Through the wild age

Chen Qiao's biggest dream now is to own a wok, an iron wok!People are always like this. After living a life without worrying about food and clothing, they will start to pay attention to the quality of life.And the most important of these is appetite.

But for now, dreams and reality are still very far away.Some of the iron tools they make now are straight and have no curvature, otherwise, like sickles, they only have curvature in one direction.This is mainly because the molds they use now are all single-sided, and the technical level is still very immature.

And if you want to use a composite mold, the technical difficulty will be much higher, and you have to go through repeated exploration and experimentation.Obviously, no one in the tribe has such leisure time, so Chen Qiao is also embarrassed to make such a request to others.

So the tangled and bored person asked Dila to go up the mountain with him.Even if the cooking method cannot be improved, at least the ingredients should be improved, right?

Chen Qiao asked Baya to take Maixi to the field to play today, so that he could take care of the children while farming.Although Maixi is four years old this year, it is still impossible to let him stay at home alone.

"Father, I want to go to the mountain too." Macy made a serious request.

"That's impossible, you're only four years old."

"How old do you have to be to go up the mountain?" Mai Xi was upset.

"At least nine years old."

"Hmm..." Macy counted with his fingers, and found that he was less than half the age of nine, so he quit immediately, "Hmph, it's been so long!"

"Okay, I'll go up the mountain for you at the age of eight." The child still wanted to coax.

"Six years old." The child who was taught badly by someone began to bargain.

"Tch, can you climb a mountain at the age of six?"

"Then seven years old..." Mai Xi already wanted to cry, he felt that seven years old was so far away.

"Well then, for the sake of being so sensible, you should only be seven years old. Then you have to obey your father obediently."

"En. Dad, you have to come back early." He didn't want to stay with his father all day, because his father was so boring, he couldn't tell stories, and he couldn't coax people.

"Okay, here we go. Dilla..."

"Father..." Mai Xi held a bamboo stick in his hand and stood at the door with tears in his eyes.

Chen Qiao glanced back, he couldn't do it, he had to leave quickly, lest he accidentally do the stupid thing of taking a four-year-old child up the mountain.He shook his hand to let him go back to the house, and then took Dila's hand and ran away like flying.

As a result, seeing this scene made Mai Xi even more sad. Dad took Dila and ran away, woo woo, don’t want Mai Xi... Although I knew in my heart that they were just on the mountain, I still couldn’t help but think wildly. This is the thinking of children and adults. the difference.

Baya stood helplessly at the side, watching Maixi sitting at the door crying heartbroken, helpless and didn't know what to do.

The imaginative kid Macy has already abandoned Chen Qiao and ran away with Dila, and then met a beautiful person in another place, and combined the scene of a happy family, in his mind An infinitely sad interpretation.In a few years, they'll have a baby...well... Daddy's gonna forget Macy...

The more he thought about it, the sadder he became, and the more sad he was, the louder he cried... The more he cried, the more helpless Baya became...

However, even if he ran away, Chen Qiao's troubles were not over yet.Don't forget, Dila is actually a hidden talker. Since meeting Chen Qiao, his desire to confide has been well vented.

They haven't been alone much recently, and Dilla has been holding back for a while, because he will always be the child of few words in front of people.

Today, he finally got an opportunity, how could he let it go easily, so along the way... In short, Comrade Chen Qiao was very miserable, because the young heart of a child cannot be hurt, so he had to sacrifice his ears.

It is gratifying that Dilla is also very focused when working, so when they found the first plant available, they dug in that area. At the same time, Chen Qiao's ears were also temporarily repaired. liberation.

This kind of plant looks a bit like malnourished garlic. Chen Qiao dug up a plant, which can be judged as the ancestor of garlic.He peeled off the garlic and tasted it. It was good. There was a bit of spicy taste in the garlic, and the taste was stronger than the garlic he had eaten before.

Carefully dig up the garlic together and put in a special basket. When the basket is almost full, Chen Qiao picks up the basket and takes Dila to continue walking.

They walked farther than usual today. Since the tribe had bows, arrows and machetes, they had never seen any large beasts in the vicinity, so they dared to go up the mountain boldly today, but they also carried self-defense weapons on their bodies.

There are many fruit trees on this mountain, and it is still spring, so he doesn't know many of them. In autumn, he will probably be able to pick a lot of wild fruits.

On the way, I picked some mushrooms and the like, and put them directly on the garlic. Anyway, the mushrooms are also very light.

There is a depression in front of it, a piece of green plants grow on the sunny hillside, it looks familiar, but I can't remember what it is for a while.On the green and slender poles, there are leaves that are slenderer than bamboo leaves one by one. Although they seem to be only palm high, they are very conspicuous when they grow whole.

They carefully pushed aside the weeds with wooden sticks and walked over. Chen Qiao took out a sickle and dug. After digging out the tubers, a scent of ginger came to the nostrils.Most of the ground is aged ginger, which is fragrant and spicy.

So they dug another basket, and after that, both baskets were filled, and they returned home.Of course, along the way, Chen Qiao still enjoyed the magic sound piercing her ears.

Chen Qiao looked at today's harvest, and didn't know whether to be happy or sad. There was ginger and garlic but no pot.It seems that there is only one step away from delicious food, but it is extremely far away. The greatest pain in the world is nothing like this.

Baya has never been as genuinely happy to see Chen Qiao as this time. He really can't do things like seeing children, especially a little devil like Mai Xi. Think about how quiet Dila was when she was a child. Be nice.

However, if one day he knew how endless Dila's chatter was, he probably wouldn't think so.

Chen Qiao sprinkled some water on the things dug back today, put them in a cool corner, and then had to serve their young master.It's just a day apart, this kid has become extremely clingy right now.

"Are you obedient today?" Chen Qiao poured well water to wipe the little cat's face.

"Yes!" Someone replied boldly, and Baya, who was listening, felt ashamed of his son.

"Dilla, come here and wash your face." Chen Qiao didn't bother to expose his little lies, he was very busy at the moment and didn't have time to tease the children.

"Oh." Dila was playing with chopping wood with a knife and didn't know what to make out of it. He reluctantly put down the things in his hand and ran to the well to wipe his face.

Now that spring has not yet passed, Chen Qiao does not encourage children to take a bath every day. Firstly, it is too troublesome, and secondly, it is easy to catch a cold.Adults are easier to deal with. These people are as strong as cattle, and they rarely get sick.
