Chapter 183 Rice

After the rice was dried, they took off the husks and cooked a large pot of rice. They also invited the Stone Tribe people to eat together. They immediately liked the sweet taste of the rice in their mouths. They quickly took a few mouthfuls and mixed it with the rice. I served some food with a satisfied look on my face.

Even the people of the Stone Tribe were impressed by the taste. They had lived there for so long without knowing that this food was so delicious. It was really a waste of good food.

No wonder Xiao Yan and the others would go all the way to bring these things back, and they said they were for cattle. If it were them, they would hide them and not tell others what they do. After all, who wouldn’t want to? Your tribe can save more food.

"Witch doctor, when will you eat it for the second time?" They like to eat this rice more than noodles. It would be great if they could eat it every day in the future.

"The rest should be used for planting, and you can eat it whenever you plant it." The witch doctor said lightly. Others were a little disappointed, but their mood soon recovered. They believed that the goddess would be able to lead them to plant rice. Come out and let them eat white rice every day.

The people of the Stone Tribe were enjoying their meal, but after hearing what the witch doctor said, they stopped what they were doing. Although they also liked it, they couldn't give up their face for a little food. The White Tiger Tribe took them in. , and also helped them a lot. They can't be so pushy, and they are really not polite to them at all.

"Eat, don't sit still." The witch doctor greeted them with a smile, "It's not a good dish, so you just have to make do with it."

The wizard from the Stone Tribe said quickly, "No, no, this is already very good." After a pause, "You have taken good care of us. We can no longer shamelessly eat your meager food."

The witch doctor understood instantly, "This book is just for entertaining you, and I heard them say that you helped them a lot when you came back, so you don't need to be polite to us."

The witch wanted to say something else, but the witch doctor stopped her from continuing, "It was originally cooked according to the number of people. If you don't eat it, it will be wasted."

"Yeah, don't be polite." Others also said.

"We witch doctors are not polite to you, and even without you, we will probably eat it once to taste it, and keep the rest as seeds." He smiled again, "If you miss this time, it will be difficult to eat it in the future. "

Wu wanted to say something else, but Ayang held her back and said, "Then we won't be polite."

She knew that they were not the kind of people who were pretending to be polite. Since she couldn't shirk it, she would accept it and repay them later.

Shen Xiaoxiao also took off some rice to cook, fried some beans, and cooked some egg soup. "Come for dinner." Shen Xiaoxiao called Xiao Yan, who was still literate.

Ever since he knew that she was teaching literacy to the tribesmen, he offered to let her teach him. Shen Xiaoxiao naturally agreed, and he also studied very seriously. He would write and draw with a wooden stick when he had nothing to do.

"How is it? Is it delicious?" Shen Xiaoxiao stared at him with a smile in her eyes.

Xiao Yan nodded, "It has a different taste compared to wheat. If it is eaten with vegetables, rice would be more suitable." He also likes to eat it.

"If you like it, eat more and wait until next year to see if you can grow it." She is not sure whether this place is suitable for growing rice. After all, wheat grows well here. She knows that both rice and wheat can be grown in some places. But I don’t know if it’s possible here.

"Yeah, you too."

The next time they spent was to collect firewood and food needed for the winter, and the Stone Tribe also quickly stored the things they needed for the winter with the help of the White Tiger Tribe. The main reason was that the White Tiger Tribe had grown a lot of things now, and what they needed The number of wild fruits was reduced, otherwise the Stone Tribe would not have been able to collect enough food so quickly.

The weather is getting colder, and winter has quietly arrived amidst people's busy work, but they have stored enough food, so they don't have to worry about anything. They still live their lives as usual, but most of the time they stay in their rooms to keep warm.

They didn't know the function of the kang before, but they didn't know how good it was until winter. They heated the kang at night, and their bodies were still warm when they got up the next day. They used to live in caves. At that time, even though they were covered with animal skins, their hands and feet were cold. Never before, their hands and feet were warm like now.

Now they don't feel cold even if they are covered with thinner animal skins at night. Instead, they feel hot. Some of them are a little angry and even sweat.

Especially the quilts they made of cotton made them feel warmer. Although they couldn't cover them every day, they really liked it. There were more people and fewer quilts, so the witch doctor asked them to take turns covering them, trying to make sure everyone could cover them. Quilt.

They could have some free time, and Shen Xiaoxiao was busy. The weather was getting colder. Although the cotton was planted in the cave, the temperature was also low. In order not to freeze them to death, Shen Xiaoxiao lit charcoal for them, and was afraid that the smoke from the charcoal fire would kill them. The nearby cotton was smoked to death, so she lit a few charcoal pots, put a little charcoal in them, and let them burn slowly, with a leaky lid on them.

What she has to do every day is add charcoal to the charcoal basin and fight insects...

That day, after adding charcoal to the charcoal basin, she heard some noise outside and walked out curiously, "Where are you going?"

"Goddess, let's dig bamboo shoots. Do you want to come with us?" Ye said excitedly. The others also stared at her intensely. Shen Xiaoxiao was in a daze, and then she remembered that digging winter bamboo shoots was really suitable now. She smiled and said, "You go ahead, I won't go." Nothing is more important than taking good care of the cotton.

There is nothing here, she can only rely on her own feeling, too hot or too cold is not good, she is worried about leaving, so she will keep an eye on it. She has been busy for so long, and she doesn't want to do useless work in the end. As for bamboo shoots, it doesn't matter whether you eat them or not. If you really want to eat them, it's not too late to dig them in spring.

"Then let's go."

"Go, be careful."

"Okay."

"Ayang, let's go." Ye went to call Ayang and the others. Now they can communicate with each other, and Lin Yun doesn't need to act as a mouthpiece in the middle. However, this is also the result of Ayang's hard work. Although others can do it, they are not as smooth as her. Most of the time, they still gesture and guess.

"I'm here." Ayang said excitedly. She was really curious about what they said about digging bamboo shoots. What on earth would they go out now? They rarely go out in winter, let alone so many people go out.

The White Tiger Tribe is really different from them. Of course, the people are also very good. They have taken good care of them during this period.

Ayang led the other people from the Stone Tribe to leave with them. The baskets they were using were exchanged with the White Tiger Tribe. The witch doctor was reluctant at first, but was persuaded and had to exchange a few for them, but he didn't ask them for much.

Although Ayang didn't know how this thing was made, she could see that it took a lot of time. She didn't want to let the White Tiger Tribe suffer, but the witch doctor said that if she didn't want to, then he wouldn't exchange it for them. She had no choice but to agree. Usually, they would help the White Tiger Tribe with work.
