Chapter 34 A piece of equipment that makes international friends look different - chopsticks
Drinking broth is not enough with a bowl and a spoon to hold the soup from a large vat, there is one thing missing, and that is chopsticks!
In the past, there were only two ways to eat food in the tribe, one was that things such as fruit could be eaten raw, and the other was meat, which was roasted over a fire.
These two types of food are solid, or non-wet, and can be eaten directly with your hands, but now that there is boiled food, it is impossible to eat it like this.
If you encounter larger meat or bones, you can't drown them in the hot soup in a bowl, and you can lift them out by hand, but if you encounter a small one, it will be troublesome.
Either drink the soup in the bowl first, or carry forward the spirit of not being afraid of heat or oil, and directly take out the meat at the bottom of the bowl and eat it.
But these two methods are inconvenient, especially the second one, looking at the way they fished the juice dripping Han Chengcheng wanted to lose his temper.
Eating like this, didn't he become Ah San and some other international friends?
Before Han Cheng came, he had watched some videos of black international friends eating hot pot directly, and he really felt awkward from the bottom of his heart.
So after discovering that there was such a phenomenon in the tribe, he immediately stopped it.
In particular, the most enjoyable stone was knocked twice on Han Cheng's hand with a ring ruler specially made for teaching.
There was also a sense of grievance in everyone's hearts, especially the stones.
He was young but he also shared a big bowl, and the soup was not finished yet, so he was a little supportive, if he didn't start fishing, he would be full of soup alone, and he would have no stomach to deal with the rest of the meat.
There is meat in the bowl but only soup can be drunk, which is not a huge torment for primitive people who regard eating as more important than anything else.
Just when everyone was spitting hot air and drinking the soup with bitter faces, hoping to eat the meat at the bottom of the bowl, Miko, who had walked around outside, returned.
He came in with a small bundle of twigs the size of a little finger and a smooth surface in his arms.
In the incomprehensible gaze of everyone, Han Cheng called Senior Brother to come over and help cut these into tree segments of about twenty centimeters.
Then he scooped some water from another vat and washed it clean, and gave two sticks to each person in the eyes of everyone who were becoming more and more puzzled.
Wu, who was the first to get the simple chopsticks, put the pottery bowl in his hand on the ground, looked up and down with one hand in one hand, and gestured from time to time, but still didn't find out how to use this thing.
Wu was very wise, he understood the plight of the people in the tribe at this time, and he could basically guess the intention of the Son of God from the fact that the Son of God did not let everyone use their hands to scoop meat in the bowl to eat, and then began to make these two small sticks.
It's just that how can such a thing get the meat out of the bowl?
Wu was a little dazed with one hand holding a chopstick, pulling in the bowl, a piece of meat was held by him with two chopsticks to expose the water, but before he could lean his head to eat, his hand shook slightly, and the meat had fallen back into the bowl, and the fragrant broth was smashed and splashed out a lot, and Wu was a little distressed to see it.
The rest of the people were not as good as Wu, except for a few who guessed that Shenzi had these two things to solve the current predicament, the rest of them didn't even know Han Cheng's purpose.
They were all curious and puzzled as they fiddled with the sticks that Han Cheng had followed them one after another.
Some of the naughty children have already knocked the stick in their hands on their partner's head, which is a good use.
Except for the small children who are not able to eat independently, the people in the tribe have a pair of simple chopsticks made from local materials.
Han Cheng knew that they didn't understand the purpose of this thing, and he had no intention of explaining.
He went to where he had been, picked up the bowl on the floor, cleared his throat to draw everyone's attention, and then skillfully moved the two chopsticks to his right hand.
The two chopsticks are close together, and the upper end is leaning against the tiger's mouth, revealing a length of four or five centimeters.
About two-thirds of the way from the bottom to the top, you will naturally lean on the first joint of your middle finger, and your index finger and thumb will hold the chopsticks together, and the chopsticks will be separated when you move your fingers together.
Han Cheng stretched his chopsticks into the bowl and quickly retracted them, and he took out a piece of meat under the soup.
Han Cheng put the meat into his mouth and ate it beautifully in everyone's expressions of sudden understanding.
Wu Wu, who witnessed how Han Cheng used chopsticks, showed a sudden expression, it turned out that these two thin sticks were used like this!
He imitated Han Cheng's style, holding two thin sticks together with the hand that often holds the 'stone pen'.
(Before Han Cheng traded the language and writing of the witch god, both hands of the witch could be used to write, but after Han Cheng told the witch god that the language was best written with the 'right hand', when the witch wrote again, he spent more time with his right hand than with his left hand.)
From this alone, Wu has learned a lot of things, before, he only knew that people have two hands, but it is difficult to distinguish which side it is.
Since the Son of God said left and right, this problem has been solved very well.
Moreover, the two concepts of 'left and right' are very widely used, not only the hands can be divided into left and right, but also the feet, ears, eyes, and many more things can be divided into left and right, and the emergence of this concept makes the witch record more detailed and accurate when recording things. )
Wu held the bowl in his left hand and chopsticks in his right hand, following Han Cheng's example, he clumsily and unfamiliarly separated the chopsticks and sent them to the bowl.
It's just that the dexterous thin wooden stick like two fingers in Han Cheng's hand doesn't obey the call at all when it comes to Wu's hands.
He tried hard to control them, trying to pick up the meat from the bowl, but he couldn't hold it, and after several attempts in a row, he finally found a piece crooked and sent it to his mouth.
This made Wu a little happy.
The rest of the people are not much better than Wu, their movements are rusty and clumsy, and there are many people who can't even tell which hand is holding chopsticks.
Among them, there are the most adults in the tribe, and the children in the tribe who learn from Han Cheng are not many mistakes because they have already accepted the concept of left and right when they first learned to write.
It's not that hard for them, just remember which hand holds the pen and that's it.
Looking at the people who couldn't hold the meat in the bowl with chopsticks clumsily and even stabbed the bowl over, the helpless Han Cheng could only hold the bowl and keep demonstrating and teaching one by one......
Many of the people in the cave didn't understand Miko's actions, and it was clear that it was good to eat them with their hands, but they wanted to make these two things called 'chopsticks' to torture people.
It is precisely because of the appearance of chopsticks that the second senior brother who likes to eat the most is a little afraid of the arrival of mealtime, especially the kind of rice with soup.
But Han Cheng took chopsticks very seriously, and after discussing with the senior brother, he deliberately made broth for six or seven days in a row, and then when they ate together, he held the bowl with chopsticks and kept sweeping his eyes on the bodies of everyone in the tribe, specifically to see who did not use chopsticks but grabbed and ate with his hands, once he found out, he would beat his hands with a ring ruler.
Although it doesn't hurt, no one wants to suffer because it's a shameful thing.
Under this kind of pressure, about a week or so, the people in the tribe have become accustomed to eating with chopsticks, and even some skilled ones now use chopsticks to pick up and eat again when eating barbecue.
And the second senior brother, after pinching off five pairs of chopsticks and stabbing the bowl eight times, finally mastered this skill that had made countless foreign friends smell and change.
