Wolf King

Xiao Yun came to the fourth winter in a different world. The biggest difference from last winter was that the sweet potatoes could be opened for consumption.

The potatoes and sweet potatoes that I started trying to plant last year are all growing well, and they are well-drained in the field and fed with enough fertilizer. Although the grown stems do not have the tens of thousands of output on the earth, the yield per mu can be maintained at about 3,000 kg; In connection with the expansion of the cultivated area, Xiao Yun installed both crops in the cellar, and changed the taste to the guys every ten and a half days before pulling them out, but did not open them to supply.

The potatoes and sweet potatoes cultivated this year are bolder than last year... Xiao Yun planted two rounds each.

The first round of alfalfa was planted at the same time, and the third crop of alfalfa was harvested before harvesting. The output of this round of spring potatoes and spring sweet potatoes was pretty good, with an average yield of 3000 kg to 3500 kg per mu; the second round was harvested with soybeans Autumn potatoes and autumn sweet potatoes are out. Due to the short growth cycle and low output in this round, the average yield per mu is only about 2,000 kg.

The yield per mu is not high, but we have a lot of land. The good level land is used to grow potatoes and sweet potatoes, and it is also planted twice a year. This combined annual output is naturally quite amazing... I have been too busy to work on this piece, and it has entered the winter. The work density is not so high, and the potatoes and sweet potatoes stuffed in the warehouse cellar will naturally come to show their charm.

The first snow this winter is heavier than in previous years. I fell asleep overnight. The bottom half of the board was blocked by the snow, and the goose feathers were still drifting; such a weather Xiao Yun couldn’t be more cruel. When you rush out to work, it is natural to put on a "snowy holiday", and the tribes who can easily take a day off cheer, wrap themselves in cotton sweaters, sweaters and pants, and then rush out to sweep the snow and play with the animal skin; Xiao Yun shook his head, Turned around... I summoned the canteen chef team and the Dashui team to start processing sweet potato flour.

In general, homemade sweet potato flour is best made before and after frosting in autumn, but it was not busy at that time...it will not delay when it is snowing:

First, grind the sweet potato stems, burn the ready-made snow to wash the sweet potatoes, cut them into pieces and grind them in a stone mill.

The small six hundred mouths in the tribe have to do everything they want to do, saying that they produce their own digestion, and the one-time sweet potato powder has to be calculated according to ten thousand pounds...Fortunately, this plant is gratifying per mu, even if it is only planted. The annual output of 300 acres of land is also a few hundred thousand pounds, which can be a casualty.

It's not easy to grind so many sweet potatoes. It's hard to run in and out to make everyone sweat, and it's only when the sky is dark.

The next step is to filter out the starch from the grated sweet potatoes. The easiest way is to use gauze to rinse with water, filter the remaining sweet potato pieces and cook sweet potato rice and wheat porridge at night...

Starch water is put into a container and allowed to stand overnight, and it settles to the bottom. The surface water is poured out, the starch is shoveled out, packed in baskets or dustpans and dried on the kang in each room. It is almost dry and you can start making sweet potato flour.

Hmm... Xiao Yun intercepted some dried sweet potato starch during this period and set aside to make sugar.

The sweet potato starch is battered with water and put into a scoop-shaped container with a round hole pierced at the bottom. It is placed next to a large stove that is boiled with boiling water, holding a scoop in one hand and thumping in the other. The starch batter in the scoop is forced from the hole Zhongru slides down linearly, falls into boiling water and cooked, and cooks into a deep red color; then remove the cooked vermicelli, put it in snow water with ice cubes (clear water is also OK) to cool, hang it to dry... Live together.

Of course, you can’t let it dry outside, the snow is still falling, or you can not cool in the kang room, then the fans will stick together and become a dough; if you think about it, Xiao Yun simply pushes the fan’s shelf first. After arriving at the shelter, the shelter was cold and clear, and then moved to the unburned room, opened the door to dry in the air... Even the sticky ones can't control so much, just leave the difference.

The first snow had not stopped for a week, and Xiao Yun also took people to consume more than one hundred thousand pounds of sweet potatoes, and made more than 20,000 pounds of sweet potato powder... Fans are still drying. It's so greasy enough for everyone, but they don't want to take it to feed the pigs. The cafeteria has to develop ways to fry the dough, press it into cakes, or roast or fry...

Before the sweet potato powder was dried, Xiao Yun also made the sweet potato powder sugar...the method is the same as maltose, the fresh two-leaf malt issued in the greenhouse is chopped, and the sweet potato starch is used in a ratio of 1:1.5 Dissolve, then mix in the chopped fresh malt in a ten to one ratio, pour four to five times the water and cook thoroughly.

After cooking, the potato flour malt milk is annealed and cooled to about 50 degrees Celsius. Then add the fresh malt chopped in the same proportion as the blend. After standing for two hours, the surface of the water appears, then boil it, boil it, filter it with a cloth, and the filtrate is Sugar liquid: The sugar liquid is boiled on fire, and the water is dried in about four hours, and the resulting sugar is extremely sugar.

The advantage of maltose made from sweet potato starch is that it can be formed into a semi-solid after drying water, not a liquid that is easy to deteriorate; and it can be processed again on the basis of the original sugar, such as boiling the sugar liquid and cooling it until it is not hot. Add cooked beans Powder or orange peel powder, dipped in a round bar and pulled, like a ramen, pull the sugar body into white, cut with a knife, that is, a white sugar block, and pull the sugar body into a silk, that is, sugar silk.

You can also add fried popcorn, fried soybeans, fried pine nuts, dried fruit, etc. that are heavy with sugar, etc., flatten the cut pieces with a wooden board, that is, cut...Uh...um...

"Chopped cake shouldn't be done like this, it's still called sugar cutting." Xiao Yun looked at the big sugar cut in the palm of his hand, thundered the name that just popped out of his brain, and handed the sugar cut to the side. The horns slobbering.

The hands of the horns took the sugar cut with pine nuts, fried rice, dried fruit, and pressed pieces, swallowed the saliva, put the sugar on the chopping board, cut a corner with a knife, and threw it into the mouth. The sugar was caught in the bark pocket on the belt.

"Keep it for later?" Xiao Yun amused him.

"Leave the ball a little." The horns happily bulged the cheeks, naturally.

"..." Xiao Yun stared at Xionggui's physique seriously, "I remember the ball is male, male. Even if he is not male, neither of you is suitable for this model."

Horns: "??"

"Ayun~~ The vermicelli is dry, can you eat it?" Dahe rushed into the room, and as soon as he entered the door, he smelled the sweetness of the room. Looking at the large pieces of sugar that had not been cut on the desk, Immediately pointed angrily, "Ah, you carry me delicious!"

"How to say, what is carrying you, just now I said that the fastest person to help personally slipped?!" Xiao Yun was not happy.

"You didn't tell me that you're going to make sugar again!" Dahe was very straightforward and wanted to grab sugar before he rushed to the desk.

"Shrink your hands!" Xiao Yun slapped Dahe's claws away with a slap. "This candy is to be issued as a reward. You have no share."

"Then he?!" Dahe Sen pointedly pointed at the horns of the cheeks.

"Bullhorn." Xiao Yun leaned his head.

"Hmm!" The horns slobbered and said sternly, "Dahe, no laborers can't eat, you run away, you can't eat."

Dahe's mouth was crooked...

Let the horns take the big river out, Xiao Yun picked up a square kitchen knife specially made by the gray dwarves, and the Chinese felt combat power +5 as soon as they got it. The brush cut the pressed sugar into pieces.

In the same words, snacks are the best incentive mechanism when there is no currency circulation inside. Wired silk sugar and white sugar cubes are good performance awards, and complex and rich flavored sugar cuts are excellent awards. Stupid, do your best to work hard, and give a good score is not too much, if Dahe, just give the two sugar cubes, how handsome, there is no special treatment here in Xiao Yun~!

"Come on, ball, this is your share."

The small six hundred people are divided into 30 learning groups, and under the leadership of the old people in the group, they learn to read and count words. Qiu Zheng and a group of new people are struggling to read words and sentences in the burnt room, and Xiao Yun is carrying a basket When he walked in, he grabbed a large slap of sugar and stuffed it with him.

"Huh, is this new sugar?" Qiu turned the sugar cuts over and over again. The snow werewolf's slap was almost the same as his palm. This is the first time in such a large sugar tribe.

"Yes, it's called sugar cutting, and the taste is verified by the horns. It's very good." Xiao Yun looked at the autumn learning group with a smile, found the goal, and walked over to pass the sugar. "You are a small flower pair, you also have this excellent award."

"Oh, thank you." Xiaohua was flattered and took the sugar happily.

Xiao Yun found two people who sent sugar, namely the gray dwarf Sally and a cheetah. After four people finished sending, he pulled out the list and glanced... Lifting his feet out of the eyes of the others.

"Wait, Ayun? Is it finished?" Qiu was startled.

"Yes, excellent awards, there are talents with outstanding performance." Xiao Yun smiled particularly kindly. "Don't worry about other people, people in the cafeteria will give out sugar after the good award."

The hearts of the four people who received the sugar cuts were a little bit cool...but the majority of them did not receive them, and they were embarrassed to be overjoyed.

Only sixty-two of the six hundred small people received the award for excellence. This is still Xiao Yun’s relaxation of the standard of excellence: he usually works hard and diligently, and he has a good learning attitude and significant progress after the snowfall. The focus is on learning. With a correct attitude, listen to the story and concentrate on it.

Rosemary’s study group struggled to learn literacy for an afternoon. At lunch, Qingyan, who brought the group, just said that the big guy would sweep away the snow on the road and roof and start to eat. Rosemary flew out immediately House-Compared to painfully repeating last year's study of hell, he really loves death!

Then...when sweeping the snow and going to the canteen to pick up the food distributed by the group, Dahe, who distributed the food, gave them expressionlessly a plate of twenty white sugar lumps of finger size and waved them away.

"Wait, what about sugar? What about a big piece of sugar?! I see Qingyan!" Rosemary hurriedly gestured with her hands.

"You asked me?" Dahe squinted.

"Otherwise?" Rosemary is very iron.

"None of me! You still asked me to ask!" Dahe ran away immediately, took a small piece of white sugar from his pocket and squeezed it with his fingers to Rosemary's face. "Look, I can only get it. This! This!"

The horns stretched out his arms to lock Dahe's neck back and dragged him back. Qingyan also frowned and pulled Rosemary: "It's done, don't be embarrassed, other people in the group are watching..."

The lunch of the day was sweet potato flour. Each study group received a large bucket of fans, a big pottery pottery bowl, a half-pottery oil chili oil residue meat whistle, and two pottery pot vegetable soup.

The hot sweet potato powder was scooped with a spoonful of oil chili whistle and two spoonfuls of vegetable soup. It was a pleasant heart and soul, and the indignant rosemary forgot the other for a time.

In the afternoon, the snow was a little smaller, and all the groups that had been studying in the room for a morning were able to release them. The snow removal should be responsible for the daily tasks; the rosemary "hey hey hey" cleaned the pig The circle and the sheep trough changed the feed, wiped the sweat, and suddenly remembered something, jumped to Qingyan and shook his hands with shaking: "Qingyan, such a big piece of sugar, so big..."

Qing Yan: "..." He didn't want to strangle this snow leopard at this moment, just wanted to strangle the leopard fishbone that stuffed rosemary with him.

In a united, intense and lively learning atmosphere, a few more days passed. The first snow, which was amazing from the amount of snowfall to the duration, was finally willing to stop. The snow outside the sheepfold was high enough to block the wind from the sheep. Extent... If it weren't for the manpower to clean up from time to time, this year's snow could not cover the flock.

Zebra Leopard Summer, after the rise of the tribal labor force, remixed back to the position of the group leader. After studying for one morning, he took the people in the labor group to climb up and down to clear the snow on the top of the glass shed and allow the crops in the greenhouse to accept Sunshine; this job can only be done by cats. They are light-handed and flexible, and can better avoid damage to the roof when removing snow. If the glass on the roof is frozen and cracked, they can also be replaced in time.

After a year of hard work in the Snow Wolf tribe, Xia's temperament has changed a lot. At least he will not show his imagination on the bright side as before. When he leads the group, he will know that he will be responsible for the affairs. Priority is placed in front of personal emotions and positions; this is not to say that the self-interested part of Xia’s character is worn away, how can a person’s character be so easily changed, but he clearly knows that he wants To be respected in the tribe, you must have the ability to take the lead in doing things.

Compared with ability and attitude, "identity" is nothing - now there are seven "patriarchs" in the tribe, soldiers are so cheap, Xia has no conditions and no psychological advantages to continue to hold the status of the past. put.

Among the cats, he is the strongest one, but there are too many Snow Werewolves who are stronger than him... this psychological advantage can't be established.

The so-called unbreakable and unresolved, after the original idea was smashed, Xia instead adapted to the life in the tribe-after receiving education, he already understood that ambition and other things without the ability to match it are a joke, so he learned to The ambition is hidden.

After cleaning up more than ten vegetable greenhouses arranged in two rows, the summer team also has to take care of the growth of the crops in the greenhouses... The vegetable fields are originally under the management of the second-level labor force. Good hands.

After spending the whole afternoon in the shed area, the sky was dark, and Xia's group returned to the living area tiredly. They returned to each house to take hot water to wash their hands and feet, replaced shoes that were frozen like ice cubes, and sat on the kang. Tone-The temperature in the greenhouse is about 20 degrees Celsius, which is not freezing, but the road from the greenhouse to the living area is enough to freeze the face of the person. The night temperature on the grassland is lower than the daytime, and the water splashes into ice Not kidding.

"There is also powder tonight!"

The person who was in the same room to pick up the food spewed steam into the door and happily put the big barrel of sweet potato powder next to the stove: "Come and get the bowl, how many whistle to add."

"Today's snacks or sugar cubes? Don't you have the big chunks of sugar last time?"

"Where will the Excellence Awards be issued every day, let's say you didn't have any good ones!"

"Xia has a share! Yes, Xia, the big sugar cube last time, Ayun sent it to you."

Xia turned her head and smiled, not speaking... Of course, he was a bit complacent in his heart. After all, he and the other golden cat received the special big piece of cut sugar in the more than twenty cat families in the same room.

The cat chow's food is only three to one-quarter of that of the snow werewolf. A room-sized cat chow is fed with a bucket of powder. After drinking the hot and fragrant sugar at the bottom of the bowl, a group of cats lazily slumps on the kang and rubs their belly.

"Xia, you know the most words and read stories to us." A young snow leopard slapped a few rolls on the kang, leaned beside Xia, stretched his tongue to lick Xia Xia's face.

"Yes, what do you read?" Xia imitated the smiling face that A Yun often held, and was very kind.

"I want to hear ghost stories. Where is the bark of ghost stories?"

"Huh, no, I want to hear Princess Mermaid~"

"Ghost story, ghost story!"

"It's okay, read one first and read one later." Xia smiled and took a stack of bark paper from the roommate, turned to a page of ghost stories, and began to read, "There is a traveler in the western part of the human kingdom. Passing by a small town..."

Xia Nian had two stories, and the cats in the same room had almost digested. They all got up to the big stove to take salt water and rinse their mouths, holding the blanket to sleep. Xia gave the Kang head to the cub, and at the position where he was sleeping on the Kang tail, he just dragged the blanket and someone knocked on the door.

"Xia, haven't you slept?" Hongye moved the door and lifted the hide curtain to walk in, waving towards Xia, "put on your clothes and come to the activity room."

"Hongye, what's the matter?" Xia quickly lifted the blanket and sat up.

"Come and see." Hongye squeezed his eyes at him.

Xia put on the sweater and trousers she had just taken off, wrapped in animal skin and wore shoes under the kang, and followed Hongye to the activity room. As soon as she entered the door, she found that many people were already sitting in the house.

"Work meeting?" Xia heart moved, followed Hongye into the process of sitting down and looked around, but found that it was not a work meeting, because the seven patriarchs including him were not all there, and the warriors of all races Only a small half.

"Did I say that when I didn't know, the tribe actually organized many such meetings that were not open to people?" Xia didn't have anything unusual on the surface. The hand on his knee when sitting cross-legged couldn't help but hold it...he chose Hiding himself does not mean that he can accept that he is excluded from the decision-making layer of the tribe, and he can control his anger and invisibility. It has been enough education this year, and he has practiced it.

"Hongye, what did you call us to come here so late?"

Xia, who was secretly annoyed, heard Qiu's question and couldn't help but stunned. Tu Hao had a special "status" in the tribe. He knew that the most obvious thing was that "tribal shared enterprise" Mid-Autumn Festival was the only racial leader except the Snow Wolf . Even Qiu asked in this way, is it because he misunderstood?

"Everyone is here."

Xia Zheng was puzzled, and Ayun lifted the heavy curtain with a smile and walked in. He took off his shoes on the rattan mat at the door and walked to the carpet to sit down.

"I asked Hongye and Maomao to call everyone. The purpose of calling everyone is to give everyone a night class." Xiao Yun put a stack of bark paper full of text in front of him, and looked at everyone kindly. , Explained patiently, "The daytime study is a literacy course for everyone, and the evening class at night is a further upgrade education. It is only for those who can keep up with the progress of the study. It will be promoted later if conditions permit. ."

"Education at this level is divided into three parts: social economy, ideology and politics, and primary arithmetic. Each class takes one class each night, and each class is divided into three classes. One class teaches a big class..."

"Ayun, don't we all count?" Qiu had discovered that the people who had been called were all good students from various groups and asked curiously.

"Hehe... that's just basic mathematics for literacy. If you can do arithmetic problems, I dare not say I can do all of them. This part of the primary arithmetic we will learn next is the level that Bark learned in the first half of the year... Xiao Yun explained with a smile.

The blue fruits, red leaves, grass roots and others of Balke's degree of training are slightly changed.

"The first lesson we will take first is to learn socioeconomics. This is the simplest and easiest to understand in elementary education. It also gives everyone a little time to adapt to the elementary course. For teaching cases, we use our tribes and forest elves. 1. The business of the St. Bridge business group as an example. Why should a certain commodity be sold at this price, what does the circulation of a certain commodity mean to both parties to the transaction, and what are the benefits, starting today, we will come a little bit To understanding."

"First of all, the first product we come to know is the canned fruit we made."

"Do business to calculate the cost first. What is the cost of canned fruit? Fruits and glass cans. There are two sources of fruit. They are exchanged with the forest elves. We collect them on the grassland and the edge of the forest. The source of canned food is Burnt out of the quartz stones dug by the goblins, the raw materials and coal consumed by the firing are self-produced. The time taken from the glass bottle to the kiln firing to the glass liquid moulding is..."

"Comprehensively calculated, the workload of glass bottle sintering and sealing is equivalent to that of fruit collection, washing, sugar and foaming, and the labor cost is..."

"The first batch of canned fruit produced was exchanged with the forest elves, and the cans of not less than 50% of the content and the total weight of three pounds were exchanged for ten pounds of fresh fruit. We are not responsible for transportation, so the gross profit of this transaction is... "

"The second batch of canned fruit trades with the trade group, the price is... gross profit is... net profit is... combined, the income from canned fruit is..."

The people in this room can be said to be the essence of the grassland people-people like Dahe who have empty intelligence and lack of perseverance can't mix in-no one has a IQ or a flaw; although Ayun said first The lesson "Social Economy" is the easiest, and these people did not take it lightly, and listened very carefully. After all, Ayun did not dig holes for everyone once or twice...

But even if he was so psychologically prepared, within a few minutes of A Yun’s lecture, everyone still showed a sad expression—you call it the simplest and easiest to understand? !
