Shui Yuan, who was sitting on the side, sighed in his heart, this has not seen all the Ding tribe, just salt and incense powder have already hung the taste of himself and Yan, if he can know more useful information about the Ding tribe, wouldn't it be that his tribe will develop better? Life will also be more flavorful, and happiness will fly?

But Shui Yuan didn't think about it, what is the basis for the development of the tribe? The foundation is people, but whether the tribe can afford to raise so many people is a key, and raising people needs food, meat and gathering can only last for a certain period of time, and it cannot be supported for a long time, which is why the tribe in the primitive period needs to be separated after the scale is large, to ensure that the tribe inherits at the same time, branches and leaves, and ensures that more people survive.

Eventually, it was necessary to develop into an agrarian society in order to reach the period he desired.

According to orthodox theory, the development stage of human society is divided into five stages, the first three of which are primitive society, slave society and feudal society, in which slave society and feudal society run through a common feature, that is, the development of agriculture.

Humanity cannot move towards civilization without going to the step of agriculture (planting and breeding), which is an inevitable stage of social development. Without the support of agriculture, it is impossible to produce a large surplus and population development, and there can be no rapid economic development.

The other is the generation of demand, without which it would not be possible to produce the most basic economic activity of exchange.

Tinch's food-led role was to raise the needs of the tribes, to promote the development of inter-tribal exchange or the economy, and to lay the foundation for the spread of the medium of exchange (copper coins), but all of this was premised on increasing productivity and increasing the popularity of agriculture.

Mizubuchi and Yan are still in the middle of the delicious fish soup, and the buck has already begun to introduce the third food, the pheasant.

"Come, two leaders, we tasted the horned deer and the fish, and now let's try this pheasant: the pepper chicken."

The pheasant in front of me is relatively small, and the firewood chicken is in general, and the appearance is similar to that of the flower chicken, the surface is the same, but in fact, there is something inside.

Ding Qi spent some time in the Central Plains, where pepper sesame chicken was popular for a while. This pepper sesame chicken is not a Sichuan pepper sesame chicken, and the method is different, similar to the practice of roast chicken in the north of the Central Plains.

With fewer raw materials and fewer spices, Ding Qi used a simple and crude method to make the peppered chicken he had eaten before.

How simple is it? It is to stuff the belly of a peeled pheasant with peppercorns, sprinkle some salt, and then sew the chicken belly and throw it into a clay pot to cook, and the clay pot is also sprinkled with salt for flavor. Cook for two or three hours until cooked and out of the pan.

When eating, tear the chicken into small pieces and stir it with the peppercorns in the chicken's belly, and the flavor of the peppercorns will be evenly spread on the surface of the meat, and it will taste numb and fragrant, with a little spicy taste. If you wait for the peppers to grow and then put some dried peppers in, the taste will be spicy and fragrant, and the aftertaste will be endless.

This is Ding Qi in the seller to make the finished product, and the seller in the communication to figure out the method, after the discovery of pepper here, the pheasant eating method to expand, did not expect to eat the people full of praise.

As he spoke, the stag tore the pheasant into small pieces, then mixed the peppercorns inside the meat, and picked up a small piece with chopsticks and put it in his mouth.

"Shhh Ha! It's so cool! It's so delicious! ”

After eating a piece, the buck feels so good, every time he eats this pepper chicken, he is a little unstoppable, he just wants to eat more, but he is rejected by Ding Qi, why not make more? Because there are too few peppercorns, when the harvest is in autumn, Ding Qi will organize the people of the Yuanqiu tribe to go back to collect more peppercorns. Now these peppercorns at hand are still brought over when the Qiu tribe joined, so eat a little less!

Looking at the performance of the buck, Shui Yuan and Yan were a little puzzled, what is the situation, again

A delicious taste? Otherwise, he didn't see him behave like this in the first two kinds of meat?

Whether Yan had ever eaten boiled pheasant, Shui Yuan didn't know, but he had eaten it. The clay pot was obtained early, and as the upper echelon of the tribe, he could enjoy it first in addition to the witch. The most eaten is the white boiled fish plus the stone, the white boiled meat including the boiled pheasant has also been eaten, except that there is no salt, it is the same thing, is there something great added to it?

Today's meal is worth eating, first I found salt, then I found incense powder, and now what will I find? The answer should lie in the small particles on top of the pheasant!

Shui Yuan had already guessed that it must have something to do with that kind of small round particles.

Picking up the chopsticks, Shui Yuan gently picked up a piece of pheasant breast meat. On the pheasant, this piece of meat is big, but this piece of meat is the most unpalatable, it is full of muscle and no fat, and it tastes dry and tasteless when chewed. Every time I eat pheasant, it is directly two chicken thighs and chicken wings, and the rest will be eaten by others.

Therefore, he went down with chopsticks from the most unpalatable.

As soon as I put it in my mouth, before I could chew it, there was a numb feeling on the tip of my tongue, and it was a little spicy. The sensation lingers for a moment, that is, it quickly travels from the tip of the tongue to the entire mouth, through the nerves to his brain. The brain responded, and the smell instinctively made him want to say no, ready to spit out the chicken in his mouth. But soon the brain became excited, and the excited brain fed back a message to Shui Yuan's mouth:

"Bite down! Eat it! ”

The mouth chews quickly, and the dry and chewy chicken breast meat rolls back and forth in the mouth, giving the tongue and mouth sufficient stimulation, and constantly sending a signal to the brain: it is delicious!

The more you chew, the more you chew, the more you chew, the more you want to eat. The numb and slightly spicy sensation stimulates the taste buds and the mouth constantly secretes a lot of saliva, making the chicken breast, which used to be a little dry, delicious.

"Goo-toot!"

The piece of chicken that he had chewed countless times and was reluctant to swallow was finally swallowed by him, slowly from his throat to his stomach, all the way to the fullest, and the aftertaste was endless, but De Shui Yuan was always immersed in the shock brought by the numbness fragrance.

"Ahh It's delicious! ”

Shui Yuan and the two of them experienced delicious food here, and on the periphery of the Black Water and Yanhuo Rest Ground, two girls who were about to become adults appeared, and they were Xue and Dan from the Snow Mountain Tribe.

Now the two have become the chief instructors of the Ding tribe, in charge of the cultural teaching of the tribe, they are the people who have the highest mastery of Chinese characters except for the deer, and have learned all the Chinese characters that Ding Qi can teach. According to the requirements of language teaching, they have reached the standard of excellent junior high school graduates. Most of the people in the tribe were two-person students, so wherever they went, they would be greeted by a salute.

The ice that followed the abyss had already circled around the courtyard a few times. Along the way, she was observing the place where the Ding tribe lived, and she wanted to keep everything here in her mind, because this was where her two good sisters lived.

Since she has been following Shui Yuan for a long time, she still knows some things in the tribe. For example, her two sisters were sent to the Ding tribe by Shui Yuan to inquire about the Ding tribe and pass the information back to the tribe if possible. But she knew that the Blackwater tribe was an abyss of eating people, and if she became their slave, she would not end well. The three sisters did not engage in too much tiring gathering and hunting activities like other tribesmen because they were beautiful, but they were not free.

They have always longed for freedom, so they tried their best to escape from this abyss, but unfortunately they never had a chance until the Ding tribe and Aragami appeared.

This time he came to the Ding tribe, and Shui Yuan also arranged a task for himself, which was to find an opportunity to contact his two sisters and learn everything about the Ding tribe. Before she came, she begged Shui Yuan to bring her over, and she knew that there was such an arrangement, and she wanted to meet her good sister

to confirm that they are doing well.

I've been turning around early in the morning, and since I arrived here yesterday, I haven't been calm, and I've been looking forward to seeing my two younger sisters, but I haven't been able to do so.

There, two girls dressed in animal skins and with long black eyebrows were looking inside from the periphery of the resting area. Unfamiliar costumes, fair faces, expectant eyes, and familiar smiles appeared in Bing's sight.

She knew that her good sisters had come looking for her.

In the cafeteria, Shui Yuan and Yan touched their round stomachs and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hiccup! It was so delicious when I was full. What I used to eat was eaten for nothing, but I didn't know that the meat I made was so delicious. Elder Stag, you can get cheaper, let's exchange some spices and salt and go back! ”

Yan ate and drank enough, burped, and did not forget to bargain with the bucks, hoping to exchange more salt and spices. When he saw Shui Yuan Kejin eating pheasants there before, he also quickly took a bite, but he didn't expect that he couldn't stop, and finally the two of them separated half of them into their own bowls. In the end, it was not enough to eat, so the buck had to bring two more bowls of horned venison to the two of them, so as to fill their stomachs.

During the meal, the three of them negotiated the rules of exchange, fifteen slaves for a bowl of salt, and the same for the incense powder, as for the peppercorns, they were not used as the exchange object, the reason was that there were no raw materials, and they had to wait. The skins they brought with them were converted into salt and incense powder, and they were exchanged for some pottery.

During the conversation, Mizubuchi admitted that sixty of the slaves he had brought with him had lost a bet, and the other forty had wanted to exchange two or three fishing nets. The bucks didn't immediately agree to him, saying only that they needed to be discussed by the elders before replying.

As soon as Shui Yuan heard that there were still fishing nets, he immediately decided to exchange them, and the bucks replied in the same way.

Soon, someone brought over three bowls of dandelion tea, and in the steaming heat, the two of them drank the light brown tea soup in the bowl into their mouths like a stag. The two of them suddenly became excited again, and hurriedly asked what it was and how to make it.

The buck says it's a tea made with dandelions, which can be brewed with boiling water.

Shui Yuan covered his face:

"I'm a younger brother!"

This reminded him of the first time his brother took back dandelion tea to soak in water, cold water soaking!

I really want to pump him!

After drinking this tea, the buck gave each of them a small bag of tea as a gift.

The bucks sent the two back to their resting place, and before parting, they told them:

"Leader of the Water Abyss, Leader of the Flame, we have been cultivating for the past two days, which is used to grow edible plant seeds. It's really busy, so I hope to finish the deal this afternoon, and I'll send someone to arrange for this, and I'll have a banquet here in the evening, and I'll reply to you after consulting with the elders about the fishing nets, you see, it's feasible? ”

Shui Yuan and Yan glanced at each other, and immediately nodded in agreement, and the two of them quickly arranged for the handover with the Ding tribe.

On the other side, Xue and Dan sat in the school classroom built by the tribe, looking at Ding Qi on the podium.

After the two met with their sister Bing just now, Bing told the two of them all about the situation of the Blackwater Tribe.

This time he came to exchange, Shui Yuan only brought five or six people from the Snow Mountain Tribe, and there were still thirty or forty clansmen in the headquarters of the Black Water Tribe, and they did not become the main object of this exchange. The five tribes discussed to jointly explore the details of the Ding tribe, and weakened the strike tribe, and prepared to invite the Ding tribe to participate in the autumn hunting day event, so that the Ding tribe was careful.

At the same time, he also talked about some of the surrounding tribes, such as the conflict with the Baishui tribe and the killing of many people on the other side.

Bing didn't ask to rescue himself, but just hoped that Xue and Dan could help the leader to rescue more Snow Mountain tribesmen from the Blackwater Tribe.

The two watched anxiously as the leader walked around.
