With the addition of Wu and Mengka, Maxine and Lu Bing are very satisfied. When going out, Maxine is much safer with Mengka as a partner, and Lu Bing at home will not be lonely if Wu is with him. In the past few days, Lu Bing took Wu to understand the various places in the cave, and carefully explained the functions of each place. Wu listened more and more excited, and told Mengka these words when he was sleeping at night. After understanding, Mengka was also very happy to live. Right here. After Wu's body fully recovered, Mengka took the pangolin claws borrowed by Maxine to the next door to Maxine's cave and started digging. Wu followed Lu Bing to learn how to make clothes, bedding, spinning and weaving. During this period of time, many plants in the planting area have bloomed, and Maxine pollinated these flowers with feathers according to Lu Bing's instructions.

Putting on the clothes and shoes he made by himself, Wu jumped a few times excitedly. "That's great. I'll make Monka's clothes together later, so that he won't be cold when digging the cave."

"I'll show you Maxine's clothes later. I wear it from time to time. Mengka belongs to the Tiger Clan, and the clothes can be made thinner when the temperature is high in the ice and snow season." Lu Bing sat spinning while chatting with Wu, and Wu readily accepted Lu Bing's suggestion. "I'm making Mengka's clothes and shoes now, and you're teaching me how to spin when I'm done .

"

Weaving also taught him some Chinese eating methods, and Lu Bing's passion for being a teacher began to flare up again. Today was a rare sunny day, and he lay sideways on the kang and asked Maxine who was sleeping next to him. "Will the fine weather outside be gone in a blink of an eye?"

Maxine stretched out the duvet to cover Lu Bing's shoulders, and carefully massaged his sore waist and legs. "It looks like today will be sunny, but tomorrow the weather will be cloudy again."

Nestled in Maxine's arms, Lu Bing slightly raised his head to look at the light coming in from the window. "The weather is really nice today, Wu's body has recovered, and his and Mengka's clothes have been made. Maxine, let's go out and play, and catch some fresh fish to eat."

It's sunny outside, but the temperature is low enough for the ice and snow season. Maxine frowned and didn't like Lu Bing's frostbite. Lu Bing saw that this matter was going to be serious and quickly kissed Maxine. "We wear thick clothes and set up a stove on the sled. The sled is covered with animal skins to keep out the wind. It must be warm inside. If it's cold, there will be wine to warm us up. Don't worry about us."

Maxine is still hesitating, the ice and snow season I'm really bored at home and afraid of going out. . Lu Bing didn't want to watch the good things he got fly away and try his best to coax him. "Or use a stone box with charcoal to stuff it on the sled, and then use a bamboo bed to raise the height and spread a bedding on it, so that it will be the same as the house around the animal skin. When you catch fish, we will watch it inside." , okay?"

Yo but Lu Bing, Maxine talked to Meng Ka and Wu after getting up, but Wu Xian agreed to Lu Bing's proposal. Two good orcs dragged the sled that had been prepared for pulling pine needles and carefully strengthened it according to Lu Bing's instructions, and then wrapped it in wolf fur and it was indeed warm inside. Bringing the stove, nuts, wine, stewed meat and other appetizers, Lu Bing and Wu Chuanhou drove to the big lake outside the secret stone group in a sled under the leadership of their respective partners.

The ice and snow season does not snow every day. Often the heavy snow will stop for a few days and the sky will always be gloomy. Such a clear sky is really rare. Lu Bing and Wu sat in the sled and chatted before they could say a few words when they felt that the sled stopped. They pulled the animal skin slightly and looked outside. Maxine and Mengka took the tools on the other sled behind and prepared to dig ice and smash holes.

Only opened a small seam of the animal skin, and the icy cold air outside rushed in. Lu Bing and Wu sneezed and quickly put the animal skin away, smiled at each other, quickly sewed the fish and bird skulls together and dug out a piece The animal skin is fixed on the wolf skin, and then the animal skin is tied to the bamboo pole inside the sled. The animal skin was not well done, and it was only a little more than half of the previous height. Lu Bing called Maxine and asked him to pull the animal skin covered by the outside to the top of the skull of the fish and bird, so that he and the witch could have a good time in the warm environment. Watch them fish from the sled cabin.

Maxine has always been very supportive of Lu Bing's dexterity, and made a slightly yellow fish and bird head according to Lu Bing's request. The skull can clearly see the inside of the sleigh hut. When it was cold, Maxine went to help Monka. Looking outside through the skull, the two orcs swept away the snow, and dug the ice with the sharp claws of the mountain beasts. Lu Bing talked to Wu in a showy manner. "When they dig the ice to get into the water, the fish in the water will jump out one by one. I will teach you how to make meatballs with these fish at night."

Thinking of the fish balls, Lu Bing's saliva came down, thinking I haven't cooked hot pot for Maxine yet. "In the evening, we cook hot pot. We cook soup in a stone pot, put the vegetables and meat into the pot and scald them. When they are cooked, they can be dipped in the sauce and eaten. The soup inside is warmed by adding chili and ice and snow season. It's a pity that this sled is a bit smaller, and it would be nice to eat hot pot in the sled while looking at the scenery outside."

In the past ten days, I have eaten a lot of delicious Wu Ting with Lu Bing, and Lu Bing was drooling when talking about hot pot. , After listening to him say that the idea of ​​eating outside is also intriguing. "Really, when the weather is nice, we will use two sledges to build a hut so that they can come up to eat."

This idea is really good. Lu Bing was very moved by Wu's proposal. After thinking about it, there are still three months before the end of the ice and snow season. There are many opportunities for sunny weather in such a long time. "Let them get another simple sled when we go back. At that time, the back one will be used as a hut in the future. If the hut is well kept warm today, it is not sunny and there is no wind and snow. They may be able to grind it." I went out to play. It's too hard to stay at home this ice and snow season."

"That's not true." Wu also felt sympathy. "In the rainy and snowy seasons, many females in the tribe used to hide in caves and couldn't go out. Even if there was a fire to keep warm, many female little female orcs would die, even those who were elderly or seriously injured. This is a really good place now. I really want to thank you for being here."

Wu sincerely thanked Lu Bing and the others for taking him in, otherwise Mengka, whom he loved so much after dying of illness and freezing to death, would not have the motivation to live. Lu Bing was a little embarrassed by Wu's thanks. Maxine accepted them so that several helpers could live here together, and also valued that Wu, a female, could accompany him when he went out. Lu Bing changed the subject in embarrassment, he is really not such a nice person. "How is the digging of Mengka's cave going?"

"It's cold now, and Mengka said that the stones are so frozen that it's hard to dig. Fortunately, there are still three months until the dry season, and Mengka said that the cave will be dug by then. During the dry season, let me concentrate on learning from you to plant a baked brick and make it ready before the rainy season." Thinking of Lu Bing and Maxine's home, such a warm and comfortable cave, when thinking about next year's rainy season, I can do it myself I look forward to living in such a nice home.

"When the ice and snow melt, I will teach you how to plant. At that time, it will not be as leisurely as it is now." Lu Bing couldn't help but think of the days when he and Maxine were racing against time. They really paid a lot to ensure that they survived the ice and snow season safely. . "How is your spinning these two days?"

"I'm still not used to it." Those threads were a problem in Wu's mind. "Take your time."

"That's right." At the beginning, he had trouble spinning the thread, but now Wu just went his own way. "Fish are coming out, fish are coming out."

Live fish of various sizes have jumped out of the two-meter-wide cave on the ice layer, and these fish froze as soon as they hit the ice. Wu was so excited to see such a novel thing, he pulled Lu Bing who was equally excited and shouted. Originally, they were just having fun and never thought that what Lu Bing said was true. Maxine and Mengka saw a lot of fish piled up on the ice layer next to the ice hole, and packed the frozen fish into the beast with excitement. leather bag. The small live fish that jumped out of the ice hole filled three pockets, and there were more than 20 big fish over one meter piled up. Maxine and Monka piled the fish on the sled, fearing that the two people in the sled hut would freeze after being out for so long, and rushed back after only two hours.

Back home, Maxine and Mengka obeyed Lu Bing's instructions and removed the scales, disembowelled and skinned the big fish, and beat the meat without any small thorns into minced fish. After receiving the onion and ginger juice squeezed out by Lu Bing and Wu and the chicken soup that had been cooled to remove oil, Maxine and Mengka carefully stirred several pots of fish paste and added the fine salt that Lu Bing estimated. When the fish paste became viscous and viscous, add egg white, lard and flour. Lu Bing and Wu, who retreated to the side, watched Maxine and Mengka speed up the stirring speed a lot until the fish paste became milky white and Lu Bing stopped the bright, delicate, glutinous and loose fish grits.

Instruct Maxine and the others to carry the minced fish to the stove, add fire ice to the stove, demonstrate and teach Wu how to squeeze out fish balls. A cauldron was quickly filled with two people working together, and the water was not opened yet, and the two of them moved to the next stove to continue. After the three large stoves were used, the previous two pots of fish paste hadn't been used up. At this time, Maxine and Mengka efficiently stirred the other five pots of fish paste.

Let Maxine and Mengka, who want to take over, clean the bamboo plaque so that they can cool the fish balls and freeze them, and let them do it even if the three bags of fish that have been poured back have not been processed. Considering that none of them had lunch yet, the three pots of fish balls filled their stomachs as soon as Lu Bing adjusted the taste. Lu Bing also holds a bowl of boiled fish balls and eats them by the stove. The unfilled fish balls taste good and have a strong flavor, but Lu Bing still prefers to eat meat fillings. The preparations were not sufficient this time, so it is better to prepare the meat stuffing before going down.
