Chapter 32: Midnight Supper
These small stoves were built according to the mud stove built outside the cave by Ye Ke, but they did not dig a pit in the ground, but got a lot of stones to build it.
Three flat stones with a wide side flattened, enclosing an inverted trapezoid, the short side is not sealed, and it is used to put a burning wood fire into it, and the upper mouth is just enough to set up a small pot, although it is not round, but it can barely be used.
Seeing that there were still a lot of remaining stones on the side, Ye Ke asked Xing Han to help make two, bowls for soup later, and a simple table, ready to put meat pieces for a while,
The prey just picked was still a tusked beast cub, Ye Ke found that most of the prey hunted by the tribe were tusked beasts, thinking that this kind of beast should have the same strong reproductive ability as pigs, and it was more than ten in a lifetime.
Seeing Xing Han use a sharp claw to disembowel the fanged beast very neatly, Ye Ke was very envious, looked down at his little hand, and thought that if he could have it, then a sharp claw would be good, although it was a little unhygienic, but it was convenient.
"Xinghan, help me cut out the fat meat. Ye Ke remembered that when stewing meat at home, most of them had to be fried in oil before being stewed in water, which was not easy to have a fishy smell, but there was no ginger and cooking wine here, and I didn't know if it would be delicious after copying.
"Come back, come back!" people saw from a distance, the group of people who went to clean the cauldron and fetched water by the way, were slowly holding or carrying the pot to this side.
Thinking of Xing Han's relaxed appearance at the beginning, 'These people are not as powerful as Xing Han!' Somehow, Ye Ke suddenly felt a little proud in his heart.
Holding a small pot full of water, Tucker came to Ye Ke, "Sister Ke'er, here you go!" Then put the pot on the ground, ran away again, and after a while, he came over with a push of dry wood, and took the initiative to light a fire in the stone stove.
"Hehe, Tucker is awesome!" Ye Ke touched Tucker's hair without hesitation, such a cute and sensible child, in the previous world, it was rare to see.
However, Ye Ke planned to refine some oil to fry the meat, so he asked Tucker to find an empty pot and put it on the stove.
"Ahem, cough, cough!" Although the wood smoke burned in the tribe was very small, and the fire was very strong, the stove without a chimney was still very choking at first.
When the fire was burning, there was no smoke coming out, and Ye Ke put a little bit of the fat that had just been separated into the stone pot first, thinking that refining a little base oil would come out, and it would be better to draw out the oil of so much fat in a while.
"It's so fragrant~" Tucker stood on the side, sniffing with his nose moving, and his small appearance with an intoxicated expression was very cute.
Ignoring Xing Han's eyes glaring at him as much as possible, Tucker twisted his hands behind his back, opened a pair of big eyes, and asked in a soft voice, "Sister Kerr, what is this, it's so fragrant!"
At this time, Grandma Ona ran over from the side and bowed a little apologetically, "Lord Witch Doctor, Han Boy, Tucker is not sensible, I'll take him away!"
"What's the matter with this kid, he said he would leave after delivering his things, don't disturb the witch doctor, why is he still here." Grandma Ona was so tired, and the two cubs were disobedient, but what the witch doctor was doing was so fragrant.
Tucker looked at his mother ignorantly, and didn't quite understand, "Obviously, I was still eating with Sister Kerr at that time, why can't we eat together when I become a witch doctor." He just thinks that Ye Ke is very powerful, and he can use that kind of grass to help the people stop the bleeding and let everyone eat food.
Seeing Grandma Ona being so solemn, Ye Kezhi was a little uncomfortable, "Grandma Ona, let him stay here, there are a lot of people over there and it's messy, it's not good if Tucker runs away." ”
Now that Wolf Leap has ordered the people to start boiling water to treat and divide the prey, they are in a mess, and Ona is also helping to take care of the wounded, and she really can't look down on Tucker, the cub.
looked at Xinghan again, and saw that he didn't say anything, so he let Tucker stay here first, and nagged him for a long time to be obedient and stop making trouble.
"It seems that the mother is the same everywhere, but..." Ye Ke looked around at the clansmen and asked strangely, "Why is there only one female here in Xinghan?"
"Could it be that these injured males are all singles?" Ye Ke looked at the number of people on the scene, there were about a small number of people in the clan, and she remembered that the game system showed that there were about a hundred people in the "Source Tribe".
In fact, Ye Ke thought of part of the reason, because there are few females here, there are still many single males in the tribe, and some will not even have females in their lifetime.
Even those females who have a partner will have several males around, although there is only one partner, but the others are willing to protect the females together.
Therefore, every time the hunting party goes out, the females will take turns to leave the guarding males around, and if the males who are not in bonding are injured, the females generally ignore them.
Even if the bonded partner is injured or dies, the female can take the initiative to break the contract and wait for the next year to choose a new partner, so it is the woman's consistent practice to ignore the injured or disabled male.
However, there are also females who are not allowed to come here by other guarding males even if they care, and the night is very humid and stuffy, and it is very cold and easy to get sick in the middle of the night, and the "delicate" female can't stand it.
"It's cold at night, and I'm afraid of getting sick. Xing Han looked at the clothes on Ye Ke's body, his nose wrinkled slightly, thinking that after eating for a while, he would go back with the little female, even if it was a witch doctor, he had to pay attention to his body.
"Oh~" Ye Ke used a branch to pull the fat that was already bubbling with oil, while recalling those sturdy females, and sighed silently in his heart, "It turns out that they are all fat~" "Then wait a while, let Grandma Ona go back to rest~"
"Hmm~" Xing Han responded, and a pair of wolf eyes looked around at the clansmen who were looking this way.
Seeing that the meat just put in was almost refined, and the bottom of the pot became oily, Ye Ke put all the remaining fat meat in it again, "Zizizi..." There was another sound, the fragrance was even greater, and Tucker, who was guarding the side, couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
The sound of "Zizizi~" rang out, and after a while, Wolf Yue also smelled it, "Cold~Ye... Doctor Witch, what are you doing to eat?"
Although Ye Ke's identity has been confirmed, Wolf Yue still has the same attitude, and he feels that it is easier to get along like this.
Thinking of Ye Ke's gentle and amiable personality, as well as the smile that laughed like a spring breeze, Wolf Yue always felt that she wouldn't care about this.
