Volume 1 Stone Age Chapter 016 Shake it before opening
The pleasant system prompt sound sounded on time.
Chen Li saw that there were already two more things in his invisible warehouse.
[Small Material Chest]: After opening, you will get a random survival item.
The types of items include: grains, meat, fruits, spices, kitchen utensils, clothing.
[Beginner Recipes]: 20 cooking methods of modern cuisine are recorded, and you can learn them immediately after using them and directly reach the level of proficiency.
Seeing these two rewards, Chen Li was bittersweet.
Happily, the content of the reward is very practical and will play a big role in improving his living standard.
The worry is ...... The content of the reward also reminded him that he has no spices and no kitchen utensils, and even if he has a recipe, it is difficult to make delicious food.
"I'll learn the recipe first." Chen Li thought about it and used the recipe in his backpack.
The system prompts: "Ding~ You have learned the beginner recipe."
At the same time, a flurry of information flooded into his mind.
Braised eggplant, spicy enoki mushroom, honey. Abalone in sauce, duck in dry sauce......
There are a total of 20 dishes, and they are directly forcibly skilled.
Next is the part of opening the treasure chest.
"You can't make a recipe without kitchenware and spices."
"So be sure to randomly get kitchen utensils or spices!!"
Chen Li prayed in his heart.
The small treasure chest lay quietly in the package, shaking it gently as the thought of "opening" fell.
"Shake it before opening, it's quite ritualistic." Chen Li couldn't help but complain.
Then he heard the sound of "Duang", and a prop pattern appeared in front of him.
"Ding~ You got [a bag of salt] from the small material treasure chest."
Salt, it's a spice, that's right.
The kind in the supermarket that costs 1.5 yuan a pack.
Sure enough, the system heard his wish.
But......
"it!"
"Pit! Father! Yikes! ”
"Why salt!"
"It's good to give a bag of MSG!"
"It's an island here, the sea is dry and full of salt, you actually give Lao Tzu a random bag of salt!"
"I'm crying~"
Chen Li was extremely aggrieved.
Originally, I thought that if I picked up a bargain, I could make some good things for nothing by sending primitive people and building a small fence.
I didn't expect the reality to be so cruel, and I actually gave him the most worthless reward.
A bag of salt everywhere in the sea, a recipe that doesn't come in handy......
"Well, that's it, it's better than nothing."
Chen Li sighed and reluctantly accepted the reality.
It seems that in a short period of time, the role of the recipe will not be played.
……
After tossing for a long time, the women had already prepared the food for the evening.
A big wild boar was caught today, and the harvest was extremely rich.
So the dinner was extraordinarily rich, with only 16 people roasting two pork hind legs.
Chen Li took out a bag of salt he had just gotten and spread it on the roasted pork, adding some flavor to the game.
Primitive people have only drunk seawater, not salt, and do not know that this kind of good thing is still contained in the unpalatable seawater.
Therefore, when they ate salt for the first time, they all showed great enthusiasm, praised Chen Li vigorously, and raised their reverence for him to a higher level.
Although it is only a little salt, the taste of the barbecue has indeed improved a lot.
Chen Li felt a little comforted.
Items given by the system cannot be put back into the warehouse after they are taken out.
Chen Li handed over this piece of salt to the elderly "old teeth" for safekeeping, and he just ate what he had, and he was too lazy to take care of it.
……
While eating, Chen Li looked at the carcass of the big wild boar, and then at the pigsty where the little wild boar was kept, and his heart was slightly touched.
The mother pigs were slaughtered for food, and the pigs were kept in captivity, enslaving their offspring.
From a human point of view, it is a bit cruel.
However, from the perspective of natural selection, it seems to be an inevitable result.
In the process of civilization development, human beings have domesticated many wild animals.
Livestock, poultry, and pets are all indispensable in modern life.
From a certain point of view, the emergence of intelligent creatures such as human beings is a complete disaster for the natural world.
But nature has nature's ability to regulate.
Although human beings will disrupt the balance between many organisms, they will also unwittingly promote the development of another biological chain.
Today, Chen Li tamed a litter of wild boars, which will lead to a decrease in the number of large beasts in the wild, and the food resources of top predators such as saber-toothed tigers will also be reduced.
But over time, when wild boars in captivity were able to be slaughtered, humans did not need to go out hunting as often.
When humans don't hunt, the prey of saber-toothed tigers increases, and everything is still the same.
The only difference is that the way humans get their food has become safer.
Wild boars, on the other hand, do not need to forage outside, and are fed every day until the day they are slaughtered.
Perhaps this is the point of systematically releasing side quests - to promote the formation of a civilized society.
Thinking about this, Chen Li felt a lot more relaxed.
Originally, he was a little worried that his arrival would accelerate the process of human civilization and then destroy the ecological balance of this world.
But now that I think about it, as long as I don't make destructive products such as gunpowder and nuclear bombs, it seems that it will not cause much impact.
With the assistance of the system, his path will not be crooked.
Cut down the tree and plant it again.
Maybe because of him, some of the disasters that happened in the primeval jungle could be prevented artificially.
"Alas, before I know it, I have to take on the responsibility of protecting the forest again. It's a distressing thing to be handsome. ”
Chen was very shameless and thought to himself.
The fire was jumping, and it was already dark.
Everyone gathered in a circle and munched on meat by the fire, which felt a sense of peace and ease.
"Boss, will you make all that wood into a wooden gun?" Shi Gu asked as he ate.
Dozens of cut logs are piled up next to it, like a small hillside.
Chen Li nodded: "Well, you have to use it all." You all have to practice my throwing skills well, and it's up to you whether you can take out those big black bulls. ”
"Big Black Bull?"
"Boss, you don't want us to hunt the big black bull, do you......"
"This ......"
Everyone's movements were almost the same, they all shrunk their necks, drooped their expressions, and looked scared.
The big black bull is not a wild boar, and its huge size is completely beyond the scope of what humans can hunt.
Not to mention the wooden gun, even a Fang Tian painting halberd will not work!
No matter how high the output is, how to fight if the defense is not enough?
The iron-horned black bull collided with each other, and everyone, including Chen Li, couldn't bear it, so they could only die violently on the spot.
Chen Li understands everyone's concerns.
But he had no fear, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I won't let you die, your life is precious." I have a way to deal with those big guys, at least I can be invincible. ”
"How? What's the solution? ”
Everyone is curious about this.
"You'll know when the time comes."
However, Chen Li did not explain and sold Guanzi.
"Go to bed after eating, rest well, and practice your throwing skills tomorrow."
He said this, ate the meat in his hand, and got up and left the fire.
It's too early for him to go to bed now.
Chen Li didn't want to spend the whole day with primitive people.
Cultivate and cultivate, and occasionally you need to relax yourself, take a break, and look at the scenery.
This is a primitive era with unique scenery, and the beautiful sea is the destination of his eyes.
Chen Li left the crowd and walked around the woods alone to the coast.
It was just dark, and the moon hung in the corner of the sky, emitting a soft white light.
The waves caress the sand and make a pleasant noise.
At this time, the sea is at low tide, and many crustaceans on the wet beach are happily breathing in the fresh air.
"Do you want to get some seafood to satisfy your cravings?" Chen Li secretly wondered.
