prehistoric chef

It’s late autumn, and the leaves are falling badly. Gao Ming is carrying a cloth bag and looking down for wild vegetables. If he only eats meat for the whole winter, he will probably be constipated. When he thinks about going to the small forest outside the cave, Gao Ming will Thinking of my butt exposed in heavy snow, I couldn't help shivering.

Landa has already started tanning the leather. One of the three tiger skins is intact, and the other two are divided into pieces. Fortunately, there is no fear if there are too many leathers. Gao Ming plans to use the large pieces of leather to make three vests. If there is not enough Use another one, you can't stay in bed wrapped in leather all winter!He can make an iron needle, the needle should be thicker, cut the leather into thin pieces, string them together, and sew a vest should be no problem.

Gao Ming was not loved by his parents since he was a child, and he came out to venture out in his teens. Not to mention the top-notch female celebrity, he can simply sew a sock.

The two were chopping wood not far from Landa, and Gao Ming drew blueprints on the ground. Without a chainsaw, he could only do it manually, so he made a simple one with an inlaid structure. It probably wouldn't use nails or anything. A few nails, if needed, are enough.Buga was shirtless, and the slight golden sunlight shone on Buga, waving the hatchet, and the muscles in his arms were tense.

Not long after, a big tree fell to the ground, and Gao Ming went up to it and started cutting it down with a saw.It took three hours to cut down the whole big tree, but it was only sawed into planks. A big tree was sawn into four pieces, but the big tree was tall and cut off from the middle. Gao Ming put it together, and the width and length were enough for four big men to sleep on. It can't be too big, there are a lot of food in the hole, so the bed can't take up half of it!

It was getting dark early and the sun was setting. Bujia waved his knife and wanted to cut a tree. He could do it at the entrance of the cave at night, so it would save a lot of time.Landa ran over with the rattan frame on his back, holding two fish in his hands, using the method taught by Gao Ming, entangled in dry grass, directly passing through the mouth of the fish, carrying them without taking up space.

The two fish followed Landa running, flicking and flicking, the whole rhythm looked interesting.When he arrived in front of the two of them, he held his fish high and said as if asking for credit: "I caught it! I don't know what happened, there are more fish today..."

The two fish were very big, at least four or five catties.Gao Ming boasted: "Landa is so powerful, I will eat this at night!"

"Grilled fish with chilli!" Landa suggested.

Gao Ming didn't expect that Landa, who was being spicy for the first time, would be so obsessed with chili peppers, so he nodded immediately, "One I baked is spicier than last time, and I put a little less on one, you can try it."

Landa squinted her eyes and moved her mouth, as if she was hungry for food.

"How's the leather?" Gao Ming helped tidy up the boards.

Randa hung the fish from a branch and helped with the work. "I'll knead it tomorrow, and then I'll wait for it to dry."

The planks of the plank bed are ready, only the two sides and the middle brackets are left. The tree Bujia cut down is not very big.

"It looks like it will be moved in two trips." Gao Ming stared at the plank on the ground, probably both trips are suspended.

Bujia nodded and took the lead in carrying four planks.Gao Ming looked distressed, in order to make the bed of good quality, able to withstand the rolling of three people, Gao Ming saw that it was not thin, and wanted to let Bujia put down a piece, but in the end he didn't say anything.These days, Gao Ming can see that Bujia is not a braggadocio.Silently carried two pieces, feeling that there could be another one, "Landa put it on for me."

Landa held the board and put a piece on Gao Ming's shoulder. He carried the rattan frame on his back, carried the last piece, and went to fish. The three of them walked back down the mountain one after another with a distance between them.

When we arrived at the cave, Bujia looked at Gao Ming and said, "I'll drag that tree. You and Landa stay in the cave and lock the door."

"Together." Gao Ming said.

Bujia looked at Gao Ming silently, and suddenly reached out to stroke Gao Ming's hair, "I'm hungry, you cook." Then he suddenly smiled and said, "Hair is growing."

Gao Ming stared at Bujia's back, not sure what Bujia's last sentence meant, did it mean it literally?Or is there a deeper meaning?Landa stared at him blankly, and couldn't help but scratched his hair, it was long and oily, and he felt embarrassed all over.In the past, the short ones were the same as the board size, and they were not afraid of being oily. Now they are long and oily, so you can imagine that they must be cut into board size tomorrow!

Landa fed Baa Baa water, obediently built a fire to boil the water, Gao Ming moved the wood he had quarried outside the cave in the morning into the cave, found an open space, and built it against the wall, without taking up space, he could make it after dinner at night I'm going to work overtime tonight, try to make it, and the bacon can be hung on it. The bacon in Tietong should have been hung on the wall yesterday, and it will be too salty if it is later.In the afternoon, I also put the sawed ones in the hole. It is too cold outside this season, and there will be frost. If I really put them outside, I don’t know how long it will take to dry.

After tidying up and tidying up, Gao Ming inserted the bolts on the iron fence. In the stove, Landa was boiling hot water. Ever since he had the conditions, Gao Ming would boil hot water every night. It's comfortable and sleeps better.

There is a stone basin on the stove. Since the iron was rich in their cave, the stone basin has been rarely used for cooking. The key point is that it consumes too much firewood, and the heat is very slow. They simply use it to boil hot water to wipe their faces. Gao Ming took off his sneakers , the whole foot was covered with sweat, the smell was too strong, under the firelight, Gao Ming held the shoe, and said sadly: "This shoe is about to be scrapped." I can't cherish it, but I have to go up and down the mountain every day like this, and I have traveled more than him in a year. No matter how much I cherish it, I can't bear it!

Landa heard the words, glanced over, pointed and said, "Is it going to be broken?"

The smell of the shoes was too strong. Gao Ming took the shoes and went to the entrance of the cave barefoot. He put down the shoes and said sadly, "Hurry up, don't you and Bujia wrap your feet in winter?" He used to go to elementary school in the countryside, and the school had no heating. They don't even have a coal stove, and their family is poor. In winter, his hands and feet get cold. Sometimes when he is in class, his feet are so itchy that he wants to scratch his shoes.

Landa shook her head, "Em didn't let me scratch my feet when they were itchy, and said that someone in the cave scratched their feet, and then they couldn't walk and were thrown away."

"Lost it?" Gao Ming couldn't believe it.

Landa nodded, "Brother Xiaoming, won't you be ashamed in your cave?"

Gao Ming shook his head blankly.

Landa showed a bit of longing on his face, "That's great, your hole must be very good."

"Under what circumstances would it be embarrassing?" Gao Ming asked.Originally thought that it was like Bujalanda Amu, who was old and weak, and would be ruthlessly thrown away because he had no labor force, but Landa said that he didn't seem to have studied this issue.

At first, Landa wondered why Brother Xiaoming didn’t know about it, but then he thought about it, Brother Xiaoming’s cave had never been humiliated before, so he smiled stupidly and explained: “I’m about to die, and Ah Mu said this will be passed on to other cavemen. , so it will be thrown away. Then there is the snow season, the most difficult time, the woman who can't bear children will be thrown away, the man with bad feet is a man, he can't walk, and he can't do the work that women do, so he will be thrown away gone."

That is the loss of infectious diseases and the loss of elderly women.Gao Ming didn't know what to say.

Landa was a little depressed, "Back then, my brother and I didn't want to be thrown away, so they kicked me and me out. If my brother hadn't come out to be with us, I would have died."

Gao Ming hugged Landa and stroked Landa's head, "You work so quickly and know many things that I don't know. Landa is so good. Your brother has found a treasure. The three of us don't want to lose any of them." Whoever it is, we are a family, and you are my younger brother."

The atmosphere in the cave became warmer for a while. Gao Ming hugged Landa, and when he turned around, he saw a pair of bright eyes outside the dark cave. half a voice.

Seeing that it was Bujia who came back, Landa's eyes were still red. He rushed to the door and whispered to Bujia, "Brother, I won't leave you behind when you get old." After speaking, he himself felt embarrassed , the awkward whole person exudes the breath of 'I'm so awkward, don't approach me'.

Buga placed the tree outside the cave, smiling all over his eyes, touched Landa with his dirty hands, and said firmly, "I won't leave you behind until I die." Then, with bright eyes, in the dark There was a flash of light in the middle, staring at Gao Ming, and said: "Family." Bujia was very unfamiliar with the word "family" before, and had no feeling at all.Although he has heard Gao Ming say it many times, he does not understand the meaning of the word family. Until now, when Gao Ming said "we are a family", he instantly understood the word family.

Gao Ming was the first to come back to his senses, and the three male adults were not used to their sensibility. "Landa, go and wipe your body with Bujia, and I will cook." Gao Ming turned around and hurriedly cooked. Poor why no one cares about him?Love, love, when he understood his sexual orientation, he felt that it would be difficult for him to have a family in his life, but now he sees hope.

Although his original family was broken and unhappy, he had to admit in his bones that he always wanted to have a happy place.

I am in a good mood and my appetite is good.

The big tree that Buga dragged back was placed outside the cave, and the iron gate was closed to make it airtight, and the whole cave began to warm up.Bujia and Landa studied the frame portrait painted by Gao Ming. The two brothers supported a nail, and Gao Ming put the marinated fish on the wire mesh and started to roast.

Landa, who was holding the wooden board, smelled the fragrance, and glanced at Gao Ming with small eyes. Seeing him, Bujia put down the hammer and said, "I'm tired, take a break."

Landa cheered and ran to Gao Ming's side with a rattling sound.

Gao Ming glanced at Bujia who was sitting on the stone bench. He didn't feel tired after chopping and sawing trees all afternoon. Tired after only a few knocks?Laughing twice, twisting Landa's face, "Have you learned the chopsticks yet?"

Landa frowned bitterly, "It's too difficult, I still use a spoon."

"Then I will use chopsticks to make delicious food in the future, so I won't eat it for you." Gao Ming deliberately teased Landa, turned the fish over, and the aroma became stronger.

Landa was so teased that she almost drooled, swallowed her saliva, and stared at the fish eagerly, as if she could eat a few mouthfuls. "I learn, I learn—"

Gao Ming was amused by Landa's gluttonous look, "Take the bowl and pack it up."

"Brother, it's all right!" Landa shouted cheerfully, holding the bowl with fish, swallowing, and putting it on the table. "Brother Ming, come and eat, come and eat."

Gao Ming originally wanted to finish roasting the second piece and let the two brothers eat it, but he didn't think so when he saw Bu Jiana's eyes, and immediately walked over happily with his bowl and chopsticks. He was really hungry after a day's work!
