Chapter 118: The First Bowl of White Rice
Although Mang still had considerable concerns in his heart, he should really think positively when he was speechless by the brute bull.
The climate in the Margins is quite harsh.
The rainy season is extremely cold and prone to frequent natural disasters.
In the dry season, there is often drought and little rainfall, and the vegetation is poor.
Large herbivores cannot be fed without enough pasture, and large beasts cannot be attracted if there are few herbivores.
This vicious cycle can only make things difficult for the tribes that live here.
It was precisely because he knew that it was difficult that Mang thought about hunting more prey before the weather reached its hottest.
Since Mu Bai refined salt, everyone has become accustomed to the habit of salting excess food and storing it.
Pickled foods have unsatisfactory taste and texture, and in today's weather conditions, even salted foods are prone to spoilage.
It seems that trading is also a good way to go.
But in the future, will they really be able to stay in a safe camp and get endless food, furs, and everything they need?
Mang had been worried since he left, and he was skeptical of this method.
Mu Bai did not express any opinion from beginning to end.
"Wu, we must leave immediately, we must let Mang see the effect of the transaction with his own eyes, otherwise he will not feel at ease."
The brute bull said it righteously and harshly.
Mu Bai was secretly amused in his heart.
Human beings' exploration and thirst for the unknown is almost an innate instinct.
After the brute bull has broadened his horizons, his ambitions have also swelled.
"Okay, don't go too far, now that the jerky is not easy to store, let's come back with some fur and animal bones first. The most important thing is to let other tribes know about the existence of our tribe, know that we have these good things, and then change the jerky when the weather is cold. ”
Mu Bai thought about his plan and was relieved.
In fact, she also admits that Mang's concerns are quite reasonable.
Even if the tribe's top combat power is dispatched to lead the elite team to become a caravan that goes out to trade, but the weak eat the strong on the plain, and it is not a place to be reasonable.
It is not impossible to be robbed.
In case they are targeted by powerful tribes, their entire tribe is not yet strong enough to sit back and relax.
Ay......
In the end, the time left for her development is too short!
Strong on solid foundations.
It seems that the pace of planting and breeding should be accelerated!
"Witch, witch! Check it out! ”
Mu Bai was thinking about how to adjust the industrial structure of the tribe, when he saw Qingwu running over in a hurry.
The first thing that caught everyone's attention was the thing he was holding in his hand.
A round ball encased in green leaves, the size of an adult's head.
And as soon as I got closer, there was a fresh fragrance!
"What's this?"
The brute cow, who was still bargaining with Wuyuan and wanted to bring more things out, hadn't left yet, and was immediately attracted by that thing.
"Why does it smell so good?"
Mu Bai was stunned!
She was so familiar with this scent, and how many times she dreamed of it at midnight since she came here.
The fragrance in the dream, like a hook, made her saliva flow out.
Are you dreaming?
Mu Bai was a little confused.
"Wu, look, what you can eat, is it the rice you said?"
Qingwu's cheerful shout pulled Mu Bai's mind back, and he finally saw what he brought.
"Have you roasted it over fire?"
Looking at the small particles of the small half-pottery bowl that were black and not slippery, Mu Bai looked surprised.
That's too far from what she remembers, isn't it? What can be seen?
"Hehe, I tried it just now, although it was blackened, it was fragrant!"
Qingwu scratched his head, although there was an element of embarrassment, but the little pride couldn't be hidden!
As he spoke, he opened the big ball in his hand and put it in front of Mu Bai.
Manniu and Wuyuan had already squeezed over, and several people and their heads were all together.
Not to mention, Mu Bai is also quite curious.
It was the first time she had seen rice with white flowers, and it grew directly in the fruit!
There are no heavy ears of rice, nor are they wrapped in chaff.
The grains of rice with white flowers, like melon seeds, grow directly together, but they are wrapped in a round and large fruit.
The fruit is somewhat similar in appearance to a coconut, but the skin is not hard.
Qingwu directly got started, and the rice grains were exposed as soon as he picked it up.
It's just that it may not be ripe yet, and the rice grains inside are still a little soft.
"It's woody, it doesn't smell good!"
Wu Yuan had already taken out a handful and stuffed it into his mouth, smacking his mouth a few times, and his interest was lacking.
The wild cow is much more direct, and he gnaws on the roasted in a pottery bowl.
"It's fragrant, it's really fragrant."
And then it was put down.
For him, who only eats meat, this thing just smells fragrant and tastes crunchy.
Only Mu Bai took a handful of roasted black rice grains and chewed slowly, for fear of missing any changes.
"It's rice, it's really rice!"
In addition to the fact that the appearance is very different, the peeled rice grains are exactly the same, and the taste is also the same.
As a native of the south, Mu Bai has an inexplicable attachment to rice.
It has been eaten every day since I was a child, but the only food that I haven't eaten is it.
God knows how much she missed it during this time!
Ignoring other people's reactions, Mu Bai went to take out the clay pot as soon as possible, took out the rice grains that were not yet ripe and put them into the pot.
Carefully simmer over low heat with water.
Mu Bai had eaten a lot of rice before, but it was the first time he had cooked it by himself.
Moreover, it is still in the most primitive state, without any tools to help.
In order to be able to eat a bowl of white rice, she even used her aura.
Release a thin layer and carefully wrap the pot before setting it up on the fire to cook.
Cooking rice without a rice cooker is really a technical job, it is easy to burn when the fire is big, and it is not cooked when the fire is small.
"Wu, what are you doing here? Leave me alone? Wu Yuan saw that Mu Bai was busy with work, and he was embarrassed to sit.
But I want to help, but I can't do it.
"Don't, you better go to Qingwu to pull some vegetables, I'm going to show off my skills later!"
Although he is a person who has never cooked before, the atmosphere is baked here at this time, and it is a bit unreasonable not to cook.
Mu Bai put the clay pot on his waist with both hands, and got carried away rarely.
"Good, good!"
Originally, everyone admired Wu's ability to throw himself to the ground, and now he is showing off his skills by Wu himself, which must be even more amazing!
As soon as Mu Bai's words fell, all the people in the Hula Cave ran out.
Now it was Mu Bai's turn to scratch his head.
But the cruel words have been said, I have eaten pork and seen pigs run, but I am not afraid.
Frying, stewing, frying and boiling are all busy.
She fried a green vegetable with animal meat in oil, and then made a dish of pork back to the pot, plus a soup of poultry eggs and meatballs.
When two dishes and one soup are put on the table, the whole cave is covered with a diffuse aroma.
"Eat, try my craft!"
