The island is very small, and ordinary islanders do not dare to come to the leader's place. However, Jiang Miao and the others live on the outskirts, and they are surrounded by the islanders as soon as they move in.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
Jiang Miao looked at a group of children surrounding them, not knowing what they were saying. She felt that they were now monkeys in the zoo, attracting people to watch.
"Princess, you and Mrs. Jiang live in the same room. Chen Liu and I are outside. If you need anything, just call and I will hear you right away."
Before going out, Shen Yanqing had repeatedly warned Jiang Miao to protect her, so Liu Meng naturally did his duty and did not dare to slack off.
"good."
Jiang Miao nodded and followed Jiang Xuan into the back room.
There have been no strangers on the island for more than ten years, so there is no house for entertaining guests. This is the house of the island residents, specially set aside to receive them.
Among the people Jiang Miao and the others saw outside were the children of the owner of the house.
She and Jiang Xuan washed their hair, dried it and then wrapped it up again, so that it was clean and unobtrusive.
"Princess, what shall we have for dinner?"
Jiang Xuan suddenly landed and was hungry.
They had eaten fish and shrimp at sea for half a month, and now they didn't want to eat them at all.
Jiang Miao also wanted to eat something good. She looked at the sky that had not yet darkened outside and pulled Jiang Xuan out.
"Let's go and see what's on this island."
When the two went out, they were followed by Liu Meng and Chen Liu. A group of children had not dispersed at the door of the house. The owner of the house had a child named Qi. He was a dark and thin boy about seven or eight years old. He was the same age as Han Yu, but Han Yu Compared to him, it's like heaven and earth.
The survival rate of children on the island is very low. Although every woman gives birth to many children, less than two actually survive.
Qi also had a sister. His mother gave birth to five children in total, and two survived. She was already a very lucky woman on the island.
At this time, Qi and her sister Ya were standing outside the door. Jiang Miao lived in their house, and their family could only stay in the cave behind today.
The two children stood timidly, looking at Jiang Miao and the others carefully.
"Can you take us around the island?"
Jiang Miao also has children. When she sees these poor children, she thinks of the joy and comfort left in Qiongzhou City, and her heart always feels softer.
Chen Liu translated her words to Qi and Ya. Although the two children still looked timid, they had never seen so many strangers, especially the woman in front of them was so beautiful, like a goddess with their abilities. Qi and Ya couldn't help but approach her.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
The two of them nodded as they spoke and agreed.
When the other children saw Qi and Ya being brought into the team by Jiang Miao, they were also a little moved. Although they did not dare to step forward, they all followed them.
So when Jiang Miao appeared on the island, she was already followed by a string of children.
There is a shortage of materials on the island. No one grows crops or raises livestock here. Everything to eat and drink comes from the sea.
However, there is a mountain behind the island, and the residents of the island who are physically strong will go hunting on the mountain, which is why they wear animal skins.
Jiang Miao turned around and saw no other fruit trees except a coconut forest and a banana and mango tree.
After asking Qi, I found out that the staple food on their island is bananas, and fish, shrimp and shellfish are boiled or grilled. Because fresh water is precious, coconuts are relatively regarded as thirst-quenching food, and mangoes are snacks for children. Well, adults don’t like to eat these unsatisfying things.
But the bananas and coconuts on the island cannot be picked casually. They are the property of the leader. If the islanders want to eat them, they need to exchange them with fish and shrimp. Although there is no currency here, they still need to exchange things.
Jiang Miao listened to Chen Liu's translation and slowly understood the rules of the island.
Compared to the outside, this place is more like a primitive society. There is a large amount of material on her ship. If she takes it all out, she will probably be robbed.
"Sister Goddess, I still have two bananas that I haven't eaten today. I'll give them to you."
Ya was more courageous than Qi. She walked up to Jiang Miao and handed her the banana she had been holding in her arms.
Chen Liu translated her words to Jiang Miao, who was a little stunned.
She could know that bananas are a very precious food to Ya. After all, as a staple food, a child can only get three bananas every day. Now Ya directly gave two of her bananas to herself.
Jiang Miao couldn't explain how she felt. Before this, she had looked down on the island's residents.
These people are ignorant, ignorant and barbaric, and it is difficult for them to even communicate.
But it was the islanders whom she judged as barbaric, who treated her warmly.
Jiang Miao's attitude softened and she touched Ya's sparse and yellowing hair.
"You can eat it yourself, we have food."
Jiang Miao had already sent people to hunt in the mountains. She knew that there were wild boars and pheasants on the mountains. Liu Meng's men were all highly skilled in martial arts, so hunting was a piece of cake for them.
Ya was touched on the head by Jiang Miao, and she felt that her hair became fragrant. The little girl blushed shyly, and her big eyes shone with love for Jiang Miao.
"I'll give it to you."
After saying that, he still forced the banana to her. Jiang Miao had no choice but to continue.
However, she took the little girl's food and had to return it later.
Qi Yuanlang brought over a bucket of fish and shrimp, which were all fresh and plump seafood. Jiang Miao picked out a few big ones and asked him to trade them with dace for coconuts and mangoes. Later, she would use the ingredients on the island to make a dish.
Good food on the table.
Qi Heya walked around with her, and when she saw that it was getting late, she was about to say goodbye and leave.
Jiang Miao took the little girl's food, how could she starve her? After asking where the little girl lived, she asked Chen Liu to send her back.
Back at the house, Liu Meng's men had brought back the pots on the boat and quickly set up a stove for Jiang Miao and the others to cook.
There are no stoves on this island because there are no iron tools on the island. They have never eaten cooked food. Even cooked fish, meat and shrimp are cooked in stone pots.
But stone pots are difficult to use, and cooking consumes a lot of firewood, so few people are willing to cook and eat, and most of them are roasted.
The stove was set up outside, and the islanders' eyes widened as they watched Jiang Miao pull out so many cooking utensils like a magic trick.
"Ooooooo!"
The men sent by Liu Meng to hunt also came back. They shot a wild boar and two pheasants, plus the fish, shrimp and seafood sent by Qi Yuanlang, which was enough for so many people to have dinner.
Jiang Miao asked Liu Meng to deal with the wild animals. She first made a pot of mango sago with the mangoes exchanged on the island.
Sweets make people feel happy. They have been walking on the sea for so long, so it’s time to add some sugar.
Moreover, the mangoes on this island are big and sweet, and when made into desserts, they taste better than the mangoes in Qiongzhou City.
