Chapter 13 Eggs in a Stone Pot
Jun Qianqian not only underestimated the strength of the people's digestive system, but also underestimated their appetite, and there were not a few fish left after a dinner with a full load of fish yesterday.
…… It seems that there is still a long way to go before we can accumulate food for the winter.
Jun Qianqian taught Luo Ze how to build a rack for drying fish, and he quickly built a dozen of them, and there were not so many fish left.
"It's okay to use blades of grass to go through the gills of the fish, through the mouth, and hang it on a shelf."
Jun Qianqian did not go to the river with the fishing brigade today, but stayed in the tribe to teach the remaining women and children to dry fish and weave fishing nets and baskets.
"Qianqian, this is for you!"
Kasha, who was pregnant, gave Jun Qianqian a handful of berries wrapped in leaves, although this fruit tasted delicious, but the berries were easy to break and could not be preserved, and each fruit was too much to eat, so everyone in the tribe generally did not pick this kind of berry.
But Jun Qianqian likes to eat this very much, and Kaisha notices that Luo Ze will help Jun Qianqian pick some for breakfast when he is on guard.
"For me?"
Jun Qianqian was still struggling with the blades of grass and trying to rub out something like a straw rope, she raised her head and took the leaves in surprise.
Although she has not been in the Purple Flower Tribe for a long time, she has already learned to be obedient, and she had better accept whatever someone gave her immediately, otherwise she will really be pestered all day, and she will have to face the pitiful expression of the clansman......
Is this your tribe's ancestral skill of selling cuteness?
Luo Ze told her that giving something was a way to express gratitude in the tribe, and it would make them very sad to refuse someone else's thanks, but when Jun Qianqian tried to return the gift, she was rejected every time, isn't this group of people a bit of a double standard, hey, although Jun Qianqian doesn't feel annoyed at all when she is spoiled like this......
"We have enough food and my children will survive in the future."
Kaisha, who was still pregnant, touched her belly and smiled.
"Everyone's children will survive in the future."
Jun Qianqian chatted with the people left behind in the village while working, and she had a total of six children in the village, she was the oldest, and none of these children had both parents, and Kaisha's husband died in an accident.
…… The existence of this tribe that has been reduced to such a situation and is still surviving is also very strong.
"Qianqian is really a treasure given to us by God!"
Another woman, who was younger than Kaisha, was busy turning over the hanging fish, and their eyes were full of maternal love when they looked at Jun Qianqian.
After all, Jun Qianqian is still an underage cub! And she's still so weak, she eats slowly and rarely.
"I sometimes feel ...... I'm also lucky to have met you......"
Jun Qianqian thought that although she crossed through the head and ran directly to the primitive society, everyone in the tribe was very good to her, and they quickly accepted her, although clumsy, everyone cared about her.
This is something she hasn't felt in her life, in her previous life, Jun Qianqian's relationship with everyone was faintly alienated, although the relationship between the school and her roommates seemed to be very harmonious, but after graduation, everyone stopped contacting.
She had never been so comfortable sitting in the middle of the crowd talking to everyone as she was now, and the warmth seemed so strange to her.
In the evening, the fishing brigade returned with a full load again, because this time they brought more than a dozen fishing nets made in a hurry, and the fish brought back today were twice as many as yesterday, and Jun Qianqian visually measured that the open space in the middle of the tribe should be full of fish tomorrow.
"Qianqian, this is for you to eat."
Luo Ze put down the net full of fresh fish on his back, and today's harvest made the fishing team run twice to transport all the fresh fish back.
"What?"
Jun Qianqian sat by the fire and waited for the meal, there was only breakfast and dinner in the tribe, breakfast was just two simple bites, and dinner was very late, she had been waiting for this meal for a long time.
"If you eat this, you will become stronger."
Luo Ze took out two off-white things from his leather pocket and stuffed them to Jun Qianqian, and the two round things still carried the temperature of Luo Ze's body.
"Eggs? What is this egg? ”
Jun Qianqian carefully looked at the rare food in her hand, it was definitely not easy to eat eggs in this era when hunting was not very sharp......
"It's something that the snake guards, you should eat it."
Luo Ze didn't say a word about the fact that he was almost bitten by a snake in order to get these two snake eggs, Jun Qianqian's weakness was something he had been worried about, even if the tribe was not short of food now, he was still very afraid that Jun Qianqian would get sick.
Snakes or birds' eggs are not only rare in the Purple Flower Tribe, but also very rare food in all tribes, generally this kind of thing is specially given to the children born in the tribe, and the children who eat eggs have a greater chance of surviving than those who don't.
"Snake eggs...... Eggs can't be baked, they'll explode. ”
Jun Qianqian didn't have the idea of eating eggs raw at all, she glanced at the eggs at the firelight, who knows how far the little snakes in it have hatched, she doesn't want to swallow two little snakes alive......
"Eat it."
Luo Ze urged, as if he couldn't let go of his heart without watching Jun Qianqian swallow the snake egg raw.
"I ......"
Jun Qianqian really wants to have a pot now...... Suddenly I think that poached eggs are actually a very complicated dish......
However, it turns out that as long as the mind does not slip, there are always more ways than difficulties, Jun Qianqian found a concave stone, she first put the stone in the fire to heat it and then knocked the snake egg on the stone, this stone is more like a baking tray than a pot.
Stone pot baked eggs!
Jun Qianqian suddenly felt that her poached eggs were so tall.
“……”
Luo Ze watched Jun Qianqian toss without saying a word, he was actually very afraid that she would not bother to drop the eggs into the fire, as if the two eggs were a little less than she would have no effect if they were not eaten by her.
"It's better to eat eggs when they are cooked, except for specially treated sterile eggs, most eggs are eaten raw with bacteria."
Jun Qianqian saw Luo Ze staring at herself tightly, and hurriedly explained to him.
"The power of fire is great."
Although Luo Ze didn't understand, he still nodded, and when Jun Qianqian ate the last piece of protein into his stomach, he finally relaxed.
“…… People won't steal my food, what the hell are you worried about? ”
Jun Qianqian looked at Luo Ze's obviously relieved appearance, a little funny.
“……”
Luo Ze didn't know where his thoughts came from, Jun Qianqian's cleverness helped the tribe a lot, and everyone admired and cared about her, but Luo Ze thought more, he was afraid that Jun Qianqian would leave, whether it was because of the weak physique or because of the poverty of the tribe.
