Chu Qi followed Hua Tao's movements and glanced at the big fish on the pile of rocks. Some time ago, she had tried to catch fish for food.
But it was in vain. She jumped into the water and tried for a long time, but she didn't catch any fish, not even a single scale. After persisting for another half an hour, she finally gave up.
It turns out she has no talent for fishing.
As for tigers, they just need to prey on animals on the ground, she comforted herself.
Someone couldn't catch the fish and thought that others couldn't catch the fish either. Suddenly, he saw the fish and was startled:
"Wow, Huatao, you can catch fish!"
After that, she got down to business: "My wife has severe morning sickness and can't even enjoy her meals. Do you have any suggestions for relief?"
Hua Tao took the grass carp back into her arms without haste and replied, "I didn't catch this, Yue caught it... I can't do anything about morning sickness, but I can cook it. Eating cooked food can help relieve the symptoms."
"What is cooked food?"
Chu Qi conscientiously played the role of a native and asked curiously. In fact, she was very happy inside, cooked food!
Is the cooked food she has been longing for finally here?
Cooked food not only represents the derivation of raw food, but also the birth of delicious food!
Although eating it raw is delicious to the tiger's taste buds, the taste is ultimately too monotonous.
But it’s not necessarily the case when it’s cooked. Frying, steaming, stir-frying or grilling, any of them will taste delicious and make you drool.
"Well... it means the opposite of eating it raw or directly."
Hua Tao tried her best to explain in a way that the natives could understand. Seeing the two tigers looking at her with shining eyes, she pursed her lips and smiled, raising the oversized grass carp in her hand:
"How about this, while it's still early, let's quickly go pick up some dry combustibles to light a fire and fry some fish!"
Tigers still understand dry combustible materials.
Since ancient times, animals have been afraid of fire, and orcs are no exception. Whenever there is thunder and rain, large trees are occasionally struck by lightning. Often the trees will begin to burn under the scorching temperature of lightning, and the raging fire will instantly devour all combustible objects around them.
Fortunately, it rained heavily every time, and the raging fire would not burn for long. The heavy rain would extinguish the fire and prevent the spread of the fire.
Yue felt strange when she thought about having to "create" fire herself.
But she adhered to the principle that what the witch said was right, so she didn't say much, transformed into a beast, and quickly rushed into the forest where there were piles of trees, picking up dry combustible materials.
Chu Qi was not idle either. He rushed into the forest next to where his mother was and began to pick up the trash.
Hua Tao was picking stones of suitable shapes on the shore, which were used to build a frame to support the flat stones.
She squatted by the river and cleaned the stones, then placed them on the rack. The unconscious grass carp lay limply on the ground.
She picked up the grass carp, went to the river, and used a sharp stone to cut a hole in the grass carp's soft belly. She pulled out the intestines and internal organs and threw them into the river. Finally, she broke out the gills that the fish used for breathing and threw them away.
Then she caught the fish and scraped its scales with a stone.
The sunlight was slightly offset compared to noon, and her shadow became much longer.
In the deeper parts of the stream, a lot of black unidentified objects slowly emerged and quickly approached the place where Huatao threw the fish entrails and other things.
Dozens of colorful fish swam over, scrambling to grab the fish entrails in the water.
Hua Tao found it interesting, so she casually stirred the water surface, causing ripples to spread out. The fish in the water were frightened and fled away in all directions, and soon there was nothing left at the spot.
Perhaps fishing is also a way to kill time.
Hua Tao thought so as she finished processing the grass carp. She slowly stood up, went back to the flat stone and put the fish on it.
Not long after, Yue came back with a large pile of firewood and a lot of dry flocs.
Hua Tao used a flint to light the flocs and carefully placed them into the pile of firewood. With a bang, the firewood pile burst into flames. Her eyes lit up, and for the first time she felt that flames could be so beautiful.
Yue was startled and leaned back subconsciously, but she also did not forget to stop Hua Tao with her hands——
This is a typical protective action.
Hua Tao felt warm in her heart and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, if you don't touch the fire, the fire won't bite you."
Yue was a little embarrassed, nodded and said, "Well, be careful, this, it will be ugly if the hair is burned."
Hua Tao wanted to say that she had no hair, but after thinking about her hair, she didn't refute.
Chu Qi came back late, about half an hour later.
At that time, the grass carp had been fried with peach blossoms until its skin was crispy and fragrant.
The grass carp was half a meter long, and it was difficult to put it all on the flat stone. Halfway through frying, Yue used her sharp claws to cut the fish in half.
Hua Tao kept the flame low and prepared to fry the fish slowly. She sprinkled the fish with crushed ginger.
It is worth mentioning that there is a brackish salt lake in this forest, which comes in handy at this time.
Hua Tao originally came to the clan leader's family for cooking, so she naturally brought salt with her. She sprinkled the salt on the fish. When the fish was half cooked, an overbearing fragrance wafted into the air, making Hua Tao drool.
It can be said that in the more than ten days since Hua Tao came to the tiger tribe, in addition to helping the tigers treat internal or external injuries, she has spent almost all of her time exploring what edible things there are in this area.
Because the area is so large, she explores it slowly.
Before, Hua Tao was not very happy in the snake tribe, which liked cool and humid places. Fortunately, the king of the snake tribe allowed her to sleep in the only house built, otherwise she would not be able to sleep peacefully.
