A month later.

Ye Xi held a nest of birds in his left hand, and dragged a large leafy branch in his right hand, shuttling quickly through the jungle of Xiaotu Mountain.

The wind ruffled his hair, and the branches and leaves swept in his ears.

In the past month, after the continuous nourishment of meat, Ye Xi's body has become much stronger than before, although it still looks thin, but there is no feeling of weakness, and the whole body exudes a lean momentum.

And the warmth of the beast's blood greatly improved Ye Xi's agility and explosiveness. At this time, shuttling between the mountains and forests, the speed was similar to that of him who climbed Xiaotu Mountain for the first time.

"Hey, stop, let me see what good things you've found!" a man suddenly jumped down from the tree and took the bird's nest that Ye Xi was holding in his hand.

In the face of the sudden attack, Ye Xi was defenseless, his brain didn't have time to react, and his body had already avoided it by itself.

"Huh?" the cone was surprised that Ye Xi was able to avoid it.

The cone did not give up, and wanted to see how much Ye Xi had improved. The shot was like lightning, and he wanted to take away the bird's nest in Ye Xi's hand.

Ye Xi dodged a few times, and his speed gradually couldn't keep up with the cone's attack.

Seeing that the cone was about to grab the bird's nest, he saw Ye Xi use the bird's nest as a frisbee and threw it straight into the distance.

Eggs, eggs, are broken, and the cone flies and chases after the nest.

Ye Xi looked at the back exposed by the cone, chuckled at the corner of his mouth, held the branch in his hand, and slapped it fiercely.

"Call you to surprise attack!"

As soon as the cone caught the nest, he was slapped on the back.

"Ye Xi, you are too insidious!" cone shouted as he held the bird's nest.

"It's called cleverness, not insidiousness. "Cone is a reserve soldier, if it is normal, he will definitely be abused by the cone, of course he has to use some brains.

You're not sinister yet, Cone muttered.

The cone is also big-hearted, and after secretly complaining, he forgot about the slap on his back, anyway, it didn't hurt much, he looked at the nest in his hand and said, "Oh, there are six eggs in this nest! ”

"If you want to take out the eggs yourself, you still can't send me these six eggs. ”

"Hee-hee, by the way, your skills have improved compared to the previous two days. ”

Ye Xi said in his heart, of course, the blood of the fierce beast is nourished uninterruptedly every day, and it is strange that there is no progress. Half a month has passed, he has been working hard to absorb the blood of the fierce beast, and then exercise his skills, and now he finally has some results.

"Just a little. ”

"Don't be modest, you are simply making rapid progress, if you continue like this, you will be eligible to participate in the reserve trial the year after tomorrow!"

Ye Xi shook his head, the blood of the fierce beast was almost used, and the meat of the fierce beast that Wu said had not yet landed, so it was impossible to make progress like this.

"By the way, what is the use of this branch in your hand, do you burn firewood, this is too thin, and we can do this kind of thing as finding firewood." ”

“...... This is food, not firewood. ”

"Oh, it's food! I'll taste it. Without waiting for Ye Xi's reaction, he quickly pulled a few leaves and stuffed them into his mouth.

“...... It's the smell of leaves. The cone chewed on the leaves, and after eating, he commented, "It's not very tasty." ”

Ye Xi was amused: "It's not like this!"

didn't want to stay in the mountains anymore, Ye Xi walked over and brought the bird's nest back from the cone very easily, took out one from it and stuffed it into his hand, "Okay, I'll give you one to buy the travel expenses, I'll go first." As he spoke, he walked down the mountain.

"Then how do you eat these leaves?" shouted the cone from behind.

"We'll find out later......" Ye Xi replied from afar.

Back at the foot of the mountain, Ye Xi put his things away and carried a few strips of dried meat to find a middle-aged man in the cave who was making stone tools.

This uncle's name is Ligan, and he is a craftsman in the tribe, and he is a good hand at making stone tools and carpentry.

"Uncle Li, do you still have work on your hands later? ”

Ligan's hands were full of white stone powder, and when he saw that it was Ye Xi, he put down the stone tool in his hand and smiled: "It's good when I finish this in my hand, do you have anything you want me to do?"

"Yes, I want to make ......" Ye Xi described to him in detail what he wanted the utensils to look like.

Li Gan nodded after listening: "No problem, these are very simple." ”

"By the way, Uncle Li, this is a reward, don't you see enough. Ye Xi handed over a few strips of jerky.

"No need!" he waved his hand hurriedly, "I don't need to pay for making such a small thing." ”

Since the successful fetch of water, the attitude of the people in the tribe has changed and become more enthusiastic about him.

"Take it. Ye Xi insisted, "If you don't accept it, I'll find someone else to do it." ”

Although Uncle Li has good skills in making stone tools, he is just an ordinary person, and he does not receive much food every day, and he mainly earns food by helping people make stone tools, and it is impossible for him to take advantage of him.

Ligan was a little moved, but he couldn't refuse, so he had to accept it: "...... All right. ”

However, he also thought in his heart that he must do better and satisfy Ye Xi later.

Evening.

Cangpan, cone, Yong and Li Tu gathered together, preparing dinner as usual.

They lit a bonfire and skillfully grilled the skewered meat on it.

Ye Xi asked Cangpan to help him regenerate a fire next to him.

The warehouse asked curiously, "Why do you want to regenerate a bunch?"

Ye Xi said mysteriously: "I'll make some special food tonight." After more than half a month of continuous barbecue, he finally got tired of eating, and today he even ran to the mountains to find ingredients by himself, wanting to improve his food.

When they heard this, they immediately became curious, what kind of special food, is it delicious?

Cone guessed that it couldn't be the leaves, and when he thought about it, he suddenly lost interest. The leaves won't taste good no matter how you do them!, he thought, firmly.

Ye Xi went back to the cave and brought a large number of things, and returned to the campfire under their strange gaze.

Ye Xi first took out a flat-bottomed stone pot from it, and when he saw that the fire was burning enough, he put the flat-bottomed stone pot on the fire.

He put the wooden cutting board on the ground, borrowed Yong's bone knife, and chopped the cleaned leaves into minced pieces, then took a large bowl, broke all the eggs he had beaten today, and stirred the egg mixture with chopsticks.

The eggs are not small, each one is only a little smaller than the egg, and the bowl is full when they are all beaten in.

After all the eggs are stirred, Ye Xi adds a little water to it, which can make the fried egg more tender and delicious, and then put all the chopped leaves into a large bowl and stir with the egg mixture.

"What kind of leaf is this?" Looking at Ye Xi's movements, the cone couldn't help but ask.

"Toon. Ye Xi didn't raise his head.

After doing this, Ye Xi carefully took out a small wooden jar.

Cang Pan and Yong were shocked when they saw Ye Xi's movements, could this be......

Opening the wooden jar box, which was white with brown crystals, Ye Xi gently shook the wooden jar and sprinkled a little in the egg mixture.

"Sure enough, it's salt, it's such a luxury. Yong sighed.

Salt is too precious for the Tushan tribe. Usually they couldn't help it, so they would put a small spoonful, but they didn't expect Ye Xi to be willing to put salt this time.

Ye Xi also didn't have salt originally, because he had a merit in getting water last time, Wu privately gave him an extra small jar of salt as a reward.

Of course, it is said to be a small can, but in fact there is about a spoonful in it.

After staying for so long, Ye Xi also knew how scarce salt was, so he was usually reluctant to use it. But after eating the barbecue without salt for more than half a month, Ye Xi couldn't stand it anymore, so he decided to be extravagant today and sprinkle some salt.

At this time, the stone pot was almost hot, Ye Xi threw in a piece of fatty meat, and kept stir-frying the fatty meat.

After a while, a lot of oil came out of the fat meat, and when the fat meat couldn't be refined into oil, Ye Xi took out the fat that had become crispy.

At this time, the stone pot was already covered with a layer of yellow oil, and it was constantly bubbling with aroma.

Ye Xi poured all the egg mixture mixed with the chopped toon leaves into the pot.

As soon as the egg liquid comes into contact with the oil, it turns golden brown and bursts into an enticing aroma.

The bonfire here is not easy to control the heat, Ye Xi holds the handle of the stone pot, when the flame is strong, he takes the stone pot away a little, and when the flame is weak, he gets closer to the fire.

"It smells so good!" I don't know when there was a circle of people around.

The tribesmen, who had already finished eating the barbecue and were idle and bored, saw that it seemed that new food was being tossed here, and they all gathered around curiously.

"Let's go, this is what Ye Xi made for us, you go aside. "Yong, they are busy driving people away.

"Hehe, let's take a look, let's see!"

"Hmph, then I can only look at it. Yong said reluctantly.

The eggs become golden and fragrant, intertwined with the red-green toon buds inside, making it look very attractive.

Seeing that it was almost fried, Ye Xi extinguished the fire and picked up the toon omelet from the pot with chopsticks.

"It's made of two things made of branches, it looks so flexible!" someone whispered around.

A total of six wooden bowls were made, one for each of them, and Ye Xi divided the toon omelette into six equal parts, put it in the bowl and handed it to them.

Then each person is given a pair of chopsticks.

"This ...... Give it to us, we can use our hands!" "The people in the tribe generally eat barbecue directly with their hands, and they are not used to using chopsticks.

"It's all done, let's give it a try. ”

They held bowls and chopsticks in their hands, feeling that they couldn't eat, especially Litu's child Tao, who was only five years old and looked more clumsy than others with chopsticks.

Kurapan controlled the chopsticks and held the fried egg and took a bite.

"It's delicious!" said Kura's eyes lit up.

The surrounding people swallowed.

"It looks really delicious!"

"yes, yes, I seem to be hungry. ”

"Didn't you just eat a piece of barbecue?"

"I don't know, I'm hungry. ”

Yong Cangpan heard what the people around them said, and proudly ate the toon omelette in the bowl, deliberately eating it soundly.

Litu's child Tao was also very naughty, and deliberately said loudly: "Brother Ye Xi, what you make is delicious, it tastes so delicious!"

"Yes, it looks good, I didn't expect it to taste even better!" said to the cang, but the voice was so loud that the people around him could hear it clearly.

"Yes, yes, it's just too little, and I can't even eat it all at once. The warehouse also chimed in.

"I know where Ye Xi got this thing, I'll go tomorrow to find more bird eggs, and what kind of leaves, make more tomorrow, and eat to your heart's content!"

The people around them pricked up their ears to know where they got it, but they didn't say anything.

Just kidding, if you let them know, no matter how many leaves the tree has, it will be bald!

After eating the toon omelette and drinking a sip of water, this life is really happy!
