Chapter 882: Delicious Soil (3-in-1)
Salt, for people in this era, really has endless temptation.
Especially for tribes like the Creek tribe who already know the wonderful taste of salt and feel that they can't do without it, salt is really extremely important, and it also has a fascinating charm.
All, after this person pointed to the mountain that was torn apart by something, and shouted the word 'salt', these people in the Xi tribe couldn't help but get excited, feeling that their hearts were pounding, and some of them even lifted their overdeveloped chest muscles, which were driven by this violent beating heart.
Even the older primitive woman who wanted to go back the most didn't say anything about going back at this time, and looked at the large white that was exposed, and her eyes almost revealed a light.
Salt is a good medicine, and it has a blatant effect, and at this time, the courage of these people in the Xi tribe has increased by more than one percent.
"#¥WEe salt!"
No, the older female primitive, who just wanted to take the lead in escaping, was the first to shout at this time, pointing to the exposed white, and her expression was so excited that she couldn't do it, and she didn't talk about the tribe anymore.
After saying a few words to the crowd, she took the lead and walked towards the exposed white.
The rest of the people followed her there.
Of course, there will be some fear, otherwise, this older female primitive, she would not have held the weapon in her hand so tightly, and lifted half of the bronze tiger talisman so high.
Especially when climbing the mountain that had slipped down and moving forward, the older primitive women felt that their legs were weak, and they had almost no strength in their bodies.
But looking up at the half of the tiger talisman held in his hand, and then looking at the patches of white salt, this older female primitive person couldn't help but continue to go up.
The people who followed her were in a similar state to her.
The mountain that had just slipped down was extremely steep, and it was difficult to climb up because the soil was wet.
The people of the Creek tribe climbed up with great difficulty, and even two people accidentally rolled down from it, leaving them covered in muddy water.
But the men didn't go back, and they got up and continued to climb up.
After some difficulty, the older primitive women who climbed at the front were the first to come to the lowest place where the large white thing they thought was salt was located.
She stuck the stick-like weapon in her hand into the ground, then trembled slightly and grabbed a little white salt from it, and couldn't wait to put it in her mouth.
However, many times, the more hope, the greater the disappointment, as in the present.
The older female primitives of the Creek tribe, who were full of joy and excitement, froze on her face after she put some white things in her mouth.
The joy and excitement of my heart vanished, and was replaced by a deep sense of disappointment.
The people who climbed up later, after seeing her reaction, probably understood something, and disappointment came to them.
But there were still many people who were unwilling to believe that these were true, so they reached out and grabbed some white things that looked very similar in color to the salt they had exchanged from the Qingque tribe and put them into the empty mouth.
The taste of salt did not come as expected, and those who did not give up could only become dead.
The crowd, who had been elated and happy just now, was now like an eggplant beaten by frost, wilting and drooping, and the atmosphere looked sad.
The raindrops falling from the sky added to the sad atmosphere.
In such a mood, a person who tasted this kind of thing that they thought was salt not long ago couldn't help but move his mouth, just like after eating, he couldn't help but smack his mouth and taste it carefully.
After a while, the man reached out and took some of this white thing from the ground, which they thought was salt, into his mouth, and tasted it carefully.
This white, somewhat earth-like thing has a slippery and soft mouth.
Chewing with your teeth, it still feels like this, and you won't get your teeth sharp.
There is no sweet, salty, bitter and other tastes, and it is not unpleasant, but at the same time, it is not delicious, and it is a very common thing.
The man squirmed his mouth for a moment, swallowing what looked like white dirt, and then his eyes lit up.
“W%^@3!”
She couldn't help but shout to everyone, her voice filled with joy and excitement.
The crowd, who understood what she meant, also turned their attention away from the disappointment that this thing was not salt, and put some in their hands and put some in their mouths.
With this man's reminder, they no longer just pay attention to these things whether they are salty or not, but start to pay attention to other aspects.
After a while, the eyes of these people began to brighten.
Because they found out that it was really edible as the man said!
It's not bitter, it doesn't smell bad, and it's not toothy, which is good news for them.
It doesn't matter if the taste is poor, as long as it can be used to satisfy hunger and fill your stomach.
Moreover, they also have salt from the kind and powerful Qingque tribe, which is something that can make food extremely delicious.
Wait for someone to sprinkle some salt on it before eating, won't this thing become delicious?
As a result, the crowd, which had been full of disappointment just a moment ago, was now suddenly filled with a deep sense of joy.
It's a new food!
And there are so many more!
With this food, the life of your own tribe can become very good all of a sudden.
Even if you can't hunt or gather any food, with this new food that emerges from the soil, you and others will not starve again!
Even, some people thought of using this new food to exchange things for the Qingque tribe.
In the past, because the amount of food obtained by his tribe was limited, it was already a bit difficult to exchange it for table salt.
And the Qingque tribe, in addition to salt, has a lot of good things.
For example, the kind that is different from animal skin, and looks beautiful when tied to the hair, and is called a red head rope by the people of the Blue Sparrow tribe.
For example, something that makes hair smooth, clean, and fragrant, and is called soap.
and the kind of comb that is used to care for the hair, and the kind of clothes that are very airy and breathable to wear on the body at this time of year, and which are different from animal skins......
They have been looking forward to these things for a long time, but because there are too few things in the tribe, there are not too many things to obtain these things other than salt, so they can only bury these expectations deep in their hearts.
But now, it seems that everything is different all at once.
With this large amount of food that could be mined from the earth, they could afford to exchange it for what they had been longing for!
It is a woman's nature to like beauty, and dressing herself up beautifully is something that every woman wants to do.
Whether it is ancient or hereafter, it is the same.
In the past, when the Xi tribe was incapable, these people buried these wishes of their own deep in their hearts.
Now, with the ability, these people immediately want to start the buy-buy-buy mode.
“#%5@3……”
The older primitive woman said to everyone with great excitement.
What she meant was to dig up some of this new food and bring it back to the tribe, and wait until the chiefs came back to eat it today.
So they dug with their sticks, and carefully placed the white, earthy food they had dug up on the leaves they had picked to keep out the rain.
After each of them had dug up a lot to make sure that it was enough for everyone in the tribe, the men tucked their weapons made of sticks under their arms, and in both hands held the white earthy food placed on top of the large leaves, and walked down with a look of caution.
In fact, these people of the Creek tribe were reluctant to leave here like this, but it was still raining, and the fur wrapped around many of them had been soaked by the rain, and the cool rain looked very cold on their bodies.
They need to return to the cave as soon as possible, drink some hot water from the precious pottery they have exchanged from the Qingque tribe, and then use the fire to dry the water on their bodies to warm their bodies.
Otherwise, some people may die because of it.
It's an experience they've learned after a long period of life.
Of course, in the past, there were only such things as getting less rain, drying the fur and body with fire, and drinking hot water, but in recent years, they got pottery from the Qingque tribe, and learned how to use pottery, and found that drinking hot water can make people warm up quickly.
Fortunately, they are the only tribe in the vicinity, so they don't have to worry too much about the food coming out of the dirt being taken away by the rest of the people.
The men returned to the cave with the white food in their hands, and the minors who seemed a little nervous waiting in the cave, and the adults who had not gone and who were not strong enough, were all very happy at once when they saw so much white food, and heard that it was edible food, and that there was so much more.
There is no better news for these people.
The place where the terrifying noise was made was not only that there was nothing terrible, but there was also so much food that could be eaten, and such a transformation was really extremely joyful.
Many people swallowed their saliva and tried to eat this new thing, but they didn't eat too much.
This is because the chiefs have not yet returned, and it is not yet time for them to eat food on a large scale.
They had to drink more hot water boiled in pottery to satisfy their hunger.
Although the more hot water you drink, the hungrier you get when you don't have much food in your stomach, it's better to have something in your stomach than nothing at all.
In this wait, the rain was still pouring outside, wetting the earth and making the air much colder.
Time passed little by little, but because there was no sun outside, it was cloudy, and the light did not change significantly, so it was difficult for people to judge how long the time had passed and how long it would be dark.
In the midst of everyone's waiting, I don't know how long it took, the leaders of the Creek tribe finally came back from outside with the dripping hides on their heads.
Their luck on this trip was not bad, and they caught some prey.
It's impossible to keep everyone fed, but it's still enough to eat by putting it in a clay pot and boiling it with more water.
The leader of the Creek tribe carried a prey and hurried to the cave.
On the one hand, they were very happy to catch their prey, and on the other hand, many of them were already half-wet from the rain and needed to hurry back to the cave to roast the fire.
The people of the Xi tribe who had been looking forward to the return of the leader of the Xi tribe, after seeing the leader of the Xi tribe, they couldn't help cheering.
They couldn't wait for the leader to return and tell them the good news.
The leaders of the Creek tribe only thought that these people in the tribe were so happy when they saw the prey in the hands of themselves and others, so those who held the prey in their hands lifted the prey in their hands high, and those who did not hold the prey puffed up their chests, and looked proudly like big roosters who had just come off the back of a little hen.
Seeing the leader like this, the people who stayed in the cave cheered even more.
The leaders of the Creek tribe couldn't help but hold their chests higher, not to mention the pride and satisfaction in their hearts.
However, when they returned to the cave, saw the white food, heard about these people in the tribe, and discovered their experiences and discoveries after leaving, the leaders of the Creek tribe couldn't help but blush.
I feel sorry for the proud and complacent look of myself and the others just now.
But this discomfort was soon replaced by intense euphoria.
Compared to the abundance of food that can be easily obtained, what I and others have just experienced is nothing at all.
So, the leader of the Creek tribe hastened to ask these people in the tribe where they found these new foods to eat.
A moment later, the leader of the Creek tribe, who had just drunk two sips of hot tea, came out of the cave with his people, and walked towards it under the guidance of the older female primitives.
Because the leaders had returned, and the rain was not as heavy as before, the older minors also came out with them.
They also wanted to see that magical place.
“#¥5WE……”
Looking at the peeling mountain, and the large patches of white new food exposed from the mountain, people, including the leader of the Creek tribe, couldn't help but cheer.
This is really very good, very good news for them.
After all, most of them had eaten some of this new white food not long ago.
After a moment of cheering, the crowd dug up some of the white earthy food again and took it back to the cave.
“#¥5YU……”
After returning to the cave, under the assignment of the leader of the Creek tribe, the group began to process the prey they had hunted today and prepare for cooking.
The older primitive woman pointed to the newly obtained white food and recommended it to the leader of the Creek tribe.
What she meant was that the tribe could eat some of the new food, and some of the prey, so that the people would be able to drink a delicious broth tomorrow morning.
Those who discovered this new food with the older primitive women also looked eagerly at their leader.
This is a kind of psychology that many people have, hoping that what they find can be recognized by others as soon as possible.
And for them, the greatest recognition is to let the people of the tribe eat this new white food.
The leader of the Creek tribe was said to be very moved, but after thinking about it, he still didn't do it.
“#¥@#……”
He shook his head at the older female primitives, meaning that they needed to wait and let people try it, and confirm that the new food was indeed edible before eating it on a large scale.
“#5WE……”
After understanding the meaning of the leader, the older female primitive said, meaning that she and these people, when they first found out, tried these new foods, and nothing happened, and they are still alive and kicking up and down.
In order to increase the credibility and convince the leader earlier, she really jumped up on the spot while saying this.
Of course, if you don't jump off the hide, everything will be even more perfect.
The rest of the female primitives also nodded their heads and pounded their chests vigorously to prove to the leader that there was really nothing wrong with eating this new food.
In fact, this new white food, the leader of the Xi tribe brought people back, and after hearing about this matter, he also tasted it, and at this time, he also did not feel any discomfort in his body, but he was still a little uneasy.
“#¥%6……”
After thinking like this for a while, the leader of the Creek tribe shook his head vigorously, and at the same time opened his mouth to tell everyone what he thought.
His idea was that everyone would drink the broth tonight, and at the same time choose one person to let her eat more of this new white food.
After eating it for two days in a row, it was confirmed that there was nothing to do, and then it was eaten on a large scale in the tribe.
Although the older female primitives felt that the leader was too careful, the leader said so, and they had to follow the leader's wishes.
The older primitive woman was the first to pat her chest and tell the leader of the Creek tribe that she would like to try this new food.
The rest, especially those who discovered the new food, followed suit and said they were willing to try it.
They had tried this new food before, and they didn't think it was poisonous.
Moreover, once the thing of trying new food in this way is successful, the status of the tribe can be greatly improved.
Naturally, they don't want to miss such a good thing.
Of course, it is up to the leaders to determine who will try this new food.
“#¥5@!”
The leader of the Creek tribe glanced over the crowd, then pointed to one person and said, let her try this new white food.
The person he pointed out looked older than the older female primitives, and the whole person looked weak.
The cheeks are deep, the cheekbones are high and raised, and there is not much flesh.
Such people are of little use in the tribe.
So the leader of the Creek tribe gave her this task.
After receiving this task, this person not only did not feel any fear, on the contrary, she was very happy.
After all, everyone rushed to try this new food just now, but she saw it in her eyes and knew that this new food was not a big problem.
Moreover, as she grew older, her status in the tribe had become less and less, and she had become a cumbersome existence, and the food she portrayed was the least and worst.
After tasting this new food and making sure that it is an edible food, her status in the tribe will be high, and her life will be improved a lot, so she is so happy.
Primitive people will also weigh the pros and cons.
Under the envious gaze of the older female primitives and others, the old primitives grabbed the new food with his hands and sent it to his mouth.
This new food tastes soft, smooth, and does not have a tooth stick, which is very suitable for people like old primitive people.
The old primitive man hadn't eaten enough for a long time, and she naturally wouldn't let go of the opportunity to eat more at this time, so she grabbed this new white food with her hand and kept sending it to her mouth, until she ate a little bit, and then stopped moving.
It felt really good to be full, and after the old primitive man drank some hot water, he burped and smiled with satisfaction and happiness.
Such a scene, everyone in the Creek tribe who watched it was overjoyed.
I'm glad they got such a great new food......
“#¥5E……”
As night fell, the cave of the Creek tribe, where the broth had been drunk, did not seem as quiet as usual, and everyone involuntarily looked at the primitive woman lying on the hay, expecting and excited.
The leader of the Creek tribe asked the old primitive man how he felt after a while.
Every time, in the face of the leader's inquiry, the old primitive man would smile and nod.
Everyone who watched such a scene was even more happy, and even the leader of the Xi tribe was full of smiles.
This greeting lasted for a while before it finally ended.
The people began to rest with hope and joy.
The well-fed old primitives also began to rest, and soon fell asleep.
I don't know how long it took, the strong abdominal pain caused the old primitive to wake up from her deep sleep, and the pain was so intense that she couldn't help but bow down.
After enduring it here for a while, she finally couldn't bear it anymore, and got up from the ground with some difficulty, clutched her stomach and walked towards the mouth of the cave, and came outside for a great relief.
However, my legs were numb, my stomach hurt and I was sweating, and I didn't get anything out.
So she got up and trembled towards the cave, and couldn't help but cry.
This movement soon woke up the rest of the people in the cave, and after seeing the appearance of the old primitive, the people who were still dreaming just now were all surprised.
After a while, accompanied by the leader of the Creek tribe and others, the old primitive man came out of the cave again and carried out a great liberation......
