Chapter 58
Two days later, the wound on Gu Xi's shoulder was completely scabbed, and he could simply move his arms, and finally he no longer had to be fed by Huo Bai, this kind of feeling that he couldn't move his arms and even had to be supported by someone to get out of bed he didn't want to experience it anymore. {We don't write novels, we're just web text porters-
The courtyard where the two live now is the empty house of the Eagle Clan, and now it is the most lively courtyard of the Eagle Clan, the people of the Eagle Clan dare not rely too far, they all watch from afar, Huo Bai is on fire in the yard, and the different aromas of three meals a day stimulate the taste buds of these people, not only the sub-beasts, but even the orcs of the Eagle Clan have come to watch.
Extract oil from animal fat, and then use oil to make all kinds of food, even if it is a green leafy vegetable, it tastes different from the usual smell, the people of the eagle clan are amazed at the different practices of food and Huo Bai's cooking skills, they watched from afar, and after seeing it, they went home and began to toss the food at home according to Huo Bai's appearance, their learning ability is very strong, although it is not as fragrant as Huo Bai's cooking, but it is also better than the food they originally stayed in the fire to roast and boil.
For a while, the entire Eagle Clan was filled with the fragrance of various foods.
The patriarch Feng Qing harassed Huo Bai for two days, Huo Bai couldn't bear to take him to the square and beat him several times in front of the whole clan, and finally the clansmen who knew what the patriarch's character was were used to seeing it, or Gu Xi loosened his mouth and let Huo Bai play a set of Tai Chi boxing, let him think about it himself, and the two of them were much quieter.
Huo Bai took An An to hunt in the mountains, and Feng Qing, the patriarch of the fart worms, also went to observe.
Gu Xi picked up all kinds of things sent by Feng Qing and his clansmen, because the clansmen all thought that they had learned Huo Bai's cooking skills, so they must give them gifts, so that now the courtyard was almost full of things.
It was among these things that Gu Xi discovered a very important and common food here.
That's ...... Corn!
Half an arm's length, twice as large as ordinary corn, wrapped in dried leaves, yellow and full.
This is one of the main foods of the Eagle Clan in winter, the people of the Eagle Clan did not know that this kind of thing could be eaten at the beginning, and in the winter, there was a hungry sub-beast to pick it back, and at first did not know how to eat it, so it was casually boiled in water with wild vegetable leaves, and it was accidentally found that this fruit tasted very good, so it became one of the main foods stored by the Eagle Clan in winter.
The people here call him Bangguo.
Gu Xi pondered that if they wanted to grow corn in the north, they would have another staple food, corn ground into flour can be used as flour, made into steamed buns and the like, as well as sweet corn roasting, corn stir-fried shrimp, corn and bone broth stewed together, Gu Xi couldn't help but pursed his lips and decided to cook one first to taste the taste.
The hot water in the pot has been warm, as long as you add some wood to the fire, Gu Xi used a bone knife to cut the corn into four pieces and put it in the pot.
After a while, it boiled with a lurch, and the rich aroma of corn came to his nose, and from the fragrance, Gu Xi knew that this corn must be fragrant and glutinous.
Patiently waiting for the corn to be cooked, Gu Xi couldn't wait to take it out, let it cool for a while, then picked up a piece and gnawed it, squinted with satisfaction, puffed out his cheeks and chewed, although it was a little hard because of the taste because of the air drying, but as long as he cooked it for a while, it would definitely be more delicious, compared to the corn bought on the street, this one was much better!
"Brother Xiaoxi, do you like to eat stick fruit?" Hua Que happened to come in and saw Gu Xi eating corn: "Our clan has a lot of cobs and fruits, and we haven't finished eating them until now. ”
"Do you have a lot of them here?" Gu Xi asked.
Hua Que laughed proudly: "There are too many, the continuous mountains are full of stick fruits, and we can't pick them all, but we all eat it in winter, and we usually collect other food." ”
Gu Xi silently envied, it turned out that not all orc tribes lacked food like the north, if the mountains in the north were also full of food, then everyone would not have to starve.
"Actually, we didn't know before, many sub-beasts in the clan will be hungry in winter, and when I was young, there was not enough food in the clan in winter" Speaking of this, Hua Que was a little sad, if I had known that there was such good food, there would not be starvation in the clan, but now the situation is very good, Hua Que is very satisfied, he continued: "But my brother is very good at hunting, even if the animals are hibernating, he has a way to get me food, some animals are hidden very deep, my brother can also get me ... …”
Let Hua Que think about it in pieces, Gu Xi continued to gnaw on the corn, he had already recognized the attributes of the other party's words, although this little Asian beast had become a family, but his temperament was very childish, and he had learned a lot of things about the Eagle Clan from Hua Que's mouth in the past few days.
The Eagle tribe is distributed in several mountains, and houses have been built in the mountains in a suitable flat area, and the advantage of being able to fly at high altitude allows them to overlook the entire mountainous area when patrolling, and there is almost no invasion of wild beasts.
They use the leaves of the large-leaved trees in the south to spread on the roof, the leaves are large, the roof is thick, not perishable, as long as you replace it regularly, it can play a waterproof role, and it is very cool in the middle of summer, the orcs bring the leaves from the south to store them in the water, and the leaves are enough in the driest time of the whole summer.
The air-dried leaves are piled up in the yard and have turned a light brown color, which is very tough, and the people of the Eagle Clan sometimes use it to wrap things.
"By the way, Brother Xiaoxi, I will bring you my favorite dried fish, which my brother brought back from the fish clan on the other side of the Blue Lagoon!" Hua Que said happily holding the small dried fish wrapped in leaves.
The small dried fish is only finger long, put it in the mouth, it has its natural salty and umami taste, the fish is full of strength, it is more delicious after chewing for a long time, there is no fishy smell at all, if you add some chili peppers, wouldn't it be more praised, Gu Xi thought so, but when he heard the fish clan, he suddenly came to the spirit.
"There's still a fish clan in the Blue Lagoon!?" This was the first time Gu Xi had heard about the race by the sea.
"They live in the sea, in fact, they look like us, but they have long tails whether they are sub-beasts or orcs, and they feed on the animals in the lake, but they are not very friendly, and every time they only change small dried fish, they will take care of people of other races......"
Gu Xi listened with his ears pricked up, and couldn't help but imagine in his mind, if he looked similar to an orc clan, then he was probably not as beautiful as the legendary mermaid, right? The stories of those tears turning into pearls really deceive children.
"Will they go ashore? How do you usually exchange things? Gu Xi asked again.
"They put shells on the rocks that come out of the water, and we know that they need to exchange things, and every year on the exchange day is when they come up the most people, but they can't leave the water for too long, but there are so many treasures in the water, so many shiny stones......"
Gu Xi listened to him carefully, and couldn't wait to see it with his own eyes, maybe he could exchange a lot of different things and come back.
"Brother Xiaoxi, eat quickly!" Hua Que said diligently, and simply put the whole package of dried fish in Gu Xi's hand.
Gu Xi was drawn back by the touch in his hand, and his eyes were firmly locked on the light brown leaf in his hand, which was exactly the same as paper.
This time, Gu Xi couldn't even care about eating the dried fish, so he quickly put the dried fish into the stone bowl, spread out the leaves in his hand, and pulled out a piece of firewood from the fire, Gu Xi drew a few times on the leaves, and was pleasantly surprised to find that it could be used as paper!
"Wow!!" At this time, Hua Que on the side screamed, holding a bowl full of dried fish in his hand, and he stared at Gu Xi's pattern on the paper with big eyes in disbelief.
In fact, Gu Xi just habitually wrote his name, a Gu character.
"This ...... What kind of symbol is this? "In Hua Que's cognition, when a tribe appears to represent the tribe's self-generation, it means that the tribe has been freed from hunger and cold, because they have the energy to study symbols, and their eagle clan also has its own symbols, only the smartest witches can.
I heard that the tribes in the north have a very bad environment.
But Gu Xi's appearance looks better than them, which is also something he has always wondered about.
"It's words, from my tribe," Guxi said.
Hua Que stared at this Gu Xi enviously, ah, Gu Xi is so powerful, he can make good food, know medical skills, and can only understand the symbols that only great witches understand!
Gu Xi lowered his head and wrote again on the leaves, not noticing that Xiao Huaque's gaze at him had risen to the point of incomparable admiration.
And Hua Que also set Gu Xi as the goal of his own efforts in his heart.
He wants to become a powerful sub-beast like Gu Xi.
