Chapter Seventy-Eight: Chopsticks
"Oracle, this ...... It's all ...... They...... Come up...... Target? ”
For a while, Shui Yun stammered when he spoke, to say that although many things in the Teng Snake Tribe had given Shui Yun a lot of shock, many of them were personally involved in him, such as fishing nets, the Teng Snake Tribe has never shown it to outsiders.
It was the first time they had seen each other at noon, and they didn't expect that after only half a day, a group of half-grown children would be able to bring it back, and the harvest in their tribe would be nearly four or five days.
You must know that in this tribe, the Blackwater tribe pays more attention to fishing, which is not only related to their totem, but also because the resources are better, the surrounding water network is more complicated, and the tribe is also built next to the river, the river is wider than the general tribe, and the fishery resources are relatively a little more.
But even so, relying on the conventional way, it is barely enough to fill the stomach, and the main thing is to get more food through hunting.
If they can send their children out like Teng Snake and get so many things back, then it is estimated that there is no need for hunting.
However, Song Xuan also heard the inside information when he came in, there is also some moisture in it, among which the big fish and small fish naturally can't be faked, because such a big fish is put into the Teng Snake, as long as it is caught, it will generally be solved in time, because where it is raised, it will generally get thinner and thinner.
As for those small fish of about half a catty, it is already a lucky component to be caught, even if the fishing nets are slightly denser than at that time, the number is not much, and these small fish are also Teng Snake Tribe, and now they can't look down on it, even if they are caught in the past, they are either directly put back into the river, and if they look pleasing to the eye, they will be thrown into the nearby pits.
So whether it is a big fish or a small fish, there is not much inventory in the tribe, but four or five catties of fish is different, Shi Shui is also in this hands, in order to appear that the fish are more abundant, but also let Shi Pi take people secretly cast a net in the fence, and get dozens of catties.
Although there is a slight suspicion of cheating, most of them are still brought up, and the children of the Blackwater Tribe are also involved, among which the use of fishing nets is still very fast, with a little guidance, there is no big problem, and the children of the Blackwater Tribe are better than those of the Teng Snake Tribe, and they are like fish in water after going down.
However, Song Xuan will not be stupid to come and expose him, the more there are, the greater the shock to Shui Yun and them, and the easier it will be to tie them up, no matter whether they are willing or unwilling to join Teng Snake now, but as long as they see the strength of Teng Snake, I believe that even if there is a chance in the future, few people will be thinking about going back to rebuild the tribe.
It is not difficult to keep these dozens of people for the current Teng Snake, as long as they use force, they use their weapons, it is difficult to cause any threat to the Teng Snake, but keeping their hearts is the most important thing, and now they have become a family and move towards a better direction together, which is the best result.
When eating big fish at night, Song Xuan also intended to let the people of the Blackwater tribe eat more, such a big fish, the Teng Snake tribe is not tired of eating, but it can often be tasted, it can only be regarded as a slightly rare thing, and the taste of big fish and small fish is not much different, the main thing to eat is a freshness, and eating too much is actually just like that.
But they are not like that for Shui Yun, the fish are in the Black Water Tribe, which is the food given to them by the gods, so even if they eat it, they eat it with respect, not like the people who eat the sea plug nonsense, all to fill their stomachs.
The spiritual attributes attached to this big fish are even stronger, although it is still eaten normally, but the sense of ritual is indeed much stronger.
"Woo-hey!"
After the distribution, everyone shouted before they started eating.
However, eating in Teng Snake is not as relaxed as you are in your own tribe, although there are some environmental factors in this, but the most important thing is that Song Xuan sent everyone a pair of torturous things - chopsticks.
Chopsticks have also been popularized in Teng Snake for a long time, and Song Xuan began to take the lead in using them when he first came.
More people still use the most primitive way, pinching and stuffing their mouths with their hands, Song Xuan definitely can't stand this kind of braised egg-style eating method.
The first time when Teng Snake was eating, he broke two branches from the surrounding trees, and Teng Snake also learned from Song Xuan, like the stone was the first batch, but at first everyone was not proficient, pretending to poke it for a long time, and finally used it as a stick.
It was not until a large number of pottery was burned in the tribe that this situation changed, and the pots began to be used on a large scale, and there was more soup and water, especially some fish, which was relatively easy to break, and it was not easy to eat with hands.
If you want to eat, you either take the wood into your hand, or drink the soup and then enjoy it slowly, but these two ways don't seem to be very pleasant to eat, but it is Song Xuan's kind of chopsticks, eating a bite and drinking a mouthful of soup, it seems to be more enjoyable.
Song Xuan also pushed the boat along the river, taking advantage of this opportunity, semi-forcibly let everyone use chopsticks, although he usually didn't care about the way everyone ates, but watching them grasp it with their hands, it still feels a little bad.
If it was that kind of large piece of meat, it would be acceptable, after all, it seemed to be relatively heroic, but those minced meat were also held in his hand and sent to his mouth, which really made Song Xuan a little unbearable.
Fortunately, after the compulsion, it was soon implemented, and the chopsticks used were not the wood that was broken down casually before, but carefully selected, and then polished out, and it was naturally a lot easier to use, unless it was really not allowed in the wild conditions, everyone is now generally used to the life of chopsticks, and it is very convenient to take with them and eat a meal.
Everyone used it before the exchange conference, but no one seemed to notice, so they probably didn't see the difference between the two.
However, Shui Yun and they did understand it at once now, because they ate more porcelain at noon, it was not very obvious that the fish soup was stewed in the evening, and they saw that each of the people who Teng Snake was holding two wooden sticks, picking up the fish and sending it to their mouths.
After Song Xuan asked Shi Yan to distribute the chopsticks in the tribe to the people of the Heishui tribe, they also followed the customs, just like the people of Teng Snake, they wanted to use chopsticks to eat meat, but this was the first time they used it, how could they adapt to it so quickly.
Many people observed the Teng snake next to them for a long time, and they didn't even learn how to take it, and wanted to hold it directly with their hands, but when they saw that the Teng snake was eating more Sven, they thought about it and put their hands down, and struggled for a long time, and they didn't eat the last bite of meat, so they could only look at the fish in the bowl in a daze.
Song Xuan also ate very happily, today they caught two big crabs in Shipi, Song Xuan was burying his head in fighting with them, and after gnawing for a long time, he looked up and found that the things in the Shuiyun bowl on the side did not move much, seeing him holding chopsticks at a loss, Song Xuan remembered what chopsticks these people would use, and he was kind to do it.
But it doesn't seem that things are so bad, at least Shui Yun and they don't know how to use it, but they haven't put down the wooden stick in their hands.
Anyway, they have already joined the Teng Snake tribe, and chopsticks must be learned to use, which is also a matter of time, since it has been promoted now, it is impossible for Shui Yun to not learn it.
You must know that even if they are captives now, they are used to eating with chopsticks, and it is good to say to their own people, but when they treat the captives and everyone corrects their eating habits, they are not less polite.
However, for Shui Yun and them, Song Xuan was still quite polite, and hurriedly asked Teng Snake's people to teach the people of the Black Water Tribe around him how to use them, although they couldn't use them very skillfully at once, but after teaching them how to hold chopsticks, they could at least barely pick up the contents of the bowl into their mouths.
After a period of time, I believe that they will soon be able to learn, and then they will know the wonderful use of chopsticks.
Even with such a small episode, the whole meal was still relatively happy, and Teng Snake's two meals also left a very deep impression on them, although it was not particularly hearty, but the quality was indeed much better than what their own tribe had eaten before.
Especially the fish soup, although the fish is fished up from the river and then boiled in the water, the Black Water Tribe even has salt, it stands to reason that the taste should be similar, but the Teng Snake side is indeed obviously more delicious.
When some of them saw the mushrooms in the bowl, they realized that the umami seemed to have something to do with this thing, but the people who Teng Snake were also in the tribe, and they didn't see anyone going out to get what mushrooms, and the most important thing was that there were several kinds of mushrooms in them, which were no longer common in this season.
The recent heavy rain not only did not make the mushrooms in the mountains and forests grow wildly, but also disappeared a lot, and it is estimated that the heavy rain has destroyed the living environment of the mushrooms.
So even though everyone looked around two days ago, the quantity was not much, and the quality was not as good as before.
The people of the Blackwater tribe also live on this, so they are quite familiar with the habits of mushrooms, and it is very strange to see these kinds at this time, obviously it is not a common thing, but it can still be eaten here in Teng Snake, can Teng Snake still change the habits of mushrooms?
