Traveling through ancient times: Marry a beastman and give birth to a cub

Chapter 1009 Frozen Ice

Luo Ze took Xiao Xu and the others, carrying the burden, and prepared to go digging ice.

The place to go is not very close to home, but not too far away in a mountain.

In this mountain, there used to be a small river, the source of which was a small waterfall, but now, the small waterfall, together with this river, have all been frozen solid.

Therefore, they are going to dig ice here, and they don't need to dig here or look there.

However, although the river is quite long, even if it is hollowed out, it probably won't be enough, and we have to go to other places to see it.

However, this is something to think about after this.

But he didn't expect that he thought of this place, and others thought of it too.

"Hey, Ze, are you here to dig ice?"

There is no first-come-first-served approach, and the two parties arrived almost at the same time. Moreover, looking at the postures of both parties, one can quickly guess what they are going to do.

Luo Ze turned his head, hey, this is still an acquaintance.

"Hey, Uncle Fifth, it's you, this is you, are you here to dig ice too?"

The person who also took the cub, carried the burden, and held the big knife was Uncle Wu.

Moreover, with them, there was Luo Ming, who was the first tribal man Su Qing met at first.

When Luo Ze said this, he admitted that he and Xiao Xu were here to dig ice.

"Ha, then you also chose this river?"

Then this is a bit embarrassing. The two chose a place, and it is unreasonable for anyone to retreat.

Because we all know that just such a small river, dug from the ground to the source, is not enough for their ice cellar to store.

Since both parties are here, it is better to withdraw one person and find another place to get it.

"That's right, Uncle Wu, isn't this place closer to home? Moreover, the river is frozen, and the snowflakes on it can be scraped off to get ice directly, which is much more convenient than other places."

For example, there are ice cubes under the feet, but more of them are soft white snow.

Before Fifth Uncle could speak, Luo Ze said again: "Fifth Uncle, we haven't talked for a long time, why don't we take this opportunity to chat?"

Uncle Wu heard Luo say that he chose this place because it was relatively close to his home, and he had the idea of ​​quitting voluntarily.

He also didn't expect that he would meet Luo Ze today and also come out to dig ice.

Thinking that this place is indeed quite close to Luo Ze's house, he must give up this place to Luo Ze.

Anyway, it's not just here that you can dig ice cubes, and you can go to other places without trouble.

Without realizing it, I heard Luo Ze take the initiative to let them stay.

"Huh? Talk?"

It's hard to refuse, but soon, Uncle Wu said with a hearty smile: "Okay, let's talk, talk while working?"

The two reached a tacit understanding, and instead of doing their own things, they worked together to help both parties fill the burdens they brought.

Then Luo Ze and Fifth Uncle, the two adults, picked the ice back, leaving the kids to continue digging.

"Actually, Grandma said before that you can freeze ice directly at home. Although the speed is a bit slow, we are not in a hurry."

"I can make ice cubes at home, and save some trouble, but Dad didn't agree!"

The brats didn't get involved in the topics of the adults, and Luo Ze and the others didn't participate in the topics of the brats like Xiao Xu.

Although, in fact, Xiaoxu and the cubs of the fifth uncle's family have different generations, but who makes the age difference between them not so big.

This kind of people who are not of the same generation, but are about the same age, basically play together, and don't care about the issue of seniority.

While digging, Luo Xu started talking casually to Fifth Uncle's son.

"Huh? Freezing ice cubes at home? How to freeze? Use a bucket?"

If he remembered correctly, the ice cellar at brother Luo Ze's house was not small.

Back then, the tribe knew how to dig an ice cellar because of Luo Zege's aunt.

Then, with the hot weather before, every household in the tribe now dug large and small ice cellars.

Isn't it just for satisfaction, when the weather is hot, you can also drink a sip of cold ice water.

Closer to home.

Such a large ice cellar requires a lot of ice cubes. Even if you take out all the utensils at home, you don't know how long it will take to meet the needs of the ice cellar.

It might as well just come out and dig ice cubes.

If you are not afraid of the cold, after a while, the ice cubes at the door will be very thick.

So, to put it all together, freezing ice cubes by yourself is laborious and thankless.

I don't understand how such a smart aunt would come up with such a method.

"Hey, I think it's pretty good. Grandma wants to use tofu griddles to freeze ice cubes!"

"The ice cubes frozen like that are absolutely square, and you can design them yourself as much or as thick as you want!"

What's more, just make it at home, and you don't have to go so far to dig ice cubes, and you have to pick them back.

And the ice cubes that have been dug out may be frozen together when they are picked back, and they may have to be processed again when they go back.

Isn't this more troublesome than freezing ice cubes?

"It's just that the waterproof animal skin is more difficult to get. I don't have so many such animal skins at home!"

There are waterproof animal skins, and most of the animal skins of river animals and sea animals are waterproof.

Big and small, pieced together, it is not impossible to use.

But if the quantity can't come up, it will be more troublesome. It will definitely take a lot of time to freeze the water once.

If I don't have enough, I can borrow it. According to the family relationship, I can definitely borrow it.

The problem is, the hide has been frozen in ice, so I don't know if it will affect the quality of the hide.

Even if your own animal skin is damaged, that's fine. If you borrow someone else's skin, if it is damaged, you have to pay for it.

It's not just a matter of talking about it, Luo Ze feels that this is an unnecessary trouble.

So, after Su Qing said his thoughts, he thought about it and refused.

Ice cubes are given by nature, as long as they have time, they can take them as they please.

It's just a lot of effort, it's nothing at all, and even because there are things to do, it won't look boring all winter.

It won't damage the property, which is great.

Since Luo Ze said so, and what he said was very reasonable, Su Qing naturally did not insist anymore.

Here, Luo Xu took this as a topic and casually talked about it with Fifth Uncle's little boy.

There is no other meaning, just talking casually, not because there is no topic, it will not appear dull, how embarrassing it is.

"I think it's a good idea!"

Although Fifth Uncle's cub is an orc and a pure-blooded orc of the White Wolf tribe, the two brothers still don't like running out in heavy snow.

That's fine, I didn't run out to let them mess around, but to shave ice, it's even more distasteful.

Didn't you see the two brothers, sweeping snow and digging ice, they both seemed weak.

Now, when Luo Xu talked about Su Qing's method, his eyes lit up, thinking that this method is good.

Although freezing ice cubes by yourself requires work, and some steps are indispensable, but you can do it at home.

It's much more relaxed and fun than at home.

It's a pity that at this time, Abba and Brother Luo Ze went back with ice cubes, otherwise, they would have told Abba directly.

Is it not good to freeze ice at home, and go all the way to dig it.

Even Luo Ming who was relatively silent at the side, his eyes lit up when he heard Luo Xu's words, and his heart was obviously moved.

He also made tofu, which he also learned from Su Qing.

Therefore, he also knows about the so-called tofu lattice.

Although Luo Xu didn't explain the specific steps clearly, they didn't need him to explain in detail, they knew how to freeze ice cubes.

Isn't this the truth about pressing tofu?

How easy, what a perfect method, when Dad comes back, they will definitely suggest it to him.

Besides, didn't grandma say that she is staying at home and can't go out, and that kind of work is boring every day.

If you go home and freeze ice cubes yourself, it shouldn't be boring, right?

It doesn't matter if the speed is slow, it's good to be slow. In this way, Grandma will definitely not be bored.

As long as grandma is happy, what else can dad have to say.

The two brothers looked at each other, they both understood what the other was thinking, and they also exchanged glances, reaching a unity.

As for Luo Ming, his thinking is much simpler.

Because they can't change form, their physical fitness and strength are much worse than that of orcs.

The orcs have a strong physique, so they can naturally go to the mountains to dig ice against the ice and snow.

As long as they pay attention to their proportions, not only will they not feel that this is a hard and tiring job, but they will also think it is a fun pastime.

They are male, and basically several people live together, some are pure brothers, some are companions.

But even if this is the case, not every household will mobilize people to dig an ice cellar.

There are not such delicate females in their family. When the weather is too hot, they want an iced drink.

But, even so, they also need a cellar, an ice cellar, which is specially used to store food and freeze meat.

The cellar was built a long time ago, and they didn't need to ask the orcs of the tribe to help them dig it themselves.

As for the cellar, as long as it doesn't collapse, and the air inside is enough, it won't be humid, then it will be fine.

And the ice cellar was just dug before, and it was also built with the efforts of all the men in pursuit of perfection.

It's still empty now, and they'll fill it with ice cubes later.

The first is the ice wall. He feels that the method Xiao Xu just mentioned can easily make the most suitable ice bricks.

The only difficulty is that they don't have many animal skins.

But if the winter is long enough, it doesn't really matter, they can take their time.

Anyway, the ice cellar is not used in winter, they have a whole winter time to slowly store ice.

That's right, he will discuss it with his brothers when he returns home. He believes that the brothers will definitely agree.

Luo Xu didn't know, he just brought up a topic casually, but it made Fifth Uncle's son and Luo Ming care about each other.

Luo Ze came back earlier than Uncle Fifth, after all, their house was closer, but when he came back, there were still ice cubes waiting for him to pick them back, so he just said a word, and went on picking ice cubes back.

Therefore, he didn't know that when Uncle Wu came back, he was stalked by his two cubs, and he directly talked about his idea of ​​freezing ice cubes at home.

Of course, they didn't say that they didn't want to come out to work, but they used their grandmother as an excuse. Sure enough, just as they thought, as long as the grandmother was brought out to talk about things, Uncle Wu would have no idea at all.

"I'll talk to your grandma about this matter when I go back first. If she agrees, then we'll freeze the ice cubes at home."

The ice cellar in Uncle Wu's house is not that big, and the small one is just for family companions. He doesn't have little females in his family, and he doesn't need to care about females from other families.

Therefore, the ice cellar is not that big, and there is no need for that.

freezer?
Uncle Wu thinks that, except for winter, in other seasons, as long as there is no shortage of prey outside, it is impossible for him to make his partner hungry. At that time, he can satisfy his partner with fresh meat.

There are fresh meat to eat, whoever eats frozen meat, it looks like it is fresh, it is not the same day.

In Uncle Wu's view, freezing is the period before winter comes, and fresh meat needs to be stored for winter.

But at that time, the availability of fresh meat was limited, and all kinds of bacon, dried meat, and cured meat were not delicious?
Frozen meat, in the early stage, or throughout the winter, it is enough to eat a little occasionally.Besides, doesn't the tribe have such a big ice cellar?

The frozen fresh meat in it is distributed to the clansmen in winter, and the amount is enough, even if you don’t store it at home, it’s okay.

In summary, this ice cellar does not need to be built so large.

And those who think the same as him, are almost all orcs and females of his age, only young people, with high spirits, many ideas, big ambitions, and at the same time have a heart for comparison.

Therefore, whether it is a cellar or an ice cellar at home, it can be built as big as it can be built, and it is also a point that attracts the attention of young females.

far away.

Uncle Wu said good-bye to his sons and went down the mountain with ice cubes. When he came back again, he brought good news to the two sons of the family.

It was also at this time that Luo Ze knew what happened before.

"Hey, do you want to freeze ice cubes in your own home? That's also very good."

Luo Ze denied it at home because he felt it was unnecessary, but it didn't mean that he thought this method was bad or not advisable. Uncle Wu said that he wanted to freeze ice cubes at home, so he thought it was very good.

Besides, he just heard that fifth uncle also wanted to find something for aunt to do, so that aunt would not be too bored because she had nothing to do, and she could play in the snow a little bit.

"Haha, I think it's pretty good, but as I said before, the two of us need to help each other, so we don't want to go down the mountain now, and wait until the river is dug!"

Uncle Wu patted Luo Ze's shoulder very loyally, and then took a big knife to cut the ice cubes on the ground.

These ice cubes are all directly frozen by the river water, or mountain spring water, not to mention how clean it is, when they are taken back, they are all used for eating, so they will not put back whatever they have stepped on.

Luo Ze wanted to say no, since he decided to go back to freeze the ice cubes, he should go back. They didn't give up much ice cubes before, and they took advantage of each other.

However, Uncle Wu is a relatively stubborn person. Since he said that he wanted to help each other dig out the ice together, he would definitely finish the work here.

It didn't matter, Luo Ze just let him go.

However, after that, Uncle Wu obviously seldom carried ice cubes back home, so it was just a matter of meaning, and after carrying so many loads, the time to go back and forth was lengthened again and again.

This clearly shows that they are going to help them with work, which makes Luo Ze very embarrassed. He only thinks that later, when Uncle Wu needs help, he will lend a helping hand.
