Chapter 21: Bone broth
Looking at the busy females around the bonfire stand, Jiang Qingyang opened her little face and chatted with Qing and Cao in a low voice. She wasn't sure if the food from primitive times was the one she knew, and she had to be prepared.
"Grass, what do you eat on weekdays besides barbecue?"
The grass was pleasantly eaten with barbecue, and the rich meat aroma was several times more fragrant than what I had eaten before. Before I knew it, the grass ate more than twice as much as before, and finally I couldn't eat it anymore before I stopped!
"Fruit, the barbecue is too greasy. Females do not dare to eat too much and are prone to bad stomachs. Grass licked her fingers with satisfaction, and her little eyes were still looking at the bonfire, the roasted meat was full of fragrant barbecue.
The prey, which was usually enough to eat two meals, was eaten in one meal after being smeared with salt.
Jiang Qing looked around, there were about hundreds of people in the Wind Chasing Tribe, compared to the tribe with only a few dozen people. The Windchaser Tribe is a large tribe, and the Windchaser Tribe has a high geographical location, which can defend against wild beast sneak attacks, droughts and floods.
"You don't eat vegetables?" Looking at it, there were more than a dozen cubs running in the clearing, the oldest was about fourteen or fifteen years old, and the youngest was two or three years old, playing and playing, adding a lot of vitality to the tribe.
However, compared to adult males and females, these cubs are small and look a little malnourished.
"What are vegetables?" Qing asked curiously, and the grass also had a confused look.
Jiang Qing took a breath, she couldn't expect them to know what vegetables were, calming down, Jiang Qing looked out of the clearing a few times, and suddenly landed on a wild vegetable.
He stepped forward and picked the wild vegetables and shook the soil from them. It's very fresh, very tender, and you know that it will be delicious when you look at it, after all, it is difficult to eat such authentic wild vegetables in the Celestial Empire.
"It's a wild vegetable, a type of vegetable." With a wave of the wild vegetables in his hand, there were three or four stone jars stacked next to the campfire, which were of good texture and should be able to be used for stewing.
Before the food could be eaten, Jiang Qing couldn't help but start calculating how to eat!
You can't blame Jiang Qing for her foodie attributes, it's really that the food here is too cranky, and she doesn't want to die early, she feels that it is necessary to be strong! Otherwise, she will definitely be the one who will be cheated in the end.
"Isn't this a weed? I've tasted it, and it tastes very bitter and not tasty. Qing shook his head, as the spouse of the former patriarch, Qing was not only responsible for the daily life of the tribe, but also responsible for finding new food.
Jiang Qing chuckled twice, finding quite a few identical wild vegetables nearby.
"Wild vegetables can only be eaten when they are fried or cooked, and they taste average when eaten raw." Jiang Qing explained with a smile, it seems that it is not that there is too little food in the primitive era, but that they don't know how to eat.
"Do you know how to eat?" Cao's eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked at Jiang Qing with burning eyes.
Around, other females who were close to each other looked at Jiang Qing. There is a lesson from the barbecue, and everyone has great trust in Jiang Qing.
Jiang Qing suddenly felt Alexander!
Wolf Mo tightened his eyebrows and stared at the weeds in Jiang Qing's hands, which he remembered were everywhere near the tribe. If it is really as Jiang Qing said, it can be eaten, maybe the tribe can survive this dry season safely.
"Can you eat it?"
It was a matter of survival for the tribe, and Wolf Mo's tone was a little hurried, and his cold face was full of expectations. The Beast God Continent is full of crises, and the Chasing Wind Tribe has survived the vicissitudes of life to the present, and the bitterness can be explained in a few words.
Jiang Qing nodded.
Greeting a pair of eyes full of longing, Jiang Qing said slowly: "In my tribe, it is not only this wild vegetable that can be eaten, but also birds and animals, swimming in the water, and walking on land...... All can be eaten. β
Hearing this, a deafening cheer erupted in the clearing.
"So, isn't it... Say, none of us will go hungry again? The grass stammered.
Starving?
Jiang Qing is not unfamiliar with this word, but it is a long-term memory.
"I'll do my best!"
In the face of these eyes full of expectation, she did not dare to deceive, it was a blasphemy of life.
Wolf Mo's cold face was cautious, and he grabbed Jiang Qing and held her in his arms. Whispered: "Thank you!" β
Jiang Qing's body stiffened, and shyness swept across her face.
Actually, she didn't do anything. In the face of Wolf Mo's gratitude, she felt guilty.
After eating the barbecue, the males will go out hunting, and the females will go about their day, cleaning up the remnants of the clearing. Escorted by males in search of new food around the tribe, the dry season is approaching and they need to prepare for the upcoming dry season.
Store enough food to survive the long dry season.
"Waitβ"
The female was seen holding the bones together in the clearing, intending to throw them away. Jiang Qing felt wasted and hurriedly stopped him.
"What's wrong?" Qing followed Jiang Qing, Wolf Mo had not yet married, and the daily life in the tribe was arranged by Qing and several older females.
"What did you do with these bones before?" Jiang Qing pointed to the three or four meters long and wide stone slabs in the clearing. There were quite a few bones piled on top, as well as some leftover minced meat. The internal organs are estimated to be buried when they are peeled!
"The bones are not tasty, and they are usually buried in the most remote places of the tribe! lest they attract wild beasts. Lan stood aside and explained softly. His eyes eagerly looked at Jiang Qing, and he looked at Qing with envy.
When will that kid come back for her?
"Buried?"
It's really a tyrannical treasure, and there are many ways to eat bones. The simplest is to boil bone broth and supplement calcium.
"What's wrong?" Seeing Jiang Qing's face surprised, Qing asked.
Jiang Qing looked at the bones on the stone slab, and then looked at the huge stone jar next to the bonfire not far away, and a thought rose from her heart, "It's too wasteful, the bones are very delicious to use to make soup, and they can also replenish the calcium that the human body lacks." β
"Soup?" Everyone looked at Jiang Qing inexplicably.
"Yes, make the soup." Jiang Qing nodded, pointed to the stone jar not far away and asked, "Aunt Qing, what is that stone jar usually used for?" β
Qing originally wanted Jiang Qing to call her the beast mother, but Jiang Qing was embarrassed to call her, and finally Wolf Mo compromised and asked Jiang Qing to call her aunt. Among the orcs who are familiar with each other in the tribe, they call the elders uncle and aunt. There is not much difference from the title of the Celestial Empire, Jiang Qing followed the customs of the countryside, and called Qing Aunt Qing.
He looked at Jiang Qing's line of sight and said, "This stone jar is used for sacrifices, and it is usually cleaned occasionally, so it is of little use." β
"Will the campfire stand under the stone jar work?"
"Yes, Jiang Qing, what are you going to do?"
Jiang Qing smiled mysteriously, "Boil the soup, Aunt Lan, can you find a few people to help clean these bones, and then put them in that stone jar, and pour two-thirds of the water into the stone jar." β
"Yes." Lan nodded, this stone jar is rarely used on weekdays except for sacrificial purposes.
In the tribe, it was also tried to stew meat in stone jars and eat it boiled. However, the taste was too bland, and the male tasted bored. The females will taste it, and in the long run, few people in the tribe will be willing to bother to stew meat.
The other females next to them heard that there was something delicious. Immediately, Ma Li followed Lan with animal skins wrapped in bones, and walked towards the tribe's river, where Qing arranged for three females to be responsible for cleaning the stone jar and adding water.
"Jiang Qing, how long does this bone broth take to boil?" The grass swallowed his saliva, and the smell of meat still lingered in his mouth, and he carried a large bundle of firewood to the bonfire where the stone jar was located, ready to make a fire and make soup.
Jiang Qing looked up at the sky, thought for a moment, and said, "At noon, the longer the bone broth is boiled, the better it tastes, and when these are ready, let's go to the forest for a walk." β
