In fact, jerky can be eaten directly, but after roasting, it will either be fragrant and crispy, or it will be very chewy. For example, dried ratatouine will be crispy after roasting.
It's a bit like a certain brand of potato chips from He Chen's previous life, with the flavor of charcoal grilled beef.
While eating the meat, Chi also announced to everyone that He Chen had become the shaman of the tribe.
Because there were some old people and children who hid in the cave when the Yellow Insect Tribe approached, not knowing what was going on.
After it was announced that there was a witch in the Green Worm tribe, everyone became very happy and ate meat with great enthusiasm.
"...Uncle Mao, that's it." At this time, He Chen came to Mao and had just finished talking to Mao about making utensils.
"Is this useful?" Mao was full of doubts.
"Of course it works!"
Before He Chen could say anything, Di, the little follower, immediately rushed to say: "What Chen made must be useful!"
Mao nodded slightly: "Then let me make it and try it."
He Chen smiled.
The things he needs to make are very simple, stone pots, wooden bowls and chopsticks!
God knows how tragic this scene is when these big guys grab food with their bare hands and eat it.
And things like jerky, which has no moisture in the first place, become like stones after roasting, but they still eat them deliciously.
Is stone pot stew soup bad? Are chopsticks bad?
By the way, Mao could think of using a stone pot to cook fur, but he couldn't think of using it to make broth?
He Chen immediately told Mao his thoughts.
A skilled worker like Mao should be able to make something tomorrow.
"After it was cooked, a lot of fat was gone." Mao looked heartbroken.
He Chen had a dark look on his face.
If I ask you to cook dried meat, you will want to eat fatty meat all day long.
He tried his best to convince Mao that he had only a vague understanding of the concept of fat, and he half-convinced that he would do it tomorrow.
"Chen Wu, the medicine you mentioned before..."
At this time, Hua's strong body also came over.
"Oh, that's it..."
He Chen took two bites of roasted ratta meat. This was the earliest type of dried meat. Beasts such as horned deer and hippopotamus were hunted later. Because they were fresh, they could be kept longer.
He explained the appearance, taste and functions of various tree fruits, and then Hua walked away with a look of enlightenment.
She was in charge of making wound medicine and had never noticed these subtle differences before.
"Morning Witch, didn't you say before that you can use grass, bark and animal skin to make something?"
This time it was Zhi, and he gestured to his feet.
Chen, who had just finished answering Zhi, immediately started thinking again: "What you mean is, oh, you mean shoes? They are made of animal skin and are very comfortable."
"Really?" Zhi looked at his dirty, dark, smelly, but also scarred big feet, raised his head and his eyes lit up.
"The animal skins are not enough!" At this time, Mao snorted coldly at Zhi: "The animal skins are needed to make the leader's leather skirt, to make witches' clothes, and to make packages. Where can I use them for you?
Step on?”
"Oh..." Zhi scratched his head in embarrassment.
The hair is bigger than Zhi, and many things are made of hair, so Zhi doesn't dare to talk back.
Technical jobs are cattle.
He Chen was also a little embarrassed, feeling like a child who didn't know how to save and wanted to sell his land.
I have made several packages out of animal skins before.
However, in a flash he muttered: "Package...straw sandals...animal skins..."
"By the way, Uncle Mao." He Chen thought of a solution: "Let me tell you, use bark and rattan to weave baskets and backpacks..."
He explained in detail how to make baskets and backpacks.
He didn't think about it before, but now he thought about it. Animal skins, a scarce material, could be used for heating in winter. How could they be used for wrapping?
After he finished speaking, before he could take a bite of the meat, Wing called him again.
He Chen couldn't help but sigh: "There are so many things about witches..."
I didn't even have time to take a bite of the meat, so I just talked about it here.
After being busy for a while, He Chen estimated that it was almost early in the morning before going back to the cave to sleep.
There is no way, I can't sleep in the wooden house at all, I have to wait until tomorrow to get some hay to spread it.
"I'll make the bed when I'm free later." After muttering, he fell into dreamland.
…
the next day.
There was nothing else going on today, the hunting team went out hunting very early.
However, what is different from usual is that the hunting team was divided into two teams today to expand the hunting scope.
One side is led by Jian, and the other side is led by Wings.
As for the one who stayed behind, it was He Chen.
Because he is a witch.
"I...I have only been a witch for one night, why are you letting me stay behind?"
He Chen wanted to cry but had no tears.
"Mea."
Xiaobai patted He Chen's head gently to express comfort.
Xiaobai: Don’t be afraid, my buddy is here!
"Forget it, forget it, I just have a lot to do." He Chen had a lot of chores to deal with today.
There is no way, the green insect tribe is too primitive. It is as primitive as if it has just evolved from the ape. It has nothing but digging wood to make fire and digging caves.
Not to mention the messy tools such as shoes, wooden baskets, baskets, and stone pots need to be taught and made, and he also has to fulfill his obligations as a witch——
Cultivate elves!
Hey, if you don’t have a tree fruit mixer, how can you get energy cubes to grow them?
Otherwise, how would it be cultivated?
How did Master Gang be raised? Waiting online. He Chen thought hard.
Forget it, let’s start with diet.
"Xiao Di, your task today is to take the three cubs to pick leaves, but you must pay attention to safety!"
He Chen explained.
There are a total of five children in their tribe, among whom he is ten years old, Xiao Di is nine years old, and the other three are only five or six years old.
By the way, the Green Worm tribe does not have a calendar yet, but it is only a rough estimate that one cycle of spring, summer, autumn and winter is one year old, so this spring he will be ten years old before he can choose a partner.
"Do you want all the leaves? I mean, the catnip leaves?"
Di secretly glanced at Xiaobai above He Chen's head, and Xiaobai glared back at him.
"Of course you need them all. All green caterpillars need to eat all kinds of leaves to have balanced nutrition."
He Chen also discovered that Xiaobai was growing very fast, but there were still no signs of evolution.
You must know that in previous lives, house insects like green caterpillars could easily evolve.
"Xiao Bai, when will you evolve into Rayquaza..." He Chen waited for Di to leave, then took Xiao Bai off his head and said, "In the future, you can walk by yourself and exercise."
Xiaobai is getting heavier and heavier now, and his neck can hardly support it.
"Isn't it the overlord-level Baddie?" He Chen put Xiaobai on the ground, and Xiaobai was almost one meter long.
"Baa, baa."
Xiaobai: Man, walking is so tiring!
He Chen's face darkened.
He doesn't even know now why the voice he heard from Xiaobai's shout would be translated as "brother".
Does Xiaobai think he is also a green caterpillar?
Gan! Didn’t I say that before?
"Xiao Bai, walk and exercise. Look how fat you have become. No emerald caterpillar will like you anymore if you are too fat."
Xiaobai suddenly felt as if he had been struck by lightning and froze in place.
It quickly looked around at its body and found that it had not gained weight. Then it breathed a sigh of relief and then stared at He Chen.
He Chen looked funny.
Xiaobai didn't realize that what he was looking for in the future was the female butterfly, not the emerald caterpillar.
Tsk tsk, premature.
He stood up and felt a weight on his head, and Xiaobai jumped on top of him.
He smiled helplessly and looked at the sky.
The sun has completely risen above the horizon.
"Let's go, there are a lot of things to do today!"
With that said, he returned to the entrance of the cave, fed Daqiuzan with cat-shaped fruit, then picked it up directly from the water, and patted it gently: "Daqiuzan, let's move it for you!"
"Ho-chi, ho-chi ho-chi."
Da Zuanrui flicked his tail and glanced at He Chen intelligently, as if he was smiling.
He Chen weighed it and realized that the big one was a lot heavier: "I don't know when you will evolve? The big one."
The evolved Gyarados is so powerful that it can almost walk sideways from the river in the north to Suicune's lake.
Thinking of the scene of walking sideways in the river in the future, He Chen was very happy.
When we came to the bottom of the mountain, the water in the pool increased, and it looked as big as the swimming pool of later generations.
He Chen threw the big beast in with a plop.
As soon as Big Brutal entered, he splashed the water surface happily.
Water splashes.
I can see that I am very happy, after all, it is quite boring to be in the water tank.
"In the future, I will build a grand canal for you to walk sideways on." He Chen smiled at the big canal.
"Hohohoho."
"Big Cruelty, be good! I'll go check out the situation in other places."
After saying that, he walked towards the mountain.
In the orchard, thin women and old people are watering the seedlings.
To He Chen's surprise, the seedlings were growing very well. Unlike apples and the like in the previous life, which grew slowly, the fruit trees in this world grew very fast.
A bit like the fruit of a game tree.
"Chen Zaizi, are you here?" a woman said hello.
"What's the name of the bastard? It's called Morning Witch!" The flowers were also being watered. She liked these flowers the most, so everyone later called her Hua.
Even the tribal herbs are made by her.
"That's right, it's not a cub, it's a morning witch. We have a witch in the green insect tribe!" The woman immediately smiled.
Others nearby also greeted He Chen with smiles on their faces.
He Chen also responded with a smile on his face, and then walked towards the other side.
"Ever since Chen Wu broke his brain, he has become really smart!" the woman sighed.
"That's not true! Morning Witch taught us planting, taught us how to dig ponds to store water, and also taught hunting teams how to fight." Hua also nodded with deep understanding.
She looked at the large seedlings and was filled with joy: "With Morning Witch here, our tribe will definitely get better and better!"
…
He Chen came to the outside of Mao's cave in a happy mood. There was a stone pot standing there, and a layer of white water vapor enveloped the vicinity of the cave entrance.
As soon as he walked into the steam, he was hit by the pungent smell that hit his face, and his eyes went dark and he almost fainted.
"What!"
Xiaobai rolled his eyes and fainted on He Chen's head.
There is a lot of peeled bark, vines and the like boiling in the stone pot outside the cave.
"I'll go, it's too smelly." He Chen covered his nose with one hand and hugged Xiaobai with the other. He wanted to run into the cave to look for Mao, but Mao came out with a normal look on his face.
I'm going, Uncle Mao, can't you hear me?
Mao also had a half-finished straw sandal in his hand. He seemed to be busy just now, so his tone was not very good: "What's wrong, Morning Witch?"
"It's nothing, Uncle Mao, can you do it?" He Chen covered his nose, Xiaobai in his arms had just woken up and fainted from the smell.
Tsk, pitiful.
The insect type does not have strong resistance to the poison type.
"Okay, I'll go and get busy if there's nothing else to do." Mao waved his hand.
"Wait a minute, Uncle Mao." He Chen stopped Mao: "I'll ask a few aunts to help you faster."
The work of more than 40 people is still technical work. Of course, we need to cultivate more manual talents.
Compared with men, women are more delicate and flexible and more patient in making things, so they are very suitable to be craftsmen.
"You are a witch, it's up to you." Mao walked into the cave without looking back.
After He Chen finished speaking, he immediately left the scope of the water vapor.
"Can Uncle Mao bear this kind of health?" He was a little worried.
That kind of smell is not just a simple smell, there are so many barks and vines mixed together, which may produce some toxins.
This is also the reason why Xiaobai fainted without saying a word.
The resistance is too poor.
"I hope nothing happens."
He sighed.
There is no other way, he can only direct or teach the manual work from the side, and he can't do it by himself.
In the entire tribe, Mao is by far the best at handicrafts, and everyone else is doing farm work.
After sighing, he immediately ran to Xiangyang's side and called the two women who looked the thinnest and petite to help Mao do it.
In the tribe, there is no market for thin women.
Because thin women cannot grab food when eating barbecue, they will become thinner, and the thinner they are, the less they can grab food.
This is an infinite loop.
Every winter, the first people in the Green Worm tribe to starve to death are often thin women, while flowers with big muscles and round waists are less likely to starve to death.
Finding some important jobs for them to do can also increase their importance in the hearts of the Green Worm Tribe people.
However, the two women could only help outside the cave, and they did not dare to go in for too long due to the poisonous steam.
"Auntie, you guys are busy first, I'm going to do other things." After He Chen said that, he ran to Xiangyang again.
