Chapter 29: Determined
"Jiang Qing, do you still boil bone broth at night?" Sora licked the stone bowl and looked at Jiang Qing in prayer. The thin man, holding a stone bowl the size of a basin, looked very unkind.
Not only did he plead with an empty face, but even a few cubs were next to him, all of whom looked up at Jiang Qing with eager eyes.
Go without saying.
Jiang Qing was stunned for a moment, immediately smiled and nodded, and said, "There will be delicious bone broth to drink at night, but you have to do something for me later, can you?" ”
"Yes, let me do anything."
When I heard it, I still had bone broth to drink at night. In an instant, these cubs were very happy, and a few of them were excited, and they all became beasts. Looking at the cute beast ears on the top of the cub's head, Jiang Qing only felt itchy hands.
When the bone broth was almost drunk, Jiang Qing took the branch and climbed the fire and dug out the sweet potato buried inside.
"Jiang Qing, is the lump healed?" The grass was lazy, rubbing his stomach with one hand and shaving in the fire with the other.
Jiang Qing poked it with a branch, nodded, and said, "What kind of lumps, this is a sweet potato." I think it's almost time to cook. Grass, you ask everyone to dig out all the sweet potatoes and eat them. ”
Thinking that he could eat sweet potatoes, when he drank the soup just now, Jiang Qing deliberately kept his stomach.
However, the others are probably not so lucky! I finally drank delicious bone broth, oyster mushrooms and wild vegetables, so I naturally had enough to eat. No, when everyone heard the grass say that there were delicious sweet potatoes buried in the fire, they suddenly wailed.
"Jiang Qing, how to eat sweet potatoes in this place?" Qing Bi awkwardly recited the word sweet potato, a little hot, but Qing looked at it curiously and didn't let go, a faint sweet fragrance drilled into his nose, and Qing suddenly felt that he was a little hungry when he had just filled his stomach!
Wolf Rui squatted aside, stretched out his pink little paws, and rolled a sweet potato bigger than him from side to side, making two purr sounds from time to time.
Jiang Qing picked up the cool sweet potato, stood up, "Peel off the outer layer of skin and eat it directly." ”
As he spoke, he lowered his head and took a bite. It's fragrant and sweet! Compared with the roasted sweet potatoes sold on the streets of Tianchao, the taste is several times sweeter, and when you eat it in one bite, your mouth is full of sweet potatoes.
It's like the sweet potatoes that Aunt Fan baked when she was a child. It has a blissful taste, and once you eat it, you can never forget this taste.
I don't know, are Aunt Fan who is far away in the Celestial Empire okay?
"It's delicious...... said the grass, not forgetting to stuff sweet potatoes in her mouth, but the soup she drank before was too strong, and now it is difficult to stuff things into her stomach.
"Jiang Qing, I regret drinking too much soup just now?"
"Me too, hold me to death!"
"Jiang Qing, I remember you said that sweet potatoes can be stored for a long time, is it true?" Qing took a small bite of sweet potatoes, and there was no way to eat more barbecue just now, and drank a lot of bone broth. But I really can't give up the rare delicacy of sweet potatoes, so I can only eat them in small bites to satisfy my appetite.
Looking at the happy smiling faces of the tribesmen, he breathed a sigh of relief, forgetting how long it had been since everyone in the tribe had eaten so much, and they still showed such a satisfied smile.
"It's true, if you store it in a cellar or a cave, sweet potatoes can be stored for months without spoiling." Jiang Qing nodded, compared to oyster mushrooms and wild vegetables, sweet potatoes are more practical and convenient.
"Great, so we don't have to worry about running out of food during the dry season." Qing was ecstatic, she hadn't forgotten that the sweet potatoes she saw in the forest in the morning could fill at least two or three caves. This is still a preliminary guess and estimate, and the real number will not be known until all the sweet potatoes are dug up.
"Aunt Qing, in fact, meat can also be stored......" Jiang Qing looked at the prey stacked in the clearing, she thought, maybe she should think about the next thing she will live in the Chasing Wind Tribe.
After all, one cannot live a life immersed in memories. Leaving Zhou Heng, coming here may be the luckiest thing in her life, where she doesn't need to think about catching up with a few jobs, and she doesn't need to think about living expenses and utility bills every month......
Perhaps, life is a little harder. But compared to before, she feels that life is more fulfilling and hopeful.
"What?" At this time, not only did Qing shout, but most of the people in the tribe looked at Jiang Qing in shock. If meat could be stored, the dry season might not be too difficult for them.
The dry season is difficult. The main thing is that it is difficult to hunt prey, males do not eat meat, and it is difficult to preserve the body. In order to hunt prey, males must go out hunting, even during the dangerous dry season.
"Gollum!" Many people couldn't help but swallow their saliva, which was excited and happy.
“…… Jiang Qing? Qing grabbed Jiang Qing's hand fiercely, and his tone trembled a little.
Wolf Mo patted Qing's hands and motioned for Qing to calm down, "Jiang Qing, can meat really be stored?" You know, the tribe has tried many methods before, but none of them have succeeded......"
The golden eyes were as deep as an abyss, firmly locking on Jiang Qing, which shocked the tribe more than discovering things like oyster mushrooms and wild vegetables. After all, oyster mushrooms and wild vegetables can only change the taste for males. What really makes them care about meat is meat, and the dry season is difficult, mainly because they can't eat meat, which makes them unable to conserve their physical strength.
"Yes, but salt is needed." Jiang Qing nodded cautiously.
"Yay!" After receiving Jiang Qing's affirmative answer, there was a deafening cheer in the tribe in an instant. If the meat can be stored, it means a long dry season, and the males do not have to worry about being killed by wild beasts.
"That's great!" Qing happily wiped the tears rolling down from the corners of his eyes, couldn't wait to kiss Jiang Qing on the face a few times, rubbed his hands, and said, "Jiang Qing needs to prepare something, I'll prepare it right away......"
As he spoke, he couldn't wait to do it immediately.
The wolf ink blackened his face and said, "Mother beast, shouldn't you forget that the tribe is going to hold a half-year bonfire tonight, right?" When it comes to meat, it's not too late for Zhang Luo tomorrow. ”
After a busy morning, Jiang Qing was actually very sleepy, if it weren't for the enthusiasm of everyone, she would have slept to death nine times out of ten! I haven't really slept here.
"Also, when I see that I am happy, I forget about it." Qing patted his forehead, said a few words with a smile, and told Wolf Mo to take care of Jiang Qing, and left.
She still has something to prepare.
"Jiang Qing, let's prepare the food for the campfire party at night." Grass wants to show off his skills.
Wolf Mo pulled Jiang Qing, frowned and said, "She's a little tired, rest for an hour first, you come to her later......"
As he spoke, he left the open space with Jiang Qing in his arms.
On the other side, Ya stood beside Granny Qian, and said happily: "Granny Qian, Jiang Qing must be the messenger given to us by the beast god!" ”
The shallow mother-in-law smiled, and her pleated face bloomed with a kind smile.
"Ya, watch Fan Qian." Granny Asa suddenly said something irrelevant, and her wise eyes looked at the distant sky, not knowing what she was thinking.
"Fan Qian, what's wrong with her?" Ya said confusedly.
Granny shallow shook her head, "I'm not omnipotent, I can just see some of the future vaguely." ”
"Yes, I see!" Ya nodded. Thinking about it, I'll talk to Galen later, and let him look at Dian Fanqian. Tonight is the semi-annual bonfire, and she needs to be busy with a lot of things.
Seeing that Ya didn't take it to heart, Granny Asa didn't say anything, shook her head and left the clearing.
