Chapter 14

Ah Xi, who was holding hot broth and barbecue outside the door, walked in, and looked at Ye Qingxin with envy in his eyes, "Xin, this is the broth that Qi asked me to cook for you, he is really good to you, and all the females who fall are about to envy you to death!" ”

Ye Qingxin smiled lightly, took the food and ate it slowly, while talking to Ah Xi and learning their language.

After studying for most of the day, Ye Qingxin really summarized some pronunciation rules.

The language here is relatively simple, and it has many pronunciation similarities with the language of my time, even like a dialect of a certain place.

So as long as they speak a little slower, based on pronunciation and guesses, Ye Qingxin can still understand the approximate situation!

The language problem has been solved, and her life in this tribe can be much more convenient.

Eating light and tasteless food, Ye Qingxin wanted to make some salt more and more, so he gestured to Ah Xi and said, "Ah Xi, I need a lot of plant ash and water, can you take me there?" ”

"Heart, if you want to drink water, I'll help you scoop it." When Ah Xi heard the new word "plant ash" for the first time, he asked a little ignorantly, "What is plant ash?" ”

Ye Qingxin directly took Ah Xi's arm, walked out of the wooden house, and went straight to the blazing fires in the open space, looking at the piles of grass and wood ashes with glowing eyes, "Ah Xi, help me find a stone to coil." ”

Picking out a large plate full of ashes from under the three large fires, Ye Qingxin carefully put the ashes of the plants and trees into the large stone pot and stirred, patiently waiting for the impurities to precipitate, and filtering out the water dissolved in the upper layer of potassium salt.

Unfortunately, there is only one large stone pot and a small stone pot, and there are too few containers that can hold water, but fortunately, Ah Xi picked a lot of plantain leaves to make a funnel-shaped container, and collected a lot of salt water.

Ye Qingxin put the big stone pot back on the fire and began to boil the "goo-goo-goo" boiling salt water.

After boiling all the filtered water, the bottom of the stone pot really precipitated a lot of yellow-white potassium salts, Ye Qingxin asked Ah Xi for a knife made of stone chips, and carefully scraped off those crystals.

After working for most of the day, it took a little bit of salt the size of a quail egg to be boiled out, Ye Qingxin couldn't help pouting, this efficiency is too low, it's better than nothing.

"This is salt?" Ah Xi came over curiously, not understanding what was the use of the two of them wasting most of their energy to boil up such a little dirty thing.

Ye Qingxin dipped a little of his finger into her lips and teased her with a smile, "Just try it!" ”

Ah Xi licked it without hesitation, and his delicate little face instantly wrinkled into a bitter melon, "Bah, bah...... It's unpalatable! ”

"Hahaha......"

Ye Qingxin saw that he had "succeeded in his treacherous plan", and he leaned forward and backward with a smile, and almost fell to the ground, his back was held up by a warm and powerful hand.

"Kai, you're back!" When Ah Xi saw Qi, the bitter gourd's little face immediately bloomed with an innocent smile.

"Heart, what is this?" Qi sat down, pulled Ye Qingxin on his lap, looked at the pinch of yellow-white powder on the green leaves, and asked.

"This is salt...... Ye Qingxin repeated his old trick, and dipped his finger into Qi's lips, "It's so easy to boil out, taste it!" ”

Ah Xi hurriedly shook his head and waved his hand to squeeze his eyes, "Don't, don't, it's unpalatable." ”

Qi did not hesitate to take Ye Qingxin's fingers into his mouth, and a heavy taste with a bitter taste instantly permeated his mouth.

He frowned slightly, "It's bitter, it's still very ......"

He couldn't describe the taste, because he didn't have the taste of "salty" in his cognition, let alone "salty".

"This taste is called salty, and that's what salt tastes like." Ye Qingxin said with a smile.

Kai shook his head and said, "It's not good, this taste is not good at all." ”

"Of course it's not good to eat like this!" Ye Qingxin patted his muscular chest casually, and said with a mysterious expression, "Soon, I will let you see the charm of salt!" ”

Seeing Ye Qingxin wrapping those yellow-white powders like a baby, Qi Ye just smiled faintly and let her go.

The meat brought back from the hunt was quickly skinned and roasted by the women, and as dusk wore on, the whole tribe was filled with the enticing aroma of roasted meat.

Ah Xi brought the barbecue meat allocated to Qihe Ye Qingxin, and when he saw Ye Qingxin pinching a pinch of salt and sprinkling it on the barbecue, he couldn't help but change his face and said busily, "Heart, this salt is very palatable......

Looking at Qi Bo's face, Ah Xi had to swallow back the second half of his sentence and didn't dare to say it.

The elders said that bitter things are poisonous, and eating them will make people sick or even die.

The taste of this salt will make the tongue tingle uncomfortably, and there is a hint of bitterness, will it be poisonous?

"Oh, you can taste the salted food." Ye Qingxin handed a roasted beast leg to Qi's face, looking at him expectantly.

The pair of eyes that reflected the firelight and were like starry eyes filled with starlight made Qi's heart swell with infinite pampering, not to mention that Ye Qingxin handed him roasted beast legs, even if it was poison, he would not hesitate to eat it.

"Don't ......" Ah Xi on the side looked at Qi nervously, wanting to stop it but didn't dare, so he had to hum like a mosquito.

"Well, why can't you taste salt, but the food becomes very tasty?" After swallowing a large mouthful of barbecue, Kai gave a high evaluation with a puzzled face.

The salted barbecue has a strong flavor that makes you want to swallow your tongue together!

It turned out that eating barbecue was just to fill his stomach and continue to survive, and this salted roasted beast leg actually made Qi feel that eating such delicious food was a pleasure.

It's like pestering with his female last night, not to vent instinctive impulses, but to enjoy that wonderful pleasure......

The food in his hand has become unusually delicious because of this little salt, why does this female bring him a huge surprise every time?

Looking at Qi's satisfied expression, Ye Qingxin said proudly, "It's delicious!" Little sister, I'm a fairy, I won't lie! ”

Ah Xi also breathed a sigh of relief, with a look of guilt on his face, and apologized to Ye Qingxin straightforwardly, "Xin, I was worried that the salt would be poisonous just now, and I was wrong for not believing that you were you." ”

Ye Qingxin couldn't help but sprinkle a little salt on her barbecue, and smiled and said, "Eat, don't be so polite." ”

It can be seen that Ah Xi admires and loves Qi very much, and when Qi just ate the salted food, Ah Xi's nervous face changed, as if he was afraid that he would be poisoned.

But this girl is not the same as the sinister and cunning Aji.

She is simple by nature and has no ambition, and she is obedient enough, although she loves Qi but has no other thoughts, she listens to her and Qi's instructions happily every day, and serves them diligently, Ye Qingxin likes her very much.

Ah Xi picked up the barbecue, took a big bite as if he was heartfelt, and after chewing a few times, the big almond eyes instantly widened as big as copper bells, and nodded desperately, "It's delicious, it's delicious...... This salt and meat are so fragrant! ”
