Regarding barley, not to mention the slaves who just arrived, in fact, even the people involved in barley cultivation don't know much about it.
The last time the beast god performed a miracle to make all the barley in the tribe ripen at one time, most of the barley was used as seeds.
Not only that, but the barley harvest was done by the priest himself.
It was a miracle after all!
For various reasons, the people in the tribe didn't know about barley at all. Now Zhou Ji said that the barley could be harvested, so they all gathered together and wanted to know how to harvest the barley.
This day happened to be a day when there was no hunting. Kumano followed Zhou Ji and looked at a large piece of barley in front of him, especially missing the noodles Zhou Ji made for him.
This barley was brought back by Zhou Ji, and Zhou Ji can get a lot... He feels that he should have the opportunity to eat a lot of noodles, and maybe he can eat other foods made of barley.
"The barley is harvested!" the priest said: "Come on some strong ones and bring the barley back to the tribe!"
He had studied it, and it was too troublesome to just pick the ears, so he had to cut them off and there was no tool, so he simply had them pulled back.
"Let's pull it out!" Many people responded, and Kumano was one of them.
The priest picked some people, and Kumano was among them. Then these powerful people began to pluck the barley. After plucking, they piled the barley together, and finally took it to the place where the pottery was made.
Although there is open space in the mountain, there is relatively little sunlight, but the barley needs to be exposed to the sun... The priest finally chose a place for firing pottery, and also specially leveled a place to dry the barley.
For the people in the tribe, pulling barley was a lot easier than digging eggs, and it didn't take long for all the barley to be sun-dried in the clearing.
Xiong Ye put all the barley away, and was about to go out to hunt and feed Zhou Ji when he was stopped by Zhou Ji: "Xiong Ye, help me get some barley back."
"Okay." Kumano responded, holding a wooden basin and starting to pull the ears of barley.
After a while, he pulled a pot of tassels.
"Xiong Ye, does Zhou Ji want to make delicious food again?" The priest felt a little greedy when he saw this scene.
"I don't know either." Kumano glanced at the priest vigilantly, and returned to the cave with the pot of tassels.
When he returned to the cave, Zhou Ji was not there, Kumano put the wooden basin on the ground, and then found helplessly that his cave was a little small.
There are more and more things in the cave. Although he has expanded the cave a bit, it is still not enough. Not only that, there are many things in the cave that he has not noticed.
He is so busy these days that he is often away from home, so that he doesn't even know what's in the bottles next to him.
Thinking like this, Kumano opened a wooden jar he had never seen before, and saw inside... a little bear
Kumano looked at the little bear in surprise.
With just one glance, he recognized that the little bear was himself.
In their tribe, the only animal whose shape is exactly the same as him is Xiong He. This one was carefully placed in a wooden jar. It is obviously a little bear made by Zhou Ji. It can't be Xiong He, so it must be him!
Zhou Ji actually made such a little bear and hid it!
Kumano couldn't say how happy he was. He knew that Zhou Ji went to pinch mud a few days ago, but he didn't expect Zhou Ji to pinch him... He was going to pinch Zhou Ji too.
Kumano put the wooden jar back and looked at the other jars.
Finally, he opened the jar of honey, dipped it with chopsticks and put it in his mouth.
So sweet!
Kumano's eyes narrowed, and when he closed the lid and planned to put the honey jar back, he heard Zhou Ji's voice: "If you like it, eat more."
Kumano: "..." Why did Zhou Ji come back so quietly? !
Also, he can eat more... Kumano took a spoon, dug a spoonful of honey into a bowl, dipped it with chopsticks, and tasted slowly.
Honey is so delicious!
Kumano held the bowl and asked, "Zhou Ji, what are you going to do with Damai?"
"Make barley pumpkin porridge." Zhou Ji showed Kumano the pumpkin he was carrying.
The previous time he went out to change salt, he brought back pumpkins, because there were not many pumpkins, and the people in the tribe could not share them temporarily, but he could eat them.
Kumano drank the barley porridge cooked by Zhou Ji and ate pumpkin, and asked, "Is this kind of porridge sweet?"
"Yes, I will also put sugar." Zhou Ji said.
Kumano suddenly looked forward to it.
He has no resistance to sweet things and likes to eat all kinds of sweet food the most!
Zhou Ji said again: "However, you have to help me husk the barley first."
"Escape?" Kumano was puzzled.
"It's just to remove the outer shell of the barley." Zhou Ji said.
Kumano was a little confused when he looked at the big pot of barley. The barley was so small, how long would it take to peel off all the shells
Wait, the last time they ate it, it seemed to be shelled. How long did it take Zhou Ji to shell it? Kumano looked at Zhou Ji with admiration.
Zhou Ji said: "You can knock off the shell on it by tapping lightly with a wooden stick."
Kumano tried it with a wooden stick, and then accidentally smashed some barley into pieces.
Fortunately, he didn't use much strength, and he didn't break the barley very much.
He studied slowly.
At the beginning, he couldn't master his strength and broke a lot of barley, but gradually, his strength could be controlled. better.
Kumano knocked on it so intently.
He didn't know how long he had been knocking, only that after a long time, he finally knocked all the barley.
At first, he broke a lot of barley, but later, the barley he knocked out had a lot of husks, but the grains were still intact.
"I'm done." Kumano said.
"It's done so quickly, it's amazing." Zhou Ji smiled.
Kumano was a little embarrassed: "A lot of them were broken, and those shells were mixed in..."
"It's okay." Zhou Ji said, he rubbed the wheat kernels with his hands, added water, and then the shells all floated on the water, picked up the shells and thrown away, and then poured out the water... Zhou Ji put those barley kernels Pour into the pot and cook.
A lot of barley was broken, but that didn't really affect the porridge.
Zhou Ji slowly boiled, waited for the water to boil, then put in the pumpkin, and then began to grill Kumano.
Cooking things in a stone pot is really slow and slow. Zhou Ji roasted all the meat for Kumano to eat, and the porridge was cooked. He added a little sugar and gave Kumano a bowl.
The porridge is sweet, the pumpkin inside is soft, and the cooked wheat kernels are even more delicious...
Kumano didn't like it, and thought this porridge was better than barbecue.
But he didn't eat too much, this porridge is better for Zhou Ji!
However, just after he finished eating, Zhou Ji added another large spoon to his bowl with a wooden spoon.
Kumano smiled and drank slowly, so as to avoid Zhou Ji having to give it to him again after he finished drinking all at once.
After drinking the porridge, Kumano left the cave.
He went to the place where the pottery was made, and asked for a piece of clay to make Zhou Jing.
He had a look of Zhou Ji in his heart. He thought that he could squeeze a vivid Zhou Ji like Zhou Ji squeezed a bear.
It must be too small to carve... Kumano took an extra piece of mud and began to pinch, and then found a needle-like, somewhat hard plant to carve this man.
And then, the finished product is still ugly, no, uglier.
Kumano: "…"
When Kumano was a little depressed, Pig Zhan, who had just returned from hunting outside, walked towards Kumano: "Kumano, why didn't you go hunting outside today?"
The barley was harvested in the morning. Kumano should be free in the afternoon, but for some reason, he didn't go out to hunt.
"I have something to do." Kumano said.
"What? To be a clay figurine?" Zhu Zhan sat down beside Kumano, and then looked at the person Kumano was sculpting with an indescribable expression - Kumano's pinching was too ugly!
"Yes." Kumano responded.
"Who is this clay figurine you made?" Zhu Zhan asked again.
"I want to be Zhou Ji." Kumano said, he really didn't have the face to tell Zhu Zhan that what he did was Zhou Ji, he could only say that he wanted to be Zhou Ji.
Kumano wanted to be a Zhou Ji, but as a result... he made such an ugly doll? Zhu Zhan was a little helpless, he didn't feel that the ugly clay figurine in front of him was Zhou Ji.
However, Kumano's thoughts are quite good: "You are doing this clay figurine to coax Zhou Ji, right? This is a good way!"
Kumano must be able to catch up with Zhou Mo, he must have some skills, he thinks he can learn a little bit.
In this way, he can coax his woman well in the future, and then let her stop hitting herself!
He fights with pigs, and he also wants to save face!
Kumano didn't know what Zhu Zhan was thinking. He squeezed the clay figurine into mud again and couldn't help frowning: "I can't squeeze it well."
"Actually, it's okay." Pig Zhan said, he felt that he couldn't handle Kumano so well.
"Zhou Ji is the same as the real thing." Kumano said.
"People are different from us. He is the messenger of the beast god." Zhu Zhan sighed, Zhou Ji has real skills, they can't compare with him, and there is no need to compare.
"That's right, Zhou Ji is very powerful." Kumano was very proud.
Seeing Kumano's happy face, Zhu Zhan said, "Your relationship is really good. I hope your relationship can continue to be so good."
"Of course, we are the blessed companions of the Beast God!"
"What about the partner blessed by the beast god? Isn't it still separated?" Zhu Zhan said.
"What nonsense are you talking about? How can a partner blessed by the beast god be separated!" Kumano said: "After forming a partner, you will be together forever."
"Is there such a thing?" Pig Zhan was a little confused.
"Aren't you like this?" Kumano asked.
"Of course not." Zhu Zhandao, there are many people in their tribe who become partners, basically two-thirds of them will find a partner for themselves when they become adults.
Most people will grow old with their partner, but not everyone is like this. There are many people who live apart.
Let's just say that his father has changed several partners? !
"How are you?" Kumano asked.
Zhu Zhan talked about the situation in the tribe and said, "You know, I have a partner, and I like her very much."
Kumano didn't pay attention to Zhu Zhan's gentle face when he mentioned his partner, and only said: "You are mistaken, after you form a partner, you can't be separated for a lifetime!"
Pig Zhan: "..." Is there such a thing
Pig Zhan originally wanted to question, but thought that Zhou Ji was the messenger of the beast god, but gave up - maybe, is that true
Zhu Zhan didn't bother about this any more, and was planning to talk to Kumano about something else. Kumano said, "You must treat your partner well in the future, and you must not betray her, otherwise the beast god will be unhappy and will punish you."
In recent days, Zhu Zhan often goes hunting with Kumano, and his relationship with Kumano has improved. Of course, their relationship can be improved, and the most important point is that the misunderstanding has been resolved - after learning that Zhu Zhan has a partner , Kumano's hostility to the pig war has completely disappeared.
Unexpectedly, I learned from Zhu Zhan that their partners can be changed... How can this be possible!
Kumano felt that he had to educate himself about pig warfare.
"Okay." Pig said.
Kumano asked again: "What does your partner like? What will you give her?"
Zhu Zhandao: "She likes to beat me and eat meat. I usually give her prey or weapons."
Kumano wanted to learn something from Pig Zhan, but he didn't expect to get such an answer, and was a little disappointed - Zhou Ji doesn't like hitting people, doesn't like eating meat, and doesn't like weapons. As for the prey... Who doesn't give it away
Xiong Ye felt that he might not be able to hold the clay figurine well, and was thinking about a gift to give to Zhou Ji, Zhu Zhan said again: "Xiong Ye, how does it feel to be with a man?"
"Very good." Kumano said.
Kumano almost blurted out, Zhu Zhan said: "Looks like Zhou Ji is great... He looks really good, he must be comfortable to hold, but he is a little tall, I know a man outside, he likes men, but only likes slender stature Good-looking man."
Kumano was a little stunned: "A slim body can still look good?" Isn't it better that the stronger the body is? He always felt that Zhou Ji was a little thin.
Pig Zhan said: "You really... Right, I know he will use something, do you want it? It will make you feel more comfortable."
"What?" Kumano asked.
"It's the oil in a fruit." Zhu Zhan explained.
The more Kumano listened, the more wrong he felt.
What Zhu Zhan said is different from him and Zhou Ji!
Could it be that he made a mistake with Zhou Ji before
Kumano suddenly wanted to understand, a feeling like being struck by lightning.
"What's wrong with you?" Pig Zhan asked.
"Men are with men, not with their hands?" Kumano asked.
Pig Zhan: "..." So, what did these two do after they became partners? !
Pig Zhan was a little dumbfounded, and Kumano couldn't wait to beat his chest - how much time did he waste? !
Kumano immediately ran to the cave.
Zhu Zhan saw that Kumano ran away, and then he remembered what he was here for: "Kumano, you won't fight with us today?"
He is still waiting for his subordinates to fight Kumano, and then change the seasoning!
As a result, Kumano ran away
But he can also understand Kumano, and suddenly knowing that he has had a partner for so long and has not eaten his partner in his mouth, everyone will be anxious!
Zhu Zhan could only go back helplessly, preparing to eat the most ordinary barbecue with some salt, but at this time Kumano had already run into the cave: "Zhou Ji, I know something."
Zhou Ji was puzzled: "What's the matter?"
"It turns out that men and men should be like this..." Kumano said quickly.
Zhou Ji covered her head helplessly.
He knew that Kumano would know about it sooner or later, but he really didn't expect Kumano to know so quickly.
"Who told you?" Zhou Ji asked.
Kumano Road: "Pig Battle... Kumano, let's try it?"
Kumano has always been straightforward and bold, and he already hugged Zhou Ji as he spoke.
He wants to make out with Zhou Ji!
He believed that Zhou Ji must also want to make out with him!
Kumano thought so, but Zhou Ji said, "Wait, I'm a little scared."
"Afraid?" Kumano wondered.
Zhou Ji said: "I'm afraid of pain, so... will it hurt?"
Kumano thought about it for a while, and felt that it should hurt a little, and immediately said: "Well, come on!"
Zhou Ji: "..." Kumano is even more happy than he imagined!
Also, what he thought Kumano would insist on, Kumano didn't insist on... So cute!
It's just... Zhou Ji said: "I'm also afraid that you will hurt, maybe you will get hurt."
Zhou Ji said some reasons, and these reasons are all reasonable.
But he did not agree, mainly not because of these.
When he agreed to Kumano's "marriage proposal", it was just to help Kumano, but he didn't think much about it. If Kumano came to the door at that time, he might have fallen asleep.
But now that his relationship with Kumano is getting deeper and deeper, he has many concerns instead.
For example, does Kumano really like him? At that time, if he did not agree, would Kumano choose someone else as his partner, and if Kumano chose someone else as his partner, would he be as good to that person as him
And how does he feel about Kumano
Zhou Ji looked at Kumano deeply.
Kumano kissed Zhou Ji and felt that Zhou Ji's little appearance of worrying about her injury was really cute!
In fact... how do men do, should be similar? Actually it doesn't have to be...
"That's it." Kumano said.
Zhou Ji: "..." Is this okay? Kumano won't fight for it
Kumano really forget it, after going to bed that night, he fell asleep immediately.
Zhou Ji gave him some energy and fell asleep with a complicated mood, but he didn't fall asleep all night.
Early the next morning, Kumano got up and was about to go hunting, but when Zhou Ji followed him out of the cave, he found that Zhu Zhan was observing him.
It was this person who caused him to not sleep well last night!
Zhou Ji rubbed his brows and sighed.
Zhu Zhan saw that Zhou Ji was walking as usual, and there was no difference at all, and he had to hate Kumano.
But this is other people's business, and he doesn't care too much.
With this skill, he might as well try making boats more!
These days, Zhu Zhan took a lot of small wood back to the cave where he and his subordinates lived together. He wanted to be the boat that Zhou Ji said. Although he made some, it was difficult to enlarge it and sit. In addition, the river How to deal with the predators here is also a big question.
Pig fighting is very sad.
And just when the pig was wary, the tribe burned pottery for the third time.
This time Zhou Ji attached great importance to it. He personally put the things he made, including the little bear made of clay, and then let people put the things made by other people in the tribe. .
The fire was raging.
This evening, when everyone was eating beside the pottery pit, Zhu Zhan's subordinate asked Zhu Zhan: "Brother, do you think the Big Bear tribe can make pottery this time?"
"Maybe, but it is estimated that there are only one or two pieces." Zhu Zhandao, the high priest of the Beast Temple does not have many pottery, which means that the production of this pottery should be quite complicated for the Beast Temple.
The Beast Temple has been making pottery for so many years, and the pottery made every year is very small. The Big Bear Tribe has only made it twice in total, so what can they make
Although it has been recognized that Zhou Ji is the messenger of the beast god at this time, but the big bear tribe said that the barley will ripen immediately, and the potatoes will grow into one day and so on, and Zhu Zhan still cannot fully believe it.
As for those slaves who joined the Big Bear tribe for only ten days...
These ten days of life are simply heaven for them.
During these ten days, they were able to eat two meals a day, and each meal was full. Although they didn't eat meat, they were mainly potatoes, but for them, they were already extremely happy.
These people are getting fat almost at a rate visible to the naked eye.
They were very grateful to the Big Bear Tribe, but they were puzzled by the fact that the Big Bear tribe played with mud and burned the mud with fire.
The last time they came over, it was burning, and it seemed that only some fragments were burned in the end. This time it should be similar
I don't know why the people of the Big Bear tribe do these things...
Everyone was very curious, and at this time, the fire finally went out, and the temperature in the pit slowly dropped.
Kumano was the first to jump into the "fire pit".
He saw Zhou Ji put the bear in it, and he didn't know if the bear was burned...
Kumano hoped that the little bear hadn't been burned.
After he went in, he immediately wanted to see the bear, but it was a little hot...
"Be careful." Zhou Ji reminded, and just as he reminded him, he saw Xiong Ye turned into a brown bear.
Kumano, who turned into a brown bear, had rough skin and thick flesh, and was not afraid of being hot, and quickly took out the pottery inside.
He took out a beautifully baked bear, with a face full of surprise - the bear was not broken!
Zhou Ji had long known that the little bear was not broken, how could the thing he squeezed, what he was protecting with his spiritual power, break
As for the others... Zhou Ji said: "You take out the others too."
Kumano nodded, then took out another complete clay pot.
Then, he took out the complete pottery bowl, pottery pot, and pottery pot.
These are thin, and except for the thicker pan, everything else is light and extra smooth.
Kumano had polished stone tools, and even if he worked hard to polish things like stones, he would not be able to make such a pot!
Before Zhou Ji was making pottery, he actually didn't understand it, and he didn't know what pottery looked like, but now... Kumano looked at the pots and pans in front of him and was a little excited.
These things look amazing!
"These are all ours, take them back." Zhou Ji pointed to the things he did. When he did these things, he said that all the things he did were his.
"Zhou Ji, you are worthy of being favored by the beast god, and none of the pots you made are broken!" the priest said excitedly.
Zhou Ji: "… "
"With the pot you made, there are even other pottery that have been fired!" The priest said again, looking at the finished products other than the ones made by Zhou Ji in surprise.
In the first two firings of pottery, apart from giving the people in the tribe some more pottery pieces for decoration, there was actually no result. This time it was different.
This time, in addition to those of Zhou Ji, a complete pottery pot, a pottery pot with a missing hole, two pottery bowls, and a pottery pot were also fired.
Compared with the ones made by Zhou Ji, these pottery are rough to the naked eye, but even so, this is pottery!
When the priest picked up the pottery and felt its weight, he knew how precious it was.
Stone tools are not easy to use, especially stone pots. It takes a lot of firewood every time to cook the contents in it, but this pot…
The priest said: "These... take them to my cave first!"
Xiong Hedao: "Should you only need a pot?"
"This gap is for you." The priest said.
After everyone "divided the spoils", they returned to their own caves with their belongings.
Zhou Ji started cooking.
There have been a lot of vegetables in the tribe recently, and he has fried several.
I used to fry things in a stone pot before, and it felt really bad, and sometimes it seemed that it was not frying, but cooking. The vegetables were always overcooked accidentally, or they were undercooked no matter how.
It's different now.
Using this clay pot for cooking, although not as good as an iron pot, is much better than a stone pot, not to mention that Zhou Ji also made some very large plates.
Zhou Ji sautéed several vegetables in one go, and cooked rice with hulled barley.
Barley can be cooked directly. The cooked rice is chewy and fragrant, but a little hard, and it is definitely not as good as rice.
But in places where there is no rice to eat, a bowl of wheat rice is also very good.
Zhou Ji hasn't eaten for a long time, and now he uses rice with serious stir-fry dishes... He has a big appetite.
As for the priest... After the priest returned to his cave with a clay pot, the first thing he did was to fry the meat with chili peppers.
His craftsmanship is not good, but the meat he uses is bacon that is salty and suitable, so he can't go wrong when frying it, and this frying, he discovers how easy the pottery pot is.
Priests who have never used iron pots feel that clay pots are the best pots to use.
Only Bear River...
The patriarch Xiong He returned home and planned to cook some meat in a clay pot, so he poured water and set it on the fire, but the whole pot was burned and cracked.
Bear River: "… "
Seeing this, Xiong He's woman took half a pottery pot and put it on her head, and asked Xiong He, "Do you think I look good like this?"
Xiong Hedao: "It looks good." He put the other half of the pot on his head, thought about it, took it off and started polishing it.
When Kumano and Zhou Ji were cooking in the cave at night, Zhu Zhan was still a little dazed.
The Big Bear Tribe was so quick to make pottery!
Forget the ones that the priests took away, the pottery that Zhou Ji made and fired after making them is really perfect!
Such pottery, let alone dinosaurs, can even be used to exchange territory!
"I've decided!" Zhu Zhan suddenly said.
"What did you decide?" Zhu Zhan's subordinates asked one after another.
Pig Zhandao: "I want to join the big bear tribe!"
He used to be the young patriarch of the Giant Pig Tribe, but now he is no longer, and he doesn't want to go back to be the patriarch.
He felt that it would be more promising to join the Big Bear tribe.
His father didn't even have a lot of pottery, but he'd definitely be able to use pottery if he kept working in the Big Bear tribe!
The more Pig War thought about it, the more he thought it was a good idea.
One of Zhu Zhan's subordinates said, "I thought we had already joined the Big Bear tribe, but we didn't?" Don't they hunt with others every day
Pig War: "… "
At the same time, Xiong Qi, Xiong Bai and others climbed into the pottery-burning pit together.
When they met inside, both of them were a little embarrassed, and then they silently found a place to lie down. When they lay down... they suddenly found someone beside them.
"This is the place where the artifacts given to us by the beast gods are fired... You are here to get the light, right?" The priest's voice sounded lingeringly.
Xiong Bai: Priest, your old man was cooking in the cave not long ago, and now you are here. Your hands and feet are really fast!
