Unless this world integrates magic into the development of civilization and then embarks on a new path...

The backward development of civilization represents inconvenience in all aspects such as transportation and trade. In addition to the extremely favorable natural conditions of a city built naturally on a seaport and the existence of a city similar to a 'capital' level, the size of an ordinary village is estimated to be Not much bigger than that.

Therefore, finding these villages is not as easy as imagined.

In other words, it is possible to find human villages, but this needs to be done after completing the day's mission.

Thanks to gifts from well-intentioned people, I got flint. Having flint means that I can make fire. With fire, the types of food that can be cooked have greatly increased.

There are bass in the water, mushrooms at the foot of the tree, and bird eggs that can be found in bird nests.Even though I don’t have any condiments now, it’s much better to have something to eat than to just eat fruits.

"Let's go." After picking up the fireballs resting next to the extinguished fire and grabbing a few wooden guns, Xia Yu walked towards the small lake he discovered yesterday.

No matter what, I have to catch a few fish for myself today to be satisfied!

————————————————————————

It's so hard for me...

On the bank of the river, Xia Yu, who was kneeling on the ground, looked at the black-backed bass swimming in the lake with desperate eyes.

The depth of the lake is not enough to drown people. Even in the deepest position, his head can still be kept above the water level. The clear lake water is also very convenient for Xia Yu to search for the location of fish in the lake.

But what Xia Yu never expected was that it would be so difficult to catch them. When they heard the sound of wooden spears breaking through the water, each fish could swim two or three meters away from the place in an instant. , the unscientific speed is like loading all the attribute points into agility and agility.

Why is it so easy to stab a fish with a spear in movies and TV shows, but when it comes to doing it yourself, it becomes a hell of a job?

There is no chance, how to catch this?Let’s continue to be vegetarian.

Xia Yu turned around and collapsed on the grass to empty his mind. When he turned his head to look for his red slime, the blue round ball that suddenly appeared in his field of vision scared Xia Yu and he sat up immediately.

This is... about the same size and shape as my own red tutuan. It has the same cute big round eyes. The only difference is that the color of the little guy is sky blue.For some reason, Xia Yu could vaguely feel that this standard blue slime was not hostile to him either.

The blue slime, which was only slightly larger than a fist, was staring blankly at the mint leaves in his pants pocket. It looked extremely anxious as it bounced left and right. "Do you want to eat this?" Although he didn't know if it could understand his words, Xia Yu still placed the mint leaves collected on the road in front of the little guy.

(I.e.

The blue slime reacted exactly the same as his own red slime. After wrapping the mint leaves and digesting it, the blue slime trembled all over and showed a satisfied look. He looked at his big eyes with dazzling luster and said affectionately. After rubbing his palm, the little blue ball, which was only slightly larger than his fist, jumped to the shore of the lake.

Then, a few drops of blue liquid flowed out of the little guy's body and flowed into the lake.

What is this going to do?Xia Yu, who was interested, quietly looked at Lan Tuantuan with a serious expression. After a while, the sound of gurgling coming from the lake caught Xia Yu's attention.

In Xia Yu's surprised eyes, the bass that he couldn't catch with all his efforts was actually wrapped in several water bubbles and slowly floated towards the lake shore. No matter how hard the black-backed bass struggled in it, it couldn't catch it. Get away.

Is this magic?incredible! !

After taking a few glances at the black-backed bass tumbling on the ground on the shore, Xia Yu picked up the small blue ball on the ground as if he had found a treasure.Different from the warm feel of red slime, the first feeling this little blue guy gave me was refreshing.

Blue, like water magic skills, coolness... According to Xia Yu's inference, this newly picked up slime should be a slime with water attribute. By analogy, red and warm, the red lump he got yesterday It's most likely a fire-attribute slime.

Since water-attribute slimes can drive lake water, fire-attribute slimes should also have similar skills. The gurgling sound from his stomach interrupted Xia Yu's thinking. From morning to now, Xia Yu has only eaten Two fruits are used to satisfy hunger.

But it's different now.

Wild onions, sand ginger, cherry tomatoes, shiitake mushrooms, in addition to four plump blackback bass!Although there was no salt as seasoning, Xia Yu was moved to tears by the big upgrade in food.

I didn’t expect that survival in the wild would be so difficult. It’s really not easy to have a full meal...

————————————————————————

The crackling sound of grease came from the bass meat on the sticks. Xia Yu, who was sitting by the campfire, and the two slimes who were looking at the bass and shiitake mushroom skewers on the sticks and didn't know what they were thinking, were enjoying the time quietly. the passage of.

Just as Xia Yu guessed, the red fireballs also spurted out one or two sparks after he pointed at the pile of dry branches and successfully lit the bonfire.Although he felt a little sorry for the kind person who gave him flint, Xia Yu still wanted to say that fire slime is much more convenient than flint!

Since there is no iron pot, even if Xia Yukong has good cooking skills, the cooking method can only be limited to a single method of barbecue.

How to handle fish is a routine matter for a professional chef. Scrape the scales, disembowel the fish and remove the internal organs. Clean it and knead it with slices of ginger and wild onions to remove the fishy smell. Finally, cut it with the mushrooms. Cut it into large pieces and skewer it with thin branches and start grilling. The preparation of the most original game fish meal is completed.

This purely ecological wild bass...if you give yourself enough seasonings and side dishes, you can definitely make flowers for it!Looking at the grilled mushroom and fish skewers, Xia Yu squeezed the juice from the cherry tomatoes onto the surface of the skewers to complete the final step.

Grilled fish with shiitake mushrooms without salt or spices...that's all, it's much better than eating nothing at all, and the onion and ginger also play a role in removing the fishy smell, even if it's not as good as the various fish dishes I can make. , at least the fishy smell has been eliminated.

Just as Xia Yu picked up the skewer and was about to put it into his mouth, a black figure about 1.4 meters tall suddenly jumped out from the bushes, causing Xia Yu to turn his head.

With dark skin, a body that looks lean but still has exquisite muscular lines, the unknown humanoid creature wrapped in extremely primitive leather pants has a head of thick beige hair, and the mask on its face depicts various things that it cannot understand. texture.

"Ya!!"

Chapter 4 Blessing doge from the shaman

Aboriginal?Savage?The appearance of the unknown humanoid creature made Xia Yu panic. Although the opponent was only as high as his own chest, his powerful and streamlined muscles were incomparable to him.

Especially the 'ya' that the unknown humanoid creature just said! ' A roar. If compared to animals on earth, the roar of humanoid creatures obviously has a warning meaning.

The fear stems from the unknown. I don't know the opponent's strength, speed, whether he can use magic, or whether he can eat people.If a fight breaks out, there is a high probability that the one who will suffer will be himself.

You can only treat a dead horse as a living doctor. No matter how you look at it, grilled fish that is fragrant but without salt tastes better than me!Xia Yu quickly took out a skewer from the mushroom grilled fish skewers and handed it to the unknown humanoid creature.

A quick shadow flashed by, and Xia Yu, who felt a light touch on his hand, found that the grilled skewers he was holding had been snatched away by the other party. The unknown creature, who was looking at the grilled fish skewers he had made, gently touched each piece of fish and mushrooms. .

"mita!nye...yemosimitagusha?biat!"

Xia Yu couldn't understand the language at all, and the humanoid creature looked a little angry, but in the end it didn't attack. The humanoid creature, which kept mumbling, picked out the fish part from the wooden stick and stuffed it into the whole piece. into his mouth, and then stopped acting as if the pause button had been pressed.

"mita! nye...gushaika, yamuhegusha!?" The humanoid creature holding the skewer looked a little confused. It turned around and looked at the mushrooms on the wooden skewer with great confusion.

Seeing the other party's series of reactions, Xia Yu was relieved. This kind of humanoid creature didn't seem to be unable to communicate. Those babbling sounds that he couldn't understand should be the language of the other party's race.

Since you know how to communicate, it's no problem. Can you still understand even if you don't understand the language?He ate the fish very naturally, but he was confused about the mushrooms, but he didn't throw them away directly. It was obvious that the taste of the first piece of fish was definitely beyond the other person's imagination, which caused him to also dislike food that he usually didn't like. Suspicion arose.

Oh my god, it turns out that this humanoid creature is picky about food!

When he comes to his place, as long as he is not allergic to food or has physical problems that lead him to die on the spot after eating, Xia Yu is confident that he will doubt his life.

Xia Yu picked up the grilled fish with shiitake mushrooms and waved it towards the humanoid creature in front of him before putting it to his mouth. Since the fish bones had been picked out cleanly during the pre-processing, Xia Yu took a big bite of the shiitake mushrooms and fish meat. The ground started chewing.

It’s such a confusing taste... Obviously the fish is so delicious, but the combination of onion and ginger also removes the fishy smell. The slightly sour taste of tomato juice and the umami of wild shiitake mushrooms make the fish look like stars holding the moon. The taste is pushed to the highest point.

But it has no salty taste at all... The taste of dishes without any salty taste always feels a little lacking, but compared to the fishy and earthy smell of direct baking, the shiitake mushroom and seabass skewers are not unpleasant to eat. .

This kind of cuisine simply drives professional chefs to obsessive-compulsive disorder!

"Yeah?" The humanoid creature that made a confused sound looked at Xia Yu who was feasting. After hesitating for a long time, he was still unable to resist the temptation of delicious food. He imitated Xia Yu and put the mushrooms and fish into his mouth. His jaw moved. After a few moves, he started to dance.

"mita! ya...nye, yo! dada!"

Although the sound was still loud, Xia Yu could feel that the hostility of the guy in front of him had disappeared. The humanoid creature was looking longingly at the kebabs beside the campfire. It was obvious that he had not eaten enough.

Damn, doesn’t this solve the problem?

————————————————————————

After the meal, at the invitation of the much friendlier humanoid creature to dance, Xia Yu, who followed him, came to a small camp consisting of three or five tents, wooden houses and some wooden fences. He looked at the two people who were watching the wind. Xia Yu's understanding of the world went one step further as the humanoid creature holding a crossbow chattered and explained.

In addition to humans, there are also various types of aboriginal people in this world. From the scene when the other party and myself first met, we can conclude that the relationship between humans and these aboriginal people is not very good, but they have not even met each other. You have to fight to the death.

After a short while, the gate in the middle of the wooden fence was opened.Under the protection of two humanoid creatures that were over two meters tall and as strong as a bodybuilder in their previous life, three aborigines who were much shorter but obviously much more distinguished came to him.

Compared with the dark and thin guy next to him, who only had a pair of tattered animal skin pants covering his body, the aboriginal dress holding a wooden staff similar to an Indian totem in his hand looked much more refined.Large and neat masks, clothing with exquisite prints, plus various totem-like small accessories.

After another jabbering exchange that they didn't understand, the three aborigines first glanced at the two slimes lying on Xia Yu's shoulders with great interest.Then he waved the wooden stick in his hand and circled Xia Yu while continuing to murmur something.

The movements that looked like a dancing master reminded Xia Yu of the various artistic behaviors he once performed when he was in college and drew cards with his roommates in the dormitory. However, those were all metaphysics.

But the behavior of the three aborigines in front of me is really not metaphysics!

The warm feeling slowly spread from the soles of the feet to the entire body, as if the wonderful feeling brought about by entering the hot spring just after washing in the winter made Xia Yu look at his feet.

As the three aboriginals seemed to be performing some kind of ritual, several translucent lines formed a magic circle-like existence under their feet.Seeing this scene, Xia Yu tensed up his nerves, fearing that his actions would disrupt the ceremony of the three aboriginal leaders.

After a long wait, the ceremony of the three aborigines finally came to an end. The three leaders, who looked obviously depressed, raised the totems in their hands high into the air. After a strong light flashed, the magic circle It also began to shrink rapidly and was printed on the back of Xia Yu's hand.

This is...?Curious, Xia Yu carefully looked at the symbol that looked like an elemental mark on the back of his hand. Although he couldn't figure out what it was, Xia Yu could clearly feel that the world had undergone some subtle changes in his field of vision. .

From time to time, one or two colorful ribbons that looked like aurora would pass by in the sky, and the two small balls on his shoulders were also much brighter in color.

"Humans, blessings, methods, eating meat, eating grass, awesome! Let's learn!" The words that came into his ears first made Xia Yu stunned, and finally he lowered his head in surprise and looked at the three aboriginal leaders standing in front of him.

Even though it’s just some simple vocabulary, I can already understand it!

bless?In other words, is the behavior you just performed blessing yourself?Thinking of this, Xia Yu's expression became a little strange.

Blessings from the tribal shaman, emmm....Actually, that's okay?

Chapter 5 It seems that...the caravan of this world was cheated?

After following the three chief-level aborigines to their large wooden house, the formal conversation began.

Although it was just one word after another, Xia Yu finally understood what the other party wanted to express.

The name humans in this world call them is Qiuqiu people. Among the Qiuqiu people, they belong to the meat-loving tribe, that is, they are a tribe that is satisfied as long as they have meat to eat.

The selection of clan leaders among the various tribes of the Qiuqiu people is basically based on the strong. Therefore, the elderly Qiuqiu people can defeat the adult Qiuqiu people who are obviously much stronger than them in the selection of the clan leaders. It is enough to guess how profound their magical attainments are.

As for the reason why I, as a human being, am treated to such a standard...

"You are very powerful. We don't eat grass, and we are unhappy when we eat grass. But as humans, you can make our tribe identify with grass and feel that grass is delicious and the meat becomes more delicious. We want to learn from you."

"The blessings of the Qiuqiu people's gods, feel the elements, get close to the elements, the old times, exchange, the meat is more delicious, the grass is more delicious."

The old shaman's words and sincere tone made Xia Yu completely understand the other party's intention.

Under the protection of the mark, I really feel that the two slimes made of pure elements on my shoulders are much closer to me, and I can accurately feel what the two slimes want to express.

Although I don’t know what that old era refers to, in the end it should be something that is beneficial to me.Using these in exchange for some simple cooking skills, it seems that these three shaman Qiuqiu people really think about their tribe.

"No problem." While nodding in agreement, Xia Yu continued: "Can I see how you cook meat?"

In order to facilitate communication, Xia Yu tried to simplify the words he used.After following the three shamans to the open space, a short but extremely strong Qiuqiu man whose whole body was painted with fiery red patterns came to the bonfire with a simply cut steak.

The clean meat steaks clearly showed signs of cleaning. From this, it can be seen that the other party has carried out the most rough treatment to deal with the problem of excessive meat and blood smell.After placing the large pot filled with water on the simple stove made of rocks, the Qiuqiu man in front of him threw the steak into the water.

Well...that's not a problem. The stewed meat in Chinese food also has the same production process - boiling water.Although the meat that has been boiled will lose a little bit of its meat flavor, the bloody smell of the meat will be greatly reduced after the blood stains are removed.

Next, you should wait for the water to boil, then change the water and start boiling again.Just as Xia Yu was making conjectures, the Qiuqiu man in charge of cooking made a new move:

He grabbed a handful of salt from the cloth bag he carried and put it into the pot. Then, the Qiuqiu man in charge of cooking put his hands on his waist and looked like he was done. After a few seconds of secret pride, the Qiuqiu man put it into the pot. His head turned in Xia Yu's direction.

"It's done, wait until the meat is mature, and eat the meat! Boiled meat is rarely eaten. It's not hard, but it's not delicious. Barbecued meat is hard, but delicious!" As if to express his dissatisfaction with the boiled meat, the Qiuqiu person in charge of cooking He also specifically emphasized that letting him cook barbecue would taste better.

No wonder it tastes so good!

Not to mention the process of directly cooking a pot of dark food like "blood stained soup", adding salt in advance will even cause the surface of the meat to shrink, and all the remaining congestion will be locked inside the meat, and the reverse operation will make it full!

If these practices are seen by professional chefs, they will definitely criticize you as worthless before they stop talking!However, the other party was from Qiuqiu, and it was true that he was not very good at learning from him. Resisting the urge to curse, Xia Yu quickly ran to the big pot and fished out the pork chops from the water.

Fortunately... because the temperature has not yet reached the temperature where the protein is matured, the whole piece of meat was soaked in warm salt water for a few seconds, and even the blood stains did not have time to seep out.Xia Yu, who breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the Qiuqiu man next to him who was in charge of cooking with a serious expression.

"Learn from me. You don't need to put out the fire here. Just prepare a smaller pot to boil water."

————————————————————————

A simple stone operating table, fairly sharp knives, and the most basic seasoning - salt.In order to achieve the demonstration effect, two Qiuqiu people, who were more than three meters tall and were strong men, directly moved the operating table to the open-air venue at the shaman's instruction.

The huge commotion naturally attracted the attention of the entire tribe of Qiuqiu people, except for the two crossbowmen Qiuqiu people guarding the gate.Under the watchful eyes of more than 20 Qiuqiu people dressed in various decorations, Xia Yu started making his own dishes.

After throwing the steak into the newly boiled cold water pot, Xia Yu took out the remaining wild onions and ginger from his pocket. However, what Xia Yu didn't expect was that his move immediately shocked the onlookers Qiu Qiu. People were blown away.

"Grass! It's grass! We don't eat grass!"

"Grass! It doesn't taste good! Meat people don't need grass!"

The Qiuqiu people who collectively booed finally stopped after the two strong men Qiuqiu people showed off their bulging muscles...

Different from the booing clan members, the three old shamans as clan leaders seemed to have noticed something. After coming to the operating table and carefully looking at several raw materials, the old shaman asked Xia Yu: "Humans, these grasses... ,it works?"

"Yes, you don't need to eat these two. You can just throw them away after cooking the meat. But you can't add too much." Xia Yu handed the wild onions and sand ginger to the old shaman.Anyway, it takes a certain amount of time to wait for the meat to boil, so I have enough time to explain to them.

After thinking for a while, Xia Yu decided to use mushrooms in cooking in order to have the final say.

Although fungi are an extremely dangerous food until you learn how to identify poisonous or non-toxic foods, if you only learn how to identify one of them, there will be no problem.

The flavor substance 'mushroom essence' produced when mushrooms are stewed over high heat can replace MSG to a certain extent and make the soup more delicious.Judging from the behavior of the Qiuqiu man who tasted his cooking, they would not refuse delicious food.

Xia Yu took out all the remaining mushrooms from his pocket and handed one of them to the old shaman beside him with great caution.

"Grass that looks similar to this one may be poisonous, but this kind of grass is not poisonous. Just use this one. It's very important. You must remember it!" Xia Yu, who deliberately emphasized over and over again, saw the old shaman was also extremely serious. After nodding, he returned to the iron pot.I tasted the salt water in the pot and found it was okay. The salt taste was not excessive and it could be used directly.

All that's left is the processing of the ingredients.Purely natural and original meat, paired with wild shiitake mushrooms. Different from the miserable situation of not having any seasonings when grilling, now I have salt, and it seems that I can still use refined salt!Salt makes everything taste fresh, and salt is enough for the mushroom stew soup.

Clean it, change the knife according to the size, and then put it into the large pot with salt water... Under Xia Yu's methodical operation, the only step left in the large pot of mushroom broth is to slowly simmer.

"Pray and bless for six times, and then you can eat it. You can also drink the soup together." Xia Yu completed the finishing work and made the people watching in Qiuqiu show horrified expressions.
