Chapter 47: Stockpiling Grain
After thinking about it, there was nothing to explain for the time being, Ye Ke beckoned Xing Han to come over to eat, and served him a bowl of broth, with an eager expression.
"Taste..."Ye Ke looked expectantly, and then served a bowl himself.
Scooping a spoonful into my mouth, the taste is indeed much better than before, and after adding sweet fruit, it neutralizes the greasy and easier to eat.
"Congratulations on consuming 'Excellent' quality broth, which increases defense by 10 percent and lasts for 20 minutes. ”
Sure enough, the quality reached 'excellent'', worthy of my own careful stay up all afternoon. Ye Ke drank another spoonful, and turned his head to look at Xing Han, who was taking a sip of broth, "How do you feel after drinking?"
'Feel?' Xing Han tasted the broth in his mouth, "It's good, it's delicious." He thought that the little female should want to hear compliments and something like that.
"Don't feel anything else?" Ye Ke stared at Xing Han carefully with wide eyes again, scanning back and forth on his body, "For example, I feel like I've become stronger or something." ”
"Well, after eating the food made by Ke'er, I am the strongest!" Xing Han said a rare sycophant, which amused Ye Ke.
But about cooking food and adding attributes, Ye Ke didn't know how to explain it, "Maybe it only has an effect on himself." After thinking about it, she is no longer entangled, she has avant-garde thoughts, and she doesn't believe that in this primitive era, she can't live well.
In order to make Ye Ke happy, Xing Han quickly finished a bowl of broth, and when he drank the last bite of soup, he felt warm all over his body, and an undetectable heat flow rose on the surface of his body, but it quickly dissipated.
Then he drank another bowl of broth and ate a few skewers of barbecue, Ye Ke was full, watching Xing Han eat up the remaining pot of broth and a whole large prey little by little.
'Huh?' Ye Ke looked at it and felt that something was wrong, 'Is Xing Han so edible?' recalled for a moment, it seemed that all the leftovers from before had all entered his stomach.
I also remembered that the amount of food that Wolf Leap had to eat was not small, but the males took the form of beasts and went out hunting, and the consumption itself was very large, and "then in the dry season, how many meals of dried meat will they eat?" ’
In fact, Ye Ke was right, but he ignored that males rarely go out in the dry season, and if they don't take the form of a beast, they won't need to consume as much food as usual.
She silently pondered whether there was any food that could be stored in large quantities, perhaps not too hungry to eat meat, 'If only there was food.' Ye Ke felt as if he had forgotten something very important, and he couldn't remember it in a flash.
Seeing that Ye Ke was stunned, Xing Han walked over, gently picked up the person, and put him on the bed, "You rest first, I'll clean up, and sleep for a while." He put on the hide and touched her hair.
was startled by the sudden hugging, heard the voice again, and replied, "Okay~" Knowing what Xing Han promised, he would definitely do it, Ye Ke didn't persuade him to go to bed quickly, and immediately closed his eyes, indicating that he was going to sleep.
Smiling lightly, the corners of Xing Han's mouth curled slightly, and he took a deep look at Ye Ke, and then went to clean up the pots and bowls, and when he finished washing, he walked outside the cave, and heard movement outside for a while, it should be Tuya who sent salty stones.
The air at night was still dry, not as humid as some time ago, Xing Han looked at the sky, it was quiet, the sound of insects had disappeared, and the bright moon had turned into a crescent moon, hanging in the air with a faint light.
After standing for a while, he returned to the cave, lay down beside Ye Ke, and gradually fell asleep watching the little face that couldn't see enough.
In the early hours of the next morning...
"Tucker, don't mess around, I'll wake you up in a moment!"
A small scolding sounded, and Grandma Ona looked at her little cub, who had been wandering around Ye Ke's bedside, and couldn't help but remind.
So the first time Ye Ke woke up, he saw Tucker smirking at her, these days, as soon as she woke up every day, Xinghan had already left, and Tuya and the others also came over early.
"Tucker is early!" Ye Ke greeted little Tucker who had raised a little baby fat during this time.
"Hehe, Sister Kerr is early!" Tucker's eyes were shining, "Sister Kerr, Sister Tuya said, we are going to make a lot of jerky today, and then we won't be afraid of running out of food in the dry season!"
Tucker is a cub who has survived several dry seasons, and he has seen many friends who have eaten particularly hard roast meat because of the lack of food in the dry season, and their stomachs are rolling on the ground with pain, and they are finally taken away by the beast god.
There are also inexplicable illnesses and unconscious, and there are many adult clansmen who have been starved to death, so he is also more concerned about the food that can be stored.
"Tucker is good, you are a little male, you need a lot of help today!" Ye Ke pinched Tucker's little face, got out of bed, stretched his waist, and suddenly saw a pile of high prey at the mouth of the cave.
Listening to Tuya, this was moved by Xinghan and Wolf Leap, as well as a few prey she hunted, whether others believe it or not, food can be stored, they have to start making jerky, and there is not much time left.
After a simple wash, Ye Ke saw the salty stone water that people had prepared outside the cave.
Because Tucker had participated in the production of fine salt last time, he melted the salty stone that Tuya had brought over in the morning into a large vat made of water-draining stones, and the leaves were almost dissolved when they were ready.
Originally, the impurities in the water were directly filtered out, and then boiling was the best, but there was nothing that could be used to filter, and in the end Ye Ke decided to contribute his warm leggings.
Above the side of the water tank where the salty stone had been dissolved, Tuya opened a small round hole with his claws, and poked a few small holes around the small round hole.
I cut off the calf of the warm leggings with a bone knife, and after unfolding it, I tied it to the small round mouth with a thin animal leather belt, a simple filter, and it was completed, but I don't know how long it will last.
Looking at the missing section of warm leggings, Ye Ke silently comforted himself, he didn't have a chance to wear it when it was so hot here, all for everyone, but also for himself.
After passing the dissolved saltstone water through the filter and pouring it into the cauldron, the people got busy, Tucker and Grandma Ona were in charge of stirring the saltstone water and adding fuel to the fire, while Tuya began to pack up the prey and cut the meat into pieces.
But Ye Ke stood there and didn't know what to do, after helping to cut the meat was refused, Ye Ke simply walked outside the cave, although there were trees to block it, but he could also feel the scorching heat of the sun.
She raised her hand towards a nearby tree, only to see that the air seemed to be compressed, and suddenly a cloud of air spewed out from Ye Ke's palm, breaking the trunk of the tree, "It's not bad, it's a little hurt." ”
