Chapter 917 I Don’t Know the Autumn Moon and the Spring Breeze (5,000 Words Long Chapter)
Xia Chujian remembered that she still needed a cutting board and a rice bowl, so she cut a few more pieces of Langgan Qingbi.
Intended to be made into cutting boards and dishes.
After returning to the Imperial House with several pieces of Langgan Qingbi, Xia Chujian went to the mountain behind the Imperial House.
It is a hill rich in stone pottery.
Xia Chujian didn't know what stone pottery was, but after she dug out a piece, she understood what Qilu meant.
It turns out that the mountain is rich in clay.
The mountain is hollow, like a natural furnace.
I don't know what kind of fire it was inside, but it kept burning, but it didn't burn through the mountain. It only burned all the clay on the mountain into pottery.
But this kind of pottery is not like the kind made by humans, with various patterns and decorations.
These are all naturally fired, and if there are lines, they are formed naturally.
Qi Lu calls it "Shi Tao".
Xia Chujian dug out two pieces, and then hollowed out the middle to become two deep pots.
One can be hung on the beam of the imperial house and used for stewing.
The other can be placed over the fire and used to cook fried food.
When he went back, Xia Chujian saw a clump of green bamboo, so he simply cut down a thin bamboo and dragged it back to make bamboo chopsticks.
Everything was moved into the imperial house, and Xia Chujian began to decorate this small wooden house that was created by nature.
A long rope made of tree bark hangs in the center of the house, and a deep stone pottery pot hangs from the lower end of the long rope.
Underneath the deep pot was a fire pit surrounded by stones by Xia Chujian.
There were piles of hay and tree sticks that Qilu had pointed her to pick up.
Qilu said that these things are very resistant to burning.
With such a pile, it is not a problem to burn it for seven days and seven nights.
Next to the fire pit, stones were used to build two small stoves on both sides of the hanging stove.
On the small stove on the left, Langgan Qingbi is stacked directly on top. When heated, you can make stir-fries or pancakes.
On the small stove on the right, there is another deep stone pottery pot used for frying.
There was a peeled tree trunk lying on the wall near the door of the imperial house.
This is a big tree called "Danmu" that Xia Chujian was cut down by Qilu.
Qilu said that this kind of tree can prevent fire and is especially suitable for making furniture.
Xia Chujian used this tree to make a long table two meters long and one meter wide.
When preparing dishes, you can use it here as a chopping board.
Of course the bamboo she chopped can't just be made into chopsticks.
She cut the remaining bamboo into strips and, under Qilu's guidance, weaved several bamboo baskets, baskets, and baskets.
There were still pieces of thin strips left, and Qilu even taught Xia Chujian to make a sun hat.
Of course the big cinnamon tree she cut back would not just be used as a long table.
The most important thing is to make a wooden bed.
It's just that there is no mattress, so it's hard to sleep on.
But it's better than sleeping on the ground.
With the remaining wooden boards, Xia Chujian made a door and placed it in the place where the straw curtain was hung in front of the imperial house.
Only then do I feel truly safe.
After everything was packed up, it was already dark outside.
Xia Chujian looked at everything in the room and suddenly wanted to laugh, and said, "Qilu, we have prepared the cooking utensils and tableware, but we have nothing to eat."
"I'm still so hungry..."
Qilu's childlike voice was a little embarrassed: "Master, it's Qilu's fault."
"Qilu has forgotten this."
It and Xia Chujian were busy talking all day long, immersed in the joy of cutting jade, digging stone pottery, and chopping redwood, and completely forgot to get some real food.
Xia Chujian opened the door and looked outside, and said, "It's not too late now, Qilu, where is the wild Zhu Yumi you mentioned? Is it far away?"
Qilu said: "It's not too far, maybe three miles away. Master, do you need some water?"
Xia Chujian slapped his forehead: "Yes, I need to get water!"
"Qilu, you are so smart! If it weren't for Qilu, I really don't know what I would do!"
When Xia Chu saw him, he praised Qi Lu, and he piled up his nice words without paying for them.
Qilu's childlike voice said happily: "Qilu is the most loyal subordinate of the master! Master, just leave everything to Qilu!"
Xia Chujian smiled and said, "Let's go out."
She was carrying a bucket made of red wood and a bamboo tube on her back, intending to fill it with water.
She planned to use the water in the bucket to wash herself.
The water in the bamboo tube is of course used for drinking and cooking.
She drove Shao Siming's black and silver mecha and quickly flew three miles away.
There is a mountain col with a small piece of flat land in the middle.
More than a dozen golden wild rice plants were only as high as her calf, but the rice they produced was also a foot long!
It was so heavy that the rice seeds almost collapsed.
When Xia Chu saw it, he hurriedly said: "These are already ripe. If you don't pick them, it will be a waste of natural resources."
So she picked all the thirty-six rice grains produced by the dozen wild rice plants.
She carries a fresh-keeping storage bag with her. A large fresh-keeping storage bag can hold all thirty-six one-foot-long rice grains.
But after putting it in, it seemed to contain thirty-six grown corns.
In this way, it can only be carried across the back and cannot be stuffed directly into the pocket.
Then go to the water pool under the previous waterfall to get drinking water.
Xia Chujian came to the pond and filled the bamboo tube with water amidst the roaring sound of the waterfall.
Then go to the back mountain, fill the bucket with water from the hot spring there, and then command the young commander to order the mecha and return to the Imperial House.
…
The fire in the imperial room was lit.
Suddenly there was light in the room, and warmth rose from the fire.
She didn't hunt today. She just washed a piece of rice, chopped it up, put it in a stone clay pot, filled it with water, and planned to cook it and eat it.
She took a few sips of the water in the bamboo tube and found that it was indeed no different from the pure water she drank at home.
The water in the bucket comes directly from the hot springs. It is quite hot and can be used to soak your feet.
After being busy all day, she felt that her feet were blistered.
But when soaking your feet, a bucket is not suitable.
So Xia Chujian went out all night to the stone pottery mountain in the back mountain, dug out a large piece of stone pottery, and made it into a pottery basin.
Using this clay basin, she can soak her feet smoothly.
By the time she finished soaking her feet, the pot of rice was also steamed.
Opening the lid, a scent of rice wafted out from the stone pottery pot.
Xia Chujian's stomach suddenly growled.
I didn't feel hungry before, but now when I smell the aroma of rice, Xia Chujian can't hold it anymore.
She quickly took a spoonful of it with a bamboo spoon and put it into her own bamboo bowl.
With the fragrance of bamboo, the small bowl of Zhuyu rice actually tasted very fragrant, soft and delicious.
There is nothing boring or dull about eating dry rice.
Of course, it could also be that she was just too hungry.
When you eat rice, it tastes delicious.
She ate a third of the Zhuyu rice in one go, and it was full to her throat.
Zhu Yumi is a carbohydrate, and blood sugar rises rapidly after eating it, making me feel sleepy at the beginning of summer.
She put Shao Siming's black silver mecha into Bianhua's necklace, fell on the wooden bed and fell asleep.
Although the wooden bed was very hard, she felt sleepier.
This obstacle is nothing.
…
The night is deeper.
It didn't rain tonight, so the forest outside wasn't that clean.
Soon, one after another, strangely shaped beasts came out of the darkness and surrounded the imperial house.
They looked at the imperial house coldly, with bloodthirsty and cruel light shining in their eyes.
Xia Chujian didn't know what was going on outside. Qilu was put into the Bianhua Necklace and couldn't feel what was happening outside.
But just when the group of strange beasts outside were about to rush in, a yellow light suddenly lit up in Xia Chujian's pocket.
The corona of light grew larger and larger, and soon seeped out from all the cracks in the imperial house, shining into the night sky outside the house.
As soon as the yellow corona came out, the group of strange beasts outside that were about to charge suddenly stopped.
Then they turned around with their tails between their legs and ran quickly into the thick night.
I was afraid that if I ran too slowly, I would be caught by the yellow light.
And the yellow light crown only shone for a moment, then quickly withdrew, and stayed in Xia Chujian's pocket.
At the beginning of summer, I slept in my clothes, unaware of the autumn moon and spring breeze.
…
When she woke up the next day, Xia Chujian had no intention of going out and running around. She stayed in the forest to recuperate.
In the morning, I went to the pool next to the waterfall to get some drinking water in bamboo tubes, and then I went to the hot spring in the back mountain and came back with a bucket of hot water.
She took a good bath in the cabin.
He also washed all his clothes, leaving only his body armor, and released Shao Siming's black and silver mecha directly outside.
After getting comfortable, Xia Chu asked Qilu: "Qilu, do we want to go hunting?"
"If I want to replenish my body, I have to eat meat."
Qilu said: "Master, this is a forest, there must be many edible animals."
"When does the master want to set off?"
Xia Chujian said: "It's morning now, I'll be the early bird. Are we going to set off right away?"
Qilu: "...Good master."
Xia Chujian drove Shao Siming's black and silver mecha, which was still adapted to the environment, and flew out like this.
After she flew a certain distance, Qilu said cautiously: "Master, it seems that the early bird catches the worm."
Qilu, a patient with obsessive-compulsive disorder, must correct his master's abuse of proverbs.
Xia Chujian said with a smile: "Yes, the early bird is eaten by the bird. Will the early bird be caught by us? Will it be eaten by me?"
[Qilu]:……………….
It used a long series of ellipses on Xia Chujian's eyepiece display to express its complicated and unspeakable mood.
Xia Chujian smiled and changed the subject, saying, "Qilu, have you noticed that I didn't see any animals flying all the way here?"
"Don't they all get up early?"
"Should we go out hunting at night from now on?"
Qilu said: "Master, this is quite strange. However, Qilu was able to detect with radar that there was a wild boar eating in a bamboo forest eight miles ahead."
"It also has long tusks, but its body is covered with scales, not bristles."
"Also, its tail looks like a leopard's tail, and the lines on its body look like ancient charms. It looks quite fierce."
Qilu said, converting the content detected by the radar into an image and displaying it on Xia Chujian's eyepiece display.
Xia Chu was overjoyed and said, "I wonder if it will be as delicious as wild rhino pig!"
"Let's go quickly!"
But just when Xia Chujian was about to fly over, the wild boar suddenly raised its head, sniffed, then turned around and dived deep into the dark forest behind it, and ran away without looking back.
And after it penetrated deep into the forest, Qilu found that it disappeared from its radar detection.
Xia Chujian was actually very fast, and it only took a few seconds to reach the place where the wild boar was attacking the bamboo.
But when Xia Chujian arrived, the wild boar had disappeared without a trace.
Xia Chujian shook his head with infinite regret and said, "This wild boar is quite smart. Forget it, let's look for other animals."
Qilu's radar was always on, and he said at this time: "There is a big river directly ahead at the ten o'clock direction."
"There is a Kui cow bathing in the river."
"Master, do you want to eat this cow?"
Xia Chujian's mouth twitched and said, "Kui Niu?! No, there are Kui Niu here?!"
"I seem to remember that the Kui Niu is not a cow, but... a type of dragon? And it has long been extinct?"
Qilu said: "Master, according to Qilu's database, Kui Niu is not a type of dragon, but a type of ox."
"But it is not easy to pass on its genes, so since ancient times, there have been only three Kui cattle."
"This should be the last one."
Xia Chujian licked his lips and said regretfully: "Forget it, it would be a pity if I ate the last Kui cow in the world."
"Give up. Are there any other animals that can be eaten for a long time?"
What Xia Chujian meant was, don’t look for something as rare as Kui Niu.
Common animals that breed more will be fine.
Qilu understood what Xia Chujian meant, and suddenly said: "Five miles to the right and rear from here, there is a group of birds. They look quite like the Phoenix-tailed Luanyou, but they are much larger than the Phoenix-tailed Luanyou. ”
"Look at what they look like."
When Xia first saw it, she saw a group of two-foot-tall enlarged versions of the phoenixes appearing on her eyepiece display.
Their tail feathers are as brilliant as the morning glow, and their beauty is extraordinary.
Their wings and bodies are plump and huge, and their eyes are big. They are also very beautiful among birds.
Xia Chujian was curious: "What kind of bird is this?"
Qilu said: "According to Qilu's database, they are called Dororo."
"It should taste pretty good."
Xia Chujian nodded and said excitedly: "This bird looks like the ancestor of the Phoenix-tailed Luanyou bird. It must be more delicious!"
As she spoke, she increased her speed and flew towards the group of Dororos.
And when she was leaving, the group of Dororos seemed to suddenly discover something.
They were originally parked on tall plane trees.
At this time, they all raised their heads and looked at the direction Xia Chujian was flying from. They suddenly made a sound like a phoenix and flew into the sky.
But their wings are too fat, which seriously affects their flight speed.
When Xia Chu arrived at lightning speed, these Dororos had just flown over the treetops.
Xia Chujian did not hesitate to switch to an ordinary pistol and fired three shots at these Dororos.
thump! thump! thump!
Three fat and strong Dororos fell down in response.
Xia Chujian is not greedy either.
These three Dororos, which are half a person tall and look like little piglets, are enough for her to eat for several days.
Xia Chujian tied up three Dororos with ropes twisted from tree bark and flew back to the Imperial House.
Along the way, she said to Qilu: "When I see these large phoenix-tailed birds, I want to eat chicken stewed with mushrooms."
"Qilu, help me see if there are any fresh mushrooms around here?"
"It just rained here the day before yesterday. There should be a lot of mushrooms, right?"
Qilu used radar to detect it and said: "There is a piece of mushroom one mile ahead. It is as big as beef liver. It is faintly green inside and looks delicious."
"There is no record of this mushroom in Qilu's database, but it looks very similar to boletus, and it should be a variant of boletus."
Xia Chujian said happily: "Hurry up and pick some, go back and make mushroom stew Dororo!"
With that said, under Qilu's guidance, she came to where the mushrooms were.
There were indeed several mushrooms as big as beef liver growing there. The mushrooms turned out on their sides and were obviously green.
After Xia Chujian picked them, he found a small stream, washed the white and green porcini mushrooms, broke off a few pieces, and threw them into the stream to feed the fish.
Also try to see if the mushroom is poisonous.
The fish in the stream rushed to eat the mushrooms. Nothing happened. They just became more lively and swam extremely happily in the stream.
Xia Chujian observed them for a while and saw that none of them were dead, so he determined that these mushrooms were non-toxic.
She took these mushrooms and the three Dororos back to her cabin, the Imperial House.
The mushrooms have been washed and need to be dried.
The three Dororos have been killed, but they need to be sorted out.
Xia Chujian would do these things.
She plucked all three Dororos out very neatly.
The feathers were piled half as high as a person.
Xia Chujian said happily: "I can put these feathers on the bed at night. Will it be softer when I sleep?"
Qilu said nothing, and also typed a series of ellipses on Xia Chujian's eyepiece display.
Seeing that Xia Chu understood Qilu's mood, he laughed loudly, switched out the dagger in his hand, and disembowelled the three plucked Dororos respectively, cleaning their bodies and internal organs.
One of these three Dororori actually had dozens of eggs in its belly.
The egg was as big as a goose egg, but had not yet grown its shell.
Qilu's childish voice revealed a deep sense of joy: "Master! Dororo's eggs are a real tonic!"
"Master, eating these unlaid eggs will be more satisfying than eating Dororo's meat!"
Xia Chujian was also very happy: "Ah? Really? Is it really good for my body?"
Qilu said with certainty: "Dororo is very rare to come by. Its meat is said to be the most nourishing to humans, better than all delicacies from the mountains and seas."
"And they are also very ferocious. It is said that they once preyed on humans, but later the starlings hunted them, and they became extinct."
Xia Chujian immediately thought of the cute little Awu and A'qun at home, and said, "It would be great if A'qun was here..."
Qilu said: "Master, if Ajun were here, these Dororo would have run away long ago."
"They can smell the starry sky chicks from eight hundred miles away, and they will run away immediately."
Xia Chujian immediately lost his regret and said, "That's good, otherwise I wouldn't have any meat to eat."
As she spoke, she took out all the shellless eggs from Dororo's stomach, washed them, and put them into a deep stone pot.
Then cut off half of the wings of Dororo Pork Dundon, and put them into a deep stone pottery pot together with half of the bird's legs.
With just this half wing and half bird leg, the entire stone pottery pot is full.
A larger chapter was delivered. See you tomorrow.
