Chapter Twenty-Five: Ji Yannai's Little Hot Pot
A few little girls gather around and do a small party. Before, they had only been a little alarmed at the moment of Akuma's attack, and then they fell silent.
Instead of following the adults to see Akuma up close, they studied cooking here from the very beginning.
A girl with blue hair carefully sprinkled some powder into a stone pot. The stone pot had apparently been carved out by her meditation, and she had been searching for a long time before she could find a usable stone.
Then it took a long time to slowly grind into a pot, which was still in the case of a depression in the stone, otherwise it would have taken even longer.
"Ji Yanna, what is this?" Lara asked with some curiosity.
"I don't know." However, this name is Ji Yannai just shook his head: "I also found it in a cave next to our tribe before, you can try it." ”
After saying that, she wiped a little with her hand and handed it to Lala to let her taste it. Then Lala stuck out her tongue and licked the powder, but after a few moments she let out a "puff", apparently not very good.
"What does it smell like?" She couldn't help but ask, a little stunned.
“......”
However, Ji Hanna couldn't say it herself, and after thinking about it for a long time, she finally gave up: "It doesn't matter what it is, but although it is a little difficult to eat directly, adding it to food can make the food more delicious." ”
"Oh yes," she said at the end, as if she remembered something again: "And this." ”
Then, Lala and a few other girls next to her watched Ji Yanna excitedly take out a hollow wooden strip and remove the plug at the same time.
Faintly, Lala and the others could see some red powder inside the wooden strips.
"It's... Spicy fruit? The one who spoke was a girl who was a little younger than Lala, the girl's name was Sasha, and she was visibly startled as she watched Ji Yanna's movements.
"Can you eat this?"
"Hmm." Ji Yanna nodded without hesitation, this is indeed the spicy fruit that Sasha said, in fact, not only this girl, but several other people also recognized what this was.
Small plants are very common in the spicy fruit forest, and they have a chance to bear fruit once a year. And the fruit produced by this plant is small, only the size of a little finger, and the color is bright red.
In the past, they had eaten this kind of fruit that looked tempting, but it was a big loss for spicy people, and they all shrunk their necks: "Sister Ji Yannai, forget it, I'm afraid of spicy." ”
"It's okay, I've dried it and chiseled it into powder, it's not that spicy, and I've only put a little bit of it."
Ji Yanna naturally ignored it, but it was true that as she said, she only put a little bit of it, then stuffed it back into the plug and put away the wooden stick.
However, Ji Yana didn't seem to give up, and continued to find a few wooden sticks, adding the different colors of powder to the pot. There are those they can distinguish and those they can't, but there is no doubt that each one is the kind of plant that keeps them away.
It's not that they're poisonous, it's that the smell of those plants is too pungent for them to touch. Although they really wanted Ji Yanna to stop, but seeing the little girl's elated appearance, they were obviously already enjoying it, so they didn't speak.
The flames were still burning unhurriedly, and some ethereal flames floated out from under the stone cauldron, and they were dazzling. However, perhaps because the stones are so thick, there is no reaction in the pot for a long time.
Lala's eyes had been looking curiously at the stone cauldron, and many of the things added to it seemed to her before were the kind of plants that were difficult to swallow, as well as some water.
Lala didn't know why the good food had to be stewed in water instead, wouldn't that be very troublesome?
Wouldn't it be better to grill it directly on the fire?
Luckily, there was still some meat, and her eyes were fixed on it.
If Amanda was here, she would definitely recognize it at the first time, could it be that this is the prehistoric hot pot, the prototype of hot pot?
After I don't know how long, the water in the stone pot finally reacted, and began to churn slowly, and then a fragrance also wafted out of the pot, making several girls a little dumbfounded.
"It's almost ...."
Ji Hanna smiled mysteriously, and then used a wooden spoon to turn over the food in the pot, and suddenly the more charming fragrance also came to the nose, making the girls intoxicated and apprehensive.
However, Yoshihana herself was very happy, and this was the first time she had invited the other girls to make this fresh food.
When she was in the Giro tribe before, she also thought about it, but in the end, she didn't say it for various reasons.
Moreover, because she often does these strange things, other people in the tribe look at her strangely, and it is even more difficult to speak as time goes by.
On this long trip, she held this pot directly, tired for several days but never let go, and her attachment to this pot was like her life.
It's also that other people think she's weirder, but it doesn't matter, because she's so content right now.
As the flame burned, the water in the stone pot became more boiling, and at this time, Yoshihana finally carefully scooped a plant leaf with a wooden spoon and tasted it.
"That's it." She said.
"Oh." The others nodded, wanting to taste it but being a little afraid.
"It's fine." Ji Yana was very cheerful, and then took a few wooden spoons and handed them to the other girls.
Frightened, the girls reached out and took it.
The water in the pot is still boiling. As if she wanted to roll outside, Lala finally made up her mind at this time, she glanced at Ji Yanna, who had eaten again, and scooped a little.
However, she still prefers to choose meat rather than Ji Yanna. It's not that she thinks it's tastier, it's just that she still doesn't dare to try those strange plants.
Then, the taste in the mouth made her feel a burst of aftertaste, so delicious..., not as dry as directly grilled meat, and the diluted powder of those stimulating plants was also perfectly blended together.
She even regretted a little that she hadn't thought of this method before, and if she applied those powders to the roasted meat, it would definitely make the taste countless times better.
The other girls next to him also looked delicious, and even many of them had already begun to take a second bite.
"By the way, I eat plants, too."
However, seeing that none of these people touched those plants, Ji Yanna was a little unhappy, and she gestured to a few people again: "It's not so scary." ”
