life in primitive society

Chapter 3 The Confusion of Winter Melon Soup

There is winter melon, but how can I eat it?It is absolutely not acceptable to eat it raw. Chu Zhi remembered that he had eaten stir-fried winter melon or winter melon soup before.Now that the conditions are limited, after much deliberation Chu Zhi decided to cook winter melon and meat soup together. Although there is no seasoning, the taste is at least better than eating winter melon soup or meat alone.

When Chu Zhi told Gui, he also said that this way of eating was used by his former tribe. Although Gui thought it was quite novel to say so, after all, other tribes had also eaten it, so he promised to make it for them for dinner.

Because it was early summer and it was still early, Chu Zhi wondered if he should go nearby to see what was there.When he came here, he saw some familiar grass near the tribe, which looked like green onions or something.But it doesn't look like the shape, anyway, it's fine.Chu Zhila went there together, along with other children from the tribe.

"What is this?" Sheng squatted on the ground and watched Chu Zhi dig weeds over there. The things here are not edible as my mother said.Sheng is the same age as Chu Zhi, and his father Xu is a famous warrior in the tribe.In this era, warriors represent rights, and usually warriors have a say in tribal meetings.On the other hand, Xu's family members are also respected by others, and Sheng has developed a somewhat arrogant personality.

"Scallion." After finally digging out the whole root, Chu Zhi was so tired that he was sweating profusely.After all, it is not a healthy body, a little exercise can make him out of breath.Correctly, this one is called a shallot.I remember when I was a child, every time I went to my grandma’s house in the country, my grandma always went to the mountains to dig these shallots and gave him cold salad for him to eat.

Shallots are larger than ordinary shallots, and their roots grow deep in the soil, and the roots look a bit like garlic.And shallots have a stronger flavor than ordinary shallots, so they are delicious when served cold.But not now, there are not many shallots here, so Chu Zhi just digs up a few. In a society without seasoning, shallots should be able to exert their unique effects.

Sure enough, during dinner, Gui listened to Chu Zhi's suggestion and cooked the winter melon and cut meat for a long time.It wasn't until Chu Zhi agreed that he mixed the chopped shallots into the boiled meat. In an instant, a unique scent of chopped green onions accompanied by the smell of meat spread in the tribe.

After a while, there was a circle of people around the pot, and all of them were adults.Because this was a proposal from a four-year-old child, Gui only cooked one-third of the meat at home. He originally thought that even if it was not delicious, it would not be too wasteful. At least the men in the family should have other barbecues to eat. .So the amount in a ceramic pot is not a lot...

For the first time, Chu Zhi deeply hated the unequal rules and regulations of primitive tribes, why should warriors have priority.Old and young first, women first, you guys have never been to school, you know what a gentleman is! ! !

Chu Zhi held a piece of barbecue dryly, and then watched a group of tribal warriors shamelessly drinking soup and eating meat around the ceramic pot.The snorting sound of drinking soup made his eyes turn red.

"Why don't you eat it?" Se ate his share of barbecued meat, and looked curiously at Chu Zhi who was holding the piece of meat tightly.He felt that the partner he had picked up was so smart, with so many things in his mind.The li melon that my aunt said was not tasty, but it was cooked with the meat, and the grass was added.

Although he hasn't tasted it yet, Se thinks it must taste good.It was much more fragrant than what A Niang usually cooks. When she thought that Chu Zhi picked up such a cleverness by herself, she felt an indescribable sense of pride.

Tch, you little brat knows what to do, I call it melancholy!Do you understand melancholy! !Think about the hard work of transporting winter melons to the tribe, and digging shallots, and the result! ! !No reason, no reason! !

Although Chu Zhi still ate winter melon soup the next day, can it compare with the first day?This is Erguo, do you think a second marriage can be compared with a new marriage?Can it be compared?

Gui felt that the new kid was not very happy, but she didn't understand why?What a proud thing to be able to provide good food to the warriors of the tribe?Gui felt that this child was too young, and she had to teach him a lot of things.

If Chu Zhi knew Gui's thoughts, he would probably scold his father and mother again.

The tribe ate winter melon soup for several days in a row, and Chu Zhi got tired of eating it.He decided to go to the forest and get some fresh food anyway.Don't starve to death by then, but be fed up to death.

The forest nearby is actually quite big, at least Chu Zhi thinks so.He lived in a big city since he was a child, and occasionally went back to his hometown to visit his grandma, and he probably didn't go out much.As soon as they entered the woods, the children and the women were separated. Se ran over from a distance and handed him a purple-red fruit, smiling shyly. "Eat, this is Andi, it's delicious."

"Andi?" Chu Zhi took it, the fruit was oval, a bit like a mango.Chu Zhi wanted to peel off the skin, but found that the skin of the fruit was so thin that it almost stuck to the flesh.

Seeing Chu Zhi clumsily holding the Andy Fruit, Se quickly helped him wipe the fruit again with his hands, and handed it to him again. "Clean, eat."

Chu Zhi still appreciates how good sex is to him.Ting Sheng and the others said that if Se hadn't insisted on saving him, Fu and the others would have never cared about him.After all, children who will be abandoned by the tribe must basically have problems.But Fu had only one child, and finally agreed to take Chu Zhi in.

Chu Zhi took a bite of the Andy fruit, huh?The inside is actually red, and it tastes like cantaloupe.It's amazing.

Seeing that Chu Zhi likes to eat melons, he smiled smugly. Chu Zhi is very good-looking, even better than the girls in the tribe.Se thought of Chu Zhi's shameless rolling on the ground a few days ago, and couldn't help laughing.The girls in the tribe are not as delicate as he is.But Se really thinks that Chu Zhi is very cute, so he can't help but want to give him all the delicious and fun things.

"I'll go to the tree to pick the fruit, and I'll give it to you to eat at night." Se pointed to a big tree not far away, and Chu Zhi looked up and found that it was full of the same antidote as in his hand.He nodded hurriedly, smiling attentively.

"Go ahead, I'll take a look around." Chu Zhi licked his tongue as he gnawed an endiacle in a while.Not to mention, this broken forest can still grow high-quality products. He decided not to eat meat at night, but to eat only fruits.

As time goes by, the footsteps of summer are approaching, and the surrounding area is very hot.Those poorly built houses can’t hold people at all. People in the tribe are in the woods during the day, at least to reduce the light a little bit. Only when the men come back at night, women and children will return to the tribe to cook and sleep.

Chu Zhi was the one who came out with the air conditioner and air conditioner blowing on him. On such a hot day, Chu Zhi felt that it would be better if he fell to his death.This day is so hot that I can't live through it, let alone electricity, there is not even an electric fan, let alone an electric fan, there is not even a fan.

wait, fan...

Electric fans may not be able to do it, but fans can be made simple.Just do it, Chu Zhi pulled Se, who was lazily sleeping against the tree trunk, and pointed at himself.Se is very smart. Under Chu Zhi's training and training, she gradually has the consciousness of resisting oppression and innovating.

The two got up quietly, although Gui saw it but thought that children always like to play, so he didn't take care of them.The weather was too hot, and she didn't want to move too much, she just turned her seat from time to time to sit in a windy place.The days in summer are very long, and many elderly people will die of heat stroke on such days.

The cicadas in the woods are making an annoying noise, but there is nothing you can do about it.Chu Zhi and Se held hands, and after walking for a while, they found that a group of people followed them.The leader is Sheng, as well as Sheng's good friend Lie and others.

"Where are you going?" Since Chu Zhi appeared, Se didn't play with them very much. Sheng once expressed dissatisfaction with Se, but Se always protected Chu Zhi. Sheng didn't want to lose his good friend. can endure.

"Chu Zhi said he was going to find something." He frowned, feeling that Sheng's attitude was not good, especially towards Chu Zhi.

Chu Zhi's IQ was much higher than theirs, and Sheng and Lie couldn't hide their expressions at all.He just took the opportunity to secure his position among the little kids in the tribe.Chu Zhi's dark eyeballs are so friendly, and his small mouth is curved. "We're going to find Fanzi, Sheng, Lie, you can come with us, okay?"

"Fan? What's that?" Lie looked at Chu Zhi curiously. He also thought that Chu Zhi was really good-looking, but Se always pulled him by his side, and they couldn't get close.

"Hey, secret."

A group of little kids wore fur animal skirts, the perverted kid was the captain, Sheng was the vice-captain, and Lie was the study committee member.Although I don't know what it means for Chu Zhi to assign children, it feels like it should be a good thing.Sheng twitched his lips, expressing his temporary agreement.He doesn't care that the "deputy captain" can take care of other people?Don't care, absolutely don't care.

After walking around in the woods, Chu Zhi didn't find the materials he needed, but instead gave him an unexpected harvest.If he read correctly, there are actually a lot of ash trees in the woods to the east.This surprise made him give up the depression that he hadn't found any materials to make fans for the time being, and the irritability that the children started to chatter after walking for a long time.

Ash tree, as the name suggests, is a tree that can be made into candles.There is a kind of worm on the ash tree called ash worm, and the liquid secreted by the ash worm is the basic raw material for making candles. Of course, I will talk about this later.The heat is unbearable now, the most important thing is to find the basic materials for making fans.

The first thing is to find big leaves, the bigger the better.Chu Zhi remembered that when he was very young, his grandma always fanned the leaves of a plant. That kind of fan was made of pure plants, and the fan had a unique fragrance of plants.It seems to be called, by the way, called cattail fan.

The fan is made of the leaves of the palm tree. It is simple to make and is much more affordable than the modern ones that are exquisite but do not fan much wind.But Chu Zhi didn't know how to ask sex, and he didn't know what the palm tree was called in this society?

"You liar!" Sheng was tired and overheated, sitting on the ground angrily, staring at Chu Zhi with fierce eyes.If it wasn't for Se, he might have jumped on it and taken a bite.

"Brothers, I really didn't lie to you. I, Chu Zhi, was also a child who grew up under the red flag. That fan really has such a thing. Forget it, let me tell you the truth. I just want to find a kind of leaf." Chu Zhi held his hand He made a gesture: "It's so big, it's a bit round, and there are a lot of leaves on one leaf that are a little bit pointy..." How can I describe it to these uneducated little ghosts?Can't it be said to be fan-shaped at an acute angle?Chu Zhi was saddened, it's terrible to be uneducated.

"I know." Lie wiped the sweat from his hands, pulled Chu Zhi and ran forward.The little tail at the back naturally followed them, and Chu Zhi who was running felt that he was about to die, and when he was really about to die, they finally arrived.

Damn, a large piece of palmetto books is really not covered, this is too much! !Chu Zhi's mouth is a bit O-shaped. He wanted to find this, but he didn't expect that there were so many whole land.

"Is this it?" Lie had some elements of asking for credit.

"Yeah, yeah." Chu Zhi felt that it wasn't hot at all now, looking at the palmetto trees, what a heart.Great, finally there is a fan in summer, and there is also a pergola! !
