When it comes to expressing a happy mood, how can we miss such an important element as food?
If there is no delicious food to cheer you up, the joy will be reduced by more than half, which always makes people feel unsatisfied and uncomfortable.
So, after Han Cheng returned, the Qingque tribe, which was as lively as the New Year, was soon filled with the delicious smell of food.
Han Cheng was also in a very good mood.
He hadn't cooked for a long time, but this time he went into the kitchen and cooked the meal himself.
It’s not his specialty, the braised pork.
At this time, except for the old sows and the remaining breeding pigs, the rest of the pigs raised in the tribe were half-grown piglets or even smaller piglets.
There is not much meat on this piglet, and it would be such a pity to slaughter it.
Han Cheng made fried meat with dried bamboo shoots and pickled fish.
The dried bamboo shoots were obtained some time ago when some people from the tribe took a boat to the bamboo forest near the Lu River and searched the bamboo forest there.
Of course, in addition to the large bamboo forest on the other side of the Lu River, the bamboo forest that was too far away from the original Bear Tribe was also not forgotten by the people of the Green Bird Tribe.
There were also people who went there and used hoes to chop off many of the emerging bamboo shoots.
In order to make it easier to carry, peel off the outer skin on the spot and then cut it into slices diagonally with a knife.
After boiling it in a large pot, it is spread out on a clean stone slab to dry in the sun.
The dried bamboo shoots can not only be stored for a long time and taste great, but more importantly, after removing the moisture, they are also very easy to carry.
One person can carry a lot of dried bamboo shoots.
However, peeling bamboo shoots is a very laborious task.
If you peel less, you won’t feel anything, but if you peel too much, your fingers will be so painful that it’s unbearable.
At the beginning, the people in the tribe just used their fingers to force it, but after doing it more often, they gained experience.
Start by using scissors or some small knives to make several cuts on the bamboo shoots from top to bottom, and then start peeling them with your hands.
In this way, not only does it save your hands when peeling, but the efficiency of peeling bamboo shoots is also increased by more than double.
Practice makes perfect and labor can give people wisdom, which is well demonstrated.
The meat was not pork but lamb.
The mutton was not freshly slaughtered. Instead, last year, people from the tribe came to a place not far from the original sheep tribe and intercepted the migrating sheep for hunting.
That would truly be a feast for the people of Qingque!
At that time, not only will a lot of people come out from the main tribe, but people from the Tongshan residential area and the Qinling residential area further away will also come back to participate in this feast with the people from the main tribe!
Under such circumstances, the harvest is inevitable!
It would be impossible to eat all the sheep if we killed so many at once.
All of these mutton will be air-dried, smoked, salted into bacon, and dried into mutton jerky to make it a food that is more durable in storage.
The reason why we don’t eat mutton at this time is because there are many mutton offal, sheep intestines and other things that are difficult to store for a long time and need to be eaten as quickly as possible!
During this period of time, people in the tribe no longer wanted to drink mutton soup!
Even the braised lamb intestines and offal were not very popular later on.
Wu is a person who has experienced hardship and hunger, and he cherishes food very much.
You can eat it as long as you have the ability, but you must never squander it or waste it!
With such a person around, even if some people in the tribe are about to vomit after eating the mutton offal, the tribe will still use mutton offal to cook until the mutton offal obtained from the tribe is eaten up!
"What a sin!"
Every time at this time, Wu, holding a big bowl, couldn't help but say this.
It is really the Son of God who is making your life good now, you are eating too much!
This is meat!
In the past, if you could eat some food like this, and it would fill you up, you would be so happy!
Now, if I ask you to eat this every day, you can’t even eat it!
This is really a sin!
How come these young people are so unable to endure hardship? Why don’t they know the value of food? Why don’t they appreciate what they have?
If you are starved for three days, you will not only be fed with such delicious mutton offal, but you will also pick up and eat even sheep dung eggs!
"What a sin!"
Every time Wu said this, Lame, who was squatting on the side holding a big bowl filled with mutton offal, would also echo the previous sentence with emotion.
Among all the people in the tribe, he suffered the most.
During the period after his leg was injured, he was not living a normal life!
What had he not eaten during that time?
I even ate the slippery raw fish intestines filled with mud and sand!
Now, eating these delicious mutton offal with salt, onion, ginger, pepper and other seasonings in a ceramic bowl is simply the happiest thing in the world!
Why can't I eat this?
After eating a big bowl of this mutton offal soup, you can have another bowl!
"These people, if you let them eat a few meals of raw fish intestines, they will be able to eat it!"
Relying on his own efforts, Lame has become an absolute big boss in the tribe, and said this angrily.
After saying that, he stuffed a large chopstick of mutton offal into his mouth and chewed it vigorously, as if he was using this behavior to prove that the mutton offal soup was particularly delicious, and that the people in the tribe had never experienced hardship and were too pampered!
“Sizzle!”
A harsh sound was heard, and some white fat slipped to the bottom of the pot. As the fire continued to heat it, it soon melted completely into oil.
These fats are sheep fat.
This was also obtained by someone from the tribe last year when they hunted migrating sheep.
It seems that the tribe hunted a lot of sheep last year!
Then you need to ask and see how many sheep are left in the flock.
Not much less than in previous years.
Such a good channel for obtaining food cannot be destroyed due to overhunting.
While thinking this in my mind, the oil in the pot was already heating up.
Han Cheng threw some pepper beans into the pot and fried them with oil.
Then pour in the marinated lamb...
After stir-frying the mutton slices, Han Cheng poured in the washed bamboo shoots and added a little water to stew...
The sauerkraut in the sauerkraut fish was made by the people in the tribe using the cabbages they harvested in late autumn and early winter last year.
After more than ten years of careful selection and cultivation by generations, the cabbages in the tribe are now quite large in size, somewhat larger than the baby cabbages of later generations.
It has become the most important dish in the tribe during winter.
After all, this thing is the most durable to store, and it can be harvested in early winter.
As for the fish used to make sauerkraut, it is fresh fish caught from the pond outside the tribe.
Pickled fish must be fresh fish to be delicious.
Using pickled fish or other fish to make sauerkraut fish is simply a waste of sauerkraut and feelings. People will not want to eat it after a few bites.
Of course, Wu couldn't be made aware of such thoughts.
If the witch knew about this, he would definitely sigh "what a sin" once again.
The fish ponds in the tribe have been developed by now, and almost all the fish in the river can be found in the fish ponds.
Moreover, it is denser than that in the river, and therefore easier to catch.
It can be said that everything is moving in a good direction...
Amid everyone's anticipation, the first meal after Han Cheng's return finally began.
Today is a special situation, so the people in the tribe no longer eat in batches, but eat together.
Not only was there much more sumptuous food on the table than before, but Wu also brought out more than a dozen jars of wine with him and a few other people.
This made some old drunkards in the tribe extremely happy.
It can be seen that Wu was really happy. He usually didn't drink much, but at this time he actually drank two bowls!
A red face full of smiles!
He looks a bit like a child and is happier than during the Chinese New Year.
Then the meal officially began.
When eating, people would reach out their chopsticks for the mutton stewed with bamboo shoots or pickled fish cooked by Han Cheng when they took their first bite of the food.
Even the elders from the Qingque tribe who came back with Han Cheng had not eaten the meals cooked by Han Cheng himself for a long time.
Not to mention those who stayed in the tribe.
Anything produced by the Son of God must be of high quality. This has long been an open secret among the tribe.
This is not only true in other aspects, but also in cooking.
So, when the meal started, the people in the tribe stretched out their chopsticks to the food made by the Son of God himself.
As they took some food, people in the tribe began to feel emotional.
The Son of God is worthy of being the Son of God. The food he makes is still so delicious. It makes people praise it and can’t stop eating it!
The old men of the Qingque tribe are in such a state, let alone those who followed Han Cheng back from the south and have only been members of the Qingque tribe for a short time.
Everyone ate with their eyes wide open, and their eating speed increased unconsciously.
The look he gave Han Cheng was full of respect and admiration.
The witch from their original tribe would never do this.
Not to mention cooking food for herself and others herself, even if she and others carefully prepared food for her and brought it to her, she would often complain that the food was not tasty.
It is true that there is no comparison between people.
It was unknown how much more powerful the Son of God was than the dead priestess, or how much greater his abilities were, but the Son of God had never given anyone the feeling that he was superior.
This person is really the kind of person who is half-full and full of ideas, the more he likes to pretend and the more he likes to be particular.
On the contrary, those who are truly capable usually appear to be extremely approachable, amiable and low-key.
Perhaps, this is the biggest reason why the witch from his original tribe lost to the Son of God...
Han Cheng never thought that just a meal would make these people from the former Red Tiger Tribe think of so many things and elevate it to such a height...
This is true. When a person's status reaches a certain level, some things that are commonplace for ordinary people can be interpreted differently by people of high status...
While eating, Han Cheng kept using his chopsticks to pick up food for Bai Xuemei, Little Pea, and Little Xing'er, as if doing so could alleviate some of the guilt in his heart...
During the meal, Han Cheng talked a lot with people nearby and ate a lot of food.
After eating, Han Cheng walked slowly inside and outside the tribe with Wu and his eldest brother.
Walking and talking at the same time.
What they said were basically some everyday words.
Han Cheng, holding Xiao Xing'er in his arms, learned a lot about what happened during the time he was away from the tribe through conversations between the two.
Not only the main tribe, but also the Tongshan residential area knows a lot.
Han Cheng also told Wu and his senior brother a lot about things in the south.
When I say that, of course I only say the good things.
Han Chengdu did not tell anyone about the difficulties and dangers he encountered.
It is his habit to report good news but not bad news.
In his mind, as a man, he should be stronger.
Even if you are beaten to a pulp and in a mess, you still have to clean yourself up, and then take the things you have worked so hard to get home, without caring at all...
Of course, the prerequisite for doing this is that there is someone in your family who is worthy of you doing this for.
Even so, Wu and his senior brother sometimes couldn't help but be surprised.
Over the years, they have followed Han Cheng and seen a lot of things, and their knowledge and ideas have increased a lot.
Although Han Cheng didn't say some things, they could still think of them.
However, no one figured it out.
Maybe, this is what a man is...
Han Cheng held Xiao Xing'er in his arms, walking in this strange yet familiar place, talking to Wu and the senior brother, and he had a unique feeling...
Time passed quickly, and before we knew it, the sun had already set, marking the most anticipated evening.
As night fell, Han Cheng took a bath and went to bed early.
There was nothing colorful going on.
So the two guys, one big and one small, were both pestering him to play.
Han Cheng just played with the two little ones whom he hadn't seen for a long time and enjoyed the family time.
The two little guys hadn’t seen Han Cheng for a long time, and they were very excited. They played for a long time and didn’t want to go to sleep.
Han Cheng looked at Bai Xuemei beside him, smiled helplessly, and could only continue to play with the two little guys.
It was Sister Bai Xue who rescued Han Cheng from this situation.
As she spoke, the two little guys quickly climbed up to their own little pits and went to sleep.
Han Cheng also blew out the lights...
