The Rise of Primitive Tribes Farming

Chapter 77 The Cuisine of the Chuanshan Tribe

After the transaction was completed, the Chuanshan tribe became even more enthusiastic.

"I've been busy for so long, isn't Chief Chen hungry? This is your first visit to our tribe, and I must invite you to taste our tribe's unique delicacies."

Bone Armor's attitude was very sincere, and he was so enthusiastic that Chen Bei was too embarrassed to refuse.

"Oh, what kind of delicacy?"

Chen Bei knows that many tribes have their own unique delicacies, which are not usually brought out, but are specially used to entertain distinguished guests.

He was also a little curious as to what the Chuanshan tribe's so-called delicacy was.

The bone armor said: "Chief Chen, please follow me."

Chen Bei followed behind the bone armor, and Lie, Baicao and the others also followed. They also wanted to see what the Chuanshan tribe's food was.

Bone Armor called two members of the Chuanshan Tribe. They took a large leaf and folded it into several square boxes.

Afterwards, these people drilled into the woods.

Bone Armor followed closely behind with Chen Bei and others, and everyone had relaxed smiles on their faces.

Not long after, they finally arrived at their destination, under a dead tree where the two hugged each other.

The dead tree was already very decayed, and there was a large mud pile under the tree, covered with granular soil, piled up in the shape of many chimneys.

On these mud piles, there are many termites crawling around.

Termite nest?
Chen Bei's eyes widened. The so-called delicacy of the Chuanshan Tribe is termites, right?

He suddenly thought that the totem god of the Chuanshan tribe is a pangolin, and the favorite food of pangolins is termites.

No way?
The last time I was with the safflower of the tree tribe, I ate bugs. This time, I actually had to eat ants.

Chen Bei asked the bone armor unwillingly, "What are we going to do?"

Bone Armor said with a smile on his face: "This is what I call delicacy. This colony of termites has been here for a long time. We have been reluctant to eat it, just to entertain distinguished guests one day."

"Termite larvae are a rare delicacy, Chief Chen, you are in luck."

Chen Bei finally gave up struggling, he guessed right, the delicacy that the bone armor said was really these termites.

Chen Bei comforted himself: Forget it, the bugs have been eaten, and eating some termites is nothing.

In his previous life, Chen Bei had heard of people eating termites, but he himself had never tasted them. This time, to be honest, he was really curious about what termites tasted like.

The bone armor pointed at the termite nest, and said to the two tribesmen of the Chuanshan tribe, "Dig."

"Ahhhhhh..."

One of them immediately started digging. He didn't need any tools at all. His long nails were like the claws of a pangolin. They were so powerful that he dug up the huge termite nest with his bare hands.

After digging, the termites inside exploded, and countless termites rushed out to find the person who attacked their nest.

The arms of the Chuanshan tribe were soon covered with termites, but he didn't care, and the totem pattern on his body instantly lit up.

Chen Bei was surprised to find that after running the power of the totem, the skin of the people of the Chuanshan tribe turned grayish brown, and there were many scales on it, which were smaller than the scales of real pangolins.

After the scales appeared, his skin defense became extremely amazing, even these powerful termites couldn't cause him any harm.

Another Chuanshan tribe put down the bundle of firewood mixed with dry and wet, and took out a leaf-wrapped Phylophora from the firewood.

P. xylinum is very thick like a horseshoe, with lignified fibers inside.

A small hole was dug in the center of this fungus, and it was still smoking.

As long as this thing is ignited, it can be simmered for a long time, so it is suitable for preservation.

"Huh...huh..."

The Chuanshan tribe blew into the fungus, and soon, a small flame ignited inside.

He used this to ignite some dry and soft grass, and then ignited the bundle of dry firewood mixed with wet and dry.

Soon the flames were ablaze, but due to the wet wood and leaves inside, there was a lot of smoke coming out very quickly.

At this time, another Chuanshan tribe had completely dug up the huge termite nest, and countless ants were crawling around.

The Chuanshan tribe brought a smoking torch close to the termite nest, and used a large leaf to vigorously fan the smoke towards the termite nest.

Chen Bei asked the bone armor curiously: "What are we doing? Aren't we going to catch termites? After this smoke, don't all the termites run away?"

Bone Armor squatted down, picked up a white and fat termite larva, and said: "We really want to catch termites, but not those adult termites, but these fat larvae, adult termites, not tasty."

Chen Bei suddenly realized that it was like a bee pupa, it was fat and delicious when it was still a worm, but after it became a stinging bee, few people ate it anymore, and the taste was not good at all.

With the efforts of the two mountain tribesmen, soon, most of the termites could not stand the smoke and ran away, leaving only those termite larvae who could not move, and the queen who was difficult to move on their own.

At this time, the two "boxes" made of folded leaves are useful, and they put handfuls of termite larvae into the leaf boxes.

The termite nest was so big that it ate all the roots of the dead tree, and it was full of white and fat termite larvae.

They actually filled up the two huge leaf boxes. With such a quantity, Chen Bei was dumbfounded.

He never thought that a colony of termites would have so many larvae. No wonder he always heard about termites eating up empty houses in his previous life. The reproductive power of this creature is really terrible.

After filling the leaf box, Bone Armor clapped his hands and said, "Okay, cover it with leaves, let's go back."

"Wait, leader of the bone armor, isn't that the fattest one?" Chen Bei asked a little puzzled.

Bone Armor said: "That's the queen ant. As long as it stays here, those termites that ran away will come back, and they will build new nests in a short time."

"I can continue to dig next time."

Hey guys, is this still sustainable?Chen Bei didn't know what to say.

The two Chuanshan tribesmen briefly covered the exposed termite nest with fallen leaves, then extinguished the torch to ensure that no fire fell to the ground, and then walked back with the termite larvae in the two-leaf box.

The forest is the home of the tribal people. They care more about fire prevention than anyone else, because once the forest burns, the home and food will be gone.

After returning to the tribe, Chenbei was curious about how they would eat these termite larvae.

In his impression, these larvae are best fried, fried until golden brown, and taste very crisp.

But this is obviously unrealistic in the tribe. Most tribes are very short of oil, and it is impossible to have so much to fry bugs.

Soon, he got the answer.

Bone Armor found a member of the Chuanshan tribe who was said to be the best at cooking termites.

He found a lot of large leaves, completely wrapped two boxes of termite larvae, and tied them with thin vines. After that, he dug a hole in the ground and laid a few burning hot stones underneath.

Afterwards, he went to the fire and picked up a lot of red-hot charcoal, filled it into the pit, spread it on the stones, and spread a layer of leaves on the charcoal fire, and put the leaf box that wrapped the termite larvae in it.

Immediately afterwards, he covered the leaves with another layer of charcoal fire, and finally covered the top with dry plant ash.

An hour later, the person opened the pit and the burnt leaves, revealing the unburnt leaf box inside.

He carefully took out the two leaf boxes, respectfully placed them on a flat boulder, and said to the bone armor, "Boss, it's done."

"Okay, you go down."

The man backed away respectfully.

The bone armor opened the leaves covered in the leaf box, and a faint fragrance spread over the surface.

These termite larvae are all cooked, and because of the protection of the leaves, they are not burnt, nor have they lost too much water, and they are still steaming.

The bone armor said to Chen Bei: "Chief Chen, let's try it."

Chen Bei didn't grab it directly with his hands, but took out his own chopsticks, picked one up and put it in his mouth.

Afterwards, he said in surprise: "It tastes good, and it has a special fragrance."

The delicacy of his own tribe has been recognized, and Bone Armor is obviously very happy.

"Hahaha, everyone, please enjoy this rare delicacy."

Called by the bone armor, Baicao and Lie ate first, and then everyone in the Mang tribe ate a little bit. Everyone was satisfied with the special delicacy of the Chuanshan tribe.

On this day, Chenbei enjoyed a sumptuous feast of termite larvae in the Chuanshan Tribe.
