Wang asked: "Young lady, according to what you said, there are still a lot of taros around here?"
If this were the case, serious food problems could be alleviated.
With food, they can fill their stomachs, recover their strength, arrive at a stable city faster, and be fully prepared to survive the cold winter.
Xu Yue shook her head helplessly and looked at Tong, Qiu and others who were already setting up a pot to cook taro.
Wang followed her line of sight and understood immediately.
She patted the top of Xu Yue's hair and smiled broadly, "Young lady is very powerful. With what you have brought back, plus the prey that grandma has brought back, it will be enough for us to eat for a while."
He didn't blame her for telling others about the taro in the mountains, but praised her for doing a great job.
Xu Yue felt warm in her heart, but she was still a little worried about the coming days.
He asked in a low voice: "Aniang, how should we go next?"
Xu Erniang and Xu Da, who had returned from handling the pheasants, all looked at Wang after hearing this.
Before she knew it, she had already become the backbone of the family.
Although this may be due to the difference in force values, it has to be said that Wang's excellent survival ability in the wild makes Xu Yue and others feel that she is more reliable than the cheap dad Xu Da.
Wang made a clear analysis: "There is water here and we can still catch prey. We will rest here for two days and prepare food while waiting for the wind to pass before going down the mountain."
Xu Da thought it was feasible. After all, food was the most important thing. He ran away in a hurry before and didn't prepare anything. Now that he had this rare opportunity, he naturally had to make careful preparations.
only......
The father and daughter looked at the villagers of Dawang Village who had returned from the forest in tacit understanding. The presence of these people had both advantages and disadvantages.
The good thing is that there are more people and more power, so they can save the pond in front of them.
But the disadvantages are also obvious. The only remaining food resources have to be shared with these people.
How could Mrs. Wang not know about the concerns of father and daughter?
Whatever you gain, you must lose. As Xu Da said before, before they become stronger, the power of the group is still necessary.
It is impossible to use people when you need them and leave them when you don't.
What about next time?
Not every time you want to use someone, so many people will appear and let you take advantage of them.
"There are a lot of prey in the forest. I will take them hunting tomorrow. At least let's save this pond first and prepare the food we need for the journey."
Speaking of this, Mrs. Wang was worried about the water container.
This is ancient times, and there are no foldable and compressed water bottles. On the premise that they cannot determine where the next water source will be, they must prepare basic water supplies for at least half a month.
If each person needs one liter of water per day to meet the basic protection needs, five people would have five liters of water, and half a month's supply would be 75 liters of water.
With Xu Dalang's huge strength, plus her and Xu Da's sharing of burdens, he can definitely carry him.
But what should be used to hold so much water?
The traditional bamboo tube itself is very heavy, and the carrying capacity is doubled, making it unrealistic to carry a load of 300 kilograms.
Moreover, the bamboo tube has the risk of water leakage, and most of it may leak out on the rugged and bumpy mountain roads.
Wang fell into deep thought.
The pheasant in the clay pot began to smell fragrant. The three Xu Yue brothers stared at the clay pot. Even though their stomachs were already filled with taro, they were still so greedy that they swallowed their saliva.
Fresh chicken soup, even if nothing is added, this is the best meal since time travel.
People's talents are forced out. Before time travel, Xu Da, who only knew how to taste food, never knew that he, the eldest son of a dandy family, could actually shine in the skill of cooking.
He didn't expect that a pot of chicken soup, with only a few slices of dried ginger brought from home and a little salt water, could become so fragrant after being cooked over high heat.
Xu Da was very proud of himself and thought he was a cooking genius.
Xu Yue and Xu Erniang looked at each other, seeing through it but not telling it. In order to have a free chef in the future, they praised their father's talent without conscience, which made Xu Da even more excited.
The aroma was even worse, and the alluring smell of chicken soup was all around the pond. The sound of swallowing saliva could be heard, and the pair of eyes glowing green made people panic.
Fortunately, Wang Da has a family. He was following behind Wang, but he actually picked up a rabbit that slipped from Wang's hand.
At this time, half of the stew was cooked to improve the food for the children. The Wang family's aunt and the Wang family's youngest son, who had just started to learn to speak, were extremely satisfied with the food.
Because of the existence of taro, other villagers have more or less alleviated their hunger. Therefore, under the temptation of such delicious chicken soup, they just watched eagerly and did not come forward to snatch it.
Of course, they also knew that the skinny themselves might not be able to rob Wang, who could kill several victims from other villages, so they did not dare to rob him.
Xu Da took out five pottery bowls and filled each of his family members with a bowl of chicken soup. There were also several pieces of meat in each bowl, which made everyone's mouth twitch.
Xu Yue held the child's body, not wanting to lose face, and started slurping down a bowl of chicken soup, which made her hiccup.
When she moved, the others also moved.
Seeing that the Xu family and Wang Dayou family were able to eat meat, Wang Dahai and others who had been sexually discriminatory before couldn't help it. They moved up and talked to Wang with a shy face, asking her to go hunting next time.
Also bring yourself and others with you.
Mrs. Wang smiled and was very generous. Not only did she agree, but she also gave them a fatter rabbit.
Wang Dahai and others were stunned for a moment. After they came to their senses, they knelt down and repeatedly praised Wang as a great person.
Xu Da silently drank chicken soup and watched this scene, with a flash of disdain in his eyes.
People who used to call her the Wang family and the Xu family before, look at it now, they just call her the Xu family’s sister-in-law.
It’s just that there is never a free lunch in this world.
Sure enough, Wang stood up and said to Wang Dahai and others: "I have a condition. If you agree, you will go hunting with me."
Wang Dahai and others held the rabbit in their arms, and first said that they could be a cow or a horse for Wang, and then they calmed down and waited for Wang to explain the conditions.
Wang said easily: "The conditions are very simple. I can take you hunting next, but all the prey you hunt must be handed over to me for distribution, and the skins of the animals must be given to me."
"If you agree, just raise your hands. If you don't agree, go find the food yourself. I don't care about you. As for this rabbit, whether you agree or not, it's still yours. Just think of me as doing good deeds for the children at home."
Wang Dahai and others looked at each other, not expecting the conditions to be so simple.
However, he was also afraid of being deceived, so Wang Dahai made a point of confirming, "Can you manage enough? How do you divide the prey?"
"It depends on God whether you are full or not, but I can guarantee that everyone will get the same prey."
"But!" Ms. Wang looked serious and stared at Wang Dahai, whose eyes were darting around, and warned: "You can't even try to take advantage of everyone if you cheat!"
Wang Dahai met this cold look and thought to himself, why are you looking at me? I don't want to be lazy.
Wang squinted her eyes dangerously: Just look at you!
Wang Dahai gave up and turned to look at the people behind him. Everyone had no objections and agreed.
