Xiu Yan's four fat paws were tightly entangled by the snake, and he lay on his back in his cozy little nest, snoring. Ji Nuan opened the animal skin curtain and saw the fat boy sleeping soundly, and shook her head in amusement.
Turning back to the food storage cave, Ji Nuan took out the Stinky Fruit and Divine Punishment Fruit from the basket and carefully smashed the two kinds of fruits open.
Unlike the first time I smelled it, the stinky fruit exudes a refreshing fragrance that makes people feel comfortable. The flesh of the stinky fruit is dug out and placed in a stone pot. The stone knife is used to mash the flesh into powder.
Feeling that it was already very delicate, Ji Nuan stood up, took the stone bowl and fetched a bowl of water from the wooden barrel, and carefully kneaded the powder made from the stinky fruit pulp into a ball. Although she didn't know how it would taste for the time being, the kneaded stinky fruit balls felt exactly the same as flour.
After placing the dough in the stone pot and covering it with a large leaf, Ji Nuan picked up a fruit of divine punishment, washed it clean in a stone bowl, and carefully licked the skin of the fruit. It had no taste!
He took the stone knife placed aside and gently knocked a small hole in the fruit of divine punishment. The delicate and pure white substance rushed out along the small hole that was pried open.
Ji Nuan's mind went blank, and she subconsciously clenched her palms, but white sand-like substances dripped down through her fingers and onto the ground beneath her feet.
In disbelief, she brought the hand holding the Fruit of Divine Punishment to her mouth, and dipped a little on it with her tongue. The pure salty taste made Ji Nuan jump for joy.
Salt, this is salt!
And it is very pure salt. The Orc Continent is so magical. The salt here actually grows on trees.
Taking a large, clean leaf, Ji Nuan cracked open all the Fruits of Divine Punishment in the basket on her back, and the collected salt filled up the entire leaf.
After carefully putting away the large leaf filled with salt, Ji Nuan rushed to the river at her fastest speed ever to deal with the three cackling beasts.
It was difficult to dismember a cuckoo beast with a stone knife, put it into a stone pot to fry the oil, pour in an appropriate amount of water, and let it stew.
Ji Nuan pickled the remaining two cuckoo beasts with salt and hung them on the pole at the entrance of the cave.
···
Xiu Yan woke up from his sleep and sniffed carefully. There was the aroma of food and the scent of a female cub in the cave. It seemed that she had returned.
I don’t know how much food I have collected today. I moved my little body, but my three paws still had no strength. Xiu Yan rested his chubby little head on his uninjured front paw in frustration, and I don’t know when I will get better.
…
The cackling beast meat in the stone pot was already cooked very soft. Ji Nuan took a little salt with a wooden spoon and added it into the soup. After stirring it for a while, she took a sip impatiently.
The familiar smell instantly intoxicated Ji Nuan and she closed her eyes. At this moment, she was really about to be moved to tears.
Finally I got to eat salt, finally I got to eat food with flavor!
After being immersed for a while, Ji Nuan put down the wooden spoon in her hand, turned around and took the stinky fruit ball wrapped in a large leaf, pressed it into a thin pancake shape, cut it into thin strips with a stone knife, and then pulled it up with skill by holding both sides. After a while, a thin, long and round stinky fruit noodle was formed in Ji Nuan's hand.
She threw the noodles in her hand into the pot and stirred them twice to prevent them from sticking. Soon, she pulled all the remaining noodles into the pot.
After a while, a pot of steaming noodles was ready. Looking at the noodles rolling in the stone pot, Ji Nuan swallowed hard, looking very useless.
After waiting for a while anxiously, thinking that it should be ready, he picked up a noodle with chopsticks, put it into the stone bowl, and slurped it into his mouth.
After chewing for a few times, Ji Nuan's eyes lit up. The noodles made with stinky fruit were very delicious. It might be because she pulled them thicker, the noodles were very chewy.
Ji Nuan was instantly excited as it was proven that the stinky fruit could really be made into delicious food. In this season, stinky fruit were everywhere, and there was no threat from ferocious sharp-toothed beasts. It was also easy to collect, and it was really the best food to get through the cold season.
After putting some noodles in a stone bowl, and adding some cuckold meat and soup, Ji Nuan picked up the stone bowl and walked into the cave. The little lion cub had already smelled the aroma of food.
Hearing the footsteps of the female cub getting closer and closer with his ears raised high, he quickly raised his fat paw to wipe the saliva from the corner of his mouth, and then lay back on his fat paw with a serious face. However, his constantly shaking ears and twitching little nose betrayed him completely.
Seeing the little lion cub's expression of being bored and restless, Ji Nuan felt relieved. She put the stone bowl in her hand on the side of the stone bed and stroked the little guy's round head with her hand: "Little cub, get up and have dinner!"
The little guy really loves to eat. The cuckoo that I placed next to his den when I left has been reduced to nothing but two large greasy leaves to prove that they once existed.
Xiu Yan shook his head and looked at Ji Nuan angrily. Why did this little female always like to touch him?
The slightest bit of disgust in Xiu Yan's heart, which was upright in heart but disliked in words, was completely thrown out of his mind when he saw the stone bowl brought over by the little female. The little female picked up the fragrant food called noodles with two wooden sticks and fed it into his mouth. The noodles soaked in the rich soup were delicious.
Little Xiuyan showed his love for noodles by eating four large bowls of food and showing an expression of great enjoyment. It was so obvious.
The two beasts quickly finished a pot of noodles and looked at the sky outside the cave, which was just slightly darkening.
Ji Nuan thought about it, then cooked another pot of Gululuo soup and added some stinky fruit balls that were twice as big as the previous ones.
After rubbing the little cub’s chubby belly and watching him fall asleep again with a little snore, Ji Nuan came out of the small cave.
Pull the noodles and put them into the pot. Since I have done it once before, I have become more and more skilled in the operation and the fragrant noodles are quickly put into the stone pot.
While the noodles were not yet cooked, Ji Nuan hurried to the cave of the tribe leader and witch doctor Ama and invited them to her home.
Ge Xing and the witch doctor held the stone bowls and looked at the hot and fragrant food in the bowls, their eyes widened in surprise.
"Mountain boy! What...what kind of food is this?" The witch doctor Ama has lived for many beast years, but has never seen food that looks like this. The aroma of the food in the stone bowl filled the air, making the two beasts drool.
Ji Nuan pretended to be shy and shook her head: "This is food made from stinky fruit.
I used a stone knife to grind the flesh of the stinky fruit into powder, then added water and kneaded it into a ball. I then used the stone knife to cut it into long strips. This is the food.
My little one and I have tried it, it is delicious.”
