It is not easy to traverse the wilderness

Taking the children back to the camp, Gan Zhi and the others had dried the marinated fish a few days ago.I don't know if it's the tribe's relationship or the environment here, Song Lai has been here for four or five months, but he hasn't seen any flies or mosquitoes.

Song Lai walked towards his shack, and when he passed by Xunfeng's shack, he saw Xunfeng knocking a huge stone there, which looked like he was going to make a stone jar, "Your stone jar is still waiting for a few days, Oss again I ordered three of them, and I don't know what to use them for." Seeing Song Lai looking at the tank he was making, Xunfeng said to him helplessly.

Song Lai nodded, thinking that An Ye and Xun Feng must have said they were making a vat for themselves.In fact, I was just a little inexplicably excited that day.I feel very unfair and aggrieved, but now that I think about it, it's nothing. After all, this is not the environment I used to live in. If I leave the collective here, I will die soon.

Go back to the shack and put the tanned rabbit skin in a cool and ventilated place to dry in the shade, and start preparing dinner. There are still a lot of lotus seeds picked. come out.Put the packed lotus seeds into the stone pot, cut the fish caught on the river beach, cut them into pieces, put them in together, simmer slowly on low heat, and cover the top with a piece of lotus leaf.Ever since he knew that there was winter here, and there was very little food in winter, Song Lai consciously brought back enough food for dinner every time he went out.The fire was pressed with plant ash, and some branches were placed on it.I got up and went to the small warehouse next to me.

Song Lai carefully checked how many leathers there were in the warehouse. If it was just him and An Ye, there should be no problem for the winter, but the problem is that these leathers are not only their own, but also other people in the tribe. From now on, Song Lai will know that even if others give you something, as long as it is not for food, it may just be put in your place for you to clean up or dispose of.Obviously these leathers are also like this.

There are only three pieces of leather for large long-haired beasts, which are similar in size to cowhide.Two sheets of this size can wrap an adult. There are 27 sheets of medium-sized leather, which is only half the size of large leather. There are more than 40 sheets of small rabbits, but such a small one can also be used to make shoes and leather. Knee pads and such.

There are only six or seven pieces of hairless and short-haired leather.Before Song Lai came here, this kind of leather was boiled and eaten directly with the meat.

Song Lai returned to the shack to see that An Ye had come back, holding a piece of meat from an unknown animal, but it was obviously a piece of a large animal.Song Lai took the meat and put it on the side shelf of the stone pot. He looked at the fish in the pot and turned up the heat a bit. After a while, the fish soup in the pot boiled, and the smell of fish began to linger in the shack. An Ye, who was sitting at the door sharpening his spear, turned his head and smiled, "Can I eat?" Song Lai who answered "Yes, eat" suddenly felt a little embarrassed, what's going on with this feeling of an old couple! !

After eating, An Ye took the stone pot to clean the pot, and Song Lai started to clean up the rabbit skin he had treated. The leather had begun to dry out, and it was obviously softer than before, and the side of the fur was smoother. It couldn't be compared with the previous mink coat, it was too far behind, but compared with the hard thing on the bed, it was quite perfect.

An Ye came back with the pot, saw the rabbit skin in Song Lai's hand, reached out to take it, and looked through it repeatedly, "How did you do it?" "Uh, it's very complicated, I don't bother to say, you and I will teach you tomorrow Let's go." "Okay."

Song Lai sometimes always thinks that if An Ye accidentally travels to the environment he is in, he must be more accomplished than Song Lai.Of course, I have basically no other achievements except eating, drinking and having fun.Surveon learns something special, and can always find the trick and the key.For example, tanning leather, An Ye used a stone knife to remove fat quickly and cleanly, and tanning leather with plant ash was even and comprehensive, not to mention rinsing.Anyway, after seeing Song Lai's demonstration and then guiding him, An Ye made all the leather.

Near noon, Song Lai decided to make some beggar fish, so he thought of the lotus lake to get some lotus leaves, but An Ye didn't like Song Lai going to the swamp, he always felt that there was more danger there. "I'll go find two fruits to eat." "Don't go too far."

Song Lai walked for a while and then quietly made a detour towards the lotus lake.When passing by a bush, I was pricked by a small thorn on the tree, what is it?Song Lai lowered his head and saw clusters of small green balls growing on the branches of the bushes, with small oval leaves and small wooden thorns like roses growing on the branches. It turned out that this thing was pricking itself. I wanted to go around it, but found that this kind of bush is quite big.

Song Lai looked at the bush, picked the small green spherical fruit and put it in his mouth.Bite twice, pepper! ! ! !The two big characters that flashed in my mind were shining with infinite light.Song Lai chewed the pepper in his mouth blankly, and finally he didn't feel it anymore, he lowered his head foolishly, and sighed in his heart, oh, pepper, pepper that can be seasoned and eaten.

After a long time, Song Lai came back to his senses, endured the numbness of his mouth, and started picking peppercorns. After picking a handful, he found no place to put them, so he simply went to break the branches.

After tanning the leather, An Ye went fishing for a few days. He was picking up the fish by the river when he found a green round branch walking on two legs.An Ye stepped forward to take it, "What is this?" "It's delicious." An Ye took two peppers and threw them in his mouth. Song Lai looked at him expectantly, An Ye chewed it twice and vomited. "This is poisonous. You can't eat it." "Hahahaha that's not how you eat it. Look at me."

Song Lai told An Ye to swim down the current, and then he would see the lotus lake, pick a few lotus leaves and lotus pods and come back, An Ye passed obediently.Song Lai cleaned the stone pot, filled it with water and salt, threw in a few peppercorns, divided the fish that An Ye had packed into two halves with a Swiss champion, removed the fishy line, shaved off the big bone in the middle, and Slice the fish chute and drop into the pan.

Continue to take the same two halves of a fish, put salt and pepper on it and put it aside to marinate, tap it with a stone from time to time, An Ye came back with lotus leaves and lotus pods in a short while, Song Lai put the marinated The fish is wrapped in lotus leaves and sealed with river mud.Dig a pit and put it in, then light the fire on the pit, and the soup in the stone pot boils.I picked up two large mussels, one shell per person, and ate the fish with chopsticks. The fish was as crisp and delicious as ever, and the slight fishy smell was gone because of the pepper.The entrance is a little numb, because the pepper is still green and not dried, so it still has a grassy taste, and it has a refreshing taste.

When An Ye ate the first piece, he looked up at Song Lai, "It's okay to eat, this numbness will pass in a while, it's not poison. Eat more delicious food." An Ye began to eat fish with peace of mind, Song Lai was full after two mouthfuls of soup, so he helped An Ye eat the fish in the pot.

When all the fish in the pot was eaten, Song Lai removed the fire and took out the beggar fish under the fire.As soon as the lotus leaf was opened, a strong fragrance gushed out. Song Lai broke off a small piece with his hands, and it melted in the mouth, soft and fragrant.A little numbness whets the appetite.Song Lai couldn't help but ate another half of it.After An Ye passed through the fish in the fish soup, he quickly accepted the numb taste, and he basically ate the rest of the fish, which seemed to be not enough.

Song Lai picked the peppercorns one by one, wrapped them in lotus leaves and put them in a straw bag.After fishing with An Ye for a few days, they went home in the afternoon.The rabbit skin that was tanned at home yesterday is softer because it has been dried in the shade overnight.Rabbit fur is also more fluffy. "Is this all right?" An Ye looked at the rabbit skin in Song Lai's hand, feeling as if it had just been peeled off.

"No, it will take another two days." Song Lai hung the rabbit skin away again. "Regardless of the size of the prey, the skin must stay, otherwise how will everyone spend the winter." "If you have a shelter, you are not afraid."

Song Lai didn't understand the concept of An Ye's not afraid of all the shacks, so he just silently packed his peppers. "Don't show this thing to Oss yet. I want it too poisonous. Give it to him later." "Okay." Song Lai agreed very quickly, even if it was the peppercorns in the place where Song Lai crossed. Seasoning for everyone.

Song Lai put the peppercorns back one by one in a sunny place.I plan to put it away when it's dry.Thinking that if I find chili in the future, I can eat spicy food, at least I will eat hot pot for a week.My mouth is watering just thinking about it.

In the dream of the hot pot, Song Lai took out the deerskin that he got the day before yesterday, because the fur of the deerskin has been removed in advance, so it dries faster, and the whole skin is soft, because the deerskin itself is not It is very thick. After tanning, the leather sheet is stretched by one-third, and the relative thickness is even thinner. It is perfect for making some close-fitting clothes. What about the sewing thread?If you use the needles from the Song Lai Swiss champion, the thread you need will obviously be very thin, but now there are no such thin threads, it seems that you need to make a needle, a bone needle, a stone needle or an antler needle.Stone needles are excluded first, and bone needles and antler needles are estimated to be more feasible.

Find the antlers brought back by An Ye, use the small saw on the Swiss champion to cut off a piece about ten centimeters long and short, then cut it vertically, find a harder stone, and sit in the door to sharpen the spear An Ye began to grind on the edge.The antler was harder than Song Lai imagined, and after grinding for a long time, it didn't show much. Song Lai adjusted the angle while thinking about where to seal a hole.

His fingers were about to cramp, so he replaced three or four stones that An Ye used to sharpen his spears, and a deer antler needle was considered a prototype, and a hole was sealed at the end with a Swiss champion.Holding it in his hand to admire, An Ye got up, patted the stone powder on his body, "Go to sleep, it's getting dark."

Song Lai tidied up obediently, and then went to bed.When lying on the bed, Song Lai found that it was a bit cramped. He had been paying attention to his height recently, and there was basically no change. It seemed that An Ye had grown up again.It's okay, what are you doing so fast?
