Carlo took out a bone knife wrapped in animal skin from his arms. The bone knife was very white and smooth, and it could be seen that it had been carefully polished. He grabbed a handful of withered and yellow weeds. If there is more than enough, the bone knife will cut off the weeds at the root.
Chen Qi was amazed, he didn't expect the bone knife to be so sharp, "How did you sharpen this bone knife?"
Seeing that Chen Qi would ask himself a question, Carlo couldn't help puffing out his chest, and explained generously: "There is a kind of rough black stone in the Chishui River, and it can grind bones very well if you grind it slowly. Sharp." After finishing speaking, he snorted softly, "That's a lot of hard work, if you just sharpen it casually, it won't have the same effect as mine."
Rough black stone? If it can be polished, it should be something similar to a millstone. After understanding, Chen Qi lowered his head and continued the work in hand.
Seeing that Chen Qi didn't continue to ask him, Carlo felt a little unhappy. Seeing the sword horn knife in Chen Qi's hand, he felt a little sore. Before he asked Aze to ask for it, he didn't give it to him, but he did. It doesn't matter what the younger brother is after the male son. Carlo pulled the weeds in his hands heavily, making a loud noise.
Chen Qi looked back suspiciously, and seeing Carlo started to have a stinky face again, he couldn't help but black question marks all over his face, how did he offend this little ancestor, wasn't he all right just now
Ake leaned close to Chen Qi while dealing with the weeds, and said in a low voice: "He is just jealous that you took A Ze's sword horn. He asked A Ze several times and A Ze didn't give it to him."
Chen Qi looked down at the Jianjiao knife that had been modified by himself, and asked tentatively: "Then I will pass it on to him?"
"Don't." Ake waved his hand, "If you give it to Carlo, Aze will probably be angry."
"Then what should I do?" Carlo was angry if he didn't give it, and Aze was angry if he gave it. What can he do.
Ake smiled, and I have to say that Ake's smile is very attractive, which can make people feel at ease, "Do you think that Carlo always looks like you don't like it?"
Chen Qi nodded hesitantly.
"It's okay, he's not really angry with you, he's just angry with the past." Ake explained paradoxically, and then walked to Carlo to help Carlo deal with a small sapling that the bone knife kept cutting.
Chen Qi didn't bother anymore, as long as Carlo wasn't angry with him, it would be fine. As for the reason, he would know it when he should know. He is not a gossip person either. The more important thing right now is to get the house done first, after all Survival was the biggest problem in front of all problems, and winter was coming, and he had no time to waste.
I have to say that after the two of Carlo joined, a piece of land that looked less than a hundred square meters was sorted out quickly. Chen Qi tied the cut dry grass into bundles with the roots of banyan trees, and neatly stacked them. Next to the house, these are materials that can be burned and cannot be wasted.
Ake was rubbing Carlo's arm, and Carlo glared at Ake in disgust, enjoying the action. Chen Qi didn't have time to pay attention to the two tired and crooked people, he was sorting out the small pile of green weeds, most of them were plants that Chen Qi didn't know, and they didn't look like they could be eaten, but there were two It is very similar to a plant that Chen Qi has often seen before, the small thistle.
Speaking of the name Xiao Ji, Chen Qi only found out about it when he was working on the project, because its flowers are purple, and although they are small, they are very beautiful. Although the two trees in his hand are not yet in bloom, Chen Qi is not mistaken for the long leaves with thorns. The main reason is that these things are more common than dandelions. There is this thing all over the world. Moreover, this thing can not only be eaten as a vegetable, but more importantly, it has the function of stopping bleeding. In this place where there is no medicine at all, Chen Qi was very happy to find this little hemostatic grass.
Chen Qi couldn't wait to try the effect of the thistle, picked a stone that looked clean from local materials, wiped it with withered grass, picked two leaves from one of the thistles, and carefully rubbed it with the stone. mashed. The hand that was scratched by Azhang yesterday stopped bleeding, but the wound was still there. After I came back, I changed the cloth and tied it up. Chen Qi untied the cloth strip, covered the wound with crushed thistle leaves, and then tied the cloth strip back. As soon as I finished, I saw Aze come back carrying a warthog, holding something wrapped in cattail leaves in his hand.
Aze walked in front of several people, looked at Carlo in a little surprise, but asked Ake, "Why are you here?"
"When I delivered the antelope meat as a reward to Uncle Ali yesterday, I heard that you might go to the Luoya Forest to find cocoons, so let's take a look."
"Fortunately, we came to take a look." Carlo took the words and looked at Chen Qi meaningfully.
"You're back? What are you holding in your hand?" Chen Qi carefully put the little thistle in his hand into the pocket of his coat, laughed and took up the topic. The encounter with the vulture is over anyway, there is no need to talk about it again. Let Ze know.
Aze happily put down the warthog, and opened the palm leaves to reveal a pile of potatoes still stained with soil, "I found two potatoes from yesterday, and there are ten of them. Today we can continue to make potato stew."
"Potato stew? What's that?" Carlo leaned over to look at what Aze was holding, and asked curiously.
"Well, you can stay and eat for a while and you'll find out." Chen Qi took the potatoes and said to Carlo.
"Huh? Is it okay? OK. Ake, let's eat here today."
"Okay." Ake pampered Carlo's head.
Aze glared at Ake, and didn't even ask his master's opinion if he didn't bring food.
Ake smiled and picked up the warthog on the ground, "You haven't dealt with this prey yet, have you? I'll take it to the Chishui River to deal with it."
"Wait." Chen Qi stopped Ake, who was about to leave after picking up the prey, "Don't throw away the internal organs." A Ze always threw away the internal organs before, but now he is not in the wild, so naturally he must keep the edible ones .
"Why do you keep the offal? Eat it?" Carlo frowned. They have never eaten offal, and no one has tried to eat it. Every time the prey is hunted, the internal organs and head are removed. Is it possible to keep the internal organs? Still want to eat
"Haven't you all eaten?"
The three shook their heads in unison.
Chen Qi tentatively asked: "Can't eat it or just haven't eaten it?" After all, the people here are worshiped by beast gods. In some respects, it's better to ask clearly first, and it will be troublesome if any taboo is violated.
"I haven't eaten it." Aze replied, "The custom that has been passed down is to remove the internal organs and heads of the prey before eating. When the animals in the Dora Plain migrated back, we did not lack food, and the dragons Most of the internal organs are poisonous, so no one has tried to eat them."
"Then let's try it today? Just keep the warthog's heart and kidney. If you think it's edible, we'll keep the rest next time. How about throwing it away if you can't eat it?"
Aze nodded, "Okay." Carlo and the two naturally had no objections, they just came here for free.
Finally, Ake picked up the warthog, Aze went back to the house and took two clay pots, and the two went to the Chishui River. Before leaving, Chen Qi also told Aze that if he saw that kind of black stone that could sharpen bone knives, he would take one back for him, and Aze agreed. Then Chen Qi and Carlo went back to the house.
Chen Qixian washed off the dirt on the surface of the potatoes, and began to peel them with a sword corner knife. Carlo still felt a little awkward being alone with Chen Qi. After wandering around the room, Chen Qi raised his head and asked, "Can you peel these potatoes for me?"
Carlo curled his lips, but didn't say anything. He sat down next to Chen Qi spontaneously, took out the bone knife, and cut off a large piece of potato and skin with one knife. Carlo was startled, and sneaked a look at Chen Qi's expression with a little embarrassment. Chen Qi didn't blame the other party. Novices will inevitably make mistakes. Chen Qi demonstrated with a potato: "Look at me like this, so use less force."
Carlo collected himself and imitated Chen Qi's movements. After trying a few times, he finally got a good look. After successfully peeling a potato, Carlo couldn't help but smile at Chen Qi, and belatedly realized that it was Chen Qi. Kai, and withdrew his expression in annoyance.
Chen Qi looked at him amusedly, "Then please peel the remaining potatoes, and I'll deal with the wild vegetables." Ten potatoes are not too many, Chen Qi has already processed four or five, and the remaining Let this awkward child figure it out for himself.
The dandelion has just bloomed and has no elders yet, so Chen Qi only needs to pick off the leaves that are a little yellow at the root, and store the blooming flowers on it separately, planning to dry them and make scented tea for drinking. Although Chen Qi picked a large bundle of dandelions, he didn't plan to finish it in one meal. The three orcs here have always been carnivorous, so he only needs to take a small handful and fry a piece of meat. The rest is going to be saved for the next meal and tomorrow, and he doesn't know when he will find the wild vegetables for the next meal after eating the dandelions.
The potatoes were all processed. Chen Qi took a few peeled potatoes and cut them into shreds. This can be used to make potato fried meat, and the rest can be cut into pieces and stewed with pork. Unfortunately, the The seasoning is only salt, and the oil can only be fried with the fat of warthogs. There are only a few perilla leaves that were picked before, and there are two pieces of wild ginger. Although they are not big, they can still be used sparingly It will take a few more days.
When Chen Qi had almost finished the preparations, Aze and the two came back. I don't know if it was Chen Qi's illusion, but I always felt that Aze's expression was a bit weird after going out for a while, and he silently pretended Putting down the clay pot full of water, he looked at Chen Qi who seemed hesitant to speak, but he didn't say anything.
Ake put the warty pork on a clean hide, and brought back a pig heart and a pig kidney. Looking at the cleaned materials, Chen Qi was very satisfied.
