Chapter 5: Eating the Greatest Meal

Chen Chao asked about the aroma of this grilled fish, and he didn't feel his index finger move, he glanced at the old man with the jerky, the language barrier, and he couldn't communicate well.

Mainly, now yourself ... It's so hungry!

He thought about it, first handed the skewer of grilled fish in his hand to the old man, the old man's eyes lit up, swallowed his saliva, but still waved his hand, and repeated the action again, indicating that he still wanted Chen Chao's fire, not the fish.

The old man has a high horn on his head, and can decide the ownership of food, and should be a figure such as a witch or elder in the tribe.

Chen Chao saw that he didn't understand the language, so he had to solve his stomach problem first, and he solved a slapped fish in two bites, but the taste...

TM's no salt!

It's really bland and tasteless, but fortunately, the umami is full, and the water in the river is also very clean, so after removing the internal organs and gills, there is no such unpleasant earthy smell.

When he was about to eat the second fish, his host Huang Yan also came to the fire with a blank eye. He pointed to the fish on the wooden shelf, opened his mouth and said the word "ah".

Chen Chao first pronounced a syllable of "eat, fish", and then handed over a roasted yellow fish, Huang Yan took a bite first, but was scalded and grinned, but still refused to spit out the fish.

After he took a bite of the fish, he turned his head to look at the old man holding the jerky, and then turned his head to look at Chen Chao, and then reluctantly handed the grilled fish to the old man, and learned Chen Chao's pronunciation just now, "Fish, fish, ah." ”

In this way, a grilled fish was only half a circle in the crowd and it was gone, and the rest of the people looked at the grilled fish on the fire, and the saliva of the two children who had not eaten it flowed out.

They took the hands of the old people beside them, and wanted to pull the old people to the river, although the old people who didn't eat it also felt a pity, but they had experienced more things, and naturally understood the importance of this kind of thing to the tribe better than these greedy children.

This is the river in front of your own tribe!

And this thing seems to be a lot, maybe in the future the tribe will not only be able to catch prey in the forest, but old people like themselves can also find a way to fork some fish in the river, as long as there is enough food in winter, as long as they are also a laborer who can obtain food, they will not be abandoned in winter!

Chen Chao handed a freshly roasted fish to Huang Yan, who was looking at him with a blank eye, but Huang Yan took it and put it in front of his nose to smell the fragrance, and after smelling it, he handed it to the old man behind him, and then he squatted down and followed Chen Chao's example, put the skewered fish on the shelf and roasted it, and turned it from time to time.

The old man with the horns wanted to stop it, but he sighed when he thought about it, this little baby is very ghostly, and we are all here, so we will follow the little baby.

Chen Chao saw that Huang Yan began to help him grill the fish, and finally had his hands free, he first showed a sincere smile, then put his two hands together, put them on the side of his face, and made a gesture to sleep and rest, and then waved his hand, telling the old man that he had no place to rest, but he could live in your tribe.

Sure enough, maybe there is a language barrier, but the smiles between humans are magical, coupled with the previous grilled fish, the old people in the tribe gradually let down their guard against him, but they still didn't agree, just said that they couldn't decide, and they had to wait for the leader to come back.

They were both happy and afraid of Chen Chao's arrival, but they were more happy, mainly because Chen Chao could catch fish, and the holy fire, these were things they didn't have, and this was a labor force in the prime of life!

If there is one more person to hunt, it means that there is one more food for the winter.

In their cognition, there were many wild people who were driven out by the tribe to live alone, and the tribe had absorbed two or three, so they did not have any doubts about Chen Chao's identity.

And the fear mainly comes from strangeness, basically appears in the elderly, and now the men in the whole tribe are out hunting, only a few of us old men and a few children, such a strong man, if you want to snatch the meat jerky in the tribe, these old and weak sick people think that they can't resist it at all.

Like naïve children, they have long been around Chen Chao under the leadership of Huang Yan.

Before the sun set, there was a sparse sound of footsteps in the woods, and the laughter of men and women, the women wrapped in animal skins first, and then the men carrying their prey.

At this time, of course, there were already animal skin clothes, but compared to covering shame, primitive people still felt that the storage and carrying function of animal skins were more important.

Moreover, the autumn temperature here is not so low, and in the absence of the need to protect against the cold, the animal skins in the tribe are naturally used to load the collected fruits.

The only exception was the leader of the tribe, who had an animal skin wrapped around his waist.

When the men who had returned from hunting and saw that the children had gathered, they all felt relaxed, but suddenly they saw a stranger, startled, and were about to assume a defensive posture, when the old man hurriedly took a grilled fish and explained to the leader wrapped in animal skins.

The leader took the grilled fish from the old man's hand and tasted it, although it was a little cold, it was indeed edible and delicious, much like the cooked meat that he had tasted in that fire tribe before.

I had asked for the Fire Tribe, and was even willing to give the flesh of the two beasts, wanting to learn from them how to obtain the Holy Fire, but the Fire Tribe was very careful every time they took the fire, and did not allow others to watch at all, and did not allow others to take the Holy Fire away, and to take it away was to be the enemy of their entire tribe, and they would suffer the punishment of the Fire God.

The two sides exchanged words in the local dialect for a while, and the old man excitedly led them to the river, first pointing to the river, indicating that the fish were caught from the river, and then letting the chief see the little fire.

The leader's eyes lit up, and he first looked at the fire carefully, and wanted to crouch down to touch it, but his hand was burned as soon as he touched the flame, but the more he did, the more excited he became.

He has seen fire, and he has eaten cooked meat, so he naturally knows that cooked meat is better than the air-dried meat or raw meat that he usually eats in his tribe, but the fire is too difficult to obtain and preserve, and his tribe can only eat cooked meat every time there is a mountain fire, it's not that he hasn't tried to bring the fire back, it's just, alas...

Thinking of this, he looked at the burly man sitting by the fire, with hope and longing in his eyes, the tribe needs the holy fire so much!
