Chapter 57: Like It?
"Goddess, is this all right?"
"Just let the sun dry."
The others were skeptical, but the thought that it was the goddess who said it, they pressed their doubts into their hearts.
"How long does it take to dry the persimmons you are talking about?"
"About ten days."
They nodded, whether it was true or not, they would know in ten days.
It's still early, Shen Xiaoxiao cleaned the cave, moved the water tank to the front of the cave, and wanted to carry water to fill it before she thought that there was no bucket, she sighed lightly, it seems that she has to get a bucket out, but now there is only a bone knife, and it is not too difficult to split the firewood.
She originally wanted to fill the bowl with water and pour it into the water tank, but she tried it, and although she could pick it up, it was very reluctant, after all, the bowl was already heavy, and it was even heavier when it was filled with water, so she dismissed this idea for fear of breaking it.
Thinking about waiting for Xiao Yan to come back and let him pretend, he has been hunting all year round, and it is not a problem to decorate some water with all his strength, otherwise he will wait for her to find a way to get a wooden barrel out and use it again.
When the witch doctor saw the boiled pots and pans, his eyes were full of curiosity, and his eyes lit up after hearing the purpose of these things, and his eyes when he looked at Shen Xiaoxiao were full of enthusiasm, and there were even some tears faintly.
Shen Xiaoxiao couldn't understand her eyes for a while, and frowned slightly, "Witch doctor, what are you?" ”
"Goddess ......" The witch doctor's voice choked, and he was speechless with excitement.
Shen Xiaoxiao was even more puzzled, her heart was full of doubts, she didn't understand what she meant, she wanted to ask clearly, but the witch doctor had recovered, as if the loss of control just now was not her.
Shen Xiaoxiao suppressed the doubts in her heart, she still has a lot of respect for the witch doctor, after all, she didn't feel sorry for her when she stayed in the tribe before, and she also helped her, she is not the kind of ungrateful person, since she doesn't want to say it, then she won't ask, and she will naturally know when she wants to say it.
The sun was setting, Shen Xiaoxiao took back the dried wolfberry white fungus and persimmons, afraid of staining the persimmons, she also moved two tripods and hung them in the cave, the cave was big enough, otherwise it would be crowded with so many things.
After she finished this, Xiao Yan also came back, he was carrying a basket on his shoulder, there were three chickens hanging on it, and he was carrying a pure white thing in his hand, she hurriedly greeted it, and then she saw clearly what he was doing, it turned out to be a pure white fox, with white hair as snow, and his tail hanging weakly, and he could see that he had already lost his breath.
"Where did you hunt?" Shen Xiaoxiao is curious, the fox is cunning and flexible, it takes a lot of effort to hunt, and the fur is so complete, it takes even more energy.
"Like it? I will make you animal skins to wear. When he saw this fox, Xiao Yan's first reaction was to use the fox's skin to make Xiaoxiao into a beast skin skirt, which must look good when she wore it, after all, Xiaoxiao's skin is so white.
"For me?" Shen Xiaoxiao was a little incredulous, after all, this is a wild fur, and it is so complete, this is also a hot commodity in modern times, not to mention in this era when all the animals are worn.
With one more hide, they will have something more to keep out the cold in winter.
She didn't expect Xiao Yan to give her this precious fox skin without blinking her eyes.
"Well, do you like it?" Xiao Yan looked natural.
"I like it." Shen Xiaoxiao showed a big smile on her face, since he has the heart to be good to her, she will naturally not be uninteresting, of course, she will also use her own methods to treat him, the relationship between the two is mutual, no matter what relationship needs to be managed, only one party pays the relationship will not last long.
Xiao Yan curled the corners of his lips, "I'll hunt you next time I see it." ”
"Okay." Shen Xiaoxiao responded with a smile, "Let's put things down first, and I'll use these meats to cook some soup later." ”
"Okay." Xiao Yan put the pheasants he caught in the chicken pen and threw some grass into them to eat.
The people who went hunting also came back, and when they saw the fox in Xiao Yan's hand, they all excitedly stepped forward, "Xiao Yan, where did you go to hunt the fox?" And it's so complete. ”
"Fought in the mountains." Xiao Yan's expression was faint, they all knew him, and they didn't think there was anything wrong with his tone, and some of them rolled their eyes slightly, "Xiao Yan, can I change this fur with you?" ”
Xiao Yan immediately took the fox back, and refused mercilessly, "I can't." "If it had been before, he might have agreed, but this is for Xiaoxiao.
The man heard Xiao Yan say this and wanted to fight again, but after seeing Xiao Yan's expression, he knew that it was not negotiable, so he gave up.
Soon Xiao Yan skillfully withdrew a whole piece of skin, washed the meat again, Shen Xiaoxiao took a little soup to cook, and the rest was skewered and roasted, and asked Xiao Yan to carry water to fill the water tank.
Soon a smell of meat came into everyone's noses, different from the smell of barbecue, this taste had an indescribable sweetness, everyone looked in the direction where the smell came from, and found that something was burning on the fire, and a puff of smoke rose on it, and the smell came from here.
They didn't understand what it was, and they already knew the humane effect of it, "This is the pot, and the goddess uses it to cook food." ”
"How do you know?" The others were a little surprised, they were sure that this was the first time they had seen each other, how did they know about it?
"Today we used to boil water with the goddess." The man said with a look of pride.
The people who had gone out to hunt and gather were puzzled, and did not understand what they were saying, so they inquired carefully, and were shocked to learn that this was what the goddess had made out of the clay before.
Can this be roasted on a fire?
For a moment, they couldn't help but walk over, "Goddess, what are you doing?" ”
"Cook the soup."
"Soup?"
"It's boiled with food and water."
"Can you eat this thing? Isn't the food all for baking? Someone asked, puzzled.
"It can be eaten, roasting is just one method, and there are many ways to cook food, such as boiling is one method now, and steaming, frying and stir-frying...... "Now the conditions do not allow it, only boiling and baking."
The eyes of the others were full of doubts, but the fragrance in the pot was getting stronger and stronger, and they couldn't help but swallow their saliva, it seemed to be really delicious, but they didn't look at it much, and they were embarrassed to open this mouth and let the goddess share them.
Shen Xiaoxiao didn't squeak either, after all, there was only so much, and it wasn't enough for one person to take a bite, besides, she was going to cook it for herself, how could she divide it all.
There is a saying that does not suffer from widowhood but unevenness, if she opens her mouth to share it with them, it will be embarrassing if it is not enough, and she doesn't know what to think when the time comes.
Seeing that they were staying here, Shen Xiaoxiao was helpless, "You go back and eat food." "It's useless to stay here, and she doesn't have anything to give them.
They don't know, but it smells so good, and they smell it.
Seeing their eyes, Shen Xiaoxiao silently closed the lid and said calmly, "It's not ripe yet." "They were too embarrassed to eat it when they stared at her like that.
The others swallowed, turned around and left, and then continued to roast their food.
