Ordinary days in another world

Chapter 9

When Jiang Xia woke up early in the morning, the sky was already bright outside the house. Due to the lighting, the bedroom was still dark. Jiang Xia, who didn't know what eve it was, stretched her waist, took a deep breath, and ruled out other factors. People like it.

After walking out of the room, Jiang Xia realized that she seemed to have woken up a bit late.On the wooden pier used as a table in the living room, there is a barbecue in a ceramic bowl. The meat is freshly roasted, and the burnt aroma can be smelled from a long distance. It seems that Ares got up very early.Jiang Xia was a little embarrassed, so she simply cleaned up and filled her stomach with hot water. Jiang Xia felt that she should go to Qiqi immediately, because she desperately needed someone to teach her some common sense of life.

Standing in the yard, Jiang Xia was a little confused. People who have no sense of direction really have difficulty walking an inch. Maybe they won't be able to come back when they go out.While hesitating, Ares walked into the courtyard door carrying the whole animal leg.

"What are you doing standing here?"

"I want to go and see Qiqi," Jiang Xia's eyes lit up thinking that the person in front of him must know where Qiqi's home is, "Do you know where Qiqi lives? I want to chat with him."

"Are you looking for Qiqi now?" Ares smiled ambiguously, Jiang Xia didn't know why.

"Do you think everyone else is like you? You'll find it, and Frode will take you out...and Qiqi probably doesn't have the energy to chat with you right now." After finishing speaking, she ignored her and packed up her lunch.

... Responding to what Ares meant, Jiang Xia blushed, this guy...

The round deer is the main source of food for the orcs. Not only is the meat delicious, but the fur also has many uses.Now is the active season for deer herds, and the tribe's hunting team hunted the round deer the most.What Ares brought back was a whole round deer leg, and he planned to roast this for lunch at noon.When Jiang Xia walked into the house again, Ares was breaking down the deer legs, and the chunks of venison were placed in a large clay pot.

Ares didn't mention it, Jiang Xia just pretended that she wasn't the one who said something stupid just now, and walked to Ares's side as if nothing had happened. "Is there anything I can do to help?" She was trying to do something without looking completely free.

"Have you ever grilled meat at home?" Although Ares didn't think the little female could do a good job as an orc, he didn't want to refuse too directly.

"No, but I can learn. Should these meat be marinated with salt?" Jiang Xia asked tentatively, it should be the same as kebabs.Ares on the opposite side raised his head in disbelief and forgot about her, "Then I'll skewer these meat..." Jiang Xia's voice became softer and quieter under Ares' gaze as if seeing an idiot. Emboldened.

What a precious thing salt is in the tribe. He has done bacon, but that is only during the snow season. The heavy snow makes hunting difficult. In order to have enough food in winter, a lot of salt will be spent to marinate the meat , easy to store.Now marinating the meat, is there too much salt?Ares began to wonder if he had made a mistake in finding such a partner!
Facing the suspicious eyes of the other party, Jiang Xia's little awkwardness started to show up again, not because she was an idiot, but because she had never been here before, how could she know what she said wrong again, Jiang Xia justified herself in her heart.

"Forget it, you go outside and light the fire." For the sake of his own lunch, Ares felt that he should keep his partner away from the venison he brought back.After thinking about it, he added a sentence that made Jiang Xia want to cry, "You should just sit and wait for the food, I'll do it myself."

Although the peacock still gave her face today and didn't say anything too much, Jiang Xia felt that she was despised from the inside out, and the white tiger obviously disliked her. .Also, is she a pig?Just had breakfast and lunch again!
As the number one warrior of the tribe, in addition to his superb hunting skills and commanding ability, his barbecue skills are also top-notch, especially Ares is an orc who never likes to wrong himself, and he has already mastered the skill of barbecue .At least Jiang Xia has a deep understanding of this point. Whether it was last night or just now, it really takes talent to roast the meat with only salt and vanilla powder until it is so tender, juicy, and scorched.

Ares couldn't hear the praise in Jiang Xia's heart, and now he was focusing on the barbecue.In the morning, there was only a small amount of meat left at home. He was busy registering what the tribe was going to bring to Andong these days. He had no time to hunt at all, and the food was collected directly from the tribe.The piece of barbecue in the morning was not enough to fit between his teeth, and he was already hungry.

Quickly dividing the meat, dismantling the bones, skewering, flipping, and sprinkling salt powder, a series of actions flowed like clouds and water, which made Jiang Xia completely give up the idea of ​​learning to roast meat. She will not do better, although the venison has been carefully divided. But each piece was the size of an orc's fist, and there were four or five pieces on a wooden stick. Her thin arms were definitely not up to the job.

At lunch, Jiang Xia couldn't resist eating up two pieces of barbecue, and finally could only hang around in the yard to digest.The autumn sun shone warmly on his body, and occasionally a gust of wind blew by, bringing a bit of coolness, driving away the excess heat on his body, and making Jiang Xia want to sleep comfortably.

In the afternoon, Sandy took Binnie to their house to visit. Sandy must have something to discuss with Ares. Jiang Xia also found out from last night that the four orcs by their campfire should be trusted companions. That's why it's so close.However, Binnie's arrival made Jiang Xia happy from the bottom of her heart.Bin Ni is gentle and considerate, and the two quickly chatted together, and Jiang Xia took the opportunity to learn a lot about the situation in the tribe.

The two orcs were discussing important matters of the tribe.The market exchange to the Andong tribe this time will be the biggest exchange before their tribe enters winter.Ares needs to ensure the safe and smooth progress of the journey, and exchange as much supplies as possible for the tribesmen to survive the winter.Sandy is one of the orc guards on this trip, and his partner Binny will also be traveling with her. Jiang Xia was very interested when she heard about it. She should be able to learn a lot in such a trading place, and she can also observe along the way. What is the environment like here?Jiang Xia, who made up her mind, thought about how to persuade Ares to take her out together.

Ares, whom Jiang Xia cared about, was thinking about the same problem as her, but with the opposite purpose.Thinking that it will take at least 20 days for him to leave, the little female can't even start a fire by herself, so she will definitely not be able to survive, so she should be sent to Ai Wen for a temporary stay, after all, she is her mother-in-law, at least she won't be hungry .

Just do it when you think of it, Ares immediately told Jiang Xia the idea, "I will say hello to the patriarch and send your share of food to Father Awenmu on time, and I will hunt more prey for you in the next two days. In the clan." Jiang Xia has already learned about the distribution system of the tribe from Binny. There are special hunting teams in the tribe to hunt large animals for the tribe to distribute uniformly. Every adult orc has to join the hunting team, and they are divided into groups and time slots Go hunting.Females can also be collected within the residential area, but they do not need to be handed in, and all belong to the individual.In addition to the food allocated by the tribe, the food that the orcs obtained outside the hunting time of the hunting team belonged to themselves, and they could also exchange it with others. It was not strictly a big pot meal, Jiang Xia thought it was quite reasonable.

Stop, now is not the time to talk about this, thinking that Ares is going to send herself to Awen, Jiang Xia is anxious, she still has her own plan. "I won't go back, I want to go to Anton with you!" Ares' expression like a spring breeze just now turned cloudy, thinking of the orc's unpredictable temper, Jiang Xia hurriedly saved him, "We just became partners, and you are going to send him to Anton." I go back to Ewen, what will other females think of me?"

Ares's gloomy face was interrupted by Jiang Xia, and the atmosphere improved a bit, "Does it matter what other females think of you? What do they see you do? Qiqi will also stay, and you can keep each other company. This is The best way." The attitude of being so settled gave Jiang Xia a headache, she shouldn't use modern thinking on orcs, she was not in the same space at all.

"Qiqi needs to rest. I am in good health, and I can go on the road with you." Jiang Xia tried to persuade Ares through other means.

"Are you in good health?" Ares couldn't believe it. "If you are in good health, you could faint by the river. Your body is really healthy." When he said he was going to get up, he seemed determined to end the conversation.

"You said you wouldn't make me hungry. Are we going to separate when we just become partners?" Jiang Xia felt that she had abandoned her reserve in order to go out, and at the end of the sentence, she didn't dare to look directly at Ares. "You sent me to Ai Wen, we have to be apart for so long, I will miss you so much that I can’t eat, if I starve to death, you will become a person who breaks your promise, of course, I will not let you be like that Human. But can you have the heart to let me wait for you at home dying?"

Although he felt that the little female's imagination was too exaggerated, Ares subconsciously did not refute, "Stop talking, I let you stay for your own good, the journey to Anton is long and dangerous, and the female body can't bear it, it will be very hard. "

Jiang Xia, who noticed that the orc's thoughts were loose, secretly called Youmen, and hurriedly continued, "I'm not afraid of hardship, and Binny can go as a female. You are braver than his partner Sandy, and you will definitely protect me from any harm. Believe in you!" After finishing speaking, he stared at Ares with big expectant eyes, and there was as much admiration in his eyes as he wanted.

Facts have proved that not only big cats need to be smoothed, but peacocks also like to be smoothed. The result of Jiang Xia's hard work is that Ares agrees without difficulty, "You can follow me if you want to, you have to listen to me in everything, don't Get me in trouble."

Jiang Xia nodded again and again, as for what she was thinking in her heart, she didn't know.
