Chapter 381: True Feelings and Real Scenes - 'Flood Famine' (7)
Xu Ran picked up one of the three pieces of roasted meat and tasted it, it tasted very good; Due to the freshness of the meat, the meat flavor itself has a fragrant taste; And although this piece of meat is fat, the entrance is fat but not greasy; In addition, this piece of meat has been salted by primitive people, so it is indeed very appetizing and delicious.
Xu Ran put the other two pieces of roasted meat on the stone where the meat pieces were placed in front of the sociable primitive and another primitive who was closer to him, and let the two of them taste them; Then he picked up three small pieces of meat from the pile of meat in front of him and continued to grill them; Next, Xu Ran successively let the other 7 primitive people sitting near him taste a piece of such barbecue in turn.
When Xu Ran roasted the first batch of meat pieces, the primitive people around them were already attracted by the aroma of barbecued meat, and when they tasted their respective pieces of barbecued meat, they realized what is the delicacy of the world, and also understood that only people like the great god can create such a delicious taste of the world; And for them, this is all something that can be met but not sought.
In the process of Xu Ran's barbecue, the aroma of barbecue on their side also attracted the children who returned to the cave, and those children came out of the cave one after another, looking at Xu Ran barbecuing here with longing, and at the same time intoxicated with the aroma of barbecue wafting in the air; The children seemed to be following the rules, even if they could smell more of the barbecue if they got closer, but they didn't come any further.
Xu Ran asked the primitive people to call those children closer, and he gave the next roasted pieces of meat to the children one by one.
Xu Ran asked the primitive people: "Is this barbecue delicious?" ”
Those primitive people nodded desperately to indicate that it was delicious, if it weren't for the fear that talking nonsense in front of Xu Ran, the great god, they would have been unable to help but praise the deliciousness of the 'barbecue'.
Xu Ran said to them: "Since you like to eat barbecue, then go and cut some large slices of meat, this small piece is too slow to roast." ”
The sociable primitive man immediately arranged for a few women to slice meat by the river, and Xu Ran instructed them to divide the meat into thin pieces of meat about 10 centimeters square.
When this large piece of meat was processed, Xu Ran no longer continued to grill those small pieces of meat, but began to roast this large piece of meat in three pieces at a time, which greatly improved his barbecue efficiency; Due to the arbitrariness of his spiritual power and physical ability, these three large pieces of meat can be adjusted to the appropriate position and angle at any time when they are roasted, which is very convenient to bake.
After the next barbecue came out of the oven, Xu Ran first took a piece and tasted it himself, and then distributed it to the 9 primitive men one by one, and then began to distribute it to those primitive children.
When he saw that the primitive children were also divided into a large piece of barbecued meat by one person, the primitive man who had repeatedly communicated with Xu Ran was not calm, and he told Xu Ran that except for those who had successfully hunted here, they could eat at noon, and the others did not eat at noon, which was the tradition of their tribe: "When the food is sufficient, it is eaten once a day in the morning and in the evening." And because the food is not sufficient, the rationing of the food must also be differentiated.
Xu Ran thought about it and understood, in the real world, Xu Ran knew that in the past, some places only ate two meals a day, and this living habit itself was to save food; And because the total amount of food is effective, there have been cases where the amount of food is divided according to the type of work, gender, and adulthood.
Xu Ran said: "Then follow your tradition, but there is a lot of meat harvested today, so let everyone taste the taste of barbecue at noon." ”
Since the great god had said so, the primitive man was not stingy, and immediately let the children share a large piece of meat for every four people; The women then shared a large piece of meat for every four; I don't know if today is the New Year of this primitive tribe, and finally everyone tasted the delicious barbecue at noon.
After eating this sumptuous lunch, after the primitive people asked Xu Ran that they were going to live and live here for a period of time, they asked him to choose a cave to live in, no matter which cave Xu Ran picked, the primitive people would happily immediately vacate it for him; After all, there are great gods willing to dwell in them, which in itself makes them feel supremely honored.
Xu Ran didn't want to affect the living environment of primitive people too much, he chose the smallest cave, the entrance of this cave is 2 meters wide, 2 meters high, and 5 meters deep, which is much smaller than other caves, but Xu Ran feels that it is enough for him to live alone; The primitive people did not have the concept of politeness, since the great god chose this cave, they believed that it was naturally in line with the truth of the great god, and quickly vacated the things in this cave, and rearranged it for Xu Ran.
The cave is 3 meters wide and 3 meters high. As for the arrangement, that is, the primitive people arranged a comfortable bunk on the ground for Xu Ran, and this bunk was re-paved with clean new hay, Xu Ran estimated that there was no problem with sleeping four people on the floor, it seems that the primitive people wanted to make Xu Ran more comfortable when he slept; Xu Ran praised the primitive people for knowing how to reserve some hay in advance, which shows that the primitive people already have a considerable ability to plan their lives.
The piece of dinosaur skin that Xu Ran brought back this time was also soaked in the pond after the primitive people cleaned up the dinosaur meat hanging on the skin, and this dinosaur skin also had a one-meter and five-square appearance, originally Xu Ran was thinking about making clothes for himself, but looking at the current living conditions, he also had to prepare a larger skin for himself, which was used to lay on the ground as a mat.
This will be primitive women and children are busy drying dinosaur meat pieces, they lean on the cliff wall on the sunny side of the tree trunk with forks, and then use sticks to carry on the two trunk forks, and then tie those pieces of meat with hay to one end, and then hang the pieces of meat tied by hay, piece by piece, on the stick shoulder, so that the salted meat pieces bask in the sun there; Xu Ran saw that their method of disposing of fresh meat was really scientific and adapted to local conditions, and after the meat pieces were marinated and dried, it was indeed convenient for long-term preservation.
The 9 adult men all went to their lunch break during this period, and after lunch just now, these primitive people did not raise the question of reloading the dinosaur meat, they should have realized that they would not gain anything when they went again, after all, when they left, there were still a lot of idle beasts waiting in line there.
After Xu Ran saw the busyness of primitive women, he also went back to his cave to take a nap and take a nap.
When he woke up from his lunch break and walked out of the cave, the nine primitive adult men were already waiting outside the cave, watching the women work, Xu Ran estimated that it would be 3 o'clock in the afternoon according to the position of the sun.
The dinosaur skin that Xu Ran brought was facing the ground and lying on the ground at this time, and there were four women there who were rubbing the crushed soil particles in the fur with their hands, thinking that the intention should be to rub the minced flesh adhered to the inside of the dinosaur's skin; There are also women who turn over the strips of meat that are hanging to dry and adjust their position so that they can be dried in all directions.
The primitive man who frequently communicated with Xu Ran came over to ask Xu Ran what arrangements he had for the afternoon, and Xu Ran told the other party that he planned to find a larger dinosaur skin in the afternoon, and at the same time get more firewood; The primitive man happily said to Xu Ran that they also wanted to see if there was any prey in the trap; So the group ran again to the place where the dinosaurs were hunted in the morning.
On the way there, Xu Ran learned some about this primitive tribe by asking:
1. There are not only nine hunters in the tribe who are in charge of hunting, but there are also eight other hunters who have formed another hunting team and hunted in another area, and since the other team has not yet caught the prey, they have not returned to the camp before, but whether they can catch the prey that day or not, they will return to the camp before dark.
2. This sociable primitive man is the leader of this tribe, but when he encounters things, he cannot act arbitrarily, and in some cases he needs to consult with other warriors to decide; Fortunately, their tribe has a lot of traditional habits, and as long as he acts according to traditional habits, it will not cause controversy.
Third, this tribe does not have its own written language, and the language they use to communicate is quite simple, which also makes it very difficult for Xu Ran to communicate with them, because there are some things that they cannot express in words.
Fourth, no traces of other human life have been found in the area where they live.
In response to these points, Xu Ran's first consideration was that since he was going to live here for a while, he should teach them to use words and improve their cultural level, so as to facilitate his communication with the other party.
As for whether there are other primitive tribes around here, Xu Ran feels that he can't listen to them all; Xu Ran also learned about the daily habits of primitive people, because the environment in this deep forest is dangerous, and the range of activities of primitive people in the deep forest is limited; And in the mountain range they are back, due to the scarcity of food, the primitive people will not leave the camp and run far in the mountain range, so Xu Ran thinks that the scope of primitive people's knowledge should also be limited.
As for the salt used to cure their meat, primitive people collected it on a slope at the edge of the deep forest, and not only they had to eat it, but also the animals in the deep forest.
On the way, the primitive man also asked about Xu Ran's origin, and after thinking about it again, Xu Ran told the primitive man: "I came from heaven to practice here, and I have to return to heaven from time to time." "There's no way around it, Xu Ran really can't explain to the primitive people how he came here, so he can only say so.
When I came to the location of the dinosaur's corpse again, the dinosaur meat had been eaten completely, and the part of the dinosaur skin on its body next to the soil was still relatively intact, which was according to Xu Ran's wishes.
The primitive people laid a total of 5 traps in this area, four of which remained as they were, and one trap had been trampled on empty, but when Xu Ran arrived, there was no prey in the trap, it was possible that the prey had escaped or the prey had not fallen into the trap.
Xu Ran wondered why the primitive man didn't dig the trap deeper, and the primitive man explained: "There are many stones on the ground here, and the further down you go, the more difficult it is to dig, and the places where there are not many stones are rooted by big trees, and it is also very difficult to dig." ”
The primitive people restored the surface of the damaged trap, and then they collected 6 bundles of branches here as firewood for Xu Ran to go back to roast meat; They also collected some dinosaur bones on the dinosaur skeleton, it was difficult for them to touch the skeleton of this large dinosaur, some bones could be processed into bone knives by them, like dinosaur leg bones, which could be used as big sticks for them to wield.
Then they worked together to remove the remaining dinosaur skeleton, fold up the half of the dinosaur skin on the ground, and bring it back to the camp. Although there are many places on this half of the dinosaur skin that were torn by the beasts when they ate meat, the overall feeling is still a very good dinosaur skin.
Xu Ran's barbecue work in the evening will not say much, in general, it has to amaze the primitive people again, after all, compared with eating barbecue meat and eating raw meat, the difference in taste is very different, these primitive people have not eaten cooked meat in their lives.
In the eyes of these primitive people, Xu Ran is a god man from the sky, they can eat the food baked by the god man, that is their own blessing, naturally they eat a meal, and they will never expect to have such a meal; So although they were very excited to eat, they were also very calm at the same time, they all took it for granted that this barbecue was something that could not be met for them, so they would not think too much about it, just saying that Xu Ran's way of roasting meat was not something that they primitive people could do.
What they didn't know was that Xu Ran also wanted to teach them the method of roasting meat as soon as possible, and let them roast their own food, of course, this was not the method of using spiritual power to roast meat; It's a pity that I can't find a cooking tool here for a while, and even if I change to an ordinary modern person, I can't engage in the barbecue business.
Before dark, the primitives leader came to Xu Ran's cave with two primitives, one of them was holding the skull of a beast in her hand, which contained clear water, and the primitives leader told Xu Ran: "These two women are here to sleep for the great god." The two primitive women stood behind the leader and looked at Xu Ran expectantly.
