Chapter 5 Fish by the Pot
"Xiaoyu, I'm hungry, it's okay to grill two fish and eat them!"
In the primitive society with scarce resources, there was only the habit of two meals a day, and the food was not enough to support the consumption of three meals a day, and even the ordinary people of the Qing Dynasty before the crossing could only reach the standard of two meals a day.

"Hmm" Xiaoyu snorted, ran to the fish tank and picked up two fish and began to clean up, while Yao Ran did another morning of physical work because he had not slept all night, and gradually snored through.
Xiaoyu listened to the cry. A woman needs to be relied on at all times. This is especially different from others. Children who are not recognized by everyone and abandoned by their parents. It is more necessary to have a partner. Yao Ran's appearance has improved Xiaoyu's life in all aspects. Two days of getting along made Xiaoyu recognize her strange man more and more.
The posture is different from others, and he always says something that people don't understand,
Ask yourself where the water is salty? What does salty mean?
Let yourself follow him to rub the "rope". He wrapped the rope around again.
When Xiaoyu falls asleep, he will cover Xiaoyu with his animal skin to warm him.
Having a baby..... Having a baby still has to ..... Change the motion.
When I woke up in the morning, I brought back fish that four or five people had been busy with all afternoon.
This led to a pit of earth raised above the ground and a fire was built in it.
The big fish gradually changed color, and seeing Yao Ran sleeping fragrantly, Xiaoyu couldn't bear to wake him up. Place the grilled fish a little further away from the fire. Start rubbing the rope.
As the day became more and more westward, Yao Ran turned over and found that he was asleep. It's very uncomfortable to sleep on this land. Find time to improve your sleeping environment.
When I woke up, I smelled the smell of barbecue food, and everything smelled delicious when I was hungry.
Xiaoyu saw Yao Ran get up and handed over the meat skewers and grilled fish, "Eat, husband." This is Yao Ran asked Xiaoyu to call herself that, and explained that her husband is her own man in their place.
Yao Ran was stunned for a moment, and then a knowing smile flowed out of his face. Eating the barbecue in your hand is not so tasteless. And when I saw more than 30 ropes on the ground, I realized that my long-legged wife was not idle all afternoon. I'll have to work harder.
After eating, Yao Ran began to make mud, yes, and mud, when digging the second pit in the afternoon. Yao Ran had already begun to sift out the clayey parts of the soil, and remove the small rocks and large grains of sand inside. Now that pile of clay has lost a lot of water, just right for styling.
On a bluestone slab at the entrance of the cave, Yao Ran began to knead vigorously. Half an hour later, I finally figured out the shape of a large basin. Holding the clay pot in both hands, I tried to put it in the stove pit, and after trying it, the size was just right. So he took out the mud basin and put it next to the campfire to warm the skin, and then made a basin of the same size, because he was familiar with the nature of the clay, it took only 10 minutes to make it faster. When it was done, it was placed by the campfire in the same way, and it was time to make the next one.
Kawaki walked up with something in his arms. Yao Ran patted the dirt on his hands and greeted him with a smile.
"How many are there?"
"Three males and two females."
"Hahahaha, great, I'll go get you fish."
"Three will do, and one for one will do!"
Listening to the conversation between the two, Xiaoyu walked up, and the woman had a natural sense of closeness when she saw the fluffy little thing.
Yao Ran walked over and carried six big white fish in his hands, all of which were moving their mouths and closing them one by one.
"How can you change it if you say one for two," Yao Ran handed over the fish in his hand.
Let Xiaoyu hold the three little gray rabbits again.
"I still have work to do, so I won't entertain the village chief." Yao Ran said aloud with a smile.
Kawaki looked at the strange things around the campfire, and the straw rope he used to thread the fish's mouth in his hand, and pouted. I muttered in my heart that this is no kind of work, and I can't eat it. Turn around and walk down the dirt slope in the direction of the mountain house.
Yao Ran padded two large bluestones in the pit next to the fish tank, and put some of the original ones in the pit to fill the gap. There was some hay and grass on the mat. Only then did he put the little rabbit in the pit. Taking advantage of the fact that it was not dark, I asked Xiaoyu to find some sticks and come back. The light rain went and returned, and he tied a bundle of dry branches with a rope. Yao Ran took the branches and ropes and braided them together one by one. Like a small bamboo row, it was immediately presented, and I tested the size of the pit by hand, and then knitted more than a dozen. After weaving it, he inserted it into the edge of the pit and threw a stone into it several times. Such a rabbit cage embedded in the ground is ready. Yao Ran's hand was not idle, and he wrapped up the remaining branches again, and asked Xiaoyu to find some firewood and come back. Yao Ran selected long branches and made a small wooden row that was better and tighter. Just when it was almost dark, Xiaoyu walked back with a bundle of firewood on his back. Putting down the firewood and sitting beside Yao Ran, a pair of big watery eyes looked at the things in Yao Ran's hand. He asked in a low voice, "What is this for?" ”
This is the first time Xiaoyu has asked herself in the past two days. She will do whatever she asks her to do. Since the last time she told her secret, Xiaoyu hadn't said so many words at once.
Yao Ran finally tied it hard, and the small wooden stick in the middle of the wooden row tried to see if the protrusion was very suitable.
began to introduce Xiaoyu to "These little gray rabbits are born to make holes, and they are grass-eating animals. It will not have a strong offensive ability and is suitable for captivity at home. And it is also very reproductive. As long as we feed them grass, they will provide us with a steady stream of rabbit meat that we can eat. And these wooden rafts are a way to prevent them from making holes and escaping, and they can also play a role in protecting them. For example, snakes and rats may burrow here and eat them. Yao Ran pointed to the edge of the pit to get soil.
Xiaoyu listened carefully, and she didn't know how much she understood. Anyway, you should understand that this rabbit is kept for meat. Looking at it this way, maybe his man's "husband" has also been hungry. I remember that Kawaki was reluctant to eat the piece of meat he had given him, so he roasted it and put it in the corner of the cave, and later it was eaten by flies and insects. Or the male "husband" is smart enough to store the meat alive so that it will not be eaten by insects.
Xiaoyu's eyes full of admiration made Yao Ran enjoy it very much, and she had the feeling of training a newly graduated intern girl in the company. Closed the lid of the rabbit cage. Yao Ran looked at the rope that Xiaoyu had braided today, as well as the bark piled up behind him. I took out my own fishing net and looked at the size, and the existing finished rope can extend the net by about two meters. He put down his nets, walked over to the campfire, and tapped the clay pot gently. The echo and the muffled sound knocked on another, and in the light of the fire, it shone on both sides of the clay pot, and there were no cracks. Yao Ran excitedly took the two clay pots to the edge of the stove one by one, and put the clay pots on the diagonal inside the stove. Tian Chai also put four clay bowls that were not square or round. Add a little firewood on each side and stir the burning firewood to make it fully contact with the newly put firewood. After doing this, Yao Ran turned around and shouted to Xiaoyu, "Let's sleep!" I'll take you fishing tomorrow. ”
It is not easy to express the clouds and rain overnight~
got up early, Yao Ran was anxious about the two pots, and used a rope to pass through the two holes left in the edge of the pot in advance, and both lifted the pots out. The legendary pottery was successfully produced, but the clay bowl was not dried and only one was fired. The edge of the clay pot corresponds to the middle position of the rope holes on both sides, and Yao Ran has also left the words "First Pottery - Yao Ran". The rope holes on both sides are put on the rope, and after picking up the pot, you are not afraid of hot hands. This way you can drink boiling water and broth.
Just do it, put the pot on the stove, and added two sticks of firewood to the firewood mouth, and the water in the hot pot gradually became hot. The fishing net gradually grew longer in Yao Ran's hands. This time, two ropes were tied to the side of the wooden spear that could be dragged and more than three meters long. He tied a wooden stick that had been prepared long ago to one of the extensions of the clay bowl. I put the boiling water on the ground, put another pot on the shelf, and prepared to clean up the fish and make soup. I thought it was dead when I took out the fish, but as soon as I blasted the stone chips into the chrysanthemum of the white fish, I was slapped hard by the fishtail. Don't hit people in the face, don't scold people, don't expose shortcomings. I won't fight with you, I'll let you eat me. (Reader, don't think about it, I didn't think about it anyway) after giving the white fish a few sticks
As a result, Xiaoyu woke up and walked to Yao Ran's side. Seeing the steaming water on the ground and Yao Ran, who was disemboweling the fish, he was a little at a loss. "Good morning, light rain! Take that spoon from the pot on the ground and drink some hot water, which is good for the body. "Water gets hot in the sun, how can there be sun in the early morning. But Xiaoyu still walked over and took the wooden handle, and at the other end was a strange little mud puddle that was not afraid of water. I took a bowl of water and put it closer to find that it was really hot water, and it was hotter than the sun. Take a sip slowly. Although Xiaoyu didn't know what Nuan Man meant. But when I think of my man, my husband is warm. The fish's internal organs and scales had been separated by Yao Ran's revenge. I ran to the stream, washed and rinsed, and then returned to the slate and cut it carefully. The water on the stove was already boiling, and Yao Ran held the fish runway pot that had been cut and broken and finally turned into three sections and put it along the edge of the pot, and the boiling water scalded the crystal fish in an instant. The fishy smell of fish does not become so obvious under the action of high temperature. One person with a mud bowl in hand, Xiaoyu and Yao Ran sucked the fish soup in the pot, quite like the fish stove cake next to the pot. took out a pair of peeled branches and broke off two pieces of fish belly meat in the pot, which made Xiaoyu, who had never eaten stew, cry out deliciously. Yao Ran, who has been eating barbecue in the past few days, has no taste in his mouth, and this pot of delicious fish soup can be regarded as satisfying his taste buds a little. But there is still something important missing, "how to hook fresh without salt!" ”
A few pieces of wood from the fire were removed and a makeshift woven lid was put on. After packing up, the two set off to fish.
Before the figures of the two were far away, the people of the hunting team had already gathered at the entrance of the village. Hemu saw Yao Ran and the two leaving. I didn't say much, but the confusion on my face didn't decrease.
