024 - Mushroom soup

Carrying the clay back to his quarters, he commanded the two guards to put the clay in place before the two returned.

To the surprise of the thief, it was Yukina who hadn't come until now.

Regarding this, although Ji Thief was a little curious in his heart, he just thought that there might be something that Xue didn't come to be a reason to reveal it.

He lit a bonfire, spread the clay in a pile inside the cave, and then ran outside and poured water over the clay with his hands.

Over and over again, the thief ran countless times, tired like a dog, before he was drenched with clay.

Sitting on the ground, Ji Thief gasped heavily: "Damn, if there is something to do, I will work so hard." ”

With such an idea, the thief is even more hopeful for the appearance of the vessel.

At the same time, he was full of energy, forgetting about hunger and rest.

Taking advantage of the night, the thief mixed the clay and water, kneaded them into a ball, like a dough, and was very busy.

When the clay was almost ready, the thief kneaded the clay into the shape of a vessel, but after all, there was no mold, and the shape he made was really a little ugly, but even so, the thief was very happy.

At the same time, outside the cave, the faint sound of snow was heard.

"Warrior, are you there?"

Ji Thief was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said I'm here, come in.

When Xue walked in with a mysterious expression, Ji Thief asked curiously, "Girl, what's wrong with you?" ”

Xue sighed, looked left and right, took out a piece of meat from under the animal skin that wrapped her body, and said with a radiant expression: "Warrior, look what this is!"

Ji Thief snorted, his hands were covered with mud, and he asked in surprise, "Sister, where did you get this?"

Xue smiled innocently: "I caught two rabbits today, and the elders gave them to me." ”

Ji Thief recalled with some confusion that when he was distributing food before, he didn't see the elders distribute snow meat.

Did you divide the meat before you did?

Well, it can only be so.

Thinking like this, Ji Thief was inevitably a little angry, he had to avoid himself for this piece of meat, why, he was afraid that his eyes would be red.

Xue looked at the thief whose face changed color on the side, but she thought that the thief was dissatisfied with her own approach, and for a while, she asked a little weakly: "Warrior, don't you like it?"

Hearing that the thief returned to his senses, he hurriedly shook his head: "No, no, then again, sister, you are a little brave today, and you caught two rabbits at once." ”

Snow scratched her head and giggled.

When the thief saw this, he couldn't help but shake his head and smile, then sat back on the edge of the clay, pointed to the bonfire with his chin and said, "You go to the barbecue first, I still have to be busy for a while." ”

Xue Wenyan was stunned, watching Ji Thief kneading the half-finished crockpot, and couldn't help but wonder: "Warrior, are you playing with mud?"

Ji Thief snorted, stretched out his hand and pointed to the jar he made: "What do you mean by playing with mud, girl, look at it, this is not ordinary mud." ”

Xue squatted down, poked the jar made by the thief with her hand, and smiled: "Warrior, what are you pinching, it's so strange." ”

Ji thief hurriedly protected the jar: "Don't poke it, it's broken." ”

Seeing the appearance of Ji Thief's baby, Xue couldn't help but feel a little sour in her heart, pinched her waist and said angrily: "What's the big deal, I will also pinch the mud." ”

Ji Thief was stunned: "You will too?"

Xue nodded, and took out a ball of mud and pinched it in her hand, and after a while, Ji Thief looked at what she pinched out, and was stunned to understand what it was: "Uh, sister, brother, my eyes are a little bad, what are you pinching?"

Xue Huan said happily: "I'm pinching the warrior, don't you look like it." ”

Ji Thief patted his head and nodded with a clear conscience: "Well, it's like, it's too similar, so what sisters, you go to the barbecue first." ”

Snow snorted and reached for the meat.

"Wait, wash your hands first. Ji Thief said.

Xue said impatiently, "Got it." ”

So saying, she went outside to the waterhole to wash her hands, and then came back, took a twig, threaded it, and roasted it.

The two men were busy with their own business, and neither bothered anyone.

After a while, the meat was cooked, and the thief successfully pinched out a clay pot and a few bowls.

He drove the snow aside, and then used the remaining clay to pile up a fifty-centimeter-high kiln around the campfire, and then pulled out all the waste wood that was burning in it with a branch, threw the charcoal that had been processed during the day into it, and after relighting it, when the fire was almost up, he carefully put the clay pots and bowls into it.

Snow ate the meat and looked strangely: "Warrior, what are those black things, are they also wood? and why did you throw the mud into it?" ”

The thief turned around and said, "First, this black thing is called charcoal, and second, what I put in it is not mud, but a clay pot. ”

Xue nodded, handed over a piece of meat and said, "Well, crockpot, but what's the use of that?"

The thief opened his mouth and bit a piece of meat into his mouth, not noticing the snow that was blushing because of his movements.

"Girl, let me ask you, do you like to eat barbecue every day?" said Ji Thief.

Xue nodded vigorously: "Of course, the barbecue is so delicious, of course I like to eat it every day." ”

Ji Thief patted his head: "It's not a question of whether it's delicious or not, but eating barbecue every day, won't you get tired of it?"

Xue shook her head: "How can you get tired? ”

Looking at the barbecue handed over by Xue, the thief with dirty hands took another bite, and he knew that he couldn't explain it clearly, so he said vaguely: "If you could eat meat every day, would you choose to eat it grilled or boiled?"

"What is boiling, how is boiling?"

Ji Thief pointed to the clay pot inside the bonfire: "That's what you cook." ”

Xue looked at the crockpot in disbelief: "Will this work?"

Ji Thief nodded, thinking about explaining to Xue, but then thinking that the current primitive people didn't have the concept of cooking things in their minds at all, and for a while, he gave up, and he sighed: "Anyway, you'll definitely understand after that." ”

The snow sighed, quieted down, and didn't ask again.

The two sat quietly, and the thief added charcoal to the campfire while opening his mouth to eat the roast meat that the snow brought to his mouth.

Although there were a few times during the period, I accidentally bit Xue's hand, which made Xiao Nizi's face red, but looking at the two, one was an unintentional move, and the other was faintly expectant, which is also an interesting thing.

After eating the barbecue, Xue sat down for a while and left.

The thief continued to be busy, looking at the crockpots and bowls in the middle of the bonfire, and the thief, who was originally a little sleepy, suddenly found himself in a lot of energy.

He rubbed his hands together and kept adding charcoal to the campfire.

When the next day, the charcoal that had been collected for a day was exhausted, the thief looked at the red crockpot in the kiln with red eyes, resisted the urge to go up and get it, and grinned with a big smirk: "Finally, it's finally done." ”

When the temperature of the crockpot cooled down a bit, the thief hurriedly reached in, took out the crockpot and knocked it with his hand, listening to the dull sound of the crockpot, not at all like dried mud, the thief knew that he had succeeded.

He held the crockpot that was extremely rough in both workmanship and condition, and the baby was not good.

Suddenly, around the surface of the clay pot, there were several cobweb lines that emerged from the firing.

Seeing this, Ji Thief was distressed, and confirmed several times, and was relieved when he found that these cobweb patterns did not affect the quality of the crockpot.

Carefully placing the clay pot and the fired porcelain bowl in the cave and piling them up, Ji Thief Fu looked at the charcoal burning in the bonfire again, and couldn't help pinching his chin and remembering.

Charcoal is indeed a good thing, more powerful than firewood.

You know, if it weren't for the charcoal prepared in advance, the thief wouldn't have been able to burn the crockpot last night.

If he only relied on wood, it was estimated that the thief would at least take a day and a night.

"No, I need to prepare some charcoal. Ji Thief said.

He wasn't willing to stop at this crockpot, after all, are you holding water or cooking?

Therefore, Ji Thief thought very clearly, since he has successfully made a crockpot, why not make a few?

Cooking rice, water for water, and storing food, storing some small tools...

Anyway, the more the merrier.

Ji Thief smirked.

With this in mind, the thief did not feel sleepy, and set off again to the top of the mountain surrounded by the valley to collect firewood.

Don't ask why the thief didn't cut down the trees in front of the cave, those small trees that were easy to cut down, they had already been cleaned by the thief, and the rest of them, the stone chips couldn't break through the defense of the trees at all, you had the kung fu to cut them down, and you had already collected a large amount of firewood.

With this in mind, the thief had already come to the mountain, and while he was selecting suitable firewood, he looked at the forest to see what fungi and plants could be used to cook soup.

It's like mushrooms, fungus, or something.

After a busy morning's work, Ji Thief collected enough firewood for the next whole kiln of charcoal, and in addition, he also collected a lot of wild mushrooms.

Of course, the thief didn't collect all the mushrooms, like those with bright colors, they were all excluded for him.

Just kidding, children understand that the more beautiful the mushroom, the more poisonous it is, so wouldn't the thief know?

After piling up the fruits of the morning, the thief was satisfied with the mushrooms on the edge of the pool, and took the clay pot that had been dried and filled half a jar of water, and then he made a simple stove in the cave with stones mixed with earth, and on the stove, a hole was deliberately left according to the size of the clay pot.

When everything was done, the thief first dried the stove with firewood, and then, lighting a bonfire, setting up a crockpot, and began to prepare for his first mushroom soup in a primitive society!
