Ye dropped the spindle and ran over quickly, with a gossipy expression on his face.
Ha means something, but these primitive people can't distinguish between the two initial consonants. Xu Chen taught me many times but couldn't change it.
What I usually do when I say Gaha is that I can’t tell the difference between the initial consonants g and h.
In short, this is a group of primitive people whose language function has not yet fully developed, but basically it has little impact on communication.
Xu Chen pointed to a large pile of rattan baskets and explained a few words with pictures. After Ye understood, he ran over and found a red fruit. He held it in his arms and made a covering motion, and then took out a purple fruit.
.
Xu Chen:……
This trick became too primitive.
However, this is also in line with the simple way of thinking of primitive people.
Seeing Xu Chen's confused look, Ye Lianbi explained a few words with pictures, but Xu Chen still didn't understand. This was beyond the scope of ordinary communication and felt a bit brain-burning. In the end, Ye had to drag him to the cave.
At the place where firewood was piled next to it, I stuffed the red one into the pile, and after a while I took out a purple one.
Isn't this still the same?
Xu Chen was even more confused.
Ye Qi stamped his feet and explained again and again, looking very excited.
Xu Chen thought hard and suddenly realized.
It turns out that what she said was to cover the red part, and it will ripen and turn purple after a while.
It seems that I did this when I was a kid, and the August fried rice picked from the mountains was also cooked in this way.
Persimmons and kiwis can also be cooked in this way.
The reason why some fruits sold in the city are not sweet is because they are still half green but not red and hard. They are picked and packed in boxes. They are kept for a while until they are ripe before being sold, so that they will not rot on the road.
But this cannot be used to preserve this wild fruit.
Xu Chen took the purple fruit and rubbed it on his body and took a bite. It was soft and sweet, with a faint smell of wine...the smell of wine...
Damn it, I'm not just stupid, this wild fruit seems to be able to make wine!
Xu Chen suddenly showed surprise on his face.
Originally, when he was making pottery, he was thinking of getting some berries such as wild grapes to make some fruit wine.
However, I searched many times up and down the mountain and couldn't find it, so I gradually forgot about it.
Unexpectedly, Ye's reminder like this would wake him up instantly.
This kind of vine fruit has a sweet taste, is soft and juicy, and has a faint smell of wine when ripe. It is very similar to grapes. Grapes can make wine, so should this wild fruit.
After thinking about it, Xu Chen ate the wild fruit in several mouthfuls and ran straight to the cave. He quickly took out a clay pot about two feet high. After washing his hands, he found a purple-red fruit from the rattan frame.
Crush one and throw it into a clay pot.
Ye didn't understand what he was doing, and stood beside him looking at him with a strange expression.
"Help, purple..."
Xu Chen signaled with the purple wild fruit, and Ye also washed his hands and came to help.
Recently, the kiln factory has fired two batches of pottery, both of which are large pottery pots, mainly used to store various sun-dried foods.
Although he has always wanted to make several larger pottery jars, unfortunately he lacks the skills and the clay will collapse if he makes it too big. Therefore, the largest pottery jar he has made so far is only two feet in size.
However, the capacity of this kind of clay pot is actually not small. It can hold more than ten liters of water, so it can also hold ten kilograms of wild fruits, and a basket of wild fruits can only hold that much.
Xu Chen went in and out and brought out three large clay pots one after another. After slowly filling them, it was completely dark.
This wild fruit has a high sugar content, and if it is made into wine, the alcohol content should be very good.
He didn't think too much about whether it would succeed or not.
Anyway, if you can't make wine, these fruits will be eaten up and turned into cakes within a few days.
Thinking of Daddy, Xu Chen ran over to observe the two little wolves after finishing his work.
I found that I was still very weak, but I was still breathing, and my body temperature seemed to be normal, but there was a smell of feces in the nest.
I hope these two wolf cubs can survive.
As long as they don't die, I'll continue feeding them shit tomorrow.
Eating meat and surviving is not a skill, but eating shit and surviving is really strong.
Xu Chen covered the two little wolves with a dirty fur skirt, and then went to finish today's diary.
…
Xu Chen was shaken awake in a daze.
When I opened my eyes, the outside of the cave seemed to be dimly lit.
"Gaha!"
Looking at Ye squatting next to his hay nest with an excited expression on his face, Xu Chen yawned and looked unhappy.
"Wolf... live!" Ye pulled his arm excitedly.
Xu Chen got up, picked at his eyes and walked out.
Several children were gathering around the wolf den and pointing, and there were even two women standing nearby watching curiously.
Xu Chen squeezed in and took a look. The two wolves that were dying yesterday were indeed a little energetic. One of them would open its mouth and show its teeth to make a threatening sound.
Although the voice sounds very weak, it has indeed changed a lot from yesterday.
It seems that eating shit is still effective.
Xu Chen looked at a group of children happily and said, "What are you taking a shit?"
"Moga!" A group of children shook their heads excitedly, and raised their hands one after another and shouted: "My, my!"
Especially Pu, who was very excited and started to take off his pants on the spot.
Xu Chen's face turned black and he pushed him away, "You have too much shit, change to a smaller one... Well, you go!"
"Boom!" The little savage who was pointed out jumped up excitedly and ran straight into the woods.
"Kukukuku!"
Ye stood behind and laughed so hard that he almost fell to the ground. The two young women also smiled and left quickly.
Xu Chen arranged for a child to scoop up some spring water with clam shells and put it in the rattan basket. The two little wolves didn't know whether it was because they were too thirsty or because they had eaten too much shit. Finally, one of them seemed to be weak.
It crawled over and took a few licks, but the stronger one on the other side still refused to drink the water, instead grinning fiercely.
"Come on shit!"
The little savage who had just gone to defecate came over with a pointed scoop of feces in a clam shell, and was shouting from a distance.
A group of children screamed and dispersed. Xu Chen had no choice but to take action again. He asked Ye to help catch the little wolf, picked up the wood chips and started stuffing them into his mouth.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!"
A group of children covered their mouths and shouted while watching.
But today was not as easy to feed as yesterday, because the little wolf had some strength and struggled hard. However, Xu Chen held his mouth firmly and finally drank a lot. Then he asked a child to lift it to the puddle to wash it off, and then
Feed the next one.
After feeding the two wolves, Xu Chen pooped again.
How many dogs are there? If you can't feed them like this, you will be dead.
Seeing the two wet wolves shivering in the den, Xu Chen blushed and went to wash his hands.
Taming animals is a long process.
It's definitely not something that can be solved by just feeding it a few times.
But for Xu Chen, life only lasts for a few decades, so he doesn't have time to reproduce and domesticate from generation to generation, so he can only try this deviant method.
What if it succeeds?
At least today it seems that one of the weaker ones has the desire to take the initiative to drink water, which is a good start.
When Xu Chen tamed wild wolves, he did so with a sense of fun, so he didn't take the two little wolves too seriously and just left them alone.
After breakfast, Xu Chen found several large clay pots and prepared to continue making fruit wine.
Although his hands had just been stained with feces, Xu Chen didn't care at all.
At least he washed it. Most people in this tribe never wash their hands before eating and after using the toilet. Except for Ye, he was even more worried about letting others help. Who knows what indescribable things their hands had just done.
Mother Ba was still asking Xu Chen about handling wild fruits yesterday.
Today I found that Xu Chen had started to take action. I came over to ask a few questions, but Xu Chen couldn't explain clearly. He only said that he should crush it and put it in a clay pot and seal it, and it would slowly turn into a drinkable wine, so Momba
I happily hugged him and praised him a few more times.
There were too many wild fruits and not enough clay pots. After working hard all morning, he and Ye finally finished filling most of the wild fruits, a total of five cans. Adding the three cans packed last night, there were eight cans in total.
The wild fruits weigh nearly two hundred kilograms.
The filled clay pots were placed under the cave wall. After the lids were closed, the mouths of the pots were covered with animal skins to prevent children from opening them or insects and mice falling in.
The remaining seven or eight baskets of vine fruits were all just ripe and even a little green in color, relatively hard. Xu Chen was worried that the sugar content was not enough to make wine, so he had no choice but to give up.
However, grapes can be used to make wine and can also be made into raisins. There are still a lot of vine fruits left. It would be a waste to eat them all in a few days. Maybe you can try hanging them to dry, and maybe they can be made into dried fruits.
Thinking of this, Xu Chen asked Ye to find a few rolls of fine twine, use wood chips as knives to cut the remaining fruits in half, and then use wooden needles to thread the thin threads into strings and hang them up.
This work is relatively slow and cumbersome.
The two of them worked for an hour and only managed to get a basket, so Xu Chen called a group of children over and asked them to wash their hands and help skewer them. The task of cutting the fruits was handed over to Ye.
No one knew what these wild fruits would look like after being crushed and put in clay pots. Although this was the first time they had seen them strung and dried like this, everyone knew the principle, so they all praised Xu Chen's new invention.
Creativity and invention, you can hang up the wild fruits to dry in the future.
