Chapter 892: Ancient Farming by Internet Celebrities (26)
This terrain is a plain, still far away from the mountains. Kun did not hunt any meat. Kun caught a hare, and Dashan led three archers to shoot down a lone wild duck.
So many people obviously don’t have enough points, I can only say it is better than nothing.
Fortunately, it was only the first day and I had enough food. Dashan brought out some dried meat strips and grilled naan bread made from acorn powder, while Kun Ze brought out a piece of leg meat from yesterday's hunt. It had been left out overnight. It wasn't considered fresh anymore, but the weather turned cold, so it wasn't bad at all. Roast it over the fire until you are full.
When you go out, you should maintain sufficient physical strength. Unless you really can't hunt anything to eat, you will not let yourself go hungry.
They didn’t know that what Xu Yin was sharing was the meat of water animals. When they saw it, they had something to eat, and it smelled very fragrant. They were very happy: "Thank you, great witch!"
The charcoal-grilled fish, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, tantalized the taste buds of the four people in Dashan:
“What kind of meat is this? It’s so delicious!”
“I’ve never tasted such delicious meat.”
“I haven’t eaten it either.”
Alieh, Ah Chun and Ah Xia were dumbfounded: Did you act in Dashan? It's too good a performance, isn't it? Ke Kun and the others also ate, so they wouldn't just follow Dashan and pretend, right?
When tearing off a piece of fish meat, it accidentally fell on her hollow clothes. Xu Yin picked it up and ate it herself, nodding with satisfaction: "It's not bad, my craftsmanship is not good."
Seeing that Ariel and the others were still stunned, she asked casually: "Aren't you hungry yet? Come over and eat."
…”
The three people in Ariel looked at each other: Did the Great Witch eat just now? Why didn't she throw up?
They took the fish meat that Xu Yin gave them with suspicion and took a small bite carefully. The next second, the three of them stared in disbelief: Is this water animal meat? Are you kidding me? How come there is such delicious water animal meat?
Unconsciously, I asked the confusion in my heart: "Great witch, why is your roasted water animal meat so delicious?"
“Pfft!” Dashan almost spit out the fish meat in his mouth, “What? Is this water animal meat?”
Kun and the others were also stunned on the spot.
The three people in Ariel had complicated expressions: It turns out you didn’t know this was water animal meat. No wonder you took it and ate it.
Xu Yin was almost full after eating half of the fish. She saw that they had hunted a rabbit and a wild duck, and started to make begging rabbits and ducks.
Get close to the river, dig out the mud at will, clean the rabbits and wild ducks, add salt and spices, wrap them in large wild vegetable leaves, wrap them in mud, and bury them in the bonfire.
People who are still discussing the deliciousness of grilled fish: “…”
Can this still be eaten?
Xu Yin used a branch to stir the campfire and answered them why the fish she grilled was not bitter:
“Cleaned fish will definitely taste delicious. If you think it’s bitter, it’s probably because the gall has been broken. Are the intestines and scales of the fish not cleaned either?”
Looking at the confused looks on their faces, you can tell that it must be what she said - they didn't clean the fish before eating it, and even broke the gall. How can it not be bitter?
After listening to the great witch’s explanation, everyone suddenly realized: So why are you so particular about eating water animal meat? It turns out that the water animal meat itself is not unpalatable, but is it because they didn’t process it well?
“Then I’ll catch some more edible water animals.” Ariel stood up.
He was worried that he would not be able to eat the animal meat made into mud **** by the great witch, so before it was completely dark, he would catch some water animals and bring them back to roast them and eat them. After eating grilled fish, I have no interest in other meats.
Xu Yin glanced at him with a smile but not a smile: "Let's try the beggar series first. If you want to eat more grilled fish on the road tomorrow."
Ariel had no choice but to sit back and looked at the mountain beside him: Can the mud dumplings be eaten? No matter how hungry I was, I never thought of eating mud.
Dashan was not as worried as he was: "I believe in the great witch."
It’s no use just believing. Don’t cry when you eat mud later.
Xu Yin thought it was almost done, so she dug out two mud dumplings.
Alieh closed his eyes in despair: He really wanted to eat mud. The next second, he heard a few "knock-knock" sounds. When he opened his eyes, he saw that the wizard had cracked two mud dumplings, and an overbearing aroma that was different from grilled fish came to his nostrils.
“Come and knock off the mud together, then you can eat it.”
Everyone rushed to knock out the dried mud.
The more mud you knock out, the stronger the aroma will be.
After the knocking was done, the vegetable leaves and leaves entangled with the vines were untied, and the tender rabbit and duck meat were revealed. Everyone was shocked:
“The animal meat in the mud dumplings is actually intact?”
"smell good!"
“It smells so good!”
It was more fragrant than grilled fish, so fragrant that their mouths watered.
“Let’s eat!”
Xu Yin took a stone knife and made several cuts so that everyone could tear it apart by hand.
She took a duck wing herself, but Ah Chun stuffed her into a rabbit leg.
“I have enough, you divide it.”
Everyone started to enjoy the meal.
In the next three days, we caught edible fish while on the road, and when we went ashore to rest, we hunted various small animal meats that could be used as beggar series. The food every night was grilled fish + beggar series, which made the group's mouths full of oil.
As they went down the river, there were more and more edible fish, and they couldn’t finish them all. Xu Yin taught them how to dry salted fish.
Anyway, there is a lot of salt to carry for trading. Use some to pickle fish, and the same goes for trading salted fish later.
Since Kun and the others didn't have that much salt on hand, Xu Yin said, "You can use the salt and just give some fish to our tribe later. We will trade the salt with you for fish."
Such a good thing?
Although there is less fish to eat, it is much easier than salt. They obviously make money from this business.
“Thank you so much, Great Witch! When we go back, we will send you a lot of fish.”
They also changed their name to fish. Those who eat people are still called water beasts, and those who can eat people are called fish.
In this way, walking forward, spearing fish, and grilling fish to make beggar meat is much more interesting than simply hunting and resting on foot.
However, on the sixth day, the river branched off, and the tributary leading to the trading point gradually became narrower. There were still rocks on the east and west of the river bed. Even though the bamboo raft was flat and flexible, it was often bumped into it and almost tipped over. Drag the bamboo raft to the shore, hide it in the lush weeds, and then carry the rattan basket on your back and walk.
The trading site is actually a central tribe traveling from south to north.
It is a little more developed than other tribes. Before winter, the surrounding small tribes are worried that they will not survive the winter, so they will bring some extra supplies and exchange them for things that their own tribe does not have. After going back and forth, such a market was formed.
“Great witch, put this on.”
Before entering the central tribe, Ah Chun took out the pheasant feather masks he had prepared in advance and gave one to each person.
The people from the Cross River tribe are also ready.
After putting it on, everyone’s faces were blocked by the colorful pheasant feathers. If they were not familiar with each other, they would not be able to identify who was who with just their eyes.
There were twenty-four people in their group, each carrying a large rattan basket on their shoulders and carrying many strange things in their hands. They walked together and chatted a few words from time to time. In the eyes of others, such a With so many people and so many supplies, I'm afraid it's a trading team sent by some big tribe.
