Chapter 891: Ancient Farming by Straw Internet Celebrities (26)
The terrain in this area is a plain, which is still far away from the mountains. I didn't hunt any animal meat. Kun caught a hare, and Dashan led three archers to shoot down a lone wild duck.
There are obviously not enough points for so many people, so it can only be said that it is better than nothing.
Fortunately, it was only the first day, and the food rations on his body were quite sufficient. Dashan brought out some dried meat strips and baked naan bread made from acorn powder, while Kun took a piece of animal leg meat from yesterday's hunt and left it there all night.
It's considered fresh, but as the weather turns colder, it's not bad. Just grill it over the fire and you'll be full.
When going out, everyone should maintain sufficient physical strength. Unless you really can't hunt anything to eat, you won't let yourself go hungry.
They didn't know that Xu Yin was sharing 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 either."
Ariel, Ah Chun, and Ah Xia were dumbfounded: Did you act Dashan? Your acting was too good, right? But Kun and the others also ate it, so they wouldn’t just follow Dashan and pretend?
When tearing off a piece of fish, it accidentally fell on her hollow clothes. Xu Yin picked it up and ate it herself, nodding with satisfaction: "It's not bad, the 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."
"..."
Ariel and the other three looked at each other: Did Dawu just eat? Why didn't she vomit?
Suspiciously, they took the fish meat Xu Yin gave them and carefully took a small bite. The next second, the three of them opened their eyes in disbelief: Is this water animal meat? Are you kidding me? Why is there such delicious water?
Animal meat?
Unknowingly, he asked the confusion in his 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 others were also stunned on the spot.
Ariel and the other three had complicated expressions: So you didn’t know this was water animal meat, so no wonder you took it and ate it.
Xu Yin was almost full after eating half of the fish. When she saw that they had hunted a rabbit and a wild duck, she started to make begging rabbits and begging ducks.
Close to the river, dig out the mud at will, clean the rabbits and wild ducks, apply salt, stuff them with spices, wrap them in large wild vegetable leaves, wrap them in mud, and bury them in the bonfire.
People 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. And the fish's intestines, aren't the scales clean?"
Judging from 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 explanation of the great witch, everyone suddenly realized: So why is eating water animal meat so particular? It turns out that the water animal meat itself is not unpalatable, but it is because they did not process it properly?
"Then I'll catch some more edible water animals." Ariel stood up.
He was worried that he wouldn't be able to eat the animal meat that had been made into mud dumplings by the great witch, so before it was completely dark, he would catch some water animals and roast them. After eating the grilled fish, he was no longer interested 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 he was, he never thought of eating mud dumplings before.
Dashan was not as worried as he was: "Believe in the great witch."
"..."
It's no use just believing. Don't cry when you eat the mud later. Xu Yin thought it was almost done and dug out two mud dumplings.
Ariel closed his eyes in despair: He really wanted to eat mud.
The next second, he heard several "knock-knock" sounds. When he opened his eyes, he saw that the wizard had cracked two clay dumplings, and an overbearing aroma that was different from grilled fish came to his nostrils.
"Here, knock off the mud together and you can eat it."
Everyone scrambled to knock up the dried mud.
The more mud you knock off, 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?"
"It smells so good!" Reading a book
“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 it with a rabbit leg.
"I've had enough, you guys divide it up."
Everyone feasted happily.
For the next three days, we caught edible fish while on the road, and when we went ashore to rest, we hunted for the meat of various small animals that can be used to make beggar series. The food every night was grilled fish and 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 quite a lot of salt to carry for trading. If you use some to pickle fish, it will be the same if you trade salted fish later.
Kun and others didn't have so much salt on hand, so Xu Yin said: "You can use the salt, but just send 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, great witch! When we go back, we will definitely give 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, we walked all the way, spearing fish all the way, and grilling fish to make beggar meat. It was much more interesting than simply hunting and resting during the walk.
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 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 there.
The trading scene 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 go back in exchange for things that their own tribe does not have. After going back and forth, such a market is 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 each person one.
People from the Cross River tribe are also ready.
After putting it on, everyone's faces are blocked by the colorful pheasant feathers. If you are not familiar with each other, you will not be able to identify who is who with your eyes alone.
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 from time to time. In the eyes of others, this was so
With so many people and so much supplies, I'm afraid it's a trading team sent by some big tribe.
