, Allen rushed over and complained, "What are you doing? We've been waiting outside for a long time."
All three of them smiled awkwardly, or Wei Changcheng thought of how to eat salt just now, and hurriedly said to Alan: "Ailun, do you have salt cubes there?"
Allen was taken aback for a moment, not knowing why he suddenly got to the salt block, but he still nodded, indicating that he had it there.
"Alan, let me tell you, the salt block is not eaten that way. You have to grind the salt block into powder and add it to the broth or barbecue. This is delicious. You can't eat the salt block directly."
"Huh? Is that so?" Alan asked in surprise, "Then I'll try it tonight."
Daniel, who was standing on the side, thought for a while and said, "Do you want to tell everyone?"
Wei Changcheng nodded: "There are also males who should stop eating raw food. Although males are strong and rarely get sick, some diseases in animals can still be transmitted to males. The meat should be cooked before eating."
Daniel nodded in agreement, and then walked up to everyone and told about the salt block. Everyone's face was full of surprise and curiosity, and they wanted to go back and try it right away.
After Daniel finished speaking, he returned to Wei Changcheng. The females over there were already heading towards the place where the tree was cut yesterday under the protection of the males, and Alan followed.
"On weekdays, there are 500 males who go hunting, 300 males are responsible for patrolling, and 100 males are resident in the tribe. Before my father left today, he was afraid that you would need manpower, so he only took 400 males. One hundred people will be allocated from the patrol team, and fifty people will be allocated to you from the resident, that is to say, a total of two hundred and five males can follow us." Daniel said slowly, "The people who stay in the tribe are old, weak and sick. The disabled, as well as the doctor, the remaining 50 males are enough. The patrol team has narrowed down the scope of the patrol, mainly patrolling around the females. It’s okay to have a smaller number. Xiaocheng, how do you think these two people should be arranged? A hundred and fifty males?"
Wei Changcheng pondered for a moment, and said decisively: "Divide the males into two groups, one part is 200, the other part is 50, the 50 will follow me, and the remaining 200 will be responsible for protecting the females." He added, "Today The task is to make the tables and chairs. Daniel and Roy both know how to make a wooden bed, so Daniel and Roy are responsible for teaching the females how to make a wooden bed. Boris and I took fifty males to make it. Fence."
"What's a fence?" asked Boris.
"Well, it is to build a barrier with wood between the farmland and the forest to separate the farmland from the forest, and in the future, the males can patrol around the fence, and the range is smaller."
"Is it made of wood? Will it be weak? It's not very useful." Boris said again.
Wei Changcheng thought about the strength of the males, then thought about the wild animals he met along the way with Daniel, and said: "It's not too strong, but it's still useful. After the farmland is reclaimed, the females It is necessary to work in the farmland, so the farmland closest to the forest is in danger, and with the fence, at least it can be defended for a period of time."
In fact, Wei Changcheng still wanted to build a trap outside the fence, but after thinking about it, let's put it down first. There is no rush about the trap now. The reason why Wei Changcheng has this idea is because he hasn't realized what the dangers that orcs always talk about are. In Wei Changcheng's view, these dangers are nothing more than for females. Animals are dangerous, so females must be absolutely protected. In the days to come, Wei Changcheng realized that this kind of thinking was a big mistake.
Boris nodded, acquiescing to Wei Changcheng's statement.
Daniel glanced at Boris and said, "Xiaocheng, let me go with you to get the fence, and let Boris go to the females."
Wei Changcheng directly refused: "No, besides me, you and Roy know how to make a wooden bed. Uncle Boris doesn't know how to do it. You and Roy will teach it together, so that the speed can be accelerated."
Daniel wanted to say something more, but Wei Changcheng didn't give Daniel a chance to speak, and pulled Boris out of the tribe quickly—it is said that after eating salt, his body felt full of strength in an instant!
Daniel shook his head helplessly, and quickly ran a few steps to follow behind Wei Changcheng and Boris.
When they got to the place where the females were making tables and chairs, Wei Changcheng first found Roy, told Roy about the wooden bed, and then found fifty males, and Boris took them to the place. Went to fix the fence.
"Yo, our number one warrior has been abandoned?" Allen walked to Daniel's side, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone.
Daniel glanced at Allen, walked straight towards Roy without saying a word.
Allen stared at Daniel's back, raised his eyebrows, and returned to his place to continue making tables and chairs.
