20 slate barbecue
Everyone squatted there and watched for a long time.
Yao Hu pointed to the house and looked at Yao Xiaoqing, "This is like a cave," and pointed to the wall, "This can stop the giant bear and prevent them from entering the cave, right?" ”
"yes, that's what it means."
Yaohu thought for a while, looked at the mountain and Dashi, "What do you think of what Xiaoqing said?" ”
After Yaohu said that, Dashi and a few people understood what the house and the wall were for, looking at the wall that was much higher than the house, and also felt that it could resist other tribes.
Shan said: "Chief, Xiaoqing is the one chosen by the gods, and we listen to Xiaoqing." ”
After hearing this, Yaohu stood up and looked at everyone, "Okay, let's listen to Xiaoqing and build a house and a wall." ”
Yao Xiaoqing looked at them, "Father, we don't have food, we can't all build houses at home, we have to allocate the hunting manpower." Father, how do you think the manpower should be distributed? ”
Yaohu looked at everyone and said, "Mu Feng, Yi, Niu, continue to hunt, Hua, Shanami, and Yun Amu collect wild vegetables, look for duck eggs and wild bird eggs, and prepare food." Dashi, Shan, Uncle Shui, and Uncle Worm built a house with Xiaoqing at home. Everyone practiced archery skills at night. ”
"Yes, Chief." Everyone responded in unison.
Yaohu said loudly: "Come, let's first pick up the goatskin, roast the meat and store it." ”
"Yes." Everyone got up and down.
Yu and Shan peeled the sheepskin, Uncle Shui and Uncle Worm disemboweled the wild boar, took out the internal organs, and left the pig heart, pig liver, and the rest for Shan Eminem and Yun Emu to take and throw away.
"Mountain Eminem," Yao Xiaoqing hurriedly stopped the two. Shan Eminem looked at her, "Xiaoqing, these things can't be eaten. ”
Yao Xiaoqing pointed to the pile of internal organs, "The large intestine and small intestine can be eaten after washing, pork belly and small belly, pig lungs, can be eaten." Plate oil and flower oil can be refined. ”
"You can eat these things, too!" Shan Emu and Yun Emu both laughed, "Xiaoqing, you teach us, what a pity we throw away what we can eat!" ”
Yao Xiaoqing smiled and nodded, "Okay, let's take these to the side of the ditch, light a bonfire there, and wash things." ”
There were no baskets and basins to hold the internal organs, so Yao Xiaoqing had to transcribe the back basket out, and said to Yao Hu and Dashi, who were watching Mu Feng peel their skins: "Father, hurry up and dig a few pots and buckets out!" ”
Yaohu nodded happily, "Good, good!" Let's dig it. ”
The three of them lit a pile of firewood by the ditch, and Yao Xiaoqing took the two of them to start cleaning the internal organs.
The large intestine and small intestine were washed several times, rubbed with plant ash twice, and put them in the back basket.
Pig lungs are filled with water, rubbed and cleaned repeatedly, until there is no blood in sight, the pork belly and small belly are scraped and cleaned and put together with the large and small intestines, and the earthen pot is boiled twice and the water will not have a little peculiar smell.
The flower oil and plate oil were washed, but he still had to wait for the earthen pot, Yao Xiaoqing began to pray that the earthen pot would not burn out, otherwise it would be in vain
Yun Emu and Shan Emu learned to wash it, and after the goat was disemboweled, they took the internal organs to the ditch to wash them.
Shui Bo and Worm Bo spread the skin with wooden sticks and leaned against the cliff wall and put it away, Mu Feng and Yu cut off the fat and put it aside, and put the fine meat on the stone slab, and raised a fire under the stone slab and began to roast the meat strips.
Yao Xiaoqing knew that except for the bag of salt in his bag, there was no salt in the tribe at present, and only by storing meat in this way could it avoid rotting.
Twice a year, there is a barter in Qiushan, where people use a sheep's roasted jerky or five sheepskins to get a bamboo tube full of impurities of salt in the Wuxian tribe.
For small tribes such as the Yaoshan tribe, salt is a very precious thing, and when there is a shortage of salt, they will eat raw meat and drink the blood of prey to replenish the salt needed by the body.
Yao Xiaoqing felt that there must be a salt mine where the Wuxian tribe lived, but he didn't know if it was rock salt or natural salt brine underground? If it's rock salt, can you find it somewhere else?
Yao Xiaoqing suddenly thought of the gallic that he had eaten in the mountains before, and everyone called it the salt tree again, because the fruit had a layer of white on it, and it also had a salty taste. The old people in the village said that they used to have no money to buy salt, so they would pick gallnut and cook it home in winter.
It's spring, and those gallic nuts at the foot of the mountain can't get salt!
There is another way, which is to see where those animals lick, where there will be salt, this can only be noticed by Mu Feng.
Yao Xiaoqing sat on the stone and saw the meat sizzling on the stone slab, and the smell of meat went straight to his nose. Thinking of the barbecue powder in the bag, I took half of the small intestine out of the back basket, blanched it twice in a small iron pot, and cut it into an inch long section. I went out and took a piece of pork belly and cut it into thin slices with a dagger, put it in a wok, opened the bag and took out the barbecue powder, and saw the small bag of chili noodles and the bag of pumpkin seeds.
Yao Xiaoqing took it out together, opened it and took a look, and found that those pumpkin seeds were actually raw, and there were chili seeds in the chili powder.
Yao Xiaoqing was so overjoyed that she almost laughed out loud, and hurriedly covered her mouth and sat on the skin. Looking at the things in her hand, she thought: the pumpkin is not low after planting, and the chili pepper is a good thing for a person like her who is used to eating spicy food.
Yaya lay on the skin and looked at her covering her mouth stupidly, "Qinggu, did your father give you something delicious?" ”
Yao Xiaoqing rubbed her yellow hair and said with a smile: "No, did your father give you something to eat?" ”
Yaya shook her head, "I have an uncle, but no father." ”
Yao Xiaoqing gently rubbed her, "Aunt Qing gave you something delicious, okay?" ”
Yaya nodded happily, "Hmm! ”
Yao Xiaoqing took out a few pieces of toffee from the bag, peeled off the candy paper and put it in her mouth, the taste of toffee made Yaya squint her eyes with satisfaction, "As sweet as honey." ”
As he spoke, he got up, took half of the toffee in his mouth and put it in the mouth of the flower guarding the fire, and looked at her with a smile, "Mother, it's as sweet as honey, Qinggu gave it." ”
Hua smiled and kissed her and said to her, "Hmm! Honey-like sweetness. ”
Yao Xiaoqing gave the two pieces in his hand to Yaya, and said with a smile: "Yaya eats honey." ”
Yaya took it, kissed Yao Xiaoqing on the face, and happily fell on the leather and rolled twice.
Looking at her happy appearance, Yao Xiaoqing's heart was a little sour. She put the pumpkin seeds and chili powder back in her bag, picked up the pot and walked out with the barbecue powder.
Mu Feng picked up a strip of roasted meat and handed it to her, "Xiaoqing, give it to you." ”
Yao Xiaoqing shook his head and put the meat in the pot in front of him, "I'll roast the meat for you to eat." ”
"Barbecue, I'm just grilling!" Mu Feng looked at the meat slices and small intestines in the pot in confusion.
"You'll find out later." Yao Xiaoqing smiled and took a pair of bamboo chopsticks sharpened from a large stone, and sandwiched the pork belly and small intestine and placed them on the stone slab.
