Chapter 882 Delicious Soil (3 in 1)
Salt, for people in this era, really has endless temptations.
Especially for tribes like the Xi tribe who already know the wonderful taste of salt and still feel that they cannot do without salt, salt is really very important, and it also has a fascinating charm.
So, after this person pointed at the mountain that was cracked by something, and called out the word 'salt', all these people in the Xi tribe couldn't help getting excited, feeling their hearts pounding. There was a bang, and some people even raised their overdeveloped chest muscles, which were driven by the violent beating heart.
Even the older female primitive woman who wanted to go back the most didn't say anything about going back at this time, looking at the exposed large expanses of white, her eyes almost revealed light.
Salt is a good medicine, and it has the effect of blatantly blatantly. At this time, the courage of these people in the Xi tribe has increased by more than 10%.
"#¥WEe salt!"
No, the older female primitive who wanted to take the lead in escaping just now was the first to yell, pointing at the exposed white, her expression was so excited that she never talked about going back to the tribe. .
After she said a few words to everyone, she took the lead and walked towards the exposed white.
The rest followed her there too.
Of course, there is still some fear, otherwise the older female primitive woman would not have held the weapon so tightly in her hand, and raised half of the bronze tiger amulet so high.
Especially when climbing up the slumped mountain and moving forward, the older female primitives felt that their legs were weak and they had almost no strength.
But looking up at the half of the tiger talisman in his hand, and then at the pieces of white salt, the older female primitive couldn't help but continued to go up.
The people who followed were in a similar state to her.
The mountain that just slid down looked extremely steep, and because the soil was all wet, it was very difficult to climb up.
It was very difficult for the people of the Xi tribe to climb up, and even two people accidentally rolled down from the top and got covered in muddy water.
However, these people did not go back, and continued to climb up after getting up.
After some hardships,
The older female savages who crawled ahead were the first to come to the lowest place where the big white thing they thought was salt.
She stuck the stick-shaped weapon in her hand on the ground, and then with a slightly trembling hand, she took a little bit of white salt from it, and put it in her mouth impatiently.
However, in many cases, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, such as now.
The older female primitive woman of the Xi tribe, full of joy and excitement, froze her expression after putting some white things into her mouth.
All the joy and excitement in my heart disappeared, replaced by deep disappointment.
The people who climbed up later, after seeing her reaction, probably understood something, and disappointment flooded towards them.
But there are still many people who are unwilling to believe that these are true, so they reach out and buckle some white things that look very similar in color to the salt they bought from the Qingque tribe and put them into the empty mouth.
The taste of salt did not come as expected, and those who do not give up can only become give up.
The people who were elated and joyful just now were like eggplants beaten by frost, their heads drooping, and the atmosphere seemed sad.
The raindrops falling from the sky aggravated the sad atmosphere even more.
Under such emotions, a person who tasted this kind of thing they thought was salt not long ago couldn't help moving his mouth, just like after eating something, he couldn't help but smack his mouth and savor it carefully. .
After doing this for a while, the man stretched out his hand and took some of this white thing that they thought was salt into his mouth, and tasted it carefully.
This white, soil-like thing is a bit slippery and soft in the mouth.
Chew with your teeth, it still feels like this, and it won't hurt your teeth.
There is no taste of sweetness, saltiness, bitterness, etc. It is not unpalatable, but at the same time it is not delicious. It is a very common kind of thing.
The man wriggled his mouth for a while, swallowed what looked like white mud, and then his eyes lit up uncontrollably.
"W%^x-on:3!"
She couldn't help shouting to everyone, her voice filled with joy and excitement.
Everyone who understood what she meant, also turned their attention away from the disappointment that this thing was not salt, and clasped some with their hands and sent it to their mouths.
After being reminded by this person, they no longer just pay attention to whether these things are salty or not, but start to pay attention to other aspects.
After a while, the eyes of these people began to brighten one after another.
Because they found that this thing is really edible as the man said!
It is not bitter, has no peculiar smell, and does not hurt teeth, which is good news for them.
It doesn't matter if the taste is poor, as long as it can be used to satisfy the hunger and fill the stomach.
Moreover, they also have the salt they bought from the kind and powerful Qingque tribe, which can make food extremely delicious.
Wait for someone to sprinkle some salt on it before eating, won't this thing become delicious?
As a result, the crowd who were still full of disappointment just now were suddenly filled with joy.
This is a new food!
And here are so many more!
With these foods, the life of my own tribe can suddenly become very easy in the future.
Even if you can't hunt or gather any food, with this new food emerging from the soil, you and others will never go hungry again!
Some people even thought of using this new food to exchange things with the Qingque Tribe.
In the past, because the amount of food obtained by the tribe was limited, it was already a bit difficult to exchange for salt.
The Qingque Tribe, besides salt, has many good things.
For example, the thing that is different from the animal skin and looks good when tied on the hair, which is called the red head rope by the people of the Qingque tribe.
Things like soaps that make hair smooth, clean and smell good.
As well as the kind of comb used for hair care, and the kind of clothes that are very airy and different from animal skins in this season...
For these things, they have been looking forward to it for a long time, but because there is too little in the tribe, there is not much to get these things other than salt, so they can only bury these expectations deeply in their hearts.
But now, everything seems to be different all of a sudden.
With this plentiful food that can be dug from the earth, they can afford to exchange for these things they have longed for!
It is a woman's nature to like beauty, and it is what every woman wants to do to dress herself up beautifully.
Whether it is ancient times or later generations, it is the same.
In the past, when the Xi tribe was incapable, these people buried their wishes deeply in their hearts.
Now, after having the ability, these people immediately want to start the mode of buying, buying, buying.
"#%5x-on:3..."
The older female primitive woman said to everyone very excitedly.
What she meant was to quickly dig up some of this new food and bring it back to the tribe. After the leader and the others came back, they would eat it today.
So everyone dug it up with the sticks in their hands, and carefully put the white soil-like food they dug out on the leaves they picked to keep out the rain.
Everyone dug a lot, and after confirming that there was enough food for everyone in the tribe, these people clamped the weapons made of wooden sticks under their arms, and held the white soil food placed on the big leaves with both hands, facing down Appears to walk carefully.
In fact, these people from the Xi tribe are reluctant to leave here like this, but it is still raining, and the fur wrapped around many of them has been soaked by the rain, and the cool rain water feels very cold on their bodies.
This state is obviously not suitable for staying outside. They need to return to the cave as soon as possible, drink some hot water boiled from the precious pottery bought from the Qingque tribe, and then dry the water on their bodies with fire. , let the body become warmer.
Otherwise, some people may die because of it.
This is the experience they have gained after living for a long time.
Of course, in the past, there were only things like avoiding rain, drying the fur and body with fire, and drinking hot water. In recent years, they got pottery from the Qingque tribe and learned how to use pottery. Hot water is added after it can warm people up quickly.
Fortunately, they are the only tribe nearby, so they don't have to worry too much about the food coming out of the soil being taken away by the rest of the people.
These people returned to the cave with the white food in their hands. Those minors who seemed a little nervous waiting in the cave, as well as some adults who didn't go and were not strong enough, after seeing so many white things, and After hearing that these are edible foods, and that there are many, many more, I suddenly became very happy.
For these people, there is no better news.
Not only is there nothing scary in the place where the loud noise is made, but there are so many edible foods. This kind of transformation is really extremely enjoyable.
Many people swallowed their saliva and tried to eat this new food, but they didn't eat too much.
This is because the leaders have not returned yet, and it is not yet time to eat food on a large scale.
They can only drink more hot water boiled in pottery to satisfy their hunger.
Although when there is not much food in the stomach, the more you drink hot water, the hungrier you will be, but it is better to have something in your stomach than nothing.
While waiting like this, the rain outside was still pattering down, which wet the ground and made the air much colder at the same time.
Time passed by little by little, but because there was no sun outside and it was always cloudy, the light did not change significantly, so it was difficult for people to judge how long the time had passed and how long it would be dark.
While everyone was waiting like this, after an unknown amount of time, the leaders of the Xi tribe finally came back from the outside with the dripping animal skins on their heads.
They had good luck this trip and caught some prey.
It is impossible to feed everyone, but it is basically enough to put it in a clay pot and boil it with more water.
The leader of the Xi tribe carried a prey and hurried towards the cave.
On the one hand, it was because they were very happy to have hit the prey, and on the other hand, many of them were already half-wet by the rain, and needed to return to the cave to warm up.
The people of the Xi tribe who had been looking forward to the leader's return all the time couldn't help cheering after seeing the leader of the Xi tribe.
They couldn't wait for the leader to return, and then told them the great news.
The leaders of the Xi tribe only thought that these people in the tribe were so happy when they saw the prey they were holding in their hands, so those who held the prey in their hands raised the prey in their hands high, Those who didn't take the prey puffed out their chests, each proudly looking like a big rooster that just got off the back of a little hen.
Seeing the leader and the others like this, the people who stayed in the cave cheered even louder.
The leaders of the Xi tribe couldn't help pushing their chests higher, not to mention the pride and satisfaction in their hearts.
However, when they returned to the cave, saw the white food, and heard about the experience and discovery of these people in the tribe after they left, the leaders of the Xi tribe couldn't help blushing.
I feel uncomfortable for the proud and complacent look of myself and others just now.
But this discomfort was quickly replaced by intense joy.
Compared with the large amount of food that can be easily obtained, what I and others experienced just now are nothing at all.
Therefore, the leader of the Xi tribe hurriedly asked these people in the tribe where they found these new foods that could be eaten.
After a while, the leader of the Xi tribe, who had just had two sips of hot tea, led the people out of the cave, and walked there under the leadership of the older female primitives.
Because the leader and the others had returned, and the rain was not as heavy as before, the older minors also came out together.
They also wanted to see that magical place.
"#¥5WE..."
Looking at the peeling off mountain body and the large pieces of new white food exposed from the mountain body, the people including the leader of the Xi tribe couldn't help cheering.
For them, this is really very good, very good news.
After all, most of them ate some of this new white food not long ago.
After everyone cheered for a while, they dug up some of this white clay-like food again, and brought them back to the cave.
"#¥5YU..."
After returning to the cave, under the assignment of the leader of the Xi tribe, everyone began to process the prey they hunted today and prepare for cooking.
The older female primitive pointed to the newly obtained white food and recommended it to the leader of the Xi tribe.
What she meant was that the people in the tribe could eat part of this new food and some of the prey they had reached, so that everyone could still drink the delicious broth tomorrow morning.
Those who discovered this new food with the older female primitives also looked eagerly at their leaders.
This is a kind of psychology that many people have, hoping that what they discover can be recognized by others as soon as possible.
For them, the greatest degree of recognition is to let people in the tribe eat this new white food.
The leader of the Xi tribe was very moved by what he said, but after thinking about it, he still didn't do so.
"#¥x-on:#..."
He shook his head at the older female primitives, meaning that he needed to wait a while for people to try it, and confirmed that this new food was indeed edible before eating it on a large scale.
"#5WE..."
After understanding the meaning of the leader, the older female primitive said, meaning that she still has these people. When she first discovered it, she tried these new foods, and nothing happened. They are still alive and kicking now. of.
In order to increase the credibility, convince the leader earlier that while she was saying this, she really jumped up on the spot.
Of course, everything would have been more perfect if the animal skins on his body hadn't been jumped off.
The other female primitive people also nodded one after another, and beat their chests vigorously, in order to prove to the leader that there is really nothing wrong with eating this new food.
In fact, this new white food, the leader of the Xi tribe brought people back, and after hearing about it, he also tried it. At this time, he also didn't feel any discomfort in his body, but he still felt a little uncomfortable. rest assured.
"#¥%6..."
After thinking like this for a while, the leader of the Xi Tribe shook his head vigorously, and at the same time he opened his mouth to tell everyone what he thought.
His idea is that everyone will still drink the broth tonight, and at the same time choose one person to let her eat more of this new white food.
After eating for two days in a row, it was confirmed that there was nothing wrong, and then it was eaten on a large scale in the tribe.
Although the older female primitives felt that the leader was too cautious, but the leader said so, they had no choice but to follow the leader's wishes.
The older female primitive woman was the first to express to the leader of the Xi tribe that she would like to try this new food.
The rest, especially those who were the first to discover this new food, followed suit, saying that they were also willing to try this new food.
They had tried this new food with their own mouths before, and they didn't think it was poisonous.
And this kind of trying new food, once successful, the status in the tribe can be greatly improved.
They naturally don't want to miss such a good thing.
Of course, it is up to the leader to decide who will try this new food in the end.
"#¥5x-on:!"
The leader of the Xi tribe glanced at everyone, then pointed to a person and asked her to try this new white food.
The person he pointed to looked older than the older female primitives, and his whole body looked weak.
The cheeks are sunken, the cheekbones are high, and there is not much flesh.
Such a person is not very useful in the tribe.
So the leader of the Xi tribe entrusted her with this task.
After receiving this task, this person not only did not feel any fear, on the contrary, she was also very happy.
After all, she had seen the fact that everyone rushed to try this new food just now, and knew that this new food was not a big problem.
Moreover, as she got older, her status in the tribe became more and more unbearable, and she became a cumbersome existence, and the food she was given each time was also the least and worst.
After trying this new food this time and confirming that it is an edible food, the status in the tribe will be greatly improved, and life will be improved a lot accordingly, so she is like this Happy.
Primitives, too, weigh the pros and cons.
Under the envious gaze of the older female primitive and others, the old primitive grabbed the new food with his hands and sent it to his mouth.
This new food tastes soft, slippery, and does not break the teeth, which is very suitable for people like old primitive people.
The old primitive man hasn't had enough to eat for a long time, so she won't let go of the opportunity to eat more at this time, she grabbed this new white food with her hands and kept sending it to her mouth until she was a little full , before stopping.
The feeling of being full was really good. After drinking some hot water, the old primitive burped and showed a satisfied and happy smile.
Seeing such a scene, everyone in the Xi tribe was overjoyed.
So happy they got such good new food...
"#¥5E..."
As night fell, the Xi tribe cave that drank the broth was not as quiet as usual. Everyone involuntarily looked at the primitive woman lying on the hay, anticipating and excited.
The leader of the Xi tribe even asked the old primitive how he felt after a while.
Every time, facing the leader's question, the old primitive man would smile and nod.
Everyone who watched this scene was even more joyful, even the leader of the Xi tribe was full of smiles.
This kind of greeting lasted for quite a while before it finally came to an end.
With hope and joy, everyone began to rest.
The well-fed old primitive man also began to rest, and soon fell asleep.
I don't know how long it took, but the strong abdominal pain woke the old primitive man from his deep sleep. The pain was so severe that she couldn't help but bowed her body.
After enduring here for a while, she finally couldn't bear it any longer, she got up from the ground with some difficulty, clutched her stomach and walked towards the cave entrance, and went outside to have a bowel movement.
However, my legs were numb from squatting, my stomach was so painful that I was sweating all over, and nothing came out.
So she stood up tremblingly and walked into the cave, and couldn't help calling out.
This kind of movement quickly woke up the rest of the people in the cave. After seeing the appearance of the old primitive man, the people who were still dreaming just now couldn't help being surprised.
After a while, accompanied by the leader of the Xi Tribe and others, the old primitive man came out of the cave again to carry out a great solution...
