Chen Lao Er picked up Chen Nong's short bamboo tube and went to feed him.
Chen Nong was overjoyed as he drank the fragrant chicken soup. He then whispered to his father, "Dad, my brother and I caught several chickens. We'll have chicken soup to drink every day now."
Second brother: "Is the prey over there so easy to hunt?"
Chen Nong: "Yes, the animals over there are silly. If you hit them, they will only run a few steps and then continue eating. They run very slowly, so you can hit them in no time."
"Let me tell you, my brother and I even hunted goats, sheep, and cows. Those cows looked really strange; they were grayish-green! And those sheep were called 'Dundun'!"
The mutton soup was quickly finished, and some people still hadn't had any. So Old Man Zhou had to take out the half-leg of mutton and continue cooking it.
The sands stared longingly at the earthenware pot simmering with meat; they weren't full yet and wanted more.
There was only one chicken. Most of it was given to the third son's wife, the younger children of the Zhou family got some chicken meat, and everyone else only got soup, no meat.
Some things can never be treated equally.
However, Zhou gave each child two sugarcanes, while the adults only received one. The children of the families who were invited to drink beef soup today also received a sugarcane.
Shirakawa shouted, "I want one more, I want one more!"
Zhou glared at him and said, "Haven't you eaten enough at my house?!"
The village chief's wife walked over with a smile and said, "Kids are all like that. Anyway, you still have sugarcane at home. Give him another one and he won't make a fuss."
Zhou said impatiently, "Go away, go play somewhere else, that's all!"
Her family's sugarcane was truly empty. With so many mouths to feed, each person needed at least three stalks a day. The kids kept asking for more, so they had to give them some, and then they'd have to exchange it for other things. Did they really think her sugarcane was a bottomless pit?
If Xiaobao hadn't harvested another batch of sugarcane this morning, she wouldn't have been willing to share so much with everyone today.
The eldest son's wife came out carrying a bamboo basket of sugarcane roots and said, "We don't have any sugarcane left, but we still have sugarcane roots. Feel free to eat as much as you like."
The village chief's wife didn't stand on ceremony; she took a bundle, opened it, and started eating.
Her daughters-in-law also stepped forward to take it. They had all planned to get a half-full meal at the Chen family's house. What was there to be reserved about? Would being reserved fill their stomachs?
After finishing the mutton soup, everyone dispersed.
Daya looked at the food in the warehouse: 6 cornmeal, 10 sweet potatoes, 3 potatoes, 12 raw chicken legs, 3 eggs, 9 raw lamb legs, 5 raw pork belly, 2 raw steaks, 19 strange pork knuckles, and 86 cherries.
The chicken, lamb, and cherries cost energy points and can be taken out directly.
After being carried into the straw shed, Daya told everyone about the current food situation.
Chen Kai said, "Da Ya, spend one energy point to take out a bag of corn flour and take a look."
Daya used up one energy point, and a bag of cornmeal immediately appeared out of thin air next to her.
Zhou picked it up and looked at it, then said happily, "Oh~ golden flour, it's fine flour, there's a pound of it, I'll make pancakes for you later."
Daya said happily, "I have five more packs here, do you want to take them all out?"
Zhou said happily, "Take them all out. We'll make them into dry rations for the journey."
Xiao Tian felt hopeful that he could fill his stomach, and continued, "Da Ya, go and get a serving of sweet potatoes."
Instantly, three large sweet potatoes appeared next to Daya.
Xiao Tian exclaimed excitedly, "This is one set? There are actually three!"
Daya: "Yes, I only took one portion. Is this sweet potato delicious?"
Xiao Tian: "You'll know once you've tried it. The way I saw it in my dream was that you could wash it and eat it raw, or you could roast it, steam it, or boil it. We have rice, so sweet potato porridge would be a good option."
Zhou put the sweet potatoes away, saying, "Then I'll save them for you to make sweet potato porridge."
Chen Kai felt it was a bit of a pity. Sweet potato vines could be planted and sweet potato leaves could be eaten, but these things couldn't be taken out. Once the sweet potatoes were harvested, these roots and stems would be cleared by the system, unlike Xiao Bao, who could be taken out.
Old Man Chen asked Daya to bring out a sheep. They needed to use the sheepskin to tan leather, otherwise they would freeze to death in the winter without any warm clothing.
Chen Kai: "Da Ya, check how many first aid kits and wooden beds you have."
He had synthesized some before, and later Xiao Tian and Chen Nong also helped him make some.
Daya: "There are 30 first aid kits and 43 wooden beds."
Chen Kai: "Bring out a wooden bed for us to see."
Suddenly, a single wooden bed appeared in a corner not far from Daya, with a large white pillow and a yellowish-green quilt.
Sanya excitedly rushed over, "Wow! What a comfortable bed! The blankets are so soft!"
Chen Kai laughed and said, "How about we put out a few more beds so the four of you can lie down on them?"
The four of them excitedly shouted, "Yes, yes, yes!"
They haven't slept in bed for a long time.
Daya set out three more beds and carried them onto them.
"This bed is so comfortable~ It's just as comfortable as the down comforter we had at home~ The comforter feels so light and airy, but it's so warm."
Xiao Tian: "It's stuffed with pure cotton, not like the quilts we used to make at home with willow catkins, poplar catkins, and reed catkins. Of course it's more comfortable."
Zhou said excitedly, "Da Ya, bring out twenty more sheets. Oh, maybe we won't be able to fit them all, so let's bring out five more. We'll take apart the quilts and make cotton-padded clothes and bed sheets. What fine fabric! We'll make a thin jacket for each of you to wear as an undershirt."
Chen Kai smiled. He knew it; how could his mother let such good materials go to waste?
Looking at the clean quilt, Zhou and his family went out to wash their hands first. When they came back, they took the quilt apart and discovered that there was a hidden door on the side of the quilt. They could take it out by pulling open the quilt cover, and the quilt core inside was covered by a layer of white gauze.
The quilt filling was too thick to make a cotton-padded jacket, so they took a pair of scissors, cut open the thin gauze cover, and then took out the cotton.
Daya also brought out the 127 stone spears, 116 stone hoes, and 27 pottery jars they had made. The huge pile of things left Old Man Chen and the others speechless.
"So many?" the eldest brother exclaimed happily.
Daya: "Yes, with the help of my uncles to collect materials this time, my fifth uncle and I made a lot. 127 stone spears, 116 stone hoes, and 27 pottery jars."
Zhou frowned and said, "Why are there so few pottery jars?"
It's actually quite a lot, but with so many stone spears and hoes, and so few pottery jars, it's a bit lacking.
Chen Nong didn't dare to say anything, after all, he was only buying the can for the bubble gum and bubble balls.
Chen Kai said, "We need to break the jars. They need to break the jars to get some crop seeds. Sweet potatoes and potatoes are obtained by breaking the jars."
Mrs. Zhou said with heartache, "It's such a waste to break the jar."
