Crossing to Live in the Wilderness Plains

Chen Qi smiled and handed the thing to A Jing, A Jing put down the little wolf cub, wiped his hands on the clothes, and then took it carefully.

But A Jing was not in a hurry to look at it now. After entering the room with Chen Qi, he put the drawing on the table, and took a clean small piece of wood to press it so that it would not be accidentally knocked off.

"Chen Qi, do you want to take a shower now?" A Jing ran to Chen Qi and asked after putting his things away.

Chen Qi put his backpack on a futon, stretched his waist, nodded when he heard A Jing's question, and sighed, "I just want to take a comfortable hot bath now, and then lie back in my comfortable bed. Get a good night’s sleep under the covers.” Even if you don’t have to walk by yourself, it’s tiring to run around the wilderness for so many days.

After getting the answer, Ajing turned around and entered the washroom. Not long after, Chen Qi heard the sound of water coming from the washroom. Chen Qi walked in suspiciously, and saw Ajing standing on a wooden stool. He took a large wooden spoon from the large wooden bucket that was taller than him, and scooped the water into the bathtub next to him one by one.

Chen Qi walked over quickly and took the wooden spoon in A Jing's hand, "I'll fix it, you can go outside and look at the picture album." After speaking, he frowned and looked at the water in the big wooden bucket, "All the water is placed in it. It's been more than two months, and it can't be used."

"I called it yesterday." A Jing retorted.

"what?"

Ajing pointed to the clear waterway in the big wooden bucket: "Ali said that you will be back in a few days, so I fetch water every day, and the water used to be used to water the crops in the yard long ago. ." As A Jing's words fell, the little wolf cub beside him also raised his chest and let out a cry as if to prove what A Jing said.

Such a big wooden barrel, taller than A Jing's small body, is now full of water, and he beat it all by himself?

Chen Qi looked at him in disbelief, a warm current surged in his heart, and rubbed A Jing's hair fiercely until the other party grinned and started dodging before he stopped. He rolled up his sleeves and said to Ajing, "Help me to set a fire and boil the water. Just give me the water here to scoop it into the tub."

Ah Jing nodded, went to the stove and stuffed the dry firewood in, picked up the flint beside him and started lighting it.

After the water was hot, Chen Qi did not rush to wash, but went out to call Aze, who was preparing to eat at this time.

The house was probably being cleaned all the time, and there was no dust. Chen Qi took the things in Aze's hand and pointed to the direction of the bathroom, "The water is hot, you should wash first."

"But..." The dish was only half cooked.

"It's okay, just leave the rest to me." Chen Qi interrupted the other party, and after speaking, he pushed the other party into the washroom without any explanation, "I'll bring the clothes in for you, you can bubble in the tub first. "

Looking at the wooden door of the bathroom that had been closed, Aze smiled. Instead of insisting on going out to continue cooking, he took off his clothes and washed his body with water casually. Even figs were useless, so he stepped into the bath. In the bucket, the warm water surrounded him, and all the fatigue during this period seemed to be washed away by this warmth.

When Chen Qi helped Aze deliver the clothes, he found that Ajing had put the meat and potatoes that Aze had half processed into the pottery plate, and also added a few slices of ginger, green onions and garlic to cook the potato stew. The porridge simmering on a smaller pottery plate was already steaming hot.

Chen Qi walked over in surprise, "When did you learn to cook?"

"Looking at how many times you've cooked it, I would have cooked it long ago." During the days when Chen Qi was away, A Li not only made pottery, but also taught the tribesmen to make clothes. , there are two yard crops, etc. Every day is very busy, and there is no time to cook every day. Later, A Jing took over the task of cooking, although it was not as delicious as A Li, and it was too complicated. The dishes are still unmanageable, but the simple dishes made are at least not unpalatable.

I didn't expect that I haven't seen each other for more than two months. This little brat has grown up a lot. After complimenting A Jing a few times, I saw that there was nothing I needed to do by myself. Chen Qi thought about it and took a set. Clean home clothes went into the bathroom.

Because of the hot weather, Chen Qi didn't heat the water too hot, and the fire was almost removed. He only used the residual temperature of the charcoal fire to bake it. At this moment, there was no smoke or moisture in the room.

A Ze was lying quietly on the edge of the tub, probably because he had been rushing for a whole day after the end of the night last night. At this moment, he was a little drowsy after being soaked in the warm water, and even Chen Qi came in. None were found.

Chen Qi walked over and gently lifted the other party's bangs. As expected, there was a faint circle of dark circles under his eyes. He leaned over and kissed the corner of the other party's eyes with heartache.

As if feeling that someone was touching him, Aze raised his head, looking a little confused, "Why did you come in?"

Chen Qi stretched out his hand and flicked the other's forehead, and scolded with a smile: "Don't you know it's dangerous to fall asleep while taking a shower? What if you get submerged?"

"I'm sorry." Aze bowed his head in a good manner to admit his mistake.

Chen Qi didn't really want to blame him. After putting his clean clothes aside, he began to take off his clothes. A Ze still couldn't react, and asked dumbly, "What are you doing?"

"Take a shower." Chen Qi replied very naturally. The big tub was originally made according to the size that can accommodate two people. At this time, if you don't make good use of it, when will you use it?

Azer's ear tip turned slightly red, then spread to the base of his ear, then his neck, he turned his head and stopped looking at Chen Qi.

Chen Qi smiled lightly, threw the clothes he took off, and stepped into the tub.

After taking a bath and eating, the sky started to get dark. A Jing had already brought his things back from Ali's house. Chen Qi didn't want to go to bed immediately after he had eaten, so he walked around the yard to see When I got to the tall fig tree, I remembered the wine that was buried before, so it should have been fermented for a long time.

Chen Qi went to the room and asked A Jing to call A Li next door. After all, there was also some wine made by A Li in it. Naturally, he would also know what it was like now.

I heard that they want to dig wine, not only A Li, but also A Zhang and A Yan and A Yu who live with them. There is a wall between Carlo's house and Chen Qi's house. After Bian's movement, he and Carlo came out with A Yao, but when they heard that they were going to dig wine, they came over curiously.

Chen Qi, who was holding the bone hoe, looked at the group of people around him speechlessly. Fortunately, there was an uninhabited school next to him. Otherwise, he was really afraid that the whole tribe would come and watch.

Chen Qixian found the wooden sign with the earliest recorded time, pulled it out and started digging down along the place. In more than two months, a finger-long weed has grown in this place, and the soil has become firm. For fear of breaking the jar, Chen Qi dug carefully.

After digging out the jar, Chen Qi was a little nervous. He was making fruit wine for the first time. Although he had checked the production method of fruit wine when he was working on a manor-related project, he was not sure if his steps were wrong.

Opening the seal on the jar, a strange smell rushed towards him, Chen Qi stunned, and had a bad premonition.

"Is this wine?" Carlo asked, pinching his nose, worried that he would smoke A Yao, and took a few steps back.

Everyone else's expression was a little subtle when they smelled the smell.

Chen Qi frowned, and did not answer Carlo's question, but leaned closer and smelled it. Although it smelled of alcohol, it was not very strong, and mixed with the smell of alcohol, there was still a sour taste and a trace of mud. The fishy smell is like the smell that something will have after it has been left for a long time.

Ask Aze to help dig out all the other jars of wine, all of which have this strange taste.

Seeing Chen Qi's bad face, Ali asked worriedly, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with this wine?"

Chen Qi shook his head, "I don't know if there was a problem in the brewing process or the method of burying the wine. This wine doesn't smell like wine."

"It's not like wine?" Ali was confused by him, what was that?

Chen Qi went back to the house and took out a chopstick, dipped some on one of the wine jars, then stuck out his tongue and licked the liquid on it. As soon as the liquid entered his mouth, Chen Qi quickly vomited. When he came out, he frowned and picked up the tea that had been brewed on the wooden table next to him and rinsed his mouth.

Everyone else watched Chen Qi's actions, waiting for him to say the result.

Chen Qi glanced around at everyone, and lowered his shoulders, "Sorry, this wine failed to brew."

Ali was stunned for a while. The brewing process seemed simple, but it took a lot of time. Unexpectedly, it failed after brewing. "Do you know the reason for the failure?"

Chen Qi told him the taste he had tasted, and then described the taste of the real wine. After listening to Chen Qi's description, Ake pondered for a while, "Since there is a taste of earth, could it be? Are these jars flooded? Does this wine have to be buried in the ground to make it?"

"..." Chen Qi replied with a bit of difficulty: "No, it doesn't have to be buried in the ground." He wouldn't tell these people that he was brainstorming for a while, thinking that those people on TV would look for them every time they made wine. Dig a hole in a place and bury it, and in a few years, you will be able to harvest a jar of mellow and delicious wine, and you will follow suit. Could it be that this is wrong in itself, or is it because of the different brewing materials? Is there an essential difference between wine brewed from grain and fruit wine brewed by yourself?

For Chen Qi, who has never been addicted to alcohol, he usually only drinks a few sips of beer. He was often teased by his colleagues as a good boy who did not smoke or drink, so he was pulled at the party when he came here. I drank too much, but I didn't expect that I would be drunk for the first time in my life.

Seeing that Chen Qi was silent and did not speak, Aze thought that the other party was hit by the failure of winemaking. After all, Chen Qi has always done nothing wrong. He reached out and squeezed Chen Qi's palm, comforting: "I will do it again tomorrow. Go pick some fruits and come back, then brew it again and see?"

Although Ayan didn't know what the so-called wine was, she also said, "I will help you find it tomorrow. What kind of fruit are you looking for?"

"This wine is made from grapes."

"There should be a lot of grapes in the forest at this time. How many are needed? They can be picked in a day."

Seeing that everyone was trying to comfort himself, Chen Qi smiled, "Well, let's re-brew it tomorrow. Next time, I'll invite you to drink good wine."
