The prince of heaven only wants salted fish
Chapter 184: Primitive Orc Sacrifice (7)
The residents of the Aludulu tribe couldn't believe their eyes.
What did they see? Did they see it right?
How did Hua and Xiu make fire out of branches under Ji's command?
That was super precious fire! ! !
"...Is there something wrong with my eyes?"
"That looks like fire!"
"Ji can actually make fire!!"
Even though the weather is hot now, the hearts of the Aludulu residents can't help but get restless.
That's fire! ! It can keep them safe! It can keep them warm when the cold winter comes! !
The two brothers Hua and Xiu also proudly straightened their chests: Although this is the second time they have made a flame by rubbing it themselves, it is the first time in front of others after all!
However, Ji Cheng was not here to show the orcs how to make fire by drilling wood. Before Hua Hexiu could be proud for too long, he asked the two brothers to move two larger stones and put them on both sides of the fire. Then Ji Cheng used wet firewood to build a spiral structure on the stones. It was not a problem for His Royal Highness to come up with this spiral structure, but in order to synchronize the movements of his hands, he practiced this broken structure in the house for three days.
But in short, he was quite successful at this moment.
After building the spiral structure, Ji Cheng directly put the stone pot that Hua Hexiu had polished on it. It was called a stone pot, but considering the roughness of the craftsmanship in this era, the concave shape of this pot was more like a plate.
There was some water in it, and when the water in the pot was gradually burned by the fire and bubbled, Ji Cheng threw in the share of meat he had received during the hunt the day before. In order to prevent it from spoiling, he had specially wrapped the meat and hid it in a cool cave.
When the aroma of broth gradually emerged from the pot, Ji Cheng also threw a handful of wild vegetables just picked from his vegetable garden into it, and then he took out a branch that he had washed in the ditch and stirred the contents of the pot in a formal manner.
Soon a slight burnt smell emanated from the stone pot.
Ji Cheng smelled the smell and immediately scooped a bucket of water to pour on the fire.
Although the Aludulu tribe did not develop and utilize wooden and stone utensils at a high rate, they already had some basic skills in using vines to make ropes and processing animal skins. Wooden barrels were not easy to make, but during this period Ji Cheng had asked someone to tinker with a small bucket made of animal skins. Although the water holding capacity was not as good as that of a barrel of special specifications, it was much better than the small wooden bowl that Ji had used before.
When the residents of Aludulu saw Ji Cheng raise his hand to extinguish the precious fire, they screamed in distress: "Ji, what are you doing?!"
This is fire! !
If they hadn't seen that the fire was made by Ji Cheng himself, the tribesmen would have tied him to the altar and offered him to the gods again.
Ji Cheng's face was not good either, but it had nothing to do with the fire. It was mainly because he once again realized that he had suffered another Waterloo in a delicate activity that required the participation of his hands.
However, the current conditions would definitely not allow him to do it again - and looking at the Aludulu tribe, they didn't even know what cooking was, so there should be no one who could help Ji Cheng.
So the Crown Prince pretended to know nothing and said seriously: "I started the fire, and I can light it again if necessary."
He pretended to be indifferent, and after the temperature of the stone pot cooled down, he asked Hua Hexiu to lift the pot out, and divided the soup in it into different small bowls, and took the initiative to greet the beastmen: "Do you want to try it?"
After saying that, he also set an example by picking up a bowl and drinking it: Sure enough, there were some burnt places, and I don’t know if it was his cooking problem or the wrong combination of wild vegetables and meat, and there was a strange bitter taste.
After swallowing a bowl of bitter soup, the Crown Prince remained calm on the surface to maintain his face, but secretly vowed in his heart: I must train a good chef as soon as possible! !
However, this bowl of soup was made like this, even a confident Ji Cheng began to doubt whether he could get others to take the bait today.
And the residents of the Aludulu tribe saw Ji Cheng’s actions and finally realized what he was trying to do.
They didn't know much about the cooking skills of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. They only knew that they had not eaten much in the past few days. Seeing that Ji Cheng had cooked the meat from his share and was the first to "test the poison", they had no doubts in their hearts. They took the initiative to take a small bowl and drank it all in one gulp, imitating Ji Cheng's actions.
Some people were slow and didn't grab a bowl at all. They looked at the person who had just drunk the soup: "Hey, how is it?"
Ji Cheng looked confident on the surface, but in fact he was already thinking about how to fool the residents of the Aludulu tribe next time.
Who knew that the beastmen who drank the soup all widened their eyes and showed shocked expressions: "This, this..."
They suddenly turned to Ji Cheng: "Ji, can I have a little more?"
Hua Hexiu, who claimed to have a close relationship with Ji Cheng, had already quickly picked up the stone pot to pour himself another bowl.
Ji Cheng: “…?”
Soon the wild vegetable and meat soup was divided up by the beastmen. They even thought it was not enough, so they put the pot back on after getting Ji Cheng’s consent. Those who still had meat at home went to get some, and those who had not grabbed a bowl just now also ran back to get their own bowl.
However, wild vegetables can only be found in Jicheng's fields. Jicheng only gave the wild vegetables that were ripe and ready for picking to the orcs. After everyone picked them in a hurry, they started making soup like Jicheng did before.
This time Jicheng said that he was tired and asked everyone to change the person in charge of the spoon. He could just provide guidance.
It was also while waiting for the water to boil again that Jicheng understood the thoughts of the orcs who had just tasted the first pot of fresh food——
"Although it has a strange bitter taste, the taste is very novel," Xiu said bluntly, "I really want to try it again."
Jicheng: "?"
Maybe this is the version of the orc world that Ganhao will watch again?
Hua also smacked his lips: "And that leaf... uh, is it grass? It tastes very good! It's very chewy and tastes better than all the grass I've eaten before! By the way! After eating it, I still feel I am very powerful!”
Jicheng: "..."

In order to plant this batch of wild vegetables, he used his mental power to send spiritual energy to them nearly ten times. If someone else had done the planting, this batch of wild vegetables would have almost become wild vegetables with this irrigation method. Therefore, it would be strange if you don’t feel your strength increases after eating it.
Another orc girl named Ling, who has been Ji's playmate since childhood, said: "Everyone hasn't eaten enough for a long time. Adding water to the food makes it feel like there is more food, and it feels like we are full." Same!"
Jicheng: "."
Is this barely a logical and normal reason?
Although the principle of "drinking soup to fill your belly" is summed up by Ling, it always makes people feel that something is strange.
But in any case, although the taste of Jicheng's first pot of soup was not very good, thanks to the residents of the Aludulu tribe, they had never eaten cooked food before, so they unexpectedly thought it was good, and therefore , everyone finally understood Jicheng’s good intentions in growing vegetables on the river bank.
They had never thought that these tasteless grass blades could be eaten in such a delicious way!
Especially when Jicheng accidentally mentioned that if crops can be grown on a large scale, they can also find ways to catch small animals such as rabbits and pheasants and raise them directly in the tribe - then everyone will no longer have to risk their lives to go out. It’s hunting!
For a time, the entire Aludulu tribe became enthusiastic about planting. The members of the hunting team went out every day no longer just to find prey - in fact, it was difficult for them to find prey because the weather was too dry now - but to find if there were any. Delicious plants that taste good and can be transplanted back into the tribe.
As for the ordinary tribesmen who were not very powerful in combat and did not usually go out hunting, they started farming under the guidance of Jicheng.
Is this grass delicious? kind! Is there any delicious millet grown there? kind! Or will the tree produce delicious fruit at the end of the dry season? All kinds of things!
Jicheng didn't actually know much about farming, but at least he had worried about the development of human bases when he was in the last world. He had been exposed to it with He Jianjian and they had some understanding of the basic steps of planting, such as plowing pine trees. Soil, pay attention to watering and irrigating, some crops cannot accept too strong light, etc., etc. Although his practical skills are relatively lacking, he is more than enough to guide and guide as a dog-headed military advisor - not to mention when necessary He can also cheat with his aura.
In addition, there are a lot of residents in the Aludulu tribe, and their strength is greater with more people. They actually feed a lot of transplanted crops.
Hua even found a kind of rice next to the river they found before. After biting open the outer shell with his teeth, there would be a very delicious millet inside, which was also filling. They successfully brought it back and transplanted it.
With these crops and the soup-making method "invented" by Jicheng, perhaps the prey brought back by the hunting team and the wild vegetables grown are not enough in themselves, but as long as they are boiled into soup, basically everyone Everyone can eat some - although it may not be enough for everyone, but this dry season, no one in the Aludulu tribe will starve to death.
Time seemed to have a tail. In a blink of an eye, the sun above my head was no longer as bright as it was at the beginning, and bursts of fruity fragrance began to waft out of the forest.
Usually by this time, the crisis of famine during the dry season has passed.
The hunting teams, which had long shouldered the task of gathering, would often bring back fruits from the forest while their prey harvests were plentiful again: they had woven rattans so that they could bring back fruits in baskets.
In previous years, this kind of fruit could no longer be eaten after this season, so hunting teams generally would not bring back too much. However, this year, Jicheng, who has a rich knowledge base, has already found someone to conduct experiments, and successfully dried them to determine the storage time. Long dried fruit. Therefore, the hunting team is more careless when bringing things back. Sometimes they feel that there are not enough manpower, so they have to organize another team to go into the forest to collect.
Dried fruits need to be dried while the weather is still dry, so everyone hurry up - after all, famine is only a rare occurrence in the dry season. When it snows in winter and no grass grows, it is really a crisis every year. In the past, everyone had no other way. While there are still plenty of prey, I try my best to stock up on more, and then try not to go out in winter to reduce calorie consumption. Now that I have dried fruits, I believe this winter will be more comfortable than in previous years.
In a tense and busy atmosphere, the Aludulu tribe finally ushered in the first heavy rain at the end of this year's dry season.
