Crossing the Sixers

The distribution of the last batch of vegetables of the Yihe Tribe was over, and every household was given some grown vegetables, but the wild ones were all based on one's personal preference, and Xu Jian was naturally the most interested in this aspect.He wanted to eat hot pot like crazy.If there is no chili, use peppercorns instead, and simply omit if there is no sauce.In short, he wants to set out a table full of vegetables and meat, nestle on the sofa, and cook hot pot while looking at the snow scene through the glass window.

Su La is very curious about hot pot.Fortunately, there is no chili, so there is no need to worry that he cannot eat it.A group of people were happily choosing and washing vegetables, and An Lie was still responsible for slicing meat, which required knife skills.

All the materials are ready, and the stone stove in the living room is also fired.It was warm in the room, and they didn't feel cold in their shirts made of thin animal skins.Everyone was ready to eat, only Bai Yufei was slightly resentful because he was not allowed to boil fish in the hot pot soup.Li Shihao had no choice but to make pickled fish for him on another smaller stone stove.Naturally, there is no sauerkraut in this place. Xu Jian pickled a vegetable similar to sauerkraut with sour fruit, and the taste was not bad.

There are pure white snowflakes floating outside, occasionally mixed with a few flame-like red leaves.Even on snowy days, the red-leaved tree is full of bright red. It is indeed a landmark of the Yihe tribe.

In order to eat hot pot, Xu Jian also specially designed a circular wooden table with a round hole in the middle, which is just right for a stone stove. There are a circle of chairs beside the circular table, but Bai Yufei is missing.He sat next to him at a round table for one person, with a spoon in one hand and chopsticks in the other, and he refused to lift his head while eating.Li Shihao had to turn around occasionally, grab his shoulders, and stuff sliced ​​mutton and beef into his mouth.

Sura looked at the intimacy between the two of them and was extremely envious.

"Hurry up and eat quickly. After we finish eating, we will cook sweet potato noodles with hot pot soup." Xu Jian warmly greeted Sura, "We used to cook noodles with hot pot soup, but unfortunately there is no flour here... Well, in fact, hot pot with rice is also very good Good. At that time, I ate hot pot with them, and I couldn’t grab the food from them. In the end, I used the hot pot soup to soak rice—"

"Don't make excuses for your gluttony, okay four-eyed boy?" Murong couldn't help complaining, "Which time you didn't eat the most!"

"Really?" Xu Jian pretended to be stupid.

On the side, Gao Shuai was dissatisfied: "I said, An Lie, did you give Xu Jian all the cooked meat? You are too considerate in serving me!"

It was only then that Xu Jian realized that there was always no shortage of meat in his bowl. He blushed and wanted to return the meat to everyone, but no one wanted to take it, so he had to pick up half of it and give it to An Lie.

"I can't eat that much!" Xu Jian muttered in a low voice.

An Lie was a little embarrassed: "I'm afraid you're hungry..."

That was your old life, okay?Ever since Laozi came here, will anyone in your Yihe tribe be hungry?Even if you eat mushrooms all day, it can support you!Xu Jian complained in his heart, but didn't say it clearly.

Out of their mad love for mushrooms, Xu Jian and the others managed to get some strains for experimentation, but unexpectedly they succeeded.One day yesterday, I found dead wood, crushed it, packed mushroom seeds, and borrowed an empty house in the tribe, and the mushroom cultivation business officially started.It's a pity that there are no enoki mushrooms in this place.

Sura clumsily picked up a ball from the pot. He was not very good at using chopsticks, so he crushed the ball, and the ball fell back into the hot pot soup.Xu Jian looked very regretful, and Su La felt so ashamed that she didn't dare to put down her chopsticks timidly.

"It's okay, there's more, although it's not easy to make, but it's round anyway." Xu Jian quickly fished him a whole one.

Bai Yufei, who was hiccupping after eating fish, was finally willing to join their conversation: "What is it, Ajian?"

"Balls made from mashed potatoes." Xu Jian showed off, "Of course, it's not as good as beef balls and fish balls, but..."

Before the words finished, Murong sighed and complained: "Can you forget about the beef balls and fish balls? It's so uncomfortable to hear that you can't eat them!"

"Let me tell you, when I find wheat, I want to eat meatballs every day! Vegetable balls and meatballs! Croquettes and boiled meatballs!" Xu Jian patted his thigh and talked about his food development plan with great interest—in addition to the meatball series, there are also There are steamed buns, flower rolls and bread, as well as wide noodles, thin noodles, ramen, stewed noodles, sliced ​​noodles, dumplings, wontons, and oil cakes, oil cakes, fried dough sticks, pancakes, pancake rolls, roasted duck and chives. Eggs must be added to the box...

Murong, who was almost drooling, pressed Xu Jian, trying to beat him up, but fortunately, An Lie stopped him with his eyes.

Su La was confused, but seeing Xu Jian's drunken expression, he knew that those must be delicious.

Bai Yufei frowned incomprehension: "Do you have to eat the same as on earth? What if there is no wheat or rice in this world?"

Xu Jian was not happy when he heard this: "Do you, a guy who can live on fish alone, know what to eat? We have tens of thousands of choices to eat, just like on the earth, from Antarctica to The North Pole, from the east to the west of the Pacific Ocean, there are special delicacies everywhere we go. We can eat whatever we like, and every meal can be different! What is it called now? It can only be called filling the stomach... And we all No salt! I can’t even make a stewed dish! Do you know how much duck intestines, duck necks, pig ears and trotters are wasted? Let me tell you..."

When Xu Jian's topic changed from meatballs to sandwiches, everyone was almost full.This hot pot meal without salt was the worst they had ever eaten. It was obviously tasteless, but it felt great.They also let the foodie Xu Jian, who was immersed in his fantasy world, keep reporting the names of the dishes.

It's really hard to hear but not eat, but in the ears, the fragrance, the sweetness, the spicyness, the crispiness, the softness... They seem to have returned to the food street of the earth. Surrounded by hawkers' cries...

"It's a pity that the river prawns haven't been found yet. If there are prawns and crabs, I'll make deep-fried prawns and steamed crabs for you... It would be nice to have lobsters. I haven't eaten authentic lobsters in my life. Ah, the sea , There are a lot of fish, shrimps, crabs in the sea... Is there a sea here? I must go out for a trip someday, look for it, there must be something as good as the earth waiting for us... When I find them all, Just open a restaurant, bread costs 12 yuan, steamed buns 28 yuan, duck neck [-] yuan, ramen [-] yuan, pig's trotters [-] yuan...Western fast food plus Chinese cuisine, maybe the males of the entire Yihe tribe will come to my restaurant There are also other tribes, when the time comes, I will open a hotel, advertise to the entire male planet, and then create a large square with one-stop food, lodging and entertainment..."

Sura looked at Li Shihao with a worried look on her face: "What's wrong with Ah Jian? Why..." She kept smirking, her eyes were blank, and her expression was weird?

Li Shihao glanced at Xu Jian and raised his eyebrows: "It's okay. He's just fantasizing."

An Lie stared at Xu Jian dotingly, full of admiration for this guy who was immersed in fantasy.An Lie felt that Xu Jian was amazing, he knew so many edible and delicious things, and Xu Jian's sparkling eyes were so cute when he talked about the food.

Gao Shuai and Murong secretly sighed.The peerless hero, An Lie, was firmly held by Xu Jian in this way. An Lie obeyed Xu Jian's order, and he didn't know how An Lie would be bullied by Xu Jian after the two of them really got together.When they thought of the tall and handsome An Lie following Xu Jian around in the kitchen, the two of them felt that the scene was too inconsistent.A male like An Lie should be running in the jungle to hunt down ferocious beasts. How can he help Xu Jian wash vegetables, cook vegetables, light the fire, and clean the table with dishes?

Xu Jian fell asleep muttering about chili sauce, An Lie carried him back to his room on the second floor, Gao Shuai and Murong kept urging An Lie to take the opportunity to stay and sleep in the same bed with Xu Jian, An Lie was extremely embarrassed, and put Xu Jian put it back on the bed and ran away.Gao Shuai and Murong hid in the next room to have fun.

An Lie returned to his home and lay on the big bed designed for him by Xu Jian, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.Whether it was a unicorn or a human, he was not afraid of the cold, but the animal skin made him feel uncomfortable and his whole body was itchy.He scratched for a long time, still uncomfortable.After staying up until midnight, he finally fell asleep, and was woken up by Atu early the next morning.Today it was their turn to hunt all the hunters, and they had to come back at least before noon, so that they could distribute food for everyone to prepare lunch and dinner.

The wind and snow were much more violent than yesterday.An Lie put on a white rabbit fur hat, animal leather boots, and a jacket and waistcoat with cuffs that were tightened up, similar to the winter equipment of ancient heroes on Earth. The animal skin trousers underneath were stuffed into the boots. Dress chic and neat.The long hair that was loose in the past was also tied into a bun and tucked under the hat. Xu Jian adorned An Lie's hat with a few colored stones when he had nothing to do.

As soon as An Lie appeared, several males looked surprised and envious.Although they also put on long-sleeved tops and trousers, it was much warmer this winter, but An Lie's attire was obviously more outstanding.They all asked how the hat and waistcoat were made, and how the stone was sewn on to his hat.An Lie smiled and replied that it was Xu Jian who helped, and a group of males understood it, and began to tease him, asking when they would get married.

This time Anlie was a little embarrassed.He has not formally asked Xu Jian to become a partner so far because he is not sure about Xu Jian's mind.A Tu saw his friend's embarrassment, so he changed the subject and asked An Lie if he brought the food recipe drawn by Xu Jian.An Lie took out a roll of animal skin, on which were painted various things that they had never eaten before, and all edible parts were painted in color.Some fruits grow among the branches and leaves, some are buried in the soil, some swim in the water, and some don't even know how that part is edible, just like a grass.

"We can look for this, Chili," Anlie said.

A group of males gathered around to have a look, and then they set off.It was not until they were outside the tribe that they realized that it was a little unreliable to help Xu Jian find food.

In front of their eyes, except for the undulating lines of woods and mountains that can be barely recognized, there is white snow everywhere, and there are flying snowflakes everywhere. The grass that reached their chests in the past was bent and buried under the snow. Next, are they going to dig through the snow to find peppers?Xu Jian's chili pepper is so small...

"Something's wrong." When they walked through the woods, turned over the slope, and saw the Yi River still flowing, An Lie raised his hand to signal everyone to stop.

On the other side of the Yi River, on the wilderness where the Yihe tribe leads to the Chisha tribe, there are passages knocked out by animals among the grass, a large number of bison and wild sheep, and even spent time in the dens that should have been hiding in the forest. The winter birds are also migrating to the Yi River.In the previous snow season, some animals could not tolerate the severe cold on the mountain and ran to the bushes beside the Yi River to spend the winter, but never before had so many animals gathered on both sides of the Yi River, it was like the hottest time in the warm season.

But they couldn't rush to the Chisha tribe to find out what happened.The mountain in front of the tribe, Xu Jian called them "Langya Mountain". The Yihe tribe is in the south of Langya Mountain, and they dig ore at the southern foot of the mountain. They have not found any abnormalities in Langya Mountain before.Is it because of the snowfall?But that's not the case with the "Fengshen Mountain" behind the tribe.

They hastily hunted a dozen large animals, several calves and lambs. Attu caught a nest of shivering ducklings under the grass roots by the river, and a dozen males dragged their prey back to the village.Their appearance brought a commotion to the Yi River. The animals howled and ran around, and the birds flew away in fright, but soon they gathered on the bank of the Yi River again. Several bison tried to cross the Yi River, but reached the river. In the center, forced to retreat due to the depth of the water.An Lie and the others built a wooden bridge from the narrowest part of the water, and the wooden bridge was dismantled immediately after bringing the prey back.A few fat-eared beasts whimpered, flicked their ears at the birds flying over the river bank, and ran around restlessly.

Most of the prey they caught were still alive, and some of them seemed to have been greatly frightened, and tried to escape into the snow-covered grass several times.Mingche was kicked by a bison, and he let go of the grass rope in pain. The bison fled under the grass, but unfortunately the snow was too thick. It was caught by Mingche after drilling more than ten meters, and was brought back by Mingche at the same time. There is also the rabbit family who came back.

"The cubs can be sent to the animal shed. I heard that the rabbits are born very quickly. Since the animal shed was built, hundreds of little rabbits have been born." Mingche said happily, "When the warm season comes, I guess There can be thousands of rabbits in our animal shed, and we will eat roasted whole rabbits every day!"

An Lie just stared at the little rabbit's mouth.The male rabbit was probably very hungry, with a few green and yellow leaves in its mouth, and was still chewing after being caught.

With sharp eyes and quick hands, An Lie pulled the only remaining leaf out of the rabbit's mouth, and then exclaimed in surprise—"This is a pepper leaf!"

"Ah? Really?" Several males gathered around to look at it, and then all laughed.

It really is.Xu Jian's food list is just a rough drawing, and it's hard for An Lie to recognize it after looking so carefully.The males all stopped and watched Anlie and Mingche go in through the grass hole, and climbed out after a while, each holding a few pepper seedlings, with bunches of red peppers hanging on them, some Dried flat peppers.A Tu had heard Xu Jian say that chili is delicious, so he couldn't help but grabbed a small one, put it in his mouth, and chewed a few mouthfuls—"Wow! It hurts! Shhhhhhhh..." Ah Tu Spit out the chewed chili, jump wildly, the whole face flushed instantly, the strange appearance of opening the mouth and sticking out the tongue made the males couldn't help laughing.In the end, he had to swallow several mouthfuls of snow to suppress the hotness.

The peppers were not distributed as public food, but were handed over to Xu Jian to study how to grow them.

How did Xu Jian do it?He did take out the chili seeds for planting when the monsoons came, but he disposed of all the peppers.That noon, it was the first time that their small villa was so unpopular, Su La even had to temporarily hide in Atu's house, because the spicy smell in the room was too choking!

In the evening, Xu Jian, An Lie, Sura, and Atu's family enjoyed a chili feast-chilli fried pork slices, chili fried vegetables, hot and sour potato shreds, spicy rabbit meat, spicy chicken, chili Sauce, fried chili rings, all kinds of dishes cooked with chili, of course, there is no salt but a lot of chili... hot pot.

The males of the non-terrestrial tribes spent a night with screams of "Ah, so hot, so hot", "Shhhh, so hot", and "Hot girl hot, hot girl hot", one after another, Satisfied, they went home to sleep.

In the middle of the night, Xu Jian's humming noise woke up Su La. When she pushed the door open, Su La turned pale with fright. It was only when the witch doctor saw him that he ate too much chili and had a stomachache.

The witch doctor Thorne was so angry that these guys deserved it for their stomachache from stealing delicious food!Thorne, whose dream was broken, threw a piece of herbal medicine and asked Xu Jian to boil it by himself, then drove them away, and slammed the door behind him.

Foodie Xu Jian’s chili sauce was confiscated by An Lie, so he had to smell the chili seeds every day, praying for the snow season to pass as soon as possible, let him sprinkle chili seeds in the soil, and the chili seeds will grow chili seedlings. Grow peppers, and then he can harvest a yard of peppers...
