Chapter 889

Xu Yin came over to inspect them a few times, and saw that they had learned well, so she took Ah Chun and others to process the batch of nuts.

The first thing to deal with is the sweet chestnut.

Peel off the thorn shells, take the thorn shells to dry, and then use them as firewood.

The fruit can be stored for a long time after drying.

"Big Wu, can I eat this way?"

Ah Chun forcefully broke open a big sweet chestnut, looked at the light yellow flesh inside and asked.

"It can be eaten, the taste is different from cooked, you can try it."

"I want to eat! Mom give it to me!"

"I want to eat, too!"

The cubs squatting beside to help peel the thorns couldn't break the sweet chestnuts in their hands, so they stretched out their hands to ask for the ones in Ah Chun's hands.

Xu Yin rubbed their little heads: "No hurry, everyone can taste one."

She picked a few large sweet chestnuts, held them in the palm of her hand and gently broke them off. The hard brown shell of each sweet chestnut was cracked, revealing the bright yellow flesh inside.

The cubs opened their bright black eyes and looked at Xu Yin with admiration:

"Big witch, you are amazing!"

"That goes without saying! Our big witch is the most powerful of all the tribes!"

"My father said so too!"

"My parents said so!"

"My father, mother, and grandfather all said so!"

"..."

Can this be noisy?

Xu Yin couldn't help laughing, and gave each of them a piece of raw sweet chestnut: "Try the raw ones first, and then try the cooked ones later, and see which one tastes better."

Needless to say, cooked chestnuts must be more delicious.

Although raw sweet chestnuts are fragrant, sweet and crunchy, they always have this kind of taste.

There are more ways to eat cooked chestnuts, and the taste is richer: boiled chestnuts are glutinous and glutinous, with original flavor; roasted chestnuts are slightly burnt and rich in fragrance; stewed meat is nourishing and nourishing.

After eating a sweet chestnut feast that night, the cubs were too full to move their legs.

In the past, after dinner, they would fight and dance in the open space in front of the cave until they were carried into the cave by their parents to sleep.

They ate too much tonight, just after they were full Xu Yin told them to sit down for a while before moving around, and they obediently leaned in their parents' arms and helped sort out the acorns.

Xu Yin picked out the small, skinny acorns that had been sieved, and taught them to make slingshots out of small tree branches and leftovers of animal skins by the campfire, and the small, skinny acorns were used as bullets.

"You can play for fun, and you can beat bad people, but you are not allowed to bully your clansmen."

"Big Witch, we listen to you!"

The cubs are so happy to receive this gift.

Their parents are also happy, because Da Wu said that although plump acorns cannot be eaten raw, they can be used as a food that is completely different from the taste of chestnuts and can be used as a staple food and a dish.

"Go to bed early today, and I will teach you tomorrow."

Everyone cheered in unison.

"Kun, the big witch of Xu's tribe knows a lot!" Kun's tribe said enviously.

"I heard Ah Chun and the women say that with a random kick from their big witch, they kicked to death a beast that could not be surrounded by ten people."

"I've also heard that their sorcerers are extremely powerful! They can defeat ten with one."

"Otherwise, the four-legged winged beast would not be subdued."

Kun nodded.

Although their big witch knows a lot, the crisis a while ago was resolved by his ability to predict.

Otherwise, they didn't know that the Winged Tribe would besiege them, so they couldn't send someone to the other side of the river for help in advance, so that night would be the day of their entire tribe's demise.

But in other respects, he also had to admit that it was indeed the great witches of the Xu tribe who knew a little better, and they were extremely powerful, and they ran extremely fast, not to mention one against ten, one against a hundred.

I thought of what Min said that day: "Guangming, the Guangming tribe that is not in the south."

Kun put his hands behind his head, and suddenly thought: Guangming, is it in the Xu tribe?
That's more to make friends with it than to be an enemy.

Kun and the others learned how to burn pottery and make bows and arrows, bowed down to Xu Yin with the highest etiquette, and then went back to the tribe to get busy.

As he expected, the tribal people were dumbfounded when they heard that they had learned the skills of making pottery and bows and arrows from the Xu tribe.

Yu blurted out: "Father, the Xu clan does not agree to trade with us, so don't have such daydreams!"

Kun was angry and funny: "What daydream? We really learned these two technologies, why should we delay for so long? But it's not for nothing."

He described Xu Yin's conditions in detail.

Even so, the tribal people were still surprised.

"Just the first two years? After two years, it will be our free use?"

"Bows and arrows only need one year? Six sets a month, only 72 sets a year. After teaching us such a powerful weapon, we only need to pay 72 sets, and it will be ours?"

They looked at each other in blank dismay, and they all felt that Xu's tribe was too easy to talk to, right?

"It's because they regard us as a tribe of brothers, brothers whose blood is thicker than water, so they don't care so much, and they are willing to help us become stronger together." Kun repeatedly said, "So, in the future, when we encounter good opportunities and discover good things, share with them too."

"that's for sure!"

"Not to mention anything else, just because they saved our lives, they should share!"

Min stroked his long gray beard and smiled gratifiedly.

Thinking again of the astrology glimpsed not long ago: the light, neither in the south nor in the north, is right in front of their eyes.

As for what Kun said, the great witch of Xu's tribe wanted to learn pre-prediction from him, which made him a little embarrassed.

It's not that I don't want to teach, but that I don't know how to teach.

His ability to prescient has existed since he could remember, and it can only be understood but cannot be expressed in words.

"However," he stroked his long gray beard, "I'm willing to tell her every bit of what I know, but I don't guarantee that these are prevision spells."

Min was willing to tell her everything, and Xu Yin was very happy.

If you can learn a little bit, it doesn't matter if you can't learn it. It's always good to have more knowledge.

What's more, this knowledge is beyond the scope of science and has a bit of metaphysical mystery.

But having said that, isn’t there a saying that “the end of science is metaphysics”?Maybe the mysteries of the universe are really related to metaphysics?
After Min agreed, Xu Yin flew to the Cross River Tribe every two days in a winged tiger, listening to Min talk about his preconceptions and chatting about each other's views on the development of the tribe.

The great witches of the two tribes often sit together to chat and drink tea, which also makes the people of the two tribes closer and communicate more frequently.

When not going to the Cross River Tribe, Xu Yin took the women of the tribe and put all the nuts away.

Chestnuts can be stored for a long time after they are air-dried, so you can cook them if you want to eat them.

The same goes for hazelnuts, which are dried and packed in rattan bags, and occasionally fried in a pot for everyone to eat.

She plans to keep the walnuts for oil extraction.

Always eat animal fat, the blood in the body feels coagulated.

It can be boiled or stewed. Many wild vegetables are not very tasty. Even if they are blanched in cold water, she still wants to use vegetable oil instead of deer oil, butter, or goat oil.
