Chapter 263: First Taste of Rice
Seeing that the cattle of his tribe came to Teng Snake's side and pulled a strange device to turn the soil out, Niu He was also very curious.
In the cattle tribe, these animals are also kept as meat to eat, at most occasionally move out to pull goods, but this kind of life in the tribe is not much, at most in the autumn women pick more fruit will be pulled, usually still as a treasure to watch.
Most of the plows and shovels in the tribe are now made of bronze, and this kind of secret naturally cannot be easily revealed, although seeing the curiosity in the eyes of Niu He and the others, Song Xuan only took them around Tiansi, and they can't touch this kind of large-scale reclamation for the time being, so it's good to have a general understanding.
Even if they returned to the tribe, the people of the two tribes had not recovered from the impact of the huge gap, but now what they saw was only a part of the tribe, and the core pottery and salt naturally did not take them to visit, let alone the bronze Teng snake that they had not yet figured out.
Staying in the room, the two of them soon smelled a faint fragrance, which was completely different from the broth they usually ate, but there was already too much going on on Teng Snake's side, and the two of them didn't pay much attention to it.
There is not much rice left in the tribe, but Song Xuan still asked Shi Yan to make some porridge and rice, since he intends to promote it, then let them all taste it, of course, Xi is not used to saying otherwise, and Song Xuan also knows that even if it is eaten once, several tribes will not immediately advance to a relatively large scale in a short time.
"Divine Messenger, is this made of rice?"
Looking at the rice in the bowl, the two of them were stunned for a moment, they didn't try to do it, but because the amount of rice put was relatively small, and the time for cooking was not enough, naturally there was no result.
Now looking at the things made by Teng Snake, at least from the sensory point of view, eating is definitely not a problem, carefully picked up the spoon and ate it, this kind of rice without any side dishes at all naturally has no extra taste, and the two of them are relatively rough, and they are even more windy when they eat, at this time, it is very rare to chew a few times, just chew a few times, naturally it is not possible to eat anything.
However, rice is not eaten like this, Song Xuan picked up the chopsticks and demonstrated to several people:
"Old Niu, ...... like this"
A piece of barbecue was sandwiched with a mouthful of rice, and Song Xuan stuffed it into his mouth, which could be regarded as adding some flavor to the rice.
The two of them learned from Song Xuan in a good way, and it was really much better than just now, and they were curious about why Teng Snake's meat was a little salty, but now they finally know the reason, and when the two are combined, the taste is neutralized at once, although the rice is not very delicious, but it can obviously reduce the consumption of meat.
The people of Niuhe finally understood why Teng Snake put so much effort into planting this so-called rice, which could completely replace the existing meat to a certain extent, so that the risk of going out was much smaller.
Niu He also reflected the purpose of Teng Snake large-scale breeding, the two cooperated, as long as the scale is large enough, Teng Snake does not even need to go out to hunt to obtain a large amount of food, in this way, the Teng Snake tribe will be easier to survive, and the population growth is naturally faster than other tribes.
However, although they have only just learned about the cultivation of rice, the cattle breeding tribe has been carried out, and with the cooperation of Teng Snake, the scale is getting bigger and bigger year by year, and even in a few years, without the support of Teng Snake, they can mature and develop on their own.
After understanding the development routine of Teng Snake, Cao Miao still felt very shocked, after all, these things were started when Teng Snake first came, and it took several years to lay out the current results.
He really wanted to follow along, but whether the conditions in the tribe allowed it depended on this year's harvest, but the grass seedlings have now seen through, even if his own tribe develops, there is no problem, and it should be possible to find the Teng Snake tribe at that time.
Neither of these seems to be so simple, after all, even the Teng Snake, which seems to be relatively large now, still needs to continue to ask Niu He for advice, let alone a tribe like them, naturally they don't have so many resources and time.
After all, there were guests, and Xiong Guo's joining was also a major event in the tribe, although they didn't give them a major ceremony, the food was still more sumptuous than usual.
The bamboo shoots in this season are very delicious, but it is not so easy to dig now, but unfortunately there are not too many people to get it here, it can only meet the daily consumption, and wait for two days to dig more or dig some out, after all, it can be eaten all year round after drying.
Although the food on Teng Snake's side is also richer than that of the two tribes, but these icing on the cake are not as shocking as before, but the people of the two tribes still recognize a lot, and they also secretly remember it in their hearts, and they can also look for some when they go back.
Now this season is often the time when the major tribes are under the most pressure, after all, last year's grain storage has basically been eaten, and whether it is hunting or going out to gather, there will not be too much to get, and there are more things to eat, which can naturally relieve the pressure in this regard, and it adds up to a lot.
There was no other program after dinner, and the people of the two tribes had seen too many things they had never seen before, and they also needed to digest them, and as for the lack of additional reception on Teng Snake's side, the two of them didn't care.
Xiong Guo and the child have also been settled, but it will take a long time to fully integrate into the Teng Snake, the language alone is enough for them to have a headache, after running outside for so long, they can finally settle down, and the tribal feud does not need them to worry, the tight strings of the two can finally be relaxed.
In the company of the clansmen, they soon fell asleep, looking at the peaceful appearance of the two, Xiong Da and they were also very distressed, although Xiong Guo and the two did not say how bitter this time was, but they did not need to say, it can be seen from the change in body size.
It's a pity that last year everyone thought that they had been slaughtered by the wolf blazing people, otherwise they would not have suffered so many crimes, and it was naturally much better to catch the Teng snake earlier than to stay in a cave for a winter and travel long distances to find a place to live.
Fortunately, although this journey was not easy, the result was relatively good, and with these dozen children, Xiong Da's eyes obviously added a little hope.
In the confessions of the previous captives, Wolf Chi was arranged to take someone to kill this group of children, but no one knew why he didn't do it, after Xiong Guo and them arrived, Song Xuan also asked Xue'er to find someone to ask.
Since the two most important people have died, especially Wolf Chi, this matter was handled by him, so now among the two tribes, there are not many people who know about this matter, and the task is relatively simple, after Wuyun learned that someone escaped, he directly arranged for Wolf Chi to solve it, and Wolf Chi did leave the Bear tribe and came back for a long time.
However, since no one was arranged, the relevant details were not known to the people on the side of the Black Feather tribe.
But fortunately, although Wolf Chi was executed, there were two people who followed him on the mission at that time and survived, but these two people were not undercover agents at the time, but they just said that they took them halfway to rest for a while, and then went home.
The situation at that time was not optimistic, so Wolf Chi didn't say much, and as for his inner thoughts, naturally no one knew.
However, Song Xuan could probably guess that he just wanted to keep them and take them back to the tribe after the war was over, you must know that until they came to Teng Snake, Xiong Guo and they had always thought that their enemy was Teng Snake.
can take such a group of people back to the tribe, and then let him add fuel and vinegar, and then the enemy will directly become benefactors, and after this group of children is raised, it will still be a lot of help.
Holding Xue'er in his arms, Song Xuan remembered that there seemed to be four captives in the tribe at this time, and after locking them up, Teng Snake and everyone seemed to have forgotten about them, and two of them were still wounded by arrows, and they didn't know if they could survive tonight.
But they have all been buried in the warm quilt, and Song Xuan doesn't want to go out and take people to continue tossing, anyway, there are people who can continue to torture from time to time, and whether they can carry it depends on their creation.
Seeing those children of the bear tribe today, Xue'er was still a little uncomfortable in her heart, although the previous war had nothing to do with him, but after all, the wolf tribe played a very important role in it, and the whole afternoon was not very interested.
"Okay, don't think about it, go to sleep!"
Song Xuan comforted a little, and didn't say anything more.
Although Xiong Guo and they knew that there were people from the wolf tribe on Teng Snake's side, they didn't say anything after they came, after all, these people were all captives, and they could also see that most of them were women and children.
And Xiong Da also specially told them that the current spouse of the divine envoy is a member of the wolf tribe, although everyone has been together for so long, and they also know that the relationship between Xue'er and the wolf tribe is not so close, but Xiong Guo and the two have just joined after all, if they do something reckless and offend the divine envoy, it is always a little bad.
Although the ending of the bear tribe is not very good, but in that situation, it is quite good to be able to survive so many people, after all, even if some people escaped from the kite tribe, the number of people who survived in the end was not much more than that of the bear tribe, seeing that so many children in the bear tribe survived, in addition to being happy for the people of the bear tribe, they were still a little uncomfortable in their hearts.
