travel to primitive tribes

Chapter 130
"You guys go back first, I'll discuss it with the witch doctor." The patriarch waved his hand and made a decision.

It is no surprise that the patriarch has to consult the witch doctor for some important matters. Although Liu Shu is worried about whether her suggestion will be adopted, of course, if the patriarch is unwilling, she will build her hut herself. If everyone agrees, everyone You can live in a good house, why not do it.

There should be no news for two or three days after going back, and Liu Shu didn't care, and asked Awell to carry her to the back mountain to have a look. Last time Laura picked up a lot of eggs there, I don't know if it was the so-called geese. But it didn't stop her from going to see it.

The back mountain is just behind the mountain wall, and there are rocks everywhere. Liu Shu squinted his eyes with joy when he saw it, and he could build a house without worrying about rocks. After flying some distance, he arrived at the place Laura mentioned. Big river, the river is very wide, and more importantly, there are lush reeds growing in half of the river.

"So that's how it is." Liu Shu was stunned, no wonder Laura would pick up a lot of eggs here, isn't the reed marsh the favorite place for pheasants, wild ducks, swans and wild geese to hang out, it's not surprising that there are eggs, it's just an eye-catcher When I saw it, there was a movement in the reeds, and then a bunch of big brown birds fluttered out of the reeds, all the way up to the blue sky, making rough calls one after another.

"There are a lot of birds here, Xiao Shu, let me catch a few of them and take them home." After putting Liu Shu down, Aweier said while supporting her.

"Yeah, okay, it's a pity, I didn't bring a basket, so it's better to pick up some eggs and go back." The main purpose of coming to Houshan is to look at the stones, and I didn't expect that there would be unexpected surprises. The reeds are so kind.

Aweier's movements are very sloppy, find a clean and non-dangerous place and let Liu Shu wait for him, and get into the reeds by himself, Liu Shu stays bored and looks at those reeds, but he is thinking about seven things in his heart Eighth, she has always wanted a mat. She has a kang bed but no mat. No matter how she sleeps, she feels so dirty. Unfortunately, she has never found bamboo, but now there are reeds. The mat made of reeds is softer and easier to use. See Looking at these small reeds, Liu Shu silently hoped that they would grow up a bit more.

"Cattails." Looking at it, Liu Shu found another thing, and immediately walked over excitedly.

Cattails, aquatic plants, grow in the shape of a candle, and are mostly brown in color. When I was young, I had them by the river pond at home. At that time, Liu Shu liked to pick these things the most, because they were very fragrant, and she liked to smell them. , and she also has a bad taste, which is to pinch a crescent-like nail print on the foam-like cattails.

Of course, these are not important now. Cattail is a good thing, because its main function is the raw material for artificial cotton and papermaking in modern terms.

Even if she knows the principle of making paper, she doesn't have the time to do it now. Anyway, this is not a civilized society, and it's not a day or two. It doesn't matter if the paper doesn't come out. What she values ​​is the rayon.

When she was a child, she had a pillow filled with dried cattails, which were made by her grandmother. There were so many mosquitoes at that time, and the mosquito coils at home were not always available, and cattails are also a kind of spice. If it is dried and burned, it will be good for fumigation of mosquitoes, and if it is made into a pillow, it will also have a good effect on sleeping. At that age, what surrounds the memory is the faint smell of cattails.

The cattails here are much larger than those on the earth, several times, thick and long, every time she sees them, she can think of sausages, and then she really wants to take a bite, but of course she can’t now, touching these little cattails Thing, she smiled happily, the only pity is that the cattails are not mature yet, picking them now is not good, forget it, let’s continue to wait, but seeing the plants occupying a lot of area, I think I can definitely come when it matures A bumper harvest.

At this moment, Aweier had already got out of the reeds. When he came out, he saw that the figure of the female had long since disappeared. It opens its mouth when it sees the prey in its hands.

"Xiao Shu, look, we have eaten well today." Aweir shouted loudly, Liu Shu looked over, apologetic, she ran away, must have made him anxious again, hurriedly went up and said: "I'm sorry Aweir, I forget good things when I see them." Liu Shu still admits what she did wrong.

"It's okay, it's okay." He didn't have the idea of ​​blaming the female, and besides, he couldn't bear it: "I'll see something good next time, wait for me, I want to see it too."

Knowing the kindness of the orc, Liu Shu pursed her lips and nodded with a smile: "Got it, hey, what is this?"

Aweir carried two big birds in each of his left and right hands. Liu Shu looked like he had never seen them before, neither like wild geese nor wild ducks: "Could it be the kind of bird that migrates from time to time." I remember Laura said.

"Yes." Aville nodded, "This bird likes to stay here the most, but in winter, there are no eggs left, and we didn't know that the eggs could still be eaten like this." Think about it every year I was hungry in winter, but I ignored the food in front of me.

Stupid, wouldn't it be even more stupid if we stayed in winter, shook his head and laughed: "Okay, let's eat them when we go back today."

"Just now you said you saw something good, what is it?" Awell found two vines to tie the dead bird together, so that he could take it with him when he flew.

"Here, it's that one, cattail... oh, you don't even know the name, you can call it cattail grass, and it has great effects, um, by the way, it is also a kind of wild vegetable, which can be eaten or used as medicine , and tell the witch doctor when you get back.” There are many names for cattails, and cattail grass is also a kind. There are also people who call it water candle, probably because it looks like a candle.

"It's really good." Awell doesn't understand these things, but he knows that Xiao Shu understands as long as he does.

"Well, it's better yet, let's go, let's go back, and when it matures, it will surprise you." He winked at Avel as he spoke, the orc's heart was itching to see the sly look, and he could only smirk nod.

After returning home, Liu Shu thought about what to do with these big birds. Looking at the fat meat, she wanted to stew one and try it, so she did so. The four big birds passed by the tribal river on their way back The hairs were plucked and disembowelled, and the intestines were not wasted. These groceries actually taste good, so they can't just be thrown away.

As soon as Liu Shu came back, he added fire to the stone pot and prepared to stew the soup. In fact, it was not time for the meal yet, but the soup had to be stewed for a long time so that the flavor could enter. This time was just right, and there were more ingredients for cooking. , the seasonings have also increased, Liu Shu has indeed benefited a lot from the collection during this period, she feels that she is like a hamster, searching and scouring, and finding a lot of good things, some time ago not only I found ginger, as well as star anise, cloves, and pepper. This is all for ginger, and the rest are takeaways, but she is overjoyed to have these. If there are longan and fennel, she can make one The five-spice came out, sucking, I really want to eat five-spice tea eggs.
