Farming in the Primitive Tribe

Although they didn't climb very high, they were on the other side of the mountain, and the round trip was not short.

"咩~咩~" Shen Xiaoxiao clearly heard the cry of the sheep. Her eyes lit up. She looked around but saw no shadow of the sheep. She felt disappointed in her heart. She thought she could catch a sheep.

Xiao Yan saw Shen Xiaoxiao's thoughts, a dark light flashed in his eyes, and he already had a plan in his heart.

When they returned to the tribe, the people who went out to hunt and gather had not returned yet. They took out the eggs and put them in a corner of the cave, and then started cooking.

Shen Xiaoxiao asked Xiao Yan to kill a chicken and asked him to keep the chicken feathers. She wanted to use the feathers to make reed boots. After all, she couldn't still wear sandals in winter.

She filled some water and put it on the stove to boil some chestnuts, so that the chestnut shells would be easier to peel off if they were scalded.

Shen Xiaoxiao put the chicken in the pot and cooked a pot of soup, put the shelled chestnuts in it, and finally sprinkled a little salt. The chicken soup with the fragrance of chestnuts lingered for a long time.

"Xiao Yan, we only have a little salt left." I don't know where the salt came from. This era should still be an era of barter exchange.

"In a few days, the tribe will go to other tribes to exchange things, and then we will exchange some back." Xiao Yan said calmly.

"What should we exchange for?" Shen Xiaoxiao was a little curious. After all, they were broke and had nothing to exchange for.

"It can be exchanged for animal skins or other prey food."

Shen Xiaoxiao thought for a while and said, "The baskets we weave can be replaced, right?" After all, there are no such things in this era, she thinks they should be quite popular, you can tell by the attitude of other people in the tribe.

"Yes." Xiao Yan nodded.

"Then let's weave a few baskets and exchange them. Can we exchange pots and bowls? Let's burn more and exchange them." Hunting is so dangerous, she doesn't really want Xiao Yan to go hunting, and animal skins must be used in winter. Yes, it is impossible to exchange it for something.

It would be great if I could use baskets and pots and bowls in exchange, but doing these would take a little time, but when I thought about it, it would take the same time as going hunting, but I would just do something different. And it's safer.

"It's okay." Xiao Yan thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll cut down some vines tomorrow." He remembered that there were a lot of vines growing in one place, but it took some effort.

"Okay, I'll make some pottery at home tomorrow, and then go into the mountains the day after tomorrow."

She wanted to say something else, but she heard, "It smells so good. What smells so good?"

"I smelled it too, it's still so strong."

Shen Xiaoxiao turned around. It turned out that the people who went hunting and gathering had returned. They were looking for the source of the fragrance. They followed the smell and walked to Shen Xiaoxiao one by one. They looked at the pot of soup that was still steaming. He couldn't help but swallowed, "Goddess, did you do this?"

Shen Xiaoxiao nodded slightly, "Yeah, chicken soup." After thinking about it, he changed the explanation, "It's the soup cooked by short-tailed birds."

All the people were in disbelief. It was fake. It was not like they had never eaten short-tailed birds before. How could it be so delicious? The gluttons in their stomachs were aroused. They really wanted to eat it, but this belonged to the goddess.

"Goddess, you didn't lie to us." Some people didn't believe it, "How can a short-tailed bird be so fragrant?"

"Why did I lie to you? Well, its feathers are still there." Shen Xiaoxiao pointed to the chicken feathers placed aside.

They were silent and began to wonder if what they ate before was not the same thing as what the goddess ate. How could the taste be so different? This smelled so fragrant and must taste delicious.

They swallowed hard and forced themselves to look away, "Goddess, you eat first, we also need to eat food."

Shen Xiaoxiao didn't stay either. After all, there were only so many. If she left people behind, it wouldn't be enough for each person to share.

Soon the tribe also lit a fire. The barbecue they had eaten with relish before now felt a bit bland and tasteless when they smelled the fragrance that was everywhere.

"Eat more." Shen Xiaoxiao gave Xiao Yan a large spoonful of chicken soup. "The yellow ones are chestnuts. Try it. It tastes very good."

Xiao Yan ate some, and his eyes lit up. It was a little pink and had a hint of sweetness. The important thing was that it was full and could fill his stomach. It turned out that this thing was really edible, but they didn't know it.

"Many delicious things can be made from chestnuts, but now the conditions are limited and we can only cook them and eat them." Shen Xiaoxiao took a sip of the soup and breathed a sigh of relief. Sure enough, she still had to eat something hot.

"We will pick up more the day after tomorrow." Shen Xiaoxiao said easily. In fact, Xiao Yan had already decided to pick up more without Shen Xiaoxiao's advice. After all, this is food and cannot be wasted.

After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Do you want to tell them?" Although they are not acting with the tribe now, he has lived in the tribe for many years, so he naturally wishes the best for the tribe.

"Come on, it's not a valuable thing. Besides, there are more than one tree like this in the mountains, and we can't pick them all up." Shen Xiaoxiao said calmly, they are not pigs, they can eat so many chestnuts.

Moreover, this way she can get along more harmoniously with the tribe and bring benefits to them. They will naturally accept her. Even though they are talking about a goddess now, if she cannot bring benefits to them for a long time, she is a goddess. No one will believe it in the end.

After all, Chinese people never worship useless gods, let alone she is a fake.

The most important thing is that only when the tribe is good can they be good. Although they don't act together, they are part of the tribe after all. Once something bad happens, she can't escape.

"By the way, you can also pick more persimmons and make them into persimmons. You can trade them for things or keep them for yourself." Shen Xiaoxiao thought for a while and said, this is all the food they can grab now. You can’t go wrong by picking more.

It's just that there are only two of them, so they can't do everything at once.

Just as Xiao Yan was about to say something, he saw the witch doctor approaching, followed by several people. He stopped talking and stood up. When he saw the witch doctor approaching, he said, "Witch doctor."

The witch doctor nodded towards him and smiled lovingly, "Goddess, how are you doing these days?"

Shen Xiaoxiao nodded, guessing in her mind that the witch doctor must be looking for her for something.

Sure enough, then she heard, "Goddess, we have something to ask of you."

"If you have anything to say, just say it." Shen Xiaoxiao said calmly.

The witch doctor hesitated for a long time, wondering, "We would like to ask you to teach us how to make the pot you use?" He then said anxiously, "We can exchange it with food." After saying that, he looked at Shen Xiaoxiao nervously, and so did the others. In this way, I was afraid that Shen Xiaoxiao would reject them.

Shen Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, but after thinking about it, she understood. She rolled her eyes slightly. In fact, it was not impossible to teach them. After all, she would also be making pottery blanks tomorrow, so there was no problem in teaching them.
