Chapter 62: What Do You Want?
"Witch doctor, it's not a problem to teach you." Shen Xiaoxiao said unhurriedly, the witch doctor looked at her expectantly, with a hint of imperceptible nervousness in his eyes, as if he was waiting for the judgment of fate, "But I don't want your things." ”
The witch doctor was a little puzzled, "So what do you want?" "As long as they can teach them how to burn pottery, whatever it is, they will find a way to get it for her.
"Yes, goddess, what do you want? We'll go find you. Several people who followed the witch doctor also said that it was torture for them to smell the fragrance of the food made by the goddess in the past two days, and they were also fortunate enough to drink a sip, which really warmed their bodies.
Xiao Yan was also a little puzzled, not knowing what she wanted to do.
"You help me pick persimmons and chestnuts, and I'll teach you how to burn pottery." Shen Xiaoxiao said lightly.
The witch doctor was a little surprised, she thought that she was going to let them do something, it turned out to be to let them pick the fruit, it seems that the goddess also wants to teach them, it must be that the beast god doesn't want them to learn easily to make the goddess embarrassed them, but the goddess can't bear to let them suffer, so she picks a simple thing for them to do, so that the beast god will not blame her.
This is not only the idea of the witch doctor, but also the idea of other people, otherwise how could the goddess let them do such a simple and non-dangerous thing.
"Okay, is there anything else the goddess wants us to do?" The witch doctor immediately responded.
"No, you don't need more, you just pick ten baskets for me." In this way, even if a basket can only hold dozens of catties of things, there are hundreds of catties, that is, picking so many at once, it takes a long time to peel in the early stage.
"Okay, goddess, when do you want it, or we'll pick it up for you tomorrow." The witch doctor hurriedly said so that they could learn to burn pottery soon.
She also knew that the persimmon in the goddess's mouth was an astringent fruit, but the astringent fruit was not tolerant of it, and they would spoil it after picking it for a few days.
"Goddess, the astringent fruit doesn't last long, and it will rot if you pick so much." The witch doctor couldn't help but remind that the goddess must know, but maybe she had forgotten.
"I know, but I'm using it to make persimmons." Shen Xiaoxiao smiled lightly, and it can be used to exchange things, and Xiao Yan said that there should be more than thirty days of winter coming, even if you can't change things, you can eat it yourself.
"If you can trust me, you can also pick some and dry them into persimmons to eat in the winter, and chestnuts can also be stored for the winter."
The witch doctor and the others looked puzzled, not knowing what the chestnut she was talking about, "It's a thorn fruit, which can be eaten." Xiao Yan's voice sounded, "I can eat enough." ”
The witch doctor's eyes lit up, "Are you sure it's a thorn fruit?" "Last time, the females of the tribe came back and complained that they saw two trees full of thorn fruits, and it would be nice to replace them with fruits that they could eat, but they didn't expect that the thorn fruits could be eaten, and if they picked the thorn fruits of those two trees, then they wouldn't have to worry about it in winter, but they didn't know how long they could keep it.
"Well, but you have to cook it before you eat it." Seeing that they didn't believe it very much, Xiao Yan scooped up the little chestnut that was left after eating, "This is, this is the soup that Xiaoxiao used to cook just now." "Saying that, he ate the chestnuts, after all, they ate the leftovers, and it was not good for them to eat them.
"But it doesn't look like a thorn fruit." Some people say, "There is no thorn in this, it is clearly something else."
"This is peeled, and when you pick it up, you have to remove the thorny shell on the outside, and you have to take off another layer of shell before cooking." Xiao Yan's voice was smooth, and Shen Xiaoxiao had already taken out a handful from the cave, "That's how to remove the thorny shell outside, and remove this brown shell before cooking the soup, if you cook it directly, you don't need to peel off the shell in advance, just peel off the shell after cooking." ”
The witch doctor looked at the chestnuts with a look of novelty, and then his heart beat rapidly, and his eyes were ecstatic, if it was really as the goddess said, then they could save a lot of food for the winter.
"Then we'll pick it tomorrow, and then you can teach us how to burn pottery." The witch doctor looked at her expectantly.
"No, you don't." The witch doctor's heart instantly lifted, thinking that she was unwilling to teach them again, "Some of you go into the mountains, and the rest of you will learn to make pottery with me in the tribe." ”
The witch doctor smiled instantly, "Okay. After another exchange of pleasantries, the witch doctor left, and the others looked at her gratefully.
"You're with them tomorrow?" Shen Xiaoxiao looked at Xiao Yan and asked with his eyes.
Xiao Yan shook his head, "I'll cut vines." ”
Shen Xiaoxiao thought for a while and said, "Tell them about our plans, see if they want to do this, if they want to exchange these things for other things, then let's go with them." ”
Even if she didn't say it, they could imagine it, and besides, she had taught them everything, and naturally she didn't think that she would control them from exchanging these things.
If she doesn't want to, she just can't teach them from the source.
"Okay." Xiao Yan didn't have any opinions, and he also hoped that the tribe could be better.
Xiao Yan went to the witch doctor to explain their thoughts, and wanted to ask the tribe's opinion, but the witch doctor was silent for a moment after hearing this, and then decided to join them to weave baskets and burn pottery to exchange things.
She could predict that these two things would definitely be popular, and that they would definitely be able to exchange more things for the tribe when the time came.
"Then you can go with you tomorrow, and I'll teach them how to make pottery." Shen Xiaoxiao's voice was relaxed.
Next.
Shen Xiaoxiao boiled a few eggs, and filled the gourd with who asked Xiao Yan to bring it.
The people of the tribe were divided into three teams, one team went to pick persimmons, one team went to cut vines, and one team learned pottery from Shen Xiaoxiao in the tribe.
Shen Xiaoxiao took all the things that needed to be dried outside to dry, "Goddess, we'll help you." Daya and a few females stepped forward and took what she had in her hand and hung it on a branch like she did.
"Goddess, what is this?"
"Persimmons, made of astringent fruits, can be made into persimmons that can last for a long time, and that is wolfberry white fungus." Shen Xiaoxiao smiled lightly, "These things can be stored for a longer time after they are dried." ”
The females nodded, their eyes flashed, they didn't know what this wolfberry was with a clump of things, but the astringent fruit did know, it bore the fruit of a big tree, if it was really as the goddess said, they would also pick it back and make persimmons, then they would have a lot of food to keep for the winter.
Watching the goddess drying this persimmon is like peeling the skin, and then putting it in the sun to dry, which looks very simple.
Shen Xiaoxiao didn't know what they were thinking, and after drying the things, he beckoned them to dig the mud, which was also a manual work, and it took a lot of time to pick out the things inside.
Originally, she thought that they would find it hard, but they all acted happily, their eyes were full of interest, and even when they were sweating profusely, they always had a smile on their faces.
After a while, they dug up a lot of soil, Shen Xiaoxiao poured water into it with a bowl, stirred it with his hands, mixed the mud with water, and asked them to do the same, not to mention whether she could be busy, and secondly, since it was to teach them, how could they learn it without doing it.
