A leisurely life in ancient times

Chapter 18 Bone Soup
Looking at the busy females around the campfire, Jiang Qingyang opened her face and chatted with Qing and Cao in a low voice.She was not sure whether the food of the primitive era was the one she knew, and she had to make complete preparations.

"Grass, besides barbecue, what else do you eat?"

Grass was pleasantly surprised to eat the barbecue, the rich meat aroma was several times more fragrant than the ones he ate before.Before I knew it, I ate more than twice as much grass as before, and finally I couldn't eat any more, so I gave up!

"Guozi, the barbecue is too greasy. Females don't dare to eat too much, because it's easy to spoil their stomachs." Cao licked her fingers contentedly, her small eyes were still looking at the bonfire, and the barbecue meat was overflowing with fragrance.

The prey, which is usually enough to eat two meals, was eaten in one meal after being smeared with salt.

Jiang Qing looked around, and there were hundreds of people in the Zhufeng tribe, compared to the tribe with only a few dozen people.The Wind Chasing Tribe can be regarded as a large tribe. In addition, the Wind Chasing Tribe has a relatively high geographical location, which can defend against wild beasts, droughts and floods.

"You don't eat vegetables?" Looking around, there were a dozen or so cubs running in the open space, the oldest was about fourteen or five years old, and the youngest was two or three years old. They played and played, adding a lot of vitality to the tribe.

However, compared to adult males and females, these cubs are thin and look a little malnourished.

"What are vegetables?" Qing asked curiously, Cao also had a confused expression.

Jiang Qing took a breath, not expecting them to know what vegetables are, calmed down, Jiang Qing looked out of the open space, and suddenly landed on a wild vegetable.

Go forward, pick the wild vegetables, and shake the soil on the wild vegetables.It's very fresh, very tender, and you can tell it will be delicious when you look at it. After all, it is difficult to eat such authentic wild vegetables in China.

"This is a wild vegetable, a type of vegetable." He waved the wild vegetable in his hand, and there were three or four stone jars piled up next to the campfire. The texture was good, and it should be used for stewing.

Before the food was settled, Jiang Qing couldn't help but start to figure out how to eat it!

Jiang Qing can't be blamed for being a foodie, it's because the food here is too bad, she doesn't want to die early, she thinks it is necessary to rise up!Otherwise, she would definitely be the one who got tricked in the end.

"Isn't this a weed? I tasted it, and it tastes bitter." Qing shook her head. As the spouse of the former patriarch, Qing was not only responsible for the daily life of the tribe, but also responsible for finding new food.

Jiang Qing chuckled twice, and found many of the same wild vegetables nearby.

"Wild vegetables have to be fried or boiled before they can be eaten, and they taste mediocre when eaten raw." Jiang Qing explained with a smile. It seems that it's not that there were too few foods in the primitive era, but that they didn't know how to eat them.

"Do you know how to eat?" Cao's eyes lit up immediately, looking at Jiang Qing with burning eyes.

Around, other females who were close to each other looked at Jiang Qing.With the lessons learned from the barbecue, everyone has great trust in Jiang Qing.

Jiang Qing suddenly felt a sense of Alexander!

Lang Mo tightened his eyebrows and stared at the weeds in Jiang Qing's hands. He remembered that such weeds were everywhere near the tribe.If it is really edible as Jiang Qing said, maybe the tribe can survive this dry season safely.

"Can you eat?"

It was a matter of the survival of the tribe, Lang Mo's tone was a little hurried, and his stern face was full of expectations.The Beast God Continent is full of crises, and the Chasing Wind Tribe has survived vicissitudes until now, and the bitterness of it can't be explained clearly in a few words.

Jiang Qing nodded.

Meeting the eyes full of longing, Jiang Qing said slowly: "In my tribe, this kind of wild vegetables are not the only ones that can be eaten, birds and animals, swimming in the water, walking on land...you can eat them all. .”

After hearing this, deafening cheers erupted in the open space.

"Then, do you mean... we won't be hungry in the future?" Cao stammered.

hungry?

The word Jiang Qing is not unfamiliar, but it is a long memory.

"I will do my best!"

Facing these expectant eyes, she dared not lie, that would be a blasphemy to life.

With a cold face, Lang Mo embraced Jiang Qing with great caution, and held her firmly in his arms.Whispered: "Thank you!"

Jiang Qing froze, shyness flashed across her face.

In fact, she did nothing.Facing Lang Mo's gratitude, she felt guilty.

After the roast, the males will go out hunting, while the females go about their day picking up the remains in the clearing.Under the escort of the males, they search for new food around the tribe. The dry season is gradually approaching, and they need to prepare for the upcoming dry season.

Store enough food to survive the long dry season.

"and many more--"

I saw the female gathering the bones in the clearing together, intending to throw them away.Jiang Qing felt that it was a waste, and hurriedly stopped her.

"What's the matter?" Qing followed Jiang Qing, Lang Mo was not yet married, and the daily life of the tribe was arranged by Qing and several older females.

"How did you deal with these bones before?" Jiang Qing pointed to the three to four meter long and wide stone slab in the open space.There are many bones piled on it, and some leftover minced meat.It is estimated that the internal organs were buried together when the skin was peeled!
"The bones are not tasty, and they are usually buried in the most remote places of the tribe! To avoid attracting wild beasts to attack." Lan stood aside and explained softly.He looked at Jiang Qing eagerly, and looked at Qing enviously.

When will that boy of his family find a female for her?
"Buried?"

It's a waste of precious things, and there are many ways to eat the bones.The simplest is to use it to boil bone broth and supplement calcium.

"What's wrong?" Seeing Jiang Qing's surprised face, Qing asked.

Jiang Qing looked at the bones on the stone slab, and then at the huge stone jar beside the bonfire not far away, and a thought rose in her heart, "It's too wasteful, the bones are delicious for making soup, and it can also supplement the lack of human body." calcium element."

"Make soup?" Everyone looked at Jiang Qing inexplicably.

"Yes, make soup." Jiang Qing nodded, pointing to the stone jar not far away and asked, "Aunt Qing, what is that stone jar usually used for?"

Qingben wanted Jiang Qing to call her Beast Mother, but Jiang Qing was too embarrassed to call her, so in the end Lang Mo compromised and asked Jiang Qing to call her Auntie.Among the orcs who are familiar with each other in the tribe, they call the elders Uncle and Aunt.It's not much different from the name of the Celestial Dynasty. Jiang Qing did as the Romans did, so she called Qing Aunt Qing.

Following Jiang Qing's line of sight, she looked over and said, "This stone jar is used for offering sacrifices, and it is usually cleaned occasionally, so it is not very useful."

"Would the bonfire stand under the stone jar work?"

"It can be used, Jiang Qing, what are you going to do?"

Jiang Qing smiled mysteriously, "Make soup, Aunt Lan, can you ask some people to help clean these bones, then put them in the stone jar, and fill the stone jar with two-thirds of the water."

"Yes." Lan nodded, except for the purpose of offering sacrifices, this stone jar is rarely used on weekdays.

Among the tribes, they also tried to use stone jars to stew meat and eat it boiled.However, the taste is too weak, and the male tastes boring.Only females will taste it, and if things go on like this, few people in the tribe are willing to take the trouble to stew meat.

The other females next to them heard that there was something delicious.Immediately, she moved swiftly to follow Lan, wrapped the bones in animal skins, and walked towards the tribe's river, where Qing arranged for three females to clean the stone jars and add water.

"Jiang Qing, how long will this bone soup be boiled?" Cao swallowed, with the smell of meat still in her mouth, she carried a large bundle of firewood to the bonfire where the stone jar was, and prepared to light a fire to cook the soup.

Jiang Qing looked up at the sky, thought for a while, and said, "At noon, the longer the bone soup is boiled, the better it tastes. I'll prepare all these later. Let's go for a walk in the woods."
