When the boat pulled in the net for the first time and the fish in the net jumped and struggled, the Native Americans who came back to the deck had a look of jealousy in their eyes.
They knew how to fish, but they could get so many fish in one net. It was enough for many people to eat for a long time.
They had fishing nets, but they were not strong and small. The weave was not dense enough.
Most of the time, they needed to use wooden spears and stones to break the net and then fish out the fish.
Generally, freshwater fish were more suitable. If it was in the sea, it would be more difficult.
Li Yi steered the boat and fished for entertainment.
The Native Americans fished for survival. Fish was delicious and meat.
After catching the fish, Li Yi lowered the bottom net to catch shellfish.
Shellfish could only be found by the sea. It was difficult to dive for them.
If Li Yi dived without any equipment, he would catch shellfish and swim. The amount he caught would be enough for a few people to eat.
It looked fine, but it was not worth it.
If the calories he consumed were used in other ways, he could get more food.
If he did not eat anything else and only ate shellfish, he could not make up for the calories he consumed in diving.
Carnivores like tigers and lions would try to use their physical strength reasonably.
If they could not catch prey several times in a row, they would starve to death.
The natives loved to eat seafood, but more often than not, they went to the river to fish.
They needed to survive. The harvest in the sea was not as good as that in the river.
They also had to raise animals and farm.
The harvested food was piled up. If there was a big fire and the food was burned, the whole tribe was almost finished.
According to the information Li Yi checked, the large tribe here could be said to be a civilization.
After research, it had developed to a scale of more than 100,000 people, but it seemed to have disappeared because of a man-made fire.
The man-made fire burned the house and food together. It was a sneak attack and an internal rebellion.
Or it was set on fire while fighting. As there was no more evidence, it was impossible to determine the specific situation.
A net of shellfish was caught. There were fish, prawns, and crabs. There was also no lack of seaweed.
The Winged Knights collected the seaweed. There were also chickens and pigs on the boat to feed them.
They ate well and ate seafood every day. As long as the pigs were given food, they would gain weight. The chickens laid more eggs and did not lack calcium.
Two nets were enough. There were only more than 500 people in this tribe. Two nets were enough for everyone to eat at least three meals.
Obviously, he couldn't finish them all in one go. He needed to dry them out before continuing to eat them.
When the yacht returned to the shore, Li Yi showed an animation of everyone eating, drinking, and dancing around a bonfire on his tablet.
The leader immediately understood what he meant. Alright, let's eat together.
When they were back on dry land, the corn was still roasted, and the corn was ready.
The boiled corn is boiled with the outer skin, one layer of skin, and the other layers are peeled off.
"There are two ways to deal with it. One is to peel off the outer corn husk and use it as a plate. It's hot, so it's the same for roasting it."
Li Yi said as he operated. Using the corn skin as a cushion, he reached out and grabbed a piece of corn from the water. He quickly connected it with another skin. It was so hot.
After tossing it around a few times and not grabbing it with all his might, it wasn't so hot anymore.
"Hold it and chew on it slowly. You can't chew on it now. If it burns your teeth, it will cause too much damage to your tooth nerves," Li Yi said as he handed the corn to Taohong.
Taohong didn't eat it at all. She held it carefully because she was afraid that it would be hot.
"The second way is our eating tool, chopsticks." Li Yi picked up a pair of chopsticks and picked up a piece of corn from the water.
His other hand grabbed the peeled skin and held it for a while. A chopstick was inserted from the back of the corn. He held it tightly and let go. It was hot.
He pierced the corn with the chopsticks. Chopsticks were so useful.
"Take it." Li Yi handed the chopsticks to Princess Yongmu.
He continued to use the skin to break the corn from the middle and inserted another chopstick.
"Insert half of the corn. It's easy to chew. You can also rub the kernels down with your hands. This one won't do. It's too tender." Li Yi shook his hot hand and said to Princess Yongmu.
"Li Lang, why are you so familiar with this?" Princess Yongmu could see that her Li Lang had done this more than once.
"When I was with the chefs, I ate it like this. The tender ones can be cooked with shrimp and some green peas." Li Yi had already thought of the dishes.
Princess Yongmu looked at him and swallowed her saliva, but she was not in a hurry to eat. "Li Lang, how do you roast it? Do you roast it over an open fire? "
"Open fire won't do. Open fire is called roasting. You have to use charcoal fire to distinguish between cooked roasting and raw roasting.
Cooked roasting means roasting on the fire and brushing with sauce. If you don't like to eat sauce, you can roast it until it's a little hard.
Raw roasting means that you have to roast it with the outer skin first. Otherwise, the more you roast it, the less moisture there will be. If you keep brushing with oil and sauce, you won't be able to chew it in the end.
Another type of roasting is stewing. It's placed in the stove pit. I have a small invention. You can make a clay stove with many holes and stick it in to roast it. "
Li Yi was familiar with all of them. Roasting corn was not difficult for him.
As he spoke, he suddenly laughed out loud. He remembered a situation in the past.
Some people ate roasted corn by stringing the kernels with iron wires. Ten to twenty kernels were counted as a string.
Then, such people went to the northeast. The northeast also had roasted corn.
They ordered ten or twenty strings at once. The waiter was surprised and confirmed that they really wanted that much. They expressed their affirmation.
When the corn was served, they were dumbfounded. A string was an entire corn. Ten or twenty strings. Were they sure they were not for livestock?
After laughing a few times, Li Yi said to the baffled Princess Yongmu, "Although we want seeds, when we go back and plant the first batch, we can sell some when we plant the second batch."
"Sell it for a high price like chili?" Princess Yongmu blinked her big eyes.
"Yes, roasted skewers. Two kernels per skewer. Ten dollars. Is that enough?" Li Yi asked.
"Let's plant it. Isn't one kernel a seedling? Money can be earned at any time. "
Princess Yongmu shook her head. She had learned not to care about money.
Li Yi was slightly stunned. "Okay, plant it. We'll listen to you. After planting the second batch and the third batch, we'll plant the seedlings in advance.
When other people's seedlings have not been filled, we'll plant our seedlings first and sell them once to make more money.
We'll sell them at Wentian Orchid Pavilion. We'll make an appointment in advance. When we have more money, we can support the border. The war in the Tang dynasty still needs to be fought. "
"Okay!" Princess Yongmu was happy. She was happy because of the words "listen to you."
She also wanted to participate in family matters and help.
Many men in the Tang dynasty did not listen to their wives at all. Their wives did not even have the right to speak.
Li Lang was not like that. Sometimes, he would discuss it with them.
The leader of the natives did not have time to care about other people's family matters. He ordered his men to bring firewood over. At the same time, he dealt with fish, prawns, shellfish, and crabs.
They actually did not eat crabs. There was little meat.
Li Yi's team ate it. He taught the natives how to pick the prawn strings and clean the crabs. The big crabs were steamed instead of roasted.
The natives realized that the black prawns needed to be picked out.
The Winged Knights also taught the natives to take out the fish bladders separately. Fish intestines and other things could be eaten, but they did not. They communicated with the natives and cooked them to feed the pigs.
After a busy day, they did not eat lunch. The sky gradually darkened and the bonfire rose.
