"I only have some dried meat left, and the last two halves of pig's trotters."
"Tomorrow's time can't all be used to make pillows, and half a day must be allocated to find food."
"And you have to get up early tomorrow."
Mu Qing took the alarm clock and set it to six o'clock.
I took the bamboo tube to the camp to get some water, peeled off two small bamboo shoots brought back, and cut them into shreds with banana leaves.
The stove was lit up, and a little lard was poured into it.
When the oil is slightly hot, pour the shredded bamboo shoots into it and stir-fry a few times quickly, then pour the water in the bamboo tube into it and burn it.
Take off half of the pig's trotter, put it in the pot and cook together.
"There is still some pork leg sliced in the afternoon, which should be enough for the king to eat tomorrow."
"Leave the remaining half of the pig's trotter to the king. These lean meat jerky are enough for me to eat for two days."
"There are also two dried bamboo rats, and the food is quite sufficient."
"There is no more meat. I still have a lot of cassava, which is enough for me to find new food."
Mu Qing counted them carefully with his fingers, and finally gave himself a pep talk.
"I dug up cassava and caught a little wild boar, so I lived a good life without worrying about food and drink for a while."
"This has caused my whole sense of crisis to drop, and I always feel that I still have a lot of food."
Untie the three pieces of pork leg and put them in the place where the king is fed.
Muqing pulled a section of new bamboo from the edge, cut it into three pieces and split it into strips, and sat down to start weaving things.
【Master Mu is so warm, I have no meat to eat, and I still think about the king first. 】
[Hey, I am actually envious of the little wild cat all the time. 】
[That's not an ordinary little wild cat, it's a super cute tiger-striped leopard cat, maybe it's a little leopard. 】
[Tiger-striped leopard cat, the last word clearly indicates that this is a cat. 】
[Panda: Meow? 】
[Master Mu is too exaggerated, right?When there is so much food, I start to worry, and some people don't know where the next meal will be. 】
After the bamboo shoots were cooked, Muqing wove two things out of bamboo.
One looks like a larger pair of tweezers.
It's a bit like an extended version, a girl's eyebrow curler.
There is a small hook at the end of the tweezers, which can be used to hook things on in addition to clamping.
The other one looks nothing special, just a deepened plate.
"Okay, I'll use these two things to catch brook fish tomorrow."
"I suddenly thought of it just now, no matter it's a little leopard or a kitten, the king can't get away from being a feline."
"I can leave some small fish for it tomorrow, it should like it."
Set the bamboo tweezers and deep dish aside.
Muqing grabbed some hydrochloric acid fruits and put them into the clay pot where the food had been cooked.
Let the simmering pot cook for another 2 minutes to bring out the marinara flavor.
Mu Qing put the pot on the table and took a sip of the soup.
"It's not bad. With the addition of oil and jerky, the soup tastes quite sweet."
"It's too rich to eat in the morning, so I eat a little more in the evening."
It was too hot to eat in a clay pot, so Muqing took some of the food out of the pot and put it in a clay bowl to let it cool.
"This pottery bowl is still too small. If you want to use this pot to order something else after cooking soup, you have to take out both the pottery bowl and the bamboo bowl."
"If I knew it earlier, I wouldn't have left the hot pot bowls in the camp. When I want to bring them, I can stack them and put them in a pottery pot."
After drinking the soup, wash the pots and bowls.
Mu Qing took half a pot of water and boiled it on the stove.
By the light of the fire, find a log from the firewood pile on one side.
Looking left and right, use your thumb and forefinger to form a circle and measure the circumference of the ends of the wood.
"Accidentally found a suitable piece of wood, which was straight and almost the same size at both ends."
"I'm about to use it to make a spindle for the plantain fibers tomorrow."
[Spinning the spindle? 】
[Yes, Spindle, is there a problem? 】
【Master Mu is not good enough, he can weave cloth, right? 】
[It’s not surprising that you can make traps, build houses, weave things, and make wool. 】
[I don't know how many surprises you have. 】
[Master upstairs, you took the wrong script. 】
"I know a little bit about weaving."
"But there is no professional equipment here, and I don't have the conditions to make a wilderness loom."
"Making a spindle is also a simpler version, it just allows me to make the plantain fiber into 'wool' a little faster."
Mu Qing laughed and chose a thinner, same very straight wooden stick.
Bring them to the table and sit.
First take out the thicker wooden sticks, cut off some of the wood at both ends, and polish them on the table to be smooth.
Peel off the bark of the tree and rinse it under clean water.
"Look, after peeling off the bark, this stick is very smooth."
