A Tale of Savages Through Another World

"Why do you have to wash your feet all of a sudden? It's early in the morning," Xi Ya said.

"Don't you think my feet are smelly?" Lin Yifei took off his socks, and he lowered his head to sniff, obviously there is no smell, but Xi Ya's nose is not comparable to him, he can smell Xi Ya if he can't smell it. No, although Lin Yifei never felt that he had smelly feet.

"You misunderstood, why would I think your feet are smelly, besides, I wiped them off for you last night, the ones that don't stink, have a different smell, like something is rotten," Siya said.

When Lin Yifei's feet were grabbed by Xi Ya, he wanted to shrink back. Xi Ya was too bad, so grab it as soon as possible, and even used his thumb to grab the soles of his feet.

"Let go, let go of the itch, itch," Lin Yifei shouted with a big laugh.

"Well," Lin Yifei almost kicked him, damn Siya, it's not easy to lick there, and he even licked his toes, Lin Yifei felt that even his soul would be sucked away by Siya .

Xi Ya let go of the toe sucked by him, and then licked it thinly, and then let go. Lin Yifei's toes were very well-shaped, round and white, which became a sensation after being sucked by Xi Ya. Red, very cute.

"Don't lick it anymore, it's so itchy," Lin Yifei quickly took back his feet when Xi Ya let go, because Xi Ya played like this, he still has a few days to live, and he will definitely be exhausted dead.

Xi Ya helped Lin Yifei wash his feet, put on socks and shoes, and then stood up.

"Is something rotten in our house?" Lin Yifei walked around the room, well, he seemed to smell a smell, Lin Yifei thought, it couldn't be the things in the clay pots he made that stink Alright.

"Xiya, come and take a look, it can't be the smell coming from that clay pot here," Lin Yifei asked, pointing to the row of clay pots in the corner of the room.

The clay pots filled with pickled peppers in sugar water were opened one by one, and Lin Yifei smelled them all without any problem. Could it be that the fruit he stuffed stinks.

"Yifei seems to be this pottery pot," Siya pointed to a half-sized pottery pot in a corner, and those pottery pots were all filled with fruit to make wine. Lin Yifei filled two big clay pots and three and a half big pots, and the other small pots contained purple fruits. He knew that the sweeter the fruit, the better the wine.

"Take it out, Siya, smell it, do the others smell?" Lin Yifei asked.

"This big clay pot is a bit sour, and the other flavors are a bit like the wine you mentioned last time," Siya pointed to a big clay pot and said, but the taste was not as fragrant as the wine in Lin Yifei's hands last time.

When Lin Yifei heard Siya's sourness, he froze for a moment. It was sour instead of smelly, so it didn't mean it was vinegar. Could it be that he not only brewed wine but also turned a jar of vinegar into vinegar this time? Is this really true? It's great.

"It's really good to have a sour smell. Siya, take this and throw it away, and wash the clay pot. If the smell doesn't go away, you can soak it in water for a few days." Lin Yifei said, selling clay pots over there There are no pots at home anymore, and I said that I will have to go to the pot tribe to buy them next year.

When Siya took the spoiled clay pot to clean up, Lin Yifei took out the clay pot that Siya said had a sour smell, and untied the animal skin tied up with a rope, a sour smell hit his face immediately. Come.

"This taste is really sour," Lin Yifei said after he was relieved for a while, he brought a bowl, and scooped out a small bowl including the juice and pulp in it, fearing that the sour taste would go away, Lin Yifei Soon the hide was tied back.

Lin Yifei scooped out a small spoonful of fruit acid, which tasted good, and then scooped up the pomace, put it in his mouth and chewed it a few times, the pomace was actually crunchy, without the feeling of softening, Lin Yifei I think this is better than pickled peppers. This kind of astringent fruit is really good for making pickles. Pickled vegetables are sour, hot, spicy and sweet, which is Lin Yifei's favorite thing, but how to make them sour is still difficult. One question, after all, all the other small clay pots have been fermented into wine.

When Xi Ya came back, he saw Lin Yifei sitting by the fire pit in a daze. What's the matter? I haven't grilled any fish for several days. When Xi Ya came back this time, he caught two fish, one was the kind One is suitable for steaming, and the other is delicious when grilled.

Now most of the family will grill fish. Although it is not as delicious as Xiya’s, the main reason is that the seasoning is a bit worse, but it is still more delicious than before.The big lake next to their tribe is also called Love Lake. The lake is very big, and there are a lot of fish in the lake. It is said that the females do not go hunting this winter, and the fish alone is enough for them to live through the winter.In spring, both males and females like to go shopping, and now the lake is also a place where females love to go, catch one or two big fish, and most of the females in the family also go to Baiqi to learn. To make chili sauce, eat spicy if you like it, and put less if you are afraid of spicy. It is better than just rubbing salt on it. Even the syrup made by Lin Yifei has spread among the tribe. This winter, The Baiyan people always seem to be full of vitality.

"What's wrong with Yifei, I suddenly became dumbfounded," Xi Ya shook her hand in front of Lin Yifei, but Lin Yifei didn't recover, he just shook Lin Yifei and shouted.

"Hey, Xi Ya is back, I was thinking about something, by the way, Xi Ya, come and taste how it tastes," Lin Yifei fed Xi Ya the astringent juice in the bowl.

As soon as Xi Ya entered the room, he could smell the sour smell. He didn't like this smell before, but today's smell didn't bother him.

"How is it, how does it taste?" Lin Yifei asked.

"It's sour and a little salty, but it's not bad, it's still crispy to the bite," Xi Ya tasted it slowly, and under Lin Yifei's expectant eyes, he expressed his evaluation of the astringent fruit.

"I knew you would like it. People with babies in their stomachs like this smell. By the way, you said it has a salty taste. That's great, Siya. I remembered that this clay pot was the last one. I At that time, it seemed that I forgot to pour some salt into it accidentally. Is this the key? Is there any Xiya astringent fruit? And it can cook a lot of different flavors of food." Lin Yifei was very happy, if Xi Ya didn't mention the salty taste, he really couldn't remember it, just now he kept thinking, what exactly is this clay pot What was added to the astringent fruit made it taste different from the astringent fruit in other clay pots, and it also turned into a vinegar taste.When Xiyana mentioned it, he remembered it.

"There are still a lot of them by the Shigara Lake, I'll just pick them, but we don't have any clay pots at home." Xi Ya said, the clay pot was just like what Yifei said, the smell is not easy to wash off, it's just Taking bubble leaves didn't work either, so he had to put the clay pot into the bottom of the lake as Yifei said, and the smell of the pot should be gone after two days.

Lin Yifei thought about it too, there is no clay pot to put it there, Lin Yifei’s eyes swept over Tiantian, yes, it’s good without clay pots and wooden barrels, as long as the opening of the wooden barrel is made smaller, the animal skin will be a wooden barrel, It is also possible to make some kimchi.

"Siya can do this. Let's make a few big wooden barrels, the kind we use to hold water at home, but the opening of this wooden barrel should be smaller, preferably as big as the opening of the small wooden barrel, so that it will be easier to bind the animal skins. , and it contains more astringent fruits," Lin Yifei said, pointing to the big wooden barrels in their home.

Siya soon went to Uncle Kaxia who made a wooden barrel. The wooden barrel used for bathing last time was made at his house. Kasha came to their tribe from another tribe. His male son is because he can make For those who like him, although his male son has passed away, he has been guarding the home they had together. Because he is old and hunting is much more difficult, he is He supported himself as a carpenter, and his newly grown son also learned his father's craft, but the guy was too busy chasing males all day long to make barrels.

"Uncle Kaxia, what about Kai, he ran out again," Siya said after knocking on the door of Kaxia's house and coming in. He was holding a processed wild boar in his hand, which was taken out of the storage room at home. .

"After that kid came back from hunting, he didn't know where he went. What was Siya going to do, the barrel or the tub? By the way, Sia, now that you have a partner, you should buy some things. Your house doesn't even put on airs. Doing, not to mention having children, there will be more things, boxes for clothes, tables and stools, etc. It doesn’t matter if you are alone, but you can’t let your partner stand or sit on the ground to eat. " Kasha said with a smile.

"I see, Uncle Kaxia, isn't it too cold in winter? It's embarrassing to ask Uncle Kaxia to do it. Let's talk about it in spring. Uncle Kaxia, can you make me two wooden barrels, the kind that hold water? It's a big wooden barrel, but the opening should be smaller." Siya said.

"No problem. If you can take one over there, you can take one first. Uncle's house has a lot of wooden barrels, and they almost can't hold them," Kaxia said with a smile.

Siya picked two wooden barrels, the ones with a longer body, knowing what Siya said that they need to tie animal skins, so Kasha removed the ears of the wooden barrels that were used to hold the handles. In this way, the mouth of the barrel can be tied with animal skin.

"Thank you, Uncle Kaxia," Xi Ya said with a smile.

"Thank you, I hugged you when you were born," Kasha said with a smile.

Xi Ya took two wooden barrels to pick the astringent fruit, filled the two wooden barrels, and then went home with the wooden barrel. The taste of the astringent fruit was not very good, and no one picked it at all. yes.

"Xia, you are back, hurry up and try the hot and sour fish I made, I don't know if you like it, I also made some sliced ​​noodles, just waiting for you to eat." Lin Yifei said as soon as he entered Xiya He said that he has nothing to do now, so he is thinking about getting some delicious food.

Xi Ya took a bite of the hot and sour fish, and it tasted really good.

"It tastes good," Sia said.

There was sliced ​​noodles in a big bowl, Lin Yifei simply poured the whole fish into the noodles, the hot and sour taste whetted Xi Ya's appetite.

"I'll feed you," Lin Yifei held the fish and handed it to Xi Ya's mouth. It is good for children to eat more fish. Too much barbecue will get angry, and Xi Ya doesn't like fruits and rice crackers very much. Fortunately, Siya also likes noodles, so eating more noodles will provide a more balanced nutrition, and the baby will feel better after birth.

The two of you took one bite, most of the noodles went into Siya's mouth, but Siya fed the fish to Lin Yifei. He liked to eat astringent fruit wrapped in noodles, crunchy and sour. With a little bit of sweetness, it's not too spicy and just suits his taste. It's really delicious.

Lin Yifei took his dagger to cut open the big astringent fruit in his fist, and Xi Ya saved a lot of effort. With the sharp claws, he stroked lightly a few times, and he just squeezed it lightly, and the fruit was like blooming when he let go of it. Spread out in the same way, these are all pickles that Yifei said, and more sour ones should be made.

"Xiya, do you think this stuff can be made into dried fruit? If you can get rid of the astringent taste, soak it in sugar water for a day, and then dry it, the taste will definitely not be bad." Lin Yifei looked at the astringent fruit in his hand and said, There are no delicious snacks here, except for meat, maybe he can make some jerky or something, spiced jerky, spicy jerky, Lin Yifei will make it when he thinks of these.

"Xia, I have decided, I want to make preserved fruit," Lin Yifei stood up and said, he scooped up water, poured it into a wooden basin filled with half-cut astringent fruit, soaked it first, to get rid of the astringent taste Son, boil it in sugar water later, and then roast it on the fire pit until it is half dry. If there is enough sugar, the preserved fruit is not easy to spoil, and it should be able to be stored for a long time.

"Do you want me to help?" Xi Ya asked after stopping her hands.

"No need, you continue to cut the fruit, and when these are done, go pick some astringent fruits, and sweet sticks, we are going to cook some sweet sticks," Lin Yifei raised his head and said, if there is any fruit in this place that can be squeezed The juicer will be fine. It will squeeze out the sweet juice from the sweet sticks, so it will save some effort to boil it. Maybe he can make one in the future, but it's freezing cold now, let's talk about it after the spring.

The snow started to fall again, the big snowflakes kept falling on the ground, the temperature started to drop again, the sky darkened directly, and the whole tribe became quiet again.

"Xia, it's snowing again," Lin Yifei said while lying on the window and looking out, the snow is really heavy, large flakes of snow fluttered in the air and landed on the ground, you can't see anything but snow outside the window.

"Well, the weather will be even colder in the future, and everyone will hide at home for the winter," Sia said with a smile, looking at Yifei who was lying on the window watching the snow, he will not be lonely this winter.It's great to have someone to accompany, the baby in my womb will be born in spring, and he can also have a complete, happy and warm home.
