Chapter 6 Giant Turtle Fishing
The house was separated and things were tidied up, but the room was empty, lacking furniture such as beds, tables and chairs. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The people of Yanbu are sleeping directly on the ground, and they also sit on the ground, and there is no table or chair.
It's just that Gongliang is used to using beds, tables and chairs, and he has never been used to sleeping on the ground, so he asked Uncle Dashi to help make a bed and a pair of tables and chairs. This thing is very simple to make, but it is to cut a few rough pieces of wood and rivet them together, and no one here cares whether you look good or not, and you don't have to make it very fine.
After the thing was made, Gongliang was very satisfied, and felt a very primitive reckless taste.
But Oishi is not interested in this, because everyone is used to sleeping on the floor and sitting on the floor, and they have no feeling for sleeping in the bed or sitting on the chair.
Beds, tables and chairs, and kitchens.
The kitchen is the most important thing, it is here to dominate your appetite and the flavors of your life.
The Yanbe people are very rough about the eating method, which is nothing more than boiling and roasting. If you can build a wood stove and build an iron pot in the kitchen, you can use it for frying, steaming, etc., without having to eat the same food every day. Gongliang doesn't have any hobbies, he just likes to eat something delicious.
Building a firewood stove is very simple, Gongliang's family used to be in the countryside, and he has seen a few times to build a stove.
There's no skill in this thing, it's just a matter of taking things and adding clay to build a fire.
There is a stone field near where the Yanbe boulder is located, where the tribe takes stones, and there are many useless stone chips, so Gongliang went to pick up some and came back to build the stove. As for the clay for the stove, there is no cement here, but there is a lot of sticky soil in the ditch under the water spring of Yanbe, which is just right for use.
Gongliang first found a few relatively flat large stones and put them on the ground as the foundation of the stove, and then began to build the stove with a layer of soil and a layer of stones.
In one day, with the help of Xiao Shi and Xiao Xiao Shi, Gongliang built the stove.
Because he is small now, the stove is not very high, about a meter, and he will build another one when he grows taller. The stove was divided into two layers, with firewood burning on the top and ashes on the bottom, during which he went to the blacksmith and asked Yehan for a few iron bars to put in the middle as a compartment. After the stove is built, there must be a chimney as a vent, there is no tile chimney here, so I can only go to Lao Wu to help make a few stones.
Although his body is only nine years old, he has the soul of a thirty-year-old man, and it is really worse for him to ask for things again and again with a shy face and pretending to be innocent, which is really worse than killing him.
So, after the kitchen stove was built, he began to plan to store food.
If you have something in your hand, you can barter it when you ask someone for something, and you don't have to ask for it with a shy face. The same is true for people in the tribe to ask for things from others, for example, when they go to Lao Wu to ask for stone tools or Yehan to ask for iron tools, they will take things from home and exchange them, although they belong to the same tribe, they are not obliged to provide these things to you for free.
The day after the stove was built, Gongliang and the Xiaoshi brothers went to dig wild vegetables and pick mushrooms, but this time he brought an extra animal skin bag.
When he was picking mushrooms, he put the good ones in a bag of hides, and put the rest in a basket to take back and eat.
When he brought back the mushrooms in the bag of hides, he took them out and dried them. Soon, Gongliang stored a bunch of wild mushrooms. He took out some of it and went to Lao Wu and asked him to help make a pool and a stone jar. The sink was placed in the kitchen for washing, while the stone jar was intended for pickling, and the stone jar was intended for brewing.
The wild fruits here are very abundant, and when he and Xiaoshi go out to pick wild vegetables, they can often eat wild fruits, and they are all big and sweet, so he plans to make wine, but it is not known whether it can be brewed.
"Moo..."
When he returned to the tribe after digging wild vegetables again, Gongliang saw a giant turtle barking on the shore again. These guys are very arrogant, they are not afraid of people at all, and some even climb to the shore to play during the day. However, it is very clever, and as soon as the tribal warrior runs over, it immediately burrows into the water.
This time, Gongliang has always had an idea, that is, to kill the giant turtle.
The giant turtle is actually a big turtle, Gongliang's hometown used to be in Fujian, and there is a delicacy called stewed turtle with hen and pork belly, which is delicious and very delicious. I don't know what this thing tastes like?
In addition, there are many things by the stream, such as wild vegetables, such as river clams, such as hairy crabs, such as fish and shrimp, if the harmful giant turtles in the stream are cleaned up, those wild vegetables, fish and shrimp and other things by the stream will not be as many as you want.
So, when he got home, he began to think about how to kill the giant turtle.
He is small and has little strength, so he can only outwit him.
When he was a student before, he saw a secret method of fishing for turtles, that is, to hide the embroidery needle in the pig's liver and put it on the shore. The turtle eats by swallowing, and the embroidery needle will swallow the pig's liver vertically. The embroidery needle is tied with a rope, and when the turtle swallows something, the rope is tightened, and the embroidery needle gets stuck in the turtle's throat and can't run away. However, this method can deal with ordinary small turtles, but it is useless against large turtles like giant turtles. There is another way, that is, to find a toad, which is still by the stream, and you can find the turtle the next day.
The toad is delicious, and the soft-shelled turtle likes to eat it, but the toad is poisonous, so the soft-shelled turtle dies after eating.
It's just that this method has no effect on the giant turtle, because after coming for so long, Gongliang has not seen a single toad. What's more, the giant turtle is so big, where to find such a big toad to eat.
This doesn't work, that doesn't work, after thinking about it, Gongliang didn't come up with any good way. Suddenly, he remembered the wild pepper he found a while ago.
Wild pepper is extremely spicy, if you hide it in the meat and give it to the giant turtle to eat, I don't know what the effect will be?
Wild pepper is unbearable just by smelling it, not to mention eating it, it should be able to kill the giant turtle.
Thinking of this method, Gongliang took action, and first went to Xiaoshi Emu to ask for a large piece of animal meat. Xiao Shi Eminem didn't say anything and gave it to him directly. After taking the meat, he smashed it so that it was easy for the giant turtle to digest when it was eaten. After the beating, he didn't rush to stuff the wild pepper, and ran to find a few big hairy crabs. Although there are no hairy crabs on the shore plains, there are always a few that climb up. After catching the hairy crab, he took out the crab meat and mixed it into the meat, and then kneaded the wild pepper and put it in the meat.
When kneading wild peppers, he especially wore animal skins, but a spicy smell still came to his nose. He hurriedly took his things to the stream to make bait, so that the whole house would not be full of spicy smell.
After stuffing the wild pepper, he hid the big iron hook that Ye Han gave him in the meat, and then cut a few tough mountain vines and tied them on the big iron hook, and then put the meat not far from the stream to catch the giant turtle, and the mountain vine was tied to a thick tree trunk, so that the meat would not be dragged away by the giant turtle.
After doing this, Gongliang ran far away, so as not to be eaten by the giant turtle that came ashore.
"Ah Liang, can you really catch a big fish like this?" The eyes of the Xiao Shi brothers, who acted with Gongliang, were full of doubts.
"It should be possible!" Gongliang didn't know if he could do it.
Tao, who was guarding the gate of the village, didn't say anything, just watched a few little guys play. He treated it like a child's play.
After guarding the gate for a long time, he didn't see the giant turtle take the bait, and Gongliang was frustrated. It seems that this method doesn't work, so I don't bother to care, and I plan to come back tomorrow to watch. So, I took Brother Xiaoshi back to eat. In the middle of the night, he faintly and trance-like heard a loud moo, and he didn't know which giant turtle was going crazy again.
Gongliang rolled over and fell into a deep sleep.
