Chapter 043 Rare Salt
Seven or eight hairy people have been unceremoniously crowded around the bonfire for a long time, rummaging through the ground to find Gu Yi and stuffing the food scraps they have thrown into their big mouths, watching them stuff the bare crab shells into their mouths and chewing sweetly, although the grilled fish and prawns inserted by the bonfire are salivating, but they dare not move, only take the black and white big eyes to constantly turn between the fish and Gu Yi.
Gu Yi understood that they were afraid that they had killed a group of black-toothed thieves, and among the hairy people who behaved closer to animals, they must also be respectful of the strong, and the previous war was recognized by them, if they didn't allow it, they wouldn't dare to touch the food of their "strong" casually.
Bai Min and Rou Servant sat down silently around the bonfire, Gu Yi sighed, and asked Niu Sha, Ge Qiao, and Little Dumb to go and stew the rice and grains that had not been used up before, and got up to put a wooden stick with a gun blade, went to the river to poke dozens of big fish, washed and peeled them, and inserted them on the branches of the trees to roast on the fire.
But a group of hungry people could wait for the big fish to be fully cooked, and they were restless for a while by the tempting oil and fragrance of the grilled fish, and they couldn't bear to grab the half-cooked fish meat and chew it, obviously because they were hungry.
The small piece of brine crystal the size of a fist just now, the little salt foam filtered out was not enough to grill the fish, Gu Yi simply put it directly in a copper dish for them to take the grilled fish meat and dip it as a material to eat, so that it could be a little salty.
A group of people didn't know what the white powder Gu Yi took out was, so they just hugged the roasted half-cooked fish and gobbled it up, until Gu Yi grabbed a fish and dipped it in salt foam, and signaled them to eat it, they understood, and curiously dipped some into their mouths.
Both the servants and the hairy people shouted in surprise, apparently recognizing what the white powder was.
But to Gu Yi's surprise, the rough and barbaric Rou Servant and the Mao people did not compete, but stepped forward one by one very well, grabbed a small pinch of salt foam directly from the copper dish and poured it into his mouth, and immediately let go of the cherished fingers that were licking and sucking the salt, and honestly let the companions behind him come up to eat salt.
After eating the salt, the servants and the hairy people, looking at the copper dish, looked at the look of the copper dish, as if they were looking at a holy object, and their attitude towards Gu Yi became much more deferential and respectful, although they still looked at the copper dish containing the salt foam longingly, but they never came up to grab the salt foam again.
"Eat, eat, there's not much anyway!"
Gu Yi waved his hand indifferently, the salt foam in the copper dish was grabbed by the dirty paws of the servants and the hairy people, and he would not eat it again if he was killed, and the rest was wasted.
But the barbarians and the hairy people all shook their heads honestly, and while stuffing the bloody fish meat into their mouths, they looked at the copper dish containing salt, and they were very stingy with the rich man's family to eat a salted fish for three years, and only after eating two bowls of rice did they have a glimpse of the salted fish.
"Uncle... Ancient?"
Bai Min, who seemed to be the leader, pinched a small pinch of salt foam and put it in his mouth to taste it, and said in surprise: "This is halocrystal?"
Gu Yi was inexplicable, these Bai Min were the only people he had come into contact with since he came to this world and looked like civilized people, so he hadn't even eaten salt, right?
Those walking corpse-like mine subordinates can't communicate, and the mine guards only use tung oil iron whips to communicate with him, and it's good that the cattle and the people don't work hard when they meet.
The little mute can't speak, Niu Sha is a wandering boy, although Ge Qiao looks like a little adult, but after all, he is just an eight-year-old child, the old man will give him a discount on his legs when he meets, and the hairy people will not do anything other than howl like an orangutan, although the soft servant can say two sentences, but the poor vocabulary is compared with the hairy people...
So all of them are left, and these white people who look white and pure, Si Swenwen, and are very in line with Gu Yi's aesthetics, I heard that they were still soldiers before they were arrested in the [bluestone mine] mine camp, so they can be more knowledgeable, right?
He also expected to learn some information about this world from them, but he didn't expect that he didn't even know salt, so what should he do.
"I didn't expect that in this ferocious place, I could also see the legendary 'Ice Halo Snow Crystal' that only nobles deserve, and I would like to worship Xie Taibogu's generosity, and actually give such a treasure to our vulgar people to enjoy!"
The leader of the Bai people, who called himself "Pinhui", put down the food in his hand, carefully cleaned the oil stains on his lips with his sleeves, wiped his hands on the corners of his clothes, stood up and hugged his hands in a proper manner, raised his head high, and bowed 90 degrees to Gu Yi.
Gu Yi, who was caught off guard, was made by the other party's grand etiquette and hurriedly stood up, and he didn't know what kind of salute he should do, so he had to return the salute with a strange imitation of Pinfu awkwardly.
Seeing Gu Yi return the salute, Pin Fu grinned, bowed his waist and sank again, straightened up and said thank you, took the copper dish in front of Gu Yi and pinched a small pinch of salt foam in the left palm of each of his companions.
Seeing that the pin respectfully sent back the copper dish with a lot of salt foam left, and put it on the stone in front of him, Gu Yi realized that he might have neglected something, he didn't take these salt foam as a thing, judging from the attitude of the soft servants, the Mao people and the white people, salt is probably a very precious and rare item for them, the aborigines.
When Gu Yi was thinking, the people had already stuffed everything that could satisfy their stomachs into their stomachs, and began to fall asleep one by one involuntarily by the bonfire, even those white people.
Since yesterday, these people have experienced a series of vicious fights, exhausted their physical strength, and suffered a lot of injuries, and as soon as they filled their stomachs, they fell into the food trap, so that Gu Yi, who wanted to talk to them, was not depressed.
"Sleep!"
Gu Yi turned around and entered the wooden shed, turned over and lay on the creaking Chase bunk, sighed comfortably, and soon fell asleep, what a busy day.
Sanxiao, who looked at each other, you look at me, I look at you, Ge Qiao also yawned, and walked back to his room in the iron courtyard with the back of his head.
Only the little mute was left to look east and west, guarding the bonfire and not knowing what to do, suddenly a hairy man next to him muttered something and turned over, the hairy big paw almost put on him, the frightened little mute jumped up with a thrill, and screamed softly, and his voice was very tactful and tender.
