Chapter 54 Throwing the Flint?
The next day.

When Shi Miao just woke up, she turned around and saw Uncle Ge waving at her.

Startled, Shi Miao shrank back a bit, almost not falling off the hammock.

Jin Jin watched Shi Miao almost fall from the tree and jumped to Shi Miao's side from the tree, and yelled fiercely at Uncle Ge twice.

"I said uncle, what are you doing so early in the morning?"

Shi Miao, as the first person to get up in the team, usually wakes up after six o'clock in the morning, but now looking at Uncle Ge in front of her, she was shocked.

"Hey, when people get older, they tend to sleep less. Old man, I woke up at 05:30. It's not because I moved my little ones here because you slept soundly, and I played Tai Chi nearby. Now I'm a little hungry, so I came to see if you woke up, and I wanted to ask when you make breakfast."

Uncle Ge showed three yellowish front teeth and touched his stomach all over his face.

Shi Miao: "..."

After getting off the hammock, Shi Miao looked at Uncle Ge angrily: "There is no pot in the morning, so you can eat some wild fruits in the basket to fill your stomach."

"Hey, don't worry about that. I happen to have the old man here, but I can't make a fire and I can't cook, so I have never used it."

Uncle Ge smiled and bent down to take out a pot from one of his big cloth bags and held it up with a smile on his face.

The most obsessed thing in his life is designing buildings, personally supervising and watching the completion of one project after another. Before cooking, his wife had always done it, and he himself knew nothing about it.

So when he came here, the pot that his wife put in for him was always idle.

Looking at the pot in Uncle Ge's hand that was half the size of theirs, Shi Miao choked again.

However, it is also good to have a pot.

They will stay here for a day today, and eating barbecue is not a problem.

"Seeing that you are doing well here, you should know the water vine, right? You take the pot to fetch water, and I will find something to cook, and then come back to light the fire."

"Hey, I didn't expect the little girl to know about water vines, no problem, I'll solve the water source."

Uncle Ge smiled and took his pot into the woods.

"Jinjin, go nearby to see if there are any fish washed by the waves, if there are any, bring back one or two."

"Squeak~"

Jin Jin bouncing around looking for a direction to find fish by the sea.

Shi Miao first washed her face with biting sea water, and then asked the Neptune to take her to find Erye sweet potato.

It's not a big deal to have a lot of fish and meat every day. She kind of misses that Aunt Liu made sweet potato soup a few days ago.

After digging five sweet potatoes, I picked some wild vegetables nearby and washed them.

Shi Miao picked up some dry firewood from the woods and started a fire.

Uncle Ge acted very quickly, he came back in ten minutes, and when he came back, there was more than half of the pot of water in the pot in his hand.

"Girl, the water is here, what shall we eat this morning?"

"Sweet potato soup."

Shi Miao took the pot from Uncle Ge's hand, put the pot on the fire, and then heated it up by himself.

After six o'clock, the wind by the sea was still a bit cool, Shi Miao couldn't help but shivered.

"Sweet potato soup? It sounds pretty good."

When Uncle Ge saw the medium-sized sweet potatoes next to Shi Miao, he couldn't help swallowing.

He knew sweet potatoes, but he dug them out and ate them raw once when he came here the day before yesterday.

I didn't expect to have sweet potato soup today.

Speaking of which, he still misses his old wife steaming sweet potatoes for breakfast.

"Ah."

Shi Miao nodded.

"Speaking of which, little girl, how do you live, teach the old man as well."

"Flintstones."

Shi Miao's tone was calm, and he took out two flints from his waist and gave Uncle Ge a look.

"Such a thin strip can make a fire quickly?"

Uncle Ge's pupils widened in an instant, and his eyes instantly became astonished and complicated.

He...was one of those in the mess his wife packed him.

But after riding the horse, he looked through the things in the bag and didn't know what they were for. He thought they were taking up space and threw them away.

He went back to look for it now, and he didn't know if it was too late.

"Well, rub a flint and steel against something combustible and you'll get a fire."

Shi Miao nodded slightly.

Seeing Uncle Ge's astonished expression, a bold guess was made in an instant: "You don't have this thing but you don't know how to use it?"

Uncle Ge quickly blew his beard and stared: "Who... who said that! I don't know this thing!"

"Oh~ so it is."

Shi Miao immediately had an answer in his heart.

"So what about the flint and steel, since we will be partners in the future, you don't need to make a fire anyway, so keep it for me so that you don't lose it."

"I... I said I didn't."

Uncle Ge turned his head away, and after two seconds of silence, he turned his head angrily.

"Okay, okay, I don't know what that thing is for, I threw it away a long time ago."

Shi Miao: "..."

That's great my uncle.

Shi Miao suddenly began to have some doubts, whether she was an ancient person, or the old man in front of her.

A few minutes later, Jin Jin ran back bouncing back with a turbot in his left hand, a blue crab in his right, and two octopuses on his tail.

"Squeak~"

Jin Jin took the food and danced around in front of Shi Miao before putting it all back into the basket.

“Gingin is awesome!”

Seeing Jin Jin's funny appearance, Shi Miao couldn't help laughing softly.

Jin Jin, who was praised, once again covered her face in embarrassment, squeaked twice, and jumped into the woods.

"Where did you pick up this monkey? Why is it so humane? If it weren't for the fur covering its body, I would think it was a human being."

Uncle Ge looked at Jin Jin's leaving back, and became very interested in Jin Jin.

"Monkeys have a high IQ, and their learning ability is very strong. It is normal for them to be good at imitation."

Shi Miao nodded slightly.

She kept silent about the fact that Jin Jin was a mutant creature.

The word 'mutation' is attached to many things, which can easily arouse the curiosity of others and want to conduct further research on them.

Although the main force of the alliance is not here now, they can hear and see everything here through the live broadcast room.

Since Jin Jin is her partner now, she doesn't want someone to take Jin Jin away one day and send him to the dissection table.

"What you said makes sense, but the water is boiling, so hurry up and get the food!"

Compared with these, Uncle Ge was more anxious to eat.

Shi Miao didn't say anything, cut the sweet potatoes into large pieces and put them in the pot. After the sweet potatoes were almost cooked, they put in the wild vegetables that could be eaten after soaking in water, and then covered the pot again.

After Shi Miao uncovered the pot again, Uncle Ge became impatient, picked up a chopstick and inserted a piece of sweet potato into his mouth.

For the elderly, this kind of soft and glutinous food is the most popular. It is the first time to eat cooked food here. Uncle Ge nodded contentedly after eating a piece of sweet potato.

"The little girl is good at cooking."
