Happy Primitive Life [ Danmei MTL ]

27| Death

In the morning, Xu Fei and Na Gu discussed making two large wooden buckets to store water. 

It is not easy to turn a piece of wood into a wooden barrel, but there is a sticky tree, a cheat that can stick everything, so there is no need to find a way to circle the barrel.

Because the sticky tree must be used now, Xu Fei drew the rough shape of the wooden barrel to Na Gu, and delegated this important task to the big man.

There are a lot of chili and ginger in the house, and they all need to be dealt with.

After Na Gu left, Xu Fei took two baskets of chili and ginger to the side of the stream and washed them, and then hung them on the treetops to drain the water, otherwise they would easily rot.

When the water was all drained, Xu Fei picked out some old ginger from the basket that contained ginger, soaked it in salt water, and prepared it to dry for a while.

The peppers are reserved for ten stir-fry, and the rest Xu Fei intends to make pickles. 

Without scissors, he would cut with his own fang knife.

Xu Fei always picks some big, full-bodied red peppers, which are more crispy when pickled and have a good taste. As for ginger, he picks only the small ones and pickles the tender ginger that will fall off.

Pickling vegetables is not an easy job, especially pickling such pungent ginger and peppers. 

Without gloves, Xu Fei's hands were hot red in a short while, numb and painful.

Xu Fei marinated a small pot of pure chili and a pot of ginger, and most of the rest was mixed and marinated together. 

If there is sugar and vinegar, he can also make sweet and sour ginger, which Bai would like to eat.

When Na Gu returned with the finished wooden barrel, Xu Fei was packing the jar. This time, hr didn't pay attention to so many wooden barrels. Xu Fei was afraid that the round barrel would not be easy to make, so he directly drew a design drawing of the square barrel.

Although the square bucket does not hold as much water as the round bucket, the two of them don't need much water a day.

"What's wrong with the hands?" Na Gu found Xu Fei's hands were red and swollen as soon as he came back. He held Xu Fei's hand distressedly and looked closer.

"It's okay, it's hot with pepper." Xu Fei is a man, this pain is nothing at all. He wanted to withdraw his hand, but the big man refused.

Na Gu took Xu Fei to the side of the barrel, grabbed his arm and pressed Xu Fei's two hands into the cold water.

The cold stream is very icy and the hands are red and swollen, but a good basin of water is so wasted.

"Wait," Na Gu looked at Xu Fei's face with a comfortable expression, and ran outside again. But he came back in a while, bringing a few triangular green fruits.

Xu Fei looked at the big man confusedly, and saw that Na Gu crushed a few fruits directly, and transparent mucus immediately leaked out of them. He carefully touched both of Xu Fei's hands.     

The thing looked disgusting, and it quickly absorbed when applied to the hand, as if it had formed a transparent protective film. 

Originally it was a bit spicy and felt a cool feeling, but it didn't hurt for a while.     

Na Gu lowered his head and licked Xu Fei's fingers, and then said relievedly.

"It's not spicy anymore."
