Guo's voice called from afar. Xiao Li stood up and walked over. Everyone was getting ready to go back. It wasn't far from the tribe; it would only take about ten minutes to walk there.
Xiao Li returned to her stone cave according to her memory. As soon as she entered, she saw the original owner's mother, Yun, carrying her little brother, Yu, as she walked out.
"Li, what happened to your head?" Yun put her youngest son on the ground and rushed over to check on him.
"Mom, I got hit by a gray fruit, but I'm fine now."
"Let me see, it's bleeding, it must hurt a lot~" Yun's face showed heartache.
"If I had known you were at home with Yu, I would have gone picking."
"Mom, I'm perfectly fine, don't worry." Xiao Li turned around and Yun finally felt relieved.
Seeing that her daughter was alright, she picked up the gray fruit her daughter had brought back and put it into the grain storage area.
Xiao Li looked at her two-year-old brother, who was at the cutest age. His big, round eyes stared at his sister as he wobbled over and hugged her leg.
"Sister..."
Xiao Li took out a White Rabbit milk candy, peeled off the wrapper, and stuffed it into his mouth.
Yu's eyes widened in surprise, as if he wanted to vomit. Xiao Li quickly covered his mouth.
"Eat it quickly, or it will be gone if you spit it out. I'll give you more next time."
Yu obediently closed her mouth, sucking on the sweet syrup, reluctant to swallow it all at once.
Seeing that he had finished eating, Xiao Li carried him towards her bed. It was actually just a large, relatively flat rock covered with animal hide.
She climbed up and sat down against the wall, playing with her younger brother for a while. Yun came out and took Yu away. Only then did Xiaoli close her eyes and silently circulate her internal energy.
As darkness fell, her older brother, Lan, returned with food. Xiao Li looked at the half-cooked meat and found it hard to eat.
She pretended to be dizzy and had no appetite, so she only ate two gray fruits. These fruits looked a bit like dates, but they were gray in color and tasted sweet; they were quite delicious.
She prayed that the female lead would be quick and cook the delicious food, so she could eat it openly and honestly.
The next day, despite Yun's objections, Xiaoli left the cave with her brother.
She wanted to see what new inventions the female lead had today. It couldn't be too slow; she wanted to eat some delicious stir-fried dishes today.
Unfortunately, the female lead wasn't there today; she didn't even go out. Xiao Li was a little disappointed. Fortunately, the female lead came out on the third night when they were distributing food.
By this time, the tribe had actually made some progress; at least they had learned how to preserve fire.
The food they ate was also roasted over a fire and seasoned with coarse salt, but that was about it.
Ye Qiu frowned slightly as she looked at the large chunks of roasted meat. Her eyes darted around, and she whispered something to Meng. Meng hesitated for a moment, then walked towards the leader.
"Ling, Qiu said she can make food taste better. Can we let her try?"
Li looked at Ye Qiu, about to refuse, when Xiao Li grabbed her father's hand.
"Father, please try it, I want to see."
When Li heard his daughter say that, he nodded in agreement.
Ye Qiu glanced at Xiao Li, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes. Just a bunch of barbarians.
Meng waved at Ye Qiu, who patted the hem of his shirt and walked over with an air of arrogance.
Xiao Li almost burst out laughing when she saw the stains on Ye Qiu's white shirt. It's so dirty, did he roll around on the floor several times?
She didn't even bother to change into animal skins or wash her clothes. She was secretly mocking the primitive people wearing animal skins, unaware that her own filthy clothes only made her look worse.
Ye Qiu crushed the coarse salt with a small stone, cut a piece of fatty meat into thin slices with the knife she carried with her, and cut a piece of lean meat into thin slices for later use.
She took a flat stone and placed it on the fire. Once the stone was hot, she put thinly sliced fatty meat on it and started to stir-fry it.
The fat from the pork slowly seeped out, releasing an enticing aroma. Everyone watching was astonished.
She mixed the lean meat with salt again, then stir-fried it on a stone. The aroma became even stronger, and everyone gathered around, their mouths watering.
"This meat can not only be stir-fried like this, but it can also be stewed in soup, braised, or steamed, all of which are delicious," Ye Qiu said, showing off as he stir-fried the meat.
"What is stewing soup? How do you braise it? What other ways are there to eat it?" Xiaoli asked excitedly, asking questions nonstop.
...
"It can also be stir-fried with other dishes, and it tastes good too."
Ye Qiu racked his brains and said a lot.
Xiao Li stopped when she saw that she couldn't say anything more. She was very happy; the more she talked, the better, because that's how she could learn.
"Phew..." Ye Qiu breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Xiao Li wasn't asking anymore; she couldn't say anything more.
This girl is asking too many questions. How can she possibly remember all that I've said? It's ridiculous. Do these barbarians think they can learn just by talking?
Ye Qiu raised his eyebrows smugly and stirred the food even more vigorously. A short while later, a burnt smell wafted over.
"Oh no, it's burnt."
Ye Qiu hurriedly moved the meat aside, wiped his sweat, and thought, even if it's a little burnt, it should still taste okay.
"It's ready to eat."
Everyone looked at each other, and although the taste was quite tempting, no one dared to try it.
Ye Qiu picked up a piece of meat and stuffed it into her mouth. Finally, she got to eat stir-fried meat. Heaven knows how much she missed stir-fried dishes after eating wild fruit for two days.
Li stepped forward, picked up a piece of meat, and put it in his mouth. His eyes lit up immediately; it tasted much better than before.
He quickly stuffed a piece into Xiaoli's mouth, and everyone around rushed over, soon finishing it all.
Ye Qiu stared wide-eyed. Although it was a little burnt, she hadn't even eaten it yet, and it was gone just like that. She muttered to herself, but secretly she was quite pleased with herself.
Xiao Li was given a bite of meat. This world has spiritual energy, and so does the meat. It's also very fresh, and it's delicious even with simple stir-frying. Her eyes sparkled, and she was very satisfied with the female lead's performance.
"Great, what is this thing you use to cut meat? Can I take a look?"
Ye Qiu felt a surge of nervousness. This was the fruit knife she always carried with her, which didn't exist in this world, but she still handed it over.
"This is a product of my Huaxia tribe, it's called a knife. It's very sharp."
"Be careful, don't touch the blade, you'll cut your hand."
Li was startled and didn't dare to touch it again, so he quickly returned it to Ye Qiu.
In the end, Li decided to divide the food according to the old habit, since there were too many people and it would be difficult to stir-fry the meat, as just cutting the meat would take a lot of time.
If you want to cook it yourself, you can take the pre-portioned food home and cook it yourself.
Ye Qiu frowned, extremely dissatisfied with this unsupportive leader. The meat he cooked was clearly much tastier, yet the leader just glossed over it and didn't take it seriously at all.
Ye Qiu's face turned red with anger, feeling utterly humiliated. She angrily took the knife and went back to the cave.
