Chapter 61: We Want to Ask You Something
Although they did not climb very high, they were on the other side of the mountain, and the time to go back and forth was not short.
"Baa~Baa~" Shen Xiaoxiao clearly heard the cry of the sheep, his eyes lit up, he looked around but did not see the shadow of the sheep, and his heart was disappointed, thinking that he could catch a sheep.
Xiao Yan saw Shen Xiaoxiao's thoughts, a dark glint flashed in his eyes, and he already had a plan in his heart.
When they returned to the tribe, the hunters and pickers had not yet returned, so they took out the eggs and put them in a corner of the cave, and then began to cook.
Shen Xiaoxiao asked Xiao Yan to kill a chicken, and asked him to keep chicken feathers, which she wanted to make into reed boots, after all, she couldn't still wear sandals in winter.
She filled the water and boiled some chestnuts on the stove, so that the chestnut shells would be easier to get off.
Shen Xiaoxiao put the chicken in the pot and boiled a pot of soup, put the shelled chestnuts inside, and finally sprinkled a little salt, and the chicken soup with the fragrance of chestnuts lasted for a long time.
"Xiao Yan, we only have a little salt left." I don't know where this salt came from, but this era should still be the era of barter.
"In a few days, the tribe will go to other tribes to change things, and then we will change some back." Xiao Yan said unhurriedly.
"What do we exchange for?" Shen Xiaoxiao was a little curious, after all, they were poor and white, and it seemed that there was nothing to change.
"You can trade it for hides or other prey food."
Shen Xiaoxiao thought for a while and said, "The basket we made should be able to be replaced, right?" After all, there are no such things in this era, and she thinks they should be quite popular, just look at the attitudes of the rest of the tribe.
"Yes." Xiao Yan nodded.
"Then let's make a few baskets to change, can these pots and bowls also be changed? Let's burn more to change. "Hunting is so dangerous, she doesn't really want Xiao Yan to fight, and the animal skin must be used in winter, and it is impossible to exchange it for things.
It would be nice to be able to exchange baskets and pots and bowls, but it would take a little time to do them, but on second thought, it was the same time it took to go hunting, but it was just a different thing, and it was safer.
"Yes, too." Xiao Yan thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll go cut some vines tomorrow and come back." He remembered that there was a place where a lot of vines had grown, and it took some effort.
"Okay, I'll make some clay at home tomorrow, and I'll go into the mountains the day after tomorrow."
She wanted to say something, but she heard, "It's so fragrant, what smells so good." ”
"I smell it too, and it's still so strong."
Shen Xiaoxiao turned around, it turned out that the people who went hunting and picking came back, they were looking for the source of the fragrance, and walked in front of Shen Xiaoxiao one by one along the taste, looking at the pot of soup that was still steaming, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva, "Goddess, is this what you did?" ”
Shen Xiaoxiao nodded lightly, "Well, chicken soup." After thinking about it, he changed his words, "It's the soup made by the bobtail bird." ”
A group of people were a little incredulous, fake, it's not that they haven't eaten bobtails, how can it be so fragrant, the gluttonous worms in their stomachs have been hooked out, they really want to eat it, but this is the goddess's.
"Goddess, you didn't lie to us." Some people don't believe it, "How can a bobtail bird be so fragrant." ”
"What are you lying to you for? Nong, it's still there. Shen Xiaoxiao pointed to the chicken feather that was placed aside.
They were silent, and began to wonder if what they had eaten before was not the same thing as what the goddess had eaten, how could the taste be so different, this one smelled so good, and it must have tasted good.
They tried to swallow their saliva and forced themselves to look away, "Goddess, you eat first, and we will eat food too." ”
Shen Xiaoxiao didn't stay, after all, there was so much, if she left people, it wouldn't be enough for one person.
Soon the tribe also lit a fire, and the barbecued meat they had eaten with relish before now felt a little dull and tasteless when they smelled the fragrance everywhere.
"Eat more." Shen Xiaoxiao gave Xiao Yan a big spoonful of chicken soup, "This yellow one is chestnut, try it, it tastes very good." ”
Xiao Yan ate some, his eyes lit up, some powder, and there was a hint of sweetness, the important thing is to eat a full stomach, to fill his stomach, it turns out that this thing can really be eaten, but they don't know it.
"Chestnuts can still be made into many delicious things, but now the conditions are limited, so they can only be boiled and eaten." Shen Xiaoxiao took a sip of soup and breathed a sigh of relief, sure enough, he still had to eat something hot.
"We'll pick up more of them the day after tomorrow." Shen Xiaoxiao said easily, in fact, there is no need for Shen Xiaoxiao to say that Xiao Yan has already decided to pick up more, after all, this is food, and it can't be wasted.
He hesitated for a moment and said, "Do you want to tell them?" Although they don't act with the tribe now, after all, he has lived in the tribe for many years, so he naturally hopes that the tribe will be good.
"Besides, it's not a valuable thing, and besides, there is more than one such tree in the mountains, and we can't finish picking it up." Shen Xiaoxiao said flatly, they are not pigs, they can eat so many chestnuts.
And in this way, she can get along more harmoniously with the relationship with the tribe, and it brings them benefits, and they will naturally accept her, don't look at them as a goddess now, but if she can't bring them benefits for a long time, no one will believe her as a goddess in the end.
After all, the Chinese people never worship useless gods, let alone that she is still a fake.
The most important thing is that if the tribe is good, they can be good, although they don't act together, they are a part of the tribe after all, and once something bad happens, she can't escape.
"By the way, you can also pick more persimmons, make them into persimmons, and take them for exchange or keep them for yourself." Shen Xiaoxiao thought for a while and said, this is all the food they can grab now, and they can't go wrong with picking more.
It's just that there are only two of them, and they can't do everything at once.
As soon as Xiao Yan wanted to say something, he saw the witch doctor coming over, followed by a few people, so he stopped, stood up, and saw the witch doctor approaching, and said, "Witch doctor." ”
The witch doctor nodded at him and smiled lovingly, "Goddess, how are you doing these days?" ”
Shen Xiaoxiao nodded, with some guesses in her heart, and she felt that the witch doctor must have something to find her.
Sure enough, then she heard, "Goddess, we have something to ask of you." ”
"If you say something, you can do it." Shen Xiaoxiao's tone was calm.
The witch doctor hesitated for a moment, "We want to ask you to teach us how to make your pot?" Then he hurriedly said, "We can exchange it for food." After speaking, he looked at Shen Xiaoxiao nervously, and so did the others, for fear that they would hear Shen Xiaoxiao reject them.
Shen Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, but after thinking about it, she understood, her eyes rolled slightly, in fact, it was not impossible to teach them, after all, she would also make pottery tomorrow, and there would be no problem in teaching them.
