In addition to playing, the children in the tribe help their mothers collect some wild fruits for dinner. The tribesmen living in the Bahrain tribe are living a good life. Moreover, it is summer and there are a lot of prey around. Wu Zhu will not let anyone in the tribe. A man is hungry.
The children in Bahrain are living a good life these days. Not only do they eat meat every day, the quality of the meat is also very good. Usually, only tribal hunting warriors are qualified to select meat of this type. What the tribe gives them is just the leftovers. Meat, of course it was good enough, Ronin couldn't even get meat.
The children who lived with him in Datongpu all had smiles on their faces, and they had more expectations for the future. He made up his mind to exchange straw sandals for more meat, so that the three ronin would All the meat that cannot be eaten is sent to the tribe to Lao Ao, and Lao Ao will give the meat to them again!
I have to say that Ge's brain is much better than that of other tribesmen. In comparison, at this moment Zhan was holding a pair of brand new straw sandals and handed them to his sleeping father. His father waved his hand and looked at this special pair. He took off his shoes and patted his son's shoulder cheerfully: "Not bad, but it looks a little weird this way."
Zhan felt like his bones were about to break from being slapped, and he hurriedly said: "Abba, please control the intensity, I haven't awakened the power of the totem yet!"
"Haha, I forgot, you still have to wait two years." Zhan's father put on his shoes and looked at them. He always felt a little awkward, but he didn't know what was wrong, so he felt that these shoes didn't match him. , he said in a deep voice, "By the way, your uncle is waiting for you to get your shoes..."
Bang bang bang!
There was a rough knock on the door, and Zhan saw mud falling on the roof of his house with his naked eyes. An anxious voice sounded outside: "Hey, A Zhan's dad, is A Zhan back?"
As soon as he heard the voice, Zhan knew it was the only uncle who didn't get the shoes yesterday. He was here right away. Zhan hurriedly said: "Uncle, I'm back! Knock on the door lightly, the house is about to collapse. !"
"Oh," the man standing at the door held a piece of meat in his hand.
Zhan who opened the door said strangely: "Uncle, you already brought a piece of meat yesterday, why did you bring another piece?"
The man looked at Zhan with gleaming eyes, rubbed his big rough hands, and said, "I want to get a pair for the women in my family. Do you have many?"
"Yes." Zhan replied.
He handed the shoes to the man. Suddenly, the man's eyes fell on the pair of shoes with bows on Abba Zhan's feet. The man pointed at the shoes on Abba Zhan's feet. For some reason, he felt that these shoes were very special. It suits my wife, and the style of shoes is more suitable for women: "I want this pair, okay? I think my women will look good in it!"
Zhan Wei said: "But my father has worn these pairs..."
The man said: "It's okay. Dad, can you change it?"
After hearing what his teammates said, Zhan's father finally understood why he felt that these shoes should not be worn. It must be because these shoes are more suitable for women. He took a cursory look at his teammates and curled his lips: "We can consider it, but next time While hunting..."
"I'll help you keep vigil!" Before Zhan's father could finish speaking, the man directly interrupted and promised, patting his chest.
"Okay, it's a deal!"
As soon as the two reached an agreement, several warriors who had just returned to the tribe came to Zhan's door. Zhan found that he didn't need to sell at all, there were always people coming to his door.
On the other side, Lin Xiao had just reached the halfway point of the mountain when he suddenly felt heartbroken.
"Oops, I just forgot to remind Zhan Hege that there is no need to move the meat to the mountain early in the morning. If there is too much meat to eat tomorrow, we will have to move the meat down again." Lin Xiao thought of carrying so many things from the mountain. The cave was moved to the Bahrain tribe, which gave him a headache just thinking about it.
"Don't worry, Ah Xiao, I can go down the mountain very early tomorrow morning and wait for them!" Lie said with a roll of his eyes.
"But it's too early. It's not bright yet. It will be dangerous for you to go out." Lin Xiao shook his head and said, "Let's wait until tomorrow."
Lie nodded, "Yes, then we'll tell them tomorrow."
Lie, who was walking on the road, suddenly squatted in the grass, picked a red fruit from a plant that Lin Xiao didn't recognize, and handed it to Lin Xiao's hand, "Eat, this is delicious!"
This plant looked a bit like a mulberry, but it was red in color. It grew on a vine. Lin Xiao took it and took a bite. It tasted sour and sweet, somewhat similar to a mulberry.
The three of them picked some fruits from the vines and ate them while walking. After eating, their hands were stained with red water. Lin Xiao couldn't wash it off even after washing it with water for a long time.
The three of them returned to the cave.
Lei washed the meat hidden in the cave and roasted it on the fire. The meat was very fragrant.
Then Lin Xiao saw two pairs of black eyes looking at him, obviously waiting for him to brush the meat with a layer of lemon fruit fragrance like this morning, and sprinkle some Lin Xiao's distilled Get the salt.
These salts are incomparable to modern salts. They are slightly yellowish and tend to condense together. But even so, they taste much better than the bitter salts they ate before.
Lin Xiao said: "You can learn from me how to handle meat in the future. The meat will taste much better. Pour the salt from the salt mine into water and dissolve it, then use fire to evaporate the water."
While applying lemon to the meat, Lin Xiao flipped the meat placed on the stone slab. "The meat baked across the stone will not be burnt and tastes better."
After doing all this, the meat was placed on the hot stone slab. Lin Xiao found that neither Lei nor Lie spoke. He looked up and saw the big one and the little one drooling over the meat on the stone slab. Lin Xiao was helpless. Shaking his head, it seemed that what he just said was true.
Lin Xiao placed a few pieces of meat on the washed leaves and said to the two of them: "Okay, eat it."
After the storm, all the roasted meat fell into the stomach.
Lin Xiao boredly picked up some hay and sat at the entrance of the cave to knit shoes. Lie beside him also learned from him to knit straw sandals. "A Xiao, can you teach me how to knit shoes? I can help you..."
Before he finished speaking, he was rudely interrupted by Lei on the side, "This is the craftsmanship of the Asiao tribe. The tribe's craftsmanship cannot be left to outsiders casually."
Hearing his brother's words, Lie was a little disappointed. He explained to Lin Xiao in a low voice: "A Xiao, I just want to help you."
"Follow my steps," Lin Xiao patted Lie on the shoulder and said, "I can teach you. In fact, weaving straw sandals is very simple. Anyone can learn it as long as they are willing to study hard."
Hearing Lin Xiao's words, Lie grinned happily at first, but the next moment he frowned and said with some worry: "What if the people of the Bahrain tribe learn to knit shoes? We can't exchange meat."
Seeing Lie's anxious look, Lin Xiao smiled: "Don't worry, I told them it was made by a traveling merchant. Even if they learn it, they will wait until the traveling merchant leaves before letting most people in the tribe wear it." , I won't starve you."
Even if there is no meat, he can still use the extracted salt to exchange for meat from the Bahrain tribe. He does not believe that these Bahrain tribe people can still research the distillation method. If this can be learned by them, Lin Xiao can only say that they are primitive people. ruthless!
Since Lin Xiao discovered the path of exchanging straw sandals for meat, he suddenly felt that his eyes were bright. In fact, he already had a plan. Once the straw sandals were learned by the tribesmen, he would knit straw hats!
On this day, a straw hat can resist the vicious sun.
After teaching Lei and Lie to knit straw shoes, Lin Xiao stopped knitting shoes at all. He turned around and started studying how to knit straw hats. After an afternoon of research, Lin Xiao successfully made the first straw hat for Lie to wear.
There was an extra hat on his head, which didn't feel good to Lie. He took it off uncomfortably and asked Lin Xiao, "Axiao, what's the use of this?"
Lin Xiao explained: "When walking under the sun, put this on your head and it will not be so hot."
"Oh." Lie played with Lin Xiao's new work, but he was not as enthusiastic as when he was wearing straw sandals.
After dinner, Lin Xiao looked at the more than 20 pairs of straw sandals in the cave with a confused expression. At this moment, the two brothers were continuing to knit straw sandals by the light of the fire. Their skills became more and more skillful. Lin Xiao subconsciously glanced at the remaining pieces in the cave. After falling from the hay, these two brothers used their lives to weave straw sandals!
The two brothers wanted to sell quickly and make money.
Lin Xiao knew the worries of the two brothers, but now he was more worried about sleeping tonight. He had wasted a lot of hay in the cave before, and now it was used to weave straw shoes. He was worried that he would have to sleep on the ground at night.
Thinking of this, Lin Xiao suddenly thought of the vines they picked fruits from when they came back today. The stems of the vines were very soft and could be used as thread after being dried to make straw mats.
As soon as Lin Xiao thought of it, he took in the short vines that they had thrown away as garbage, tore off the outer layer with his hands, leaving only the inner stems, and then placed this thing next to the fire.
The two brothers who were knitting straw sandals looked at Lin Xiao strangely, wondering what he was going to do, "Axiao, why did you pick this back up?"
"I have an idea, but I don't know if it can be used. I'll tell you tomorrow." Lin Xiao felt a little sleepy. He said to the two brothers who were actively knitting straw sandals: "Look at it for me and don't let it burn."
"Okay!" Lie Xiaoji nodded like pecking rice and showed a smile.
Lei: "Axiao, don't worry!"
…
The next morning, the weather was still hot and the sun shone in from the cave.
Lin Xiao rolled over and got up as usual, but he felt that the position he turned over was not right. When he woke up, he found that half of his body was still on the hay, and the rest of his body was sitting on the dark muddy ground.
Wait, where's the hay?
Although there isn't much hay, it's not like you'll run out of hay to sleep in one night, right?
Lin Xiao was stunned and could barely see the situation inside the cave clearly through the light. Except for the hay in his area, the hay on the ground in the entire cave was gone, and there were only straw sandals like hills in the cave!
Lin Xiao: ...these two brothers braided all the hay that was laid on the ground for sleeping in the entire cave yesterday! How do you want to fight? Are you really planning to make a fortune and run away?
