Searching for food through the beast world

Pack corals to take home

The next day, news came from the island that it was Mr. Gao who came over in person.Moreover, he solemnly handed over a fiery red thing to Kun.

"This is our precious letter stone, and I hope the two wise men can make good use of it." Regarding this decision, Village Chief Gao discussed with the villagers for almost a day and a night.Their island is not big, and there are only more than 200 people on the island, so they can't hide anything from the big guys.Because of this, he didn't want to change twenty wild beasts for himself, so he had to discuss it with everyone, otherwise he couldn't go into the sea by himself without fishing or something.It's just that there are so many people, so it's natural to have mixed conversations. At this time, he really envied Nayi's somewhat silly personality, at least he didn't lose a chance to get good food because of being overly vigilant.

Kun took the letter stone, and then solemnly bowed to Village Chief Gao. "We will definitely abide by the agreement. I can hunt a few prey for you before it gets dark today. But I hope that Nayi and Nabe can come to accompany my partner in these two days."

This condition is very reasonable, and Village Chief Gao nodded immediately: "This is what we should do. Then I won't bother you two now. Ah yes, I don't know if I can exchange two cans with you in my own name." What about the sauce? The food the day before yesterday was really delicious."

The curry is gone, but ready-made spices can still be collected in the forest. There are still some five spices left in Ding Xiao's backpack, so it is still possible to make two jars.It's nothing more than finding the spices on the way back.The deal has just been concluded, so it's not easy to refuse.But this time he wants a benefit: "Of course. But I don't have much materials, and I won't be able to collect them all until autumn when I go back. So can I exchange small pearls with you? As long as they can be strung together like Nabe A chain as thick as your wrist will do." That's a lot different than a necklace.

Good quality pearls are hard to come by, but small ones are no big deal.Generally, those beads that are not round and not beautiful, they are scooped up and crushed for medicinal purposes.So this requirement is simpler. "Of course. Bon will bring men for the game at night, and he'll bring the pearl chain."

"Xiaoxiao, what do you want the pearl chain for?" Kun asked while helping Ding Xiao light the fire after seeing off the people from the Tianyu clan.

Ding Xiao cut the fish and replied: "I want to scoop it back and give it to Jin. He will start learning to hunt at 25 next year. I plan to give it to him as a gift. I think he likes the pearl chain that Jing and Dingxi wore when they got married. , That's why I thought of it. Of course, the chain with good beads has to be given by his partner, and this is my brother's wish."

Kun asked: "Then, does my Xiaoxiao have anything he likes?"

Ding Xiao thought for a while and replied: "I already have what I want, why do I have so many demands. Our family is so capable, I can't be short of things. By the way, how many prey are there in the nearby forest? "

Kun replied: "It's okay. There are no beasts, and the biggest ones are pigs. I want to go farther and get some bigger ones. This way they can show more things you want. Anyway, you plan to scoop them back and share them with everyone." .”

"You really know me very well. We can eat and drink now, but the only thing that is difficult to deal with is the things in the sea. Although it's okay not to eat, it's good to have another delicious food, and it's good to be able to reciprocate with the Tianyu clan Well. Hey, tonight I will make this sweet and sour shrimp ball for you. This sea shrimp is so delicious. I ate one raw just now, and it was fresh and sweet! It’s a pity that you don’t like it. By the way, vinegar There is not much left of Hetang. The small villages of the two tribes exchanged all the things we carried. Next time we go out, I don’t know how many things we have to carry.” Really thinking about it, there is a kind of The illusion of travel. (Actually, it is not!)

In the evening, Aqi and Bang brought two Tianyu people.And Bang personally gave Ding Xiao a string of pearl bracelets that are round in shape even though they are only the size of dried soybeans.

Not seeing Na Yi, Ding Xiao was a little disappointed.In the past few days, that guy has come to chat with me every day, and I really miss him when I don't see him for a day.

But Aceh still brought Nayi's gift.It was a small cuttlefish.The size is only the length of a finger, and each of them still looks alive. "Na caught it all morning and asked me to bring it here for you. It's weird to say it's 'meaningful', and it's okay if you don't understand it. But take it."

Ding Xiao snickered, there's nothing I don't understand.This is quite understandable!This kid Na Yi knows how to eat just looking stupid, but it's really interesting! "Then thank you, Na Yi, and tell him that I will prepare something delicious for him tomorrow."

Kun used the afternoon to catch two cows, one was a big barefoot cow and the other was a smaller crooked horn cow.For Kun, it didn't take much effort to get the two cows back, but for the Tianyu tribe, the two cows that had not been divided in any way were not easy to scoop up or put into the raft.So Aqi had to ask Kun to help them divide the cow, but don't damage the cowhide and bones.

Dealing with prey is trivial.But it's not a good picture to watch the male orcs use their sharp claws to skin and remove the meat and bones at close range.In the past, most of the meat exchanged with the orcs outside was semi-dried meat or bacon, and only when eating in the enclosure would they be replaced with fresh meat.It is rare for them to see orcs handling fresh game.Now that they can see it so clearly, it really makes them admire while being shocked.No wonder some clansmen are willing to stay away from the sea, preferring to form a partner with a male orc by marriage.Really, so handsome!

Ding Xiao is doing the final work of collecting and thickening the sauce.Watching Kun directly process prey with seawater at Haichazi not far away, and then watching the admiring gazes of those Tianyu people, it is really a strange visual impression. "As expected, Nayi and Nabe are the most pleasing to my eyes." He muttered in his heart.

From the next day, Kun went out to hunt every morning and afternoon.Twenty preys are actually easy for him. Village Chief Gao didn't ask for the type, so the size doesn't matter.But Kun will not cut corners. This has nothing to do with how many seafood can be exchanged in the future. It is related to the hunting ability and bravery of the Maverick males.He will never be lazy in matters related to the face of the tribe.

Ding Xiao, accompanied by Nayi and Nabe, led them to look for edible plants in the forest.Among them, the white beans and sweet potatoes that can make you hungry are the key points.

"Are there any forests on your island?" Ding Xiao asked while digging white beans.

Na spoke quickly, and immediately replied: "Of course there is. The forests on our island are still very large, and those trees grow very fast. They can grow from small shoots to tall trees in a year. They can still bear fruit. .Unfortunately, most of the fruits have a strange taste and are not tasty."

Don't want to eat strange-tasting fruit?Due to "occupational disease", Ding Xiao's first reaction was: "Then can I bring two of that kind of fruit tomorrow? I haven't seen it before."

Na Yi quickly nodded: "Of course! I am very good at climbing trees. There is also a milk fruit tree on our island. The milk fruit is delicious. Children grow up eating it. I can secretly pick it for you to taste. , Aqi occasionally picks a few for me. Hehe."

Nabe felt that his younger brother was getting more and more ashamed.But seeing that Ding Xiao not only didn't mean to laugh at all, but was full of anticipation like Na Yi.He was speechless.It seems that even being a wise man is not necessarily perfect.It's really rare that Nayi can get along so well with the half-orcs of the winged tiger clan who are so far away.Do you want to say "Congratulations"?

After hearing what Nabei had said about the island, Ding changed his joke and asked Nabei, "Brother Nabei, what do you think of the white beans and sweet potatoes?"

Nabe was taken aback for a moment, then nodded: "It's delicious. You can get full quickly. What you cook is delicious when paired with animal meat and fish."

Ding Xiao said again: "Then I will teach you to bring these two things back to your island and plant them. In the future, even if you can't dig in the woods on the coast, you can dig them on the island. What do you think?"

Ding Xiao's words shocked Nabe.It never occurred to him that they could bring things from the land back to the island instead of eating them directly, but put them underground so that they could continue to grow on the island.If that's the case, can they also bring back the live beasts and raise them on the island so that they can breed offspring? "Really? Are you willing to teach us such a secret?"

"Because I regard you as friends. You see, I look like you, both with black hair and black eyes. I feel very kind when I see you." Ding Xiao said with a smile.

Na Yi immediately responded: "I also think Xiaoxiao is very kind! Brother, didn't you say that there are not many Tianyu people like us with black hair and black eyes? Maybe Xiaoxiao was related to us a long time ago. "

Ding Xiao had a dark line in his heart.Maybe, maybe a long, long time ago, or a long, long time later. "So don't think too much about it. It's not too difficult, but I'm not sure if the land on your island can grow these two things. Try it first! I said you both remember it !” So ​​Ding Xiao used the white beans and sweet potatoes that he dug up to explain in detail how to plant them with Nabe and Nayi.

It took Kun six days to hand over [-] prey of relatively reasonable size to Bibo Village.And during these six days, Nabe and Nayi followed Ding Xiao not only to learn how to dig and eat what can be eaten in the forest, but also how to grow white beans and sweet potatoes, as well as ginger, which is very good for them, and how to taste it. How to make spicy and hot wasabi into wasabi puree and how to adjust the taste.In addition, Ding Xiao also gave them the methods of refining and using oil.After experimenting, Ding Xiao felt that among the fish that Aqi and the others sent, only a few kinds of fish could be refined into fish oil that he could accept.But Nayi and Nabe didn't think the fish oil they couldn't accept was too fishy.It really is a racial difference!

The generosity of Ding Xiao and Kun made the Tianyu people in Bibo Village, especially Aqi, Nayi and Nabei very grateful.For this reason, Nabe gave Ding Xiao his ten big and round black pearls. "This is my wish, you must accept it."

Looking at the ten beads, Ding Xiao's eyes widened.This is a good baby!Although this should be regarded as a luxury, and I am reluctant to scoop it up and grind it into medicine, it must be hidden under the box at home.But this is the true friendship of new friends! "I'm too embarrassed to accept such an expensive gift."

Na Yidao: "Then you also gave us a very beautiful crystal chain. Ai Shi and the others are so envious! But only my brother and I have it. Smile, can you stay for a few more days? I don't know when we meet next time how long."

Ding Xiao patted Nayi on the shoulder: "Soon, we can make an appointment to meet at the wall."

Na Yitan said, "That's the only way to go. Now, you scoop up these milk fruits and strange flavor fruits, and come to me whenever you want to eat them. I'll pick a lot for you." After speaking, the circles of the eyes turned red.

Ding Xiao also felt the same way.No matter how brief the acquaintance is about to part, there will be a little bit of reluctance.But fortunately, I have hundreds of years to live in this life, so I can often visit to see these two friends who look like people from my hometown. "Okay. When I come here in the future, I will roast delicious meat here. When you smell the smell, you will know that I am here."

When leaving the beach, Ding Xiao's eyes were reddened by Na Yiye.Fortunately, Brother Kun ran extremely fast with a few packs of half-dried seafood on his back, otherwise this kind of parting drama was really not something he could bear.I really didn't expect Na Yi to be so provocative.Really lost to him.

"Smile, from now on, if you want to make friends with people from that place every time you go to that place, won't you be unhappy every time you leave?" Kun slowed down and muttered while stepping on the tiger's paw.

Ding Xiao moved to the big tiger's neck and reached out to grab Kun's ear. "Are you kidding me? Am I willing to do this? It's not that Nayi is trying to provoke me like this!" So boys who say too much sentimental are not easy to serve. "But yeah, they're not like us. There's no way Aceh can walk around Aomori Onaichi. If we don't come over, it's not in the fence, and he might not really have a chance to see us. But you scooped theirs Coral, there are still many opportunities in the future.”

"Coral? What is that?" Brother Kun didn't understand.

Ding Xiao curled his lips: "It's the letter stone that Village Chief Gao gave you. It's made of coral."

"What is coral? Can it be eaten? Can the sky see it?" If it is edible, will it be spoiled?This is what Kun is most concerned about.

Ding Xiao was amused all of a sudden: "Let's put it simply. This coral is a kind of coral polyp... spit out in the sea. It will never rot. In our era, many people like to use Coral is made into jewelry, like necklaces and bracelets. But when it comes to eating, it’s not impossible. Coral is also a kind of medicinal material. It can improve eyesight and calm the nerves. But you are willing to scoop up this piece of coral and let the priestess scoop it up. Fen trying to make a prescription?"

As soon as Kun heard it, there was only one answer: "No need, I'll just take it with me. It will be useful in the future."

Lie down and put his arms around the tiger's neck, which he couldn't hug at all, Ding Xiao rubbed on the tiger's fur: "Kun, we still have to go to the Flying Leopard Clan to fetch cattle. Let's wait for the next opportunity to dig those native products. How about it?"

Kun nodded: "Okay. Listen to you. Let's hurry up these few days. If you scoop up the cows quickly, you can go home quickly. It's not easy to get ten cows back."

Ding Xiao suddenly had a brainstorm: "If you can't carry or pull it, then tie it. Just like I tie a rope around the lamb's neck, tie these cows. Then lead them back. Although it is not easy, but It’s better than losing it and killing it.” So, although it’s bold and heroic to exchange so much, it’s also very cheating! !
