A leisurely life in ancient times

Chapter 26 Make up your mind

"Jiang Qing, will you still cook bone soup at night?" Kong licked the stone bowl, begging and looking at Jiang Qing.The thin and small man, holding a stone bowl the size of a washbasin, looked very out of place.

Not only was Kong praying, but even the cubs who followed him looked up at Jiang Qing with longing eyes.

it goes without saying.

Jiang Qing was taken aback, then nodded with a smile, and said, "There will be delicious bone soup to drink in the evening, but you can do something for me later, can you?"

"Okay, let me do whatever."

As soon as I heard it, there is bone soup to drink at night.In an instant, these cubs were very happy, and some of them became beasts with excitement.Looking at the cute animal ears on the cub's head, Jiang Qing felt itchy.

The bone soup was almost finished, Jiang Qing climbed away from the fire with a branch, and dug out the sweet potatoes buried inside.

"Jiang Qing, are the lumps ready?" Cao lazily rubbed her stuffed stomach with one hand and planed in the fire with the other.

Jiang Qing poked it with a branch, nodded, and said, "What kind of lumps, this is a sweet potato. I think it's almost ripe. Grass, let everyone dig out the sweet potatoes and eat them."

Thinking that she could eat sweet potatoes, Jiang Qing kept her stomach on purpose when she ate the soup just now.

However, others may not be so lucky!After finally drinking the delicious bone soup, oyster mushroom and wild vegetables, it is natural to eat enough.No, everyone wailed when they heard Cao Cao say that there were still delicious sweet potatoes buried in the fire.

"Jiang Qing, this place, how do you eat sweet potatoes?" Qing awkwardly read the word sweet potato, which was a little hot, but she didn't let go after looking at it curiously. , a little hungry again!
Lang Rui squatted aside, stretched out his pink and tender paws, rolled a sweet potato bigger than him from side to side, making grunts from time to time.

Jiang Qing picked up the chilled sweet potato, stood up, "Peel off the outer skin and eat it directly."

Saying that, he lowered his head and took a bite.Very fragrant and sweet!Compared with the roasted sweet potatoes sold on Tianchao Street, the taste is several times sweeter. If you eat it in one bite, your mouth will be full of sweet potato fragrance.

It's like the sweet potatoes baked by Aunt Fan when I was a child.There is a taste of happiness, once eaten, this taste will never be forgotten.

I don't know, how are Aunt Fan and the others who are far away in the sky?

"It's delicious..." Cao Yu said in a hurry, while not forgetting to stuff sweet potatoes into his mouth, but he was too full from the soup before, and now it is difficult to stuff anything into his stomach.

"Jiang Qing, I regret drinking too much soup just now?"

"Me too, it's killing me!"

"Jiang Qing, I remember you said that sweet potatoes can be stored for a long time, is it true?" Qing ate sweet potatoes, but couldn't help but eat more barbecue and drank a lot of bone soup.But I really can't bear the rare delicacy of sweet potatoes, so I can only take small bites to satisfy my appetite.

Looking at the happy smiling faces of the people in the tribe, Qing breathed a sigh of relief, forgetting how long it had been since everyone in the tribe had eaten so much and still showed such satisfied smiles.

"It's true. Sweet potatoes can be stored for several months in cellars or caves." Jiang Qing nodded. Compared with oyster mushrooms and wild vegetables, sweet potatoes are more practical and convenient.

"That's great. In this way, we don't need to worry about lack of food during the dry season." Qing was ecstatic, but she hadn't forgotten that the sweet potatoes she saw in the woods in the morning could fill at least two or three caves.This is still a preliminary guess, and the real number will not be known until all the sweet potatoes are dug out.

"Aunt Qing, in fact, meat can also be stored..." Jiang Qing looked at the prey piled up in the open space, and she thought, maybe she should think about her next life in the Chasing Wind Tribe.

After all, it is impossible for a person to live in memories all his life.Leaving Zhou Heng and coming here may be the luckiest thing in her life. Here she doesn't need to think about catching up with a few jobs, and doesn't need to think about the monthly living expenses, water and electricity bills...

Maybe, life is a little harder.But compared to before, she felt that her life was fuller and more hopeful.

"What?" At this moment, not only Qing Gao shouted, most people in the tribe stared at Jiang Qing in shock.If meat can also be stored, the dry season may not be difficult for them.

The dry season is tough.The main reason is that it is difficult to hunt prey, and males do not eat meat, so it is difficult to preserve their energy.In order to hunt prey, the male must go hunting even during the dangerous dry season.

"Gulu!" Many people couldn't help swallowing, they were excited and happy.

"...Jiang Qing?" Qing grabbed Jiang Qing's hand fiercely, her tone trembling.

Lang Mo patted Qing's hands lightly, signaling to calm down, "Jiang Qing, can meat really be stored? You know, the tribe has tried many methods before, but none of them succeeded..."

The golden eyes were as deep as an abyss, and they were firmly locked on Jiang Qing. This was more shocking to the tribe than the discovery of oyster mushrooms and wild vegetables.After all, oyster mushrooms and wild vegetables can only change the taste for males.What they really care about is meat. The dry season is tough, mainly because they cannot eat meat, which makes them unable to preserve their energy.

"Yes, but it needs salt." Jiang Qing nodded cautiously.

"Yeah!" With Jiang Qing's affirmative answer, deafening cheers erupted from the tribe in an instant.In China, if meat can be stored, it means a long dry season, and males don't have to worry about being hunted and killed by wild animals.

"It's really great!" Qing happily wiped the tears rolling down from the corners of her eyes, wishing to kiss Jiang Qing's face a few times, rubbing her hands together, and said, "What does Jiang Qing need to prepare, I'll prepare right away..."

With that said, I wish I could do it right away.

With a dark face, Lang Mo said, "Mother Beast, don't you forget that the tribe will hold a half-year festival bonfire tonight? It's not too late to make arrangements for the meat tomorrow."

After a busy morning, Jiang Qing was actually very sleepy. If she hadn't seen everyone's enthusiasm, she would have fallen asleep in all likelihood!When I came here, I hadn't really had a good night's sleep.

"That's right, I forget everything when I'm happy." Qing patted his forehead, said a few words with a smile, told Lang Mo to take good care of Jiang Qing, and left.

She still has things to prepare.

"Jiang Qing, let's prepare to pickle the food for the bonfire tonight." Cao thought about showing off her skills.

Lang Mo pulled Jiang Qing over, frowned and said, "She's a little tired, let's rest for an hour, you can come to her later..."

As he said, he left the open space with Jiang Qing in his arms.

On the other side, Ya stood beside Granny Qian and said happily, "Grandma Qian, Jiang Qing must be the messenger given to us by the Beast God!"

Granny Qian smiled, a kind smile blooming on her wrinkled face.

"Ya, keep an eye on Fanqian." Granny Qian suddenly said something irrelevant, staring at the distant sky with wise eyes, wondering what she was thinking.

"Fanqian, what's wrong with her?" Ya asked confusedly.

Granny Qian shook her head, "I'm not omnipotent, I just can vaguely see some of the future."

"Yes, I see!" Ya nodded.Thinking about it, I will tell Galen later and let him look at Fanqian.Tonight is the half-year festival bonfire meeting, and she needs to be busy with a lot of things.

Seeing that Ya didn't take it seriously, Granny Qian didn't say anything, shook her head and left the open space.
