He couldn't live like this anymore!
That day, the hunting team brought back a lot of edible plants and fruits as usual. Xiong Ye picked some delicious and good-looking ones and brought them back to the cave for Zhou Ji to eat. Recently, the people in the tribe were tired of eating fruits. No one cared about these things, so Xiong He simply put them aside and let everyone eat them.
Xiong Ye entered the cave listlessly. When he saw Zhou Ji, he became a little happier. "Zhou Ji, I brought some fruits back. Have a taste."
Zhou Ji took the fruit and ate it. He asked, "You didn't bring back enough meat today?"
Xiong Ye nodded gloomily. "I haven't eaten meat for a long time!"
Zhou Ji was speechless. Actually, Xiong Ye could eat some meat every day, but he didn't eat much …
But he had been very busy recently, and he had been cultivating. He needed a lot of energy, so it was normal to be hungry.
"It would be great if there were some dinosaurs!" Xiong Ye said again.
Seeing him like this, Zhou Ji felt a little guilty.
If it weren't for him, Xiong Ye wouldn't have had no meat to eat …
"Zhou Ji, I'm going out for a while to see if I can catch anything by the river." Xiong Ye said. He quickly ran out of the cave and went to the river.
Seeing that he had left, Zhou Ji took out a handful of barley to speed up the growth, and then looked at the wheat in his hand thoughtfully.
When Xiong Ye went to the river, he passed by the place used by the tribe for farming.
Both the native eggs and barley could be grown in three months. At this moment, the second batch of native eggs had already grown verdant and lush. In a little more than a month, they could be harvested. The barley had also sprouted, but it would take more than two months for it to grow.
Xiong Ye used to like to eat native eggs, but now … he had no interest in native eggs.
He wanted to eat meat, a lot of meat.
After living a good life, he couldn't stand the hard life anymore. Before he joined the hunting team, he didn't eat very well. At that time, he was already very happy when he could eat his fill, but now … he actually felt unhappy when he didn't eat well!
Xiong Ye felt that he shouldn't, but he couldn't help but swallow his saliva at the chubby little dinosaurs that were kept behind the fence.
He didn't know when these dinosaurs would grow up …
Xiong Ye felt a little uncomfortable because he didn't have meat to eat, but when he reached the river, he became energetic.
However, he didn't know if it was because he fished too much, but he couldn't catch any fish today!
In the end, Xiong Ye stayed in the river for a long time. He had no choice but to dive to the bottom of the river and touch a few mussels.
This kind of thing could also be eaten, but the people in the tribe didn't like it. Usually, a big river clam would be roasted into a small piece of meat, and it was hard to chew.
In addition, this thing was not easy to find … Previously, Xiong Ye had brought a lot of food for Zhou Ji, but he had never brought this.
Carrying a few mussels, Xiong Ye returned to the tribe.
The tribe had already started cooking dinner. As usual, it was boiled eggs, vegetables, and small pieces of meat.
When Xiong Ye smelled it, he felt hungry, but at the same time, he didn't want to eat it.
Before the meal was ready, Xiong Ye brought the clam back to the cave.
"Zhou Ji, this is a clam. Have you eaten it before? Do you want to eat? "Xiong Ye asked.
Zhou Ji looked at the clam with interest.
He had eaten a clam before. Although it wasn't very delicious, at least it didn't have any taste …
However, the mussel was still alive.
Zhou Ji said, "Help me kill it."
"Just throw this clam into the fire and roast it!" Xiong Ye said. How was he to kill this thing? Didn't he just throw it into the fire? After a while, its shell would open by itself, and after a while, the meat inside would be cooked?
"I don't like to eat roasted ones. Kill it and take out the meat inside," Zhou Ji said.
Xiong Ye didn't expect a clam to be eaten in this way. He was a little surprised. Then, he took out a stone and smashed the clam's shell.
Zhou Ji: "…"
Although Xiong Ye's method of killing the clam was a little simple and crude, it was very fast. In a short while, he took out the meat from the shell, washed it, and placed it in a bowl at the side.
Zhou Ji took a look, then took out a stone and gave it to Xiong Ye. "Help me polish the middle of this stone to make it smoother."
This stone was round. The sides were a little higher, and the middle was a little lower. It looked like a round plate.
Xiong Ye used another stone to polish it. As he did so, he asked, "Zhou Ji, what are you polishing this for?"
"To make a pot," Zhou Ji said.
"Isn't this pot a little too shallow?" Xiong Ye didn't understand. Such a flat pot couldn't hold anything at all.
"A shallow pot has its advantages," Zhou Ji said as he began to process the clam meat.
The clam meat was cut into small pieces and smashed with a stone a few times to make it more cooked. Then, he stir-fried it with oil and added water to make a clam soup.
Actually, stir-fried clams were also delicious, but stir-fried clams had better seasonings like chili, onion, and garlic. If only salt was used to stir-fry it, the taste would definitely not be good.
The clam soup smelled especially fragrant, and Xiong Ye, who was polishing the pot, became even hungrier …
Fortunately, the soup was done very quickly.
Zhou Ji ate the soup together with the soil egg. As for Xiong Ye, he only drank the soup.
The clam didn't have much meat. Xiong Ye gulped down a big bowl, and he became even hungrier …
"Time to eat!" Xiong He's voice, which the people in the tribe liked the most, sounded.
Xiong Ye left Zhou Ji and immediately rushed out.
Although he had been eating grass every day recently, eating was also a joyful thing!
When Xiong Ye came back after eating, Zhou Ji asked him to continue polishing the flat stone pot. As for himself, he used a stone bowl and a stone stick to beat some barley.
After the barley was harvested, the other people in the tribe didn't get any, but he took some … Of course, he had already finished the barley. What he was working on now was the barley that he had just sprouted.
"Zhou Ji, what are you doing?" Xiong Ye looked at Zhou Ji in confusion — Zhou Ji had actually smashed the barley into pieces!
The barley was originally very small, and now it was smashed into powder … How was he going to eat it?
"I'm making barley flour. I'll make something delicious for you tomorrow," Zhou Ji said.
A few days ago, because of Yang Ying, he had a problem with Xiong Ye. He was not very happy, so he gave Xiong Ye a little trouble. But these days, seeing Xiong Ye busy around him, that little bit of anger had long disappeared. Seeing that Xiong Ye ate the food cooked in the tribe's big pot every day and felt uncomfortable, he thought of some food to make for him.
For example, barley cake.
Barley was not suitable to make bread, but it was very suitable to make pancakes. The pancakes made were also very delicious.
Of course, to make pancakes, he needed a frying pan and barley flour.
When Xiong Ye heard that Zhou Ji was going to make something delicious for him, he immediately became happy.
Recently, on one hand, he couldn't catch any prey. On the other hand, Zhou Ji was not feeling well. Zhou Ji hadn't made anything delicious for a long time. Today's clam soup was really rare!
As for the barley cake tomorrow … Xiong Ye immediately looked forward to it.
The next day, Xiong Ye still didn't catch any prey.
But he was in a good mood. He even went to find Xiong He according to Zhou Ji's instructions. He said that he didn't want to eat dinner, but wanted a piece of bacon.
"You and Zhou Ji, I can give you two and a half kilograms of meat." Xiong He gave a piece of meat to Xiong Ye.
"Thank you, chief!" Xiong Ye took the meat back to the cave excitedly. Then, he saw Zhou Ji adding water to the barley flour.
The barley looked yellow, but after it was ground into powder, it turned white. Now, after adding water and kneading, it became a white ball.
Xiong Ye looked at Zhou Ji fiddling with the white ball and felt a little tempted. He also wanted to knead it …
Just as he was thinking about this, he saw Zhou Ji let go of his hand and said, "You knead it."
Kneading the dough would be left to Xiong Ye. He was going to start making the stuffing … Zhou Ji took out the pickled vegetables that the salt exchange team had made. He used a stone knife to mince the bacon and pickled vegetables. Finally, he stir-fried the pickled vegetables and bacon together.
This bacon was the meat of a centipede. It didn't smell like dinosaur meat, but only had the fragrance of bacon. After stir-frying it with pickled vegetables, it became even more fragrant.
Xiong Ye kneaded the dough vigorously, but when he smelled the fragrance, he immediately looked over. His eyes lit up. "It smells so good!"
Zhou Ji ignored him and pulled a piece of dough over. Then, he wrapped some stuffing in it before flattening it and placing it at the side.
"This is a barley cake?" Xiong Ye picked up the cake and looked at it curiously.
Zhou Ji said, "Yes." He actually didn't have any experience in making cakes, but Xiong Ye had been eating vegetable and egg chowder every day. He reckoned that he would like it even if it tasted terrible.
His culinary skills were actually very poor, but with the help of the primitive people in the tribe, he became a master chef in minutes.
"This cake is quite cute." Xiong Ye turned it over and over. After looking at it for a while, he took a bite. "It's very delicious! The stuffing inside is especially delicious, but the barley outside isn't very tasty. "
Zhou Ji, who didn't pay attention and didn't stop Xiong Ye from "eating": "…"
The stuffing had already been stir-fried, so eating the cake raw wouldn't actually go bad. But even so, Zhou Ji still snatched the cake from Xiong Ye's hands. "This cake isn't done yet!"
Xiong Ye: "What's not done yet?" It was already done very well! It looked so cute!
Zhou Ji placed the cake in the "frying pan" with oil. "It's not cooked yet."
Xiong Ye: "…"
Xiong Ye didn't even think of cooking it.
No, it wasn't cooking either … Zhou Ji placed some oil in the pan and placed the cake on it … Then, a fragrance wafted out!
It was really, really fragrant!
Xiong Ye couldn't help but swallow his saliva. His eyes were fixed on the cake, unable to move away.
The cake that Xiong Ye took a bite of was cooked very quickly. Zhou Ji gave it to him. "Eat it."
Xiong Ye didn't care about how hot it was. He took a big bite, and then his eyes lit up.
This flatbread was simply too delicious!
It was very delicious when it was raw, but when it was cooked … the surface was slightly crispy because it had been fried. The not crispy cake was very chewy, and the taste of the stuffing inside was just right.
The taste of the cake mixed with the taste of the stuffing. It was simply too delicious!
Xiong Ye finished it in two or three bites and eagerly waited for the next one.
He ate every one that Zhou Ji made. In the following period of time, he ate twenty of them in one go.
During this period, he also wanted to give some to Zhou Ji, but Zhou Ji didn't want to eat stuffing … Instead, he made a cake without stuffing and ate it slowly.
It was quite troublesome to make cakes, so Zhou Ji simply made a little more at one time. He made a total of forty cakes with stuffing. He gave twenty to Xiong Ye and planned to save the remaining twenty for Xiong Ye to eat tomorrow morning.
"Can I eat two tonight?" Xiong Ye asked.
"Of course. Those with stuffing are all yours," Zhou Ji said. Xiong Ye trained every night. If he was hungry, he could eat it!
Zhou Ji thought that Xiong Ye asked this because he wanted to eat it. He didn't expect that one night, when he was about to bring Xiong Ye to cultivate, Xiong Ye would take out two cakes for him.
"Sir, this is the cake made by my partner. It's especially delicious. Try it," Xiong Ye said.
Zhou Ji: "… No need."
Xiong Ye held the cake in his mouth with some disappointment. Then, he transformed into his beast form and let Zhou Ji carry it.
If this person didn't want to eat it, he could only eat it himself … It was really delicious!
Xiong Ye was very good at sharing. The next day, he ate twelve of the remaining eighteen cakes. He gave the other six to the priest, Xiong Qi, Xiong Bai, Xiong Mao, Niu Er, and the others. He gave each of them half a cake.
When Zhou Ji woke up in the morning, he fried the cakes again with oil. When he gave them out, the cakes were still warm, fragrant, and delicious.
As the priest ate, he lost a tooth.
But he didn't care. Instead, he looked at Xiong Ye. "Brat, I taught you so many things, but you only gave me half a cake to eat. Is that right?"
The priest's words were already a bit leaky. This time, it was even more leaky.
Xiong Ye: "Grandpa Priest …"
"Is there any more?" the priest asked again.
"No more."
"Then can you make some more?" The priest asked again. This flatbread was really delicious!
"There's no more barley. I can't make more," Xiong Ye said again. He saw that Zhou Ji had used up all of his barley.
"This is made from barley?" The priest looked at Xiong Ye in surprise.
Xiong Ye nodded. Then, he saw the priest quickly walk out. "I'm going to take care of the barley!"
Xiong Ye suddenly wanted to take care of the barley!
It was strange. There was actually very little meat in the cake, but eating it was very satisfying, very satisfying!
Xiong Ye even had the energy to work!
However, such good days only lasted for one day.
That night, he had to eat a hodgepodge again.
At first, except for Xiong Ye and a few others, everyone accepted the hodgepodge. But now … many people began to crave meat!
However, Xiong He was worried that there wouldn't be enough food in the future, so he couldn't bear to take out the smoked meat for everyone to eat.
Since they couldn't eat large pieces of meat, the young people in the tribe could only look at the little dinosaurs they raised every day and drool.
Xiong Ye had to cultivate at night, hunt during the day, and occasionally learn mathematics with Zhou Ji when he was free. He even dreamed of eating meat.
