Yao Xiaoqing went to the bottom of the mountain to pick up a pile of stones and came back. He built two earth stoves with clay. When the fire for making the pots went out, he used wooden sticks to pick out the pots, piled firewood at the bottom of the fire pit, and filled the pots with firewood.
The fire pit was also filled with firewood sticks, allowing Hua to watch the fire pit, add firewood into it, and continue to bake.
When I came out of the cave, I saw that the sun had already set. Golden Retriever, Mu Feng, Pig, and Bull had not returned yet.
Yaohu and Shan made several bows and arrows, and Dashi had already made a bunch of wooden arrows.
Shan began to make bamboo bowls, water cups and chopsticks according to Yao Xiaoqing's request.
Dashi and Yaohu saw the wood they had brought back into several pieces, and the remaining piece was just enough to be used as a cutting board.
Watching the sky getting dark, Yao Xiaoqing touched his hungry stomach and thought about never eating hard-boiled eggs again.
He carried the cutting board into the cave, put the wild vegetables washed by Shan Amu on it, chopped it into fine pieces with a dagger, and prepared to make duck egg vegetable pancakes.
After Hua saw it, she said to her: "Xiaoqing, do you still want to make food?"
Yao Xiaoqing then remembered that they didn't eat at night, so they had to save food for winter when hunting was not easy.
"I'm a little hungry. Let's make some duck egg vegetable pancakes to eat."
Hua nodded and went to pick up firewood outside the cave.
Yao Xiaoqing cracked a dozen duck eggs, beat them up, added some salt and mixed them with wild vegetables, placed the frying pan on the newly built earthen stove, heated it up and poured some sesame oil into the pan. After the oil was hot, started
Fried duck egg vegetable pancake.
Yaya smelled the fragrance and ran in from outside the cave, "Qinggu, what did you make?"
"Duck egg vegetable pancake, Yaya, do you want to eat it?"
Yaya swallowed her saliva and nodded: "I want to eat."
Yao Xiaoqing turned the egg pancake over, fried it for a while, cut it into small pieces with a dagger, and gave a piece to Yaya, "It's a bit hot, be careful."
"Yeah!" Yaya took the duck egg vegetable pancake and took a bite, "It's delicious." She brought the egg pancake to Hua's mouth and said, "Mom, eat it."
Hua smiled and took a bite, "Yeah! It's delicious."
"It smells so good!" Mu Feng walked in with a goat on his back, "Xiao Qing, brother is starving to death."
As he spoke, he reached for the vegetable cake. Yao Xiaoqing patted his hand and stuffed a piece of cake into his mouth, "Mufeng, put down the goat and wash your hands before eating."
Mufeng had no choice but to put down the goat and the backpack and go to the ravine to wash his hands.
The pig and the bull came in carrying a wild boar with tusks. Judging from how panting they were, the wild boar weighed at least two hundred kilograms.
Yao Hu, Shan and the others all walked in. They all looked at the wild animals that Mu Feng and the others had captured and smiled happily, "Warriors, today's harvest is not bad!"
Shui Bo and Zhong Bo touched the wild boars and goats on the ground and narrowed their eyes with joy.
Zhi nodded happily, "Chief, there is a col after the mountain. There are many wild animals there."
Xiongniu hesitated and said: "Chief, the Shenmu tribe seems to live in the mountains in the northeast. I wonder how many people there are? Are they easy to get along with?"
"The Shenmu tribe is a medium-to-large tribe, and we are no match for them." Yao Hu looked at the two of them with a heavy expression, "Have you ever encountered them?"
The bull shook his head, "We saw broken stone axes and traps in the forest."
Yao Hu breathed a sigh of relief, "Don't go hunting there until you know whether they can get along well with each other. Avoid them first."
The bull nodded, "This is the only way."
Mu Feng washed his hands and came back. They were probably very hungry, so they finished Yao Xiaoqing's fried duck egg and vegetable pancakes in a few mouthfuls.
Yaohu said to Shan'amu: "Shan'amu, boil a pot of duck eggs and give them to Xiongniu and the others."
Mu Feng hurriedly said to Shan Amu: "Amu, just make the kind of food you eat."
Shan Amu smiled and shook his head, "Amu can't do it. This is Xiaoqing's doing."
"Amu, go wash some wild vegetables and come back, I'll teach you." Yao Xiaoqing said with a smile.
When Shan Amu saw that Yao Xiaoqing was willing to teach her, she happily took the wild vegetables in the straw basket to wash them.
Shui Bo and Zhong Bo lit two bonfires outside the cave, illuminating the platform like daylight.
The two men carried a large stone slab from nowhere. The pig and the bull carried the wild boar onto the stone slab, and several people gathered around the wild boar and began to skin it.
Yao Xiaoqing saw half a basket of taro and a few pieces of yam in the basket on his back. The yam vines and taro leaves were still on it, so he thought that these taro and yam could be planted at the foot of the mountain.
After walking to the entrance of the cave and watching the skinning of pigs for a while, Shan Amu and Yun Amu returned to the cave carrying the straw baskets.
Yao Xiaoqing followed the two into the cave and taught them how to fry duck egg and vegetable pancakes.
A small bottle of sesame oil was used up after frying the duck egg and vegetable pancakes for a dozen people. Yao Xiaoqing thought that after the earthen pot was cooked, he could boil out the wild boar oil.
Shan Amu tasted a piece and said with a smile: "For the same thing, what Xiaoqing makes is delicious."
Yao Xiaoqing smiled and said, "With oil and salt, can the food not be delicious?"
Yun Amu nodded and said, "That oil is so fragrant and delicious when you smell it."
Shan'am went outside the cave and asked them to come in and eat egg pancakes. After everyone ate, they all said they had never eaten such delicious food.
Yao Hu looked at Yao Xiaoqing proudly, "Xiao Qing is becoming more and more capable."
Yao Xiaoqing's face turned red, "Father, people will laugh at you if you say this."
"Haha..." Yao Hu burst into laughter, "Ask Uncle Shan and the others, is what Father said right?"
Dashi nodded with a smile, "Yes, Xiaoqing is really becoming more and more capable. She can make bows and arrows from the Giant Bear Tribe, and her skills are better than theirs."
"Bow and arrow?" Mu Feng looked at Dashi, "Is it the same weapon that You used last time?"
Yao Hu nodded, looked at the few people and said, "Come on, everyone, go outside the cave. I will show you the bow and arrow made by Xiao Qing."
A group of people went outside the cave again. Yaohu took down the bow hanging on the bamboo pole, and each of them happened to have one.
Mu Feng held the bow fondly and said to Yao Xiaoqing: "Xiaoqing, how do you use the bow?"
"Father, let me shoot it for you." Yao Hu smiled and picked up a wooden arrow, followed the posture Yao Xiaoqing taught him, aimed at the big tree, and shot it.
The wooden arrow flew out and hit the trunk of the tree. After seeing it, everyone cheered and ran over to pull the arrow out of the trunk.
Looking at the arrows and arrow feathers, he praised: "What a good thing! Chief, with this thing, we won't be afraid of the giant bear tribe and the fire beaver."
Yao Hu shook his head, "It's okay to deal with the fire fox, but we have too few people to deal with the giant bear tribe. Besides, they also have bows and arrows."
Thinking of the Giant Bear Tribe that came to the Yaoshan Tribe to plunder that day, one leader led hundreds of warriors. Dashi sighed and said, "Yes! We're just afraid that the Giant Bear Tribe will find us."
Everyone lowered their heads when they thought of the scene of being robbed that day, and the atmosphere suddenly became cold.
Yao Xiaoqing took a step forward, pointed at the entrance of the cave and the forest at the foot of the mountain, and told him what he thought.
"Father, while we are looking for food, we are building houses and walls to surround our home so that the giant bear tribe cannot attack us."
Mu Feng said from the side: "Xiao Qing, are you talking about the house that the gods took you to see?"
Yao Xiaoqing smiled and nodded, "Yes."
Yao Hu looked at her in confusion, "House? Wall? What exactly does it look like?"
Yao Xiaoqing picked up a branch, drew a wall on the ground, and then drew the house inside the wall. "Father, this is what walls and houses look like."
