[Crossing the Farm] The witch doctor rises up

Because they didn't know about the volcanic eruption before, the tribe hadn't started preparing food for the winter.

When leaving the place of residence in a hurry, the little dry food that everyone took away could only last for a day or two - people in this era have one meal in the morning and one meal in the evening, a total of two meals.

Because I didn’t expect it to rain so hard, I couldn’t go out hunting at all. After all, the people in the tribe hadn’t eaten for a day—because they were worried that they would have nothing to eat, so they still saved a meal of rations. Move—of course I'm extremely hungry.

After finally waiting for the rain to stop, everyone wanted to go to the mountains and forests to find some food to fill their stomachs. It would be best if there were more to make into dry food and take them on the road.

Wu Di saw that the patriarch had already begun to select hunting candidates, and saw that most of the people looked a little sluggish, especially those women and children whose faces were not covered by beards, their faces were a little flushed, and their lips were a little parched.Wu Di frowned: "Patriarch, I need some people to gather herbs with me. Now that the rain has stopped, we must find some ginger and make soup, otherwise many people will have a fever."

After all, Wu Di touched Gong's forehead, it's okay, because he has been holding him in his arms, and he wiped Gong's body dry in time before, so there is no sign of fever.But touching the monkey's forehead, it was already a little hot.

For the people of the Youhe Tribe, fever means that death is very close, so when they heard Wu Di’s words, no one dared to neglect, and several women immediately stood up and offered to help—women in this era, even if They never stopped to rest when they were pregnant, so naturally they didn't pay attention to this bit of mud.

It's just that Wu Di thought that this is an unfamiliar mountain forest after all, and the road is slippery, so he still found three men to be "bodyguards" to protect the women.Originally, he wanted to bring Gong with him, but he thought that in this rain-washed forest, Wu Di's hearing and sense of smell are the powerful tricks of the tribe's hunting, so although he was worried, he still didn't stop him from going to the hunting team— —Unknowingly, Gong has changed from a dispensable person in the tribe to an important part of the hunting team.

Wu Di knows about ginger, but he has never seen what ginger grows in the wild. Fortunately, the red leaf witch doctor of Youhe tribe used this thing to treat the tribal people's ailments a long time ago—although it is the future Ginger leaves and ginger were mashed and applied to the patient's face.

As for the feeling of being covered with ginger juice... ahem, let's ignore it here.

All in all, the search for ginger is not a problem in Wu Di's eyes.And to his delight, there are a lot of fungus, wild onion, gray vegetable and bracken in this mountain forest (because the appearance of bracken is so easy to identify), which makes Wu Di even more happy.After all, although he loves to eat meat, for the sake of his health, vegetables are still indispensable.

He had discovered a long time ago that the Youhe Tribe... It should be said that people here don't like to eat wild vegetables and fruits—except for women and children who eat some to fill their stomachs.

But because of this, these people often suffer from bleeding gums, swollen limbs, subcutaneous mucous membranes and even joint bleeding.

Wu Di still remembers when he taught Gong to brush his teeth, he vomited blood every time he brushed his teeth, and he vomited blood every time he brushed his teeth.

Later, it was he who fed the vitamin C lozenges in his bag to Gong, and the situation gradually improved.Of course, if Gong can take Wu Di's vitamin C lozenges, others can only eat vegetables and wild fruits to recuperate slowly.

People don’t know whether there is vitamin C or vitamins in vegetables and wild fruits. They only know that eating this can cure diseases according to Wu Di’s words, and they won’t have mouth bleeding when they eat it frequently, and there will be no bleeding in their mouths because of eating. More barbecue and longer bubbles... The most important thing is that after pulling it, it will not be "blocked" all the time, and I am happy to collect more of these things.

Anyway, they also know that these wild vegetables can be fried and eaten in stew, which is much better than the taste of washing and eating raw.

In fact, in the forest after the rain, the most difficult thing is not digging wild vegetables or hunting, but lighting a fire.

Under the downpour, all the leaves and branches that can be burned are soaked, and water can even be wrung out, so how could it be ignited.

Fortunately, everyone found an old tree that had died of old age but did not fall down. They cut off the wet layer on the outside with a stone knife, but the wood inside was still quite dry.

Wu Di asked people to move a few stones to form a circle, dug out the middle and filled it with gravel, one side was soaked in wet mud, then lighted the fire deftly with his hands and feet, and covered it with as small pieces of wood as possible.

In spite of the violent rain that had lasted so long, those in charge of the fire did not wet the kindling.But it doesn't matter if it gets wet, after all, Wu Di still has flint and steel.Although he is not willing to let people other than Gong see this kind of thing, but if the situation requires it, he is not ignorant.

So, when Gong Heji and the others came back with a few pheasants, what awaited them was a big bowl of ginger soup—the smell was so strong that even smelling it made their noses tingle.

Gong knew that Wu Di was doing it for their own good, and he felt a little cold after hunting outside for a while, so he honestly took a big bowl and drank it.It's just that the ginger soup was really pungent and pungent. After drinking it, Gong felt like prickly balls were bouncing around in his four ears, which was very uncomfortable.

"Hmm..." Just when Gong felt uncomfortable, his mouth suddenly felt cold, and a small round thing was stuffed in, biting the skin, and a sweet smell flowed out.

"Wow, Brother Wu Di, what did you feed Gong... I want to eat it too~" Monkey followed Wu Di as an apprentice (?) as a follower)! ) After a long time, I dare to act like a baby in front of Wu Di.

"You're not Gong." Wu Di was indifferent.

"..." Fuck, showing affection or something is too hateful!Monkey said that if this continues, he will embark on the "puppy love" road of no return!

And Gong, who was fed, felt that the discomfort from drinking the ginger soup just now disappeared.

******

Because of the heavy rain, the feathers of these pheasants were soaked, and they became soaked chickens. They couldn't fly fast, so Gong and the others quickly caught a few of them.But the most gratifying thing is not that there is finally fresh meat to eat, but that Gong found five eggs—it is said that they were found when the pheasant was in a nest that was blown down by the wind but was not broken by accident.

"This is delicious! Poke a hole in it and inhale it. The stuff inside is fragrant, tender, smooth, and a little sweet!" Ah Bao's saliva was about to flow down when he said this, without blinking. He stared intently at the five Bai Shengsheng eggs, but he didn't intend to take them at all. After all, he knew that since there were too few eggs this time and he didn't find them, he was not qualified to eat them.But it's good to just look at it.

"Raw eggs... eat like this?" Wu Di hesitated.He had eaten raw eggs as a child.And it was just born under the hen's butt, but he only felt fishy and greasy, with a disgusting smell, and it was not as delicious as cooked... wait, cooked?

By the way, it can be boiled. There are five eggs, each of which is not enough to eat. It's better to mash them all together to make fried eggs or egg drop soup.

Wu Di thought so, and said so.Regarding Wu Di's choice, Gong has always been "blindly following", so he did not hesitate to take out the egg that he was given because he found the egg and gave it to Wu Di: "Do whatever you want .”

Although he is also very gluttonous, but if Wu Di wants it, it's okay to eat less.

Seeing his son and son-in-law (...) like this, Ji sighed in his heart, "The son is too big to stay", while taking out the egg he got because he was the patriarch—of course, as a The patriarch, he also hopes that more people can eat good food.

Hearing that Wu Di wanted to make eggs that everyone who fell could eat, everyone surrounded Wu Di in a circle, just like watching how Wu Di "turned decay into magic".

Wu Di, who was onlookers, said to Alexander—he only said that more people could taste the eggs, but he didn't say that everyone who fell could eat them.

However, since this is the case, it seems that more water will be added later.

Boiling with chicken oil, Wu Di broke up the eggs to make fried eggs.As for the egg whites on those parts of the eggshell, Wu Di subconsciously wanted to throw them away, but they were taken away by Monkey and Bai, who licked them with great joy. Even in the end, I chewed the rather brittle eggshell and ate it.

After the oily egg was fried, Wu Di used the temporary wooden chopsticks to draw out a bite-sized fried egg and handed it to Gong's mouth: "Try it."

Gong actually felt quite stressed, but how could everyone's salivating eyes compare to Wu Di's quiet black eyes?So it wasn't until there was an indescribable meat-like aroma in his mouth that he realized that he was being fed in a daze under the eyes of everyone.

Well, this is not the first time... Showing affection or something, once you get used to it, there will be no pressure-Gongpo has a sense of calmness.

******

Although Wu Di fed that bite of fried egg to Gong, he didn't share the rest - after all, five fried eggs are not enough for a hundred people.So he just smashed up those fried eggs with chopsticks as much as possible, then mixed them with water and started to simmer them with ash vegetables.

At least everyone can have a sip of soup then.

Most people in the Youhe Tribe have never had the idea that they can eat eggs. It is great to be able to taste a mouthful of soup at this moment, even if it only tastes like eggs.

After finishing the soup, under Wu Di's guidance, those women also fried the chicken with chicken oil, and then added water to stew it—according to Wu Di, they were already hungry for a few meals, and it was really not suitable for them to eat immediately. Just eat barbecue, or stew meat to nourish the stomach.

After eating, everyone put away the bracken that they had collected and roasted by the fire for a while, and looked at their patriarch and Wu Di—after all, they were going to the sea or something, and they couldn't find their way at all. ah.
