Crossing to Live in the Wilderness Plains

When eviscerating a pheasant, several people would first ask Chen Qi what to keep and what to throw away. After finishing, Chen Qi asked Aze to cut a pheasant into pieces. The pheasant was very big. Chen Qi divided it into two pottery plates, filled the pottery plate with water, and added a few pieces of chopped wild **** and Golden needle flowers, slowly stewed.

The other pheasants, Chen Qidu, made a knife mark on the surface, and then smeared it with salt, wrapped it tightly with washed Puye, tied it with a root wire, and then let Aze dig beside the fire I made a big pit, spread a thick layer of red-hot charcoal at the bottom of the pit, then spread another layer of Pu leaves on top, put the four wrapped pheasants in, and covered it with a layer soil, and then set up a new fire.

Aze had seen Chen Qi roasted sweet potatoes like this, and he still remembers the taste of the sweet potatoes until now. He couldn't help but stare at the soil under the fire, but of course he couldn't see anything but the red flames.

Naturally, several other people had never seen this method of handling food. Although they were curious, they all waited patiently. After a while, they would know what it was like.

Chen Qi was worried that everyone would be too hungry, so he roasted the two snow geese directly according to the usual method.

The fat of the pheasant and the snow geese is not much, but there are still more than half a bowl of them together. Chen Qi slowly boiled the fat out of the oil, put the boiled oil in a ceramic bowl, and cut the remaining oil with it. The internal organs were fried in a large plate, and the aroma made several orcs sniffle. Carlo and Ali had been sitting beside Chen Qi, carefully remembering every step of Chen Qi, and planning to return. Try this after you get home.

There are not many pottery bowls at home. Chen Qi still uses bamboo tubes as bowls, filling everyone with a large bamboo tube, and putting the rest in pottery bowls and putting them aside. good. Chen Qi took a few pieces of chicken kidneys from one of the bowls and tasted the taste. Although the method was simpler, the taste was still good.

Chen Qi of pheasant viscera could only accept chicken kidneys, but he didn't particularly like it. After eating a few pieces, he put down his chopsticks and planned to see how the coagulation of chicken blood was going.

Seeing that Chen Qi had no longer wanted to touch the fried internal organs, Aze silently brought the bowl that Chen Qi had sandwiched in front of him, causing meaningful glances from the other orcs. As if he didn't see it, Aze took care of the food that belonged to him indifferently.

"Aze, you're going to the Lion and Wolf tribe in a few days, do you still plan to go by yourself this year?" A Zhang put a piece of chicken heart into his mouth and chewed it.

A Ze paused for a moment. The Lion and Wolf tribe was about three days away from here, and it would take up to six days to come back and forth. If he went to Chen Qi and stayed here alone, A Ze would naturally be uneasy. But if he took Chen Qi with him, he wouldn't be able to bring too many animal skins to exchange. The Lion and Wolf Tribe's meeting was held only once a year, just to exchange the needed supplies for people from other tribes.

Chen Qi, who had just checked the coagulation of chicken blood, just came back with a pottery plate in his arms. Hearing A Zhang's question, he asked suspiciously, "Is going to the Lion and Wolf tribe for a rally? How many tribes will participate?"

A Zhang thought for a while, and replied: "The tribes who travel back and forth within a month will come. We mainly exchange salt stones and flint with the tribes close to the inland, and their tribes are close to the big lake, and most of them feed on the creatures in the lake. So lack of animal skins, we need to exchange animal skins with our tribes close to the forest."

"Do you feed on the creatures in the lake? Don't you guys don't eat fish?" Chen Qi wondered. He had seen those fish swimming in front of A Ze before. A Ze had no intention of catching him, and asked later. Next, the answer is that they do not eat fish.

"The lake there is salty, and there are some creatures that look like leopards, lions and elephants living in the lake. Those creatures have to climb on the shore to bask in the sun every once in a while, and they catch these creatures by catching them. Those who survive will not eat other fish in the lake." Ali added.

Chen Qi thought about it, a salty lake? Is it the sea? However, based on the information Chen Qi knew, it was impossible for an endless sea to appear in a place that could be reached in half a month. It must be known that the Dora Plain is very large, and its extent is almost equivalent to the area of ​​​​the earth.

"By the way, why don't you eat fish?" Chen Qi has always had doubts about this.

Carlo swallowed his mouthful of food and interjected: "I heard that there was a winter long ago, and some tribes went to the lake to catch fish when they couldn't find food. As a result, the fishbone got stuck in their throat and couldn't eat, and they were hungry. A lot of people died. Everyone said that it was the beast **** warning not to eat fish, so each tribe defaulted not to eat it." After speaking, Carlo curled his lips, "I secretly caught one when I was young and ate it. Hard and tough, but unpalatable."

Ake tapped Carlo's head with his chopsticks. This guy had seen him growing up since he was a child. Why didn't he know that the other party was so bold and secretly running to fish for food? You must know that although the Chishui River is close to the tribe, there is still a distance.

Carlo giggled and brought a piece of chicken kidney to Ake's mouth, and smiled ingratiatingly.

Chen Qi's head is full of black lines, hard and tough. I'm afraid it's not eaten with fish scales, right? Hunting will deal with the fur first, why don't the fish go to the scales first? And when it comes to the fishbone, Chen Qi doesn't know how the fish here is different from the fish he used to eat before. He also suffered from the pain of being stuck in the throat by the fishbone when he was a child. At that time, his mother poured him a large bowl of vinegar before After swallowing the bones, he can still recall the sour taste of vinegar at that time. When he grew up, he always felt that his mother had dealt with him without taking him to the hospital.

Chen Qi did not continue on the topic of fish, but became interested in the gathering of the lion and wolf tribe. If the orcs living by the salt lake also brought food in addition to salt rocks, they might be able to exchange for some seafood and so on. of. "Can I go to that meeting with you?"

A Zhang hesitated a bit, looked at A Ze and said, "It will take three days at the fastest to rush to the Lion and Wolf tribe at the speed of the females, and it will be winter in a few days after the meeting." The implication is that unless A Ze took it, otherwise at Chen Qi's speed, don't expect to be able to go.

Chen Qi turned to look at A Ze, A Ze nodded, "Okay, let's go together then." After A Ze finished speaking, he said to A Zhang, "I will go with the people in the tribe this year." If you do, the people who follow the tribe will be safer.

A-Zhang raised his eyebrows angrily, don't think that he just asked him if he had the tangled face when he went by himself, but his own affairs have not been resolved, and he has no position to take care of A-Ze's affairs. He picked up the empty bamboo tube and refilled it with food, and by the way picked what Li liked to eat into the other party's bamboo tube. After this period of contact, several orcs have been able to master the use of chopsticks proficiently.

The coagulation effect of chicken blood was alright. Before Chen opened it, he asked Aze to make a wooden spoon to divide the stewed chicken soup in half into the original pottery plate where the internal organs were fried. He washed a small amount of golden needle flowers and put them in the soup to burn, etc. When the soup starts to roll, use a sword-horn knife to cut the condensed chicken blood into pieces, scoop it with a wooden spoon and put it into the soup, add a little salt when it is almost discolored, and cook it for a few minutes before using a new bamboo tube. A little taste, although it is not as good as the chicken blood soup that he usually eats in restaurants outside, but Chen Qi is very satisfied to be able to make a familiar taste under such simple conditions.

Chen Qi made a bamboo tube for the bamboo that Ake had cut back before. At this time, Chen Qi took out a new bamboo tube and filled each person with a bamboo tube of chicken blood soup. He didn't know whether the beasts could accept chicken blood. Taste, so I don't do much, just let them all try it first.

The other people ate slowly. They usually drink broth, which is naturally different from the taste of boiled chicken blood in broth. As always, Aze drank the soup in the bamboo tube with the chicken blood, and he couldn't tell whether he liked it or not. Chen Qi asked in a low voice, "How does it taste? Can you accept it?"

"Very good." Azer licked his lips and added: "You can do this with the rest of the chicken blood, they will like it."

A few other people really like it. Although the taste is a little strange at first, but after eating it, it feels delicious and fresh. In fact, they are tired of it. I have eaten the same barbecue for decades.

Chen Qi was relieved, and he cooked another plate of chicken blood soup. The two roasted snow geese were almost the same. Aze helped Chen Qi to cut the roasted snow geese into pieces and placed them neatly in Pu Ye Shang asked them to eat chicken blood soup together. For a moment, Chen Qi had the illusion of being a chef.

Seeing that Chen Qi has been busy, Aze handed the warmed chicken blood soup to the other party's hand, "Eat a little first, don't be hungry."

Chen Qi took the bamboo tube, took a sip, and squinted his eyes happily, feeling that the fatigue of the whole day had been swept away.

After the chicken blood soup and roasted snow geese were all wiped out, Carlo nestled beside Ake, and his eyes began to stare in the direction of the pheasant buried on the ground. The fire had been slowly extinguished, and only some red charcoal remained. "Chen Qi, why did you bury the pheasant underground? When can you eat it?" Carlo asked Chen Qi with a greedy face.

"It's a beggar chicken." Chen Qi estimated the time. If the beggar chicken wants to have a crisper skin, it's better to wait a little longer. Although it can be eaten now, the taste is probably worse. "Let's wait a little longer. The taste will be better if it lasts longer."

"Oh." Carlo replied in disappointment, his eyes still staring at the bottom of the charcoal fire.
