Lang Rui was cold but that didn't mean he was stupid. That night he asked Qiao Xin, "Has a female ever come to you to trade for animal skins?"

Qiao Xin was writing with a piece of wood, without raising her head, "No! Who needs the animal skin? I'll ask her tomorrow if she still wants it?"

Lang Rui: "I don't remember the name either."

Qiao Xin: "What does it look like?"

Lang Rui: "Looks like a female."

Qiao Xin: "..." Yes.

Qiao Xin handed a Tang knife to Lang Rui, "You make it this way."

Only Lang Rui in the entire tribe can use black gold bones to make bone knives. Qiao Xin plans to use all these Tang knives to equip females. Since their strength cannot match their size, they will use foreign objects.

Lang Rui fell in love with Tang Dao as soon as he unsheathed it.

The handle of the knife is made of mutated ironwood, with only simple anti-slip patterns. The blade is cold and has a blood groove, exuding an unrivaled edge.

Seeing his glaring eyes, Qiao Xin rarely showed her liking, "I'll give it to you."

Lang Rui came close and kissed the corner of Qiao Xin's mouth when he still wanted to continue.

"Wow, kiss." Lang Yu, who had been fighting with a piece of broken wood in the corner, tilted his head and looked at the two people who were almost stuck together.

The two quickly separated, and damn, they forgot that there was a cub at home.

Both of their faces felt a little hot. Qiao Xin cleared her throat and said, "You make the knife, and I'll write."

Lang Rui quickly returned to the cave next door.

Early the next morning, Qiao Xin finished her work at home and started making maltose.

After an overnight fermentation, maltase in the malt hydrolyzes the starch in the corn into maltose.

Qiao Xin asked Lang Rui, who came back for breakfast, to make a cross frame and hang it on the beam of the kitchen. The four corners of the cross were tied with the four corners of white cloth to form a cloth bag.

Qiao Xin scooped the mixture into a cloth bag one by one and filtered it out, then put it into a large pot and brought to a boil, then turned to medium heat and simmered.

Mao Bai was recently assigned to herding sheep in the sheepfold. When he passed by Qiao Xin's house, he smelled a sweet smell and said, "Master Qiao Xin, what are you doing?"

"The candy should be ready today. I'll give you some to eat then."

When Mao Bai heard that it was candy, he waved his hand quickly, "I can't eat such a precious thing. I keep it for the tribe to exchange for animal skins."

"I'm not in a hurry to change the skins. I'll make some for everyone to try first, so that you can check it, so as not to be different from the ones made by traveling merchants and not be able to exchange for the skins."

Mao Bai then responded, "I'm going to herd the sheep first." Mao Bai was happy every day that he could share the burden for the tribe, at least happier than before. As a male, he couldn't hunt because of his size, and he couldn't eat enough. More than females, he was anxious all the time.

Since spring came, he has been helping the tribe with work, and his heart has become more and more at ease, especially since the tribe leader asked him to herd sheep a few days ago, which made him feel less guilty when receiving supplies.

Qiao Xin stirred the mixture in the pot. When she looked up, she saw the silly Niu Biao holding half a spore in his hand and stuffing it into Mao Bai's hand. After Mao Bai took it, he smiled brightly.

Neither of them spoke. One smiled, the other lowered his head with a red face. They didn't separate until the whistle sounded in the tribe to gather for hunting.

The morning breeze blew through the tribe, and the sunshine was particularly gentle.

Bai Ru had fed the ducks and was carrying a basket of grass when she saw her son disappearing into the forest not far away, following Lang Qing.

In addition to collective training in the square every day, the other cubs now occasionally go to the wild for actual combat. The rest is free time and can be arranged by themselves.

Lang Yu not only has to train with the cubs, but also goes out with the hunting team to observe actual combat. He is exhausted every day when he comes back, and is either carried back by Lang Qing or Lang Rui.

But as soon as I talk about eating, I immediately come to life.

Bai Ru was very satisfied with her current life. She went home, fed the rabbits, washed her hands, and went to Qiao Xin's house, where she and Qiao Xin switched stirring.

When boiling sugar, you need to stir constantly to prevent it from sticking to the pot.

Until the syrup concentration increases, the spatula feels resistance and big bubbles appear, turn to low heat and continue stirring.

The sweet smell permeates the air. Fortunately, the tribe cubs have gone out for training, otherwise they might not be able to stay if they smell the smell.

"Qiao Xin, do you think this is okay?" Bai Ru picked up the spatula, and there was syrup hanging on the edge of the spatula.

"That's it." Qiao Xin moved the big vat over and quickly put the pan into the vat while it was non-stick.

When making the second pot, Qiao Xin found a Y-shaped tree branch, peeled off the outer bark to reveal the clean trunk inside, and kept pulling, until the brown syrup slowly turned milky white.

Until it was dry and hard, Qiao Xin took a rolling pin and pounded it into knuckle-sized pieces, put it into a clay pot, and gave a small pot to Bai Ru, "Take it, it's been a hard day, let's give it to Lang Yu."

Bai Ru was happy, "Isn't Lang Yu raised in your home? He doesn't need this, so give it to the cubs in the tribe."

Qiao Xin took one and gave it to Bai Ru, "Taste it to see if it's sweet or not. Take it, you can put a little more in some dishes to make it taste fresher." She drank the filtered juice and it was very sweet.

Qiao Xin also ate one, "It's so sweet."

Bai Ru: "Okay, I'll harvest it. When the harvest is good and my family gets wheat and corn, I'll make some too."

"Why don't you help me cut the grass for a week and I'll give it to you in exchange? I still have wheat and corn."

"Okay!"

The two agreed, and Qiao Xin gave Bai Ru a bag of ten kilograms of wheat and twenty kilograms of corn cobs on the spot, both of which were unprocessed. "I'll put the stone mill on the platform, and you can ask Lang Qing to grind it for you."

There is also a large stone mill in Qiao Xin's space, which can be shared by the tribe. "If you want a small mill, you can ask Lang Qing to make one for home use."

Qiao Xin gave the white maltose to Lu Yao and asked him to distribute it to the cubs. He gave him a separate jar of undried sugar.

"You can keep this jar for yourself."

Lu Yao naturally took it, Qiao Xin was good at something, she had never forgotten him, and she was more filial than his granddaughter.

He took a sip, and it was so sweet that he said, "We can exchange this for animal skins during the summer harvest." This is much safer than salt. Too little salt can't be exchanged for anything, and too much salt can cause disaster. .

Sugar is different. It is not a necessity in life. Taking out a few cans will not attract attention.

"Do you want to waste materials?" Lu Yao has been following the collection team to collect herbs in the mountains recently while the weather is getting better. He has no time to pay attention to what Qiao Xin has done.

"It doesn't cost anything. It's made from the wheat and corn we grow. A few kilograms can make a lot."

During lunch, the cubs all ate the candies given by Qiao Xin, and one by one they ran to Qiao Xin's house to express their gratitude. Leopard Star directly brought a big fish, his eyes blinking, and the meaning was self-evident.

Qiao Xin gave him a small can with a smile and touched his head, "Don't eat too much every day, be careful of maggot teeth."

Leopardstar nodded seriously. At the age of five, he had less baby fat on his face and more determination.

Leopard Star has been accepted as a student by Lu Yao, and occasionally studies with Qiao Xin.

Lang Yu, who didn't come back for lunch, smelled the sweet smell as soon as he came back. He sniffed his little nose and smelled it everywhere.

After smelling the sweet fragrance coming from the big vat, he turned around and ran out. When he came back, he had a fat rabbit in his mouth.

Not only did he eat candy, but he also had braised rabbit meat in the evening.
