This terrain belongs to the plains, and there is still a lot of distance from the mountains, and there is no animal meat to be hunted, but Kun catches a hare, and the mountains shoot down a lone duck with three archers.

So many people are obviously not enough, and it can only be said that talking is better than nothing.

Fortunately, it was only the first day, and the rations on my body were quite sufficient. Dashan took some air-dried meat strips and baked naan made of acorn flour and came out, and Kun took a piece of animal leg meat that he hunted yesterday and left it overnight, it was not fresh, but the weather turned cold, and it was not bad, so he roasted it on the fire and could eat to his heart's content.

When you go out, you should maintain sufficient physical strength, and unless you really can't hunt anything to eat, you won't let yourself go hungry.

They didn't know that Xu Yin was sharing the meat of the water beast, and when they saw it, they had something to eat, and they smelled very fragrant, and they were very happy: "Thank you, Dawu!" ”

The charcoal-grilled fish is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, which makes the taste buds of the four people in Dashan excited:

"What kind of meat is this? It's so delicious! ”

"I've never eaten meat so good."

"I haven't eaten either."

Ah Lie, Ah Chun, and Ah Xia were dumbfounded: Are you acting Dashan? It's too good, isn't it? But Kun and they also eat, they won't follow the mountain and pretend, right?

When a piece of fish meat was torn off, it accidentally fell on his hollow clothes, Xu Yin picked it up and ate it herself, and nodded with satisfaction: "It's okay, the craftsmanship is not alive." ”

Seeing that Ah Lie was still stunned, she asked casually, "Aren't you hungry?" Come and eat. ”

“……”

The three of them glanced at each other: Did the Great Witch eat it just now? Why didn't she throw up?

Suspiciously, they took the fish and meat that Xu Yin gave them, and took a small bite carefully, and in the next second, the three of them stared at them in disbelief: This is water beast meat? No kidding, right? How can there be such delicious water beast meat?

Unconsciously, he asked the confusion in his heart: "Da Wu, why is your roasted water beast meat so delicious?" ”

"Poof!" Dashan almost squirted the fish meat in his mouth, "What? Is this water beast meat? ”

Kun and the others were also stunned.

Ah Lie and the three of them looked complicated: It turns out that you don't know that this is water beast meat, no wonder you take it and eat it.

Xu Yin ate half of the fish and was almost full, and saw that they had hunted a rabbit and a wild duck, and set out to make it called Flower Rabbit and Flower Duck.

Near the river, the mud was dug up, the rabbits and ducks were cleaned, salted, spiced, wrapped in large leaves of wild vegetables and leaves, and then wrapped in mud and buried in the campfire.

People who are still discussing the deliciousness of grilled fish: "......"

Can this still be eaten?

Xu Yin took a branch to the bonfire and answered them why the fish she grilled was not bitter:

"The cleaned fish must be fragrant when you eat it, you feel bitter, most of them are because you have broken the bitter gall. And the fish belly intestines and fish scales have not been cleaned? ”

Looking at their blank looks, you can know that it must be as she said - they didn't clean up before eating the fish, and even broke the bitter gall, can it not be bitter?

After listening to Dawu's explanation, everyone suddenly realized: It turns out that eating water beast meat is so particular? It turns out that the water beast meat itself is not unpalatable, but it is unpalatable because they have not handled it well?

"Then I'll go catch some edible water beasts and come back." Alie stood up.

He was worried that the meat of the beast made into mud by the great witch would not be able to eat, so he took advantage of the fact that the sky was not completely dark, and then went to catch some water beasts and come back, roast and eat. I've eaten grilled fish, but I'm not interested in other meats.

Xu Yin glanced at him with a smile: "Let's try the flower series first, if you want to eat grilled fish, you will have more forks on the road tomorrow." ”

Ah Lie had no choice but to sit back and look at the mountain beside him: Can you eat mud dumplings? No matter how hungry I was, I didn't think about eating mud before.

Dashan was not as worried as he was: "Believe in Dawu." ”

“……”

It's useless to believe in it, don't cry when you eat mud later.

Xu Yin felt that it was almost enough, and dug out the two mud balls.

Ah Lie closed his eyes in despair: he was really going to eat mud.

In the next second, he heard a few "knocks", and when he opened his eyes, Dawu cracked the two mud balls, and a domineering fragrance different from the grilled fish came to his nose.

"Come, knock the mud off together, and you'll be able to eat it."

Everyone rushed to knock up the dried mud.

The more mud you knock down, the stronger the fragrance.

When they were knocked clean, the vegetable leaves and leaves wrapped around the vines were untied, revealing the fat rabbit meat and duck meat, and everyone was stunned:

"The flesh in the mud ball is intact?"

"It smells so good!"

"It smells so good!"

It was more fragrant than grilled fish, so fragrant that their saliva was dripping.

"Let's eat!"

Xu Yin took a stone knife and made a few cuts to make it easier for everyone to tear by hand.

She took a duck wing herself, but was stuffed with a rabbit leg by Ah Chun.

"I've got enough, you can divide it."

Feast on everyone.

After three days, catch edible fish when rushing, go ashore to rest, hunt all kinds of small animal meat that can be called flower series, and the food every night is grilled fish + flower series, and the group of people eat full of oil.

Going downstream, there were more and more edible fish, and they couldn't finish eating, so Xu Yin taught them to dry salted fish.

Anyway, there is a lot of salt to trade on the back, take a little bit out of the pickled fish, and go back to trade the salted fish.

Kun didn't have so much salt at hand, so Xu Yin said: "You can use the salt, just go back and send some fish to our tribe, and then we will take the salt and exchange it for fish with you." ”

Such a good thing?

Eating fish, though less, is much easier than salt, and the deal is clearly earned by them.

"Thank you, Great Witch! When you go back, we'll be sure to send you a lot of ...... Fish. ”

They also changed their voices and shouted about fish, and those who eat people are still called water beasts, and those that can be eaten by humans are called fish.

In this way, all the way forward, all the way to spearfish, all the way to grill fish to make flower beast meat to eat, than to walk a simple hunt and rest.

However, on the sixth day, the river diverged, and the tributaries to the trading point gradually narrowed, and there was a reef on the east and west of the riverbed.

The trading site is actually a central tribe that travels from south to north.

A little more developed than other tribes, before the winter, the surrounding small tribes are worried that they will not survive the winter, so they will take some extra materials over and exchange them for something that the tribe does not have. After coming and going, such a bazaar was formed.

"Great Witch, put this on."

Before entering the central tribe, Ah Chun took out the pheasant feather masks prepared in advance and gave one to each person.

The people of the cross-river tribe are also prepared.

After putting it on, everyone's faces were blocked by colorful pheasant feathers, and if they were not familiar with each other, they couldn't recognize who was who with their eyes alone.

There were twenty-four people in their line, each with a large rattan basket on their shoulders, and a lot of strange things in their hands, walking together, chatting a few words from time to time, in the eyes of others, so many people, so many materials, I am afraid that a big tribe sent a trading team.
