7.7 Big Pot Rice
"cough."
A light cough suddenly sounded from behind. The two of them turned their heads and looked out, and an orc walked out from behind the grass.
The person who came was one of the orcs escorting the collection team. He stood about the same height as Simon, and was relatively petite among the male orcs.
"Northon?" Simon saw him happily stepping forward and patting his shoulder: "Hey, you're here just right, help carry these back~"
Northon smiled at her, looked at Tao Wei with a little shy look, pointed to the vine net on the ground and said, "Maybe I can do this."
It was for the beautiful female... Simon sneered and gave him the net.
Northen had never seen the net, but he had weaved a rope to carry his prey better. So he retracted the edges by weaving the rope. After a while, the vine net appeared in front of Tao Wei intact.
The vine net that was collected by the edge was not easy to dissipate, so I steadily kept the radish in my arms. Northon picked it up and camel it on his back, weighed it, indicating that one person could do it.
"You are so strong." Tao Wei once again witnessed the difference between orcs and humans, defense, attack power, and explosive power, which are incomparable.
Northon is shy, and such a tall person actually blushed because of a word.
The three of them gathered together at the place where they met the female who was digging wild vegetables, and they stared blankly at the fresh things on Northon's back.
"What are you...?" a female stepped forward and asked curiously.
Simon is a very laughing person, haha: "This is what Tao Wei discovered and can be eaten!"
This sentence is undoubtedly something that all females care about, and they immediately started to ask questions. Some people also talked about where they were and saw many prickly dishes.
When we arrived at the meeting place, almost everyone came back. Everyone wanted to see how to eat this thing, so Lannis said, "Let's go back."
When we return to the tribe, we have to set up stone pots to cook. On weekdays, we will go home to our own families when we collect things. However, when we prepare stocks before the rainy season or when winter comes, we will make big pots of rice, saving us time to cook.
The things collected were distributed uniformly by Lannis. The tribe's patriarch and sacrificial status were high, and they and the collectors each received a large share, while the rest received a small share.
For example, the mountain radish picked by Tao Wei and Simon can each get four or five, the patriarch and priests are the same, and one or half of them are left depending on the situation.
These orcs had never eaten this white radish. They were all watching at this time. The hunting team led by the patriarch and Ilsas was also back now. They carried two large preys, named Heheng Beast, but in fact they were a strong wild boar.
This wild boar is so fat that it requires six or seven people to carry it. Even if the orcs are strong, it seems to be difficult. People in the tribe are very happy to see it. These two humming beasts can not only have a full meal, but each person can also get a piece of meat as big as a palm. In addition to other small preys, it can be said that it is a great harvest.
This is a square-like place where sacrifices and bonfires are held on weekdays. There are two large stone pots, and the broth cooked is enough for the females to share. It was just the first time they saw white radish, so Tao Wei could only guide him to see how to eat it.
Tao Wei, who hadn't had a good meal for so many days, did not refuse at this time. She rolled up her sleeves and helped everyone wash the radish together, picked the leaves and chopped them into small squares, and then put them into the pot and stew them. It was very simple.
The orcs waved the stone knife to break up the Hemg beast. Tao Wei picked up the bones and made the soup just right. The internal organs were cleaned and they could make delicious food, which was of various benefits to the human body.
At this time, there is no other spices, it is good to have salt. The stewed radish with pork bones may be a little lacking in taste, but it should be a rare delicacy for these orcs.
The leaves of the radish should not be thrown away. Wash them clean, spread them and dried them, and then pickled with salt to become pickles.
"Why did you pick up all these?" Lanis looked at the pork liver radish leaves and whispered: "These things are not delicious..."
When the tribe is short of food, they will also eat animal offal, but they are not cooked without any treatment. The fishy smell is very strong and not salty. You can imagine the taste. The same is true for radish leaves. At first, they didn’t know that the rhizomes were like this, and they only ate the leaves, which were very rough.
"It's okay, these are edible."
The pork belly and fat intestines were very dirty before they were processed. Although Tao Wei was very disgusted, he had no obsession with the dishes they made. Fortunately, an old man took over the cleaning work.
The big-breasted woman next to her kept staring at Tao Weilai and was busy, and she followed the people beside her and curled her lips: "I'm just making these for everyone to eat, and I'm so embarrassed to show off. It's obvious that it was from a small tribe."
When Tao Wei heard this, he asked Simon, "Who is that person?"
Simon Nunu said, "I told you, Anita, you took away her most beautiful title."
"..." Oh, it's her.
During work, Tao Wei, a new face, was often surrounded by people from the tribe. Many people were curious about asking her where she came from, whether she had a partner? Or gave her some small things... and made the people a little overwhelmed. These orcs were too direct and enthusiastic.
It was not until the fragrant radish stew was released from the pot that everyone's attention was diverted. The hot soup was bubbling. It was a tempting sound. Many people couldn't help but stare at the stone pot and swallowed.
"It looks delicious!" Simon's saliva was almost flowing out.
There were many barbecue on another fire next to it, which was the staple food of the orcs. They were strong and had a lot of food. So many people could eat the whole wild boar.
Barbecue is difficult to cook. It has just been burnt on the surface, but you can eat stewed radish first.
Before the meal started, Uncle Kaido summoned everyone to speak, saying: The females in the tribe still collected, but the hunting orcs had to extract some of them and go to the Salt Water Lake to cook salt.
They must speed up, go and go early, return to the tribe before the rainy season, and catch another batch of prey, pickle and store it.
This is the first time that many people in the tribe have heard of salt. Although they have never seen it, they have never doubted it. When it comes to storing food, they feel even more passionate. The rainy season that doesn’t worry about food is so desirable.
Uncle Kaido said concisely, and after saying his decision, he asked Lannis to share it with everyone. Stewed radish with meat had already distracted many people from the attention.
The old and small in the tribe were consciously waiting in line with the stone bowl. Lannis was scooping something similar to a scoop in the pot. She was the patriarch's companion, and this work was always under her charge.
Tao Wei looked at the orcs and females in the square. There were relatively few children, and there were only about a hundred people in total. For a group, there were really fewer...
The fragrance of food has long been lingering in the tip of the nose. Only when you really eat it into your mouth can you confirm that it is delicious. Those people snore, and after a few bites, half a big bowl will disappear.
Female eat more than women on earth. Such a little soup is not enough for them to stuff their teeth, so they have to have two more bowls. Their daily staple food is also barbecue, and they eat it with wild vegetable soup. Today this tastes better, so they can eat it with two pots.
After a bowl of rice, everyone couldn't wait to have salt. It must be because it makes the food more delicious! Many people also remembered where they had seen thorny vegetables in the past, and they would dig them all back the next day, and there would be more food in the future.
Tao Wei almost burst into tears after eating the familiar taste that he had not lost for a long time. The only drawback is that this bowl is too heavy! A natural stone that does not add is a bowl of rice. Holding it is like lifting a weight, it is exhausting to me.
Uncle Kylo quickly finished a bowl, and he said happily: "Salt and radish are brought to us by Tao Wei. This precious female has no companion yet! Everyone can become her guardian with their own abilities!"
As soon as these words were said, the feelings were high, and the orcs all shouted, wishing they could throw the stone bowl and run to her to show their masculinity. A wolf howling screamed and scared Tao Wei to death. Fortunately, the custom here is to respect females rather than to force them.
However, the scenes of the suitors also stimulated Anita. She has always been the number one beauty in the tribe. At this moment, a new female suddenly came and she easily compared herself. How could she be convinced?
She stood up with her chin and said, "The root of this prickly dish is good, but I don't know if the salt can store food. She won't be lying to us, right?"
Angel scratched his head with a broken hairstyle and said, "How could the beautiful female lie to us?"
"The patriarch wants to find so many people to go out, and then there will be fewer patrolers in the tribe. If the next tribe attacks it, what should I do?"
Fights between tribes often exist, nothing more than plundering food and females. It will take at least four or five days to say it back and forth on the Salt Water Lake. Anita's words are not unreasonable.
The orcs immediately whispered, it was not uncommon. While their young and strong orcs went out to hunt, they were sneak attacked by enemy tribes and suffered heavy losses.
However, the trip to cook salt must go. Uncle Kaido waved his hand and signaled everyone to be quiet. "Irsas brought Tao Wei back and also allowed us to see salt. This is the guidance of the beast god, helping us to spend every rainy season in the future!"
The beast god? Tao Wei's brows moved slightly. Have these people had faith so early? Look at the priest beside the patriarch, who looks like a middle-aged obese woman. She looks ordinary and doesn't know how she was elected.
Finally, Uncle Kaido spoke, and Anita's doubts were ineffective. After all, the stewed radish was in front of him, and Tao Wei had already gained the initial trust of everyone, and more importantly, she was a female, so basically no one would doubt it.
Although she was unhappy, Anita did not dare to refute the patriarch in person, so she could only glar at Tao Wei and turn around to look at her again.
