The people of the Green Grass Tribe thought Zhou Ji’s proposal was too tempting, so tempting that they wondered if Zhou Ji was a little stupid: “Are you sure you want to exchange it with meat? We need a lot of meat to eat…”
"Sure." Zhou Ji said.
"This rice doesn't taste good..." the people from the Green Grass Tribe said again.
"I really like the taste of this rice." Zhou Ji said.
On Earth, before the Han Dynasty, rice and wheat were eaten by the lower classes because people at that time did not know how to husk the rice, and these two crops did not taste good when eaten with the husk.
This is apparently also the case in this place.
But Zhou Ji really wanted to eat rice...and hunting was difficult for the people of the Green Grass Tribe, but it was easy for them.
"Then you can exchange one bag of meat for two bags of rice." said the chief of the Green Grass Tribe.
"Wait a moment, I'll send someone to get the meat right away." Zhou Ji said, and then asked: "Can you give me some rice?"
The chief of the Green Grass Tribe was of course willing to give Zhou Ji some rice. In their tribe, this kind of rice was not valuable.
Their tribe grew much more corn than rice, but in the end, they mainly ate rice, because most of the corn they grew was tribute to the Giant Rhino Tribe.
As for the rice... they gave it to the people of the Giant Rhino Tribe for free, but they didn't want it.
Zhou Ji quickly got ten kilograms of rice. Before he could say anything, Xiong Ye asked, "Can I help you husk it?"
Zhou Ji gave the rice to Xiongye without hesitation, and then asked Haifeng to catch some meat - their river ran east-west, and they were walking west all the time. Although they were some distance away from the river, they were not far.
At least at the speed of the sea breeze, it would take an hour to run from here to the river.
Rice is slightly different from barley. Kumano didn't do a good job of husking the rice at first, and some of the rice was broken, but soon he was able to use the stick with just the right force to knock off the husks of the rice, leaving the rice grains relatively intact.
"Add some water and remove the shell inside." Zhou Ji said at this time.
Before, when barley needed to be ground into flour, it was difficult to wet it, so he chose to use the wind to blow away the husks. But now rice has to be cooked with water anyway, so there is no need for that trouble.
After hearing Zhou Ji's words, Xiongye added water to the husked rice, waited for the rice husks to float to the surface of the water, and then poured them out, and the husked rice was now available.
"What can this be used for?" Kumano asked curiously.
He has discovered that things like barley taste so-so on their own, but when combined with other things, they are very delicious.
The same should be true for rice.
I don't know what it can be used for...
"Cook rice." Zhou Ji said, "This is one of the best foods given to us by the Beast God."
The rice grains at that time were not as big as those of later generations, but they were big enough for cooking.
Zhou Ji poured them into the ceramic pot, added water, and asked someone to boil them, and then started cooking.
Stir-fry the vegetables you find on the road, and then stir-fry or grill some meat. The aroma of rice will waft from the clay pot.
Zhou Ji opened the clay pot and a pot of slightly yellowish rice appeared.
Using this method to peel the shells will never be a very clean process... In fact, this is just right and can retain more nutrients.
Zhou Ji filled a large bowl of rice, took a bite, and found it extremely delicious.
Before, he thought stir-fried vegetables and meat were delicious, but he felt it was boring to eat them all the time. Now he realized that it was because there was no rice.
After all, local eggs and barley are not as good as rice.
While Zhou Ji was cooking rice, the millet porridge they had cooked at the beginning was already cooked, and the people of the Big Bear tribe had already grilled a lot of barbecue.
Take a bite of barbecue and drink a bowl of millet porridge...it tastes really good!
The people of the Big Bear tribe ate with great appetite, and at the same time they looked at the pot of rice that belonged to Zhou Ji and Xiong Ye.
"Zhou Ji, this..." Xiong Qi walked over with the bowl.
Zhou Ji gave him a bowl of rice.
At first, Xiong Qi thought that this rice was similar to barley rice, but after actually eating it, he found that the rice was much softer.
It actually has no taste, but if you chew it carefully, it has a sweet taste...
The rice tastes just so-so when eaten alone, but when eaten with the very flavorful meat fried by Zhou Ji... it's really delicious!
Too bad there's only one bowl!
Xiong Qi saw Xiong Ye eating one bowl after another and suddenly felt a little jealous.
The people in the Big Bear Tribe were all envious of the rice, but the people in the Green Grass Tribe were speechless when they saw what Zhou Ji did.
They had heard that Zhou Ji wanted to exchange meat for rice and wondered if there was a conspiracy. Now they knew there was no conspiracy.
"As expected of a big tribe, you even husk the rice before eating it!"
"The rice should be delicious after being prepared like this, but it's much less, what a waste..."
"Even if we do this, rice is still rice, and it's not as delicious as meat..."
…
The people of the Green Grass Tribe have already determined that the patriarch and priest of the Big Bear Tribe are definitely very pampered, and they use so many different tricks even to eat rice.
However, even though they thought so, seeing Zhou Ji and Kumano eating so happily, the people of the Green Grass Tribe also wanted to give it a try, and finally they followed Kumano's example and wanted to shell the rice.
The rice was crushed by them.
The people of the Green Grass Tribe were reluctant to waste it, so they added some water and swallowed the crushed rice directly, and then stopped thinking about it.
They should just wait for the meat from the Big Bear Tribe!
The people of the Big Bear Tribe are grilling meat, and the smell of the barbecue is so delicious.
They want to eat meat!
As the people of the Green Grass Tribe were thinking this, they heard a loud noise, as if some giant beast was coming towards them...
The people of the Green Grass Tribe who were watching the people of the Big Bear Tribe eating suddenly turned into rabbits, mice, and other creatures, and quickly went into the cave. Some women holding children, whose children were too young to turn into animals, went into the larger caves with their children.
For a moment, all the people in the Green Grass Tribe hid themselves.
Zhou Ji: “…”
Xiong Ye couldn't help but his eyes sparkled: "Zhou Ji, these people in animal form look so cute."
Zhou Ji: “…”
The people of the Green Grass Tribe hid quickly. A woman with a child even asked the people of the Big Bear Tribe to hide together. Upon hearing this, Zhou Ji said, "It's okay. People from our tribe have returned from hunting."
The people of the Green Grass Tribe were bewildered—aren’t all these people staying here? When did you go hunting?
Oh, not long ago, the person in front of me seemed to ask someone to get some meat, but that person was alone, so what kind of meat could he bring back?
The people of the Green Grass Tribe didn't take it seriously at the time, and now they think Zhou Ji is talking nonsense.
Then they saw Haifeng coming back carrying two crocodiles that were more than ten meters long. He was very happy to see Zhou Ji and others, so he walked faster. Then one of the crocodiles was accidentally hooked by a tree... Haifeng frowned and pulled hard, and the tree was torn apart.
Haifeng, who hated crocodiles, came to Zhou Ji with two crocodiles in his hand and put them down: "I killed four in total, but it's a pity that I can't carry them..."
"You should be able to lift the weight of four crocodiles?" Zhou Ji said.
"But I only have two hands!" said Haifeng.
"..." Zhou Ji said: "You can tie them up."
"I forgot." Haifeng grabbed his head and smiled innocently: "And I don't know how to tie a knot."
Zhou Ji suddenly realized that in addition to asking Kumano to teach Haifeng how to use energy, he also had to ask Kumano to teach Haifeng how to tie knots or do something similar.
This sea breeze, I don’t understand anything!
Zhou Ji despised Hai Feng for not knowing anything, but the people of the Qingcao tribe were already confused.
The people of the Qingcao tribe think highly of Zhou Ji and Xiong Ye, thinking that these two people are very powerful at first glance, but they actually look down on Hai Feng.
When everyone saw their fields and houses, they were all very calm, except for this middle-aged man who looked particularly honest. He had an expression of amazement on his face, as if he had never seen the world.
Because of this, they had previously wondered whether this middle-aged man might be a servant picked up along the way by the people of the Big Bear Tribe.
As a result, this untidy bearded man with an accent who looked like he had never seen the world actually caught two terrifying man-eating crocodiles!
The people of the Green Grass Tribe didn't know what to say anymore, and even wanted to worship the sea breeze.
They also felt that it was too much for Zhou Ji to let such a strong man go hunting - how could Zhou Ji just order a strong man around so casually.
Wait... Zhou Ji can order a strong man around, and this strong man is obedient... Could it be that Zhou Ji is even more powerful than this strong man?
The people of the Green Grass Tribe were about to faint. They looked at Haifeng at the same time and couldn't help asking, "Sir, are you a mid-level beast warrior?"
People from the Big Bear Tribe: “…” They all say that those people from the Wild Forest are ignorant, but now it seems that it is the people from the Orc Continent who are ignorant!
Even if an intermediate beast warrior can kill this crocodile, he can't bring it back easily!
"I am the Beast King." Haifeng said honestly.
The chief of the Green Grass Tribe fainted.
Zhou Ji: “…”
The chief of the Green Grass tribe fainted for a short time and recovered quickly. Then, he gave all the rice to Zhou Ji without hesitation: "I didn't expect that our tribe would welcome a beast king. We are willing to give all these rice to the beast king."
"Just follow the exchange we agreed on before. You can exchange one bag of meat for one kilogram of rice, so that you won't have enough to eat." Zhou Ji said, and then looked at Haifeng: "Haifeng, go down and bring back the remaining crocodiles."
"You can ask someone else to get it." Haifeng muttered.
"You're fast." Zhou Ji said, "I have some delicious food here, can you take it after you finish eating?"
Haifeng looked at the food in front of Zhou Ji and agreed without thinking: "Okay!"
Seeing that Haifeng agreed, Zhou Ji gave Haifeng all the leftover rice between him and Xiongye, the leftover millet porridge from the people of the Big Bear tribe, and the barbecue.
Haifeng ate all of them in one breath and said, "These corn and rice are both delicious..."
The people of the Green Grass Tribe were stunned when they saw how much Haifeng ate: This guy is such a big eater! ”
The people and animals of the Green Grass Tribe are all very small, and their appetites are small. A meal like Sea Breeze can last them for dozens of days!
It turns out that the Beast King can eat so much? No wonder they are always asked to pay tribute of food...
Haifeng ate the last bowl of corn porridge and said, "I'll go get the dinosaur back right away."
Seeing this, Xiong Ye said, "I'll go with you." He wanted to get something to eat for Zhou Ji.
"Okay!" Haifeng agreed.
The two left quickly and came back two hours later, bringing back four more crocodiles. After seeing the group of crocodiles, the sea breeze killed two more...
Of course, they brought back not only crocodiles, but Kumano also brought back some fish and some eggs.
"Zhou Ji, I found some water bird eggs..." Xiong Ye showed the eggs to Zhou Ji.
Zhou Ji said: "Let's get some more rice and cook a pot of rice."
Xiong Ye was a little stunned: "Are you not full?" Zhou Ji had eaten a lot before... Are you still not full?
"I'm full." Zhou Ji said, "I'm just cooking a pot of rice and waiting to make egg fried rice tomorrow."
Fried rice with egg? Kumano was a little confused. He knew that eggs could be fried, but it turned out that rice could also be fried?
At this moment, Zhou Ji felt that it was a bit too much to wait until tomorrow... "I think I'm a little hungry. I'll be able to eat after the rice is cooked. We can have egg fried rice tonight."
Eggs and rice are definitely a great combination, he wants to eat it!
Zhou Ji was thinking this when suddenly a strange voice asked, "What is egg fried rice?"
Zhou Ji looked over and saw that the person asking the question was a teenager who looked no more than fourteen or fifteen years old. The teenager was tilting his head and looking at Zhou Ji curiously.
Zhou Ji had already discovered this young man. He was not very strong, just an ordinary person, so he thought he was from the Green Grass Tribe. But now...
Judging from the expressions of the people from the Green Grass Tribe, it was obvious that they did not know this young man.
But it’s nothing, he’s just a child… Zhou Ji said: “Egg fried rice is just frying eggs and rice together with oil.”
“What is rice?”
“Rice is food made by cooking rice with water.”
"What is rice?"
"That's rice." Zhou Ji answered good-naturedly, pointing at the rice. He felt that this person should not have any other problems.
As a result… the boy asked, “What is oil?”
Zhou Ji: “…”
Zhou Ji ignored the young man and went to cook.
He was waiting to eat egg fried rice.
However, he ignored the boy, who immediately asked, "Why don't you answer?"
