Chapter 98: Saber-toothed Tiger Meat
The captives, each with a bowl of soup and a small piece of steamed stem, were driven out of the canteen and into the wooden house where they were held.
There is not much food, but with some bark and grass roots, it is the amount of their usual cat winter. Now that they have become captives, they dare not complain about anything. And the broth and steamed stems are delicious.
Outside the cafeteria, the night is dark, and the ice lights shine on the red brick pavement, showing a different scenery. The two little wolf dogs and the little black dogs were already full and walked past them happily. A one-legged man slowly moved down the watchtower, holding two crutches and a kettle hanging from his arm.
These are landscapes that they have never seen before.
But the discipline that had come all the way from the gray wolf made them not dare to stop for a moment, not even to whisper. I could only bow my head and walk quickly to the wooden house where they were being held. They were kept in three wooden houses near the door.
The wooden house was airtight, and people huddled together without lighting a fire and did not feel cold. If you can make a fire for them, they think this is heaven.
What they saw in the Jilin tribe made their captives have mixed thoughts.
If they had known that Ji Lin was in this situation, how could they dare to attack Ji Lin? You must know that the walled wall alone is estimated to be able to stop most of them. Knowing that Ji Lin had so much food that he was still crippled, they might sneak over and defect, so why would they worry that Ji Lin would fight for the territory of the gray wolf?
Now they are willing to become Ji Lin's people. It's just that I heard that now they don't have this qualification. If they are defeated, they will have to undergo labor reform in order to be forgiven, and they don't know what kind of procedure this is, whether it will tire people to death.
Once inside, the door was locked from the outside, and they huddled together to keep warm, ready to survive the more difficult night. At this time, an extremely strong fragrance wafted from outside the house, which made many of them drool.
Lin Ji didn't eat in the cafeteria, but pulled Hu Yi'er out to hot pot by himself.
Last time, I was going to eat saber-toothed tiger meat and was destroyed by the gray wolf's people, and I killed five saber-toothed tigers and carried them back, and I also ate one or two roasted ones on the way, but I was worried about various things on the road, and I didn't pay much attention to it, and I didn't eat anything. Now that he is back, he still feels that he should make another hot pot to fulfill his previous wish.
Seeing Xu Yu and others feasting in the cafeteria, Lin Ji got a hot pot base from the small town, which was still slightly spicy, and after the water boiled, he first put a little vegetarian dishes such as bean skin to give Hu Yi'er a stomach, and finally slowly scalded saber-toothed tiger meat and cabbage.
Habitually blanching a big bowl first and preparing to open a small stove will appear Luo Que, and when the bowl is full, I think that she is afraid that she will not come today. So Lin Ji poured the meat into a small basin, poured a little soup on it, and served it to the watchtower.
After being injured in a hunt, a pheasant was sawed off a leg. The fracture in the other leg is not entirely good. But he stubbornly refused to recuperate, and began to keep vigil for everyone. Everyone knows that this is him showing his value, and it does not stop him.
The watchtower is semi-open, only the lower part is blocked, the upper part is unobstructed on all sides, and there is a roof that can only block the rain and sun, and cannot block the night breeze and snowflakes blown in.
When Lin Ji went up, he saw a basket of charcoal piled up in the corner, and a kettle was placed on a small charcoal stove next to it, which was almost all the equipment for the pheasant to stay overnight.
Lin Ji took down the kettle and put the small basin on it, "Eat this warmly, you eat slowly." ”
The begging pheasant smiled: "I just came up when I was full." ”
"Why don't I take it?"
"Don't. It's already smelling. It's so fragrant. I'll save it for later. The pheasant hurriedly took his hand to protect the small basin.
Ask the pheasant to wear several animal skins, it should be no problem to keep warm, plus a stove, it should not be able to freeze overnight. Lin Ji looked around and said, "This is a good place to eat." ”
There is only two or three square meters of space on the tower, and the line of sight is good, so you really don't have to pick a pot of wine.
The pheasant said: "It's true, you all sleep at night, sometimes I bake something to eat, that feeling...... You don't know yet, do you? Wild cats also like to run to me, they like to bake here, and sometimes they will catch a mouse or something for me, and I will share half with it when it is cooked, and it tastes and smells. ”
Wild cats are mixed with the tribe and are gradually not afraid of people, and sometimes even dare to compete with three puppies for food. The tribe now also knows the usefulness of various domestic animals and will not harm them.
Back in the house, Hu Yi'er had already eaten all the vegetarian dishes in the pot. For her, tofu and bean skin are obviously more expensive than saber-toothed tiger meat. In order to compensate, she scalded a lot of saber-toothed tiger meat for Lin Ji and put it in a bowl.
Lin Ji was somewhat amused. In terms of the taste of the forest traces, the meat of this saber-toothed tiger is coarse, similar to horse meat, and it can only be eaten. Of course, after being scalded by hot pot, there is not much difference in any meat.
The most important thing is to see who you eat with, not what you eat, though.
Hu Yi'er recalled the bean skin and other things in front of her, and asked, "What did I eat just now?" Magic again? ”
Lin Ji thought for a while and said, "If I say it's divine meat, do you believe it?" ”
"Divine meat?" Hu Yi'er held her chopsticks and paused in the air.
Feeling that the joke was too big, Lin Ji hurriedly said, "There is no such thing." It is the deep-processed ...... of ordinary beans The yellow-skinned beans are first ground into a pulp, filtered, cooked, pressed, or fried, and they become like this. Of course, it's not easy to get so many beans from the forest, so the best thing to do is to plant ......"
Later, Lin Ji talked about the concept of planting and domestication. This can be regarded as a habit of talking to Hu Yi'er in the past few days, and Lin Ji is a little unstoppable.
Hu Yi'er listened carefully, and then began to hold her chin to look at the forest tracks.
Lin Ji reacted: "At this time, shouldn't I say this?" "Not surprisingly, Hu Yi'er is leaving tomorrow, and saying this at this time is like dating a girl who has never been exposed to games in the future to talk about the settings of various games.
It's just that Lin Ji is also a little sad or anxious, the two get together less and leave more, plus there are many different concepts, Lin Ji only hopes to tell her everything he knows, and then the next time they meet, let her not have too much strangeness, so that there will be any changes in the future.
But it seems that this is not rushed.
Hu Yi'er looked at Lin Ji, and her eyes were full of admiration from the heart: "You really know more about these than our wise people." ”
Lin Ji shook his head and said, "It's just that I was stuffed with something in my head." Sometimes there are strange ideas. ”
Bowing his head and eating a bite of tiger meat, Lin Ji continued: "At that time, I was still thinking that one day I would go out by myself and hunt some of these tusks." Eat like this and drink some wine...... Happy like this. I didn't expect this tiger meat to come like this in the end, and you were with me. If nothing else, I should start farming later, expand the village, hunt everywhere or something, and probably don't have much chance to be happy with the world. When it starts, it becomes unstoppable. Of course, I'll go for the next hunt. ”
"Have you ever wanted to go to another place or something?" Lin Ji asked. He still wanted to put some ideals and other ideas in Hu Yi'er's mind.
"Another place?" Hu Yi'er seems to have discovered a new problem.
"Well, actually, this world, well, this place, its terrain is probably like this, and it may be very difficult to enter and exit. Let me tell you a little bit...... We have a river in the south, and we can call it the Yangtze River......"
The following are the geography class times.
Lin Ji is interested in cultivating Hu Yi'er's spirit of exploration, so he talks about this geography lesson in detail.
Xu Yu smelled the smell, and even though he had a bulging belly, he still killed a lot of tiger meat. When the two barbarians came, even the soup was drunk.
In front of the food, the three of them didn't notice what Lin Ji was talking about at all, just reminiscing about what they had just eaten, wiping the sweat on their heads: "Refreshing!" ”
