Aze was much more refined, he cut the mutton into pieces neatly and stacked them on the cattail leaves. At first glance it looked good, and he handed it to Chen Qi together with his chopsticks.
There was no bone soup today, so Chen Qi cooked a plate of dandelion tea in a pottery plate, put it in a bamboo tube made of yesterday's bamboo, and gave each person a portion, "If you eat a lot of meat, you can drink a little tea to relieve the greasy. "
Carlo took it with a bit of disgust, curled his lips, "This thing doesn't taste good at all."
"You can drink after eating the meat." Chen Qi suggested.
Aze glanced at Carlo lightly, Carlo stuck out his tongue secretly, stopped talking, and concentrated on eating meat.
Chen Qixian ate a piece of daylily flower. It tasted a little sweet and a little bitter. Maybe it was because the cooking method was too crude, so it wasn't very tasty. But in this kind of place where there is a complete lack of vegetables, it is already very satisfying to be able to cook a dish of daylilies.
It was the first time for Azhang and Ali to eat vegetables and animal offal in this way. They put a little bit of each and tried it. Compared with meat, the taste was a bit strange, but they didn't dislike it. "Maybe we can keep the internal organs in the future, so that we can reduce the number of times we go into the forest in winter." Azhang commented.
Several other orcs also nodded in agreement. The reason why they didn't eat animal offal was not that they couldn't eat it, but that the way of handling animals has been passed down since ancient times. No one has ever thought of changing it for hundreds of thousands of years. Moreover, there is no shortage of food in the Dora Plain in summer, and the animals have migrated away in winter. Naturally, no one will consider whether internal organs are edible or not.
After eating and drinking enough, Ake and Azhang need to continue hunting. In three months, it will be winter. Next week, Azhang needs to take people from the tribe to the lion wolf tribe to exchange salt stones and flints, so time very nervous.
"Chen Qi, you can lend Ake your backpack this afternoon. It can hold a lot of things as long as you carry it on your back, so that Ake can collect edible wild fruits on the road." Aze suggested before leaving.
"That's right, that backpack can hold a lot of things, and you don't have to worry about it falling out." Carlo echoed.
Azhang was puzzled, "Backpack?"
Chen Qi took out the emptied animal skin backpack and taught Ake how to carry it. Azhang leaned over curiously, pulled it with his hands, and found that it was very firm, and it didn't affect his movements even if he carried it on his back. If every female of this kind of backpack can have one, it can save a lot of time looking for food.
"Chen Qi, can you still make this kind of backpack?" Azhang asked with bright eyes.
Chen Qi hesitated and said: "Yes, yes, but I still have to build a house and maybe I don't have so much time to do it." Azhang is the acting head of the tribe, and Chen Qi can guess what the other party thinks after a little thought.
"You can teach Carlo and me how to do it." Ali interjected next to him, "And we can also help with building the house. Now that winter is coming, it is best to build the house early."
"I haven't figured out the specific plan of the house yet. How about I teach you how to make a backpack in the afternoon. I will design the plan of the house in the evening. How about you helping out together tomorrow?" There are so many people who compare him and Ah It must be much faster for the two of Ze to fiddle with each other.
"Yes." Everyone nodded in agreement.
After confirming, Ake and Azhang left. Chen Qi dug out a few suitable bones from Aze's bone collection. The tips of the bones were a little blunt. Chen Qiyi and Ali and Carlo first polished the bones to look like the bone needles they used, and they took the bone needles themselves. A slate, on which a simple front and back of a backpack was drawn with cooled charcoal.
The millstone was only the piece brought back by Aze last night. Carlo was not as good at this kind of labor-intensive work as Ali. As a result, the two bone needles were polished by Ali alone. Chen Qi took advantage of this gap and Aze and the others soaked the antelope meat left over from yesterday in boiling water, then marinated it with salt, strung it with the roots of banyan trees and hung it on the newly made drying rack. The previous wart pork also needed a re-salting.
After Chen Qi finished handling the meat, A Li finished polishing the two bone needles.
Chen Qi found a few light and tough animal skins, took the design drawing drawn on the slate and explained it to the two of them, while A Ze sat next to him, and according to Chen Qi's request, single-handedly selected the design that Chen Qi had made before. The bones used to make the hoe are slowly polished, and the bones of Stegosaurus are very hard. Polishing this requires more than just hard work, but more patience.
Even though Chen Qi tried to use straightforward words to explain, the two of them were still stunned. There was no way, Chen Qi could only demonstrate while talking. The orcs' learning ability is actually very strong, but their thinking is fixed and they can't turn around. As long as they are reminded a little bit and let them imitate, they will generally do better than Chen Qi, who taught others.
Chen Qijiao's method is to sew a whole piece of animal skin. As long as he has a general idea, the prototype of the backpack can be finished quickly. The most difficult part is the part of punching the animal skin. When Chen Qi first taught them, he asked them to punch a bone needle against the animal hide with a stone to make a hole. After thinking about it, he felt that female nails were much sharper than bone needles, so he suggested that Ali could try to make a hole with his nails. Unexpectedly, Ali did this, and the speed of being drilled with bone needles was much faster. In the end, even the backpack made by Carlo needed Ali to help make holes.
It was the first time for the orcs to use needles and threads. Although they always accidentally pricked their fingers in the first few times, they sewed better than Chen Qi after they were proficient.
Several people stumbled, one taught and two learned, and the atmosphere was rare and peaceful. While grinding his bones, Aze occasionally raised his head to look at the three of them. If he knew the words that the years are quiet, then these four words are the best portrayal at this moment.
