A Tale of Savages Through Another World

"Try Xi Ya, how does it taste?" Lin Yifei picked up a piece of boiled astringent pulp and fed it to Xi Ya to taste.

Xi Ya took a bite and it turned out to be sweet, with no astringency at all, and the flesh still felt a little crunchy.

"Sweet Yifei," Xi Ya said.

"Sweet ones are right, Siya help me bring the wooden basin, the one that holds the cold sugar water," Lin Yifei said.

The pulp was scooped up, Lin Yifei looked at the stainless steel colander in his hand, it was brought by him, it is the kind of small colander for eating hot pot, it is really a little small, let Xiya get a bamboo back tomorrow, he can make a bigger one The bamboo colander, otherwise the one in your hand is too small, and it will be troublesome to pick it up, and it can also be used as a rice sieve, which can be directly baked on the fire pit, and it dries quickly.

It expands with heat and shrinks with cold, so soaking in cold sugar water for half a day, I believe the flesh will be more crispy and sweet, Xi Ya will definitely like it, although Xi Ya just said it is sweet, but for Lin Yifei, this little bit of sweetness But it is not enough, if you want to be sweet, you have to be sweet in your heart.

"Butt, buckle, buckle," there was a knock on the door.

Xi Ya opened the door, only to see that Xiaoju was carrying a large animal skin bag, and she didn't know what was in it.

"It's such a cold day, Xiaoju, why did you run out without accompanying the child," Sia asked.

"It's okay, Kerry and the child are getting along very well now, and my body has recovered. I came to deliver things to you. When I went hunting yesterday afternoon, I accidentally broke into a place. I didn't expect that it was full of cassava. , I smelled it, and dug up the snow. It was really a large area. It was behind the mountain on the back of the turtle. I dug two bags and sent one bag here. I heard that your Yifei likes to eat cassava, and your family also likes it. There is no shortage of meat, so I simply sent cassava over, and went to dig behind Wuguibei Mountain when I ate it up," Xiaoju said with a smile.

"What are you doing? I said that I smelled astringent smell when I entered the door, but I got so many astringent fruits," Xiaoju said curiously.

Xi Ya picked up a piece of boiled astringent fruit, and Xiaoju tasted it, not to mention it tasted good, his eldest son Karen would definitely like it, but how could something so astringent turn sweet.

"Cut them open like I did, then wash them twice with clean water, boil them in sugar water, then pick them up and soak them in cold sugar water for half a day. The taste is really good, and children must like them." Xi Ya Seeing Xiaoju's puzzled expression, he said.

"Siya, you are really good. You have created such things, and the children are lucky." Xiaoju said with a smile, and he was also going home to make some snacks for his son and Kerry.

Xi Ya smiled and shook his head, how could it be that he came up with it: "Yifei came up with it, whether it's fish, chili sauce, or soil roots."

"Siya looks at how proud you are. Yifei is really good. Our tribe has a lot of delicious food because of Yifei. This is all thanks to Xiya for picking up Yifei. Otherwise, I don't know how to eat this winter." What's going on, I didn't have enough food at first, but now it's better, the fish at home like to eat, and I don't have to go hunting so hard, I eat meat and fish every day," Xiaoju said with a smile.

After listening to Xiaoju's words, Xi Ya narrowed his eyes slightly. One can imagine the pride in his heart, all of which are due to his family's Yifei.

"Xiaoju, stop praising me, I'll be embarrassed," Lin Yifei said with a smile, he was picking up the pieces of the fruit again, because there was no place to put them, and now the pieces of the fruit were being drained by him It is imperative to make a rice sieve in a wooden plate, and he just heard that there is a lot of cassava. If this thing is made into dried cassava, soak it in sugar water, and the taste will definitely not be bad. Although it is very backward here, But really, as long as you are willing to discover, there are really many delicious things.

Lin Yifei held the bamboo pole that was chopped down by Siya, what to do, although he had seen such a thing, he had never done it.

"What should I do in Xiya? I don't know how to do it. I just saw it. It seems that the bamboo is first split and then made into a square or a circle." Lin Yifei finally gave up. He only saw the finished product. Can't figure it out.

Xi Ya looked at Lin Yifei, he thought for a while, and first avoided the bamboo. Xi Ya did this job very smoothly, and he quickly split the bamboo as thin as fingertips.

Lin Yifei and Xi Ya stared at the fingertip-wide bamboo strips. Finally, Lin Yifei picked up the split bamboo strips and began to fiddle with them. Lin Yifei kept imagining the bamboo sieves he had seen before. A dozen of them were taken and interspersed up and down with a bamboo thread, and the shape in the middle of the bamboo sieve began to take shape little by little. Although it was still very rough, it finally had some direction.

Xi Ya also watched the movements of Lin Yifei's hands, he made it much faster than Lin Yifei, although Lin Yifei did it first, but Xi Ya made a bigger bamboo sieve bottom faster than Lin Yifei.

"I've seen Xiya before, no matter round or square, there is a side on the outside, which is surrounded by relatively large bamboo strips," Lin Yifei said looking at the two half-finished bamboo sieves. In fact, his really It's not so good, but the one looking at Xi Ya is even better.

Lin Yifei can't do it, but Xi Ya's hands-on ability is indeed much better than Lin Yifei's. I saw that he formed a circle with a bamboo stick half a finger wide, and wrapped it with a piece of strong cowhide. The animal skin rope was tied tightly, and then the two of them began to think of a way to press the bottom made just now, but they couldn't do it for a long time, and suddenly Lin Yifei laughed, he actually forgot that this side is actually There are two, no wonder it can't be done.

"Xiya is making a round one, we just need to sandwich the bottom with two circles and tie it tightly," Lin Yifei said happily.

Soon, a bamboo sieve of about half a meter long, which can be dried on a fire pit, was made.

"I'm a genius in Xiya," Lin Yifei said happily. He quickly brought a dishcloth, wiped the bamboo sieve clean, washed it with clean water, and dried it on the fire pit. When it was dry, he could bake the dried fruits on top. After drying, it can be put into clay pots after drying.

Xi Ya looked at the excited Lin Yifei and shook his head. He continued to weave the bamboo sieves from the moving house, which actually resembled a big bamboo basket.At first he was afraid that Yifei would be bored at home, but now it's better, his family Yifei seems to be able to toss out something every day.

In a few days, Lin Yifei produced preserved fruit and dried cassava, and he took some to eat if he had nothing to do. Lin Yifei was very happy these two days, he was able to make snacks by himself, and the taste was good. It was the first time Lin Yifei felt He has a sense of accomplishment. When making chili sauce, he didn’t have the sense of accomplishment from making this snack. There is no way his mother makes chili sauce every year. It’s not surprising that he knows how to make chili sauce, but this preserved fruit and dried cassava are in his mind. A fleeting inspiration, but I didn't expect it to be a success.

"Xiya, why do you get up so early every morning?" Lin Yifei was sleepy in the morning, and felt that Xiya got up. Lin Yifei was not happy that Xiya got up so early. Every time he woke up, Xiya Already up, he grabbed Siya and lay on Siya's body, refusing to get off.

"Yifei is obedient, it's getting late, the snow in the yard and on the road should be cleared," Xi Ya patted the drowsy Lin Yifei who was still asleep.

"Oh, ah, be clear about the snow," Lin Yifei woke up immediately when he heard Xi Ya's words. Could it be that Xi Ya woke up early in the morning to do it alone these few days? Incompetent.

When Xi Ya got up, he steamed the rice crackers first, and then put dried cassava on top of the rice crackers. The rice crackers and tapioca dried tasted very sweet. Even Xi Ya liked to eat them. He didn’t like rice crackers very much before, but now he doesn’t. Like Yifei, he would eat half a rice cracker.

When Lin Yifei put on Yifei, Xi Ya had already gone out, Lin Yifei quickly took a sip of hot water, and then put on his hat and gloves to go out.

"Ah, it's really cold early in the morning," Lin Yifei let out a sigh, shrinking his neck, and then picked up the wooden shovel under the eaves to clear the snow on the road outside the yard.

"Yifei, why did you come out? It's so cold outside when you go home, you are too nonsense," Siya was clearing the snow on the roof, and when he didn't pay attention, he saw his family Yifei running out to clear the snow. This is what he did Is it a job? Why doesn't his Yifei know how to obey?

"I work with you, just to shovel some snow, stay at home every day, just treat it as a physical exercise." Lin Yifei said, after this period of exercise, his physical strength and energy have improved a bit, although now often Xue didn't come out to run anymore, but he didn't forget the [-] push-ups and [-] sit-ups every day.

Xi Ya had nothing to do with Lin Yifei in the end, he thought it would be no problem to let Yifei come out for some activities.

"You're tired, you don't want to do it, you just don't listen." Xi Ya stretched out her big hand to touch Lin Yifei's frozen red face.

"I don't want Xiya to keep me at home all day, I want to work with you." Lin Yifei said.

Xi Ya listened to Lin Yifei's words, he was very happy, no male son would ever say such a thing, although Yifei couldn't help much, and the more he helped, Xi Ya was still very happy. Fei pretended to be him and the child in his heart, which made him really happy.He knew that as long as he treats Yifei well, one day Yifei will treat himself as well as he does.

"Xiya, you are always a lucky person. Yifei has helped you with your work," Bai Qi said with a smile. He came to find Yifei. Xiya took some of the dried fruit and cassava for the tribe. Orphans eat it, those children think it is delicious, and they want dried cassava. It is not easy to get dried cassava, but those children heard that the preserved fruit is made of astringent fruit. Those little guys have picked a lot of astringent fruit now. He is the one who was taken The children push the person who learns to sit on the preserved fruit.

"Uncle Bai Qi is here, let's go into the house," Siya pulled Yifei back into the house, and ignored the little snow in the yard, and worked on it when he was free, Siya didn't want to freeze Yifei broken.

"Look at this handsome man with his frozen red face, Xi Ya, you are willing to do so." Bai Qi said with a smile.

"Uncle Bai Qi, this is what I want to do by myself. By the way, Uncle Bai Qi, please help Xi Ya to see how his body is, is there any problem?" Preserved fruit and dried cassava.

Bai Qi helped Siya check her body, he was really satisfied with Yifei, it was really rare for someone to care so much about his daughter.

"Don't worry, your Xiya is in good health, even if he gives birth to ten or eight little Yifeis, there will be no problem at all." Bai Qi said with a smile.

"By the way, Xiya Yifei, I came to your house to learn how to make preserved fruit like astringent fruit. Since those children ate the preserved fruit you took over, it's incredible. Today, I even picked a lot of astringent fruit. I Their ears were also dirty, so I had to come and ask." Bai Qi said with a smile.

Lin Yifei explained the method of making astringent fruit preserves again, and gave Bai Qi a rice sieve from home.

Bai Qi was very happy when he left, he was able to explain to the group of mischievous children when he went back, the group of half-sized females who lost their father this winter finally don't have to go hungry, and in previous years when there was not enough food, they were the first to suffer The most important thing is that group of children. It’s better now. In the past, the children who were starving to death when they saw the fish would not eat it. Now they like to eat the grilled or steamed fish as long as they put hot sauce on it. The male son picked up by Xiya , has brought vitality to this tribe that was not there in previous years. Although this preserved fruit is not a staple food, it can also fill the stomachs of the little ones.

Xi Ya looked at the heavy snow outside, and it would be his turn to patrol the day after tomorrow, it would take a day and a night, he thought that Yifei would be very boring.Maybe he can catch a squirrel for Yifei to raise, but squirrels are a bit wild, and it’s not good to hurt Yifei, or a rabbit, that little thing is very cute and timid, and dare not hurt anyone at all, Xin Yifei I will like it, Yifei especially likes furry and cute little things, he is very clear, he is not around during the day, it is also very good to have a timid rabbit.

Xi Ya laughed when thinking of that scene, Tushu is timid, as long as it is kept at home and meets people, that little thing will definitely hide in the corner trembling and refuse to come out, and Yifei will definitely try to coax that little thing out , In this way, Yifei will never be bored.

He did it when he thought of it. In the past two days, the dried fruit and cassava were ready. Now Yifei is taking a nap. There is still time to catch a rabbit. This timid guy exists outside the tribe, ordinary children My father likes to catch rabbits and mice to play.

Xi Ya searched a lot of places, the group of children probably had nothing to do, and the rabbits and mice near the tribe were probably caught.

Xi Ya ran quite far this time. He lay on a relatively large dead tree and listened to the sound coming from the trunk. Sure enough, rabbits and mice like such trunks. When Xi Ya found the hole, his sharp claws instantly Scratched the trunk.

It was a fluffy pika with white fur, very similar to Xiya's. It was probably frightened by the sudden attack, and it didn't respond until Diya grabbed it by the neck. Come here, Siya grabbed the pika and threw it into the animal skin bag. Looking at the nuts on the little guy's paws, Siya dug up the trunk again. The small tree hole was full of pikas. For the winter nuts, Sia grabbed the pika out of the animal skin bag again, and after putting all the nuts in the tree trunk, put the pika back into the animal skin bag.

The little rabbit was moved around so roughly by Siya, it hugged the lost nut tearfully, as long as the nut came back, it didn't matter where it went.This is all the food it has for this winter, if it is lost, it will starve to death, this is what its father told it last year, it does not want to starve to death.

When Lin Yifei woke up, he saw Xi Ya playing with a fluffy little rabbit. It's just that the ears of this rabbit are a bit short, so it shouldn't be a rabbit, but it's really cute, much cuter than the pet rabbit he had raised before. .Suddenly Lin Yifei's eyes lit up, wasn't that the walnut that rolled round and fell on the ground of his house, there are actually walnuts in this world, Lin Yifei was thinking of finding some calcium and trace element supplements for Xiya these two days, I didn't expect Sia to get it.

The mouse rabbit noticed Lin Yifei's fanatical eyes staring at his food at a glance, it belonged to it, it belonged to it, the little guy grabbed a walnut that fell on the ground, and then grabbed another one, but its claws It's really small, if you catch one, you will drop one, and after catching one, you will drop another, and this cycle goes on and on. The funniest thing is that the little thing is still doing it happily.

Immediately, Xi Ya and Lin Yifei were amused by that little rabbit, but our little rabbit was crying in his heart, its food——
