After traveling through ancient times, she became a wild woman

Chapter 1522 Preparing for the New Year
Xiao Se put Ah Ri's head on Ah Xin's lap and carefully fed Ah Ri a few mouthfuls of thick porridge to replenish his calories.

Ah Xin kept his body tight and didn't dare to move the whole time. It was the gaze of Chang Sheng behind him that made him not dare to move either.

Xiao Se put the bowl aside, wiped Ah Ri's mouth, and then carefully lifted his head from Ah Xin's legs and placed it on the animal skin quilt.

Ah Xin, who had not done any physical work, felt that she was more tired than killing ten beasts. Sweat covered her back and her hands and feet were a little numb.

Xiao Se covered Ah Ri with a quilt and said to Changsheng: "Now, just wait for Ah Ri to wake up. Can I leave him here?"

Chang Sheng blinked and said yes.

Xiao Se nodded: "Okay, that's it. Ah Xin, you and Ah Wang take good care of Changsheng and Ah Ri. If anything happens, remember to call me."

"Okay." Ah Xin and Ah Wang responded.

Xiao Se left the tent and walked towards Ah Cha who was boiling water: "Where are the patriarch and the others?"

"I'm looking for Ah Chi." Ah Cha poured a cup of hot water and handed it to Xiao Se, "Drink some to warm yourself up."

Xiao Se held the hot water in his hand, and his palms felt warm and comfortable: "Today is the Chinese New Year."

"Ah, so fast!" Ah Cha looked surprised, then delighted, "So we only have a day off today?"

Xiao Se chuckled: "Yeah, not really. The main thing is to see if Big Black and Little Black can wake up tomorrow. They are entering hibernation now. I don't know when they will wake up."

Ah Cha followed the bleak gaze and looked at Big Hei and Xiao Hei. The sunlight shone on them, making their scales more dazzling and beautiful.

She sighed softly: "Hey, will you wake up tomorrow?"

Xiao Se took a sip of hot water, his limbs and bones felt warm, but he shook his head: "Probably not."

Different species of snakes hibernate for different lengths of time.

Some enter hibernation when the temperature is below 15 degrees, while others only enter hibernation when the temperature drops below zero.

It also depends on their age and gender.

Generally speaking, before entering hibernation, pythons will eat a lot of food to provide themselves with nutritional supplements during hibernation, and then find a good hole to hibernate in.

After Dahei and Xiaohei woke up, they moved in the snow. This also has something to do with their bodies.

At first they were adapting to the cold weather, but unexpectedly, they fell into the river, and the cold prompted them to enter hibernation again.

Xiao Se felt that there was little hope of waking up in a short time.

Ah Cha said, "If Big Hei and Xiao Hei don't wake up tomorrow, shall we set off?"

"Yes." Xiao Se drank all the hot water, holding the cup that was still warm, and said softly, "We can't stop leaving just because they haven't woken up. We can't afford to wait."

Ah Cha understood what Xiao Se meant: "What about Ah Di?"

"I will tell her properly." Xiao Se looked for A Di and saw that he was having fun with Ah Cheng and the others.

It is true that this child values ​​affection and justice, but it is also true that he loves to play at this age.

I just hope he can see things more openly and not be too sad.

"Let's go and see Aye."

Aye saw Xiao Se coming and smiled: "I was just thinking about calling everyone to eat, and here you are."

"Yeah." Xiao Se checked the morning porridge, which was the same as before.

After looking at it, Xiao Se's eyebrows were gentle: "Today is Chinese New Year. In addition to the same fish and meat hot pot as yesterday, I will add a few more things."

Ah Ye's eyes lit up: "It's the Chinese New Year, so I'm one year older! Okay, fish hot pot. Yesterday's fish was frozen in the snow. The quantity is definitely enough." Ah Xi heard that he wanted to eat it. Yes, her ears are the smartest: "We also eat fish hotpot."

Xiao Se chuckled and said: "Yes, during the Chinese New Year, we also eat fish hot pot."

A few people were chattering and discussing what food to prepare when the time came.

Xiao Se suggested that the milk milked in the morning be made into blancmange.

Mao cows can only give birth to one child at a time, but these calves are very adaptable and almost all survive.

Moreover, woolly cows also grow very quickly and will be mature after eight months.

Mao cows are also very adaptable and can survive at minus 25 degrees Celsius. In the current weather, it can be minus 20 degrees at most. They live very well and always have milk.

After boiling the milk, add some stored nuts to remove the flavor. In addition to the amount of milk powder, you can also boil the milk for cubs and the elderly to drink. Many females can also drink it.

Soak the soybeans in the morning, make tofu in the evening, and add a side dish.

There is a river next to it, where you can catch small fish, beasts, or other water creatures to add to your meal.

Atang took the males to do this. They found a place farther away and smashed a hole in the ice. The fish and beasts inside rushed out to get oxygen.

Hahaha, another delicious meal.

Dried winter bamboo shoots, black fungus, dried purslane and those flowers can be eaten after soaking.

Chestnut powder is used to make chestnut cake, and the honey is so fragrant that your mouth will water when you smell it.

There are also dried fruits and bird's nests, which are soaked and stewed with milk. Just looking at them is delicious.

The fish and beasts that were frozen yesterday were left untouched for now. Instead, they washed the fish and beasts that Atang and the others caught, soaked the fish in fish roe, washed and put them on, and laid out the fish slices.

Save the football-sized fish heads for making fish head soup. Although I didn’t throw away yesterday’s fish heads, it was indeed not that big of a pot, so this one is fine.

Ah Ye, Ah Zhen, Ah Zhen, Adou and the others all prepared the New Year's Eve dinner according to Xiao Se's instructions.

Ana and Azang followed Xiao Se's instructions and prepared the beast's head to sacrifice to heaven.

Now that there are no wild beasts, we can only use fish heads to offer sacrifices to the sky.

Since there is only one kind of head of the fish beast, Azang also proposed to cut off the head of the snow beast and offer it to heaven, but Xiao Se refused.

The hair on the snow beast's head is removed, and it looks similar to that of a human being. It is too scary to think of putting it on an offering.

Finally, the heads of three kinds of fish and beasts were placed in the offering ceremony. They all looked similar, but they were completely different.

Xiao Se looked at the catfish's head and sighed secretly. He didn't expect that this year's sacrifice to heaven would be so perfunctory.

She came to Atang with the idea of ​​finding good-looking fish heads, but she didn't expect that there were not only fish and beasts, but also crabs.

Each of these crabs is as big as a football, and they are waving their pincers arrogantly, with the momentum of one against ten thousand, fighting to the death.

Xiao Se was surprised: "It's actually a crab! So ferocious! Shouldn't it be hibernating at this time and hiding in a hole? Where did you dig it?"

Atang wiped his sweat, pointed to the hole next to him, and smiled with two rows of teeth: "There, when I was catching fish and beasts just now, I stepped on a hole. I saw something in it, so I dug it. , I dug up crabs unexpectedly.”

He smiled shyly: "I heard you talk about crab before, so when I saw it had two big pincers, I thought, maybe it is really the crab you mentioned. If not, it doesn't matter, just throw it into the water."

Xiao Se looked at the arrogant crabs one by one and smiled: "They are crabs. Stew them all and eat them tonight."
