Reborn Primitive Age

Chapter 9 Hot Pot Brewing

In the house, the fragrance is overflowing.

On the rough log table, a cast iron pot was steaming, and below it was an iron stove burning red charcoal.

These two things were exchanged by Gong Liang with two large pieces of marinated giant turtle meat and black iron wild rare, as well as a bone chopping knife, a kitchen knife and a spatula.With his efforts, his kitchen utensils are slowly being prepared.

"gollum"

Smelling the aroma constantly wafting from the cast-iron pot, Xiaoshi swallowed his saliva beside him, but Xiaoshi's saliva had already flowed all over the floor.

Inside the pot was a pheasant skeleton and marinated giant turtle meat and crab meat. At first, Gongliang had cooked it on a large stove, but now it was boiled in a small pot over a slow fire.Seeing that the heat was almost ready, he put thinly sliced ​​pheasant meat and animal meat in, and when the meat was cooked, he added a lot of wild vegetables and fresh mushrooms.

In just a moment, a smell mixed with meat came out of the cast iron pot, and now even Gongliang himself was so greedy that he swallowed his saliva.

He took a piece of meat and fresh mushrooms and wild vegetables and tried it. When it was cooked, he said to Brother Xiaoshi next to him, "You can eat it."

Xiaoshi and Xiaoshi, who couldn't wait, quickly picked up the spoon next to them to scoop up the meat in the pot and put them into their own stone bowls, and they didn't stop until the stone bowl was full.Gongliang was naturally not to be outdone, and filled a bowl full.

He eats and savors.

The soup made from crab meat, giant turtle and pheasant skeleton is very delicious. Although there are not as many seasonings as before, the thick soup made from natural river and wild delicacies is not bad.And it is more delicious, after all, it is a pure natural product.

Unfortunately, there is no food.

He is a southerner with a rice belly, and he enjoys every meal without rice.

But here, there is nothing but meat all day long. It seems that I have to find time to find other things to eat.

It is estimated that there is no rice here, but there must be starch.The rhizomes of some plants are rich in starch, but these have to be tested and screened. Don't accidentally eat poisonous things, and it will be bad if you lose your life.

As he thought, he ate, and when he finished eating the bowl, he wanted to scoop out the meat, but he saw that the pot was empty.

The meat had long since disappeared, and all the vegetables had been scooped up, not to mention the meat and vegetables, and there was only a little soup left.

I glanced at the two brothers Xiaoshi and Xiaoshi next to me, and I saw that the two had already eaten, and they were lying on the chair with their big bellies in their hands.

Fortunately, he was well prepared, put down the bowl, walked into the kitchen and brought out the remaining soup and meat dishes, and added a few drops of diluted wild pepper water into it.The giant turtle meat that had been scorched to death by the wild pepper also had a slight spicy taste, but it was almost non-existent. After dripping the wild pepper water, the spicy taste came out immediately.Gongliang tasted it, and it was a bit spicy.

Xiaoshi looked at the meat dishes he brought out, frowned and said, "Ah Liang, I can't eat any more." Xiaoshi next to him also nodded.

"Then you guys rest on the side first, and I'll eat some more." After speaking, he picked up the cooked meat and vegetables and started to eat.

After he had eaten a few mouthfuls and looked up, he saw Xiaoshi was fishing for something to eat again, he couldn't help asking: "Aren't you full?"

"I can pretend a little more." Xiao Shi said honestly.

Gong Liang glanced at his swollen stomach and rolled his eyes.

After eating and drinking enough, people became lazy, so Gong Liang put his feet on the table and leaned on the chair to rest.

But Xiaoshi said, "Let's go, let's pick the fruit."

Gongliang was too lazy to move, he had to take a rest to feel comfortable when he was full, what fruit to pick.So, he lied to him: "You must rest for a while when you are full, or your stomach will hurt when you walk."

"Oh"

Xiaoshi scratched the back of his head, feeling as if this really happened. Last time was the last time, he just moved right after he was full, which caused him to have a stomachache.

So, he obediently sat on the chair to rest.

Gong Liang took a look at the house. Although it was in a primitive and rough style, it was not bad, and it was very artistic.Here, you don’t have to worry about food and clothing, and the two major issues in life are solved.He is also content.Like before, in order to make a living, I had to type all day, just to earn some rations, so as not to starve to death.Now I don't lack anything, but I am at ease.

He is a character who is at ease anywhere, so this is not bad.

We have all said that life is nothing more than firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea. Now he has firewood, but he can’t find rice, but he has animal meat and vegetables, and the sauce barely has wild pepper. In the future, he will see if he can find beans or other sauces. I don’t have vinegar either, but I’m going to pick fruit to make wine later on. If it can’t be made into wine, at least there will be sour vinegar. Don’t worry about the tea leaves here, insect excrement is almost the same.

In the past, there was a kind of insect excrement tea in Yunnan and Xiangxi, and you can look for it in the future.

In addition to these, the most important thing is sugar. It is impossible to live without sugar in cooking, but it is estimated that there are no sugar cane and beets here, so the only choice is honey.I don't know where it is, so I will find some time to find out.It's just that with his young body now, he can't go into the woods, because there are too many beasts, poisonous insects in the forest.

If you can prepare all the sauces for cooking and have delicious food to accompany, in fact, living here is not bad, it is better than the urban jungle before.

There is no pressure to earn money, no worries about air pollution, no worries about unqualified food everywhere, and no worries about being forced to marry without a wife. Think about it, it is really a fairy-like life.

After resting for a while, Xiaoshi couldn't wait to take him and Xiaoshi to pick fruit together.

There are many fruits in the mountains, some are long, some are short, some are round and some are flat. It can be said that they are of different shapes and strange.

Xiaoshi led them to a small mountain depression, a mountain vine grew on a nearby mountain wall, and long curved purple fruits hung from the vine.Xiaoshi saw that one of the long purple fruits was cracked, so he picked it off and ate it.Peel off the outer layer of purple skin, and inside is a strip of blue flesh, which looks weird.Xiaoshi didn't care, and stuffed it into his mouth.

When Xiao Xiaoshi saw it, he became anxious immediately, "I want it too, I want it too."

Xiaoshi then picked some long purple fruits and gave them to his younger brother and Gongliang. Gongliang tried it out, and it was soft and sweet, a bit like a banana, but not too sweet, with a core in the middle, which is the seed.

After picking some long purple fruits, Xiaoshi took them to other places to pick fruits.

On the way, they also met a few tribal children who were about the same age, and they all came out to pick something to eat.In this kind of primitive tribe, no one cares about the children at all, and they can go wherever they like.

Gongliang planned to make wine from wild berries, so he carried a leather bag on his back, and didn't go back until it was full.

When he got home, he started making wine.In this primitive barren place, making wine is very simple, nothing more than breaking all the fruits and putting them into jars. As for whether it can be made into wine, it depends on luck and God's will.

He took out the two stone pots he had prepared, and then began to peel the berries, crush the flesh and put them into the stone pots, and some of them had to use a knife to peel the skins, remove the cores, and chop them up.

Based on the principle of experimentation, he did not dare to make much, and only made two cans.

Xiaoshi took Xiaoshi with a bunch of fruits and watched him brewing wine. When he saw him put the wild fruits in a jar and seal them, he suddenly realized: "So you are brewing wine."

"You know?" Gongliang wondered.He thought that no one had seen wine in this place, but he didn't expect Xiaoshi to know.

"Of course I know. Uncle Heiyan can make wine, and so can Dad." Xiaoshi said proudly.

Gong Liang thought, it seems that he thinks this place is too low, and thinks it is an ignorant and primitive society, it seems that this is not necessarily the case.Otherwise, no one would know how to forge iron and make wine, and the sparks and flame patterns that floated out of worshiping the ancestor gods, everything was far beyond his cognition, it was too unimaginable.It is said that this place is primitive, but there are things like ironware and wine. It is said that it is not primitive, and all life is in a primitive state. It is really weird.

Unable to figure it out, Gong Liang simply didn't think about it, and asked Xiao Shi, "Then is the wine they make drinkable?"

"Abba's can't be drunk, but Uncle Heiyan's can be drunk sometimes and sometimes not."

It seems that these people are also half-handed, just like he is making wine now, purely by luck, not really good at making wine.

Regardless of him, Gong Liang dug a hole in the open space in front of the big rock, put a stone jar full of berries in it, and put the other outside to expose to the sun. He didn't know if the berries could be fermented. It's a wine, so let's try it first.
