Crossing to Live in the Wilderness Plains

"Birthday?"

"Well, just to thank you for coming to this world." Chen Qi brushed aside a few strands of hair on the other's forehead and explained, "Didn't you say that you were born on the first day of the first snow? Whether it's our fate or not, we also met on the first day of the first snow last year." Although he fainted from the cold as soon as we met, the first snow was over when he woke up.

Aze raised his head, he didn't expect that Chen Qi still remembered this matter, he didn't even remember when he mentioned to the other party when he was born. "Then you asked me to come back earlier..."

"At that time, I wanted to celebrate for you. Who knew you would come back so late. Before the Lion and Wolf tribe left, I used two cowhide drums to exchange them for two pterosaur eggs." It's over, hopefully those two eggs haven't broken.

"I'm sorry." Aze lowered his head and apologized.

Orcs don't have the habit of celebrating birthdays, but Aze really enjoys Chen Qi's keeping the day he was born in his heart. He doesn't know what the scene of his birth was like, but because he doesn't have stretch marks, it's not that bad. The happy thing, it is estimated that apart from his parents, no one expected his birth. When I was still in the original tribe, even though I was young at that time, most things could not be remembered clearly, but some people pointed at him and scolded him. Why is it that people like him who have been abandoned by the beast gods still come to this world, no matter how many years have passed, the tone and demeanor of those people are that they can clearly remember all the details as long as they close their eyes.

"You don't need to apologize to me, you also left to help me hunt the fur of the fur snow bear, I haven't thanked you yet." Chen Qi smiled, "A Jing was born on the first day of winter, your second birthday is It’s not a few days away, why don’t you celebrate your birthday with him first this year, so that we can celebrate the winter together. I’ll spend it alone for you next year.”

"Okay, you have the final say." Aze had no idea about his birthday, "but why do you need to celebrate the winter?"

Entering the winter is not a good thing for the orcs, rather it is a bad thing. Winter means starvation, cold and life-threatening danger. From the day of winter, every orc looks forward to the early end of winter and the early arrival of summer.

"Why not celebrate? When winter comes we can stay at home and don't have to go out to work. We have enough food, warm clothes, and enough firewood to keep us warm all winter, you say What's wrong with living comfortably at home without worrying about eating and drinking?"

A Ze thought for a while and nodded. There is nothing wrong with him. This summer, he has to go out picking or hunting every day. He doesn't have much time to accompany Chen Qi every day. Besides, I can stay with Chen Qi every day.

Thinking of this, the expression on A Ze's face softened a bit, "Listening to what you said, I also want to celebrate the beginning of winter."

"Then that's the decision. When the winter comes, let's celebrate together. When the time comes, I will invite the people from the tribe to play together for a day, and the few jars of wine I brewed. When the time comes, we will drink it together. You I picked a lot of grapes last time, and Ale also sent a lot of them, and I will brew some more tomorrow, so that in winter, I will have something to drink."

"And the half of the corn I left for you today, do you think it's delicious? If you saw it when you were out these two days, remember to pick some for me..."

Listening to Chen Qi's babbling words, Aze nodded dotingly, and occasionally said "um", taking the other party's babbling in his heart.

Early the next morning, before the hunting team went out, Chen Qi and A Ze went to A Zhang to talk about what the two had talked about last night. After A Zhang heard it, he decided to follow Chen Qiti's advice and let him stay behind. The other orcs in the tribe temporarily stopped their work and made some barriers such as deer, while the females continued to chop wood near the forest.

That night, A Ze really brought back two corns. This kind of wild fruit would make his stomach swell up, so A Ze would not pick it up even if he met by chance before, because he was afraid that Chen Qi would eat a bad stomach. However, corn is not so easy to find. Today, I happened to see one at the place where the tree was cut down. Later, I went around the neighborhood and didn't see the second one.

Knowing that this corn was not easy to find, Chen Qi could only suppress his greed, and dried the two corns that looked a little old, and planned to use them as seeds directly next year.

The busy and peaceful days passed quickly. During this time, no dragons appeared nearby, and Chen Qidu had a feeling that the years were quiet.

On the last day before winter, A-Zhang took the hunting team with the hyena dragon fur that had not rotted away to go to the Chishui River to catch the last fish. The fish caught this time will no longer be pickled with salt. Instead, leave it directly, and when midnight comes, the suddenly lowered temperature will become a natural refrigerator, freezing the prey, so that the prey can keep for a long time without rotting.

Chen Qi started busy with the evening celebrations early in the morning. He planned to make a birthday cake for A Ze and A Jing.

Chen Qi had the experience of baking bread on the stove before. Although he wanted to make cakes, in fact, due to the limitation of materials and props, he could only bake alternative breads with larger shapes and not as hard as the previous breads. Chen Qi I don't intend to worry about the taste of the cake itself, I just intend to decorate the cake a little bit.

This time, the celebration venues are arranged in the courtyard of Chen Qi's house and the hall in the house. Fortunately, there are not many people in Qize City. Except for the planting area in the courtyard, the rest of the place is just enough to accommodate the lower tribe. people.

Early in the morning, I asked Carlo and Yehuo to help go to the school cafeteria to move some tables and chairs and set them up. Chen Qi also took advantage of the fact that the ghost needle flowers around the yard had not withered, and cut a lot of them and inserted them into bamboo tubes for decoration. In order to prevent the bamboo tube from being knocked over if it is too light, some gravel is also placed in the bamboo tube to increase the weight.

Several red lanterns are hung in the yard for lighting, the surrounding stone lamps have been filled with grease, and large newly prepared candles have been placed on each table, so that even if it is a moonless night, there is no need to worry. Can't see anything.

In order to set off the atmosphere, Chen Qi also made some colored paper to hang around, especially the tall fig tree. The red, yellow and yellow colored paper hangs down and shakes slightly when the wind blows, which is really beautiful.

After lunch, Chen Qi asked Ajing to help deal with the batch of fragrant fruit that Aze brought back. There is no cream here, but the fragrant fruit is white and sticky, sweet and fragrant, but it can be used instead of cream.

Spread the stirred flakes on the surface of the cake that has been baked and let it cool, then decorate it with various fruits, and use a little juice of other colors to write happy birthday on the cake, although the production is simple. A little bit, but it looks the same.

However, only one cake was written for writing, and the other cakes that were distributed to other people were simply decorated.

No way, the stove can't bake large things, so I can only make do with it.

During the day, everyone has other things to do, and Chen Qi doesn't have so much time to prepare all the food, so the theme of the evening is self-service barbecue.

Chen Qi usually collects some charcoal to use as resources in winter after burning firewood, so at this time he is not worried about not having enough charcoal at all. The iron sheet was beaten very thinly, and the heat conduction effect was good. Chen Qi only needed to prepare various sauces.

In the evening, the people of the hunting team came back with a rich variety of fish. Because it was the last day of winter hunting, the people of the hunting team went all out to catch them. Ah Zhang generously contributed several big fish to be used for today. In the evening dinner of the tribe, there was a lot of fresh fish distributed to everyone at the end. The big wooden box that Chen Qi used to store his prey last winter was full of them.

Probably because on the last night before the winter, everyone was not cautious, and they played happily. Everyone had a smile on their face, and the newly added orcs felt a little sour and a little emotional.

In previous years, where they stayed, the whole tribe would fall into a gloomy atmosphere because of the coming of winter. They needed to start planning the amount of food they would eat throughout the winter. They wouldn’t have a party and eat at the beginning of the winter like now. Drink up.

Although it was the first time to spend the winter in Qi Ze City, and the way of doing things in Qi Ze City was very different from what he knew before, everyone did not have any panic, but felt a sense of peace of mind. They even had a It is a hunch that this year's winter will probably be the best winter they have ever spent.

The orcs gathered together in twos and threes. For the time being, they only had the food in front of them and the happy atmosphere around them. The coming winter and the threat of dragons in the forest had long been forgotten by them.

Ale took the chili sauce made by Chen Qixin and walked to a table, scooped out a spoonful and put it in Yehuo's plate, Yehuo just brought the grilled fish fillets. "Yehuo, please try the chili sauce made by Chen Qi. If it is delicious, I will learn how to make it with him tomorrow."

Yehuo took a slice and dipped it in a little chili sauce and handed it to Ale. When Ale opened his mouth to eat, he took another slice and tried it, "Well, it's delicious."

Ale tsk tsk tsk the food in his mouth, "Yehuo, when were you born? Next time I will give you a birthday party like this."

Ye Huo was stunned, "I was born in summer."

"Hey, what a coincidence? I was also born in summer. I heard that the rain just stopped on the day I was born, why don't we have a birthday together."

Ye Huo dotingly took another piece of meat for the other party and smiled: "Okay."

Ali squatted beside the fire plate with a plate and watched A Zhang rummaging through the food on the iron plate. A Zhang's cooking skills were not good. When he was in the Yanshan tribe, he deliberately went to Ali's house for food and was unwilling to do so. Cooking. Now that Ali takes the initiative to feed after arriving here, he doesn't need to do it himself. At this moment, when he wants to let Ali taste his craft, he finds that it is even more difficult than hunting a pig dragon by himself.

"The piece over there is going to be burnt." A Li smiled and pointed at the other side while looking at the other side flipping through the pieces of meat in a hurry. Such A Zhang actually made him feel a little cute.
