Salt, for people of this era, really has infinite benefits.
Especially for a tribe like the Xi Tribe that has already known the wonderful taste of salt and feels that it cannot live without salt, salt is really extremely important and has a fascinating charm.
Therefore, after this man pointed at the mountain that was cracked by something unknown and shouted the word "salt", the people of the Creek Tribe couldn't help but get excited and felt their hearts pounding. Some people even raised their overdeveloped chest muscles, which were moved by the violently beating hearts.
Even the older female primitive who wanted to go back the most no longer talked about going back. She looked at the large patches of white, and her eyes were almost shining.
Salt is a good medicine with a clear and obvious effect. At this time, the courage of the people in the Xi tribe increased by more than 10%.
"#￥WEe salt!"
Look, the older female primitive who just wanted to lead the escape was the first to scream and point at the revealed white color. She was so excited that she no longer talked about returning to the tribe.
After she said a few words to the crowd, she took the lead and walked towards the white area.
The rest of the people followed her there.
Of course she was still a little afraid, otherwise this older female primitive would not have held the weapon so tightly in her hand and raised the half bronze tiger talisman so high.
Especially when they were climbing up the sliding mountain, the older female primitive people felt that their legs were weak and they had almost no strength left in their bodies.
But when she looked up at the half tiger talisman in her hand and then at the pieces of white salt, the older female primitive couldn't help but continue moving forward.
The person following behind her was in a similar condition to her.
The mountain that had just slid down seemed extremely steep, and because the soil was wet, it was very difficult to climb up.
It was very difficult for the people of the Xi tribe to climb up, and two of them even accidentally rolled down and got covered in mud.
However, these people did not go back. After getting up, they continued to climb upwards.
After some difficulty, the older female primitive people who were crawling in the front were the first to reach the lowest point where there was a large piece of white substance, which they believed to be salt.
She stuck the stick-like weapon in her hand into the ground, then with slightly trembling hands she scooped a little white salt from it and put it into her mouth impatiently.
However, many times, the more hope there is, the greater the disappointment, like now.
The older female primitive person of the Creek Tribe was filled with joy and excitement, but her expression froze after she put something white into her mouth.
All the joy and excitement in my heart disappeared, replaced by deep disappointment.
The people who climbed up later, after seeing her reaction, seemed to understand something and were filled with disappointment.
But there were still many people who were unwilling to accept and did not want to believe that these were all true, so they reached out and picked up some white things that looked very similar in color to the salt they had exchanged from the Qingque tribe and put them into the empty mouth.
The taste of salt did not arrive as expected, and those who refused to give up had no choice but to give up.
The people who were so excited and happy just now looked like eggplants hit by frost, with their heads drooped and the atmosphere was sad.
The raindrops falling from the sky further intensified the sad atmosphere.
Under such emotions, a person who had tasted what they thought was salt not long ago couldn't help but move her lips, just like after eating something, she couldn't help but smack her lips and savor it carefully.
After a while, the man reached out and scooped some of the white stuff, which they thought was salt, from the ground, put it in his mouth, and tasted it carefully.
This white, soil-like substance is slippery and soft when you put it in your mouth.
It feels the same when you chew it with your teeth, and it won't hurt your teeth.
It has no taste of sweet, salty or bitter. It is not bad, but it is not delicious either. It is a very ordinary food.
The man moved his mouth for a while and swallowed what looked like white mud. Then his eyes couldn't help but light up.
"W%^@3!"
She couldn't help but shout to everyone, her voice filled with joy and excitement.
Everyone who understood what she meant shifted their attention away from the disappointment that this thing was not salt, and scooped some up with their hands and put it into their mouths.
After this person's reminder, they no longer just paid attention to whether these things were salty or not, but began to pay attention to other aspects.
After a while, the eyes of these people began to brighten.
Because they found that this thing really could be eaten as that person said!
It is not bitter, has no peculiar smell, and does not hurt the teeth, which is very good news for them.
It doesn't matter if the taste is a little worse, as long as it can satisfy your hunger and fill your stomach.
Moreover, they also had salt exchanged from the kind and powerful Qingque tribe, which could make food extremely delicious.
When the time comes, sprinkle some salt on it and eat it. Wouldn't it become delicious?
So, the crowd that was full of disappointment just now was now filled with deep joy.
This is a new food!
And there are so many more here!
With these foods, life in their tribe will suddenly become much better.
Even if they couldn't hunt or gather any food, with this new food emerging from the soil, they would no longer go hungry!
Some people even thought of using this new food to exchange things with the Green Bird Tribe.
In the past, because the amount of food obtained by their tribe was limited, it was already a bit difficult to exchange it for only salt.
The Qingque tribe has many good things besides salt.
For example, the thing that is different from animal skins, looks beautiful when tied on the hair, and is called a red headband by the people of the Qingque tribe.
For example, something called soap can make hair smooth, clean and fragrant.
And the kind of combs used to take care of hair, and the kind of clothes that are very breathable and different from animal skins that can be worn in this season...
They have been looking forward to these things for a long time, but because the tribe has too little, there are not many things to get other than salt, so they can only bury these hopes deep in their hearts.
But now, everything seems to be different all of a sudden.
With this abundant supply of food that they could dig from the land, they were able to exchange it for the things they had longed for!
It is a woman's nature to like beauty, and dressing herself up beautifully is what every woman wants to do.
Whether in ancient times or in later times, it is the same.
In the past, when the Xi tribe had no power, these people buried their wishes deep in their hearts.
Now that they have the ability, these people immediately want to start shopping.
"#%5@3..."
The older female primitive seemed extremely excited and spoke to everyone.
What she meant was to quickly dig up some of this new food and bring it back to the tribe, so that they could eat it today after the leader and his men came back.
So everyone started digging with the sticks in their hands, and carefully placed the white mud-like food they dug out on the leaves they picked to use as shelter from the rain.
Everyone dug a lot, and after making sure that it was enough for everyone in the tribe, they tucked their weapons made of wooden sticks under their arms, held the white soil food placed on the large leaves in their hands, and walked down carefully.
In fact, the people of the Xi tribe were reluctant to leave here, but it was still raining, and the furs wrapped around many of them had been soaked by the rain. The cool rain felt very cold on their bodies.
It was obviously not suitable for them to stay outside any longer in this state. They needed to return to the cave as soon as possible, drink some hot water boiled in precious pottery obtained from the Qingque tribe, and then use fire to dry the water on their bodies to warm them up.
Otherwise, some people may die.
This is the experience they gained after living for a long time.
Of course, in the past they only did things like avoid getting wet in the rain, use fire to dry their fur and body, and drink hot water. It was only in recent years that they added these things after they obtained pottery from the Qingque tribe and learned how to use it, and discovered that drinking hot water could warm people up quickly.
Fortunately, their tribe was the only one nearby, so they didn't have to worry too much about the food that came out of the soil being taken away by other people.
These people returned to the cave with the white food in their hands. The minors who were waiting inside the cave with a little nervousness, as well as some adults who did not go in and were not strong enough, all became extremely happy after seeing so many white things and hearing that these were edible foods and that there were plenty of them.
For these people, there couldn't be any better news.
Not only was there nothing scary at the place where the horrible noise came from, but there was also so much edible food. Such a change really made people extremely happy.
Many people swallowed their saliva and tried to eat this new thing, but they didn't eat too much.
This is because the leader and his men have not returned yet, and it is not yet time to eat food on a large scale.
All they could do was drink more hot water boiled in pottery to fill their stomachs.
Although you will feel hungrier the more hot water you drink when there is not much food in your stomach, it is still better to have something in your stomach than nothing.
While waiting like this, the rain was still falling outside, wetting the ground and making the air much colder.
Time passed by little by little, but because there was no sun outside and the sky was cloudy, the light changes were not obvious, so it was difficult for people to judge how much time had passed and how long it would take until dark.
As everyone waited like this, no one knew how long it had been, before the leaders of the Creek Tribe finally came back from outside with animal skins dripping with water on their heads.
They were lucky on this trip and caught some prey.
It is impossible to feed everyone, but if you put it in a clay pot and add some water to boil it, it will basically be enough to eat.
The leader of the Creek Tribe was carrying a prey and walking hurriedly towards the cave.
On the one hand, they were very happy about having caught prey, and on the other hand, many of them were half soaked by the rain and needed to hurry back to the cave to warm themselves by the fire.
The people of the Xi Tribe, who had been looking forward to the return of their leader, couldn't help but cheer out loud when they saw their leader.
They couldn't wait for their leader to return and tell them the great news.
The leaders of the Xi tribe thought that the people in the tribe were so happy because they saw the prey in their hands, so those who had prey in their hands raised the prey high, and those who did not have prey puffed out their chests, each of them proudly looking like a rooster that had just come down from the back of a hen.
Seeing the look on the leader's face, the people who stayed in the cave cheered even louder.
The leaders of the Creek Tribe couldn't help but puff out their chests even higher, not to mention the pride and satisfaction in their hearts.
However, when they returned to the cave, saw the white food, and heard about the experiences and discoveries of these people in the tribe after they left, the leaders of the Creek Tribe couldn't help but blush.
I felt uncomfortable with the pride and complacency that I and others had just shown.
However, this discomfort was soon replaced by intense joy.
Compared with the large amount of food that can be easily obtained, what he and others had just experienced was nothing.
So the leader of the Creek Tribe quickly asked the people in the tribe where they found these new edible foods.
A moment later, the leader of the Creek tribe, who had just taken two sips of hot tea, came out of the cave with his men and walked towards there under the leadership of the older female primitive people.
Because the leaders had all returned and the rain was not as heavy as before, the older minors also came out.
They also want to see that magical place.
"#￥5WE..."
Looking at the peeling mountain and the large patches of white new food revealed in the mountain, everyone, including the leader of the Creek Tribe, couldn't help but cheer.
This is really very good news for them.
After all, most of them had eaten some of this new white food not long ago.
After cheering for a while, everyone dug up some more of the white muddy food and took it back to the cave.
"#￥5YU..."
After returning to the cave, under the instructions of the leader of the Creek Tribe, everyone began to process the prey they hunted today and prepare to cook.
The older female primitive pointed at the newly obtained white food and recommended it to the leader of the Creek tribe.
What she meant was that the people in the tribe could eat some of this new food and some of the prey they had caught, so that everyone would be able to drink delicious broth tomorrow morning.
Those who discovered this new food with the older female primitives also looked at their leader eagerly.
This is a mentality that many people have, hoping that what they discover can be recognized by others as soon as possible.
For them, the greatest recognition would be to get everyone in the tribe to eat this new white food.
The leader of the Creek tribe was very tempted by what he said, but after thinking it over he decided not to do it.
“#￥@#…”
He shook his head at the older female primitive, meaning that they needed to wait a while and let people try it and confirm that the new food was indeed edible before eating it on a large scale.
"#5WE..."
After understanding what the leader meant, the older female primitive spoke up, saying that she and these people tried the new foods when they first discovered them, and they were fine and are still alive and well.
In order to increase credibility and convince the leader as soon as possible, she actually jumped up on the spot while saying this.
Of course, everything would be even more perfect if the animal skin hadn't fallen off.
The other female primitives also nodded and beat their chests hard to prove to their leader that there was really no problem eating this new food.
In fact, the leader of the Xi tribe brought his people back and tried the new white food after hearing about it. At this time, he also did not feel any discomfort, but he was still a little worried.
"#￥%6..."
After thinking for a while, the leader of the Creek Tribe shook his head vigorously and told everyone his thoughts.
His idea was that everyone should drink broth tonight, and at the same time choose one person to eat more of this new white food.
After eating it for two consecutive days and making sure that everything was fine, we started eating it on a large scale in the tribe.
Although the older female primitive people all felt that the leader was too cautious, since the leader said so, they had no choice but to do as the leader said.
The older female primitive was the first to pat her chest and tell the leader of the Creek Tribe that she was willing to try the new food.
The rest of the people, especially the first group of people who discovered this new food, followed suit and expressed their willingness to try this new food as well.
They had tried this new food before and didn't find it poisonous.
Moreover, once you are successful in trying new foods, your status in the tribe can be greatly improved.
Naturally, they don't want to miss such a good thing.
Of course, it is up to the leader to decide who will try the new food in the end.
“#￥5@!”
The leader of the Creek Tribe glanced at everyone, then pointed at one person and said, let her try the new white food.
The person he pointed out looked older than the older female primitives, and appeared weak overall.
The cheeks are sunken, the cheekbones are high, and there is not much flesh.
Such people are of little use in the tribe.
So the leader of the Creek Tribe gave this task to her.
After receiving this task, this person not only did not feel any fear, on the contrary, she was very happy.
After all, she had seen everyone rushing to try this new food, and she knew that there was no problem with this new food.
Moreover, as she grew older, her status in the tribe became worse and worse. She became a burden and the food she received each time was the least and the worst.
After trying this new food and confirming that it is edible, her status in the tribe will be improved and her life will be improved accordingly, so she is so happy.
Primitive people would also weigh the pros and cons.
Under the envious gaze of the older female primitive people and others, the old primitive man grabbed the new food with his hands and put it into his mouth.
This new food tastes soft, smooth and does not hurt the teeth, making it very suitable for people like old primitive people.
The old primitive person had not had a full meal for a long time, so she would not let go of the opportunity to eat more. She grabbed the new white food with her hands and kept putting it into her mouth until she was a little full, then she stopped.
It feels really good to be full. After drinking some hot water, the old primitive man burped and smiled with satisfaction and happiness.
Seeing this scene, everyone in the Xi tribe was delighted.
So happy for them to have such a great new food...
"#￥5E..."
As night fell, the cave of the Creek Tribe, which had just drunk the meat soup, was not as quiet as usual. Everyone involuntarily turned their eyes to the primitive woman lying on the hay, with anticipation and excitement.
After a while, the leader of the Creek Tribe personally asked the old primitive man how he felt.
Every time, faced with the leader’s questions, the old primitive man would smile and nod.
This scene made everyone even happier, even the leader of the Creek Tribe had a smile on his face.
This kind of greetings lasted for a long time before finally coming to an end.
With hope and joy, everyone began to rest.
The old primitive man, who had eaten his fill, began to rest and soon fell asleep.
It was unknown how long it took, but the severe abdominal pain woke the old primitive person from her deep sleep. The pain was so severe that she couldn't help but bend her body.
After enduring here for a while, she finally couldn't bear it anymore. She crawled up from the ground with some difficulty, covered her stomach and walked towards the entrance of the cave, and went outside to defecate.
However, my legs were numb from squatting, my stomach ached and I was sweating all over, but I didn't defecate at all.
So she stood up and walked towards the cave tremblingly, and couldn't help but call out.
Such noise soon woke up the rest of the people in the cave. After seeing the appearance of the old primitive man, those who were still dreaming were all shocked.
After a while, accompanied by the leader of the Creek Tribe and others, the old primitive man came out of the cave again to relieve himself...
