The soldier looked at Wang Chen with curiosity, because people in the tribe usually ate this kind of thing.
So-called "black food" is a common food for ordinary herders on the grasslands. It is usually made by crushing some edible plant roots and stems, mixing them with some small animals on the grasslands, such as rabbits, mice, and some bird scraps, and then steaming them.
Not only does it taste nauseating, but it is also extremely difficult to digest.
As for cattle and sheep, apart from the nobles, ordinary herders certainly couldn't afford them, because those cattle and sheep didn't belong to them at all.
"Oh, I've had it, but that was a long time ago, and I've forgotten what it tasted like!"
Wang Chen smiled, and as he spoke, he took out an iron can, filled it with water, put a piece of dried meat inside, and then hung it above the campfire.
This kind of dried meat is made by cooking the meat, cutting it into strips, and then sun-drying it to remove moisture. Its volume and weight are less than one-third of the original, making it perfect as military rations.
Before long, the water in the iron can began to boil, and the aroma of meat wafted through the air.
"It smells so good!"
The Southern Xiongnu soldiers, drawn by the aroma, immediately stared intently at the steaming iron can.
Seeing this, Wang Chen just smiled slightly. Feeling that it was almost cooked, he took it off the plate, then picked up a pair of chopsticks, picked up the thoroughly cooked jerky, and took a bite.
Mmm, smells good!
After taking a bite, Wang Chen smacked his lips and closed his eyes, a look of enjoyment on his face.
"Gulp!"
A series of swallowing sounds immediately filled the air.
Wang Chen opened his eyes and saw that all the Southern Xiongnu soldiers around him were looking at him with pursed lips, or more accurately, at the dried meat in his hand.
Wang Chen smiled inwardly, then looked at everyone and asked with a laugh, "What? You want to eat too...?"
No one spoke, they just nodded silently. From their green eyes, it was clear that they really wanted to eat it.
