Chapter 87 A new look (2)

"If you want to eat it, just eat it! Just scoop up a piece and eat it raw! Anyway, before your brother Xu Que came, we all ate it raw! I think it doesn't matter if it's raw or cooked this time! What do you say!" Hua handed two half-meter-long branches to Hou, letting Hou use them to scoop out the meat for her!

While waiting for the pork to cook, Hou grabbed a piece for himself and Xu Que, and took the bowl to the open space next to them to eat.

In Hagang and Pingyao, meat is always grabbed directly by hand, without any tools!

Apart from Hagang and Pingyao, the other tribe members used chopsticks made of wood and branches to slowly scoop the meat out of the large iron pot piece by piece!

After finishing their meal, everyone entertained themselves in their own preferred ways.

Two members of the Black Deer tribe, their heads shaved from being yelled at, played rock-paper-scissors while they were bored after a meal. The winner flicked the loser's forehead.

"Hahaha, you lost! I'll flick you to death!"

"Hahaha! It's finally my turn! I'll flick you to death!"

...

Not far from the tribe, in an open space, a group of tribesmen who had eaten their fill gathered together to play cockfighting.

Closer by, a group of slightly older members of the tribal community were playing mahjong together.

A group of children were playing a rope game not far away!

There was another group of people seriously jumping rope on the side.

The two primitive children started fighting while playing.

The little girl with pigtails pounced on the little boy with his pigtails sticking up! The little boy didn't fight back, he just kept crying loudly.

When Hou saw this, he quickly ran over and separated them, and gave them his walnut cart to play with!

The children then stopped crying!

Xu Que felt incredibly bored lately, especially after meals.

He opened the system's exchange shop, scrolled down, and in the snacks and non-staple foods section, he used exchange coins to exchange for a whole bunch of snacks, candies, chewing gum, and the like. He then lay down on a haystack not far from the tribe, leisurely and boredly cracking sunflower seeds.

After calming the crying children who had been fighting, she came to Xu Que's side and sat down next to him.

"What are you eating?" Hou's eyes followed Xu Que's finger as it picked up sunflower seeds back and forth on the clean cowhide.

"Sunflower seeds!" Xu Que said, then deliberately spat a mouthful of sunflower seed shells onto Hou's face.

"Is this delicious?" Hou watched Xu Que happily cracking sunflower seeds, and couldn't help but pick one up from his pile and put it in his mouth. He chewed it for a long time but still couldn't separate the kernel from the shell.

"Hahaha! Can't taste it anymore? Just eat it like this! Learn from me!" Xu Que picked up a few more sunflower seeds from the pile, held them upright in his hand, and squeezed them with his other hand to remove the shells, leaving the kernels in his hand.

After peeling many sunflower seeds using this method, Xu Que transferred the pile of kernels to Hou's hand: "Try it and see how it tastes!"

He gulped down all the sunflower seeds in his hand and chewed them: "Mmm! So fragrant! It has a fragrant and oily taste! So delicious! But these are such small seeds, it's not enough, there aren't enough!"

"I suddenly have a question for Brother Xu Que! How do I collect enough sunflower seeds to fill a bowl? I mean, when will my big wooden bowl be able to hold a lot of sunflower seeds?" Hou said, taking out a bowl she used for eating from the backpack Xu Que had given her and placing it in front of them.

Xu Que was stunned for half a minute, and for a moment he didn't know what to say!

"My goodness! I bet even if the two of us shelled sunflower seeds all night, we still couldn't fill a bowl this big! Just shell them one by one slowly!" Xu Que said, then took out two bags of spiced sunflower seeds from the system's inventory and handed them to Hou.

Looking at the two large bags of sunflower seeds, Hou was so anxious that he wanted to hurry up but couldn't, which made people both laugh and cry.

"I'm not eating this stuff anymore! Eating just one is so slow! Humph! Nobody's helping me!" Hou deliberately glanced at Xu Que.

"I really didn't want to peel sunflower seeds these past few days, otherwise I would have peeled them for you already! You know me very well, right? I love you the most, don't I? Since you can't peel them and you're peeling them so slowly, then you can just eat this lollipop! Here! This is more suitable for you!" Xu Que said, taking out a few lollipops from a pile of packages in front of him and handing them to Hou.

"What is this?" Hou asked, pouting in confusion.

"Hey candy! Here, let me open the wrapper for you! You can start eating now! This is meant to be held gently in your mouth! If you don't have the patience to lick it, you can just chew it with your teeth, it's sweet no matter how you eat it!" After tearing off the lollipop's wrapper, Xu Que, worried that Hou hadn't understood, put the lollipop in his mouth, licked it, and then asked Hou, "Did you learn how to do it this way?"

Hou nodded.

Xu Que deliberately and half-jokingly took the lollipop he had been sucking out of his mouth and tried to hand it to Hou to see Hou's reaction.

He didn't react at all, but simply took the lollipop from Xu Que's hand, put it in his mouth, and smacked his lips, looking quite enthusiastic.

"Mmm! It's so sweet! It's so delicious! I've never eaten anything so delicious in my life!" Hou said as she moved from Xu Que's side to his other side, collected all the candies from the package piled up in front of him, put them into the brown leather bag that Xu Que had given her, and zipped it up!

"That was chewing gum! That was bubble gum!"

"As long as they're all candy, that's fine! They're all edible! If they're all edible, it doesn't matter what kind of candy they are!" Hou said, looking at Xu Que.

"Bubble gum is for blowing bubbles! You can't swallow it! We usually don't swallow it, and if you accidentally swallow it, it's not a big problem, just push it out the next day! Chewing gum is similar to bubble gum, except that chewing gum has a stronger flavor. If a couple has bad breath, we suggest chewing some chewing gum before kissing, it can freshen their breath!" Xu Que said to Hao.

"Here, you're pretty much useless with bubble gum and chewing gum, give them to me!" Xu Que said, reaching out to Hou to take back the chewing gum and bubble gum that Hou had put in his bag.

Hou quickly moved his backpack back and covered it tightly with his hands, as if afraid Xu Que would snatch it away.

"No! No! I just won't give it to you! I want to save it for when I kiss you!"
