Chapter 73: This Matters
When they couldn't sit still, they saw two people approaching them from a distance, talking and laughing, and they all breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the people.
"Goddess, why did you come back now, did something happen?" Shi An and the others stepped forward and asked with concern.
"It's okay, we're out looking for food." Shen Xiaoxiao looked at Shi An and the others puzzled, just cutting wheat, what could happen.
"Goddess, what is this?" Everyone noticed what they had brought back, and their eyes were full of curiosity, could it be something delicious?
Now everyone is accustomed to Shen Xiaoxiao often eating things that they think they can't eat, even if she tells them that trees can eat them, they don't feel strange.
The things that the goddess brought back today are so small, no wonder they came back so late, it must have been a long delay to pick this thing, but why does this thing look so familiar.
"This is wheat, which can be dried and ground into flour to make a lot of delicious food." Shen Xiaoxiao smiled, someone couldn't help but grab a little and put it in his mouth, and then spit it out again, "Goddess, are you sure you can eat this?" So hard. ”
Shen Xiaoxiao smiled, "It's not eaten directly, it's going to be dried and ground into flour to make food." ”
It's so troublesome, hearing Shen Xiaoxiao say this, this thought instantly surged in everyone's hearts, it's really too troublesome.
"Have any of you ever seen this?" Shen Xiaoxiao specially brought back a few wheat plants that had not been threshed, just to ask them if they had seen them, after all, they often went out to pick and hunt, maybe they had seen them somewhere.
Since there is one piece, she believes that there must be other places, so she has to take the time to find it.
"You all take a closer look, this thing is very important, and with it we will be able to eat our stomachs." Shen Xiaoxiao said seriously, if the food problem is solved, their lives will be better and better in the future, otherwise they will be busy working all day long to feed their stomachs, and they will struggle with food and clothing all their lives.
Hearing her say this, everyone looked at it seriously, "I've seen this." Suddenly, someone shouted, "Goddess, I've seen this." A young female looked at Shen Xiaoxiao excitedly.
"Ye, when have you ever seen this thing? How did we not know? The people who were familiar with Ye asked suspiciously, they went to pick together, and they had never seen this thing, how could Ye see it.
"Didn't I tell you before that I saw a kind of grass that bears fruit that is small and hard, which is what the goddess said." Ye said calmly, there are many such things in that place, and I can't see the edge at a glance, but I don't know if it's really edible as the goddess said.
If it could be eaten, the tribe would have a lot of food.
As soon as she said this, others also remembered it, Ye was very happy at that time, and later knew that she couldn't eat it and was lost for a long time, but she didn't expect the goddess to know her, and she knew how to eat.
"Really?" Shen Xiaoxiao was a little surprised, she just had the mentality of asking, but she didn't expect it to be true.
"Well, but over that mountain." Shen Xiaoxiao looked at her fingers, and sighed in her heart, could she be saying that she cut it today?
If so, then Bai rejoices.
"There's a big piece of it, it's golden, it's so beautiful to look at, I can't see the end when I stand there."
Shen Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief, and then a joy in his heart, if it was really as Ye said, they couldn't see the edge, then they wouldn't have to worry about it in winter.
"Goddess, can this really be eaten?" The witch doctor was a little incredulous, and there was some excitement in his expression.
"You can eat it, but you have to deal with it." Shen Xiaoxiao affirmed.
The witch doctor immediately told them to follow Ye tomorrow to harvest wheat.
"Xiaoxiao, come over and eat food." Xiao Yan said while stirring the soup, "Okay." Shen Xiaoxiao said as he responded.
"Shall we go with them tomorrow?" Xiao Yan handed her a bowl of soup and said.
"Go, cut some more, come back." Shen Xiaoxiao didn't think about it, if they didn't go with the tribe, it was up to them how much food they could store, and she naturally wouldn't dislike having too much food.
Don't look at the fact that they brought almost two baskets of wheat back today, but in fact, it is less than two hundred catties, she still wants to keep planting next year, and there will be even less to eat, since Ye said that there is so much wheat in that place that she can't see the edge, then she will naturally go, if it is just a small point, she will not go to grab it from them.
"Then I'll go talk to the witch doctor."
"Hmm." Shen Xiaoxiao nodded, "By the way, I think we still need to hunt more meat and save some meat." "Otherwise, it will be uncomfortable if you don't get meat in one winter.
"Then when I come back after changing things, I'll go play more." When the time comes, I am not afraid that the meat will spoil when it is cold.
"The prey we hunt like this will be gone after two days, and the chickens we raise will definitely not be enough to eat this winter." If there are many leaves, it will be difficult to raise.
"But now if we bring the prey back, we won't be able to finish it, and it will spoil."
"I have a way, we will make bacon and bacon from the prey we have brought back, but it costs firewood." They have brought some firewood back these days, but they don't have much firewood in store, and they have to find two days to go out and pick up some firewood.
Now there is basically no need to do anything, mainly to store food and collect more firewood to come back.
"If you want to go hunting, you better go with the tribesmen, otherwise I won't worry about you alone." Shen Xiaoxiao frowned and said, if she hunts, she can't help much, maybe it will still be a drag, but she doesn't worry about Xiao Yan going alone, the best way is to follow the tribe together.
"Okay." Xiao Yan thought for a while and said, "If I go hunting, you will be in the tribe, or with other females, and you can't go out of the tribe alone." Otherwise, he would not be at ease.
"Are you hunting with a group of people to surround your prey?" Shen Xiaoxiao said curiously.
"Yes."
"Have you ever thought about making some traps so that it won't be so difficult to catch, you can lay the trap in advance and go back the next day or a few days to see if there is any catch?" Shen Xiaoxiao thought for a while and said, "Or drive the prey to the location of the trap laid, so that the prey falls into the trap, you don't have to work so hard, and it will be relatively safe." ”
"Trap?" A thought flashed through Xiao Yan's mind, but he didn't catch it.
"It is to dig a big hole in the ground, and lay a trap in the pit, and you can sharpen some sticks and stand in it, and then cover the top of the pit with branches or leaves, but you must also remember the position of the trap you have laid so that you do not fall down."
"Or you just dig a pit, you don't have to put anything in it, and then you can kill the prey yourself and drag it up."
She doesn't actually understand this, but she can also give a general idea, as for how to operate it depends on them, they hunt all year round, and naturally know where to place traps, it is easy for prey to fall in.
"This method is that digging a pit is more difficult at the beginning, but this pit can be reused, if a prey falls into it, you take the prey, and then do a good job of camouflaging it and you can use it again."
