Chapter 63: Learning to Hold Chopsticks
Xia Tian made up an excuse and turned everyone's attention to the use of chopsticks, demonstrating how to use them by holding the chopsticks in her hands.
"Look, if you hold the top part like I do and press it down with your thumb, you can spread and close these two fingers, and then support it with the bottom part... You see, you can pick things up like this."
The girl used the chopsticks smoothly. She picked up a piece of meat and put it into her mouth easily, which made everyone envious.
Aunt Meng knew that Xia always liked to tinker with these little things, and eating this way was indeed cleaner and more hygienic, so she lowered her head and drank the soup silently, without interfering with her teaching the children how to use chopsticks.
The children also wanted to eat quickly like Xia, and seeing the girl's movements seemed simple, they were all eager to try to pick up the meat, but the results were not satisfactory -
Either I couldn't hold it steadily, or I didn't master the technique, the distance between the two chopsticks was too large, or I used too much force. In short, I never succeeded.
Fortunately, the children cherish food very much and know to hold the bowl near their mouths to catch the food, so there is no "accident" of food waste.
On the live broadcast screen, a group of children were clumsily learning to use chopsticks. Their soft and cute appearance amused many viewers in the live broadcast room.
[What is this? Why can't I learn it? ]
[Hahahaha, you can try the previous one, I haven’t succeeded yet]
【It’s easy to know, but hard to do. It’s really hard】
It’s really interesting to watch these children eat.
After a while, fortunately, using chopsticks is relatively simple as long as you master the skills, and some children have already learned it.
Even those who were not very skilled knew how to put the chopsticks together, hold the bowl and scoop the food into their mouths, and they were able to eat their meal smoothly.
Xia Tian just wanted to take this opportunity to correct the children's unhygienic eating habits. She didn't really want them to learn how to use chopsticks today or not be allowed to eat if they couldn't. So she turned a blind eye and ate lunch with them.
After lunch, Xia Tian repeated what she had said before, emphasizing that they should come to her whenever they felt unwell, and asked them to wait until the sun was setting before returning to the tribe.
After seeing Aunt Meng and the children off, Xia Tian cleaned up the food leftovers and prepared for what she would do in the afternoon.
"Our main task this afternoon is to reinforce the shelter and check the traps placed over there."
After sending everyone away, she was the only one left in her camp, so she could interact with the audience. "I think it's going to rain soon. It often rains for several days in a row here, and it's mostly strong winds and downpours. I'm planning to move. But before I move, I'm going to reinforce the shelter first and then look for a cave or something like that."
We chose this place as a camp and shelter simply because we had just crossed over and didn't have much time to think about it. It was also close to the river, so there weren't any major problems.
Of course, there is no problem if it is placed in good weather. The surrounding trees can provide shade, and there is no shortage of daily firewood.
But now the weather may be changing. If this shelter built with vines, branches and leaves really encounters such extreme weather, I am afraid that not even a piece of it will be left.
Not to mention that this is a primeval jungle with tall trees everywhere. If a thunderstorm caused a forest fire, she would be burned to death and there would be no place to seek help...
Therefore, finding a new shelter must be put on the agenda.
