I'm spoiled in primitive society

Chapter 22 Delicious
Yuan Xi ran to the water's edge again, carefully dipped some water in his mouth and tasted it.

The water was salty and bitter, which made the tip of her tongue tingle.

I don't know where the strength came from, and I climbed up to the entrance of the cave in twos and threes, knocking down the grass that blocked the entrance of the cave.

Looking at the past with the faint light, the water surface is very wide, and there is no end in sight, but there is a feeling of getting lower as you go inward.

The waterside is full of white or light yellow crystals, presumably salt crystals formed naturally through natural volatilization.

There are so many crystals, enough for the entire tribe to use for several lifetimes.

Yuan Xi forgot how painful the fall was, and forgot that the clothes were still sticky to her body, and she only wanted to take some crystals back to the tribe.

Although the search for the cave was thwarted, the discovery of the salt mine was enough to make up for this regret.

The crystals are very strong, Yuan Xi's small arms and legs even kicked and planed, but only a small piece not much bigger than her head was removed.

It was already evening when they climbed out of the cave.

The sun is setting to the west, and the hot temperature has become gentle. It is time for Yu to come back.

Concerned about Yu's injury, she only rested for a short while, and after hiding the entrance of the cave again and making a mark, she went down the mountain with the crystal in her arms.

It is said that it is easy to go up the mountain and difficult to go down the mountain. The ancients did not deceive me.

Halfway through the stumbling walk, someone called her name from the foot of the mountain.Yu's familiar voice wafted through the mountains. He came to look for her, with anxiety and worry in his voice.

Hearing Yu's voice, Yuan Xi was as excited as if he had been beaten with chicken blood. He was instantly revived with full blood, as if all the exhaustion in his body had been driven away, and he ran down the mountain happily.

Soon I saw Yu's tall figure, holding the crystal in his left hand, and waving his right hand desperately, "Yu, I'm here, I'm here."

When Yu returned to the tribe, he didn't see his female beast, and no one knew where she had gone. He was so anxious that he wanted to go out to find her.Just at the entrance of the tribe, I met Lin and Zhuo who were running back.

Hearing that his female beast went into the mountain to find a cave, he was very anxious.There are many wild beasts on the mountain, and there are dangers everywhere. His female beast is so soft and small, if it encounters danger, it will be killed.

So, he hurried out with a javelin in his hand, and Zhi followed closely.

Yu heard the shout and looked up, and saw his female beast standing on the mountainside and waving at him, letting go of his tightly clenched heart, joy welling up in his heart, and he was so happy that he ran up the mountain with all his strength.

Yuan Xi threw herself into Yu's arms with the inertia of running down, Yu stretched out her arms to catch him, her legs were wrapped around his waist, and she said excitedly, "Yu, I found the salt, is it serious? "

Yu didn't know what salt was, he only knew that his baby was fine and nothing happened.

He originally wanted to give her a good lesson, but seeing her happy look and the sparkle in her eyes, he swallowed back the words that had come to his lips.

"The mountain is very dangerous, don't go up the mountain casually in the future." His tone was very soft and gentle, as if he was not the one who made up his mind to discipline her just now.And he was just a gentle husband who came to take his wife home.

Yuan Xi was still immersed in the joy of finding the salt, and failed to understand Yu's worry and fear in time. She hugged his face and kissed him on the lips, "It's fun on the mountain. Look, I've marked it all. I won’t get lost. And there aren’t any wild animals on the mountain, so it’s safe.”

After hearing this, Yu pulled his face down displeasedly, and patted her little butt hard, "That's not okay, I'll be worried."

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you from now on." Yuan Xi didn't want to make Yu angry, so she admitted her mistake obediently, rubbing her limp body against him.As for how to do it in the future, we will talk about it later.

Yu hugged her and turned back down the mountain, Yuan Xi struggled out of his confinement and shouted loudly, "Salt, my salt."

Zhi ran over to pick up the white stone and turned back down the mountain. He didn't know what salt was, but he would take it back with what Yu's mother beast wanted.

Mu Ma knew that Yuan Xi was not in the tribe, and she was also very worried, so she stood at the entrance of the tribe and looked around.Seeing Yu coming back with her in his arms, he happily came to greet her.

"Bao, where have you been, Yu is in a hurry."

Yuan Xi jumped down from Yu's arms, grabbed Mu Ma's hand, her eyes glistened with excitement.

"Mom, I found something good, and I'll give you a taste later."

Muma doesn't care about good things, as long as Yu and Bao are good.

Sitting in front of the fire, Yuan Xi couldn't help complaining again.If you use such a small stone pot to boil salt, when will you be able to have a meal for everyone?

It seems that Yu has to get a few larger stone pots, but today he can only use it first, and it's all about exploring the way.

She smashed the crystal with a stone, chose a small crystal and put it in the boiling water, and the crystal melted after a while.After boiling, pour out the clear water above, and throw away the impurities at the bottom.

Dip your little finger in salt water and taste it in your mouth. Although it is just a simple boiling and filtering, the bitter taste is eliminated a lot.

Yu sat next to her and watched her toss around for half a day just for half a bowl of water, and Bao could actually turn heavy stones into water, which subverted his cognition of stones, and he was shocked and did not understand.In their eyes, stones can only be made into tools.

He leaned over to her and asked, "What is this?"

Yuan Xi rolled her eyes mischievously, and told him mysteriously, "Yu, this is salt water. After a while, the meat is roasted and dipped in this, it's delicious."

Meeting Yu's suspicious gaze, Yuan Xi once again puffed up her chest proudly, "It's true, if you don't believe me, try it for a while."

Yu looked at her lovingly and smiled. It didn't matter if it didn't taste good, anyway, in his heart, whatever his mother beast did was right.

When the barbecue was finally cooked, the female beasts divided it into leaves and placed it in front of everyone. Everyone sat down and began to enjoy it.

It was finally time for her to show her talents.

Yuan Xi carefully put the salt water in front of her legs, tore off a large piece of leg meat, picked up a small piece, dipped it in the salt water, and brought it to Yu's mouth. "Yu, you taste it first."

Yu actually didn't want to eat it.But his female beast looked at him eagerly, making him reluctant to refuse.Don't say it's just a piece of meat dipped in water, even if you let him drink that bowl of water, he won't frown, as long as the baby is happy.

Yu rolled the meat into his mouth with his tongue, tried to chew it twice, frowned slightly, then speeded up his chewing, and quickly swallowed the meat.

"Is it delicious?" Yuan Xi leaned on his shoulder and asked him with a smile.Like a child who has done good deeds, waiting for the praise of adults.

Yu nodded honestly.Food tasted better when it was dipped in salt water, he couldn't say what it was like, but he thought it was much better. "tasty."

Yuan Xi proudly raised her face, "I'll just say it, you still don't believe it."

After speaking, she picked up another piece of meat, dipped it in a little salt water, put it into her mouth, closed her eyes, and chewed intoxicated.

Salty and fragrant, it is really delicious.

Yu quickly dismantled several bones, dipped them in salt water and brought them to his mouth to chew.While eating, he nodded vigorously and praised, "It's delicious and fragrant."
