It is not easy to traverse the wilderness

Just because of this wise old man raising An Ye, and because of being picked up by him, Song Lai felt that he should visit him as often as An Ye did.Perhaps in the eyes of other people in the tribe, Oss is a shaman full of mystery and majesty, but in his own eyes, this is an old, kind, wise old man, although he always has some plans for himself.

An Ye was stunned for a moment, then walked over naturally and handed all the meat in his hand to Song Lai, then washed his hands and picked up the baby. According to Song Lai's new regulations, An Ye must wash his hands first if he wants to hold the baby when he comes back from outside.The little girl is obviously much more lively than when she was just discovered.In An Ye's arms, he didn't feel comforted, he looked around, and sometimes he clapped his hands and giggled non-stop.

Song Lai put the meat brought back by An Ye into a concave stone and pounded it into a meat paste. He also put the mushrooms into the stone for grinding, then added a small amount of pepper and salt to it, and put it aside for An Ye to eat. Ye held the baby in one hand and circled around with the other.On the other hand, he pounded the meat paste in the stone again. This time, he put the pounded meat paste into the washed lotus root, cut the lotus root into slices, and stuffed the meat filling in the gap.He took the disc from Aussie's hand and put it on the fire to prepare to fry the lotus root box, but found that Aussie had no oil here, seeing that An Ye's minced meat was almost ready, he sent him home to get the oil.

Oss looked at Song Lai who was sitting and cooking skillfully, "Is the food in your previous tribe so complicated and cumbersome?" Song Lai was frowning at the fish soup in Aussie's pot.I also saw fish gills in the fish soup, so don’t eat them and throw them away. This is too inconsistent with the thrifty spirit of this era. In the end, I decided to pour them out and put them aside for Oss to decide.As a result, Oss said, "It's because the food you eat is too simple. When I first came here, only the barbecue was cooked, but now at least everyone eats normal food, although the taste is still not very good. .” Song Lai curled his lips and poured the fish soup into a clam shell.

"Oss, I remember telling you that the fish gills are not edible, why do you always forget to clean them, the fish soup tastes bad if you put it in the fish soup." Oss looked at Song Lai just smiled and didn't talk.

Song Lai cleaned the stone pot, filled it with water, added a little salt, and brought An Ye's fine meat paste, held it gently in his hand, and slowly squeezed it out hard. Hold a small piece of wood in the other hand, scrape the meat paste squeezed to the tiger's mouth, and a meatball will be formed, put it into the pot, and continue, waiting for the meat paste to become balls, the meatballs in the pot The water is almost boiling.The meatballs all floated up.Song Lai took the lotus seeds that Oss had just smashed, picked out the bitter buds inside, and put them into the meatball soup.Gently stir with a wooden stick, and the soup will thicken after a while, waiting for the pot to bubbling.Song Lai took down the pot and put it aside, just in time An Ye came back, holding a pottery bowl with a diameter of more than ten centimeters in his hand, it is estimated that this bowl will not be able to take it back today.

Song Lai put the plate on the fire, then dug out some animal fat and put it on the plate.As the temperature of the plate rises, the solidified fat begins to turn into a liquid. Sigh~ Song Lai put the lotus root box on the already hot plate, and when one side is cooked, switch to the other side, frying a full side On the plate, lotus root box, An Ye was holding the baby, watching where Song Lai was cooking, and occasionally Song Lai would hand him a fried lotus root box, and he would take it, watching where An Ye was eating The eyes of the old and the young are staring at the things, and the baby, who is as big as a kid, even has a flattering smile on his face, reaching out to grab it. Song Lai seriously stopped the baby's behavior. She has no milk to eat, and eating broth every day is already very embarrassing, but she still wants to eat deep-fried lotus root.

A bowl of meatball soup was served for Oss and the baby, and then everyone gathered around the firepit and started to eat dinner.When Song Lai and An Ye were about to leave and go home, Aussie looked a bit overwhelmed.Song Lai was very worried about not breaking the old man, so he asked An Ye to take Oss for a walk, because Oss was very yearning for the lotus root box that Song Lai made for An Ye, but the lotus root box was really hard and not suitable for the elderly Eat, Song Lai promised him that as long as she went for a walk with An Ye, he would make a lotus root that he could eat, so Aos obediently followed An Ye for a walk.

Song Lai made some minced meat again, and then stuffed the minced meat into the hole of the lotus root. When it was full, he used lotus root to block all the holes, and put the minced meat in the pot as little as possible, and then put the stone pot in the pot. Fill the fire with water, put the lotus root in it, and simmer slowly on a low fire. When Oss comes back, tell him that he can eat it tomorrow morning.

Leaving the contented Oss's home, An Ye hugged the baby and walked to his home with Song Lai. The sun had already set and the moon was hanging slantingly in the sky. An Ye suddenly asked Song Lai, "Have you I thought about being a shaman of the tribe." "Why do you want to be a shaman, isn't a shaman Aussie?!" Looking sideways at An Ye's serious face, Song Lai replied inexplicably, "I won't be a shaman, I'm just your loved ones."

An Ye patted Song Lai's head and smiled before pulling Song Lai home.

Song Lai got used to it when the weather was densely covered with dark clouds.I hurriedly went outside to cut a lot of grass, and when I brought it back, it filled half of the shack.The people of the tribe knew the warmth of the fur, and all the leather that could be brought back was brought back intact.Now the children in the tribe all wear buckskin clothes and shoes.It is not difficult to wrap the outside and inside of the straw sandals with leather.

An Ye came back and saw a shack of grass, calmly went to the bedside to pick up the baby, and then walked to Song Lai who was cooking, "What are you going to do?" "Uh, the weather seems to be getting colder and colder, let's It doesn't matter if the baby is too cold, or it will be troublesome if it gets sick. Make a straw mat and cover the door after dinner to save the rain from splashing in. An Ye nodded and sat aside with the baby in his arms , and then started to weave straw mats. The baby looked at him in his arms and thought it was fun, so he kept making troubles and giggling.

After dinner, the rain poured down.

Song Lai fed the baby and began to coax her to sleep. It turned out that the baby was probably seeing rain for the first time. He was very surprised at the sound of rain, and refused to sleep no matter how much he coaxed him. I started to use the fatigue method to coax her. The so-called fatigue method is to make her so tired that she falls asleep by herself.Song Lai kept teasing the baby, and the baby giggled and laughed non-stop. Song Lai felt that the child was getting more and more energetic.

By the time An Ye wove the straw mat by the firelight and hung it on the door of the shack, Song Lai had been successfully lulled to sleep by the baby.There was a gap above the door, and he picked up the baby who was gnawing on his fingers and put him inside the bed, picked up Song Lai who was leaning on the bed, and put him upright, then An Ye also went to bed.First put the baby in his arms and pat it gently, after a while the baby fell asleep peacefully, then turned over and hugged Song Lai in his arms, An Ye also closed his eyes and fell asleep.

The rain still didn't stop the next day. An Ye stayed at home and had breakfast, and was tanning animal skins with plant ash. Song Lai started to weave a straw mat with a side width of only [-] centimeters from the grass in the shack, and continued to do so. It was two meters long, and it was circled from one end, rolled into a grass mound, and then used as a bench for An Ye to sit on.

Song Lai suddenly remembered the lotus roots he brought back a few days ago, he hurriedly found them, washed them one by one in the rain, and then gently ground them on a concave stone, and put the ground lotus roots into his front In the pottery pot made by time, squatting on the ground and grinding vigorously, a grass pier was placed under the buttocks, it was just right to sit on. Looking back, it turned out that An Ye had tanned the leather and made another grass with the leftover grass Tun, hey, he is such a smart kid, he knows everything after reading it once.

Seeing Song Lai looking at him, An Ye stepped forward to take over the work from Song Lai. An Ye's strength was stronger than Song Lai's, so the speed of grinding was naturally much faster than Song Lai's. It's full.

Song Lai put the clay pot aside, stirred it gently, and stood still for a while, then poured the slurry in the pot three times into three different pots, the first pot had more lotus root starch, and the second pot The lotus root starch and dregs are half and half, and the third pot will be lotus root dregs.Then gently agitate the pot and pour it out three times. As a result, there are many pots and bowls of different sizes on the ground.

An Ye looked at Song Lai with some admiration and admiration, remembering which basin each basin came from, and then according to the basin, it can be put aside to settle, and those basins need to be separated again.I really can't remember this without a good memory.Song Lai really felt stupid for his actions.But who told us that there is no cloth to filter it, it is really not easy to eat lotus root starch.

In this way, add water, stir, precipitate and separate, and then add water, stir, precipitate and separate, Song Lai tossed and tossed for two days before getting a small pot of lotus root powder, after adding water, stirring, separating and settling the lotus root powder, it was already three months before he got the snow-white authentic lotus root powder After a few days, the weather is a little clearer.

An Ye was amazed and admired by Song Lai for putting in so much effort to feed a certain kind of food.

Of course, after An Ye ate Song Lai's small dessert made with lotus root flour and knew that lotus root flour was more suitable for babies, he felt that everything was acceptable.When the sun finally came out, Song Lai had already separated and precipitated the final lotus root powder, and just dried it in the sun.It just couldn't be more perfect.

Although the long-lost sun came out, the weather was obviously getting colder.Song Lai suddenly remembered that Oss also said that he would take the women to get the lotus root and lotus seeds back there, but recently he has been making pottery with a full house, busy dealing with the new member of the family, baby, and unexpectedly put such an important thing I forgot.
